Chapter 39: Robbery of the Imperial Palace
The emperor secretly left the palace yesterday and didn't know where he went. The eldest prince Zhu Qing felt that now was a great time for him to be calm and commanded, so he hurried out to look in the direction of the explosion and fire. The fifth prince Zhu Bo also put down the pill bottle containing the earthen elixir and hurriedly ran outside the door with the eldest prince.
Two palace maids who were left in the room fell silently to the ground. A small eunuch who had no idea where he came out appeared in the eldest prince's bedroom. He reached out and picked up the fifth prince's bottle of Diyuan Dan that had not yet taken it, and then flashed and disappeared.
"It's so easy!" Tang Xiao was so excited that he sweared. He thought that after the explosion outside, the fifth prince would put the earthen pill into the storage gourd when he left, but he didn't expect that he was so careless and put it on the table.
Outside the auction house during the day, after teasing the carriage with Princess Yitai, Tang Xiao did not really leave the carriage. He used a trick to Princess Yitai and hid back on the carriage, and sneaked into the palace with the convoy. After entering the palace, Tang Xiao changed into a set of eunuch's clothes from the storage gourd, and waited until it was dark before sneaking out.
Originally, Tang Xiao didn't have much hope of stealing the Earth Yuan Dan, and he never thought that he would succeed so easily.
After listening to the fire report for a while, the eldest prince felt that the situation was not very serious, so he showed his ability to keep his command in the face of danger and walked back to the bedroom with the fifth prince.
Once back to the bedroom, I found two palace maids lying on the ground and were knocked out by someone. The eldest prince screamed, and hurriedly looked at the earthen elixir bottle on the table.
It's gone!
It's over, I'm hit by the thief's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
The alarm sounded again. After the eldest prince Zhu Qing rushed out of the door of the bedroom, he immediately threw the earth element magic weapon in his hand high, illuminating the entire Qingtian Palace as if it were daytime.
"There are assassins!!"
A large number of imperial guards and soldiers appeared in the palace in groups and began to search everywhere.
Other hidden masters in the palace also used their true energy to activate the huge divine pearl hanging from the high place of the palace, illuminating the entire palace like daytime. At the same time, they also used their spiritual sense to search the figures of assassins around the palace.
However, Tang Xiao's skill is low, and now he is only a second-level warrior of the human Yuan level, and he cannot reach the eyes of those masters at all. However, the palace as bright as the day and the large number of armored soldiers pouring out makes Tang Xiao a little difficult to move forward now.
As the alarm sounded, the imperial guards outside the palace also entered the palace to assist in the search of the assassins. The four gates of the Forbidden City were closed, and even a sparrow was not allowed to fly out.
Tang Xiao was reckless, conceited, arrogant, and self-righteous in his previous life. He had another problem of self-righteousness. For the sake of a Earth Yuan Dan, he dared to break into the palace at night and easily put himself in danger or even desperate situations. It has to be said that Tang Xiao was too arrogant and looked down on the strength of Daming Chao's palace too much.
But now is not the time to reflect. Tang Xiao, with the instinct of a killer in his previous life, dodged left and right and finally found a dark place right in front of him, so he rushed over there.
This place is so dark! It's like a wall, and the light of the Shenming Bead above the head cannot be shining in at all.
As soon as he came into contact with the darkness, Tang Xiao felt a powerful force pushing him outward, which surprised him. Could it be... a ban?
Tang Xiao guessed correctly that this darkness was indeed a ban. It was set up by Zi Yue Zhenren in the palace when the Forbidden City was built. He set up the formation nodes with talismans and marked his own spiritual consciousness, and surrounded the emperor's bedroom, leaving only a secret door to avoid the invasion of the assassin.
Now, the emperor Zhu Xi will regularly move these formation nodes based on the formation map left by Ziyue Zhenren, and adjust the direction of the secret door opening. When he left the palace today, in order to avoid accidents, he drove out all the people inside and completely blocked the secret door.
Warriors with a peak cultivation level at the Tianyuan level should not pass through this restriction. Moreover, once a strong man above the Tianyuan level approaches Taijing City, he will immediately be felt by the strong man stationed in Taijing City and the Forbidden City in advance, and then he will be bombarded to death with the Shenming Cannon.
