Chapter Twenty-Six: Repeated Setbacks

There are only three or two candles in the Fengyi Palace, which are quite dim, the old people are not used to the light at night, Wan Hongyao is especially disliked, if there are no guests to visit, she can't wait to extinguish all the candles. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Although there was an assassination incident in the palace, which made her old man a little unhappy, she was still more relieved by Yan Feixue's arrival, there was almost no war between Yancang and Cang, and the two families were relatively harmonious, and over the years, the relationship between them has also become a lot closer.

Wan Hong Yaoan sat on the warm kang and said with a kind smile: "Feixue girl, the recipe you gave to the old body is too useful, in the past, the Yang family had to spend a lot of effort to go to the south to catch rare beasts, but now the old body's medicinal materials are inexhaustible, and the effect is better than those in the past, the old body has not thanked you well, this time I will live in the palace for a little longer." ā€

Yan Feixue said: "The spirit of the giant tree, the spirit of the West Sea itself has a long life, and taking its blood has the effect of washing the marrow and rejuvenating the face, and the ancestors' skills are extremely profound, of course, they get twice the result with half the effort." Feixue only did his best, but he didn't dare to ask for credit. ā€

Yang Xuerao on the side said gloomily: "It's just that these spirits are raised in captivity like cattle and sheep to extract blood, Xuerao always feels a little cruel, but instead uses the rare beasts caught before into medicine, which makes the family feel better." ā€

The old ancestor smiled when he heard this: "The left and right are just some beasts, Xue Rao, you are too sentimental." ā€

Yang Xuerao knew very well in her heart that the old ancestor would definitely not like it in her heart, she smiled helplessly and closed her mouth. Yan Feixue on the side took the opportunity to recommend a few more recipes for longevity, and immediately mentioned the interest of the ancestors, and in the face of these annoying chatter, Yang Xuerao's heart had already flown out of the palace.

There is a huge semi-artificial lake in front of the north garden of Xuanwu Gate, named Canghai. There are not only natural hot springs in the inside, but also the Yang family spends a lot of manpower and material resources to dig channels, introduce seawater, pavilions and pavilions on the lake, when the fog is filled, the smoke on the water is vast, and the buildings are hidden from time to time, as if they are a fairyland on earth.

After coming up from the secret passage, Situ Lei led the way, and Luo Cheng followed closely behind Yang Dingtian on his back, and to enter the harem, he had to cross the sea first, and the two of them now came to the edge of the lake.

Today's weather is good, and the sun is out during the day, so the starry sky at night is relatively brighter, and the line of sight can be seen farther away. Just as the two of them stepped onto the wooden bridge, Situ Lei clearly saw a dark shadow lying quietly on the side of the pavilion in front of him, motionless.

It's not yet late at night, it's not unusual for someone to move around in the harem, but it's very strange to lie on the ground, Situ Lei hurriedly beckoned Luo Cheng to stop, and the two quietly squatted down, and after discussion, Luo Cheng decided to use a trick to startle the snake, try the other party's movement first, and then make plans.

The two retreated to the bridge first, and Luo Cheng picked up a small pebble, controlled his true anger and threw it out.

"Boom, poof!"

The stone just hit the guardrail of the gazebo, and then fell into the water, as long as the person lying on the back was not asleep, he would definitely instinctively get up to check when he was frightened, but unfortunately the person still did not react.

There must be a demon when things are ordinary, Luo Cheng and Situ Lei glanced at each other, and their hearts were also nervous, but it definitely won't work to turn back, maybe it won't be long before the Praetorian Guards will find here, and Yang Xiaotian won't give up if he can't find the main master, the two have no choice but to move forward, Luo Cheng handed Yang Dingtian to Situ Lei, and opened the way in front of him.

Situ Lei followed behind, praying secretly in his heart, hoping that this black shadow was not the damn Xuanyue, now that the two sides are fighting, with Luo Cheng's current martial arts, he will definitely not be able to kill the other party in a short time, once the time drags on, it will be a big trouble.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and the hearts of the two of them were raised to their throats, and when there was still two zhang of distance left, Luo Cheng pulled out the breaking knife and jumped to the side of the black shadow, and after a closer look, he breathed a sigh of relief and made a safe gesture with Situ Lei.

