At midnight, the whole Xianyang City has already entered a deep dreamland, only the sound of drums on the hanging corner towers in the city, set off the quiet moonlight, it seems particularly quiet and serene.

The Yulin Army camp near the palace was silent a moment ago, but at this time, the middle door suddenly opened, and a team of heavily armed black-armored cavalry drove out of the barracks, as if a large number of ghosts came in the dark night, murderous, and rushed straight to the Taiyi Eternal Life Hall located in the northeast corner of Xianyang.

On the way from the Yulin Camp to the Hall of Eternal Life, there were sentry checkpoints and patrols of the city defense troops everywhere, but what was strange was that when these checkpoints and patrols met the black-armored cavalry, they did not come forward to intercept them as usual, and carefully interrogated the identity and intentions of the other party, but all turned their heads to the other side with a very tacit understanding, turning a blind eye to this mysterious team with a size of nearly a thousand.

The majestic capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the garrison force responsible for the security of the city, would actually let a large army of forests gallop freely in the city in the middle of the night, if it was not for seeing it with their own eyes, it is estimated that no one would dare to believe it.

Obviously, there must be some great big man who has secretly greeted him in advance: cooperate with the actions of the Yulin Iron Guard, and do not arbitrarily stop it!

In this way, nearly a thousand feather Lin Tiewei traveled all the way in Xianyang, and it took less than a cup of tea to arrive at the dojo where the great master Beichen was located - Taiyi Hall of Eternal Life.

The officer leading the team gave an order, and the whole team stopped dozens of steps away from the gate of the tall compound, and a knight turned over and dismounted, walked forward and smashed the door desperately.

"Come on, come on, who's calling the door in the middle of the night?" With a complaint, the door of the outer courtyard slowly opened a crack from the inside, and a sleepy-eyed head poked out of the crack in the door. When the head saw the black and oppressive cavalry formation outside the door, he immediately shook twice involuntarily, swallowed back the swear words that were about to soar out, and immediately changed his respectful appearance, and asked timidly: "Eh, this military master, ...... What do you have to do? ”

The cavalryman who knocked on the door did not answer, turned to look at the camp behind him, and heard a bright voice from the other side: "Tell your stewards to come out and speak!" ”

Steward? The warlock who opened the door cursed in his heart: Do you know who we are in charge of here? Is that what you say you can see?

However, this thought lasted less than three seconds before he immediately changed, because the other side said again: "I count thirty times, if he still doesn't come out, my soldiers and horses will rush straight in!" ”

I don't know if there are more than thirty times, in short, the door of the outer courtyard of the Taiyi Immortal Palace was completely opened, and a tall white-haired old man wearing a luxurious brocade robe, surrounded by more than a dozen apprentices, walked quickly to the door.

This old man is none other than the master here, the great teacher Beichen Zhenren. As soon as Beichen walked out of the door, he was startled by the formation in front of him, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart. As Qin Shi Huang said when he was fighting in front of the emperor, no matter how strong the skills of the Fang Shi Warlock were, they could not withstand the power of the Great Qin soldiers, and a thousand ironclad cavalry troops were enough to crush them into powder.

And what appeared in front of Beichen at this time was a genuine ironclad cavalry team of 1,000 people!

Beichen secretly forced himself to calm down, first try not to think about the powder, and carefully identify the identity of the person who came by the torch of the lampball opposite. Unexpectedly, it was okay not to take it seriously, and it surprised him a little at a loss. It is not difficult to recognize from the costumes worn by those cavalrymen that these horses are actually His Majesty's personal soldiers, the Great Qin Yulin Iron Guard.

Damn, what the hell is going on? Could it be that the emperor sent someone to find me Xingshi to ask for the guilt? Beichen pondered to himself: I haven't done anything terrible recently? Even if Bai Yunfan's case happens, I should always be given a chance to defend myself, so that I won't be so aggressive as soon as I come up? No, there must be something strange about this. Even if His Majesty wants to arrest me, then there must be a palace attendant to follow me to deliver the decree.

