Chapter 2: Bloodshed on the battlefield and escape from the Immortal Gate
Chapter 88 Empress
"Hey, here..."
After Jiang Meiliang was let go by Ye Feng, his face turned slightly red and he didn't blame anything. He quickly looked around and frowned slightly as he pondered.
"Sister, have you been here?"
Ye Feng heard what Jiang Meiliang meant and couldn't help but ask.
"It looks like the inner city of the palace, but I can't be sure. After all, I've only been here once."
"Ah! That Ice Phoenix Totem..."
When Ye Feng heard that it was the inner city of the palace, he couldn't help but become nervous. He raised his hand and tried to pull Jiang Meiliang behind him.
No wonder he was nervous. Jiang Meiliang had said before that the inner city of the palace was guarded by the Ice Phoenix Totem. Anyone who broke in without permission would be strangled.
Although he didn't know how powerful the strangulation was, no one had ever succeeded in breaking in for tens of thousands of years, so he didn't think he was capable of dealing with it.
"It's okay. We should be in the inner city now. The Ice Phoenix Totem will only strangle us when we break in. Once we get in, we'll be fine."
Jiang Meiliang slapped away Ye Feng's hand and smiled slightly.
"Oh! You didn't tell me earlier, it scared me to death!"
"Grrrr, don't you understand such a simple truth? If we continue to strangle people inside, then the emperor will be the only one in the inner city, so the Ice Phoenix Totem is used to guard the gate."
"Haha! That's right. The emperor can't be alone here!"
Ye Feng smiled awkwardly.
"Actually, it's not necessarily the inner city of the palace, it's just that the buildings are somewhat similar."
Jiang Meiliang pointed to a huge and magnificent building not far away and said.
"cough!"
Ye Feng shook his head. He didn't know how to answer the question. He didn't understand anything anyway, and what happened today was too wonderful, so he had no choice but to listen to Jiang Meiliang.
"We have to walk forward. The main hall looks like the Purple Gold Palace, but I've seen it from the front and now from the back, so I'm not sure."
Jiang Meiliang looked around carefully and said.
"Then what should we say if we meet someone? Could it be that we fell into a pit and came out here?"
"How do I know! Why have you become so timid all of a sudden? You're already here. No matter where you are, you have to find a way to get out."
Ye Feng, who usually talks little, turned out to be verbose and acted like a thief. Jiang Meiliang was also baffled.
"Haha! I feel embarrassed just running into someone's house!"
Ye Feng said with a smile.
"Hmph! Let's go!"
After Jiang Meiliang finished speaking, he jumped up like a butterfly jumping off the rockery.
"Who dares to break into the Imperial Garden without permission?"
As soon as Jiang Meiliang landed, a dozen sergeants rushed out from the corridor in front of him. The first one pulled out his saber with a clang and shouted loudly.
"You don't even know me?"
Looking at the sergeants surrounding him, Jiang Meiliang didn't panic at all and asked calmly.
"Hey! What a beautiful woman, I wonder which empress you are?"
The leading sergeant obviously didn't know Jiang Meiliang, but he also knew that it was impossible for outsiders to break in here. He was very confused for a moment and could only ask tentatively.
"Hmph! Who are you? You dare to look directly at me without kneeling down!"
As soon as the sergeant opened his mouth, Jiang Meiliang knew that this was indeed the inner city of the palace. He naturally knew what the sergeant was thinking, and he pretended to drink it at the moment.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
The leading sergeant was obviously frightened. With a thud, he knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists, lowered his head and said loudly:
"Jiang Cheng, the last general, is the centurion of the daily patrol. Since he was on duty at night last month, today he has just switched to day patrol. I didn't know that the queen came into the palace. Please forgive me!"
As soon as the officer knelt down, a dozen spearmen behind him also knelt down and shouted in unison:
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
"snort!"
Jiang Meiliang snorted coldly, and the sergeants immediately lowered their heads, and no one dared to look up at her anymore.
"Xiao Liuzi, don't come down yet!"
After Jiang Meiliang restrained the sergeants, he turned to Ye Feng and smiled proudly.
"Well!"
Ye Feng was stunned by Jiang Meiliang's playful tricks, but luckily he reacted immediately and said in a sharp voice:
"The slave will serve the master back to the palace while he is here!"
After saying that, Ye Feng jumped off the rockery, raised his arm, let Jiang Meiliang catch him, and walked away pretending to be helpful.
"Boss, that's not right! This is the imperial garden in the front area. Aren't all the ladies in the back area? This..."
Ye Feng and Jiang Meiliang walked away slowly, and they could hardly hear their footsteps. A sergeant raised his head and said doubtfully.
"That's right, and the little eunuch, he's wearing something messy, something's wrong!"
Another sergeant also said with a confused look.
"If I tell you to take a peek, you won't want to live, right?"
Jiang Cheng stood up and slapped the sergeant on the face, glaring angrily.
"Boss, I only saw them when they walked by!"
The sergeant covered his red and swollen cheeks and said aggrievedly.
"You can't watch it even after it has passed. You have forgotten how Lao Si and his team died. You want to kill us."
Jiang Cheng said very dissatisfied.
"It is my fault!"
The sergeant was so frightened that he quickly admitted his mistake.
"Idiot, this inner city is impregnable. How can anyone break in? The patrol is just a pretense. Why do you care so much? I'm warning you, if you don't want to die, don't look directly at the emperor's concubines. The emperor is very jealous.
It’s here!”
Jiang Cheng was still very satisfied with the sergeant's attitude, so he didn't care about it anymore and instead lowered his voice and said.
"yes!"
The sergeants stood up one after another and responded in low voices.
In fact, all the sergeants knew that the emperor was obviously a bit perverted. He had been under house arrest in the palace for the past few years, unable to do anything, and his temper became increasingly weird.
In recent years, in addition to providing necessary daily necessities, the inner city has been completely sealed off. The emperor's only pleasure is the concubines in the harem, so anyone who takes a second look will definitely be severely punished.
Ye Feng and Jiang Meiliang naturally didn't know about this. When Jiang Meiliang went to the border, the emperor was not yet under house arrest, so his personality would not be so weird. Of course, even if he was, Jiang Meiliang didn't know about it.
Just now, Jiang Meiliang was just trying to fool the soldiers out of haste, but unexpectedly, she actually managed to fool the sergeants, which she didn't expect.
This was originally the imperial garden. When the two of them passed through a corridor, they left and their eyes became wider.
"It is indeed the Jinluan Palace!"
Not long after walking, they arrived at the magnificent hall. Jiang Meiliang stopped and looked at the square in front of the hall and confirmed.
"It's so strange. How did we end up in the inner city of the palace?"
Ye Feng was still confused, and it was really hard to understand.
"I'm actually thinking that the stone sword already hides secrets. Could this secret passage be one of the secrets? If so, it won't be that simple for us to get here."
Jiang Meiliang was actually just as confused, but she quickly accepted it and began to think carefully.
