Chapter 230 Breaking into the Palace at Night
Lin Pianran took out a compound bow and shot at the secret guards without mercy.
In just a quarter of an hour, with the cooperation of Huo Yuchen and the Black Cloud Guard, those secret guards were killed in a panic, with countless casualties.
Huo Yuchen was invincible all the way and rushed straight in as if he was in an empty place.
Hearing the sounds of fighting here, more and more secret guards rushed out from all directions of Prince Zhao's Mansion.
Seeing that everyone in Prince Zhao's mansion was attracted away by Huo Yuchen, Lin Pianran felt that her chance had come.
She found a side door that was farther away from Huo Yuchen.
He took out a master key, opened the door easily, and then sneaked in quietly.
After entering, the mansion was pitch black and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
From the direction of Huo Yuchen, there were constant sounds of fighting and the collision of weapons, and the sounds could be heard from far away.
Lin Pianran walked in the opposite direction.
She didn't dare turn on the flashlight and could only grope her way forward in the dark, stopping and starting.
While walking slowly, he observed the movements around him.
Suddenly, a man's low voice came clearly from the darkness.
"Master, suddenly so many masked men in black rushed in. They are all highly skilled in martial arts. It's obvious they have bad intentions."
The man suppressed the anger in his voice and said gruffly, "Whoever it is, if they dare to send someone to trespass into Prince Zhao's mansion, they will never return. Their lives will be taken away and thrown into the garden as fertilizer!"
"But...but those people's martial arts skills are extremely high. Our people can't resist them at all. Many of them have died!"
"Useless! You can't even handle a few petty thieves who broke into the mansion at night. What's the point of training you for so long?"
After a moment of silence, the man spoke again, "Let Huo Ye deal with them. He's quite skilled and should be able to delay them for a while. I'll go find my second brother to discuss countermeasures."
"The Fourth Young Master is not at home. I heard he went out to look for medicine again..."
The man snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "After all these years, you still haven't given up?"
"Trying to cure the strange poison in him is futile. It's better to be obedient and maybe live longer!"
"He can't even comprehend this logic. He's a fool, just like his mother, hopelessly stupid!"
After a long scolding, the man said, "Let the butler go. His skills are unmatched and he will definitely be able to capture the leader of the thieves first."
Another person responded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes... I'll ask the butler to help right away. He's probably already gone to bed."
After the two men finished speaking, they quickly split up into two groups and went in different directions.
Lin Pianran didn't care how they responded. No matter how they tried, they couldn't resist the Black Cloud Guards led by Huo Yuchen.
She wasn't worried at all.
Lin Pianran found a deserted direction and continued forward.
She couldn't see the road clearly, and the rain in the air made it even more difficult to determine the direction.
It was pitch black and I didn't dare turn on the light, feeling like a headless fly.
After walking for a while, Lin Pianran stopped and thought that walking around blindly was not a good idea.
Her target was the wealth and warehouses of Prince Zhao's mansion.
As long as we find a way to empty the Zhao Palace of all its gold, silver and treasures, the Zhao Palace will be unable to do anything else without the support of money.
She found a lone maid, grabbed her, covered her mouth, and asked coldly, "Tell me the location of every place in the mansion in detail, otherwise, I will kill you immediately!"
The maid was very timid, and threats were very effective. She answered all the questions honestly.
After she finished her confession, Lin Pianran knocked her unconscious. The drug was so strong that she would definitely sleep until noon tomorrow and might not even wake up.
Then he stripped off her coat and put it on himself.
After disguising herself, Lin Pianran ran towards the warehouse.
She kept muttering excitedly, "Hey babies, I'm here. I guess you've been waiting for a long time!"
"Don't worry, don't panic, it will be in my bowl soon..."
When she arrived in front of the warehouse, she was dumbfounded.
There were several rows of guards standing there, on full alert, watching closely.
I guess if a fly passes by, it will be swatted to death on the spot.
It seems that we still have to find a way to lure them away.
Lin Pianran took out several Molotov cocktails from the space without hesitation and threw them into the nearby buildings.
It was drizzling outside, so she could only throw it inside the building, hoping that the fire would start, otherwise all her plans would be in vain.
In order to make the fire burn bigger, Lin Pianran even took out two small buckets of kerosene from the space to help the fire.
Hopefully it lives up to expectations.
After a cup of tea, the fire finally started and illuminated the sky above Prince Zhao's Mansion.
In order to lure away the people guarding the warehouse, Lin Pianran set three fires in a row before stopping.
She really couldn't believe that the guards could remain calm and completely indifferent after seeing the fire?
Sure enough, the guards were lured away and all rushed towards the fire.
Lin Pianran took advantage of the fact that the warehouse was empty and slipped in.
She was worried that the guards would return.
Almost like a gust of wind, all the things in the warehouse were put into the space.
This should just be a warehouse of Prince Zhao's palace. Apart from gold and silver jewelry, cloth, ornaments, furniture and food, there is not a single piece of gold or silver to be seen.
Obviously, there is a special place for storing gold and silver in Prince Zhao's palace.
But where is it? It will take some effort to find it.
After Lin Pianran left the warehouse, she found a corner and hid in the dark.
At this time, many people gathered where the fire broke out.
In the fire, Lin Pianran saw clearly that the place where the fire was burning was actually a large courtyard, where the two concubines of King Zhao lived.
At this time, they were lying on the ground crying and wailing, feeling extremely heartbroken.
The person who took the lead in directing the firefighting was Concubine Li. She stood in the crowd, busily directing, "Here, there is still a fire here, go put it out quickly..."
"Move out the things in there quickly..."
The nanny standing beside her couldn't help but say, "Princess, this fire is really strange!"
"It's raining outside! There's a fire in our house, and we've encountered a lot of thieves breaking into the palace."
"Could it be that the thieves set the fire?"
Concubine Li sighed and didn't respond. Instead, she asked, "Where's the Fourth Young Master? And Princess Mingyu? Have you seen them?"
The nanny beside Concubine Li whispered, "The Fourth Young Master is not in the mansion. The Princess should be in her room. Do you want me to wake her up?"
