Chapter 528: Entering the Hall of Treasures at Night
Chen Shuncai is bandaging Qu Qiao's finger.
There were wounds on Qu Qiao's fingers.
Every evening at dusk, she wanted to make a drink for Chen Shuncai.
Every time she cut fruit, she would cut her finger, and it was the same finger.
After cutting her finger and bandaging the wound, she would go back to the room and sit silently, as if she had forgotten about Yinzi again.
Chen Shuncai didn't know what she was thinking because Qu Qiao couldn't speak.
Every day at midnight, she would smile at Chen Shuncai. At noon, she would walk in the yard. At Xu, she wanted to make drinks for Chen Shuncai. At other times, she would sit silently in the room.
Chen Shuncai was very satisfied. Even if Qu Qiao couldn't talk to him and had to do these things repeatedly for the rest of his life, he would still be very satisfied.
But he was worried about one thing, he was worried about what the masked man mentioned.
Does Qu Qiao want to live like this?
Qu Qiao still has a soul, which is left in the masked man's hand. If that soul is gone, Qu Qiao can neither reincarnate nor recover. Will his eternal life be ruined in this way?
Will her eternal life be destroyed by me?
For several days, Chen Shuncai was afraid of the masked man's appearance, but he was also looking forward to his appearance.
As soon as Qu Qiao's wound was bandaged, Chen Shuncai's heart suddenly trembled.
He walked silently to the yard and saw a man standing at the door of the yard.
It's not the masked man, it's an acquaintance.
"Chen Bingbi, long time no see."
"Master Ye Fang, you are always rare."
Ye Ansheng walked into the courtyard, and Chen Shuncai immediately blocked the door.
In Chen Shuncai's impression, Ye Ansheng only had a fourth-level cultivation level.
But the Mohist family is different from other Taoist sects. If they are fully prepared, they will become very difficult to deal with.
"Master Yefang, why do you come to my humble residence?"
"Coming to do business," Ye Ansheng simply replied, "As for business matters, someone told you before. Rescue the Empress Dowager and give her a piece of her soul."
Chen Shuncai laughed and said: "This business is not with you. If you want to discuss business, he has to do it himself."
"He can't come. I'm not here to discuss business with you. I'm here to help you do business. After the Queen Mother rescues her, she will still keep it in your hands. If you want anything in exchange, just ask him for it.
.”
Ye Ansheng said the conditions were fair.
Chen Shuncai thought for a moment, and he still remembered that the masked man once said that he wanted to find someone to help.
Chen Shuncai asked: "What benefits can you get from this business?"
Ye Ansheng was expressionless; "This has nothing to do with you."
Chen Shuncai asked again: "When shall we take action?"
Ye Ansheng said: "Since I'm here, naturally I will take action tonight."
Chen Shuncai nodded: "Sit down for a moment."
Chen Shuncai entered the house and said to Qu Qiao: "I'm going out to do business. You wait at home for me to come back."
Qu Qiao pulled Chen Shuncai's lapel, raised his head, and looked at Chen Shuncai quietly.
Although his face was expressionless, Chen Shun could feel that Qu Qiao was worried about him.
"Don't be afraid, just wait for me at home. If you are tired, just go to bed."
Chen Shuncai gently removed Qu Qiao's hand, changed into night clothes, came to the yard, and disappeared into the night with Ye Ansheng.
When they arrived near the palace, the two of them jumped in from the wall of the back garden without leaving.
The back garden of the imperial palace was very vast and was mainly where the emperor farmed.
The emperor would work in the backyard for a few days every year for a symbolic number of days, and the queen would plant mulberries and raise silkworms here, which showed that the emperor attached great importance to mulberry farming.
Passed through the backyard, bypassed Ruisi Hall, and came to the vicinity of Baoci Hall.
There are a large number of mechanisms arranged around Bao Ci Hall, some of which are left over from the ascetic workshop in those days. Ye Ansheng can naturally resolve this easily.
There is also a part left by bell ginseng, so you have to be very careful in trapping this part.
Zhong Shen is not only highly cultivated, but his ideas are also very unusual.
There are six levels of stone steps in front of the Bao Ci Hall. There is one level that cannot be walked. Once you go up, you will be sucked into a trap. There is acid corrosion liquid in the trap. Your upper body is stuck outside the trap, safe and sound, while your lower body is soaked in acid liquid.
There won't even be any bone residue left in it.
This will not only eliminate the intruder, but also identify the intruder.
The most incomprehensible thing is that this level of stone steps changes position every hour. One hour it was on the third level, the next hour it might be on the second level, and the next hour it might be on the sixth level.
There are no rules at all.
What level is it specifically? Outside of the Bao Ci Hall, in the bedroom of the eunuch in charge, there is a dice. What is the time on the dice? What level is the mechanism at the moment?
Why not skip this stone step? Just jump over all the six levels? Chen Shuncai and Ye Ansheng's cultivation level is so high, it should not be difficult to cross the six level stone steps.
Or wouldn't it be easier to skip the stone steps and just jump over the wall?
This is not enough.
Among the six stone steps, there is one that they must step on. If they don't step on it, all the traps will be triggered after entering the Baoci Hall.
At that time, even if the star official comes, he will not be able to save the empress dowager.
This level of stone steps will also change its position every hour. After the stone steps are changed, the mechanisms in the yard will be reset again.
Chen Shuncai had seen this kind of stone steps when he was still in the palace. At that time, Zhong Shen built a set of stone steps in the East Palace specifically to protect the prince.
Ye Ansheng squatted in front of the stone steps and spent half an hour, but could not crack the six stone steps.
