Chapter 35: Infiltration (Second Vote)
In a courtyard facing the street, the Demon Queen and Meng Qi pushed open the door of the wing.
"Your Excellency. The people in the room quickly got up, their expressions of awe and respect to the point of reverence.
As soon as he saw him, Meng Qi understood the Demon Queen's infiltration plan, because this was a middle-aged eunuch, judging from the costume, he should be a eunuch of no low rank, it seemed that it was a secret chess piece arranged by the Demon Gate many years ago, and it finally came in handy today.
The Imperial City is indeed impregnable, but who can grasp the hearts of the people? Meng Qi suddenly rose with this emotion.
The Demon Queen nodded reservedly: "This matter is dangerous, what other wishes do you have to fulfill?"
This kind of thing, once it is discovered, the Demon Queen, Meng Qi and the others can still rely on their martial arts to escape, and this eunuch will have no luck!
The middle-aged eunuch said excitedly: "My subordinates are willing to go to the soup for the revival of the Holy Gate, and they will not hesitate to do so!"
"Okay, very good, now that this is the case, you will go back to the door and take on the heavy responsibility. "The Demon Queen is not a leader who learns martial arts and learns to be stupid, so she naturally knows how to give encouragement and win people's hearts.
She turned her head to look at Meng Qi and the others and introduced: "Yu Tongen, the eunuch in charge of purchasing." ”
Ordinary eunuchs are generally called chamberlains, eunuchs, etc., and those who can be called "eunuchs" are at least the head of a certain affairs in the palace, this Yu Tongen is obviously the person who went out of the palace to buy the palm print, and he can sit in this position where the oil and water are very rich, and his relationship with the big eunuchs in the palace is not bad, so Meng Qi was relieved a lot when he heard this.
Nodding their heads to each other and saying hello, the demon queen said concisely: "After entering the palace, wait for the night to fall and the palace door is locked, I will go directly to the Qinzheng Hall to raid Wang Derang and entangle him, you sneak into the Taiji Hall to confirm the old guy's condition." ”
The Qinzheng Hall is the place where the emperor deals with daily affairs, and the next side is the place where the government hall is on duty, and the right minister Wang Derang stayed overnight when he was forbidden. Generally live here, it is very close to the Taiji Hall as the emperor's bedroom, with the strength of the right phase, guarding here is equivalent to guarding the Taiji Palace, preventing someone from assassinating the emperor and tampering with the will - as a foreign minister, it is not in line with etiquette to stay directly in the emperor's bedroom, and Wang Derang is a great Confucian who respects the ancients.
"I need Ouchi's defense arrangement and patrol roadmap. "Although Meng Qi has the illusion Dafa in his body, there are many masters in the palace, and he may be seen through by someone sharply. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on normal infiltration.
Yu Tongen didn't say much, and directly took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Meng Qi: "Burn them after reading." ”
In the following time, Meng Qi worked with Luo Shengyi and Ruan Yushu to study the defense layout and patrol route map, and discussed the matter of infiltration.
When it was time to Shen, the sun was gradually setting in the west, and Yu Tongen got up and said, "I have to buy it and return to the palace, please do it." ”
He took Meng Qi and the others through a secret passage to the warehouse in the courtyard next door, where there were pigs, cows, sheep, melons, fruits and vegetables. A total of nine carts were loaded.
"The belly of the pig and the belly of the cow have been emptied, you can hide in it, remember to breathe lightly. Yu Tongen admonished.
Meng Qi frowned slightly: "There is one more person, and the traces and sounds of the wheels pressing the ground are different." ”
The weight will obviously vary. The guards at the palace gate are all good guards, and it is impossible not to be aware of this aspect.
"Only the outer layer of the bottom dozen bags of flour is real, and the inside is confetti and silk and other soft things, plus one person is just right. "Yu Tongen was not negligent in this regard.
Because the weight of a person is good to disguise. It's more troublesome for a few people, so Meng Qi and the four Demon Queen are divided into four cars, and there is no problem with the other five cars. False and real, true and false.
Meng Qi had no doubts, picked a fat pig, got in, and the bloody breath came to his nose, and the middle man wanted to vomit and breathe hard.
He used the Golden Bell Jar Method, his breathing became weak, and he fell into a state of half-turtle breath, and then Yu Tongen sewed the abdominal incisions of fat pigs, cows and sheep one by one with silk threads, and covered them with vegetables, melons and fruits, etc., which was difficult to distinguish at first glance.
After doing this, he summoned the little eunuchs in the courtyard outside, put on their horses, and drove the cart back to the palace.
Meng Qi only felt that his body was up and down, and sometimes he touched a bulge, and he trembled, and after a long time, the carriage stopped, and he faintly heard a voice: "Father-in-law, it's another bumper harvest." ”
Yu Tongen smiled sharply in his voice: "You have worked hard during this time, so our family naturally has to prepare meat and vegetables for you." ”
"Thank you, Father-in-law. The palace gate guard stepped forward, picked up melons, fruits and vegetables at will, and poked cattle, sheep and pigs.
Feeling that he was getting closer and closer to the fat pig where he was hiding, Meng Qi suddenly lifted his spirits, his body tensed, and he was ready to make a move at any time.
At this time, Yu Tongen leaned over and laughed in a low voice: "Our family has delayed our work by listening to the play, and I am afraid of being scolded by Mr. Wang, so I also asked a few noble hands to let our family catch up with the hour." ”
He quietly stuffed a bag of silver to a few guards.
"Father-in-law, you have always been a fan of drama, I don't know which famous character you have taken a fancy to?"
Yu Tongen echoed and smiled: "Let's go back and talk about it." ”
The carriage restarted, passed through the deep doorway, and entered the palace.
