Chapter Seventy-Seven

On the other side, Xun Di secretly went to the imperial capital, preparing to enter the palace to obtain the jade seal and military talismans of the country.

After a few days of galloping, he finally reached his destination.

In the middle of the night, I saw a black figure flashing from everywhere and disappearing again.

Because Xiao Shangyi personally led the troops to Jiangnan, the palace was a little more vigilant than before.

Xun Di easily climbed over the palace walls and shuttled through the various palaces.

The Xuxuan Hall is located in the remote northwest corner of the Imperial Palace, as an almost abandoned palace, almost no one usually visits, so no one could have imagined that the jade seal would be hidden here.

Quietly opened a small crack in the door, and Xun Di quickly slipped in.

I saw that the entire hall was extremely empty, and the turbid air made people breathe a little unpleasantly.

He tore off the spider silk that he had unintentionally touched on his body, and then lit the fire fold in his hand to look around.

Chen Jingkai said that the jade seal and the talisman were placed on the top of the main hall, and in order for it to appear, it was necessary to find the mechanism to open it.

Xun Di glanced at the gilded treasure top on his head, and his eyebrows jumped.

Hide it on it, it's weird to find it.

He walked up to the huge pillar and was about to turn the oil lamp that hung on the pillar.

There are two pillars in the hall, and the mechanism can be opened by turning the direction of the oil lamp.

But before he could stretch out his hand, suddenly, a flying knife rushed straight at him.

Xun Di quickly dodged sideways, and when he glanced back, the throwing knife was solidly pierced into the pillar, making a sonorous sound.

"Come out." His voice was faint.

As soon as the words fell, a black figure flashed out of nowhere.

Xun Di raised the fire fold in his hand, and the faint light allowed him to see the person on the other side a little.

He was an old man, with half-white hair, cold and hard cheeks, and very sharp eyes.

"Young man, the things here are not for you to move, I hope you get acquainted with each other and leave early." The old man's tone was stern.

Then, he continued: "Give you ten breaths of time to think about it, if you don't leave, the old man will never show mercy!" ”

Hearing this, Xun Di smiled faintly and said, "I am bound to get the things here." ”

The old man sneered: "With you? ”

After speaking, I saw his body move, and he and Xun Di fought with each other.

Neither of them has any weapons, and you go back and forth with your bare hands,

I saw Xun Di's light and strong body make a volley punch, and the opponent resisted it strongly, and then he used an eye-fast move.

And the old man fished for the moon in the water, not only dodging the opponent's attack, but also taking advantage of the situation to give a palm.

After dozens of rounds, I didn't expect this young man's martial arts to be so good, and his moves were fierce and swift.

In the face of the old man's fast and slow attacks, Xun Di advanced and retreated quickly, and his movements did not drag the mud and water at all.

He couldn't help but admire it a little in his heart, he didn't expect Chen Jingkai to accept such a master, if he was placed on the rivers and lakes, he would definitely be able to make a good name.

At the same time as Xun Di was appreciating, he saw the old man's claws in his hand grasping and splitting, which caught Xun Di off guard.

He hurriedly stepped back and said with a smile: "He Lao is very good at kung fu, and he has been taught in the next!" ”

Hearing this, the old man frowned and said, "How do you know the old man?" ”

Xun Di resisted the last move: "I learned from Chen Jingkai's mouth." ”

Before He Lao could speak, he saw Xun Di take out a piece of Shuanglong jade pendant from his arms, and put it in front of He Lao's eyes.

Seeing this jade pendant, He Lao hurriedly stopped and knelt down: "It's the emperor!" ”

He asked anxiously, "What's wrong with the emperor?" Where is he now!? ”

Xun Di rekindled the fire fold: "He is in Dongyan Building, everything is fine." ”

"I'm here this time, first, for the jade seal and the talisman, and second, for you."

He Lao was puzzled: "Me? ”

Xun Di nodded: "Chen Jingkai will confront Xiao Shangyi head-on, and he hopes that you can come to his side and protect him as a guard." ”

Hearing this, He Lao was not surprised, but was a little happy: "In this way, everything is fine with the emperor, and the old man is relieved." ”

But after thinking about it, he felt that things were not so simple.

"Are you from Dongyan Building?"

Xun Di nodded: "Exactly."

He Lao took two steps back, and his tone became cold: "Old man, remember that your Dongyan Building has never interfered in the affairs of the royal family. ”

Xun Di sneered: "This time is different from the past, Dongyanlou and the Xiao family of the previous dynasty have enmity, not to mention that Chen Jingkai is my nominal brother, and I, Dongyanlou, want to help." ”

Hearing this, He Lao felt as if he had heard a shocking secret.

Brother in name!? Doesn't that mean ......?

Looking at He Lao's face, Xun Di knew what the other party was thinking.

He handed He Lao a letter: "Chen Jingkai gave it to you." ”

He Lao took it in surprise, and opened his hands in a little panic.

Looking at the handwriting, it was the emperor's right, and some of the things mentioned in it were only known to him and the emperor.

After reading the letter, He Lao did not hesitate to kneel down and salute Xun Di.

"See the Thirteen Princes!"

Xun Di was a little disliked, and a little uncomfortable.

He pouted: "Don't call me like that, I don't like it, master!" ”

With that, he turned around and twisted the oil lamp on the wall.

I only heard a "click" sound, and it should have been twisted correctly.

Xun Di turned his head and looked at the oil lamp on the pillar opposite.

Without waiting for him to pass, He Lao ran to the place in small steps.

I saw that he moved neatly, and soon, the oil lamp was twisted into place.

"Thirteen princes, it's good for the old man to do these rough jobs."

On the side, Xun Di: "......"

Soon, the sound of a large mechanism opening sounded, and the treasure top on the heads of the two began to rotate and transform.

I saw a long chain tied to a gilt gold box, slowly drooping down.

It turned out that the box and the treasure top were self-contained, and such a mechanism was so ingenious, Xun Di was a little amazed.

He walked over and opened the box, and saw the jade seal and the talisman placed inside.

Okay, that's it.

Xun Di untied the box and held it in his hand.

He looked at He Lao: "Do you want to go?" This is a place......"

Hearing this, He Lao hurriedly followed someone's footsteps: "Go!" Let's go! ”

……

Xun Di took people to the foothold, Dream Liangju.

I haven't been here for two or three months, but I'm a little unaccustomed to it.

The shopkeeper Ding Shou'an hurriedly went on to entertain Xun Di, still looking trembling.

Ding Shouan saw that Xun Di had brought someone here, so he didn't ask much, but consciously poured a cup of hot tea for others.

It's snowing in the imperial capital these days, and it's good to drink a cup of hot tea.

Xun Di instructed Ding Shou'an: "Prepare a guest room for He Lao, so that he can be entertained." ”

Hearing this, Ding Shouan replied respectfully.

Immediately, he looked a little lonely, as if he had thought of something.

In the past, the chief master always told him to do this and that, but now that he is looking for the prince, he is a little uncomfortable.

But he didn't dare to think about it much, now that Xun Di Gongzi is temporarily managing the affairs of Dongyan upstairs, it is already tedious and busy, if he makes Xun Di Gongzi the chief master miserable, he will become a sinner.

took He Lao down to rest, and Ding Shouan presented the account books of the past two or three months one by one for Xun Di to check.

Xun Di took it with a headache, and he didn't know that he had never been in contact with it before, and it was so troublesome to do business.

He still has so no conscience, and he threw it all to the little witch.

At the thought of the dead junior sister, Xun Di immediately became sad.
