Such a master of swordsmanship led a group of strong men like wolves and tigers to build a shrine in the royal garden of the palace. There seemed to be some great conspiracy in it!
Zhao Qingsong quickly came to the conclusion that this group of people was planning something evil.
Although he was extremely sure that his guess was absolutely accurate, but he was a small guard in imperial robes and a humble official, so how could he dare to talk nonsense?
As soon as he uttered his speculation, regardless of whether others would believe it or not, the emperor's favorite Concubine Wan Gui believed so deeply in Daoist Jia that after hearing what he said, she would definitely be the first to order her execution!
Why should I ask for trouble?
Moreover, if chaos breaks out in the palace, maybe she can speculate in the chaos and make Wei Ying think that she died in the hands of gangsters. From then on, she will fly away and never come to Beijing, so she will have no worries!
The more Zhao Qingsong thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible, and he paid more and more attention to the actions of Daoist Jia and these coolies.
The night was uneventful. At dawn, Zhao Qingsong handed over his shift to the men who were changing the guard. After returning to the Jinyi Guardhouse to eat, he lay down to rest.
Originally, he was planning to think about what Zhu Miaoying would think if he suddenly broke the appointment? Will she do something stupid? I'll see if I can secretly go to the small palace gate tomorrow to talk to Zhu Miaoying and report something?
As a result, after a long night of hard work, he was so tired that as soon as his head hit the pillow, he fell into unconsciousness and didn't have time to think about anything!
Just when Zhao Qingsong was still sleeping in a daze, he suddenly felt that there was someone next to him. He couldn't help being startled and stood up suddenly!
Years of martial arts training experience have made Zhao Qingsong's nerves extremely sensitive. If he hadn't been too tired last night, he would never have discovered anyone so close to him!
Zhao Qingsong sat up and took a look, and found that the person next to him turned out to be Captain Cao, the captain of the Jinyiwei team. Guess it was his turn to be on duty today?
When Captain Cao saw that Zhao Qingsong was awake, he hurriedly said: "That's great! I even said I was calling you, something serious is going to happen!"
Zhao Qingsong felt a little confused. He looked up and saw that the sun had just set in the west. It was obvious that it was not time for them to be on duty. He scratched his head in confusion and asked: "What's wrong?" ?What happened? Captain Cao."
"Oh, don't mention it. Wei Baihu just issued an order, saying that the construction progress of this platform is too slow and we have to work overtime. We Jinyiwei not only have to be on duty in the Imperial Garden, but we also have to help them build the platform with great efforts. Otherwise, it will not be completed by then, and it will violate the imperial edict. Everyone will be beheaded, and no one can escape! Alas! It is really unlucky, and misfortunes are coming! Now Wei Baihu will ask all of you who are changing shifts to gather in the Imperial Garden immediately. !”
"Hurry up and have something to eat. I'll call the others! I don't know why you're so crazy. What are you doing with such a big stage? Brothers will be exhausted sooner or later counting balls! Alas..." Captain Cao complained and cursed one by one. Go and wake up the others who are still resting.
Zhao Qingsong looked at Captain Cao with some astonishment. Seeing that his face was indeed full of sorrow, it didn't look like he was lying. He couldn't help but sigh, got up, washed up, ate something casually, put on his Feiyu uniform, and then went Gather with all the royal guards in the courtyard.
None of the royal guards had had enough rest, and they were all cursing in an annoyed and low voice.
It's a pity that the emperor's orders are hard to disobey. The job of these imperial guards is to serve people. They don't like it with their mouths, but they do it honestly with their bodies. No one dares to say anything else.
Everyone formed a team, led by Captain Cao, and trotted towards the Imperial Garden.
Just when everyone was halfway through the trot, Zhao Qingsong suddenly had an idea in his mind. He remembered his speculations last night and said to himself: "That's right! This Taoist Master Jia definitely didn't hold anything back! He is Deliberately tormenting us! He first deprived us of enough rest, and then made us do hard work in the imperial garden. Isn’t this clearly intended to consume the physical strength and endurance of us guards? There’s no need to do more, it only takes two or three days. I'm afraid our group won't be able to hold on any longer, and there will probably be many people asking for leave due to illness! If Daoist Master Jia and his gang suddenly start trouble at that time, who in the palace can resist?"
The more Zhao Qingsong thought about it, the more he was right, and he continued to think to himself: "This Taoist Master Jia has spent so much time, what is he going to do? Is he going to usurp the throne? Assassinate the emperor?"
However, he quickly rejected this idea. These royal guards were only the outer defense of the palace. There were more than a dozen guards and many powerful people inside the palace. The emperor had countless personal guards with swords around him. If there is a change in the palace, the imperial army guarding the capital will arrive in an instant. With the few people led by Daoist Jia, if they want to assassinate the emperor just because they are exhausted, this is undoubtedly a dream!
"Since it's not about assassinating the emperor, then Captain Jia must have other plans? Then what is his plan?" Although Zhao Qingsong is extremely smart, the information he has is limited, and he can't figure out what this Captain Jia is. What is the purpose of this act?
