Chapter 379: A good move
Seeing that the heavily guarded guards in the outer courtyard of the Mellon Empire's palace were patrolling back and forth, Lin Xi thought that the hidden experience he had learned from the Northern Legion, coupled with his current strength, could help him evade the attention of these guards and quietly enter the inner palace.
It's just that the problem after entering stumped him.
The inner palace of the king of a country is naturally a fairyland on earth for the concubines who live in it all the year round or for His Majesty Loew himself, but for outsiders like him who want to sneak inside to find out, it is no less than a tiger's den in Longtan.
No matter how small the area of the Mellon Empire is and how weak the national strength is, it should still be easy to place one or two powerful old monsters in the inner palace, right?
And his purpose is not to alarm these masters, on the premise of first finding out the terrain of the inner palace, and then secretly take out the axe, the middle process can not tolerate the slightest slack and negligence, once something goes wrong, so that the other party has a guard, then don't think about the life-saving axe.
"Xiaobai. Lin Xi crouched down in a corner that the guards couldn't notice, and called the little guy again, thinking about what promise he should fulfill next time to satisfy the little guy and remove the little guy's outpouring anger.
Xiaobai also knew that as soon as Lin Xi called him, especially at night, there would be nothing good, but he was urged by the mad Shura, and he still reluctantly ran out of the inner space of the broken knife.
"Little guy, next time I go back to Noqi City, I'll invite you to a big meal for a week, okay?" Lin Xi immediately bribed the little guy with a delicious temptation to prevent the little guy from going crazy in advance.
In the darkness, by the moonlight, the little one's big bright eyes winked at Linsey.
"Really?" the little guy clearly meant.
Lin Xi said in his heart, I didn't fulfill my promise to you, even in the wilderness, I have helped you do such troublesome things as making a fire and roasting pheasants more than once, so naturally I won't play tricks on you.
But at this time, he really couldn't accuse the little guy a few words, so Lin Xi had to nod solemnly: "Of course, I mean what I say." ”
The little guy pursed his lips and tilted his head to think for a moment, and then fluttered his little wings, and reluctantly agreed.
"You little glutton, if you want to eat delicious food, just admit it, and you have to ask me to find a step for you to come down. Lin Xi sneered, but immediately picked up the broken knife again and waited for another uncle.
Knowing that the little guy was woken up by the mad Shura in the broken knife just now, the mad Shura naturally didn't sleep at this time, so Lin Xi said respectfully: "Mad Shura, I'm going to trouble you again." ”
Whenever there is something about Crazy Shura, Lin Xi is always very polite, although the relationship between Crazy Shura and him doesn't seem to be too blunt.
"Do you want to enter the broken knife and let the little guy take you into the palace?"
Although in the internal space of the broken knife, he couldn't come out for a while, but the mad Shura could sense the outside scene, and "saw" a royal palace in front of him, as well as the little white beside him, the mad Shura naturally understood what Lin Xi's plan was.
Soon, just like entering the main peak of the Holy Mountain late at night before, Lin Xi entered the broken knife, and the broken knife was bitten by Xiaobai.
As the little guy the size of a palm fluttered his wings and flew into the air, blending into the night, an alternative but effective sneak into the palace has become, in a sense, a brazen trespass.
Xiaobai has no less wisdom than human beings, although he just woke up, but his head is not confused, after flying to the top of the inner palace, it did not drop the broken knife in front of the house where His Majesty and the concubines lived, but continued to fly to a remote place, and lowered the altitude, looked at a woods where no one lived, and landed.
It was four o'clock in the morning, the deepest time of the day, and there was silence all around, except for the chirping of unknown insects in the trees.
Lin Xi came out of the inner space of the Broken Knife and glanced at the woods. The trees are naturally planted with some precious tree species, either for ornamental or medicinal purposes, and on the left side of the woods, there is a large garden.
