Five people were sitting in a partition. Chen Yunsheng scanned the surroundings with his spiritual mind many times, but found no monks, and then asked: "How is your investigation going?"
Yi Xiaoyun first said: "The royal family here is the younger brother of the King of Lingyang, named Kuixiong. They are not born from the same mother, and they are quite different in age. This person's cultivation has reached the late stage of Jindan, not far from Yuanying
The imperial city is located in the center of Yeyi City with a radius of 100 acres. As far as I know, Kui Xiong is brave by nature and makes friends with casual cultivators all over the world. He is dissatisfied with his brother's succession to the head of Lingyang and secretly recruits troops. However, he also has a good way of running a business.
Yeyi City's business developed under his leadership."
"How are the guards around?" Chen Yunsheng asked.
"We can't enter the interior of the imperial city and don't know the status of the guards inside. There are four teams of guards outside the imperial city, each with seven people, rotating every two hours. These people are ordinary people and there are no monks." Wang Mao was standing aside.
replied.
"I heard from a gatekeeper that Kui Xiong seems not to be in the city today. He went to the East China Sea to hunt sea beasts. It will take some time to come back. This is probably why there are not many guards here." Wang Mao continued.
"If this is the case..." Chen Yunsheng lowered his head and pondered for a while, then released his powerful spiritual consciousness. In an instant, the scene within a ten-mile radius was reflected in his sea of consciousness. The water in the teacup on the table actually trembled slightly, and the water in front of Yi Xiaoyun's forehead
Qingsi windless automatic.
There was a look of surprise on Wang Mao's face, and even the Yi brothers and sisters saw Chen Yunsheng release his spiritual consciousness for the first time. After three breaths, Chen Yunsheng closed his eyes, a trace of blue light appeared on his forehead, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Another time passed.
After a cup of tea, he stood up and ordered Yingjian to take a few juniors back to Babel Tower first.
Yi Xiaoyun was a little worried about her master, and said flatly: "If master doesn't leave, I won't leave either."
Chen Yunsheng had a doting attitude toward his second apprentice, and there were only two reasons for it. The girl's fierce resistance left a deep impression on him. Another reason was that Yi Xiaoyun's persistence often made him not know what to do.
.
"You are indeed in my way." Chen Yunsheng said helplessly.
Yi Xiaoyun had no choice but to follow Yingjian and disappear at the end of the road.
Chen Yunsheng rubbed the center of his eyebrows that were a little painful due to over-casting the spell. He chose a suitable position, laid his body flat, and closed his eyes comfortably. On the surface, it looked like he was taking a nap, but in fact, he was recovering his soul. Just now he was using all his strength
Although the use of spiritual consciousness did not consume much, there was inevitably going to be a tough battle tonight, and it would not be a bad thing to be more prepared.
Half an hour later, Chen Yunsheng's consciousness returned to its best state. It was now late afternoon, and although the late autumn sun was dazzling, it was not warm. Pedestrians on the street shrank their necks to avoid the biting autumn wind from invading their necks.
Chen Yunsheng's body suddenly turned into a ball of blue water vapor, floating in the air. Since the color of the sky was pure blue, this ball of water vapor was difficult to detect. He flew lightly towards the rows of golden buildings.
The glazed tiles reflected the autumn sun, bursting out with a dazzling halo.
When he was probing with his spiritual consciousness just now, Chen Yunsheng discovered several huge magic circles, but none of them were opened. The remaining magic circles were very small, and he only needed to consciously avoid them.
Floating to the sky above a palace, looking at the entire building complex, this palace was the largest and should be a place for discussion. There were two guards standing at the door of the palace, holding two long swords in their hands.
He floated towards the palace at the back again, and saw fewer and fewer people coming and going below, and the guards disappeared. The surrounding scenery became softer, with tall trees and huge flowers everywhere.
It seems that the back house in the imperial city should be where the female family members live.
Drifting past several criss-crossing paths, Chen Yunsheng found a quaint small courtyard in front of him. There were no extra flowers and plants in the small courtyard, and there was a small wooden house in the middle of the courtyard. The magic circles at the four corners of the courtyard were opened, and the shadow outside the courtyard was revealed.
In the middle, there are four guards standing. They exude a faint spiritual trace, and they all have cultivation levels in the middle and late stages of foundation building.
Chen Yunsheng thought in his mind that with these four people guarding this place, even if his two apprentices went there in person, they might not be able to capture them. Moreover, there was a magic circle to protect them, so it seemed that the target was chosen inappropriately.
He was hesitating whether to go down and get rid of the four guards in advance. At this moment, the door of the cabin opened, and a short and fat middle-aged man walked out. This man had no aura and seemed to be an ordinary person.
When the middle-aged man served as four guards, all four of them saluted him. When the middle-aged man walked away, the four guards looked disdainful and murmured a few words to each other.

closure
Chen Yunsheng thought to himself that it seemed that this middle-aged man played the role of a housekeeper. Although he did not have any cultivation skills, he had a high status in the prince's residence. Even several monks had to nod and bow to him.
