Chapter 553 Entering the palace overnight
Inside the underground palace, Wang Siruo sat cross-legged on the ground. To her left was a pile of human bones. Dozens of skulls were rolling all over the ground in a mess. It was very creepy!
On her right, three men dressed in servants' clothes in Jingbei Marquis' mansion were tied up with handkerchiefs stuffed in their mouths. They looked at Wang Siruo with horror. When they saw Jingbei Marquis come in, they cast pleading eyes at him, but Jingbei Marquis didn't even look at them.
"Didn't I tell you not to bother me before tomorrow's action?"
Wang Siruo's face became much more charming than before. When she saw Jingbei Hou coming in, she looked at him with displeasure, but her voice was actually a man's voice.
It turned out that on the second day of the Chinese New Year, the man in white secretly triggered the talisman on Wang Siruo after making sure that he could not escape from Fan Xing. Wang Siruo, who was at the entrance of Linshan Village the moment before, appeared in the underground palace in the Jingbei Marquis Mansion the next second.
After the man in white died, his soul awakened, suppressed Wang Siruo's soul, and gained control of this body. He disliked the low level of cultivation in Wang Siruo's body, so he asked Jingbei Hou to send him some living people for him to practice. In just two days, dozens of lives turned into bones in his hands.
When he was practicing at the critical moment, he was interrupted by Jingbei Hou who came in hurriedly.
"Master, please forgive me! Those people who followed Lin Xi suddenly entered the capital in the middle of the night, and they disappeared after entering the capital. The guard I sent to investigate their whereabouts is also missing. Master, you said that those people are all immortals. I am afraid that they will ruin our great event, so I came to report this to you."
Marquis Jingbei reported respectfully and even knelt on the ground, not daring to even look at Wang Siruo.
"Is that stinky girl named Lin Xi among those who came to Beijing?"
Wang Siruo narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked Jingbei Hou.
"No, she just followed her children to Beijing."
Marquis Jingbei felt that the underground palace suddenly became cold, shivered, and answered quickly.
Hearing this, Wang Siruo retracted the cold air around him, relaxed his body again, looked at Jingbei Hou and ordered: "Send in ten more people. As long as I absorb all of them, my power will be greatly improved. Those little guys are not to be feared. They will all become materials for my cultivation tomorrow. It seems that the old man was sent away by the heaven before he could heal Lin Xi. After I absorb these little guys tomorrow, I will go to deal with Lin Xi. Then all the creatures in this small world will belong to me, hahahaha!"
After hearing what Wang Siruo said, Jingbei Hou's originally uneasy heart immediately calmed down. After complimenting her a few words, he quickly left the underground palace. Soon, another ten servants were sent to Wang Siruo.
At this time, at the gate of the palace, the soldiers guarding the gate saw Lin Ping and his companions coming, strode up to them, clasped their fists and asked politely, "I wonder what business it is for you gentlemen and ladies to be here so late at night?"
He knew Lin Ping and the others, and he also knew that the Regent valued these kids very much, so his attitude was so gentle. If it were someone else, he would have driven him away long ago.
"Greetings, sir. We have an urgent matter to report to the Regent. Please inform us!"
Lin Ping bowed respectfully to the soldier and spoke seriously.
The soldiers guarding the city thought about how the eldest brother of these boys had entered the palace with the token given by the Regent King not long ago, and had not come out yet. Now they said so again, thinking that something big must have happened, so they did not dare to neglect it and said to Lin Ping and the others, "Please wait here for a moment. I will go and report to the Regent King."
After saying that, he ordered people to open the palace gate. Just as he was about to go in, he saw Lin Kang being escorted out by Leng Yi himself.
"Second brother, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to rest at home?"
Lin Kang came out and saw Lin Ping and others standing at the palace gate. He asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Brother, we have discovered something very important. It concerns the safety of the Regent and the stability of the court. We need to report it to the Regent immediately."
Leng Yi, who was following behind Lin Kang, heard Lin Ping's words and knew that what they were going to say was very important and must be extremely urgent, so he immediately said, "Please follow me into the palace immediately."
Lin Ping and his companions didn't waste any words. They followed Leng Yi and quickly flew towards the palace where Jun Moyue was. Seeing this, Lin Kang turned around and followed them.
"Guard the palace gate well, wake up the brothers who are sleeping on duty, and guard the gate together!"
The leading soldier immediately gave orders to the soldiers beside him, and all the soldiers put their hands on the hilts of the swords at their waists and became extremely alert.
"Your Majesty, Lin Ping and others have important matters to discuss with you."
Just as Jun Moyue was about to take a break, Leng Yi's voice came from outside the door.
After hearing Leng Yi's words, Jun Moyue put on the coat he had just taken off with the help of the eunuch, and then quickly walked out of the bedroom.
"Follow me to the Imperial Study!"
After leaving the room, he saw that Lin Ping and others all had serious faces. Lin Kang also came back. He gave an order and strode towards the imperial study.
"Tell me, what happened that requires you to come to the palace late at night."
Jun Moyue sat behind the desk, cleared out the idlers, and asked his confidants to guard the door. Then he looked at Lin Ping and the others and asked.
Lin Ping quickly reported to Jun Moyue in detail what they had discovered in Jingbei Marquis Mansion tonight.
"He actually dared to act!"
After hearing Lin Ping's words, Jun Moxie's eyes were deep and he said coldly.
After that, he called Leng Yi to his side and gave him some instructions. Then he looked at Lin Kang and the other eight and said, "My people have discovered that Jingbei Marquis and some people in the military camp are a little restless recently. We have made some preparations, but those evil cultivators are not something that ordinary people can deal with. We may need your help then."
"We will keep an eye on the evil cultivators in the Jingbei Marquis' Mansion after we return. Please rest assured, Lord Regent. However, some of us have gone to the old Prime Minister's Mansion, General Cao Zhu's Mansion, and General Cao's Mansion. We cannot all obey the Regent's orders. Please forgive us, Lord Regent!"
Lin An bowed towards Jun Moxie and said.
Jun Moyue nodded to show his understanding. After everyone discussed for a while, Jun Moyue had Lin Kang and eight others escorted out of the palace.
At this moment, a box suddenly appeared in Lin An's hand. He opened it and saw that it was a stack of letters. After knowing that someone from Jingbei Marquis' Mansion had just gone to deliver a letter to the Minister of Rites, he remembered that there was a box among the things stolen from the secret compartment in the Minister of Rites' warehouse, so he opened it to check.
"Your Majesty, this box was obtained from a hidden compartment in the residence of the Minister of Rites. It contains letters. Your Majesty, please take a look."
After Lin An returned and handed the box to Jun Moyue, he quickly followed Lin Kang and the others and left the palace.
Jun Moyue opened all the letters, glanced through them quickly, and slammed the desk with a grim face, and the desk instantly turned into debris.
He called all the people who were practicing with him to the imperial study and gave them detailed instructions. Then they flew away and disappeared into the night.
