"Just in case, let's steal it together, it's good to increase the success rate some." Zhong Ling suggested.

It seems that there is no other way at the moment, Shen Yichi had no choice but to agree, and then sent Dayin and Lou Chen to two places respectively.

But the previous concerns are not superfluous after all, seeing that tomorrow is the last opportunity for the Empress Dowager and Cao Xiangong to turn the tables, how can they not strengthen their vigilance at this time?

The Cao family alone is enough for Dayin to have a headache.

Don't look at Cao Xiangong now losing power in the court, this mansion is still a master, and Da Yin doesn't know how much effort it took to climb up to this roof quietly.

Seeing that there were patrols in the yard all night, Dayin really couldn't find a chance to start for a while, but time was limited, if he didn't take advantage of the night to do it, it would be too late until dawn.

"It's not completely dark yet, just wait." Da Yin then waited on the rooftop.

On the other hand, I thought that Lou Chen had been monitoring Ci'an Palace for a long time, and it was not difficult to sneak in, but who would have thought that the old woman of the Empress Dowager would also send so many people to protect her, which confirmed Zhong Ling's guess that there must be ghosts in this Ci'an Palace.

How is this good, Lou Chen simply convinced Shen Yichi, what did he think of letting him have a dark guard leader come to be a gentleman on the beam, if this is passed down to the bottom, where can he put his old face?

But who called him master? Don't ask, to ask is to do what you are told.

Lou Chen had no choice but to make a move, only to see him casually take out a jade flute from his waist, and in an instant, a melodious flute sound had already lingered for dozens of miles.

Even Zhong Ling, who was far away in the East Palace, could hear it clearly, and couldn't help but sit up from the bed: "Where did the flute sound come from?" ”

Zhong Ling has led troops to fight all these years, and he has seen all kinds of strange roads, this kind of flute sounds wonderful, but in fact it is extremely weird, and it often hurts people invisibly, I didn't expect it to be heard in the palace.

Hearing the sound, Shen Yichi, who was lying beside her, also hurriedly sat up, and her first reaction was to reach out and cover Zhong Ling's ears, she was suddenly stunned, and looked at him with a confused face.

"Don't listen, this is Lou Chen's soul sound." Shen Yichi explained.

Zhong Ling was taken aback: "Soul sound? How else will Lou Chen do this? ”

Forehead...... Why do you think Zhong Ling still has some admiration.

Shen Yichi didn't care, just nodded: "The sound of the flute came from the direction of Ci'an Palace, he should be about to start acting, it seems that the entire palace can sleep all night tonight." ”

"This flute sounds so magical? Lullaby? The more Zhong Ling spoke, the more excited he became, and Shen Yichi was speechless: "Soul sound." ”

How could the tall skills of other people reach Zhong Ling's mouth as if they were joking, there is really nothing they can do about her.

"It doesn't matter what he is, sleep is the most important thing, you let go of me, I'm going to be hypnotized." There is really no one in this brain circuit, Shen Yichi shook his head helplessly, and then let go of his hand.

The Empress Dowager naturally heard the flute, but the distance was too close and her skills were too strong, and before she could notice the abnormality, the whole person had already fallen asleep.

They probably all thought that the masters around Shen Yichi were just reckless men who danced knives and guns, who would have thought that Lou Chen, who looked like he didn't have much sense of existence on weekdays, would have such unfathomable hidden skills? I can't prevent it now.

At the end of the song, seeing that the people patrolling the yard fell one after another, Lou Chen jumped down unscrupulously, and when he passed by the group of people, he didn't forget to hook the corners of his mouth and laughed: "Vulnerable." ”

In this way, Lou Chen strode into the hall, and went straight to the painting that Zhong Ling pointed to, took off the scroll, and the dark grid behind it appeared.

The corner of Lou Chen's mouth hooked: "Sure enough." He then reached out and opened the small door of the hidden compartment, but it was locked?

It's all in, what's the problem with picking a lock? It's just that this lock looks so weird, it looks like I've seen it somewhere.

After thinking for a long time, Lou Chen finally remembered: "Wasn't this sent to the first emperor by the envoy of the Western Regions that year?" The first emperor in his mouth is naturally Xia Ling's first emperor, that is, Shen Yichi's unobtrusive father.

But since it is Xia Ling's object, how can it appear in Ci'an Palace? Could it be Shen Tianyu? There was no one else but him.

Thinking about it, even the Empress Dowager herself probably didn't know the origin of this lock, but it was a coincidence that Lou Chen actually knew, isn't this a question for sending points? Lou Chen immediately took out Xia Ling's unique demon spirit pollen from his arms.

The Demon Spirit Flower is a strange flower that grows in the swampy land, it is also medicine and poison, and the powder developed can corrode everything in the world, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is the same as sulfuric acid, but in Xia Ling, except for Shen Yichi, no one else has this concept.

These were originally used for self-defense, but I never thought that they would come in handy here.

I saw Lou Chen open the porcelain bottle filled with pollen and knock it lightly to the position of the lock, and the originally indestructible material was instantly corroded.

