Qin Xiao failed to see the red leaves and had to return to the underground stone room.

The two of them did not stay in the stone room longer, and took Bi Fang back to the archives before dawn.

The little sister-in-law is full of worries, and Qin Xiao also has worries in her heart.

After he had a secret meeting with the princess, She Yue persuaded him to leave Kyoto as soon as possible, but Qin Xiao naturally could not leave She Yue alone.

Originally, he planned to use Bi Fang as a bargaining chip to exchange with the Tianzhai people for She Yue.

The situation in Kyoto is cloudy and has changed. Qin Xiao's strength in Kyoto is very weak and he has almost no ability to reverse the situation in Kyoto. According to the plan, if Bi Fang can be exchanged for She Yue, then Hongye can be asked to arrange for She Yue and Qiuniang to leave the capital. , only then can the stone in your heart fall.

But now he also knows that although Bi Fang is a disciple of Dao Zun, he is probably not worth much in the eyes of Dao Zun. It is almost impossible to exchange Bi Fang for She Yue.

Moreover, if people could really be exchanged, Junior Sister-in-law was afraid that she would have to exchange Bi Fang for Shen Wuchou and others, and would not allow herself to be exchanged for She Yue.

If we want to ensure that both She Yue and Shen Wuchou are safe and sound, the only way is to capture the thief and the king and capture Hong Tianji.

Although the junior aunt has not made the final decision, Qin Xiao knows in her heart that since the junior aunt has not insisted on not joining forces with Wei Wuya, she will eventually agree.

After it got dark, the young aunt finally made the decision to hide Bi Fang first, and then the two of them came to the underground stone room again.

In the underground stone room, there were already people waiting, and one of them, Qin Xiao, he knew, it was Xiao Jianzhi, the purple-clothed supervisor.

Qin Xiao had met Xiao Jianzhi in Hangzhou before. When he left Jiangnan, Xiao Jianzhi stayed in Jiangnan to handle affairs. More than half a year had passed since they met again.

Xiao Jianzhi seemed to have expected that the two of them would definitely come. He raised his hands to the young master's wife and said with a smile: "Purple-clothed Supervisor Xiao Jianzhi, I have met Mr. Six!" The two people behind him also raised their hands. Wearing a mask, his appearance could not be clearly seen. Just like Xiao Jianzhi, both were wearing night clothes. Qin Xiao knew that the other party was ready for action.

The young aunt didn't return the favor. Naturally, she didn't have any good impression of these eunuchs, so she asked: "Where is Wei Wuya?"

"General Manager Wei will take action tonight from another route." Xiao Jianzhi calmed down, and then turned his eyes to Qin Xiao and said with a smile: "Master Qin, I have not seen you for a long time in the south of the Yangtze River. I heard that your master has made rapid progress in cultivation, which is gratifying. Congratulations."

Qin Xiao knew in his heart that Wei Wuya had already told Wei Wuya the truth, so he stopped covering it up and went straight to the point and asked: "Master Xiao, do you have a specific plan for tonight's action?"

"Xue Quan, get the drawings!" Xiao Jianzhi ordered.

The person behind him already had a drawing in his hand, squatted down, and spread it flat on the ground.

Qin Xiao looked at the other party and thought that no wonder the other party looked familiar. It turned out to be Xue Quan, the young prisoner of the Purple Clothes Prison.

Before he went to the Northeast, he met Xue Quan, and it was Xue Quan who led him to Ziyi Prison and learned some information about the Liaodong Army.

Suddenly realizing something, he turned to look at the other person.

He didn't pay much attention to it before, but suddenly he remembered what Wei Wuya said last night. Although there are many masters in Ziyi Prison, there are only two guards in the sixth grade, namely Luo Hu and Xiao Jianzhi, and among the four young guards,

, and only two people have reached the fifth level.

Qin Xiao remembered clearly that Chen Xi was not only a young eunuch of the purple-clothed prison, but his cultivation level was also at the fifth level.