Only then did Chen Shun realize how powerful the stone steps were, and he urged: "If you can't help it, think of another way quickly. In a while, the patrol guards will be here."
Ye Ansheng said: "What can you do?"
Chen Shuncai said: "I'll go to the eunuch in charge's room and take a look. There should be a dice there. If the dice is not in the eunuch's room, we can only wait until someone enters the Baoci Hall and then we can follow them in quietly.
"
Chen Shuncai quietly went to the room of the eunuch in charge, who had just fallen asleep.
The eunuch in charge had a fifth-grade cultivation level. Although he was inferior to Chen Shuncai, the eunuch's perception was extremely strong. Chen Shuncai was cautious and did not dare to make any sound.
He found a wooden box next to the pillow of the eunuch in charge, opened the box, and found a dice inside.
This is the characteristic of the palace. Once there is a successful precedent, everyone will implement it as usual. When we were in the East Palace, the eunuch in charge was in charge of the dice. He also used such a wooden box, and the wooden box was also placed next to the pillow.
This is the result of oral and heart-to-heart teaching of experience among the chamberlains.
Chen Shuncai took a look at the dice and saw that the dice showed five o'clock.
He took Ye Ansheng up the stone steps, crossed the fifth level of stone steps, and entered Baoci Hall.
Ye Ansheng looked at the stone steps with great reluctance. He could not think of such a mysterious construction method.
Chen Shuncai didn't want to waste time and urged Ye Ansheng to walk towards the main hall of Baoci Hall.
You must follow a fixed route, otherwise you will hit traps.
But Ye Ansheng had the eyesight and Chen Shuncai had the experience. The two of them successfully avoided all the traps and arrived near the main hall.
There were six chamberlains standing in front of the main hall. Ye Ansheng took out a quiver, shook the mechanism, and was about to fire the crossbow when Chen Shuncai stopped him.
There is no need to do such a thing. If the crossbow misses, the whereabouts will be exposed.
The six chamberlains guarding the gate are arranged on both sides of the gate, four of the seventh rank and two of the sixth rank. This is the rule in the palace.
Chen Shuncai is familiar with each of their positions, their functions, and even their accustomed coordination routines.
The two people standing by the door must be at the sixth level. They are the last line of defense.
The two servants standing outside were wearing heavy armor, and their main task was to delay time.
The two chamberlains in the middle have gongs on their bodies, and their job is to warn people.
So these two in the middle are the key.
Chen Shuncai suddenly appeared among the two rows of chamberlains. With his left and right hands pointing apart, he knocked down the two chamberlains in the middle.
After the two of them fell, no one would sound the gong to report the news, and the remaining four people could be dealt with calmly.
Chen Shuncai walked around among the four people and knocked them down one by one without even giving them a chance to shout. He was too familiar with these servants.
After knocking down the doorman, Chen Shun called Ye Ansheng to come over and open the door.
Ye Ansheng was dismantling the mechanism on the door when he suddenly saw a chamberlain hugging his leg.
Chen Shuncai quickly stepped forward to touch up his finger, and the chamberlain fainted.
Ye Ansheng looked at Chen Shuncai, somewhat puzzled.
"You didn't kill them?"
Chen Shuncai shook his head and did not explain.
His temperament has changed and he doesn't want to kill anyone unless necessary.
Not long after, the mechanism on the door was lifted, and the two of them entered the Bao Ci Hall.
The Queen Mother is still sleeping soundly in bed.
The Chaos Cultivator was so slow. When Chen Shun woke her up, the Queen's eyes widened and she said: "Chen Bingbi, why are you..."
Chen Shuncai covered her mouth: "Empress, don't talk too much, just follow me out of the palace."
The Queen Mother glanced at Ye Ansheng.
Ye Ansheng nodded slightly.
Chen Shuncai lowered his eyes and stared at Ye Ansheng. If he took a step forward at this moment, Chen Shuncai would immediately turn against him and kill him.
He wants to exchange the Queen Mother for a piece of Qu Qiao's soul. He will not hand over the Queen Mother to anyone until Qu Qiao's soul is complete.
Before the mechanism had been reset, the two of them took the Queen Mother over the wall and left Baoci Palace, and escaped from the palace quietly.
The three of them fled to the small courtyard where Chen Shuncai lived. From beginning to end, Ye Ansheng did not touch the Queen Mother.
Arriving in the courtyard, Ye Ansheng said: "Excuse me, Chen Bingbi, please take care of the Queen Mother for the time being. I'll bring the businessman over."
Chen Shuncai said: "Go back quickly. The emperor finds out that the Queen Mother is missing. He is afraid that the whole city will search for her."
Ye Ansheng said nothing, left Chen Shuncai's yard, and quietly returned to the ascetic workshop.
Long Xiulian was still waiting in the small room of Jiangzuo Building. When he heard Ye Ansheng's movements, he asked: "You are back so soon? Did you miss or succeed?"
Ye Ansheng said: "We succeeded."
"Where are people?"
"In Chen Shuncai's hands, he is still waiting to do business with you."
Long Xiulian said: "I didn't expect the palace guards to be so depleted. The two of you brought people out easily."
Ye Ansheng said expressionlessly: "That's because we are familiar enough with the palace, he is familiar with the people, and I am familiar with the institutions."
Long Xiulian said: "It seems that Chen Shuncai is still useful. We might as well use him a few more times. Come on, take me to Chen Shuncai's residence."
Ye Ansheng said: "I advise you not to play tricks with him and return the woman's soul to him. You should know his methods and your current situation. If you offend him, I'm afraid I won't be able to save him."
you."
Long Xiulian smiled: "Don't worry, he doesn't dare to touch me, not even for a moment." This chapter has been completed!
