The lights are lit by candlelight, and the books are fragrant.

A cup of hot tea, a book, and a leisurely reading to the sound of cicadas.

The dancing flames of the candlelight reflected Lin Xi's side face, pulling his shadow in the room.

Everything seemed so peaceful and peaceful.

Suddenly, there was a brief and rapid knock on the door, which directly broke the silence.

"Don't you know that you should ask for permission to enter the master's room?" Lin Xi put down the book in his hand and said to Meng Qi and Ruan Yushu helplessly.

Meng Qi pursed his lips and pushed Ruan Yushu forward, suddenly causing a roll of his eyes, but as if he hadn't seen it, he said to himself: "Tonight, we are going to explore the imperial city, figure out the surrounding arrangements, and prepare for tomorrow's actions." ”

Lin Xi's eyelids jumped, and he swept past Ruan Yushu and said to Meng Qi: "Why? Don't you understand the sword drawing style? This is a sword move at the level of the Law Body, which can kill the Immortal God." ”

"Is one night enough?"

"With your qualifications, it's not enough. Lin Xi replied seriously.

Meng Qi's face suddenly turned green, and he pointed at him for a long time without holding back his words, but Ruan Yushu burst out laughing.

"Alright, no kidding. Lin Xi smiled, picked up the folding fan on the table, got up and said, "Since you are going to investigate, let's set off early, otherwise you will change your night clothes in vain." ”

After Lin Xi changed into night clothes, the three of them sneaked out of the post house again and headed towards the imperial city, high and low, wandering along the shadows, and after a while, they had reached the periphery of the imperial city.

The three of them hid in the canopy of a tall tree and looked out over the imperial city.

Suddenly, Meng Qi frowned.

A hundred meters around the imperial city is a square made of white stones, without a single tree, frank and clear!

And the walls of the imperial city are brightly lit, illuminating the square as if it were daylight, not to mention a big living person, even if it is a mouse and a bird, as long as they jump across the square, they will also be seen by the guards on the city wall.

It's hard to sneak in......

Meng Qi took Lin Xi and Ruan Yushu around the imperial city almost once, and found that there were three steps and one guard on the city wall, all of which were good hands with quick skills and keen eyes.

Outside the wall, the square is 100 meters wide, and there is no place to hide or hide, and it is impossible to cross the wall three or four feet high with the help of trees.

Sure enough, it is an experienced court to deal with the masters of the rivers and lakes...... Such an arrangement made Meng Qi feel like a mouse pulling a turtle and having nowhere to eat, and couldn't help but look at the leisurely Lin Xi for help.

He believed that Lin Xi must have a way.

However, the result was a big disappointment for him, Lin Xi only looked around, and didn't pay attention to his request for help, even if he spoke directly, he was blocked back by the words 'I don't know'.

Suddenly, Meng Qi exploded.

"How can you not do it, hurry!" he urged directly, "Aren't you my thug?

What Lin Xi said to the Demon Queen was directly applied, shameless or something, he didn't care at all.

It's a pity......

Lin Xi's face was extremely thick-skinned, and he looked like he didn't understand, so he was speechless at once, so he had to go back in disgrace.

Following.

Meng Qi, who was depressed, went to see Lu Guan early, and after getting the answer, he returned and greeted Lin Xi and Ruan Yushu, and then left the post station.

He informed Lin Xi and Ruan Yushu of his plan, hoping to get a little opinion, but unfortunately the two of them didn't seem to hear anything, just silently waiting for the arrival of the demon queen.

At the end of the day, when the sun was blazing, the demon queen appeared in front of the three of them: "Three of you, come with me." ”

Lin Xi nodded slightly, half a step behind, and followed behind Meng Qi, like an entourage.

Ruan Yushu was simply, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he felt that it was quite interesting, so he also learned to look half a step behind and set off Meng Qi.

Meng Qi: ......

In this regard, he is not easy to say, not to mention that this kind of pretending is really in line with his heart.

In a courtyard facing the street, the demon queen took Lin Xi and the three of them to push open the door of the wing.

"Your Excellency. The people in the room quickly got up, their expressions of awe and respect to the point of reverence.

As soon as he saw him, Lin Xi understood the Demon Queen's plan to infiltrate.

Because this is a middle-aged eunuch, judging from the costume, it should be a eunuch of not low rank, it seems that it is a secret chess piece arranged by the Demon Gate many years ago, and it finally comes in handy today.

The imperial city is indeed impregnable, but who can grasp the hearts of the people?

The Demon Queen nodded reservedly: "This matter is dangerous, what other wishes do you have to fulfill?"

This kind of thing, once discovered, the Demon Queen, Lin Xi and others can still rely on their martial arts to escape, or even kill back, and this eunuch will have no luck!

