Chapter 431: The Difficulty of Entering the Zhan Palace
On the bustling streets of the capital, people were coming and going, and there was a lot of traffic. Ling Xiao and Qiang Zi walked and asked passers-by for directions until they came to the vicinity of the Zhanwang Mansion. They saw that the Zhanwang Mansion was heavily guarded, with high walls and a magnificent appearance.
When Ling Xiao saw this, his heart was filled with excitement. His days of displacement were finally over, and now he was about to start his wonderful life.
At this moment, Ling Xiao suddenly discovered that all the other brothers were squatting in various corners near the Zhanwang Mansion. He couldn't help but feel very surprised, and hurriedly walked up to them and waved.
When they saw their boss coming, they gathered in an orderly manner from all corners.
"Are you guys stupid or are you just bloated from eating? Why don't you go in? What are you doing here? If someone doesn't know, I would think you are planning to launch a surprise attack on Prince Zhan's Mansion and the Imperial Master's Mansion tonight. Are you waiting to enjoy the good life with me or waiting for me to collect your bodies?" Ling Xiao scolded them.
"Yes, didn't I tell you to go first? Why did you become stupid when you came here? Were you suppressed stupid by the dragon energy of the capital?" Seeing this, Qiangzi on the side also echoed.
"Boss, you have the letter. Without your instructions, we dare not act rashly. This place is not an ordinary place. On one side is the Zhanwang Mansion, and on the other side is the Guoshi Mansion. Both sides are people we cannot afford to offend. If we act rashly without waiting for you, if something goes wrong, it will be a loss to lose our lives here!"
At this time, a brother stood up and expressed the sadness of everyone waiting for this long.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao and Qiang Zi looked at each other, patted their heads, and said apologetically:
"Oh, it was my negligence, please don't blame me. In that case, come with me, I will take you there!" After saying that, Ling Xiao straightened his back, took big strides, and led the group of people towards the gate of Prince Zhan's Mansion.
Their seemingly secretive but actually full of flaws, every move they made could not escape Mu Sixiu's eagle-like sharp eyes. In fact, long before, Mu Sixiu had already noticed that this group of suspicious people had been hiding and sneaking around here for more than half a day.
However, he was not in a hurry to alert the enemy, but kept his troops in place, wanting to wait and see what these guys were up to.
Their behavior of gathering together seemed increasingly strange, as if they were plotting some unspeakable secret. Mu Sixiu couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, and clenched his fists tightly, only to hear a series of "crackling" sounds, and his joints were crackling.
In broad daylight, how dare someone come to my Zhan Wang Mansion to cause trouble? This commander wants to have a good fight with you and see what you are capable of!
At the same time, the guards hiding in the dark were also concentrating on watching Mu Sixiu's movements. As long as Mu Sixiu made a gesture, they would be able to strike with lightning speed in an instant and capture these uninvited guests with unknown identities and ill intentions in one fell swoop!
"Excuse me......"
"Stop, don't move!"
Ling Xiao just opened his mouth to say something, but before he could finish his words, a sharp rebuke suddenly rang out. This voice was like thunder exploding in his ears, causing his heart to tremble violently.
In an instant, a group of fully armed guards appeared from nowhere in the empty area. These guards moved as fast as ghosts and surrounded Ling Xiao and others in the blink of an eye.
They all held strong bows and crossbows, with the bowstrings taut and the arrows flashing cold light, as if they would fly out at any time and shoot the people in front of them into a hornet's nest.
Although the prince and the imperial master were not here at the moment, the reputation of the prince's mansion and the imperial master's mansion was not something that anyone could easily offend. Every inch of land and every breath of air here seemed to be filled with an invisible pressure that made people dare not despise or slack off in the slightest.
"Squat on the ground!" As another command sounded, Mu Sixu flashed and jumped down like an agile cheetah.
After landing, he stood steadily, his sharp eyes staring at the leader Ling Xiao like a hawk, his scrutinizing gaze seemed to see through the other person completely.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, leader." Ling Xiao walked forward with a smile.
"Swoosh!" A sharp sword was instantly placed on his neck, causing Ling Xiao to stop. He was not angry, but still looked amiable.
"What's going on? Does the prince want to kill us to silence us?" Qiangzi couldn't help but say something at this time.
"What are you talking about? It's all misunderstanding." Ling Xiao corrected hurriedly. Although the sword was on his neck, he did not feel afraid at all.
"Leader, please take a look at the letter in my hand first." Ling Xiao said as he took out the letter and handed it to Mu Sixiu with full sincerity.
Seeing this, Mu Sixiu put away the sword in his hand, took the letter, opened it and looked at it. He frowned and immediately ordered:
"Come here, arrest these bandits and put them in jail!"
