Now that he has sneaked into the palace, the next step is to formulate a specific plan to steal the Yeqing Glass Bead. Analyze the existing situation, integrate intelligence, troubleshoot problems, allocate manpower, and arrange time. Only Chrollo can do this kind of resourceful work. Only someone who is used to making overall plans can be fully qualified. Therefore, after dinner, when several people started to discuss the plan, it was natural that he would take the lead. www..com
He made a comfortable gesture of folding his hands and placing them on his knees. This was Chrollo's usual posture for thinking and issuing orders, and he started.
"Let's summarize the current situation and the next steps to take. The Yeqing Glass Bead is in the hands of Yu Xiaoli, so the first task is to find out the location of the palace where the other party lives and the specific place where he collects the Yeqing Glass Bead. Secondly, is The defense issue is not only the security force to protect Ye Qingli Zhu, but also a thorough understanding of the overall protection of the palace, and then the appropriate time selection and personnel arrangements."
After laying out the action steps clearly and logically, Chrollo looked at Celluloid and asked.
"Before formulating a specific plan, Cellululu, please explain what you know. The more detailed the better. I need reference."
Nodding, Cellululu thought about it for a moment before explaining carefully.
"I'm not very clear about the specific distribution of palaces in the Royal Palace of Li, but the overall layout should be similar. I can draw a basic distribution map for you later. And regarding the defensive strength, I remember that this is common to all countries, from the outside to the outside. Inside, it is divided into three layers of security forces according to their levels, covered by different barriers, and then personnel are stationed."
"The area outside the palace ranges from the foot of the mountain to less than halfway up the mountain. It is mainly the residential area for servants and the palace used to entertain people of low status. We are in this area now. The barrier here has only one function, and that is Restricts the ability to move in and out of the palace through space movement spells. The middle area of the palace runs from the mountainside to the ridge, and is composed of the guild hall where envoys and courtiers use to rest, as well as the palaces of the kings. The enchantment here is stronger, whether it is demons or monsters. For humans, large spells, extremely lethal spells and all space spells are banned. Only some auxiliary small spells can still be used. The ridge to the top of the mountain belongs to the innermost area, including the meeting hall, ancestral temple, and altar. , the treasury, the living area of the emperor and his wife, the barrier here prohibits the application of all spells. If the demon is in this area, even the physical quality will drop to the point where it is no different from ordinary people. The Ye Qingli Bead we are looking for is collected in From the treasury.”
"Treasury? Are you sure? Hasn't Ye Qingli Pearl been given to Yu Xiaoli? Why isn't it with him?"
Chrollo thought for a moment and raised a doubt.
Shaking her head, Celluloid explained.
"No, a country's treasures are so precious, how can they be stored in an unsafe place? King Li's reward of Ye Qingli Pearl to him means that he transferred the right to open it to Lord Yu Gui. The treasures are usually kept in In the special storage box, a magic seal has been placed on the box, which can reflect all spells. It is also forbidden to destroy it with brute force. Only recognized people can open it. Therefore, now only Yu Guijun can take out the night green glass beads from the box. "
"Huh? Really? It's not enough to obtain the Night Green Glass Bead. After you get that thing, you can use mind control to make him open the box."
Chrollo didn't think this problem was a big problem and said casually.
"No, there is an identification formation on the box. The box will not be opened without my own will."
Celluloid shook her head and denied again.
"Then let him start it on his own. There are many ways for him to do it."
Feitan smiled darkly, with a cruel arc at the corner of his mouth.
Thinking of Feitan's 'specialties', Cellululu, who had personally learned his methods, couldn't help but tremble slightly. It was both fear and anger. She looked directly at Feitan without flinching, with a serious look on her face. .
"That's impossible! Out of one's own will means non-coercion, non-control, and willingness. There is essentially no difference between your torture and my mind control. They both allow him to open the box without subjective consciousness. Don't Just think of all your crazy ideas! Why can't you find a way to win his cooperation?"
