Chapter 268: The Puppet in the Pillar (Part 2)

Cao Xiwan felt the light.

Wu Laodang seemed to look at her and raised the lantern in his hand to shine on her. She quickly restrained her murderous intent and pretended to be a fool.

She wondered, what did Feng Xiaochu's dull eyes look like? Moreover, she was wearing a green robe, not a gray robe, but she remembered that the puppets in the dungeon had gray and green robes.

Moreover, in such a cold weather, only puppets are not afraid of the cold and wear thin robes.

Wu Laodang was also puzzled, why did he feel that this puppet was a bit strange?

Although it was a green robe with a hood, half of the black hair and forehead were exposed, and it was a female puppet, it felt a bit weird. He didn't know what the female puppet looked like because he had never seen it before.

He took out a small whistle and blew it gently. Cao Xiwan heard it.

She jumped out of the pillar and opened her eyes, as dull and lifeless as Feng Xiaochu.

Wu Laodang nodded. If it were not a real puppet, no one would have heard this voice.

He had tried it before both inside and outside the palace.

What an ignorant eunuch. She could guess what Wu Laodang was thinking. She followed Wu Laodang and jumped out of the main hall from the side door. She secretly looked at the faint clouds and cold moon in the sky, and the cold wind howled like a ghost.

Chirp. This is really like the weather when zombies are born.

The palace road was dark, Wu Laodang held a lamp and easily bypassed the inspections of the eunuchs and guards in the palace.

Cao Xiwan had expected this. She had originally speculated that the person who conspired with Marquis Nankang to control the puppets in the palace must be a eunuch, and must be a high-ranking official.

Otherwise, this kind of puppet can easily scare the night watchers.

She straightened her legs and jumped while thinking, Old Wu must not know that the silent flute actually has a sound, which is extremely slightly distorted like the sound of wind in the air, even a top expert will ignore it.

But she won't, because it is a bit like the sound of crying wind, which is blown by the Qimen weapon that uses sound to control the enemy! The same is true for the whip wind of the elephant slaves.

Updated.

Wu Laodang was walking and walking. He had no attendants around him. He was holding a white gauze hexagonal palace lantern, illuminating the brick-paved palace road in front of him. With twists and turns, he didn't know which palace he was going to. She carefully identified the locations of the palaces and pavilions.

The orientation and specifications are like passing the Queen's Kangning Hall?

Wu Laodang is actually the Queen's man?

Impossible. She thought, and sure enough, he came out of the west gate of the inner palace again, but Cao Xiwan could see the direction. He kept walking along the wall of the inner palace. She finally got impatient and cursed secretly, who is this damn eunuch?

What a bastard of a favorite concubine? You want a puppet to be sent to the wall immediately?

Is this to pull the emperor's puppet out of his wandering child?

She shrank her head and thought unhappily, it's so cold! She's freezing to death!

She is a patient who has taken Bizhu. She is a patient and cannot be blown into the cold wind in the middle of the night. Liu Ruhai must say that she will get sick. She sighed secretly and could only carefully mobilize the power of Bizhu in the inner Dantian to slowly warm her body.

.

Originally, she wanted to keep these medicinal powers for use, at least before leaving the palace, she would use these medicinal powers to kill Kaikai.

The second bizhu was less than ten thousand, and she had no intention of taking it again.

The pale crescent moon shines all over the palace.

At the fork in the palace road, Liu Ruhai stopped in astonishment in a dark place where the moonlight could not reach. He looked around and couldn't believe it. Behind Wu Laodang was a ghastly and frightening masked palace man, who was obviously a puppet.

But he recognized it at a glance. It was Cao Xiwan who he had chased into the palace and had lost.

"What's wrong? Come on, the guards are about to patrol this section." Niu Zijin, who was waiting for him, asked him quietly, and also glanced at Cao Xiwan, "That's a puppet. He's in charge of it. Don't let me know when I see you next time."

Get close. That thing is three to four times more powerful than an ordinary master."

Liu Ruhai looked at Niu Zijin, shook his head, and quietly walked with him into the Palace Chinese Medicine Storehouse, and changed clothes in an unattended room. Niu Zijin recently worked with Taiyuan Hospital to manage the Palace Chinese Medicine Storehouse, which is only separated from the inner palace by a wall.

.

"Where are Wu Laodang going?" Liu Ruhai asked softly.

"It should be the Changchun Palace at the end. It has been useless for a long time. A few old palace people live there. It is not even the cold palace. Last month, it was reported that the main palace was about to collapse due to water seepage. Wu Laodang asked people to repair it a while ago. Every day

I’ll go see the project.”

