The Songping Temple under the night has lost the bustle of the pilgrims gathering in the daytime, and now it is the dead of night, except for the incense candles burning all night in a few halls, the surrounding bedrooms are completely dark.

"What time is it?" Qiao Wan asked Nanzhu softly.

"It's just past Yinshi."

After Nanzhu finished answering, Yin Sheng, who was peeking out from the window, said in a soft voice without waiting for Qiao Wan to ask: "There is no movement, it should be successful!"

Qiao Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

She made an agreement with Yuexiu that if things go well, Yuexiu and the others will hide in the city quietly and wait until dawn before leaving the city; if things fail, fireworks will be set off as an early warning, and then the three people on Qiao Wan's side must leave Songping Temple immediately. , to start the backup plan.

The window of the place where they live is facing the direction of Chongtai City. Of course, the city cannot be seen from here, but the fireworks used by Yuexiu to send signals are quite obvious. Once they are set off, they will not miss it.

This time, besides Yuexiu, one of Yuexiu's subordinates and Yin Sheng's two senior brothers went to Dingnan Palace to play tricks.They obtained a map of the palace from another insider who was lurking in the palace, with detailed outpost deployments marked on it.

There had been no assassins in Dingnan Palace for many years. The guards were not loose, but they were not too vigilant either. The places where King Dingnan was present would be more tightly guarded, and the rest of the places were routinely guarded.

This provided a great help for Yuexiu and the others to sneak in.The four of them are all good players, and there are two other insiders to support them. Theoretically, the success rate is not small.

But theories are just theories after all, and no one can guarantee what will happen in practice.

There were only four of them, and the guards in the palace were a hundred times larger than them. If they were discovered, they would be lucky to escape.

Qiao Wan worried about this all night.All the Taoist priests in the temple were asleep, she was afraid of being found out and she dared not light the lamp, so she sat in the dark with Yin Sheng and Nanzhu for several hours.

Yin Sheng closed the window and went back to Qiao Wan. Even though she only opened a small opening to observe the outside, it was quite cold inside the room even at night.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother and the others are very powerful, nothing can go wrong."

"Thank you senior brother for me. The situation is special this time, so I won't go to see them, and I will bring a good wine to visit your master's gate another day."

Qiao Wan wrapped the quilt tightly around her body. She must not catch a cold at this moment. If she was lecturing on the altar and pretending to be a fairy, and suddenly her nose drooped, the picture would be too beautiful to think about.

"It's okay. I've already told them that I'll go straight back to the mountain after I'm done, and don't come to see us. Master is still talking about you when I go back for Chinese New Year this time. If you can find time to visit his old man, he will be happy!"

Hearing Yin Sheng mention her master, Qiao Wan couldn't help but smile.

Among her helpers, Yuexiu lost to her because of a bet, brothers and sisters of the Yun family and Luan Yu because of her kindness to them, and only Yin Sheng's master helped her out of the righteousness of the world.

The old man was a chivalrous man when he was young, but he experienced too much helplessness in his middle age, so he lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests under frustration.Occasionally going out, meeting some lonely and poor children, they picked them up and became apprentices, the old and the young lived in a paradise-like life in the mountains, until Qiao Wan came to the door under Xiao Bai's guidance.

At that time, the old man was already 70 years old. Qiao Wan prepared a passionate speech in advance, telling the old man with great pride, and agreed to help on the spot.

However, he is getting older, and his body is not as good as before, so he had to send his young disciple Yin Sheng to follow her to practice and practice, promising that as long as it is for the country and the people, the rest of his disciples can also be sent by her.

These disciples were all raised by Master Yin Sheng, just like his children, the old man entrusted his children to her so trustingly, if anything happened, Qiao Wan would have no face to see him again.

Fortunately, everyone is safe tonight and the matter has been completed. So far, her plan this time has been more than half successful.

"Sister Wan, go to sleep for a while, I'll call you again at dawn." Yin Sheng's voice interrupted Qiao Wan's memory.

"I can't sleep." Qiao Wan shook her head and said, "It's only been half an hour. I'll be sleepier when I wake up now."

She is very familiar with her body habits, and she stayed here with Yin Sheng and Nanzhu tonight to prevent King Dingnan from suspecting them.After the gate of the city is closed at night, she and the master of the temple will talk about scriptures together. After a while, the Taoist priests in the temple will wake up. Afterwards, I could testify to her that none of the three of them left that night.

Qiao Wan told Nanzhu to light the lamp at four quarters of Yin time, and left the room at five quarters.

