"What are the conditions for the Pope?"
If it is possible to avoid conflict with the Papal State, Su Mu is naturally happy to end this way.
It's just that Su Mu had already seen some strange emotions in Maggie's eyes at this time, so he still asked some uneasy questions.
However, Maggie's next sentence really exceeded Su Mu's expectations.
Although not so difficult, it is still full of thick weirdness:
"It is not to promise certain conditions of the Papal State, but only to promise me certain conditions. From the perspective of the Papal State, I just failed my mission under your sudden intervention. And only as you From a different perspective, I am helping you rescue Qin Wulian."
When Maggie said this, there was a strange connotation at the corner of her mouth, and then she slowly said:
"My condition is that you must answer my three questions truthfully in the future. No matter what these three questions are, and no matter what the purpose of these three questions is. As long as you promise me this, I will be here. Things become your help, not your resistance."
…
In the face of Maggie's strange request, Su Mu finally chose to agree.
After all, it seems that Bastion behind Maggie has far more information than Su Mu, who has not yet possessed the real power of the Federation.
So Su Mu didn't mind, and traded some secrets that weren't secrets in exchange for convenience.
And when the two of Su and Mu quickly reached a temporary alliance, the team of internal officials who came to welcome Qin Wulian into the palace were also slowly walking on the Tiannan Road leading to the imperial city.
Today's Su Mu and Maggie, relying on their own methods of concealment, quietly fell in the vicinity of the returning palace team, and silently followed the team to the imperial city.
Although when the imperial emperor invited Qin Wulian into the palace, both Su and Mu seemed extremely calm.
But in fact, if the imperial emperor really discovered something and simply put Qin Wulian into the palace to live for a few days, even Su Mu and Maggie would be helpless.
Therefore, at this moment, Su and Mu, in fact, only risked the close proximity of the team returning to the palace, and the priority was to confirm the position of Qin Wulian after entering the palace.
Only in this way can Qin Wulian be rescued even if he cannot leave the palace.
The mansion of the imperial giant Qin's family is undoubtedly not that far away from the imperial city.
After a short while, while the leading internal officer took out the pass token, the guards and soldiers of the imperial city had gently opened the side door of the imperial city, and the ritual car Qin Wulian was riding in quietly The crossing entered the imperial city.
The guards guarding the imperial city were at least at the level above the Chinese character level.
Fortunately, even if the empire has a large number of mid-level knights, the vast majority of these mid-level knights are, after all, mass products forcibly upgraded with foreign objects.
In front of people like Su Mu and Maggie, they didn't actually have enough keen insight.
So when the ceremonial car did not pass the palace wall of the imperial city, the guards of the royal guards obviously did not notice... At the bottom of the ceremonial car that slowly crossed the imperial city, the two were slightly twisted and merged by light and shadow. The figure quietly concealed by the Illusory Demon had already successfully followed the team into the imperial city.
Like two dark ghosts, they quietly mixed into the most majestic building complex in the world.
…
The imperial city of the Longtuo Empire was named the Chi Forbidden City by the founding emperor. This name is undoubtedly derived from the so-called Forbidden City in Su Mu's memory.
It's just that compared with the original world, the gorgeous palace with green trees and red walls, and the imperial city called the Red Forbidden City in front of him, there are not many real red colors.
The empire is still dark, so even most of the buildings in the imperial city are based on blue-black bricks and tiles.
It's just the simple lamps on every corner of the corridor that remind people of the age of this building, as well as the nobility and luxury of the royal family.
After entering the palace, the limousine team gently stopped at a certain area outside the palace.
Just like the cumbersome rules in the imperial palace of the previous life, even in this imperial city in another world, there are still rules that ceremonial cars cannot enter the inner palace.
At this time, Qin Wulian had washed his hands and face again under the service of the internal officials, and then passed through the long corridor in the court, and began to move towards the core part of the Scarlet Forbidden City.
At this time, even though Su Mu and Maggie still quietly escaped into the shadows again, they were still not really discovered by anyone.
