Chapter 605: Palace Fights Are All Scheming
Chapter 605: Palace Fights Are All Scheming
After listening to the little mouse's description, Xiao Yun put on an invisibility talisman and a speed talisman on his body, reached out to pick it up, put it in his pocket, and went straight out of the palace to the yard.
She has also started practicing martial arts now, just because she has the strength pills and the body-building pills. As long as she practices the moves well, she can compete with the top masters in this world even without internal strength.
However, light skills cannot be mastered in a short period of time. It does require time and internal strength, so for now I can only continue to rely on talismans as a plug-in.
It was not too late at this time, and there were still many pedestrians on the road. Even if he was invisible, he was afraid of bumping into people, so Xiao Yun tried to walk through remote alleys and lanes, and took shortcuts through people's courtyards without walls.
Because he had used his spiritual sense to check in advance that there was no one in the yard, he did not notice that there was an old lady who forgot to use the toilet before going to bed and came out again after lying down.
As soon as the old lady opened the door curtain, she was covered in wood ash brought up by a gust of wind. She rubbed her face and looked up in confusion. There was no wind tonight, otherwise her family's head would not have piled the wood ash in the yard and prepared to carry it to the fields outside the city tomorrow. So where did the wind just now come from?
Then I saw a set of footprints in the yard in the moonlight. I was really scared. I leaned over to look in the direction of the footprints and saw a set of gray footprints in the yard next door. There was a head rolling on the wall next to the next door!
The scene frightened the old lady so much that she collapsed to the ground. After a long time, she screamed "Oh my God!" and crawled into the house.
Next door, the black cat, who had just turned over and was about to continue sleeping, was frightened by the howl and almost fell off the wall. He moved his ears angrily and looked around with his cat eyes. When he didn't find anything scary in the middle of the night, he lay down on the wall again.
The next day, rumors of a haunting began to spread in Bench Alley in the inner city. It was about a ghost that could rip off heads and roll them around for fun...
Of course, Xiao Yun, who was rushing all the way, didn't know this at the time. As soon as she put the little mouse down in the yard, more than a dozen mice surrounded her. They must have been waiting here in advance.
They couldn't see Xiao Yun because he was wearing an invisibility talisman. They saw the little mice surrounding them and guessed that the adult should have arrived as well.
Then a group of mice, big and small, surrounded the one that had been squeaking non-stop. Xiao Yun asked the little mouse a question through voice transmission, and heard the little mouse introduce her: "My lady, these are all my house mice. This is my third uncle, this is my great-grandfather, this is my grandparents, this is my parents, this is my sixth aunt, and this is my fifteenth brother..."
Xiao Yun was a little confused by the bunch of names it called relatives, so he simply interrupted it and said, "Tell me what news they have found out. I don't have much time and I have to go back."
This area around here can be said to be their family's territory, so they not only guard this yard, but can also hear what the neighbors are saying around their walls.
I saw a mouse with lighter-colored fur on its back take a few steps forward. It seemed to be the great-grandfather that the little mouse had just mentioned. He was already an old mouse.
Xiao Yun directly sent a voice message to it: "Did you find anything?"
The little mouse's great-grandfather nodded, and then he heard a sharp but obviously old voice ringing in his head, "Reporting to the Lord, the little mouse went to the shop in the outer city and talked with the fellows living there.
According to them, people often come and go in the warehouse in the backyard, some delivering goods and some picking up goods, but they almost always come at the same time and rarely store the goods in the warehouse, so their fellow tribesmen live directly in the basement of the warehouse, and no one comes to drive them away or kill them.
Oh, and they also said that the people who come to pick up the goods are different every time, and they leave after picking them up, and rarely come back a second time. However, the people who deliver the goods are always the same. I even heard them talk about the previous dynasty a few times.
Xiao Yun raised an eyebrow, "Previous dynasty?"
Old Mouse: "Yes, they were talking about the Prime Minister being paralyzed, the Duke of Zhenguo going to war, and so on."
Xiao Yun: Okay, she misunderstood. It was this previous dynasty.
Xiao Yun nodded and signaled it to continue. Thinking that the other party couldn't see him, he sent a voice message into its mind, "Go on."
The mouse's great-grandfather continued, "Those picking up the goods all sounded like they were from nearby, at most from some of the towns below. The people delivering the goods were different. Our fellow tribesmen there said that their accents were all over the place. They had only heard them mention a few places before, so they must be from over there.
They only remembered three, Yunzhou, Yanpingzhou and Linzhou.
Once they saw a man take out several iron spears from a sack of grain, and they thought that the grain was just a cover, and the weapons were what they were supposed to deliver.
Oh, by the way, the day before yesterday someone said something strange. He didn’t say what he was going to do, but only said that the Lord said it would be on the sixth day of the fifth month, and then he didn’t say anything more.”
Xiao Yun nodded with satisfaction. It was good enough to be able to find out this much.
She took out a large bowl of spiritual water from the space and placed it on the ground. Without her calling out, a group of mice gathered around and began to drink it in a hurry.
This is a reward for them. We can't let them work in vain.
After she finished drinking, she put the bowl away so she could use it next time. Then she told them to take good care of themselves and went straight to the main house in the middle courtyard.
She planned to hypnotize the "couple".
Before I even got near the room, I heard some "hmm" and "ah" sounds coming from inside. It seemed like they were a real couple and they were having an in-depth communication.
Then wait a moment, she is willing to give you this convenience.
But she wouldn't stand at someone's door and listen, that would be so perverted.
Since she was busy here, she found a rooftop farther away to sit on, and used her spiritual sense to explore the shop in the outer city.
The shop was still as normal as last time. There were only some old grains in the warehouse. The other party was very careful and just used it as a handover point. They would not store inappropriate things here.
Xiao Yun sat on the roof, exploring the shop with his spiritual sense while thinking about the news brought by the rats.
The date "May 6th" must have some special significance. Could it be related to this secret arms trade?
Could it be that the "grandson of the emperor" is preparing to start a rebellion?
Just as I was thinking about it, the sound from the main house gradually stopped.
Xiao Yun put his thoughts aside, jumped off the roof, and approached the main house again.
Listening to the sound of water inside, she should go to the bathroom to wash up, which just covers up the noise she made.
She quietly pushed open the window and quickly slipped into the house.
The candlelight flickered in the room, and the bed was indeed empty. The voices of two people came from the other side of the compartment, still flirting...
For the first time, Xiao Yun felt that having too good hearing was not a good thing.
