As the sun sets in the sky, the thick ice and snow begins to melt.
The ice and snow melted into streams and trickles, eventually flowing into the moat.
On the city wall, guards wearing heavy armor patrolled the city wall with neat steps.
There was a long queue in front of the city gate, and only after inspection by the city guards could one enter the city.
The moat around Jingnan City is nearly a hundred meters wide at its longest point. Normal troops can only enter the city through the suspension bridge lowered from each gate. Once the suspension bridge is retracted, the city looks like a barbed iron barrel, capable of both offense and defense.
There are four gates in Jingnancheng.
East, west, north and south gates.
The four gates are equally guarded and there are no loopholes to exploit.
“I didn’t expect that a ‘passing warrant’ is required to enter the city.”
Yi Lin, Jian Nanchun, and Xia Xiaoman, after arriving outside Jingnan City, observed from a distance for a long time and came to this conclusion.
Jian Nanchun reached into his arms and rubbed the mother-in-law nails, as if he could feel the body temperature of Junior Sister Chao Rushuang through the connection of the mother-in-law nails. Although Jian Nanchun's heart was agitated, his face remained calm and calm, and he smiled slightly and said: "I
This was the case last time I came here. There were heavy troops stationed in the city, and the military spirit soared into the sky, making the city like a furnace and filled with evil spirits. Ordinary monsters and monsters would find it difficult to approach."
"So you didn't enter the city last time?"
Yi Lin looked at Jian Nanchun.
Jian Nanchun immediately took his hand out of his arms, pretended that nothing happened, and said calmly: "It's not necessary."
Yi Lin nodded and understood: "Although this defense is tight, it cannot guard against the monks."
Jian Nanchun said: "Junior Brother Lin, you don't know something. Although the Jingnan City Wall cannot protect against the monks' tactics, the Zhennan Palace, the military camp, the granary and other important places in the city are all affixed with the 'Forbidden Spirit Talisman'. Once someone is pregnant,
When the cultivating monk crosses the boundary, the 'Forbidden Soul Talisman' immediately spontaneously ignites and issues a warning. The Forbidden Soul Talisman is a continuous line with hundreds of talismans strung into one. Each point is heavily guarded. In this way, it can prevent the monks
, it can also prevent assassins, killing two birds with one stone."
"But what can you do if you notice it?" Yi Lin frowned: "With your senior brother's level of cultivation, isn't it easy to break into Zhennan Prince's Palace?"
"Uh..." Jian Nanchun was slapped in the face by Yi Lin's wave of flattery. He wanted to agree, but after thinking about it, Jian Nanchun was an honest person and never told lies, so Brother Chun could only look embarrassed and tell the truth.
Dao Lai: "Junior Brother Lin is wrong in what he said."
"What's the difference?"
"Don't you really think that there are no masters from the monk world garrisoning the huge Jingna City?"
Jian Nanchun's words reminded Yi Lin that there were many monks among the assassins who were chasing Xia Xiaoman.
These monk assassins claim that they are non-sectarian cultivators outside the country, but only they know where they come from.
Seeing Yi Lin's silence, Jian Nanchun dissuaded him and said, "According to me, there is no need for us to forcefully break into Jingna City. We are going down the mountain to investigate whether there are people from the Demon Sect secretly causing trouble in the turmoil in Daqing."
We only need to go straight to Qingdu to investigate. Isn’t it straightforward? Why take a long detour to this deserted southern land and abandon the near in favor of the far away?"
Yi Lin remained silent.
"So, what's the point of arguing with King Zhennan if you have nothing to do?" Jian Nanchun thought that Yi Lin had changed his mind, so he followed the temptation and said, "It's easy to turn around! My good junior brother!"
Yi Lin suddenly slapped her forehead: "Yes! Why didn't I think of that!"
Jian Nanchun: "?"
After Yi Lin finished patting her forehead, she looked back at Jian Nanchun and Xia Xiaoman who looked confused, and said with a smile: "Senior brother is right, we shouldn't sacrifice the near for the distant..."
As he spoke, Yi Lin's eyes finally fell on Xia Xiaoman.
Xia Xiaoman: "...???"
…
…
at the same time.
Zhennan Palace.
The hall is splendid and the stove is prosperous.
Twelve girls dressed in tulle danced and sang in the main hall of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. They performed various difficult dances, such as arching bridges or doing splits, with their flesh hidden and flesh exposed, which was amazing.
