Chapter 5 Entering the Imperial City at Night

Feng Qi always acted vigorously and resolutely, so he returned to the underground city that night and saw what Wan Shitong said he was wearing.

Dressed in black, the style is quite similar to Feng Qi's usual style, and he even has hidden weapons and poisons prepared.

But the poison was just a red pill, carefully placed in an exquisite brocade box. Feng Qi knew in his heart that this poison was prepared for himself.

Without too much hesitation, Feng Qi took a short rest and then followed the ghost soldiers on the road.

It's just that the ghost soldiers sent Feng Qi outside the imperial city and left. Before leaving, they gave Feng Qi a token to ensure that Feng Qi could enter and exit the imperial city freely and no one dared to stop him.

This token is obviously heavier than the Ghost King's Order. There are not too many complicated patterns on it. It is simply engraved with the word "Qing", which seems to be a private order of a certain noble.

But Feng Qi didn't pay too much attention to it. The underground city is still standing. Such prosperity naturally has its own power.

The night is shrouded, and the huge palace is mysterious and solemn, shrouded in a layer of silver light, giving it a silent majesty.

It is rumored that the emperor has five chief eunuchs beside him, all of whom possess special skills. As long as he steps into the imperial city, he will never escape their sight.

Sitting high on the palace was a man in black, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, closing his eyes and falling asleep.

The night wind blows the hem of his clothes, like an immortal who has descended into the world, with his back to the bright moon, sacred and inviolable.

Feng Qi looked at the person high up in the dark. This was one of the five chief prisoners. It was rumored that no one could escape his control.

If there is even a hint of panic in your steps, it will definitely attract that person's attention.

While Feng Qi was hesitating, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from the darkness and headed straight for the imperial study.

His steps were light and extremely fast, moving silently across the palace wall, like a ghost.

But the movement of the black shadow was still captured by the people at the top, and they shot the arrows in one go.

The sharp arrows pierced the sky and rushed towards the black shadow with a roar. The figure of the black shadow did not pause, but just dodged slightly, and then quickly ran away in other directions.

All this happened very quickly, Feng Qi frowned slightly as he watched the two black shadows shuttle back and forth under the moonlight one after another.

No matter who the visitor is, it is naturally a good thing for someone to divert this troublesome guy away from him.

From time to time, patrolling guards or maids pass through the complex and intertwined corridors. Feng Qi holds the sharp knife in his arms and walks in the dark without leaving a trace, following the maids.

Even his breathing was deliberately slowed down. Fortunately, he arrived at the emperor's chamber soon.

Arriving in front of the palace gate and walking through the long corridor, a group of patrolling guards came face to face.

Feng Qi turned over and jumped onto the roof, thinking that he might as well come down from the top.

But before he took a few steps on the beam, he heard a deep male voice coming from behind him.

"Why is it so secretive when visiting at night?"

Feng Qi was startled and turned around slowly, only to see a man in gray robe standing behind him, holding a Buddhist bead in his left hand and holding a long sword in his right hand.

The left hand is for Buddha, the right hand is for killing evil.

The man in gray robe has a handsome face, with a faint smile on his face, but it is not as deep as his eyes, but it makes people feel fearful.

This is also one of the five great prisons and calls itself the Killing Heart Guanyin.

Killing Heart Guanyin slightly raised her lips, with a respectful look, "There are really few people who can meet me. This is really your blessing."

Feng Qi frowned slightly and said, "I made a mistake at night. Chief Supervisor Quan just pretended he didn't see me."

"Oh, young master, this is really embarrassing for our family. The palace is not a place where young master can come just by taking the wrong route."

He put his left hand behind his back and said, "Young Master, since we are meeting each other, why do you need to wear a mask?"

Fengqi's expression remained unchanged, "He looks ugly and is inconvenient to see people."

There are only a handful of people who can escape from the hands of the Killing Heart Guanyin, and there are only a few people in the world who are known to have skills superior to the Killing Heart Guanyin.

