I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 270 I want the wild wolf flag

The moon is dark, the wind is high, and the insects are humming at night.

The shadows of the trees in the palace were swaying, and the guards were holding torches and patrolling conscientiously, as if there was nothing unusual as usual.

But if you look closely, you will find that there are a large number of [Demon Bells] placed at the base of the trees near the imperial study room and the Tianlao. I am afraid that they were specially made by the Ministry of Industry after the jade seal was lost.

Once the evil spirit appears, it will cause the bell to ring loudly, making it very difficult for Suther to sneak in.

What's more, Emperor Wan Jing after Zi Shi was still burning ointment and keeping the sundial.

"Ha~~ I'm so tired! Brother, when do you think our all-night watch will end!"

"I don't know! I stood guard for three consecutive nights and only slept for an hour during the day. I was so tired."

The guards in charge of patrol looked at the palace prison and couldn't help but complained in a low voice.

Not all of the palace guards are martial arts masters. Most of the guards are only at the ninth level and cannot withstand staying up late.

What's even more frightening is that the guards don't know why they are working hard.

Emperor Wan Jing did not explain the reason, and the leading general was also confused. When this was conveyed to the guards, he could only stay on guard all night, concentrating every moment and listening carefully to the ringing of the bell.

This kind of work is the most difficult for the guards.

Going into battle to kill the enemy can still be full of enthusiasm, but now I don't know where the danger is, or even whether the opponent is a human or a ghost.

They are on high alert day and night. Not to mention the ringing of bells, even the low sound of night insects will make them nervous for a long time.

And I don’t know when this kind of vigilance will end. It’s really hard to endure.

Of course, Emperor Wan Jing is not having a good time now either.

Ever since the [Shenting Essence and Blood] was stolen ten days ago, he had felt bad. He didn't expect that the other party really came for Yuxi and Tianlao.

The Imperial City Division cannot be responsible for all matters related to the Tianlao. The current troubles can only be supported independently by the Imperial Guards.

Even if he asked the Forbidden Army to strengthen their vigilance, he would not sleep at night, ready to respond to enemy attacks at any time.

Putting down the book in his hand, he looked at the flickering jade fortune tablet on the table and murmured to himself:
"It's almost time. In less than five days, I will definitely become the emperor of the ages!"

Madness and cruelty flashed through Wan Jingdi's eyes, and his powerful palms lightly printed a few finger marks on the desk, and a strange aura was looming.

……

At the same time, Cao An was also doing the final negotiations in his mansion.

"The first condition is one million taels of military pay." Cao An drank tea, and the calm lion opened his mouth. The first sentence shocked the prince.

I was very excited when I suddenly received a summons from Cao An today, asking him to come late at night to discuss important matters.

"But your one million taels of military pay, isn't it too much?" The prince looked at Cao An, his face full of embarrassment.

In the years before Daxing, he fought in the south and north, and saw all the treasures in the world. He was indeed very wealthy.

But he was the prince after all, and Emperor Wan Jing always wanted to suppress him. Even if he secretly accumulated some wealth, this million taels of military pay was still not a small amount for him.

But Cao An had no intention of stopping. He dropped the tea bowl and continued: "In addition, I also want the [Desolate Wolf Flag]."

"[Desolate Wolf Flag]! Could it be that you..."

"Don't get me wrong, we just want to get back what should belong to us. The internal struggle within the imperial power has nothing to do with our Tsing Yi Department."

Cao An's answer was calm and indifferent, and did not release any signal of surrender, which made the prince a little disappointed.

[Desolate Wolf Flag], this is the military flag that was used by Ying Changfeng when he commanded the Desolate Wolf Army and followed them in their campaigns in the north and south.

Countless blood has been stained on the battlefield, and the military soul of the Wild Wolf Army has been condensed.

When the armor was removed, this flag was also taken back by Emperor Wan Jing. Now if you want to reorganize the Wild Wolf Army, the flag is indispensable.

"I heard that this flag is currently in the Ministry of War. Considering your ability, Prince, it won't be difficult, right?"

Cao An's request made the prince fall into deep thought. Whether it is the [Desolate Wolf Flag] or millions of military pay, they are all very precious strategic materials in this time of war.

If possible, the prince would of course want to keep it for himself to increase his strength.

But Cao An’s conditions are so tempting!

The prince pondered for a moment, but couldn't help but confirm: "Cao Shuixiu, are you really sure that you can convince the Imperial City Secretary to stand by and watch?"

"Of course, the Crown Prince must have heard of His Majesty's method of controlling them. I have united with several experts to work together to help them escape. As a beneficiary, you should show some expression."

"Then Imperial City Secretary, are you willing to serve under my sect?"

"It depends on your ability. They will surrender to the new emperor. As for the throne, can you sit on it, Prince?"

"I can do it!"

The prince stood up excitedly and paced back and forth for a moment.

Cao An and Pang Shi are close friends, and they both know this. It is understandable that they are now helping their friends get out of control.

As for the one million military salary, it should be a reward for inviting experts from all walks of life. For the sake of a great cause, I can't be stingy.

"It's settled, what do you want with those military salaries?"

"Use a ship to transport it out, but it needs to be done quickly, preferably within three days."

"Don't worry, it will be done."

The prince left quickly with hope.

In his opinion, without the Imperial City Department and the Tsing Yi Department, Emperor Wan Jing's arms have been broken, and the remaining Imperial Palace Forbidden Army is nothing to worry about.

Three days later, it will be time for him to force the palace!

only……

"Can this one really succeed?"

"I'm guessing, after all, he believed in a female liar. It's hard to say whether he will be forced into the palace or sent to death."

After the prince left, Su Se and Ying Changfeng also walked out of the inner room in the side hall.

Speaking of which, Suther is the trump card that the prince is proud of.

But you are just a lonely person, so you know how to sneak in and give the prince three points of confidence, but you are not going to push him into a pit of fire.

Su Se knew that Cao An was teasing, but she didn't care at all and even started to sneer at the side.

"I asked him to give me a million taels, and he actually gave me one! The prince is really rich. Do you think I should cheat him again? Otherwise, I will have no chance in the future."

"...Stop getting involved, focus on the trouble in front of you, and deal with Emperor Wan Jing first."

"Deal with Emperor Wan Jing? Is it necessary?"

Su Se jumped up and sat on the coffee table, swinging his feet leisurely, and said disdainfully: "The old emperor is very useless. If I hadn't been worried that the jade seal would change hands, I would have killed him on the spot. "

His grandfather was imprisoned in a sky prison, and Su Se had no good impressions of all the emperors of Daxing.

She did not kill Emperor Wan Jing at first, but she was worried that after the death of the old emperor, the jade seal would be inherited and transferred by the new emperor, and then she would have to rearrange her plans.

That's why after stealing the [Shen Ting Essence and Blood], Emperor Wan Jing was spared.

Her thoughts are similar to those of the prince. Without the Qingyi Department and the Imperial City Department, Emperor Wan Jing is just a tiger without teeth. Can't he be manipulated at will?
As long as they make a surprise attack on the prison, rescue their grandfather, and break the blood curse, everything will be solved.

"Don't think of things so simply." Cao An looked at his system tasks.

The original five-day mission deadline has now become four days.

What does the endless countdown mean?
