The moonlight was pale and it was late at night. In the courtyard, one person and one fish chatted for a long time, and all the words that needed to be said were finished.
"If there is nothing else, then I will go and rest." Niu Yuanping began to issue an eviction order. Now in the criminal court, there are many people and many eyes, so you can't stay with a monster for too long. If someone sees it, you may get into trouble again.
After collecting the sheepskin map and boundary-breaking nails, he prepared to go back to his room. But just as he was about to move away, he was stopped by the carp exit in the water:
"Master Niu, wait a minute." Hearing this, Niu Yuanping had no choice but to stop his feet, looked back at the fish spirit in the water, and asked:
"Is there anything else?" Carp Spirit smiled slightly and said:
"There is one more thing that is vital to Mr. Niu's life." After saying this, its gills immediately swelled, and then it spit out a white pill.
The pill floated towards Niu Yuanping, and he held it in his hand.
"This is the detoxification pill given by Your Highness the Dragon Girl. Your Highness is worried that you will be delayed for various reasons when you are in the palace and unable to come out, so you will not be able to detoxify in time, so you ordered me to give it to the young master in advance." Niu Yuanping was a little surprised. The carp spirit's belly is quite capable of holding things... Boundary-breaking spikes, sheepskin maps, and even detoxifying pills are stored in its belly.
At this moment, Niu Yuanping couldn't help but frown while holding the detoxification pill, which was as pale as moonlight.
He cursed in his heart:
"Will the detoxification pill that has been in the belly of carp have a fishy smell?..." He actually didn't want to eat this stuff.
Who knows whether this pill can detoxify... What if the more toxins you take, the more toxins accumulate in your body?
"Let's take a look at the situation! Demons are not worthy of complete trust! If there is no abnormality in the body, there is no need to take this pill." Don't take this so-called antidote unless it is absolutely necessary... I just thought about it and took it. The pills were put away.
Then look at the waves in the fish pond. I would like to ask Carp Spirit if there is anything else. But at this time, Niu Yuanping saw the carp spinning in circles in the water.
After turning three times in a row, the body slowly melted into red light and shadow and gradually disappeared. As it disappeared into the water, it left its last words:
"If you want to see me outside Prince Yan's palace in the future, you only need to call my name three times to a place with water!...My name is Suxi." When the lingering sound reached his ears, Carp Spirit had already Formless and shadowless.
Niu Yuanping looked down at the dark, empty water waves, thoughtfully.
"It seems that as long as there is water, it can appear at will..." A small carp actually possesses such magical powers!
"You really can't underestimate those monsters and ghosts..." After standing alone on the bank of the fish pond for a while, he turned around and went back to his room.
We will know tomorrow whether we can enter the palace. The tasks arranged by the dragon girl Yu Yixue can only be implemented after entering the Yan Palace.
Niu Yuanping thought:
"You may not really be able to enter the palace. As long as you don't enter, you don't have to do such troublesome things." Therefore, he hoped that Liao Shen would not have to express his credit to King Yan on his behalf... However.
Things backfired... Early the next morning, a maid came to report that Mr. Liao Shen, the official of the criminal court, had invited him.
Niu Yuanping followed the maid to see Liao Shen. It was still the same hall where people were singing and dancing yesterday, but it was much deserted today, with only Liao Shen and the two maids serving him tea next to him.
Today, Liao Shen looks much more awake, with a shrewd look in his triangular eyes. Seeing Niu Yuanping coming, he quickly greeted,:
"Brother, come quickly!" So Niu Yuanping approached and asked:
"What are your orders, sir?" Although he was asking, he knew very well in his heart. It is possible that King Yan will summon him!
"Get ready and go to the palace immediately! I will send execution guards to lead you." Sure enough...
"Dragon Girl Yu Yixue's calculation is quite accurate! Sure enough, King Yan will summon me after he finds out someone has accused Qi Fei of rebelling..." Niu Yuanping thought to himself.
There was no way... I originally thought I was lucky. If I didn't have the chance to enter the palace, I would naturally have a reason to prevaricate the task arranged by the dragon girl.
However, unexpectedly, King Yan summoned him... Since King Yan summoned him, he couldn't escape.
Then you can only go to the palace. Take one step at a time! This feeling of being controlled by others is really not very comfortable!
But in order to detoxify, you have to do things you don't want to do. However, being controlled by monsters all the time is not a long-term solution.
At this moment, Niu Yuanping was thinking:
"I can't be controlled by that witch forever! I have to find a way to find an antidote..." And I also have to learn to be smarter.
Don't complete the tasks assigned by the monster too easily, lest you end up in a dead end! After going through so much, Niu Yuanping is no longer innocent. In order to survive, he must have an exquisite heart with seven orifices.
If you are too honest and sincere, you will be easily taken advantage of by others. If it's just being used, it's not too bad, but I'm afraid of meeting a guy like Qi Fei who wants people's lives!
Using human life as a bargaining chip to achieve his own goals. Niu Yuanping had already suffered a loss once. Since he was lucky enough to survive, he definitely didn't want to suffer such a loss again.
...Soon, Liao Shen arranged for a Xingting guard named Huang Yao to serve as Niu Yuanping's guide and immediately set off for the palace.
More than a hundred miles due east of the Criminal Court, there is a bridge across the river. Crossing the bridge is the Yanwang Palace.
After riding a carriage with Huang Yao for a long time and crossing the bridge across the river, we finally saw the palace. Looking from a distance, I saw that the palace city actually used the mountain topography as the outer wall, with the steep mountains to the south, the mountains to the west, the cliffs to the north and the waters to the east as the outer city walls of the palace.
The great royal palace of the Yan Kingdom built a magnificent gate on the cliff canyon to the west as the only door to and from the palace.
From a distance, the palaces and pavilions are connected by various compound roads, corridors, pavilion roads, etc., forming a large closed circle.
It forms a magnificent and huge palace complex. These are just a glimpse of what can be seen at this moment. There are still palaces that have not been seen, which are indeed huge and complicated.
... Near the palace, you cannot ride horses or carriages, you can only walk. So Niu Yuanping and Huang Yao, who led the way, set foot on the engraved avenue outside the palace gate.
Even before entering, you can already feel its magnificence. As he walked, he silently inspected the scenery in front of him.
I saw that on both sides of the avenue entering the palace, every five steps there was a pair of armor-clad soldiers guarding both sides. Every ten steps there was a pair of strong men holding spears standing by. The security was very tight. Huang Yao was holding the torture court waistband all the way. Then he walked smoothly.
Niu Yuanping followed Zhanguang and walked towards the palace unobstructed. After about a cup of tea, he finally followed Huang Yao through this long engraved avenue.
Then he climbed up the five to six hundred jade steps and faced a huge city gate. After some communication, Huang Yao finally opened a small side door next to the huge city gate.
It seems that not everyone is qualified to open the main gate. It doesn't matter, as long as you can get in.
Niu Yuanping followed Huang Yao through the doorway and finally saw the scene inside. The black palace palace has hooked eaves and connected halls.
The long street is inlaid with gleaming strange stones... It's really luxurious! Here is the Yan Palace.
