This night in King Xu's capital is destined to be a sleepless night.

The turmoil began two days ago, when someone in the royal capital revealed that Princess Changming's mansion was hiding Jingguo's spies, and several witnesses testified that Jingguo people often came and went in and out of the palace, and there were even military generals in civilian clothes. The rumors soon spread all over the royal capital, and some people even linked this matter to the treason case of the third major general of Zhenguo, and the more they talked about it, the more mysterious it became.

Seeing that the rumors were out of control, this afternoon, the Criminal Department finally sent someone to investigate. Unexpectedly, before they got close to the princess's mansion, they heard someone shouting that the princess's mansion was on fire.

The fire in the Princess's Mansion was very strange, it came in a hurry, the momentum was fierce, and the scope was large; even though there was no wind, the fire burned down and down the Princess's Mansion within two quarters of an hour, and more than 100 people, including Princess Changming, were not spared. It wasn't until it was dark that the fire brigade completely extinguished the fire, and at the same time found several bodies dead from stab wounds in the house, proving that it was a vicious murder and arson.

However, wave after wave of unsettled waves, some people claimed that Jingguo spies infiltrated the palace of King Xu. For a while, rumors circulated in the royal capital that the Xu royal family and Jing Guo colluded with each other to betray the country, which made people panic.

At the time of the curfew, there was a sudden explosion of fireworks over the palace, the palace gate opened, and a large army composed of the royal capital defenders and the military generals of the major generals' palaces rushed into the palace and killed the palace guards by surprise. And the people who lead it are none other than Su Liuye and Su Rongyu, the little young master of the Zhenguo Mansion!

Under the name of "Qing Jun's side", this large army quickly took control of the palace with the internal information obtained from the previous investigation, arrested Queen Huang's henchmen, and scattered to all parts of the palace to search for Jingguo's spies.

"Report to Sixth Master Su, the four palace gates have been completely controlled!"

"Report to the sixth master of Su, all the queen's henchmen have been arrested!"

"Report to Sixth Master Su, no suspicious characters have been found in the front court!"

"Report to Sixth Master Su, there are signs of invasion in King Xu's bedroom, King Xu's whereabouts are unknown, and Lord Sun is questioning the eunuchs in the palace. ”

"Report to Sixth Master Su, no suspicious characters have been found in the Imperial Garden, and Lord Zhang has sent additional people to search the harem. ”

Su Liuye was sitting on a black high-headed horse at this time, listening to his subordinates' reports with a serious expression. Su Rongyu rode a horse and stood beside him, also looking focused.

Su Liuye is the youngest male of Zhen Guogong's generation and the only surviving brother of Zhen Guogong. It was precisely because he was injured on the battlefield of Dongyi and retreated to the rear that Rong'er took the initiative to ask Ying to fill the void in the army, so he loved this niece very much.

This time on the side of the Qing monarch, in fact, it was also a rescue operation for Rong'er, he was not allowed to lead the team into the palace, and the disabled Zhenguo Gong sat in the rear, set up a Hongmen banquet, and stared at the Huang forces that were about to move.

When Su Rongyu saw that someone came to mention the harem, he couldn't help but ride his horse to Su Liuye's side and whispered: "Sixth uncle, why don't I also take someone to the harem to search." I want to pick up the fifth sister. ”

Su Liuye glanced at him, and secretly laughed that this child had admired his cousin since he was a child, but now it was his first time participating in military activities, and it was an excellent apprenticeship opportunity, which could not be wasted, so he refused: "You are a man of the Su family, just watch with me here." When will you be able to ride a horse and lead the troops like your eldest brother Longyi, so as to support our Zhenguo Mansion. ”

Su Rongyu's face flushed, and he couldn't help but look at the deep palace that was brightly illuminated by the firelight, and guessed where Long Yicheng was leading the team in the palace now.

Ten days ago, Long Yicheng and Xin Rujun, who had been announced by King Xu, suddenly appeared in the Zhenguo Mansion and brought many shocking information, including Jingguo's collusion with the Huang family, and Su Rongrong's rescue plan.

Su Rongyu did not participate in the core of the plan because of his young age, but he also knew that it was a bold plan to involve the loyal ministers and veterans of the entire Xu Wangdu. Although the name of the plan is on the side of the Qing monarch, the action is quite risky, and it is really a success.

And the implementation process of this plan allowed the powerful ministers and veterans in the royal capital to truly see the strength of the third major general of Zhenguo, and the ingenuity of Xin Rujun and Long Yicheng's action were impressive, which was also the reason for the large number of people responding to the plan.

In order not to startle the snake, neither of them made their identities public. The leader on the bright side tonight is Su Liuye, but the one who actually led the team to control the palace was Long Yicheng who covered his head with armor, and the one who sneaked into the palace to get rid of the guards and open the palace door was a man surnamed Lu brought by Long Yicheng.

Long Yicheng and the man were both extraordinary, so they were able to successfully raid in just half an hour, but Su Rongyu was still nervous.

He heard that Jingguo's spy had brought an immortal cultivator in the foundation building period, and that person had powerful magical powers, and against these mortals, he would be killed or injured at every turn.

For Su Rongyu, although Long Yicheng has not been in the royal capital for many years, he has always admired him for charging into battle and making repeated achievements, plus he was the fiancé of the fifth sister, so he was a little closer to him, so he naturally didn't want him to be injured.

Su Rongyu glanced at Su Liuye, who had a serious face, and then looked at the depths of the palace, and suddenly became angry.

