Chapter 246: Extinguishing the Mouth

Imperial City, Xiao Mansion.

In the study, Xiao Zhong sat behind the desk, staring at a small note on the table, silent.

Xiao Liushi next to him picked up the note, and after reading it, he said in surprise: "This is the news from your informant in the palace, that kid often doesn't return home at night?

Xiao Zhong glanced at his wife and shook his head: "Women, what do you know? I was still having a headache with what excuse to use, but now he is looking for death by himself." ”

"What do you say?" Xiao Liushi asked puzzled.

Xiao Zhong sneered, "In the palace, you don't go home at night, not once or twice. Where can that kid go? It just so happened that some time ago, the inner treasury of the palace was burglarized, and this wooden man nine happened to have been to the inner treasury some time ago. Can't I guarantee that he sneaked into the palace to steal because he was interested in the treasure in the inner library?"

Xiao Liu's eyes lit up, "As soon as you say that, I feel that this kid is really a thief." ”

"Hmph. Even if he wasn't, put him in prison for interrogation first, and it was normal for some accidents to happen in the prison. When the time comes, let him commit suicide in fear of sin, and God will not know it!"

There was a sinister laugh in the room, and then Xiao Zhong said, "Go, you personally take my name card to invite the palace king's guards to make an appointment with a restaurant, and I want to catch up with him." ”

Xiao Liushi answered and walked out of the study with a smile. Xiao Chong in the room showed a look of sadness and resentment on his face, and muttered to himself in the air, "Ding'er, Dad will avenge you immediately, I will let the kid who killed you repent in front of your grave!"

Mu Chen didn't know that a conspiracy had been woven and shrouded him. In the past few days, due to the injury of his arm, he basically does not go out much, and hides in the room to heal. Princess Xuan also seemed to know about Mu Chen's injury, so she didn't bother him, but secretly sent some special injury medicine for the royal family.

The royal medicine for wounds is really extraordinary. Originally, the injury on Mu Chen's hand would take at least more than a month to heal, but now it is only two or three days, and most of it is better. The bruises on the back are even more healed. After all, he is young and strong, and Mu Chen is a marrow changer, so his injuries naturally recover much faster than ordinary people.

Another day passed. The injury on Mu Chen's hand recovered ninety percent. After changing into ordinary clothes, Mu Chen pushed open the door and secretly left the palace with his stealth ability.

Out of the palace, Mu Chen came to the shop where he bought white-lipped bamboo leaves last time. It cost fifteen thousand taels of snowflakes and silver to buy five black poisonous bees.

These black poisonous bees, each the size of a baby's fist, have a slender body, and the tail spine contains highly poisonous, and the person who is stabbed will be paralyzed and have difficulty breathing, and if it is not treated within half an hour, then it will die.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Chen went to the pharmacy and spent three thousand taels of silver to buy a small bamboo tube of poison arrow wood juice.

Poison Arrow Wood is a tree whose sap is white and highly poisonous, and if it comes into contact with human blood, it will kill instantly. Mu Chen visited the pharmacies in the entire imperial city, and only then did he buy nearly a dozen drops under the temptation of heavy money. But just these dozen drops of venom are enough to poison dozens of strong men!

Mu Chen took the poisonous bee and venom and found an inn. Using the animal control ability to control the wasps and then dipped them in venom with their tail spines one by one, the person who is stung by the black poison bee will only be able to die unless they find a skilled healer within three minutes and have the right antidote.

After doing all this, Mu Chen drank a sip of royal jelly, recovered some of his mental strength, and then switched his sense of smell ability, walked to the street where he encountered Brother Tiger that night, and began to capture the smell of the air.

The corpses on that street have been cleaned up at this moment, and the blood stains on the ground have also been cleaned. It's just that the depressions of some of the crossbow arrows on the walls and the scorch marks caused by the explosion of flames are still vivid.

Mu Chen used his olfactory ability, and then he saw all kinds of odor factors floating in the air, his nose twitched, and began to quickly analyze the source of these odor factors, and screen his targets from them.

When Mu Chen had only obtained the olfactory ability before, under normal circumstances, he could capture the smell residue left by an area half a year ago. What's more, it's only been a few days now.

Soon, he analyzed four goals. Those were the only five people who were lucky to survive under his crossbow arrows that day, and only five people were wounded. That night, after Mu Chen killed Brother Hu, he really didn't have the strength to finish it again, so he had to scare these five people away. And now, it's time to understand.

Following the smell, Mu Chen walked all the way, and then came to the street of the night market. At the end of the street, in a house, all that came was the thick smell of the target.

Mu Chen silently sat down at a tea stall next to him, asked for a cup of tea, and then gently opened his sleeves under the table, and five black poisonous bees crawled out, then shook his wings and flew into the house.