"cut!"
The girl's fleeting emotional changes and movements were all seen in Feitan's eyes, and an unknown suffocation flashed through his heart. He did not refute the girl again.
"His cooperation? It's unlikely, right? Let's just live a good and prosperous life. Why does Yu Xiaoli have to cooperate with us? I don't think there is anything we can do without taking coercive measures."
The knight didn't take it seriously and took advantage of the situation. He didn't agree with Cellululu's idea. He was too naive.
"It's not necessarily true. You all know about him. Looking at his performance yesterday, you can feel that he is not willing to stay in the palace. It can even be said that he has a grudge against King Li, so I think it can be done. A deal, in exchange for taking him out of the palace, and letting him take the initiative to open the box."
Cellululu quickly expressed her thoughts. After knowing that Ye Qingli Zhu was in Yu Xiaoli's hands, she had been thinking about whether there was a way to get the best of both worlds.
"Hmm~ It sounds feasible, but Xiao Lulu is really interested in Yu Xiaoli~"
Hisoka glanced sideways at Cellululu and said with a joking expression.
"I just think it would be better if the other party could leave us willingly. The success rate of escape would also be improved."
Hearing this, Cellululu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, her face turned red, and she argued in a low voice that she was indeed selfish because she didn't want to see a depressed look on this face, so she hoped to help Yu Xiaoli. , let him escape from this prison.
Interrupting what others wanted to say, Chrollo brought the topic back to business.
"In short, no matter whether a deal is proposed or not, Yu Xiaoli must be taken away. In this way, our manpower must be divided into two groups, one to get the Yeqing Glass Bead, and the other to capture Yu Xiaoli. All we can say is that now The situation is much easier than I expected. On the Treasury side, if the magic cannot be used, the people here will not be opponents based on physical fitness alone. Because it is a strong attack, it is also a key point, so it is up to Jin, Hisoka and me. Let's go together, and then to Yu Xiaoli's side. Small spells can be used in the middle area, so the victory or defeat depends on speed. You have to win it before the opponent activates his ability. This is done by Feitan and Illumi. The knight is here On the periphery, flexibly arrange the route to break through. If Cellululu is concerned, just follow us, just in case. The personnel arrangement is roughly like this, and then the specific route and time point selection-"
Hearing this, Cellulu hesitated and interrupted Chrollo.
"Wait a minute, um, it's best not to count too much on my power. The power used to restrict long-distance movement in the outer areas is very strong. I may be able to go out alone, but there is absolutely no way to take so many people with me at the same time. In the middle My ability is basically weak in the area, and the effect is even worse in the innermost area."
Although she told Chrollo and the others that she planned to steal Baozhong without attracting attention, Cellululu herself did not actually have much confidence. The key was that the barrier here could also act on her, from the inside to the outside, layer by layer. reduce.
Hearing this, several people looked over in surprise. They didn't expect that the girl had such a serious problem, which she had never mentioned before.
Not to do anything uncertain and not to make enemies of those who are stronger than oneself is not only the family motto of the Hakkas to beat the enemy, but also the principle that Illumi believes in. Therefore, Cellululu's recklessness made him very disapproval, and he was about to say a few words of education. , I heard Jin scolding him first.
"Selulu, why didn't you tell us such an important thing earlier? If Qingqiu Xiao hadn't come forward and we couldn't get in, this task would have fallen entirely on you. Have you never thought about the seriousness of this? "
"I'm sorry, but since I haven't completely lost my ability, I think I can still succeed if I give it a try and leave after getting the things."
Overwhelmed by Jin's momentum, Cellululu couldn't help but shrink her shoulders and spoke hesitantly.
Jin Li was furious. What he was worried about was not the mission, but that Cellululu always didn't take his own safety seriously, which really made him not know what to say. He rubbed his temples and spoke helplessly.
