Chapter 114: Xiangning Palace
Li Huaiyun raised his head, stroked his chin, and thought back to what he had encountered before, "Before that, I met with the black-robed man, this guy was at a disadvantage at the time, and when the other demon hunters came, that guy actually disappeared into the willow tree!" ”
When Yan Zheng heard this, he immediately thought of something, "You mean, that black-robed man entered the palace with the help of this locust tree." ”
"Highly likely!"
Li Huaiyun glanced at the wooden kite, "In your memory, this locust tree has been there since you were born?" ”
The wooden kite was full of confusion, she no longer knew whether her memories were real, "Yes, but I don't know... ”
"It's okay! It's normal to be confused when something like this happens! ”
Li Huaiyun said to Yan Zheng, "Remember to dig out the whole locust tree from the ground, there should be a rhizome leading to the outside of the palace." ”
Yan Zheng was suddenly stunned for a moment, "Yes! It is very likely that the black-robed man came to the palace in this way. ”
Li Huaiyun is most worried about the wooden kite now, for fear that this woman will have excesses in her behavior, and the place where she went this time will also harm the murderer who killed her mother, plus the emperor is far away, and the current Xiangning Palace, I am afraid that it will have long been unguarded, except for some subordinates, after ensuring the normal life of Concubine Rong, there should be no guards.
That's actually the same as the cold palace.
The wooden kite turned her head to see Li Huaiyun with a worried look, she slowed down and walked side by side with him, she touched his arm with her elbow, "What are you thinking about!" Why is there such a look on his face? ”
Li Huaiyun didn't hide it, and directly said his worries, "I'm worried about you!" ”
The wooden kite looked surprised, "What? Why are you worried about me? Are you afraid that I can't help it and beat to death the murderer who killed my mother? ”
"That's one thing, and the other way, I'm worried about your mental state!"
"Mental state?"
"Yes, when you see the poor murderer, you may choose to forgive the murderer, but the strong conscious instinct before tells you that you must avenge your mother, which will put you into two states and seriously affect your spirit."
"No way, I can't wait to send this woman to hell at this moment to comfort my mother's soul in heaven."
"I've seen a lot of people like you, and the words you say are the most ruthless, but when you arrive at the scene, you throw a knife over, and it's not that you can't do it, and...
"!" The wooden kite scolded loudly, "This is my mother-killing enemy, who killed my mother with my own hands, and I killed her more than ten times and was not angry, how could I not do it." ”
She clenched her fists and shouted loudly, "I've been waiting for this moment, I've been waiting for so many years, how can I not do it." ”
Li Huaiyun looked at the wooden kite's hatred like the sea, he only hoped that this woman would not let hatred drive him, and he also hoped that things would not develop like this.
The three of them came to the stone road outside Xiangning Palace.
Li Huaiyun used the Qi Hope Technique, looked at the kind of dormitory in front of him, and found that this Xiangning Palace was surrounded by a cloud of colorful smoke, which was thick and heavy, slowly spreading out to the surroundings, and had a tendency to rise upward.
According to the wandering old monk, this type of qi is afraid that there is that kind of calamity in it, but this is the concubine's bedroom, how can there be that kind of thing.
Could it be the Buddha that Concubine Rong believes in, is there a problem?
They had already come to the outside of this dormitory, only more than ten meters away from the gate, and to Li Huaiyun's surprise, there were actually guards guarding the gate.
It seems that this emperor is still affectionate and righteous.
The two guards saw three strangers not far away, looked at each other, and put their hands on their sabers.
Seeing this, Yan Zheng stopped, and then said, "After that, it is inconvenient for me to accompany the two of you, so you can only go to Xiangning Palace to investigate by yourself." ”
He clasped his fists and saluted, "I'll go check that locust tree first!" ”
Li Huaiyun and Mu Kite also saluted solemnly, and he advised, "Remember that after digging up the locust tree, be sure not to act alone, and notify the Demon Slayer Division that there must be a demon hunter present." ”
"Hmm!" Solemnly bowed and saluted, "Thank you Gongzi Li for reminding me." ”
"You're welcome!"
For Yan Zheng, Li Huaiyun's ability has greatly impressed him, although this case is related to monsters, but this person's analysis and inference are extremely accurate.
If such a person can come to Dali Temple, the pile of unsolved cases piled up on the desk may have the possibility of being solved.
Looking at the back of Li Huaiyun leaving, he let out a silent sigh.
Li Huaiyun and Mu Kite came to the gate of Xiangning Palace, and the two guards raised their arms vigilantly, and the scabbards in their hands touched each other, stopping them outside.
"This is Xiangning Palace, no one is allowed to enter without the emperor's edict."
