Chapter 262: In the Palace
There have already been disciples who have come to the capital to investigate the situation before, and have a rough idea of some basic conditions, plus two princes, oh no, the layout map of the palace provided by the prince will be more convenient to act.
"Now that Yuan Infant Demon Clan should still be in the palace, we have to be careful when we go in." After telling him again, Elder Yue was still not at ease, and told him again.
Now most of the forces of the demon clan are in the palace, and the southeast gate is the most guarded.
Elder Yue arranged for the disciples to divide into two paths, fourteen of them followed him to the southeast gate to attract the attention of the demons, and Shu Jue took the other five disciples to enter through the least guarded north gate, and rescued the trapped Terrans inside first.
According to the Nine Princes, there are still many officials and their families trapped in the palace, as well as some palace people, who are now trapped in the palace, and they don't know what the situation is.
At that time, it happened to be the time of the palace banquet, and those demons sat on the throne as if they suddenly appeared.
Seeing the prime minister dogged the new emperor and gave way, everyone knew that it was the demon clan that he relied on for his reinstatement.
Several officials couldn't stand it, pointed at the prime minister and scolded him, and before he finished scolding, he was in a different place, and the smell of blood completely covered the smell of dim sum and wine at the palace banquet, for the nine princes who were lucky enough to leave the palace, that night was like a nightmare.
On the one hand, the demons tortured the human race in various cities, and on the other hand, they wanted to show their benevolence, and pretended to let a few people out, and the Nine Princes were one of them.
The other two princes didn't have such good luck as him, they were forcibly left in the palace as guests, and there was no news after writing like this.
But for those who are outside the palace, no news is the best news.
When Shujue and the others arrived at the north gate, several demon guards by the door were holding the wine jar and drinking, drunk and unconscious, shouting with blurred eyes, "This human wine still tastes a little bit like drinking, but there is no meat to eat, it's a pity." ”
"Wait, when Lord Tan's great cause is achieved, are you afraid that there will be no meat to eat?"
Lord Tan? Tan Lin?
Shu Jue's brows furrowed imperceptibly.
"Little junior sister, do we ...... want to go in directly?"
However, before he could finish speaking, the sword light flashed in front of him, and there was an extra blood mark on the necks of several demons in front of him, and blood splattered for a while.
Of the four demons, there is only one left in the blink of an eye.
The rest of the one was still drunk and dazed, and several people around him had fallen, and he didn't even realize that these people were dead, but instead kicked them with his feet, muttering, "This can't be done?" Get up! I haven't finished drinking yet! ”
The three of them had long since lost their breath, how could they possibly answer him anything, there was only silence for a while.
"Tsk!" The demon who was lucky enough to pick up a life grabbed the wine jug and staggered about to leave, but there was a sudden chill on his neck.
A faint female voice came from behind him unhurriedly: "Where do you want to go?" ”
Shu Jue tied him tightly and threw him in the corner like a rag, the long sword was still against his neck, and he looked down at him with a cold and condescending expression: "I asked, you said." ”
"You...... Who are you? Let me tell you, if you dare to touch me, Lord Tan, no, Lord Zhu Yan will not let you go! He tried to move away from the sword, but as soon as he moved, the blade sank a few points into his skin, and when the tingling sensation came, he froze and did not dare to move again.
"Is that Lord Tan you are talking about Tan Lin?" There was a little imperceptible coldness in Shu Jue's voice.
"Yes, yes!" The demon carefully observed her expression, and for fear that her answer would displease her, she pushed her sword forward a few more points.
"What is your purpose this time?"
"I don't know! I'm just a janitor...... Yes! ”
Shu Jue slowly stirred the long sword in his hand, and his face was calm: "Have you thought clearly about the consequences of lying?" ”
"For the sake of the alienating terrans! It's for the sake of dividing the Terrans! After Lord Tan's failed operation in the southern country last time, Lord Zhu Yan became very angry, so this time Lord Tan is ready to draw the entire Red Eagle into the demon camp! ”
Coercion and temptation, all kinds of means, as long as people have weakness, they can be used.
"Last question, where are the prime ministers of Red Eagle and Tan Lin?"
"The prime minister is in the Summer Palace, and Lord Tan Lin is in the Xuanzheng Palace." He looked at Shu Jue, "I told you everything you asked, is it okay to ......?"
"Well, thank you." Shu Jue indifferently withdrew her long sword and turned to leave.
The corpse of the demon guard slowly fell.
His expression was frozen in surprise and disbelief, as if he didn't understand why he had said everything, but Shujue still refused to let him go.
Shu Jue sent out the news she had found out and infiltrated the Summer Palace with a few disciples.
With the Concealment Charm, they had a smooth journey.
When he arrived at the Summer Palace, the prime minister was lying on a recliner, and several girls next to him peeled fruit and fed him wine.
Not far away, a eunuch held a child in his arms, kneeling there motionless like a wood carving.
"Phew." The prime minister spit out the kernel in his mouth, and he just spit on his head impartially, and seeing that she had no expression, he snorted coldly:
"Oh, my lord, you can't kneel down to this traitor! What's going on? How do you change your kneeling? ”
As he laughed, the wrinkles on his face became more and more wrinkled, almost killing mosquitoes.
"Prime Minister, please also please, adults don't care about villains, save the country!"
The lord of the country?
Shujue, their eyes followed his words, and they all looked into his arms.
I saw that the child in his arms was red, his breathing was heavy, his mouth was uncomfortably open, and he frowned and looked breathless.
Is this sick?
"It's not that I don't want to save it, you also saw it, just like this, who in the palace will listen to me?" The prime minister raised his eyelids, but he didn't look over there, opened his mouth and ate a petal of orange, and then said unhurriedly:
"Now you also know that the one in your arms is just an empty puppet with the position of the lord of the country, so it is better to sacrifice him to Lord Tan to show his loyalty. Won't you be able to enjoy all this without doing anything, just like me? ”
"Whew!" Seeing his attitude, the eunuch holding the new emperor didn't say anything more, spat at him fiercely, got up and was about to leave.
Xu was kneeling for a long time, and when he just got up, he almost fell down, Shu Jue's fingertips poured out spiritual power, and an invisible force firmly supported his knees.
"Huh?" He sensed something was wrong, but he didn't have time to think about it.
Because the prime minister didn't intend to let him go at all, seeing that he was leaving, he made a color, and the guards who were originally guarding the door immediately surrounded him.
The eunuch's pupils shrank suddenly, he didn't expect him to be so ruthless and be able to attack such an older child!
