Chapter 186: Confinement

The king's chamberlain took the little six sons and went out of the dining room with the food. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Ming Zhao came out from behind the barrel and hurriedly sneaked up to follow.

This royal chamberlain is the head of the dining room, and the person who can let him personally deliver the meal will definitely not be an ordinary person. But it's leftovers and rancid vegetables, which makes people scratch their heads, what's going on?

Wang Neishou didn't know that there was someone behind him, so he just took Xiao Liuzi and walked forward, and soon came to the gate of Beiyuan.

He knocked on the door, but it didn't open, and a hole appeared in the wall next to it. The king's chamberlain instructed Xiao Liuzi to put the food at the entrance of the cave, and soon, some bowls and plates were pushed out inside. Xiao Liuzi carefully put it into the tray he brought, looked at it through the faint moonlight, and said in surprise: "Grandpa, yesterday's meal was not touched!"

"Hmph! It's all over this field, and you're still carrying it?" the king's chamberlain spat at the gate, then turned and left, "Let's go! It's better not to eat! Hurry up and starve to death, lest I have to run like this every day!"

Xiao Liuzi didn't dare to make a sound, followed him with dishes and plates, and walked in the direction of the dining room.

When they were far away, Ming Zhao came out of the shadow of the trees beside the road, he looked at Beiyuan suspiciously, the map that Boss Miao gave him said that this is a sacrificial palace, why are there still people locked up inside?

He walked to the door and found that the lock had been filled with lead and could not be opened at all. He went to the hole where Xiao Liuzi took the dishes just now, reached out and touched it, it turned out that he had made a hole in the wall, which was blocked by a wooden board. It seems that this person is confined inside, relying only on this small hole to deliver food.

Ming Zhao decided to go into the North Garden to see who was imprisoned here. He walked around the palace wall and finally found a large tree in the northeast corner with a crown higher than the palace wall. He immediately flew up the tree, then crouched among the branches to observe what was going on below.

The North Garden was originally a palace used for sacrifices, so there are few flowers and trees in it, and most of the ground is paved with stone slabs, which is convenient for people to stand during the sacrifice. At this moment, it was dark in the main hall, only a small side hall to the west was lit, and two heavily armed guards stood at the entrance of the side hall, and another group of guards patrolled along the palace wall.

The guards are now tight, and there must be very important people locked up inside, and Ming Zhao wants to go in and have a look. He hid quietly in the trees, studied the frequency of the escort patrols, and found that they were not patrolling all the time, but came out to patrol about half an hour, and rested in the small side hall to the south the rest of the time. The two guards at the door change shifts every hour, and they seem to be very conscientious.

Ming Zhao waited until late at night, and the guards were a little slack, so they went down to the tree to pick up some stones on their bodies, and then returned to the tree. When the patrolling escort returned to the south hall, and estimated that it was about to fall asleep, they threw a stone and smashed it into the roof of the main hall.

The stones and tiles struck each other, making a "Karakala" sound, which startled the two guards at the gate of the west hall, and they immediately cried out. The sleeping guards hurriedly got up and rushed out, "What's the matter? Is there an assassin?"

"There's movement over there in the hall!"

The guards hurriedly went to the main hall to check, but they didn't see anything unusual, and suddenly they heard a cat meow, and they all laughed, "It turned out to be a wild cat, what a fuss!

They laughed at the two guards at the door, and went back to sleep.

Who knows, just after falling asleep, the two guards shouted again, saying that there was movement in the hall again. The guards hurriedly took their knives and went over to check, and when they heard a cat meow, they all blew their beards and glared angrily, "This damn night cat, when I find you tomorrow, I will slaughter you!"

The two guards were embarrassed to see that it was a night cat again.

"I said, you two, it's better to be bold, but it's just a wild cat, and you always make such a fuss and don't let us rest?

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

"Humph!"

Ming Zhao watched the guards complain to each other, and laughed in his heart. He remembered the last time he went to the border of the Fire Phoenix Country, Feng Shanyue told him a story about chickens and dog thieves. At that time, he thought that these people were just small insect carving skills, but when he really used them now, he found them really useful.

In the next hour, the "wild cat" tossed a few more times, and the two guards did not dare to bark again, for fear of arguing with the guards again and being complained by them again. But they were scared enough, and they both huddled together.

"Uh...... I said, "Looks like it's time for a shift, right?"

"Yes...... yes, but they seem to be asleep, and no one comes to replace us!"

"No matter, let's call them over there!"

"Okay!

The two guards hurriedly ran to the south hall to call the substitutes to get up, and Ming Zhao saw the right time and flew into the west hall. After a while, the two guards came over scolding, yawning all the way, as if they had been woken up from a sweet dream, and they were very unhappy.

"It's really tiring to stay up late every day and keep watch every day!"

"yes, what else can an old man do? I really don't know what the above thinks, and he actually sent so many people to guard such a person. ”

"Yes, the point is that he was imprisoned, and we were also imprisoned. The door was sealed, and there was no way to get out. ”

"Now we can only get out of this Beiyuan if this old man dies soon!"

"I don't know who this old man is, and the above actually attaches so much importance to him. ”

"I don't know, no one who was sent in with a mask has ever seen his face. The leader told us to keep our mouths shut and ask less, we must be an important person!"

"It doesn't matter what important people he is, we're just a little guard, just do what we are told. ”

"Yes, don't say it, just keep it!" After saying that, the man opened his mouth wide again and yawned loudly.

Ming Zhao listened to it for a long time, and it turned out that these guards didn't know who was locked up in this west hall. And when he looked into the temple, he saw some light shining through the inner sanctum, and it seemed that the people in it had not yet rested.

He approached the inner sanctum lightly and looked inside, only to see the back of an old man with gray hair. He was looking at a book by the faint light.

"Your Majesty, it's already ugly, it's time to rest! If you don't rest, this body can't stand it!" An old voice came from the side, and Ming Zhao stretched out his head to see that there was an old chamberlain standing in the dark shadow next to him.

Wait, just now he called the old man "Junshang"? There is only one person in this palace who can be called like that, and that is his father. Could it be that this old man is the real Shang Jun? The person who summoned the Fire Phoenix King that day was indeed a fake!

Ming Zhao looked at the old man's straight back, even though he looked very weak, he didn't bend up. The old chamberlain whispered to him to rest, but he just shook his head gently and raised his hand to stop him.

"I don't have time to sleep right now!"
