Chapter 33: Exploring the King's Mansion at Night

After the dust washing banquet dispersed and returned to the Tujun Palace, General Lu walked over quickly and presented a thing respectfully: "This is a list of visits in the past six months, which was sorted out overnight and registered in various prefectures. ”

Tujun took it and did not open it. He had long been accustomed to General Lu's calm and capable, and asked casually, "How?" ”

General Lu said solemnly: "Shaojun's Mansion, Mowang's Mansion, all of them. ”

Tujun frowned and nodded, and General Lu bowed his head and retreated silently. Coming and going like the wind, the posture is upright, and the pace is steady and orderly.

At the banquet, Lei Shao stared at his back and said thoughtfully, "Who is this person?" ”

Tujun introduced: "He is my chief of guard, and he has been by my side since he was a child. ”

Tujun's words are obviously telling everyone that this is my cronies, so you can rest assured. Lei Shao still didn't relax, his eyes were chasing him closely, and he muttered: "It's more dangerous to follow around, in case you are replaced by someone who transforms, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

Tujun saw it in his eyes, smiled and said nothing, Changxi poked his head over, and explained quietly: "The transformation needs to choose a person who lives in a simple place, or is familiar enough with the other party and sure to make it fake and real, otherwise it is easy to go through the gang when you show your head outside." General Lu has followed Tujun's side since he was a child, and Tujun and the palace guards are naturally very familiar with him. Every day in the palace, I don't look up and look down, if I am replaced by a transformation, how can the Tujun not recognize it? Lei Shao, you're a bit of a soldier. ”

After she reminded her, Lei Shaofang felt that his unintentional words might be a little offensive to Tujun. But Tujun smiled, as if he didn't notice, or didn't care. He turned his head and asked Sha Lao: "What do Sha Lao think?" ”

Sha Lao said: "Why don't you explore the palace first?" ”

Tujun nodded slowly, and the two coincided.

Mo Wang Xiuwei was one step away from the elders, and his status was noble, so it was inconvenient for Sha Lao to come forward, so he decided to let Changxi and Mu Li do it for him.

The two of them changed into night clothes, took advantage of the night to look east and west in front of the palace gate, and made sure that there was no one around, and they were about to enter, but they saw a purple and dazzling figure stumbling over, and said impassionedly: "Wait for me, I will go too." ”

Changxi pouted as soon as he swept his eyes. Lei Shao wanted to sneak into someone's mansion at night, but he didn't even change his clothes at night, even if the black lights around him were blind, his noble purple robe was still brilliant, like a torch dangling with his tail dangling, for fear that others would not see him!

Mu Li was expressionless, staring at him gloomily.

Lei Shao is here to help, and he has to find a high-sounding reason to send him back. This is not a difficult thing, Changxi faced Lei Shao with a serious face, and pretended to regret: "Lei Shao, you came just in time!" My dad is inconvenient to come forward, and we are in a hurry, and if something goes wrong in the middle, I need you to send a message to my dad to save his life. Don't go far, find a corner where no one is waiting for our news! ”

After she finished speaking in one breath, she stuffed a mussel bead into Lei Shao's hand, and immediately couldn't wait to pull up Mu Li and fly into the palace.

Standing in place for a long time, Lei Shaocai shouted in hindsight: "Wouldn't you just pass the message to him directly?" I also want Ben Shao to preach a message in the middle! ”

In the second half of the sentence, he silently swallowed it into his stomach: What about the young master of the water tribe, he is not a friend and unreliable guy!

At this point, he had no choice but to squat on the street corner.

The prince's mansion, the deep courtyard of the mansion, the lights are lit, and the servants walk around, all bowing their eyebrows and bowing their heads lightly, for fear of alarming the master and causing a catastrophe for no reason.

When the moon is in the sky, the moonlight is bright and clean, as if the scattered roof is covered with a layer of white veil as thin as cicada wings, the shadows are sufficient, and the dark fragrance floats. The lanterns hanging under the eaves are like tassels at the end of the skirt of the white gauze dress, swaying gently in the wind, exuding a warm and soft light.

The two black shadows were condescending, shuttling between the ups and downs, and they had seen this palace inside and out. It is the long stream and Muli who explore the palace at night. Changxi noticed that the people of Mowangfu were thriving, going in and out, moving and moving in and out, and everything was as usual. Only the inconspicuous courtyard in the southeast corner was unattended and silent.

She tilted her head to look sideways, and sure enough, Mu Li was staring there like a torch. The two of them had a spiritual heart, and immediately hid their spiritual power, jumped to the nearest roof, and secretly observed.

I saw a wind lamp burning in the room, and a person sitting in the middle of the wooden couch, with a plain face, a gray robe and gray beard, his hands on his knees, and he was meditating with his eyes closed. The carved windows of this house are closed, and the red door is wide open, as if waiting for someone. Since they didn't know the depth of each other, they had to wait with the cat on the eaves.

On a desert night, the moonlight was exceptionally bright, and the two of them could see everything without too many lights. While they were waiting for it to be seen, the long-awaited visitor finally appeared.

Desert King.

According to the original plan, tonight, Tujun convened all the ministers in the palace to discuss matters and delay time for them, but he didn't expect King Mo to return home so soon. He was no longer as idle as he was in the daytime, his eyebrows were a little hurried, and he strode into the house, although he deliberately lowered his voice, but with the ears of the two of them, he could listen to the corner of the wall.

I only heard the Mo Wang in the corner of the wall with some anxiety: "You sit steadily." The newcomers, all of whom are masters, what should I do? ”

The "newcomers" naturally refer to them, and Changxi would like to hear what this mysterious Taoist master has to say.

