The alley was dark and long, and it was inevitable to feel nervous walking in it. Fortunately, there was nothing scary, and the two of them walked to the end smoothly.
Ning Shouxu seized the opportunity, pushed his wheelchair and rushed out from the corner.
Ning Xuenian screamed and turned and ran.
After running two steps, she found that Xia Jing did not keep up with her, so she turned around, grabbed the boy's hand and continued running. She did not relax until she ran to Sun Jingzhu and stood under the light of the lantern.
She calmed down and realized that the black shadow that suddenly appeared was Ning Shouxu, and her face puffed up.
Sun Jingzhu touched her head and looked at Ning Shouxu who came out of the alley with a reproachful look.
Ning Shouxu returned in a wheelchair, smiling heartily.
Xia Jing gritted his teeth. He had intended to scare Ning Shouxu and Sun Jingzhu, but he was actually scared by Ning Shouxu instead.
Fortunately, he still has a trick up his sleeve.
He comforted Ning Xuenian and led the group to a red wall.
"When the imperial palace was being built, a craftsman wanted his daughter to have a good life, so he built her into the palace wall. He gave her a hammer and chisel, as well as a few days' worth of food, and told her to wait three days, then chisel through the wall and sneak into the harem."
"Who would have thought that because the palace walls were so stuffy, my daughter fell seriously ill. After three days, she no longer had the strength to break through the palace wall and was trapped to death. To this day, her soul is still inside the wall, hammering away at it."
"As long as you hold a candle and stand close to the palace wall, you can faintly hear the sound of chisels hitting bricks."
This story is much scarier than the first one.
Xia Jing took out a candle, lit it and gave it to Ning Shouxu and Sun Jingzhu. The two of them came to the palace wall and indeed heard a faint thudding sound.
The two looked at each other, and Ning Shouxu gestured to Sun Jingzhu to go behind the wall. He stayed where he was and knocked on the wall in response.
After a while, Sun Jingzhu came back holding Honeysuckle.
Ning Shouxu turned his head to look at Xia Jing.
Xia Jing smiled awkwardly: "What a coincidence, Honeysuckle, you're out playing too?"
He looked at Sun Jingzhu again. He hadn't realized before that this girl was also a martial artist. At least she could get close to the careless Ren Dong.
"Okay, let's move on to the next one." Xia Jing changed the subject.
"I haven't tried it yet!" Ning Xuenian refused to give in. She really thought that Sun Jingzhu and Ren Dong had just met by chance.
Xia Jing could only let the girl lean against the wall and listen.
"Nothing." The girl was disappointed.
Of course not, the ghost had been caught by Sun Jingzhu. Xia Jing told her the secret.
The five of them moved to the next place, which was the Imperial Garden.
"Do you see that peach tree? It's the second one from the left. Look carefully at the lines on the trunk." Xia Jing spoke mysteriously this time.
He could see that Ning Shouxu and Sun Jingzhu were both on guard. If he told them too much detail, they would be able to guess the scare tactics and be prepared.
He handed the candlestick to the two of them. Ning Shouxu held the candlestick, and Sun Jingzhu pushed the wheelchair, and they came to the peach tree that Xia Jing mentioned.
The candlelight illuminated the tree trunk, and they carefully examined the brown veins.
In Xia Jing's previous life, horror scenes were divided into two categories. One was called psychological horror, which was the method Xia Jing had just used. He told a horror story to make you nervous, but no ghosts appeared. The second category was called jump sare, commonly known as jumping face kill, which achieved the purpose of scaring people by suddenly appearing a ghost face.
What Xia Jing is using now is the latter one.
Xia Jing only gave him one candle, which only illuminated a limited area. To see more clearly, Sun Jingzhu moved closer to the candlestick in Ning Shouxu's hand. Ning Shouxu could smell the fragrance of peach blossoms, the scent of handmade soap.
He couldn't help but feel dazed. Ten years ago, when he first met Sun Jingzhu, it was also a spring day like this, and the peach blossoms were also fragrant.
Just at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Sun Jingzhu was concentrating on looking at the tree patterns when a pair of eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness above his vision. Then a gust of wind blew and extinguished the candle in Ning Shouxu's hand. The light was extinguished and everything was pitch black!
