Chapter Eighty-Three: The Palace
Lin Xiuran smiled faintly and gently jumped towards Yang Wanpeng.
At this time, Yang Wanpeng was nailed to the middle of the crowd again, unable to move.
"Zheng!"
The knife light slashed, stabbing Yang Wanpeng's eyes painfully, and then his neck was cold, and he couldn't think anymore.
[You have killed an Orange-level late-stage martial artist.] 】
[You have gained 10 Inferior Soul Energy, and your quest progress has increased by 15%, and your current quest progress is 104%]
[If it is detected that the host has completed the main quest and completed it abnormally, in addition to the original reward (attribute points× 25,10000 system points), additional rewards can be obtained.] 】
[According to the payback equivalence mechanism, the task completion and reward are being re-compared and calculated......]
[Calculation successful!] The host can get an additional attribute point ×3. 】
[Since the host still has a side quest that has not been completed, it can only be returned after the host is completed.] 】
[You kill the son of the plane of the plane, and your 'Annihilation' increases by 240 experience.] The current XP progress for 'Annihilation' is: 278/400. 】
"Whoa!"
When Yang Wanpeng's head hit the ground, many people sat on the ground at once.
Like them, whose strength is less than the orange-level realm, besieging an existence that is a whole realm higher than them or even more, as long as they are beaten, it is a dead end, and the pressure is very great, and now there is finally no need to be afraid.
Lin Xiuran slowly put away the knife and looked at the corpses around him, "Call someone to deal with these deceased, and they will be buried thickly, and each survivor will have a thousand dinks." ”
How to say that these people also died for their mission, these practices are just a gesture.
All that is done now is to rush to the palace as soon as possible.
"I'll wait to thank the general!"
......
A man and a woman walked up to a golden gate.
Two tall and mighty soldiers crossed their spears, blocking their way.
"Stop!" said one of the soldiers, with a serious face.
"We have to enter fingerprints!" Lin Xiuran said.
The two soldiers felt a pang in their hearts, and looked at the visitors with a little respect in their eyes.
This is the Imperial Palace, which is heavily guarded, and three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post are not enough to explain the strict guards in it.
If someone dares to trespass, it will become a corpse in a few minutes, and even if a late-stage orange-level master enters, it can only prolong the time of death.
In recent years, Lin Tianchen has received strong support for technology that can help consolidate rule and stabilize order.
There are only three ways to enter the palace: one is to get the emperor's edict, the second is to go to the highest monitoring center in the capital to enter one's fingerprints, and the third is to brush your face.
However, those who can use the latter two methods usually have a strong backstage or official position. That's why the attitude of the two soldiers has changed, and they can't afford to mess with such people.
The soldier brought an instrument and let the two of them go after completing the formalities.
"It stands to reason that the defense of the palace should be impregnable, how can we be used? Could it be that there is a mole inside? Or are the people of the rivers and lakes mixed in? Why would someone assassinate Lin Tianchen when this kind of system of rivers and lakes was about to collapse?" Lin Xiuran was a little puzzled.
Lin Xiuran's statement that the Jianghu system is facing collapse is not groundless.
Judging from the recent situation, most of the big forces in the rivers and lakes have been uprooted one after another, and many small and medium-sized forces have been secretly cleaned up or co-opted.
Coupled with the ban on martial arts, there will be such a process: the number of people who practice martial arts in the rivers and lakes will decrease→ the personnel of the armed forces institutions of the imperial court will be reduced accordingly→ there will be no more people practicing martial arts outside the imperial court→ the mainstream concept will change→ new concept will affect the transformation of society → civilization.
If nothing else, the force value of this plane will only get lower and lower, and finally evolve from a martial arts plane to a technology plane.
'Aran, are you a detective?'
'Well, no. ’
'Do you want to be a detective?'
I don't want to. ’
Then don't think so much about why, we just need to protect Lin Tianchen in these two days, and don't care about the rest." Lin Zixian smiled and pinched Lin Xiuran's face, she loved to be intimate with her younger brother the most, hehe......
‘......’
The fragrant fragrance came to his nose, Lin Xiuran's heart trembled, his heartbeat accelerated a lot unconsciously, and his face turned a little red, but he still tried to pretend that nothing happened.
"Giggle~"
When Lin Zixian saw his embarrassment, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, letting out a laugh like a silver bell.
They hadn't taken a few steps when a group of soldiers appeared in front of them. Its armor was black and shiny, with a metallic sheen, and its eyes were cold.
"Stop! stop and be checked!" a soldier held out a hand, motioning for the two to stop moving on.
"Wow. ”
The two took out two golden tokens.
When the soldier saw this, his pupils shrank, put away the instrument in his hand, and stepped aside.
The token they showed was a pass given by Lin Tianchen, with which they could enter the palace unimpeded.
Without too much friction, keep going.
Lin Xiuran thought that there would be inspections again and again, but found that this was not the case.
Because going inside, there are very few forbidden troops to check. However, he did not know the layout of the guards in the palace, and he was not sure if this was the case elsewhere.
