Three days have passed, and Wu Liangzi still hasn't returned.

At this time, it was already the fifth day after Tan Yiju's prediction of the Beast Spiritualization, but there was still no news from Wu Liangzi. Where did she go? Did she go back to the country of the Cow Prisoner with the Beast Spirit Weapon? Or was she captured? No, no, no, no, no, there should be no accident, she must have not come back until now because the time of the beast transformation was a few days late, it must be like this......

Nine and a half walked around the courtyard by himself, thinking wildly. The group of Nine and a Half is currently living together in all the courtyards of a tavern in Swallowing Ridge City, and the entire courtyard is rented by Tan Yiju. In fact, Jiuban didn't know why Tan Yiju had so much money, and Wei Xicheng couldn't understand how a person with so much money would choose to live in seclusion in a remote place like Xiaoyin Village?

"Nine-and-a-half! something's wrong!" Suddenly, his ramblings were interrupted by Wei Xiyan's voice. When he came back to his senses, Wei Xicheng walked over to him with an anxious face, and said as he walked: "Lu Shu told me that Wu Liangzi seems to be in the palace now!"

"What are you talking about?" Hearing Wei Xicheng's words, Jiuhan was taken aback and then continued: "How did Lu Shu tell you? If Lu Shu can speak, then its realm has reached the point of surpassing the "holy" realm, and nine and a half is equivalent to a big tree!

Of course, Lu Shu is not a combat-type spirit animal, but it should not be underestimated.

Wei Xicheng seemed to feel that he was in a little too anxious, so he sorted out his thoughts on his own, and then explained: "No...... Here's the thing. Isn't it already past the agreed time for Wu Liangzi's return today, but I'm a little worried that she hasn't come back yet. So I asked Lu Shu if I could find Wu Liangzi, and then Lu Shu took me outside the palace wall of the Kiss Palace, you say this ......" After saying this, Wei Xicheng also had some helpless looks.

As Wei Xicheng's words fell, the figure of Lu Shu above the eaves fell, and the message in his eyes at the moment when he looked at Jiuhan was: That's right, Wu Liangzi was indeed in the palace.

Now, it's the turn of nine and a half to be anxious. At this time, it was already past dusk, and the sky was turning from dark to even darker, and the panic of the nine and a half was not worth mentioning in this dim sky. I said..... Or we ..... No, no, no......." As the saying goes, caring is chaotic, and caring for Wu Liangzi seems to make him a little incoherent.

Wei Xicheng, who saw Jiuhan's attitude, was actually very worried about Wu Liangzi's safety, otherwise he would not have taken Lu Shu to take the initiative to find Wu Liangzi's traces, so he hurriedly said: "Jiuhan, don't worry, we will sneak into the palace tonight, Wu Liangzi must be there!"

"That's right!" Jiu Ban said excitedly, but then he spit out again, and said a little frustratedly: "If Tan Yiju should be better, then at least there will be more people and more strength." It's just that Tan Yiju was not there, in fact, on the third day after being cured of the ninth and a half, Tan Yiju left the courtyard where they lived. He claimed to have gone out to collect medicines, and there were a few rare medicinal herbs in the Yunyun Peak in Swallowing Spine City, and he would come back after picking them.

It's just that these days have passed, and Tan Yiju has no news at all.

Without further ado, it can't be too late to save people, Jiu Ban and Wei Xi took the moment to make a decision, and after the sky was completely dark, they changed into night clothes and went out to the palace.

Located in the very center of Ridge Swallowing City, the Palace is extremely large and almost a quarter the size of Swallowing Ridge City. Perhaps due to the warlike and cruel nature of the people of the Kiss Country, the palace walls of this imperial city were built extremely tall and thick, far more than any capital city that Nine-and-a-half had ever seen.

It took a long time for Jiuhan and Wei Xicheng to quietly climb the high palace wall. The moment they climbed the palace wall, both of them were shocked by the scene in front of them: there was not a single torch or oil lamp in the huge palace city, but it was dotted with night pearls one after another. There are night sky and stars in the sky, and the night pearls in the palaces on the ground are like stars one after another, lighting up the palace. Heaven and earth take care of it, and it is beautiful.

Actually, it's purely related to the customs of the land of the kiss. The people of the country love water and are afraid of fire, so almost no family has the habit of lighting torches or candles at night. The homes of the rich are lit by candles with night pearls, while the poor live in the dark. Therefore, although the people of the country are fierce and cruel, it is a rare nation on the mainland that adheres to the habit of "sunrise and sunset". Correspondingly, most people's night vision is very outstanding.

Wei Xicheng, who was squatting on the city wall, looked at all this in front of him blankly, and said to Jiu Ban with some incredulity: "Jiu Ban...... What do you think this is?"