I saw that the Taoist chief slowly opened his eyes, and said lightly: "Your task remains the same, and the new ones will be handed over to me." ”

Hearing this, Changxi sighed in his heart. Just saying that he intends to carry the courage and confidence of several of them by himself, this person is by no means an unknown Taoist. When King Mo came to the door, this person knew it but did not get up to greet him. Not to mention these false courtesies, looking at the entire rivers and lakes, there are only a handful of people who can give orders to the Tu Desert King.

Such an important person, condescending to hide in the shadows, must be planning an ulterior and vital event. What could it be?

Changxi couldn't help but feel like he was on the edge of the abyss, and unconsciously looked at Mu Li. His expression was still calm, but there was a hint of caution in his eyes.

As soon as the mysterious Taoist spoke, King Mo seemed to feel a lot more relieved, and sat down to pour himself a cup of tea. At this time, the servant ran over with his head down, he didn't seem to dare to enter the house, stood at the door and said, "Lord Wang, there is a person who claims to be the young master of Tianlei City and has come to visit you. People have been invited to the main hall. ”

I think it was Lei Shao who found out that King Mo returned home early, worried that it would be unfavorable to them, so he openly came forward to visit, wanting to lure King Mo away. Changxi couldn't help but feel that although Lei Shao said that although the tiger head and tiger brain lacked a string, occasionally and sometimes, it was still reliable.

The other party came to visit in a grand manner, and King Mo couldn't help but socialize. The mysterious Taoist finally gave up, got up to see him off, and said to him when he arrived at the door, "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. ”

King Mo took the reassuring pill, walked leisurely as he walked, and went to deal with the uninvited guest.

The two of them took advantage of this movement, and landed lightly under a side window, just in time to see the mysterious Taoist closing the door with his backhand, returning to the couch where he was meditating just now, reaching out and pressing somewhere, the side wall suddenly opened, and the Taoist immediately raised his feet and walked in.

Time waits for no man. The two of them immediately went into the house and quietly observed behind the open wall. Just in case, Mu Li deliberately turned into a magic shield to isolate the voices and breath of the two.

I saw that inside the wall, there was a secret room with a very long depth, without candle flames, and it was lit by the night pearl. The mysterious Taoist has reached the end of the secret room, and is looking at something there. There are a number of boxes scattered around the secret room, which seem to have been temporarily stored here, and they are not going to be cleaned up.

Although the boxes were tightly covered, they still smelled a pungent smell. It's gunpowder!

The Tu people are located in the desert, and the royal palace is built underground. Use gunpowder there and do more with less. It's a poisonous ploy.

Without further ado. Changxi immediately turned into a clam bead, attached the contents, and sent it out with spiritual power. Although Bengzhu usually uses water as a medium to transmit messages, in case of emergency, she can also use her own spiritual power to send it.

After the mussel beads were sent out, they continued to stare at the Dao Chief. Out of nowhere, he pulled out a book and studied it on the spot. There was no way, so they had to continue to accompany them.

Unexpectedly, this time the other party's book didn't read for long, and they suddenly noticed that someone was walking this way, listening to their steps tiptoeing, not like rough handymen.

They were about to hide invisibly, but when they turned around, they saw a thunder boy sneaking up to them.

Changxi was taken aback and could only watch. After he got into the soundproof magic shield, Changxi dared to whisper to him: "Didn't you let you pass the message?" How did you run in! ”

Lei Shao did not hesitate to go deep into the tiger's den, but she was robbed of his white, pouted when he came, and said, "Don't worry, I believe that I will find a way to pass it on to you." ”

Changxi glanced at his cuffs, which were missing a corner, and immediately felt disgusted. This is his unique skill, but it's a pity that the purple robe.

Fugui Lei Shao didn't care about a piece of clothing, and said with a serious face: "I came in for another thing, King Mo went out again." When he came back just now, he obviously looked very anxious, and he went out again after a cup of tea. ”

King Mo went out at this time, I don't know what his intentions were, could it be related to his "mission"?

Mu Li had no clue for the time being, and planned to let go of this question first, but when he saw Lei Shao's probe and extremely excited look, he suddenly understood, and said in an unkind tone: "Why don't you use Mussel Zhu to send a message, and come in yourself?" ”

Lei Shao touched his nose and had to show an embarrassed but polite smile. He was about to say something to cover up the past, when suddenly he realized something. Normally, at this time, Changxi would definitely cover his face and question him, but at this time, she was unusually quiet and didn't say a word. Puzzled, he turned to look at her.

Mu Li also looked over with his gaze, and saw that Changxi was staring at the Taoist chief intently, his eyes were extremely cold.

Mu Li was so strange that he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" ”

At that moment, a trace of astonishment flashed across Changxi's face. She was entangled and asked tentatively, "Can you tell that the man has been transformed?" ”

Hearing this, Mu Li couldn't help but be stunned, and his eyes looked at the Taoist leader coldly for a long time, but he didn't find anything abnormal. He thought that Changxi had been worried since he knew that Elder Shi had loose poison in his body, so he asked this question. So he said softly and relievedly: "I don't think so." Don't worry, if it's really Songqing, I will naturally know. ”

Lei Shao blinked, confused, and didn't understand how Brother Lin "naturally recognized" Songqing.

Changxi was even more frightened as if he was facing a great enemy: "Why can't you see it?" Could it be that he has made great progress in cultivation? ”

Mu Li looked at her and said noncommittally: "Transformation is to modify oneself with spiritual power, and foundation and cultivation are indispensable. Songqing himself has no such strength. But if there is a master to help, I may not be able to see it. ”

Changxi couldn't help but groan: "I don't understand, what kind of master, what identity and purpose will help him sneak into the desert?" What kind of skill can I hide from you? ”

Mu Li stared into her eyes and asked, "I don't understand, since you are a master, why can you recognize it?" ”
