I really can't reveal this, I'm just suing Master Sù Zong, it's a matter of importance. No more was said.

Fortunately, Master Zong is also a reasonable person, "I can trust you as a person, since it is inconvenient for you to say, I won't ask more." "I'm very grateful that he can understand us like this, and I'm very grateful that people didn't treat us as Jiangyang thieves who stole national treasures.

After a short silence, I was a little embarrassed to speak, thinking that it would be a bit too much if I brought it up, but Yujie saw my thoughts, and she boldly asked Master Zong:

"Can you help us get into the castle?"

Master Zong's face was embarrassed. I hurriedly said that it's okay, it's okay, we can figure it out ourselves, because if I ask him to help me with this, it will be equivalent to letting him betray his country, even if Master Zong can understand me and believe me, it will be very difficult to involve this kind of thing, and if it is not good, it will hurt him.

He waved his hand and told me not to worry, "This matter is not trivial, let me think about it." ”

At this time, Ling Xiao spoke, "If you really have a way to help us, don't worry, we won't hurt the other people in the castle, and we won't take anything else." This white crystal can also be returned after use, we are not evil people, it is true that we came to find this treasure because of necessity. "Clip the Vertical Technique.

Master Zong nodded, his brows still tightened, "I'm not worried about your character, I also appreciate you." At the beginning, I promised that if someone from my sect could help, I would definitely help. But you know. This enters the castle to steal. It's not a trivial matter, and I have to consider your own safety. ”

"Do you know the layout of the castle? Just give us a map, and that will help us. You don't have to worry about the rest, if we dare to make this decision, we will be more prepared. Besides. We've fought with the Inner Court guards before, and we're a little bit of a bottom in our hearts. ”

After listening to me, Master Zong drew us a map of the castle. Don't look at it as a simple hand-drawn map, but it provides us with important help.

As you can see from the diagram, the castle has seven floors and a basement. Master Zong also specially marked for us which rooms were for the king's guests to discuss politics, and which ones were for banquets, and he had never been to the sixth floor above, it was estimated that they were the bedrooms of the royal family, but there were still many places that were blank.

"Four Tigers, although I have been to the castle, I have not been to every corner, and besides, some places are not allowed for me to go, so this map is just a reference, and it is more important that you act at the opportunity."

Even if he said this, I was already very grateful, "Master Zong, you helped me today, the Four Tigers will remember it in my heart, and I will definitely repay this kindness if I have the opportunity in the future!" ”

He smiled modestly, "Someone in my sect is a businessman, not a big master, you can just call me the sect boss in the future." ”

Before leaving, Boss Zong specially reminded us, "Since the person who wanted to harm you just now is the inner court guard, then you must be careful in this action." ”

When I got back to the tavern, I called everyone else to my room. Because I was afraid of being overheard, I deliberately put a few paper figures outside the wall and guarded outside the tavern, and it was not until we were sure that the tavern was safe that we began to discuss countermeasures.

I unfolded the map and found that in the northeast corner of the castle was a wine cellar, which I thought would be easy to hide and there must be fewer patrols, so we decided to enter the castle from there.

Once inside the castle, we pass through a cloister and go up the stairs directly through the corridor in the middle of the castle.

Since the white crystal is a treasure, the king will definitely keep it closest to him, so his bedroom is most likely.

But going straight to the king's chambers is too risky, so if you can catch a member of the royal family from the sixth floor and coerce you into it, you might be able to know exactly where the crystal is.

There were so many of us who couldn't all go in, and it wasn't necessarily going to work this time, so in the end, it was decided that Ling Xiao and Qianmo and I would go in. Bring Qianmo because her ability allows us to come and go more freely.

We spent the whole day in the tavern in order to wait for the night to fall, as the night hid our tracks very well.

No one was being followed along the way, and we slipped to the east side of the castle.

Except for the three people we were going to enter the castle, everyone else was hiding in the woods outside the castle.

There is a moat outside the castle, which makes it a little more difficult, because I don't know how deep the river is, and at this temperature, it is estimated that it will freeze if you jump in, and the most troublesome thing is that even if you swim over, there is no place to stay on the other side of the river.

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth and was about to jump in, but Qingxue rushed over from behind, "No need to jump!" Let me pave the way for you! ”

That's right! A few of us were so nervous that we forgot that Qingxue could help!

She stood by the moat, holding the eye of the storm in her hands, and the grass around her had begun to frost, and the river was gradually becoming icy.

When the river was completely frozen, the three of us walked to the side of the city wall, and after Qianmo quickly opened a door on the outer wall, I first let a paper figure in, and found that it was indeed a wine cellar and there were no guards, so we were relieved to enter.

I asked the paper figure to sneak out through the crack in the door, but I didn't expect that the guards outside were much stricter than we thought, I thought that there would not be too many guards in such a remote corner, but I didn't expect that a patrol group after patrol passed outside, and we couldn't find a chance to sneak out. And those ordinary guards standing guard are the soldiers we have seen in black armor.

"I've never seen a place so heavily guarded." I watched for a moment, muttering to the two of them.

"They won't know about our operation again, will we?" Qianmo was a little worried.

"Unlikely, unless the man has clairvoyance." Ling Xiao analyzed.

Using the green crystal can help us evade these soldiers, but Lord Guan once told me not to use it for too long, and not too many times in a short period of time. But seeing that I can't find a suitable opportunity, I have only this way now. It's just that you have to find a place to hide immediately, otherwise the green crystal will be found directly after it fails.

The three of us walked out of the cellar and brazenly walked under the noses of the black-helmeted guards. We walked through the cloister to the middle hall, at the end of which was the staircase.

We quickly came to the staircase, but just a few steps up, two groups of patrol guards came down from the stairs, and even though they couldn't see us, we couldn't get through the wall, so we had to retreat to the bottom of the stairs.

The line of guards is long, and we're standing on the side of the staircase railing right now, and any patrolman who leans a little more on my side will step on my feet, and the biggest problem is that I've been using green crystals for too long, and we'll probably be exposed in a second.

I looked back, and there was no place to hide in the empty hall, and there were some rooms in the corridors on the left and right, but there was no guarantee that there would be no one inside.

This staircase leads down to the lower floor of the castle, which is usually a storage room or a servant's room, and there are certainly not so many guards that allow us to take shelter for a while. It seems that there is only one way to go now. I winked at Ling Xiao and Qianmo, and we turned and walked down the stairs.

As soon as we came down, we hid directly under the stairs, there were no guards here, and I immediately removed the cover of the green crystal. Suddenly, I heard a strange sound, like some kind of grinding of teeth, mixed with the sound of small footsteps, echoing eeriely through the hallway.

"Did you hear that?" I pricked up my ears and listened.

Qianmo nodded, "It seems to be the sound of sucking." ”

At this time, Ling Xiao also heard, "Could it be that the maid is drinking soup?" ”

I don't think something is right, such a big movement, how many servants have to drink soup together!
