After disguising himself as the appearance of the Qianlong Guard, Cao Chuan and the others left the Imperial Garden and followed the memory of the Qianlong Guard to a palace called the Qianlong Palace.

The Qianlong Hall is located on the west side of the palace and is a large hall that is only a little smaller than the Xuantian Palace.

Since Meng Feiran mastered the Qianlong Guard, the Qianlong Palace began to be built, and it was specially built for the Qianlong Guard to collect intelligence, issue tasks and contact with Meng Feiran and the emperor, which can be said to be the most closely guarded and guarded place except for the emperor's bedroom.

And after Meng Feiran's death, because Lu Mengli could not fully control the Hidden Dragon Guard, when some people in the Hidden Dragon Guard had a rebellious heart, the already very tall and magnificent Hidden Dragon Hall actually began to expand again.

At first, Lu Mengli was still thinking about asking who was expanding the Hidden Dragon Hall without notifying her.

But when she knew that this was the meaning of the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard, Lu Mengli immediately knew that this was a plan implemented by the other party in order to test herself, in order to make her angry because of the expansion of the Hidden Dragon Palace.

If she was really angry at the unexplained expansion of the Hidden Dragon Palace, and took the initiative to come to the door, then the Hidden Dragon Guard would have a chance to lock her up in the Hidden Dragon Palace, and then kill her disguised as a rebel who broke into the palace.

Since the Qianlong Palace has always been only the Qianlong Guard can enter and exit, and the status of the Qianlong Guard in the court is second only to her as the emperor, so once this kind of thing happens, the Qianlong Guard can move out a fake Lu Mengli as a puppet, and then when the time is ripe, the puppet can be killed and the person who supports him to sit on the throne.

You must know that this is the first temptation of the Hidden Dragon Guard.

And the time of the first temptation happened to be the day after Meng Feiran's death.

Lu Mengli really didn't dare to imagine what would happen next if she died on that day.

So she chose to forbear, and never told these things to outsiders.

It wasn't until Cao Chuan and the others came to the palace that she finally told the three of them about these things that she had hidden for a hundred years.

Therefore.

When Cao Chuan, Wen Jinghao, and Yu Qinglan learned through the soul searching technique that they were going back to the Hidden Dragon Hall within the specified time, they couldn't help but think of the past that Lu Mengli had mentioned.

reminds me of Yu Qinglan's discovery after searching for the soul of the Hidden Dragon Guard before.

Cao Chuan felt a little strange, so he said to Wen Jinghao and Yu Qinglan in the form of sound transmission: "But judging from the things that Lu Mengli told us, Meng Feiran was just an ordinary person who had no way to cultivate since he was born in this world and was brought back to the palace, and even until he died, he was just an ordinary person who had no way to cultivate, and the reason why he was able to have the realm of the Divine Hidden Realm was also because he took an elixir given by the previous emperor, which Lu Mengli saw with his own eyes. ”

"Although Lu Mengli was still young at the time, I believe that that kind of thing will be impressive no matter who it happens in front of."

"Could it be that Meng Feiran secretly hid his cultivation realm?"

The more Cao Chuan thought about it, the more confused he felt.

He really couldn't understand why many things that happened after Meng Feiran's death were still related to Meng Feiran.

After all, he didn't understand how an ordinary person who couldn't even fully grasp the power of the Divine Hidden Realm could leave a mark in so many Hidden Dragon Guards' divine souls.

Not to mention that the members of the Hidden Dragon Guard have changed several times, and most of the Hidden Dragon Guards today are no longer the same group they were a hundred years ago.

"Could it be that those three leaders of the Hidden Dragon Guard did it?"

After thinking for a while, Cao Chuan thought of a possibility.

Although the current Qianlong Guard has changed a large number of members, the three leaders of the Qianlong Guard who have always controlled the Qianlong Palace have always been the three who followed Meng Feiran's side back then, no matter what happened in the next hundred years, their status has never been shaken.

In addition, the seals in the three Hidden Dragon Guards detected by the Soul Searching Technique today were from the hands of the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard.

Cao Chuan was even more sure that these things were actually done by the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard.

And the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard was already controlled by Meng Feiran and became a puppet before his death.

"It's just..."

