Fighting with fire shadow

Ximen Cheng didn't know the conversation between the guards, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.

After Ximen Cheng sneaked into the palace, he quickly found out where Liang Ziwen lived from the servants in the palace. And just in case, he deliberately used the "Transformation Technique" to change himself and became the housekeeper of the palace. appearance.

Liang Ziweng was originally a visitor in the Changbai Mountains. Later, he killed a senior stranger who was seriously injured. He got a martial arts secret book and more than ten prescriptions from his pocket. He practiced and studied according to the method. Since then, he has become a master of martial arts. , and is proficient in pharmacology.

One of the prescriptions is the secret of using medicine to nourish snakes, thereby improving their muscles and strengthening their bodies.He collected medicinal materials according to the prescription, and went through a lot of hardships. He caught a huge viper with strange poison in the deep mountains and dense forests, and fed it with various rare medicines.

The snake's body color was originally gray and black, but it gradually turned red after taking cinnabar, ginseng antler and other medicines. After feeding it for 20 years, its body has turned completely red in recent days.

Liang Ziweng was very fond of this precious snake. After receiving Wanyan Honglie's solicitation letter, he came to Yanjing from Liaodong and specially brought this cumbersome snake with him, just to make his merits complete in a few days. Then he drinks the snake's blood to enhance his own power.

But what Liang Ziweng didn't expect was that Ximen Cheng also had the idea of ​​​​his precious snake, and had already started to take action.

"Da da da……"

"Ok?"

Liang Ziweng, who was preparing medicine in the room, suddenly frowned and turned his head to look outside the hospital. He saw Butler Jian running in in a hurry, with a look of anxiety on his face.

Butler Jian panted and shouted: "Liang...Mr. Liang, something serious has happened! The princess has a sudden illness, and the prince asked me to ask you to help her quickly."

"what?!"

Hearing this, Liang Ziweng's expression suddenly changed, and he ordered the medicine boy in green beside him: "Xiao Qi, you stay here while I go over to see if the princess is okay."

"Yes, Master."

After Liang Ziwen finished speaking, he ignored Butler Jian, who had collapsed on the ground from exhaustion. He turned into an afterimage and rushed towards the other courtyard where the princess lived.

Not long after Liang Ziwen came to the palace, he had learned from the servants in the palace that Wanyan Honglie loved the princess very much, even cherishing the princess more than his own life.

As long as Liang Ziwen can cure the princess's emergency tonight, he will definitely be able to show his face in front of Wanyan Honglie, and glory and wealth will be within easy reach.

"Butler Jian, are you okay..."

Seeing "Butler Jian" slumped on the ground and panting, the medicine boy in green hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"boom!!!"

But before the green-robed medicine boy could finish his words, a fist as big as a sandbag hit his head, knocking him unconscious.

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain, success!"

After Ximen Cheng knocked out the medicine boy in green clothes, he raised a wicked smile on his lips, made a "V" gesture, and quickly walked into the pharmacy.

Liang Ziweng loved to tinker with elixirs the most. As soon as Ximen Cheng entered the room, he felt the smell of the elixirs was overwhelming. There were all kinds of medicinal materials on the table, on the couch, and on the floor. There were also bottles of various sizes in the room. Jars, jars, and bowls.

Ximen Cheng glanced around the room and was soon attracted by the big bamboo basket placed on the bed.

"Swish..."

As soon as Ximen Cheng walked to the big bamboo basket, he heard a strange noise coming from inside. Through the gap in the bamboo basket, he could also see a blood-red object squirming.

"Big baby, I finally found you."

Seeing this, Ximen Cheng smiled happily, took out the black cloth he had prepared in advance, and wrapped the entire bamboo basket.

Since living things cannot be stored in the system backpack, Ximen Cheng can only carry the bamboo basket on his body and wrap it with black cloth, so that it does not look too conspicuous.

"Wait a minute, these medicinal materials seem to be quite valuable."

Just as Ximen Cheng was about to leave, his eyes were attracted to the medicine cabinet in the room.

Although Ximen Cheng doesn't know much about medicinal materials, he also knows that medicinal materials such as ginseng and deer antlers are valuable and are great tonics.

Anyway, Ximen Cheng was planning to steal Liang Ziwen's precious snake. If he stole some more medicinal materials, he probably wouldn't mind too much.

After Ximen Cheng made a decision in his mind, he followed the names of the medicines on the medicine cabinet and swept away all three medicinal materials: ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and deer antlers, put them into the system backpack, and then climbed over the wall without anyone noticing. Left Zhao Wang's Mansion.

"Who?! How dare you break into the princess's courtyard!"

On the other side, Liang Ziwen hurried to the annex where the princess was. Before he could enter the annex, he was stopped by four armed guards.

Liang Ziwen waved his hands impatiently and said: "Get out of the way! The prince asked me to treat the princess. If you dare to delay the princess' treatment, the prince will chop off your heads."

When the four guards heard this, they looked at each other inexplicably, and then asked Liang Ziwen: "Who told you that the princess was sick? The princess just came back from the young prince and went back to her room to rest?"

Liang Ziwen frowned and said, "What? But Butler Jian just told me clearly that the princess has an emergency?"

The leading guard shook his head without thinking, "Impossible! Butler Jian personally escorted the princess back just now. How could he come to your place?"

"...No! My precious snake!"

Liang Ziweng slapped his head suddenly, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurried back as fast as he could.

"Dog thief!!!"

When Liang Ziwen hurried back to the pharmacy and found that not only the precious snake had been stolen, but also the two century-old wild ginseng he had kept to save his life were taken away in a pot, he became angry and fainted.

……

"Dong dong dong..."

"Brother Cheng, you are back, come in quickly."

After hearing the knock on the door, Huang Rong hurriedly stepped forward to open the door and let in Ximen Cheng who was carrying a black package.

Because Ximen Cheng was also planning to ask Huang Rong to help him make Liang Ziwen's precious snake into delicious snake soup, so naturally he did not hide the fact that he went to the palace to steal the snake tonight from Huang Rong.

When Huang Rong first learned that Ximen Cheng was planning to go to the palace to steal things, instead of saying anything to stop him, she actually prepared to become a pair of male and female thieves with him and wanted to go to the palace with him to steal things.

However, Ximen Cheng was proficient in the "Transformation Technique", so it would be more convenient for him to sneak into the palace alone, so he found a way to dispel Huang Rong's idea.

After Ximen Cheng lifted the black cloth on the bamboo basket, Huang Rong came to the bamboo basket curiously and said, "Brother Cheng, is this the precious snake you mentioned?"

"Rong'er, get out of the way first, be careful not to get hurt by this beast."

After Ximen Cheng finished speaking, he picked up the washbasin on the table, and then opened the lid of the bamboo basket with a stainless steel sword.
