Chapter 177 Arrival at the Western Qin Capital
Two days later, Xiao Yuchen planned to leave with the child. Lin Zhixue thought about it for two days and finally wanted to go with them, so she asked Xiao Yuchen.
Xiao Yuchen thought that since he had to take Bai Ran with him anyway, he might as well take her along. At least he would have someone to talk to on the road, and they could also take care of the two children together.
So, he and a few others left the secret realm together and headed towards Xi Qin.
Xiao Yuchen asked Bai Zhan to buy a carriage and several horses. Lin Zhixue and Bai Ran, together with Qiuyue and Baizhi, sat in the carriage with their two children.
Xiao Yuchen and Yue Li sat outside the carriage, driving it themselves, while Bai Zhan and the other secret guards followed on horseback.
It would take three months to travel from An County to Xiqin if it was fast, and at least five months if it was slow.
Xiao Yuchen and the others definitely couldn't walk fast. It was difficult to walk fast with two children on the road.
But the two children are very well-behaved. They don’t make much noise and go to sleep after eating.
This saved Lin Zhixue and the others a lot of trouble.
In a blink of an eye, four months passed, and Xiao Yuchen and his companions finally arrived at the territory of Western Qin. They inquired about the news of Long Gu along the way, and later found out that Long Gu was in the Western Qin Palace.
Xiao Yuchen and his companions headed straight towards the capital of Western Qin.
Since they had just arrived in Xiqin and were not familiar with the situation here, they temporarily found an inn on the street.
We booked a few guest rooms and settled down there temporarily.
Now that he had heard that the dragon bone was in the palace in the capital, he had to find a way to go to the palace, or see if there was any way to get the dragon bone.
After everyone was settled, Xiao Yuchen walked towards Bai Ran's room holding a child in each hand.
The children are now more than six months old and are fatter than when they were young. The two children lie on Xiao Yuchen's shoulders and play with his hair.
At the same time, a giggle came out of his mouth.
He came to Bai Ran's door and knocked. Hearing the voice from inside, Xiao Yuchen walked in with the child.
"Mom, now that we're here, how are we going to find out about the dragon bone?"
Now they are in Xi Qin and don’t know much about this place, and the secret guards are unable to investigate and bring back any information.
This is really a bit difficult for them.
Although Bai Zhan had already gone out to gather information, he was not sure whether he could find out any information.
When Bai Ran heard Xiao Yuchen ask this, she didn't know what to do. She could only take it one step at a time. If it really didn't work, she would discuss it with Xiao Yuchen to see if she could sneak into the palace.
That thing should have been stolen from the palace warehouse. Oh, what a pity.
It would be great if we could open Jiang Nanyuan’s space. There is an invisibility cloak inside. I just need him to put it on and sneak into the palace to steal it.
It’s a pity that Jiang Nanyuan is now in the state of a soul and the space cannot be opened.
The two talked for a while in the house and teased the child for a while.
And at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Bai Zhan's voice was heard outside, "Master."
Xiao Yuchen walked to the door and opened it. Bai Zhan immediately said, "Master, I have found some information. It is said that the dragon bone was indeed in the palace before.
Later, the emperor gave the dragon bone to the tenth princess, and now the dragon bone is in the tenth princess's mansion.
This tenth princess is the most beloved youngest daughter of the Emperor of Western Qin, and his subordinates have found out that the princess is arrogant and domineering.
If you want to get this dragon bone from her, it may not be that easy."
"Does this tenth princess live in the imperial palace?"
Xiao Yuchen thought that if the tenth princess did not live in the palace, but had a princess mansion outside, it would probably be easier to handle.
As long as I can find a way to sneak into her house, I should be able to steal it out, but it will be difficult to do so in the palace, which is not so easy to enter.
Even though he had good skills, he couldn't move freely in and out of the palace like Jiang Nanyuan without being discovered.
"My Lord, I have already done some research and the Tenth Princess is living in the palace. However, it is said that she held a banquet at the Princess's Mansion outside two days later.
It is said that all the dignitaries in the capital can attend. Why don't we sneak into the Princess's residence and find out where the dragon bones are?"
The method Bai Zhan mentioned is also feasible. After all, we don’t know where the dragon bone is now. We can secretly capture the princess and interrogate her. There is no need to worry about not being able to get the answer.
"Okay, you can arrange this matter."
To attend the banquet, one must have an invitation. Xiao Yuchen meant to let Bai Zhan handle it.
Bai Zhan immediately understood what Xiao Yuchen meant and immediately stepped back to deal with the matter.
Not long after Bai Zhan left, Yue Li came back excitedly from outside and happened to see Xiao Yuchen standing at the door and about to close it. He trotted over while fanning himself with a fan.
"Achen, don't close the door yet. I have something to tell you."
Xiao Yuchen saw Yue Li fanning herself with a fan in one hand and waving something in the other hand at him.
Xiao Yuchen didn't close the door, but just waited at the door for him to come closer. Only then did he see clearly that the thing in his hand was something similar to an invitation.
"Achen, guess what this thing in my hand is?"
Xiao Yuchen immediately remembered what Bai Zhan had just said to him, and thought that it couldn't be such a coincidence, could it be that what Yue Li was holding in her hand was the invitation to the Tenth Princess's banquet?
"Could it be a post from the Tenth Princess's Mansion?"
When Yue Li heard that Xiao Yuchen had guessed so accurately, he stared at him and blinked as if he had seen a ghost.
"How...how did you know?"
The two posts in his hand were obtained with great difficulty today.
This morning, after he had breakfast, he went to a nearby teahouse to sit down and find out some information.
If you want to know where the best news is, it’s the teahouse.
Sure enough, he found out in the teahouse that the dragon bones they needed were in the hands of the Tenth Princess, and that the Tenth Princess would hold a banquet in two days.
I heard that all the powerful people in the capital had received invitations from her.
After Yue Li learned about this situation, it happened that the young man sitting in the box next to him was also discussing this matter.
He had good hearing and could hear the conversation in the next box. From what they said, it seemed that they didn't want to go to this banquet.
It is said that this banquet was a martial arts competition held by the Tenth Princess. Whoever won the first place would be given the precious dragon bone as a prize.
These two gentlemen happened to be weak scholars who had no interest in the duel, and it was useless for them to hold the post.
After hearing this, Yue Li thought of a great idea. He straightened his clothes and decided to sell his body.
Go and exchange the invitations in the hands of these two gentlemen.
Yue Li made up an excuse and accidentally broke into their box. Then, as if she had taken a wrong turn, she calmly left.
He had an outstanding appearance and looked very charming. The two young men in the box were stunned when they saw him.
It was rare to see such a beauty in the capital, and the two of them were eager to try their luck, so they immediately chased after her.
"Young lady, please stay."
Hearing the shouting behind him, Yue Li's mouth curled up and he took the bait.