There are both main roads and Kun roads in Songping Temple, and the bedrooms of the two are far apart. As Qiao Wan and the three of them are women, the guest bedrooms are naturally divided into Kun Dao's side.

Outside, there were female Taoist priests who got up early in twos and threes, practicing kung fu under the tree, or reciting scriptures together, and some sat alone at the stone table holding copper coins and divination.

Qiao Wan met with some of them, wandered around and returned to the room. After a brief wash, she was ready to go to morning class.

She has been pretending to be a Taoist nun for a few days, and Nanzhu is watching every time Yuexiu helps her touch up her makeup. It has not been unloaded, it is not a big problem for Nanzhu to make up for her temporarily.

After finishing her makeup, Qiao Wan took Nanzhu and Yin Sheng Shi Shiran to attend the morning class with the Taoist priests of Songping Temple, and made a fortune teller for several pilgrims who came from afar.

At first, she relied on Yuexiu's information to get her reputation as a magician. She only picked out those who knew it, and she spoke in great detail, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

Fortunately, she can choose to be counted by others, Xiangu, if anyone asks for it, it would be a shame!

She doesn't look at anyone who comes to ask a doctor. She cheats people out of helplessness. If she still delays people's medical treatment, she has a conscience.

Among the remaining people, Qiao Wan picked some people who could be identified by their clothes and at a glance, and their expressions and demeanors obviously couldn't hide things.

This is the woman in front of her, Qiao Wan figured it out in a few words.Her husband is a businessman, and he is going to go shopping tomorrow, so she came to the temple to pray for his safety, and by the way, she wanted to ask Xiangu to make a fortune for her husband, to see if the trip would be dangerous.

"People from Dingnan Palace are here." Nanzhu whispered in Qiao Wan's ear.

Qiao Wan raised her eyelids and saw in the distance guards wearing Dingnan Palace uniforms stopping the passing Taoist priests to ask questions. Judging from the way they looked at her from time to time, they were obviously asking about her.

Qiao Wan glanced at it and then looked away.When they came, the old clothes and most of the salutes were stored in Yuexiu, and the makeup box used for touch-ups was always carried by Yuexiu. This night, only necessary ones were left for Nanzhu, and the amount was only a little Well, after Nanzhu mended Qiao Wan, he took the porcelain box and washed it, even if someone searched their room right now, they couldn't find anything.

She pretended not to know, and continued to divination to the woman.

After pretending to be a magic stick for so long, Qiao Wan's movement of drawing up the hexagrams is very impressive. In fact, the hexagram image itself is only one aspect, and what is more important is how to interpret it.

"Judging from the hexagrams, your husband's trip is a little dangerous. It's best to bring a few more servants for self-defense, and be careful on the road. There are two spells here on the poor road. The benefactor took one back and sewed it in the gentleman's underwear. Offer it at home, put three sticks of incense in the morning and evening, and recite the scriptures three times with sincerity, you can turn bad luck into good fortune."

Her words are full of water, and she must be careful when going out. As for the rest——

If the woman's husband had a safe trip, it was because of her spell; Sometimes her heart is not sincere, or her husband commits some taboos outside, it can't be blamed on her.

She asked Nanzhu to fetch the talisman to give to the woman, and called the next one.

After being so busy all morning, at noon, she had a vegetarian meal with Zhongkun Dao. Several female Taoist priests who had become acquainted with her during this period sat beside the three of them and whispered: "Fellow Daoist, there is a visit from the palace today." Someone came to inquire about your whereabouts last night, did you get into any trouble?"

Qiao Wan shook her head calmly, and said after a while: "I got up this morning and counted the arrival of guests, so it should be on them."

As soon as they heard her talking about divination, several younger Kun Dao surrounded them. They had long thought that this uncle who came from other places was exceptionally good at divination, and wanted to learn from her. It's normal for others not to want to spread the family skills, so I have to hang around and listen to the story.

"Uncle, have you figured out why they came here?"

"Uncle, I heard people say that the youngest son of Prince Dingnan is the reincarnation of King Xing, and that fate was given to you. Is it true or not?"

"I've seen that youngest son of King Dingnan before, why didn't I find it strange?"

"You didn't see that it's because your skills are not good enough! Uncle, please show me too."

To these little Taoist priests, this uncle is a stranger after all, and he usually behaves like a fairy, they are a little afraid of her, and now they see their teacher and speak first before they dare to come around and ask questions.

