Chapter 20: Infiltration
The location of the treasure appraisal meeting is in the Bailu Palace in the middle of White Deer City, which is the territory of the Yuan family, c In fact, this treasure appraisal meeting also participated in the organization, but they were only responsible for the venue and some defensive tasks.
The night was pitch black, and the moon in the sky was obscured by black clouds one after another, making it difficult to illuminate the moonlight.
At this time, outside the White Dew Palace,
Torch-wielding soldiers patrolled back and forth around the white stone walls, their footsteps neat and solemn, the bright armor emitting a subtle silver glow in the light of the fire, and even at night, the faces of the soldiers were still vigilant, holding the torch in one hand, and the other hand on the hilt of the long sword they wore at their waists, as if they might draw their swords at any moment.
Lu Yu, who was probing at a corner in the distance, retracted his gaze, and then slapped his hand and slapped three spells on himself in a row: stealth, closed, and through the wall!
Then he moved his footsteps and walked straight towards the White Dew Palace in front of him.
Facing the wall, he still didn't stop, and then he saw his hidden figure suddenly hazy and illusory, but in an instant, he appeared in the white stone wall!
After looking left and right at the surrounding grass-like scenery, Lu Yu did not hesitate and continued to walk towards the depths of the White Dew Palace.
Bailu Palace was built by Yanyun Yuan's family ten years ago, divided into the inner palace and the outer palace, the three major trading houses considered the safety and size of the venue, and set the location of the treasure appraisal meeting here, and tomorrow morning is the time to hold it, the three major trading houses would not think that someone would really fight their idea, it is impossible to wait until the opening to transport the treasure over, so Lu Yu is very sure, the treasure must be here.
Before he came, he had already understood the house layout of this Bailu Palace, and now it seems that although the outer palace is well defended, there are no masters, so there is only one possibility, the treasure is in the inner palace!
Sure enough,
When Lu Yu came to the outside of the inner palace wall, he found that the defense here was really stronger than the outer palace outside, and there were even two masters of divine cultivation at the gate of the inner palace who were closely monitoring the surroundings, and the patrolling soldiers did not leave the slightest gap, if it was an ordinary bandit, it would be impossible to walk here.
However, Lu Yu is not an ordinary bandit, there is such a thing as a charm, except for Taiping Dao, I am afraid that no other force knows too much, and Lu Yu can pass through the defense here without hindrance through the charm!
Shrouded the patrol team that walked on the side, Lu Yu hit the towering wall in front of him and officially came to the inner palace!
Compared with the huge outer palace, the building of the inner palace is very few, according to Lu Yu's understanding, there are only five attics and two main houses, he first came to one of the two main houses, and looked inside the hall, the lights were bright, the banquet was wide open, one after another maids and courtesans were busy inside, more than a dozen richly dressed people sat on both sides of the banquet, and the first old man in brocade robe said and laughed, his expression was relaxed, and he was so uncomfortable.
"Tomorrow there will be a time for you to cry," retracting his gaze, Lu Yu muttered,
Then he walked to another main house, and didn't find any special existence here, so he began to look for it along the road in the palace, an attic, two attics, and when he walked to the third attic, the conversation between the two gray-clothed guys passing by made Lu Yu settle his mind:
"In the middle of the night, what kind of feast did the master have, causing us to sleep badly, really. ”
"You haven't been here for long, I don't know, my lord has always liked to have a big feast in the middle of the night, alas, after a while you will get used to it. Don't complain, don't hurry up and deliver food with me. ”
"Alas, I have some regrets for coming here to be a house slave, and I collect people's faces all day long"
"Hmph, what can I do if I regret it, I signed the deed of sale, it's too late if you want to regret it, besides, at least you can eat here, and you're not afraid of starvation"
"I'm not hungry outside, the Taoist priests of Taiping Dao can always get things for those refugees to eat, my aunt, over eighty years old, is still alive and well."
Following the buttocks of the two little guys, Lu Yu found that the walking route of the two was not actually explored before, and the route to the remaining two attics, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised;
Puzzled in his heart, the three of them walked in this garden path, and finally came to a slightly quaint three-story attic.
The two servants stopped and were discussing who would go up to negotiate, but Lu Yu walked past their figures and walked towards the attic surrounded by a circle of soldiers in front of them.
When he got closer, he found that the surrounding area was airtight, and basically the soldiers were completely hand-in-hand and motionless here, which made Lu Yu a little speechless, and then paused for a while, and when one of the guys who seemed to be the leader stepped forward to negotiate with the food delivery boy, he quickly passed through the encirclement along the gap.
Then he didn't stop and crashed directly into the attic!
The attic was empty, and there was nothing to furnish except a staircase, and he could see the layout completely clearly after a cursory glance.
There's one person against the wall!
This person was dressed in yellow armor, with his hands on his chest, and his back against the black wall at the end, his face was ordinary, but his eyes emitted bursts of light purple light from time to time, and with the grass root in his mouth, it looked very evil.
And under his feet, under a seemingly normal floor, a strange aura was constantly transmitting to Lu Yu's heart, making him involuntarily pay attention there!
"Is the baby at his feet?"
This possibility flashed in his heart, Lu Yu couldn't help but come to this person, and after looking at it for a while, he didn't know what to do
This person gave Lu Yu a very strong feeling, it was a feeling that his cultivation was much higher than his own, it was basically hopeless to break through, and who knew if there were other masters around. Without breaking through, this guy stood there motionless, and it was impossible for Lu Yu to use the wall piercing charm to pass through the floor under his feet, which was likely to be a secret passage
After thinking about it,
He suddenly turned around and walked back to the outside of the attic.
Looking at the circle of soldiers with their backs to them, his hidden right hand took out two strange rune papers with yellow and slightly black from his arms, and after observing several people in a row, he set his eyes on a guy with a fierce face.
Holding the rune paper in his hand, after Lu Yu walked to this person's side, he was about to slap the two rune papers on him, but he suddenly retracted his hand, and his face was embarrassed.
He suddenly thought that if he slapped the rune paper on him, wouldn't it leave a clue, after the rune paper released the power contained inside, it would not dissipate at all, if he did this, although he could attract the attention of the people inside, but it would also leave a hidden danger for the future, you know, the use of rune paper in Kyushu is now only one Taiping Dao
"What should I do?"
Embarrassed, he turned around in place a few times, and Lu Yu couldn't help but focus on the torch inserted in the attic behind him
