Chapter 34: The Imperial City Revitalizes the Prestige of the Country-34

The guards looked at Bai Yu in his night clothes by the faint candlelight of the lantern, and the leading guards shouted: "Catch the thieves!"

Bai Yu didn't hesitate, he ran wildly and rushed to the corner in one go. By the faint candlelight behind him, Bai Yu saw Wu Nai stretching out his hand, he took two steps up the wall and grabbed it, Wu Nai pulled harder, and the two of them successfully crossed the wall in an instant.

Wu Nai only heard the loud shouting from the wall behind him: "I've already let one go! Don't let these two go again! Hurry up and ring the alarm to inform the whole city!" Then suddenly a loud gong sounded.

Wu Nai was overjoyed after hearing this, okay! Bully Shuang seems to have successfully escaped back! There is really her! Now as long as Xiaobai and I also escape back, everything will be fine!

So under the leadership of Wu Nai, the two ran all the way to the original road, but they heard dense gongs starting to sound everywhere. The quiet Imperial City began to become noisy, and shouts of "Catch the thief, Catch the thief!" and the sound of footsteps could be heard everywhere.

The two hid all the way to Tibet, but found that there were more and more guards, and this time it was really a big trouble. The guards were different from before, this time carefully searching every inch of the place. Carrying spears and torches, they carried out a carpet search throughout the city, and walked all the way with spears piercing the flower beds, which also broke Wu Nai's desire to hide in the grass.

The two of them were unable to return the way they came, and in the darkness they used the light of the torches as a signal to evade, so they could only run around to avoid searching.

Eventually, in a place with a low city wall, they were caught in an alley by several teams of people who happened to be searching back and forth, and there were people searching everywhere, so the teams approached the alley in unison.

Seeing that the guards were about to surround them, and when the two of them were about to be discovered, Bai Yu saw that the wall of this courtyard was the same as that of the envoy's mansion, and it was not very high, so he climbed over the wall in a hurry, and then stretched out his hand and said to Wu Nai: "Brother, come and hide first!"

Wu Nai shook his head and said, "Xiao Bai! If you go in, you will be dead! They can't let go of any place!" Bai Yu looked at the dense firelight that was approaching them around the wall, and hurriedly said: "We have no way out now! Brother! Let's go in first!

Wu Nai sighed, grabbed Bai Yu's hand, and climbed into the wall. The two fell off the wall and fell into the grass. Just as the two of them crossed the wall, the guards arrived, and after a little steady, the two were discovered.

The guards immediately surrounded the place, and their bands gathered together and began to discuss. Wu Naifu didn't dare to move in the grass, and he just heard the conversation outside clearly.

"Did you find anything?"

"Not yet! What about you? Have you searched them all?"

"I've searched it, everyone in the palace I passed by has asked, no one has looked for it, and there is no ghost!"

"Search here, too?"

"Come on! This is the Shangwu Palace! You dare to go in and search for it? Don't forget, this is a forbidden place in the palace! You will lose your head if you trespass! You know?"

"Of course I know, but I'm afraid that the thieves will hide in it, and if the thieves are let go, who will be responsible?"

"Alright, alright, don't argue. In my opinion, the Shangwu Hall is not too big, let the brothers surround this place first, and don't even let a mouse run out. I'll go and report to Father-in-law Huaide now, and ask him to ask the Holy One what he means, what do you think?"

"Okay! Do it! You go quickly, and we'll take care of the rest!"

After hearing this, Wu Nai was secretly surprised in his heart. It turned out that this was the Shangwu Palace! The prime minister, Lu Yunhe, had warned himself not to step into the Shangwu Hall for half a step, otherwise he would be beheaded. I just didn't pay attention and flipped in.,I regret it.,It's really over this time.。 Wu sighed patiently in patience, but now that the wood is complete, he has to take one step.

Wu Nai quietly tugged at the corner of Bai Yuyi's clothes, then pointed to the main hall and whispered: "It's not safe to stay in the courtyard, it's better for us to go in and have a look first, maybe it's more convenient for us to hide inside." ”

Bai Yu nodded, and followed Wu Nai to the window in front of the hall silently, the chaotic footsteps outside the wall made the two a little nervous, they quietly lifted the window and quickly climbed into the hall.

When Wu Nai came in, he found that it was just an empty room, and there were two hideous-looking statues of generals in the middle, which looked particularly strange in the silent room.

It's eerily quiet here.

It was so noisy outside, but the moment I entered the house and closed the copper window, it became as if I was isolated from the world.

Between the statues was a long underground corridor, and the two looked down and found that there was still a light at the end. The two looked at each other and wondered for a moment, always feeling that everything here seemed too abnormal. But they didn't have a choice, it was so empty, the guards could catch them as soon as they broke in. There is no way out, even if it is the underworld, the two of them must also explore.

They followed the light and began to walk cautiously inside.

