The little girl, though she liked the bell, did not reach out to take it.

She shook her head and said.

"I can't ask for anything from you. ”

Xue Jian smiled and nodded, and hung the bell back on his waist.

"Then when you have done a great job, I will send you again. ”

The sky was getting dark, and Princess Qinglian found a very well-fitting set of eunuch clothes for Xue Jian, a brown-green robe, with a gauze hat.

After Xue saw that he put it on, Princess Qinglian circled around him twice, and looked at him with her arms around her chest.

"It looks pretty good, but your face is too white, and you don't look like a little eunuch in the palace at all. ”

Xue Jian smiled and nodded, took out a transparent and colorless mask from the spatial belt and put it on his face.

Then under the girl's widening eyes, Xue Jian's appearance changed into an ordinary Nanming face, and even his temperament changed.

"That's amazing, what kind of mask are you?"

Princess Qinglian jumped up curiously and excitedly, she thought that this mask was more interesting than a bell.

Xue Jian explained casually, then left the dormitory with Princess Qinglian, and took advantage of the night to go towards the Witch King's Palace.

The Witch King's Palace is located on the north side of the palace, under the 100-meter-high Black Tower.

That area was not only the most sacred place in the Southern Ming Empire, but also a well-known forbidden area, and no one was allowed to set foot except for the people of the Witch King Palace.

As the night deepened, Princess Qinglian was familiar with all the places in the palace, and knew where there would be patrol guards, and that road was rarely walked.

In this way, the two quietly came to the foot of the Witch King's Palace.

The entire palace of the Witch King is separated by a high wall, which is difficult to access except for the gate on the north side.

Princess Qinglian often sneaked into the Witch King's Palace to play when she was a child, so she knew how to get in.

She took Xue Jian to climb up to the roof of a pavilion, and at the location of the roof, she was just enough to jump to the wall not too far away.

Xue Jian saw the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but sweat for this little girl's audacity and naughtiness.

The wall on the opposite side is more than ten meters high, and if you accidentally fall down, the consequences will be unimaginable.

He grabbed Princess Qinglian's wrist and jumped lightly, landing on the opposite wall, where there was a big tree as high as the wall, and she must have slid down this tree before.

Xue Jian took her to land on a branch easily, pressed her left foot on the wall, jumped back and forth a few times, and landed firmly on the ground.

The girl's face was full of excitement and excitement, and she looked up at Xue Jian and said.

"It's amazing, you must be very strong. ”

Xue Jian smiled, didn't answer, and asked rhetorically.

"How do we go next to get to the Witch Temple?"

Princess Qinglian was also very familiar with the road here, so she walked forward with her legs first.

It didn't take long for them to come across a group of wizards who were on patrol or passing by.

Xue saw that his five senses were keen, and he found it early, and immediately took Princess Qinglian to hide on a big tree.

They watched the team of wizards below drift away, and the girl leaned on Xue Jian's side, and for some reason, her nervous heart thumped wildly.

When the people were far away, Princess Qinglian's weak voice sounded.

"The direction they went was where the Witch Temple was. ”

Xue Jian nodded, grabbed her wrist, fell to the ground silently, and followed.

Princess Qinglian's little face was a little rosy with excitement, she had sneaked into the Witch King's Palace before, but it was not as exciting as today.

They followed the wizards all the way, but they didn't meet anyone else on the way, and soon they were near the Black Tower.

On the high altar opposite the Black Tower, there is a majestic and huge golden temple, which is brightly lit and heavily guarded even at night.

The two hid in a shadowy corner in the distance, watching the group of wizards walk towards the Golden Temple.

In front of the Golden Palace, there was a post in five steps, and a post in ten steps, and it was impossible for them to keep up.

Xue Jian carefully observed the surrounding environment, and took Princess Qinglian around to the rear of the Golden Palace, where there were relatively few guards.

"You wait here for me for a while, don't come out. ”

Xue Jian said to Princess Qinglian, and then rushed out at an extremely fast speed, almost at the same moment, he eliminated the three guards standing guard in front.

He hurriedly beckoned, and Princess Qinglian's little heart was beating wildly, and she ran out of the corner excitedly.

Xue Jian pulled her to the corner of the wall behind the Golden Palace, went around to a position that was not easy to find, pushed open a window, and the two of them climbed in.

The golden palace is resplendent and magnificent, with a gold-lacquered wooden pillar that the three of them cannot hug, and the pillar is carved with all kinds of hideous and ferocious poisonous insects and beasts.

Xue Jian took Princess Qinglian to hide behind a golden pillar, and a rather terrifying human-faced spider was carved on the golden pillar.

The two poked their heads out from behind the golden pillar and looked into the center of the main hall, where a group of people were standing.

Xue Jian hurriedly reached out to cover Princess Qinglian's nose and mouth, and gave her a try.

Although the little girl was suddenly covered and a little nervous, she quickly understood what he meant and calmed her breath.

The group of people was not too far away from them, and sometimes, the slightest sound of rapid breathing could alarm the master with a keen five senses.

Xue Jian can do it without breathing, but Princess Qinglian can't.

After a while, the sound of the group of people talking sounded in the main hall.

A man in white standing at the front, with his back to everyone, couldn't see his face, and he said in a cold voice.

"How's it going?

The group of people standing behind him was the group of wizards that Xue Jian had followed before.

One of them said respectfully.

"For the time being, there are no eyebrows, but this matter has nothing to do with the Thousand Machines Pavilion in the black market. ”

The man in white sneered and said.

"These people of the Xuanyuan clan are still so restless, are they not good to be emperors, rich and rich? ”

Hearing this, Princess Qinglian's eyes suddenly widened, but fortunately, Xue Jian was still covering her mouth and didn't make a sound.

The wizard who had just spoken wondered.

"Elder Liufeng, since this Xuanyuan clan has bad intentions, why would the Witch King still connive at them and leave such a hidden danger?"

The man in white slowly turned around, revealing a handsome and extraordinary face.

Looking at his appearance, he is in his early thirties, but the calm bearing between his eyebrows and eyes is very inconsistent with this age.

He looked extremely indifferent and said calmly.

"The Xuanyuan clan has an extraordinary bloodline, and the teacher has been waiting, waiting for a suitable person to appear, as for their careful thoughts, the teacher sees it in his eyes, but he doesn't take it to heart.

As early as the first generation of witch kings to establish the Southern Ming Empire and set up the Xuanyuan clan as the emperor, they fell into a curse that could never be lifted, and all the men of the Xuanyuan clan could not live past the age of forty. ”

These words exploded in Princess Qinglian's ears like a thunderbolt, making her heart boom, her eyes widened, and a shocking wave set off in her heart.

Similarly, Xue Jian was also so shocked that he had a trace of negligence.

Princess Qinglian's heart was beating so fast that it might be difficult for ordinary people to hear, but that Elder Liufeng was not an ordinary person.

He frowned, turned his head, looked at the golden pillar where Xue Jian was hiding, and said coldly.

"Who?"