Looking at the pretend, the black shadow lying on her stomach should be a palace maid, and she fainted here for some reason. To be safe, Luo Cheng turned her over, and now his heart suddenly rose to his throat, and the palace maid was already unrecognizable, and her whole body was dried up and turned into a dried corpse.

The feeling of danger flashed in his mind, and Luo Cheng didn't even think about it, leaving the corpse and rolling to the side.

A gust of air surged, and his eardrums were painful, and in Situ Lei's exclamation, Luo Cheng stabbed his backhand and slashed it back......

"Boom!"

collided vigorously, and a huge force knocked Luo Cheng to the ground and kept rolling, until Situ Lei stretched out a kick to block it, he stopped by the trend, he quickly got up like a carp, and waited for the battle.

......Luo Cheng, your kid is really responsive, and the master's conceited breath-holding kung fu is quite good, but I didn't expect to be avoided by you. ā€

Originally, a big hole had been broken in the place where Luo Cheng was standing, and the corpse had been smashed and half fell into the water, Xuan Yue stood on the edge of the mouth, **** her fingers, intoxicated, no matter how you look at it, she is not a normal person.

Luo Cheng didn't say a word, secretly accumulating true qi, hoping that he would rely on his courage to drag the other party later, now is not the time to fight for his life, when the emperor is settled, there is time to play slowly with Xuanyue. He glanced at Situ Lei, and suddenly exerted his strength, and pounced towards Xuanyue.

Halfway through the attack, Xuan Yue said, "You take a step forward, the young master is going to call for help, or kill the old guy first, let's have a good time?"

In this case, Xuan Yue was like a cat in the night playing with the mouse she caught, but Luo Cheng didn't eat this set at all, and the breaking knife rolled up countless knife qi, and swept towards the other party with a slashing head and covering his face.

The air suddenly became hot, and the air was relatively dry in winter, giving Xuan Yue the feeling of being in a desert, and the surrounding scenery suddenly disappeared, leaving only Luo Cheng's indomitable knife in his eyes.

The blood in his body burned like it was boiling, and his eyes should have become bloodshot and turned crimson, and the feeling of meeting an opponent in chess was so wonderful that Xuan Yue could hardly help himself. However, he calmed down in an instant, because Yan Feixue came, and he could feel it.

Now it is a last resort to venture out to forage for food, and if he does not stay in peak condition, he does not dare to guarantee that he can escape under Yan Feixue's soul locking technique.

In the blink of an eye, Xuan Yue took it to heart, he ignored Luo Cheng's blade, and slipped under the wooden bridge with a side flash.

"Not good!"

Luo Cheng hurriedly turned around, the other party obviously positioned Situ Lei as the target, and if he hesitated slightly, with the kung fu of the big thief, he might not be able to stop a single move.

Listening to the urging 'dong dong' sound under his feet, Situ Lei immediately shot out the flying swallow claws and headed towards Luo Cheng, who was rushing towards him.

After all, the experience of being a thief for many years saved the life of the thief at a critical moment, Luo Cheng took the flying claw, and with a pull, Situ Lei and the two arrived by his side in an instant, but the difference was just a fraction of a second, but Xuan Yue pounced again.

Now that the positions of the two sides have been reversed, it is undoubtedly beneficial to Luo Cheng's side, but Xuanyue is elusive, and it is impossible to guard against it, unless the big thief and Yang Dingtian can be tied to the belt of their trousers, otherwise crossing this lake will become a life of death.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and Xuan Yue would have an empty mind from time to time, his eyes were dull, and Luo Cheng didn't know if the other party was acting, so he didn't dare to act rashly, but time passed minute by minute, which was very unfavorable to both parties.

