Chapter 605: Do you plan to stay here for a few more days as an ancestor?
Back in the room of the inn, the six of them sat around the table.
On the way back from the pancake shop to the inn, they heard no less than four groups of people chatting about Buddhist offerings, the man in white robes, someone whose surname was Bai, someone from the Middle Earth...
"King Human really put a lot of effort into luring us away. These 'gossips' were already spreading to our ears before we even entered the city. They almost named the person who went to the other palace, and that was Uncle Bai." There was no one else in the room, and Little Wheat Ear rolled his eyes.
Su Wu was happy. "That's the downside of being young. People always think of you as a rookie with little experience. Uncle Yang, is the flow of information between the Outer Realm and the Central Plains really that slow? Major events in the Central Plains don't often make it over here."
Su Wu reasonably suspected this was the case.
Otherwise, there would be no reason for the Human King to look down on them so much.
Yang Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If they were rookies, there would be no place for rookies to survive. "Although the Central Plains and the Outer Realm are wary of each other and hostile to each other, the information is not so delayed. There are many places like Wujin City in the Outer Realm where merchants from both regions gather. Naturally, the Outer Realm also hears news from the Central Plains, but it's just not as detailed."
"King Human has been on the throne for over twenty years. Ever since his father's generation, he's been conquering the surrounding tribes, always winning every battle. Today, the Human army is mighty and powerful. He doesn't underestimate us simply because he hasn't heard of us wanted criminals, but he doesn't underestimate himself. Human is his territory, his home turf. If we were to clash here, he'd have what he believes is an advantage." Bai Yu spoke pointedly, "Most importantly, King Human has no intention of confronting us head-on, otherwise he wouldn't have spread these rumors to confuse us and try to divert our attention. He's not seeking out our godfather to become our enemy now, but to achieve another goal."
Several people nearby were watching him, listening intently, but he paused, curved his peach blossom eyes and poked the woman beside him, "Wife, go on."
Everyone, “…”
Xiao Maisui just pooh-poohed it. Bai Yu was such a nagging king! He was always doing little things to show that he was her sister's husband!
So annoying!
Tian Bao scratched his chin, feeling helpless and amused, and said readily, "So Godfather's life is not in danger in his hands for the time being. We don't need to be influenced by him, just continue to act according to his plan."
Bai Yu smiled and said, "Everyone, Tianbao has said everything I wanted to say."
You guys are disgusted again.
Tianbao sighed, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved. Just pamper your own people.
Before they got married, she said that she would treat him as well as Tom Cruise treated Ru, and that she would be responsible for her words.
"We must act tonight, sooner rather than later." Tian Bao continued, "After nightfall, you will leave the city and provide cover for me to distract the attackers. I will scout the way to the palace."
After the discussion, Bai Yu drove the four people out of the room, and was slapped by the angry old man before closing the door.
Only after the door was closed did Tianbao take out the small note hidden in his sleeve.
It was given to me by a passerby when I was walking out of the pancake shop.
"What's written on it?" Bai Yu walked to her side, leaned closer, and looked at the words on the note with her.
Chinese character.
Scribbled on it were the words "Bai Zai Wang Gong Nan".
The couple looked at each other and both raised their eyebrows.
"Master of the Silver Hairpin."
"The Queen Dowager."
I think the only person who would pass on the secret information to them is the Queen Mother, the one who was rumored to have reunited with her godfather's relatives in the past few days.
"From what I've found, that Queen Dowager has been in the palace for over forty years. She was the most favored concubine of the previous Hu Man king. After the previous king's death, the queen's eldest son ascended to the throne, and the favored concubine became the Queen Dowager. However, without support in the palace, her life has been difficult." Before setting foot on the Hu Man border, Bai Yu had ordered the Sha Palace and Wang Que Tower to jointly investigate the Hu Man royal family's information. The data is comprehensive. "If she and godfather are really relatives, and she has come to us after all these years, she must have some ulterior motive. And now she's passing on information to us—"
Bai Yu raised his lip and smiled sarcastically, "Jiu'er, do you think she is an enemy or a friend?"
