Today's Zhaojing is really like a tiger's den and a dragon's pond. Ling Duanshang noticed the presence of many immortal cultivators here. Fortunately, he was here as Liu Chengzhi's bodyguard. If he entered by force, he would have already alerted the enemy.
After entering the gate and looking at the familiar scenery, Ling Duanshang couldn't help but sigh at the white clouds and gray dogs, and the fact that things are different and people are different. Liu Chengzhi was arranged at a post station in the capital. He planned to go to the palace immediately for an audience, but he was told that the emperor's body was unwell and could not be disturbed, so he had to wait until the morning of the next day to go to the palace. At this time, it was time for Ling Duanshang to take action.
Ling Duanshang changed out of his guard uniform and went out in casual clothes. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he noticed that he was being watched. He was unmoved and walked straight out. Ling Duanshang walked eastward, feeling that he was being followed all the time. He deliberately asked some passers-by, but what he asked was where the largest fireworks place in Zhaojing was. After a while, he arrived at a magnificent place with flowers falling on the lintel. , looked up at the three golden characters "Xunhua Tower" hanging high and eye-catching.
Although it is still early and not yet the time to attract customers in the world of mortals, Xunhua Tower is so famous all over the country. Many people from all over the world come here because of its reputation. Even at this time, many people come here to have fun. Ling Duanshang As soon as he stepped through the door, a gorgeous middle-aged bustard came to greet him.
Although he had not been to this land of fireworks and mortals for several years, Ling Duanshang was a seasoned expert. He tossed a silver dollar casually, pulled one girl, then another, into his arms. He was very familiar with the girls. After greeting him, he went to the innermost guest room.
"Your Excellency, you are overly worried! As the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. As soon as Liu Chengzhi's guards entered Zhaojing, they came to Xunhua Tower. It seems that Liu Chengzhi is not a gentleman anywhere!" Not far from Xunhua Tower. A sneer came from around the corner, and when he saw Ling Duanshang hugging him from left to right, the man dressed as a porter behind the corner immediately turned around and left.
Ling Duanshang was going upstairs at this time, and the corner of his mouth curled up. The evil energy in his body had already dissipated. With his current strength in the evil condensation stage, he could detect the situation within a few tens of feet nearby even without using the evil energy. However, just in case, Ling Duanshang released the evil energy. The situation of Two Baizhang suddenly became clear to his mind.
"There are no cultivators!" Immediately, Ling Duanshang found one of the people he was looking for in Xunhua Tower - the Minister of Punishment, a dog under Gou Zihua.
After entering the wing, Ling Duanshang looked at the two women. The pupils of his eyes shrank and turned into two vertical shapes. The two women's applications suddenly became dull, and then they both smiled sweetly and gestured towards a blank Taishi chair. The whole room suddenly became lively, and the situation was indescribably strange.
Ling Duanshang walked out of the wing with an expressionless expression. When he stepped down, his whole body suddenly turned into a wisp of breeze, using the basic swordsmanship - the return wind style. This sword technique is not conducive to performing in such a small space. Fortunately, there were not many people in Xunhua Building at this time, so Ling Duanshang only had to hide his figure and walked to the door of the wing where Luo Huan, the Minister of Punishment, was located.
Ling Duanshang walked in in a flash, but he didn't know that the room was already covered in white flowers and a fierce battle was going on. No one noticed Ling Duanshang's appearance.
It was just right, Ling Duanshang raised his hand to grab it. A huge suction force directly grabbed Luo Huan, who was as fat as a pig on the bed, in front of him, and at the same time, he used the evil spirit illusion. Everyone present was enchanted.
With Luo Huan¡¯s willpower, he knew what he knew under Ling Duanshang¡¯s evil spirit illusion, but it was a pity that Ling Duanshang did not find out from him the place where Ling Tiancheng was imprisoned.
It seems that the only option is to enter the palace!
Ling Duanshang then returned to the inn, and as he approached the inn, the feeling of being followed appeared again.
The golden crow descends to the west, the jade rabbit rises to the east, and the whole night is uneventful.
¡¡
The next day, Liu Chengzhi and his party took a bath and changed clothes, and then entered the Zhaojing Palace for the morning court.
Sui Weishi and other guards were naturally left in a courtyard outside the second palace gate, while Liu Chengzhi entered the inner palace alone. Since entering the palace, Ling Duanshang has noticed that the security here is even tighter, and he can detect the presence of immortal cultivators at any time. However, these immortal cultivators have not yet reached the stage of becoming gods and have magical powers such as clairvoyance that can detect distant places, so Ling Duanshang Duan Shang was not worried at all.
Not long after Liu Yushang left, the other courtyard where Sui Weishao and others were staying became lively. However, it was because the eunuch who came to deliver the meal was too domineering, which aroused the anger of top masters such as Nan Mang Shuangxia. The palace chamberlain must come to apologize.
All countries in the world respect martial arts, and they respect the top warriors such as the ultimate warriors. Although the two knights of Nanmang have no actual official titles, in Weiguo, according to the decrees issued by the imperial court, they are equivalent to the second rank. . These eunuchs may have relied on the influence of the Prime Minister, and naturally they would not be too friendly to these people who came to participate in the performance, but this also played into Ling Duanshang's way.
The whole courtyard was extremely lively at this time, and Du Li, one of the two heroes of Nanmang, showed extreme expressions at this time.His temper caused the roof of a wing to be lifted off, and a group of eunuchs huddled in the corner, trembling. And during this chaotic time, no one noticed that a guard disappeared for a while.
Soon after the housekeeper arrived, the anger of Sui Weishao and others gradually subsided.
