Dream Broken You Pavilion

When Leng Shan went out to look for his cousin, Xiao Han told Wu Dexuan that he was going to deal with some business, so he went out through the window in his night clothes, leaving Wu Dexuan alone in the room, restless, like suffering, waiting Every second is spent in anxiety.He never left the door with a pair of eyes, sometimes he got up and paced around the room, sometimes he sat down to drink tea, and he didn't even realize that the tea in the cup was empty.

Seeing that Ion Night was getting closer, Xiao Han came back first, and after a while, Leng Shan came back with a big black bag.

Wu Dexuan greeted him hastily, with anticipation in his eyes, and asked:

"Oh Mr. Yu, you are finally back, how are you? What did your cousin say?"

Leng Shan didn't answer, just put the big black bag in his hand on the table, and there was a "clang" sound, and there was the sound of metal hitting in the bag.

Wu Dexuan was even more impolite, without saying a word, he hurriedly raised his hand and went to untie the burden.

The bundle was opened, revealing a neat stack of silver leather armor, three silver helmets, three pairs of short leather boots, and three long swords in the armor.

Xiao Han squinted his eyes calmly, and he understood it in his heart, and said:

"Young Master Yu, this trip was not in vain. It was quite rewarding. It seems that your cousin is very knowledgeable about current affairs."

Leng Shan raised his chin flamboyantly, "Naturally, my cousin helped me get these three outfits without saying a word." He reached out to take the tea that Xiao Han had just poured, and drank it all in one gulp, lifting his sleeves Wiping his mouth, he sat down on the stool.

Leng Shan cast a glance at Wu Dexuan, who was holding a silver helmet in one hand and armor in the other, looking curiously at him, and said:

"My cousin said that when the sky is dark at Zishi, you can just sneak in."

"Okay." Xiao Han stood up, thinking while walking, walked to the table, stared at the armor for a while, and said:

"Ion fashion has a while, shall we discuss it again?"

Having said that, he turned his head to look at Wu Dexuan.

Wu Dexuan inadvertently raised his head and met Xiao Han's complex eyes, a trace of tension rose in his heart, his arms tightly held the set of leather armor and helmet in his arms, looked at Xiao Han with eyes full of vigilance, and muttered: :

"The old man is definitely going."

Wu Dexuan's tone was resolute and affirmative, and the unquestionable stubbornness in his eyes made Xiao Han give up the idea of ​​persuading him. He shrugged his shoulders pretending to be innocent, spread his hands, and said:

"I didn't say anything."

Seeing the expressions of the Weng and his son-in-law, Leng Shan's beautiful red phoenix eyes flickered, and she curled her lips, "What's the difference between talking and not talking? Anyway, you have encountered a problem."

Xiao Han raised one leg, stepped on the stool wearing a moccasin boot, reached into the boot and took out a short blade with a sheath, gently placed it on the table, pushed it in front of Wu Dexuan, and said:

"My father-in-law insists on going, but my son-in-law can't stop me. This is my personal belonging. You can hide it in your boots for self-defense."

Wu Dexuan raised his eyes to look at the dagger on the table, he was not polite, took it and stuffed it into his boots, hurriedly put the armor, shoes and hat on himself, and said in his mouth:

"Hurry up and get dressed, it's time to go."

Xiao Han and Leng Shan looked at each other, dumbfounded, Leng Shan stepped forward and took off his hat, saying:

"My lord, are you going to walk around the street wearing this outfit, and then tell everyone 'I am the Ouchi guard, and I want to enter the palace to meet my empress'?!"

Hearing this, Wu Dexuan stopped what he was doing, looked at the fir tree, pondered carefully, and suddenly realized:

"Oh, I'm showing my stuff."

Leng Shan smiled and said, "Look at Mr. Wu who is in a hurry, but who cares about it, it's chaotic."

While talking, he reached out and took out another black cloth bag from the bag and handed it over, took another one to Xiao Han, and said:

"I've prepared cloth bags a long time ago. Too many things are too conspicuous. We each took our own clothes, hats and boots, and changed them when we got to the place."

He lifted another helmet, pointed to the silver leather cheek armor on the side and said:

"See, this hat is the most suitable for us. It covers half of our face, and it's hard to see clearly in the dark. We'll go to the west of the imperial city under a big pagoda tree in a while, and my cousin will wait for us there." .”

Xiao Han snapped his fingers at him, raised his eyebrows lightly, and praised: "This matter is well done, Mr. Yu."

Each of them carefully checked the weapons and equipment they carried with them. When everything was ready, Xiao Han said in a low voice:

"Set off."

The three of them held the cloth bags in their hands, and Leng Shan went to the door and gently opened the latch, opened the door a gap, stretched out his head to look around, and then the three of them tiptoed out one after another.

……

In the capital city of Hunan, the streets are bustling and crowded during the day, but at night, especially in this early winter night, the cold wind blows straight into people's necks. Except for the bright lights of the Goulan courtyard and the gambling house, there are many shops in the street. They closed early, and there were a few passers-by who were in a hurry, but they all just shrank their necks and lowered their heads as they walked quickly.

