Wait a minute, heroine

With the renovation of Dyefang Street, merchants and clerks came to the street, and the buildings behind it were naturally no longer idle. There were more and more lights in the previously deserted block.

Luo Ning led the horse through Dyefang Street and looked around at the changes around her. Niao Niao stood on the horse's head, staring at the snacks in Luo Ning's hand, saying "Cuckoo, jijiji~" from time to time.

When she reached the entrance of Shuanggui Alley, Luo Ning raised her hand to signal silence and let the birds watch the horses. She walked into the alley quietly, looking like a young mother who secretly checks on her daughter after coming back from get off work at night. have to.

When Luo Ning arrived at Nanxiao Mountain, Yunli was still a little girl of three or four years old. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has grown up by watching her, and she understands Yunli's character very well.

According to Luo Ning's speculation, Yunli must have gone crazy after being out for so long. At this point, she was either not at home or frantically copying books and making up for homework.

But when she was almost at the door of her house, Luo Ning unexpectedly discovered that there was a conversation in the yard:

"No, I can't help copy books..."

"There is a restaurant in Longyin Building, and the chef there is known as the 'Cooking Fairy'. His vinegar-cooked fish is one of the best in the capital. You can copy ten of them for me, and I will take you to eat later..."

"I have money, I will eat it myself later."

"Hey? You...remember to bring me one too..."

…

? ?

When Luo Ning heard Ping'er's voice, her steps suddenly stopped. The original comfort of returning to her small home was gone, and turned into panic when Hongxing went out of the wall and was found by her husband.

She originally wanted to turn around and run away, but if Pingtian Cult Master was here, she would have been discovered as soon as she reached the entrance of the alley. Now turning around and running away was obviously to cover up the situation.

After Luo Ning panicked for a moment, she quickly suppressed her thoughts and acted calmly. She walked outside the courtyard wall with small steps and stood on tiptoes to take a look.

The yard was still clean and tidy, the west wing where Ye Jingtang lived was closed, while the lights in the main room and kitchen were on.

Ping'er stood in the kitchen, with a look of trouble on her familiar little round face, and was washing the dishes carefully.

Xiao Yunli, who was dressed as a scholarly lady, moved out the small table and bench and sat under the eaves of the main room, holding her cheek with one hand, copying books listlessly, and still trying to induce Ping'er to help copy the books.

Luo Ning looked carefully and found no trace of Pingtian Cult Leader in the courtyard, so she flew over the wall with immortal energy and landed in the courtyard.

Phew~

From the corner of his eye, Zhe Yunli saw a man in green clothes emerging from the wall. He was so startled that he quickly straightened his back and pretended to be copying books seriously, and then he said in surprise:

"Master's wife, you are back!"

Ping'er, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, was also full of surprise. She quickly wiped her hands and ran out, bowing:

"Meet Madam."

Mrs. Luo Ning, the leader of the church, was very energetic. Her eyes signaled Yunli to copy the book honestly, then she took Ping'er to the outside of the yard and asked:

"Why are you here? Where is the leader?"

"The leader didn't come, so he asked me to come over and send a message..."

Ping'er told the leader's instructions in a polite manner, and then said:

"There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the capital. It is too risky for Madam to stay here alone. In my opinion, Madam should go back..."

Luo Ning felt relieved when she saw that Pingtian Cult Leader had not come over. As for going back, she would certainly not be unhappy:

"I already have a way to enter the palace. I only need to wait patiently for another year and a half before I can complete the leader's arrangements. Just go back and let the leader wait for the good news."

Ping'er shook her head quickly: "The leader said that if Madam doesn't go back, I will stay here and take care of her food and daily life. Also, if she has any connections and any current progress, she must report to the leader to avoid things going wrong in the future. The leader is still confused as to how to rescue him."

"..."

Luo Ning was naturally a little unhappy when she heard the housekeeper's words.

But as the wife of the leader, it was indeed unjustifiable for her to delay returning home from a business trip and not report on the progress of her work.

Ping'er was not her maid, but Xue Baijin's follower. If she found out that she was not doing anything at all, she would definitely report it to Xue Baijin.

Luo Ning thought about this for a long time and finally reported on her work in the capital in the past few months:

"After I came to the capital at the beginning of the year, in order to save Qiu Tianhe, I developed a cult and joined the black government office as an errand. When Qiu Tianhe was released as a free man, I was the one who planned it..."

