Chapter 228 Ordered by Heaven, Longevity and Prosperity
I gasped in my heart. Sihetang made such a big battle and actually placed its target on the imperial seal.
Although Sihetang is the largest sect in the capital, no matter how strong it is, it is just a sect in the martial arts world. If you want to oppose the court or the palace, it is really a long-lasting birthday star who eats arsenic and hates his life.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Master Zhao Jiu asked, "Lord Jiang, why are there any problems?"
I said that we were all in our lives just to pass on the imperial seal, which was too unpaid. I had a friend in Jiuyan Bridge who engraved seals and obtained a certificate and knew everything. He could fake it and inspect the goods first and then pay it. Why would Master Jiu consider this?
Master Zhao Jiu was completely unlucky, Master Jiang, I decided what to do, and what to do is the issue you need to consider. You have considered a lot.
I cursed in my heart that it was me who went to the palace to steal things, not you. If you have a few long and two shorts, your feet will be covered in oil, and the one who is unlucky in the end is me.
Why, are there any difficulties?
I nodded. In the palace, there were 3,000 imperial guards, 800 eunuchs in the martial arts, and several masters, my subordinates were really inconsistent.
Master Zhao Jiu laughed, walked over, patted my shoulder and said: Someone once said that difficulties are like springs. If you are strong or not, you will be weak if you are strong, and if you are weak, you will be strong if you are weak! Besides, you are the master of the thief and have the inheritance of the master. You are a master of the thief and are superb in the thief. This difficult task is yours.
I was secretly in my heart. What does his words mean? Could it be that he saw through my identity as the Saint Sect? I believe that I am hiding this point, and even among the six doors, there are not many who know my identity.
I had no choice but to say that I was willing to go through fire and water for Master Jiu.
Master Zhao Jiu ordered someone to hand me a map of the palace, pointed out the location of the Supreme Hall and the distribution map of the guards, and said, tonight we will send someone to Xizhimen to set fire, and then go to Donghuamen to attack the side whistle. You must be careful.
Then someone handed me two firecrackers. If I succeed, I would light red firecrackers, and if I fail, I would light green firecrackers.
It was getting late, and Qi Xiaowei and I walked out of Sihetang.
Tonight on New Year's Eve, according to northern customs, no matter whether you are poor or poor, the family will gather together for the New Year's Eve dinner at the New Year's Eve, and then the men will watch in the family ancestral hall.
Qi Xiaowei said, I didn’t expect that Master Jiu would make such arrangements tonight.
I asked Qi Xiaowei, sister, attacking the palace was a crime of rebellion. For Sihetang, it was a moth to the fire. Have you ever thought that no matter whether it succeeds or fails, Sihetang cannot be separated from it.
Qi Xiaowei said, this matter was decided by Master Jiu himself. If you are smart, don’t hold on if you really can’t do it, just save your life.
As the lights first came, heavy snow fell from the sky. The snowflakes were like goose feathers, and within a moment, the capital was covered with a layer of white gauze.
The sound of firecrackers came from afar, just like couplets on the street, the sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old year, and the auspicious snow floated to welcome the New Year.
Ruixue is beneficial to the dealer, but it is very unfavorable to our industry.
There are a few words in the thief gate: stealing the wind and not stealing the moon, stealing the rain and not stealing the snow.
On windy nights and rainy nights, you can cover up whereabouts. Even if you make a sound, you can still use the sound of wind and rain to cover them. As for committing crimes on snowy nights, unless you step on snow without any traces, others will come to the door with your footprints.
According to the court etiquette system, tomorrow morning is the main dynasty meeting, and the emperor will accept New Year greetings from civil and military officials in various departments of the court in the palace. At the same time, foreign countries such as Northern Zhou, Dongyi, Xiliang, and Nanzhao also paid tribute to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty as usual.
These envoys from foreign countries paid tribute to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. For the Ming Dynasty, it demonstrated the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. Wouldn't it be a pleasure for all nations to come to pay tribute?
