In the forest near the front of Dynasty. It was already late.
They were at the border between the Central Plains and the Jin Shuo Dynasty. There were no inns in this forest, so they could only rest here for the night. They lit a fire and sat around, discussing their next move.
" Thank you for your hard work, everyone," Yin Xianyin said." We'll arrive at the Jin Shuo Dynasty tomorrow."”Although her words were directed at the five of them, her gaze remained on Helan Zhixuan.
Ji Qingxi was very unhappy. No wonder Yin Xianyin's name was Yin Xianyin! He said,"Is Helan Zhixuan that good-looking?" Staring at him?"
Ji Qingxi was referring to Yin Xianyin, but Lu Xiao answered,""I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose.”He simply felt that He Lan was really good-looking and couldn't help but look at her more.
Everyone was speechless, and Yin Xianyin immediately looked away.
"Lu Xiao!" Helan Zhixuan said angrily. Can you not appear in front of me!”He didn't know how many times Helan Zhixuan had warned him not to stare at him with lecherous eyes!
Ji Qingxi wiped the sweat off her forehead, wondering if the world had been overturned.
Zhao Shizhe and Ping Yuxiao chose to remain silent.
"Then shouldn't Miss Yin tell us where the antidote is and the scope of our operations?" asked Ping Yuxiao.”Ping Yuxiao had always been concerned about this topic.
Yin Xianyin hesitated for a moment and said,""The antidote is in the palace. If you want to find the antidote, you can start with a sword. Because this sword is the same as Luxiang and Luxiang's antidote, they are both treasures of Jin Shuo's palace. According to my analysis, the possibility of them being placed together is extremely high. Besides, this sword is more conspicuous than the antidote, and we will be able to detect it more easily.”
A treasured sword? Now, the antidote was actually related to a strange sword! Zhao Shizhe controlled his temper and asked,"Does that sword have any special characteristics?"”
"Of course. The end of the sword hilt is inlaid with a moon-shaped crystal. There are white diamonds around the gold. This sword was extremely sharp and could cut through iron like mud.”Yin Xianyin replied.
"Moon-shaped?" Lu Xiao said thoughtfully," Now that you mention it, I remember that our Sacred Sect also has a sword. It's very similar to the sword you described. However, the difference was that the end of the sword hilt was inlaid with a star-shaped crystal instead of a moon-shaped one. There were blue diamonds around the gold. That is our Divine Lord's most precious sword. Although we have never seen its true power, it is regarded as a treasure by Divine Lords. It is definitely a world-class divine sword!”
Helan Zhixuan and Ji Qingxi looked at each other. Their expressions were solemn because they knew a secret. The sword Yin Xianyin mentioned was called the Silk Moon Sword, while the sword Lu Xiao mentioned was the Soul Star Sword. Silk Moon, Soul Star, and Winged Sun were the three world-famous divine swords! Its origins were well known to the martial arts world, but the three divine swords seemed to have disappeared with Yun Chengling. No one knew where the swords were. Ji Qingxi wanted to say something, but Helan Zhixuan gave her a look in time to stop her.
Yin Xianyin's expression changed. Soul Star Sword?
Although Zhao Shizhe knew about the legend of the three divine swords, he did not recognize them. "Then how do we sneak into the palace?" he asked Yin Xianyin.”
"I've already sent people from the Dark Silk Palace to ask around. Tomorrow, we will coincidentally meet the Demon Empress Yin Bishan and her carriage team. I think this is the best opportunity for Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe to sneak into the carriage team. Follow Yin Bishan into the palace and stay by her side. Then, you should be among the Queen's accompanying guards in the palace. This way, you have the opportunity to patrol the harem and ask for information there. This poison was created by Yin Bishan and brought into the palace. To find out where she was hiding, he had to arrange for someone to be by Yin Bishan's side.”Yin Xianyin said.
"Not bad, it's a good job," Ji Qingqing said.”What Ji Qingqing meant was that they would naturally have the chance to enjoy the Demon Empress's beauty and be blessed with women.
Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe looked at each other. The two of them were quite willing to work together. This way, they could interact more with each other and understand their roots. After all, they were extremely curious about each other, just like how they were curious about Yin Bishan's face.
