The North Palace on the north side of the Wuzhong Palace has no splendid palaces, nor criss-crossing corridors, only courtyards similar to the small courtyards of Xicheng houses. The courtyard is neatly located like a chessboard, and several garden pools are dotted among them.

This is the harem, where the emperor's concubines live. Because the current emperor is the empress, the empress's mother died early, and the old prince's emperor qualifications are not recognized, and the concubines who live here are all concubines from the time of the first emperor, and it has become a veritable cold palace.

In the evening, the sunset fills the sky, and the courtyard rises with cooking smoke. The palace maids and eunuchs wandered around, and the cold palace was transformed into a city full of life. I also have to thank the empress, after she ascended the throne, she drastically changed the rules, and no longer set up a unified Shangshan to supervise the food in the palace. The harem was allowed to cook by themselves, and the concubines of the former emperors at all levels with the word "Tai" finally had the freedom to eat.

However, there is still no freedom of entry and exit in the North Palace, according to the ancestral system, the concubines and concubines are only allowed to go out to visit relatives regularly, and they have to stay in the North Palace to entertain themselves at other times.

Somewhere in the courtyard near the central garden, but no smoke was rising, and a middle-aged eunuch wearing a crown with a missing horn knocked on the courtyard door and heard the faint sound of wooden fish.

The doors and windows of the hall in the courtyard were closed, and faint white light overflowed from the cracks, making the eunuch who knocked on the door again quite uncomfortable, and he could only grit his teeth and barely endure it.

The faint "enter" made the eunuch push the door into the hall, and suddenly released a soft white light, and the eunuch quickly closed the door of the palace and closed the white light in the hall.

In the hall, there is a life-size statue of Zhuliang blue bricks, and it is not surprising that the appearance and clothing are the Zhenwu Emperor who is generally worshiped by the Aurora people.

There was a man kneeling beside the statue, his body covered tightly with a felt cloak, and even when he knocked on the hand of the wooden fish, it was wrapped in thick silk, and there was no trace of skin visible at all.

The eunuch bowed from a distance near the door of the temple, and a lamp radiating a soft white light hung on the beam of the house, and the white light fell on the eunuch's body, and the wisps of blood-red light reflected on the eunuch's chest, and it was obviously extremely terrifying to circulate and wander.

"Mother's ......"

The eunuch trembled slightly, "Shen Ze's soul is scattered, and he is indeed dead." ”

"I already knew," Mu Yu stopped, and the man made a hollow female voice, "Shen Ze's soul mark left on the tower has dissipated, and the Demon Soul Lamp of the Sea Tower Society can protect him, but he is not from the tower after all." His body still binds his soul in this world, and he is still just a mortal. Now that Shen Ze is dead, there is no mistake in the secret hand, and no matter how much the Imperial Horse Supervisor and Yu Linwei investigate, they will not be able to touch our core. ”

"The invincible Wang who killed Shen Ze is so strong," the eunuch was still worried, "The background is still unknown, but it is another big trouble." ”

"Little Shanzi," the man sighed lowly, "I have been hiding you below for many years, and I have not let you show your face in the shadows, just to be prepared to take on a heavy duty at a time like this. Everything is only doubtful, and it is necessary to turn doubt into use, otherwise there will always be fewer and fewer businesses and fewer and fewer credible people. ”

The eunuch kowtowed, "Niangniang's appreciation and cultivation, slave maid in this life...... No, I will never forget it in my next life!"

"Wang Wuyi's origin is indeed quite strange," the man continued, "Tari has checked the details, he has only been in the secret hand for more than two months, and he has not been in and out very often before, just to stay in the gray realm to collect demon dust. A few days ago, the mercenary mission suddenly rose, which proves that he has ulterior motives in entering the secret hands. ”

"After three missions, he defeated Mostar and killed Shen Ze, which was stronger than the people of the Golden Turtle team. We estimate that he is not far from the Black Shark Leader Tang Mu and the Hundred Flowers Valley Top Lilac, and he should not be nameless. We can confirm that he has nothing to do with the Sea Tower Society, and the only suspicion now is that the Blood Tower Society has infiltrated the spies,"

"Coupled with the informant's report on Shen Ze's death, there are vampires who have activated the bloodline by Wang Wuving's side, and the possibility of coming from the Blood Tower Society is even higher. ”

Hearing the eunuch whispering, "That must be Wang Jiu, Wang Wuving's personal subordinate, who appeared at the cargo station, and has not yet been introduced into the tower by Wang Wuving." ”

He nodded affirmatively, "Then Wang Wushu will definitely not be the empress's person, even if the empress can endure demons, she will never endure vampires, let alone use vampires." ”

"Yes, now our doubts are more concrete," the man whispered, "this person has either been sent by the old man to lurk, ready to dig us up by the roots and present it to the Imperial Court or the Sea Tower Society." Either the old man who is against Fang and is ready to lead us to the members of the Blood Tower Society, just these two possibilities. ”

"Niangniang means ......" The eunuch named Xiaoshanzi was a little excited, "Let that Wang Wushu continue to do some big things, which is not only beneficial to our secret hands, but also can test his details?"

