Chapter 339 Theft of Princess Treasure House

As for Princess Xincheng of the Dayao royal family, even though Chu Tang had just entered the capital city and was unfamiliar with many people and affairs, he had heard some stories about this royal princess.

Although most of it is hearsay, it also shows how well-known this princess is in the divine capital.

The royal family is the most apex existence in the divine capital and the center of everything. The stories spread from them have always been the focus of gossip among the people of the divine capital.

Rumors about Princess Xincheng are flying all over the sky, which shows her special status in the royal family.

It is said that this princess is the youngest daughter of today's emperor. She is the thirteenth among the princesses and the youngest.

However, she has been deeply favored by the emperor since she was a child. She wants stars for stars and moon for moon. She holds it in her hand and pats it down, and holds it in her mouth for fear of melting.

Only a few months after she was born, she was named Xincheng by the emperor early, and was given the title Xincheng Princess.

The emperor also gave her the largest and best royal residence outside the imperial city of the gods.

All the treatment is not only much higher than that of other princesses, but even the prince of the East Palace does not receive such preferential treatment.

Many people said that she was just born as a girl, otherwise with the emperor's favor and trust in her, the crown prince's position would definitely not be guaranteed!

If it was just the emperor's favor, it would naturally not make her the focus of the entire city's attention. She had her own legendary story.

First of all, she has been a beautiful woman since she was a child. She looks like a porcelain doll. When she grows up, she is even more beautiful and beautiful.

It is said that her beauty cannot be compared with that of ordinary women. Even in the harem, which is filled with beauties from all over the world, there is no one who can compete with her.

She has a noble status, respected status, and is extremely beautiful. It is difficult not to attract attention.

Before they have fully grown up, all the children of the most famous families in Shendu have openly and secretly asked the emperor to marry the princess of Xincheng to them.

The emperor was so dazzled that he finally arranged a marriage for Princess Xincheng when she was 14 years old.

My husband's family is the Duke who has been inherited from the founding of the country to this day, and has great influence in the military.
The chosen one was the son of the Duke of the country. He was not only talented, but also very talented. He was highly skilled in martial arts and proficient in military strategy. He had been practicing in the army since he was a child. He accompanied his father in the northwest to resist the Rong tribe and guard the border. He had made great contributions early on.

In short, whether it is the other person's family background, or his own talents and character, they are all one-of-a-kind and cannot be criticized.

The emperor decreed that they should be married when Princess Xincheng turns 16.

But a year later, something unexpected happened and something went wrong.

The candidate who was designated as the husband of the princess of Xincheng was suddenly encountered by a large army of Rong and Kou border troops while leading troops to inspect the border town. He was caught off guard, outnumbered and killed.

Not only that, after the Rong people knew his identity, they also displayed his head to the public, carrying his head on a white pole and displaying it everywhere in Dayao's border town, provoking Dayao's nerves.

The son of the Duke, the future prince-in-law, once hated the frontier, which really caused an uproar in the Yao court.

His favorite daughter became a widow before she even got married, and she had a bad name from then on. The emperor was naturally furious. He first dealt with several border guards, and later wanted to raise an army to avenge his future son-in-law. !
But his plan was dissuaded by many ministers, saying that the government's finances had been tight in recent years, and the local area suffered from natural disasters from time to time. The country was already tense, and foreign wars were launched. It was okay if everything went well, but if it was damaged, it would shake the country's foundation.

After all, the emperor was old and his temper was not as high as when he was young, so he had to endure it.

He endured it, but Princess Xincheng, who was still a few months shy of turning 16, couldn't bear it. She secretly took the seal of the Phoenix Army commander from another princess, and when no one was paying attention, she immediately led three thousand Phoenix Army out. In the divine capital, they marched non-stop, day and night, heading towards the northwest.

Then, it took more than ten days to find a Rong clan outside the border city that had ambushed her future husband that day. After some planning, he used 3 soldiers to defeat the opponent's [-] troops, killing the opponent and fleeing in embarrassment. , ten do not save one.

Princess Xincheng's deeds of winning with less than many were reported back to the capital of the gods. The officials in the imperial court who were originally excited because of her defiance of the law were dumbfounded and their mood was difficult to express.

The emperor, who was about to go crazy with anger, turned his anger into joy and praised their family for producing a heroine who had the demeanor of the founding heroine of the country.

When Princess Xincheng returned to the divine capital, the emperor not only did not convict her, but also appointed her as the commander-in-chief of the Phoenix Army.

And the princess who was conventionally designated as the nominal commander of the Phoenix Army almost fainted from anger. She just accidentally had her home stolen, but she didn't expect to lose it in the end.

