Chapter 650 Puyuan
Liu Ji showed a look of surprise and regret, and asked when he could meet the national master, what kind of person the national master was, and so on, as if he admired his idol very much.
The young men beside Lu Xiaofeng started chatting with him, from the mysterious methods of the national master to the philosophy of life, and from the philosophy of life to secret gossip.
I just felt that Liu Ji would give a positive response to whatever you said to him, and it was so comfortable to chat with him.
When Qin Yao bypassed the guards in front of the gate of the national master's mansion and touched the narrow alley where no one was, Lu Xiaofeng and others had already set up an altar to prepare to become half-brothers with Liu Ji.
In order to prevent the national master from being disturbed while praying in seclusion, the emperor sent a team of palace guards to the national master's mansion to guard it, so as to prevent the prayer from being disrupted.
Qin Yao just felt strange. She had not lived in Shengguo for a long time, but whose good people prayed in the national master's mansion?
Don't they have to build a place like the Temple of Heaven or the Prayer Hall to make it look solemn?
And they added so many palace guards, it doesn't seem like they are trying to prevent the prayer from being interrupted, but rather they are afraid that the Imperial Master will be killed.
It's really strange that a house is so well guarded.
Qin Yao couldn't help but think of the house search scene she saw yesterday morning. The princess seemed to be concerned about whether the assassin who assassinated the prince was caught.
Bai He replied, is it true that he was caught?
Looking at the imperial guards in the Imperial Master's Mansion, why does Qin Yao not believe it?
And the person hiding under her bed at the Yunlai Inn that night didn't look like a martial arts master, at most an ordinary person with more flexible skills.
If such a person can be sent out as an assassin, it is simply a shame for the industry.
Then who is the assassin that Bai He caught?
Who wants to kill the Eastern Palace Prince?
It seems that everyone is pointing the finger at the princess, but Qin Yao feels that if she were the princess, she would not do such a thing that would easily expose herself during such a fierce period of conflict between the two sides.
Another thing is that Qin Yao still remembers Gong Liangliao's kind warning in Liujia Village. After all, they are a family with the surname Baili, and outsiders who get involved will be the most unlucky.
Therefore, the possibility of a brother-sister killing is not high.
In this case, what kind of assassin did Bai He and his men catch? What kind of blessing did the Imperial Master pray for in this mansion?
Are these imperial guards at the door here to protect the Imperial Master or to guard against someone?
Qin Yao never troubles herself, let her see what secrets are in this Imperial Master's mansion!
Listening carefully to the sounds around her, she heard footsteps going away from the wall. She immediately jumped up and landed on the high wall silently like a cat, crouching down and motionless.
There are so many guards in this Imperial Master's mansion. Not only are there people guarding the front and back doors, but guards are also arranged in the courtyard to patrol back and forth.
Maybe they think there is nothing to guard against during the day, and the serious atmosphere reveals a bit of laziness of working people slacking off.
The Imperial Master's Mansion covers a very large area, with rows of houses and seven or eight independent courtyards, distributed in the east, west and north.
In addition to the many houses, there are also many attics, pavilions and artificial landscapes. There are ponds and springs in the house. What's more exaggerated is that there is an artificial lake at home, and you can also cruise in the lake!
Qin Yao just took a quick look and felt like she had evaded a ticket to enter a 5A garden scenic spot.
Looking at the maids and servants who were busy coming and going in the mansion, Qin Yao couldn't help but feel gloomy for a moment-I'm going to fight with you rich people!
Taking a deep breath, looking at the blue sky, and the ordinary people who were busy running around in the streets in the distance for survival, the darkness in my heart was finally suppressed.
The house was too big, and Qin Yao squatted for a long time without determining the direction of exploration. She simply hid from the working guards in the Imperial Master's Mansion and admired all the scenery in the Imperial Master's Mansion along the way.
At noon, the sun was big, so she came down from the wall and hid in a dark corner.
When I met the pretty maids passing by with delicious offerings, I took a piece of the offering cake to eat.
After eating until my throat was dry, I took another fragrant pear. Admiring the golden peacock in the "zoo" in the backyard of the Imperial Master's Mansion, I lifted the annoying hair on my forehead that was blown by the green wind, and secretly sighed that it turned out that being invincible was so lonely.
Footsteps suddenly came from the corridor behind the viewing wall.
Qin Yao, who was watching the golden peacock across the street slowly spreading its tail towards her, hurriedly retreated from the shade of the tree to the foot of the wall.
Two maids came over.
One said, "Alas, Mr. Wang didn't eat breakfast either. What should we do if this continues?"
Another said worriedly, "If the Imperial Master blames us, we'll be dead."
The one just now said, "Send the lunch first. This is the eighth cook. I hope it suits Mr. Wang's taste."
The other one was very upset and complained in a low voice, "I hope so. I don't know what's so good about this country food. Mr. Wang doesn't want all the good food in Beijing. He must like this."
A team of lazy guards patrolled by.
"Hush, stop talking."
The two maids quickly shut their mouths, brushed past the guards, and headed towards a quiet courtyard in front.
From the 'Zoo', through a corridor and two moon gates, a courtyard called "Puyuan" appeared in front of them.
The two maids were carrying food boxes. As they approached the courtyard, two guards in black clothes appeared from nowhere on the left and right and stopped them.
"Lv Wei." The two maids nodded to the guard on the left.
Qin Yao hid outside the Moon Gate and found that the guard named Lu Wei looked familiar. Looking at the dark soft armor that she had seen three times, a face suddenly flashed in her mind.
It was the black cavalryman with a sword who was hit on the hand by her with marbles in Liujia Village.
So his surname is Lu.
But this is not the point. The point is that she has probably found the old man Gong Liangliao.
According to Lu Liang's instructions, the two maids opened the food box for them to check. Lu Liang confirmed that there was only food in the food box and no other prohibited items, so he opened the door and let the two people in.
Leaving one person to continue guarding the door, Lu Liang personally led the two maids into the courtyard.
Not only was there the open black cavalry guard at the door, but there were also three internal strength masters hiding in the dark. Surrounding Puyuan, there were also two teams of guards from the National Master's Mansion patrolling crosswise.
Qin Yao had no way to follow in, so she could only continue to hide in the corner of the Moon Gate.
Fortunately, the courtyard door was not closed after it was opened, and she could still peek into a corner of the courtyard through the crack in the door.
Qin Yao was surprised to find that the furnishings in Puyuan were exactly the same as those in the front yard of Lianyuan, including the lotus pond built by Qi Xianguan himself, the vegetable garden and flowerbed bonsai planted by Gong Liangliao himself, and various facilities for the disabled.
But even with the same furnishings, this replica of Lianyuan gave people a very depressing feeling because of the completely different surrounding environment.
The national teacher actually went to great lengths to build a replica of Lianyuan for Gong Liangliao, and Qin Yao didn't know whether to say he was good or bad.
But she was sure that Gong Liangliao was in it.
