Tyrant I am from MI9

Chapter 29

At this moment, Qing Xia suddenly stretched out her other hand, and grabbed the man's hand with lightning speed, with a little force, the small white palm followed the opponent's retreat. , holding the opponent's hand tightly in the palm.

The hand in the palm visibly trembled, Qing Xia felt a trace of sweat slowly oozing out from the palm of the man.

The two hands held each other tightly in the dark wall.

"Who are you?" Qing Xia approached the entrance of the cave, looked out carefully, lowered her voice, and asked softly.

But the people over there didn't say a word, the hand held by Qing Xia felt a little stiff, there were thick calluses between the slender fingers, as if they were used to rough work, and they also seemed to be used to holding swords.

Qing Xia raised her other hand, brought the vermilion bottle close to the tip of her nose, a familiar smell of traditional Chinese medicine came out immediately, very similar to the decoction she drank last night.

"Are you He Shun?" He asked softly, but there was still no sound from the other side.At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps coming from the direction of the gate, Qing Xia knew that it was the food delivery person who came today.

The person on the opposite side also seemed to have heard the movement, slightly anxious, and gently pulled back.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, but the man didn't pull hard, just tried it carefully, and still let Qing Xia hold it.

The palace people in the dining room knocked on the door lightly, and shouted loudly without the slightest courtesy: "Your Majesty, the slaves have come in!"

There was the sound of unlocking the lock, and everything seemed to be slowed down.

Qing Xia knew that as soon as the maid from the dining room came in, with the defensive strength of more than 200 personal guards outside, the people on the other side of the wall would be hard to fly.And that person fled without struggling, as if he handed all his fate into Qing Xia's hands.

The chirping of insects came from the withered grass, and the midday sun was quite warm in the cold wind.Qing Xia leaned against the wall, holding a big rough hand, and finally, slowly let go.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing standing there?" the maid asked loudly without any scruples, without the slightest sign of being afraid of this noble lady of the Celestial Dynasty. Everyone knew that this Empress had offended Concubine Dan and the Crown Prince, who had long since disappeared. There is room for turning around.

Qing Xia raised her eyebrows, and coldly forced back the little maid's questioning.The right hand quickly retracted into the wide sleeve, stood there leaning on the wall, blocking the hole behind, and said in a cold voice: "Put down the things and go out immediately."

"You've all entered this kind of place, why are you putting on airs." The maid muttered softly, but it still clearly reached Qing Xia's ears.She didn't speak, but looked coldly at this maid who was only fifteen or sixteen years old and already had a pair of snobby eyes.

The maid rudely put the food box on the stone plate in the patio, turned around and walked out of the gate without even taking the things in, and closed the gate with a loud bang before leaving.

Hearing the sound of the door being locked, Qing Xia turned around slowly, only to see that the hole had disappeared, and the blue bricks that had been removed were blocked up again, and there was no sign of looseness at all without careful inspection.A thin thread slowly hangs in from the gap in the wall, and a package of oil-paper-wrapped things hangs underneath. It's not in the deep weeds, and you won't find it unless you go close.

Qing Xia leaned against the wall and slowly squatted down, picked up the oiled paper package, and slowly opened it layer by layer.

A pack of densely packed Chinese medicines, not yet boiled, each herb is marked with the name and medicinal properties of the herb in small script. The writing is vigorous and powerful. It is really hard to imagine how a man who is used to writing like this can write such small characters.Qing Xia picked up the package of herbs and sniffed it at the tip of her nose, it really smelled the same as the herbs in the bottle.

She knew that the other party didn't expect Qing Xia to be able to decoct the medicine by herself, the purpose of doing so was just to make her feel at ease and not worry about the poison in the medicine.

Playing with the vermilion bottle, Qing Xia leaned to the left in the withered grass, the midday sun was warm, it didn't feel like winter at all.I haven't eaten for a long time, a tempting scent suddenly rushes into Qing Xia's nostrils, Qing Xia frowned, looked down, and saw that there was a small bag under the oil paper bag, after opening it, it was still bubbling. Hot and fragrant beef.

The warmth on the palm flows into Qing Xia's heart along the fingers, the sky is covered with snow-white clouds.

When I woke up in the morning, I felt much better.After doing a few stretching exercises in the room, he walked out of the room with his head held high.

The bad luck of the past few days was wiped away, and the door latch was inserted from the inside, Qing Xia took out a pen and paper, and started preparations.

Carefully climb up the wall. Fortunately, the climate in the south is warm, even in winter, there are lush forests.Qingxia has done a lot of hiding work, and began to observe the place she was in seriously for the first time.

To the west is the direction of the main entrance. In contrast, there are many more Mingposts. There are about 20 guards standing there 24 hours in full armor.At nine o'clock, there are obvious traces of bushes pressing down, indicating that there are dark whistles lurking.

