"Tomorrow" has arrived, today.
The camp bed was a little hard, but the support for his spine was strong, allowing him to sleep well last night. When he opened his eyes, Wen Yuan, who was in the next bed next to him, had already gone out.
"Are you going to practice martial arts so early... It's true that you are a Qi practitioner." He muttered.
"No, Lu Liang just went to practice. I was eating breakfast outside." Wen Yuan poked his head in and said, "You should get up quickly."
"Um."
Somehow, Shangluo wasn't nervous at all - maybe it was because the matter was so big that it was useless to be nervous. My whole body was numb, and it was numb in a 360° circle, and then returned to its original place.
"I said, Miss Apollonia, you seemed to be relatively silent yesterday?"
【Afraid...Afraid...】
"Why are you so scared in front of people other than me! Are you afraid of society or what?"
[Because I'm not familiar with them...and I will never be able to become familiar with them. You alone can hear my voice. 】
"Then what are you afraid of?"
[I'm afraid of the unknown, because I don't know who Taozu is. He has the same origin as the divine machine, but is far greater and more complete than the divine machine. You will see him soon. Let's go have breakfast. 】
Breakfast came surprisingly quickly. Lu Huaiyang had already left the house earlier, and he had some preliminary work to do. Before going out, he left two sheets of 50 yuan on the table and asked Shangluo and Wen Yuan to buy their own breakfast.
The only edible thing in Confucius Temple is breakfast. Because there are only a few things for breakfast, you can make some tricks after cooking for a long time. Shangluo ate steamed glutinous rice wrapped with fried dough sticks stuffed with sugar as before. The combination of carbs, carbs, and carbs immediately boosted his energy, and it was even more delicious when paired with glutinous rice siomai.
"Are you full?" Wen Yuan across the table suddenly asked him.
"Why do you sound like you are sending me on my way..."
"Um... I saw that you ate a lot, and I thought you had just awakened to be really angry. I also ate a lot suddenly at that time."
"It's not that fast. I just ate some carbohydrates to adjust my mood. I feel a bit complicated now, as if I was waiting for my birth at the door of the delivery room."
"What a weird metaphor...but I can probably understand it."
"By the way, where is Lu Liang?"
"We occupied her yard, so she could only go out to practice kung fu in the morning. Logically speaking, she should come back at this time. Maybe she doesn't want to come back - after all, she is not a royal guard, so she can't go with us."
"Then when do we set off?"
"I don't know either." He lowered his head and looked at his watch. "Actually, the main thing is to wait for the emperor to get up, because the access control of that door is in the hands of the emperor. If the emperor doesn't open the door, none of us can get in. It's half past seven now, the emperor It should have just been..."
"The Emperor is ready." Lu Huaiyang suddenly appeared at the door, "Have you finished eating? Leave when you're done. The Emperor has already opened the door first - I've never seen him get up so early."
"Ah, right away." Wen Yuan stuffed the siomai into his mouth, while Shangluo opposite was filling him with soy milk.
"Then you guys eat quickly. The car is at the door. I'll get in the car and wait."
Wiping his mouth with a tissue, Shangluo followed Wen Yuan and walked out of the gate - facing an iron wall blocking his face. There was no such wall yesterday.
"This way." Lu Huaiyang waved at one end of the iron wall, signaling Shangluo to come around to the back. Only then did he see clearly that it was an armored vehicle, and it was surprisingly large. The cars almost filled up Wuyi Alley, and you could only pass sideways on both sides.
"Is this what Jin Yiwei's special car looks like?"
"The 'Dangkang' armored transport vehicle specially driven for you and seconded from the Forbidden Army can ensure your safety even if it hits a landmine. The traffic police are already waiting outside the Confucius Temple. There will be traffic police as soon as we get on the highway. Clear the way ahead to ensure that you can get all the way to the Grand Palace and not be stuck in the middle of the morning rush hour.”
...
Lu Huaiyang was right, there was indeed no parking along the way. The seats of the armored personnel carrier are unexpectedly spacious, each seat is extremely wide, and one or two more people can even be stuffed into the gap between the seats. The car body is as smooth as gliding on ice, and there are no bumps along the way.
Half an hour later, the delivery truck stopped.
The car door opens, and the back door faces the inscription "Xia Ma Fang".
"Get out of the car, we're here."
Covered by green trees, the Xiamafang stands there, and the same piece has not been changed from beginning to end. This is the entrance to Xiaoling Tomb and is now used as one of the entrances to the Grand Palace.
Why the palace was built next to the imperial mausoleum is a question that is difficult to answer. But this seems to be in line with Emperor Taizu's idea, because the palace and the imperial mausoleum in Zhongdu Imperial City are right next to each other, separated only by a wall. Now Xiaoling Mausoleum is not only used as the imperial mausoleum of Emperor Taizu, but also the imperial mausoleums of all previous emperors. Even the emperor can't open another land in Yujing now.
"The place we are going to is Xiaoling?"
"Beside." Lu Huaiyang led the way. Walking in from the boulevard of Xiamafang, a road appeared in front of you. A passenger car that was used during the wild beat balls was already parked there.
"Aren't you going to dismount?"
"Yes, we have dismounted before. Emperor Taizu said to dismount outside, but he did not say that he could not get down inside and get on again. And that is the dismounting station, not the dismounting station. We can take the car, it is not a big problem. Get in the car ,Coming."
Walking north along the avenue, the car drove several people in the direction of Xiaoling. One kilometer to the east, parallel to the Xiaoling Shinto Road, is the Suzaku Avenue of the Grand Palace. The courtiers are gathering on Zhuque Road, preparing to go to Fengtian Hall to attend court - but the emperor is not there, he is here.
The car slowly turned in front of the gate of Xiaoling Mausoleum and walked north along the wall of Xiaoling Mausoleum. The entrance to the cave appeared in front of me, but it was not a cold and dark cave, but a tunnel illuminated by electric lights. The road was built all the way into the tunnel. At the entrance of the tunnel stood two guards wearing flying fish uniforms.
The two Jinyi guards saluted the oncoming car and stepped aside to the side of the road.
Entering the tunnel, the car passed through the light beams of the spotlights. Every time you pass a lamp, you go deeper into the Purple Mountain.
The scenery on both sides remains unchanged. Because the road turns slightly to the right, the exit and end of the tunnel cannot be seen either from the front or the front.
Finally, the car came to the end of the tunnel.
The gate, which looks like a palace, is built into the rock. The gate is ajar. There are also two royal guards here.
Seeing Shangluo's figure, the two Jinyi guards also moved out of the way and out of the gate.
"The Dao Ancestor is inside the door?"
"There is a door inside." Lu Huaiyang was still leading the way.
When entering through the small door, there is a screen wall. After the screen wall, the space suddenly opens up. The stars in the sky are arranged with crystals on the dome, and rivers of mercury flow in the sealed glass tubes. The whale oil lamp was always burning, illuminating the door of the inner palace.
