Money in the heavens

"Dinner has just passed. No one will want to eat snacks for a while. By the time anyone notices, we will have already confirmed the situation and left the palace."

Shang Yi said with a smile.

Even if someone discovers it, they will first suspect that the eunuch or the rough messenger is eating it secretly. By the time they find out, the time will have passed long ago.

Meng Qi had long regarded Shang Yi's elusiveness as normal, but the Demon Queen looked shocked and said:

"As expected of the Buddhist Shenzu Tong!"

Then she looked around, but didn't see Lin Xiao.

Shang Yi waved his hand and said:

"Don't look any further. The man who is coordinating outside the palace will wait until there is a commotion here. He and I will go back directly to contact the fourth prince. After all, it is a battle for the throne. Soldiers are valuable and quick!"

On the other side, Ruan Yushu was overjoyed and had already started to take action. She slid down the pillar quietly, took advantage of the few rough men to watch the fire, stretched out her delicate hands, and grabbed many pieces of cakes that did not need to be kept warm - they were all in a pile and only grabbed one piece. No trace is visible.

Then she squatted down again, moved behind the steamer, used the steamer to block her sight, slowly raised it through a gap, and grabbed a few pieces of pastry out.

She was careful and coherent throughout the entire process, as if she had rehearsed it many times in her mind.

Back on the beam, Ruan Yushu ate in small bites but very quickly. Suddenly, she paused, pursed her lips hesitantly, and handed a piece to Meng Qi, her eyes always looking forward, as if she would regret it if she looked over it: "Here your."

Meng Qi chuckled to himself, took it and stuffed it into his mouth without any courtesy. It tasted really good.

The Queen closed her eyes and rested her mind, waiting for the night to deepen.

After more than half an hour, Yu Tongen gave a signal outside, and the four of them left the imperial dining room and found him in the corner of the garden.

After handing Shang Yi, Ruan Yushu and Meng Qiren three sets of guard uniforms and flying claw ropes and other items, he turned around and left. No one spoke during the whole process.

The three of them each found a hiding place and changed into their guard uniforms.

"In half an hour, I will take action. Can you reach the Tai Chi Hall?" the Queen asked as usual.

There are many experts guarding the Tai Chi Hall. If there is no movement at the Qin Zheng Hall, the Queen will ask herself that it will be difficult to sneak in, so the timing must be right.

Meng Qi nodded and said, "No problem."

This time, the main forces were Meng Qi and Ruan Yushu. Shang Yi was more interested in holding them back and would not take action, so it was Meng Qi who the Queen asked.

There is a patrol route map and defense layout. The biggest problem is the guards of Taiji Palace. They should be able to reach the vicinity of the emperor's palace in half an hour.

The Demon Queen stopped talking and left slowly and slowly, her back swaying as if she was merging into the darkness little by little, "really" merging into the darkness, and soon disappeared.

Meng Qi and the other three looked at each other without exchanging any words, and set off according to the direction and route they had agreed upon before. They used the right timing along the way, and were always able to cross the corridor between the two groups of guards and when the guards on the rooftop were looking away. Go through the doorway.

Not long after, the three of them were only one hall away from the Tai Chi Hall, but the guards here became more and more dense. Several teams of guards patrolled back and forth, and there was almost no time and place for them to have blank sight. The pavilion where they were hiding was far away from the palace, making it impossible to Forcefully use the magic of transformation to get past.

Meng Qi was well prepared. He took a deep breath, released his energy, wrapped himself, Ruan Yushu and Shang Yi, climbed to the top of the pavilion like a gecko, flew out like a strange bird, and passed over the heads of the first team of guards.

Although it was said that Shang Yi would be easier and safer to take action, Meng Qi had no complaints. This clearly meant that the good deeds were given to him, and it was just a contribution, so there was no need to say anything more.

Just like if you work overtime in the company, if your boss pays you enough overtime pay, you will be willing to live and work in the company!

Due to the effect of the Apparition Technique, the sound was weak and did not attract the attention of the guards.

In mid-air, Meng Qi was about to fall, and suddenly threw his flying claws, catching the eaves of a nearby palace.

