Chapter 257: Ping Zhongshan (Part 7)



The Zhongshan Palace was built in an exceptionally grand style.

After all, it is the residence of a king, and as a vassal state, it must have all the necessary specifications.

As soon as he entered the palace, palace servants came to greet him.

Seeing Wei Xiyin and Wei Li, the palace maid was slightly surprised, but quickly adjusted herself and saluted respectfully, "Welcome back, Your Highness. Your Highness has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me."

As for the Wei brothers and sisters, other palace servants came and took them downstairs to settle them down.

There was no precedent of outsiders staying overnight in the royal palace in the past.

Before leaving, Princess Zhongshan instructed, "Guests are welcome. Please let your two benefactors stay in my side hall."

As the only legitimate daughter of King Zhongshan, the princess has been favored since childhood. Naturally, the palace she lives in is not bad. In addition to the main hall, there are two side halls on the left and right, which have been vacant before.

but……

This Lord Wei is a man!

How can you live in the princess's side hall!

Before the palace maid could react, the princess had already followed the others away.

The palace maid stayed where she was, hesitating, wondering if she should just take the person away like this. What if His Highness blamed her...

"Why don't you lead the way quickly? Don't you see how hot it is outside?"

Wei Xiyin wiped the sweat off her face impatiently, "If you keep dawdling, I'll report you to His Highness later."

Wei Li bowed his hands good-naturedly and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

The palace maids dared not delay any longer. After all, she was a noble lady. If she angered them, they would really go to His Highness to complain...

Thinking of His Highness's recent mood swings, the palace servant gritted her teeth and obeyed the order directly, taking the person to the princess's palace for placement.

The palace where the princess lived was called Pingyao Palace, and Pingyao was a place name in Zhongshan. It was the fief of the princess of Zhongshan and she had the right to collect taxes.

This shows how favored the princess was in the past.

Received news that the princess returned safely.

The palace servants had already taken action to clean all the rooms in the palace. The palace servants were busy but not chaotic, and soon the house looked brand new.

When the cousins ​​came over, they saw palace maids everywhere in the hall.

The two looked at each other without saying a word, and were quickly settled in the side hall.

Wei Xiyin lives on the left and Wei Li lives on the right.

These palace servants were extremely well-behaved. They moved around without making any noise and were very discerning. They would not say anything that was not necessary.

But both the main hall and the side hall were guarded by palace servants, making it difficult to communicate.

Qin Shan and the other five guards who followed Wei Xiyin in pushed the luggage and the wooden ox and horse into the side hall, and then stayed outside.

To outsiders, they were servants after all and could not stay in the girl's room for long.

Now Zhongshan Kingdom is already controlled by Yuan Sanlang.

Once you enter the palace, everyone is destined to be under Motosaburo's surveillance.

Wei Li entered the house opposite and there was no movement.

Wei Xiyin tried hard to maintain her persona, clamoring for water to take a bath, and ordering several palace maids in the side hall around.

Water is extremely scarce right now, and there is not much water left in the palace. The palace servants were so annoyed by her that they had no choice but to go find the steward.

After a lot of effort, I finally got some water.

After Wei Xiyin asked them to bring in the water, she raised her chin and said, "Go down, you clumsy fellow. I don't need you to serve me."

There was only a "pop" sound.

The door of the house was closed.

She was the only one left in the room.

Without outsiders, Wei Xiyin finally returned to normal.

Qin Shan and his men were guarding outside the hall, so she was not worried that someone would suddenly break in.

There is no need to rush to take a bath.

Wei Xiyin slowly walked into the compartment, where the gifts they brought were piled high and covered with a piece of cloth.

She walked forward, lifted the cloth, took away the bathtub and some clothes on the top, and found rows of neatly placed small boxes underneath.

You can tell without opening it that the box is full of little black balls.

There are two red-marked wooden boxes, which contain the new type of explosives that Cookie mentioned was the latest and most powerful one.

Besides this.

There is some "Sun Real Fire" sealed in a bamboo tube at the bottom of the car. Cookie also added a fuse to the outside of the bamboo tube, so there is no need to open the bamboo tube. It can be thrown out directly after lighting the fuse.

However, it is easy to imagine that the palace where Yuan Saburo lives is heavily guarded, and the guards might be discovered before they even get close.

They only brought a few people with them, and because of an unexpected situation, Chu Yu stayed outside the palace.

Thinking of Chu Yu.

Wei Xiyin was in a complicated mood. From the moment they met, she knew that there were many suspicious points about this person.

But at that time, the fort was in a state of disrepair, and as a junior, she could not do anything drastic. Apart from Chang Ying, there was almost no one around her who could be used. Qin Shan and others belonged to the clan's troops at the time, and were responsible for the defense of the fort. There were some things that she could not ask them to do.

I originally wanted to exploit Chu Yu's labor force to make the best use of his talents and resources.

Who knew Chu Yu was so useful? The more I use it, the more convenient it becomes.

Wei Xiyin sighed.

At that time, outside the city, after Mr. Hu came out, Chu Yu suddenly hid in the group of soldiers, obviously not wanting the other party to discover his whereabouts.

She naturally wanted to fulfill his wish.

It can also be seen from this that Chu Yu had no idea that Mr. Hu was in Zhongshan State, otherwise he would not have suggested following her into the palace when making the plan.

But what is the reason behind this?

Who is that Mr. Hu?

What is their relationship?

A lot of question marks popped up in Wei Xiyin's mind.

Chu Yu used to be the counselor of the King of Changsha, and this Mr. Hu looks like Yuan Sanlang's confidant. How do they know each other?

Wei Xiyin stared at the rows of small wooden boxes, tapping her fingers.
