Chapter 661 Who is helping secretly?
As he was speaking, there was some movement outside. The old man left from another place, and after a while An Liu came down.
"Master, Madam, Third Master!"
An Liu saluted, stood up and took out a token from his arms.
"I have been following a soldier patrolling the dungeon for the past two days. This soldier drank a few glasses of wine tonight. When he went to the toilet before his shift change..."
"I got this token from him. Please rest assured, I cleaned it many times..."
Gu Yanchen pursed his lips and said nothing. Ran Qingxuan held back his laughter and took the token from An Liu, but immediately put it into the space for disinfection...
It doesn't matter whether you need a token or not, what matters is that you can get close to the dungeon.
"Have you found out any other information?"
An Liu nodded: "There is one more thing. I found that... someone in the palace seems to be secretly reminding me..."
"Remind of what?"
An Liu looked a little puzzled, and replied: "The token can indeed pass through most areas of the palace, but there are many poisonous insects placed near the dungeon, so it is difficult to sneak in..."
“However, I have learned that before Balanch enters the dungeon, he will shed the first drop of blood on the ground, and those poisonous insects will not come near.
And the source of the blood is Blue Rain’s current emperor, He Chengxuan. ”
Ran Qingxuan raised his eyebrows: "So, only the blood of the royal bloodline can be immune to the attack of the poisonous insects?"
"Yes, there have always been dungeons in the palace. Not even Balanch can control the Gu insects around the dungeons. No one except those with royal blood can get close."
"I have approached the dungeon many times recently and found some traces. Someone left marks there to remind people that important people are imprisoned in the dungeon, and how to enter..."
"Did you see who did it?"
"It was a palace maid. She had a close relationship with a guard patrolling the dungeon. During a private meeting, I saw the mark she made with my own eyes."
There was a brief silence in the secret room. The information that An Liu had found out was very important. Even with the token, it would not be easy to enter the dungeon now.
Royal blood...
There was no way of knowing whether there were any poisonous insects in the dungeon. Ran Qingxuan and Gu Yanchen looked at each other and saw seriousness in each other's eyes.
Ran Qingxuan is pregnant, and not only does she have to take the risk of sneaking into the palace, she also has to find a way to obtain the royal bloodline.
"Let's leave first. It's a little late today. Let's go to Guodu and meet up with Liuzi and the others after daybreak."
The city gate ban is not only in Northern Qi, but also in Blue Rain. Moreover, Blue Rain’s city gate ban is even stricter than Northern Qi’s.
Before dawn, Ran Qingxuan left the space. The two brothers lit a fire in the makeshift tent. Even though it was drizzling, she didn't feel very cold.
While eating breakfast, many Blue Rain people wearing dark green or black clothes passed by.
Since entering Blue Rain, the three of them would change their appearance every time they arrived in a city.
Sometimes they were dressed as businessmen, sometimes as a couple going out for fun, and Gu Yanjing naturally dressed up as a coachman.
Today, when they entered the capital of Blue Rain Country, the three of them painted their faces and changed into Blue Rain people's clothes before they drove the carriage to pass the interrogation of the officers and soldiers.
Unlike the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Blue Rain Palace was built by flattening half of a mountain, with a small part embedded in the weight of the mountain. Its structure is somewhat similar to the Bula Palace.
The structure is multi-layered, with gold and red colors interlaced. The open platforms and palaces can be seen under the clouds with the naked eye.
The high steps show the inaccessibility of the palace, and the mountain terrain is used to increase the defense and majesty. There are many towers on the high walls, so that the city gate or further away can be seen at any time.
There are many stilt buildings at the foot of the palace, but they are difficult to see clearly from too far away.
However, the wooden houses are densely distributed, making the streets seem a bit narrow. Although only the market can be seen around, fields can still be seen further away.
In fact, the entire Blue Rain Kingdom is not even half the size of the Northern Qi Kingdom, but it is densely populated, and three to five out of ten people raise Gu.
They use these things to do business in the underworld, so after they drove the carriage in, they could occasionally see some outsiders in strange costumes.
"Why does Blue Rain seem so poor..."
Hearing Ran Qingxuan's complaints, Gu Yanchen explained: "It seems that He Chengxuan is the ruler of Blue Rain, but in fact the court has long been controlled by Balanch. He Chengxuan is now at such an age and has no offspring. He is probably not far from death. How can he have the energy to care about the lives of the people?"
"Besides, Blue Rain is not strong enough to fight a war, so it can only rely on poisonous insects to protect itself."
Ran Qingxuan listened silently. The carriage stopped at an inconspicuous small bungalow. After knocking on the door, someone came to answer it soon.
The person who opened the door welcomed the person in and looked outside vigilantly for a few minutes. He stood there and waited for a few minutes, making sure that no one was paying attention to this side before closing the door.
Liuzi, Ada and others have been waiting in Blue Rain for several months, waiting for Gu Yanchen to come. After all, it is not easy to release information from this place. In all these months, they have only released news once.
When several people reported the news, Ran Qingxuan was also sitting nearby. The men lived casually, but after feeling a little cold in the room, they asked Liuzi to go to the carriage to get a blanket.
Liuzi felt strange, but went anyway.
They thought it was Gu Yanchen who wanted to use it, but in the shocked eyes of several people, they saw their master carefully covering Ran Qingxuan's legs with the blanket.
"It's a little cold in the room, don't catch a cold."
The gentle look in his eyes was something they had never seen before.
In just a few months, they had no idea that the relationship between the master and his wife had become so good...
After Gu Yanchen noticed it, he coughed lightly, and the others quickly came back to their senses.
"You don't have to take any action these few days. We will go to the palace tonight to investigate."
An Liu mentioned that a palace maid deliberately left a message in the palace dungeon. It is not certain whether Balanch deliberately led them there, but they have to know who the palace maid belongs to.
The room had been arranged, and Ran Qingxuan asked after everyone went back.
"Are you planning to go to the palace with your third brother tonight?"
"Well, according to the time given by An Liu, the maid will go to the guard patrolling the dungeon tonight to have a tryst. We'll see which palace she comes from first."
If the palace maid is related to Balanch, then this reminder is definitely directed at them.
No one wants to jump directly into the fire, so it's best to err on the side of caution.
"How about I go with you and Third Brother?" She was still a little worried.
"No, you just rest here. My third brother and I are only going to the palace to confirm whether the mark is a trick. If it is confirmed, we will make a detailed plan."
"Oh well..."
Later that night, Gu Yanchen put on his nightgown and headed straight to the palace with Gu Yanjing, wearing medicine to avoid being discovered by the poisonous insects.
