The happy life of a prodigal

I didn't think about this issue in detail before, just because at that time, whether the emperor could be rescued was still a huge problem, so I didn't think so far.

However, now that they have multiple assistances, the possibility of rescuing the emperor has also greatly increased. This problem is on the table and has to be solved.

Otherwise, even if the emperor is rescued, they will obediently send the emperor back.

"I know a good friend who is good at the way of poisonous Gu. Even if he is very poisonous and is in a dying state, as long as he sends it to him, he can detoxify..."

Just as Fang Xiu was frowning for Fang Ru's question, the old woman beside Zhao Yan spoke.

Fang Xiu heard this, raised his eyes, looked at the old woman, and said expectantly: "Does that senior know where that senior is now?"

The old woman shook her head and said: "He left the capital half a year ago, but he doesn't know where he went. It will be difficult to find him in a while."

Hearing what she said, Fang Xiu immediately wanted to curse.

Isn't this referring to the priest in the palace who Liu Cheng said was good at the way of poisonous Gu?

If he was still in the palace, how could the old emperor become like this?

However, the second half of the old woman's sentence gave Fang Xiu renewed hope: "But, a month ago, the old woman once heard His Majesty mention it.

He should be in the begging beauty department during this time, but he doesn't know exactly where, in what capacity, or what he is doing. "

After Fang Ru heard this, she curled her lips and said, "Grassland?

When you invite him back from the grassland, the emperor... Your Majesty will probably turn into a bone..."

Speaking of this, she saw the eyes of Zhao Yan and Fang Xiu, and she dared not say any more, but said: "I don't even know what it looks like..."

"In any case, it's better than not having any news. The Begging Yan tribe is actually not that big, especially after this time, it's even more vital. The place it originally occupied has been eaten away by other tribes.

Rescue His Majesty first, and then talk about the rest. "

After he finished speaking, he looked at Liu Qing and said, "I remember that you mentioned in the exercises you gave me last time that as long as you use the correct method and practice properly, you can temporarily suppress the poisonous Gu in your body, is it true? Fake?"

"Cultivated properly... how come it sounds so like something in the script."

Fang Ru answered subconsciously, and when she saw Fang Xiu's eyes, she immediately raised her hand, tidied herself up, and said, "Shut up!"

When Liu Qing heard this question, she looked thoughtful.

After a while, he nodded and said: "It's just suppression, it cannot be eradicated, and there is a certain time limit, even with foreign aids, it can only be suppressed for half a year at most.

After half a year, the symptoms caused by the poisonous gu will only become more serious than before. "

After Fang Xiu heard this, he thought for a while, and said to himself: "Let's rescue His Majesty first, and see if we can detoxify.

If not, let him choose by himself, whether to continue to return to the palace and wait for the opportunity, or to suppress the poisonous gu and send people to the grassland to find the priest, it is up to His Majesty himself.

However, no matter what choice you make, the top priority is to save people first...

I hope Zhang Wen can bring us good news these days. "

Chapter 571 Extra Guards

Fang Xiu waited for three days.

For the past three days, Liu Qing would go to that alley every day at noon, and the answer she got each time was the same.

not found......

Until this day, Liu Qing returned to the yard from the outside, walked straight to the map they used for planning every day, and marked a location on it.

At the same time, a sentence was said: "It's here."

There was no unnecessary nonsense, but Fang Xiu chose to believe it.

Because, besides trusting Liu Qing and Zhang Wen, he has no other choice.

The sixth day back to the capital.

Another dark and stormy night.

Fang Xiu put on his long-lost pro-military official uniform, put a saber on his waist, and held a jade pendant in his arms. Amid Lin Wanqing, Zhu Er, and Fang Ru's voices of care, he stepped on the road with Zhao Yan, Liu Qing, and the old woman. On the way to the palace.

Originally, Fang Xiu planned to go alone.

After all, if there is one more person, there will be an extra risk of exposure, and when fleeing with the emperor, there will be an extra burden.

However, after discussion, it was decided to bring Liu Qing and Zhao Yan along.

The reason is not complicated, Liu Qing was originally a member of the Poison Gu sect, good at lightness kung fu and the way of poisonous Gu, if there is any accident on the way back, she can take the old emperor and leave first.

As for Zhao Yan...

On the one hand, it was because she strongly demanded to bring her along, and on the other hand, it was also because she was indeed very familiar with the layout of the palace.

In the previous life, there were all kinds of navigation software, and many people got lost, not to mention in this era, when there is only one map, they can find another courtyard in the complicated palace.

Zhao Yan had stayed in the palace for more than ten years, and the one Zhang Wen found was most likely the other courtyard where the emperor was imprisoned. She had also been there when she was a child, so she was more familiar with them than the two of them.

After weighing it, he decided to take her with him.

Of course, whether it was Liu Qing, Zhao Yan, or Fang Xiu, they all changed into the official uniforms of the pro-military mansion, and they were dressed in the same way as the pro-military soldiers of the pro-military mansion.

In addition, a disguise was carried out. Under the night, it was difficult to distinguish their faces.