Bang, there was a slight sound when the flying claws caught the cornice.

At this moment, a guard's foot slipped and made a louder noise.

Meng Qi pulled hard, and his whole body flew into the air again, falling into the shadow of the roof. Ruan Yushu and Luo Shengyi also arrived almost at the same time.

Thanks to the Transformation Technique... Meng Qi said thankfully that this technique is now very ineffective in actual combat, but it is a god-level assistant for him.

Taking advantage of the guards' opportunity to question the guard, Meng Qi and the other three jumped over the roof, jumped directly onto the wall, and hid on the wall near Tai Chi Hall.

There is a guard every dozen steps outside Tai Chi Hall, and there are also several people on the roof, all of whom are masters with bulging temples.

The weather was good, the cold moon was dim, and the night was dark. Meng Qi and the other three were lying on the wall, quietly waiting for the change in the direction of Qinzheng Hall.

Time passed little by little, and suddenly, there was a loud noise from the Qinzheng Palace, as if the roof collapsed and the beams collapsed. Then, a dull sound erupted, like two palm winds driven by strong internal forces colliding together.

Meng Qi could vaguely see paper flying on the windows of Qinzheng Hall and candlelight flickering.

Such a big movement was naturally sensed by the guards guarding the Taiji Hall. They raised their swords and held their swords, looking slightly nervous and alert. Many people rushed to the Qinzheng Hall to help, and the scene suddenly became a bit chaotic.

"Stop!" Just when Meng Qi and the others were about to take this opportunity to sneak into Tai Chi Hall, the leader of the guards shouted loudly, stopping the spontaneous impulse of the guards.

He said loudly: "Our duty is to protect the emperor. Even if the landslide and the ground are torn apart, we cannot leave our post without permission! Brothers, please don't fall for the enemy's plan to attack the east and attack the west. If the right minister needs help, he will send the message over!"

Being able to become a leader and command everyone, the emperor and the right prime minister valued him for his calmness and ability to calm down.

The guards returned to their positions, looking outside with vigilance, their eyes focused, not missing any slight movement.

Meng Qi's heart sank. Under such circumstances, even if he had the illusion technique, he couldn't hide from the world and sneak into the Taiji Hall. After all, these guards were all top-notch masters, and the worst was equivalent to opening their eyes. If they were fully focused, unless they could directly interfere with their senses, the "ignore" effect would not be very good if they just wrapped their whole body with weak spirit.

Sure enough, the enemy could not be treated as a fool... Meng Qi took a breath and whispered to Luo Shengyi, the second plan.

When they discussed before, they were not careless. They deduced the possible situations and made plans respectively. The current situation was expected.

The three of them performed their duties. According to the agreement, Shang Yi and Ruan Yushu would cause chaos, while Meng Qi quietly sneaked in to check on the emperor.

Meng Qi "flew" to the door of the rear hall, pressed his left hand, shattered the secret lock, and slipped in.

Suddenly, two figures appeared in front of him. They stood near the door of the hall, not moved by the chaos outside, holding their swords vigilantly, but they did not expect someone to push the door directly in.

Really layers of defense! Meng Qi was calm, and with a tap of his toes, his body suddenly sped up, like a ghost.

When he got here, he was very close to the room where the old emperor was unconscious, and his plan was to force his way in! Beat the slow with the fast!

Anyway, he didn't want to assassinate him, but just to confirm his condition. At that time, whether it was to eject stones or knock the mountain to scare the tiger, there would be a way to do it, and he would have time to escape before the encirclement.

Flashing in front of the two guards, Meng Qi stabbed with his long sword, crooked and slanting, completely contrary to the principles of swordsmanship.

The tip of the sword changed constantly, but it was known for its speed. It was the last to strike but the first to arrive, stabbing their throats before the two guards could raise their swords to intercept.

They subconsciously dodged, and with a swing of the long sword, the cry of "there is an assassin" was about to come out of their throats.

Meng Qi's long sword suddenly changed from stabbing to swinging, and the sword flashed. The two guards covered their throats and fell to the ground, and blood spurted out from between their fingers.

