The Cao family hired many warriors to serve as guards. These guards would patrol the yard in shifts and would not rest even at night. The Cao family's guards were divided into two types, one in the light and one in the dark.
Each one of the guardians holding torches patrolled around, while the other guardians lurked in the dark, quietly, waiting for the thieves to appear.
The strength of these guardians is generally not weak. They are basically all warriors. There are no ordinary people included. Their strength is generally around the second or third heaven. Among them, there are two particularly powerful people who are responsible for guarding the Lingquan Court and are difficult to deal with.
Zhao Zheng's strength is comparable to those of these people. As long as Cao Xuan, who had a private meeting with his lover, does not come back, he can steal the imperial wine relatively easily.
Zhao Zhengyun picked up Luo Yan and walked vigorously. His whole body was light and his weight seemed to have been reduced by half. His footsteps made almost no sound, and the only sound was absorbed by the cloud-stepping boots. His shadow was hidden under the wall.
, moving forward slowly, while walking, his eyes scanned the surroundings like lightning, observing the movement. Unfortunately, he has not reached the fifth heaven realm, and does not have the ability to have "ears and eyes", and his observation and perception are slightly inferior. If
If you were a fifth-level Heavenly Warrior, you would be able to judge the general situation around you just by hearing.
A team of nursing staff came over holding torches. The jumping firelight illuminated the yard as if it were daytime. Under the light of the fire, the dry flowers cast shadows like ghost claws on the ground. There were several people in the nursing team.
While chatting and commenting on the girls in the brothel, the leader of the team couldn't stand it anymore and scolded everyone, telling everyone to cheer up, saying that they were guarding Jiu Yunyun for the emperor.
Zhao Zheng quietly hid in a flower bush, curled up into a ball, and waited until the nursing team was far away before jumping out from the flowers and continuing to move forward. Through observation, he found that the defense of this courtyard was relatively weak, with only
There was a team of guards in the light, but not a single guard in the dark.
He jumped and hid all the way, passed through the door of the first courtyard without any danger, and came to the second courtyard. There were three fires in this courtyard. It seemed that there were three teams guarding Ming's courtyard.
The defense in that courtyard is much tighter. This indirectly proves that the information provided by the manservant is indeed correct. This is indeed the location of Lingquan Court. The closer to Lingquan Court, the tighter the defense in the courtyard becomes.
You can reach Lingquan Court through two more courtyards. This small courtyard is located in the package of layers of courtyards. No matter which direction you sneak in, you will inevitably encounter those guarding courtyards. There is no shortcut.
Two teams of nursing staff were walking towards the door, and the fire spread rapidly towards this direction.
Zhao Zheng needed to find a place to hide. He glanced around twice to take in the surrounding situation and confirmed that there was no hidden whistle. Then he jumped towards a rockery flower bed and fell into it silently.
Two teams of guards came over. One team patrolled around the houses in the yard, and the other team patrolled around the walls. The guards patrolling the houses posed no threat to Zhao Zheng, but the guards walking around the walls posed no threat to Zhao Zheng.
The hospital passed by the place where Zhao Zheng was hiding.
Master Zhao Zhengyi was bold and not afraid at all. He waited quietly for the nursing team to approach. When the nursing team was about to shine the light on him, he began to move to the other side of the rockery, barely able to avoid the light of the fire. He
Occasionally, I looked back to check the situation on the rockery on the other side, and suddenly I found a figure in the other rockery, which seemed to be a hidden whistle.
The secret whistle must not have discovered Zhao Zheng yet, otherwise he would have shouted out long ago, how could he stay there silently.
If he continued to move forward, his target would probably be exposed. Zhao Zheng bravely lowered his waist, quickly walked around the rockery, and suddenly jumped into another rockery flower bed. There was no movement from the secret whistle on the opposite side. At this time, the guard team
They also bypassed the rockery flower bed where Zhao Zheng had stayed before, and there were occasional conversations among the group of people.
Zhao Zheng secretly used a dangerous trick, relying on the cover of the rockery to successfully avoid the guard team. He intended to take advantage of the guard team to go far away and knock out the secret sentry, but he hesitated and gave up the idea.
Secret whistles will also change shifts. If someone discovers that a secret whistle has been knocked unconscious during a shift change, everyone will be alerted. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better not to take action against these secret whistles.
