Chapter 254 The flower-picking female thief
In the Queen Mother's Palace, the Queen Mother had a very happy conversation with an old Taoist.

The old Taoist didn't know how old he was. He had white hair and a childish face, and his celestial demeanor made him forget all vulgarity.

Wearing a coarse preacher's robe on him, he looked like an immortal.

The more the Queen Mother talked to him, the happier she felt.

In the old man, she seemed to see the hope of immortality.

No one is not afraid of death, let alone the Queen Mother who is approaching the twilight years of her life.

She has stood at the pinnacle of feudal society, enjoying the support of the people in the world. Even if the conditions are difficult to achieve, she still has enough resources to give it a try.

The old Taoist didn't deliberately show off that he had a way to make the Queen Mother live forever, but it was his casual words and his relaxed and carefree manner that convinced the Queen Mother that he was a true master of the world and that he really had the ability to make her live forever. Not old.

"Taoist Priest Jingxu, after listening to your words today, the Ai family realized that all these years have been in vain." The Queen Mother expressed emotion and even used the honorific unconsciously.

"The Queen Mother is ridiculously complimenting you. You are rich in the world. These country gossips are just a novelty." The old Taoist's attitude was very humble and he did not get carried away because of the Queen Mother's praise.

This made the Queen Mother even more satisfied.

"Aijia is tired today. Taoist Priest, please go and rest. Taoist Priest is tired today."

As soon as he came out of the Queen Mother's place, Taoist Master Jingxu was stopped by the people around the Queen Mother.

"Taoist Master Jingxu, Your Majesty invites you."

Taoist Master Jingxu's expression did not change, "Please, father-in-law, please lead the way for me."

Zhang Yu is the eunuch who serves Huang Di. He has always been used to seeing all kinds of people, but this is the first time he has seen someone like Lao Tao.

If you only look at the appearance, who would believe that this old Taoist who looks like a master is actually the former leader of the Demon Sect.

Huang Di's impression of meeting Lao Dao was the same as Zhang Yu's.

Huang Di originally thought that he would see an old Taoist with a flattering face, but Jingxu's image was completely the opposite.

Despite this, there was no change in Huang Di's expression. Although he was fat, no one could ignore the imperial aura exuding from him.

"Jingxu has met your majesty, long live your majesty."

Jingxu's opening surprised Huang Di again.

He thought that Jingxu, a Taoist priest who seemed to be an expert in Taoism, would not salute him in a big way. Who would have thought that this old Taoist would actually give him a big bow as soon as they met.

This made it difficult for him to attack him for unreasonable reasons.

"Get up." Huang Di called softly.

The old man paused for a moment before standing up.

This is not because he is old and frail and has difficulty getting up, but to show respect.

The battle between the Queen Mother and the Emperor has been known to everyone for a long time, and the old Taoist does not want to offend anyone.

Huang Di couldn't help but admire such a fine person, even if he was standing on his opposite side.

After being seated, Huang Di chatted with Lao Dao. He wanted to find out what Lao Dao was like, but in the end, he was impressed by Lao Dao.

This was a dangerous signal, and Huang Di quickly ended the conversation and sent the person away.

After the people left, Huang Di frowned and his face didn't look very good.

He, an emperor, was led away by an old Taoist just now. Although he realized something was wrong and quickly sent the person away, this fact still made Huang Di feel uncomfortable.

Xie Yunting and Pei Zhang waited outside the Duke's Mansion for a long time before finally waiting for Jingxu to return. Around Jingxu's carriage, there were more than a dozen experts protecting him. This was only on the surface. No one was sure how many people there were secretly.

This shows Jingxu’s status in the Queen Mother’s mind.

"Yun Ting, why don't we go back first?" Pei Zhang saw his master again, but his mood was unexpectedly calm. He made a judgment calmly.

When he and Xie Yun stopped in the capital, they did not bring too many people, otherwise the target would be too big and it would be easy to frighten the enemy.

But with insufficient manpower, it would be difficult to kill Jingxu.

"Don't go back for now, let's check the situation again."

Xie Yunting kept his eyes looking in the direction of the Duke's Mansion, following the rules of guard positions and changes.

There are also some hidden piles, some of which can be seen, and some of which can only be judged based on experience.

Pei Zhang also imitated Xie Yunting and observed, but he was obviously not as good as Xie Yunting in this regard and could only see some obvious things.

"It's too dangerous, Yun Ting. It's not worth the risk for him." Pei Zhang saw that the situation was unfavorable and didn't want Xie Yun Ting to take the risk.

Jingxu has many opportunities to kill, but Yun Ting cannot be in danger.

Xie Yunting did not refute. She was not the kind of person who would be reckless just because she had some abilities. If she planned to do something, in most cases, she would do it because she was absolutely sure.

Having almost remembered all the stake points, Xie Yunting and Pei Zhang retreated together.

Returning to his final destination, Xie Yunting drew all the points on paper based on the memory in his mind.

After Pei Zhang saw the picture, he couldn't believe it.

How long was Yun Ting's brain? How could she draw such a detailed defense map when she clearly hadn't stayed longer than him?

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xie Yunting didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Isn't this a very basic skill?

She had received military training for the past year. If she didn't even have this ability, she would have been rejected by her master.

"I just think you are very powerful." Pei Zhang looked at Xie Yunting and suddenly felt proud that such a powerful woman was his lover.

"It's nothing. In fact, there are skills. If you want to learn, I will teach you someday." Xie Yunting said with a smile.

"Okay, then it's settled."

Pei Zhang is still very curious about this skill and is willing to learn it.

The two of them once again set their sights on the hand-drawn defense map.

"Pei Zhang, judging from the defense deployment of the Duke's Mansion that we have seen now, we still have a chance. You see here, and here, the security force is relatively weak, and the frequency of changing of the guard is also low. If we use this as a breakthrough, You should be able to enter the Duke's Mansion quietly."

Xie Yunting pointed out two places on the defense map to Pei Zhang.

Pei Zhang looked at it and nodded repeatedly. Indeed, as Xie Yunting said, compared with other places, the defenses in these two places are indeed looser.

Both of them are well-known masters today, so it shouldn't be difficult to sneak in from here.

However, Pei Zhang was still a little worried.

"Yun Ting, you may not know my master very well." He paused and thought for a moment, "He is a very cautious person. There may be loopholes in the defense of the Duke's Mansion, but my master will never do it. There are loopholes.”

He glanced at the defense map on the table again, "Especially after being imprisoned by me last time, he will only be more cautious."
