Chapter two hundred and fortieth dark night wonders
w "Just the two of you are going?" Rou Ji said worriedly, "Is that possible? The Eighth Prince's residence tonight is probably going to be a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, and it's very heavily guarded!"
"Don't worry, we are not going to assassinate the Eighth Prince."
Qingji turned her attention to the other core figures of the Holy Clan who participated in this incident: "You all go on your own and take action. Please note that although the capital area has always been the prince's sphere of influence, now the Eighth Prince's power is at its peak and can be seen everywhere.
He is a spy, so everyone has to be careful in their actions and try not to let them see the identity of our holy clan, do you understand?"
Everyone nodded to express their understanding, and then several people discussed some details together, and then dispersed to deal with related matters separately.
After the Eighth Prince entered the capital, he rushed to the palace that night to see his father who was seriously ill. However, he was blocked from the Taiji Gate of the palace by the eunuch in charge, saying that the emperor had just taken medicine and went to bed.
He made a statement early the next day and came to visit again.
The eighth prince had no choice but to return to his palace in Prince Ying. On the eve of the storm, for the safety of the eighth prince, Qin Baiyu left Tie Heng, Lu Zhan, General Wu and several other masters of Huajin realm in Prince Ying's residence.
It is their duty to protect the safety of the Eighth Prince.
In the dead of night, Lu Zhan carefully inspected the palace and returned to the guest room provided for him by the eighth prince. This gorgeously decorated guest room was very close to the palace where the eighth prince rested.
Qin Baiyu set up three tight lines of defense around the eighth prince's palace. The innermost line of defense was led by the royal guards led by Tie Heng. The second line of defense was commanded and deployed by Qin Baiyu himself, and the outermost line was led by Lu Zhan,
General Wu and several other generals in the Huajin realm who were in charge of the palace were in charge.
Lu Zhan sat cross-legged on the bed in the guest room. He first took out a small porcelain bottle, poured out a third-level elixir "Zhenyuan Dan" from it and stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it. The third-level elixir "Zhenyuan Dan"
It was indeed very effective when he first entered the realm of transformation. Taking one pill would provide enough training energy to last for half a month.
However, this third-level elixir is an extremely rare thing in the world. This elixir can only be produced in a limited time and on a small scale by the Royal Alchemy Factory, so no matter how powerful and wealthy you are, you may not be able to buy a few.
After Lu Zhan successfully captured the "Floating Fairy Island", the Emperor of Chu rewarded him with twelve pieces at once. In addition to what he got from Qi Lingkong, the royal family also gave him a monthly salary as an earl.
One pill is barely enough for him to take.
During his previous attack on the Sui Empire's palace, he was besieged by several powerful warriors from the Sui Kingdom who were guarding the palace. These powerful warriors were all loyal personal bodyguards trained by the Sui Emperor. They each had their own weapons.
He had many third-level elixirs given by Emperor Sui. In that battle, Lu Zhan killed two of them and seriously injured one, and obtained a total of thirty third-level elixirs from them.
So he has now increased the amount of True Yuan Pills he takes. From two pills per month to three pills per month. Because he has the combination of the "Mysterious Crystal Space", "Bronze Fragment" and "Ten Thousand Transformations Lotus" and other exotic treasures in his body.
With the effect of the third-level elixir, he could clearly feel that his martial arts achievements were still advancing rapidly, and he was not far from the peak of energy at this moment.
He lay crosswise on the bed, and his qi circulated in his veins for a whole day, completely absorbing and dispersing the power of the third-level elixir.
Suddenly, he felt a slight noise coming from the ground under the bed, so he sat up and jumped out of bed, leaned down and put his ear to the ground to listen carefully.
There was a faint "buzzing" sound coming from under the ground. The sound was very soft. If his five senses were not so sharp as ordinary people, he would not have been able to detect this slight movement.
What is moving deep in the earth?
Lu Zhan listened attentively for a while, then stood up; with a flash of his body, he flew from the window to the middle of the yard. He walked back and forth for more than ten steps in the yard, calculated the direction, and gathered the energy in his body to
On top of his right fist, he said "Hey" and punched the ground under his feet with all his strength.
A muffled sound of "bang" was heard.
The floor tiles around his right fist cracked in a spider web shape. Then the ground sank downwards, revealing a deep, dark hole.
Lu Zhan jumped down from the cave. With his martial arts training, he was now able to use night vision, so the dark shadows in the cave were nothing to him.
As soon as his figure fell into the hole, he felt an abnormal qi force below him continuously fluctuating, so he quickly released the qi force in his body, forming a thick protective shield on the soles of his feet.
As soon as this Qi machine protective shield was arranged, I felt a strong Qi machine energy crash into the protective shield, and there was actually a strong man from the Huajin realm launching an attack below.
However, the attack was easily deflected by the Qi protective shield set up by Lu Zhan. Obviously, the martial arts skills of the people below were inferior to Lu Zhan.
In fact, looking at the entire Great Chu Empire, how many people can compete with Lu Zhan? After careful calculation, I am afraid that there is only one national master who is stationed in Tianjiyuan.
Lu Zhan dropped about seven to eight feet before he successfully landed on the ground. He saw an underground corridor more than six feet high appeared in front of him, and at the other end of the corridor, a black shadow was escaping along the corridor into the distance.
"Where to escape!" Lu Zhan shouted softly, ducked into the corridor nimbly, and chased after the black figure.