Li Huaiyun glanced at the wooden kite beside him, "Do you need to go and talk to the emperor?" ”
"No, you don't! I'm afraid that the faint gentleman will regret not letting us look into it. ”
When the guards heard the words of the wooden kite, they immediately said loudly, "Who are you to dare to be disrespectful to the emperor here." ”
The wooden kite pushed away the two sabers that were blocked in front of him, "I am the fourteenth princess, the wooden kite, and I have come here to meet Concubine Rong!" ”
"Get in there and pass it on now!" Mu Kite scolded loudly, "Let's just say that Concubine Yi's daughter asked to meet,"
"Who?" The guards looked at each other, and after that, they finally remembered something, "Is it the concubine who committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake before?" ”
When the wooden kite heard this, the anger in his heart was even worse, but he still held back, "Yes! It's an old acquaintance! Your Concubine Rong must know! ”
Li Huaiyun walked up, leaned against the body of the wooden kite, and said softly, "I'm afraid there are monsters hidden in this palace, after entering, you must be more careful!" ”。
"Hmmm! I know! The wooden kite waited in front of the door, looking into the door, thinking about how to question Concubine Rong after entering, and let her tell her about the death of her mother.
One of the guards went in for a long time, but he didn't come out, I don't know if something happened!
"Is there such a long way in this palace? How long does it take? ”
"It's not going to be a direct message!" The wooden kite clenched its fists.
"With this tightly guarded palace, if you want to leave quietly, I'm afraid it's difficult!"
As soon as the words fell, the guard walked out of the gate, then raised his hand and said with a serious expression, "The princess said, I don't know you two, please leave quickly!" Otherwise, someone will have to take action and expel you from the palace. ”
Li Huaiyun pursed his lips, judging from this scene, the people here must be afraid, and it seems that they have to prepare other ways to enter.
The wooden kite took a few steps forward, stepped on the steps, and shouted at the guard, "We were sent by the emperor to investigate, and we came to find the princess because we have something to tell, and I don't know what's strange." ”
Seeing the idea of the two of them breaking into the dormitory, the guards directly threw the scabbard of the saber to the ground, and the edge of the knife glowing with cold light was extremely sharp, and they used it to make an attack posture.
"Please stop, or don't blame the sword for being ruthless."
The temper of the wooden kite will not flinch at all, and it still uses that resentful look to protect the front fiercely, "Hmph! You two little guards are actually rushing in the palace and pointing their blades at me? ”
"No matter who you are, you can't enter Xiangning Palace without the emperor's edict." The guard grinned and shouted at the kite, "Get out of here for me!" The princess did not see any guests today. ”
It seems that this guard has been here for a few years, and the wooden kite has always been killing the demon division, so it's normal to not know! But it's also possible that the people inside have given a death order and are going to stop us from entering.
The two people in front of the meeting were still standing in place, not leaving, and the two guards pressed the saber in their hands forward, trying to scare away the two who were not afraid of death by the sharp blade.
"I'll say it again, let me go immediately, the princess won't be a guest!"
Li Huaiyun stood up, "We are responsible for investigating the case, and the emperor personally issued the order, so you are blocking it again, are you going against the emperor's will?" ”
When the two guards heard this, they sneered, "I tell you, we are guarding here, and the emperor himself ordered it!" ”
"If you want to investigate the case, go to other places to investigate! What are you doing here? The princess said that if she doesn't know you, don't waste any more time! ”
Li Huaiyun said, "Because we found out that Princess Rong was related to the case, we came here to figure out this clue." ”
"No one is allowed to enter without the emperor's decree."
The wooden kite couldn't bear it anymore, she took a step forward, raised her arm, and aimed the crossbow at the two guards, she said in a cold voice, "Hurry up and get out of the way, we have to go in to see Concubine Rong!" If you block it again, don't blame me for being rude! This is not something you can stop. ”
The two guards held their sabers in front of them, obviously preparing to resist hard, and no matter what the other party did, they would swear to defend this place to the death.
Li Huaiyun felt the atmosphere at this time, to the point of irreconcilability, life and death killing, or the identity of the princess and the guard, obviously such a scene must be controlled.
"We are following the emperor's will to guard Xiangning Palace again, as long as the princess says it, we will not see guests! You are absolutely not allowed to go in unless you step on our corpses! ”
The wooden kite said, "Then I can just break in, regardless of whether you die or not." ”
The guard sank down, "Then it depends on whether you have the ability to do it!" ”
Li Huaiyun stepped forward and grabbed the wooden kite, "I remember that the emperor said, don't just clash with people!" My suggestion is to let us go first ... ”
"Two guards!" At this moment, from inside the gate, a girl dressed as a palace maid came out, with a slender waist and limbs, but her hips were straight, and she saluted the two guards, "Princess Gang said, I want to see the two outside the door." ”
The palace maid raised her head, glanced at the guards with her clear eyes, and then at Li Huaiyun and the wooden kite, bowed and saluted, "Princess, the princess is invited!" ”
Li Huaiyun expressed confusion about this, he glanced at the wooden kite, and whispered, "This... We still have to be extremely careful, we still look like we won't let in before, but at this moment, we suddenly change our attitude, it looks like there is a fraud.! ”
Mu Kite looked at Li Huaiyun, who was a little cautious, and wondered if this guy was too cautious, "I think you're thinking too much!" In the entire dormitory, in addition to Concubine Rong, there are only a few weak women and eunuchs, just like that, what can happen? Still afraid that she will turn the sky upside down? ”
"Wooden kite! I'm going to say this, weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is! ”
Wood Kite frowned, "These words you learned there make no sense. ”
