Escape after crossing

Chapter 177 Entering the Treasury

Chen Ming sat there, thinking quietly. He drank and listened to the conversations of people around him, but time passed by, and he still didn't get any reliable clues. Finally, he decided to get up and leave the bar.

On the way to the Imperial City, Leng Chenming once asked Jiang Ziluo about her specific plans. He was curious to know what kind of arrangements she had made and whether it was time for her to reveal them to him. However, when he first asked these questions, Jiang Ziluo always smiled and avoided them, which made him feel very confused and helpless.

Later, as they got closer and closer to the imperial city, Jiang Ziluo finally revealed her plan to him - she planned to go to the treasury of Lingxi Kingdom and empty out all the silver, money and treasures inside!

Not only that, she even planned to visit Concubine Xiao's parents' home. This idea made him gasp, but at the same time he also admired Jiang Ziluo's boldness and wit.

After all, entering the palace treasury is not an easy task, but for this resourceful woman, it may not be an impossible task.

Her idea of ​​visiting Concubine Xiao's parents' home was even more unexpected, which meant that she would face more challenges and risks.

However, looking at Jiang Ziluo's confident eyes, he knew that she was fully prepared and had a firm determination to achieve her goals.

Leng Chenming took advantage of the daylight and strolled along the street, looking around as he walked. He knew that he had a heavy responsibility and had to remember the location of the palace and the specific location of the Xiao family so that he could find the target quickly when he acted at night and avoid wasting precious time.

Fortunately, Leng Chenming has an excellent sense of direction, which undoubtedly became a major advantage for him to complete the task. In addition, he himself came from the royal family, so he naturally had a certain understanding of the layout and location of the imperial palace and the various government mansions. Therefore, when looking for these places, he did not encounter too much difficulty. kk

He walked slowly along the street, his eyes scanning every street corner and alley. Finally, after careful observation and thinking, Leng Chenming successfully determined the exact location of the palace and the Xiao family.

He stood in the distance, gazing at the magnificent palace and the majestic mansion of the Xiao family, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. Perhaps it was the desire for power, or the worry about the fate of the family, but no matter what kind of emotion it was, it made him more determined.

I only know the general location, but I still have to wait until night to find the specific location! After all, Leng Chenming has no idea what is going on in there.

After figuring out all this, Leng Chenming returned to the inn, took out a pen and paper, and began to draw a simple blueprint. And what about Jiang Ziluo? She was originally a scout...

The two of them lowered their voices and whispered to each other in the room, plotting tonight's plan. Leng Chenming thought he should go and find out the situation first, and then take Jiang Ziluo with him tomorrow night.

However, Jiang Ziluo shook his head and said that he also wanted to participate in tonight's operation. If the target was found, he would take it away directly.

Because they couldn't stay in this place for too long, they had to act quickly. After Leng Chenming pondered for a moment, he felt that what Jiang Ziluo said made a lot of sense.

They only left one day earlier than the Lingxi country's messenger. If they speeded up on the road, they would have at most two or three more days. They really couldn't waste any time, otherwise once they were discovered, it would be difficult for both of them to escape.

After careful consideration and negotiation, they finally reached a consensus. As night fell, Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo changed into black night clothes and quietly left the inn. With their agility and familiarity with the terrain, they successfully avoided the patrolling soldiers and sneaked into the palace.

Jiang Ziluo's Qinggong was not very good, and Leng Chenming had to carry her to fly over the palace wall every time. The last time he held her like this was in the distant Jiangdu City. Time flies, and now when he holds Jiang Ziluo again, he feels that she is lighter than before.

Come to think of it, when has Jiang Ziluo been able to have a peaceful meal these days? She was either on an adventure with everyone or busy treating the wounded. And this time, in order to help herself and the military camp, she traveled day and night for many days in a row.

Leng Chenming's heart was filled with love for Jiang Ziluo, and he secretly made up his mind that after he finished the work at hand, he would supervise her eating well and let her make up for the lost weight.

Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo carefully shuttled through the corridors and courtyards of the palace, looking for the entrance to the treasury. Suddenly, they heard footsteps and quickly hid in the bushes nearby. After the footsteps faded away, they continued to move forward.

The more he walked, the more familiar Leng Chenming felt. The layout of Lingxi Palace was exactly the same as that of Lengli Palace. With this understanding, Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo quickly found the national treasury.

Although the treasury was indeed guarded and locked, if the guards were led away directly, wouldn't it be a case of trying to cover up one's own faults? However, Jiang Ziluo asked Leng Chenming to stay calm.

Jiang Ziluo took out the drug and antidote from the space, and handed the antidote to Leng Chenming, motioning him to take it. Then, she carefully observed the wind direction, and then handed the drug to Leng Chenming, asking him to stand in the wind and sprinkle the drug.

Leng Chenming followed the instructions one by one, while Jiang Ziluo fumbled around in the space. She remembered that she had put a toolbox there, thinking that maybe she could use modern tools to try to open this ancient lock.

However, her idea did not have a chance to be confirmed. It turned out that Leng Chenming had been very naughty since he was a child and was particularly interested in locks and mechanisms.

When in Kyoto, there were those little things that the king turned a blind eye to. Most of them were just the door locks of some palace being opened, or some rats or snakes being thrown in...either playing a prank on this person or scaring that person.

Later, with Xuan Yi and other subordinates, it was Xuan Yi's turn to learn how to open various locks.

Now that he saw the lock, he finally had the chance to take action. He was very excited. So without waiting for Jiang Ziluo to take out the tools, Leng Chenming couldn't wait to try to open the lock.

Not long after, with a "click" sound, the lock was easily opened. Leng Chenming gently pushed open the door and walked into the treasury with Jiang Ziluo carefully. The treasury was filled with gold, silver, treasures and precious cultural relics.

Jiang Ziluo's eyes were wide open. She had never seen so much gold, silver and treasures. There were also various kinds of calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, and toys... These dazzling treasures made her dazzled and her heart was filled with surprise and curiosity.

In contrast, Leng Chenming did not show much surprise. After all, this was the national treasury, a gathering place for national wealth. It would be strange if there were no rare and precious things!

He calmly observed everything around him, secretly thinking about how to get the treasure out safely.