The three of them walked through the streets and alleys, quietly sneaked to the west corner of the imperial city, walked not far along the shadow at the base of the wall, and saw a century-old locust tree with a strong texture, surrounded by the three of them. Go, there is a figure under the dim tree shadow, looking at the base of the wall from time to time, as if it has been waiting for a long time.

Leng Shan signaled Xiao Han to wait here with his eyes, while he quickly ran towards the person under the locust tree.

Seeing the two whispering a few words, the man followed Leng Shan and walked towards Xiao Han and the others.

But seeing him, wearing a tiger-shaped copper helmet with a bunch of gray tassels on the top, a pair of silver bright leather armor, and a gold-plated animal face belt around his waist, he seems to be only 25 or [-] years old, tall and energetic. , his eyes shone brightly under the dim moonlight, looking very mighty.

Walking closer, he clasped his fists at Xiao Han, saluted respectfully, and said in a low voice: "The last general Pei Zixu has seen General Xiao."

Xiao Han smiled slightly and clasped his fists in return, "General Pei, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Pei Zixu looked at Xiao Han carefully, and couldn't help but praise: "I have heard about the name of the young general for a long time, but I didn't have the chance to meet him. Now I can see his true face. The general is really imposing, and his bearing is extraordinary. No wonder my always arrogant cousin is willing to follow him. Left and right, Zixu also has a feeling of resentment for seeing each other later."

The corners of Xiao Han's lips raised slightly, and he replied in a low voice: "Tonight there will be General Lao Pei."

Pei Zixu scanned the surroundings vigilantly, and said in a low voice: "This is not a place to talk, you change your clothes quickly, and Zixu will take you in."

The three of them put down the burden in their hands, took out their clothes and changed them quickly. Xiao Han asked while changing his clothes:

"Has there been any changes in the palace recently?"

Pei Zixu replied in a low voice: "The day before yesterday, someone broke into the palace at night, but before the guards gathered, they disappeared, and they must have left long ago. Now the palace is heavily guarded, so you can't stay for too long. Since the security in the palace has been strengthened , the patrolling people are not limited to my Yuqiansi, especially the harem, even the Yuqiansi is not allowed to come in and out at will, if someone sees the clue, even the last general will not be able to help you escape."

Xiao Han nodded, "Don't worry, General Pei, Xiao understands."

The three of them were busy for a while, and in a short while, the two handsome young men and a middle-aged doctor instantly turned into three handsome palace guards with long swords at their waists. A belt was tied around the waist, covering the cheeks on both sides, and in this dark night, it was difficult to discern the true face.

Pei Zixu took two more torches from behind to light them, and handed them to Leng Shan and Wu Dexuan.

After carefully sizing up the three of them, he nodded in satisfaction when he saw that there were no flaws. Then he stood upright with his chest upright, and waved his hand:

"Brothers, follow me to inspect the palace." After speaking, he strode forward.Holding the hilts of their swords, the three of Xiao Han lined up and followed closely behind...

The four walked around the base of the west wall and came straight to the palace gate. The thick red lacquered palace gate was tightly closed. When the guards on both sides of the palace gate saw Pei Zixu, they all clasped their fists and bowed and called out:

"General Pei."

Pei Zixu nodded slightly, and said: "Yes, brothers have worked hard." Reaching out his hand to take out the token from his pocket, he waved it in front of the guards, "Is there something wrong in the palace?"

The guard glanced at the token in Zixu's hand, bowed and replied:

"Return to the general, everything is normal." Then he shouted to the soldiers behind him:

"General Pei is on patrol, open the door quickly."

The door opened slowly with a dull "creaking" sound, and Pei Zixu led the three of them in without moving, and then the door slowly closed behind them.

The four of them finally entered the palace smoothly. At this time, the moonlight was gloomy, and there were occasional maids and eunuchs walking around in the palace in twos and threes carrying red palace lanterns.

Pei Zixu whispered to Xiao Han who was behind him while walking: "The main hall is the Daqing Hall, which is the place where grand ceremonies are held. To the north of the Daqing Hall is the Huangchen Hall, which is the front hall for the emperor to watch the court. The emperor usually goes to court and listens to politics in the west of the Daqing Hall. The Chuigong Hall on the side. Between Huangchen and Chuigong is the Hall of Rende, which is the resting place of the emperor. Jiying Hall and Shengping Building are banquet halls."

He raised his hand and pointed to the right, and said: "Follow this road, you will find the harem bedroom." After speaking, he slowed down, and looked around vigilantly while walking, as if he was patrolling cautiously.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he passed through a corner gate. He stopped beside a rockery, pointed to the end of a long corridor ahead, and said:

"The side door of Concubine Ying's bedroom is here. Zixu didn't have time to inform Chen Xiang, and Concubine Ying didn't know you were coming. General Xiao must be careful. Zixu is waiting here. Remember, this is the harem, don't delay too long , so as not to cause trouble."

Xiao Han nodded, and then handed him the torch in his hand, and the three quickly ran towards the corner of the courtyard under the cover of night...
