"Dinner has just passed, and no one will want to eat snacks for a while. By the time anyone notices, we will have already confirmed the situation and left the palace."
Shang Yi said with a smile.
Even if someone discovers it, they will first suspect that the eunuch or the rough messenger is eating it secretly. By the time they find out, the time will have passed long ago.
Meng Qi had long regarded Shang Yi's elusiveness as normal, but the Demon Queen looked shocked and said:
"As expected of the Buddhist Shenzu Tong!"
Then she looked around, but did not see Lin Xiao's figure.
Shang Yi waved his hand and said:
"Don't look any further. The man who is coordinating outside the palace will wait until there is a commotion here. He and I will go back directly to contact the fourth prince. After all, it is a battle for the throne. Soldiers need to be quick!"
On the other side, Ruan Yushu was overjoyed and had already started to take action. She slid down the pillar quietly, took advantage of the few rough men watching the fire, stretched out her slender hands, and grabbed many pieces of pastries that did not need to be kept warm - only one piece in a pile, which made people feel uncomfortable.
No trace is visible.
Then she squatted down again, moved behind the steamer, used the steamer to block her sight, slowly lifted it up a gap, and grabbed a few pieces of pastry out.
She was careful and coherent throughout the whole process, as if she had rehearsed it many times in her mind.
Back on the beam, Ruan Yushu ate in small bites but quickly. Suddenly, she paused, pursed her lips hesitantly, and handed a piece to Meng Qi, her eyes always looking forward, as if she would regret it if she looked over it: "Here
your."
Meng Qi chuckled to himself, took it and stuffed it into his mouth without any courtesy. It tasted really good.
The Demon Queen closed her eyes and rested her mind, waiting for the night to deepen.
After more than half an hour, Yu Tongen gave a signal outside, and the four of them left the imperial dining room and found him in the corner of the garden.
After handing Shang Yi, Ruan Yushu and Meng Qiren three sets of guard uniforms, flying claw ropes and other items, he turned around and left. No one spoke during the whole process.
The three of them each found a hiding place and changed into their guard uniforms.
"I will take action in half an hour. Can you reach the Tai Chi Hall?" the Queen asked as usual.
There are many experts guarding the Tai Chi Hall. If there is no movement at the Qin Zheng Hall, the Queen will ask herself that it will be difficult to sneak in, so the timing must be right.
Meng Qi nodded and said, "No problem."
The main forces this time were Meng Qi and Ruan Yushu, and Shang Yi was trying to hold them back and not take action, so it was Meng Qi who the Queen asked.
There is a patrol route map and defense layout. The biggest problem is the guards of Taiji Hall. They should be able to reach the vicinity of the emperor's palace in half an hour.
The Demon Queen stopped talking and left slowly and slowly, her back swaying, as if she was merging into the darkness little by little, "really" merging into the darkness, and soon disappeared.
Meng Qi and the other three looked at each other without exchanging any words, and set off in the direction and route they had agreed upon before. They had the right timing along the way, and could always cross the corridor between the two groups of guards, when the guards on the rooftop were looking away.
Cross the doorway.
Not long after, the three of them were only one hall away from the Tai Chi Hall, but the guards here became more and more dense. Several teams of guards patrolled back and forth, and there was almost no time and place where their sight was blank. The pavilion where they were hiding was far away from the palace, so they could not
Forcefully use the magic of transformation to get past.
Meng Qi was well prepared. He took a deep breath, released his energy, and wrapped himself up. Ruan Yushu and Shang Yi climbed to the top of the pavilion like geckos, and flew out like strange birds, over the heads of the first team of guards.
Although it was said that it would be easier and safer for Shang Yi to take action, Meng Qi did not complain. This clearly meant that the good deeds were given to him, and it was just a contribution, so there was no need to say anything more.
Just like if you work overtime in the company, if your boss pays you enough overtime pay, you will be willing to live and work in the company!
Due to the effect of the Disguise Technique, the sound was weak and did not attract the attention of the guards.
In mid-air, Meng Qi was about to fall, and suddenly threw his flying claws, catching the eaves of a nearby palace.
Pa, when the flying claws catch the cornice, there is a slight sound.
