Late at night, Cen Gang left the palace and went to Tianzhao's headquarters. Although his status was not as good as before, he was still the nominal number one person in Tianzhao, and he had to go there every night to handle official business.
Of course, Mu Cunyi probably did this on purpose, wanting to observe whether he had colluded with outsiders.
When they were far away from the Eighth Prince's Mansion, the cries of street sellers gradually became louder, and Cen Gang walked through the crowd expressionlessly.
When passing by a restaurant, he secretly used his skills, and a paper ball slipped quietly from the top of the boot where the hem was covered. When his foot stepped on a piece of bluestone, the paper ball fell into a gap. And because he was wearing
The long gown and the front and back hems covered the feet, making all this undetectable.
When Cen had just rounded the corner, someone behind him lowered his head and glanced at the road, but found nothing, so he continued to follow carefully.
After midnight, there were finally no pedestrians on the street, and only a few lanterns swayed in the wind. However, a black shadow flew past and landed in front of a bluestone slab.
He squatted down and lifted up the bluestone slab. There was actually a small artificially dug groove underneath, which could just accommodate the contents of the paper ball. And because of the height of the terrain, following Cen Gang's previous direction, if something fell,
After entering the gap, it will roll along the groove and land directly under the bluestone slab.
The black shadow quickly picked up the paper ball and covered it with the bluestone. After looking around for a while, it quickly melted into the night.
Soon after, in a house in the northeast corner of the imperial city, the lights were dimly lit. Three people sat around a table, with a ball of paper spread out on the table.
One of them had big ears, long silkworm eyebrows, and his eyes exuded a superb light under the flickering candlelight. He turned out to be Dou Laide, the former Sky Claw master.
A few years ago, Dou Laide was dismissed from his post by Mu Cunyi because he insisted on taking action against the major Jianghu forces in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and later unfortunately fell into the hands of Lou Linxuan. At first, he refused to surrender, but after Lou Linxuan spied with him,
He immediately joined Yingmu and is now the general person in charge of Yingmu in the Imperial City.
"Bian Huiqing is actually from the Dongfang family?" Dou Laide frowned: "But according to what Dou knows, even if Mu Zichen and Le Lao attack together tomorrow, they may not be able to take Bian Huiqing down."
The gentle woman on one side said: "From my point of view, Mu Cunyi will never fight a battle that he is not sure of. There must be other means. The inner courtyard of the palace is full of secrets, which cannot be known by outsiders like me."
Dou Laide still looked thoughtful, nodded casually and said, "That's what Miss Yu said."
This gentle woman is none other than the Rain Master in Qing Sha Liu Feng Yu Dharma Protector. She has been staying in the imperial city these years and is responsible for supervising the members of Yingmu. If anyone is found to be suspected of betrayal, she has the authority to kill first and report later.
right!
Although he did not care about the specific affairs, his status and intimidation were still higher than Dou Laide's. However, after several years of getting along with him, Yu Shishi was amazed at Dou Laide's ability, and he was usually polite to him and never bossed him around.
Glancing at the paper ball, Master Yu had a solemn expression: "The Dongfang Family buried the nail so deeply. It was obvious that they had prepared it many years ago. Fortunately, the prince noticed it in advance. If the Dongfang Family had waited for it to take action, they might have been able to capture Mu Cun.
Yi, then the fun will be great!”
The other two people also looked tense.
No smart person would believe that after marrying the Dongfang Family, their grudges can be eliminated, and they are always on guard against the Dongfang Family. Once the Dongfang Family takes control of the court, I am afraid that the Three Kingdoms of Jinghua will not be far away from surrendering.
After thinking about it, Master Yu suddenly said: "Tomorrow, if Mu Zichen is not with Mu Cunyi, the defense intensity of the Eighth Prince's Palace will be greatly reduced. Do you think we have a chance to attack Mu Cunyi?"
After the words fell, Dou Laide was startled for the first time.
Everyone knows the importance of Mu Cunyi to the imperial court, and as long as he is captured, he will be equivalent to capturing most of the imperial court. He can be said to be a must-win for all parties.
Unfortunately, the Eighth Prince's Mansion's formation was too strong, and it was protected by peerless masters like Mu Zichen, so all parties did not dare to act rashly. It is conceivable that there would only be one opportunity like tomorrow's.
But after thinking for a moment, Dou Laide finally poured cold water on it: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
Master Yu couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"
Dou Laide: "Based on my understanding of Mu Cunyi, he is extremely cautious and narrow-minded. Tomorrow he is very likely to enter the palace with Mu Zichen. This will not only be safer, but also he can be killed immediately once he is captured.
Revenge. Furthermore, the strength we have left in the imperial city is not enough to invade the Eighth Prince's Mansion. It will only serve to scare the enemy away."
What the other party said was reasonable, and Master Yu couldn't help but look disappointed: "It's just that I was too naive."
Dou Laide sighed: "The level of the game between the two sides is not something we can interfere with, but we can't just sit and watch the show. I'll wait and send people to guard around the palace tomorrow. If you are lucky, you may gain something."
This is purely to comfort myself. The main event is in the palace. What can be gained by staying outside the palace? With Mu Cunyi's deployment ability, I am afraid that not even a hint of news will be leaked by then.
Master Yu looked at the man opposite: "Shenjun, do you have any opinions?"
The man smiled heartily: "Meng has just arrived here not long ago. Do you have any opinions? I just listen to the orders of the two adults."
