Dusk solstice

Before you know it, the sky is dyed red like blood, and the sun hangs on the edge of the mountains, but the Imperial City of Tianwu Kingdom begins to liven up.

For nothing else, the emperor's birthday, the whole country celebrated, countless mortals and monks mixed in the crowd, talking and laughing in the streets and alleys.

And the palace is heavily guarded at the moment, dozens of officers and soldiers are guarding the main entrance of the palace with spears, and from time to time there are uninterrupted spiritual realm monks patrolling together.

It can be said that today's palace is not a human being, and it is difficult for even a fly to fly over.

In a teahouse not far from the palace, a strong man drank hot tea, carried a machete, and glanced towards the palace with a blank look.

And this tall and strong man is the result of Chu Jiuyu's disguise, and he plans to sneak into the palace.

There was still an hour before the sun went down, and Chu Jiuyu sat unhurriedly downstairs in the teahouse, watching the convoy coming in and out of the palace.

He was squatting, and Chu Jiuyu knew that when the birthday banquet was approaching, there must be a lot of teams carrying food and meat into the palace.

So, taking this opportunity, he can find out the convoy that often enters the palace, disguise himself, and blend in.

Chu Jiuyu drank tea while looking at the passing vehicles, secretly remembering it.

The location of the palace is also quite exquisite, built behind the Celestial Star Academy, and there is another side, which is close to the barracks.

According to this construction method, Chu Jiuyu can roughly deduce that as long as something happens to the palace, the surrounding barracks will send troops in an instant to surround the palace.

"You can't ...... east when you run"

Chu Jiuyu secretly wrote down the exact direction of the barracks and thought silently in his heart.

"Another small door...... Chu Jiuyu flashed his eyes, and his eyes glanced at the small door on the side of the main entrance.

Bang bang bang!

At this time, heavy footsteps pierced through the main entrance of the palace, and I saw a Soul Transformation Realm monk walking out of the palace with a team of foundation building realm monks wearing armor.

It seems that this group of people is planning to patrol the imperial city.

"That's you!"

Chu Jiuyu's eagle-like eyes locked on a carriage transporting vegetables.

He observed that the carriage would enter through the small door next to the palace every quarter of an hour, so often and quickly, that almost no one checked the carriage.

The soldier in armor passed by, and Chu Jiuyu was still sipping tea with an unchanged face, retracting his previous scrutinizing eyes.

After about an hour, the sky gradually darkened, but the palace was brightly lit, illuminating the surroundings of the palace as if it were day.

The number of people on the street also began to increase, and the bustling crowd pushed and shoved.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chu Jiuyu took out a gold coin from his pocket and put it on the table, raised his feet and left.

Shuttling through the crowd, Chu Jiuyu's original appearance of a strong man was gone, and he was replaced by a short man with a thief's eyebrows and rat eyes.

"That's it!"

Chu Jiuyu recognized the carriage at a glance, but the carriage was loading vegetables at this time, so he could only squat not far away and wait for the carriage to start.

After a pillar of incense, the carriage was filled with vegetables and pork, and the groom patted the horse's back with satisfaction, and jumped on the horse.

"Drive!" beckoned the groom.

Seeing the carriage moving, Chu Jiuyu, who was standing not far away, found the right time to urge his body and slipped into the carriage.

Listening to the sound of the horse's hooves gradually speeding up, Chu Jiuyu leaned back into the car and curled up under a pile of vegetable leaves.

Soon after, the sound of horses' hooves stopped abruptly.

"Open the door, Imperial Dining Room!"

Crunch......

With the sound of the door opening and the sound of horses' hooves sounding again, Chu Jiuyu, who was hiding in the pile of vegetables, knew that he had successfully entered the palace.

After a while, the sound of the horses' hooves stopped again, and the groom got out of the carriage and hurriedly turned around, ready to unload the vegetables and meat from the carriage.

But when he opened the car door, he saw a strange purple eye.

Chu Jiuyu squinted, the purple light in his eyes was magnificent, and he controlled the groom in his spirit, but the groom's eyes were blank, and he was stunned at the door of the car and did not move.

Chu Jiuyu secretly got out of the carriage, and looked left and right only to find that the place was full of people, steam filled the sky, and the smell of vegetables and meat entered his nose.

"It turned out to be the imperial dining room...... Chu Jiuyu leaned against the wall, bent over, leaned on the cover of several carriages, and touched in.

After walking for a while, the groom shuddered, touched the back of his head, lifted a large piece of meat and walked towards the imperial dining room, but he still felt a little confused in his head.

Chu Jiuyu took light steps and walked into the imperial dining room.

In the imperial dining room, several cooks were stir-frying, and there were several maids waiting around them, as if they were waiting for the dishes to come out of the pot so that they could be served to the master.

"Hey, boy, come here!"

At this time, a cry stopped Chu Jiuyu, who was about to sneak into the crowd.

"Your Excellency, you called me?" Chu Jiuyu had a move, turned his head, and looked at the cook with a big waist and a round waist.

"Nonsense, is there anyone else but you?" The cook was obviously short-tempered, and he casually took a soup spoon and threw it towards Chu Jiuyu.

"Your Excellency, you command. Chu Jiuyu leaned to the left, dodged the soup spoon, walked to the cook's side, and asked.

"Look at you like this, you should be in the emperor's guards, like this...... You just happened to drop by and bring this dish to me. As the cook spoke, he grabbed the man-high cage drawer at his feet and handed it to Chu Jiuyu.

"Well, thank you, sir. Chu Jiuyu took the cage drawer and symbolically trembled.

"Thank you for not needing, only your emperor's guards are dressed like tatters, buy better clothes next time, so as not to stain my cage drawer." The cook pursed his lips with disdain on his face.

Chu Jiu Yu smiled and walked out of the imperial dining room with a cage drawer that was taller than him.

I'm really sad that I have no excuse to enter the palace, this is good, God assists!

But...... Where's the convoy?

This is a problem.,I don't seem to know the address of the escort team.,How can this dish be delivered?

Chu Jiuyu walked to the fork in the road at this time, carrying the figure of the cage drawer for a moment, and glanced at the two roads in front of him.

"Where are you going?" Chu Jiuyu said secretly in his heart, and turned his head to look at the maid who was holding a plate of vegetables like himself.

Seeing that several maids, without exception, they all walked towards the golden avenue on the right.

Chu Jiuyu secretly thought: The decoration of this place must be where Zhao Ye or his concubine lives, and the escort team must be on another road.

Immediately, Chu Jiuyu turned left and walked to the path on the left.

Gradually, Chu Jiuyu realized that something was wrong, from a few people in this place at the beginning, to the end he was the only one on the road.

The air is also getting colder, and the deeper you go, the colder it gets.

The surrounding plants are all withered and felled aside, and the appearance of the plants withering is very abnormal!

It's weird, it's weird!

Tomorrow is Zhao Ye's birthday, and the palace should be crowded at this time, why is there not even a person here?

Just when Chu Jiuyu was wondering, a cold light suddenly flashed behind him, and a sharp knife was placed on his waist.