In less than two moves, they died on the spot, and they couldn't even shout "there is an assassin"!

Dugu Jiujian is really a powerful weapon for bullying weak... Meng Qi couldn't help but sigh. As long as he didn't encounter a master above the quasi-human peak in this world, Dugu Jiujian could quickly resolve the battle without Ananda's sword technique.

After the two guards fell, Meng Qi performed "Catching the Wind and Shadows", sweeping through the hall like a gust of wind, and flashed into the corridor. The place in front of him where four masters were guarding the gate was the "Zi Ji Pavilion" where the old emperor was unconscious and sleeping.

Meng Qi's mind moved, and he suddenly used all his strength to activate the Golden Bell Cover. His shoulders sank and he hit the wall hard.

After practicing the Qi Accumulation Chapter of the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Art" for a period of time, his strength increased greatly, and he had already entered the sixth level of the Golden Bell Cover. Between the flashes of dark gold, there was a dull bang, bricks and stones flew across, and a large human-shaped hole appeared on the wall.

Humph, you guard the door, I walk on the wall!

Save time!

But this style is a bit wrong... It's like a human tank... Meng Qi flashed into the "Purple Extreme Pavilion", raised his toes, and four stones flew up and hit the eyebrows of the four masters, and Meng Qi appeared beside the emperor in a flash.

Sure enough, although the emperor was lying safely on the bed and seemed to have no problems, he was no longer breathing, and it was obvious that he had been dead for a long time!

At the same time, a voice came to Meng Qi's ears:

"Meng Qi, it's done, I found the little eunuch! Fortunately, we acted quickly enough, he was almost killed!"

It was Shang Yi's voice.

It turns out that Shang Yi went into the imperial city not only to support Meng Qi, but also to use his own magical power to find the eunuch who followed orders and added ingredients to the emperor's medicine!

After taking action, Shang Yi locked this person with his divine eye, and after Meng Qi went in, he appeared beside the little eunuch with Ruan Yushu with his divine foot, rescued him, and suppressed the person who silenced him!

Shang Yi took action at this time because if the prince was not stupid, he would not let the little eunuch know too much.

But this person who silenced people must know more. He must be someone trusted by the prince to come to the palace to silence people. With this person as a witness, the prince can't say anything even if he has a hundred mouths.

Moreover, the left prime minister is also a smart man. Lin Xiao has gone to see the left prime minister. There are the captured little eunuchs, the silenced men, and the confession of the left prime minister. Even if the prince has the support of the right prime minister and the monk Ruyi, he has no tricks!

On the other side, Meng Qi felt a strange breath of magic around the emperor, and he reached out to pick up a cloth bag beside the emperor. He immediately understood that the magic crystal was wrapped in it.

"Is this something similar to the evil emperor's relic?"

Meng Qi muttered strangely.

He flashed back to avoid the attacks of the four masters, and at the same time, his right hand touched the magic crystal. He always felt that this crystal had a great attraction to him, and even forgot that this was the palace, and Shang Yi had just asked him to retreat.

Soon, Meng Qi touched it coldly, and it felt very strange, as if it was not a lifeless stone, but a dead creature with flesh and blood.

When the palm of his hand touched the magic crystal, the heat and cold were mixed, and Meng Qi smiled and withdrew his hand.

At this moment, a strange change occurred. Meng Qi felt the surging pure essence pouring out of the Demon Lord crystal and pouring into his body, as if it was pouring into his body regardless of his will!

The essence poured into the meridians, making Meng Qi's body seem to explode. There was no way to get rid of the crystal. He could only use all his strength to operate the Golden Bell Cover to absorb the pure essence in his body, without a trace of impurities, as if it was naturally grown!

The dark gold was restrained, and Meng Qi used his whole body and mind to digest and absorb the essence. He could only barely stand up, as if he was carrying a heavy burden!

At this moment, Meng Qi understood why the old emperor fainted when he absorbed it too hastily for the first time. He didn't want to! Just like he didn't want to now!

