Chapter 1303 Very Restrained
"Well said, I forgot to tell you, I'm very reserved"
Before the words fell, Yichen stretched out his hand, grabbed the little leader's wrist, took it back, and asked sharply, "Who are you and what is your purpose?"
Looking at the little leader's troubled appearance, Yichen couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.infoc
If even the inner hall of the palace is heavily guarded, there are spies peeping at everything, wouldn't there be more side halls?
Moreover, the conversation between Yichen and Xiahou Mountain only talked about the Beast Control Mansion, and the matter related to Piaoyao's disappearance was not a big secret.
With Xiahou Mountain's character, if there is something unspeakable, even if it is inconvenient to say it explicitly, it is always okay to hint at it.
Why bother so much to get a small leader of the guards, like a thief.
The most critical point is that no one will know Yichen's purpose of looking for Xiahou Mountain, but the little boss in front of him is very clear.
Also, when Yichen and the errand officer passed through the gate of the inner hall and saw this little leader of the guards for the first time, he was already very interested in Yichen, and even complimented him to the fullest.
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!
"Captain Ahyoyi, I am the captain of the guard, and I am acting on orders for no other purpose. ”
was caught by Yichen, and the little boss didn't even have the intention of resisting, just screaming in pain.
The cultivation of a high-level powerhouse is nothing in front of Yichen, and he can be killed casually.
The little boss looked innocent and looked at Yichen stupidly, as if he was accusing Yichen of being too cautious.
"On whose orders, don't tell me that it's His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Yichen's hand was slightly forced, and a stream of energy penetrated into the other party's body, causing the little leader to roll in a cold sweat, baring his teeth and wailing.
"Kill me. "Maybe he knew that the disparity in strength was too great, and the little boss didn't have the luck to fight, but just screamed and begged for death.
Although it was only a trace of the king's breath, and he had no intention of crushing the other party, the little boss really couldn't stand the intrusion in his body, and his muscles spasmed all over his body, and his internal organs were like thousands of ants biting.
The pain in the heart, the stiffness of the body, and even the nerves were disturbed, making the little boss feel that death was coming.
"Are you really not afraid of death?" Yichen was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously.
Giving him a little hardship is because he wants to know where the little boss comes from, since it is not sent by Xiahou Mountain, the people behind the scenes must have other intentions.
From entering the outer hall of the palace to now, it has only been a few hours, Yichen has not had a holiday with anyone, and even the only person he really knows is Xiahou Mountain.
The small boss pretended to pass on the order of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the target was obviously Yichen, as for what purpose he wanted to achieve, he could only open a gap in the small leader.
"I'm afraid of death, but it's also death. The little boss's face was already distorted, and the pain was so intense that it was unbearable for him.
"To be honest, I can consider not killing you, after all, this is the palace. Yichen said coldly, his hands relaxed a little.
The person in front of him is a little minion at most, it doesn't matter if he kills or not, if he digs out the person who instructed him, Yichen can judge who the other party is and what his intentions are.
"I said please, don't kill me. ”
The little leader's face was pale, beads of sweat rolled down, and he explained tremblingly:
"My wife and children were taken away, and someone sent me a letter to complete a task, saying that after the matter was completed, my wife and children were released and a sum of money was returned."
The other party did not identify himself, but just asked the little boss to wait for Yichen outside the inner hall of the palace and pass a message to Yichen.
"When was your wife and children taken away, and when did you receive the task, let me see your sincerity that you don't want to die. ”
Yichen secretly increased the strength of his hand, causing the little leader who had just relieved the pain to wail again.
The words of the little boss don't sound credible, in just a few hours, even if something happens to his family, he himself is still on duty, and it is a forbidden place in the palace, who has the courage to dare to come over and say these things blatantly.
Besides, no one knows whether Yichen will believe the words of the little boss or not, why do they think that the little boss can complete the task.
"I told the truth, my wife and children were arrested for half a month, they assigned me tasks every three or five times, the first few times I just let people into the inner hall of the palace, I did as required.
Today, just before you and the messenger entered the inner sanctum, I heard a message from me."
Although the small boss has completed several missions, he has never met the person who issued the mission, and all the contact is carried out through secret transmission.
As soon as he received the task, he saw Yichen come in, and the little boss looked at the name on the token, which was exactly what the other party said about Yichen, and couldn't help but compliment Yichen a few times at that time, the purpose was to give Yichen a good impression in order to complete the task successfully.
"Who have you let into the palace?" Yichen felt that the people behind the scenes were not easy to deal with, so he wanted to investigate from the side.
