"You never went there again?" Hei Lu'er narrowed his eyes and looked at him suspiciously, "Are you such a well-behaved child? Why don't I believe it so much? Did you go there again later, but found nothing? ?”
"My young master is wise. As expected, I can't hide anything from my little master." Chu Ruo touched her chin in embarrassment, "I didn't see anything when I went this time, but I even made myself sick. I didn't do it unwillingly. It's not Is it normal? So, I plan to find a suitable opportunity to go again."
"I knew it." Hei Lu'er raised an eyebrow, "Have you waited?"
"The wait has really come true, but it's a pity that a good opportunity has been wasted."
"what happened?"
"I don't know either. There were so many people at Wangyue Cliff that day, more people than I've seen before. I don't know if it's because some important people are going there. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are all kinds of guards along the way."
"Guards of all kinds?" Hei Lu'er frowned slightly, thought for a while, and nodded, "I probably know that it is not the right day for you to go that day. It is rare for Prince Shu to return to Yiqing Mansion, and he wants to visit Wangyue Cliff. Because his two grandsons are about to become enlightened, they want to take advantage of Wenquxing’s blessings.”
"It turns out to be like this. No wonder they are all murderous. It turns out they are Prince Shu's guards." Chu Ruo shrugged, "They did go there because of their cultural interests, but this rare opportunity of mine was wasted. I really can't find him. It was a good opportunity to sneak away to the back mountain, and it was really lonely climbing the mountain."
"This is quite appropriate, but then there was no chance to run out?"
"Yeah, all kinds of bad things happened later, and I didn't have the chance to go and investigate."
"It should be a pity to hear your tone. But it doesn't matter, you still have a chance to make up for it." Hei Lu'er chuckled, "After Wanyan Qingmu and these people outside the city are dealt with, we will naturally let him You went along."
"I hope it can be solved quickly. Hey, I don't know when General Shen and the others will come."
"If we have to hold on for a while longer, they may choose some people to send Wanyanxi back, and there may even be guards from the Yelu family. First, they have to fight with Wanyan Qingmu and his gang, and then they can pretend to be fake. Ask Daxia and Liao for help, they will not come here until this time, so please be patient, by the end of this year, it should be almost over."
"Does it still have to be this far?" Chu Ruo sighed softly, "Should the supplies in the city still hold on?"
"Don't worry, there's no problem at all." Hei Lu'er sneered, "The one who can't hold on is Wanyan Qingmu."
"Speaking of this Wanyan Qingmu..." Chu Ruo looked at his masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction. He glanced sideways at Hei Lu'er and asked him if he had remembered everything. After seeing the other party's affirmative answer, He turned around and took the cup of cold tea from the table and poured it on the ground. "My subordinate suddenly remembered something that happened before the siege. To be precise, it should have happened three months before the siege."
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"It's like this. The family member who sent the child to the martial arts school that day said that he couldn't come to pick up the child because of something unexpected. He asked me to take the child back, and I agreed. There are many children in the martial arts school, and this happens occasionally. The situation. It just so happens that I can take the opportunity to go out for a walk and enjoy the fireworks in this market. "
"You are in a busy city and you don't have enough fireworks? Are you still thinking about how to create fireworks?"
"I just want to go around. This kid's home is right next to the martial arts school. When I come back, I can go see if the roast duck I've been thinking about for a long time doesn't have such a long queue and I can buy it. Come back and try one." Speaking of this, Chu Ran was very excited, "Little Master, you know that Wuji Roast Duck. I heard that the boss is of Xia, Liao, and Jin blood, and he looks very much like a Jin man. , but the food they make has a great taste of Daxia. I have been coming here for so many years, and I really want to try it."
"The taste of that restaurant is indeed good, but it's a pity that his family was the first one to escape from Yiqing Mansion." Hei Lu'er shook his head, "Forget about the food, you just said that the child you sent to their family It's the same as your martial arts school, right?" Seeing Chu Ran nod, he continued, "In other words, his home is near the palace, right?"
"My little master is wise." Chu Ruo nodded slightly, got up from the ground, and went to boil a pot of water. "I don't know if my luck is really good. I sent the child home safely and prepared to come back. When passing the palace, I suddenly saw Wanyan Qingmu and his henchmen sneaking out of an inconspicuous corner door on the east side of the palace. In fact, if they hadn't sat and looked to the right, I would have thought they were like Like thieves, I really didn’t notice their existence.”
"The corner door on the east side..." Hei Lu'er thought quickly, "That door has been blocked for a long time. How did they get out?"
"This is a very strange point." Chu Ruo spread his hands, "My subordinates have been in Yiqing Mansion for many years. Naturally, I know that the place has been sealed off for a long time. Therefore, I was quite surprised to see the two of them coming out, so , and waited until the two of them had gone far away and would not come back again, then they quietly approached. Little master, you also know that the corner gate on the east side is relatively quiet, with fewer people, horses, and cars, and there are also very few people patrolling. It's going this way. So, this gave me a chance. I went over and took a look, and I realized that they had removed the sealed part."
"Demolish?" Hei Lu'er frowned slightly and recalled that the so-called secret passage should be closer to the east corner door. He sighed softly, "So that's it. They actually hit it. This idea."
"Little master, what do you mean? What kind of idea did Wanyan Qingmu have? Did he do something stupid again?"
"It's not necessarily a stupid thing!" Hei Lu'er glanced at Chu Ruo, "Is there anything strange on the ground near the East Point Gate that makes you feel strange?"
"The ground?" Chu Ruo tilted her head and thought carefully, "I don't remember very clearly. My attention was shifted to Wanyan Qingmu and his confidants at the time. I didn't feel anything special. Is there anything strange about it? Don't worry, let me think about it."
"There's no rush, just think about it slowly." Hei Lu'er's face darkened again, "I'm afraid my aunt is not the only one with the ghosts in this palace. It seems like we really need to clean it up!"