Listening to the sound of the empty echo, Meng Qi had a quiet and ethereal feeling, and sighed in his heart, even if the defense arrangement is done well, there are people who have people's hearts, and people's hearts are always full of loopholes.
The carriage turned many corners, and finally arrived at the warehouse of the imperial dining room, and Yu Tongen said in a loud voice: "It's getting dark, you can go to dinner, and find some rough people to come and move the goods." ”
The rough envoy is the lowest level of the eunuch system in this world, and can only do physical work.
"Thank you, Husband Yu!" The little eunuchs under him were elated one by one, feeling that Father-in-law Yu was too kind to himself and others!
When they were gone, Yu Tongen coughed lightly and gave a secret signal - his personal eunuch had prepared dinner for him.
One by one, the silk threads cracked, and Meng Qi and the others got out and hid in the depths of the warehouse.
Meng Qi smelled the smell of blood on his own, and then looked at the Demon Queen and Ruan Yushu who were still in the dust in the white dress and white shirt, and couldn't help but sneer, could it be that they had been using their true qi to resist the invasion of the environment just now, what a waste......
After the rough envoys unloaded the goods, Yu Tongen sent them away, took Meng Qi and the others out of the warehouse, and hid them in the imperial dining room. Pastries that keep the temperature at bay, and a few people who watch the fire, and no one else, are very suitable for hiding.
Several people hid on the beam, and the scent of pastry penetrated into their nostrils.
Ruan Yushu looked intently at the steamer and the pastries that didn't need to be kept warm, and muttered to himself:
"Pea yellow, lotus seed cake, water chestnut cake, sesame roll, bean paste roll. Jade bean cake, osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cake ......"
Meng Qi could vaguely hear her grunting saliva, so he forced a smile and said, "Eat, I'll invite you." ”
"Really?" Ruan Yushu turned his head to look at him sharply.
"Just after dinner, no one will want to eat a snack for a while, and by the time anyone notices, we have already confirmed the situation and left the palace. Meng Qi said with a smile.
Even if someone finds out, they will first suspect that the eunuch or the rough envoy is stealing food. When I find out, the time has long passed.
Ruan Yushu nodded in agreement with Meng Qi's opinion, and quietly slid down the pillar, taking advantage of the opportunity of several rough envoys to watch the fire. With his hand, he grabbed a lot of pastries that didn't need to be kept warm - all of them were a pile of only one piece, so that no one could see the traces.
Then she crouched down again and turned to the back of the steamer. Then the steamer blocked the view, slowly lifted it up a gap, and grabbed a few pieces of pastry.
The whole process. She did it carefully and in one go, as if she had rehearsed it many times in her heart.
Back on the beam, Ruan Yushu ate in small bites but very quickly, suddenly, she paused, pursed her lips hesitantly, and handed a piece to Meng Qi, her eyes always looking ahead, as if she would regret it when she saw it: "Here you go." ”
Meng Qi smiled secretly in his stomach, and honestly and unceremoniously took it and stuffed it into his mouth, it tasted really good.
Luo Shengyi and the Demon Queen both closed their eyes and waited for the night to deepen.
After more than half an hour, Yu Tongen gave a secret signal outside, and the four of them left the imperial dining room and found him in the corner of the garden.
After handing Meng Qi and the others three sets of guard uniforms and flying claw ropes, he turned around and left directly, and no one spoke during the whole process.
Meng Qi and the three of them each found a hiding place and changed into guard clothes.
"Half an hour later, this seat will start, can you reach the Taiji Palace?" asked the demon queen as usual.
There are many masters in the Taiji Hall to take care of it, and if there is no movement in the Qinzheng Palace, it will be more difficult for the demon queen to ask herself if she wants to sneak in, so the timing must be right.
Meng Qi nodded and said, "No problem." ”
There are patrol routes and defense arrangements, and the biggest problem is the guards of the Taiji Palace, which should be able to reach the vicinity of the emperor's dormitory in half an hour.
The demon queen didn't say much, her steps didn't go fast or slow, her back swaying, it seemed that she was blending into the darkness little by little, "really" blending into the darkness, and soon disappeared.
Meng Qi and the three of them glanced at each other, but did not communicate, and set off according to the direction and route discussed before, and the timing along the way was appropriate, and they could always cross the corridor and the doorway between the two groups of guards, when the eyes of the roof guards shifted.
In a short time, the three of them were only one hall away from the Taiji Palace, but the guards here became more and more dense, several teams of guards patrolled back and forth, and there was no time and place for the blank sight, and the pavilion where they were hiding was quite far away from the palace, and they could not forcibly rely on the illusion Dafa to flash over.
Meng Qi had already prepared, took a deep breath, released his spirit, wrapped himself, Ruan Yushu and Luo Shengyi, climbed to the top of the pavilion like a gecko, flew out like a strange bird, and flew over the head of the first team of guards.
Due to the effect of the Transfiguration Dafa, the voice was faint and did not attract the attention of the guards.
In mid-air, Meng Qi was about to fall, and he threw his flying claws violently, grabbing the cornices of the nearby palace.
Smack, when the claws catch the cornice, a slight sound is made.
At that moment, one of the guards slipped his foot, making a louder noise.
Meng Qi pulled hard, and the whole person took off again and fell into the shadow of the roof, and Ruan Yushu and Luo Shengyi also arrived almost at the same time.
Thanks to the Transfiguration Dafa...... Meng Qi was glad that the actual combat effect of this technique was very poor now, but it was his god-level auxiliary.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for the guards to ask about the slippery person, Meng Qi and the three of them jumped over the roof, jumped directly onto the wall, and hid on the wall near the Taiji Hall.
There is a guard every dozen paces outside the Taiji Hall, and there are several people on the roof, all of whom are masters with bulging temples. (To be continued......)