The black figure escaping in front looked very short, and its body moved very dexterously in the corridor.
Lu Zhan was relatively tall, so he seemed a little uncomfortable moving in such a low corridor, and he couldn't fly with air at all here. Seeing that he would be unable to catch up with the opponent, he used his backhand to use "Jingyun"
"Sweep the stun gun" and emit several bursts of lightning in a "chi" sound.
The dazzling electric light illuminated the dark corridor. The black figure running in front was not prepared for the enemy to release the electric light from a long distance. He was suddenly shocked and screamed "Ouch" and turned his head.
.
With the bright electric light, Lu Zhan could clearly see that the man's face was covered with tattoos. He was a short, middle-aged man.
He was about to release a few more beams of lightning to completely subdue the man, when he suddenly heard a graceful female voice coming from the corridor in front of him: "Go on!" Then he saw a white thing flying towards him.
Lu Zhan didn't dare to easily catch the object that was coming at high speed, so he quickly set up a Qi shield to block him. After the flying object hit the Qi shield, it landed lightly on the ground. Lu Zhan lowered his head.
When I looked at it, I saw that it was a snow-white ball of paper.
He leaned over and wrapped the paper ball with his Qi machine. He was just about to continue chasing forward when he suddenly heard a muffled sound in the corridor. The ground under his feet also shook for a while. The corridor in front of him collapsed and there was no way out.
Chased.
He had no choice but to exit the corridor and jumped back to the ground. Since the corridor below was very deep, it did not disturb the people in the palace on the ground. The courtyard where he was was still very quiet, with only the cold night breeze of early spring gently blowing by.
.But no one else came after hearing the news.
Lu Zhan stood under the moonlight, unfolded the paper ball in his hand and saw a line of beautiful small words written on the paper ball: "Tonight someone will assassinate the Eighth Prince, beware of those around him!"
Strangely, the person digging the tunnel does not seem to be hostile. What does this piece of paper mean? Is it a special warning to him? Why do you do this? I don’t know if the other party is an enemy or a friend. If it is a friendly army, why?
Reluctant to show up easily?
Lu Zhan was filled with doubts. He remembered the woman's soft scolding from the end of the corridor just now. It felt like he had seen her before. But he couldn't remember who the woman was for the moment.
No matter how doubtful he was, he thought it would be better to go to the young master to explain the matter before making any further calculations.
Lu Zhan Yuqi flew up, and within a few leaps, he had already flown outside the eighth prince's palace. Just as he was about to land in a courtyard below, he heard Qin Baiyu shouting on the ground: "Who is it?"
"It's me, Lu Zhan." Lu Zhan replied, secretly wondering how Qin Baiyu found him so quickly. After all, his martial arts training was getting deeper and deeper, and his air-control flying skills were so fast that it was extremely difficult for other people to transform into him.
The powerful person in Jin Realm discovered it all at once.
At this time, his eyes fell on the sky above the palace. He saw a blood-red spike suspended in the air every three to five feet. Twenty-four spikes surrounded the palace in a circle, and between each spike
There are several long white rays of light connecting each other.
He remembered that Qin Baiyu's gold-painted folding fan contained these blood-red spikes, which were his most advantageous pseudo-spiritual weapons.
It turns out that these twenty-four blood-colored spikes actually set up a warning array in the sky above the palace. Once anyone approaches the edge of this warning array, Qin Baiyu will notice it.
Lu Zhan fell in the courtyard. Qin Baiyu came out from the darkness and asked him strangely: "Why did Lord Lu fly here? Is there something big happening outside?"
"I would like to come and see His Highness. Is he okay now?" Lu Zhan asked.
"His Royal Highness the Prince of England has just discussed the layout of the capital in the past few days in the study. Now he has returned to the palace and is preparing to have a rest? Lord Lu, why do you ask like this?"
"Little Imperial Master, take a look at this." Lu Zhan handed him the note in his hand and briefly told the strange thing that happened in the dark night.
Qin Baiyu's face became extremely solemn after reading the note, "Someone can actually dig a tunnel into the British Prince's Palace? This person is really sharp."
"How did this person manage to dig such a long underground tunnel and yet the movement was so light that it was not noticed by many Huajing Realm beings in the palace?" Lu Zhan also felt strange.
"Perhaps he has a special weapon for digging underground tunnels." The knowledgeable Qin Baiyu speculated: "Maybe there are some evil beasts or even desolate beasts growing underground to help him dig. According to rumors,
There is indeed a strange person who knows the stunt of walking underground. Fortunately, this person has no ill intentions towards us. Otherwise, as long as we find the correct location, pile fire and thunder bombs underground, and create a powerful explosion, His Highness the Eighth Prince will
It’s possible…”
"So," Lu Zhan pointed to the note in Qin Baiyu's hand, "the things written on this note are probably true?"
"Yes, does the sentence 'Beware of those around you' remind us that there are spies around the Eighth Prince?" Qin Baiyu whispered to himself.
Lu Zhan nodded and asked, "Who is around His Highness now?"
"General Tie is guarding outside His Highness's palace at the moment," Qin Baiyu said, "Besides that, there is Eunuch Xiang, the personal eunuch who has been brought in with His Highness since he was a child."
"General Tie followed the Eighth Prince in the north and south. His loyalty and bravery are a lesson. He has already started assassinating the Eighth Prince, so he cannot be such a spy." Lu Zhan analyzed: "But is this Eunuch Xiang reliable?" Welcome to your visit.
