Chapter 722 Wanchun Garden

There are stone steps below the entrance of the cave, which extend all the way down. After Su Ziji jumped down, he pressed on the stone wall in the cave, and the opened cave door quickly closed again.

This is a secret passage that existed in the previous dynasty. It is estimated that even the person who took over this house did not know about it. Su Ziji also discovered the secret here by accident, and it can be used now.

The secret road is not far, that is, more than 100 meters, just enough to bypass the people who are monitoring the movement of the Duke of Dai's mansion outside, and come out from a small courtyard on a street outside.

Even the current owner of the small courtyard doesn't know about the secret passage. Su Ziji didn't need to light a torch, and walked in the dark, and soon came to the end. Before he reached the end, he could already smell a damp smell. Walking to the end, he pressed the mechanism again with his hand, and the closed stone door slowly opened, and Su Ziji looked out through the hole.

This exit is located in a deep well in a small courtyard on the street outside. It is located on the wall of the well, about five or six meters away from the wellhead and about ten meters away from the well. This is a deep well.

Because the rope for fetching water was hanging down, for someone like Su Ziji, who was considered an expert, it was extremely easy to go up from below, and he jumped out of the wellhead quickly by climbing the rope.

Everyone in the small courtyard was asleep, and Su Ziji's appearance and departure were all silent.

He is like a cat, running lightly on the roof. This lightness is different from the legendary lightness kung fu. You can feel it when you taste it carefully. place.

This feeling has only become more and more obvious in the past few months. Before that, although Su Ziji was considered a master because he practiced the Panlong mentality and obtained swordsmanship and Taoism from others, he had never experienced such a thing. Comfortable feeling.

Instead of being happy about it, he became worried.

"It's scary, now not only martial arts, but also Taoism has become stronger, not just me, I'm afraid it's the same for others. If things go on like this, although it is an opportunity for some people, it will also widen the distance from ordinary people. "

If they are separated from each other, that's okay, but if they live together, once the strength is getting farther and farther, people who can gradually move mountains and seas, can they still be convinced to be under the jurisdiction of the government?

Once the government is weak, it will be suppressed.

This is something that Su Ziji would worry about when he looked at it as a person in power. However, it is too early to say these things. Su Ziji suppressed this worry, and only slowly felt the pleasure of "walking against the wind" .

"This little technique is also very powerful."

It almost merged with the night, although there were several groups of patrolling officers and soldiers on the road, they were unaware that Su Ziji passed by Yufeng.

Gradually, the number of buildings gradually decreased. At the end, even the houses of the rich and powerful could hardly be seen, and a building that seemed to be a miniature version of the imperial palace appeared in front of it.

Towering and majestic, it can be seen from the high red wall that this is not a place where ordinary people can live.

Su Ziji floated on the high wall, and looked down, only to see the main hall hidden among juniper pines and cypresses, with pavilions, terraces, pavilions and galleries, with a faint appearance of lush greenery and cages. Several guards patrolled, But secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"It's not strict, but it's normal."

"After all, it's just a royal garden. Unless the emperor brings the harem to live in, usually there is basically no master here, and the guards will naturally not be too nervous."

There are always laymen who think that people are machines, and they are on guard 24 hours a day. In fact, this kind of high-level security is either forced to support in the face of major events, or it is just two-hour shifts, so as to ensure sufficient physical strength and vigilance.

Although Wanchun Garden is an imperial courtyard, it is impossible for the emperor to have the manpower to take shifts every two hours.

Su Ziji flew lightly, avoided the guards, chose a remote path, and soon sneaked into the depths of Wanchun Garden.

"I don't know where the medicine is stored." Su Ziji searched around but failed, so he could only squat on a big tree with lush branches, rest on it, and scan his surroundings.

This is Su Ziji's misconception, thinking that Wanchun Garden is the same as the mansions of ordinary officials' yamen, and he can find important things according to the purpose of the house.

After all, even if it is the palace, the layout is fixed, and the important locations are also fixed, but this is the royal garden, there are hundreds of houses alone, and the entire garden has a huge area. Because there is no master to live in, it has not been subdivided for the time being. Which room is used for what? , how can I find this?

"Really, your residence is cleaned every day, please rest assured, it must be clean..."

Just when Su Ziji was depressed, he suddenly heard a voice coming from a distance, his ears moved slightly, and he jumped a few times to the place where the speaker was, squatting on the roof and looking down .

On the dark road, there were only a few lanterns slowly moving over from not far away. The people who were led by a eunuch had expressionless faces and cold eyes, and even if they were flattered by the eunuch of Wanchun Garden, they would not How to say nothing, just walk forward quietly.

This is an old acquaintance, Huo Wuyong!

"Sure enough, Huo Wuyong moved after I went to ask for advice." Seeing the Taoist boys following Huo Wuyong with their bags on their backs, Su Ziji was a little speechless.

But speechless is speechless, the appearance of Huo Wuyong did solve Su Ziji's problem.

"He is a Taoist priest who concocted alchemy for the emperor in the Royal Garden. I couldn't find the location of the medicine store by myself. If I follow him, it will be easy to find it!" Su Ziji quietly followed after an idea.

Neither Huo Wuyong nor others were aware of this.

Huo Wuyong asked Dao Tong to put his luggage in the residence, and then said to the eunuch: "This palace, no one else is allowed to approach, I will ask Dao Tong to find you if something happens."

"If I break in without permission and the medicine's properties are damaged, I can only report to the emperor."

"Slaves know the rules, how dare they?" The eunuch responded repeatedly: "If there is such a person who doesn't know the rules, he would have been beaten to death long ago, and it's not his turn to come here."

Su Ziji listened in the dark, and thought to himself: "Looking at Huo Wuyong's reaction, the medicine may be in this palace, but there are so many rooms in this palace alone, it's unrealistic to search for it one by one. , I wonder if Huo Wuyong can give me another clue, let me know the specific location of the medicine store?"

Thinking of this, Su Ziji hid in the dark, only staring at Huo Wuyong.

Huo Wuyong first took a few Taoist boys to the alchemy room to have a look, and said to one of the Taoist boys, "The fire in this alchemy furnace has been extinguished, first refine a furnace of Rejuvenation Pill to warm up the alchemy furnace, you go to the basement, Bring the materials needed for the Rejuvenation Pill."

"Yes!"

Rejuvenation Pill is a kind of elixir for nourishing blood and Qi, especially useful for women. It is much simpler than Xiao Huan Pill. The Daotong who was ordered to get up immediately, but just walked to the door, and was stopped by Huo Wuyong.

"Forget it, stay here, I'll go and have a look."

Huo Wuyong was a little irritable, after thinking about it, it's better to go there by himself.

I haven't checked the medicine store today, if something goes wrong, it will be a big deal.

He asked Dao Tong to wait in the alchemy room, and walked out by himself, but he didn't notice that a black shadow followed quietly.

Along the very tortuous road, he walked to the hidden basement of the palace. Just as he was about to go down the steps, Huo Wuyong suddenly stopped and looked behind.