He lurked behind the rockery, carefully observed the surrounding situation, and found an inconspicuous secret sentry. Based on the surrounding situation, he worked out a safe route. Taking advantage of the fact that there were no guards coming, he quickly jumped out of the rockery, first
He put one foot on a flower bed, then jumped up to a roof, and climbed onto the eaves with both hands. He exerted force on both arms, slowly revealed his head, and confirmed that there was no one on the roof, then he turned over and jumped up, lowering his waist and walking away.
Got to the other side of the roof.
He stopped and walked, jumping over two rooftops in a row until he reached a rooftop near the courtyard wall. He could reach the next courtyard just by jumping over this wall.
The courtyard opposite was full of fire, and it seemed to be more tightly defended, and the courtyard was much larger than this courtyard. Lingquan Court was located in the middle of this large courtyard, and was wrapped in layers by this large courtyard.
The guards in the two courtyards were moving very quickly. Zhao Zheng squatted for a long time before he seized a good opportunity and jumped onto the opposite wall. There were also sharp nails buried on the wall, so he was very careful when he landed.
He avoided it, stepped on a bare wall, turned over and jumped into the darkness of the yard.
After passing through this courtyard, you can reach Lingquan Court, and victory is in sight.
This yard is larger, with more houses and flower beds, and correspondingly more hiding places and places where hidden sentinels can be easily buried, so you need to be more careful.
Zhao Zheng hid under the corner and observed for a while, and found all the secret sentries around him. There were as many as three. When he acted, he had to avoid the eyes of these secret sentries and the windows of the house, which was not easy. He
Finally, he worked out a route forward, and once again chose the roof that was easier to avoid sight. When no one was paying attention, he jumped up with a series of clean movements, grabbed the eaves of a three-story building, and headed towards
It's jumping up and down.
When he jumped to the top floor, Zhao Zheng looked up and observed before jumping up. As soon as he stood firm, a head appeared from the side next to him and looked at him. That head was a secret sentry.
Sticking out, he usually stayed on this roof, because the roof was in the shape of a ridge slope, so Zhao Zheng couldn't find him just now.
Zhao Zheng made a quick decision and rushed forward. When An Shao just made a sound, he covered An Shao's mouth. Using the skill of a small grappler, he turned over An Shao's body and grabbed An Shao's throat. He leaned in
He reached Anshao's ear and whispered: "If you don't want to die, don't move."
Anshao was very emotional. Although he heard the threat, he still let out two whines from his mouth.
Someone from the nursing home passing by heard the noise and raised their voice and asked: "Huzi, why did you make such a strange noise? Is there something going on above?"
Zhao Zheng strangled the nursing home nicknamed Hu Zi and threatened in a low voice: "Tell them there is nothing wrong. If you talk nonsense, today will be your death anniversary." He was gambling, if this nursing home is really like this
If he is stubborn and would rather die than give in, then he can only go home tonight and never take up the idea of drinking wine. Without the wine drinking, his next move will be a lot more troublesome, but it doesn't mean he can't continue.
The hand covering Huzi's mouth slowly released, Huzi's eyes moved, hesitated again and again, and finally chose to compromise, pretending to be nonchalant and replied: "I just had a toothache, something strange happened, it's okay.
Yes, everything is as usual up there, nothing happened. This is the territory of the Cao family, how can ordinary people dare to do evil things here?"
"You have to endure the toothache and don't make any more noise." A nurse from below shouted, and after that, he led the people to continue patrolling.
Huzi wanted to lower his voice and beg for mercy from Zhao Zheng behind him, but before he could say anything, he was hit on an acupuncture point and fainted.
Zhao Zheng put Hu Zi down and squatted on the roof for a while to confirm that the incident did not cause a bigger commotion. Then he breathed a little and continued to move forward. He moved forward on the roof, evading the numerous guards, and finally
We arrived at a small courtyard in the middle of the large courtyard. Above the courtyard door, there was a plaque for Lingquan Court.
As the name suggests, there is a spring with clear and sweet water in Lingquan Court. The Cao family used this spring to brew the unparalleled nine-bang spring wine. Next to this spring is the brewing workshop built by the Cao family, and
A wine cellar for storing wine. Apart from the spring well, workshop and wine cellar, there are no more buildings in this small courtyard.
The imperial wine that Zhao Zheng wanted to steal was in the wine cellar.