Facing the water in the north, there is a huge lake. There used to be a unique suspension bridge on it. I lived in Qingxia, and it has been dismantled. Without diving equipment, I swam into the icy lake in this season, and courted death. There is no difference, it can be filtered out directly.

To the south is Qianqing No. [-] Institute, with people coming and going, it is much more lively than here, and it doesn't look like anything special.But after Qing Xia observed carefully, he found that there were more than a dozen large and small secret whistles, and a seemingly decorative turret in the southeast was also hiding a mystery.To lurk this kind of thing, one must catch her unprepared, and now she is waiting for her to go out with her eyes wide open. In this kind of intentional situation, no matter how skillful Ren Qingxia is, she dare not make such a big deal.

In the end, only the east wall remained.Behind that place is a dense forest.The Chu Palace is different from the Forbidden City that Qingxia has seen in modern times, with more natural traces.Not to mention the vast area, the garden has the artistic conception of a garden in the south of the Yangtze River, with much less artificial decoration.The strange thing is that there are also many secret sentries here, and there is even a group of patrolling soldiers walking under the wall. A deep ditch has been dug under the wall, and the lake in the north is filled with water.Seeing this, Qing Xia couldn't help being stunned, so to speak, He Shun gave him medicine while standing in the water yesterday.Although the climate in Southern Chu is milder, it is still winter after all, the temperature is around 0 degrees, and the water temperature is freezing cold.Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling a little good for that stupid and loyal soldier.

After observing around, Qing Xia sat on the stone plate in the yard, holding a pen and paper, and after a short while, sketched out a floor plan of Qian Qing No. [-] Institute.Dozens of bright and dark whistles are marked with circles, densely packed like ant holes.Qing Xia frowned, sketched for a while, thought for a while, and relied on her super-strong memory to draw the floor plan of Chu Palace and the layout of Shengdu.

Maybe it's a professional habit, every time she goes to a city, Qing Xia is always used to finding the best escape route.After all this is done, the sun is already westward.Qing Xia walked to the east wall, sure enough, at the same position as last time, there was still a package of oiled paper, on a thin rope, a scarlet bottle was quietly hanging on it.

Qingxia spent three whole days recording the time of the guards changing shifts, and found out that the guards are in three shifts, changing every four hours.Perhaps the system established by Chu Li is flawless, but when it is implemented in the hands of these soldiers, they will inevitably be a little slack.After all, everyone disapproved of such a mobilizing force to guard a sick woman.Chu Li couldn't tell them that he was waiting for Prince Qi to throw himself into the trap again, so he gave Qing Xia an opportunity.

Tie the trousers and silk embroidered shoes together with fine ropes, tie up her long hair, put the dagger hidden on her body between the trouser legs, and finally take a long rope and tie it to her thigh.The wide skirt can be dropped, and everything is hidden in it.After doing all this, the moon has been hollowed out.Taking a deep breath, he opened the door.

It was already midnight, and the bright and clear moon hung round in the sky, swaying a light halo.On the large expanse of hoarfrost ground, a young man with a jade belt python robe stood firmly by the courtyard, his eyes looked at Qing Xia standing at the door, his eyes were as bright as stars.

"It's so late, where are you going?"

Qingxia was startled, but her face remained calm, she said coldly: "I've come to this place, where else do you think I can go?" The body still in the room leaned over, quickly picked up a cup, the door blocked it Catching the other party's line of sight, Qing Xia walked out holding the cup without looking sideways.He came to the corner of the house, opened the lid of the water tank, scooped up a glass of water and drank it with his head up.

His brows were furrowed for a moment, and his voice was filled with suppressed anger: "I heard that you are sick."

"Chu Li," Qing Xia said lightly, turned around slowly, and said with a sneer: "You shouldn't be here."

Chu Li's expression froze, and the blackness in his eyes became even worse, and he said in a deep voice, "I know in my heart whether I should come or not."

Qing Xia shook her head slowly, and said lightly: "Differences of the way do not conspire with each other, Zhuang Qingxia and you are not fellow travelers, it is only right and proper for you to imprison her. But if you keep her in your heart, you will suffer the consequences sooner or later."

"Zhuang Qingxia, you think too much of yourself." Chu Li snorted coldly, and said angrily, "I came here just to make sure you are not dead. What Qi An did to me back then, I will pay a hundred times a thousand times sooner or later Get it back!"

Qing Xia looked at him steadfastly, only feeling a burst of sadness rising from the bottom of her heart.From a bystander's point of view, Zhuang Qingxia betrayed Chu Li for the sake of Crown Prince Qi, and it is only right for Chu Li to imprison her. Even in such a feudal society, Chu Li could beat her to pieces when she first noticed it. .But Chu Li didn't do that, he tried his best to prove this matter, he just wanted to give Zhuang Qingxia a chance to survive.
