There are many restrictions underground in the imperial city.
But with the help of Dabao and Erbao, as well as the jade rat's powerful earth-moving technique, Luo Qingzhou quickly broke through various underground formations and restrictions and came to the underground of the inner city.
When moving underground in the inner city, one naturally has to be careful.
Although it was dangerous to explore the palace that night, I was able to remember the layout of the entire palace and the location of each palace.
The emperor's bedroom is located in Yongyan Palace, the most central location of the entire palace.
The palace has Xuanshi, Qilin, Jinhua, Chengming, Wutai, Gouyi Hall, etc., which occupies nearly one-third of the entire imperial city. It is home to not only the Imperial Guards, but also the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the Ten Great Guards.
According to Uncle Linghu, the leader of the Royal Guards, Yuan Zhong, has already reached the realm of a perfect Grand Martial Master; the ten great guards are also all masters in the late Grand Martial Master stage.
Of course, the most mysterious one is the old eunuch named Li Zhong, who may have reached the level of a master now.
There are many experts inside and the security is tight.
If Luo Qingzhou had not obtained the jade rat that could move freely underground, and had not obtained Dabao and Erbao that could ignore the formation, he would definitely not dare to enter casually.
Now that I have those two treasures and have arrived at the foot of the imperial city, I naturally have to give them a try.
Even if you fail, just escape from underground.
"puff!"
He passed through another restriction and then moved upwards carefully. When he was almost reaching the ground, he could see above through the soil.
He observed carefully for a while and found that this was the right side of Chongming Palace.
Then he drilled into the ground again and continued to move forward.
The foundations beneath the palace were very deep and solid, and around the foundations, there were not only magical instruments designed to restrain the spirit, but also formations to prevent earth-moving magic.
However, in front of Dabao and Erbao, these formations lost any effect.
Luo Qingzhou passed through easily.
Soon, they arrived at the basement of Yongyan Palace.
Judging from the situation underground, this place should still be outside the walls of Yongyan Palace, and the defenses and formations here are obviously more dense and powerful.
Almost every ten meters or so, there is a unique red brick, and each of the red bricks is inlaid with round beads that can restrain the soul.
At the same time, three layers of light curtains of different colors formed a thick wall, surrounding the entire Yongyan Palace.
Luo Qingzhou could clearly see some formation flags buried underground.
But these flags must not be moved. Once one of them is moved, it will be discovered by the guards above.
Luo Qingzhou did not dare to be careless. He slowly approached the three-color light curtain and observed it carefully for a while. Then he took Dabao and Erbao and carefully passed through.
He felt relieved when he saw that there was nothing unusual around and no one had called the police.
Not only can Dabao and Erbao pass through the formation easily, but they also won't cause any abnormalities in the formation. Naturally, the people who maintain the formation won't notice it either.
Luo Qingzhou, with the jade rat hanging from his waist and Dabao and Erbao in his arms, continued to move forward cautiously.
At this moment, a thick red beam of light suddenly shone from not far away. The beam of light began to circle like a searchlight, sweeping back and forth around the underground.
Luo Qingzhou's expression froze, and he immediately extinguished the Jade Rat's light shield, restrained his breath, and hid in the dark soil.
After the red beam of light shone in another direction, they immediately moved forward again.
He silently remembered his current position in his mind. When he was probably under the study, he stopped, looked around carefully, and then moved upwards cautiously.
Soon, he arrived at a position several dozen meters above the ground.
After careful observation, it turned out that this was indeed the study where the emperor summoned him every time!
He didn't know where the emperor really rested, but it must be not far from the study, so he needed to look for it carefully.
He slowed down, held his breath, and continued to move forward.
Not long after, he suddenly saw several golden lights flashing in front of him, and upon closer inspection, he found that there were nine golden dragons arranged in order in various directions, forming a formation, condensing a golden light shield, like a giant golden bowl, covering the entire foundation above.
Luo Qingzhou's heart moved. This should be the emperor's bedroom!
He looked around carefully and slowly approached the golden light shield, but he suddenly found that it was very difficult for him to move, as if his whole body was stuck in a swamp and it was difficult to move forward.
The jade rat hanging around his waist flashed rapidly, and it was obvious that it was also feeling the strain.
After finally getting close to the golden light shield, he immediately stretched out his finger and lightly touched the light shield. Ripples immediately appeared on the light shield and light flickered, but his finger did not penetrate it.