Liu Ruhai vaguely sensed that there might be something wrong in the Changchun Palace, but he didn't know that Cao Xiwan was far outside the palace. Where did the news come from?

He sighed that Cao Xiwan loved to worry about his life. He was not afraid that his body would not be able to bear it when he wandered around the palace in a thin shirt in the middle of the night in the middle of winter. Fortunately, he knew that she was in the tunnel.

Feng Junqing only pursued the old eunuch, naturally in order to kill Princess Dai to silence her.

"What is your Majesty's decree for the past two days? To the king?" he asked.

"Prince Zhou came to complain on the first day of the national mourning, saying that he found that the Dai Wang's palace was housing a martial artist of unknown origin. The intention was unknown. His Majesty asked Nankang Marquis to go back to the Li Palace to see the situation of the Dai Wang. But I heard that the Li Palace had

Something big happened."

Cao Xiwan jumped all the way and followed Wu Laodang into the Changchun Palace.

There were broken houses under the two corridors, and there were overgrown grass in front of the corridor. There was a lamp behind the window, and there was the sound of the old palace man coughing. But the old palace man was deaf and did not notice that Wu Laodang came with the puppet.

As expected, there were a lot of wood, bricks, and plaster piled in front of the main hall. She saw a big hole in the east corner of the main hall, exposing the roof beams. Wu Laodang entered the hall and found himself in the half-collapsed west hall.

A few wooden boards were moved from the wall, and she saw the sandwiched wall at a glance.

Standing still in the palace, she was vaguely aware of the secrets in the Changchun Palace. It wasn't her, and others didn't know it yet!

This area of ​​Changchun Palace is close to the Beigong Gate, and one mile behind it is the eunuch group room near the Beigong Gate. The room for the ceremonial supervisor is also at the Beigong Gate.

This area along the palace wall was originally the site of the Southern Tang Palace.

Changchun Palace was originally the inner palace for the concubines of the Southern Tang Dynasty one or two hundred years ago.

Wu Laodang gently pulled out a few bricks and walked into the wall. She was surprised why he didn't ask her to come with him. This clearly showed that Wu Laodang was timid. After discovering the wall, he wanted to bring a puppet with him to find out.

.Isn’t it?

Then, she saw Wu Laodang carrying out a corpse.

"...???" What did she see? Cao Xiwan was also a little shocked. Is it allowed to kill people and hide corpses in the palace? Although it is not difficult for her, but Wu Laodang's ability to do these things

, should be far inferior to her.

Wu Laodang leaned the body against the wall, and Cao Xiwan noticed something was wrong. It should be a dried female body.

She has been dead for many years, and her body has shrunk. There are still valuable rubies and gold flowers in her hair. At least she is a concubine, right?

"Godfather." A eunuch's voice suddenly sounded from behind the wall. In the dark and ruined palace, it was like the cry of an underground ghost, which was terrifying to the ears and eyes.

Cao Xiwan remained calm. The power of the beads in her inner palace had penetrated all the energy channels in her body, and her ears and eyes were even more sensitive. She had long sensed that there was another person in the wall.

Another young eunuch actually walked out from the wall. Through the moonlight in the dilapidated hall, she immediately recognized him. He was Xiao Zheng, another godson of Wu Laodang. Mr. Zheng of Cai Guibi Palace.

This boy is so skinny that he looks like a mummy. He is not as handsome as his other godson, Xiao Zhao, who looks like a scholar.

He carried out a large package and placed it next to the body. Cao Xiwan's eyes lit up when she heard the sound of the package hitting the ground. Is it treasure? Could this be the ownerless treasure hidden in the wall? If she took it secretly

, they can only consider themselves unlucky!

"Have you checked it out?"

"After checking, my son has been wandering around there in the past two days. This corpse has nothing to do with us."

Of course it has nothing to do with it. Cao Xiwan despised it. The corpse was so shriveled that it must have died at least twenty years before Taizu established his dynasty. The dead eunuchs simply lacked knowledge in the palace and saw too few corpses.

Xiao Zheng explained in detail that there was an engraved suicide note left in the wall. The mummy was that of a concubine who died of starvation.

"Husband Kai, let's go to the inner cell first——"

Cao Xiwan was overjoyed. Sure enough, she found the right place. She expected that the Shedian area could hide puppets, so it might not be the place where Mr. Kai hides people. Isn't there some clue?

Xiao Zheng bent down to report. He only lowered his head and whispered, but he didn't realize that there was a gloomy female puppet standing quietly in the hall.

Cao Xiwan wondered whether Mr. Wu was going to go into the double wall or the inner prison? There must be a conspiracy. If she followed, she would have to seize the opportunity to spread poisonous powder and kill people.