A middle-aged man with thin features and a majestic face, wearing gorgeous clothes, was condescending. He held his chin with one hand and watched the dance performance of the girls. There was no fluctuation in his eyes. He seemed to be fascinated by the vulgar dancing in the hall.
, lack of interest, and seems to have such a temper that he can't get aroused.
suddenly.
Under the flickering firelight, in the shadow behind the middle-aged man, with a burst of light and shadow distortion, a man wearing a black robe and a red mask on his face appeared behind the middle-aged man.
"Your Majesty, I just received a piece of news. I think Your Majesty will be slightly interested in it."
"Oh? Say."
Sitting in the main hall seat, this middle-aged man who is as unmoving as Liu Xiahui is the Lord of Huangnan, the King of Zhennan, Xia Xingchen.
"Princess, here we come."
"The eldest princess?" King Zhennan looked slightly stunned: "Which eldest princess?"
"Oh, the prince's good niece, Princess Zhenping."
"She's actually still alive?"
King Zhennan suddenly sat upright, his body trembling slightly.
After a while, King Zhennan waved his hand, and the musicians in the hall stopped playing music at the same time. The girls also stopped dancing obediently. For a moment, the hall of King Zhennan's palace was so silent that you could hear a needle drop.
"Back off."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The girls retreated, some with a bit of disappointment on their faces.
They wore very little clothes on purpose today.
Faintly visible, coquettish yet pure.
Everyone hopes that if they are caught by the prince, they can even be a bed-warming maid for one night. When they climb the branches tomorrow, even if they cannot fly on the branches and become phoenixes, they can still transform from wild crows that no one cares about, to inlaid maids.
The canary raised in the golden cage no longer has to worry about food and clothing.
I never expected that the prince would not like this.
After the musicians and dancers retreated, King Zhennan's trembling body suddenly stopped shaking.
I saw him looking up and laughing in front of the masked man behind him: "I didn't expect it to happen at this juncture. God helps me! God helps me!"
…
Not long ago.
"I am the current eldest princess of Daqing, Princess Zhenping, and I would like to see King Zhennan."
Xia Xiaoman, followed by Jian Nanchun, came directly to the city gate and announced his identity like a showman.
The city guard was suddenly startled: "Which eldest princess?"
"Presumptuous!" Xia Xiaoman came from the palace after all. Even if he had worn off a lot of his energy by working as a sidekick for a year, when it was time to pretend, Xia Xiaoman was absolutely unambiguous. In this moment of anger, Xia Xiaoman's eyebrows stood up, and he suddenly
There is a bit of noble temperament: "How many eldest princesses are there in the Daqing Dynasty? I see that your head is crooked and you don't want to live anymore!"
When the guard saw that the opponent was there, he pretended not to come and immediately reported the situation.
About ten minutes.
News came back from the Zhennan Palace.
"Welcome to Your Royal Highness the Princess!"
"Kaicheng!"
"Welcome to Your Royal Highness the Princess!"
"Welcome to Your Royal Highness the Princess!"
The city gate was wide open, and rows of heavily armored soldiers knelt down in fear to greet Xia Xiaoman.
Xia Xiaoman raised his proud head and walked towards Zhennan Prince's Mansion amid the admiration of thousands of people.
No one found it.
When the eldest princess entered the city.
A shadow that no one could detect separated from the shadow behind the eldest princess, and then swam out of various postures in broad daylight, got into the surrounding houses, and disappeared.
At a street corner, Yi Lin returned to her human form.
"Look, it's so easy to get in."
In fact, there are many ways to enter the city. Yi Lin can just open any door and enter. But because he is not familiar with the structure inside, if the location is not accurate, Yi Lin is worried that he will open the exit in a place that should not be opened, which will only increase the variables.
No, using the name of the eldest princess, the world is so big, what place can’t be reached?
Yi Lin flicked her wrist and pulled out a handmade folding fan.
On the snow-white paper of the folding fan, there are four characters written with dragons and phoenixes dancing - "The trees are beautiful in the forest".
This is a small fan he made to show off when he was bored.
After all, Yi Lin has a [versatile] talent. If you want to do some handicrafts, don't waste your skillful hands.
After sneaking into the city, Yi Lin waved her fan and wandered around the streets looking like a local.
