In the evening, all the guests entered the palace in turn, and after several days of careful arrangement by the palace people, the imperial garden at this moment has long been arranged into a huge banquet venue, and the people who have just entered the palace can't help but praise it.

After several twists and turns, when the emperor and the representatives of the Nine Holy Lands took the table in turn, the nobles sat down, and Liu Chen and the others heard the call of the palace people, and the emperor let the students of the academy sit down.

Today's Liu Chen, wearing a brand-new black gown, the whole body is meticulously cared for, swaggering, the young man is like a leisurely stroll, his posture is extraordinary, the dazzling short hair does not make his temperament discount much, those ladies and ladies are all bright, with autumn waves in their eyes exclaiming: "What a beautiful son!"

"Wu Tong didn't come?" came to the corner and sat down, Liu Chen turned his head to the little monk with excited eyes and asked, "It shouldn't be!"

"People are the princes of the world, of course sit at the front!" The little monk pouted, raised his hand and pointed to the area closest to the emperor, Liu Chen raised his eyes and saw that Wu Tong was sitting next to Wei Guogong, not knowing what he was laughing at.

"Your Majesty has a decree: the Shangyuan banquet begins! All the distinguished guests drink together!" Not long after, an older chamberlain appeared on the high platform where the emperor was located, and raised his voice to announce the decree, and the sharp voice was heard in the ears, which made people feel uncomfortable, and everyone in the audience did not dare to show anything.

After getting up to toast, Liu Chen sat down lazily, but today he looked a little uneasy, his eyes kept scanning the surrounding scenes, looking at what he was observing from time to time, and his face was not fortunate enough to participate in the joy of the Shangyuan banquet.

The singing and dancing in the center of the venue has long attracted everyone's attention, even the little monk is squinting slightly, and his hands can't help beating with the sound of the piano.

However, Liu Chen didn't have the heart to laugh, and when half an hour later, the banquet entered the climax, Liu Chen forcibly suppressed the tension in his heart, slowly stood up, lightened his steps, and quietly moved outside.

Sneakily ran out of the imperial garden, those hustle and bustle had long been left behind, leaning on the half-moon arch, Liu Chen closed his eyes slightly, constantly panting, trying to calm his mind.

"Sir!"

"Who!" A call suddenly sounded in his ears, so frightened that Liu Chen hurriedly opened his eyes, looking at the person who came with vigilance, the right hand hidden under the robe had already grasped the hilt of the Qiushui Sword, which made the atmosphere here suppressed to the peak.

"Sir, don't panic!" It was a sergeant of Jin Wuwei, who was responsible for patrolling the palace and was the emperor's imperial guard, only to see him arch his hands and look at Liu Chen with a smile, and the beautifully crafted armor was rattling with his movements.

"There may be snow tonight, didn't you bring an umbrella?"

Liu Chen breathed a long sigh of relief, but the shock in his heart couldn't be described in words, what kind of situation is this, it turned out to be the emperor's imperial guard who connected with him!!What is the identity of the man in black, and what is the identity of this imperial guard and that street vendor?

"I didn't bring an umbrella, I brought a knife!" Trying to calm himself down, Liu Chen smiled slightly, and arched his hand towards the man, the two smiled at each other, and the moment they staggered their bodies, a sheepskin scroll fell into Liu Chen's sleeve.

It was a map, a detailed map of the palace defense, and the map also indicated what Liu Chen needed to bring out this time, and it would be a capital crime to get this map, Liu Chen smiled bitterly, and kept leaving here, following the guidance of the map, slowly moving forward, and approaching the imperial study step by step.

It didn't take long for Liu Chen to come to a large hall under the cover of night, and hid in the corner safely, he took out the map and looked at it himself, "That's right, this is the imperial study, if Chang'an is the heart of Kyushu, then the imperial study is the heart of Chang'an, every day, countless secret policies, all issued from here, even the prince, without permission, is not allowed to set foot here half a step!"

If you retreat here, with the power and means of the man in black, you will definitely die, if you don't retreat, if the east window incident happens, you will still be a capital crime, and you will die horizontally, you will be here, it is better to go in and have a look.

Subconsciously, as a Xia person, he was afraid that the man in black would be better than the emperor, Liu Chen himself didn't realize it, and people wouldn't have noticed the current situation in Great Xia, the huge empire that had been beaten by wind and rain for thousands of years, at this time, it was already full of holes.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that there was no movement in the imperial study, Liu Chen's heart became more and more nervous, his eyes kept looking in the direction of the southeast corner of the palace, according to what the vendor said, someone should cooperate with him at this time.

"It's water!" Suddenly, a sharp sound came into Liu Chen's ears, and a group of hurried palace maids kept beating drums and gongs, and ran towards the distance in a panic, and a burst of smoke had risen on the corner tower in the southeast.

From the imperial study, several palace maids also ran out, each describing panic, and did not notice Liu Chen, who had been lurking in the shadows.

"Hehe! These people are just terrible, but I like it!" Liu Chen raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, smiled excitedly, and took the map into his arms, after taking a few deep breaths, he stood up, covered his face with a face towel, and reached out and gently pushed open the door of the imperial study.

It's just that he didn't notice that after he entered the main hall, a tall figure suddenly appeared where he had been hiding before.

At this moment, the palace has already turned the sky upside down, the emperor Shangyuan banquet guests, someone actually set fire to the palace, whether intentional or unintentional, this is a slap in the face of the emperor, Langyawei and Jin Wuwei have all been dispatched, for a while, people everywhere are panicking.

"Who!" Just when Liu Chen was rummaging through the cabinets in the main hall and finally found a bag from the compartment behind the column, a slight trembling sound appeared behind him, this time, Liu Chen's mind was blank, he unconsciously stopped the movement in his hand, and hurriedly took the bag into his arms, and then slowly got up and turned around full of struggle.

The tall body hiding in the shadows was standing on the beam at the top of the main hall, quietly looking at the pair of young men and girls facing each other below.

Originally, Liu Chen thought it was a little palace maid and was about to turn around and kill, but as soon as he turned around, he saw the frightened look on the face of Emperor Ji Gongsun You. Di Ji was a little scared, her body couldn't help but start to tremble, and her pretty little face was already covered with cold sweat.

"Is it General Liu?" Although Liu Chen was masked, his short hair was too eye-catching, seeing that he was not moving, Emperor Ji took a few steps back, and couldn't help but ask softly: "What is General Liu doing here?" Obviously, she didn't know that there was a compartment in this imperial study, and she didn't see Liu Chen take the bag and put it in her arms, Liu Chen's appearance made her brain a little short for a while.

"I'm sorry!" Liu Chen exhaled heavily, twisted his eyebrows and slowly pulled out the long sword at his waist, looked at the girl in front of him with complicated eyes and said, "I don't want to kill you, but I don't want to die either!"

Looking at the young man approaching step by step with a sword, Di Ji's heart was full of fear, and she unconsciously took a few steps back, and was mixed by the steps, and then sat down on the ground, and the sword was already close at hand.