"Ah!" She let out a small cry of surprise and leaned back.
Ning Shouxu quickly raised his arm, held her hand, and grabbed her arm. The wheelchair shook, and Sun Jingzhu calmed down.
The eye in the darkness was still there, and Ning Shouxu freed one hand and grabbed it.
"Meow?" General Coal opened his innocent eyes and looked at Ning Shouxu.
What a coincidence, meow, you are hanging out here too.
Ning Shouxu knocked the cat's head and turned to look at Xia Jing. Xia Jing turned around and pretended to study the shadow of the lantern with Ning Xuenian.
Ning Shouxu tapped General Coal's head again.
"Meow meow meow!" General Coal raised his paw.
That’s too much! If you hit me again, I’ll claw you back!
"Why is the Third Prince making things difficult for it?" Sun Jingzhu didn't know that the black cat was an actor of Xia Jing faction. He rescued General Coal from Ning Shouxu and put him on the ground.
General Coal immediately ran away.
Watching the black cat disappear into the night, Sun Jingzhu pushed Ning Shouxu back. The fingers of his left hand trembled, and the place where Ning Shouxu held it felt a little hot.
Ning Shouxu put his hand into the blanket on his legs, and the part that touched Sun Jingzhu's skin was a little cold.
Their eyes drifted, unconsciously looking at each other, and then quickly separated.
Xia Jing only arranged three locations. After the exploration was over, he looked at the ambiguous atmosphere between the two, then looked at Ning Xuenian who was both scared and happy, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Meow." General Coal reminded the boy in the dark not to forget his meow and kill the chicken.
Xia Jing made an OK gesture to it.
The five people walked out of the imperial garden and continued forward. Ning Shouxu and Sun Jingzhu were absent-minded, Ning Xuenian was recalling the excitement, Rendong was counting the previous mistakes, and only Xia Jing was watching the road.
He led the crowd into an alley. The light of the lantern spread out at the corner of the wall like a folding fan. The yellow light climbed over the stone bricks and climbed onto a pair of bright yellow boots.
The smile on Xia Jing's face froze. He looked up and saw a dark shadow in the moonlight.
Mom!
The lantern fell to the ground, Xia Jing took a step back and protected Ning Shouxu in front of him.
Ning Shouxu looked at the boy behind him and laughed: "What did you see that scared you so much?"
He raised his lantern and leaned forward. The light illuminated a bright yellow robe. He raised the lantern again, and Emperor Kangning's face appeared.
"Laugh, why aren't you laughing anymore?" Emperor Kangning looked at the five people with an expressionless face.
Chapter 124: Emperor Kangning
How could Ning Shouxu dare to laugh!
Urgent! What should I do if my dad catches me hanging out with my younger brothers and sisters at night?
He didn't laugh. Emperor Kangning laughed heartily and turned to look at Xu Zhongde: "Look, what did I say?"
Xu Zhongde bent over and looked at Emperor Kangning with admiration: "Your Majesty's moves are truly extraordinary."
He was actually a little speechless.
There was a strange noise coming from the imperial garden, which of course could not be hidden from the eunuchs on duty. The eunuchs found out from afar that it was the prince and princess, and immediately reported to the Imperial Household Department.
Xu Zhongde happened to be staying up late with Emperor Kangning today, and Li Gou'er had gone to bed early. The undecided eunuchs could only tell the matter to the eunuch in charge of the seal. The eunuch in charge of the seal was Xu Zhongde's enemy and was not under his control. In order to show his face in front of Emperor Kangning, he directly reported the matter to the Yangxin Palace.
After reviewing the memorials, Emperor Kangning was bored, so he led Xu Zhongde and several other eunuchs to the imperial garden, where he saw the five people who were about to leave.
"Let them hide and watch me!" After giving orders to Xu Zhongde, Emperor Kangning blocked the path that Xia Jing and the other four had to pass, and hid behind the wall insidiously.
After that, Emperor Kangning first frightened the Ninth Prince and then the Third Prince.
Seeing him smile, Xia Jing and the other four breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly saluted him.