For these foreign countries, symbolic payment of annual monies and then getting a few cars of worthless stones and local specialties can be exchanged for rich money from the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Such people are stupid, have a lot of money, and are quick to come. Even Java, which I have never heard of, sent envoys to pay tribute. I am worried about how to get into the palace. The palace is very vigilant. If I really want to break in, I probably went to the morgue before I waited for the Palace of Supreme Harmony.
At this moment, two eunuchs came out of Xihuamen. One of them I knew was Xiao Dezi who searched me that day, and the other one was a little jealous.
I suddenly jumped out, Xiao Dezi, where are you going?
Xiao Dezi said it was Xiao Shunzi. Where have you been there these days? I went to you to play money and didn’t see you.
I said that I have been doing business for Mr. Nanali outside the palace these days. Where are you going?
Xiao Dezi said, Your Majesty’s dragon body was not in good condition, Eunuch Liu asked us to invite Doctor Xue. I said that this is the case, I will go with you.
Another eunuch said, "Grandpa De, what should I do?" I took out ten taels of silver and said that on New Year's Eve, I would find a place to drink flower wine by myself.
I changed his clothes with him, and the little eunuch walked away happily.
I asked Xiao Dezi, how did you prepare for the last time when I asked Dr. Xue for treatment?
Xiao Dezi smiled bitterly and said, "Doctor Xue has a strange personality and a very big temper. He said that he would never help me reborn as a descendant without 10,000 taels of silver. Xiao Shunzi, can you tell me if I can talk to my brother about love? Ten thousand taels of silver is not a small amount."
I coughed and said, do my best. By the way, what's wrong with His Majesty's dragon body?
Xiao Dezi said I didn’t know either. Eunuch Liu said that the false fire was too strong, and he had insomnia and night sweats. These days, Mr. Na has to be invited to accompany him every night.
When I came to Doctor Xue's Mansion, I really didn't expect that if I didn't see you for half a year, this old guy changed his gun and cheated all the way, and became an imperial doctor. I couldn't help but sigh that he had been in the east of Hedong and ten years of Hexi.
Xiao Dezi went to Emperor Xuan to verbally say that if it were an ordinary official, Xiao Dezi would come to announce the imperial edict in the palace, and the whole family would have knelt at the door to greet him.
A paradise like Doctor Xue, wearing a Taoist robe, sat quietly in the yard on a snowy night, and his body was covered with snowflakes.
Xiao Dezi shouted again, "The Emperor has an order to send a visit to the palace!"
I felt a little snow falling on Doctor Xue’s body. I released my true energy and felt that Doctor Xue’s breath was weak. I hurried forward, slapped the snowflakes with a palm, and slapped the person again. Doctor Xue woke up slowly.
I said that Dr. Xue is really a sage. If someone was found to be frozen to death in the yard on New Year's Eve, it would be a big laugh if it was heard!
Doctor Xue said angrily, I clearly have the realm of heaven and man that I have forgotten about. I am communicating with gods outside the world. What should you be a common man and a common man disturbing this doctor’s cultivation?
I said can cough be cured?
Doctor Xue scolded, it’s you again! How did you become such a virtue?
I smiled and said, since you can enter the palace as a miracle doctor, I will be a eunuch when I enter the palace. Everyone is trying to make a living, but people are not demolished. By the way, why are you frozen here?
Doctor Xue's face turned red and said, "I've been meditating for too long, my feet are numb and I can't move." He changed the subject and said he would clean up first.
Not long after, he changed into a Taoist robe and prepared to call out a few servants. After all, he was a miracle doctor. Of course, he had to show off when he went out. Xiao Dezi said, Doctor Xue, Eunuch Liu instructed that you can only take you alone when you enter the palace this time.
Doctor Xue brought a medicine box and put a bottle of red pills into his arms. I was curious, could your Heding Red Pills be upgraded again?
Doctor Xue Shen said, this is the red pill I have trained for the emperor, which can cure all diseases.
There was nothing to say along the way, Xiao Dezi and Doctor Xue successfully entered the palace. Xiao Dezi took Doctor Xue to reply to the imperial edict. I used the excuse to find Chen Wushuang and separated from him.
