That night.
Xu Taiping and Huang Que, smelling of alcohol, returned to the inn.
But just as he was about to go upstairs, two famous flowers suddenly stopped in front of him. They both stretched out the broken bowls in their hands to him and said:
"Sir, if you do well, I will reward you with two copper coins."
"Sir, we haven't eaten for several days."
"Gungungun, your uncle and I are going to beg for food. Can't we beat him?"
The drunk Huang Que raised his fist at the two of them.
However, the two famous ladies were not scared away and continued to chatter behind them.
"Stop following us."
Xu Taiping turned around and glared at the two of them, deliberately releasing some aura fluctuations.
The two maidens were immediately frightened and took a few steps back.
However, when Xu Taiping turned around, one of the younger beggars quickly grabbed a handful of mud from the ground and smeared it on Xu Taiping's body.
"You rich people are called to look down upon others!"
After saying these words, the two beggars turned around and ran away with bowls and sticks.
"Forget it, let's go back and wash up. Don't be like them."
Xu Taiping was about to catch up, but Huang Que grabbed him, hooked his shoulders and pushed him into the inn.
"All right."
Xu Taiping glanced at the two fleeing figures named Hua inadvertently, and then nodded.
…
In the hotel room.
Xu Taiping changed out of his dirty clothes stained with mud.
However, he did not wash the clothes immediately. Instead, he took out a note covered in mud from his pocket.
When I unfolded the note, I saw a line clearly written on it:
"Everything is ready. I'll see you at the candy shop on Fulu Street tomorrow."
After reading it, Xu Taiping gathered flames at his fingertips and burned the note to ashes.
"After I go back this time, I have to thank Eighth Senior Brother properly."
He took a long breath and said.
That's right, the two people he just met at the door of the inn were from the beggar gang founded by his eighth senior brother.
As early as the first day he came to the capital, he handed over the money bag given to him by his eighth senior brother to a beggar who seemed to be reliable.
At first, he just thought of it as doing a favor to his eighth senior brother and didn't think too much about it.
But he never thought that after contacting the upper echelons of the Beggar Gang, he would discover that this seemingly inconspicuous gang actually had numerous informants in the capital of the Black Eagle Kingdom.
In order to thank him for sending the message, the Beggar Gang helped him collect a lot of useful information in the capital these days, such as the time for the changing of the guard at the city gate, where there are hiding places, and so on.
"Now the communication between the inside and outside of the city has been completed. As long as the Sixth Princess can be rescued in the Imperial City tomorrow, we can transport her out of the Imperial City without anyone noticing."
He said to himself as he changed his clothes.
"The biggest trouble now is how to hold down the oriole."
Xu Taiping then changed his clothes and looked out the window.
"Taiping, don't forget tonight, we have to send a heavy fog to this imperial city."
At this time, Fairy Lingyue's voice suddenly sounded in Xu Taiping's mind.
"I'll get ready right now."
Xu Taiping nodded, then took out a Qi Gathering Pill and stuffed it into his mouth.
…
The next morning.
A heavy fog enveloped the Imperial City and its surrounding large areas.
However, it was already the foggy season in the capital of the Black Vulture Kingdom, so no one thought there was anything wrong with the heavy fog.
Hongyun Restaurant, elegant room.
"Taiping, you've been in a hut for so long. You're so angry that you're secretly wiping away your tears, right?"
Huang Que, who was sitting at the table by the window, looked at Xu Taiping who had returned to the room and joked with a smile.
"Wash your face."
Xu Taiping replied calmly.
While talking, he sat down on a chair opposite Huang Que.
There was a chessboard on the table for the two of them, as well as two boxes of black and white chess pieces.
"But we have agreed, if you lose again in this round, I will go to Wanhua Tower with my brother tonight."
While talking, Huang Que grabbed a handful of chess pieces from the chess box and put his hand on the chess board.
Xu Taiping took out two chess pieces from the chess box.
Huang Que let go and took a look, and found that it was an even number, so he put the box of white coins next to him in front of him and said:
"you go first."
Xu Taiping nodded, then picked up a black stone from the black stone chess box, and pressed it on the chessboard with a "click" without hesitation.
"Thirty-three?"
Huang Que glanced at the position of the move, then grinned and said:
"It seems that Taiping was not very convinced in the last game. You took the lead. Do you plan to fight me directly?"
While he was talking, he also missed something.
Xu Taiping made a "click" sound and then made another move.
This time, it fell directly on Tianyuan.
Huang Que's originally cynical face suddenly became serious, and he began to rub his chin and think seriously.
"Brother Huangque, if I win this round, can you give me one of your Jiufu's hundred-no-taboo talisman?"
Xu Taiping asked with a smile at the oriole.
Jiufu's hundred-no-taboo talisman is a kind of proof of identity, and only monks recognized by Jiufu can obtain it.
"Okay."
Huang Que grinned, then picked up a chess piece and pressed it on the chessboard:
"But only if you can beat me!"
So there was heavy fog outside the window, and there was a sound of falling stones inside the window.
And in the midst of this sound, a figure hurriedly walked out of the restaurant and walked quickly towards the imperial city.
Look at that figure from behind, isn't it Xu Taiping, or who is it?
"Sister Lingyue, I lost the first two games. Can you beat him in this game?"
In the heavy fog, Xu Taiping put on a human skin mask and asked Fairy Lingyue in his heart.
At this time, he was just using his clone's eyes to show him the chess moves. The real chess player was Fairy Lingyue in the gourd.
"Don't worry, I won't kill him until he vomits three liters of blood."
Fairy Lingyue in the gourd is also sitting in front of a chessboard at this moment.
The chess game on the chessboard is exactly the same as in the restaurant.
"Then leave it to Sister Lingyue. My clone can only hold on for half a stick of incense."
Xu Taiping nodded, then took out the hiding grass from the gourd and held it in his palm, and then disappeared from the place.