"Oh, that's not what I'm talking about. Just leave without getting anything. What if you get caught? That's too rash. This is tantamount to death! Wait, death? You don't just want to rely on that - —”
Halfway through, Jin suddenly remembered the strange phenomenon that occurred on Cellululu's body after her death, stared at her in disbelief, and asked.
"Huh? No, it's not,"
Cellululu immediately denied it anxiously, paused, unconsciously touched her wrist, and said na na.
"What I thought of at first was another method."
"Another method? Is it related to the bracelet that identifies the owner~?"
Hisoka glanced at the gorgeous bracelet on Celluloid's hand and asked.
"Huh? It's not particularly relevant." Cellululu immediately withdrew her hand from playing with the bracelet.
"Let's end this matter. Since Cellululu's ability will be affected, then you can join the group of Feitan, Illumi, and Xia Ke as a support, okay?"
Chrollo has no interest in studying the secrets of Celluloid for the time being. There is always this opportunity, but the task is still important at the moment. He waved his hand and signaled the two of them to stop. He looked at Celluloid and asked. Seeing her nodding in agreement, she made the next step of arrangements.
"The last thing is the choice of time. There are too many of us here. If we want to go out naturally and openly, it is best to go out with the troupe of actors, so the night before the Wenxin Garden performance mission ends is the best time. Action time, above, any objections?"
After scanning the audience, no one asked questions, Chrollo finally concluded.
"Then, let's allocate the tasks for the next few days. Illumi and Xia Ke will try to figure out the terrain, guards and escape routes from here to the treasury. Feitan and Hisoka will be responsible for the terrain and defense near Yu Xiaoli's palace. , Jin and I will explore the escape route, Sai Lulu, you find a way to get close to Yu Xiaoli and look for opportunities to persuade."
After making the final decision, several people nodded and dispersed, thinking of ways to carry out their tasks——
Dixian Mountain, at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, a pavilion with carved beams and painted buildings is looming among the sea of clouds. The sweet and pure sound of pipa overflows from a terrace extending out of the cliff. The clear sound reaches the sky and drifts into the distance with the wind.
There were about seven or eight people on the terrace. Two men were sitting at the top, each followed by two or three attendants. A girl in red was at the bottom, sitting on her knees with an upright posture on the ground, her eyes closed and her head lowered, and she was concentrating on playing. Pipa in hand.
At the end of the song, the man in blue sitting on the left clasped his hands together and gave a few clicks, praising:
"Sai Qing is indeed very talented, and your pipa playing is also exquisite. In the past few days, there is no instrument that you are not good at. It is indeed a talented person from generation to generation."
After a slight pause, the man in blue smiled and turned to the man in white next to him.
"However, when it comes to the ultimate voice, the most talented person in the world like Yu Guijun deserves it. I am afraid that no one in the world will dare to say anything more than him. There are people like Yu Guijun in Li State who are actually the best in our country. Fortunately."
This man is none other than Mr. Lan Huang. His words are both positive and negative. He seems to be praising Yu Xiaoli’s skills as being superior to Cellululu, but in fact he is downgrading him to the status of an actor. .
Yu Xiaoli was not annoyed, tilted her head slightly, and responded calmly but respectfully.
"I received the emperor's false praise, and my servants were frightened. The art of music is so profound and profound that no one in the world dares to claim to be the best. It's just a false name. I have listened to Sai Qing's performance these days, and I have become proficient in any musical instrument. There are even more types of masters, and this alone is beyond the reach of my servants."
"I have been favored by the emperor and the noble nobles. I only know a little about the way of happiness. How can I be appreciated by the nobles? The four words of "perfection" are really far from each other. The two nobles do not mind that I am vulgar. It is my greatest honor to take the time to listen to you."
Cellululu had no interest in interfering with the drama of open and covert fighting, nor did she want to harm innocent people. She chose the wording of her response carefully to ensure that neither party would be offended. Cellululu said politely.
