Chapter 290: Mutiny in Nine Deer City (4)

Along the bright yellow palace wall, Jiang Ling walked to a side gate of the palace, where there were two soldiers guarding, they saw Jiang Ling approaching, so they turned their heads to look over, although they did not speak, but their eyes had already revealed a fierce vigilance, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Jiang Ling's face did not change, and he bowed his head slightly and walked quickly past this side door.

Then Jiang Ling glanced at the palace wall around him, which was only about two meters and five meters high, it was difficult to defend against ordinary people with such a height, let alone the cultivators of the Heavenly Transformation Realm.

But Jiang Ling naturally didn't just climb over the wall and enter the palace casually, but thought: "The palace is heavily guarded, and it may not be easy to enter the palace, in case you are caught as a gangster, it will be over." But it's obvious that there is a mission location in the palace, and if you think you have to enter it, you have to think of a way. ”

Just as Jiang Ling was pondering, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the palace, which seemed to be the sound of shouting and killing.

"Huh?" Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment, and stopped to listen. Although I couldn't hear what the people inside were shouting, it was obvious that something was wrong.

After about a moment, the two guards guarding the door looked into the palace for a moment, as if they saw that the situation was urgent, and they also discussed, and then one of them hurriedly turned around and entered the palace, and only one person was left to guard the side door.

Jiang Ling's face was serious, and he said to himself: "It's already a fight so soon? I'll have to hurry, too. ”

Jiang Ling was anxious for a while, afraid that he would miss some key plot, so he simply took a few steps forward, avoiding the guard's field of vision, and then summoned out a thigh-thick, one-meter-high vine, he quickly stepped on it, and then his body was like a swallow leaping onto the palace wall.

Behold...

Boom!

Jiang Ling fell back in a blink of an eye, and fell directly to the ground, he turned over and stood up, rubbed his head and muttered, "Sure enough, there is a formation." ”

After he jumped onto the palace wall, he crashed into an invisible wall, as hard as steel, and directly blocked him back. Fortunately, Jiang Ling was more careful and didn't use too much force, otherwise he might have broken his head and bleed.

This huge palace naturally does not only have this high wall as a barrier, but also an invisible defensive circle shrouded above the palace, and outsiders can't enter it at all.

Jiang Ling didn't try to break the formation with brute force, after all, the royal protective shield would definitely not be weak, and whether he could open it or not, at least the sound caused was enough to attract the guards.

"Looks like we have to walk through the door."

Jiang Ling thought for a while, and then turned his head back to the side gate just now, but at this time, Jiang Ling found that the only remaining guard was not at the door.

"It's already messed up like this?" Jiang Ling approached cautiously and saw that this side door was not only unguarded, but also had a crack open. Jiang Ling waited for a moment, then got closer, paying close attention to the movement inside.

After a few seconds, Jiang Ling glanced at the fact that there was no one else around, and then stepped in.

Sure enough, if you enter through the door, you won't encounter the invisible formation. After Jiang Ling entered the door, he found that the palace was indeed magnificent, the road here was spacious, the bluestone ground was smooth and clean, many trees and flowers were on both sides of the street, and the classical atmosphere of the palace buildings was distributed in the palace.

Some figures could be seen running in the distance, Jiang Ling didn't dare to look at it presumptuously, but slipped through the wall and hid behind a building, and then continued to explore the palace.

Jiang Ling, the ancient palace preserved in the real world, has not been there, and his cognition of the palace is still in film, television and literary works, he only knows that the center of the palace should be the main hall of the government, and the back of the hall is the bedroom of the emperor and his concubines.

In addition to being vigilant around and observing the environment, Jiang Ling also faintly felt an atmosphere that made him a little uneasy, as if something invisible surrounded him.

Jiang Ling found a remote place, felt it carefully, and then confirmed that it was not his own psychological effect, but that there was indeed an invisible force suppressing himself, but Jiang Ling stopped and carefully checked and experienced it, but he didn't see any effect for the time being, it seemed that this suppression did not have much impact on him.

"Isn't this palace circle also a monitoring function? Can you perceive my location? Although he was not substantially affected, Jiang Ling was naturally still uneasy.

However, since he finally found an opportunity to enter, Jiang Ling had no reason to withdraw from it, he moved cautiously around the palace, and approached the highest and most majestic hall in the palace.

Whether it is from the battlefield preview or the cognition of common sense, it can be concluded that the main hall is the place where the emperor will meet, and the core building in the palace, but I don't know what it is called.

Jiang Ling didn't want to run to the main hall, and then to the back of the main hall, because the imperial garden was generally behind the main hall and the emperor's bedroom.

At this time, the palace was chaotic, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing, but no one found Jiang Ling, but Jiang Ling didn't run far, and then he saw a wall, which was horizontal in the middle of the palace, and seemed to divide the palace into two, and the main hall of the council was naturally on the other side of the wall, and it was not far away.