At this moment, a guard's foot slipped and made a louder noise.
Meng Qi pulled hard, and his whole body flew into the air again, falling into the shadow of the roof. Ruan Yushu and Luo Shengyi also arrived almost at the same time.
Thanks to the Transformation Technique... Meng Qi said thankfully that this technique is now very ineffective in actual combat, but it is a god-level assistant for him.
Taking advantage of the guards' opportunity to question the guard, Meng Qi and the others jumped over the roof, jumped directly onto the wall, and hid on the wall near Tai Chi Hall.
There is a guard every dozen steps outside Tai Chi Hall, and there are also several people on the roof, all of whom are masters with bulging temples.
The weather was good, the cold moon was dim, and the night was dark. Meng Qi and the other three were lying on the wall, quietly waiting for the change in the direction of Qinzheng Hall.
Time passed little by little, and suddenly, there was a loud noise from the Qinzheng Hall, as if the roof collapsed and the beams collapsed. Then, a dull sound erupted, like two palm winds driven by strong internal forces colliding together.
Meng Qi could vaguely see the paper flying on the windows of Qinzheng Hall and the flickering candlelight.
Such a big movement was naturally sensed by the guards guarding the Taiji Hall. They raised their swords and held their swords, looking slightly nervous and alert. Many people rushed to the Qinzheng Hall to help, and the scene suddenly became a bit chaotic.
"Stop!" Just when Meng Qi and the others were about to take this opportunity to sneak into Tai Chi Hall, the leader of the guards shouted loudly, stopping the guards from their spontaneous impulse.
He said loudly: "Our duty is to protect the emperor. Even if the landslide and the earth are torn apart, we cannot leave our post without permission! Brothers, please don't fall into the enemy's plan of attacking in the east and attacking in the west. If the right minister needs help, he will send a message to you!"
Being able to become a leader and command the people, the emperor and right minister favored him because he was calm and good at keeping things calm.
The guards returned to their original positions one after another, looking outside with vigilance, their eyes focused, not letting go of any slightest movement.
Meng Qi's heart sank. In such a situation, even if he had the magic of transfiguration, he couldn't even think of sneaking into the Tai Chi Palace. After all, these guards were all top-notch masters. The worst they could do was to open their eyes.
It can directly interfere with their senses, otherwise the effect of "ignoring" just by wrapping the whole body with a weak spirit will not be very good.
Sure enough, one cannot treat the enemy as a fool... Meng Qi took a breath and transmitted the secret message to Luo Shengyi, the second plan.
During the previous discussion, they were not careless. They deduced all possible situations and made plans respectively. The current situation was also expected.
The three of them each performed their duties, and according to the agreement, Shang Yi and Ruan Yushu took action to cause chaos, while Meng Qi quietly sneaked in to check on the emperor's situation.
Meng Qi "flyed" to the door of the apse, pressed it with his left hand, shattered the secret lock, and ducked in.
Suddenly, two figures appeared in front of him. They stood near the door of the hall, unmoved by the chaos outside, holding their swords cautiously, but he did not expect someone to push the door open and come in directly.
It’s really a layer of defense! Meng Qi’s mind was calm, he tiptoed a little, and his body movements suddenly accelerated, like a ghost.
When we got here, we were very close to the house where the old emperor was unconscious. His plan was to break through forcefully! Fight with speed against slowness!
Anyway, I don't want to assassinate him, I just want to confirm his condition. When the time comes, whether it's by popping stones or knocking on the mountain to shake the tiger, there will be a way to do it, and I can escape before the encirclement.
Meng Qi stepped in front of the two guards and stabbed with his long sword, which was crooked and completely violated the principles of swordsmanship.
The tip of this sword changed erratically, but it was known for its speed. It struck last and struck first, stabbing the two guards in the throat before they could lift their swords to intercept.
They subconsciously flashed, swung their swords, and shouted "There is an assassin" in their throats.
Meng Qi's long sword suddenly changed from stabbing to swinging, and with a flash of sword light, two guards covered their throats, and He He fell to the ground, with blood flowing out from between his fingers.
