Chapter 61 - Peeping
"From today onwards, the three of you will live together with me in this Dry Clear Palace!" Zhao Chen looked at Yue Fei and the other two, and laughed.
"Your Highness, we are guards, we have our own residence!" Yue Fei said.
"You two still live with me … Although this palace appeared to be safe on the surface, it was actually filled with countless dangers! Right now, we are under Zhe Keqiu's control, no one knows what will happen in the future! With you all here, I can be at ease! " Zhao Chen said.
Yue Fei and Wang Gui looked at each other, Yue Fei nodded, and said: "Since that's the case, we will listen to Your Highness! I think it's better if the three of us guard His Highness from day to night! With the three of us here, it would be impossible for others to harm His Highness! "
Zhao Chen laughed: "That's for the best!"
Yue Fei said: "Your Highness, you must be tired from the bumpy journey, right now you should go rest first!"
Zhao Chen nodded, he was truly tired! No matter what, he was currently only eleven years old. Although he had been practicing martial arts the entire time, his body had never grown. This long journey had consumed a lot of his energy!
He immediately instructed the guards to fetch some water and washed up before heading to his own bedroom!
He first examined the palace curiously. This place was completely different from the palace in the East Palace; it was not as luxurious as the palace in the past. The furnishings here could only be considered ordinary! Of course, for most people, this place was quite luxurious!
"From now on, I will be living here. It could be one year, or it could be even longer! Currently, Zhe Keqiu is my biggest enemy, how to deal with him, I don't even have much of an idea! Endure, just patience, was out of the question! Before the opportunity presented itself, it was impossible to not have the strength! Looks like I have to discuss this with teacher and come up with a concrete plan! " Zhao Chen sat cross legged on the bed, thinking.
After a while, he gently closed his eyes and circulated his inner force within his body.
After a moment, he opened his eyes, and they were filled with astonishment.
"What's going on? Ever since I left Kaifeng, I have barely lived a few days in peace. I have almost never painstakingly trained in it, so why did my internal force actually increase? " Zhao Chen was in disbelief.
Cultivation was like moving against the current. Before one reached the Xiantian Realm, it was better to retreat if one did not advance! After he left Kaifeng, it had already been a few months. In these few months, he rarely practiced inner force skills and thought that his inner force skills would not increase! Who knew that when he checked earlier, he discovered that his inner force had almost doubled, and was now on the verge of entering the fifth floor of the Emperor's Heavenly Arts!
"What's going on? Could it be because of the Emperor's Heavenly Arts? Impossible! Unless one entered into the Upper Sky Realm, his internal force could circulate by itself and flow unceasingly … Before becoming a [Innate], even if such a miraculous technique as the Emperor's Heavenly Arts was allowed to exist, it would also be impossible for it to continue circulating on its own! Is it because I took some medicine to increase my inner force? But there isn't one either! " Zhao Chen was extremely shocked in his heart!
Originally, he was already tired and prepared to rest, but now, he was filled with curiosity. He wasn't sleepy at all!
"I'd like to see what's going on." Zhao Chen secretly thought.
He sat there, thinking and examining! After a while, his gaze suddenly fell onto the clothes on his body!
His personal clothes were the exact "Ape Cloak" that he had brought out from the Imperial Palace. This Ape Cloak was impervious to swords and spears, so he had been wearing it the entire time! At this moment, when he was training his internal energy, the ape clothes also emitted a faint heat. This heat entered into his body!
"That's right! It must be because of this ape robe! How could the thing that Chen Te gave to Emperor Taizu back then be ordinary? It turned out that besides being invulnerable to swords and spears, this set of clothes could also assist in the cultivation of internal energy! This is great! " Zhao Chen's face revealed an excited expression!
However, he was tired after all. After cultivating for two hours, he finally laid down to rest.
In the middle of the night, Zhao Chen was already fast asleep, but right at this moment, a berating voice came from outside!
Zhao Chen stood up, donned his clothes, and walked out!
Yue Fei was standing outside, he asked: "Big Brother Yue, what happened?"
Yue Fei said: "Your Highness, just now, there were a few soldiers from the Home Breaker who came to spy on us. I discovered them, so I scolded them to leave!"