"Whether she's a friend or foe is up to Godfather to decide." Tian Bao raised her hand and pinched his cheek, raising her eyebrows domineeringly, "When have we ever made a ladder for anyone?"
"Jiu'er~ Stop pinching my face..."
"pinch."
"Then be gentle?"
"Stand up straight first."
“…”
…
It was getting dark and the sky was beginning to dim.
Bright lights lit up in the city.
The guests who had stayed overnight at the inn checked out and left. The six of them got on a rented carriage at the door and headed towards the city gate.
As soon as the carriage started moving, the spies hiding in various corners outside the inn would send out secret signals and monitor the entire route. They did not relax even after the carriage left the city.
"Your Majesty, the target has left the city and headed for Jingshan."
"Make sure all six are gone."
"Confirmed. After the six of them left the inn, they boarded the carriage. It didn't stop until they left the city gate, and no one got off."
"Su Jiuni and Bai Yu and their group are all cunning people. We must not be careless. We must keep a close eye on them until they leave Human."
"yes!"
As the spy knelt in the palace to report, a wisp of black smoke, hidden in the darkness, crept into the palace. It was as fast and treacherous as a flashing ghost, and no one noticed it.
As March got warmer, the side halls south of the palace were filled with the fragrance of flowers.
The lights were on in the hall, and the west window was propped up, letting in an orange light.
The man in the moon-colored robe placed a low table on the small couch by the window, spread out rice paper and started painting.
He holds his chin with one hand, his body tilted, his posture lazy and casual, while the brush in his other hand is dipped in ink and smeared on the rice paper, as casually as graffiti.
After stopping writing, he felt dissatisfied and crumpled the rice paper into a ball and threw it at his feet.
Looking around the couch and low table, there are seven or eight paper balls like this, scattered in the four corners.
Suddenly a breeze blew outside the window, and the flame of the lamp burning in the corner of the low table flickered twice.
The man put the brush on the jade pen mountain, stretched his arms and extinguished the lamp with his backhand.
The entire palace was plunged into darkness.
Only two still bright lanterns hung from the corners of the palace gate, providing light, but the light did not reach the west window.
"Godfather, you didn't suffer, did you?" After the noises in the darkness around him faded away, a woman's cold and laughing voice floated in from outside the window, very low and light as the wind.
Bai Xiaofeng turned around and leaned back against the window, the corners of his lips curled up high, and snorted, "Is your godfather someone who can endure hardship? There are people watching around, don't stay."
As he said this, he gathered up the paper ball at his feet and stuffed it out of the window, moving carefully to avoid the trap set by the window.
Tianbao was also very careful when catching the paper ball.
This window has black threads as thin as hair hanging across it, and a thumb-sized bell is connected to the wooden frame at the top. If there is any human movement, the thread will vibrate and ring.
"Godfather made this out of boredom. This is the complete map of the Divine Weapon Diagram, but I drew it in pieces. Take it back and piece it together. Do you still remember the Six Palaces Formation I taught you?"
"Remember."
"The Human King wants the map of the divine weapons. The person who went to get it should be in the land of exile now. Don't try to stop him. If he wants to explore the secrets and search for treasures, let him do it. Go and clear out the treasure land before he does. If you leave even a speck of dust for him, Godfather, you will consider it unfilial. I will let him eat dust, humph!"
Tianbao, "If you don't come with me now, do you plan to stay here and be the ancestor for a few more days?"
"Of course, I will never let go of any grudges, and I never suffer any loss."
“…”
It seems that he really didn't suffer at all.
They can also plot against others.
Tianbao left with the crumpled paper ball in his hand, as quietly as he had come.
The man was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. He really wasn't worried about him at all.
Unfilial daughter!