The net of sky is vast and the Forbidden City is very cautious, but the only one who is not defended is Tang Xiao, the brave young master of the Tang Mansion of Zhenguo Hou Tang.
Just as Tang Xiao was blocked by the ban and was about to retreat and find another way out, several teams of soldiers who were searching for the imperial guards surrounded him. Tang Xiao gritted his teeth and squeezed into the darkness ahead.
At this moment, Tang Xiao seemed to be trapped in an extremely viscous liquid. Every time he went further, the counter-pressure force caused to him was a little heavier. Tang Xiao felt that his face was about to be crushed and his blood vessels were about to burst, but at least his body had completely hidden in this darkness.
The three imperial guards outside had all rushed over and began to set up defenses outside the emperor's bedroom. Tang Xiao obviously had no way out.
In order to avoid being bounced out by this powerful resistance, Tang Xiao tried to squeeze forward a few more steps, and each step was difficult, and every step was a kind of pain that the soul was about to be torn apart. The soul was torn apart, which was a thousand times more painful than nerve pain. That kind of pain was really not something that ordinary people could bear.
Tang Xiao gritted his teeth and took another step forward. Unexpectedly, his whole body suddenly felt relaxed. He was so confused that he forced his way through the ban under Ziyue Zhenren!
You must know that only when the soul's tenacity reaches the peak of the Tianyuan level or above can it be possible to pass through this restriction, but Tang Xiao actually squeezed in so hard!
"A fifteen-year-old boy can actually forcibly cross the ban set by Ziyue. This kid's talent is indeed extraordinary!" A human-shaped black shadow in the sky sighed, and then the human-shaped black shadow plunged into the dark ban. For this human-shaped black shadow, Ziyue's ban was completely useless.
This human-shaped black shadow is Zhengshizu who broke through the Tianji Cave on Qixing Cliff. He came here tonight just to help Tiangangxing survive this fateful disaster and protect Tiangangxing from death, so as to continue the Yanhuang Heavenly Dao that has been passed down for thousands of years.
No one can discover the existence of Zhengshizu. As one of the nine guardians of Yan Huang Tiandao, for ordinary mortals, he is already a god-level existence beyond the god level.
However, unless it is absolutely necessary, Zhengshizu will not take action easily.
The emperor's bedroom was empty and dark. Tang Xiao was wondering where he had come. After carefully searching the memories in his mind and reasoning, he quickly realized that this was the emperor's bedroom!
Rub rub rub rub!!
Is the emperor dead? Why is there no movement here?
Great! If this is really the emperor's bedroom, then isn't there any good things?
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s steal the more than 200 Lei Zhenzi first.
After lit the palace lanterns, exploring around, and confirming that there was indeed no one in the emperor's bedroom, Tang Xiao let go of his hands and feet and started rummaging around.
Tang Xiao really found a lot of good things, such as swords, jades, towers, etc., but Tang Xiao didn't know the goods. He just looked at the golden light and felt that the valuable things were collected. Soon his storage gourds were filled. As a last resort, Tang Xiao had to take out a lot of the stuff he had put in and put them back in place.
Zhengshizu, who was following Tang Xiao, wanted to hit the wall with his head. Who is this? Is there a shortage of money in the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion? How can it be useful and useless and steal everything?
Finally, when Tang Xiao tried to steal a candelabra made of pure gold diamonds in the emperor's bedroom, he accidentally triggered a switch. There was a rumbling sound under the dragon bed in the room. The dragon bed and the huge rock floor were slowly moved away, and a secret passage appeared in the original position of the dragon bed.
Tang Xiao threw down some things and found no mechanism, so he walked down carefully with the palace lantern.
The secret passage leads to a secret room deep underground. When entering the secret room, searching all the way. Tang Xiao found many unknown treasures. There was a storage gourd that was filled with more than 200 thunder Zhenzis that were transferred from the Imperial Army warehouse!
After seeing these things, Tang Xiao suddenly found that the swords, jades, towers and the like he picked up on the ground were simply garbage, so he threw them all out.
Chapter completed!
