Chapter 471 She is Su Jiuni!
The North Palace is remote and sparsely populated because it has been abandoned for so long.
In addition, the emperor later issued a strict order not to allow anyone to approach this place at will. As time went by, this place became a completely forgotten place in the Golden Jade Palace.
The deserted palace cast large shadows under the moonlight, it was dark, quiet, eerie and strange.
When Yan Changkong and his men arrived, there were dark shadows swaying in every corner of the wasteland, so densely packed that it was creepy at first glance.
"Martial law! Let that man out!" Yan Changkong pursed his thin lips, his eyes cold.
The guard who reported the news hesitated after hearing this and then tentatively suggested, "Prince, why don't you try blowing the whistle again? The thing that can control that person is used less and less..."
"Although this place is far from Yongshou Palace, it's not impossible that no one will hear the whistle. When you blew the whistle just now, the banquet was in full swing, so no one noticed. Now that the banquet is about to end, we must not risk attracting attention." Yan Changkong closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Follow my orders!"
The guards obeyed the order.
Yan Changkong stood with his hands behind his back, watching the dark shadows surging in the darkness.
Those dark shadows seemed to be frightened by something and were restless. They wanted to hide in the dark, but they didn't dare to move rashly, as if they were suppressed by their natural enemies.
He had seen this reaction firsthand; it was all too familiar.
Only when that person is around will these soul soldiers be so afraid.
But that person was imprisoned in a deep prison, and he couldn’t get out without someone letting him in... Yan Changkong narrowed his eyes.
Then there is only one possibility left, right now, at this moment, there is another person in the Nansang Palace who also has the means to suppress the soul soldiers!
Su Jiuni!
She is in the palace!
When he thought of that person, that stunning face flashed through his mind inexplicably, pure and elegant, calm and cold.
Yan Changkong had never seen Su Jiuni before, but at this moment he felt extremely certain in his heart that the woman must be Su Jiuni!
She was an attendant of the Dai Viet envoys and appeared with Du Buqin. She was around nineteen or twenty years old, taciturn and serious, but her moves were decisive and ruthless. Despite her youth, she had a very strong aura... Combining all the information, it was her!
It turned out to be her!
Clang-clang-clang
A strange noise came from somewhere, getting closer and closer.
Yan Changkong looked in the direction of the sound, his eyes indifferent.
A tall figure walked out from a corner of the deserted palace. His disheveled hair covered most of his face, leaving only his square jaw exposed, and his pale skin was visible.
He was dressed in a black robe, and his entire body almost blended into the night.
There were heavy iron shackles on his wrists and ankles. When he walked, the shackles scraped across the gravel on the ground, and the strange noise came from there.
After he appeared, the restless soul soldiers immediately quieted down and stood still, not daring to move.
…
A quarter of an hour later, Bai Yu and Tian Bao returned to the corridor of the side hall of Yongshou Palace and reunited with Xiao Maisui and Su An.
The music from the main hall had stopped, and the sounds of toasting and drinking had also faded.
The moon is at its zenith, and the banquet is about to end.
The envoys and attendants from various countries who were crowded on the corridor began to move towards the outer door of the main hall, waiting for their masters to come out and escort them back to the inn.
Tianbao and the other three followed the crowd, chatting about some irrelevant topics and not mentioning anything else.
"...Burp! Old man, I told me I don't want to drink, but you forced me to drink. Look how full my stomach is. It's even inconvenient for me to find a toilet to relieve myself." The old man, reeking of alcohol, walked out stumbling over his left foot and stumbling without falling.
Gan Zhenyu stood beside him with his hands outstretched, ready to support him at any time. He was also a little drunk, obviously he had drunk a lot.
Next came the second princess and Mo Liren, walking behind the two of them.
"Old sir, it's obviously you who drank too much. I told you that although Nansang fruit wine tastes sweet, it has a very strong aftertaste. Look... Not only can you not walk on a straight road, but you also have to hold back the wine. Hahaha!" Mo Liren gloated.
The Second Princess was the only one with clear eyes among the four. "This palace and the old gentleman hit it off right away. I was thinking of inviting you to have wine with me tomorrow, but it seems we can only have tea instead."
"Have some tea, have some tea. We can't drink any more alcohol. We're burning up!" The old man burped again and rubbed his bloated belly. He glanced at the younger generation waiting at the steps of the main hall and immediately quickened his pace. He jumped down, grabbed Bai Yu and Su An, and urged them in a low voice, "Hurry up, carry them on your backs. Grandpa, we can't walk any further. If we walk any further, the wine spring will leak out!"
Bai Yu, Su An, "..."
The two men immediately grabbed the old man's arms, one on the left and one on the right, and carried him away.
"What are you doing? Carry me on your back! Why are you carrying me?" the old man shouted in a low voice.
Bai Yu said seriously, "You can't carry it on your back. You'll really leak fluid if you carry it on your belly."
“…”
Mo Liren laughed to himself from behind, "I can see it now. That little guard did it on purpose. He must have been mad at the old censor for speaking so recklessly in front of the young ladies!"
"Lord Mo, weren't you the one who spoke without restraint first? I've been here, but I haven't seen you keep your mouth shut." The second princess glanced at me with a sidelong glance, her tone chilling.
"..." Mo Liren shut up silently, not daring to fart again.
Envoys from ten countries gathered for the evening banquet. When they left, the crowd was huge and the envoys were still laughing and joking with each other.
Only Tianbao and his group were not approached by anyone, and they left a circle of empty space around the Dai Viet envoys, clearly isolated.
Fortunately, Dai Viet didn't care at all.
After leaving Yongshou Hall and exiting the palace, the atmosphere of the night banquet faded.
The windproof lanterns on both sides of the palace gate were emitting a dim yellow glow, swaying back and forth in the night wind. The guards guarding the palace gate wore swords on their waists and looked straight ahead, serious and murderous.
The carriages parked opposite the palace gate drove away one after another.
After the old man got into the car, he pulled his arms back. His face straightened, and his drunkenness completely disappeared. "Something's going on in the Nansang Palace. It's definitely going on! Burp! Gan family, you tell me! I was just trying to block the wine for you back then, and now I'm really full! If you say a few more words, I'm afraid the wine will pour out of my throat! ... Damn it, when I get back, I'll do some serious research and come up with something good to help with the alcohol!"
Knowing that drinking would be necessary at the banquet, the old man took hangover pills early in the morning.
But hangover pills can only help people drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but they can’t help people drink a thousand cups without feeling bloated. The old man has to pee urgently!
Both of his granddaughters were in the car. No matter how carefree the old man was, he didn't want to be rude in front of his granddaughters. He could only hold his belly and squeeze his legs together.
What a fucking torture!
Gan Zhenyu coughed lightly to clear his throat, pretending not to see the old man's embarrassment, so as to avoid being held accountable later.
He said, "Yan Changkong left the banquet early, his steps hurried and his face looked grim. Emperor Nansang also seemed a little unwell at the time. I don't know why he sent the old eunuch away... Tianbao, Mr. Bai, what's going on over there? Are you keeping an eye on Yan Changkong?"
Bai Yu raised his head and sighed, then reached out, "We saw Yan Changkong when he left the main hall. We followed him as far as the Imperial Garden, but we couldn't go any further. Yan Changkong must have ordered martial law. Suddenly, many secret guards appeared in the direction of the Imperial Garden towards the palace complex, and their murderous intent was strong. Tianbao and I were worried about alerting the enemy, so we had to retreat. But Tianbao might have something to gain."
Hearing this, the others all looked at Tianbao.