"Sai Qing is too self-effacing. I still have the ability to judge whether he is a real talent or a piece of embroidered pillow."
Mr. Lan Huang smiled with unknown meaning, and after finishing his words lukewarmly, he straightened up and spoke to Yu Xiaoli with reserve and concern on his face.
"I've had a lot of fun today. I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Mr. Yu Gui, since you've been in the palace for many days and I haven't seen you happy, I'll just listen to a few more songs to relieve my worries. Sai Qing, you have to be careful. On."
Glancing at the celluloid next to him, Lan Huangfu commanded with dignity.
"Thank you very much for your kindness. I send you to the emperor."
"I will obey the decree and send you to the Emperor."
Seeing that Mr. Lan Huang was about to leave, Yu Xiaoli stood up closely behind him and bowed to the palace to express his gratitude and see him off. Cellululu also immediately bowed her head in recognition.
After Lan Huangfu left, the terrace suddenly fell into silence. Yu Xiaoli sat quietly in her seat, neither telling Cellululu to play nor chasing people away, but just being in a daze. Cellululu did not The strings are plucked automatically and familiarly, and the style of the music suddenly changes, from the original cheerful and smooth to the lingering, pathos, and euphemistic sadness.
As she plucked the strings in her hand, Cellululu was also thinking about something. Since the banquet, this was the fifth time she had received an order from Lord Yu Gui, summoning her to Qiyun Pavilion - Lord Yu Gui. There was a performance in the palace, and every time I went there, only Lan Huangfu and Yu Guijun were present. During several performances, Yu Guijun showed a lack of interest and non-committal, but Lan Huangfu found an excuse to leave early after listening to three or four songs, but he still wanted her to stay a little longer and play a few more songs. But the person who asked her to come was indifferent from beginning to end.
After several times, Cellululu couldn't help but have doubts in her mind, and she began to doubt whether the summons was really written by Yu Guijun. In the forbidden area of the palace, she, a woman, frequently came in and out of the palace, which really made her feel like a conspiracy, but for For Celluloid, who has the mission of approaching and persuading, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that cannot be easily given up.
I hope she is overthinking it. Anyway, as long as she acts cautiously and pays attention, she should be fine, Cellululu thought. She has not mentioned the transaction in the past few days. She feels that the time is not ripe and haste makes waste. She still understands this.
Therefore, every day after Lan Huangfu left, she would choose some nostalgic songs that would remind people of the past happiness, hoping to touch Yu Xiaoli's heart. Only when she thought of the sweetness of the past would she hate the existing ones even more. Cage, and then all you have to do is make up your mind for him.
After finishing a song that was both happy and sad, Celluloid changed the song, but this time it was decisive and high-spirited, as if breaking through the constraints, full of resistance, exhilarating and inspiring.
It seems despicable to do this, and it is no different from controlling and exploiting people's hearts. Cellululu frowned, feeling a little disgusted in her heart. For herself who adopted such a method, it doesn't matter whether it is despicable, as long as she knows that Yu Xiaoli is true It is enough that he is not attached to the palace.
After alternately playing several songs that were either resentful or inspiring, Cellululu put away the instrument as usual after dropping the last note. Just when she was about to bow and leave, Yu Guijun suddenly spoke.
"You play one more song."
Hearing this, Cellululu looked up in surprise, but then followed the instructions and plucked the string again.
As the pipa played melodiously, Yu Guijun turned his head and gave instructions to the left and right.
"Wen Xuan, I suddenly remembered that Zhang Dejun wanted to see the golden screen that the Holy Father gave me the day before yesterday. He never asked for it back after giving it to him. Your Majesty is coming today. I'm afraid she will ask about it. Go and put the screen for me." Get it back."
Hearing this, the attendant on the left stepped back, paused for a moment, and then Lord Yu Gui said:
"Wen Yan, I feel a little uncomfortable in my throat today. Go to the imperial kitchen for me and ask someone to make a bowl of loquat paste stewed with snow pear."
