This mixed martial arts is not serious

Chapter 154 I’m sorry... (two chapters in one)

What's in the palace's treasury?
treasure.

This is a matter of course.

Gold and silver jewelry, silk and silk cloth, precious calligraphy and painting, magic weapons and sharp blades...

Almost all the precious things that ordinary people can imagine can be found in the treasure house of Taiping Palace.

The only thing Luo Yang wanted was not found.

"Isn't it here? Am I looking in the wrong place, or..."

Luo Yang frowned slightly in the box. He was entrusted by Lu Xiaofeng to come to Taiping Palace to investigate the whereabouts of something.

If that thing is really in Taiping Palace, then logically speaking, it is most likely to be hidden in the palace's treasure house.

After all, Taiping Palace is big.

This thing itself is heavy. Unless it is robbed by a large number of people, even if one or two snitches have the ability to sneak into the treasure house, they will not be able to take away much with two hands.

He stopped again.

The large number of guards at the entrance of the treasure house must have increased recently.

At this moment.

Hear this.

Then I clicked somewhere.

in this case······
Just as Luo Yang was thinking of this, he saw the man in black outside also moving.

in other words.

This time, he did not focus on the inside of the treasure house, but explored along the walls and ground around the treasure house. Obviously, the man in black and Luo Yang had the same thought.

In front.

next moment.

Although the man in black was not good at mechanism skills, he was obviously an "insider" in the world of stealing. After groping furtively along the four walls for a while, he seemed to have discovered something.

Most likely it is to protect some extremely important items in the treasure house.

Rumble~
Along with a slight roar, a secret door suddenly appeared on the southeast corner wall of the treasure house.

What's more, army soldiers are not private soldiers. Even if King Taiping holds military power, it is impossible for these warriors in the army to always guard the palace's treasure house.

It was also because through the voice of the other person who spoke just now, Luo Yang finally remembered where the familiarity of the man in black came from.

Then······
A hand slowly placed on the other person's shoulder.

on the other hand.

Suddenly, Luo Yang thought of something, his expression changed, and he said secretly: "If those things are not in the treasure house, or not in the palace, why does King Taiping use so many soldiers and guards to guard this place?"

"wrong."

But it's not an easy thing to find a place that's secluded enough and can perfectly hide those things.

If you don't have enough research on mechanism skills and Qimen Dunjia, there is almost no possibility of opening this thing.

Maybe there is another unknown secret vault.

Just started to see the secret door.

Although the treasure house of a royal palace is precious, generally speaking, there is no need to use such tight defense.

Seeing the eight secret locks on the iron door, the man in black with a sinister eyebrow changed his eyes for the first time.

Because gold and silver are not paper money.

In this treasure house.

Originally, Luo Yang had no intention of showing up. He just wanted to wait for the man in black to open the secret room and find an opportunity to sneak over and take a look. He had no intention of exposing himself in front of him.

The man in black squatted in front of the iron door, sticking his butt out, and studying the method of opening the "Bagua Dragon Gate Lock" with a frown on his face.

The man in black's eyes clearly lit up.

Luo Yang in the box understood that it was time for him to show up.

But the Bagua Longmen Lock is known as one of the "Top Ten Strange Locks" in the world.

Because inside this secret door, there is actually another dark iron door, and above the iron door is a chain completely made of meteorite iron. Through eight pairs of secret locks, it is locked in an extremely cumbersome way. way to firmly seal the entire iron gate.

Luo Yang quietly opened the box and silently walked behind the man in black.

But not for a while.

Behind.

Luo Yang clearly felt that the other party's body stiffened first, and then the hairs all over his body stood up, and even his hair seemed to stand on end.

"Bagua Dragon Gate Lock."

And purpose.

The gold and silver jewelry currently inside the treasure house may be just a cover-up.

The man in black was like a frightened mouse. With a slight bump, he was ejected and jumped three feet away.

His throat almost screamed like a marmot.

"Oh mom￥......#*%%"

As soon as the ghost scream started, the man in black realized something, and immediately reached out his hand to cover his mouth and nose, causing a burst of incoherent sounds to come out of his mouth.

Wait until he lands.

Turning around, he saw another man in black appearing silently behind him. His face, which had already lost all color from fear, began to break out in cold sweat. A pair of exposed pupils shrank in an instant. Two small points.

