Chapter 236 Chapter 6 Difficult to move an inch

Xiang Shaolong opened his eyes, but it was still pitch black, he couldn't distinguish day from night, his mind was groggy, and he wanted to continue to sleep. He was awakened by the sound of others talking, and he was startled at first, thinking that someone was hunting him.When he saw that there was no abnormality in the tunnel, and the sound only came from a corner of the secret room, it suddenly dawned on him that the sound came from the copper pipe.The copper pipe can monitor the movement of the secret room, and the sound above can be transmitted through the copper pipe. Xiang Shaolong lit the few remaining torches, and then lit one of the oil lamps. The copper tube caught the eye, it was installed on the side of the entrance, shining brightly.

Xiang Shaolong raised his spirits, carefully moved to the side of the brass pipe, and put his ear on it, the cold feeling and human voice came into his ear at the same time. Only a male voice said with a lewd smile: "Your figure is getting plump, no wonder the king looked at you intently last night." A woman's voice said disobediently: "If you give the family to the king, my lord, I would rather kill myself." Xiang Shaolong exclaimed in his heart, this woman understands men's psychology deeply, even if she knows and accepts that her master wants to give herself to someone else, she still has to act unwillingly.Sure enough, there was a lingering sound of kissing from the room above.

The woman said coquettishly: "Don't you have to go to the dinner party? You want to tease people at this moment." Xiang Shaolong was shocked when he heard this. If it was the time for the dinner party, wouldn't it be that I slept in the middle of the night for a whole day, at least ten hours or twenty hours? How could I be so sleepy?For a while, he forgot to listen to the conversation between the men and women above, thinking hard on himself.Xuanji woke up, knowing that although the tunnel had vents, the air was still not circulating. If he hadn't been awakened, he might have died in a dream due to lack of oxygen.

Suddenly hearing the word "Xiang Shaolong" came to his ears, he was busy and listened attentively. The gentleman said: "Now the city is full of wind and rain, and Xiang Shaolong canceled all the big and small banquets. The king has ordered that anyone who harbors Xiang Shaolong or does not report the knowledge will have his family ransacked and his family wiped out. Ha, there is no dead body like Xiang Shaolong. Shaolong is even more valuable, and the corpse can be rewarded with five hundred gold, and everyone is so tired that they are looking for this guy." The woman said: "My family sees that he has already left the city, otherwise why the whole girder has been turned upside down, and he still can't find half a hair on him?" She sighed again: "This man is really powerful, come whenever you want, come if you want Go and go, no one can help him."

The gentleman accompanied her with a sigh and said: "He left easily, but he was exhausted to the death of Mr. Fan. If Xiang Shaolong cannot be caught this time, all the blame falls on him, the city guard. He just came here just now Ask me to intercede with the king. Now that the king is angry, I won't be so stupid as to get into trouble for him." Xuan said again: "Xiang Shaolong came at a really bad time. I was tired and missed Feng Fei's wonderful performance. Tomorrow she will go to Qi country, when will she come back? I will definitely see her off tomorrow." Only then did Xiang Shaolong realize that Feng Fei, the head of the three famous concubines, was standing in Daliang, his heart moved, and he didn't want to listen anymore, he left the treasure house, slipped out of the tunnel, and hid in the forest in the back house, so he could breathe some fresh air.

Sure enough, it was sunset outside, and it was still snowing lightly. After inhaling a lot of fresh air, Xiang Shaolong's mind became flexible and he thought carefully.At present, the only safe place in Daliang is this tunnel, but if someone finds out again, they will never get out. Lord Longyang obviously hasn't disclosed the matter of seeing him, otherwise the Lord would not have mentioned it just now.But even so, it still didn't help him. He thought of Feng Fei again. If this beautiful woman with a unique style is willing to help, maybe she can take him out of the city.But since they only met once and their friendship is shallow, will she risk her life to save him?

The worst headache was that he had no idea where she lived.Even if he knew, it would not be easy to steal into her boudoir.Thinking about it for a moment, my heart was in a mess, and suddenly there was a dog barking from the backyard. Xiang Shaolong was startled, and hurried back to the tunnel, deduced the situation of the house above from memory, broke through one of the exits, and came to the garden in the middle of a courtyard. Only the front hall of this courtyard house was lit, and the east, west, and rear compartments were all dark. Xiang Shaolong reckoned that the vicious dogs patrolling the house were still locked in the backyard and hadn't been released, so he moved around with peace of mind.

