Chapter 185 Infiltration (Second Update, Please Vote)

In a courtyard facing the street, the Demon Queen and Meng Qi opened the door of the wing.

"Honored Lord." The people in the room stood up quickly, with expressions of awe and respect that were almost pious.

As soon as he saw him, Meng Qi understood the Demon Queen's plan to infiltrate, because he was a middle-aged eunuch. Judging from his clothing, he should be a high-ranking eunuch. It seemed that it was a secret arranged by the Demon Sect many years ago. The chess piece finally came into use today.

The imperial city is indeed impregnable, but who can control the hearts of the people? Meng Qi suddenly felt this emotion.

The Demon Queen nodded reservedly: "This matter is dangerous, what else do you have unfulfilled?"

Once this kind of thing is discovered, the Queen, Meng Qi and others can still escape with their martial arts. This eunuch is absolutely unlucky!

The middle-aged eunuch said excitedly: "I am willing to go through fire and water for the revival of the Holy Sect, no matter what!"

"Okay, very good. Now that this matter is over, you can return to the sect and take on the important responsibilities." The Demon Queen is not a stupid leader who has learned martial arts, so she naturally knows how to encourage and win people's hearts.

She turned to look at Meng Qi and others and introduced: "Yu Tong'en, the eunuch in charge of purchasing."

Ordinary eunuchs are generally called chamberlains, internal officials, etc. Those who can be called "eunuchs" are at least the leaders of certain affairs in the palace. This Yu Tongen is obviously the person who went out to buy the palm seals. He can sit in this lucrative position. It was a lucrative position, and his relationship with the eunuchs in the palace was not bad, so Meng Qi felt relieved after hearing this.

After nodding and greeting each other, the Queen said concisely: "After entering the palace, wait for night to fall and the palace door to be locked. I will go directly to the Qinzheng Palace to raid Wang Derang and entangle him. You sneak into the Taiji Palace to confirm the old guy's condition. ”

Qinzheng Hall is where the emperor handles daily affairs. Next to it is the duty station of Zhengshitang. When the Right Prime Minister Wang Derang is imprisoned at night, he usually lives here. It is very close to Taiji Hall, which is the emperor's bedroom. With the strength, guarding this place is equivalent to guarding the Taiji Palace to prevent anyone from assassinating the emperor and tampering with the decree. As a foreign minister, it is not in line with etiquette to stay directly in the emperor's palace, and Wang Derang is a great Confucian who respects ancient times and restores etiquette.

"I need the internal defense layout and patrol route map." Although Meng Qi has the magic of transfiguration, there are so many experts in the palace that he might be seen through by someone with sharp eyes, so he must mainly use normal infiltration.

Yu Tongen didn't say much. He took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Meng Qi: "Burn them after reading them."

Later, Meng Qi, Luo Shengyi and Ruan Yushu studied the defense layout and patrol route map, and discussed infiltration.

At the time of Shen, the sun gradually set in the west. Yu Tongen stood up and said, "I have to buy something and go back to the palace. Please come."

He led Meng Qi and others through a secret passage to the warehouse in the yard next door. There were nine carts of pigs, cattle, sheep, fruits, vegetables and other items in it.

"The pig and cow bellies have been hollowed out. Just hide inside and remember to breathe lightly," Yu Tong'en warned.

Meng Qi frowned slightly: "With one more person, the marks and sounds of the wheels pressing on the ground are different."

The weight will obviously be different, and the guards guarding the palace gate are all very skilled guards, so it is impossible not to notice this aspect.

"Only the outer layer of the dozen or so bags of flour at the bottom is real. The inside is made of paper scraps, silk and other soft things. It's just right for one person." Yu Tongen did not neglect this aspect.

Because it is easy to conceal the weight of one person, it is more troublesome for several people, so the four of Meng Qi and the Demon Queen were divided into four cars. There are also five cars without any problem, false and true, true and false.

Meng Qi had no doubts anymore, picked a mouthful of fat pig, and got in. The smell of blood hit his nostrils, making him want to vomit and make it difficult to breathe.

He used the Golden Bell Meditation, his breathing became weak, and he fell into a state of half-breath. Then Yu Tongen used silk thread to sew up the abdominal incisions of the fat pigs, cattle and sheep one by one, and covered them with vegetables, fruits, etc., and suddenly At first glance, it is difficult to tell.

After doing all this, he called the eunuchs in the courtyard outside to come in, hitch the horses, and drive the vehicles back to the palace.

Meng Qi felt his body rise and fall, and occasionally he would hit something raised and tremble. After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped, and he faintly heard a voice: "Father Fish, it's another great harvest."

Yu Tongen laughed sharply and said: "You have worked hard during this period, so of course our family has to prepare good meat and vegetables for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Fish." The guard at the palace gate stepped forward, randomly picked up fruits and vegetables, and poked at the cattle, sheep, and fat pigs.

Feeling that he was getting closer and closer to the fat pig where he was hiding, Meng Qi immediately cheered up and tensed his body, ready to take action at any time.

At this time, Yu Tongen came over and laughed in a low voice: "Our family was delayed in listening to the opera. We were afraid of being scolded by Manager Wang, so we asked a few people to help us catch up with the time."

He quietly handed a bag of silver to several guards.

"Mr. Yu, you have always been a fan of theater. I wonder which famous actor you have chosen?" The guard leader heard the elegant meaning of the song and backed away with a lewd smile.

Yu Tongen agreed with a smile and said, "We'll talk about it later."

The carriage started again, passed through the deep doorway, and entered the palace.