The middle-aged eunuch said excitedly: "My subordinates are willing to go to the soup for the revival of the Holy Gate, and they will not hesitate to do so!"

"Okay, very good, now that this is the case, you will go back to the door and take on the heavy responsibility. "The Demon Queen is not a leader who learns martial arts and learns to be stupid, so she naturally knows how to give encouragement and win people's hearts.

She turned her head to look at Lin Xi and the others and introduced: "Yu Tongen, the eunuch in charge of purchasing." ”

Nodding and greeting each other, the demon queen said concisely: "After entering the palace, wait for the night to fall and the palace door is locked, I will go directly to the Qinzheng Palace to raid Wang Derang and entangle him." The rest will be left to the three. ”

"I need Ouchi's defense arrangement and patrol roadmap. Meng Qi said.

Yu Tongen didn't say much, and directly took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Meng Qi: "Burn them after reading." ”

After that, Meng Qi and Ruan Yushu worked together to study the defense layout and patrol roadmap, and discussed the matter of infiltration.

And Lin Xi was closing his eyes on the side, occasionally looking at the carefully prepared demon queen.

When it was time to Shen, the sun was gradually setting in the west, and Yu Tongen got up and said, "I have to buy it and return to the palace, please do it." ”

He took Lin Xi and the others through a secret passage to the warehouse in the next yard, where there were pigs, cows, sheep, melons, fruits and vegetables and other things. A total of nine carts were loaded.

"The belly of the pig and the belly of the cow have been emptied, you can hide in it, remember to breathe lightly. Yu Tongen admonished.

Lin Xi frowned slightly, he didn't like this kind of hiding very much, especially in that bloody belly.

After glancing at Meng Qi and Ruan Yushu, he said slowly: "I won't hide in, just follow you." ”

Yu Tongen looked a little unhappy, and said in a deep voice: "The palace gate is strictly guarded, and the people who enter and leave are registered, even if one of them is replaced, it will be discovered." ”

"No, if they can spot me, it's worth looking at them. Lin Xi shook the folding fan and smiled confidently.

Then, Yu Tongen and Ruan Yushu were shocked to see his figure, which slowly became transparent until it completely disappeared from the eyes of the two.

"This, this ......" Yu Tongen was extremely shocked, and his body trembled.

In feudal society, the theory of ghosts and gods was particularly prominent, and the people in the palace were even more so.

Fuss......

Meng Qi pursed his lips speechlessly, and went directly into the fasting, and suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe, and he hurriedly started the fetal breathing work, and then relaxed.

After Ruan Yushu was also hidden, Yu Tongen summoned the little eunuchs in the courtyard outside, put on their horses, and drove the vehicle back to the palace.

Except for the two people hiding in the car, only Yu Tongen knew that he was followed by an invisible person, and if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that someone had such ability.

The carriage was bumpy and the roads were not very good.

Thinking about comparing the suffering Meng Qi and Ruan Yushu, Lin Xi can be described as extremely leisurely, like a rich boy who plays.

After a long time, the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, and a guard smiled and said, "Father-in-law Yu, it's another bumper harvest." ”

Yu Tongen smiled sharply in his voice: "You have worked hard during this time, so our family naturally has to prepare meat and vegetables for you." ”

"Thank you, Father-in-law. The palace gate guard stepped forward, picked up melons, fruits and vegetables at will, and poked cattle, sheep and pigs.

Just as their hands were getting closer and closer to the pig and cow where Meng Qi and they were hiding, Yu Tongen leaned over and laughed in a low voice: "Our family has delayed our work by listening to the play, and we are afraid of being scolded by General Manager Wang, so we also ask a few noble hands to let our family catch up with the hour." ”

He quietly stuffed a bag of silver to a few guards.

"Father-in-law, you have always been a fan of drama, I don't know which famous character you have taken a fancy to?"

Yu Tongen echoed and smiled: "Let's go back and talk about it." ”

The carriage restarted, passed through the deep doorway, and entered the palace.

Even after entering the palace gate, it was still far from the destination, and Lin Xi followed everyone to make many turns and finally arrived at the warehouse of the imperial dining room.

At this time, Yu Tongen said in a loud voice: "It's dark, you guys go to dinner, and find some rough people to come and move the goods." ”

The rough envoy is the lowest level of the eunuch system in this world, and can only do manual work.

"Thank you, Husband Yu!" The little eunuchs under him were elated one by one, feeling that Father-in-law Yu was too kind to himself and others!

When they left, Yu Tongen coughed lightly a few times and let out a secret signal, and Lin Xi's figure was revealed again.

Meanwhile.

One by one, the silk threads cracked, and Meng Qi and the others got out and hid in the depths of the warehouse.

