Baili Brothers 3: Scarlet Capital Chapter 6: The Pen of Nothingness

"Hey!" Baili Xuance said dissatisfiedly: "This is not fair, why do you call my brother by name, and if you call me, you have to call my brother?" Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly: "Didn't you answer yourself? Since you are a younger brother, you should call your younger brother." ”

Baili Xuance was still not convinced, and kept struggling to refute. Baili kept the promise, but secretly thought about it, and then said: "Excuse me······ Are you called Shangguan Wan'er?" Shangguan Wan'er nodded and said, "It seems that His Highness still mentioned me to you." When Baili Xuance heard this, he nodded and said, "It turns out that you are the one who Li Xin gave the promise?" Very good, very good, then I won't care about you." We are all people who value commitments, so let's call you sister. ”

Baili Shou said to him: "Wan'er, where are we going to investigate the case when we come here today?" Shangguan Wan'er stretched out her hand to signal them to approach, and then unfolded the notebook she had shown Di Renjie before on the wooden table outside the house, and said: "This is the complaint I wrote with my childhood memory, but there is a very strange thing drawn on this complaint. As far as I can remember, this is the place where my grandfather told me that he left a real mystery. We're going here today. ”

"······ here" Baili Shouyue looked at the complaint drawn by Shangguan Wan'er, pointed to the square shape and said: "Chang'an City is lined with imitation cities, and I estimate that this should be Chang'an City." But ······ This drawing seems to refer to the north of Chang'an. What kind of place is that?"

"Daming Palace. Shangguan Wan'er said in a deep voice: "It is the office of the empress, located in Longshouyuan on the north side of Chang'an. "Where is the empress's office?" Baili Shouyu and Baili Xuance were both taken aback, and Baili Xuance said: "Let's go to the empress's office to investigate the case she doesn't allow, the empress······ Empress, does she agree?"

"Of course not. Shangguan Wan'er smiled bitterly and said: "Although my token to enter and leave the government and the opposition at will was given by her, the purpose is to find out the people's feelings for her. If the empress knows that I will use the right she gave me to investigate this old case, then it will be time for me to die. ”

"Wouldn't it?" Baili Xuance was stunned and said, "If it's so dangerous, are we completely sure that we can enter the Daming Palace safely?"

Shangguan Wan'er stretched out three fingers and said, "Our chances are less than thirty percent, and a place as important as Daming Palace is naturally heavily guarded. Not only guards, but also machine scans. Do you know that the precision of this Daming Palace's guard machine is estimated to be inferior to that of the Ark in the entire Tang Dynasty. It is one of the few institutions left by Master Mozi thousands of years ago. ”

"This ······" Baili Shouyue pondered for a while, and said: "In other words, we are very likely to be discovered by guards or agencies, if we are found and caught in front of the empress, will we still have a way to live?"

"Do you still want to see the empress?" Shangguan Wan'er smiled bitterly, patted Baili Shoujo's shoulder and said, "Trespassing on the emperor's palace, unless there is an order from the emperor, you will be killed on the spot by guards and organs." Not to mention leaving a life to see the empress, I'm afraid the empress won't even be able to see our corpse. ”

"That'······ Then how tightly guarded are these guards and organs?" said Baili Xuance with a sad face.

"Well······ this" Shangguan Wan'er calculated and said: "If you are a guard, every day at the time of the ugly, the hour, the noon, and the unitary time, each of these four times has a shift change of guards on duty, this is our opportunity to sneak in from the periphery." As long as the timing is accurate, the requirements for entering are not high, as long as it is fast and does not leave a trace and there is no movement, it can be successful. ”

"Then will you face the mechanism?" Baili Shouyue seemed to be very simple when she said such a difficult matter, so the mechanism inside must be much more difficult than passing through the outer guards, and he was a little worried.

"Not bad. Shangguan Wan'er said: "Unlike the guards, the agency will be on duty, and the agency will always patrol all the places inside. I've never entered the Daming Palace, and I don't know if there are any places in it that are not covered by the authorities. So we can only move forward in the Daming Palace under the care of the authorities. ”

"Under the care of the agency?" Baili Shouyue and Baili Xuance's faces suddenly became extremely ugly, and Baili Shouyu said: "Won't the agency report it······ Or is it attacking us?" "Normally, of course. Shangguan Wan'er said unhurriedly: "But if we can enter the state of nothingness, those organs will not find us?"

"What is it?" Baili Xuance pouted his face and said with a look of disbelief: "What is the state of nothingness? We don't have such ability." ”

"It's enough for me to have. Shangguan Wan'er crossed her waist very confidently and said: "This is a move invented by my grandfather back then, and I can proudly say that in the entire King Continent, the only people who can do this trick are people from our Shangguan family." ”

"So powerful?" Baili Shouyue and Baili Xuance glanced at each other, although they had already guessed that the young girl in front of them had extraordinary skills, they didn't expect that she actually had such an ability to surpass the entire continent.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at the suspicious looks of the two, and distanced herself from them step by step, suddenly pulled out the paintbrush on her waist and flicked it, drawing a brush and ink between her in the distance and at the same time, and at the same time walking opposite each other. After a slow movement, the two brushstrokes slowly intertwine together, showing faint signs of bursting.

