Chapter 309 Entering the Palace
The others just recovered from what Xu Ling said about the inside story.

"Unexpectedly, there are quite a lot of twists and turns in a small city."

"In that case, the emperor actually has no power at all."

Xu Ling said: "I think this is the crux of the matter. Sergey's excuse for inviting us into the city is to ask their Majesty for instructions. But now it seems that the idea of ​​'Your Majesty' is not critical at all."

Zhu Taran reached out and tapped in the air: "That's right, that's what I thought of just now, if the person Xu Ling saw and what this piece of paper says is true, then Sergey let us enter the city There must be another purpose."

"Well... I think he is quite sincere."

Jiang Sanjin said with a smile, "Isn't his attitude these few days pretty good."

Zhu Taran snorted and said, "You just think that the wine that others entertained you to drink is not bad."

Most of the group didn't drink alcohol when they were away from home. Only he, a drunken boxing practitioner, would not refuse anyone who came and had a good drink in two days.

Jiang Sanjin touched the back of his head: "I don't seem to be objective anymore."

Xu Ling continued: "The top priority now is to determine whether the person I met at No. 19 on Re-burning Street represents the emperor of the Immortal City, and whether what he said is true."

"Yes, if it is true, then Sergey probably has no good intentions. He lied."

"Yes, under the lies, there must be evil intentions."

Zhu Taran suddenly asked: "You first tell me about the process from when you went out to when you came back today, and let's see if there are any other clues."

Xu Ling then told him how to prepare, how to go out, how to use illusion to ask for news in the bookstore, and what happened next.

However, I didn't expect that other people's attention was not focused on the details of the process, but shifted to the sword technique that can make people fall into hallucinations.

"There is such a skill, Xu Ling, can you, uh, I just ask, can you write it down and see?"

The one who spoke was another general, Qin Yang. He was in charge of the actual combat test in Xu Ling's selection for the promotion of the lieutenant school. Like Jiang Sanjin, he was very interested in various methods of martial arts.

But Zhu Talan smiled and said: "His thing is just for fun, if you really want to practice, it's better to use the ones in the kung fu library."

Qin Yang wondered: "How could it be Tu Yile? Such things are very useful no matter in battle or in daily life. I think it can be promoted."

The other people were still itchy at first, but when they heard him ask this question, they suddenly became interested and wondered if they could practice it too.

But Zhu Taran smiled even more happily: "I mean, his kung fu, let alone popularize it, even I don't have the conditions to practice it. You just say who can have a lot of energy at the level of Jiuxuan Jin at the same time , and the mental power to create large-scale illusions? Let’s just take a look, but don’t try to learn.”

Qin Yang was stunned for a moment: "I'm happy to see Lie Xin, forget about it."

Those who wanted to learn saw that the two of them acquiesced to extremely difficult training conditions, and immediately stopped their thoughts, but thought that it was no wonder that Xu Ling was able to join the mission as a major, and Zhu Taran had an extraordinary vision.

But they didn't expect that the original intention of choosing Xu Ling was just to disgust people.

"Did you find anyone following you on the road?" Jiang Sanjin brought the topic back to business.

Xu Ling shook his head: "It is almost certain that there is no one. The level of people in Immortal City is not high. If someone is watching me, I should be able to find out."

"Too."

"Wouldn't it be too much of a joke to use such a small note to send a letter?"

"This is normal. If you use something too formal, or stamp it with a seal, it may be noticed by the parliament."

Everyone in the room was lost in thought, but they didn't come up with any suggestions worth referring to, because the whole process didn't have too many twists and turns, and it made sense logically. The only problem was that it seemed too simple.

"But the emperor has been controlled for so many years, it's normal for Sergey and the others to relax their vigilance."

Finally, Zhu Taran said: "That's it, Xu Ling, you continue to keep in touch with the other party, and see if you can get any other valuable news. Since that old fox Sergey doesn't show his tail, we will stay the same , and see what he is going to do."

Ever since, Xu Ling was excluded from the mission and was responsible for liaising with the other side.

But when they met for the second time, it was not Gregory who arrived at No. 19 on Reburning Street, but someone else he sent.

The other party claimed that Gregory was the emperor's bodyguard, and it was inconvenient to disappear frequently. The last time he came out, he pretended to have something at home and took a holiday. I am afraid that there will not be many opportunities in the future.

Xu Ling nodded in agreement with this statement. He deliberately didn't mention this last time, just to see if the follow-up would develop like this. If Gregory came in person every time, he would be suspicious.

In the past few days, he met with the other party twice, and obtained the map and defense map of the palace. To be precise, this thing should be a surveillance map, which is used to protect the palace where the emperor lives in name, but in fact it is a surveillance map. .

Judging from various details, Xu Ling gradually tended to Gregory's statement to be true, because there were indeed no flaws, and the statement was basically consistent with the facts.

Reporting the matter to Zhu Taran, he patted Xu Ling on the shoulder and said, "That's right, isn't it time for meeting tomorrow? We have to discuss business with each other, and you can't be absent."

"Oh, not tomorrow, we should contact each other in two days."

"Well, maybe we're about to meet the Emperor."

Zhu Taran had a little expectant smile on his face, "We'll see how he reacts to us then."

……

Early the next morning, the convoy sent by Immortal City stopped outside the hotel where the mission stayed.

Xu Ling left all the grenades and flash bombs in the room. Anyway, these things would definitely not be brought into the heavily guarded palace.

But he will never leave the flying knife. This is the strongest attack method and must be brought. If there is a security check, he should be able to find a way to sneak in with his flexible characteristics.

Go downstairs and get on the car, all the way to the gate of the palace in the city center.

This place is definitely not comparable to the ancient palace complex of the Xia Kingdom that Xu Ling imagined. It is just a single building with auxiliary buildings at the four corners, all of which are domes. It is tall and majestic. More style.

Unsurprisingly, although in this demonized world, it is normal for warriors to carry weapons with them, the forbidden area of ​​the palace is not an ordinary place. If you want to enter, you have to go through a security door, and you have to hand over your sword, gun, sword and halberd. kind.

But this kind of thing is not difficult for Xu Ling to carry a flying knife in. Wentian has been strengthened to level five, light, flexible and concealed. In addition, he has the characteristics of hiding, so he easily bypassed the sight of the security personnel. The shadow of the ceiling slid silently along the ceiling.

Sergey once again appeared at the door to greet them graciously, and after everyone passed the security check, he led them all the way to the depths of the palace.

Xu Ling followed behind, watching Zhu Talan and Sergey exchanging arms, as if they were best friends who had known each other for many years, couldn't help feeling very funny, thinking that these people are all born actors.

He looked away and surveyed his surroundings.

It can only be said that the decoration inside is as luxurious as ever. If they were not worried about the inconvenience of walking, they might have plated a layer of gold on the floor.

Arriving at a living room on the ground floor, about [-] people from the mission were seated one by one, but there was still plenty of room for the large long table.

Sergey stood in front and said, "Please wait a moment, everyone."

Zhu Taran smiled and nodded at him.

After a while, several people walked into the banquet hall, each with a dignified and graceful temperament.

Sergey stood still in the front row, pointing at the people beside him.

"Please allow me to introduce you. These are members of the Council of Immortal City. I hope that in the next time, we can have a good chat about the present and the future."

Xu Ling frowned.

Just these people?Village tyrant, oh no, where is the emperor?
