Chapter 502 503 [Crossing the Sea]
Xiang Nan knew that Fukang'an and He Shen had been staring at him, and there must be spies outside the door at this moment.
As soon as Miss Xiangyun entered Ji's Mansion, He Shen and Fu Kang'an had received the news.
So if you don't hurry up and get the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions" first, if there is a delay, they will have time to dispatch troops. When the time comes to pick up the manuscript, it will be like throwing yourself into a trap and getting the stolen goods.
"Miss Xiangyun, can you tell Ji, where is "Dream of Red Mansions" hidden at this moment?" Xiang Nan asked.
"Although it has been windy and rainy for a long time, how have you ever heard the sound of the Brahma bell." Xiangyun said faintly.
"What a mess! If Mr. asks you, you can just say it straight, what's the point?" Du Xiaoyue couldn't help but said angrily when she saw her hiding her head and showing her tail.
"Xiaoyue, don't be rude~" Xiang Nan smiled and waved his hands, "It turns out that the manuscript is hidden in the Brahma Temple in the west of the city! Wonderful, a book that describes the love between men and women in the world is actually hidden in a Buddhist temple that is completely empty. Miss Xiangyun Really extraordinary~"
"Mr. Ji is really clever." Xiang Yun also said in surprise, she didn't expect Xiang Nan to guess her riddle so easily, it was really amazing.
"The abbot of Fantian Temple is Mr. Xueqin's best friend during his lifetime, and a close friend." She explained again.
"Xueqin has feelings, how can a monk be unrighteous! The abbot of Fantian Temple really has a heart to preserve his posthumous works for his best friend." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Mr. is indeed Mr. Xueqin's bosom friend. It would be really great if you could have known each other before you were alive." Seeing that Xiang Nan understands Cao Xueqin so well, Xiangyun couldn't help saying moved.
"Yeah, I also hate being close to Mr. Xueqin." Xiang Nan sighed, "Okay, it's not too late, Miss Xiangyun, follow me to Gaobeidian in the east of the city. Xiaoyue, take me Miss Xiangyun's token, go to the Fantian Temple in the west of the city to find the host."
"Sir, what are you and Miss Xiangyun doing in Gaobeidian?" Du Xiaoyue asked suspiciously.
"I expected that people from Fukang'an and He Shen would be watching in front of the door at this moment. Miss Xiangyun and I went to the east of the city, just to lure them away. In this way, Xiaoyue, you can act calmly." Xiang Nan explained.
"Mr. is indeed a great talent." Xiangyun said with admiration, "Since that's the case, I will write a letter in hand and give it to Miss Xiaoyue."
…
Afterwards, Xiangyun wrote a letter and handed it to Xiaoyue, "Miss Xiaoyue, you only need to hand this letter to the abbot, and he will give you all the manuscripts."
"Xiaoyue, after getting the manuscript, don't go to the Siku Pavilion, but send it to the Compassion Palace first." Xiang Nan instructed again.
"Sir, why is this?" Xiangyun and Xiaoyue didn't understand.
"He Shen is very smart, I can think of hiding books in the Sikuguan, and he will definitely think of it." Xiang Nan explained, "At that time, as long as he sets up an ambush in the Sikuguan, he can wait for the rabbit and catch the turtle in the urn.
So we did the opposite and sent the book to the palace. The Empress Dowager is now in Tai'an, and only eunuchs and maids are left in the Compassionate Ning Palace, so it is very safe to hide the book there.
After a few days, He Shen and Fu Kang'an lost their guard. At that time, I will bring the manuscript of "A Dream of Red Mansions" into the Siku Museum. "
"Sir, you are too careful, I don't believe that He Shen is so smart." Du Xiaoyue curled her lips and said, in her opinion, He Shen is just an incompetent fat man.
Xiang Yun also had some doubts about it.
"Hey, don't underestimate He Shen, he is a stupid person who can be the chief assistant of a military aircraft." Xiang Nan reminded, "Okay, Xiaoyue, whether you believe it or not, you must listen to Mr. of."
