Chapter 22 Night Visit to the Palace

Late night. Full moon.

Zhao Chengfeng's mansion has completely declined. Since the bloody incident in the Zhao Prince's Mansion, it has been rarely visited here. Although the crime scene has been cleared, the remaining blood on the ground is still shocking.

Outside the Zhao Prince's Mansion, Zhao Xiaofeng stood quietly in front of the gate.

The gate of the royal palace had already fallen to the ground. The door panel, which was originally majestic and dignified, is now filled with dust.

Zhao Xiaofeng suppressed his grief and anger and walked in gently.

As soon as he entered the door, what appeared in front of Zhao Xiaofeng was the shocking blood. Because it took too long, the bright red blood stains turned dark.

Zhao Xiaofeng's vision was blurred, and tears seemed to be flooding with the gates, flowing freely on his face. He squatted on the ground, his body trembling violently. This was originally his home, but now he is back!

Although Zhao Chengfeng was the general of the Great Zhao Empire and was granted the throne, his Zhao Palace was not big. Zhao Xiaofeng had already traveled to every room and every corner here. Finally, he came to the back garden of the Zhao Palace. The back garden of the Zhao Palace is very small and exquisite. A pot of bonsai is the biggest feature here.

Zhao Xiaofeng saw a pot of withered chrysanthemums at first sight. He walked slowly over and saw a hole. The hole was not big, and only allowed one person to pass through. After brushing the weeds beside the hole, Zhao Xiaofeng jumped down without hesitation.

As soon as he jumped into the hole, Zhao Xiaofeng smelled a strong stench. He took out the fire note and lit a small torch he carried with him. In front of him, dozens of corpses were lying everywhere. The corpses were already highly decayed and emitted a strong stench.

Zhao Xiaofeng closed his eyes, and tears slid down from the corners of his eyes. Although he didn't know these people, he could still vaguely see from his clothes that these people were servants of the Zhao Prince's Mansion. Zhao Xiaofeng carefully moved the dozens of corpses together, and then took off his coat and gently covered it on it. The coat was given to him by Uncle Jiu, and he will leave it here forever now. This is his respect for the deceased!

At the end of this passage there is an open wall, inside it is a temple. The temple covers an area of ​​about half an acre. The huge temple is empty and nothing. There is a pile of black ashes in the temple, and a wisp of black veil on the ashes.

Zhao Xiaofeng suddenly walked over, slowly bent down, and gently picked up the black veil. For some reason, he had a strong interest in this black veil, which seemed familiar, as if he had seen it for a long time ago. Why is this happening, even Zhao Xiaofeng himself couldn't explain it clearly.

Before his death, grandma told Zhao Xiaofeng that the Rubik's Cube Ball was in the basement of the royal palace! This was the only basement Zhao Xiaofeng found in the Zhao Wang Mansion. But there was no shadow of the Rubik's Cube Ball here.

If the Rubik's Cube Ball is really a magical weapon, it will be more difficult to find it. Because the magical weapon itself has a hidden ability. If it really wants to hide itself specifically, it will be difficult for ordinary people with martial arts to find it. Only when the martial arts cultivation reaches the divine realm can it be difficult to feel its existence. Zhao Xiaofeng came this time to try his luck. Because he knew that although the magical weapon has hidden functions, it is impossible to be in a hidden state all the time. Hiding requires energy consumption.

Zhao Xiaofeng searched in the basement, and he searched very carefully. He searched every corner, and even the thick dust on the ground carefully. No, no, still no! With such a close search, he didn't even see the shadow of the Rubik's Cube Ball, and didn't even notice the slightest breath of the Rubik's Cube Ball. What's going on? Grandma remembered wrongly that the Rubik's Cube Ball is not in the basement of the Zhao Palace? Or is there more than this basement of the Zhao Palace? Or is it that the Rubik's Cube Ball taken away?

Zhao Xiaofeng sat down and sat on the dusty ground. He was waiting! If the Rubik's Cube Ball was in invisible at this time, as long as he didn't leave, he would definitely wait until the moment the Rubik's Cube Ball appeared. Although the artifact could be invisible, this invisible state could not last long, and generally would not last more than a day.

The strong rotten smell in the basement pierced Zhao Xiaofeng's nostrils. Zhao Xiaofeng didn't care. He sat quietly on the ground, closed his eyes, like an old monk entering a meditation. There were some problems that he couldn't understand. As the commander of the first army, why did his father Zhao Chengfeng lose the Rubik's Cube Ball so accidentally? The Rubik's Cube Ball is a treasure in the army and will definitely be kept in a very secret place with a dedicated person to guard it. Who has such great ability to steal the Rubik's Cube Ball without knowing it? There is another question that made Zhao Xiaofeng puzzled the most: Since grandma knew that the Rubik's Cube Ball was hidden in the basement of the royal palace, why didn't she tell her father Zhao Chengfeng? You know, Zhao Chengfeng lost the Rubik's Cube Ball and was in a very awkward situation. Not only did the 50,000 people of the Rubik's Cube Army no longer have the majesty, but his official title of the General of the State

