Zeng Yi and the four of them were discussing how to find out the old man's specific identity. At this time, a eunuch who had just followed the old man came in with tea, "Dear guests, this is the tea given by the prince, please use it with caution!"
As he was about to leave, Zeng Yi quickly stopped the eunuch and said, "Eunuch, we didn't know the identity of the prince just now. I wonder if your father-in-law can tell us a few things so that we won't be rude!"
"Haha! This is the uncle of our King Wusun. He is very powerful, but he doesn't like power. He has been living in the palace to protect the safety of the palace!"
"Living in the palace?" You need to know the general situation. Royal families in various countries, even their biological sons, will move out of the palace once they reach adulthood. After all, there are many beauties in the harem. If someone accidentally misfires, the emperor will be in trouble. Zeng Yi is very worried about this.
Confuse!
"Our prince is the great king's uncle, and he is over eighty years old. He has been practicing martial arts in Shengquan Palace on weekdays!"
After the eunuch left, the four of them got together again to discuss! "Holy Spring Palace! When I heard the name, I knew it must be related to the bell and the spiritual spring!"
"Of course, my son is worried, let alone an uncle. If a grown man stays in the palace and says there is no problem, then there is something wrong with him!"
"What should I do if this guy knows the clock and the spiritual spring?"
"Then find a way to kill him!"
...
After discussing for a while, the four of them decided to explore the old man's true and false status first. The old man was very strong. If he were to be tough, he would not be able to take down the old man at once. If the guards were recruited, the four of them would not be able to withstand it! The task of exploring the true and false of the old man was entrusted to him.
After Zeng Yi, this guy thought about it and decided to play a big game!
"Fourth, give me your fast jade token. With this jade token, I don't believe that the old man won't take the bait. Maybe he can even figure out the pass code!"
The fourth child glanced at him suspiciously and handed him the jade token, "Just take it easy and don't take it off! This thing is a treasure!"
"rest assured!"
After getting the jade token, Zeng Yi stepped out of the room. At this time, the sky outside had darkened. After Zeng Yi walked out of the room, he was spotted by the guards around him, "Sir, it's already getting late. I wonder what you want.
?”
"Please also inform the prince that I have something important to report, it is very urgent!" The guard was very hesitant, but looking at Zeng Yi, it was something important! After hesitating for a moment, he hurried to report the matter!
After a while, the guard ran back and said to Zeng Yi: "Your Majesty, please come with me!"
Following the guards, we passed through various palaces and came to a palace close to the cliff. The palace was not small in size. There was a piece of stool hanging on the main hall with three gilded characters "Holy Spring Palace" written on it!
Arriving at a side hall, the guard loudly said: "Your Majesty, we have brought you here!"
"Invite your distinguished guest to come in!"
The guard pushed open the palace door and Zeng Yi walked in. The side hall was the old man's residence. The furnishings inside were very simple. It didn't look like a prince's residence at all. It could also be seen from here that this old guy was obsessed with martial arts!
Asking Zeng Yi to sit down, the old man smiled and said, "I wonder what your guest is doing?"
Zeng Yi looked at the people around him and quietly flashed the jade sign. As soon as the old man saw the jade sign, a surprised expression appeared on his face. Then he returned to his original expression and said with a smile: "You guys step back, I will
Have a chat with your distinguished guest!"
The palace maids and guards retreated, and the old man stood up with a serious expression! "Why do you have this jade plaque!"
"I guess the prince also recognized the jade plaque. Yes, it was His Highness the Crown Prince who gave it to me! In fact, this is my biggest purpose in coming to Wusun City!"
"Prince?"
"Yes! Your Majesty can't help it. The situation on the front line has changed. The coalition forces have blocked it. The news cannot spread at all. Only a Central Plains businessman like me has a chance, so His Highness the Crown Prince asked me to complete this mission!"
"what news?"
Zeng Yi looked around and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "The king and the prince have reviewed the situation and are ready to defect to the coalition forces!"
"What!" The old man stood up immediately!
"My lord, please don't worry. You don't understand the situation in the rear. The coalition forces have already gained a huge advantage. It will be a matter of time before the Western Region Alliance is breached. The king and the prince are just leaving a way out for Wusun!"
The old man was silent, his brows furrowed, and Zeng Yi continued: "Your Highness, you want me to tell you something, asking you to prepare ten drops of water!"
Hearing this, the old man's eyes sharpened. Zeng Yi was now sure that the old man definitely knew about Zhong** Lingquan! "Mad! It seems I can't keep you!"
Zeng Yi looked very puzzled: "I don't understand what the prince meant, but the prince said it's okay for me to tell you what I said!"
"Did the prince tell you how to deal with this water?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked us to take it back because it is needed urgently! We will return to Yuezhi City tomorrow! If the prince is ready, he can leave it to us tomorrow!"
The old man was silent again, and after a while, he smiled and said, "Thank you, sir, for passing on the news!"
"Then you're busy, I'll go back and rest first!" Zeng Yi stood up and left the side hall! The old man kept watching Zeng Yi leave, and then closed the door of the hall. Zeng Yi noticed that the old man returned to the side hall without saying a word.
He said that he would turn back and jump on the roof of the main hall of Shengquan Palace!
The wind blew on the roof for a while, and then I heard the sound of the door opening. The old man walked out of the side hall and came to the front of the main hall! He looked around and saw that no one was there. He quickly opened the door and went in. When he saw the old man walking into the main hall, he jumped down as lightly as a swallow.
He climbed up to the roof, ran to the window, and checked what was going on inside!
In the Holy Spring Palace, it turned out to be the ancestral hall of the Wusun Kingdom. Through the gap in the window, Zeng Yi saw several sets of tablets placed in the center of the hall! The old man knelt on the tablets and kowtowed a few times before hearing a click.
A downward passage appeared on the ground! The old man jumped directly into the passage. After a while, the passage closed, as if nothing happened just now!
Zeng Yi really wanted to go in and have a look, but he didn't dare. On the one hand, he really didn't have the confidence to beat the old man. On the other hand, he was afraid of alerting the enemy! Resisting the impulse, Zeng Yi quickly left the Holy Spring Palace and returned to his guest room to meet his boss.
People gather!
When the three guys saw Zeng Yi coming back, they quickly asked about Zeng Yi's situation! Zeng Yi: "We have basically found out. I watched this old man walk into the secret passage of Shengquan Palace with my own eyes!"
"So, the bell spring is in the Holy Spring Palace. This is going to be difficult. This place will eventually be occupied, and we can't monopolize the bell spring!" said the fourth child with a frown!
"We'll talk about this later. The most important thing now is to enter the secret passage, check it out, and then kill this old man!"