"It's gone! Someone's coming!"

"There are assassins! There are assassins!"

The shouts came out of nowhere, and the palace suddenly became lively. There were flames shooting into the sky from the palaces in all directions, which was really scary.

Killing Heart Guanyin's face was quite calm, but she just laughed disdainfully, "The young master brought so many people and created such a big momentum, which makes it very difficult for our family to handle."

There was a hint of murderous intent in his tone, and he silently drew out the sharp blade in his right hand, which shone coldly under the moonlight and was inexplicably bone-piercing.

Fengqi didn't know what was going on, so he could only say nothing.

She also took out the sharp blade from her waist. She was lucky enough to meet two of the five chief prisoners. She was really lucky.

But the man in black who had just lured away the man at the top suddenly appeared. He stood between the two of them, with his back to Feng Qi.

Feng Qi was shocked, but he didn't think much about it. It must have been arranged by Wan Shitong.

Looking at the arrangement of the dungeon, they obviously don't need to come by themselves, but why should they let themselves come?

The man in black had a burly figure, his black hair was constantly being blown up, and his voice was sharp, "Chief Supervisor, why don't you let me try your skills."

The two of them didn't say anything more and just started fighting each other. With the fire all around, the guards and the imperial guards were unable to pay attention to the situation here.

The fight between the two gave Feng Qi a chance. Without looking back, he turned around and entered the emperor's chamber.

However, there has been such a big commotion, and the emperor will definitely not be in the palace, but it doesn't matter, Feng Qi is just here to put something away.

Feng Qi stuffed the witchcraft doll under the pillow of the dragon bed and planned to leave.

However, remembering Wan Shitong's instructions, Yun Zhuo looked around at the things on the bedside, then casually grabbed a pen on the slip of paper and put it into his arms.

The emperor's bedroom wasn't anything fancy, just some fancy decorations.

The only thing that didn't match the entire dormitory was the painting hanging on the wall. It was a fine painting depicting a woman.

But Feng Qi didn't have time to look further, so he turned around and left.

It's just that it's easier to get in than to get out. The guards are searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the traitor. All the city gates are sealed. It's probably not easy to leave.

After dodging a group of guards in the darkness, Feng Qi's forehead had already condensed with a layer of sweat. Not only did he have to be wary of guards who might appear at any time, but he also couldn't make the slightest move in his voice.

"follow me."

Feng Qi was startled by the man in black who appeared from behind him at some point, and broke into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, this person was arranged by the dungeon. Otherwise, with this person's ability, he would have no idea how he died.

It is really amazing that the underground city has gathered such talents. No wonder the emperor is eyeing the underground city.

Without any hesitation, Feng Qi followed the man in black and walked around into the imperial garden. Behind the rockery, the man in black just moved a dark stone, and a stone suddenly appeared in front of him.

Shimen.

Flashing into the darkness, footsteps could be heard outside.

Feng Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still slightly surprised. The underground city had really reached out to the imperial city?

But this has nothing to do with myself.

She took out the token that the ghost soldier had given her before, and then handed it to the man in black in front of her.

"I've finished it. You can take this thing back."

Although this person is different from the ghost soldiers, he probably still works for the dungeon, otherwise he wouldn't have appeared to help him many times just now.

The man had his hands behind his back and had no intention of reaching out to pick them up. He just glanced down at the person in front of him.

Her red lips parted slightly, and her voice was low and somewhat hoarse. It was obvious that she lowered her voice deliberately, "You'd better give this to Wan Shitong personally."

He pointed to the dark corridor and said, "You can leave the imperial city if you go out. Let's go."

The man in black also had a mask on his face. Feng Qi could not see his appearance clearly, but he felt that the voice was inexplicably familiar.

Feng Qi wanted to ask a few more questions, but the man in black opened the secret door again and strode out.

Thinking that he had other things to do, Feng Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, then put away the token and left in the direction of the man's finger.