At this time, the water surface is not calm, the half of the corpse that fell just now seems to attract the covetousness of the animals in the water, and in the rolling waves, the corpses are competing for food, and the scene is very cruel. Luo Cheng looked at it and almost vomited, but the mermaid women in the water were one of them putting an eyeball in his mouth, and the intoxicated appearance made him feel creepy.

Finally there was a sound of dense footsteps, and it seemed that the Praetorian Guards had arrived, and the mermaid women seemed to be very frightened, and threw down the corpses that had not yet been eaten, and all of them dived into the water, and for a time they ran away without a trace, and the terrible skeleton sank with it. Xuan Yue took advantage of the two of them to let out a long howl, and then disappeared into the darkness.

"Damn, bad luck, run!"

Luo Cheng and the two of them didn't care so much, and ran to the harem with Yang Dingtian on their backs, and the Praetorian Guards behind them all chased after them when they heard the sound, shouting endlessly: "Catch the assassin, stop for Lao Tzu, the assassin ran in the direction of the harem......"

ran all the way, and finally came to the Daoge Palace, the two pushed the door in, and the house was unlocked, which seemed to be intentional by Yang Zhe. Looking around, the hall is spotless, it seems that there are often people who come to clean, Yang Zhe is really easy to introduce, and there is no secret passage here, I knew that I would take the risk of taking this old boy out of the palace, and there was a trace of bitterness in both of them.

In the dark, Luo Cheng put Yang Dingtian on the big bed, and the two sat down at the table to rest for a while.

Situ Lei frowned and said: "Luo Cheng, it's not a way to go on like this, we have exposed our whereabouts, and those dogs will have to search here sooner or later." Yang Xiaotian's old fox must still be stuck in the palace, if he smells it, we can explain it all!"

Luo Cheng said helplessly: "What good way can I do now, I can only pray that Yang Zhe's kid will come quickly, without his cover, we can't go anywhere, and if you want to fight a bloody way in the palace, it's not easy to talk about." ā€

"Alas......"

Situ Lei sighed, took out a pot of wine from his arms, drank it bitterly, and silently handed it to the other party......

The waiting time is undoubtedly the most tormenting, and the chaotic footsteps of the Praetorian Guards can be heard in the distance, fortunately, Luo Cheng and Situ Lei are both resolute, the two of them calmed down and did not go out to investigate, if they changed some new Ding, it was inevitable that they would be restless. This wait was half an hour, and when Yang Zhe quietly pushed the door in, Situ Lei felt like a year had passed.

After listening to the opinions of the two, Yang Zhe immediately decided: "Uncle already knows that something is going on in the harem and is coming." It seems that the palace can't stay any longer, the original plan is going to change, I will first let my cronies pretend to be assassins to lure them away, and you will sneak out of the palace at night, and my father will ask the two of you!"

"Okay!

Luo Cheng nodded, and then asked, "Although it is not in harmony, Luo still wants to ask His Highness, where are those tree elves being held now?"

Yang Zhe was obviously stunned when he heard this, and said: "Somewhere in the west of the palace, I don't know the specifics, these are all in charge of Aunt Mei, I only heard that it is near the imperial dining room!"

Luo Cheng was not satisfied with this answer, but he was a phoenix son and a dragon grandson, and he might not know about these trivial matters, and now that the situation was urgent, he couldn't ask any more, so he immediately clapped his hand and said: "Your Highness should arrange it quickly, we won't let you down!" During this time, Brother Lian Chu has to rely on His Royal Highness to take care of him!"

The three of them didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly set up Yang Dingtian to blend into the guards, and under Yang Zhe's mediation, Yang Xiaotian really fell into the plan, chasing the fake assassin towards the northernmost Xuanwu Gate.

Luo Cheng and the two successfully escaped from the harem, and just got off the wooden bridge after passing through the sea, Luo Cheng was shocked, and it was Yang Xuerao in front of him, the girl stood there alone, looking at herself with complicated eyes, as if there was a fierce struggle going on in her heart,

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Luo Cheng had to take Situ Lei forward and said with a hippie smile: "Miss Yang, you haven't slept so late, which lover are you thinking about?"
