Chapter 870: One Night at the City Gate
Chapter 870 City Gate One Night.
The night in late summer and early autumn was already slightly cool, and Ye Xing and the others settled in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city.
They had been to this ruined temple many times, so they didn't feel anything wrong.
The night is getting deeper, and the sound of the autumn cicadas is much weaker, but in the grass outside the temple, the crickets seem to be in their full bloom, and the sound comes, as if they are holding a concert.
Ye Xing and the others entered their dreams in this natural voice.
But in the middle of the night, Ye Xing suddenly heard a slight footsteps passing in front of the temple, Ye Xing woke up suddenly, and then ran out quietly, only to see that under the hazy moonlight, a black-clothed masked man quickly ran towards the direction of the city gate, the speed of running was extremely fast, and at a glance, he knew that this person was very good.
Seeing this, Ye Xing didn't care about saying hello to Hua Zhimeng and them, so he flew up and chased after them.
The masked man in black ran to the city gate, looked around, and then jumped lightly to the top of the wall, and soon the figure disappeared from the wall.
Ye Xing didn't dare to slow down a little, and hurriedly jumped into the city, the city wall of Jinling is very high, and it is difficult for ordinary snitches to climb up, so those who can fly over the city wall are all masters of light skills.
But after entering the city, Ye Xing followed the black-clothed masked man for a long time, and finally the black-clothed masked man stopped in front of a mansion, and after looking around, he quietly jumped into the mansion.
But when Ye Xing raised his eyes and looked at the plaque of the mansion, he was stunned, this mansion turned out to be the home of Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Ye Xing had been here many times before, but he didn't expect to be absent for a few months, and he was confused for a while, and he didn't find out until he saw the plaque.
If the black-clothed masked man entered Ji Gang's mansion, I am afraid he would not be a thief, Ye Xing thought carefully in his heart, and flew into Ji Mansion.
But after entering the Ji Mansion, Ye Xing was struggling, because at this time, the Ji Mansion was full of guards, and it was impossible to get close to the living room or other houses without being discovered.
Seeing this situation, Ye Xing was very helpless and retreated back, if he stayed in it for a long time, he would definitely be discovered, if he was discovered, then things would not be good, what kind of person is Ji Gang commanded by Jinyiwei, if someone trespassed on his mansion, he would not teach that person a lesson desperately, and it was even possible to kill him.
At that time, even if Ye Xing said that he broke in with a masked man in black, I'm afraid no one would believe it.
After exiting the Ji Mansion, Ye Xing waited outside for another half an hour, he wanted to wait for the black-clothed masked man to come out, and then catch him and ask him, but Ye Xing waited for a long time, but the black-clothed masked man never appeared again.
There was no way, Ye Xing had to retreat to the city again, and returned to the broken temple in the suburbs, the broken temple was very broken, the cool wind blew and made people feel very comfortable, Di Xiaojie and the others were still asleep, they didn't notice what happened tonight at all.
Ye Xing was lying in his clothes, he was also very sleepy, and he didn't want to toss anymore.
The next day the weather was fine, the autumn breeze was mild, and the weeds were still thick with dew, and they took their horses and walked towards the city gates.
Early in the morning, the city gate has come and gone, the bustle is extraordinary, the people outside have to carry fresh vegetables to the city to sell, and the city also has a rush out of the city in the morning, the sentry at the city gate one by one after checking, then passed.
After Ye Xing and the others entered Jinling, the first thing they wanted to do was to go to a place that sold fried dough sticks and soy milk, drink soy milk and eat fried dough sticks to fill their hungry stomachs.
It was a matter of words and a consensus was reached.
After breakfast, Ye Xing and the others did not go back to Zhongshan Palace, but went directly to the East Palace Prince's Mansion, long before they came back, they had already passed a book to tell Prince Zhu Gaochi that they were coming back today, and now that they came back, it would be too rude not to visit.
Moreover, they must also explain to the prince about the haunting of the Forbidden City construction site in Beiping.
Coming to the East Palace, the prince Zhu Gaochi excitedly dragged his fat body to greet him, Ye Xing and others hurriedly knelt down, and then followed the prince to the study, Ye Xing told the matter of Beiping in detail, and the prince Zhu Gaochi nodded again and again in approval.
Then, Zhu Gaochi said to Ye Xing: "In two days, my father will come back, if he knows that you have done this, he will definitely be very happy." ”
Ye Xing naturally understands this, Zhu Di is bent on moving the capital, and during his imperial expedition, someone actually wants to sabotage the matter of moving the capital, which he can't tolerate, and now Ye Xing has solved this matter for him, Zhu Di is naturally happy, but although Ye Xing knew that this would be the case, he still persuaded Zhu Gaochi not to tell the emperor about this matter, even if he wanted to say it, it must be said that it was the prince's credit, although the prince was not in charge of the country, but it would not work without great merit.
Destroying the construction of the Forbidden City is a big thing, and if the prince solves this matter, it will undoubtedly make Zhu Di look down on the prince Zhu Gaochi.
Regarding Ye Xing's suggestion, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly in agreement, who would postpone the matter of putting gold on his face?
After discussing the matter of the Forbidden City in Beiping, Ye Xing and the others asked some about what happened in Jinling during their departure, and Zhu Gaochi said some more important things, but although they were important, they had nothing to do with state affairs, so after Zhu Gaochi finished speaking, Ye Xing and the others did not express any objections.
After worshipping the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, Ye Xing and the others left the East Palace.
They were a little sleepy, so they decided to go back to the Zhongshan Mansion to rest.
When he rested until noon, Ye Xing lay on the bed and didn't want to get up, but his mind kept spinning, Zhu Di would be back in two days, shouldn't they say something?
Zhu Di won a complete victory in the imperial expedition, not only killed the Tatar Khan, but also cornered Arutai, and finally had to surrender, such a feat is definitely worth showing off.
But Ye Xing thought about it, and felt that there was something wrong with him doing this, above the court, there would definitely be no fewer people who patted sycophants, if he also went to shoot, it would be a bit vulgar, he Ye Xing thought that he was not vulgar to that extent.
After thinking about it for a while, Ye Xing didn't find a way, so he had to get up from the bed in the end, don't think about it for the time being, no matter what he does, take one step at a time, and adapt to the situation!
At this time, I'm afraid it has to be like this, Ye Xing thought about it, and then thought about it.