Listening to the sound echoing in the empty space, Meng Qi felt a quiet and ethereal feeling, and sighed in his heart, even if the defense arrangements are watertight, there are people who have people's hearts, and people's hearts are always full of loopholes.

The carriage made many turns and finally arrived at the warehouse of the imperial kitchen. Yu Tongen said loudly: "It's getting dark. You go and have dinner quickly. Just find some rough men to come and move the goods."

Rough envoys are at the bottom of the eunuch system in this world and can only do manual labor.

"Thank you, Mr. Yu!" The eunuchs under his command were all very happy, thinking that Mr. Yu was too kind to them!

When they left, Yu Tongen coughed a few times and gave a secret signal - his personal eunuch went to prepare dinner for him.

The silk threads broke one by one, and Meng Qi and others came out and hid in the depths of the warehouse.

Meng Qi smelled his own blood, and then looked at the Demon Queen and Ruan Yushu who were still elegant in white skirts and white shirts. He couldn't help but complain in his heart, could it be that they had been using their true energy to resist the invasion of the environment just now, what a waste...

After the rough servants unloaded the goods, Yu Tongen sent them away, took Meng Qi and others out of the warehouse, and hid in the imperial kitchen. At this time, night fell, dinner was over, and there was no one in the imperial kitchen except for the cakes that were steamed and kept warm, and a few rough servants watching the fire, so it was very suitable for hiding.

Several people hid on the beam, and the fragrance of cakes penetrated into their nostrils.

Ruan Yushu looked at the steamer and the pastries that did not need to be kept warm below with a focused expression, muttering to herself:

"Pea yellow, lotus seed cake, water chestnut cake, sesame roll, red bean paste roll, jade bean cake, osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut powder cake..."

Meng Qi could vaguely hear the gurgling sound of her swallowing saliva, so he suppressed his smile and said, "Eat it, I'll treat you."

"Really?" Ruan Yushu turned his head and looked at him suddenly.

"It's just after dinner, no one will want to eat snacks for a while, and by the time someone finds out, we have already confirmed the situation and left the palace." Meng Qi said with a smile.

Even if someone finds out, they will first suspect that the eunuchs or the servants are stealing, and by the time they find out, the time has passed.

Ruan Yushu rarely agreed with Meng Qi's opinion and nodded, quietly slid down the pillar, and took the opportunity when several servants were watching the fire, stretched out her slender hand, and grabbed a lot of pastries that did not need to be kept warm - they only grabbed one piece from a pile, so that no one could see the trace.

Then she squatted down again, turned to the steamer, and then slowly lifted it up to block her sight, and grabbed a few pieces of cakes.

She was careful and smooth throughout the whole process, as if she had rehearsed it many times in her heart.

Back on the beam, Ruan Yushu ate in small but very fast mouthfuls. Suddenly, she paused, pursed her lips hesitantly, and handed a piece to Meng Qi, her eyes always looking forward, as if she would regret it if she looked over: "For you."

Meng Qi laughed in his stomach, took it and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation. It tasted really good.

Luo Shengyi and the Queen of Demons both closed their eyes and waited for the night to deepen.

After more than half an hour, Yu Tongen gave a secret signal outside, and the four left the imperial kitchen and found him in the corner of the garden.

After handing Meng Qi and others three sets of guard uniforms and flying claw ropes and other things, he turned around and left. No one spoke during the whole process.

Meng Qi and the other two found a hidden place and changed into guard uniforms.

"I will start in half an hour. Can you reach Taiji Hall?" The Queen of Demons asked as usual.

Taiji Hall is guarded by many experts. If there is no movement in the Qinzheng Hall, the Queen of Demons asked herself that it would be difficult for her to sneak in, so she had to grasp the right timing.

Meng Qi nodded and said, "No problem."

With the patrol route map and defense arrangement, the biggest problem is the guards of Taiji Hall. It should be possible to reach the vicinity of the emperor's bedroom in half an hour.

The Queen of Demons said no more, and left at a moderate pace. Her back swayed, as if she was blending into the darkness little by little, "truly" blending into the darkness, and soon disappeared.

Meng Qi and the other two looked at each other, and did not communicate. They set off according to the direction and route they had discussed before. They grasped the timing along the way, and always managed to cross the corridor and the doorway between the two groups of guards and when the rooftop guards shifted their eyes.

Soon, the three of them were only one hall away from the Taiji Hall, but the guards here were getting denser and denser. Several teams of guards patrolled back and forth, leaving no time or place for them to have a clear view. The pavilion where they were hiding was quite far away from the hall, so they could not forcefully dodge through it with the illusion technique.

Meng Qi had been prepared. He took a deep breath, released his spirit, and wrapped himself, Ruan Yushu, and Luo Shengyi. He climbed up to the top of the pavilion like a gecko, and flew out like a strange bird, passing over the heads of the first team of guards.

Due to the effect of the illusion technique, the sound was weak and did not attract the attention of the guards.

In mid-air, Meng Qi was about to fall, and he suddenly threw out his flying claws and caught the eaves of a nearby hall.

Snap, a slight sound was heard when the flying claws caught the eaves.

At this moment, a guard slipped and made a louder noise.

Meng Qi pulled hard, and the whole person flew into the air again and landed in the shadow of the roof. Ruan Yushu and Luo Shengyi also arrived almost at the same time.

Thanks to the illusion technique... Meng Qi was thankful. The actual combat effect of this technique is very poor now, but it is his god-level assistant.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the guards asked about the person who slipped, Meng Qi and his two companions jumped over the roof and directly onto the wall, hiding on the wall near the Taiji Hall.

There was a guard every ten steps outside the Taiji Hall, and there were also several on the roof, all of whom were masters with bulging temples.
