The Legend of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 193 Extraordinary Night

The stone cover silently moves horizontally.

The starry night sky appeared above the heads of the three people, and the string moon disappeared in the clouds.

At a glance of Ling Feng's probe, he couldn't help but praise the ingenuity of the tunnel designer. The original exit was set in a rockery mountain in the center of the big fish pond at the core of the imperial garden. The exit was on a smooth slope, surrounded by rocks blocking the view, and the access was not worried.

The three of them got out and closed the exit.

Linglongjiao took out a few hoods and handed them to the two. Ling Feng hesitated to take them, because there was a leather mask, and the hood was just a multi-layer arrangement, which was just the icing on the cake. Shafang waited for Ling Feng's consent before taking over, which made Linglongjiao angry.

She took a deep breath of the cool night breeze, then covered her head with a black scarf, only her eyes were exposed, and whispered, "There seems to be no one in the royal garden. Everything is quite unreasonable tonight." She fled all the way from the grassland to the east. At a young age, she had rich experience in the enemy. Of course, she saw some ways.

Ling Feng sighed, "Do you think there is something wrong with the vitality around here?"

Since the double cultivation of Shafang's spirit, his spiritual strength has entered another long way, and he has been more refined in his awareness of the subtleties of the surrounding environment. Now he has a vague feeling that he seems to have fallen into someone else's situation. After his thoughts freely dissipate into the air, he finds that the situation is really not optimistic.

Linglong was stunned, and she would not have such a keen sense with her low martial arts. It's just that this has anything to do with the escape tonight?

"It's true. The vitality between heaven and earth is necessary for our innate masters to practice congenital qi. If the vitality density is strong, it will get twice the result with half the effort. Shafang closed her eyes and carefully realized the flow of the wind. Finally, she found something. Seeing that Linglong was puzzled, she explained slightly and frowned and said, "But the vitality here is thin, as if it has been absorbed elsewhere."

Ling Feng muttered, "This is just the location of the original Sui Ting harem, but there is actually a place similar to the gathering array, which is really puzzling." Suddenly, his face was solemn, "You two go first."

"Why?" An ominous hunch flashed in Linglong's heart. Hearing what he said, she refused to agree.

A woman's natural sixth sense is stronger than that of a man, whether it is when catching an unruly husband or dealing with unknown dangers.

Ling Feng suppressed his heart and was confused. He smiled and said, "You don't need to care more about this. I want to recover my strength. I mostly have to rely on tonight."

Linglongjiao did not want to leave him to escape alone, but when she heard what he said, she also knew that the gap with his skills would only become a burden, and she had to respond. To her surprise, Ling Feng also let Sha Fang leave with her.

Guessing her thoughts, Ling Feng explained, "Shafang has another task. Let her send you out of the city first."

Shafang is his female slave. Her spirit is under her control. She dares not disobey and takes her orders. Linglong Jiao was reluctant to give up. In just one day, she had some fighting friendship with him. Although there were not many men and women, the good impression was inevitable. Thinking of when we would meet in the future, she was helpless and had to shed tears and leave.

If she knew that Ling Feng only had a small amount of true qi to call at this moment, she would never leave. However, Ling Feng felt that his future was uncertain tonight. How could he have the heart to let her take risks and hide it?

Through a huge spiritual sympathetic feeling, Ling Feng naturally knew all the scenes inside and outside the imperial city, prepared the best escape route for the two, and saw them leave. He had already made follow-up arrangements to tell Sha Fang through mind-to-heart transmission. Thinking about the complex situation just detected, he was a little sad and confused.

If a man doesn't do something, he must do something. Now knowing that this is a game, he has to jump in! Because he is Ling Feng, he has no choice!

The night is as cold as water.

Tonight will be an extraordinary night!

***

There is a narrow path behind the famous Dongda Temple in Daxing City, and the trees on both sides cover the sky, giving people a subtle hidden feeling. A 17- or 18-year-old girl was lifting the tail palace lamp and walking gracefully in the hazy moonlight. She walked through the path, and her slight foot sounded in the quiet space.

She is wearing a plain green swallowtail-shaped coat with folded and decorated with ribbons, and the bottom is a white Lingluo trousers skirt, with a belt around her waist, showing a leisurely and natural charm. This dress makes people know at a glance that it is a lady from a rich family.

