"Alright, now go and gather the men. Tonight, you will lead everyone to the palace to search for the red vine, while I will stay here to guard the prince."
"If anything unusual happens on your end, send someone over for backup immediately!"
Pei Xuan told Duan Nian to hurry up and take action.
After Duan Nian nodded, he immediately went to gather people.
Before long, Duan Nian had gathered all the people he had counted earlier.
"Next, I'm going to lead everyone to raid the royal treasury of the Dark Moon Kingdom. If anyone is afraid, it's not too late to back out now."
As Duan Nian spoke, the people around him immediately echoed in unison.
"Everything for the Prince! We will never back down!"
"Captain Duan, please take us with you!"
They had made their decision: even if it cost them their lives, they would break into the Mingyue Kingdom's palace treasury, find the Red Vine, and rescue Qi Guze.
"Alright! Now that everyone is mentally prepared, let's set off!"
After saying that, Duan Nian put on a black mask, and soon his subordinates opposite him had also put on their masks.
After everyone had finished disguising themselves, they flew towards the King's Palace of the Underworld Moon Kingdom.
As soon as they left, Xu Yuehuai, who had been resting inside, suddenly came out from the corner and looked thoughtfully in the direction Duan Nian and the others had left.
Just as she suspected, Pei Xuan and Duan Nian were hiding something from her, and it was all related to Qi Guze.
Xu Yuehuai looked up at Qi Guze's room upstairs and saw Pei Xuan standing guard at Qi Guze's door, looking particularly vigilant!
Qi Guze's wounds were definitely more than just arrow wounds; otherwise, why would Duan Nian have led people to storm the Mingyue Kingdom's palace?
Xu Yuehuai didn't know where Duan Nian and the others were going to the Mingyue Kingdom's palace, but if she went with them, she could definitely take a safe route and not be discovered. She could also go and help them out.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuehuai went back and secretly changed into a set of night clothes. She then quickly followed the marks she had made on Duan Nian's body.
She had previously placed a sachet on both Duan Nian and Pei Xuan. Now, by simply holding a specially made insect, the insect could smell the sachet and follow the route Duan Nian had just taken.
Duan Nian certainly didn't notice that she was carrying a special sachet. Xu Yuehuai followed the flying insects smoothly and soon arrived at the city wall of the Mingyue Kingdom's palace.
She walked to a corner of the city wall and saw some small marks there, as if something had been moved.
Xu Yuehuai squatted down and stroked the white ash on the ground in the corner of the city wall.
Xu Yuehuai crushed the white ash between his fingers, smelled it, and immediately determined that it was a corrosive powder.
Simply apply it to the stone, and the stone's surface will be eroded away in no time.
She quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands clean, then tapped the surrounding city wall bricks, trying to find the ones that had been tampered with.
After tapping on the bricks for a long time, Xu Yuehuai finally found a tampered brick. It was loose and could be pushed out with a gentle push.
Xu Yuehua smiled, surprised that she had found the palace entrance that Duan Nian and the others had secretly prepared so easily.
She pushed the loose bricks out one by one, and after many bricks were pushed aside, a hole large enough for an adult to pass through was revealed.
Immediately, Xu Yuehuai crawled into the hole and quickly entered the palace.
However, Xu Yuehuai had no idea about the routes inside the palace, but she wasn't afraid at all. She continued to follow the scent of the sachet and track Duan Nian and the others.
After following them for a while, Xu Yuehuai soon arrived at a tall building. The building was heavily guarded, and it was clearly not an ordinary place. There must be many precious treasures inside.
"So Duan Nian and the others were heading to the treasure vault inside the Mingyue Kingdom's palace!"
Xu Yuehuai guessed that this tall building must be the treasure vault of the Mingyue Kingdom's palace!
Now that Duan Nian and the others have come to this treasure pavilion, they must be looking for that red vine they just mentioned!
I wonder what serious injury Qi Guze suffered that required the precious red vine seeds for treatment!
The fact that they have to go to the treasure vault of the King of the Underworld Moon Palace to find the Red Vine means that Qi Guze's injuries must be extremely serious!
Xu Yuehuai was very worried about Qi Guze and only wanted to do more for him so that his injuries could heal as soon as possible.
Now, Duan Nian and his group have somehow managed to enter the treasure vault of the King of the Underworld Moon Kingdom.
Xu Yuehuai's lightness skill and other abilities were inferior to Duan Nian's, and with so many royal guards guarding the area, she simply had no way to sneak into the palace treasury alone.
So Xu Yuehuai stood guard outside the royal treasury, so that if Duan Nian and the others were in any danger, she could promptly find someone to come and rescue them.
She waited outside the royal treasury, hiding in a clump of grass. People patrolled around occasionally, but Xu Yuehuai lay perfectly still in the grass, and no one noticed her presence.
There was no movement inside the royal treasury. If Xu Yuehuai hadn't followed the scent of the sachet to find them, she probably would have guessed that Duan Nian and the others had gone somewhere else.
Xu Yuehuai waited for a long time outside the royal palace treasury, but Duan Nian and the others did not take any further action.
Is the royal palace's treasury exceptionally large? Have Duan Nian and the others not finished searching it yet?
But now more than an hour has passed, and they should have found it by now!
Just as Xu Yuehuai was speculating, a burst of fireworks suddenly erupted above the royal palace treasury!
It seems that Duan Nian and the others triggered some mechanism while searching for something, which is why the signal flare was launched.
"Someone's trying to rob the treasure vault!"
"Go quickly and tell His Majesty the King!"
"Everyone, quickly guard the area around the treasure vault! Don't let the thieves escape!"
Hearing the guards talking in the royal palace treasury, Xu Yuehuai couldn't help but worry. Would Duan Nian and the others encounter any danger inside the royal palace treasury?
Suddenly, more and more people gathered around, completely surrounding the royal treasury. Outside, there were guards, holding knives and pointing them at the entrances and exits of the royal treasury!
"Who is that scoundrel inside? Surrender now and come out!"
Despite the shouts of the guards with swords, there was no response from the royal treasury, as if the signal flare had been a mere illusion, and perhaps no one was inside.