Since one of them is Xue Quan, the other fifth-level young eunuch can only be Chen Xi.

He and Chen Xi experienced life and death together during the Jiangnan Rebellion, and Chen Xi was able to escape from death only because he asked Taoist Aunt Luo Yue for help. The relationship between the two was not shallow, and the people next to him were probably Chen Xi and Qin Xiao.

Naturally, he was very surprised.

He turned around and looked over, and saw a pair of eyes under the man's mask staring at him. Although the mask obscured his appearance, the look on those eyes was very gentle.

"Shaojian Chen?" Qin Xiao called tentatively.

The man raised his hand and took off his mask, revealing his face. Who could it be if it wasn't Chen Xi?

Chen Xi smiled, bowed slightly and said, "Sir, how are you always?"

"Is it really you?" Qin Xiaoxi said, "Are you okay with your injuries?"

When he left Hangzhou, Chen Xi had been taken care of by Xiao Jianzhi. Although he escaped death under the treatment of Taoist Aunt Luo Yue, Chen Xi's injury had only improved slightly at that time. Now, more than half a year later, looking at Chen Xi's complexion,

It seems to have almost recovered.

But this is not something difficult to understand.

Chen Xi himself is in the fifth-grade Zhongtian realm, and his physique is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people. In addition, Ziyijian has a lot of rare medicinal materials. As a young prisoner of Ziyijian, Chen Xi recovered after more than half a year under the full care of Ziyijian.

It is also a reasonable thing.

Chen Xi cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thanks to Sir Alex, I have almost recovered. If Sir Alex hadn't saved me with all his strength, I would have turned into a pile of bones. I will definitely remember your kindness."

"It's great that you're safe and sound." Qin Xiao said with a smile.

The junior aunt looked at Chen Xi, and Chen Xi also glanced at the junior aunt. Both of them were very calm.

Qin Xiao saw this and sighed in his heart.

Not to mention Wei Wuya's involvement in the murder of the Sword God back then, Chen Xi alone formed a great feud with Sword Valley.

Chen Xi must have known by now that the person who brutally attacked him in Hangzhou was Shen Wuchou, the chief disciple of Sword Valley.

In order to reveal to the palace that the Great Heaven Realm had appeared in Sword Valley, Shen Wuya used this to lure Wei Wuya out of the palace, and dealt a cruel blow to Chen Xi. Chen Xi also almost died at the hands of Shen Wuchou.

Ziyi Jian and Jian Gu never dealt with each other. Because of this matter, Jian Gu and Chen Xi also forged a new hatred. Logically speaking, if Chen Xi met someone from Jian Gu, he would definitely not show mercy. But now both sides

But they had to work together.

Xiao Jianzhi squatted beside the drawings. Although he did not speak, Qin Xiao and his junior sister-in-law naturally understood the meaning and came closer.

"This is the topographic map around Zihuan Palace." Xiao Jianzhi said: "We have also conducted investigations in the past few days, and we are quite clear about the situation of Zihuan Palace." He stretched out a finger and pointed at a place on the drawing.

Said: "This is the east gate of Zihuan Palace, and it is also the target of our action tonight."

Qin Xiao asked: "Why choose East Gate?"

"A very good question." Xiao Jianzhi said with a smile: "Because after attacking the east gate, when the enemy counterattacks, our retreat will be smoother." His finger drew a line on the drawing, "To the east of Zihuan Palace,

There are three major palaces: Mingsi Hall, Xuanwei Hall and Longshou Hall. When retreating, there are many barriers. If the enemy pursues them, these palaces will block their sight. In addition, after passing through Longshou Hall, you can climb over the palace wall and withdraw.

Palace." He looked at Qin Xiao and asked, "Do you understand, Sir?"

Qin Xiao nodded, and Xiao Jianzhi continued: "

At present, it can be judged that there are about five to six hundred Tianzhai disciples distributed throughout the palace. There are two hundred people in Zihuan Hall alone, guarding all sides of Zihuan Hall, guarding the entire palace airtight. The east gate is about

There are about fifty people, all dressed as palace servants, taking turns day and night, and resting on the floor in Zihuan Hall, with more than twenty people on alert at all times." He clicked on the east gate and continued: "East Gate day and night.