Lou Chen immediately opened the secret grid, only to see that there was not only a tiger talisman in it, but also two strange tokens and a bunch of secret letters, he suddenly hesitated: "These ...... Do you want to bring it back to Your Majesty? ”

Just as he was hesitating, there was a sudden movement behind him, Lou Chen's heart tightened, and before he had time to think, he took the contents into his arms, and then found a place to squat.

It's just that he hasn't heard a sound for a long time, and Lou Chen knows that he is making a fuss, so he slowly stood up: This won't work, in case the Empress Dowager sees things disappear tomorrow......

But Lou Chen only brought a fake tiger talisman on his body, and the letter was okay to say, after opening the envelope, the letter and only taking away the letter inside could resist for a while, but how to forge these tokens?

Thinking about it this way, Lou Chen hurriedly looked at the token in his hand, one was the gold medal of forgiveness of death, and the other was ...... This familiar font is...... Xia Ling's clearance token? Shen Tianyu even gave this to the Empress Dowager?

"Forget it, she can go as she goes, it doesn't matter after all." Thinking about it this way, Lou Chen put the token back, leaving only the tiger talisman and a bunch of stationery without envelopes.

As for the broken lock, I think there should be more people who come to Shen Yichi's place, so let's go back first

Time.

Lou Chen immediately restored the painting and hurried back to the East Palace.

At this time, it was the middle of the night, Zhong Ling was urged to fall asleep by the sound of Lou Chen's flute, and Shen Yichi was worried, tossing and turning, and unable to sleep.

"Your Majesty." There was a sneaky voice from Lou Chen outside the door, and he didn't have to think about it to know that Shen Yichi would definitely not be able to sleep peacefully at this time.

Sure enough, before Lou Chen could call twice, Shen Yichi had already gotten up and opened the door: "Come in and talk." Then the two went to the main hall.

"How's it going?" Shen Yichi was wearing a thin cloak and asked Lou Chen with a serious face.

Lou Chen immediately handed over the things in his hand: "Fortunately, my subordinates have exchanged the tiger talismans, in addition, I also found these letters in the secret grid, as well as a death-free gold medal and Xia Ling's customs clearance token." ”

"Xia Ling's clearance token?" Shen Yichi was also puzzled, although he had already known about the Empress Dowager and Shen Tianyu's alliance, but there were thousands of mountains and rivers in between, and she really had no reason to go so far.

Unless...... Unless this is Shen Tianyu's quid pro quo and promise to contain the Empress Dowager regardless of success or failure?

Shen Yichi was thinking that Lou Chen's side could not be delayed, and then he spoke to him: "My subordinates still have something to ask for." ”

"Say."

"My subordinates have broken the lock of the dark grid as a last resort, and I ask Your Majesty to give it another." Lou Chen's words were not clear, and Shen Yichi couldn't help but roll his eyes: "I have to solve the problem of changing the lock?" ”

Seeing Shen Yichi's questioning, Lou Chen hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, it's just that the Empress Dowager used the seven-trick exquisite lock left by the first emperor." ”

"Seven exquisite locks? Is it the kind of lock that takes seven keys to open? "Look at what Shen Yichi asked, where does it seem like there are too many? Lou Chen couldn't help but panic: "Dare to ask Your Majesty if there is still this kind of lock?" ”

Shen Yichi shook his head unexpectedly: "The manufacturing process of this lock is extremely complicated, and it was only my father who had this one in his hand, Shen Tianyu was willing to give such a precious thing to the Empress Dowager, it seems that he is really determined to deal with me." ”

Isn't that the point now? The point is that the dust of your house has collapsed people's locks, how to solve it.

Shen Yichi was also a little embarrassed for a while, and thought for a long time before he spoke: "In this way, you send these letters back and steal the gold medal for avoiding death." "Is he planning to divert the Empress Dowager's attention and make her think that they are here to steal the gold medal from death?

That's fine, anyway, I got all the things that should be taken, and tomorrow will be the congratulations of all nations, and even if the Empress Dowager really finds out something, it will be too late.

Lou Chen then nodded: "The subordinates obey the order." Then he sneaked back to Ci'an Palace and carried out the order.

On the other side, he finally waited until midnight, and the cold wind blew on the roof of Cao's house for two whole hours, and Dayin almost thought of this idea.

"Since you don't leave me a way to live, then I have no choice but not to be kind." Thinking like this, Dayin immediately lit the arrow in his hand and threw it towards the Cao family's study.

It didn't take long for smoke to fill the air, followed by a commotion: "It's on fire, come and put out the fire!" "Originally

The guards who were on patrol rushed to extinguish the fire.

Cao Xiangong has always been stingy, no one in Cao's mansion doesn't know, the study is his most precious place, I don't know how many treasures are hidden in it, this time it's on fire, if he loses something, he can't tell how to go crazy.

But then again, if it weren't for this, how could Da Yin have specially picked up the study to burn?

was watching, only to see that Cao Xiangong was already wearing the clothes he was wearing in front of him and rushed out of the room in a hurry, shouting in his mouth: "What's the matter!" ”

"Master, the study and study are on fire." The slave who passed by said tremblingly, and Cao Xiangong was suddenly furious: "What? Den? ”
