I thought that I would enter the palace as soon as possible to join the prince, but I didn't expect that the prince was not in the palace at this time.

But knowing this from the guard's words, Jiang Ling was not too disappointed, after all, judging from the content of the side quests, the palace must be an important location in the plot, and it will not be in vain.

The problem is that there has been a rebellion in the palace at this time, in the absence of the prince, the defenders lack the backbone, and the rebels may control the palace in a short period of time.

"That's right, the crown prince sent me back to investigate the situation in the palace." Jiang Ling's face did not change and he responded solemnly, and then said: "I didn't expect it to be such a crisis, you should quickly go and inform the prince of the incident here." Then Jiang Ling asked with a natural expression: "Do you know where the prince is?" ”

"I know, I'm going to the Imperial Tomb to attend the festival." The guard naturally didn't realize that Jiang Ling was talking nonsense, and he continued: "Ten miles out of White Deer City is the Imperial Tomb. ”

"Very good, you can go quickly." Jiang Ling waved his hand: "Be careful on the road." ”

"Aren't you going back, sir?"

Jiang Ling said seriously: "I'll inquire again." ”

"Okay, take care, sir." The guard stood in awe, then turned and walked away quickly.

Jiang Ling muttered to himself: "The prince is originally in the Imperial Mausoleum, just outside the White Deer Gate, no wonder the White Deer Gate is a mission location." ”

Jiang Ling let him go, firstly, he really needed someone to inform the prince of the situation in the imperial city at this time, so that he could prepare early, and secondly, Jiang Ling was afraid of asking too many questions and deepening the other party's suspicions.

But the intelligence still needs to be further understood, Jiang Ling glanced around first, and could see that there were still figures running in the distance, but no one noticed here for the time being. Jiang Ling lowered his head and looked at the three "cocoons" around him who were no longer struggling, and then lifted the vines wrapped around the three of them, these three people had been tied up for too long, and they had already passed out due to suffocation, Jiang Ling grabbed a person's neck and dragged him to a hidden place behind the house, and then two neat big slaps woke up the person.

The man woke up with two big slap marks on his face, and then looked at Jiang Ling with a shocked expression. At this time, he was tied up for a few minutes, his whole body was weak, and he couldn't struggle, and when he was about to shout, two fierce slaps came over him, directly stunning him.

"I ask, you answer." Jiang Ling was naturally not polite to him, and said indifferently like a bandit: "If you dare to say one more word or lie to me, you will be twisted." Understand?! ”

The man didn't dare to move, and nodded.

Jiang Ling asked, "Who is commanding you in the palace now?" ”

The man replied honestly, "Captain Ting... Lord Yin. ”

"Whose orders are you listening to?"

This forbidden army knew that he was doing something against the prince and conspiring against him, and if he was a little wrong, it would be the end of the nine clans and five horses of Zhulian, and he was naturally frightened when he was caught by Jiang Ling at this time, and replied honestly: "Tingwei is a subordinate of Da Sima, but now Tingwei is obeying Dazai's orders." ”

"Hmm." Jiang Ling couldn't figure out the official system of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in this world, so he could only listen to a rough idea and understand that Tingwei was a subordinate official of Da Sima, and Dazai was in power, so he could naturally go over Da Sima and directly order Tingwei. Of course, it may also be that Da Sima is also the opposite, and a small soldier will not understand this matter. Then he asked, "Are there any other military forces in the palace?" ”

"And Jin Wuwei and Xuan Yinlang."

Jiang Ling frowned and asked, "Did Jin Wuwei and Xuan Yinlang rebel?" ”

"Jin Wuwei did not rebel, but one hundred and fifty of the two hundred Jin Wuwei have gone to the imperial tomb with the prince, and only fifty people are left to guard the East Palace, but it will definitely not last long. Genbe's side... I heard that the Taixuan palm seal envoy has been controlled, the left Shaoxuan palm seal envoy is beside the prince, and the right Shaoxuan palm seal envoy is commanding the Xuan Department at this time, and he should also be obeying Dazai's orders. ”

"What does Genbe do? How many people are there? What kind of strength are they? ”

"The matter of Genbe is very confidential, and I don't know... I only know that they are all great cultivators who obey the orders of the imperial court, there should be less than a hundred people, and each of them is at least the strength of the Heavenly Transformation Realm, but most of them don't stay in the palace very often, just summon them when they are needed, and they will rush back. ”

"Very good." Of course, after Jiang Ling heard this, he kept saying MMP in his heart...

This Xuanbu is similar to the Shenxiao Camp in Northern Qin, both of which are powerful cultivator organizations that obey the orders of the imperial court, but they don't sound as complicated as the Shenxiao Camp, and most of the members are free-range.

At present, the Taixuan palm print envoy who heard that it was the boss of the Xuanbu has been controlled, and the two lieutenants on the left and right are one by the prince's side, and the other is in the palace, depending on the situation, the right Shaoxuan's palm print has almost been determined to be reversed, although Zuo Shaoxuan is by the prince's side, but there is no guarantee that he is the prince's person...

There are dozens of people in the Xuanbu, the lowest is the Heavenly Change Realm, and if you want to keep it up, there will be so many Xuanji, if this force has been completely controlled by Dazai, then the prince is either Li Yuanba's possession and the reincarnation of the Chu Overlord, and he can kill the gods and Buddhas and kill the Buddha, otherwise he had better not return to the palace.