Although Fang Xiu believed that these relatives would not report to King Ning after seeing him.

However, they are not afraid of [-], just in case, what they do is dance on the wire rope, no matter how cautious they are, they cannot be overstated.

Fang Xiu and the others took advantage of the cover of night and walked straight to the palace gate.

In front of the gate of the imperial palace, there were only six guards at the front, middle and back, but now it has doubled in size.

Of course, the result is the same.

As long as these people are still the soldiers of the original pro-military mansion, not the soldiers of King Ning's mansion, the possibility of accidents will not be so great.

"Where do you guys come from? What are you doing in the palace in the middle of the night?"

Unsurprisingly, just as Fang Xiu and the others reached the palace gate, they were stopped by a guard.

Fang Xiu raised his eyes, glanced at the soldier, and did not answer.

Instead, he took out a gold medal from his pocket and waved it in front of the guard.

The guard was slightly startled, and looked at the gold medal with his eyes wide open. After seeing the dragon pattern on the gold medal, he was startled, and hurriedly knelt down, saying: "I have seen you sir!"

Fang Xiu didn't pay attention to him, but said lightly: "Don't tell anyone, I've been here..."

He deliberately changed his voice, and the guard felt familiar, but for a while, he couldn't remember where he heard it.

Therefore, he just responded and said, "I understand!"

Most of the guards in the palace know about this gold medal, seeing the gold medal is like seeing the Holy One!

Although the guard didn't know who this person was, why he came to the palace, and what he wanted to do.

But he knew that the person holding this gold medal would never do anything that would endanger the court or His Majesty.

Moreover, it might be His Majesty's order. He is just a small guard and has no right to intervene in His Majesty's affairs.

Fang Xiu also knew this, so he was not worried that these guards would reveal his whereabouts, so he led Zhao Yan and Liu Qing into the palace in a big way.

"Where should we go next?"

Fang Xiu has only been to the palace during the day, and he only remembers the road to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he doesn't know anything else.

Therefore, after a few steps, I became confused.

Zhao Yan glanced around, without the slightest pause, and said, "I know where this is, follow me."

After speaking, lead the way ahead.

However, just after reaching the position of the harem, some accidents happened.

Originally, there were no guards in this place, and even if there were, there were only a few factory guards, that is, eunuchs with swords patrolling here.

However, now there are two more teams of guards here, patrolling non-stop, separating the inner court where the harem is located from the outer court where the emperor and ministers discuss matters.

In the outer part, the defense is relatively lax.

But here, it can be clearly felt that the defense has become stricter.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu frowned, looked at Zhao Yan, and asked, "Is there another way?"

Zhao Yan shook her head and said, "Only this one."

Seeing this, Fang Xiu took a deep breath and said, "Since this is the case, we can only give it a try."

With that said, he took out the gold medal and was about to step forward.

"Wait a minute!"

At this moment, Liu Qing held him back.

Fang Xiu looked back at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Qing looked at the guards who were still patrolling not far away, and said: "They are not from the military mansion, your gold medal is of no use to them."

Fang Xiu naturally knew this.

People in the pro-military mansion still knew this gold medal, but when other people saw this gold medal, they only thought it was a forgery.

However, now there seems to be no other way except to try.

He looked at Liu Qing and asked, "Then do you have any other options?"

"No."

Liu Qing shook her head and said very straightforwardly.

"..."

Hearing this, Fang Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "Then we have to try."

"No!"

This time it was not Liu Qing who spoke, but Zhao Yan: "I remember there is another way to get there, but..."

Having said that, there was a hesitant expression on his face.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu frowned and said, "It's just what..."

"It's just that it's more difficult to go."

Zhao Yan said.

Hearing this, Fang Xiu glanced at her, saw her hesitant to speak, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "You mean from the drain?"

Don't think that only modern times have sewers. As early as two or three thousand years ago, the ancients had similar facilities.

Since the development of Chu State on this land, it will naturally improve the drainage system, and the drainage channel is one of the most important measures, which is equivalent to the sewer in the previous life.

In order to prevent the palace from being flooded, the drainage channels in the palace city are even more criss-crossed, and generally speaking, it is impossible for anyone to guard them.

after all......

That place, just the taste is enough to make people daunting!

Chapter 572 You Are Still Far Away

"Correct."

Zhao Yan nodded slightly.

Fang Xiu looked at the guards who were still patrolling not far away, with a thoughtful look on his face, and after a while, he said, "I'll just listen to you."

The four of them avoided the sight of the guards and moved little by little to the position of the drain.

There is still a big difference between the drains of this era and the modern sewers, the most obvious is the volume of the accommodation.

Modern sewers are large enough for two or three people to walk side by side, but this drain can barely pass one person, and they must crawl forward.

Not only that, because no one has cleaned it all year round, it emits a foul smell, which is disgusting.

Even Fang Xiu, who was mentally prepared like this, still felt nauseous standing in front of the drain.

However, apart from this method, they now have no other way to enter the harem.

"I'll come first, you follow closely, don't fall behind..."

Fang Xiu looked at the drain in front of him, then at the three people behind him, gritted his teeth, and said.
