But this is probably also related to the fact that this street is the main street.
The main street of every city is always extremely lively and prosperous.
Shen Yizi, however, had no mood to appreciate it. He asked someone about the location of Prince Chen's Mansion and went straight there.
When he arrived nearby, he found a secluded place and performed an illusion. He changed the mask on his face to look like Gu Xueting. Then he put on a pair of boots with padded linings and imitated Gu Xueting's usual manner, swaggering towards Prince Chen's Mansion.
She didn't expect to keep it secret for long, as long as she could get through the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion smoothly.
Once I meet Gu Xueting, it won’t be a big deal even if I’m exposed.
It's so late, Gu Xueting should be in the mansion, right? If not, hmph! Seeing the "Prince", the guards at the door dared not stop him, and did not even dare to look at him, and let him go directly.
However, after the "Prince" entered, the two guards couldn't help but look at each other. It seemed that the Prince had not left the house today? Why did he come in from outside?
However, the prince's whereabouts were uncertain. He didn't leave from the main gate, so maybe he left from somewhere else? Because Gu Xueting had accumulated great prestige, the guards didn't dare to think too much.
Just like that, Shen Yizhi swaggered into Prince Chen's Mansion.
She had some knowledge about this kind of ancient architecture. The main buildings were generally located on the central axis facing north and south, and the more important the person's status, the closer they lived to the central axis.
As the master of the entire palace, Gu Xueting must live in the building in the middle of the central axis, right? Shen Yizhi walked all the way in, and all the servants she met on the way bowed respectfully to her.
After walking for a while, Shen Yizi felt a little dizzy. The Prince Chen's Mansion was really big.
Not only big, but also luxurious.
She didn't dare release her spiritual sense directly, because she could sense that there were many guards hiding in the dark in this mansion, including some cultivators. Once her spiritual sense was noticed by those people, wouldn't she be exposed?
She didn't want to alarm others.
At least not before meeting Gu Xueting, so as not to be regarded as an assassin with ill intentions.
However, sometimes things don't go as planned.
A man in blue came towards me. He looked to be in his thirties, of medium height, with a handsome face and a very calm temperament.
It was Lin Chen, the chief secretary of the palace, whose duties were similar to those of a butler.
When he saw Shen Yizhi, he was slightly startled. He had just come out from the prince's place, how come the prince came in from outside in the blink of an eye? He was always careful, and when he noticed something was wrong, he looked at Shen Yizhi carefully. At this glance, his sharp eyes immediately saw many things wrong.
His height, eyes, and aura were all very different from the prince's! Only his face was worth looking at.
In a flash, Lin Chen realized an astonishing fact in his mind: the "prince" in front of him was pretended by someone! Shen Yizhi just wanted to sneak in, so his disguise was very rough, how could it stand up to scrutiny?
After Lin Chen found out that she was a fake, he remained expressionless, without showing any sign of abnormality. He even bowed his head and greeted her.
Shen Yizi didn't know that she had been seen through, or rather, she had already prepared herself to be exposed, but she didn't expect it to be so sudden.
At the moment when the two passed each other, Lin Chen suddenly took action and shouted loudly: "Catch the assassin!"
Shen Yizhi: “…”
This man is so sinister! But when I thought that he was working for Gu Xueting, I felt relieved for no reason. It seems that not all the people in this palace are stupid.
As Lin Chen spoke, countless guards suddenly emerged from all directions, both visible and invisible.
Seeing the assassin's face, everyone: "..."
"This man pretends to be a prince and has bad intentions. Capture him quickly!" Lin Chen was not good at fighting, so he cleverly retreated outside the battle circle and left the venue to the guards.
Shen Yizi looked around and sighed in his heart, the guard force of Prince Chen's Mansion is really strong.
There is one in the late Qi Refining stage, two in the middle stage, seven or eight in the early stage, and dozens of ordinary guards and masters, not including those trump card players who will not show up unless it is absolutely necessary.
Perhaps because he had Gu Xueting's support, Shen Yizi was not afraid at all. Instead, he felt a long-lost thrill and excitement in his heart. His heart was beating eagerly, and he wanted to try how long he could hold out under these people.
"Ah, I was recognized. What bad luck. Come on, don't be scared."
Shen Yizhi waved to those people.
The guards: “…”
This assassin is really bold. He is still so fearless even after being recognized.
The guards did not hesitate any longer and a wave of ordinary guards attacked first.
Although these people are ordinary people, they have very good martial arts skills and it is quite difficult to fight them.
However, Shen Yizi still managed to knock them down, but he did not kill them. He only confiscated their weapons and threw them out of the battle circle.
She clapped her hands and said, "This won't do. Is this the level of the guards in Prince Chen's Mansion?"
These words made the faces of the ordinary guards who were defeated by her turn red.
The others looked on, somewhat confused by the assassin's actions.
He was an assassin, but there was no murderous aura on him, and he was very measured in his fight with the guards, not killing anyone. He didn't even make them lose their arms or legs, he just made them temporarily lose their fighting ability.
But if he wasn't an assassin, what was he trying to do by sneaking in here disguised as a prince in the middle of the night? "Come on, continue." Shen Yizhi hooked his finger.
After the fight just now, she felt much less irritable. Fighting was indeed the best way to vent. If she felt unhappy, she could just punch him.
Gu Xueting, the real culprit, had provoked her, and now she was taking it out on his guards.
So, Lin Chen watched helplessly as a bloody conflict turned into a competition.
Both sides tacitly agreed not to kill each other, but they also did not hold back. They tried their best, punching each other hard, and their hormones exploded.
The other guards who did not go on stage formed a circle, watching with their blood boiling and their hearts pounding.
Someone shouted, "Come on! Beat that guy down!"
For some reason, seeing that kid with the prince's face, they really wanted to see someone beat him down.
That must have been an interesting scene.
Lin Chen looked at the group of guards who were shouting with excitement in front of him, thought about it, and went to ask Gu Xueting for instructions.
After learning about this, Gu Xueting came to the yard. When he saw the so-called assassin, he was stunned. Was he missing Zhizhi too much? Why did he see her in front of him? If you love someone deeply, let alone this kind of casual disguise, even if they change their appearance, you can easily recognize them.
