Chapter 84: Sneaking into the Palace at Night and Stealing the Key
The backyard of the palace.

Xiang Yu and Fan Wujiu have fought for hundreds of rounds, but it is still difficult to determine the winner.

One of them held a gun and the other wielded a knife, fully demonstrating their strength in the yard.

Li Chengze cracked melon seeds and ate the peanuts peeled by Xiaotao, and nodded with great satisfaction.

I have to say, watching these two ninth-grade masters fighting is really a feast for the eyes.

Each move is full of power, making people dazzled.

Moreover, this is just a brief introduction. If it were a real life-and-death battle, the power would probably be even greater.

Especially Xiang Yu, he was the type who became stronger as he fought more battles.

After all, the title of King of Western Chu was not given for nothing.

Just as Li Chengze was watching the fight, Li Chungang beside him couldn't help but shook his head.

After seeing this, Li Chengze asked, "What's wrong, Li Jianshen?"

"You think their fighting ability is not good enough?"

Li Chungang nodded and said, "It's OK."

"If you practice for a few more decades, you can barely catch up with me."

amount……

Well, you are the Sword Master, everything you said is right!

Li Chengze laughed and ignored Li Chungang, but continued to look forward.

"boom!"

A rockery in the yard was hit by the Overlord Gun and exploded into pieces in an instant.

Xiang Yu saw Fan Wujiu dodge his attack and couldn't help but laugh: "His speed and reaction are quite fast, but his strength is not good enough."

"It seems that I need to practice more."

Fan Wujiu laughed disdainfully and said, "You are just a boaster. We don't know who will win or lose!"

As he spoke, he immediately swung the long sword in his hand and slashed towards Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu slightly moved his body to the side to avoid the oncoming knife shadow.

"boom!"

Fan Wujiu's long sword fell, cutting a crack in the ground and causing layers of dust and smoke to rise.

"Ha." Xiang Yu waved the Overlord Spear in his hand and said with a smile: "Interesting!"

As he was talking, he started fighting fiercely with Fan Wujiu.

at this time.

Jia Xu, dressed in a green Taoist robe and holding a white feather fan, walked slowly towards them from not far away.

"Lord!"

When Li Chengze saw Jia Xu, he immediately waved to him and said, "Wenhe, come here quickly."

"Such a wonderful fight is not easy to see."

Jia Xu came to Li Chengze and said, "My lord, there is news from Danzhou."

Danzhou?

Upon hearing the word "Danzhou", Li Chengze immediately became serious and asked:

"what news?"

Jia Xu said: "Danzhou claims that the young man named 'Fan Xian' has left Danzhou and is heading to Kyoto."

"In three days at the latest, we will arrive in Kyoto City."

After hearing what Jia Xu said, Li Chengze immediately stood up from the stool, began to stroke his chin, and began to ponder on the spot.

Fan Xian indeed arrived in Beijing early.

This means that many of the plots in the original novel have also begun to unfold.

However, this is also what Li Chengze wants.

Since Fan Xian has come to Kyoto, I can talk to him about the arranged marriage with Wan'er.

There is another important point.

Li Chengze almost forgot before that there was something very important stored in the palace for Fan Xian.

That is the key that Ye Qingmei had left behind.

It is also the key to the box containing the Bamret heavy sniper rifle in Fan Xian's hand.

When Fan Xian arrives in Kyoto in the future, he will definitely find a way to find the key and open the box. If that is the case.

If he could get the key before Fan Xian came to Kyoto, he would be able to take the initiative.

Li Chengze thought of this and nodded silently.

Without further ado, he sneaked into the palace tonight to look for the key.

Li Chengze remembered that in the original book, the key was in the secret compartment under the bed in the Queen Mother's bedroom.

Afterwards, Li Chengze said to Jia Xu, "Wenhe, go and make the arrangements."

"Tonight, I will lead people to sneak into the palace and steal something."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Jia Xu nodded in agreement.

He didn't care why his lord entered the palace or what he wanted to steal.

Only responsible for arranging tasks for the main bus agent.

After Jia Xu left, the one-armed old man beside him said to Li Chengze:

"Your Highness, if you want to steal something from the palace, you need me to accompany you."

Li Chengze waved his hand and said, "No, I have my own arrangements."

Now is not the time for Li Chungang to reveal his identity.

Moreover, once this grandmaster takes action and Emperor Qing finds out, things will become very troublesome.

By then, several other grand masters will also come.

Afterwards, Li Chengze sat on the stool again and continued to watch the battle between Xiang Yu and Fan Wujiu.

……

at the same time.

A horse-drawn carriage was galloping forward on the broad official road.

In the carriage, Fan Xian and Wu Zhu sat face to face.

At this moment, in Fan Xian's arms, he was holding a black leather suitcase, which was about the length of an adult's arm and very long and slender.

Fan Xian looked at the lock on the box, pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle, are you sure you don't know what's inside?"

Wu Zhu said expressionlessly, "I don't know."

"This is what the young lady left behind. She didn't tell me."

Fan Xian sighed helplessly and said, "Okay then."

"It seems that only by finding the key can we know what is inside."

The night before yesterday, when Fan Xian was about to leave Danzhou, Wu Zhu found such a box in the secret room and handed it to him.

However, the appearance of this box is very solid, and it cannot be opened by using external force alone.

Even if a dagger was scratched on it, it would not leave any mark.

Therefore, he could only wait until he went to Kyoto City and found the key before he could open the box.

However, Fan Xian could feel that the things in this box were definitely not ordinary.

Thinking of this, Fan Xian put the box aside and leaned back in the carriage to sleep.

Anyway, it will take several days to get to Kyoto, so I can only kill time by sleeping.

If only there were trains and planes.

By then, it won’t take so long to travel from Danzhou to Kyoto.

……

Time flows like water, passing in the blink of an eye.

Soon, it was late at night.

Li Chengze changed into night clothes and put on a black mask on his face. He left the palace with Xiang Yu, Li Cunxiao, Fan Wujiu and Xie Bian.

After they came out of the palace, they ran all the way on the street towards the imperial palace.

Soon, the five of them arrived outside the palace wall.

Li Chengze said to Li Cunxiao and Xie Bian, "You two, stay here to provide support while the three of us go in."

"If we get caught later, you must go back and find people right away. Don't act recklessly!"

Li Cunxiao and Xie Bian nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. We will do as you say."

"Okay." Li Chengze waved to Xiang Yu and Fan Wujiu and said, "Let's go!"