The wine cellar is an important place guarded by the Cao family. There are two powerful warriors guarding it. One is guarding the door and the other is guarding the inside of the wine cellar. If the situation in reality is consistent with the situation in the game, both of them should have fourth-level strength.
There were guards everywhere outside the Lingquan Court, but the inside of the Lingquan Court was deserted, with only the fourth-level Heavenly Warrior guarding the door. The man was in his forties and had a calm demeanor. He was sitting cross-legged next to the wellhead, meditating quietly.
As long as you defeat this man and the man guarding the wine cellar, you can get the royal wine. With this man guarding you, if you want to enter the wine cellar, you have to defeat him head-on. There is no other option.
Moreover, this battle must be fought quickly. Once it drags on for a little longer and alerts the guards outside, it will be impossible to steal the royal wine again.
Zhao Zheng was hiding behind the wall, brewing for a few breaths, his eyes were dazzled, and suddenly he sprang out from behind the wall, drew his sword and attacked the warrior in the middle of Lingquan Court. He almost killed the warrior in the blink of an eye.
As the warrior approached, golden light suddenly appeared on the sword, with an unparalleled cold glow. The strong internal force turned into sword energy and spit it out, like a golden dragon spitting water, which was unstoppable.
The warrior felt the strong wind coming towards his face, and suddenly opened his eyes. He dodged to one side with fear on his face, barely dodging the sword. A strand of hair on his forehead was cut off by the sword energy and fell to the side. He
Just as he was about to take off the metal flask hanging from his waist and fight back, the golden sword energy immediately turned around and chased after him, stabbing straight into his palm. If he continued to reach out, the hand would have to be cut off!
The warrior was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hands and stepped back. At the same time, he used the Cao family's secret skill "Strong Wine Burning Technique" to digest the wine he drank during dinner and temporarily enhance his own strength. His skin color instantly turned red.
, as if drunk, and at the same time, the hands become hot. There is a killer move in the Liquor Burning Technique, which can transfer the wine in the body to the palms of the hands, seep through the skin, and ignite it with the heated internal force, using the burning hands.
Attacking with the palm of your hand is extremely powerful.
Zhao Zheng tried his best as soon as he took action. His speed and internal strength were completely superior to that warrior. He didn't give the opponent a chance to breathe or counterattack. He slashed across with his sword again, forcing the warrior to turn over with an iron bridge.
He used his body to dodge. He seized this flaw and punched the warrior in pursuit. The fist burst out with golden light and struck the warrior in the lower abdomen.
The martial artist only felt that his stomach was surging, his internal energy was in chaos in his Dantian, his eyes went dark, and he almost fainted.
Zhao Zheng stepped forward and touched up again, tapping the two acupuncture points on the warrior's chest twice, all with heavy hands, and the internal force penetrated through the fingertips, directly into the acupuncture points, and penetrated deeply into them. The ones he hit
There are two acupoints: sleepiness and paralysis. As long as one of the acupoints is hit, the warrior can be restrained.
The warrior's acupoints were tapped, and his body no longer obeyed orders. He really fainted and would not wake up for a while.
This fight was so electric that it only took a few breaths to go back and forth. Apart from a few soft bangs, no sound was made.
Zhao Zheng was very successful. He grabbed the unconscious martial artist and tapped the acupuncture points twice to stabilize the effect. Then he dragged the sleeping martial artist back to his original position and assumed a posture of sitting cross-legged and practicing, so as not to attract attention later.
. He didn't stop, he took the time to walk to the wine cellar, swung his sword to cut off the door lock, opened the door and flew in. Although his movements were large, the movement he made was very small.
When you open the door, there is a brightly lit room inside. There is a ladder under the room leading to the underground wine cellar. In front of the ladder is guarding a person. Like the person just now, he is also a master of the Cao family who is responsible for guarding the Lingquan Court and the Royal Wine. He is old.
He was a bit older than the man outside, with a broad face, and he was holding a book in his hand. He was reading with gusto. When he saw someone rushing in, he quickly put down the book and looked at it intently.
"Who are you?" the Cao family warrior asked in surprise.
"The person who bought the wine." Zhao Zheng blurted out, and greeted him with the sword in his hand. While attacking, he hooked the door with his foot and closed the door again. His sword was as domineering as before, leaving no room for the opponent.