In less than two moves, they were dead on the spot, unable to even shout "There is an assassin"!
The Dugu Nine Swords are really a weapon to torture people... Meng Qi couldn't help but sigh. As long as he didn't meet a master above the quasi-human pinnacle in this world, the Dugu Nine Swords could quickly resolve the battle without the need for Ananda's sword skills.
After the two guards fell, Meng Qi used "Seize the Wind and Shadow", sweeping through the hall like a strong wind and flashing into the corridor. The place with four masters guarding the door in front was the "Ziji Pavilion" where the old emperor was sleeping unconsciously.
.
Meng Qi's heart moved, and he suddenly turned the golden bell with all his strength, his shoulders sank, and he hit the wall hard.
After practicing the Qi Accumulation Chapter of "Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills" for a period of time, his strength has greatly increased, and the sixth level of the golden bell cover has already entered the entrance. Between the flashes of dark gold, there was a dull bang, and bricks and stones flew across the wall.
There is a large human-shaped hole.
Hum, you guard the door, I'll walk on the wall!
Save time!
But there's something wrong with this style of painting... It looks like a humanoid tank... Meng Qi flashed into the "Purple Ji Pavilion", raised his toes, and four stones flew up and hit the eyebrows of the four masters, while Meng Qi's figure
In a flash, he appeared beside the emperor.
Sure enough, although the emperor was lying on the bed peacefully and seemed to be fine, he was not breathing. He had obviously been dead for a long time!
At the same time, a voice came from Meng Qi’s ear:
"Meng Qi, it's done. I found the little eunuch! Fortunately, we acted fast enough and he was almost silenced!"
It was Shang Yi's voice.
It turns out that Shang Yi entered the imperial city not only to help Meng Qi, but also to use his own magical power to find the eunuch who obeyed orders and added ingredients to the emperor's medicine!
After taking action, Shang Yi targeted this person with his clairvoyance, and after Meng Qi entered, he used his divine foot power to appear next to the little eunuch with Ruan Yushu, rescued him, and suppressed the person who silenced him!
Shang Yi took action at this time because if the prince was not stupid, he would not let the young eunuch know too much.
But the person who silenced him must know more. If he could come to the palace to silence him, he must be someone whom the prince trusted. With this person as a witness, the prince would not be able to say anything even if he had a hundred mouths.
Moreover, the left prime minister is also a smart man. Lin Xiao has already gone to see the left prime minister. There are young eunuchs who have been arrested, there are men who have silenced him, and there are left prime minister’s confessions. Even if the prince has the support of the right prime minister and Ruyi monk, he will not
Got it!
On the other side, Meng Qi felt a strange aura of demonic power next to the emperor. He reached out and picked up a cloth bag beside the emperor. He immediately understood that what was wrapped in it was the demon spar.
"Is this something similar to the Evil Emperor's relic?"
Meng Qi muttered something strange.
His body flashed back to avoid the attacks of the four masters. At the same time, he touched the Demon Lord Crystal with his right hand. He always felt that this crystal had a great attraction to him. He even forgot that this was the palace. Just now Shang Yi had already
Say something to make yourself retreat.
Soon, Meng Qi touched the cold stone and felt very strange. It seemed that it was not a lifeless stone, but a dead creature with flesh and blood.
The palm of his hand came into contact with the Demon Lord's Crystal, and the heat and coldness mixed together. Meng Qi smiled and stopped his hand.
At this moment, a strange change occurred. Meng Qi felt a surge of pure essence pouring out of the Demon Lord's crystal and pouring into his body, as if he was filled with domineering force regardless of his own wishes!
The essence poured into the meridians, stretching Meng Qi's body as if it was going to explode. There was no way to shake the crystal away. He could only run the golden bell with all his strength, absorbing the pure essence into his body, without any impurities, as if it had grown naturally.
Jingyuan!
The dark gold was restrained, and Meng Qi devoted all his energy to digesting and absorbing the essence. He could only barely stand up, as if he was carrying a heavy burden!
At this moment, Meng Qi understood why the old emperor passed out because he was too hasty when he first absorbed him. He didn't want to! Just like he doesn't want to now either!
