From the Red Mansion, you can travel through the world of martial arts

Chapter 42 I think the Queen Mother is still charming!

The Dragon Guard has a full staff of 300 people, including three first-class people and six second-class people, most of whom are children of nobles.

Jia Wei had to report to the Forbidden City every day because it was a real job and naturally had responsibilities.

He needed to manage the assessments and promotions of his one hundred men, perform daily guard duties, and also accompany the emperor on guard during court meetings and when the emperor went on tour.

He was born in the Jia family, was a martial arts champion who passed the imperial examination, was highly regarded by the emperor, and was on good terms with his immediate superior, Duolong. Naturally, no one under his command dared to go against him.

Jia Wei was also happy to have some free time and was very satisfied with this transitional official position. Within a few days, he summed up his work experience and began to slack off, feeling very comfortable.

It was a dark and windy night. The walls of the imperial city were deep and thick. The branches and leaves rustled in the night wind, and two rustling voices were heard.

"Brother Jia, there are no fish on the hook. How long will we continue fishing?"

"How many times have I told you to use your job title when you're working?"

"Okay, Brother Jia, by the way, let me tell you something, Brother Jia - Brother Jia, do you remember the storyteller you met at the Jiaofangsi? That's the one from Chen Jinnan Sifang."

"Wei Xiaobao? What happened to him?"

"Hahaha! I saw him in the palace today. He actually entered the palace to be a eunuch!"

Su Can laughed heartily. Ever since he lost the martial arts exam to Jia Wei, he had been lazy and decadent on weekdays and rarely laughed so happily.

——Su Can also became a Dragon Guard, one rank lower than Jia Wei, and worked under Jia Wei.

As for the martial arts champion, Liu Fang from the Duke Liguo's Mansion, he volunteered to go to the Nine Frontiers for training.

Wei Xiaobao entered the palace?

It seems that he followed Chen Jinnan's order and entered the palace to steal the Sutra of Forty-two Chapters.

I don’t know what secrets the Forty-two Chapter Sutra of this world has…

"Where did you see him?" Jia Wei suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly.

"Outside the side hall."

It seems that Wei Xiaobao has already hooked up with the emperor!
Sometimes Jia Wei also admired Wei Xiaobao's good luck. He could meet the emperor while running around and win the emperor's trust and love. He had only mediocre kung fu skills, but he could live an extremely comfortable life.

Jia Wei then began to wonder whether he could gain any benefits from Wei Xiaobao.

Now he knew two things about Wei Xiaobao: one was that he had not been castrated, and the other was that he had joined the rebel Tiandihui.

So he has absolute control over the initiative.

"We've got a fish! We've got a fish!"

After another round of busy work, a two-pound fish was hooked up.

Just as the two were discussing how to eat the fish, a black shadow suddenly passed over the river, causing ripples, and flew towards the depths of the palace.

Su Can blinked and looked at Jia Wei again: "I was so sleepy that I actually had hallucinations."

Jia Wei handed him the fish and took out the bag of fine salt he carried with him: "If you feel tired, go back and rest. Don't disturb others. Wait for me to come back and eat."

Since the military examination, Su Can has been in a bad state, but Jia Wei doesn't care.

But he would not turn a blind eye. Firstly, he was curious, and secondly, if something went wrong, he would be responsible for dereliction of duty as the guard on duty tonight.

After Jia Wei finished speaking, he urged his inner strength to jump out, skimmed lightly over the surface of the river, used the gecko wall-climbing skill to climb over the tall palace wall, and saw the dark shadow lurking in the night.

He did not rush to catch up and capture the man in black, but stayed far behind to see what the man in black's purpose was.

The man in black seemed to be very familiar with the palace. He sneaked around and avoided all the guards.

Jia Wei was secretly frightened and followed him to a palace.

"Fengzao Palace?" Jia Wei determined the location. "Where the Queen Mother lives? What is he doing here?"

Jia Wei had some guesses, but was not sure yet, so he continued to follow. When he saw the man in black enter the yard, he jumped onto the wall, lay down on a roof, and watched what would happen.

After a while, a fight was heard in the backyard. Jia Wei looked over and saw six palace maids with swords besieging the man in black. The fight was extremely fierce. Jia Wei thought to himself, "It seems that the man in black is probably Eunuch Hai Dafu."

If it was Eunuch Hai, there would be no threat to the safety of the imperial city, and Jia Wei would not have to take the blame. This is good news.

Jia Wei thought that Eunuch Hai had a move called "Bone-Dissolving Palm". Although it was not very powerful, it could beat people into a bloody mess, which was also very perverted.

"If I learn the 'Bone-Dissolving Palm', I won't have to dump corpses anymore..."

The fight continued in the courtyard, but after just a few dozen moves, all six palace maids were defeated.

At this moment, a woman with extraordinary clothes and a graceful face suddenly walked out of the hall.

"Who dares to break into Fengzao Palace at night?"

"Is this the Queen Mother?" Jia Wei took a closer look. She looked to be only in her twenties.

She wore a phoenix crown and had an extremely beautiful face, but her face was very pale and her brows were slightly furrowed.

"I think the Queen Mother still has her charm!"

Although Jia Wei knew that the empress dowager in front of him was a fake, she was definitely disguised as the real empress dowager.

Jia Wei then remembered that the biological mother of Emperor Xuanwu and Princess Jianning had passed away, and the empress dowager in front of him was the second one.

The royal family is just good at playing!

The Queen Mother fought fiercely with the man in black, but the man in black was not keen on fighting. After a few moves, he jumped out of the courtyard wall and escaped.

The Queen Mother chased after him relentlessly, and several palace maids holding swords also quickly caught up.

"The man in black is trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

Jia Wei suddenly remembered that it must be Wei Xiaobao who was stealing the Forty-two Chapter Sutra in there, and the man in black must be Hai Dafu who was buying time for Wei Xiaobao!
"How about I knock Wei Xiaobao out and take the Forty-two Chapters Sutra? I can't make this trip for nothing tonight, right?"

As Jia Wei thought about it, he jumped down from the roof, landed in the courtyard, and walked towards the palace.

The door was open, and the entrance was facing the screen. There was indeed a figure rummaging behind the screen!
Jia Wei thought that he must not let Wei Xiaobao recognize him, otherwise he would be in trouble... Suddenly Jia Wei turned around and met a pair of smart eyes.

"Alas! You damn guard, don't you know where this place is? How dare you barge in..."

She saw Jia Wei's face clearly and stopped instantly.

Both of them stood still for two seconds.

Jia Wei saw that the person was wearing a men's robe, but her chest was bulging, so Jia Wei knew at a glance that she was a woman.

He has an oval face, thin lips, lively features and a heroic air.

Jia Wei panicked for a moment, but soon calmed down, "Could this be Princess Jianning?"

Ordinary palace maids would not have the courage to dress up as men in the palace.

Jia Wei looked into the room and found that the figure had disappeared. It must be Wei Xiaobao who heard the noise and ran away.

Forget it, the days are long.

The most important thing now is to resolve the current crisis. If the news of his trespassing into the Queen Mother's bedroom gets out, there might be some trouble.

"Uh... Sir, you said this is the Queen Mother's bedroom? I don't know!" Jia Wei shook his head and pretended to be stupid, "I took the wrong road for a moment."

"Sir?" Jianning rolled his eyes. "You don't know me? Are you new here?"

"Yeah yeah!"

Jia Wei just wanted to get away quickly and go back to eat fish with Su Can.

He recalled the relevant information about Princess Jianning...