Jiuhan was also very surprised, and seemed to be speechless for a while. After a long while, he barely managed to squeeze out a few words and said, "I want to ...... That's probably money, right?"

Two hours later, Wei Xicheng and Jiuhan collapsed on the roof of a palace.

They were just too tired.

"I said Nine-and-a-half, when are we going to find the bottom like this?" Wei Xicheng, who was slumped on the roof, gasped and said to Nine-and-a-half. In fact, in order to find Wu Liangzi, he and Jiuhan had already searched almost half of the palace with a carpet search, but they still found nothing. At this time, Wei Xicheng's mind was full of regrets, and he thought that it would be good if he could bring Lu Shu to the palace city, at least they could find people faster by relying on Lu Shu's nose.

But what's the use of regretting? It's already close to a watchday, and then go back to find Lushu at this time? It's almost impossible to achieve, besides, Lushu's body size and the gorgeous colors on his body, I'm afraid that if you bring it into the palace, you will be discovered, right?

Jiu Ban was also panting, and said breathlessly, "I..... I don't know. But at least, at least you can get something out of it, right?" he said as he hammered his chest, which was so much physical exertion that he was now not only sore in his chest, but also breathing a little unevenly.

Wei Xicheng seemed to want to say something, but then an angry shout came from the palace where they were, directly interrupting his train of thought.

"I'm so annoyed, ah!!" followed by a series of smashing sounds, as if someone was demolishing the house. Hearing this voice, Jiu Ban and Wei Xicheng looked at each other as if they had discovered some new continent. Neither of them spoke, but gently picked up a tile under them and quietly looked down.

"What kind of crime do you say, what kind of crime do I suffer day by day?" In the vision of Wei Xiyan and Jiuhan, a tall man with a beard opened the mountains of dossiers in front of him with a punch, and after those dossiers were lifted into the sky, he chopped them to pieces with a few knives in his hand, and then slowly fell down as if it were snowing.

Wei Xicheng and Jiuhan glanced at each other, as if they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, but the two sides didn't say anything, just the eye contact was enough to convey the message.

It was a side hall, and it seemed that the people in that hall were unusual, so there were no guards around. You must know that the palace is heavily guarded, and Jiuhan and Wei Xicheng have suffered a lot before. In the side hall, the man was a little unscrupulous, smashing and scolding everywhere and seemed to imagine the open space in front of him as a group of people, and said loudly: "You say you, you pigs who always want to hollow out the country's gold and silver every day and try their best to make a fortune for themselves, is it easy for Lao Tzu to serve you day by day, eh?"

"You say that you are not good enough for you day by day, is it not good enough, not good enough, or not good enough? Especially you, Prime Minister Zuo!" As he spoke, this person grabbed a handful of his right hand forward, as if he had lifted a person alive and said: "How much income the country can only have in a year, and you alone eat a quarter, don't you know it? Do you think I don't know that your mansion built just outside the palace has several vaults, several secret rooms, several tunnels, and a few unsightly concubines? Let me tell you, I know everything!"

After scolding this so-called Prime Minister Zuo, he let go of his hand and looked at another person on the side, and also opened his mouth and scolded: "And you, what kind of bullshit general Zhengxi? If it weren't for the shadow of your Lao Tzu, if it weren't for the fact that your Lao Tzu had a few reliable brothers, you wouldn't know whether to farm on the edge of the East China Sea or the South China Sea now!"

It seemed that the more he scolded, the more excited he became, and after this person scolded a few more people, his whole body began to tremble, and then he grabbed his scalp, and under the stunned eyes of Jiuhan and Wei Xicheng, he suddenly lifted up a layer of skin on his head, and turned to reveal another face!

It turns out that this person used a disguise technique!

Then, the bald head with a fierce face after taking off his skin turned around and sat on a chair in the hall, and said with a scolding grin: "It's really unlucky, if it weren't for the sake of dominating the world, Lao Tzu wouldn't be willing to pretend to be this bullshit emperor!"

I'm afraid the result can't be more obvious, it turns out that the monarch of the country of the kiss is being faked, and the fake person is sitting under their noses!

Shocked, Nine and a Half and Wei Xicheng were almost completely taken aback. There was nothing in the world that could have been more shocking than what they had just heard. It is simply a big joke that the monarch of the country of the kiss, the monarch of one of the nine kingdoms, and even one of the three countries that provoked the war, was faked! If the monarch can be replaced by others, then what can not be fake?

It's just that the shock of these two people didn't last long, only a "squeak" was heard, and the back door of the palace was opened, and a man with sword eyebrows walked in. This person is more than seven feet tall, handsome and heroic, and there is no lack of battle-hardened heroism in his temperament. He strode up to the pretending monarch and said, "Tanuki, where did you get so angry?"