At this moment, he was even more certain that this was where the emperor slept!
This barrier is much more solid and powerful than the previous ones. If he wants to break in, he will definitely have to use some strength to get through it, but it is likely to cause some unusual situations and alarm the people above.
Moreover, there might be treasures that are effective against earth-moving magic placed in this place. It is difficult for him to move outside the light shield now. If he enters the light shield, it would be even more difficult to move.
If we are discovered by then, won’t we be trapped in a jar
So, he thought about it carefully and decided that he could only go to the ground first and then sneak into the room from the ground.
He did not dare to hesitate. After making the decision, he immediately mobilized the internal strength in his body, activated the earth-moving technique of the jade rat on his waist, and moved upwards with difficulty.
The whole body seemed to be stuck in mud and it was very difficult to move.
The speed at which the Jade Rat absorbed his internal energy was getting faster and faster, and every step forward consumed a large amount of energy.
But fortunately, he now has a lot of internal energy in his Danhai, so the consumption is not worth mentioning.
After a long time, they arrived at an underground location only seven or eight meters deep from the ground.
He stopped first, looked around carefully, listened to the movement above, and then continued to move upwards carefully.
Five meters!
Four meters!
Three meters!
Until the last meter, he stopped again and looked at the ground through the stone slabs above.
The ground was dark and silent.
A thick vermilion pillar stood beside it, and in front of the pillar was a railing.
This is a long corridor!
At this moment, a light and orderly sound of footsteps suddenly came from above!
Luo Qingzhou's heart trembled, and he immediately held his breath and concentrated, restraining his whole body's aura and the light of the jade rat, and hid motionlessly in the darkness underground.
A team of guards, holding the hilts of their swords at their waists and with solemn expressions, walked along the corridor above their heads and soon walked away.
Luo Qingzhou waited underground for a while, and when he saw that there was no movement outside, he quietly popped his head out.
He wore a black tiger mask on his face and his body was disguised. He looked around the corridor through the small holes in the mask.
After seeing nothing unusual, he immediately emerged from underground and hid behind a pillar, as silent as a shadow.
He looked towards the house in front of him, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
It should be here!
Just as he was about to raise his foot to approach, an old and erratic voice suddenly came from his ear: "Friend, you can run around underground, but you can't walk around on this ground."
Luo Qingzhou was startled and turned around suddenly and punched out!
"Moo—"
The moment he threw the punch, a shadow of a demon bull appeared behind him, and at the same time, a loud mooing sound was heard!
The Bull Demon’s magical power!
"boom!"
His extremely explosive punch actually hit a figure directly in the chest!
But that chest seemed to be made of diamond, not moving at all. At the same time, a terrifying counterattack force came from it, instantly making his arm numb!
"Bang!"
The figure threw a light punch, ignoring the protective light shield around him. It looked slow, but he had no time to dodge and it hit him directly in the chest.
A terrifying force suddenly exploded from the fist!
"boom!"
He was directly knocked away by this terrible force, the blood in his body surged, and before he hit the ground, he felt a sweetness in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow"!
The figure said "Huh", seeming a little surprised: "How brave! He is only at the late stage of the Great Martial Master. However, his defense is not bad."
Before he finished speaking, his figure had appeared in front of Luo Qingzhou like a ghost. Before Luo Qingzhou landed, he stretched out another claw and grabbed Luo Qingzhou's throat!
Luo Qingzhou could clearly see his claws reaching out, and he clearly thought he could dodge them, but suddenly he felt as if his entire body was locked down and he couldn't move. In fear, he could only roar angrily and mobilize all the energy in his body to condense into a protective light shield.
At the same time, the dragon scales that Long Er gave him also turned into a layer of golden dragon scale armor and attached to his neck.
"laugh!"
The claw that seemed to be moving slowly actually tore through the protective light shield on his body with ease, and then grabbed his neck. A light flashed in its hand, and it was about to crush his throat!
But at this moment, the golden dragon scales on Luo Qingzhou's neck suddenly lit up with a dazzling light.
The power gathered in the claws suddenly paused.
Luo Qingzhou took advantage of this opportunity, leaned his body back to the limit, kicked out suddenly, and at the same time, he summoned out the flying sword and stabbed it directly at the figure!
"Hmph, I know a lot."
