Chapter 164: Night Exploration Palace
Song Qingyun has been recuperating in the inn, and Mu Qingao has not been by her side all the time, but it has made her feel a lot more at ease.
Doubao's incident in Rongcheng was an inaccurate news that Mu Qingao got.
In the past few days, Mu Qingao's subordinates have pretended to be people with different identities, and they have gone in and out of various places in the streets and alleys, but they have not found any clues.
At night, there were several people sitting in Mu Qingao's room, and Liu Yanping turned his head at the man sitting in the shadows while flicking the flame of the candle.
Kang Yu is very restrained, he is only sixteen years old this year, probably because he was too well protected by Brother Wang, after being kidnapped by Mu Qingao, he became six gods and was at a loss.
"Yanping, don't get that candle, come and sit down." Mu Qingao finally raised his head from the pile of papers, pointed to the stool in front of him and said.
Kang Yu was nervous and uncomfortable, and the men kept staring at him after they sat down, making him feel like he was being tried in three sessions.
"Kang Yu, when you snatched Qian Xishun's goods, did you see a three-year-old little doll?" Mu Qingao asked patiently and in a calm voice as much as possible.
"I've never seen it before, and besides, how can a small child sneak into a caravan?"
This has been mentioned more than once, but Mu Qingao would rather believe it and never miss any opportunity to find Doubao.
"Are the goods you stole in the palace now?"
Kang Yu lowered his head and did not speak, rubbing the corners of his clothes with his hands restlessly.
"You draw a map of the palace, but think about it carefully, don't think about it." Mu Qingao threw the pen and paper, but Kang Yu didn't answer it with a white face.
Seeing this, Liu Yanping, who had already begun to study ink, kindly persuaded him, "Does His Highness the Seventh not like me to study ink for you?" In this way, tell Boss Qian to work harder, I heard that he has been serving you all these days, so I will call him in. ”
"Don't ......" Kang Yu grabbed Liu Yanping's sleeve in a panic, raised his head and looked at Mu Qingao pitifully.
"I've been held hostage by you for so many days, I should tell me who you are, right?"
"Didn't the money shopkeeper tell you?" Mu Qingao was a little surprised, with Qian Xishun's urine, he couldn't hide his words, that day he found that Qian Xishun went to Kangjue alone, and thought that he had revealed his details.
Kang Yu pouted, like an angry resentful woman.
This guy is as simple as a blank piece of paper, no wonder he can act as Kangjue's thug without regrets, and go out to do some dirty things like robbery.
"I am the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Mu Qingao, they are all my subordinates."
"Contemptible Liu Yanping, the prince's adviser." Liu Yanping stood up and introduced it generously and decently.
"Jiang Duel!" Jiang Jie, who had a coffin face, and the wounds on his body were good, standing behind Mu Qingao, just like death coming, without any expression on his face.
"Sweep away the pioneers of the evil Hu people, Lin Xu Ao."
Kang Yu raised his chin and looked at the four great gods in front of him, his body was all sifted with chaff, he never expected that the black-hearted prince who was mighty and stuffed was right in front of him, his eyes were beaded, and he was frightened and fainted.
"That's too vegetable, isn't it?" Lin Xu was stunned by Kang Yu, who was unconscious, and a sense of frustration that hated iron could not become steel spontaneously.
Mu Qingao expected this scene, and he deliberately put pressure on Kang Yu, just to make him recognize the reality.
What he didn't expect was that Kang Jue was able to calm down and not come to the Gaosheng Inn to find him for five days in a row, wasn't his proposal tempting enough?
Stuffed Kang Yu back into his own room, Mu Qingao, Jiang Jue, and Lin Xuao changed into night clothes respectively, and took advantage of the darkness to enter the palace wall.
Qian Xishun took the initiative to draw the map of the palace, and he honestly confessed that he had only been to a small part, and the rest of the other places did not know at all, and they all said that Kang Jue was treacherous and cunning, and maybe those inaccessible places hid unknown secrets.
The three of them acted separately, and Mu Qingao went straight to Kangjue's bedroom.
Since Xie Min broke into the palace that day, Kang Jue gathered all the servants together and scolded him, and then strengthened the security measures of the palace.
Mu Qingao had to give up when he went around to the second line of defense, and the courtyard of Nuoda was brightly lit, and there were no less than fifty guards patrolling back and forth.
It seems that Kangjue has done all the bad things, and he is afraid that he will be killed by evil ghosts in the middle of the night!
Mu Qingao had no choice but to withdraw and hide behind a wall, intending to touch the layout of the palace first.
Avoiding a place with many guards, Mu Qingao sneaked into an empty house, where there was not even furniture, and a napping little girl was sitting in the corner.
Pushing open the doors of the other rooms, the same empty rooms were guarded by a servant, young or old.
Mu Qingao frowned, Kang Jue had no reason to do this, especially since his dormitory was guarded by everyone, could it be that someone also came to assassinate him?
With doubts in his heart, Mu Qingao was even more cautious, and after turning a few corridors, he met Lin Xuao, who was also confused, in a garden.
But he was holding something in his arms, and he could smell a strange fragrance when he got close.
"What are you taking?" Mu Qingao asked coldly.
"Big brother, the thief doesn't go empty, we can't come to Kangjue's palace for nothing, right?" Lin Xuao lifted the wrap in his shirt, and it was a half-cooked roast leg of lamb.
“…… Are you a thief? ”
Lin Xu Ao wrapped the leg of mutton in his shirt and tucked it into his belt, and said with a cheeky smile, "Big brother, I'm taking back our own leg of mutton from Da Zhou, and I'm at ease." ”
"Okay, don't be poor, the layout of the palace tonight is very weird, is there any news from Jiang Jue?"
"No, the place I went to was also heavily guarded, Kang Jue is a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death, will he know that we are coming over tonight?"
"Impossible." Mu Qingao shook his head resolutely, thought for a moment and said, "You retreat to the door for the time being, if I don't go back in three quarters of an hour, you two will go back to the inn first." ”
"Big brother, if you want to go together, where are you going next?"
Mu Qingao glanced at him with disgust and pointed to his placket, "You hide for me, don't be roasted as a leg of lamb when the time comes." ”
Lin Xu Ao had no choice but to give up, "Big brother, be careful, don't forget that your sister-in-law is still waiting for you to come back safely at the inn." ”
Mu Qingao nodded, the two did not make small talk, they slipped in different directions, and soon Mu Qingao appeared near the stable of the palace.
Lin Xu Ao said that before they entered the city, they met a group of Hu people and snatched their war horses, and only the Kangjue brothers could do this, in order to expand their strength, these two people really did evil in everything.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the horses in the stable had begun to step on their hooves restlessly, and the old man who kept the horses came out with a windproof lamp, and after walking around the stable, he found nothing unusual, so he hung the wind lamp on a post on the edge of the stable.
He stared at the few horses that refused to graze, which had just been brought over yesterday, and the fur where the saddle was placed was polished, and it looked like a war horse that had been on the battlefield.
He has kept horses for decades and is very fond and obsessed with this creature. But his upbringing told him that no matter how much he likes it, he shouldn't rob others of what he has.
War horses usually have a deep relationship with their owners, and they don't eat or drink until now, I'm afraid they miss their masters!