It looked a little dark at first, but the air was not humid, and even Wu Naineng could smell a faint smell of sandalwood, and the floor was a little slippery.

The two of them stood in front of the door of the main hall and saw a bronze door, through which the candlelight came in the distance.

Under the fluctuating candlelight, Wu Nai followed the light and looked up, and he suddenly saw a fierce-looking man-eating tiger! Wu Nai was so frightened that he jumped back and almost screamed, but when he looked closely, it turned out to be a carving on the door.

Wu Nai breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down, he put his ear close to the door wall and listened carefully to the movement in the room. It's also unusually quiet inside.

"What is this...... Bai Yu was still staring at the strange tiger, but in the sound of a gentle bearing, the door opened.

Wu Nai scratched his head embarrassedly: "I just want to put my ears close to listen to the sound, so I ......"

Bai Yu nodded with a pout, didn't say anything, but his eyes were still glancing at the door.

"Since the doors are open, then we won't lose if we don't go in~" Wu Nai pretended to be relaxed and stepped into the underground room in one step. There was a pause again.

"Brother?"

Bai Yu also followed Wu Nai to the room, and was also deeply attracted by all this.

The gods and Buddhas on the whole wall, in the tens of thousands of candles, frolicking and dancing, indulging in the flying.

Wu Nai rubbed his eyes and took a closer look, it turned out that there was some special pigment used in this wall, which made the people in these murals seem to be flickering in the flickering candle flames.

Bai Yu pulled Wu Nai's placket: "Brother, there are so many tablets here, it's very strange, why are there so many tablets enshrined in the secret room of the forbidden place of the palace?"

Wu Nai withdrew his gaze from the mural and looked around. It is a rectangular room lined with countless tablets.

And at the end of the room, the main seat in the center, is dedicated to a three-person tall statue of a pure gold martial god. This martial god was dressed in armor and held a long sword, and his long beard stood like a needle, making people look straight hair. If there are thieves who stumble in by mistake, relying on this mighty statue, they can be scared and flee.

He put his eyes back on the closer tablet, the surname Lao, the surname Ma, the surname Li, and even the surname Yelu of the ethnic minority...... Today, the surname of Zike is "Bo", why are so many foreigners worshipped in this mysterious ancestral hall?

On the tribute table in front of the idol, there was another thing that caught Wu Nai's attention, it was a long dragon pattern silk cloth, which seemed to cover something enshrined in front of the idol. Wu Nai thought, using such a fine filament to cover up, this is probably an unusually valuable sacrificial vessel.

Bai Yu suddenly said, "Brother, is this a Martial God Statue?"

Wu Nai replied: "Exactly. ”

After hearing this, Bai Yu stepped forward in two steps, knelt on his knees, and respectfully bowed three times to the statue of the martial god.

After all, Wu Tianming, who was respected as the god of martial arts by later generations, was also the ancestor who passed down the horse sword stunt "Seven-foot Length" to future generations, even if he didn't take advantage of this to avoid it today, Bai Yu would have to worship when he saw it.

Wu Nai also walked forward respectfully, his face was serious, he knelt down solemnly, and bowed three times. Bai Yu was very respectful to the statue of the martial god, and it was understandable that he kowtowed three times in a row, and the strange thing was that Wu Nai actually made three kowtows, and he was extremely solemn and serious.

The two of them also bowed to the tablets on the left and right, and then continued to observe the sacrificial hall.

Bai Yu looked at the tablets again and whispered: "Lao Youlu, Ma Hai, Li Furui...... This...... Brother, isn't this a royal ancestral hall, how can it be enshrined with different surnames......"

Wu Nai nodded, and also said suspiciously: "Exactly, the Son of Heaven is the surname 'Bo', but all the people enshrined here are foreign surnames, which is really strange." But Xiaobai, you are a little wrong, this is definitely not the royal ancestral hall, Xiaobai, think about it, how can the right position of the royal ancestral hall be dedicated to the martial god Wu Tianming? ”

Bai Yu nodded after listening: "That's right...... So according to my brother, who are these tablets?"

Wu Nai thought about it for a while and said, "I'm not sure if it's some heroes who have contributed to our Daxuan, right?" or...... Forget it, let's not think about it yet, we should think about hiding there for now. ”

Bai Yu nodded, and continued to carefully observe the sacrificial hall to see if there was anything to hide.

After a glance, there was only a long table for fruit offerings and offerings, except for the statue seat and tablet tablet, and there was not even a tablecloth on the table that could be covered.

Wu Nai sighed again and again: "Alas...... Although it is splendidly cultivated here, there is not even a place to hide. Alas, although this dragon-patterned gold silk cloth is long enough, it is still enough to use it as a tablecloth!"

With that, Wu Nai pulled away the long dragon pattern silk cloth on the table.

The moment they pulled away, Bai Yu and Wu Nai were dumbfounded.
