Chapter Twenty-Six: A Trip to the Border

That night, two fast horses left Zhujiazhuang and went straight to Yueguo.

The reason why Zhu Youdao brought his fourth uncle Zhu Zhen was because Zhu Zhen knew the situation in Vietnam best.

Zhu Zhen is the fourth son of Zhu Yuanchang, and he has the strongest talent in martial arts, so it can be said that in the Zhu family, if he does not use mana, magic weapons and spirit runes, no one can beat Zhu Zhen.

Well, Zhu Youdao's wife Xie Xiaohong's martial arts may be similar to Zhu Zhen's. Xie Xiaohong has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she joined the army alone, which is really not blowing, Zhu Youdao has competed with her several times in martial arts, but she has simply done it neatly, which makes him very faceless.

The Zhu family has two forces in Vietnam, both bright and dark, with Zhu Kui in charge on the surface and Zhu Zhen in charge secretly.

After galloping for three days and two nights, the two secretly entered Yuejing City at dawn and stayed in a secret manor in Zhu Zhen.

First, someone sent a table of wine and food, and Zhu Youdao said to Zhu Zhen while eating: "Fourth uncle, you send someone to take a look near the uncle's mansion first, if someone is watching, I'm afraid that things will not be simple." ”

"If someone dares to spy on the Zhu family, the one sent must be a master, and I don't worry about others going, I'll go myself!"

Zhu Zhen accompanied Zhu Youdao to eat, and ordered his subordinates to serve him well, so he hurriedly went out.

Just two hours later, Zhu Zhen came back again: "Youdao, it is indeed as you said, the eldest brother's mansion is closely monitored, but I am afraid that things are not simple!"

Zhu Youdao pondered for a moment and said, "Fourth uncle, you have worked hard in the past few days, go and rest first." Uncle will enter the city tonight, if Emperor Yue has any plans, he will definitely make some moves at night, and you will accompany me to the palace at night!"

Zhu Zhen nodded and agreed, and went to rest, although his martial arts are strong, he can't stand it if he travels for a few days in a row, unlike Zhu Youdao, it doesn't matter if he doesn't eat or sleep for a few days.

......

That night, Zhu Youdao and Zhu Zhen secretly infiltrated the palace, although the royal family raised many masters in the palace, they could not detect Zhu Youdao and the two.

Under the guidance of Zhu Zhen, the two found Yue Huang Li Xing in the imperial study. By night, Zhu Youdao and Zhu Zhen hid on the roof outside the room, waiting quietly.

From time to time, the Ouchi guards came to inspect, but Zhu Youdao used a concealment talisman, and even if a mortal walked past him, it would be difficult to find them!

It wasn't until he approached the son that a man hurried in and entered the imperial study.

Zhu Zhen used his internal qi to transmit: "This is Li Tuo, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he is a member of the royal family and a confidant of the Yue Emperor!"

Zhu Youdao nodded slightly, and then, he heard the conversation inside.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Kui has returned, I came to inquire as soon as possible, and the Zhu family refused to test the spiritual root for us!"

Emperor Yue slapped on the table: "This must have been confessed by Old Ghost Zhu, I thought that Old Ghost Zhu was no longer at home, that Zhu Youdao was young and ignorant, and he would promise us, it seems that I made a mistake!"

"Your Majesty, what should we do then?"

Emperor Yue pondered for a moment: "You will personally go to Huangyan Mountain tomorrow to see if you can catch the monks over there!"

"Your Majesty, if there is no treasure that can impress the monks, I am afraid that even if we have a relationship, they will not help us!"

Emperor Yue was silent for a moment, and said: "Bring the Zhenguo jade seal over, according to what our ancestors said, the jade seal is carved with spirit jade, and it should be able to impress them!"

"Your Majesty!" Li Tuo exclaimed: "The jade seal of Zhenguo is a symbol of the imperial power of our Dayue Kingdom!"

"So what, you also said that the jade seal of Zhenguo can only be used as a symbol of imperial power, what is the use of symbolizing it? Without strength, it can't symbolize anything! The most important thing now is to open the ancestral relics, as long as our Yuwen family can regain the ancestral immortal cultivation method and become a Xiuzhen family, it is worth losing this Dayue Kingdom......

Zhu Youdao's heart moved, it turned out that the ancestor of Emperor Yue was also a cultivator, and he claimed to be surnamed Yuwen, but he claimed to be surnamed Li, it seems that there are a lot of stories in it!

It's just that I don't know how they are going to get back the cultivation exercises, this is our Zhu family's chance!

Emperor Yue explained some things to Li Tuo again, turned around and took the jade seal of Zhenguo, wrapped it in brocade, hid it in a food box, and let him carry it out of the palace.

After Li Tuo left, Zhu Youdao sensed through his divine sense that Emperor Yue had turned the candlestick on the wall, and the huge bookshelf against the wall of the imperial study slowly opened, and it turned out to be a secret room inside.

Zhu Youdao sent a message to Zhu Zhen: "You follow Li Tuo, find an opportunity to kill him, and get back the food box in his hand! I still have some things here, I'll go to the manor to find you after I'm done!"

Zhu Zhen nodded in agreement and went quietly.

Emperor Yue stayed in the secret room for half an hour, and was about to leave the imperial study after coming out, when he saw a flower in front of him, and there was one more person.

Emperor Yue was about to shout, Zhu Youdao pointed at his head, and Emperor Yue fell silently.

Zhu Youdao lifted Emperor Yue to sit down on the dragon chair and made him lie on the table, looking as if he was asleep.

Then turn the candelabra trap to open the entrance to the chamber.

Zhu Youdao walked in, the passage of the secret room was built in a winding way, and countless traps were carefully set up inside, but unfortunately, although these traps were exquisite, they were only mortal methods, and there was nothing to hide under the monk's divine sense. After walking more than 100 steps, I came across a gate made of stainless steel. Zhu Youdao didn't need a key, he directly smashed the lock cylinder with mana, and the door opened as soon as he pushed it.

It was pitch black inside, Zhu Youdao activated a fire talisman, lit up the arm-thick candlestick on the wall, and raised his eyes to see that the secret room in front of him was made of neatly polished bluestone, and there were not many things in it, just a few swords stored on a few wooden shelves.

Zhu Youdao picked one up casually, drew his sword out of its sheath, and flicked it with his hand, making a clanging sound. These are rare divine weapons, and the quality is not inferior to Zhu Youdao's weapons refined with mortal iron.

Zhu Youdao put down his sword and carefully inspected the secret room, but found no suspicious items.

He scanned it again with his divine sense, only to find that in the corner of the secret room, there was an inconspicuous stone carving.

But under the sense of divine sense, this stone sculpture is hollow, and there seems to be a hidden mystery inside. He smashed the stone sculpture with a single punch, and two things fell out of it: an ancient book and a strangely shaped key.

picked up the ancient book and read it by candlelight, but after a moment, Zhu Youdao showed excitement.

The ancient book was left to future generations by the Xiuzhen family surnamed Yuwen, and the Yuwen family once built a treasure trove in the mortal world, which contained the family's cultivation exercises and some treasures, in case the family suffered a disaster, the descendants could also make a comeback according to the treasure!

In order to prevent the treasure from being seized by outsiders, a special key is required to open the treasure, and forcibly opening it will only activate the magic circle of the treasure house and destroy all the contents inside.

Moreover, when the Yuwen family built the treasure house, the control circle arranged could only be opened after two hundred years, and only one person could enter after opening, and the person who entered it must also have a spiritual root.

Zhu Youdao finally understood why Emperor Yue was so eager to test the spiritual root for his juniors.
