"Sir, what do you think?"
The man looked at the black-robed man and asked. Everyone also looked at him.
"Yes, this matter is feasible.”
The black-robed man nodded.
"Since we want to inquire about the situation, we must sneak into the Imperial Palace. However, the Imperial Palace is heavily guarded, and there are countless Embroidered Uniform Guards guarding it in the dark.”
Everyone frowned.
The Imperial Palace was the last place they wanted to step into. There were many people in the capital, so it was not difficult for them to sneak in.
However, the Imperial Palace was different. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a dragon's pool or a tiger's den.
"Leave this matter to me.”
Just as they were deep in thought, the black-robed man spoke.
This could not help but make people doubt his identity. Who exactly was he to dare to say that he could let them sneak into the palace safely?
However, everyone had clearly seen his ability, so they did not look too surprised. They looked around and nodded.
……
Crown Prince Manor.
"Crown Princess."
"Where's Zhan Jue?"
Zhang shi looked at the guards at the courtyard entrance and asked.
"Reporting to the Crown Princess, the Fifth Prince is still in the room. He said that we are not allowed to enter without his orders.”
The guard cupped his fists and replied.
"What is he doing now?"
Zhang shi looked at the courtyard not far away and muttered. After thinking for a while, she stopped moving forward.
"Keep an eye on him. Don't let him mess around.”
"Yes, sir!"
After Zhang shi finished her instructions, she looked deeply at the courtyard and then left.
At this moment, in the room.
Zhu Zhan looked at the black stone the size of a human head in front of him. This was the Millennium Coldsteel he had obtained from the raid.
"We can't waste such a large piece of Millennium Coldsteel.”
Zhu Zhan Xin looked at the Millennium Coldsteel and muttered.
The Millennium Coldsteel was the same material as the Meteoric Metal. It was a top-notch material whether it was used to refine pill furnaces or magic treasures.
"Now that I have a pill furnace, I'm just missing a weapon. I'm also a dignified immortal. How can I not have an 'immortal weapon'?”
Zhu Zhan thought for a moment and immediately decided that he would use these Millennium Coldsteel to forge a sword!
To be precise, it was a flying sword.
As for why it was a flying sword, wasn't it the standard for immortal cultivators?
It was a pity that he did not know how to refine a magic weapon yet. Otherwise, he would have directly refined it into a magic weapon. However, it did not matter too much. At most, he would melt it and refine it again.
He carried the Millennium Coldsteel and walked towards the alchemy room.
Anyway, it was not a magic treasure, so the pill furnace could be used.
"Phew, this thing is really heavy!"
Zhu Zhan Xin finally carried the Millennium Coldsteel to the alchemy room. At this time, he was already exhausted and panting.
It couldn't be helped. This thing was indeed heavy, and his physical condition was right there. How could you expect a twelve or thirteen-year-old child to carry such a heavy thing?
If it weren't for the help of spiritual energy, he wouldn't even be able to carry it.
Speaking of which, he felt that his body seemed to have grown a lot recently. Even Zhang shi said that he seemed to have grown a little taller.
She added more food for him when she ate, afraid that he would not be full.
From the looks of it, it wouldn't be long before he could leave the pavilion.
When he thought of marrying, he thought of the girl from the Western Regions he bought. What a good girl, how could she be caught by Zhang shi?
What kind of imperial grandson was he? Other rich businessmen's children had maids to warm their beds, but his own bed-warming maid was confiscated by his parents. Just thinking about it made his heart ache.
However, this was not a bad thing. After all, cultivation was the right path, and women would only affect his cultivation.
Anyway, that was how he comforted himself.
As a spiritual fire lit up, the long refining journey began.
……
"This is your infiltration route. The time is set for tomorrow night. At that time, you can wear the clothes of the Embroidered Uniform Guards and sneak into the Imperial Palace.”
The black-robed man threw a pile of clothes and sabers on the table.
Everyone quickly looked over and found that not only were there clothes, but there were also waist tags exclusive to the Embroidered Uniform Guards. As long as they wore these clothes, they would be the real Embroidered Uniform Guards.
At the very least, outsiders would not be able to tell unless they met the real Jinyiwei.
Seeing this scene, everyone could not help but be a little surprised, even though they had guessed how the black-robed man would arrange them.
However, they really did not expect this situation. How much power did this black-robed man have?
"I have already prepared the route for you. As for the patrolling Jinyiwei, you don't have to worry. No one will pass by the place you sneaked into tomorrow night.”
The black-robed man reminded them again.
Everyone nodded.
"Then let the five of us set off. It's not easy to deal with more people.”
A burly man said. There was no meaning in the crowd.
They were all outlaws. This was nothing more than a matter of who died first. Moreover, if they could assassinate Zhu Di, even if they died, it would be worth it!
"You can arrange the specific matters yourself.”
The black-robed man left after saying that.
Everyone hurriedly stood up. After he left, they began to discuss.
"The route Daren gave us is to the east of the Imperial Palace, not far from Zhu Di's bedchamber, but there are still quite a number of Brocade Guards patrolling outside.”
"Although these clothes can save us a lot of trouble, we can't be careless.”
The few of them nodded with rapt attention. Then, they began to arrange the specific tasks.
Their main goal this time was to find out about Zhu Di's situation. Of course, it would be better if they could assassinate him.
There was one thing that had to be said. From the beginning to the end, they did not have a plan or an escape route.
Or rather, they did not plan to come out alive.
That was true. The Imperial Palace was a place where the slightest movement would trigger the hidden Embroidered Uniform Guards, the capital's garrison, and the most elite Divine Arms Battalion.
They did not think that they would be able to come out alive under such an inescapable net.
……
"I'm finally done!"
Zhu Zhanxin looked at the longsword in front of him and sighed.
These few days, he had worked himself to death trying to refine this flying sword. However, when he saw the finished product, he felt that these days of hard work had been worth it.
Looking at the dusky sky outside, it was already midnight. Most of the people in the residence had already fallen asleep.
"Just in time to go out for a walk."
Looking at this situation, Zhu Zhan Xin smiled.
A few days ago, his cultivation had just broken through to 60% Qi Refinement and he had mastered a new spell. He could try it out.
"By the way, I haven't seen the night view of the Imperial City yet.”
Zhu Zhan Xin muttered to himself and then decided to take the flying sword to see the night sky of the Imperial City.
At the same time, on the side of the Imperial City.
"Is everything ready?"
The Embroidered Uniform Guards nodded.
"Relax, we're the patrolling Embroidered Uniform Guards now, don't show any flaws.”
The man in the lead reminded them and then led them in.
