Chapter 660: Such a huge tumor appeared in Northern Qi!
The closer they were to Blue Rain, the greater the risk. Plus, since they were driving a car, the chances of being discovered would be even greater.
During this period, they still had to pass through several Blue Rain cities before they could reach the Blue Rain capital.
The night was as dark as ink, with continuous drizzle. The weather was cloudy and rainy, not much better than that of Northern Qi.
A carriage that had just passed the city gate inspection drove away from the crowd slowly. Gu Yanjing sat in the front room of the carriage and tightened his straw raincoat to cover the waterproof raincoat he was wearing underneath.
"Third brother, let me drive the carriage!"
"It's okay. You stay inside and look after my sister-in-law. The weather has been bad these days, it's been raining a lot, and the roads are not easy to walk on. Don't get bumped around..."
In fact, Gu Yanjing drove the carriage smoothly and steadily, and the shock absorption effect was even better after Gu Yanchen made some modifications to the carriage.
Ran Qingxuan listened to the interaction between the two brothers with a mixture of laughter and tears, and gently placed her hand on her belly, feeling the tiny baby.
Even though Gu Yanchen was sitting on the side, his eyes never left her belly, and the love emanating from his eyes was unprecedented.
The child was obviously not born yet and was obviously so young, but when they really felt it, they couldn't help but feel happy for the child.
It was as if all the worries in the world were gone, leaving only the love and anticipation for the unborn child.
"This is the last city to the capital of Blue Rain Country. As long as we pass through this city, we will arrive in about two hours if we drive at night."
The road to the capital of Blue Rain Kingdom is relatively easy to travel, but the surrounding mountains are scattered, and the further you walk, the dark and damp feeling becomes more and more overwhelming.
It was unknown what they were about to encounter, but the three of them were not worried about it.
Having decided to drive there in the evening, the three of them did not continue to move forward in the rain, but drove the carriage to a secluded valley outside the city.
"Let's go into the space and stay there until night. After we arrive outside the capital of Blue Rain Country, we may have to wait until morning to enter the city."
Gu Yanchen drove the car to a dilapidated temple and stopped. Ran Qingxuan saw through the night vision goggles what seemed to be a figure passing by in front.
"I think there's someone over there."
Gu Yanchen looked in the direction of her finger and motioned for her to put the car away.
"Go over there and take shelter from the rain first."
The three of them approached slowly with umbrellas in hand and stood under the temple. The rain dripped down the edge of the house and onto the umbrellas, splashing tiny drops of water.
The already mottled walls of the temple were covered with dry vines, which made the walls creak when the wind blew.
"Watch your step." Gu Yanchen reminded in a low voice, and helped the two people step into the temple one after another.
The damp air was filled with a smell of decay. The candlestick on the altar had long been extinguished, leaving only half a candle sticking crookedly.
Gu Yanchen stretched out his hand and gently touched the edge of the altar. He felt slight bumps and depressions on his fingertips and confirmed that it was a secret signal left by his people.
“Squeak…”
There was the sound of a wooden door opening behind me, and an old man with a hunched back walked in with a cane.
Gu Yanchen's eyes flashed, and he stretched out his left hand to protect Ran Qingxuan behind him, with his right hand already on the hilt of the sword.
The old man walked unsteadily, ignoring the three people and walked straight to the altar. He took out a fire starter, blew it out, and tremblingly lit the half candle on the altar.
In the dim light, his voice was hoarse and low: "The wind tonight is so strong that it makes my bones ache!"
"Yes, especially the wind blowing from the north, which carries the smell of blood." Gu Yanchen put down his hand on the hilt of the sword and responded.
When the secret signal matched, a gleam of light flashed in the old man's turbid eyes. After quickly looking around, he knocked the ground in front of the table three times with the walking stick in his hand.
"Come with me!"
The group of four went into the back hall, and the old man took out a loose floor tile from the floor and pulled the ring inside.
There was a sound of iron chains turning, and soon a deep hole appeared on the ground of the vegetable garden. Going down the stone steps, a fairly spacious secret room appeared.
"Master? Madam?"
A familiar face appeared at the corner, and An Er's figure appeared in front of them.
"Have you contacted Xiaoliu, Ada and the others?"
Gu Yanchen stepped forward to ask, and An Er answered truthfully: "Yes, Liuzi and his men disguised themselves as peddlers doing business and had already figured out the terrain of the palace and the general terrain of the Balanch Mansion."
As he spoke, An Er frowned and said, "Ballanhe is very suspicious. There are poisonous insects guarding the mansion day and night. If it weren't for Liuzi and the others' alertness, we would have been discovered several times."
Gu Yanchen raised his hand to signal him not to say anything yet and asked what he wanted to know.
"Have you found out where my fourth brother is now?"
An Er nodded, walked towards the distribution map of the Blue Rain Palace drawn on the wall, and pointed to the area circled in cinnabar.
“This is the deepest part of the palace dungeon. The Fourth Master is imprisoned in this location, and the time is unstable.
After half a year of surveillance, Liuzi was sure that once Balanch needed the Fourth Master, he would go to the palace to release him.
Once they are no longer needed, they will be sent back to the palace for guarding. The palace dungeon is heavily guarded, so there is a good chance..."
"And according to the news brought back by Ah Da, many unfamiliar faces have appeared in the palace recently, and almost all of them are masters."
Gu Yanchen's expression was somewhat solemn. His fourth brother should not be treated like a commodity and taken advantage of by others.
"Have you found out why there are so many masters in the palace?"
An Er shook his head: "No, the emperor of Blue Rain is still alive. Although he has no children, it is not time to fight for the throne yet."
"But those people first appeared in Balanch's mansion, and then gradually appeared in the palace. It seems that they were there to guard the Fourth Master in the dungeon!"
Ran Qingxuan frowned slightly as he listened to An Er's report.
All this seemed a little too sudden.
"Do you know when those masters appeared in Balanch's mansion?"
An Er: "It was more than two months ago..."
At this point, An Er suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened and he said anxiously: "According to the time given by Ah Da, it should be the time when An Liu and I set out for Blue Rain."
The couple looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
"Sang Yu... I never thought that Northern Qi would produce such a big cancer like you!"
It seems that Balanch arranged for the experts to enter the palace because he got the information from Sang Yu, otherwise the timing would be too coincidental.
"Also, the guards in the dungeon will change shifts every hour, and there will be a half-minute break between shift changes."
All this information was gathered by Ada, Liuzi and the others during this period of time. As Gu Yanchen was not around, they did not dare to take any action other than gathering information.
"So far, Liuzi can only find out this much. As for how to avoid the patrolling guards, there is no plan yet."
"Where did An Liu go?"
An Er replied: "She is good at Qinggong and has been gathering information in the Blue Rain Palace these past few nights."