"Little one, you took me to the emperor's back garden. ”
Lin Xi smiled bitterly in his heart, of course the little guy couldn't wait to return to the inner space, Lin Xi just felt it.
The back garden was originally an important place, and it was already an extremely private space for His Majesty Loew, and only by relying on the little one's skills could he get here safely and worry-free.
After looking around again to make sure that no one was staring at the woods, Lin Xi stood up quietly and quietly emitted his divine sense.
In an important place like the Inner Palace, it is necessary to take every step of the way, and Lin Xi understands this very well, so only when his divine sense is released and he confirms that there is no danger ahead, he dares to continue to advance.
Moreover, when he sneaked into the inner palace tonight, he had an extremely bad feeling, as if something was going to happen, which can be attributed to his sixth sense, but it was also related to his natural sensitivity to the crisis.
Therefore, in order to try his best to avoid bad things from happening, he did not hesitate to expend a lot of his energy in the dangerous inner palace, and he also wanted to expand his divine consciousness to the maximum.
Nearly ten minutes have passed since such a slow and steady walk, and the back garden of two hundred meters in front of me still looks so far away.
But doing so carefully in the end in exchange for something useful.
After the most recent divine consciousness emanated in a circle, although it confirmed that there was no sign of activity in the area covered, Linxi's heart trembled.
The strong sense of crisis made him feel that there were people moving in the nearby area that his divine sense had not yet covered!
It's already four o'clock in the middle of the night, and if there is still someone guarding the back garden at this time, the identity of the other party is either the same as himself, or he is the absolute master of the Mellon Empire responsible for protecting His Majesty and his family!
No matter who it was, it would be extremely unwise to do so, so Lin Xi immediately stopped, his body was still in the woods, but he squatted down, no longer advancing half a minute, and no longer releasing his divine sense to probe and confirm what he was thinking.
"Squeak. ”
The cries of insects did not stop because of Lin Xi's appearance, but at this time, Lin Xi felt that there was a strange and dangerous feeling in the silent back garden.
Waiting is hard, especially in the face of a situation that has not been confirmed.
Krinthi trusts her instincts and judgment.
It's already past four o'clock, and it's only an hour before dawn, and then to explore the terrain of the inner palace, there is not much time left for him, in order not to let the matter of taking the axe suffer any twists and turns, he would rather choose to temporarily give up the exploration of the inner palace.
Nearly ten minutes later, the front of the back garden, where His Majesty Loew lived, was suddenly brightly lit and full of people.
The voice had reached Linxi's ears some distance away.
"Catch the assassin!"
It's the scream of the guards in shock!
Footsteps sounded in a hurry, and the elite guards in the outer courtyard began to rush to the inner palace from various positions.
It happened so quickly that Lynsey wondered: Why did an assassination take place in the palace just as he was about to steal the axe? Are these assassins really planning to assassinate Loew? Or are they trying to assassinate Loew?
"Don't move, just wait and see. ”
According to common sense, another group of people suddenly appeared in the inner palace, which happened to be able to help him disturb the sight of the people in the palace, and it was a very good choice to take advantage of the chaos and choose to sneak in, but Lin Xi was not ready to do this.
Because, the back garden has not moved yet.
The sound of the collision of weapons came from near the dormitory, and it was obvious that the assassin had been discovered and temporarily blocked, and was engaged with the masters of the inner palace, as for whether he could escape, it was no longer a matter of concern to Lin Xi.
"Whoosh!"
Finally, by the reflection of the brightly lit light of the dormitory, Lin Xi suddenly noticed that several figures appeared in the back garden!
The figure was only a flash, but the direction was behind the dormitory.
Turning the tiger away from the mountain?
But the dormitory is now heavily guarded and brightly lit, even if you bypass the front, it is difficult to ensure that you will not be discovered when you go to the back of the dormitory?
Lynsey wondered in her heart.
At this moment, he didn't have the surprise in his heart after his previous premonition was confirmed, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.