Since then, Princess Xincheng has become famous in one battle and has become the most dazzling presence in the royal family of the capital city. She is much more outstanding than the prince and her brothers, sisters and brothers.

Such a divine person, even if her husband died before she married him, he would still continue to be the object of pursuit for all the elites from the famous families in the capital city. They wished they could fall under her pomegranate skirt and become their lackeys.

The number of her suitors increased instead of decreasing, and the emperor began to have troubles about happiness again.

It's a pity that no matter which candidate she chooses, Princess Xincheng doesn't like her, so she refuses to marry again and remains single.

Just like that, ten years passed.

Today's Princess Xincheng, at the age of 25, is still extremely beautiful, and her martial arts skills are getting better and better. It is said that she is about to become a strong person in the upper three realms.

Ten years ago, she had just entered the Fifth Realm and was able to lead 3 Phoenix troops to defeat [-] Rong people. Ten years later, there are many speculations about how powerful she is, but no one can say clearly.

However, in the past ten years, Princess Xincheng has always been the focus of the royal family. Everything involving her has been turned into anecdotes and legends from time to time and spread in the capital of God.

This is why Chu Tang can find out about her deeds as long as he pays attention.

For such a woman, Chu Tang couldn't express his shock except shouting "fuck".

What he didn't expect was that he would follow Feng Huang into the thirteenth princess's mansion today.

To his disappointment, he did not see Princess Xincheng in the mansion.

It wasn't that the other party didn't want to see him because of the differences between men and women, but it was an unfortunate coincidence that Princess Xincheng was not at home today and went to the palace to meet the emperor.

But that didn't stop Feng Huang from taking him into this princess's mansion, which was so huge that he would get lost if he wasn't careful.

Along the way, there are pavilions and pavilions, lakes and lakes, flowers, plants, fish and animals in abundance. The sights are myriad, resplendent and majestic, which makes people's eyes wide open.

Feng Huang was extremely familiar with this place. Even if the princess was not at home, she felt as if she had returned to her own home. She did not need anyone to guide her, so she led a group of female guards and Chu Tang through the hall to transfer, and went straight to the depths of the mansion.

The people in the princess's mansion seemed to be used to this, and no one came out to stop it.

Chu Tang watched from the back with side eyes, secretly speechless, and couldn't help but guess the relationship between Feng Huang and the Thirteenth Princess.

On the surface, one is the royal commander of the Phoenix Army, and the other is the deputy commander of the Phoenix Army. They have a superior-subordinate relationship in name.

However, the princess of Xincheng has a noble status and cannot go to the Phoenix Army every day, so the deputy commander is the actual commander of the Phoenix Army.

It stands to reason that if one is in name and the other is in fact involved in military power, it is inevitable that there will be discord and it will be difficult to get along harmoniously.

But Fenghuang's behavior after entering the Xincheng Princess Mansion was no different from that of the hostess. It was really hard to see that she had any disputes with the Thirteenth Princess.

Let alone the disputes, the relationship between the two of them is as good as one person, right?This is very strange.

"Could it be that these two people have an indescribable relationship..." Some even more indescribable scenes appeared in Chu Tang's mind.

Boom boom boom!
Just when Chu Tang lowered his head and was thinking, the people in front stopped.

When Chu Tang looked up, he saw Feng Huang waving to him in front.

The eight female guards who had been following her were scattered on both sides, all looking at Chu Tang.

Being looked at by nine women like this, Chu Tang's scalp went numb. He took a few steps forward and asked from a distance: "Miss Third, what are your orders?"

Fenghuang frowned and said, "Why are you standing so far away? Will this girl eat you? Come forward and see!"

Chu Tang took advantage of the situation and took two more steps, stopping when he was more than half a foot away from Feng Huang.

Feng Huang glanced at him and said, "Chu Tang, do you know the purpose of asking you to come here?"

Chu Tang said angrily: "I'm waiting for the third lady to elaborate!"

He felt dazed this early in the morning.

I only heard Feng Liu say that he wanted to assist Feng Huang in investigating the theft of the thirteenth princess's mansion, but he didn't say what the specific situation was.

Then when Feng Huang found him, she didn't elaborate. She just asked him if he was physically able to work. If he could, he would follow her out of the house.

No, as soon as I left the house, got on my horse, and went straight to the princess's mansion in Xincheng, I didn't have a chance to ask what I was going to do.

After entering this mansion, I dismounted and walked inside without even having time to say a word.

Fenghuang could tell that Chu Tang was angry, so she just glanced at him coldly, pointed to a building in front and said, "Did you see this place? Did you notice anything?"

She didn't need to remind him, Chu Tang had already been attracted by what was in front of him.

This building is really a bit weird.

The Princess Mansion is originally like a palace, and the building in front of you can almost be said to be a palace within a palace.