Meng Qi, who had seen the light of day again, smelled his own blood, and then looked at Ruan Yushu and Lin Xi, who were still dusty in white skirts and white shirts, and couldn't help but feel a wave of guilt in his heart.

After the rough envoys unloaded the goods, Yu Tongen sent them away, took Lin Xi and the others out of the warehouse, and hid them in the imperial dining room.

At this time, night fell, dinner had passed, and the imperial dining room was steaming all the time. Pastries that keep the temperature at bay, and a few people who watch the fire, and no one else, are very suitable for hiding.

Several people hid on the beam, and the scent of pastry penetrated into their nostrils.

Ruan Yushu looked intently at the steamer and the pastries that didn't need to be kept warm, and muttered to himself:

"Pea yellow, lotus seed cake, water chestnut cake, sesame roll, bean paste roll. Jade bean cake, osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cake ......"

Lin Xi listened to her grunt as she swallowed her saliva, and said with a smile: "What did you think about what I said?"

Meng Qi was curious: "What words?"

"Adults, children, don't interfere. ”

"There is a sword in the piano. ”

The two of them said almost in unison, which suddenly provoked Meng Qi to burst into a meaningful laugh, and Ruan Yushu's ears were a little red because of this.

Lin Xi didn't care about this, to be honest, he was also a little greedy, raised his hand and pinched it, and directly rolled up some pastries and distributed them to a few people.

"Just after dinner, no one will want to eat a snack for a while, and by the time anyone notices, we have already confirmed the situation and left the palace. He said with a smile as he ate.

Even if someone finds out, they will first suspect that the eunuch or the rough envoy is stealing food. When I find out, the time has long passed.

At this time, a white shadow swept in and landed on the beam, it was the Demon Queen.

When she arrived, she nodded at the three of them, and then began to close her eyes and wait for the night to deepen.

After more than half an hour, Yu Tongen gave a secret signal outside, and the four of them left the imperial dining room and found him in the corner of the garden.

After handing Lin Xi and the others three sets of guard uniforms and flying claw ropes, he turned around and left directly, and no one spoke during the whole process.

"Half an hour later, this seat will start, can you reach the Taiji Palace?" asked the demon queen as usual.

It's not that she doesn't trust the strength of Lin Xi and the others, but that there are many masters in the Taiji Palace, and if there is no movement in the Qinzheng Palace, it will be extremely difficult for the Demon Queen to ask herself if she wants to sneak in, so the timing must be right.

Lin Xi chuckled: "Is it difficult?"

The demon queen was stunned, and after thinking of Lin Xi's way of entering the palace, she became silent.

She didn't say much, her steps didn't go fast or slow, her back swaying, it seemed to be melting into the darkness little by little, and soon disappeared.

Lin Xi and the three of them glanced at each other, did not communicate, and set off according to the direction and route discussed before.

The timing along the way is right, and you can always cross the corridor and the doorway between the two groups of guards, when the eyes of the roof guards are shifting.

In a short time, the three of them were only one hall away from the Taiji Palace, but the guards here became more and more dense, several teams of guards patrolled back and forth, and there was almost no time and place for blank sight, and the hiding pavilion was quite far away from the palace, and it was impossible to force it to rely on light skills to flash over.

For a while, Meng Qi was in a dilemma.

It would be fine if it was just him, but now that there is one more Ruan Yushu, he can't use the Illusion Dafa to hide her.

So I had to look at Lin Xi for help.

I don't ask him to bring people over, I just hope to temporarily strengthen my mental strength.

Troublesome...... Lin Xi was speechless.

He didn't say much, raised his hand and grabbed Meng Qi and Ruan Yushu's shoulders, teleported over the roof, and hid on the wall near the Taiji Hall.

There is a guard every dozen paces outside the Taiji Hall, and there are several people on the roof, all of whom are masters with bulging temples.

The sky was beautiful, the cold moon was dim, and the night was deep, Lin Xi and the three of them hid on the wall, quietly waiting for the change in the direction of the Qinzheng Palace.

Time goes by little by little.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the Qinzheng Palace, as if the roof had collapsed, the beams and pillars had collapsed, and then, a dull sound of bang broke out, like two palm winds pushed by strong internal forces colliding together.

Even in the dark, the three of them could see the window paper of the Qinzheng Hall flying and the candlelight flickering.

Such a big movement was naturally sensed by the guards guarding the Taiji Palace, they raised their swords and held their swords, slightly nervous and vigilant, many people were about to rush to the Qinzheng Hall to help, and the scene was suddenly a little chaotic.

"Stop!"

Just as Meng Qi was about to beckon Lin Xi and Ruan Yushu to take the opportunity to sneak into the Taiji Palace, the leader of the guards let out a loud shout and stopped the spontaneous impulse of the guards.
