The next day, in the morning, Xiao Min went to the tavern to look for Tang Yin. At the same time, she brought a big bag with him.
"Xiao Min said to Tang Yin:" "Try putting these on and see if it fits." Tang Yin casually picked up the helmet, and looked at it from the front and back. To be honest, the armor of the palace guards were not as exquisite as the armor worn by ordinary Ann Country soldiers, but compared to the leather armor worn by the Feng Country, it was much stronger. He nodded, then smiled as he looked at Xiao Min without saying a word.
"Why are you staring at me instead?" Seeing Tang Yin staring at his, he immediately let out a sound of dissatisfaction. He paused for a moment, then realised that Tang Yin was waiting for his to leave. Even though she said that, she still quickly walked out of Tang Yin's room.
After Xiao Min left, Tang Yin took off her casual clothes and changed into the palace guard's uniform. Most of the military uniforms were made of silk, and some of them were made of brocade. After Tang Yin was dressed, she looked down and nodded her head. Xiao Min's eyesight was not bad, and the military uniform she brought also fit him well. Afterwards, Le Tian and Jiang Fan both went up to put on the helmet, breastplate, shoulder guards, knee guards and all sorts of miniscule armor. At the same time, Le Tian frowned and said: "Master, Xiao Min has only brought a set of armor and a set of military uniform. Tang Yin smiled indifferently, and said: "This time, you all do not need to follow me. The Imperial Palace is sealed and heavily guarded, if there are a lot of people going, it will be easy to be exposed." "But …" Le Tian and Jiang Fan were really relieved to have Tang Yin head to the imperial palace alone. If even the slightest inkling of her intentions was discovered by others, they would have no one who would be able to take care of them then.
Seeing Le Tian and Jiang Fan's worry, Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders and said calmly, "Don't worry, it will be fine. Even if an accident happens, I really can't beat them, so I can still run away." Hearing him say that, Le Tian and Jiang Fan looked at each other; their brows were still tightly knitted, but they did not speak anymore. The two of them were very confident in Tang Yin's capabilities, but the experts within the forbidden grounds of the imperial palace could not be underestimated.
After dressing his armor properly, Tang Yin took his sword from the table and hung it on his waist. Then, he straightened his body and smiled at Le Tian, Jiang Fan and Jiang Lou. Do I look like I want the palace guards? " Before Le Tian and Jiang Fan could speak, Jiang Lou had already smiled and said, "Master's grace is peerless, no matter who wears this set of armor, no master will wear it!" "Hehe!" Tang Yin chuckled, turned and walked to the door, opened the door, and said to Xiao Min who was waiting outside: "Xiao Min, I've made you wait for a long time." Hearing the voice, Xiao Min, who was standing with her back facing the door, hurriedly turned around. Seeing Tang Yin, who was dressed in his military uniform, his eyes lit up. Although he was not considered tall and sturdy, but instead somewhat thin, he did not give off a sickly and sickly feeling. Adding that to his handsome appearance and the majestic military uniform he wore, his sinister aura seemed to have weakened a lot, which made him look a bit more manly and majestic.
No wonder the princess couldn't forget about Tang Yin. He really is a man who can make a woman's heart beat with just a single glance. Besides, the princess has never seen many men in her life." Xiao Min sighed inwardly. She had a good impression of Tang Yin, but this was only a good impression of a friend, not a relationship between a man and a woman.
She raised her head, smiled at Tang Yin, and praised: "This military uniform is very fitting, and very suitable for you!" "Thank you." Tang Yin nodded in thanks. Even if it was to thank Xiao Min's praise, it was to thank her for taking such a risk to help him.
Xiao Min understood what he meant, her smile disappeared as she faintly said: "I'll help you … …" "Actually, the main reason is to help the princess..." After a pause, she took a deep breath, cheered herself up, and said, "It's getting late, we should get going." "Wait a minute." Tang Yin waved goodbye to her, then returned to her room. She told Le Tian, Jiang Fan, and Jiang Lou, "While I'm gone, don't go anywhere else in the inn. The current capital is filled with danger." Yue Tian, Jiang Fan, and Jiang Lou naturally understood what Tang Yin meant. Just yesterday, when Tang Yin had arrived at the tavern, there was a mysterious Spirit Cultivator of Dark that had been following him and eavesdropping outside.
The three of them bowed in acknowledgement, then simultaneously said in unison, "Master, you have to be careful." "Yes!" Tang Yin replied and did not delay any further. He gave a few more simple instructions and followed Xiao Min out of the inn.
Xiao Min came here on horseback, Tang Yin also had his own horse, the two of them mounted his horse and rushed to the center of the city, where the Heavenly Zephyr Mountain was located.