The country of Xu is just a mortal country, if there is a war or a coup, it is all a mortal business, when they are desperate, why should they tremble and worry about the sneak attack of the immortal cultivators? Obviously, the foundation has already been built, isn't it good to hurry up and go to the realm of cultivating immortals to cultivate, what are you mixing here!

But he thought about it, Long Yicheng and Fifth Sister are also immortal cultivators, although they are mainly martial arts, but their military exploits have so far, most of them have also taken advantage of immortal cultivators. What if the fifth sister also wants to leave Xu Guo to cultivate immortals?

Su Rongyu suddenly fell into endless chagrin.

At the east gate of King Xu's Palace, Long Yicheng was also unhappy.

According to Xin Rujun's plan, Lu Bo relied on his ability to be a killer, sneaking into the palace as early as daytime in the carriage entering the palace, and opening the palace gate from the inside at night, and he was good at leading the troops, which was suitable for leading the team to quickly control the palace.

However, why should the work of the velvet girl be handed over to Lu Bo?

Regardless of the fact that he was the assassin who killed them, but for some reason he got together with the Velvet girl, saying that he was a killer who was not related to him, but he wanted to participate in the political struggle plans of other countries, this alone was very ill-intentioned! If it weren't for the rescue plan that required extremely strong combat effectiveness, Xin Rujun would not have agreed to let him join. However, how can such an important link as taking the velvet girl out of the harem be handed over to him!

Although Long Yicheng also understood in his heart that this was because he was going to lead a team to inspect the situation at the palace gate, and he couldn't get out, so he arranged it like this, but in his heart he felt very unhappy.

Long Yicheng anxiously tugged at the reins of the horse, ordered a team to watch the palace gate, and beckoned the others to follow him to the next palace gate to inspect. He raised his head again and glared in the direction of the harem, and couldn't help but slander in his heart, blaming the velvet girl for wanting to enter the palace, stupid to death!

At this time, Lu Bo was looking at Xinrong Courtyard and was secretly frightened.

This small courtyard, which was previously under house arrest, is now littered with corpses.

The palace maids and eunuchs in a courtyard were all stopped and hacked to death, and the wounds were hideous, the blood flowed nonstop, and they could not coagulate.

Lu Bo is a physical cultivator, and he has also come into contact with some low-level cultivators when he was doing assassination missions in the past, so he can recognize that there is a faint layer of aura near their wounds, and it is obvious that they were hacked to death by someone with a sword and gun conjured by a spell.

Xu Guo was not suitable for cultivation, so there were very few immortal cultivators, and almost the moment he saw the wound, he remembered the sharp-faced man beside Huang Shangshu.

Fortunately, there was no Su Rongrong among these corpses.

Lu Bo spread his divine sense and scanned the surroundings, there was no longer the breath of a living person, it seemed that she was not nearby.

The sharp-faced man is in the middle of the foundation building.

And Su Rongrong, when he was separated from him, he didn't even have a cultivation during the Qi cultivation period.

Lu Bo's eyes gradually became cold, he judged the scope of the harem, and left quickly.

Unlike the turbulent Xu Palace, Wantenggou at this time was very calm.

Su Rongrong cultivated all night, inhaled a lot of pure spiritual energy, and added that she had been eating spiritual food every day since the day she came back from the princess's mansion, and finally rose to the ninth level in the early morning, breaking through to the middle stage of qi training.

She relieved herself, and lay down on the rock, feeling like her whole body was going to fall apart.

Although she broke through the small realm because of the game system in her hands, she did not discharge a large number of stains as written in the novel, resulting in a dirty smell all over her body, but the pain of dilating her muscles and veins was still inevitable.

Entering the middle stage of Qi training, the amount of spiritual energy needed for advancement is more, and it is impossible to upgrade it for a while, so Su Rongrong stopped cultivating, and planned to find a way to send a letter to Lord Mujun after resting for a while.

Qi Yuanming's face suddenly appeared in her field of vision, and he came over to offer the treasure with a wild fruit full of arms, just like she had done at the end of her cultivation last time.

Su Rongrong looked at him, feeling that he didn't seem to be as depressed as before, so he took a fruit and took a bite of it, and asked, "My cultivation is over." When are we going to go out?"

Qi Yuanming also took a fruit and nibbled on it, sat on the stone and replied: "It is estimated that it is the end of the year now, and it is not yet dawn, so I will go out again if I stay longer." ”

Su Rongrong thought of the proud but frank face of Lord Mujun, and her eyes sparkled when she talked about gossip, and she didn't know how she would respond to emergencies, so she couldn't help but be a little worried.

So she ate the fruit in her hand in three or two bites, jumped off the big stone, and said, "Let's go out now, I'll go back to Xinrong Courtyard to write a letter to her, and trouble you to find someone to send it to her." The stakes are high, and it's always good to be prepared early. ”

Qi Yuanming turned his head, avoided her gaze, responded with a smile and said "yes", then jumped off the stone and grabbed her wrist.

Su Rongrong didn't know if it was his own delusion, his hands seemed to be particularly cold.

But before she could think too much, the scenery around her quickly changed, and in the blink of an eye, she returned to the cold palace and stood in the place before they entered the Wanteng Valley.

Su Rongrong looked left and right, and sighed: "Sure enough, where it disappears, it appears there, which is the correct way to open it." As she spoke, she walked out of the cold palace.

However, as soon as she looked up, she saw that the harem was in flames, and the screams of the palace maids and eunuchs filled her ears.