Deprived, he was forced to leave the throne and "retire and return home"! Does grandma know that even if she told her father the whereabouts of the Rubik's Cube Ball, it would be useless and could not save the situation? Could it be... Could it be that the Rubik's Cube Ball hidden in the basement have already lost its magic power? At that time, his mother, the Wisteria God A Zi, was sealed in this basement. Her mother encountered a great disaster, and the Rubik's Cube Ball also lost its power. Could it be that this Rubik's Cube Ball is not an ordinary artifact, but a divine core of her mother? Legend has it that all cultivators in the divine realm not only have a soul, but also a divine core. The soul cannot be destroyed. Once the soul is destroyed, it will be a thousand kalpas. Not only will the cultivation be lost, but even life is difficult to preserve. The divine core can leave the body, and its power is almost the same as itself. This is just a legend, and no one has seen it with his own eyes. Could it be that the Rubik's Cube Ball is the divine core of the mother's Wisteria God?

Zhao Xiaofeng felt sad, and tears had wet his clothes at some point. He sat quietly on the ground, feeling his mother's breath. Although he had never seen his mother since he was a child, the deep affection of flesh and blood, which was thicker than water, has always lingered in his heart.

Three days passed, and Zhao Xiaofeng had not found the Rubik's Cube Ball yet! He knew that it would be useless if he waited any longer! He found this place and there were still many opportunities in the future.

After leaving the Zhao Prince's Mansion, Zhao Xiaofeng still has one important thing to do. Although he knew it was difficult for him to do this, he must try it.

This night, there were no stars or moons. The sky was dark, as if a huge black pot was buckled on the vast earth. The palace in Zhao Jingcheng was brightly lit. The gate of the palace was closed tightly, and above the gate tower were guards patrolling back and forth.

Zhao Xiaofeng was hiding in the darkness below the gate tower. He was looking for opportunities. Unfortunately, there were too many people here, and he had to wait for a long time and there was no way to take advantage of it. There was no way, so he had to walk along the gate tower to the right. On the gate tower, the lanterns and torches were as bright as day. After walking a few steps, Zhao Xiaofeng was discovered by the guards on the gate tower.

"Who do what?"

Zhao Xiaofeng did not run away, and raised his head lazily, revealing a small face full of dirt.

Seeing that it was a child with dirt on his face, messy hair and ragged clothes, the little leader of the guard regarded Zhao Xiaofeng as a wandering beggar and shouted: "Get aside, this is not the place to sleep!"

Zhao Xiaofeng raised his face and smiled foolishly: "Do you have no money to buy pancakes? Take this gold ingot?" As he said that, he took out a paper bag from his arms, and laughed and threw it up the door building.

The guards on the gatehouse were in chaos. Someone rushed to open the paper bag. The oil-filled paper bag was not gold ingots, and they were clearly two hard and moldy black steamed buns. The guard's little leader spitted on the ground: "Unfortunate, I want to shoot him with one arrow!" He really set off his bow and shot Zhao Xiaofeng. But when he looked down the gatehouse, the little beggar with a silly face had disappeared without a trace.

The guy cursed inwardly: "Damn it, a little beggar actually ran so fast!"

At this time, Zhao Xiaofeng had successfully entered the palace. The palace was also very cautious, with one stop every five steps and one whistle every ten steps. Fortunately, it is night now, and there is also an invisible place.

Zhao Xiaofeng hid behind a rockery and observed the surrounding situation. Although it was night, the magnificence of the palace still scared Zhao Xiaofeng, who had lived in the deep mountains and forests for a long time. With the bright fire everywhere, Zhao Xiaofeng was guessing the residence of the emperor of the Great Zhao Empire. There were tall and majestic buildings everywhere. He really didn't know where the emperor lived. Even if he found it, he didn't know which one was the emperor. What should I do? Otherwise, I would catch someone to ask! Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaofeng rushed towards a nearby building. His bodywork is very fast now, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find him. Even if he is discovered, no one can see his true face. Because his face is covered with mud. His appearance is just to prevent accidents.

Big red lanterns were hung everywhere in the palace, and the entire palace was shrouded in red light.

Zhao Xiaofeng tiptoed forward, and he listened as he walked. Any movement within half a mile could not escape his ears. He has lived in the forest of thousands of beasts since he was a child, and he made a living by hunting. No matter how cunning the beasts are, they cannot escape his tracking. But now, he seems to have become a wild beast, always alert to the hunter's bows and arrows.

A sudden burst of rapid footsteps came from the wide and clear aisle.

Zhao Xiaofeng hurriedly hid in the dark corner of the corridor. Although the footsteps were noisy, Zhao Xiaofeng could conclude that there were a total of three people coming.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the group ran past Zhao Xiaofeng. In the hazy red light, Zhao Xiaofeng was surprised to find that there were not three people in total, but four! Three people ran in front, and one person followed behind leisurely. It looked easier than walking. But this person's speed was not slow. No matter how the three people in front ran, they could not let him take a half step. What was even more surprising was that although this person walked very fast, he was silent and did not even have a sound. No wonder Zhao Xiaofeng only heard the footsteps of the three people just now.