Ping'er nodded and said: "When the leader saw that Hero Qiu was released, he knew that Madam was indeed doing her best and was being helped by capable people. Since this person is already a member of our Pingtian Sect, the leader must know his identity both emotionally and rationally. In order to avoid encountering each other in the future, but not knowing that it was one of our own who caused the accident..."

"..."

Luo Ning didn't want to say it, but what Ping'er said was also true. She had developed a secret plot on her own, but refused to tell Xue Baijin's identity. That meant she was planning to start her own business for personal gain.

And if the person she trained didn't have the ability to sneak into the palace, Xue Baijin would definitely have to ask her to go back to Nanxiao Mountain. If she didn't leave, she might come over on her own.

Luo Ning hesitated for a moment, then leaned into Ping'er's ear and whispered softly:

"This person's surname is Ye, and his name is Jingtang. He is the incense owner I developed in the past two months..."

Night Terror Hall? !

When Ping'er heard this name, Xiao Yuan's face was filled with disbelief. After all, she had only seen Ye Da Xia's peerless grace at Junshan Terrace a few days ago.

Ye Da Xia turned out to be...

How can this be!

Ping'er didn't believe it: "He is one of ours, Ye Daxia? He is a contemporary swordsman and such a powerful hero. How could Madam take him as her own..."

Luo Ning couldn't explain the beauty trap she used, so she made it up:

"Yejingtang just came to the capital in April. Although his understanding is unprecedented, he was just a wild boy who had never seen the world before. I led him and taught him many martial arts concepts. He had no money, but I also let him live in the capital. After settling here, he has achieved his current achievements in a short period of time, and he regards me as... um... as both a teacher and a friend, and as a senior."

Ping'er was still dubious: "Even so, now that Ye Daxia has become a military leader, he will definitely be reused by the Wei Dynasty. He has all the fame and wealth, how can he follow us to restore the country? Moreover, Madam can't control such a person at all. He also knows the identity of the madam. If he has the idea of ​​abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side, wouldn’t the madam and the young lady..."

Luo Ning thought for a while and continued to make up:

"Yejingtang is not a villain who is greedy for profit. He has lived in Liangzhou since he was a child. It is a miserable place like Liangzhou, where bandits are everywhere. The people don't even have enough to eat, and the court doesn't care about it, so he has always been interested in Liangzhou. The imperial court is very dissatisfied and wants to change this situation. The purpose of our Pingtian Sect is also to subvert the imperial court and bring peace to the people, which coincides with him, so he will join our Pingtian Sect and work together with us for our great cause."

Ping'er felt that this statement was quite reasonable. After thinking for a moment, she nodded and praised:

"As expected, heroes cherish heroes. I knew that a powerful figure like Ye Daxia would not be a court hawk who loves power. Then I will write a letter now and send it back to Nanxiao Mountain to explain the truth to the leader."

Luo Ning waved her hand slightly: "You can just go back and send the message. I act in my own way. You have nothing to do here..."

Ping'er wondered: "The leader said that if Madam doesn't go back, I will stay here to assist her. If I go back, the leader will definitely be suspicious, and he might come over and take a look himself."

"..."

Luo Ning blinked her eyes. After realizing this, she couldn't help but feel ashamed and could only compromise:

"That's okay. I'm busy outside on weekdays. It's also a good thing that you can accompany Yunli to take care of the food and daily life."

"Hehe~" Ping'er nodded and smiled quickly, then turned back and started writing a letter.

Luo Ning talked a lot of nonsense, and after stabilizing the little follower sent by Xue Baijin, she didn't even think about disciplining Xiao Yunli, and soon left alone, running back to Pei's house again...

——

It's late at night, in the back house of the Pei family.

The doors and windows of the boudoir were closed, and there was only a candle lamp on the dressing table in the inner room.

The hanging curtains swayed like water ripples, and if you could hear the subtle sound of the moon hitting it.

Pei Xiangjun was still stretching like a cat, with a touch of blush on his mature cheeks. He bit his lower lip and closed his eyes slightly. He was afraid that his sister-in-law and maidservants who were also in the back house would hear him, so he did not make a sound.

Ye Jingtang knelt on the bed, holding the moon as white as suet with both hands, and the traceless snow back was reflected in his eyes, which could be regarded as practicing the Qinglong Xianzhao.

