Chapter 32 Chapter 2 Sword Seventeen

The lotus flowers in the pond under the moon have all withered, and the withered plants hang down on the lotus stalks, looking a bit depressed. "What the hell kind of place is this?" Yu Ran cocked her mouth. "Don't be so loud!" Ji Ye pressed her head down, "I don't know if anyone is still patrolling. This is Hualan Garden. The water in this pool is connected to the Phoenix Pond. It's beautiful in summer, but now the lotus is gone. Wait for me to go to the shore to pick a lotus pod for you to eat, and the lotus pod is the best one month before the frost."

"Have you eaten a lot?" "I eat half of this pool every year," Ji Ye shrugged, "No one picks it anyway." "Food! Every time you come to share our dates, even if there are lotus pods, you don't know how to bring them out for us to taste!" Yu Ran grabbed his ear, but Ji Ye dodged it. "Why is it so easy to take out? When I change to a larger leather armor next time, maybe I can hide a few in the breastplate." "I don't want it! It smells like your sweat, so I can't eat it. Then you and Asule will be separated." "I've eaten it before." Lu Guichen poked his head in the grass beside him.

"Have you eaten too?" "Didn't Ji Ye just say that he ate half of it?" Lu Guichen whispered, "I ate the other half..." "Oh, I'm so bored, we don't have to be so sneaky, we haven't seen a single person passing by for a long time." Yu Ran finally couldn't help poking his head out from the shadow under the bridge, "This is really the Eastern Palace. ?” "The Eastern Palace looks like this," Lu Guichen said with a bitter face, "What do you think the Eastern Palace looks like?" "I heard from you, of course I thought it was a place covered with golden gauze, clouds and mist in the palace, fragrance everywhere, and groups of beautiful court ladies! If I said earlier that this place is so remote, why don't I go to the Phoenix Pond? Shrimp fishing!"

"Young Master Yu's palace is a bit similar to what you said, but the outside is different. I heard from Master Lu that this was originally the ancestral property of the Lord Baili's family. The thatched hut and the mausoleum where the ancestors studied are all here. That's why the East Palace was built in this place, so that the prince can protect the ancestral property. There are allusions in many places, so it can't be repaired easily." Lu Guichen said. "Then I'm going to visit Young Master Yu's bedroom!" "This..." Lu Guichen felt embarrassed.

"It's okay, I'll go to the arsenal to steal two pieces of armor from the imperial army in a while, and when Master Yu falls asleep, we'll peek through the gap in the wall of your garden, it's okay," Ji Ye waved his hand, "I'll go pick them up first. Two lotus pods!" He ducked out, looked around vigilantly, and walked up the arch bridge lightly.He knew that it was easiest to pick lotus pods in the shallow water across the bridge. When he reached the top of the bridge, he froze suddenly. He suddenly leaned down, breaking out in a cold sweat.There was a man standing quietly at the bridge head, the whites of his eyes reflected the light under the moonlight, he looked like a wild beast.Ji Ye was thinking that he couldn't hide, but the man turned around silently and left.

Lu Guichen led Yu Ran to catch up from behind: "What's wrong?" Ji Ye hesitated for a while: "It was Youyin just now!" "That dead face?" Yu Ran was stunned. "He..." Lu Guichen suddenly pointed forward, "He hasn't left yet!" The three of them looked over together, and there were still those white spots under the tree, the whites of the eyes reflecting the moonlight.The strange look in their eyes made them all feel cold.After a moment of silence, he turned around and walked away. "Is he going to denounce us?" "That appearance must be sleepwalking!" Yu Ran pursed her lips.

"It's a bit strange, let's go and have a look." Ji Ye said. Following their faint footsteps, the three of them crossed the Meilan Palace, Guanghan Palace and Yunying Garden, and finally stopped in front of the long-abandoned Lubai Palace.You Yin slowly opened the door, and stepped into the Lubai Hall, which was quiet and deserted. When Ji Ye and the others followed up, You Yin was no longer there.On the ground of the main hall, the iron gate hidden under the masonry was opened, and the exit leading to the underground was exposed. A stub of candle was left at the exit, and the flame was faintly floating.

"He asked us to follow?" Lu Guichen picked up the candle. "What is this place?" Yu Ran poked his head to look inside. "I haven't heard of it before, but there are tunnels underground in the palace. Otherwise, if something happens suddenly, you won't be able to escape." Ji Ye said. Yu Ran's curiosity arose: "Anyway? Go ahead and have a look, Ji Ye, do you have a gun?" Himeno showed his canine teeth. "Then don't be afraid of him, why are you still afraid of him alone? Let's see what tricks this kid can pull off!" Yu Ran snatched the candle from Lu Guichen's hand, "I'll go first!"

Lu Guichen held her back: "This doesn't look like a tunnel, it's like... a tomb passage." "Ah!" Yu Ran's eyes widened, and he shook Ji Ye's arm, "Did you read it right just now? Is that really You Yin? Isn't it a living corpse?" Ji Ye nodded affirmatively: "I can't see his face wrong." "But he looks no different from a jumping corpse." Yu Ran stuck out her tongue, feeling the wall of the corridor and poking inside. "Where are you going, Yuran?" Lu Guichen went up to grab her, but he was pulled back by Yuran and dragged inside.Ji Ye was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed.

"Go in and have a look, isn't it said that rich people in Donglu will bury a lot of valuable things in their tombs when they die?" "You are..." Lu Guichen stammered, "You want to rob a tomb?" "Hush——" Yu Ran glared at him, and raised a finger on his lips, "Keep your voice down, if there is something, everyone is three one thirty one." "What is three one thirty one?" "It's the average spoils." The woman tied up her loose hair on top of her head, and tied the roots of her hair with a silver band.She looked at her own face in the bronze mirror, calm and dazed.She washed off the rouge and powder makeup with water, leaving only a clean face, and the towering hairstyle of the spiral bun was changed to a straight hair, which made her face look a little smaller, making her look younger , just like in Yasong fourteen years ago.

She touched her face lightly, she didn't know if it was hallucination or time going back, all these years she always felt in her heart that she was actually very old and was about to be buried by the dust of Nanhuai City.But now that he has restored his old appearance, he is amazed at the youth he still retains. She stood up and tucked the silver knife on the table into the belt of her black tunic.The elegant and elegant palace dress was left in the corner, and her soft armor that clings to her body without leaving any gaps outlines her figure, with a touch of enchantment, but she is as nimble as a cheetah.She finally looked around the room she had lived in for more than ten years, opened the window suddenly, and breathed in the air under the moonlit night. The air flowed in, like cold water rising from the throat, washing away all the dust. She jumped out of the window. Free at last! She opened her arms and looked up at the starry sky!
