Cheng Fei rushed to the headquarters of the East Branch without stopping.
The distance between the state guesthouse and the headquarters of the East Chamber was nine miles.
With his martial arts skills, he could arrive in fifteen minutes.
As for what would happen to Duan Tianya who stayed behind.
He couldn't care less.
He might not even be able to protect himself.
The fate of others could no longer be cared for.
Very quickly.
Cheng Fei came to the entrance of the East Chamber.
The moment he arrived.
Then, she heard a commotion coming from inside.
"Assassin!"
"Someone has trespassed into the imperial prison!"
At the same time, it was accompanied by the sound of a large number of troops running.
Cheng Fei was shocked.
Trespassing into the headquarters of the East Chamber?
In the entire Great Ming Dynasty, only the people of Iron-bold Deity Marquis dared to do this.
It was a mess inside.
The assassin should have just entered.
Gu Santong and the Empress Dowager were most likely not exposed yet!
He was overjoyed.
He still had a chance.
He didn't have time to think about anything else.
Use the Wudang Ladder.
Cheng Fei easily sneaked into the East Hall.
The moment they entered the East Hall.
A group of people who had been cut in half fell to the ground.
There were eunuchs and Jinyiwei among them.
The wound was sharp and smooth, as if it had been cut by a knife.
In his memory, a weapon that could cut so smoothly.
It was definitely the Japanese samurai sword.
Could it be that this assassin was Japanese?
As he thought about this, he didn't stop. He took advantage of the chaos to enter the first level of the imperial prison.
He wanted to go to that secret room and head to the ninth level of the imperial prison.
The first level of the imperial prison was extremely quiet.
The corridor was filled with dead guards.
There were no prisoners in the cell.
Occasionally, there would be guards going to the lower levels.
No one noticed what was going on.
Cheng Fei Fei quickly found the secret room. Before that, he had changed into a set of Jinyiwei clothes.
With the brim of his hat lowered, it was difficult for outsiders to see his face.
He entered and closed the cell door.
He moved a few bricks away from the door and punched through the collapsed soil behind him.
They cleared a path.
He drilled into it.
Cheng Fei followed the passage down.
After descending a certain distance.
Through the mud wall, he could feel the fighting inside.
"Looks like we've already reached the fourth floor.”
"I have to hurry."
The assassin obviously did not know about this secret passage.
He chose to barge in from the top.
Cheng Fei quickly arrived at the ninth level of the imperial prison through the passage.
The moment he landed.
Someone walked out from a dark corner.
This person was Gu Santong.
"There was a fight up there. I knew you were coming.”
"What happened up there?"
Cheng Fei's brows furrowed, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
"Didn't you cripple your own martial arts?"
"How can you feel such a thick layer of soil?”
Gu Santong laughed loudly, his face full of pride.
"Who told you that my martial arts are all crippled?”
"I've only passed on forty years of my cultivation to you.”
"I can't use any martial arts that consume internal energy for the time being, but I can still use those that don't.”
"Moreover, with my talent, I can fully recover my strength in less than a year.”
Cheng Fei was shocked.
Forty years of cultivation, he only needed one year to fully recover.
Gu Santong was indeed a peerless martial arts genius.
While he was surprised, he didn't forget about his business.
"Where is the Empress Dowager?"
Gu Santong pointed at a black bag in the dark corner on the right.
An old woman's face appeared from the bag. She was the Empress Dowager, unconscious.
Your identity hasn't been exposed, right?"
Gu Santong clapped his hands and laughed arrogantly.
"Don't worry, I've pressed her sleeping acupoint. If I don't unlock it, she won't wake up.”
Cheng Fei went to check it out.
It was just as Gu Santong said.
Completely unconscious.
"Very good. It seems that you came back in time.”
Cheng Fei heaved a sigh of relief.
He thought that his plan had failed.
He didn't expect to be caught in such a coincidence.
It seemed that the goddess of luck was still looking out for him.
He pondered for a moment.
He turned around and looked at Gu Santong.
"Master, what other martial arts can you use now? Tell me everything."
Gu Santong waved his hand. He was slightly embarrassed when he asked this question.
"Right now, I can only use the first level of the Misty Smoke Steps, the first level of the Winding Dragon Hand, and the first level of the Sky Mountain Sword Technique…"
"Basically, you can only use the beginner stage of each martial art.”
Cheng Fei frowned.
"Isn't this basically useless?"
Gu Santong laughed without the slightest hint of nervousness.
"No, no, no…"
"You should say that. It's useful, but not completely useful.”
Cheng Fei pointed at the hole at the top.
"Can we go up? Can you leave the palace?"
"Barely."
"That's fine."
Cheng Fei sighed in his heart.
This old fellow seemed to be of some use.
"Alright, you said that you would help me.”
Gu Santong crossed his arms.
"That's right."
"Take this woman and follow me."
"I can't hide here anymore."
"We have to leave."
Gu Santong put the Empress Dowager back into the bag and carried her on his back.
The sound of fighting could be heard from outside the door.
Cheng Fei frowned.
He knew that the assassin was coming.
He turned to face Gu San Tong.
"Take her with you. Remember not to be discovered. Wait for me in front of the gambling den in the west of the city.”
Gu Santong carried the bag and exerted force with his feet. He actually jumped up the tunnel with his physical strength and entered it.
Cheng Fei watched him leave.
Lowering the brim of his hat, he pulled up his face cloth to cover his face, turned around, and stood with his saber.
At this moment, the door of the ninth level of the imperial prison broke.
It was cut off by a sharp sword qi.
A slender figure walked out of the darkness…