"What?" Jiang Ling was puzzled for a moment, then thought of some knowledge, and said to himself: "This can be regarded as a dividing line, and further inside is the most secret core area of the palace." ”

Jiang Ling was about to try again if he could cross the wall, but a shout was near, and then hurried footsteps sounded.

"Don't run!"

"Let's get caught!"

Jiang Ling was taken aback, and then quickly hid behind the house next to him, carefully aiming in the direction where the voice came from, and at the same time muttered to himself vigilantly: "Could it be that the magic circle really has a detection function?" Spotted me so soon? ”

Jiang Ling didn't flee immediately, if there was really a reconnaissance function in the palace, unless he escaped from the palace, it would be useless to run anywhere. Again, speaking from experience... This kind of guy who shouts from afar is not too strong...

The next moment, Jiang Ling understood that these shouts were not aimed at him.

I saw a figure galloping towards him, this person was wearing light armor, but his shoulders were bloody, his hair was messy, and it seemed that his helmet had been knocked off. At this time, his face was a little flustered, and he hurried to the side door.

Jiang Ling could tell at a glance that this was one of the two guards guarding the door.

Behind him, three other men chased after him with swords, and the light armor they wore was no different from the guard, who seemed to be the defenders of the imperial city.

Jiang Ling released his mental power and carefully reconnoitred the strength of these four people, and found that they were all at the level of the Earth Transformation Upper Realm, and it seemed that they were all martial artists. It can be seen that they were originally supposed to be colleagues, but at this time, the mutiny in the palace had been divided into two factions, and Jiang Ling did not intervene rashly, because he didn't know which side these were from.

I saw that the guard was wounded, and when he ran near Jiang Ling, a person behind him suddenly waved his arm and threw a copper ball the size of a goose egg, which happened to hit the guard's leg.

The guard tumbled to the ground, and then shouted in shock and rage, "You are so bold to rebel!" ”

"It's the prince who wants to rebel! You stubborn thing, you dare to resist the edict of the emperor! The three men had caught up, and with a swing of their swords, they slashed at the guard.

I saw that the guard sat on the ground, already powerless to resist, but suddenly several green shadows rose beside him, and several wrist-thick vines intertwined above his head, directly stopping the three steel knives.

Jiang Ling understood the camps of the two sides this time, and of course he no longer hesitated and made a bold move.

"Huh?" The three guards were stunned, and then the vines swelled again, only to see the three of them entangled.

"Who dares... The three of them naturally resisted desperately, but they were still bound up by vines in the blink of an eye.

"It's still a little bit of effort to deal with the three Earth Transformation Realms together, but it's not that difficult." Jiang Ling still had the kung fu to muttered to himself, and then he walked out from the back of the house.

"You..." The guard who fell to the ground also saw Jiang Ling, and the back showed doubts: "Who are you?" ”

"I'm here to help you." Jiang Ling stretched out his hand to him, and then said, "To be precise, I am from the prince's side." ”

"Oh?" The man hesitated slightly, and then took Jiang Ling's hand and stood up, but he was still a little vigilant: "Which adult are you?" ”

"I'm the prince's secret agent, don't ask too much." Jiang Ling prevaricated casually, regardless of whether the other party believed it or not, and continued: "What is the situation in the palace now? ”

The guard was naturally suspicious of Jiang Ling being the prince's secret agent, but after all, Jiang Ling rescued him, and he still replied: "Lord Tingwei has rebelled, and they want to surround the East Palace!" Murder the Prince! ”

"The one in charge of guarding the palace is the court captain?" Jiang Ling asked.

The guard nodded, "That's right. ”

The leader of the defenders of the palace is Dazai's people, which is not good news, Jiang Ling frowned and said, "How many of the palace defenders have rebelled now?" ”

"Lord Tingwei has six captains under him, each with a hundred people, he said that the prince intends to rebel, so he wants us to surround the East Palace and control the imperial city, but there are three captains, including my commander, who refuse to give orders, so they fight." The guard gritted his teeth and said indignantly, "Our Captain Han is dead. ”

"Are there any other troops in the palace?" Jiang Ling continued to investigate.

Seeing that Jiang Ling knew very little about the situation in the palace, the guard was still vigilant; "Are you the Prince?"

Jiang Ling was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he reacted quickly and said naturally: "Of course I am the crown prince's person, but I don't know much about the situation in the palace. ”

The guard still looked at Jiang Ling suspiciously.

"What's that..."Jiang Ling touched his nose and said casually: "It's urgent, and I didn't bring a matching seal." ”

The guard looked stunned, and said, "Could it be that the prince found out that Tingwei and they were going to rebel, so he sent you back to investigate?" ”

"Huh? Oh..."Jiang Ling was puzzled when he heard this, but then he instantly realized one thing - it turned out that the crown prince was not in the palace!