The team quickly arrived at the Royal Garden. They had been working hard for the past few days, and Wei Ying, who had always been leisurely, showed signs of fatigue on his face. He arranged the work of Zhao Qingsong's team absentmindedly, and then Went straight away.
Since Zhao Qingsong guessed part of Daoist Jia's intention of asking them to help build the platform, he knew that even if he didn't contribute, the platform would definitely be set up before August 15th, so he paddled deliberately and looked very hard. , In fact, I don’t do the heavy work if I can, I rest when I can, and I never want to put in any extra effort!
The second night was quickly smoothed over by Zhao Qingsong's fishing technique.
Zhao Qingsong followed, and the Jin Yiwei team led by Captain Cao, who was staggering and staggering, returned to the Jinyi Guardhouse. All the Jinyiwei were half exhausted. They didn't even eat when they went back, and they didn't even scold Daozhang Jia's mother. They all started snoring loudly while lying on the bed!
Zhao Qingsong took a hot bath and wiped his official uniform. While eating, he secretly thought to himself: "Today is August 14th, and tomorrow will be August 15th. I think this place is actually early." It can be set up. This Taoist Master Jia deliberately tormented people, saying that the direction was wrong and the time did not match. He erected and dismantled the altar. Isn’t this a stupid boy who is too full and has no work to do? ? I think tonight this shrine will definitely be set up by Taoist Master Jia at dawn, that is, on the morning of August 15th! If this Taoist Master Jia is going to fix things, it will definitely be on the night of August 15th Attack! I have to fish even harder tonight, so be sure to conserve your energy!"
After he finished eating, he went back to his room and lay on the bed. He thought of Zhu Miaoying, whom he hadn't seen for two nights, and thought to himself with great worry: "Then it seems that if there is no problem, I will have to wait until tomorrow night, that is, the night of August 15th." It is possible that I met Zhu Miaoying! I wonder how she is doing? Could she suspect that I took her jade statue and ran away without saying a word? If she thinks so, she will definitely be very angry with me. I haven't shown up for three days. Wouldn't she have done something stupid? Probably not. How could such an innocent person do anything? Perhaps she had learned from the palace maid about the details of most of the Jin Yiwei's affairs. I went to work hard in the Imperial Garden, and was waiting patiently for me to finish my work and bring her delicious food! Hehe... maybe that's it. Tomorrow night happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, so I bought some exquisite and delicious Let her try the mooncakes. I think her 'best friend' won't blame me for starving her for three days, right?"
Zhao Qingsong thought of the innocent and miserable Zhu Miaoying, and an inexplicable emotion arose in his heart. He couldn't tell what this feeling was, but he just felt that it seemed sweet?
In this inexplicable emotion, Zhao Qingsong quickly fell asleep and had a strange dream.
In the dream, Zhu Miaoying somehow turned into his mother, and he nestled in her arms. The two talked and laughed, feeling happy and warm!
Just when Zhao Qingsong was in a wonderful dream, he suddenly heard a mournful cry: "Hey! Stop fucking sleeping! Get the fuck out of here!"
Zhao Qingsong stood up suddenly and looked at the sun. Good guy, this is just Shen Shi, ah - no, maybe it's not yet Shen Shi, it's not Shen Shi yet!
If you wake someone up so early, will you tire yourself out?
Fortunately, Zhao Qingsong had already predicted it. He recalled the dream just now in his leisure time. He couldn't help but shake his head and laughed bitterly. Dreaming is just dreaming, and any kind of messy dream can come true. He patted his head and shook his head. I yawned and then slowly got up!
After Zhao Qingsong washed up, finished eating, and put on his Feiyu suit, he saw someone else lying on the bed and snoring!
Captain Cao was so angry that he swung the stick around, and then he managed to get everyone to wake up!
When Captain Cao saw that everyone had arrived, he looked at the sun with two huge black eyes, blurred and distracted, and ordered in a hoarse and dejected tone: "Wei Baihu has an order, today is the last day, if If you haven’t finished the job yet, everyone will have to go to jail. You must show up a hundred times more energy today. You must finish this job. Do you understand me?”
All the royal guards responded feebly and in an extremely irregular manner: "Listen clearly!"
Zhao Qingsong was only slightly tired and could bear it completely, but naturally he couldn't stand out, so he agreed in a tone of voice that was about to fall asleep: "Listen clearly!"
Captain Cao shook his unconscious head, tried to keep his eyes open, and said helplessly: "Let's go!"
He no longer took the lead in running, but dejectedly led everyone to move forward quickly.
Zhao Qingsong saw that everyone looked like their parents were dead. He didn't even have the energy to curse Daoist Jia's relatives. He just wanted to raise his head and laugh!
It's a pity that he couldn't laugh, so he could only suppress his laughter, pretend to be swaying, and follow the team towards the Royal Garden!
When we arrived at the Imperial Garden, we saw that the huge stage was almost ready, but Taoist Master Jia had an anxious look on his face and kept speaking obscure incantations and Taoist terminology, directing the guards and The guards took down this stage and repaired it, repaired it and removed it!