The attendant on the right also withdrew. Seeing Yu Xiaoli take away the two servants, Cellululu was slightly startled and realized that the opportunity to persuade had finally come. It should be said that the other party was indeed a master of music, and he knew the elegant meaning of the string song after hearing it.
Sure enough, after guessing that the two attendants were almost gone, Yu Xiao left the door.
"Mrs. Sai, please continue playing your music and don't stop. Now there are no outsiders present. I want to know, what exactly do you want to do when you approach me? What are you encouraging in those songs?"
"Jade Guijun, can't you hear what I mean?"
Playing her lute, Cellululu asked in a roundabout way.
"I think I should understand, but that is impossible to achieve, or in other words, it is too difficult to achieve."
Yu Guijun paused for a moment before returning ambiguously.
"Now that there is such an opportunity, are you willing to try it?" Cellululu asked equally vaguely.
"Who are you, and how can you guarantee that you will be able to leave?"
After a moment of silence, Yu Xiaoli stopped quarreling with Cellululu and pointed out the facts directly without answering the question.
"My superficial identity is an actor, of course, my actual identity is also a wanderer, but I can assure you that after leaving, we will take you to Mingguo, where there are people I know well, and the other party has a high status. I will definitely be able to hide you safely.”
Sai Lulu returned calmly and decisively. When considering Yu Xiaoli's future placement, Sai Lulu had already made up her mind to prepare for a showdown with Rong Xiu and seek her help.
"What about the exchange conditions? You can't help me for nothing."
Yu Xiaoli pondered for a moment and asked.
"We need Ye Qingli Beads, so the condition is that after we send you to a safe place, you have to open the sealed box for us." Cellululu stated the purpose.
"Ye Qing Lizhu? It turned out to be for that, but why should I trust you? How can you ensure that I will be safe? The treasure of a country and the noble prince disappeared at the same time, and the intensity of the pursuers will not be any less. go."
A trace of surprise flashed across Yu Xiaoli's face, but then she asked.
"Yes, no matter how thorough the plan is, there are things that cannot be taken into account. I really can't give you any more guarantees and proofs. Therefore, the next step depends on whether Yu Guijun has the determination to leave. This It’s a gamble. If you win, you will be free from now on. If you lose, you will lose your life. The choice lies with you, Mr. Yugui.”
Cellulu had no intention of coaxing the other party with sweet words. She talked about the possible results in a matter-of-fact way, paused, looked up at Yu Xiaoli for a moment, and asked firmly every word.
"But, I just want to ask, are you willing? Are you willing to spend the rest of your life in this palace of intrigues? Stay with someone you don't love and give birth to children for her?"
Each sentence was like a sharp knife piercing into the heart, and a look of bitterness and resentment gradually appeared on the always cold face. Forced to restrain her emotions, Yu Xiaoli sighed, as if she was very tired, and it took a long time to utter a sentence.
"—Let me think about it."
"I look forward to your good answer, um, and today's conversation -"
Cellululu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded in understanding, and then stopped talking.
"Whether I agree to this or not, I will not tell others about you, don't worry." Yu Xiaoli said understandingly.
The author has something to say: It’s a boring chapter. I hate writing plans and conspiracies because I don’t have the brains. ╮(╯▽╰)╭~. Today, I also fixed a few bugs. Hisoka appears for the first time. Because the ability to read was mentioned in that chapter, it was inconsistent with the situation during the second meeting later in the article, so it was deleted. The second bug was in the last chapter of Meteor Street Chronicle. Considering the side effects of Celluloid removing others, Obviously, there was no way Venkululo didn't know about it, so he didn't change it.
The soundtrack of this chapter is "Pipa" by Lin Hai. It should be a very well-known piece of music. It makes me feel both happy and sad.