The other party is obviously a group of people divided into two parts, first use the first part of the people to lure the snake out of the hole, and then there are people who are ambushed in the back garden to act, and the target is only the dormitory, but not His Majesty Loew, you know, as soon as the assassination happened, His Majesty Loew has already come out of the dormitory, and at this moment it must be guarded by elite masters, and went to an extremely safe place to hide.
In other words, the goal of this group of people is not to assassinate at all, but to have other plans!
"Couldn't it be that any force has also heard the rumors and wants to obtain the axe and achieve their goal?"
But when he thought about it, things changed again.
The shouts of the guards were moving away, and it seemed that they were heading away from the dormitory.
Lynsey couldn't help but stand quietly a little so that she could see better.
At this glance, Lin Xi immediately found out what the reason was.
The few "assassins" who were besieged before were really powerful, and under the siege of the masters of the inner palace and the guards who came from the outer courtyard, they still had the strength to break through to the outside, forcing a large number of palace masters to stay away from the palace!
"This is the real way to turn the tiger off the mountain!"
Lin Xi sighed silently in his heart, very shocked that the other party estimated the matter to be exactly the same.
It seems that the other party must have stepped on the point before, otherwise he would not be so clear about the defense force of the palace, and know how many masters he has to send to ensure that most of the opponent's personnel are attracted, so as to provide the second batch of team members with the opportunity to approach the palace.
"Just, will they succeed?"
Lynsey muttered inwardly, but had no intention of following, but began to look around, discerning directions and routes, in order to approach the rear of the dormitory from the shortest distance.
Since the unknown group of people may also be coming for the axe, it means that the axe is likely to be placed in His Majesty Loew's bedroom.
Regardless of whether this group of people succeeds in the end or not, he just needs to wait for the rabbit.
In case this group of people is also discovered and the Zeus Axe is not taken out, he naturally will not have a chance to take it out again tonight.
And in case this group of people really used this trick to divert Hu Lishan and successfully took out the axe, he didn't mind playing the role of robbing halfway.
The so-called praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and the yellow finch refers to himself.
Lynsey was soon proved right in her judgment.
Because just when a few people who quietly emerged from the back garden, got rid of the defense of those guards, and were about to approach the back of the dormitory, the back of the dormitory suddenly became brightly lit.
A smug voice made Lynsey hear it more clearly.
"It's just that as you wish, we have also laid a net, waiting for you to drill it. Ladies and gentlemen, just accept your fate, I want you to know that not everyone can enter the palace of the Mellon Empire!"
The sound of the fight soon sounded behind the dormitory, and Lin Xi stood up straight, and by the cover of the trees and the light around the dormitory, he tried to condense his vision, and carefully read the terrain around the dormitory, and kept it firmly in his mind.
Then, Lin Xi had no intention of fishing in troubled waters at all, turned around and continued to walk towards the depths of the woods, and then let the mad Shura wake up the little guy again, and in the same way as when he entered the inner palace, the little guy bit the broken knife and flew into the air.
It wasn't until he stopped outside the palace that Lin Xi came out of the space inside the broken knife, looking at the brightly lit palace, he knew that tonight's group of people would definitely be wiped out.
The people of the palace clearly knew what kind of strategy this group of people would use, and laid out the game in advance, waiting for them to drill.
"It seems that the royal palace of the Mellon Empire is really unfathomable, and the masters are like clouds. ”
Lin Xi was glad that he did not act rashly, if his whereabouts were really exposed, even if he escaped safely in the end, the palace would be vigilant.
And now, the people in the palace must think that the opponent is completely annihilated, and maybe they will relax their vigilance in the future.
The basic terrain has been explored clearly, and it is estimated that the Zeus Axe is also in His Majesty's dormitory, and tonight's exploration is not nothing, as for how to get the Zeus Axe, Lin Xi has no good way at the moment, seeing that the sky is about to dawn, Lin Xi took one last look at the majestic palace and left quietly.