"You, you, you...are you a human or a ghost?"

Seeing Luo Yang behind him, the man in black's legs weakened with fear, and his words were slightly trembling.

Seeing the timid appearance of the other party, Luo Yang couldn't help but feel a bad taste in his heart, but considering the current environment, he finally suppressed the bad taste temporarily and said directly.

"Of course I am a human being, Lao Bai."

"Ok?"

As soon as the word "Lao Bai" came out, the man in black opposite him was obviously stunned for a moment.

"You, are you Xiao Luo?"

"it's me."

Luo Yang nodded.

Confirming Luo Yang's voice again, the man in black on the opposite side obviously breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh my god, Luo! You almost scared your brother to death. Why did you come here?"

"I was asked to come here to investigate something, what about you?"

"Me, I'm almost the same as you."

Hearing Luo Yang's rhetorical question, Lao Bai's eyes dodged and he hesitated.

This man in black.

Surprisingly, it is Bai Zhantang from [Tongfu Inn].

Chu Liuxiang had asked Lao Bai for help before in order to investigate the case of the Sunflower Sect's annihilation, but he rejected it at that time.

did not expect.

Now Luo Yang actually met him here.

This is obviously not normal. After all, although Lao Bai used to be a "thief saint", this guy's courage has always been smaller than that of a mouse. Under normal circumstances, even if he was given ten more courages, he would not dare to break into Prince Taiping's palace. treasure house.

There was obviously something happening behind this that Luo Yang didn't know about.

But Luo Yang didn't think much about it.

He still trusts Lao Bai, not because of the good relationship between the two, but mainly because with his courage, he is basically unlikely to be involved in any big cases.

As for the reason why the other party sneaked into Taiping Prince's Mansion, everyone has some secrets. As long as it has nothing to do with you, there is no need to delve into it.

"It's not good! It's on fire! Come and put out the fire."

While the two were talking, a commotion suddenly came from outside the treasure house, which made Lao Bai's expression suddenly change.

"No, my mother...my accomplices have already taken action, and we are running out of time."

With that said, Lao Bai didn't care about reminiscing with Luo Yang, and quickly came to the iron gate in three steps and two steps, took out a piece of iron wire, and wanted to risk trying to open the "Bagua Dragon Gate Lock".

As a "stealing saint".

Lao Bai naturally also knows some techniques of sliding doors and locks. But the "Bagua Longmen Lock" is different from ordinary secret locks, and even Lao Bai is not sure about opening it.

But now the accomplices outside the door are already preparing to take him out according to the agreed time. Even if he is not sure at this time, Lao Bai can only take the risk.

But just when he was about to take action.

I saw a big hand suddenly stretched out and held down Lao Bai's arm.

"If you do this, not only will you not be able to open the Bagua gantry lock, but you will also trigger the internal mechanism of the lock, completely locking the Bagua gantry lock. Let me do it!"

Finished.

Luo Yang reached out and took out an exquisite leather bag from his pocket. After opening it, he found a set of exquisite and compact tools inside.

Lao Bai next to him was stunned.

Colleagues?

"The Bagua Dragon Gate Lock is divided into eight secret locks. Each secret lock requires a different method to open. In addition, this set of secret locks also used the Qimen Dunjia technique when casting, so when opening the lock, you must also open it. The secret locks must be opened in order according to the eight trigrams of Qiantian, Kundi, Zhenlei, Xunfeng..."

"Once there is a slight mistake, all eight secret locks will be completely locked in an instant and can no longer be unlocked."

Luo Yang murmured to himself while carefully studying the secret lock on the iron door.

It seemed like he was explaining to Lao Bai on the side, or like he was recalling how to open a lock.

······
And just when Luo Yang was concentrating on studying unlocking in the treasure house.

In the palace at this moment.

A sudden fire ignited half of the kitchen, and thick smoke and flames rose into the sky, illuminating most of the palace.

In the study room, Taiping Palace was in full swing, and Gongjiu Jiu was alarmed and walked out of the room.

"what happened?"

Taiping Wanggongcheng was a middle-aged man with a goatee. He was wearing a dark purple gown. He glanced at the thick smoke rising from the direction of the kitchen and said majestically.

"Reporting to the prince, it seems that water accidentally leaked from the kitchen. Now the housekeeper has sent people to put out the fire."

