Creed of the heavens

Hiding in the corner and watching a few young palace maids passing by chatting and laughing, Lu Xiao completed the disguise in a very short period of time and became the leading palace maid.

The eagle eye vision scanned the huge dragon boat, and Lu Xiao found that the cabin part of the ship was divided into three floors. The upper two floors were more heavily guarded, and the bottom floor only had a few life responses.

But the life energy of these few elites far exceeds that of the ordinary soldiers above, and they should be elite soldiers who specialize in guarding Yang Guang's treasure house.

Along the way, Lu Xiao saw people talking about people and talking nonsense, relying on her seamless disguise, she successfully fooled the guards on the upper two floors of the cabin.

But it's not so easy to get to the lowest level.

"stop!"

As soon as he walked down the stairs, one of the soldiers stared at Lu Xiao with piercing eyes: "This is a forbidden area, no one is allowed to approach without His Majesty's permission!"

Lu Xiao controlled the muscles on her face and showed a smile that met the expectations of the people: "Everyone has worked hard. Your Majesty ordered me to check the situation of the Shennong Ding. Recently, Your Majesty is going to call alchemists to use the Shennong to refine the elixir of life."

"Shen Nong Cauldron?"

Seeing Lu Xiao standing on the stairs in an orderly manner, the tension of the soldiers dissipated slightly.

"Don't worry, the tripod is stored in the deepest part of the treasure house, and the responsibility is on you. Please forgive us for not allowing you to act at will."

"Haha, it's okay."

Lu Xiao had an unclear smile on her face, glanced at the direction of "Shen Nong Cauldron" and turned around to leave.

"Please continue to guard it strictly, so that no accidents will happen when His Majesty sends someone to fetch the tripod."

Seeing the maid serving by His Majesty's side swaying away, one of the soldiers asked the officer next to him in puzzlement: "Captain, can the Shennong Cauldron really make the elixir of life?"

"I don't know, and I'm not interested in knowing."

The captain patted the soldier on the back expressionlessly: "Don't inquire about things you shouldn't know, be careful not to lose your head, everyone cheer up!"

"Oh!"

The reason why Lu Xiao turned around so simply and left was because he confirmed that the Shennong Ding in the treasure house was a fake, and he couldn't feel any spiritual power from the quaint bronze tripod in the treasure house.

Just as there are counterfeit Kunlun mirrors, there are many legends about other artifacts in the world, and it is inevitable that there will be counterfeit objects.

In other words, the real Shennong Ding has not been transported to Daliang, and it is likely to be robbed by Cheng Yaojin halfway?

There is no new news from Yongzhen who has just set off. Since it is confirmed that the Shennong Ding is not in the dragon boat, Lu Xiao plans to sneak out of here as quickly as possible, so as not to be caught by the expert who arranged the enchantment.

"bang bang"

When Lu Xiao walked to the first floor of the cabin and was about to return to the deck, the crisp sound of armor rubbing came from above.

Lu Xiao's heart moved, and she temporarily stood on the edge of the stairs to give up her position, and lowered her head slightly to let the people pass first.

With a strong life response, he should be a general with good force.

"what?"

Just when the armored general was about to move on, he suddenly stopped, looked at Lu Xiao and asked with some doubts: "Major lady, why are you here?"

Uh

Lu Xiao felt a bit pained, but he still replied calmly: "Return to the general, Your Majesty plans to start refining the elixir of life in the near future, and ordered me to check the situation of Shennongding in advance."

"Is it immortal?"

The general, who looked less than 30 years old, had a disapproving expression on his face, but he didn't say much, nodded and continued to walk deep into the cabin.

"Yang Shuo, wait!"

Another burly man rushed over from the deck, holding a huge hammer in his hand, and immediately put on a fighting posture when he saw Lu Xiao.

"This guy is a fake! I just met the head of the palace in front of His Majesty's seat!"

"what?!"

The young general known as Yang Shuo hurriedly turned around, pulled out a sharp long sword from his waist, and stared at Lu Xiao's flawless face with a frown.

"Hu Lu'an, are you sure?"

Yang Shuo showed doubts on his face: "You know that I am a son of the clan, and I will never admit the appearance of the court lady. Could it be that the one next to Your Majesty is the fake one?"

"Uh"

Hu Lu'an is a simple-minded vulgar person. When Yang Shuo said this, he was a little uncertain.

At a critical juncture, Lu Xiao began to show off her acting skills.

There was a look of horror on his face, and he said with a trembling voice: "There is another me beside Your Majesty?! Two generals, please ask Grand Master Yu to protect Your Majesty immediately, it must be an assassin!"

The faces of the two generals holding weapons changed at the same time, and they exchanged glances.

Yang Shuo volunteered and said: "I'll go, if the one over there is a fake, I can recognize it at a glance."

"Major lady, I am wronged that you stay here for the time being, I will confirm the authenticity as soon as possible."

After Yang Shuo left quickly, there was only Tie Hanhan who was scratching his head in a daze.

Now that suspicion has been aroused, with Yang Shuo's footsteps, the time left for Lu Xiao counts, and he must escape the dragon boat before a large number of people arrive.

Under the surveillance of Hu Lu'an, Lu Xiao suddenly looked at the top of the stairs in surprise: "Master Yu, you came at the right time, please help me prove my innocence!"

"Ok?"

Hu Lu'an subconsciously turned his head to look at the stairs. Lu Xiao activated it the moment he turned his head, and cut his neck with a palm from behind. Hu Lu'an rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground without saying a word.

This stupid big man is Yutuo's loyal subordinate. Although he looks very scary, he is actually a simple and kind soldier. Lu Xiao didn't make up for him.

After tidying up the fluttering court ladies' clothes, before attracting the attention of other soldiers, Lu Xiao kicked Hu Lu'an to a dark corner of the cabin, and went up the stairs to the deck at an elegant but quick pace.

Compared with the relatively calm cabin, Lu Xiao could see the surging undercurrent from the alert posture of the soldiers on the deck.

Passing by under the scrutinizing eyes of the soldiers, Lu Xiao gradually came to the stern of the dragon boat.

Just as Lu Xiao was thinking about how to reconcile with Yongzhen, a heroic young man standing with a sword appeared in his eyes, and Lu Xiao had to stop.

"Intruder, you really chose to escape from the stern."

When this person's different-colored eyes looked at the disguised Lu Xiao, a strange color flashed in his eyes: "Is it the disguise technique? No wonder you can pass the peripheral defense."

"Chong!"

Pulling out the golden sword from the scabbard, Yu Tuo said calmly, "No matter what your purpose of infiltrating into the Dragon Boat Flagship is, as the Grand Master of the Sui Dynasty, I have the obligation to take you down and send you to His Majesty for judgment."