"No need to be polite." Emperor Kangning looked at the five people and stroked his beard. "What are you doing sneaking around in the Imperial Garden at night?"
Of course, we can't say that we are playing a game of courage at this time. Those mysterious things must not be brought to the table.
Xia Jing replied: "Speed racing."
"What is drag racing?" Emperor Kang Ning wondered.
Xia Jing pushed Ning Shouxu, putting one foot on the wheelchair and the other on the ground to accelerate. The wheels clattered and the speed was very fast. He performed a flying wheelchair in front of Emperor Kang Ning.
After turning around, the wheelchair returned to Emperor Kang Ning.
"Because playing during the day is disrespectful, we changed it to playing at night," Ning Shouxu added.
Emperor Kangning frowned and snorted coldly, "I thought it was something important! What time is it now? As a prince, you are playing this with your younger brothers and sisters at night! Where are the palace restrictions? Where are the rules? Get down here!"
……
Eunuchs holding lanterns lined up in front of the imperial garden to light the way.
Emperor Kang Ning was holding Ning Xuenian in his arms, sitting in a wheelchair, speeding past, laughing heartily: "Faster, faster!"
Xia Jing pedaled twice more, and the wheelchair increased its speed again, causing Ning Xuenian to scream.
On the side, Ning Shouxu and Xu Zhongde, who were sitting on the dragon chariot, looked at each other.
After turning around five or six times, Emperor Kang Ning was finally satisfied. He got out of the wheelchair holding Ning Xuenian.
"I won't bother with what happened today." Emperor Kangning smoothed his wind-blown beard. "Next time you want to play, don't be afraid of being laughed at. Play during the day. If I catch you at night, don't let any of you escape!"
He put Ning Xuenian down and looked at the four eunuchs on his left and right: "Carry the sedan chair and send the Third Prince back."
He then ordered another eunuch: "Send the Ninth Prince and the Seventh Princess back."
"Go ahead." He waved his hand.
The four eunuchs immediately set out to lift the dragon chariot. Ning Shouxu hadn't reacted yet, and because the chariot was too high, he was a little panicked and missed the opportunity to ask questions.
It was not until the dragon chariot entered the alley that Ning Shouxu realized the problem.
No, where's my wheelchair?
The wheelchair is under Emperor Kangning's butt.
Xu Zhongde pushed Emperor Kangning forward with a subtle mood.
"This chair is good, stable and comfortable, much more comfortable than the armchair." Emperor Kang Ning praised it highly.
Is it comfortable? Xia Jing applied ergonomics knowledge.
"It can still be pushed, like a cart, much more comfortable than the sedan chair. I'm old, and the shaking of the sedan chair makes me dizzy." Emperor Kangning touched the armrest and found a bag for things next to his butt.
He took out a blanket from inside. The blanket was wrapped and felt a little heavy. When he opened it, he saw that there were quite a lot of things.
A colorful cube, a bunch of bamboo sticks, a rope tied into a loop...
What a mess.
Emperor Kangning continued flipping through the pages, his eyes lighting up. He recognized this; it was a puzzle!
There are also a few paintings and a few notes.
Emperor Kang Ning picked up a note, folded it in half, with words on the inside and outside.
Xu Zhongde waved his hand and asked the eunuchs behind him to gather the lanterns and illuminate the words on the note.
"What's the earliest surname?"
Emperor Kangning pondered, Shennong? Xuanyuan? Ji?
He unfolded it and read the words inside.
"Answer: Good (Human nature is good at birth)"
WTF!
Emperor Kangning frowned and stuffed the note back, feeling that this question was an insult to the ancient texts! It was simply treasonous!
But this issue of treason could not be shaken off Emperor Kangning's mind.
The so-called brain teasers are just like those brainwash songs. When you first hear them, you frown, but before you know it, you find yourself singing them!
Emperor Kangning took out another note.
Why don’t blind people see doctors when they are sick?
Yeah, why not watch it?
He unfolded the answer and couldn't help laughing, which scared Xu Zhongde behind him.
"Xiao Dezi, let me ask you, Chungen's father had three children, one named Dalang, one named Erlang, what was the name of the remaining one?" Emperor Kangning asked with a smile.