A few people were very active with each other. The Kun Dao who spoke to Qiao Wan first couldn't stand it any longer, and scolded them, and these little Taoist priests returned to their seats resentfully, but their ears were still there. Listening upright.

"The juniors have no rules, making fellow daoists laugh."

"It's okay, I'm so naive at the age of my nephews, my nature is like this, let it be." Qiao Wan's eyes were full of kindness when she said this, as if her age was really different from these little Taoist priests like.

The older Kun Dao was really taken aback by her appearance, he nodded repeatedly and said: "It's good to let nature take its course. It's me who is narrow-minded, or a fellow Taoist who has a deep understanding."

After dinner, they went back to their rooms.As usual, Yue Xiu often sneaked into Qiao Wan's room to hide when everyone was going to eat, and today Qiao Wan saw Yue Xiu appear in their room when she returned to her room.

"How's it going?" Yin Sheng jumped forward and pulled the moon sleeve and asked.

"Hey, let go, I'm a clean-spirited person." Yuexiu hid for a while, preventing Yin Sheng from catching her arm, and only grabbed her sleeve.

"You're the only one who keeps yourself clean?!"

Yin Sheng snorted and wanted to grab the moon sleeve, but Qiao Wan stopped her and said, "Stop making trouble, what's the matter?"

"You brought this stinky girl with you, and she looks more and more like you." Yue Xiu pulled out her sleeve, slapped Qiao Wan's chest and said, "I'll do things, don't worry, I'll do exactly as you said, without any mistakes .”

Last night's action was according to Qiao Wan's plan from the very beginning.

Xiaotang opened the door for Yuexiu and the others after Princess Dingnan fell asleep.Yuexiu smoked Princess Dingnan's nose with the incense, and after they had made the bloody handprints on the beam, they moved the princess to the corridor by the time of the incense.

The amount of Mixiang she ordered was not much, and the smell has dissipated after opening the door and opening the window during this period.After that, she hid in the corner of the yard, and the other three hid in the room.

The female ghost pretending to be hanged in the room was not really hanging by her neck. The white silk passed under his armpit, and the whole upper body was hung on the silk. It was covered by hair, and the light was dim, and the door was closed quickly. The frightened maidservants would not have noticed this detail with a hasty glance.

Then the Moon Sleeve came out, creating the illusion of the female ghost teleporting, and at the same time attracting everyone's attention, making it easier for the three people in the room to escape.At that time, everyone was terrified by the female ghost in front of them. They only knew that the door behind them had never been opened again, so they couldn't care less about other things.

As soon as the three of them ran away, Yuexiu also left immediately, and quickly left the palace according to the escape route planned in advance. By the time King Dingnan ordered the closure of the palace for search, they had already returned to the secret stronghold.

"As long as there is no problem, where are Yin Sheng's brothers?" Qiao Wan asked again after listening to Yue Xiu's report. Although she knew that she was probably all right if she didn't see the signal fireworks last night, but she just saw Yue Xiu with her own eyes at this moment. Hearing what Yuexiu had said last night, he was really relieved.

"I've all gone back. The three people who participated in the operation last night, plus me, are not in the city now. Even if King Dingnan wanted to search the city, it would be too late." Yuexiu said proudly.

Searching the city is not enough. Chongtai does not count the surrounding towns. There are only 10,000+ permanent residents in Guangcheng. Where can I find people with only a few bloody handprints?

Moreover, the bloody handprint can neither prove that it must be a ghost, nor can it prove that it must be a person. With the previous foreshadowing, King Dingnan will have two major suspicions. One is that she, Qiao Wan, is causing trouble, and the other is that Princess Dingnan made trouble out of jealousy.

Qiao Wan's three masters and apprentices were watching last night and had not entered the city, nor did they have any obvious motives, but the princess's motives were quite clear.

In this way, the suspicion of the princess has been greatly increased, but the whole room of the princess has indeed seen a "ghost". The ghost is true in their eyes, and no matter how they interrogate them, they will not find it fake.

King Dingnan will not completely change his views on ghosts and gods after this incident, but he will be shaken a little more.

More importantly, the princess will be completely disappointed in the face of her husband who has no trust in her. When her life is constantly threatened, she can only come to the fairy girl who can see through her house haunted at a glance for help.

"Go and tell the temple master in a while, I will start to practice in seclusion from tonight and I won't see any outsiders." Qiao Wan instructed Nanzhu.

Today is February 27th, two days before the news of disarmament reaches Dingnan King, the most critical moment has come.