The Imperial Palace, where the Heavenly Son of the Haotian Empire resided, was also the true core of the entire country. The weakening of the imperial power did not affect the majesty and majesty of the imperial palace. The closer one was to the imperial palace, the more shock they would feel from the bottom of their heart. The palace was built around a mountain and had a total of five floors. Looking from afar, the densely packed and magnificent palaces seemed as if they wanted to wrap around the entire Skypiercing Mountain, including countless tall towers and pavilions, even though it was called a palace, it actually seemed more like an independent and huge castle. It was hard to imagine how much manpower and money such a vast project would have to spend, and it was hard to imagine that it was a product from thousands of years ago.
From this, it could be seen how prosperous and prosperous Haotian Empire was during its initial construction.
Xiao Min had brought Tang Yin to the Western Palace through the main entrance, but even so, the huge and wide entrance was still enough to make people speechless. Tang Yin raised his head and looked around. He estimated the palace gate to be at least three meters tall and at least six or seven meters wide, and on both sides of the palace gate was a towering stone pillar that was as high as the clouds. It was pure white like jade, and on it, there were fine carvings of flying phoenixes, coiling dragons, qilins, and other auspicious divine beasts and totems. On the left and right of them were the palace guards. Tang Yin did not know exactly how many guards were standing guard at the entrance of the palace, but when he raised his eyes, he could see a dense and packed area.
The grandeur of the palace was indeed incomparable to that of the other places! Tang Yin followed Xiao Min inwards, while secretly nodding his head in praise.
Just as they reached the entrance, the guards on both sides immediately stepped forward and looked at Xiao Min and Tang Yin from head to toe. Then, they bowed in unison and said respectfully, "General Xiao!" Xiao Min was Yin Rou's Guard Captain, so even though she was a trusted aide and held important positions, she would frequently enter and leave the imperial palace. Naturally, the imperial guards who were in charge of guarding the gates all recognized her.
Xiao Min had long been accustomed to their respectful attitude. She sat on the horse and only waved her hands a little, without saying much, and did not introduce Tang Yin to the guards either. She immediately urged the horse to go past the crowd and enter the palace.
Tang Yin followed closely behind Xiao Min, and entered the palace.
As he was wearing the armor of the imperial palace guards and had also followed Xiao Min here, even though the guards guarding the palace door didn't recognize him, they all moved to the side to allow him entry.
followed Xiao Min and walked a long distance, but they did not see any tiles that had the same pattern on the ground.
This place was still filled with guards, one by one, and there were also many patrolling guards. Groups of guards could be seen moving across the square from time to time.
They crossed the square and walked through a long, wide corridor. Before them was an endless flight of stairs.
Xiao Min turned her head and gave Tang Yin a look. Then, she jumped off the horse, and the latter followed suit, floating down from the horse.
At this time, two guards rushed forward and pulled the reins of the horse to the side.
Xiao Min led Tang Yin up the stairs as she said softly, "The palace has five floors. We just walked through the first floor, and there is the Tai An Treasure Hall to the south. That is where the Son of Heaven and the ministers meet." Tang Yin nodded in understanding, he had only been through the first level of the imperial palace, and had already walked for a long time. If he built the imperial palace at the top of the mountain, every day, he would tire the ministers and make them vomit blood. Tang Yin casually asked: "How many palaces are there in the palace? "It seems like there are quite a few people out there." "There were a total of five hundred palaces. As for the ordinary pavilions, I don't know. They should be in the thousands!" Xiao Min replied casually.
Tang Yin was speechless, with five hundred palaces and thousands of pavilions, how many royalty could they possibly hold? Even if it was just hoarding soldiers, they could hold hundreds of thousands of people. It was no wonder that the imperial power of the Haotian Empire had fallen into the hands of the various dukes.
He no longer asked about the layout of the palace. He changed the subject and said, "I presume you have already told the princess that I will be entering the palace today?" Xiao Min turned her head to look at him in shock and laughed: "How did you know?" "I think that if Your Highness doesn't agree, even if you have the guts, you still won't dare to bring me in without permission. Moreover, you still have to see the princess." "You're pretty smart!" "Hehe!" Tang Yin could not help but laugh, and asked half-jokingly: "Don't tell me I look like an idiot?" Xiao Min was teased by him to the point that she lightly chuckled, and did not say a word.
He finally reached the end of the stairs and passed through a wide plaza and a long passageway. The stairs appeared again in front of him. It seemed like this flight of stairs was not much shorter than the previous one. Tang Yin laughed bitterly and sighed, then asked: "Are we going to the third floor of the palace?" "That's right." "Excuse me, what floor of the palace does your highness live on?" "Of course, it's the top-level!" At the same time, he turned around and rolled his eyes at Tang Yin, as if blaming him for asking such a useless question.
Tang Yin shook his head and laughed: "Does your highness always have to walk this far to leave the palace and enter the palace?" "You can rest assured that if the princess really wants to go into the palace, someone will bring her in a sedan. However, the princess doesn't usually leave the palace."