"Okay." Du Xiaoyue nodded.
"Miss Xiangyun, you and I will leave for Gaobeidian immediately." Xiang Nan then said to Xiangyun.
…
From the moment the two of them walked out of the house, just as Xiang Nan said, they were targeted by spies sent by Fukang'an.
Seeing that they hired a carriage to go to the east of the city, someone immediately went back to report.
Fu Kang'an received the news, immediately shocked, and immediately ran to Hefu to announce the good news.
"My lord, Ji Xiaolan and Xiangyun went to the east of the city and hired a large carriage, which is said to be going to Gaobeidian." He said with a smile, "In my opinion, he must have gone to pick up the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions."
"It makes sense." He Shen nodded, otherwise, why would Xiang Nan hire a car for no reason.
"Then I will send troops to Gaobeidian immediately and take them down in one fell swoop." Fukangan said immediately.
"Hey, that's not necessary. I expect that after Ji Xiaolan gets back the manuscript, she will definitely hide it in the Siku Pavilion. It's a trick to hide it." He Shen waved his hand and smiled, "My brother just needs to take someone to wait in the Siku Pavilion."
"My lord, why are you so sure that Ji Xiaolan will hide the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions" in the Siku Pavilion?" Fukang'an asked puzzled.
"Hey, brother, haven't you heard the truth that the small hermit hides in the wild, and the big hermit hides in the court?" He Shen said with a smile, "The Siku library has over ten thousand books, which are as vast as a sea of smoke. Several manuscripts of "Dream of Red Mansions" are hidden in it. Finding it is like finding a needle in a haystack. Ji Xiaolan is so smart, she will never miss this point."
"My lord is really smart, even Ji Xiaolan is no match for you." Fu Kang'an said admiringly.
…
Du Xiaoyue took Xiangyun's handwriting and rushed to Fantian Temple. After meeting the abbot, she explained her intentions.
"Amitabha, this letter is indeed in Miss Xiangyun's handwriting. If that's the case, please come with me, the benefactor." After reading the letter, the host nodded and said, and then brought Xiaoyue to the Buddhist scriptures pavilion to hand over the manuscript of "A Dream of Red Mansions". Take it out.
Xiaoyue then ordered people to load into the car and sent it all the way to the Compassionate Ning Palace.
Because the Queen Mother doted on her and treated her like a daughter, she often sent some small things to the palace to honor the Queen Mother, so the eunuchs and maids did not suspect it.
…
Xiang Nan walked around the east of the city with Xiangyun, filled two big pockets, then drove back to the city and went straight to the Siku Pavilion.
As soon as I arrived at the Siku Pavilion, before I got out of the car, I saw a large group of soldiers pouring out from all directions.
"Mr. Ji, Fu has been waiting for a long time!" Fu Kang'an stepped forward and said triumphantly.
When Xiangyun saw it, he couldn't help being surprised, and sincerely admired Xiang Nan's intelligence.
If he hadn't thought about it before and reminded Xiaoyue to send the manuscript to the palace, once it was shipped to the Siku Pavilion, it would really be sending sheep into the household registration.
"Oh, Mr. Fu is so leisurely, instead of catching the rebels, he is waiting for me here instead. Could it be that he has something to do with Ji?" Xiang Nan laughed.
"Mr. Ji, what I want to catch is the traitor." Fukang'an said with a smile, "The Holy Majesty ordered me to search for the anti-book "Dream of Red Mansions". Mr. Ji, what is in your car?"
"Master Fu suspects that I have hidden anti-books?" Xiang Nan frowned, "Master Fu, this crime is a terrible crime."
"It's good that Mr. Ji knows." Fu Kang'an sneered, "Come on, search!"
"Master Fu, there is absolutely no anti-crime in Ji's car. You searched my car for no reason and humiliated me. I will never let you go. I will definitely write a letter to participate in the performance with you!" Xiang Nan scolded.
"Okay." Fu Kang'an said timidly, he is the emperor's favorite, so he will not be afraid of Xiang Nan.