He stared and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know which general is holding the flag here, please come forward and speak." ”

As soon as the words fell, a war horse slowly walked out of the cavalry queue on the opposite side, and paced calmly to the front. There was a tall young general sitting on the war horse, Beichen looked a little surprised, so he asked again: "Dare to ask this general's honorific title?" ”

Hearing this, the young general bowed his hand slightly, and replied loudly: "Meng Qi, the lieutenant general of the Dongdu battalion, has seen the great power teacher. ”

"Dongdu Battalion?" When Beichen Zhenren heard that the other party was the new army that had just been established, the big stone in his heart could finally land, and he couldn't help sneering: "Who else should this seat be?" It turned out to be a subordinate of the small national division. When you come here at night, what is the matter with the laborers? ”

When Meng Qi saw that Beichen knew where he came from, he changed his frightened look, and picked up the national teacher's shelf again, and secretly felt funny in his heart, and said: "The last general will be ordered by His Majesty to assist Xu Fu Dao Chang to go east to visit the Immortal Mountain. I didn't expect that someone would have the audacity to steal the Dongdu Sea Chart tonight, in a vain attempt to sabotage His Majesty's great cause of immortality. According to the spies' report, after the man stole the chart, he hid all the way here, so this time the last general led his troops to catch the thief! ”

Hearing Meng Qi say this, Beichen was really angry and funny, for reasons like this, he didn't even bother to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and directly snorted coldly: "Presumptuous! Do you know what this place is? This is a royal forbidden place dedicated to refining elixirs for His Majesty, how can you allow Er and others to come and make trouble? Beware of the Holy Shrine tomorrow, I want your head! ”

Meng Qi shrugged his shoulders and said, "The great master sues the emperor, and he will die; If you lose the chart of the eastward crossing, the last general will also die. Since both horizontal and vertical are dead, it is better to catch the bird thief who stole the treasure first. ”

"You're bold!" Beichen's beard almost floated up, and when he saw that this guy named Meng Qi was not afraid of his intimidation, he hurriedly turned around and ordered the disciple beside him: "You, quickly go to the palace to find the head of the chamberlain, Gonggong Fu, and ask him to come quickly; You, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Prime Minister Li Si and tell him about the situation here; You, go to see Shangqing Meng Yi, and the Yulin Iron Guard is under his control; And you ......" Beichen counted the names of five or six big figures in the court in a row, and arranged for apprentices to go for help one by one. After all the tossing was over, he gritted his teeth at Meng Qi and said: "This is the Xuanmen Holy Land, if you dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step, you will see!" ”

With that, Beichen threw off his wide-sleeved robe and turned around to go back. To tell the truth, from his point of view, under such a powerful call for the powerful to come to help, Beichen definitely didn't believe that the cavalry outside would dare to make a mistake.

But at this moment, Meng Qi, who was sitting on the horse, suddenly smiled slightly, and then took out the sword from his waist and shouted: "Array!" ”

With his order, nearly a thousand Yulin Iron Guards raised their spears and roared in unison: "Gale! Gale! Gale! ”

This is the Qin army's world-famous offensive battle number, I don't know how many soldiers of the Six Kingdoms were torn to pieces by the tiger wolf Great Qin while listening to this terrifying voice. Now in front of Beichen, the ironclad cavalry shouted the word "gale" hoarsely, and formed a qualitative and invisible murderous aura that rushed to the sky and rushed straight to the gate of the outer courtyard of the Taiyi Eternal Life Palace.

The person didn't move, the sound had arrived, this murderous aura almost pushed Beichen to a heel, fortunately, he had been cultivating for a long time, full of concentration, and he hadn't completely panicked, but a few apprentices who were a little less timid beside him had already poured and urine.

Beichen Zhenren slowly turned around, his face was exposed, and asked Meng Qi word by word: "What do you want to do?!" ”

Just when Meng Qi was tense and scared Beichen Lao'er, Zhao Liang and Xiao Ya had already climbed over the backyard wall of the Hall of Eternal Life, and quietly touched the vicinity of the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda under the cover of dense trees.