"Hey!" Baili Shouyue and Baili Xuance were puzzled, but Shangguan Wan'er suddenly launched and sprinted towards the long strip of pen and ink she had drawn. The brush and ink seemed to be plain and weak, but after intertwining with Shangguan Wan'er, it shone with a few rays of light. Shangguan Wan'er sprinted several times in a row in the pen and ink, and suddenly disappeared into the pen and ink.

"Huh?" Baili Shouyue and Baili Xuance exclaimed at the same time, and hurriedly ran towards the pen and ink, and the two of them respectively took out the blind gun and the flying sickle and swept the pen and ink that gradually dissipated in the air, but there was no Shangguan Wan'er's figure long ago.

"Wan'er, Wan'er, where have you been?" Baili Shouyue looked around, but only saw Shangguan Wan'er standing more than a dozen steps behind him, looking at him with a smile. He was surprised and said, "You······ How the hell did you do that?"

"I said, this is a move that my grandfather invented. As soon as Shangguan Wan'er mentioned Shangguan Taifu, she felt extremely sorry and said, "It's just a pity that he couldn't teach this trick to Prince Qianzi and other young talents of the year." I was the only one who learned some of the fur when I was younger. ”

"So here's the problem. Baili Xuance also walked over slowly, and said, "If we are going to Daming Palace today, can my brother and I learn such a difficult move?

Shangguan Wan'er bit the corner of her mouth, obviously hesitating, and said, "I don't want to lie to you, but this is the case, I haven't entered the Daming Palace, so I don't know if this trick 'Zhangcao Heng Scale' can avoid the scans of the organ." ”

When Baili Shouyue and Baili Xuance heard this, their faces changed with "brush", and they said in unison: "Isn't there still a high probability that they will die there?"

"yes. Shangguan Wan'er's face remained the same, as if death was nothing special to her, and continued: "So I respect your decision, I feel that I am not capable enough, so I asked Master Di for help." After all, you are not considered to be Lord Di's subordinates, and it is easy to understand that you chose to give up for safety. After all, this operation is indeed very dangerous, whether to go or not, you can decide for yourself. Don't think about it. ”

Baili Shouyue looked at Baili Xuance, only to see that his face was sullen, and he gritted his teeth as if he was brewing some emotions. He saw his brother's thoughts at a glance, and without much hesitation, he patted his chest and said, "Wan'er, Li Xin has a promise to you, and our brother also has a promise to Li Xin." We are all guards of the Great Wall, and we are facing the invasion of demons and aliens every day, and we are not less accompanied by death, how can we be afraid of this kind of adventure?" He promised to help you, and now that he's injured, there's us to replace him. Sister Wan'er, don't say anything, just teach us what 'Zhangcao Heng Scale' is. ”

"Commitment······ Shangguan Wan'er listened to what they said arrogantly, and couldn't help muttering: "Is it a promise to His Highness······?" Your Highness, after so many years, there are finally people besides me who are willing to treat you as a relative. They came for me, but they must not cause any accidents for me. With that, she approached them and exclaimed, "Well! Look at it!" he pulled out his brush and drew it in the air again, sprinting slowly as he sprinted.

Baili Shouyue and Baili Xuance stared at it with wide eyes, and Shangguan Wan'er also took the trouble to demonstrate it for them five times, and finally Baili Shouyue was the first to look out of the door and said, "Ah······ We have to sprint five times in a row before we enter the void. ”

"Not bad······" Shangguan Wan'er took a low breath, touched the beads of sweat between her hair, and said, "In the time of five consecutive sprints, it is not in a state of nothingness, you can also see it. Therefore, once you enter the state of nothingness, you cannot reappear, otherwise you will be discovered by the authorities. When I am in a state of nothingness, I will continue to throw my pen and ink in the direction of our travel, and we must not take it lightly while we are nothing, and we must continue to sprint forward in a void posture until we have passed all the mechanisms. ”

"Do you want to keep sprinting?" Baili Xuance pinched his neck and said, "Then if it breaks off halfway, won't it be a dead death?" Shangguan Wan'er nodded and said: "So no matter what happens, you must not stop, and you must ensure that your body is in my ink." The brothers Baili Shouyue and Baili Xuance looked at each other, and both saw the look of embarrassment in their eyes, but they both confirmed each other's firm expressions, and nodded at the same time.

"So······ Action!" Shangguan Wan'er chanted in a low voice, shaking the brush in her hand and shaking the tip of her pen as if it were spinning in a circle. Baili Shoujo and Baili Xuance only felt a few wisps of green smoke coming out of the air in front of them, and then emitted into several wisps of green silk and spreading continuously.