He moved forward gently and followed the short, fat middle-aged man. The middle-aged man walked very slowly, and his fat body could not walk a few steps before stopping to rest for a while. Finally, he stopped at a chic building.
In front of the small courtyard, he took out a bunch of brass keys from his arms and prepared to open the brass lock hanging on the door.
Seeing no one around, Chen Yunsheng floated down from the sky, and the blue mist instantly condensed into an entity. He stretched out two fingers and gently touched the fat man's neck. A stream of pure spiritual energy pierced out, and
The middle-aged man's meridians were in chaos, his body swayed twice and he fell to the ground.
Before coming down, Chen Yunsheng had already used his spiritual consciousness to explore the attic in front of him several times. He picked up the middle-aged man and floated into the attic. Then he closed the door. He put the middle-aged man on the ground and Chen Yunsheng kicked it away.
Two air pockets on his body were opened. After a while, the middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes and saw a strange young man standing in front of him.
First it was anger, and then it turned into fear. The change in the expression on the middle-aged man's face was a bit complicated. He didn't yell. He had learned to deal with internal affairs in the mansion for many years. He knew that if he was not careful at this time, he would be fatal.
worry.
Chen Yunsheng looked at the fat man and whispered: "I have a few questions to ask you. If you tell me, you don't have to die."
The middle-aged man nodded and cautiously stood opposite Chen Yunsheng. He knew that the other party would not attack him until he got the answer he wanted. He began to think about how to save his life and send his attacker away at the same time.
Into the grave.
"Where did you come out just now?"
The middle-aged man looked at Chen Yunsheng nervously, and his heart twitched. It turned out that the other party had been staring at him for a long time.
"It's just a warehouse for the other party's old things. There's nothing special about it. I'm the housekeeper here. You know, I always need to do things that ordinary people don't want to do. For example, organize the warehouse." The middle-aged man also felt guilty for his lame lies.
He felt guilty, but he couldn't find a better way to say it, and he couldn't tell the other person where that place was.
Chen Yunsheng looked at the awkward middle-aged man with a sharpness like a spear in his eyes.
"You are lying. That means the items stored there are not as simple as miscellaneous items. The value of your use is declining. If you don't tell me the answer readily in exchange for some sympathy, the result is likely to be death."
Facing the other party's cold words, the middle-aged man's defense was completely lost.
"There is a temporary warehouse in the palace. It stores some collected items that have not yet been classified and stored. Some of them are more precious, but most of them are mediocre items. Otherwise, the guard would not be as simple as just four people."
The middle-aged man used a smooth tone to cover up the fact that he had just lied. This way of speaking could make the other party feel that his lie was not serious.
"Where are the palace's spiritual stones stored?"
Chen Yunsheng asked what he was concerned about. He didn't have much interest in the mundane things confiscated by the palace.
The middle-aged butler breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. His round face gradually relaxed, his two small eyes narrowed into a straight line, and he said with a smile: "The prince often said that anything that can be solved with spiritual stones is not a big deal.
.Your Excellency thinks that you are practicing hard and don't have much money for a while. If you encounter this situation, you can tell the villain directly, our prince is also a good person, and you will definitely be satisfied."
If Chen Yunsheng didn't have the idea of that small courtyard at the beginning, because of the strange change in the other party's expression, he had to re-examine his decision. When the other party heard him mention the spirit stone, he acted very relaxed and completely unaware.
Mind you, obviously the objects stored in that cabin are much more precious than the spiritual stones.
"Oh? If that's the case, it would seem that I'm a bit arrogant."
The coldness in Chen Yunsheng's expression was lessened.
"May I ask how many spiritual stones you need? I will go get them for you."
Seeing the change in Chen Yunsheng's expression, the middle-aged housekeeper was heartbroken and spoke rather briskly.
"But I don't have the habit of picking off people's words. I'm used to taking advantage of others. Please tell me where I can find enough spiritual stones."
Chen Yunsheng waved his hand, signaling the middle-aged man not to move.
"There are two places where spirit stones are stored. One is called Naling and the other is called Zangqi. They are both inconspicuous attics. They are far away from here. I am afraid that even if I tell you, you may not be able to find them. It is better to let
I'll do it for you." The middle-aged man said reluctantly.
"Say it. If you say it, you don't have to die. I can kill one less person."
Although Chen Yunsheng's tone was much gentler, the word "death" sent chills down the middle-aged man's back, making him understand that he had no intention of letting him go.
"The Naling Pavilion is on the west side of the palace near the Central Yang Hall. The Qi Zang Pavilion is under the Central Yang Hall. The number of spiritual stones in the Naling Pavilion is smaller."
In order to save his life, the middle-aged man had to tell the truth. If the spiritual stone was stolen, the person guarding the spiritual stone would definitely suffer, and who could doubt him?
Chen Yunsheng nodded, and the other party was not lying, because when he passed by just now, he clearly felt that the spiritual energy there was stronger. Although there were some magic circles that sealed the spiritual energy, he could still detect some clues from them with his powerful spiritual consciousness.
"So, what should I do with you?"
Chen Yunsheng looked at the middle-aged fat man's face. (First release:)