"It's so late at night, how come the kitchen is missing?"

King Taiping frowned.

"this······"

The servant at the door suddenly couldn't answer.

On the other hand, Gong Jiu, who was on the side, suddenly focused his eyes and seemed to have thought of something. He quickly asked: "How is the situation in the palace's treasure house?"

"Hui Shizi, the fire in the kitchen should not have affected the treasure house."

King Taiping's expression changed slightly and he said: "Jiu'er, what do you mean..."

Gong Jiu said calmly: "I'm not sure yet, but it's best to go there. You guys, come with me."

Gong Jiu gave orders to the guards behind him, and then took the lead in walking towards the palace's treasure house.

And in a shadow not far from the study.

I saw the blue-shirted butler who was commanding his subordinates outside the side door of the palace before, quietly staring at Gong Jiu. Then his figure flashed, performing an extremely superb light skill, and disappeared from the place at a speed that was almost teleporting. .

······
at the same time.

Within the treasure house, Luo Yang has opened seven secret locks in a row.

Just as he was about to open the eighth secret lock, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.

"Is there anything unusual in the treasure house tonight?"

"Hui Shizi, there is nothing abnormal."

"Well, open the door, I want to go in."

"Yes."

Hearing the noise coming from outside the door, Bai Zhantang's expression suddenly changed.

"Oops! What to do?"

Bai Zhantang subconsciously asked Luo Yang, but received no response because Luo Yang's attention was all on the secret lock at the moment.

at last.

With a soft "click" sound, the last secret lock opened.

Luo Yang immediately removed the secret lock and pushed open the thick and heavy iron door. As the iron door opened, Luo Yang and Bai Zhantang finally saw clearly the scene inside the iron door.

But that's it.

But their expressions instantly changed dramatically, and their pupils shrank suddenly.

Because what is placed inside this iron door is neither gold, silver jewelry, nor antique paintings.

Instead, there were neat rows of armor, weapons, crossbows, and firearms that shone brightly in the darkness.

This scene.

Not to mention Bai Zhantang, a coward.

Even when Luo Yang saw it, he couldn't help but feel a numb scalp at this moment.

"I wonder, Lu Xiaofeng, what kind of trouble have you caused me?"

······
hum~~
As the heavy treasure house door was opened, Gong Jiu walked in slowly.

Enter the treasure house.

Gong Jiu first scanned the entire treasure house without leaving any trace, but found nothing. The entire treasure house seemed extremely quiet, and neither ghost could be seen.

He didn't say anything.

He just walked in on his own and wandered around the treasure house seemingly casually. Occasionally, he reached out and took out a luminous pearl from the jewelry shelf beside him and plated it twice.

at last.

He came to three boxes.

"What's in these three boxes?"

"Hui Shizi, these three boxes were just delivered tonight. It is said that they are birthday gifts for the prince from officials in the capital. Do you want my subordinates to help you open them?"

"Forget it, no need!"

Gong Jiu waved his hand and said.

Gong Jiu's seemingly calm inquiry almost didn't scare Lao Bai out of hiding in the box. It wasn't until he heard that Gong Jiu didn't want to open the box that he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Not a moment later.

Gong Jiu's footsteps slowly faded away.

at the same time.

The sound of closing the treasure house door also slowly sounded.

Just as the door was closing, suddenly, a sharp shout came from outside the door.

"who?"

As this sharp shout rang out, the guards and soldiers outside the treasure house suddenly fell into chaos. It seemed that someone had broken in late at night and was entangled with the guards outside the door.

Actually.

The chaos outside was the opportunity created by Lao Bai's accomplices for him to escape.

It is not easy to get in and out of the treasure house of Prince Taiping. Without the help of his accomplices, even Luo Yang would have been unable to do anything before.

heard movement.

Lao Bai quickly opened the box quietly and looked out through the gap.

When he was sure that there was no one in the treasure house, he immediately jumped out of the box and ran away towards the door like a frightened rat.

however.

Before he could get close to the treasure house door.

A voice suddenly sounded from behind him, instantly making Lao Bai's escape movements stiff.

"If you take another step forward, I will chop off your legs."

The words that came from behind were not loud, and they were even understated. But when Lao Bai heard these words, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and he stopped instinctively.