The figure with snow-white hair and dressed in eunuch's clothes retracted his claws, stretched out two fingers, and actually clamped his flying sword directly. Then, a light flashed between the two fingers, and with a "click", he broke his flying sword easily!
At this time, Luo Qingzhou, without any hesitation, flashed and suddenly jumped out of the courtyard wall, while waving his hand and scattering a large amount of white powder and pollen.
The figure snorted coldly and was about to ignore these things and chase after them, but suddenly stopped and looked towards the house behind.
At this time, the guards around heard the noise and all gathered together.
A panicked and shrill voice of a eunuch came from inside the room: "There is an assassin! Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!"
The old eunuch's figure flashed and he chased after him.
At this moment, the two pieces of flying sword that fell on the ground suddenly flew up and disappeared.
The moment Luo Qingzhou crossed the courtyard wall and landed on the ground, he had already activated the earth-walking technique of the jade rat on his waist, drilled directly into the ground, retracted the flying sword, and fled quickly into the depths of the ground.
"boom!"
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the ground above.
The whole ground suddenly shook!
Luo Qingzhou's body swayed and he suddenly felt dizzy. He hurriedly continued to flee deep into the ground!
At this moment, a terrible force suddenly attacked from above!
Luo Qingzhou looked up and saw a huge fist-like light!
“Swish!”
He quickly moved to the side and narrowly avoided the fist!
"boom!"
The fist light suddenly exploded underground, directly blowing him away!
He was frightened and wanted to continue moving deeper into the ground, but suddenly he found that moving downwards was becoming slower and slower, and more and more difficult.
He didn't dare to stay here and had to move to the right.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
The ground was shaking continuously, and his moving body was shaken all over the place.
But he knew that if he didn't escape now, the longer he stayed, the more danger he would face!
With so many masters in such a huge palace, there must be some magical instruments or treasures that can travel underground.
So, he immediately used all his strength to urge the jade rat on his waist to continue moving forward.
Seeing that the speed of movement was too slow, he had to take the risk and move upwards for a distance, and then continue to move forward quickly.
As he ran away, he was thinking rapidly in his mind.
At this time, there must be an expert coming underground, and it might even be the old eunuch with terrifying strength.
At the same time, the palace gates were probably blocked off urgently.
His only option now was to avoid the old eunuch with terrifying strength and rush out as quickly as possible.
But it definitely won’t work underground.
The old eunuch saw him sinking into the underground and escaping with his own eyes, so he would definitely focus on blocking and searching the underground.
Therefore, he now needs to return to the ground and break out from the ground unexpectedly!
“Swish!”
While thinking, he continued to move quickly underground, getting out of the range of the vibration.
He continued to move forward quickly for a moment, and suddenly felt a dangerous breath coming from behind him!
Sure enough, he caught up with me!
He immediately fled upwards, and when he was still four or five meters from the ground, he continued to move forward quickly for several hundred meters, then he gathered his strength and rushed towards the ground with a "swish"!
At the same time, he clenched his fists, and a light flashed on his fists, quickly accumulating strength!
No matter who he meets first, he must kill him with one punch. There can be no delay at all!
“Swish!”
He flew out of the ground and his eyes immediately swept across a figure!
Without any hesitation, he punched forward, ready to smash the opponent into a pulp!
But…
The moment his fist was thrown, he suddenly saw the opponent's face clearly!
The figure in front of me was wearing a fiery red dress, tall and graceful, with snow-white jade feet and slender calves exposed under the dress, a beautiful and majestic face, water stains on her snow-white neck and exposed chest, and her hair was also wet, and there was a touch of astonishment in her eyes...
And the moment he flew out from underground, the other person just got up from the bathtub and quickly put on the red dress...
The eldest princess...
He was startled and hastily retracted his fiercely punched fist. The light on his fist was also retracted. The huge force immediately returned to his arm and hit the internal force and blood in his meridians heavily...
His body suddenly shook, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. His blood and energy suddenly churned, and he spat out blood again with a "puff" sound...
He felt dizzy, his blood and energy were running wild, his body went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.
He staggered back a few steps, his legs went limp, and he knelt on one knee on the ground, then quickly calmed down the blood and internal energy that were surging in his body.
“Swish!”
A sudden chill came from behind!
Then, a cold sword tip touched his throat as fast as a ghost. Just as it was about to pierce his neck, the cold and arrogant girl in a fiery red dress beside the bath suddenly said, "Stop."
