C1742 Nocturnal exploration of the palace
Looking at the unfamiliar environment around them, they knew that they should have reached the Xuan Wu City already.2
"Lord Qi, what should we do next?" The eldest of the seven generals, Qi Qingfeng, looked at Qi Tianyu.
"What do we do next?" Let me think, well, let's get some rest! " Qi Tianyu pondered for a moment before speaking.
"What?" "Rest!" Qi Qingfeng thought he misheard, and he repeated what Qi Tianyu said.
"Yes, you guys rest first. I'll go investigate the situation and come back to discuss the plan." "That's right, tonight you can make whatever you want to eat and deal with it. In order to keep it a secret, I have sent all of the servants away. Moreover, I have set up a formation outside of the manor, so you should try your best not to go out." Qi Tianyu explained to everyone, he wanted to go out and check the situation.
"Brother Tianyu, be careful." Qi Yurou looked at Qi Tianyu with a pained expression. She knew that Qi Tianyu did all of this for her.
"Mm, don't worry. I'll be fine. You guys should rest as well. I've been practicing for the entire day, I've worked hard." Qi Tianyu looked at his wives and felt extremely gratified in his heart. When they were cultivating inside the Profound Yellow Heavenly Stele, Qi Tianyu had felt it too. He thought that they had already cultivated for an entire day, it was time for them to rest.
The house this time was larger, it had more than twenty rooms. Considering that Qi Feihu would come again in the future, he found a large courtyard.
"I'll be leaving first. Everyone disperse and go back to rest." We'll meet here tomorrow morning to discuss the plan. " With that, Qi Tianyu left. He wanted to find out more information.
In terms of gathering information, there was no place more suitable than the small restaurant. Qi Tianyu's figure flashed and left the courtyard. It was already midnight, and there were no longer any pedestrians on the street. There were only a few drunkard with stars in their eyes, and no one knew what they were cursing about.
The entire city had gone to sleep. There were only two places where people were still making noise. One was a brothel, and the other was a wine shop. Qi Tianyu was on his way to the tavern. He followed the direction of the drunkard and soon found a tavern. There were quite a few people inside, and there was even a storyteller who was talking nonstop.
"Master, please come in. We have a very good girl red here." Seeing Qi Tianyu walking to the door with the intention to enter, the waiter hurriedly went to welcome him.
"Alright, then give me a jar of Nu Er Hong, and then casually order some dishes. This is for you." Qi Tianyu saw that the waiter was not bad, so he gave him a Spiritual Stone as a tip.
"Alright, I'll go get it for you. Please take a seat, sir." The waiter's smile almost disappeared as he laughed. Those who came to this kind of restaurant were usually the poor. It had been a long time since he had received a tip.
Qi Tianyu found a seat and sat down. He turned his hearing to the maximum, paying attention to the people around him to see if he could hear any valuable information.
"Fuck, I don't know what's going on these next few days, isn't it just the new emperor that is about to ascend to the throne? It was as if the entire country was going to perish, the city gates were so tight, so I came back a little late and locked me out, causing me to spend a hundred Spiritual Stone s to link up and enter the city. If it wasn't for the fact that I managed to earn some money from my business, I would have spent the night outside, almost unable to drink with you. "
"Shh, lower your voice. Don't let others hear it. You can drink alcohol, but you can't speak carelessly. Be careful not to say anything bad."
Have the city gates been inspected? Heh heh, Qi Jingcai, this old cunning fox really has something, but even if he were to calculate it all by himself, he wouldn't know that we have already entered. Now that the security at the city gate is so tight, there might be less people in the palace. Also, the people inside might relax when nothing happens outside. This is the chance for us to take action.
Qi Tianyu casually ate something, drank a bit of alcohol, pretended to be drunk, placed the money on the table and walked away shakily. He walked out of the inn, and after seeing that no one was around, he stealthily left for the direction of the Imperial Palace.
The night in the north was extremely cold and this sort of cold was like a drizzle to Qi Tianyu. He was an expert at the tenth stage of the Genuine Immortal and had long surpassed the boundaries of mortals.
Although he moved extremely quickly, he did not make any sound. Qi Tianyu looked down from the walls of the imperial palace at the guards below to see how they would change their defenses, and then carve this image into his heart.
His thoughts were similar to Third Prince's. If he wanted to figure out the enemy's defenses, then he would be able to sneak in to save them.
The last time Third Prince came, he had already been discovered. The other party had purposefully set up a simple formation to let him in, which was why he had been caught in a jar.
With Qi Tianyu's powerful perception in his previous life, he shouldn't have been discovered. After all, he had come here in secret.
Although he was wantonly searching for Transfer Array in the Lingyun Ancient City, in name he was still searching for a felon. Furthermore, the ones who were dispatched were all the golden-armored guards of the prince's mansion. They were the core strength of the prince's mansion, so they would absolutely not expose this secret. Because if they did not have a Third Prince, they might be killed by the new Emperor, so they had no choice. Those generals and elders would never reveal their whereabouts, so no one should know that he was here today.
He walked around the walls of the palace, looking over the entire perimeter, imprinting on his mind all the defenses of the guards he had seen. He did not dare go in, because there might be rankers from Immortal King or above. After all, even Qi Jingheng had been caught, so he had to be careful.
Qi Tianyu had only come here to rescue Third Prince because of Qi Yurou. If not for Yurou's grandfather, he definitely would not have caused trouble for herself. After all, this matter was extremely dangerous, and if she had been careless, he might have even been involved.
He was afraid that the guards inside would change their arrangements. After he finished his rounds, he realised that there were basically no changes at all, there were only two people missing in one place, but he would be back soon, probably sneaking off to the toilet. This further confirmed Qi Tianyu's guess about the guards inside the palace.
Qi Tianyu looked at the sky. He reckoned that it was already five o'clock in the morning, and when it was time to return, he climbed down the wall and disappeared into the night. When he returned, he changed positions and quickly circled the few streets. Only when there was no one there that day did he feel at ease to rush back. Because he suffered a hidden loss last time, the secret treasure, Blood Concealment, could directly escape his senses. He had to be careful of the appearance of this kind of secret treasure again.