There was a faint smell of earth in the corridor, as if it had just been dug out not long ago.

If the dungeon already has such great abilities, why is it causing such a fuss? Look at your own strength? It’s really strange.

Following the man's instructions, Feng Qi actually walked out after walking for only half an hour.

As soon as we came out of the corridor, we saw a vast wilderness, which was already the outskirts of the city.

After simply judging the direction, Feng Qi hurried back overnight. The court was as deep as water, and he was afraid that he would be affected.

There are thieves breaking into the palace, and there are more than one person. They come and go without a trace, how can they rest in peace?

The five chief guards have been guarding the emperor, and only Killing Heart Guanyin is still leading people to search for the whereabouts of the thief.

However, when I entered the Imperial Garden, I saw a man walking slowly with a few guards.

The man was wearing a python robe, with a tall and straight posture, an elegant walk, and a blue brocade robe. His handsome face had a light expression. A pair of phoenix eyes were also colorless.

The python robe is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. The cuffs are embroidered with red cranes and auspicious clouds with silver and gold threads. Around the waist is a vermilion and white jade belt, and a white jade exquisite waist pendant hangs like a bright moon, which cannot be looked directly at.

Killing Heart Guanyin's hurried steps suddenly stopped, she straightened her clothes slightly, raised her hands and bowed slightly, smiling humbly.

"Your Highness."

There was no change at all on the man's indifferent face. He just raised his hand slightly, and Killing Heart Guanyin immediately stood up straight.

"I heard a commotion in front of the palace at night. Come out to see what happened. Did it alert you, the chief supervisor?"

Killing Guanyin just smiled slowly and said, "It was my lack of supervision that allowed the thief to enter the palace, but please rest assured, Your Highness, the thief will be caught. Please just rest early and close the doors and windows to avoid getting burned."

"

He said the last four words extremely slowly and raised his eyes slightly, as if he was hinting at something.

Their eyes met, and the person who was called His Highness just chuckled disdainfully, seeming to be mocking.

It turned out that the residence of the Ninth Prince was not in the palace, but the emperor was very agitated today. He only trusted his younger brother, so he summoned the Ninth Prince into the palace.

I just didn't expect that something like this would happen that night.

"I don't know what kind of thief could make such a big fuss under the noses of the five chief wardens. It's really strange. Do you need me to lend some people to the chief wardens?"

"I won't bother Your Highness to worry about these little things. Your Highness should go back early."

The man snorted lightly, turned around and left with his people.

The guard beside him frowned slightly, walked behind the man, and gently scratched something on the man's back.

The man didn't react in any way, but the corner of his mouth unconsciously curled up into a sneer.

I didn't expect that the person chosen by Know-It-All would be her. This matter seemed to be getting more and more interesting.

He raised his hand and saw that there was still blood flowing out of his palm, but the smile at the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.

It is said that the Killing Heart Guanyin kills people like crazy, but when you think about it, it is nothing more than that. Although I suffered some injuries, at least I found out the true ability of the Killing Heart Guanyin.

It seems that there will indeed be a lot of trouble in the future.

Feng Qi, on the other hand, returned to the dungeon without incident, while Wan Shitong had been waiting for him long ago.

When he took the brush from Feng Qi's hands, he was slightly startled, looking at Feng Qi with something else in his eyes.

This pen is engraved with lifelike dragon patterns, and also has a faint smell of pine smoke ink, which smells very good.

Wanshitong smiled and said, "Fengqi, do you know where this money comes from?"

Feng Qi wanted to say that it was just a pen, what was its origin? But he still shook his head and expressed humbly that he didn't know.

Wan Shitong pondered for a moment, "A relic of the late emperor."

Feng Qi took away the relics of the late emperor, so the palace would be turned upside down? His Highness must not have thought that there would be thieves targeting a writing brush.

Unexpectedly, Feng Qi just raised his head calmly and said, "I just followed the order from the dungeon."

Wanshitong raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, "It is indeed about the dungeon."