I can only see that she is dignified, but not gorgeous, beautiful but not charming, beautiful but not charming, clear but not cold, and has a gentle attitude. The skirt fluttered, like an ethereal fairy going with the wind, but the eyebrows frowned slightly, as if there was some faint sadness.

If Ling Feng is here, he will definitely recognize that she is Kou Zhong's dream lover Li Xiuning!

Not long after, it suddenly became cheerful in front of me. A temple only a quarter of the size of Dongda Temple appeared in front of me, simple and unpretentious, giving people a quiet feeling of avoiding vulgar dust. The hall turned out to be the three big characters of Emperor Wen's personal title - Yuhe'an!

Lightly button the door. After a while, an old nun holding a bead string has opened the door of the courtyard and said kindly, "Lord Li Shi, the concubine has been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Thank you, Master!" Li Xiuning also thanked her. She knew that Lao Ni was highly valued and had an inextricable relationship with the former emperor Yang Jian, but she was plain and indifferent. She asked again, "Do you know why Miss Shi wants to see the little girl?"

The old Nifa is always good-named. He made way and said honestly, "I don't know."

Li Xiuning smiled calmly and did not say anything. With another middle-aged lady all the way through the forest, she came to a waiting room. She saw a concubine dressed as a nun. She was wearing a light yellow robe, but she wore a waterfall-like black hair, and a bun was tied with a green hairpin on the top of her head, which was more like a beautiful Taoist fairy. The eyebrows are picturesque and the face is like a dream, which makes people think that she is a fairy who came out of the painting. I can't believe that there is such a woman in the mortal world.

The girl shot a look of admiration in her eyes, bowed and saluted, and left by herself.

There is a giant statue of Avalokitesvara in the room. There is a small candlestick under the seat, and the flashing fireworks are dancing gently.

Li Xiuning turned off the lamp in his hand and put it on the ground. When she was measuring the layout in the room, the master concubine had a pleasant voice like fairy music and said in her ear, "Miss Li, we meet again!" She was sitting cross-legged on the Putuan in front of the statue, with her beautiful jade face without sadness or joy, signaling Li Xiuning to sit in the chair in the room.

Next to the chair is a quaint red lacquer square table. There are two celadon vases on the table, which are bright and quite exquisite. There are two bouquets of unknown plain flowers in the bottle. The faint aroma permeates the hall, adding a little feminine atmosphere to the wide hall. There is a set of tea set on the side of the bottle, and a cup of tea has been made. I don't know if it is from her bare hands or someone else.

"Yes! I don't know what's wrong with the teacher fairy summoning the little girl?" Somehow, Li Xiuning's tone is not good, with a hint of sarcasm, and has never been calm and dignified.

In fact, she really has a bad impression on the nuns of Cihang Jingzhai. Today, the disguise of the concubine gives her a hypocrisy and pretentious feeling. She is not only a nun, so why does she have to save her hair? The four-character crown of "beauty disaster" is the most appropriate on this woman's head.

The master concubine Xuan was not surprised about this. Her face was calm. Obviously, the last meeting between the two was mostly this scene. Her clear and bottomless eyes looked at her and said indifferently, "Miss Li seems to have some misunderstanding about me?"

Li Xiuning sat down like a man, leaned on the back of the chair, and sighed, "How can the little woman, how dare you talk to the right leader who admires the world?"

The master concubine's beautiful eyes shot a complex look and sighed faintly and said, "Since we met, Miss Li's attitude towards the concubine has been so confusing."

Li Xiuning was slightly stunned, and a bitter smile floated from the corners of her lips. In the past few days, she has been annoyed by many things, as if her temper was indeed getting longer, as if she had changed. But these secrets are really difficult to say, and they are not enough for outsiders.

"I invited the girl to come today. There is really a strange thing. I want to ask the girl to explain." When the master concubine saw that she didn't answer, she talked about today's topic.

When he picked up the teacup, Li Xiuning naturally knew that it must be about the inside of the valve. He couldn't help smiling bitterly and said, "Now there are father and second brother in the valve. Why do you come to find me as an idle person?"

This time, Li Valve was in a hurry, but the strange thing was that the road was smooth, like a broken bamboo, and there was almost no effective resistance. The women's army she trained herself didn't use much. At present, the Shangdang, Changping and Hanoi counties are not flat. Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng is responsible for the appeasement and pacification work in this area. The youngest son Li Yuanji stays in Taiyuan, so Li Yuan and Li Shimin's father and son are in charge of the city.

