After learning the news, Li Jiangnan already understood that the next plan would be adjusted. If he wanted to get the antidote, he could no longer make any decisions about Hirakawa Hachiro. Instead, he would enter the forbidden mountain located in the inner garden of the Dongyang Imperial House and search for the herbs they needed in the mountain.

After returning to the rental house, Li Jiangnan took out his second-hand laptop and connected to the Internet, and made some contact with Su Zhan, who was far away in China.

Not long after, Su Zhan sent him a satellite map, which was a colorful topographic map of the Eastern Palace.

With this map, Li Jiangnan studied the terrain and architectural layout of the Imperial Palace Inner Garden for a long time, and a plan to break into the forbidden area of ​​the Imperial Palace at night gradually emerged in his mind.

However, it is not easy to implement this plan. Li Jiangnan once inspected the bad situation over there on the periphery of the imperial palace and had some understanding of the vigilance of the imperial palace.

Those tall palace walls are actually not troublesome. With Li Jiangnan's skills, he can easily enter the palace. However, Li Jiangnan knew that in addition to the guarded sentries, there are many modern surveillance equipment in various walls, gates, and guard posts of the Dongyang Palace, such as 24-hour monitoring cameras, high-voltage power grids, and even infrared alarm devices.

If these things exist, if you force yourself to break through, the risk of failure is too high. The best way is to sneak into the palace and wait until late at night to take action. Only in this way can you be much more secure.

"It seems that I can only find a way out of Yumiko..."

Li Jiangnan put down his mouse and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Before this, he wanted to hide when he saw Yumiko and did not want to contact that dangerous woman at all. But now, he had no other way, so he could only rely on Yumiko Sagawa, hoping that he would have the opportunity to enter the palace through his "friendship relationship" with her.

This opportunity came after the fourth day. Yumiko's master Hirakawa Hachiro wanted to play chess, but he didn't want to play chess with his master disciple Yumiko who often lost to him. So while drinking tea with Yumiko, he took the initiative to ask about the specific chess game that Yumiko and Li Jiangnan played chess and clashed with each other on the same day.

Yumiko was smart and when she heard the teacher understand the chess situation that day, she knew clearly in her heart that the teacher's chess addiction was coming and she wanted to compete with Li Langjiang.

Yumiko herself wanted to call Li Langjiang over because no matter what, Li Langjiang was much more interested than the young masters of the aristocratic family who had been pestering her all day long. Moreover, she always had a slight doubt about Li Langjiang's identity, so she called and asked Li Langjiang to visit the imperial residence.

The phone number was made in the morning. After receiving the call, Li Jiangnan did not agree at all. He only said that there was no time during the day and only took six or seven o'clock in the afternoon. It was convenient to ask the other party at this time point.

In fact, he didn't have time. He just wanted to find ways to stay in the palace overnight, so he delayed his time until the evening.

In this way, it is probably late at night after playing the chess. Hirakawa Hachiro and Yumiko, as the masters, will definitely keep him overnight in the Imperial Palace, and then his chance will come.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Li Jiangnan arrived at the Imperial Housewives on time. Apricot Hanakawa and the zombie-faced Colonel Shinkawa Zuobu were already waiting for him in front of the palace gate.

Sitting on the military jeep of Colonel Zuo Bingwei, Li Jiangnan dealt with Huazi's chat and headed all the way to the Imperial Palace Inner Garden.

The scenes seen on the road were as Li Jiangnan expected. The palace was heavily guarded, and soldiers were constantly patrolling back and forth. Even the gates of various guard posts were equipped with military wolf dogs that specifically checked explosives and explosives.

The more you go to the palace, you are on guard and off-road, the more checkpoints there are. However, when you really get to the inner garden area of ​​the palace where the royal family lives, there are fewer soldiers who are on guard. After all, this area is already a living area of ​​the royal family. Too many outsiders will cause inconvenience to the royal family.

"Mr. Li Langjiang, we have arrived."

"Miss Yumiko and her teacher have arranged a banquet and are waiting for you to start the meal..."

Huazi got off the car with a smile and led Li Jiangnan into a simple and unique courtyard. The rockery and flowing water, water pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard were elegant.

