With the map in his hand, Bai Qingzhou rested all the way, running alone on the official road and galloping towards the capital.
The idea of going to the capital came to him immediately after reading the county annals of Buning County.
He found that the records of the Monster Forest in the county annals were not clear, and the description only said that there were many strange and strange beasts here, which were extremely ferocious.
There are very few descriptions of the origin, birth, and origin of monsters, but after Bai Qingzhou's observation, he found that county annals often mentioned Wenyuan Pavilion in the capital.
It is said that Wenyuan Pavilion contains all the books in the world, including all the classics in the world, containing all aspects of worldly affairs, and the origin of the Monster Forest must also be recorded.
So after Bai Qingzhou walked out of the Yamen, he went straight to the capital.
Buning Town is not far from the capital, and it only takes more than ten days based on horseback riding calculations.
But for Bai Qingzhou's unusual physical fitness, coupled with his ability to see at night, his speed can be much faster.
In the end, it took Bai Qingzhou less than ten days to reach the capital. If it weren't for the fact that the horses couldn't bear it, he would have been faster.
After easily sneaking into the capital and finding a place to sell horses at a low price, Bai Qingzhou found an inn to stay.
...
In Tonggui Inn.
Bai Qingzhou sat in the tub, leaning on the edge of the tub, with his head held back, eyes closed, enjoying this rare rest.
This was the first time he took a serious bath since he came to this secret realm.
He has been running around these days, and his body is extremely tired and needs a good rest.
"Let's go find out the news tomorrow..." Bai Qingzhou thought to himself.
He did not intend to force his way in and search like he did in Buning County. As far as he knew, the capital was usually heavily guarded, and if there was chaos, many soldiers would definitely come to encircle and suppress it.
Although his current strength is not afraid of some ordinary mortals at all, if the mortals keep coming, he will definitely be beaten to exhaustion, and there is no flying magic weapon to control now. If he is exhausted, he will most likely be arrested.
.
It would be too dangerous to break in and make a big fuss, so he decided to keep a low profile.
"Tomorrow, let's find out where Wenyuan Pavilion is, and then see if we can sneak in..."
Bai Qingzhou murmured to himself.
Having made the decision, he quickly got up, wiped his body, and lay on the bed in plain clothes. Within a moment, he fell into a deep sleep.
...
In the next few days, Bai Qingzhou began to inquire about news in the city.
Wenyuan Pavilion is indeed a world-famous library pavilion. Its location is very easy to find out. After a simple inquiry, you can know the specific location.
But it is very unfortunate that Wenyuan Pavilion is located deep in the palace. It is said that it is very close to the emperor's palace, which is convenient for the emperor to go in and check books from time to time.
After learning the news, Bai Qingzhou had a headache. After all, the emperor's palace must be the most heavily guarded place, which greatly increased the difficulty of secret infiltration.
In a teahouse in Beijing.
Bai Qingzhou sat at a square table in the lobby. There were several dishes on the table. He picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Hey! Did you hear that? Last night, Lao Niu Er stabbed Zhang Laosan to death on Xishui Street! People came from the Yamen early this morning and took that Lao Niu Er away!"
"Ha! Of course I've heard about it, but let me tell you, this guy deserves to die well! If you steal a wife, you have to be prepared to be stabbed to death!"
"Hey...brothers, why are you talking about these trivial matters? Let's talk about Prince Ning. Didn't he rebel? Where did he go?"
"Who knows, but it is said that it is still outside the pass! Don't worry, General Guan Wu is so fierce, he will definitely not let that bullshit King Ning come in!"
"That's right! There's no need to worry..."
"Yes, let's talk about that beauty. It seems like yesterday
At night, a young man gave out ten thousand taels of silver to redeem the top card of Manchun Yuan..."
"..."
There was a mix of people in the teahouse, and a lot of news was spread casually, talking and laughing loudly. Bai Qingzhou was also listening quietly. If he encountered some interesting topics, he would also ask questions.
However, although he seemed to be drinking tea and chatting casually, in fact, his eyes were glanced at a few people in the corner from time to time.
There were three people in the team, all wearing dark patterned robes and coats, which looked like official uniforms.
The reason why Bai Qingzhou noticed these people was because they were members of the patrol team in the palace. When he was at the entrance of the palace today, he accidentally saw these guards walking out of the palace.
The three of them kept eating, drinking tea and watching a show.
Bai Qingzhou didn't look anxious and waited quietly.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the three of them had eaten and drank enough and walked out of the teahouse together, arm in arm.
Bai Qingzhou put the silver on the table, stood up and followed the three of them out of the teahouse, keeping a long distance from them.
Although he did not have the aura to hide his aura, his control over his body was far beyond that of ordinary people. Therefore, after he deliberately concealed his aura, the three people in front of him could not detect that anyone was following him.
Soon, when they reached an intersection, the three of them waved goodbye and dispersed, obviously going back to their homes.