They are all closed, and it looks like there are only about twenty people outside the door, but if something changes and the palace door is opened, the people inside will quickly come out to reinforce."

Qin Xiao had never been to Zihuan Palace, so he couldn't help but ask: "How big is Zihuan Palace?"

"Zihuan Hall is the sage's palace and one of the three main halls in the imperial city. The largest is Taiji Hall, which is used for court meetings. Zihuan Hall is the first hall in the harem, second only to Taiji Hall in size." Xiao Jianzhi explained patiently: "Zihuan Hall is the first hall in the harem and is second only to Taiji Hall in size."

There are thirty or forty rooms of various sizes in the Huandian, and the entire palace can accommodate three to five hundred people without being crowded at all."

Qin Xiao had seen Taiji Hall and knew that Taiji Hall was extremely grand. Zihuan Hall was only slightly smaller in size than Taiji Hall, so it was also very grand.

It's no wonder that not only Hong Tianji can be there, but Shen Wuchou and others are also imprisoned there.

"If it is of this scale, even if there are two hundred Tianzhai disciples guarding it, it will not be considered a large number of people." Qin Xiao said.

Xiao Jianzhi said: "Your Majesty, please don't forget that these two hundred people are not ordinary people. They are all monks from Dongji Tianzhai. Although Hong Tianji did not teach them Kung Fu personally, these people have been practicing Kungfu on Penglai Island all year round. The weakest

Although most of them are only in the Small Heaven Realm and only a few in the Middle Heaven Realm, such a group of people together cannot be underestimated." With a serious expression, he said: "Their combined strength is comparable to four or five hundred people.

The Dragon Scale Imperial Guard is even stronger."

The Dragon Scale Imperial Guards were the most elite troops in the Tang Empire. Qin Xiao knew what Xiao Jianzhi meant. He must not underestimate this group of Dongji Tianzhai monks.

"There is one more thing I want to inform you two." Xiao Jianzhi said: "Tantai Xuanye transferred a batch of arrows and crossbows from the armory to the palace and distributed them to these monks. Although after our observation, these monks seemed

They disdain to use arrows and crossbows, but if they are in a hurry, they will take them out if they are not sure." He looked at Qin Xiao and said: "Fortunately, these monks think they are noble. If they are really improvising, there should be many among them.

We don’t know how to use the crossbow, but just in case, we’ve made some preparations here.”

Having said this, Xiao Jianzhi glanced at Chen Xi. Chen Xi didn't waste any words. He turned around and came over quickly. He was carrying two packages in his hands and placed one at the feet of the little aunt and Qin Xiao.

.

"What is it?" Qin Xiao was a little confused. He opened it and found that there were not only masks but also strange weapons inside. Chen Xi had already picked up the weapon and introduced: "Sir, this is the arm specially designed by Ziyi Prison."

Arrows. Wrap this leather around your wrist. It is very light. There are a total of six poisonous arrows on it. You see, the mechanism here is very dexterous. As long as you press it hard, you can shoot out the poisonous arrows. Remember, this arm

The arrow clusters must not hurt the flesh. Once blood is seen, the poison will immediately invade the body and kill you instantly."

Qin Xiao saw that the design of this arm arrow was strange, and thought that only the Purple Clothes Supervisory Committee would study this kind of vicious murder weapon with great care.

"Arm arrows are mainly used to deal with monks who can use arrows and crossbows." Xiao Jianzhi said: "After launching the attack, we must get as close to them as possible, so that even if they have arrows and crossbows in their hands, they will not dare to fire arrows randomly.

When the time comes, as long as you see someone holding an arrow and crossbow, don’t hesitate to shoot him with an arm arrow. This way you can avoid the threat posed by the arrow and crossbow." He paused and then said: "Next, we will make detailed arrangements for that time.