Li Jiangnan secretly remembered the direction of the house, followed Miss Hanako all the way. After a while, passing through an octagonal pavilion, Li Jiangnan came to the place where Yumiko and Hirakawa Hachiro met.

"Welcome to come, Mr. Langjiang..." Two maids in palace clothes stood at the door and bowed to Li Jiangnan to say hello.

On the wooden steps behind them, Yumiko was wearing a white kimono, as bright as snow, and smiling slightly. Beside her, Hirakawa Hachiro was also there, twisting his beard and smiling, nodding to Li Jiangnan to show his goodwill.

Li Jiangnan was secretly alert, but with a harmless smile on his face, he stepped forward to greet Yumiko and Hachiro Hirakawa.

After a simple and exquisite Japanese meal, a low chess table was set up in the wing room. Yumiko knelt down and made tea for the teacher and Li Jiangnan. Li Jiangnan and Hirakawa Hachiro smiled and gave in for a while, then began to make a move and compete on the first game on the chessboard.

It's eight o'clock in the evening.

Li Jiangnan looked at the time and thought to himself that he would delay the three games of Go until after twelve o'clock in the evening, because after twelve o'clock in the evening, whether it was out of courtesy or sincere resolution, the other party could only leave himself in the palace to spend the night.

To be fair, Hirakawa Hachiro's chess skills are not as good as Li Jiangnan.

Although Hirakawa Hachiro is more powerful than Yumiko's chess and can even compete with the former national player Zhang Yongtao and Zhang, Li Jiangnan is a wizard who has won a strange fate after all, and he will not lose when playing against Hirakawa Hachiro.

However, in order to control the time, Li Jiangnan deliberately played the chess game extremely stalemate, as if it was comparable to Hirakawa Hachiro's level, and he let the water go while playing chess without showing any signs of mountains and water.

This game situation looks particularly exciting. Both sides repeatedly attack and defend, and their tricks emerge one after another. Not only Hirakawa Hachiro, who played chess, was very excited, but even Sagawa Yumiko, who watched chess, had beautiful eyes shining and forgot time.

Under the control of Li Jiangnan's unrestrained mountains and water, Hirakawa Hachiro won the first game.

In the second game, in order to calm Hirakawa Hachiro's interest, Li Jiangnan used a little trick and made a midfield counterattack, defeating Hirakawa Hachiro in one game.

After the second game, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening. Hirakawa Hachiro won first and then lost, so he was naturally unwilling to accept it. He immediately cleared the board and wanted to fight the third game at night.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Li Jiangnan smiled politely and said with a retreat: "Senior Hirakawa, it's too late tonight."

"If I don't leave the palace again, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out."

"It's better to come and play chess with your seniors another day."

Hirakawa Hachiro was in high spirits, so why would he agree? He patted his hands carefully and said, "Young man, don't leave tonight, play chess with me."

"You have very high chess skills. Since your teacher got confused by drinking, I have rarely encountered an opponent like you."

"So tonight, you must play a few more games with me. Even if you stay up all night, you will have to fight the male and female..."

After hearing this, Li Jiangnan began to regret it a little.

It seemed like I had done too much. According to Hirakawa Hachiro's opinion, I probably wanted to play chess all night. If this is the case, I wouldn't have time to go to the sacred mountain at night.

Fortunately, at this time, Yumiko spoke with a smile.

"Teacher, it is certainly a great pleasure to meet a opponent in life."

"But the teacher is old after all, so you should pay attention to rest."

"Yumiko proposes that the game of chess tonight will end here."

"And Mr. Li Langjiang, why not stay here for a few days to play chess with the teacher every day..."

After hearing Yumiko's words, Hirakawa Hachiro stopped insisting and said happily: "Li Langjiang, Your Highness the Princess just issued an oral order, you can't refuse."

"I'll stay here in the past few days and play chess with me, the old man..."

Of course, Li Jiangnan couldn't ask for it, but he smiled bitterly, as if he was embarrassed, and reluctantly agreed.

Then, under Yumiko's arrangement, Li Jiangnan moved into a simple and elegant wing room.