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Chuan, who still felt a little strange, shook his head and muttered, "With Meng Feiran's strength, even if he learns the puppet technique, it is impossible to continue to maintain the operation of the puppet technique after death, right?" And how can the puppet itself control the puppet mysticism? Could it be that there are other puppet secrets that I don't know about? ”

Cao Chuan, who was very puzzled by this, finally asked Wen Jinghao and Yu Qinglan for help.

Both of them were from the spirit realm, and they must know more than he did.

It was Yu Qinglan who opened his mouth to answer Cao Chuan's question.

As the palace master of the Cold Moon Palace, what Yu Qinglan saw and heard was actually much better than Wen Jing as a saintess of the Tianlan Holy Land.

I only heard her speak: "I have seen a lot of puppetry, but I am sure that once all puppets are cast, they need to continuously provide them with spiritual power or evil energy, otherwise once the spiritual power is cut off, the supply of evil energy, then the puppet will lose its effect, and the puppet will return to its original will." ”

"So even if Meng Feiran used other methods to control the three leaders of the Hidden Dragon Guard, he would lose control after his death."

"Therefore, I think that Meng Feiran may not have died, but hid himself by faking his death, and then secretly seized the entire Great Zhou Dynasty by controlling the Hidden Dragon Guard through puppetry."

Yu Qinglan's remarks can be said to be earth-shattering and staggering.

Even Cao Chuan, who had been mentally prepared, felt a little too bizarre after listening to what she said.

After all, it was Meng Feiran who personally supported Lu Mengli to ascend to the throne, if he really wanted to be the emperor himself, then he could directly get rid of Lu Mengli at the moment he took over the Qianlong Guard, and then forge the holy decree to ascend the throne and become the emperor.

After all, there was no one in the court at that time who did not know his relationship with the emperor.

"Then why didn't Meng Feiran do it a hundred years ago, I think if he took Lu Sanyuan's head to the throne and became the emperor, no one should refuse, after all, the Qianlong Wei at that time had already obeyed him, and the Qianlong Wei was handed over to him by the emperor on his own initiative."

Cao Chuan was puzzled, so he could only continue to ask.

"I don't know this, maybe Meng Feiran has doubts and is unwilling to do it at that time, right?" Yu Qinglan didn't know the answer to the question, so he could only shake his head and show that he was also puzzled.

Wen Jinghao didn't open his mouth from beginning to end.

The three of them rushed to the outside of the Hidden Dragon Hall together in silence.

At this time, there were already many Qianlong guards waiting in line outside the Qianlong Palace, who were responsible for guarding other positions in the palace.

Next.

They need to go through a special check before they can enter the Dragon Hall to rest and rotate with others.

As for the inspection that Qianlong Wei was going to undergo, Cao Chuan, Wen Jinghao and Yu Qinglan had already prepared.

Because the so-called inspection is to check whether there are still divine consciousness thoughts belonging to Meng Feiran in their sea of consciousness, as well as the divine soul memory seal from the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard.

Once it is discovered that the seal of the Divine Soul's memory has been loosened, or if something of it is missing, it will be immediately abandoned by the Hidden Dragon Guard, and completely disappear from this world in an instant.

Through the exploration of the memories of the gods.

Cao Chuan and the others already knew that such a thing would happen when they were in the Imperial Garden, and they also knew that this kind of thing had actually been implemented since the establishment of the Qianlong Guard, in order to ensure the loyalty and absolute cleanliness of the Qianlong Guard.

The Hidden Dragon Guard does not allow the existence of external spies inside.

So when it was Cao Chuan's turn to investigate, Wen Jinghao and Yu Qinglan.

Cao Chuan was still a little nervous.

Fortunately, after using a human face mask to disguise it, Yu Qinglan also made a special move to disguise a part of the soul memory for each of them, and even Zhihai was hidden.

As a result, even when they were to be examined inside and outside their bodies, none of the three were found to have any problems.

In this way, after the inspection, Cao Chuan and the others were able to smoothly enter the Hidden Dragon Palace, which looked extremely spectacular on the outside.

And at the moment of entering the Hidden Dragon Palace.

The eyes of Cao Chuan and the others were attracted by the three old men standing not far in front of them.

"It seems that those three old men are the leaders of the Hidden Dragon Guard we are looking for."

The three of them turned their gaze to the front, calmed down, and began to wait patiently for a good enough opportunity.