After practicing for an unknown amount of time, before they could decide the winner, soft footsteps suddenly sounded outside:

Ta Ta ~

The dizzy Pei Xiangjun came back to his senses and knew who was coming by listening to the footsteps. He felt that his current action was a bit embarrassing, so he lay on his side on the pillow and whispered:

"This foxy girl really couldn't help herself tonight..."

Ye Jingtang also stopped firing, because it was inconvenient to go out, so he just stuck his head out of the curtain to take a look.

Squeak~

Soon, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside, and Luo Ning, dressed in green clothes, sneaked in quietly.

With his arrow on the string, Pei Xiangjun saw that Ye Jingtang was motionless, so he took the initiative to twist his waist and said at the same time:

"Didn't you say you couldn't come? Oh~...what are you doing here?"

As soon as Luo Ning walked into the back room, she heard a familiar voice, and her cold and beautiful eyes suddenly looked strange, but she did not argue with this shameless woman.

She quickly came to the front and opened the curtain, pushed Sanniang inside, covered her with a thin quilt, and sat in front of the Night Terror Hall:

"How long has it been and you are still messing around here?"

Ye Jingtang originally wanted to bully Ning'er who came out halfway, but seeing Luo Ning's anxious and serious face, he calmed down again and frowned:

"What's wrong? Did Yunli cause trouble?"

Seeing this, Pei Xiangjun also sat up with a puzzled look on his face.

Luo Ning's face was complicated: "Xue Baijin sent a personal maid here, and she has already arrived at Shuanggui Lane..."

"Cut~"

Pei Xiangjun was speechless and lay on the pillow again, saying angrily:

"I thought it was such a big deal, but here comes a maid. Do you need to act like you're going to die soon?"

"What do you know?"

Luo Ning pulled up the thin quilt to cover Sanniang's face and continued:

"Qiu Tianhe has already left. If I stay in the capital, I have to do something. If I don't do something, I have to go back to Nanxiao Mountain immediately. Xue Baijin sent someone to supervise me. If I send him back, Xue Baijin will definitely come over by himself. She must beat you little thief to death!"

Ye Jingtang understood the seriousness this time and frowned:

"What should we do?"

Pei Xiangjun raised his upper body and responded:

"Then just go back. I can take care of Jingtang by myself, and Jingtang won't be beaten to death..."

"you……"

Luo Ning was so angry that she raised her hand to hit Sanniang.

Ye Jingtang quickly stood in the middle to start a fight and said pleasantly:

"Stop joking and get down to business. Now we just have to do something and show it to Master Pingtian, right?"

"I'm not doing it to show her, I'm just doing it in a serious way."

Luo Ning said seriously: "I am the wife of the leader of the Pingtian Sect, and I am not from the imperial court. I agreed to stay in the capital to find a way to enter the palace, so I have to do something. How can I deceive Xue Baijin with empty words?"

When Pei Xiangjun heard this, he frowned and said: "What do you Pingtian Sect want to do in the palace? Jingtang will not do anything about rebellion..."

Ye Jingtang raised his hand slightly and explained:

"It's either a rebellion or entering the palace to find something, which seems to be buried under Cheng'an Palace. It's not impossible, but it's probably not easy..."

"No matter whether it is successful or not, you have to take it seriously and take action. If there are any difficulties, I can explain it to Nanxiaoshan and ask her not to rush it."

"I understand. Well... I told the court before I left that I will take you two to the palace to learn the Jade Bone Diagram when things are done. I will ask about the situation tomorrow... But even if you can enter the palace, don't make your own decisions. Finally Let me do this."

"I know. If you really find it, I have to go back right away. Well... you should look for it first and then talk about it."

After some discussion, Luo Ning felt more at ease. She stood up and wanted to leave, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Ye Jingtang's generous chest muscles, perfect abdominal muscles, and the tense...

Ye Jingtang noticed that Ning'er's eyes were averting her eyes, so she understood the meaning and took the initiative to put her arms around her shoulders:

"Okay, it's already so late. Let's rest first and continue discussing tomorrow."

Pei Xiangjun, who was neither up nor down, had been waiting for a long time. Seeing this, he turned it over again, held Luo Ning down, and took the medicine box from beside the pillow:

"You just had a bad idea to trick me, didn't you? Do you understand the principle of not doing to others what you don't want others to do to you? Come on, try being a hairless girl yourself first..."

Luo Ning saw that Sanniang was getting hard and was about to tear off the hair removal cream on her skirt. Naturally, she became anxious and covered it with her hands:

"Pei Sanniang, don't mess around! What if Yunli discovers you while taking a shower..."