In Meng Qi's heart, ten thousand grass and mud horses roared past, but he had to restrain his mind and work hard to digest and absorb the essence.
With the crazy absorption of essence, the sixth level of the Golden Bell Barrier quickly improved, but Meng Qi was not happy at all, because the four masters had already attacked him again.
At the critical moment, Meng Qi instinctively threw a punch. This is a boxing technique that he will practice day and night after practicing this boxing. On the surface, it is also the most common Arhat boxing.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But at this moment, Meng Qi punched out, and golden light bloomed all over his body. The essence that was freely impacting in the body was no longer as scary as before under the training of boxing skills.
Instead, he was directly subdued by the boxing technique, and was pressed into his body for him to slowly absorb and improve his strength.
"The Great Freedom Vajra has magical power to subjugate demons. It can subdue not only external demons, but also your own demons and the demons in your heart. Only by subduing the demons in your heart can you gain great freedom!"
In the palace, Meng Qi fell into a state of enlightenment. His body was filled with golden light and was indestructible. No matter how much swords were struck on his body, it could not penetrate that layer of golden light.
At the same time, the Golden Bell successfully broke through the sixth level and was even improving. Moreover, after the Golden Bell was used, Meng Qi's figure did not become burly as before, but remained the same as before.
"There's an assassin!"
Seeing that there was nothing they could do to defeat Meng Qi, the four masters shouted for help.
"There's an assassin!"
Two more guards appeared. After shouting in unison, they pulled out the swords from their waists and attacked Meng Qi from different directions. As personal guards, the emperor was stabbed. They had to show off no matter what, in order to avoid death afterwards.
But he still couldn't hurt Meng Qi at all.
People in this reincarnation world think that Meng Qinai is the "Shocking Sword" and is good at swordsmanship. The six gates in the real world think that Meng Qinai is a mad monk with thunder swords and his sword skills are terrible. But what Meng Qi is best at is actually Shang Yi.
The unique skill "Great Freedom Vajra's Magical Power of Conquering Demons" was taught to him in the first world of reincarnation.
"Hey, Meng Qi has a good opportunity. Not only did he obtain the Demon Lord's treasure, but he also entered into enlightenment. Let's take him away as soon as possible!"
Shang Yi said and appeared next to Meng Qi with Ruan Yushu. Perhaps because he did not feel the danger, Meng Qi did not take action against Shang Yi.
Shang Yi, on the other hand, held Ruan Yushu's waist with his right hand and held Meng Qi with his left hand. He floated up and flew away, shouting loudly at the same time:
"The prince committed regicide! The left prime minister drugged him! The emperor died!"
Ruan Yushu did not shout, maintaining his aloof image. Anyway, it was enough if someone shouted.
At the same time, the Queen's men hidden in the palace also shouted throughout the imperial city:
"The prince committed regicide! The left prime minister drugged him! The emperor died!"
Soon, the entire imperial city was boiling. The emperor died, or was it the prince's fault?
"The prince regicide! The left prime minister drugged the emperor! The emperor died!" I don't know when, the same voice sounded from all over the imperial city, and these words echoed everywhere.
This is the eunuchs and guards bribed by the third, fourth and seventh princes fishing in troubled waters to create opportunities for their masters.
As for the people caught by Shang Yi and Ruan Yushu, they had been controlled by Shang Yi and hidden outside the imperial city.
Meng Qi just woke up from his epiphany and said to Shang Yi:
"Senior Brother Huaikong, your inference is correct, the Demon Lord Crystal is indeed in the hands of the old emperor!"
As he spoke, he spread out his left hand, revealing the Demon Lord Crystal. It was empty, with no gelatinous invisible objects, and no dark yellow feeling. It was transparent, colorless, cold and cool:
"As soon as I get the demon, I will be filled with essence..."
Shang Yi smiled and said:
"That's your chance. The golden bell shield has improved to a higher level, and your understanding of the magical power of the Great Freedom Vajra to subjugate demons has deepened!"
Meng Qi felt that this spar could contain essence and was considered a rare item. It was very similar to the legendary Evil Emperor's relic, so he took out the black cloth that looked like fur but was not fur, and prepared to wrap the spar.