As soon as the three of them stood up and saw the situation in front of the gate at the bottom of the tower, there was an earth-shattering shout of killing in the outer courtyard. At this time, the two guards guarding the tower gate were all attracted by the huge movement over there, carrying swords, tiptoeing, and stretching their necks together to look out at the outer courtyard.

Seeing this, Zhao Liang said in a low voice: "Meng Qi has sent a signal, Beichen has been glued to the gate by him at the moment, we must go in as soon as possible to save people." You ready? Let's go! ”

Before he could finish speaking, the lights out chief rushed out, flashed behind the guard like a ghost, and only heard two clicks, and slashed the two of them unconscious with his palm knife.

Zhao Liang and Zheng Luya followed closely behind him, rushed up the steps quickly, and went straight to the gate of the pagoda while the lights out road chief tied the guards with ropes. The two of them took a closer look in the moonlight, and sure enough, there was a fist-sized copper lock hanging on the pagoda door, which looked very strong.

"How? Are you sure? Looking at the copper bump with intricate patterns, Zhao Liang asked with some concern.

Xiao Ya next to him ignored him, took a closer look, and took out two thin silver hairpins from his waist and poked them into the keyhole together.

Zhao Liang saw that she immediately started to move, so he silently counted on the side: "One thousand and one, one thousand and two, one thousand and three...... In the absence of a stopwatch, the thousand readings are the closest method to the second hand timing, and if you read it, it is one second.

What Zhao Liang didn't expect was that when he read "One Thousand and Nine", he only heard a click, and the copper lock opened in Zheng Luya's hand.

"I'll go! It's so awesome, it's not even ten seconds? Zhao Liang couldn't help but praise loudly at Xiao Ya's five-body throw on the ground with admiration for her amazing skills.

Zheng Luya's face flushed slightly, and said: "The metallurgical technology of the Qin Dynasty is not developed, and a copper guy like this style is not even a serious three-reed lock, and it is easy to get it." Alright, let's get inside. ”

At this time, the head of the lights-out road had already tied up the two guards briefly, stuffed them with strips of cloth in their mouths, and flew to the door. Zhao Liang pushed open the wooden door, waved his hand slightly, and took the lead in flashing into the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda.

As soon as the three of them entered the tower, they knew that what Xu Fu had said before was true. The pagoda, which is more than 40 meters high, looks quite imposing from the outside, but it is hollow inside. The area of the first floor of the pagoda is nearly 50 square meters, and the ground is covered with small pieces of bluestone slabs, looking simple and elegant. There are also some simple furniture such as tables, chairs, and screens around it, and it is estimated that people used to meditate and rest here occasionally.

Standing in the middle of the first floor and looking up, the line of sight is unobstructed, straight to the top of the tower, you can find that there is a layer of wooden floor slab at the highest place, which should be the ground on the top floor, and there is a staircase around the tower, spiraling up until the top floor.

Zhao Liang said: "It seems that most of the places where Yu Hengxing is imprisoned, let's hurry up and be careful that there is an ambush on the stairs." ”

The head of the lights out agreed, and took the lead, he was familiar with the secret art of the Daomen, and his martial arts were very strong, so it was naturally the safest for him to explore the way in front. Zhao Liang followed closely behind the lights out, and also walked up the wooden stairs. After only a few steps, he suddenly found that Xiaoya did not come with him, and couldn't help but look back curiously.

I saw that Zheng Luya was bending over at this time, as if looking for something on the ground of the bluestone slab, Zhao Liang greeted softly, but Xiaoya turned a deaf ear and looked for it seriously. Time was pressing, Zhao Liang saw that the lights out road had gone up a short distance, and he didn't dare to delay too much, thinking that it would be okay to leave Zheng Luya on the first floor to be in charge of the sentry, so he turned around and chased after him quickly.

Zhao Liang ran up a dozen steps, and suddenly found that the lights out road chief stopped, and was about to ask, only to hear the lights out and say, "Immortal Chief, there is a mechanism under this step." ”
