Chapter 22: Exploring the Palace at Night
Seeing this, Bing Ning couldn't help but ask directly: "I know, every time you go to the battlefield, you carry a small transparent gourd, but after you come back, it turns white, what is it inside?"
The soldier's body shook visibly when he heard this, and then he said anxiously: "I really don't know this, it's something that the general gave us before he set out for the battle, one for each person." As long as you kill more people, the whiter the little gourd will become, I really don't know what's inside, please spare me, I'm just an ordinary soldier, and I'm just acting on orders. ”
Bing Ning didn't ask any more when she heard this, and she didn't expect to ask anything from these soldiers.
"What about your little gourd?"
"It's been handed over to the general. ”
"Then let me ask you again, where does your general live?"
"The general is in the largest barracks. ”
After hearing this, Bing Ning directly knocked him unconscious with a palm. Then he turned to Tianming and said, "It seems that we still have to arrest that general." ”
The two sneaked near the barracks again. Tianming asked in a low voice, "Do you want to repeat the old trick?"
"No, there are soldiers guarding the barracks, and they will definitely be discovered. ”
Tianming couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
"What then?"
"Wait, I don't believe he can never come out. ”
The two waited quietly for a few hours, and finally waited for the right time, and when the general went out to get up at night, Bing Ning took him away in the same way.
"Who are you? I'm Long Haoming of the Demon Heaven Kingdom, you'd better let me go, otherwise you'll be wanted with all your might......"
As soon as the general woke up, he directly questioned the two of them.
Seeing this, Tianming could only wave helplessly and break the big tree beside him.
"We just arrested you to ask a few questions, not to listen to you say such innocuous nonsense, as long as you answer our questions well, we won't hurt you. ”
The general was also a person who had seen the world, and he knew that the two people in front of him were cultivators, which he couldn't compete with, and now he could only do what they said.
Tianming saw that he was honest and asked directly: "Every time you go to the battlefield, you will give the soldier a small transparent gourd, but when you come back, it will turn white, what is inside?"
"I don't know, it was the king's order, every soldier who went to battle had to wear that little gourd, as long as the more people were killed, the little gourd would turn whiter. ”
Seeing that what he said was exactly the same as what the soldier said before, Tianming could only helplessly look at Bing Ning behind him.
Bing Ning thought for a while and asked, "In that case, you go and take those small gourds you put away, and show me one." Of course, you'd better not play any tricks, or I won't be able to guarantee your safety. ”
The two took him to the vicinity of the barracks, and he went directly back to the camp and quickly found the two with a small gourd.
He really didn't dare to play any tricks, he knew that once he went against the other party's wishes, the other party would definitely kill him.
Seeing that the little gourd had arrived, Bing Ning directly knocked it out with a palm, and then took out a pill from his arms and stuffed it directly into the general's mouth. Then the two of them walked off into the distance.
"What did you give him?"
Away from the barracks, Tianming couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's a medicine that can make people lose their memories, but it's just the memory of the day, and it's ineffective for cultivators, but it's very effective for ordinary people. ”
"Do you know if he was telling the truth?"
"Yes, of course I do. I have already oppressed him with Zhenyuan during the interrogation, and if he lies, I can feel it, it is a very effective means to deal with some people whose cultivation is lower than my own. ”
Tianming couldn't help but show a sudden look when he heard it.
"You're so well prepared. ”
The two sent the soldier to the barracks, fed the pills, and returned to the inn.
The two of them studied the small gourd on the table for a long time, but they had no clue, and finally they could only open it.
Tianming gently pulled the plug of the small gourd, but as soon as he opened it, he saw a white mist overflowing outward, and finally dissipated between heaven and earth. Seeing this, Bing Ning hurriedly picked up Zhenyuan and wanted to wrap the white mist, but she was surprised to find that Zhenyuan couldn't wrap it at all. Tianming had no choice but to stuff it tightly again.
"Looks like we'll have to wait until later. ”
Tianming said helplessly.
"In that case, we still have to go to the king, and we can ask him everything. ”
Three days later, the two of them came to Demon Heaven City, the capital of the Demon Heaven Kingdom.
I found an inn at random, and the two began to discuss the next steps. Demon Heaven City is not comparable to Tongtian City, just casually walking around the street, Tianming was surprised to find that there are many monks, and there may even be some more advanced cultivators, which Tianming can't find at all. Moreover, he also inquired that there were five major cultivation families in the Demon Heaven City, and it was difficult to sneak into the palace and ask the king in such an environment.
Tianming frowned and asked, "What now?" I didn't expect there to be so many monks here. ”
"Actually, don't worry too much, although there are many monks, they are not here to protect the king, we just need to pay attention to the monks who are protecting the king. ”
Bing Ning thought for a moment before continuing, "We just need to wait until the king's personal monk is not there before we do it. So we need to sneak into the king's chambers in advance. ”
Night was quietly approaching, and most of the people were already asleep. At this time, two people were dressed in black and sneaking in the darkness of the palace. These two people are Tianming and Bingning, through the previous question* to a palace maid, the two already know the location of the king's bedroom, and the king has not returned.
The two of them continued to sneak for a moment before they approached the king's bedchamber, but they could not enter it because of two guards at the door.
Seeing this, Bing Ning gently took out a small paper bag in his arms, and in the paper bag was a puddle of white powder. Bing Ning Yun Zhen Yuan blew the white powder directly in the direction of the two guards.
There was no reaction at first, but after a while, the two guards ran away with their stomachs covered, and Tianming couldn't help but give Bing Ning a thumbs up when he saw this.
The two of them entered the king's chamber gently, closed the door gently, and hid themselves, now all they had to do was wait for the king's return.
About two hours later, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, and the two knew that the king must have returned.
The door opened, and it was not the king who entered, but two young men dressed in black. The two men walked out after a circle around the house. It was only then that the king carried a young and beautiful woman into the bedchamber, and then lay down on the bed, ready to rest.