But unlike most square palaces, this hall looks rounder, and overall it looks like an enclosed house.

It is two stories high, covering an area of ​​more than ten feet, with white walls and red tiles, tall doors and wide households.

The strangest thing is that there is no window visible from the outside. The walls are all white, and they get smaller and smaller as they go up, forming a cone shape.

Facing them in the middle, there were only two half-open copper doors.

Outside the bronze gate, there were two rows of armored soldiers standing guard. They turned their backs in and faced outwards, alert to the movements around them.

It has high walls, no windows, and is heavily guarded... No matter how you look at it, this is not a place for people to live.

Chu Tang thought of many legends about the palace lords: "This thing looks like a cold palace used to imprison people. Could it be that someone is imprisoned in the Princess Mansion? The so-called theft means that the person ran away?"

Seeing Chu Tang looking at it for a long time, Feng Huang said: "This is the Thirteenth Princess's treasury. It contains all kinds of rare treasures and rare things. It can be called the first treasury outside the Imperial Palace of the Divine Capital." .”

Chu Tang was embarrassed. It turned out that he really lost the treasure, not the person.

Looking at the surrounding scene again, Chu Tang sighed: "Third Miss, this treasure house is so precious, I'm afraid it's not just the protective power on the surface, right?"

"Of course!" Feng Huang nodded and admitted, "The emperor's love for the Thirteenth Princess is unparalleled, and the treasures he has given are countless. An ordinary thing, if taken out, is a priceless treasure. The things given by the emperor are extraordinary. Extraordinary, how could the Thirteenth Princess take it lightly! The security here is even stricter than her palace."

Chu Tang frowned. The security was getting tighter, but it was even stolen. I'm afraid the matter was serious.

Fenghuang waved to Chu Tang and walked forward. As he walked, he said, "Follow me. I will take you inside to have a look."

Chu Tang hesitated and said, "It's not good! Under the melon fields and plum blossoms, I'm afraid it won't be convenient for Chu to enter."

Feng Huang looked back at him and sneered: "Are you Chu Tang so timid? What are you thinking! Even if you have the heart and courage of a leopard, you have no chance to take something out from it!"

Chu Tang retorted: "How could it be stolen?"

Fenghuang was speechless and said displeasedly: "Follow! See more, think more, talk less, do less!" As she said that, she took the lead in entering the array of guards guarding the treasure house.

The guards just said hello and had no objections to Feng Huang's easy entry into the princess's treasure house.

Even Chu Tang, who was following her, was not stopped.

However, the eight female guards of Fenghuang stayed outside, and only the two of them entered the treasury.

Pushing open the half-closed copper door, Chu Tang felt his vision dimmed after entering, and he squinted for a while before he could see clearly.

In front of you is a patio-like place, with wall tiles gathered inward above it. It looks narrow and cramped, with only a width of more than two feet letting in light, making the interior of the treasury relatively dark.

Inside the courtyard, there were crowds of people, and a group of armored guards formed a formation to patrol.

There are guards outside and guards inside. The total number of people is forty or fifty. It can be said that it is not lax.

The treasure house is two stories high, with more than a dozen rooms on each floor. Just like the outside, there are only doors, no windows, and the doors are not only closed, but also locked.

Fenghuang pointed at various places inside and said, "You see, not only are there guards in the courtyard inside, but there are also secret guards posted in the darkness of the corridors on each floor. Trying to take away the treasures secretly is nothing more than a dream."

Chu Tang pointed to the top of the open air and said: "The ground and floors are so tight, so it seems that the opening from above is not easy, right?"

Fenghuang said: "Why are there openings? Because some treasures need to be stored in ventilation, and the top is for ventilation and lighting. It looks ordinary, but the tops of both the first and second floors are all woven with silk from the Western Regions. With.

Although the silk from the Western Regions is as soft and thin as paper, it is as tough as beef tendon and as hard as steel nails. It is difficult for ordinary magic weapons to break it.The silk net woven above is also connected to the mechanism. If one of them is touched randomly, the mechanism will be activated, sounding an alarm and killing people.Therefore, if you want to come down from the top, you will die without rebirth! "

Chu Tang listened and watched, and then said: "Third Miss, as you said, you can't get in through the gate at the bottom, and you can't get in through the opening above. Chu Tang dares to say that even with Chu's Qinggong, he can't get in either."

Feng Huang glanced at him and said, "Why are you so anxious? I didn't say that you were the one who made Liangshang a gentleman!"

Chu Tang smiled sarcastically and said: "The third lady asked Chu to come here, saying that she was interested in Chu's Qinggong. Can Chu not be worried?"

Feng Huang snorted coldly: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the stolen warehouse!"