Jiang Ling felt more and more that the situation was not easy to deal with, and then he remembered something and asked, "Is there any formation in the palace?" ”

"Nine Deer Sky Survey Array." The man thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know what to do, I heard them say that they can suppress the realm of the people in the palace." ”

"Oh?" Jiang Ling thought about it when he heard this, although he felt that there was a suppressive power in his body, it had almost no substantial impact on himself. Jiang Ling said in his heart, could it be that the players have privileges? The circle is not fully activated? Or is this suppression, only for people with higher strength?

But it was obvious that this little forbidden army really didn't understand this formation, and Jiang Ling could only find other ways to test the efficacy of this formation.

The reason why Jiang Ling cared about this formation was naturally to find a way to fight against Xuanbu when he learned that Xuanbu was so powerful and was very likely to rebel.

After all, the number of players can be unequal, but the two sides of the plot will definitely not be too different, and if the prince doesn't have some means of self-protection, the palace really can't come back. And since there is a powerful formation in the palace, according to common sense, such an important thing should be held in the direct hands of the imperial family, and it is relatively unlikely that it will be controlled by Dazai.

Based on Jiang Ling's game experience and sensitivity to the plot, he had reason to believe that this formation would play a decisive role in seizing control of the palace.

"One last question." Jiang Ling looked at the man and asked, "Where is the Imperial Garden?" ”

"Behind the Hall of Light and Peace." The man replied so, and then looked at Jiang Ling vigilantly, he was afraid that Jiang Ling would kill people after asking the question.

Jiang Ling sighed and said, "Can you be specific?" ”

"Uh... After Tai'an Gate and Chaoming Palace, it is where the Light and Hall and the East Palace are located, and the Light and Hall and the East Palace are the Imperial Garden. The man looked at Jiang Ling with some puzzlement at this time, he couldn't figure out who the powerful young man in front of him was, it seemed to be a figure from the prince's side, but why didn't he know anything about the palace?

"Good." Jiang Ling nodded, turned around and was about to leave.

The man was immediately surprised when he saw that Jiang Ling didn't make a move on him, but the next moment he rolled his eyes and lay on the ground. Jiang Ling didn't kill him, but released a telekinetic impact to knock him unconscious, and he couldn't wake up for a while.

He was also not polite to the two Jiang Ling who were unconscious on the ground, although they did not kill the killer, they also made a wave of anger, so that they would not wake up easily, lest they expose their whereabouts too early.

Then Jiang Ling thought for a while, turned around again, and began to untie the belt of the forbidden army.

......

East of Jiulu City, White Deer Gate.

The emperor died, the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, there is an undercurrent in Jiulu City, and the city guards are also very strict with the people who enter and leave the city, so there are not many people walking around in recent days, and the city gate is a little deserted.

There was a middle-aged man standing on the upper floor of Bailu Gate, his face was resolute, his body was strong, although his hair was already a little gray, but he still had an iron-blooded momentum.

At this time, he stood on the city tower in light armor and looked out of the city, and in the pair of eyes that should have been sharp, there were complex colors at this time, which seemed to reveal his inner entanglement.

The obese captain of the Dongcheng City Gate stood behind him, with a little respect in his eyes, but also a little trepidation.

Captain Dongcheng hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord..."

"Shut up." The middle-aged man's tone was flat, but with an unmistakable meaning.

But the captain of Dongcheng still gritted his teeth, knelt down at his back, and said in a trembling voice: "The matter has come to this, you have an idea, the small one is promoted by you, what do you say, what do you do, what do you do." ”

The middle-aged man opened his mouth and wanted to curse something, but he didn't say anything for a while, his left hand pinched on the stone stack of the city gate, and cracks had already appeared in the solid stone. And in his right hand, he held a white cloth.

Written on the cloth was a great perverse order.

Even he didn't know what to do.

He joined the army in his early years, entered the army for many years, once crawled out of the pile of dead people on the battlefield, and also saw the deceit of officialdom, he was praised by the old emperor himself as a "tiger general", the prince respectfully called him a general, and Dazai personally recommended him to sit in today's position.

Lieutenant of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, in control of the eight gates of Jiulu City, shoulders the safety of the national capital.

But he knew that he was not the master of the city, but the guardian of it. He had never felt the weight of the burden on his shoulders, and he was confident that he would protect the city.

But the order was so heavy that he was a little out of breath.

He looked into the distance, where a group of men was heading into the city, and to be precise, the group was about to return to the city.

He's supposed to be the master of this city, isn't he? - Lieutenant Lu Junchen thought.

He withdrew his gaze a little, and then narrowed his eyes slightly, and he saw a man with a hat sitting under a tree not far away, and a long sword with a sheath at his waist.

Lu Junchen was puzzled, but before he could speak, a figure had already jumped off the city wall, leaving only one sentence: "I'll take a look!" ”

"Huh?" Lu Junchen looked at the figure that was as light as a swallow and fell to the ground smoothly, and asked with a little unhappiness, "Who is this?" ”

The captain of Dongcheng looked up: "Wang Qilou of the City Gate Division." ”

Lu Junchen's face was a little gloomy, and he said, "City Gate Division? How did I not know that I had such a number one under my command? And..."He turned his head sideways and looked to the other side, where two figures walked over, their clothes were obviously not in the style of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and with Lu Junchen's strength, he could also see at a glance that these two people were extraordinary, he frowned and asked, "Where did these strange guys come from?" ”