Bai Qingzhou didn't hesitate, and directly followed one of the middle-aged men with prominent cheekbones, continuing to follow him secretly.
In the teahouse, he heard what these people were talking about because of his amazing hearing. He learned from his words that this middle-aged man had a wife and children and lived outside the city, so he became Bai Qingzhou's target this time.
He walked forward and slowly walked out of the city gate, with Bai Qingzhou following closely behind.
Arriving at a sparsely populated area, Bai Qingzhou suddenly accelerated, and his ethereal figure quickly moved forward from behind, approaching the middle-aged man in just a few breaths.
"Hmm...?" The middle-aged man sensed a strange noise behind him. Just as he was about to turn around to check, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck, his eyes instantly became dark, and he passed out.
Bai Qingzhou gently lifted the knocked out middle-aged man, stepped forward, and jumped towards the woods next to him.
He found a hiding place at random, put the man on the ground, and gently slapped him twice to wake him up.
"I'm asking you to answer, are you clear?!" Bai Qingzhou pretended to be fierce and shouted coldly.
After waking up, the middle-aged man immediately understood his situation. Looking at Bai Qingzhou's cold eyes, he quickly nodded tremblingly.
"Are you a patrolling guard in the palace?" Bai Qingzhou asked, sitting on a stone.
"yes."
"Tell me about your patrol frequency in the palace."
The middle-aged man's expression changed again when he heard this. He looked at Bai Qingzhou and said tremblingly:
"Here, this good man, do you want to sneak into the palace...?"
"laugh!"
Bai Qingzhou pulled out a small knife from his waist, pointed the tip at the middle-aged man, his eyes were cold and he didn't speak.
"Don't, don't kill me..." The middle-aged man felt the murderous intention of the man in front of him. He was shocked for a moment and quickly begged for mercy.
"I know you have a wife and children at home. Don't say any more. I'll ask you an answer. Are you clear?" Bai Qingzhou said coldly again.
"Yes, yes!" Hearing that he was talking about his family, the middle-aged man nodded hastily.
"Tell me clearly the frequency of patrols!"
"Yes, our frequency..."
"..."
Time passed quickly between questions and answers, and Bai Qingzhou also asked the middle-aged man all the questions he wanted to know.
In the end, Bai Qingzhou let the man go after threatening him not to make any noise.
Although killing the middle-aged man on the spot might save a lot of trouble, Bai Qingzhou still didn't want to be that cruel person.
After learning some information, Bai Qingzhou was determined and returned directly from outside the city to the city to buy a black night suit.
I put on my clothes and began to wait quietly for dark.
...
As night falls, the capital city in the middle of the night seems unusually quiet compared to the daytime. Only the watchmen walking by from time to time make the streets seem a bit popular.
The curfew in the capital is much stricter than that in other places. Once night falls, many mortals can only stay in their own Xiaofang City.
At this time, in a market, a figure dressed in black carefully climbed out from the partition. After briefly looking at the direction, he swept forward.
This person is naturally Bai Qingzhou.
Walking on the street, he easily dodged the guards patrolling the street and soon arrived outside the palace wall.
He looked from a distance and found that there was no one walking on the city wall and there was no sound of people, so he knew that he was in the right place.
He had explored the entire palace a few days ago, and the city wall where he came now was the highest and the weakest defense.
After all, no one can climb up this high wall.
Of course, except Bai Qingzhou.
Seeing no one around, Bai Qingzhou ran forward, stepping lightly on the gaps in the city wall with the soles of his feet, moving upward like a ghost.
Bai Qingzhou's figure is extremely agile. In the words of Jianghu people, he has super strong Qinggong.
Within a few breaths, he successfully crossed the city wall and landed easily.
There was no one around. Bai Qingzhou stood up, looked at the buildings in the distance, and began to identify the direction.
He learned from the middle-aged man the general distribution of the palace and the location of Wenyuan Pavilion.
After a brief glance, Bai Qingzhou found the direction, then moved and ran towards the front.
His figure kept running on the roof, his body was so light that he didn't even make a sound when he stepped on the tiles, and his whole body kept moving.
Due to the night clothes and the darkness, the patrolling guards could not detect anyone running in the room.
Using the simple information given by the middle-aged man, Bai Qingzhou easily dodged several groups of patrolling guards. It took him half an hour to finally arrive in front of a building.
The building is a wooden structure with a total of two floors. It is extremely spacious. The huge plaque reads "The No. 1 Pavilion in the World"... 5
"It should be here..." Bai Qingzhou nodded, then turned his head to look at another large, brightly lit building in the distance, and murmured: "That building should be the little emperor's palace.
"
I learned from the conversation that Wenyuan Pavilion is indeed very close to the emperor's palace.
After looking at it twice, Bai Qingzhou looked away, moved directly, lowered himself to the ground, and easily pried open a window of Wenyuan Pavilion with a dagger, then turned over and got in through the window. This chapter has been completed!