Zhao Chen nodded his head, a strange expression on his face, and said: "The few of us are staying in Dry Clear Palace, Home Breaker Soldiers is very clear about this place, why would we want to spy on this place at night?"
Zhao Chen's face revealed a smile, and said: "There's no need for that! They must have received Zhe Keqiu's orders, to always pay attention to the few of us, so they went out of their way! "Ignore it!"
Yue Fei nodded, his thoughts were the same as Zhao Chen, he thought that Zhe Keqiu would send people to keep an eye on their movements! At that moment, since Zhao Chen did not pursue the matter, he would not say anything else!
"Big Brother Yue, there are two thousand Home Breaker Soldiers s in the Han Palace, so there's temporarily no danger. Why don't you go rest first?" Seeing that Yue Fei's clothes were tidy and tidy, Zhao Chen knew that Yue Fei had definitely been guarding here all night, and immediately asked.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness!" However, my brother, my brother, and I have already discussed this with each other. I will guard your highness at night, my brother will guard in the morning, and my third brother will guard in the afternoon. "Now is my duty, not the time to rest!" Yue Fei said.
Zhao Chen shook his head, he knew that Yue Fei was a stubborn man, and now, even if he ordered Yue Fei to rest, he was afraid that Yue Fei would not agree! Without any more persuasion, he turned around and entered his bedroom to rest!
Tomorrow morning, he would still need to discuss about ascension with Li Gang, Li Ruoshui, Zhe Keqiu and the others. Only after a good rest would he have sufficient mental fortitude to deal with Zhe Keqiu!
When Zhao Chen returned to his room, Yue Fei was still standing guard at the door, not mentioning anything else!
This night, no other Home Breaker Soldiers came to spy on them!
Zhao Chen and Yue Fei only thought that the soldiers who were spying on them yesterday were Zhe Keqiu's subordinates, so they were not on guard.
After the few Home Breaker Soldiers s who had spied on Zhao Chen and Yue Fei last night left the palace, they did not return to the camp, but instead headed towards the north side of the Hanzhong City.
At the beginning, they were still walking on the road, but gradually, they turned into an alleyway!
The more they passed through the alleyway, the more remote they became! As they walked, they cautiously looked behind them to confirm that no one was following them!
They arrived at the entrance of a small courtyard!
The leader of the soldiers knocked on the door. A moment later, the door opened and a white-haired old man appeared before them! This old man was dressed like a servant, but his eyes were gleaming; he was actually a martial artist!
"Greetings, Manager!" The soldiers all kneeled on the ground and said respectfully.
"Get up! Sect Master is waiting for you inside! " The old man looked around to make sure that no one was following him before replying.
The soldiers stood up and the old man led them deeper into the courtyard.
In the depths of the small courtyard was a row of bamboo houses. After arriving, the old man stopped and pointed at the bamboo house in the middle. "You guys can go in yourselves!"
A few soldiers entered the bamboo house in the middle. At that moment, a middle-aged man was standing inside the bamboo house!
This person was dressed in scholarly robes and had his back facing the soldiers. He indifferently asked, "How is your investigation going?"
Several soldiers had already knelt down. One of them said, "Sovereign, we have investigated all the arrangements in the Han Palace and are about to report it to the Sovereign!"
The scholarly middle-aged man nodded and said, "Quickly say it!"
The soldiers began to talk slowly, their words were extremely detailed! How many Home Breaker Soldiers s there were in the Han Palace, where they had arranged them, and when they were going to change their defenses were all clearly stated! The rules of the Home Breaker Soldiers were extremely poor and they often slacked off on missions. However, this time, the elites that were arranged in the Han Palace were all different!
After a long time, the middle-aged man waved his hand: "You may leave first!" I will remember your contributions. I will not forget you! "
Several Home Breaker Soldiers s revealed an ecstatic expression and said, "Many thanks Sect Master!"
The few Home Breaker Soldiers s said their goodbyes and the scholarly middle-aged man was still standing there. He looked out the window, and after a long while, he suddenly spoke out loud: "Infernal Queen is here, why don't you show yourself?"