"Yes, after he enters the tower tonight, you will confess like this......"

"Niangniang" was even lower, Xiao Shanzi subconsciously exclaimed after hearing it, and then stopped abruptly, and turned to heartfelt admiration: "Niangniang's wonderful trick!"

"It's wonderful, it's just a matter of strength. Niangniang began to knock on the wooden fish again.

"Xiao Shanzi, in the future, don't report anything about Wang Invincible in the tower, come here to see me directly. In the sound of the wooden fish, the female voice became empty and indifferent, like the language of the netherworld. "Don't let these things interfere with other adults. ”

"The slave is loyal and loyal to the mother!" Xiao Shanzi hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

"In addition, not only did you not help Wang Wushu this time, but the people you brought were almost captured alive by the Imperial Horse Supervisor," the female voice was even colder, making Xiao Shanzi, who was already trying to endure the white light, tremble even more densely. "It means that you are not the material for that kind of work, so you should be a good ear and eye for me. ”

When the last "go" fell, the eunuch trembled and retreated a few steps, turned around and went out.

"Such a powerful soul is really a good firewood. ”

The sound of wooden fish in the hall became louder and louder, mixed with a faint murmur.

In the canteen of the elephant training center, Gao De was scribbling his rice bowl and gobbling it up. Lu Jiumei hurriedly came in and shouted to the cook: "Big bowl of noodles! Add more marinade! The more noodles and marinade, the better!"

Gao De looked over, Lu Jiumei turned his gaze away, and when she looked at Gao De, Gao De buried his head in the bowl again.

The Covert still has a secret teleportation base in the East City, which can be teleported to the underground hall and back to the tavern. However, considering that the route of going directly to the tavern and back to the mahouting house was too clear and the time was too coincidental, Gao De changed several modes of transportation and returned to the mahouting house at dusk. Looking at the time when Lu Jiumei came back, the two coincided.

"Did Lord Qianhu also go out?What are you busy with and haven't come back until now?" Lu Jiumei took the initiative to speak.

"Don't ask," Gao De is already comfortable coping, "Asking is the business of Tosaka's manager." ”

"Oh......" Lu Jiumei's face suddenly understood, "Of course it is important to take care of the affairs of the lord, seeing that the lord of Qianhu is tired, it must be very hard." ”

A few small flags next to him sneered, and some people squirted noodles from their nostrils, Lu Jiumei waved his hand desperately: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that!"

What the hell do you mean!?

Gao De was confused, and he didn't understand why those subordinates were laughing, so he could only stare at him fiercely, so frightened that they hurriedly buried their heads in eating noodles.

"You look tired too, aren't you just guarding that tavern?" Gao De countered.

"That ......" Lu Jiumei was obviously not good at concealment, and said with a flickering eye: "I just can't be idle, I'm even more tired when I'm idle, and I'm ready to withdraw if there is no situation until tomorrow." ”

"It's okay to withdraw," Gao Dexin said that Lu Jiumei had to be trained well, so that she could learn to restrain the power of vampires. In the action of killing Shen Ze, her vampire power played a great role, at least deterring the Golden Turtle gang, but if it was exposed frequently, it would be too easy for accidents.

"There are still a lot of things going on in the elephant training place, and there is a big incident in Dongcheng today," Gao De indifferently recounted what the two of them actually knew, "The two groups of demons fought each other on the Dongcheng Ring Road, blew up the first-class carriage of the ring bus, and also knocked over a truck, killing and injuring countless people, we have pulled back more than ten demon corpses." ”

"Ouch......" Lu Jiumei was taking the big bowl of lo mein, and when she heard the words, her hand flickered, and the noodle soup was so hot that she grinned.

"What background?" she asked, enduring the pain, "what did you find?"

"Grandma Sun is busy with the gray bean sprouts," Gao De shrugged, "There shouldn't be anything left of the corpse, but I heard from the Imperial Horse Supervisor that there are still vampires showing up." ”

Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Lu Jiumei, whose face was almost buried in the bowl, and Gao De said in an extremely regretful tone, "It's a pity that our elephant taming institute can't handle the case directly, otherwise I will mobilize all my strength to catch this vampire, and take a good dissection with Granny Sun to see what the structure of the body is." ”

Lu Jiumei didn't say anything, just snorted and ate the noodles, chewing loudly, as if he was chewing someone's meat.