After all, as long as a slightly smarter person will not easily let others see the distribution of his guards, that is, he will not let the number, layout, and patrol rules of the forbidden army distribution in each place be too similar.
But it doesn't matter if you don't know now, when they get to the designated place, someone will provide this information so that they can control the overall situation and defend efficiently.
Along the way, he guessed that the current palace was tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and he really didn't know what was wrong.
When I walked to the front of the main hall, I met a man with blue short sleeves and eight-point jeans, who looked feminine.
But he was not a eunuch, and the profession had long since disappeared. Because a certain former emperor of the Dalin Dynasty felt that the existence of eunuchs was too inhumane, he abolished the eunuch system with a wave of his hand.
Moreover, the size of the emperor's harem of each dynasty is not too much, the most dozens of them, the least few, and there are only a dozen women like Lin Tianchen.
After all, there are too many emperors in the harem to do ♀, and they are prone to palace fights, which is annoying.
Besides, raising them requires a lot of financial support, so why do these thankless tasks? In order to show that the emperor is good at that aspect? No kidding, a ruler will not be so boring, unless he is a faint king.
To sum up, the existence of eunuchs is dispensable.
is not afraid of the idea of replacing the eunuchs of the new group to fight the emperor's harem, after all, they have a large number of masters secretly protecting them when they travel, who dares to move their hearts?
"Two adults, please come with me. The man bowed slightly, motioning for them to follow.
The three of them came to a room with a grim-faced officer.
"I am Jiang Wenjun, the commander of the Imperial City Forbidden Army, Your Majesty is in the Early Dynasty at this time, and after the early Dynasty is over, you will begin to protect Your Majesty. Jiang Junwen stared at the two of them with scrutinizing eyes.
In his heart, he actually didn't agree with Erlin to be responsible for Lin Tianchen's safety, thinking that he had been the commander of the forbidden army for decades, and his strength was also in the late stage of the general level, why didn't His Majesty choose him?
Although he was a little unhappy with Erlin, he didn't show it. Since His Majesty has chosen them, there must be a reason for him, and it is good to be a subordinate to do so.
"This is the distribution map and scheduling rules of the forbidden army in the palace, you can take a look, remember to destroy it after reading it. Jiang Junwen handed Lin Xiuran a rolled up piece of A4 paper.
"I want to ask, how is the guard force here ......," Lin Xiuran asked his own question.
Jiang Junwen's eyes froze, and he glanced at the man who led the way, who understood in seconds and quickly found a reason to leave.
Jiang Junwen was silent for a while, his expression was a little tangled, and he said after a while: "A few days ago, when Your Majesty was out on tour, there were explosives and assassin attacks, which damaged the inner south gate of the palace, and now it is still being repaired, and Your Majesty has also suffered some injuries......
His Majesty Long Yan was furious and ordered General Wu Zhizhong to thoroughly investigate the matter and find out the real culprit within two days. Since many troops had gone out to encircle and suppress the rebels, the general could only temporarily transfer some of the guards of the palace. ”
Lin Xiuran understood, it turned out that Lin Tianchen was injured, and it was not a minor injury, otherwise with his strength in the late orange level, he would not pull down his face and ask someone to help, even if the person who helped was his own child.
Not only that, the situation of the greatly reduced garrison strength made Lin Tianchen feel uneasy.
In fact, he can hide, and it's OK to hide for two days.
But he was the emperor, and it was impossible to do such a thing. Not only can he not hide, but he must also handle government affairs and state affairs as usual, otherwise he will give some people with bad intentions the opportunity to take advantage of the fire and rob.
As such, this side quest is a short-term (two-day) high-intensity (the number of enemies is not small, and the strength is not much weaker) fixed-point mission (the protection range is the palace, and it can only be the palace).
Lin Xiuran figured out the original situation and the constraints of the task, and the truth was almost the same as he thought.
"That's it, I'm still going on patrol, you just wait here for Your Majesty's early dynasty to end. Also, in a moment my Vice-Commander will come to your aid. ”
Jiang Junwen is gone.
"Wait, how long are we going to wait?" Lin Xiuran said suddenly.
"A wooden point or so. Jiang Junwen's voice came from afar.
The wooden minute is a unit of time here, which is about forty minutes when converted to the time on the Aqua Blue Planet.
"Tuk Tuk!"
After waiting for a while, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Who?"
"Feng Shaoquan, the deputy commander of the forbidden army. A deep male voice came.
"Come in. ”
A man with a bear's back walked in.
"I've seen two General Wu. Feng Shaoquan hugged his fists.
"Is the situation of the guards okay now?" Lin Xiuran sat on a sofa with his hands on his chest.
"Everything is fine, General. ”
"Buzz ......"
A mosquito flew in front of Lin Zixian's eyes.
"Zheng!"
The knife flashed.
The buzzing of mosquitoes disappeared.
Feng Shaoquan's right hand subconsciously touched the machete on his left waist, and quickly put it down. He looked over curiously, startled.
I saw that the little mosquito was evenly cut into two halves with a few ice crystals by Lin Zixian from the middle.