But the corridor that was hundreds of meters long was too empty after all, even Su and Mu did not dare to venture in directly.
Today, Su Mu and Maggie can only hide far away in the cracks in the eaves corner palace wall, silently watching Qin Wulian continue to deepen.
Then from a particularly roundabout angle, once again quietly escaped towards the inner city of the Chi Forbidden City.
Among the martial arts decimals that Su Mu had seen, it seemed to the martial arts masters that entering the Forbidden City was like entering the land of no one.
Secular power is not worth mentioning in the eyes of masters.
However, under this situation, when Su Mu and Maggie really dared to sneak into the imperial city, they discovered that they were quite astonishing... When the secular power reaches the top, it is no longer a single individual who can contend.
Although in the Chi Forbidden City, it is not as exaggerated as five steps, one post and ten steps.
But with the rule that ceremonial vehicles cannot enter the inner palace, coupled with the strangely empty corridor outside the inner palace, it is true that Su Mu, even with the blessing of the Illusory Demon, dare not continue to enter the palace.
Even in the dark corner where Su and Mu were sneaking, Su Mu had already keenly noticed:
In the cramp of the cramped imperial city, there is still a secret whistle waiting for the arrival of the prey.
…
"It seems that the secret guards in the imperial city are hidden in the eaves and wall roots where it is easiest to hide. Even if we don't pass through the promenade, we can't go further into the inner city."
Su Mu's eyes were slightly awe-inspiring, and he realized that the defense of the Scarlet Forbidden City was so tight.
Even if the guards were indeed hard to find Su Mu under the shadow of the Illusory Demon, as for the ways they could escape, it seemed that they were all blocked one by one.
"With such a tight defense, it seems that we can only wait for the result on the outside of the inner city."
Although Su Mu said so in his mouth, he obviously didn't think this was the best method in his heart.
Waiting for the periphery of the inner palace is undoubtedly giving up the decision-making power to the imperial monarch again. This is undoubtedly the most unfavorable situation for Su Mu's promise to Qin Wudi.
However, Su Mu's insincere words at this time made Maggie pierce easily:
"If you really give up, why bother to say those things to me. Your previous expressions are just to force me... to come up with something called'sincerity' as soon as possible!"
Su Mu was not embarrassed by Maggie's sudden exposure, but looked at Maggie sincerely, waiting for her to give a way to continue deep into the inner city.
After all, before Su Mu returned, he had never considered going deep into the imperial city.
So the preparations in this area are naturally not as adequate as Maggie.
And Maggie saw that Su Mu had already acquiesced to this fact, and her attitude seemed to be quite correct. After all, she still did not continue to hide, she already softly said:
"Among the five imperial sons, only the youngest Su Kun has not yet obtained the mansion bestowed by the emperor. Therefore, he has always lived in the imperial city before he was placed in the papal state. And since he was thrown into the papal state, Pakistan Sion naturally has a way to dig out the message in his mouth."
While Maggie was talking, she was already quietly searching for something in the grass and trees in the shadows.
"The drainage system of the Chi Forbidden City is of course the most rigorous defense. The exits that flow to the outside of the imperial city not only have numerous blockades that are extremely difficult to break through, but they are even specially handed over to keep them under constant supervision."
"But what they didn't take into account was that certain drainage outlets located in the imperial city, they always thought that no one could use it anymore, so they didn't set too much privacy. Therefore, we are in fact right now. Use the drains in these imperial cities to continue to go deeper into the Chi Forbidden City."
After Maggie finished speaking, she had found a drainage channel blocked by iron fences somewhere.
Although the drainage channel is not too wide, both Maggie who is good at Jiu-Jitsu or Su Mu who is proficient in ancient martial arts can easily pass through it.
The space under the drain is so wide that it can almost be galloped inside.
So under this situation, Maggie certainly did not hesitate too much, she had already turned over the dark dagger again, and gently cut the metal fence.
Then the two figures in tandem, one after another, sank into the drainage channel of the imperial city. ()
