304, Xixia Palace
This is the Xixia Imperial Palace that is heavily guarded, but Murong Fu carries Child Elder on his back and goes in and out as if there is no one around.
After Helian Tieshu was killed by Qiao Feng disguised as Murong Fu, Xixia Yipintang fell into internal divisions. In addition to Li Yanzong, there were five generals in charge of the five forces.
Li Qiu Shui took care of the harem and never managed the officers and generals under her. This time she transferred a large number of first-class masters, so the palace was empty. Even the guards patrolling the palace were reduced by 80 to 90%. Occasionally, there were only a few guards patrolling.
However, they were all people with low offensive power.
"It seems that Li Qiushui has put a lot of effort into catching Child Elder, and has ignored this lair."
Murong Fu had been to the Western Xia Palace, but his familiarity with it was far less than that of Tong Lao. He asked Tong Lao for instructions, and immediately he carried her into the small alley. There were high walls on both sides of the small alley, which was actually a bridge between the two palaces.
There was a gap. Passing through this narrow passage, I crouched for a moment among the peonies, waiting for the eight imperial guards to pass by, and passed through a large rockery.
This rockery winds to the north, stretching for fifty or sixty feet, but there is a large stone house at the end.
Murong Fu took a deep breath and opened the thick stone door. This door was so thick that it required at least four or five first-rate masters to exert force at the same time to open it.
There was another door immediately after the door, and a burst of cold air seeped out from the door. Murong Fu patted the inner door, but there was a thin layer of white frost on the door.
Murong Fu stretched out his hand and pushed, and the door slowly opened. It was only opened just a few feet, and then a gust of cold air rushed towards him.
Pushing the door open and going in, I saw that the inside was filled with sacks of rice and wheat. It was as high as the roof. It looked like a granary, with a narrow passage left on the left.
Until this point, Child Elder breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Close the door. We have entered the icehouse, it seems everything is fine!"
As soon as Murong Fu closed the two doors, the warehouse was completely dark, and he couldn't see his fingers. Murong Fu groped his way in from the left, and as he went inside, the colder air grew stronger. He stretched out his left hand and encountered a cold, hard, wet area.
The object is a large piece of solid ice.
Suddenly, there was a "crash" sound, and the child's mother had already lit up the fire. A strange scene appeared in front of Murong Fu's eyes. He saw a large block of ice in front, back, left and right, a large block of ice cut squarely, and the fire was shining.
The flickering light shines on the ice, turning green and blue, which is very magical.
Even though they were far away, Murong Fu felt the cold air penetrated his bones, and he hurriedly gathered up a layer of zhenqi to protect his body against the cold air.
Child Lao suffered internal injuries before, but even today, her internal strength recovery is not as good as Murong Fu's. But she doesn't know what kind of unique internal strength she has that can protect herself.
"Let's go down to the end." Child Elder held on to the ice and jumped step by step between the big ice blocks. The ice cave got deeper and deeper, but there was a big hole at the bottom.
Murong Fu followed him and passed through the cave, but there was a row of stone steps. After the stone steps, there was another large room of ice.
Child Elder said: "This icehouse probably has one more layer."
Sure enough, there was another big stone room under the second floor, which was also full of ice cubes. On the third floor, Child Elder turned off the fire and sat down: "We have gone deep into the third floor underground, and that bitch is still ghostly.
Even if you are fine, you may not be able to find grandma."
She said with a long sigh. Although her face seemed very calm in the past few days, she was really anxious in her heart. There were so many experts in the Xixia Kingdom, and they had to go deep into the inner courtyard of the palace to avoid the eyes and ears of all the experts. Half of them had to be alert and cautious.
, but half of it depends on luck; until now, I can feel a little relieved.
At first Murong Fu felt strange why the Xixia Palace would hide these ice cubes in the deep palace cellar.
Then I remembered that this worthless piece of ice would become very valuable in the hot summer.
In the hottest summer of Western Xia, when the sun is like a fire steaming and charcoal is baking, and everyone is sweating like pulp, these ice cubes are worth thousands of gold. But only the Western Xia royal family can possess so many ice cubes.
Child Elder nodded and said: "Being an emperor is also about enjoying blessings. It's just that you enjoy too many blessings in this life. Once the blessings are exhausted, the next life may not be good."
She sat cross-legged on the ice, closed her eyes and meditated, and said slowly: "Li Qiu Shui followed Yuan Hao and gave birth to several sons. Although his son Li Liangzuo was the emperor, he was controlled by the old witch in everything. What this emperor did was interesting.
?”
Murong Fu nodded. The Xixia Kingdom was in a special situation. Li Yuanhao found such a monster princess. He survived three generations of emperors and still dominated the rear, becoming the true uncrowned king of the Xixia Kingdom.
Although Li Qiushui does not have a strong sense of power, he does not allow others to question his decisions. However, Li Qiushui's political knowledge is completely inversely proportional to her martial arts. It is better that she does not go to court. Once she goes to court, the ministers of Xixia Kingdom should
I have a headache.
In order to bring bad luck to Li Qiushui, Child Elder came to the Xixia Palace more than once, so she knew the Xixia Palace very well.
Murong Fu thought for a moment and was about to seal the icehouse door when he suddenly heard Child Elder: "What are you thinking about?"
Child Elder pointed at those sacks and said with a smile: "Do you think those sacks are filled with food? They are all cotton, so that the heat from outside will not come in and melt the ice. Hehe, do you want to eat cotton?"
Murong Fu was a little embarrassed, but he took it for granted. Child Elder chose this place as a hiding place, but she had carefully considered it.
There are naturally no shortage of live chickens and ducks in the Xixia royal kitchen. How could he be noticed if he stole three or two of them every day?
In the past few days in the ice cave, Murong Fu caught live animals for Child Elder. The blood of the crane was more alive than other wild animals. Child Elder drank it and smiled happily. Murong Fu himself also silently practiced the Beiming Divine Art.
, trying to detoxify the toxins in the body.
However, after practicing for several days, little effect was achieved. On this day, Murong Fu was just thinking about it. Child Elder suddenly said: "If you practice like this, you won't be able to recover your skills even if it takes years of monkeys and horses and months."
Murong Fu was stunned, he didn't expect that this child's eyesight was so good. She has been practicing martial arts for nearly a hundred years, so her rich experience in this world should not be underestimated.
It would take several months for Murong Fu to dissolve the toxins in his body just by refining them slowly by himself. They were hiding in the ice cave of the Xixia Palace. Although they said they were safe for the time being, they could not guarantee it. Who knew?
Then when will Li Qiushui turn back?
The sooner you recover your skills, the sooner you will be safe.
"Grandma, I'm telling you the truth...I followed my master's orders and went to Xingxiu Sea to eradicate the evil thief Ding Chunqiu...but I accidentally fell into his poison..."
After hearing this, Child Elder said disdainfully: "To put it nicely, it's not because you are greedy for other people's skills...otherwise why would you be like this!"
Murong Fu smiled coquettishly, "Grandma is talking about... I wonder how this junior should behave now?"
Child Elder smiled and said: "The scripture says: Asking for anything is suffering, but not asking for anything is happiness. You want to dissolve the toxin, but it is very difficult. But what if you turn it into a part of your own inner strength?"
"Into the body?" Murong Fu was stunned, thought for a while, and then asked, "The poison is incompatible with me, how can it be compatible with me?"
Child Elder said with a look of disdain: "Wu Yazi taught you Beiming's magical skill. The so-called Beiming is the vastness of the sea, all-encompassing, and all-inclusive. How can it be difficult for Beiming to be possessed by a mere toxin?"