After avoiding several waves of patrol soldiers, I came to the southwest corner of the palace and followed the map to find the Grand Palace. At this moment, heavy snow pressed the plaque, forming ice edges. When the wind blew, the "Taihe Palace" became the "Dog Breed Hall", and I couldn't help but laugh in my heart.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu has made 24 jade seals, such as the treasure of the order, the treasure of the heaven, the treasure of the emperor, and the treasure of the respected relatives.
These twenty-four great treasures have their own uses. For example, the treasure that was ordered was used to announce the emperor to ascend the throne, inherit the emperor's treasure, and enthrone the crown prince, and the treasure that respects relatives was used to honor posthumous titles and temple names.
These twenty-four treasures are all in the hands of the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor. The sealing process of these twenty-four seals is also different. However, these jade seals only represent the emperor's authority. The jade seal of the imperial "received from heaven and live forever" that truly represents the emperor's power and legal status is hidden in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
There were more than a dozen patrol soldiers in the palace, and countless secret whistles were hidden in the eaves and between the palaces and pavilions. I released the spider silk true essence. There were two waves of officers and soldiers patrolling alternately around the Taihe Palace, and three secret whistles were patrolling the palace in the Taihe Palace.
Under this kind of strict guard, as long as one person is alarmed, the emergency response mechanism of the entire palace will be activated. If you leave a moment, you will fall into a siege. So unless you are confident, I am not in a hurry to take action.
The second update is approaching. According to the agreement, Sihetang should start attacking the secret whistle of Donghuamen. Only when enough chaos is caused in the palace can I have the chance to take advantage of the situation.
Suddenly someone shouted, "It's time to go away!"
There was a guardhouse outside Donghua Gate, and fireworks soared into the sky, bursting into the night sky, and a smell of tangerine oil came from afar.
Although it was a snowy night, all the palaces in the palace were made of wooden structures, and there was an east wind at this moment. If the fire spreads, the consequences would be unimaginable. When the gongs sounded, these patrol soldiers rushed to put out the fire. However, the secret whistles in the palaces were still standing at their posts.
I used my light skills and jumped to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The secret whistles were all focused on the Donghua Palace. I took advantage of the situation to solve these secret whistles, uncovered red tiles from the roof, cut out three feet square holes with an iron sword, and landed in the "Dog Breed Hall".
The first senior brother once taught me that in addition to human defense, valuable things like the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, physical defense, security and technical defense measures are very strict, reaching a level of slight damage. If you are not careful, it will cause alarms and even have hidden weapons to serve.
There is a transparent jade box in the middle of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, surrounded by a few night pearls, emitting a gentle light, and the imperial seal lies quietly inside the jade box.
I slowly moved closer and came directly to the imperial seal. I was surprised. Isn’t it a promise that the mechanism is full of poisonous gas, hidden arrows, nothing!
Then I thought, this is the imperial palace, and the most important thing in the world is that whoever dares to come to such a place to steal, if it is exposed, it will be a crime to destroy the nine clans.
It is understandable that if the emperor or a concubine has a whim on one day, come here to see it, touch the mechanism, and be shot into a hedgehog, who can take this responsibility?
I was secretly happy, but I didn't expect it to be surprisingly smooth. Just as I put the imperial seal into my arms, I felt a warning, and a figure rushed over from nowhere, slapped out with a palm, and sneaked into my back.
The true energy in Xingsu Sea soared, and instantly came to both hands. Before he could draw the sword, he turned around and printed it on it with a palm.
boom!
This palm was like a sea of rushing, and an internal force penetrated into my heart along the meridians. My heart hurt a lot, and my heartbeat accelerated sharply. Fortunately, the true energy in the Xingsu Sea arrived in time and took over the palm that almost exploded the heart.
The black shadow smiled and took the opportunity to copy the imperial seal in his hand. Several people fled out of the Palace of Taihe.
Xie Donglai!
This thought flashed through my mind. This traitor who provoked the culprit of the Wulin Alliance and the Netherworld Divine Sect and colluded with Japanese pirates to attack Hengjiang Port also appeared in the capital!
Xie Donglai threw a random shot and a fireball came over the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
boom!
With a loud bang, the Palace of Supreme Harmony fell into the sea of fire.
Chapter completed!