Lu Xiao didn't like Yin Xianyin's arrangement. This way, he and Helan Zhixuan obviously couldn't act together. "What about me? What should I do?" Lu Xiao asked.”
"Lu Xiao, Ping Yuxiao, you two move together," Yin Xianyin said. Every day, there will be eunuchs in the palace who bring people to the palace to bring water and grain into the palace. We can first bribe the people who bring water to bring water into the palace for them, and then…"
"Then what?" Lu Xiao asked impatiently. He had accumulated a lot of resentment because he was not arranged to be with Helan Zhixuan.
Yin Xianyin laughed shyly and said,""I'll have to trouble the two of you to pretend to be eunuchs and stay in the palace, waiting for an opportunity to scout around Yang Huo.”
"Disguised as eunuchs?" The five of them exclaimed in unison.”
Yin Xianyin smiled charmingly and said,""I hope that the two young heroes will not care about personal fame and fortune and focus on the overall situation!”
Helan Zhixuan, Zhao Shizhe, and Ji Qingxi secretly laughed. Fortunately, Yin Xianyin didn't leave such a difficult task to them. Even if Lu Xiao and Ping Yuxiao were extremely unwilling, they could only swallow their anger.
With the tasks assigned, Ji Qingxi anxiously asked,""What about me?"
"What are you so anxious about?" Yin Xianyin asked. It's your turn soon. I must first instruct Lu Xiao and Ping Yuxiao that if anyone thinks that you are not from the palace, you must adapt to the situation and be prepared to escape. As for you, Ji Qingxi, follow me to the palace to see Princess Li Luo. I have some friendship with Princess Li Luo. Once, she met bandits in the Central Plains and I saved her. This time, we pretended to visit her and took the opportunity to secretly investigate the whereabouts of Luxiang's antidote. She's Yin Bishan's cousin, so she should be able to help us gather information.”
Why did Yin Xianyin choose him to go with her? "I have some questions," Ji Qingxi said, puzzled.”
"Go ahead," Yin Xianyin said.
"Why am I going with you?" Ji Qingxi asked. Why didn't you choose Helan Zhixuan?" He was curious why Yin Xianyin would give up the chance to be alone with Helan Zhixuan.
"Let me talk about Princess Liluo first. Her name is Yin Xiazhen." She didn't know that I was from the Dark Silk Palace. In order to thank me for saving her life, she gave me a royal jade pendant and promised that in the future, if I encountered anything that required her help, I would bring the jade pendant to look for her. As for why I chose you to go with me, there is naturally a very important reason. You will understand very well when the time comes.”As she said this, Yin Xianyin revealed a strange smile, making Ji Qingxi feel very uncomfortable.
"I have a question too," Lu Xiao said listlessly.”
Yin Xianyin gestured for Lu Xiao to speak.
"Where would Ping Yuxiao and I find someone to deliver water?" Lu Xiao said with a long face. Also, we don't know anything. If we stay in the palace, it'll be easy to tell that we're not eunuchs. Also, why do you want me and Ping Yuxiao to be eunuchs together? Don't you think He Lan looks more like a eunuch?”
Helan Zhixuan glared at Lu Xiao and said fiercely,""Do eunuchs have to be good-looking and good-looking like eunuchs?”
" This is the least dangerous operation," Yin Xianyin explained." Helan Zhixuan has a more important mission." Lu Xiao, you lost to He Lan in the last Sword Technique Conference, which is the best proof that you can't take on more important tasks.”
The beauty really didn't leave any face when she attacked him. Lu Xiao was speechless. "What about me?" Ping Yuxiao asked with conviction.”
"Because Helan Zhixuan is handsome," Yin Xianyin explained patiently,"It's safer to be with Yin Bishan." Think about it, that demoness might have coveted He Lan's beauty and couldn't bear to kill him. Therefore, my layout was carefully designed.”
Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe were sweating profusely. Weren't they playing the role of male companions? She really couldn't stand Yin Xianyin's explanation.