"There are three people in total, they don't say their names, they are all wearing the official uniforms of Xia Li Kingdom, and they don't seem to have high positions. ”
The little leader tried his best to recall, wanting to provide Yichen with a little credibility: "By the way, at least two of them have the aura of a strong man who should be a war king above the peak of the battle commander, and they are powerful." ”
With the cultivation strength of the small leader, it is difficult to define the gap between the peak of the battle commander and the aura of the strong man of the war king, so it is not a lie.
According to the laws of the Xia Li Kingdom, officials who have not been notified by the rank of the Celebrant Office are not allowed to enter the inner hall of the palace without permission, unless they are summoned by a prince or His Majesty the King.
Yichen finally arrived at the department's reporting office, but he almost couldn't get the report, if it weren't for the dispute between Vice General Cao and Luan Sima, maybe he would have to rack his brains to find a way now.
Officials also said that there is no precedent for a notification method like Yichen in the Xia Li Kingdom, which shows that it is not easy for ordinary people to enter the inner hall of the palace.
It would be a good means to force him to bend the law by controlling the family of the small boss and putting the people the other party needed into the inner sanctum.
The point is that the other party never shows up, only commanding the small boss with a sound transmission, and no matter what the outcome of the matter is, they have nothing to lose.
"Tell me about today's task carefully. ”
can't care about the previous things, but Yichen must know what benefits the other party wants to get from him.
"If Captain Yi is looking for someone, you can go to the vicinity of the side hall, and someone will guide you."
The transmission received by the little leader roughly means: Yichen, the leader of the Sanying Mercenary Group, asked to see His Royal Highness the Prince, and the purpose should be to inquire about the whereabouts of a certain person.
Let the little boss tell Yichen that someone will provide clues, but Yichen has to wait in a small pavilion in the side hall of the palace, and if he is afraid of death, don't go.
In addition, let the little boss use the reason that His Royal Highness the prince is inconvenient to say it clearly, and lead Yichen over, if it is exposed, he will tell the truth according to the sound of transmission.
"Did they say who I'm looking for?"
While Yichen asked, his brain was running rapidly.
I wanted to find Piaoyao, except for Ning Lan and Xiao Wu, I only told Liu Hao and Gong Lao, and I didn't mention it to others.
In addition, if you pay attention to this matter and know the whereabouts of Piaoyao, you will only be left with the Beast Control Mansion.
Could it be that Autumn Leaves sent a message in advance, asking people to notify the little boss and arrange this task.
"I didn't say it, but I mentioned that this person was what Captain Yi had to find. ”
The little leader shook his head and said cautiously.
Hearing this, Yichen suddenly became suspicious, and intuitively judged that this was a trap.
The little leader's words were too mysterious, as if someone was following Yichen, and the information provided was also what Yichen wanted to know urgently.
Whether the small boss in front of him was instructed by someone or had other intentions cannot be said in a single sentence.
Generally speaking, most of the reasons for begging for mercy are that the family has an 80-year-old mother with an infant baby, hoping to get the sympathy of the other party, so as to give themselves a chance to live.
What the little boss said about the abduction of his wife and children is much the same as the conventional reason, whether it is true or not, it is difficult to determine.
Regardless of whether the petty boss is instructed or not, the opponent who has not yet shown his face is not easy to deal with.
Yichen felt that the other party was near the side hall, dug a trap, and waited for him to jump down.
To go, or not to go?
If you leave at this moment, no matter what the other party's purpose is, at least you can't use Yichen.
Before entering the inner hall of the palace, it was with the permission of His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as there was no special reason, Yichen would not be threatened.
On the contrary, if you go to the vicinity of the side hall, it is very likely to fall into a crisis, and the specific consequences are too serious for Yichen to predict.
However, facing an unknown enemy is a very painful thing, and even if Yichen leaves safely, it is difficult to ensure that the opponent can stop.
More importantly, since the other party guessed Yichen's intention, it means that they are either Piaoyao's friends or sent by the person who attacked Piaoyao.
If it is really a distant friend, who can enter and leave the palace at will, it seems that there is no need to be tricky.
Of course, Yichen can't be ruled out, some people know the news, but they don't dare to say it easily, only when Yichen arrives, and then say it in person.
Whether it is friend or foe, the other side has grasped the distant news, and only by continuing can we find out the truth of the facts.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, Yichen has made up his mind, and said: "Lead the way, go to the small pavilion in the side hall!"
Seeing Yichen's grim face, the little leader couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
He is now in a situation where he stretches out his head and shrinks his head, and if he can't complete the task, his wife and children will definitely not be able to come back, but when he really arrives near the side hall, once the two sides fight each other, his cultivation can only be resigned to fate.
The little leader walked forward tremblingly, looking around as he walked, and Yichen slowly followed behind.
Both of them are slow, the little boss is scared, and Yichen is adjusting to his surroundings and watching out for possible surprises.
However, the two-mile journey actually took half an hour, and it was simply a turtle moving forward.