Shi Feixuan heard her change her style and called her "concubine Xuan". The calm and waveless heart lake actually appeared with silk waves. Of course, she knew something about Li Xiuning's mind. Of course, she understood why. She couldn't help but be distracted. It seemed that she still couldn't see through all her emotions in the world. He lowered his head, recited the formula silently, calmed his mind, and said slowly, "Xiu Ning knows that your valve has colluded with the demon demons recently?"

Li Xiuning tasted fragrant tea and was not shocked. He did light judo: "It seems that it is the noble faction who colludes with the Demon Gate to deal with Ming Zongyue, right?"

The master concubine looked at her with a shock.

Li Xiuning swallowed the tea as if she had said something trivial, met her eyes frankly and naturally, and smiled, "Why did Concubine look at me like this?"

Shi Feixuan said calmly, "Since her debut, Feixuan has rarely met such a frank person as Xiuning." But he added in his heart, "The Ling Feng you have been thinking about is also a person."

As Li Xiuning said, even if Jingzhai and the Demon Gate have cooperated, no one in the world dares to argue about this matter, let alone so mercilessly in front of Jingzhai's descendants. What the fairy who pays attention to the sword with her heart feels about the hypocrisy and flattery in the world is not the detached status, but a faint antipathy. Li Xiuning's words gave her a sincere freshness, which made her unable to help but have the desire to make friends.

"Good tea!" Li Xiuning praised, but her expression did not mean any appreciation. Instead, she wanted to listen to the master's advice. What she could think of, the master's concubine could also think of it. There must be a reason she didn't know.

The master concubine Huan muttered and said, "This time, Zhao Deyan, the demon commander, went south with the Turkic warriors and indirectly united with the murderers of the demon family, such as Tianjun Xiying, in order to help the nobles break the city. Our collective influence in all aspects forced Ming Zong Yue to open Yang Gong's treasure house, so that St. Sheli was introduced ahead of schedule. Since then, the two sides have completely turned against each other for the reli. Yesterday morning, Ming Zongyue was defeated by Ning Zhenren. Now he is nowhere to be found. It doesn't have much to do with me colluding with the devil, right?

She talked about Li Valve's cooperation projects all the way, which has her own deep meaning.

Li Xiuning put down the teacup, glanced at the dark night sky outside the window, and said gently, "Why do you hide it from me? Isn't Ming Zongyue forced into the palace by you at this time?"

The concubine's bright eyes shed a light of wisdom, which was deep and touching. She said freely, "Does Xiuning believe that this matter has nothing to do with my house?" It shows that he does know the specific whereabouts of Ming Zongyue.

The speed of information from Jingzhai is really appalling.

She then said, "After Zhu Yuyan and her master were both injured, I didn't arrange for others to kill. But the actual situation is that she appeared in the palace and became the bait for your valve to deal with Ming Zongyue.

Li Xiuning's delicate body trembled slightly, turned around, showed an unprecedented solemn look, and said, "Let's talk about it."

She got the news from her father and brother that Ming Zong Yue first plotted for the devil, and then fought against Ning Daoqi and was seriously injured. Tonight, a net of heaven and earth was set up in the palace to wait for him to appear. Through preconceived ideas, he thought that this was a conspiracy between Cihang Jingzhai and Momen. Of course, he did not like the master's concubine.

Collusion between good and evil, dealing with a person by any means, is this the so-called right way?

Now listening to the teacher's concubine's detailed talk, I vaguely feel that Li Valve is falling into a huge trap.

Since Jingzhai did not cooperate with the Magic Gate in the later period, how could his father know that Mingzong was injured? How could he be confident that Mingzong would definitely go to the palace and arrange everything? How could Zhu Yuyan fall into their hands? Who has been pushing behind it? Who is the framer of the interlocking plan? What is his purpose?

She didn't believe it would be a coincidence. So Zhao Deyan, the demon commander, should not have such great ability, right? Will it be the evil king Shi Zhixuan? Or is it someone else?

As she was thinking, she only heard the imperial concubine Xuan Tan say softly, "I heard that Xiuning is your third brother..."

"Third brother?"

Li Xiuning immediately thought of the indifferent figure, and his beautiful eyes showed an inexperable sad look.
