That day, Xu Que stayed in the palace.
Together with the three thousand Xuecheng troops, they all received different privileges and treatment, lived in the palace, and were served by palace maids and eunuchs.
After all, they recaptured the ten major cities of Shuiyuan Kingdom, and they were a heroic army that bravely saved the country. Everyone enjoyed high honors, and they could even receive rewards when the empress returned.
Everyone was glad to follow Xu Que out to fight, it was a total win!
And in the dead of night, Xu Que was sitting in a courtyard, smoking a cigarette!
Ergouzi was very greedy when he saw it. He thought it was something good. After asking for one from Xu Que, he took a deep breath and almost choked to death. He fell directly to the ground and stared at Xu Que in shock. .
"Boy, you are so perverted! You can spit and breathe this kind of thing freely!"
"Er Gouzi, do you deserve a beating? Get out of here and don't disturb my thinking!" Xu Que said impatiently and continued to smoke, thoughtfully, in no mood to make trouble with Er Gouzi!
Ergouzi looked at it and couldn't help but ask: "What are you thinking about? Are you preparing to attack the other four countries?"
"Why are you attacking the other four countries? I was thinking about what the general said during the day. Don't you think something is wrong? Is Queen Bing Ning someone who escapes so easily?"
Xu Que frowned, always doubting what the general said.
Of course, the general’s words also came from Zixuan!
Queen Bing Ning was injured and fled back to the palace. She also met Zixuan. She told Zixuan that she was injured by the empress, and then left. This always sounded like something was wrong!
With Queen Bing Ning's ambition, there is no reason to give up so easily!
After hearing Xu Que's doubts, Er Gouzi thought for a moment and nodded: "There is indeed something wrong! It took him fifty years of careful planning to bring the Ice Armor Army back. There is no reason to escape so easily!"
"Look, even if you are so stupid, you can imagine that other people are not suspicious! I suspect that we have been fooled!" Xu Que said solemnly.
Ergouzi nodded after hearing this, but when he thought about it, he realized something was wrong and immediately said angrily: "Fart, why am I so stupid? Those ordinary people don't think it's normal. Do you think everyone is like me?" Are you smart?"
"You'd better shut up! I want to hit you as soon as you speak!" Xu Que rolled his eyes and stood up.
Ergouzi immediately rolled off the ground, stepped aside, and said warily: "Boy, what do you want to do?"
"What are you afraid of? I'm not really hitting you. I was wondering if Queen Bing Ning didn't leave at all, maybe she's still hiding in the palace!" Xu Que frowned.
"The possibility is very high!" Ergouzi nodded repeatedly.
"It seems I have to go to the empress's palace!" Xu Que said seriously.
Ergouzi was suddenly stunned: "If you are looking for someone, just look for someone. Why are you going to the Empress's palace?"
After saying that, it suddenly widened its eyes and exclaimed: "Damn it, boy, it turns out you are trying to find an excuse to sneak into the Water Emperor's palace and do some mischief!"
"Fart, look at your dirty thoughts. Am I, Xu Que, that kind of person? Can you think about it with wisdom? The safest place in the palace is the Water Emperor's chamber! Apart from the Water Emperor, there is no other place in the palace. No one dares to go in, so if Queen Bing Ning is in the palace, she must be hiding in the Water Emperor's palace!"
Xu Queyi's words are strict and well-founded.
Ergouzi opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute it, and he thought it made sense.
Then, it suddenly sat cross-legged on the ground, with its two dog legs crossed together, and said seriously: "Then you go, I want to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon here!"
"Bah, you lazy guy!" Xu Que complained disdainfully.
In fact, he had no intention of taking Er Gouzi with him at all. With a whoosh, he flashed out of the small courtyard.
The layout of Shuiyuan Kingdom's palace is not too complicated, and there are many pools. In some places, majestic water aura is gushing out, as if it comes from the ground!
This also resulted in clouds and mist drifting throughout the palace all year round, like fairy mist. If a mortal came in, he would probably get lost.
But for Xu Que, this bit of spiritual energy cloud and mist was nothing. After his eyes glanced at a trace of true energy, the cloud and mist were as if they were nothing, not to mention not affected by the darkness of the night, and his vision was clear!
With his status, no one dared to stop him when walking in the palace!
Therefore, along the way, many eunuchs and maids, including guards, even when they saw Xu Que, they all looked at him with reverence and called him "General Zhuge", while some people called him "General Xu".
Xu Que didn't want to attract too much attention, and he didn't want anyone to know that he was going to the empress's palace. He was afraid of disturbing the situation, so he pretended to be taking a walk and wandered around the palace.
"Big girl, grab a few handfuls... grab a few handfuls of melon seeds!"
He was humming a little tune, and several guards who were patrolling by happened to see him and cast strange looks at him.
Xu Que glared and scolded: "What are you looking at? I've never seen anyone humming a song! Hurry up and go on patrol! Oh, Cheek is making trouble. I'm drunk alone, and seven or eight girls sleep with me..."
Under the strange looks of several guards, Xu Que walked away humming a song.
Not long after, he finally found the empress's bedroom, which was in the main courtyard of the harem.
The entire palace was dark, with no lights on, but there were several guards patrolling outside the door.
Xu Que thought for a moment and then sneaked into the dark corner. At the same time, the majestic soul power suddenly surged out, covering the entire palace in an instant.
He tried to find out whether there was any human scent in the palace.
But as soon as the soul power touched the palace, there was a sudden and terrifying rebound force that shook his soul back.
"Huh?"
Xu Que was immediately surprised.
"Ding, the formation has been detected, which can block the detection of divine soul power. Do you want to spend 500 points of pretentiousness to crack it?" The system prompt sounded in his mind immediately.
"Tch, it can only block the soul power. At worst, it won't be used anymore. I am forcing the king to go in and have a look in person!" Xu Que directly rejected the system.
It would cost 500 points to break a rubbish formation. Of course he would not waste such money.
After all, Xu Que had spent more than 10,000 points of pretense points in the past two days attacking the ancient city, but only earned more than 8,000 points. Overall, he had lost more than 4,000 points of pretense points, but in order to tease Empress, he reluctantly accepted this loss.
However, Xu Que believed that he must resist the system's profiteer behavior and adhere to the traditional virtues of diligence and thrift!
"Whoosh!"
Taking advantage of the moment when several patrol teams were staggered, Xu Que immediately used his physical skills, and his whole body turned into willow leaves, disappeared from the place, and penetrated into the palace.
The dark environment could not block his sight.
As soon as Xu Que entered it, he immediately held his breath, gathered all the breath in his body, and secluded himself.
Then, he looked at everything in the palace, and at the same time, there was a faint fragrance coming from his nose and mouth, which was exactly the smell of the empress.
"Looks like we found the right one!" Xu Que raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
But just as he was about to take a step forward, a stream of light suddenly rushed out from the corner. Along with the terrifying chill, the stream of light turned into a half-bowl-shaped light curtain, which instantly enveloped Xu Que and quickly turned into ice, forming a Ice prison!
Immediately afterwards, a graceful figure walked out and said with a playful smile: "The little guy is quite smart, he actually found this place, but you are too courageous, how dare you break into Jiang Hongyan's bedroom?"