Mu Chen finished drinking a cup of tea, stood up, and left without looking back. Not long after he left, several screams came from the house, which attracted a large number of passers-by. After a while, it even attracted a quick catch. And Mu Chen had already disappeared into the crowd

That night, Mu Chen, who returned to the palace, was invited by Princess Xuan, and after late at night, he used his stealth ability to come to the Palace of Dreams. Then I happened to see Princess Xuan sitting in front of the window, holding her chin and looking at the stars outside the window, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, I don't know what happy thing Lu Dao thought of.

"Ahem. ”

Mu Chen broke away from the invisibility and coughed dryly twice, Princess Xuan woke up suddenly, turned her head to see Mu Chen, and her eyes showed joy, "Mu Renjiu, you are here." ”

Mu Chen nodded and found a place to sit down, "It's so late, princess, do you have anything to do with letting me come?"

Princess Xuan smiled, "I can't look for you if I don't have anything to do?" Don't you forget, you said before, you came to me once every ten nights, and today is exactly the tenth day. By the way, are your hands good?"

"Thank you princess for your concern, it's almost good. After a pause, Mu Chen said helplessly: "What is there to do during the day, why do you want me to come over at night?"

"It's daytime during the day, it's night at night, it's not the same. It's your agreement, why, I don't want to keep it. ”

Mu Chen's face shrugged down, "No, what do you want to do on that big night?"

Princess Xuan smiled slightly, and asked curiously, "What are you not doing, let's chat." That's right. What's the matter with the fire that popped out of your hand that day, how did you burn that big guy to death all at once! And what's the matter with the bow and crossbow that suddenly appeared in your hand? Could it be that you really have a space ring?"

Mu Chen listened to Princess Xuan's words and sighed. Zhilu Dao still can't escape. He can kill the gangsters who witnessed everything that day, but he can't do anything to Princess Xuan. Scratching his head, Mu Chen stretched out his right hand, took off his gloves, and revealed a ring with an octagonal pattern inside.

"The flame of that day was because of this glove. This is called the Flame Gauntlet, a fifth-level spirit soldier, through this glove, you can consume mental power and gain the ability to control flames. And this is the space ring. ”

After Mu Chen gave a brief introduction, Princess Xuan's eyes widened in surprise, "Fifth-level spirit soldier, space ring! God, not to mention the value of fifth-level spirit soldiers, space rings are the most precious and rare spirit soldiers! You actually have a space ring!"

Mu Chen was helpless, looked at Princess Xuan and said, "This is my secret, so, just like that night, help me keep it secret, okay?"

Princess Xuan's eyes flickered, "Secrets, how many secrets do you still have?"

Mu Chen smiled bitterly and did not answer. Princess Hyun patted her chest, "Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you." This is a secret between you and me. ”

Princess Xuan said, I don't know what Lu Dao thought, a touch of crimson flew on her face, and then she turned around to cover it up and said, "I know that Lu Dao has a very fun game called flying chess, let's play it." ”

As long as Princess Xuan is willing to keep it secret, let alone playing flying chess, even if she is playing flying chess, she doesn't mind if she plays flying man. After listening to the former explain the rules, the two of them had a lot of fun in this dream palace. Until the sky was hazy, Princess Xuan yawned to rest, and Mu Chen secretly left the Dream Palace after stealing.

Watching the door open and close strangely, Princess Xuan knew that Mu Chen had left, with a smile on her face, and she fell asleep safely.

On the other side, Mu Chen left the Youmeng Palace, found a remote corner and showed up, walked towards his residence, and walked to the door, suddenly feeling that something was wrong. Because there was clearly a long breathing sound in the room.

"Who's in my room?"

Mu Chen frowned, pushed open the door, and saw a guard in armor standing up and sneering at him: "Mu Ren Jiu, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Mu Chen asked suspiciously, "Are you?"

The guard didn't answer Mu Chen's question, and shouted: "Come on, take down this thief and put him in prison for trial!"

There was a sound of neat footsteps outside the room, and when Mu Chen turned around, he saw a group of soldiers stopped outside the door, faintly surrounding the entire room. Then two soldiers stepped forward and stretched out their hands to capture Mu Chen.

Mu Chen's first reaction when he saw these guards was that his night visit to Neiku was discovered. He almost couldn't resist running away incognito. But reason was forceful, so he suppressed his impulses, stood in place, and was caught by two guards with iron chains.

He knew that if he escaped at this time, I am afraid there would be no chance of recovery. It is imperative to figure out what happened so that there will be a chance of recovery.

Mu Chen, who was chained, stared at the guard and asked loudly, "I am the Xuanjie Captain given by His Majesty, what reason do you have to arrest me?"

The guard's eyes flickered slightly, and then he sneered: "It's just an eight-rank martial arts official, how can you not be arrested?" I received a report that you, as a student of the martial arts academy guarding the Ghost Dream Palace, did not return at night and disappeared in the palace. I have reason to suspect that you are the thief who infiltrated the palace some time ago!"