Relying on the hook and his agility, he crossed several houses in one breath, avoided a few servants, went to the dining room first and took a pot of hot tea while no one was stealing enough food. Only then did he sneak back into the tunnel, and after healed his stomach, his fighting spirit returned to high. No matter the tunnel or the bridge, it is not suitable to stay for a long time, but the problem is that he still can't think of a way to leave safely. When the people of Wei searched for him inside and outside the city but failed, they would definitely guess that he was hiding in a hidden place.

The Wei Dynasty had no shortage of intelligent people, and Lord Longyang himself was a very shrewd person. Sooner or later he would think of this former residence of Lord Xinling where Xiang Shaolong once stayed, and that there would be an undiscovered tunnel under the house. .Occasionally sneaking out to steal a half meal or snacks to satisfy one's hunger, there should be no problem, but if it goes on like this, it will definitely arouse suspicion. With these two concerns, he made a decision that he must leave Daliang within two days, otherwise he might never have to leave. After confirming that there was no one in the bedroom on the treasury, he sneaked up again, opened the box, and took a set of warm cloak and thick robe. Just as he was about to leave, footsteps came from outside the room, followed by someone sitting in the hall. The sound of talking and laughing.

Xiang Shaolong's heart moved, he moved to the door, opened it a little, and pushed it out through the gap. I can't help but be surprised to see it. There were three people sitting outside, and there were nearly ten people who seemed to be followers, all of them showed nervous expressions. One of them was Lord Longyang.His face was pale, and suddenly he looked as if he had aged a few years, his body and spirit were haggard, and he was no longer as "delicate and charming" as before. The other two were a general in military uniform, and a middle-aged man dressed as a doctor.