"What if you find out? Just say you shaved yourself because it felt cool. Besides, it will grow out in a few months. I don't want you to be a little girl all the time..."

"You...Night Terror Hall! If you let her run wild again, I will really go back!"

"Who is messing around? It was you who started the trouble. Now I will give you a chance. You can choose to protect the front or the back..."

"What front and back?"

"You came up with two bad ideas and now you have forgotten them?"

"..."

Luo Ning pursed her lips, and because she felt a little unreasonable, she simply acted like she would rather die than surrender, tilted her head and closed her eyes and stopped paying attention...

——

The next day.

Boom~

Boom~

The distant morning bell rang from the Bell and Drum Tower, and the warm autumn sun shone on the streets and alleys of Yun'an City.

Ye Jingtang rode a big black horse and galloped outside the imperial city. After handing over the token to enter and leave the palace freely, he entered the imperial city.

This time I went to Wuzhou for work. On the surface, I was investigating the case of King Wu's rebellion, but secretly, I was looking for the formula for a substitute for Snow Lake Flower, and at the same time, I was catching Zhang Jinglin.

If these two things are done, I will definitely have to come back and resume my life.

Because it was Yuhu who secretly told him that Ye Jingtang couldn't tell Benben that he only entered the palace in the name of taking advantage of his vacation to meditate and practice in Minglongtan.

King Wu was escorted back to the capital yesterday, and naturally he had to hold a morning meeting to deal with the matter today.

Walking from the square in front of the palace, Ye Jingtang could see many courtiers entering the Taihua Palace, and the majestic Da Benben, dressed in court uniform, walked at the front.

Although Ye Jingtang enjoys the treatment of a fourth-grade military officer, he is not an official. Even if he is, a fourth-grade military attache is nothing among the important ministers in the court. He certainly did not run over to show his face to say hello, but directly followed the palace maid through the Taihua Palace. Arrive at Changle Palace.

The empress went to court in Taihua Palace, and there was no one in Changle Palace except the maids.

Ye Jingtang arrived at the waterside pavilion in the center of Minglong Pond by familiar means. He sat cross-legged with his back straight and practiced kung fu. He didn't open his eyes until the palace maid who was looking at him by the lake left, and studied what Ning'er said last night.

According to Ning'er, at the end of the previous dynasty, Emperor Yan Gong fled to Tiannan. When he was leaving an orphan on his deathbed, he told Xue Baijin's grandfather that there was something hidden under the Cheng'an Palace, and it was possible to get help from Beiliang.

The specific thing was not told by the leader of Pingtian. I only know that the leader of Pingtian emphasized that Ning'er should get it by herself and not tell outsiders. The reason is probably because he is afraid that if outsiders get it, they will go directly to Beiliang to exchange for high-ranking officials and generous salaries.

Ye Jingtang will definitely not help the Pingtian Sect to return to the country, but in order to allow Ning'er to stay in the capital with a clear conscience, the process of investigating the matter still has to go through.

According to Ning'er, the things were placed under a rockery on the side of the dormitory.

There is a small secret room under the rockery, which was built for hundreds of years when Dayan founded the country. It was originally used to preserve the Singing Dragon Picture. It is extremely concealed and has a delayed opening effect - after activating the mechanism, There will be quicksand falling until the mechanism opens under the influence of gravity.

Although the opening method is not troublesome, the process takes a whole day, and the movement is quite loud when it is opened, making it impossible for outsiders to open it privately.

Because the opening process was so ceremonial, even the founding emperor of Yan was too lazy to use it and simply placed the Minglong Picture in his study. This secret room was mostly used to store valuable items that might not be used for decades. Emperor Yan Gong escaped from the capital without taking the things in the secret room with him because he simply didn't have time to wait all day.

From the location of the Night Terror Hall, you can see the rockery in the garden, which is about three feet high. It doesn't look special. The Wei Dynasty was just a year old, and even the bathhouse used by the former empress dowager to have an affair was preserved. The rockery has probably not been touched. The things should still be inside, but it's almost impossible to open the rockery without anyone noticing.

Ye Jingtang had been observing for a long time and had yet to come up with a reasonable solution. Then his ears twitched and he heard footsteps coming from the lake.

Ta Ta ~

Seeing this, he quickly closed his eyes and concentrated, acting as if he was not focused on anything...