" I'll get someone to bribe you and arrange for the delivery of water," Yin Xianyin said to Lu Xiao." You need to change into the eunuch's clothes after entering the palace." There are many eunuchs in the palace. As long as you don't do anything too eye-catching, no one will notice you. At night, you can find a place in the palace where no one is.”
Yin Xianyin turned to ask Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe,""Do you have any questions?" This group of people did not seem to have any objections.
The two of them didn't have too many problems. Helan Zhixuan left this opportunity to strike up a conversation with the beauty to Zhao Shizhe. He said,"Zhao Shizhe, tell me about your problem.”
Zhao Shizhe thought carefully and really thought of a problem. He asked,"How do we meet? If he found the sword or the antidote, how would he inform the others?”
Oh, this important point had almost been overlooked. Fortunately, Zhao Shizhe had brought it up. " Starting tomorrow night, at midnight every two days, one of our three groups will meet in the abandoned bushes near the Cold Palace," Yin Xianyin said." It's a place overgrown with weeds, and there aren't many people there. We'll report our situation there." If they didn't come, they would treat it as an accident. Once an accident happened and their purpose was exposed, it was best to escape from the palace. The final meeting place was here, so those who were lucky enough to escape from the palace would wait for others here. There was no need to risk entering Jinshuo.”
"It's a little inauspicious, though I shouldn't have brought it up to spoil the mood." But I have to ask, what if someone gets caught?”
Yin Xianyin smiled lightly and said,""Anyway, no one will save him. It's a great loss for one person!”
Helan Zhixuan's heart trembled. What a viper beauty. Her smile was as beautiful as the "flower" young master of the Heaven God Sect. He said,"You mean that person deserves to die?"”
" Even if that person dies, he won't be able to expose the other people's hiding spots," Yin Xianyin said." Of course, this kind of thing is very dangerous in itself. We can only pray that everyone is fine." Even if there are people among us, for the sake of the overall situation, we don't allow others to rescue them. I'm only giving you the preliminary information about the plan. Later, I'll tell you how to deal with the difficulties in the detailed plan. More importantly, it will depend on your own wisdom.”
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. Although they were allies who advanced and retreated together, they were actually just companions who did not help. Of course, one's life could not be compared to the safety of the entire martial arts world, but everyone felt that there was a great distance between people.
"One last question. I want to know where the meeting place is. Where is the bush outside the Cold Palace?" Lu Xiao asked. Also, I heard that the Jin Shuo Dynasty can only enter but not leave. Is that true?”
" I know," Yin Xianyin said." No one knows anything about the palace. I've already bribed an informant to draw a map of the palace. I'll distribute it to everyone later." In order to maintain a certain number of people, the Jin Shuo Dynasty stipulated that they could not go out casually, but it was an exaggeration to say that they could only enter and not leave.”
Yin Xianyin actually mentioned the Silk Moon Sword. This was something that Helan Zhixuan had been struggling with. How did she know that the Silk Moon Sword was in the Jinshuo Dynasty? A series of questions puzzled him. He probed,"I still have one more important question. Great Beauty Yin, I feel that your understanding of the Jin Shuo Palace has really exceeded the Dark Silk Palace's understanding of the Jin Shuo Dynasty.”
Yin Xianyin was first surprised by Helan Zhixuan's words. There seemed to be a hidden meaning behind her words. Was he suspecting something? Yin Xianyin calmed down and said,""What do you mean? When I found out that everyone was poisoned on Mount Kunlun, I sent a letter to the Dark Silk Palace. After the Palace Master learned of the situation, she arranged everything.”
Helan Zhixuan continued to ask," Then how did you get in touch with the people from the Dark Silk Palace? You were always with us. I didn't see the people from the Dark Silk Palace come to tell you about their arrangements in Jinshuo?"”
"Yes, we're together," Yin Xianyin said,"but do you have anyone watching me every night?" As for last night, after you were asleep, it was normal for me to meet and talk to the people of the Dark Silk Palace.? Young Master Helan, you seem to be interested in Xian Yin. Why don't you marry me and I'll make you interested?”Yin Xianyin didn't expect Helan Zhixuan's continuous questions, so she could only change the topic shamelessly.
The other four stared at Helan Zhixuan and Yin Xianyin strangely. These two were always flirting with each other.
