Chapter 45: Exploration

The Royal Palace, outside the Xihua Gate.

Yu Ke waited for most of the day, and finally waited for the target person, the eunuch Pang.

At this time, in Yu Ke's eyes, a piece of information emerged.

[Target Person: Eunuch Pang]

[Target Carrying Fortune: 0.91]

Yu Ke didn't immediately go to kidnap this Eunuch Pang, and when he saw him come out, he immediately turned around and walked towards the location of Eunuch Pang's mansion.

Twenty minutes later, Yu Ke rushed to Eunuch Pang's mansion one step ahead of schedule.

After a few more minutes, the door of the mansion was opened, and Eunuch Pang walked in, followed by two young eunuchs.

Yu Ke knocked the three unconscious from behind and tied them up with ropes.

The two young eunuchs, Yu Ke's hands are relatively heavy, and it will take at least half a day to wake up.

As for Eunuch Pang, Yu Ke started very lightly, and as soon as he tied him up, he woke up leisurely.

Eunuch Pang just wanted to open his mouth to scold angrily, but saw Yu Ke take out a knife and stab him lightly in the waist.

Although the key points are avoided, the pain is not small at all.

Eunuch Pang's angry scolding that was about to exit directly turned into a scream.

This eunuch Pang is not loyal, and his bones are not very hard.

Yu Ke didn't use much means, and Eunuch Pang poured beans to sell the situation in the palace completely.

In order to prevent Eunuch Pang from deceiving himself, Yu Ke asked a few more questions that had already been clarified, and got a consistent answer.

After obtaining the information he wanted about the inside of the palace, Yu Ke did not kill Eunuch Pang in order to avoid startling the snake, but gave him the 'poison' he had prepared to blackmail him into keeping his mouth shut.

Yu Ke deceived Eunuch Pang and said, "Do you feel a slight fever in your stomach now, a dry mouth and tongue, and a dizzy mind?" ”

Eunuch Pang nodded in horror.

Yu Ke continued: "The thing I just gave you to eat is called the Ten Day Worm Pill. ”

"This ten-day insect pill is made from a secret recipe that I got by chance."

"Ten days of onset, no one can find out before the poison, once the poison is not available at the time of the antidote, your stomach will continue to grow poisonous insects, gnawing your internal organs, so that you will die after seven days due to being gnawed by poisonous insects."

Eunuch Pang was so frightened that he was incontinent when he heard this, and he repeatedly asked for forgiveness.

Yu Ke said: "It's not impossible for you to want an antidote, as long as you keep your mouth shut and forget what happened today, I will give you the antidote in seven days to keep you safe and sound." ”

"Of course, you can try to find the imperial doctor to detoxify, but I can guarantee that they won't see that you have been poisoned."

"And, once it is known that you have revealed the situation in the palace, do you say, will you lose your head first, or will I lose your head first?"

Eunuch Pang was completely defeated at this time, and he was directly frightened and fainted.

Yu Ke woke him up again, and said lightly: "I'm leaving, these two people will wake up in about an hour, you can do it yourself." ”

Walking out of Eunuch Pang's mansion, Yu Ke threw a porcelain vase into the ditch on the side of the road.

This porcelain vase contains the 'poison' he just gave to Eunuch Pang.

Of course, this poison is fake, but it is made by Yu Ke with chili powder, pepper and other medicinal materials, not only is it not poisonous, but it also strengthens the spleen, invigorates qi, appetizes, and dehumidifies.

Yu Ke does not know how to make poison, although as the saying goes, medicine is three parts poison, and he also knows which medicinal materials are toxic.

But making a controllable chronic poison is not that simple, and Yu Ke has no experience in making poisons.

During this time, Yu Ke secretly observed the entrances and exits of the palace in all directions, day and night, for four or five days.

Using the ability to check the identity of the characters, coupled with many inquiries and searches, the strength of the guards in the palace was preliminarily estimated.

The guards in the palace rotate about every six hours.

In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court needed to weaken the power of the Eight Banners, but not too much.

So a special upward channel was established to win hearts and minds.

That is, the guard system.

The palace guards are divided into three positions: the imperial guard, the inner guard, and the Qianqingmen guard, which are selected by the emperor himself.

These people are basically the children of the princes and the clans.

These palace guard positions are from high to low, and they are divided into first-class guards, second-class guards, third-class guards, and Lanling guards.

The first-class guards are the third grade, also called the first-class guards, about sixty people.

The second-class guards are four ranks, one hundred and fifty people.

The third-class guards are five ranks, two hundred and seventy people.

And the lowest-grade Blue Feather guards also have six grades, and there are only ninety people.

The minister who governs and directs these guards is called the minister of the guard.

The rank of the senior officer of the first rank is higher than that of the ordinary local governor, and there are six people.

In recent years, the Qing court's military equipment has been rotten to the roots.

Yu Ke observed these days, but he didn't find any masters among these guards.

Ordinary Blue Feather guards are just ordinary people.

The third-class guards who have advanced to the next level are also mediocre in temperament and blood, and they look at some martial arts skills, but they have not practiced this level, and they are not much stronger than ordinary people.

The second-class guards are a little stronger than the third-class guards.

As for the first-class guards, the dozen or so people Yu Ke saw were all in the Bone Forging Realm.

Yu Ke is now a Sect Master of Refining the Marrow, and the martial artists of the Bone Forging Realm can't even withstand his punch.

The strength of the palace guards was so mediocre that Yu Ke's mind flashed the urge to directly enter the palace.

Moreover, these palace guards should usually live in the outer palace of the palace.

But the rules in the palace are strict, and as soon as these guards are free, they run out, either to the gambling house, or to the Qinglou, or to the wine shop to drink.

Basically, I didn't see a few people who practiced martial arts hard.

Of course, there is no such thing as a master among the palace guards.

For example, the six ministers of the guard, all of them are masters of raising dirt, and two of them are Han Chinese, one is named Zhang Shujin and the other is Li Ruidong.

Yu Ke didn't know much about these two people, but he had vaguely seen their names on a marketing account in his previous life.

Both of them were close attendants of Cixi.

It's a pity that although these two people are a little famous, they don't carry heavenly luck on their bodies.

In addition, to Yu Ke's surprise, the firearms equipped by the palace guards were actually quite good.

Each of them carries a sword at his waist and a polished rifle on his back.

Yu Ke took an opportunity to take a closer look and recognized that the rifle was actually a Mauser rifle made in Germany.

Although this rifle is not advanced enough and has average power, it can also cause a lot of damage if it hits itself.

After all, although he has great strength, he is still a mortal in the flesh.

In the past few days that Yu Ke has been exploring in front of the palace, he has also seen a lot of plot characters.

Such as Gu Hongming, Peng Yulin, and Liang Qichao, who were among the famous ministers of the late Qing Dynasty, Yu Ke saw a lot.

But Yu Ke would not kill these people for the sake of heavenly luck.

In addition to these people, Yu Ke also saw that Li Hongzhang Li Zhongtang, who had 28.47 heavenly luck on his body.

The great eunuch Li Lianying, who I met by chance, also had a fortune of 12.36 on her body.

Both of these are on Yu Ke's must-kill list.

In the era of the end of the Qing Dynasty, the person Yu Ke wanted to kill the most, Cixi ranked first.

Li Hongzhang is at least the top three, if not second.
