Muchen traveled day and night, and rushed to the capital quickly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he arrived at the capital of the Southern Dynasty, Mu Chen really felt what a metropolis was. The capital of the Southern Dynasty was nearly hundreds of miles larger than that of the Western Dynasty, and the flow of people was much denser than that of the Western Dynasty, which also showed that the Southern Dynasty was stronger than the Western Dynasty from another aspect. It's just that the situation on the streets is less peaceful and comfortable than that of the Western Dynasty.

Mu Chen walked on the street, looking around, it was noon, Mu Chen decided to find an inn to live in, rest, and wait until the evening to go to the palace to check the situation first, in case everyone entered the palace but was at a loss in the huge palace.

Mu Chen found an inn to live in, walked to the counter, and asked the shopkeeper who was settling accounts, "Shopkeeper, excuse me" The shopkeeper looked at Mu Chen, and quickly smiled and asked, "Childe, what is the matter with you?" Mu Chen smiled and said, "May I ask how far this palace is from here?" The shopkeeper smiled and said, "It's not far, walk fifty miles east to reach the palace" Mu Chen smiled and said, "Thank you" The shopkeeper asked again, "I don't know why Gongzi asked this?"

Mu Chen thought for a while and said, "I have something to do to find someone in the palace," the shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "Childe, I look at you, let's go find someone after a while," Mu Chen asked, "Why?" The shopkeeper said, "Recently, this palace is not peaceful." Our emperor is critically ill, and the second prince wants to usurp the throne, but I heard that this second prince colluded with Dongying Haikou, so he was arrested" Mu Chen had already known about this, but still pretended to be surprised and said, "What?

The shopkeeper said, "This kind of thing has nothing to do with our little people, but this second prince has raised a group of barbarians on the rivers and lakes, and it is rumored in this city that this group of people is going to save the second prince, I think this group of barbarians can't beat the masters in the palace" Mu Chen heard this, and quickly asked, "Oh?

Mu Chen's eyes moved, he was silent for a long time, and the shopkeeper said, "So, son, you still have to wait for this period of time to be in the limelight and look for someone, if you don't get it right, you will lose your life" Mu Chen smiled and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for reminding" After speaking, he turned around and walked out the door.

Mu Chen thought as he walked east, "Who will it be?" If there are three masters like this, then it is necessary for me to re-plan" Mu Chen thought and walked slowly. Because it was still early in the dark, Mu Chen ate a bowl of noodles on the way there, and continued to walk slowly until the evening, when Mu Chen saw the figure of the palace.

Slowly walking towards the palace, there was a checkpoint five or six miles away from the palace, guarded by more than a dozen soldiers, everyone seemed to be very energetic, and did not dare to relax at all. Mu Chen smiled, "This Xiao Wenchong is really careful enough," and then slowly walked towards the level.

When Mu Chen walked to the front of the checkpoint, a soldier stopped him and asked, "You, what are you doing?" Mu Chen smiled and said, "This official, I'm here to find someone" The soldier shouted, "Who are you looking for, don't you know when it will be now? Get out" After speaking, he stretched out his hand to push Mu Chen.

The soldier had to push Mu Chen's body, but instead of pushing Mu Chen, his hand was grabbed by Mu Chen, and asked in a panic, "What are you doing?" Mu Chen said, "I just want to find someone," and the other soldier said angrily, "Didn't you hear Lao Tzu speak, get out" said and pulled out the knife at his waist and put it on Mu Chen's neck. Mu Chen let go of the soldier who grabbed him, and said, "Okay, I'll go" After speaking, taking advantage of the slack expression of the soldier who drew the knife, he performed a virtual cloud step, knocking out all seven or eight soldiers in an instant.

Because this place is close to the palace, ordinary people dare not approach, so no one saw the scene just now, Mu Chen pulled the soldiers to the grass on the side, took off one person's clothes and put them on, and swaggered towards the palace.

Mu Chen walked for a short time, and arrived at the gate of the palace, and the soldiers guarding the gate saw Mu Chen, stepped forward and asked, "You don't look at the checkpoint well, what are you doing here?" Mu Chen knew that the other party didn't recognize him, and hurriedly said, "There is a kid, I have to break in, I want to go and tell the prince"

When the soldier guarding the gate heard this, he hurriedly said, "What? How did you come so quickly?" and then hurriedly said to Mu Chen, "You go to the prince and ask him to send someone" and then said to another gatekeeper, "You, come with me" The other person nodded, and walked towards the checkpoint for two days, leaving Mu Chen alone at the door.

Mu Chen thought to himself, "Why did he say it so quickly, did he know when Qiu Zetian would come? There was a spy?" But the current situation made Mu Chen think too much, and hurriedly ran towards the palace.

I have to say that the Southern Dynasty is indeed much more powerful than the Western Dynasty, and even the imperial palace is much larger than the Western Dynasty Imperial Palace, and the route is more complicated, as far as the eye can see, there are all rows of courtyards, and there are several gorgeous houses in each courtyard. After a while, Mu Chen got lost in this labyrinthine palace.

Mu Chen walked for a long time, but he walked more and more chaotic, until the sun set, Mu Chen walked to a dead end, looking at the dead end in front of him, Mu Chen sighed and said, "Forget it, I still wait until the night when everyone sleeps and walks from above" After speaking, he found a hidden place around and sat down and waited.

At the same time, Mu Chen heard the sound of a soldier shouting, as if he was looking for himself again, it seemed that the soldier just now had found out that he was a fake. Mu Chen thought to himself, "I don't know where I am, I don't believe you can find me"

Slowly it was dark, and the palace gradually became quiet, and the voices of the palace maids, eunuchs, and soldiers gradually disappeared. Mu Chen looked around, it was pitch black, and he thought it was time. So he jumped up and jumped onto the wall.

Standing on the city wall is naturally farther than looking below, which once again made Mu Chen appreciate the magnificence of the palace, and said in his heart, "This posture, the two Western Palaces can't compare" After speaking, he smiled slightly, and started to act.

In the palace, a dark figure jumps around the house, moving swiftly and delicately, without making a sound. This dark shadow is wood dust.

Mu Chen almost walked around the palace, but he didn't find any heavy soldiers, and every place was very normal, which made him very sad. The palace was very large, and the wood dust was all over and over again, and he was already tired and panting, and his mouth was dry. Mu Chen found a roof and sat down, panting, thinking to himself, "It would be nice if there was wine now" As soon as the words fell, he heard a panicked voice from under him. Mu Chen was very strange, could there be someone arguing in the palace at night? After speaking, he jumped off the roof, went to the door, and secretly looked inside from the window paper.