A thousand grass mud horses roared through Meng Qi's heart, but he had to restrain his mind and work hard to digest and absorb the essence.

With the crazy absorption of essence, the sixth level of the Golden Bell Cover was rapidly improved, but Meng Qi was not happy at all, because the four masters had attacked him again.

At the critical moment, Meng Qi instinctively threw a punch. This was a fist technique that he would practice day and night after practicing this fist technique. On the surface, it looked like the most ordinary Luohan Fist.

But at this moment, Meng Qi threw a punch, and golden light burst out all over his body. The essence that was rushing in his body was not as scary as before under the fist technique practice. Instead, it was directly subdued by the fist technique and pressed into his body for him to slowly absorb and improve his strength.

"The great freedom of the Vajra to subdue demons can not only subdue external demons, but also the demons of oneself and the demons in the heart. Only by subduing the demons in the heart can you get great freedom!"

In the palace, Meng Qi fell into enlightenment, his body was golden, and he was indestructible. No matter how the swords and knives were cut on his body, they could not penetrate the golden light at all.

At the same time, the Golden Bell Cover successfully broke through the sixth level and was even improving. Moreover, after the Golden Bell Cover was used, Meng Qi's figure did not become as burly as before, but remained the same size as before.

"There is an assassin!"

The four masters saw that they could not do anything to Meng Qi, so they shouted for help.

"There's an assassin!"

Two more guards appeared, shouted in unison, drew their swords and attacked Meng Qi from different directions. As personal guards, they had to perform hard to save their lives after the emperor was stabbed.

But they still couldn't hurt Meng Qi at all.

The people in this reincarnation world thought Meng Qi was the "Shocking God Sword" and was good at swordsmanship. The Six Gates in the real world thought Meng Qi was the Thunder Blade Monk, with terrible swordsmanship, but Meng Qi was best at the unique skill "Great Freedom Vajra Demon Subjugation Magic Power" taught to him by Shang Yi in the first reincarnation world.

"Hey, Meng Qi is lucky. Not only did he get the Demon Lord's treasure, but he also entered the state of enlightenment. Let's take him away quickly!"

Shang Yi said and appeared beside Meng Qi with Ruan Yushu. Perhaps because he didn't feel the danger, Meng Qi didn't attack Shang Yi.

Shang Yi, on the other hand, put his right arm around Ruan Yushu's waist, held Meng Qi with his left hand, floated away, and shouted loudly:

"The prince killed the emperor! The left prime minister drugged! The emperor died!"

Ruan Yushu did not shout along, maintaining his aloof image. It was enough for someone to shout.

At the same time, the demon queen's men hiding in the palace also shouted in various parts of the imperial city:

"The prince killed the emperor! The left prime minister drugged! The emperor died!"

Soon, the entire imperial city was boiling. Did the emperor die, or was it the prince who did it?

"The prince killed the emperor! The left prime minister drugged! The emperor died!" At some point, the same voice rang out in various parts of the imperial city, and this sentence echoed everywhere.

These were the eunuchs and guards bribed by the third, fourth, and seventh princes who were taking advantage of the situation to create opportunities for their masters.

As for the people caught by Shang Yi and Ruan Yushu, they had been controlled by Shang Yi and hidden outside the imperial city.

Meng Qi just woke up from his epiphany and said to Shang Yi:

"Brother Huaikong, your inference is correct. The Demon Lord Crystal is indeed in the hands of the old emperor!"

He spread his left hand and showed the Demon Lord Crystal. It was empty inside. There was no gelatinous invisible thing, nor was there a dark yellow feeling. It was transparent and colorless, cold and refreshing:

"As soon as I get it, I will be filled with essence..."

Shang Yi smiled and said:

"That's your chance. The Golden Bell Cover is a step higher, and you have a deeper understanding of the Great Freedom Vajra Demon Subduing Magical Power!"

And Meng Qi felt that this crystal could hold essence, which was also a rare thing. It was very similar to the legendary evil emperor's relic, so he took out the black cloth that looked like fur but not fur, and prepared to wrap the crystal. (End of this chapter)