I don't know where Liu Chengzhi's memorial was transmitted. In short, he did not see Emperor Wenhua today. He just returned to the inn with a cold face after being ridiculed by the civil and military officials in the morning. Even the Prime Minister Gou Zihua's Couldn't even see him face to face. Yushi Liu was obviously of a very strong temper, and he informed everyone that he would stay here until he could meet the emperor.
"What should you do with your nephew?" Nie Bing turned to Du Li and asked.
"My nephew has been feeling a little unwell lately, so I will stay here and follow Mr. Liu!" Du Li said with a smile.
Ling Duanshang is known to the outside world as Du Li's nephew. He has reached the peak level at a young age, and even Du Li is no match for him. At this time, the so-called nephew was naturally the guard in the palace courtyard who had been transferred.
At the end of the night, the guards of the imperial palace changed their guard. Ling Duanshang, who had been guarding the other courtyard for a day, headed towards the barracks where the guards were resting.
The guards of the Imperial Palace of Weiguo are the ones who protect the safety of the entire palace, so their resting barracks are also in this vast palace.
Late at night, a gust of breeze blew by, and the door of the military camp slowly opened and then closed quickly. Under the shadow of the distant wall, a figure seemed to appear out of thin air. It was naturally Ling Duanshang.
Night, no moon.
Ling Duanshang carefully released the evil spirit. Although he was only in the Condensing Evil Stage, which was equivalent to the Spirit Silence Stage of immortal cultivators, he could possess the clairvoyance that could only be used in the Divine Transformation Stage. Although it was very different, it was better than ordinary people. There are too many benefits for cultivators. However, the evil spirit is a killing energy, which can be detected by cultivators with a higher state of mind. Ling Duanshang can only release very thin evil energy to avoid being noticed.
After checking that there was no immortal cultivator nearby, Ling Duanshang immediately jumped up and landed on the roof. He did not use his Yuan Power to control the air. If he disturbed the Yuan Qi of this area, he would definitely be noticed.
??????????????????? However, Ling Duanshang¡¯s body skills are extremely high, his body transformed into wind and quickly moved on the roof, and he used a concealment talisman, making it almost impossible for ordinary people to detect it.
Fortunately, Ling Duanshang was not aware of the presence of immortal cultivators along the way. According to his previous memories, he quickly reached Emperor Wenhua's palace with his body skills. Landing on the roof of the palace, two gray lights flashed in Ling Duanshang's eyes. The glazed tiles on the roof of the palace suddenly turned into nothing, and several groups of green energy were revealed inside.
There is no breath of life from Emperor Wenhua!
Ling Duanshang frowned. As far as he knew, if there was no Emperor Wenhua in the emperor's palace, then where was he at the moment? If you look for it now, you will undoubtedly be looking for a needle in a haystack in the huge palace.
At this moment, a figure stopped in front of the palace door. Ling Duanshang took a closer look and recognized this person as the housekeeper he saw today.
Ling Duanshang turned into a breeze and flew down quickly. Two monster-like narrow red pupils were revealed in his hidden figure.
The housekeeper suddenly trembled, and then walked out of the palace. Ling Duanshang followed him to an uninhabited place. Without him asking, the housekeeper immediately whispered: "Your Majesty is now in the west palace dormitory. There are only a few guards guarding it.¡±
After Ling Duanshang heard the sound, he moved again, leaped up, and headed towards the west palace dormitory.
The West Palace is a cold palace, but I never thought that the current emperor would go there, and I don¡¯t know if Emperor Wenhua knew where the old man was. However, in this vast palace, Emperor Wenhua was probably the only one who could tell him.
Arriving at the West Palace, the place is really deserted. Emperor Wen Hua must have been kidnapped by Gou Zihua to control the princes. In addition, he is not good at martial arts. Even a guard can easily subdue him. If there are too many guards, it will kill the chicken. Overkill. But this was convenient for Ling Duanshang.
"Squeak¡ª¡ª" A slightly gritty sound of opening the door came, which showed that the West Palace was in disrepair for a long time.
"Get out!" An angry shout came. The weak and weak Emperor Wen Hua turned out to be so fierce at this time, "I have told you that you are not allowed to enter my palace without my permission! My throne has been occupied by you group of rebellious officials and traitors. If you take it away, will you lose even this right?"
Emperor Wenhua was extremely angry.
"But that's right, I thought he was the king of a country, and he was the only one who respected the country. Who knew he was being coerced by traitorous officials, and now he is just a duckweed in the water, unable to control himself.
Hearing the footsteps that were still coming from behind, Emperor Wen Hua suddenly turned his head and stared at the person coming with his eyes wide open. Unexpectedly, he was about to speak, but this person was changing rapidly in his eyes. The skin and facial features on his face were changing, like a clay figure undergoing refinement. He transformed from a rough man into a handsome man.A young man from London.
The surprise in Emperor Wenhua's eyes quickly faded away, and the anger in the depths of his pupils disappeared, turning into helplessness and a sigh.
"It is you."
"Yeah!" Ling Duanshang nodded coldly and said nothing.
When Ling Duanshang fled Zhaojing, Emperor Wenhua was not even forty years old, but now when he saw him, his hair was slanting, and his face looked vicissitudes of life. He had known for a long time that this man would definitely be regarded as a puppet emperor by Gou Zihua, so for Ling Duanshang back then. He did not transfer too much anger to the emperor over the family matter. The purpose of his coming here was just to find out the whereabouts of the old man and the others from Emperor Wen Hua's mouth.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the palace not far away suddenly became lively.
Ling Duanshang frowned, but he heard someone shouting "There is an assassin". Could it be that his whereabouts had been discovered?