The general was the first to speak and said: "We came to find Mr. Pingqiu today to hunt down Xiang Shaolong." Xiang Shaolong felt a chill in his heart, knowing that Mr. Longyang had already guessed that he was hiding here. Jun Pingqiu was surprised and said: "General Fan is looking for Xiang Shaolong, why did he find here?" As soon as he opened his mouth, Xiang Shaolong recognized him as the man who was messing around with concubine Ji in the bedroom earlier.They didn't meet in the hall, but avoided going into the inner hall, needless to say, they were afraid of leaking the news, so if they inferred that they were hiding in the tunnel. It can be imagined that General Fan, the guard of Daliang City, must have sent people to surround the entire Xinling Lord's Mansion. But he was still not too worried, because the authentic exit was in the dense forest of the back mountain, far away from Lord Xinling's mansion, so it would not be easy to be discovered. Lord Longyang sighed and said: "General Fan dares to guarantee with his head that Xiang Shaolong has not left the city. If he is still hiding in the city, then he is most likely hiding here." Xiang Shaolong heard him speak in a dazed manner, knowing that he was tortured because he wanted to arrest his "old friend", he couldn't help but sigh with him in his heart. Mr. Pingqiu changed his face and said: "It's impossible. I have asked someone to search every inch of the mansion. If he is here, he will never be able to hide it from us, let alone the dog's sensitive nose." General Fan said: "We have asked Lord Xinling's former subordinates, and they confirmed that Xiang Shaolong must have escaped from here through a tunnel or something, but no one knows where the tunnel's entrance and exit are." Lord Longyang said, "Mr. Pingqiu, you can ask everyone in the mansion to see if there is any sudden loss of food and clothes, and then you can know whether Xiang Shaolong is hiding under the tunnel." Xiang Shaolong screamed loudly, how could he dare to eavesdrop any longer, hurriedly retreated to the entrance, closed the lid, pulled the original straw mat to cover it, went back to the tunnel, and then slipped out through the exit of the back mountain without hesitation. In the vast snowy night, Wei Bing lit torches and surrounded Lord Xinling's mansion tightly. Fortunately, the exit was just outside the tight encirclement, otherwise it would be difficult to fly even with wings. But he is not out of danger, but just in danger.A group of Wei soldiers were rushing towards his hiding place. The light of torches and the sound of dogs barking made one's heart tremble. Xiang Shaolong tied the stolen clothes into a big bag, hung it on his back, followed the old path that he took Zhao Qian to, and sneaked towards the neighboring houses. As I walked and watched, I couldn't help crying secretly. It turned out that Wei Bing set up checkpoints in all the nearby streets, and the worst thing was that sentries were set up on the roofs to monitor the situation in the streets near the former residence of Mr. Xinling. Xiang Shaolong felt helpless that he couldn't move an inch, so he lay down in the grass beside the road, but he soon realized that this was not a safe solution. A team of more than 50 Wei soldiers were coming along the street, thrusting their spears into the grass, and conducting a thorough search like mercury pouring into the ground. Xiang Shaolong had no choice but to take advantage of the light of the fire, he crawled across the street and climbed to the eaves of a house opposite.Since this house is shorter than the nearby houses, there are no enemies on guard. After Wei Bing passed, when he was hesitating whether to hide in the house, there was a sound of horseshoes. A gorgeous carriage came from the side where Wei Bing went away, escorted by cavalry at the front and back. Xiang Shaolong observed the situation, fell back to the ground, dodged to a big tree beside the road, and quickly climbed to the thick trunk where one of its branches stretched out across the road, his hands and feet were tightly entangled with the icy tree body. If it wasn't snowing heavily now, he would never dare to take this risk. This can be said to be a gamble. As long as one of the dozen or so guards looked up, he was guaranteed to be found.But when the heavy snow fell on the face, everyone would just look down at the road. When his heart was pounding at the top of his throat, the carriage came down below. Xiang Shaolong first unloaded the burden on his back, and lightly threw it on the roof of the carriage that was just a little bit below, then let go of his feet, put his toes on the burden, and then let go of his hands and fell down. Because of the burden, he stepped on the roof of the car silently, and then bent down, completing this move that is almost impossible to complete under normal circumstances. The carriage drove slowly in the ancient capital, which had become a snow-white world, heading for a certain destination. He had no idea where the carriage would take him, but he knew that he had temporarily left the dangerous place.When passing through a checkpoint, Wei Bing not only did not ask questions, but also saluted solemnly and let the carriage pass. The identity of the person in the car must be very important, otherwise how could he receive such preferential treatment.Now even he really wants to know what dignitaries are sitting inside. There seemed to be a sigh in the carriage. Out of curiosity, Xiang Shaolong stuck his ears to the roof of the car, but the frozen snow made him give up this practice immediately.Instead, he propped up his body a little and looked out. When I saw it, my eyes were dumbfounded. Oh my God!It turned out that the carriage was turning into the royal road and heading for the main gate of the palace. Surrounded by the guards, the carriage crossed the moat from the lowered suspension bridge and entered the gate of the main palace. In this era, the royal palace is like an inner city regardless of its size and facilities.For the king, he has exhausted his mind and invested a lot of manpower and material resources to make the palace a super military stronghold in all aspects, a castle within a castle.This is not only to prevent attacks from foreign enemies, but more importantly, to prevent internal enemies from rebelling. Xiang Shaolong came to the Wangcheng Mansion this time in a daze, and he would have a headache if he wanted to leave. He entered the palace gate in surprise and joy, still laying motionless on the car, letting the snow cover him, if not for this, he would have nowhere to hide when the defenders on the city wall or watchtower looked down on him. But that's what worries him the most. Such heavy snow doesn't happen very often, and if he wants to repeat the old trick to leave the palace in the future, it will definitely not work. He hid under the snow, with his head and face stuck to the flattened bundle, and that was the only place that was slightly warm right now.Although the eyes cannot see, the ears can still hear the sound. Amidst the sound of wheels and horseshoes, he felt that the car was turning left and right in the palace, and it should be heading towards the inner palace. The carriage finally came to a stop, the guards got off their horses one after another, footsteps sounded all around, and the servant Gong'e shouted in unison: "Queen Wanan!" Xiang Shaolong almost exclaimed, he couldn't help but tilt his head slightly, and peeked down. The door was pulled open. As the heavy snow fell, Shan Meimei's familiar moving back, dressed in gorgeous robes and a phoenix crown, appeared in front of his eyes like a dream. The servant held up the umbrella with one hand and bent his elbow with the other, letting her support him, and slowly walked up the steps of a palace, surrounded by more than a dozen palace servants, and guards stood on both sides.With that kind of style, people can't imagine that she was just a prostitute who was picked by the rich and powerful in Xianyang. Xiang Shaolong stared blankly at her back disappearing on the steps, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.Even if he knew that Shan Meimei would not betray him, it would be difficult for him to get in touch with this beauty who is now a queen.It's too dangerous, and maybe Shan Meimei will betray him like Lord Longyang. The whip is raised. Xiang Shaolong continued this free journey. Needless to say, the carriages are all heading towards the stables. At that time, the four healthy horses in the trailer will be untied into the stables, and the carriage will be sent to the warehouse, where the ice and snow will be washed immediately. If you don't get out before then, you will be exposed. Xiang Shaolong had no time to get out of the carriage, and the carriage came to a road lined with big trees on both sides.Xiang Shaolong called God to help me in secret, squatted up carefully, and wrapped the burden. While the driver was fully focused on the front, he stood up. When the ice and snow on his body fell like sand and stones, he reached out and grabbed a tree trunk protruding horizontally, leaving the car that not only took him out of a dangerous situation, but also sent him into another dangerous situation.
