With good luck, Gou practiced in the harem

Chapter 9 9. Catch the lake and continue to squeeze (fourth update-please collect)
The morning light of the Yujing City falls on the Imperial Palace and the Moon Shadow Palace in the harem.
The emperor was seriously ill, the empress was in power, the prince seized the throne, and an unknown force took away the third prince, leaving behind him who was used to escape the shell.
Faced with such a situation, Xia Yan's thoughts are
leave!

After he has completed his exercises and lightness kung fu, he will leave the palace.

Although the customs clearance document is a problem, he has also understood that the current world is a bit chaotic, and the management is not so strict. If you give some money and go out with the caravan, maybe it will be done.

However, his face was a problem. Ordinary people might not know the Third Prince, but there would always be someone among the city gate guards who knew him.

So, it's not always safe.

So, for him, the best time to escape is Winter Hunting.

Dongshou, if the prince wants to compete with him, the queen will definitely let him go, because the prince needs to suppress him, but the queen also needs him to surpass the prince, so the prince is incompetent, and it is justified.

At the end of next month, the winter hunt before the new year is the most intense moment in the center of the vortex, and it is also his best chance to escape.

The third prince, the crown prince, the empress, and the people behind the scenes like to do whatever they want, Xia Yan will not get involved.

At that time, with a fast horse and some silver, he will be like a bird out of the cage, able to go anywhere.

But if he can't escape, then he will be drawn into the center of the most terrifying vortex.

"I'm running out of time"

Xia Yan lowered his expression slightly, and clenched his fists. In his arms, there was a mighty airflow rushing endlessly. These breaths lingered between the twelve veins in his body, and he was eager to try to break out of the pores in his body, turning them into a crisscross body. Qi sword.

It's a pity that there is no way to use it.

Only this top-flowing true energy can flow freely in the body.

"Keep practicing!"

"In addition to practicing true qi, practice this lightness kung fu, hidden weapon!"

After thinking about it, Xia Yan took the stones in the courtyard and a pen on the table, and continued to practice the hidden weapon technique of [Flying Swallows Returning to the Forest].

After two incense sticks, he paused and rested for a while, and then began to practice [Toad Palace Stealing Incense Step].

Time passed minute by minute.

Before I knew it, twilight had arrived.

It was not Shuang Hua who came to deliver food today, but another court lady named Han Qin.

Like Shuang Hua, Han Qin couldn't resist the luck of "Peach Blossom I", so she had a natural liking for Xia Yan, and felt that such a handsome Highness didn't look like a bad person.

She is also very willing to chirp in front of the kind Highness, and tell her what she has seen and heard during the day when His Highness is eating.

"Your Highness, it's so strange recently that the water in Taiye Lake has suddenly decreased a lot. Going to fetch water today and doing laundry is a lot of trouble."

"A few days ago, no one paid attention to it, but today it is very obvious. Why is that?"

"Taiye Lake is not connected to the moat, it is the lake in the palace.
But according to the maids in other palaces, she heard about it from the guards who were good friends with the eunuch next door.

The guard said that he heard the words of the water supervisor during the inspection.

The water supervisor suspects that there is a connection between Taiye Lake and Hucheng River, which is why the water in Taiye Lake has dropped. They have already sent people to investigate. "

While talking happily, Han Qin quietly looked at His Highness's side face.

It's not that there have been stories in this palace where maids of honor were favored by nobles and then taken as concubines.

She felt that His Highness was not only handsome and elegant, but also had a good temper.

If she can also become a lucky maid, even if...even if she has no status, even if it is just a one-night rain and dew, it seems very good.

The maid Hanqin's cheeks flushed slightly, and she happily continued to gossip about the palace.

Xia Yan didn't care about other gossip, but the matter about Taiye Lake caught his ears.

He paused for a moment, and said in his heart: It seems that the Taiye Lake matter has been paid attention to. After nightfall, I have to be more careful.

After a while, dinner was used up.

Han Qin walked out of the palace gate with the dinner plate in hand.

Xia Yan glanced at the progress of [Toad Palace Stealing Fragrance Step] again, and couldn't help letting out a soft sigh.

"too slow"

"I also know that haste makes waste, and I also know that exercises are not so easy to practice, but I don't have much time."

"What should I do?"

The night is getting darker.

Three watch days.
The palace was silent.

Xia Yan got up from the bed and put on the night gray clothes that he had prepared, although the clothes and pants were wet and it was winter again.

But Xia Yan doesn't feel cold when wearing it on his body, this is the benefit of his true energy.

Not to mention wearing thin wet clothes in winter, even if he took off all his clothes and then lay in the ice and snow, he would not be frozen to death, even after lying for a long time, his hands and feet were still warm.

Putting on his gray clothes, he came to the window of the Moon Shadow Palace Harem and began to listen.

After his zhenqi reached the peak level, his audio-visual ability was greatly improved, even he could hear an insect crawling under a tree outside the palace.

After confirming that no one was there, he pushed the window, went out, closed the window softly, and then, like a little leopard hunting in the middle of the night, flew swiftly and bowed to the Taiye Lake, and then turned down, with his hands in the lake. With a light touch on the wall, it dived into the water without a sound.

He sank slowly, and after two meters into the water, he grabbed the copper ring of the tiger's head on the lake wall with both hands to stabilize his body while controlling his ascent to take a breath.

Tonight, he decided to keep devouring the lake.

As for why not eat soil
It's very simple, because the soil is extremely difficult to swallow, and he needs to eat the soil in order to transform. At that time, not only will he suffer, but the efficiency will be low, and it will not be worth it.

Xia Yan raised his head, opened his mouth, and at the same time exchanged the water in his belly for true energy.

Suddenly, a small hole appeared in the lake, and the surrounding lake water naturally came to fill the hole.

With this cycle going on and on, Xia Yan's efficiency will be extremely high.

2 minutes later
Xia Yan suddenly realized that he didn't need to breathe.

He seems to be able to survive in the water like a fish, grabbing the meager air in the lake.

This is the luck of the reincarnation of the water spirit I, right?

After Xia Yan confirmed, he loosened the tiger head copper ring on the lake wall with both hands, and sank directly to the bottom of the lake.

In this way, the efficiency is higher.

In the deep water of the midnight lake, a figure stood straight at the bottom of the lake with its mouth open. This scene had an indescribably strange feeling.

The pressure at the bottom of the lake is not small, and the viscosity of the water flow makes it difficult to move freely.

Time passed by minute by minute.
The young man at the bottom of the lake became more and more peaceful.

Suddenly, an idea was born in this tranquility.

———Why don’t you practice [Toad Palace Stealing Incense Steps] here? ————

Just do what you say, the boy started to move at the bottom of the lake.

But as soon as he moved, his body was crooked, and his posture was even more crooked, like a lame old man walking.

The young man was not discouraged, he calmed down, circulated his true energy, instilled it in his legs, and started to walk again
One step, two steps, three steps.
Slowly, he walked more and more decently.

an hour later
He can already pick up speed.

What's even more gratifying is that the progress of "[Toad Palace Stealing Fragrance Step]" in the information in front of him is rapidly increasing, dozens of times faster than what he didn't know during the day.

Sure enough, if you want to be as light as a swallow and climb into the sky, you must first learn to wear shackles and practice step by step in the most difficult place.

As much as you pay, you will get as much as you can.