"You'd better take care of yourself first!" The man known as the tanuki rejected the other party's words as soon as he opened his mouth, and then said angrily: "Brother, I didn't say you, you said that you are a person above 10,000 people, and the head of the country of the kiss, how can you be fascinated by a woman? I tell you that I can't look down on a witch-tailed general like you! It is impossible for anyone in the entire army to look down on you!"

"Hey, why was I fascinated by a woman, do you mean?" That's right, the man standing in front of the tanuki at this moment was the witchtail in crimson armor a few days ago, and at this time, he smiled and said to the tanuki in front of him without any anger. After all, the man who was sitting in front of him at the moment was the titular Kiss Monarch, and even more so his brother.

Facing Wu Wei's tone, the tanuki chuckled lightly, and said with some amusement: "I haven't lost my soul yet, I can't figure out what is so good about that woman, she can actually let you take out the Heavenly Pill? You must know that there are only three of them in the entire Kiss Palace, what will you do after you use it now?!!

Hearing the words of the tanuki, Wu Wei, who was concerned, smiled slightly, and then sat down beside him and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's my private matter, you don't have to worry about it." It's you, I'll be honest, there's no need to be angry about those maggots, you know?"

Listening to Witcho's words, the tanuki's tone quickly softened and then said, "I don't want to either...... But what if I don't harden myself? After all, I am now the nominal ruler of this country, so can I indulge them like this?"

"It's okay, they won't live long. ”

"I won't live long? ”

Faced with the Tanuki's question, Wuwei only said lightly: "When the kingdoms are unified, it will be the day when they will be buried in the belly of the fish. After eating the country's food for so long, it's time to make some contributions. ”

The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook, this is the truth.

Nine and a half who heard the conversation were shocked, he had never seen such a scene: what kind of ambition did the two brothers have to plot an entire continent when they already had a country?

And the conversation below was not over, and then the tanuki asked, "What about the woman?"

Hearing this question, Wuwei, who was still in high spirits just now, seemed to immediately let out a sigh of relief. He sighed softly and said, "What else can I do, let's lock it up first and talk about it later." ”

"Is she really a disciple of Shaohong, the Prisoner of the Cow Country?"

"That's right. Wu Wei waved his left hand, and saw that the ring he was wearing on his left hand suddenly flashed, and Wu Liangzi's staff appeared in his hand. "This staff can't be faked. ”

"That's a good idea. The tanuki who heard the news was a little excited, and he stared at Wu Liangzi's staff and said: "That Shaohong is a powerful figure in a country, and with her disciples, we must have more bargaining chips when we negotiate in the future." ”

"Yes, I hope so. ”

Looking at the staff in his hand, Wu Wei was a little stunned. The time he spent with Wu Liangzi was not short, and he went to see her when he had nothing to do these days, but he couldn't shake her in the slightest. He couldn't believe it, and he couldn't be sure that there seemed to be someone else in her eyes.

Maybe this is what is called, getting people but not getting hearts?

It's ridiculous.

Suddenly, as if sensing something was wrong, he looked over his head almost instinctively. Between the roof tiles on the beams of the house, sure enough, he noticed two glances, and then his hairs stood on end in an instant.

"What man!" With a roar of rage, Wu Wei slapped his palm towards the roof tile. The palm wind was sent out before the palm of the hand, and then a powerful qi was formed and rushed to the sky.

Wuwei's reaction was faster, and Nine-Half's and Wei Xicheng's reaction was even faster. Anyway, no one wants anyone else to know about the fact that the two of them are pretending to be kings.

Towards the powerful momentum of the witch tail, Wei Xi slapped it with a slap. When the two forces met, they directly smashed the roof into a small loophole. Then, Nine Half and Wei Xicheng jumped straight into the loophole and landed in front of Witchtail and Tanuki.

"Who are you?" said the tanuki, looking a little nervous, while the witch tail on the side looked indifferent, as if he didn't care. The encounter between an Assassin who broke into the palace and a brother pretending to be a monarch on the other was dramatic and it was not hard to imagine that neither wanted the palace guards to know about their existence.

Staring at the staff in Wu Wei's hand, Jiuhan's expression was obviously a little unnatural, and he said, "The staff in your hand is Wu Liangzi?"

"Yes, that's true. But how can you recognize it, don't you ......?"

Wu Wei dragged out his voice, as if he wanted to prove something, but Wei Xicheng didn't say anything, he looked at the nine and a half, and finally didn't choose to speak. And Jiu Ban was silent for a long time, and finally opened his mouth, and he said in a very calm and calm tone:

"We are her companions. ”