Any leeway seems to mean killing people on the spot.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Cao family warrior quickly dropped the scroll in his hand and dodged to the side. The situation was exactly the same as that of the warrior just now, and he was in the same embarrassment.
Zhao Zheng made a series of moves, forcing the Cao family warrior into a corner, unable to fight back.
Although Zhao Zheng's martial arts realm is the same as that of this Cao family martial artist, which is the fourth heaven, the gap between the two is huge. Zhao Zheng has already reached the middle stage of the fourth heaven, and he is practicing high-grade skills.
According to the "Nine Meridians and Six Yuan Jing", his two-dimensional internal force is more powerful and powerful than that of ordinary warriors, and is close to the fifth level of heavenly warriors. Therefore, Zhao Zheng's strength must firmly dominate this Cao family warrior.
As Zhao Zheng's realm improves, the advantages brought by practicing the "Nine Meridians and Six Yuan Jing" will become more and more obvious, widening the gap between him and martial artists of the same realm.
Of course, there are more than just "Nine Meridians and Six Yuan Jing" high-grade exercises in the world, and there are also top-grade exercises. If Zhao Zheng encounters an enemy who also practices high-grade exercises, he will not be able to gain the upper hand.
A martial artist with the best skills will be at a disadvantage.
This Cao family warrior was a bit more powerful than the one outside. Although he was also suppressed by Zhao Zheng, he took the time to remove the metal wine jar from his waist and used this weird weapon to defend himself, which slightly improved the battle situation.
Zhao Zheng was worried that the Cao family warrior was yelling, and seeing that the situation was not going well, he immediately accelerated his offensive and used the killing move "Overlord Changtu". The broad sword blade struck the Cao family warrior's wine jar with a sweeping sweep.
The powerful and heavy internal force was transmitted from the wine jar to the hands of the Cao family warriors, causing his wrists to go numb. As soon as his hand was released, the wine jar fell to the ground.
Zhao Zheng added insult to injury and kicked out, knocking the Cao family martial artist against the wall. The wall was hit with cracks, showing how powerful the force was. It wasn't that he was too harsh, but it was just that he couldn't deal with the fourth-level Heavenly warrior.
Otherwise, if the attack is light, the goal of defeating the opponent will not be achieved at all.
The Cao family warrior's throat felt salty and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face, which had turned red due to the strong alcohol burning technique, turned pale.
Zhao Zheng repeated his old tricks and used acupuncture techniques to point out the Cao family warrior, dragged him to the side of the chair, and put him on it.
Although the two warriors responsible for guarding Lingquan Court were seriously injured, they were not fatal injuries and there was no danger to their lives. They would be fine for a short period of time. Zhao Zheng only wanted to steal the wine he needed and did not want to kill anyone.
anyone.
"Huh, everything goes well. Next, I just need to take away two jars of imperial wine and leave a small amount of money as money to buy wine before leaving." Zhao Zheng looked at the unconscious Cao family warrior and thought to himself.
His action was still a bit risky. After bringing down two of the most troublesome warriors, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. After he got the two jars of wine, even if he was really discovered, with his ability,
Enough to leave safely. The biggest difficulty has been overcome, and the next thing will be easy.
He lit the fire, went down the ladder, went deep underground, and reached an underground passage. He walked forward for a while and reached the hinterland of the wine cellar. There were many doors on both sides, and behind each door
They all have wines of different qualities. Most of them are ordinary Jiu Niang spring wine, and only the deepest part has imperial wine for the emperor to drink.
Opening the deepest door, there is a large, simple room with many dark brown wine jars on the floor, each one covered with red paper.
Zhao Zheng did not go directly to get the wine here, because these were just ordinary nine-brew spring wine used to deceive others, and were not genuine. He counted on the spot for a while, found the fifth wine jar in the second row, and walked over
, grabbed it, and there was an obvious square mark under the wine jar. He smashed it according to the square mark, and the square mark immediately sank. It turned out to be a mechanism.
There was a sound on the wall, and a secret door opened, revealing a secret room. The wine stored in it was really reserved for the emperor to drink. The wine jars placed here were just a cover-up. They were made by the Cao family.
the last line of defense.
Zhao Zheng happily walked into the secret room, shining the firelight in his hand everywhere, looking for traces of Yujiu, but he was dumbfounded after just two glances, and stopped, showing an expression of disbelief.
The secret room is empty, there is nothing! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