Hearing what he said was funny, Dou Laide and Yu Shishi both laughed, but there was inevitably a bit of regret and weakness in their smiles. All parties focused on Mu Cunyi, thinking that he was easy to bully but could not stand up to others.
There are people down there, and they can't get out all day long, and there's nothing they can do...
Early the next morning, when street vendors were just taking to the streets, Mu Cunyi entered the palace smoothly under the escort of Mu Zichen and Le Qian.
In fact, in terms of the beauty of the formation, the Imperial Palace is better than the Eighth Prince's Palace, but most of the guards in the Eighth Prince's Palace were personally promoted by Mu Cunyi, and their loyalty is much higher than that of the palace guards. All in all, Mu Cunyi still feels that the Eighth Prince's Palace is better.
It was safe, so I had no idea of moving into the palace.
The reason why I came here today was that Mu Zichen had to enter the palace.
Just as Dou Laide expected, Mu Cunyi now does not dare to stay away from Mu Zichen for too long. At worst, during the war, he can temporarily transfer the palace's trusted guards to his side for protection.
Entering the palace with a gloomy look, Mu Cunyi finally entered a side hall.
To the right of the side hall is a square square with a length of 100 meters and a width of 100 meters, with a ten-foot-long white jade pillar standing in each corner, shining brightly in the morning light.
After more than an hour, Minghua led a group of close guards into the side hall, saluted to Mu Cunyi, and then with a wave of his hand, the guards dispersed, keeping the side hall airtight.
Mu Cunyi said to Mu Zichen and Le Qian: "It's up to you to eradicate the traitors. After the success is achieved, I will celebrate your success."
Mu Zichen and Le Qian left without saying a word. The former went to the harem, while Le Qian was the first to fall into the square. The palace guards originally stationed around the square had been removed and strictly ordered not to approach.
Not long after, two figures flew across the square, it was Mu Zichen and Bian Huiqing.
Bian Lingqing's black clothes were messy and his hair was unkempt. He had obviously just come out of Wenwen Village. There was still a look of dissatisfaction on his face: "I suddenly called Bian here. What secrets do you want to tell me? Where is the prince?"
With a casual sweep, Bian Huiqing sensed the people in the side hall a hundred meters away. Just as he was wondering why Mu Zichen brought him here, suddenly, a thin curtain of light rose up on all sides of the square, with lightning speed
It forms a photomask, covering all directions without leaving any blind spots.
The four white jade pillars were shrouded in a layer of mysterious aura, forming a whole, and the entire light shield disappeared instantly, as if it had never appeared before.
Since the height of the mask was lower than that of the surrounding palace walls, and the aura of the formation was not visible, no outsiders noticed all this except the people here.
Bian Huiqing quickly backed away and shouted with a cold face: "Mu Zichen, what do you mean?"
He waved his palm and slapped it to the side. A palm that was enough to shatter the hillside hit the formation mask, but only the slightest ripples appeared. This scene made Bian Huiqing's heart sink suddenly.
Although he knew that there were many formations in the Eastern Zhou Palace, he never imagined that they were so sophisticated. Besides, Mu Cunyi tried every means to invite him out, so how could he have expected that that guy would plot against him?
Mu Zichen had a handsome face, but at this moment he looked very ferocious. He said coldly: "What do you mean? You insulted my royal family and messed up the harem. You should be killed!"
Since Le Qian was allowed to participate in the battle, Mu Zichen also knew that he could not hide it. At the same time as he shouted, the Yin and Yang Qi rotated, and with the swing of his arms, they turned into the light of the sun and the moon and slashed out quickly. The world within the light barrier changed drastically.
.
"Hahaha, it's true that Bian messed up the harem, but it was your nephew who asked Bian to do it! Why don't you kill your green-haired nephew and come to vent your anger on Bian?" Bian is not a kind person, and he knows it.
He couldn't be kinder today and immediately started mocking her, making Mu Zichen's face turn red with anger.
Boom!
After a fierce collision, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and the air was filled with transparent ripples, layer upon layer. The rays of light from the sun and the moon continued to attack Bian Huiqing.
But Bian Huiqing was very cunning. He knew that he was no match for Mu Zichen, so he saved his strength in the move just now and quickly got out of the way.
A finger light shot out, seeming to penetrate the sky completely, forcing Bian Huiqing to move in the air, and shouted at Le Qian who was taking action from a distance: "Brother Le, if they attack Bian today, they will do it tomorrow."
It will be your turn! Now that you know that all the men of the Mu family are cuckolds, will Mu Cunyi let you go?"
With the skills of the three of them, by the time they finished saying this, they had already executed dozens of moves.
Under Mu Zichen's all-out attack, Bian Huiqing suddenly fell into a passive position. Fortunately, Le Qian seemed to be touched, and he was more hesitant than before, giving Bian Huaqing a chance to breathe.
Mu Zichen shouted: "Lao Le, I, Mu Zichen, have clear grudges, but I swear that I will never do anything to you, and Mu Cunyi can't order me!"
Hearing this, he shouted angrily: "Such deceptive nonsense, do you think Brother Le is a fool?"
The three of them were fighting fiercely inside the formation, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, but outside the formation, it was calm and calm, and not even a sound could be heard.
Mu Cunyi, who was standing on the side of the side hall and watching through the window, had a look of extreme joy on his face. But at this moment, he suddenly heard an exclamation from inside the hall.
