The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 571

[Chapter 571 Extra Guards]

Fang Xiu waited for three days.

For the past three days, Liu Qing would go to that alley at noon every day, and the answer he received every time was the same.

Undiscovered

until this day, Liu Qing returned to the yard from outside, walked straight to the map they used for planning every day, and marked a location on it.

At the same time, he said: “It’s right here.”

There was no unnecessary nonsense, but Fang Xiu chose to believe it.

Because, besides trusting Liu Qing and Zhang Wen, he had no other choice.

The sixth day after returning to the capital.

It’s another month of dark and windy nights.

Fang Xiu put on the official uniform of the pro-military government that he had not seen for a long time, with a sword on his waist and a jade pendant in his arms. With Lin Wanqing, Zhu’er and Fang Ru’s words of care, he walked with Zhao Yan, Liu Qing and the old woman. On the way to the palace.

Originally, Fang Xiu was planning to go alone.

After all, with one more person, there is an additional risk of exposure, and when escaping with the emperor, there is also an additional burden.

However, after discussion, it was decided to bring Liu Qing and Zhao Yan with them.

The reason is not complicated. Liu Qing was originally from the Poison Gu Sect and was good at Qinggong and Poison Gu. If something unexpected happened on the way back, she could take the old emperor and leave first.

As for Zhao Yan

, on the one hand, it was because she strongly requested to take her with her, and on the other hand, it was also because she was indeed familiar with the layout of the palace.

In the previous life, there were various navigation software, and many people got lost. What’s more, in this era, with only one map, it was difficult to find an annex in the complex palace.

Zhao Yan had stayed in the palace for more than ten years, and the courtyard Zhang Wen found was most likely the compound where the emperor was imprisoned. She had also been there when she was young, so she was more familiar with it than the two of them.

After weighing it, he decided to take her with him.

Of course, Liu Qing, Zhao Yan, and Fang Xiu all put on the official uniforms of the Qinjun Mansion, and they were dressed no differently than the pro-army soldiers of the Qinjun Mansion.

In addition, some disguises were also performed. Under the night, it was difficult to distinguish their faces.

Although Fang Xiu believed that these pro-soldiers would not report to King Ning after seeing him.

However, they are not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of the unexpected. What they are doing is dancing on the wire rope, and no matter how cautious they are, they cannot be too cautious.

Fang Xiu and the other four took advantage of the cover of night and walked straight to the palace gate.

There used to be only six guards in front of the palace, in the front, middle and back, but now there were twice as many.

Of course, the results are the same.

As long as these people are still soldiers of the original Qinjun Mansion instead of Prince Ning’s soldiers, the possibility of accidents will not be that great.

“Where did you guys come from? What are you doing in the palace in the middle of the night?”

As expected, as soon as Fang Xiu and the other four walked to the palace gate, they were stopped by a guard with his hand.

Fang Xiu raised his eyes and glanced at the soldier, but did not answer.

Instead, he took out a gold medal from his arms and shook it in front of the guard.

The guard was slightly startled and looked at the gold medal with wide eyes. After seeing the dragon pattern on the gold medal, he was startled and hurriedly knelt down and said: “I have seen you in this humble position, sir!”

Fang Xiu ignored it. He just said lightly: “Don’t tell anyone, I’ve been here before.”

He deliberately changed his voice. The guard felt familiar, but for a moment, he couldn’t remember where he had heard it before.

Therefore, he just responded and said: “I understand!”

Most of the guards in the palace knew about this gold medal, and seeing the gold medal was like seeing the Holy One!

Although the guard didn’t know who this person was, why he came to the palace, and what he wanted to do.

But he knew that the person holding this gold medal would never do anything to harm the court or His Majesty.

Moreover, it might be His Majesty’s order. He is just a small guard and has no qualifications to interfere with His Majesty’s affairs.

Fang Xiu also knew this, so he was not worried that these guards would reveal his whereabouts, so he took Zhao Yan and Liu Qing into the palace in a swaggering manner.

“Where should we go next?”

Fang Xiu had only been to the palace during the day, and he only remembered the path to the Cultivation Heart Hall and didn’t know anything else.

Therefore, after taking a few steps, I became confused.

Zhao Yan glanced around, without the slightest pause, and said, “I know where this is, follow me.”

After saying that, she led the way.

However, as soon as they reached the harem, something unexpected happened.

Originally there were no guards in this place, and even if there were, there were only a few factory guards, eunuchs with swords, patrolling here.

However, now there are two more teams of guards here, patrolling constantly, separating the inner court where the harem is located from the outer court where the emperor and ministers discuss matters.

In the outer part of the country, the defense was relatively relaxed.

But when we got here, we could clearly feel that the defense had become tighter.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu frowned, looked at Zhao Yan, and asked, “Is there any other way?”

Zhao Yan shook her head and said, “This is the only one.”

Seeing this, Fang Xiu took a deep breath. He said in a tone: “In this case, we can only give it a try.”

After saying that, he took out the gold medal and was about to step forward.

“Wait a moment!”

At this time, Liu Qing held him back.

Fang Xiu looked back at her and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Liu Qing looked at the guards who were patrolling not far away and said, “They are not pro-junfu people. Your gold medal has no effect on them.” Use it.”

Fang Xiu naturally knew this.

People in the pro-junfu government still recognized the gold medal. When other people saw the gold medal, they thought it was a forgery.

However, now there seems to be no other way besides giving it a try.

He looked at Liu Qing and asked, “Then do you have any other options?”

“No.”

Liu Qing shook her head and said very straightforwardly.

“”

When Fang Xiu heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, “Then we have to give it a try.”

“No!”

This time it was not Liu Qing who spoke, but Zhao Yan: “I remember there is another way to get there. There, it’s just.”

At this point, a hesitant expression appeared on his face.

When Fang Xiu saw this, he frowned and said, “It’s just nothing.”

“It’s just that it’s more difficult to walk.”

Zhao Yan said.

Fang Xiu heard this and glanced at her. Seeing her hesitant expression, he suddenly thought of something and asked, “Are you talking about the drainage canal?”

Don’t think that only modern people have sewers. As early as in the Two or three thousand years ago, the ancients had similar facilities.

As Chu State has developed on this land, it will naturally improve its drainage system. Drainage canals are one of the most important measures, which are equivalent to the sewers in previous lives.

In order to prevent the palace from being flooded, the drainage channels in the palace city are crisscrossed, and generally speaking, it is impossible for anyone to guard them.

After all

, the smell alone in that place is enough to put people off!
