He seemed remarkably calm, even when faced with something as terrifying as breaking into the imperial palace. His mental state was exceptional.

"That's...ok."

After Yu Dilong finished speaking, he disappeared into the crowd.

Guan Ning hid in an inconspicuous corner, secretly thinking about how to get in quietly.

There is a strict list of people who will attend the Double Ninth Festival banquet. Forging a royal invitation is obviously not an option, and knocking out some guests and replacing them is even less feasible, as it will definitely be exposed later.

After much thought, he rejected all seven methods one by one.

He couldn't help but frown. Was the only way to sneak into the palace? This was undoubtedly the most risky way to sneak in. Who knew if there were a large number of imperial guards waiting inside the palace?

As luck would have it, at this moment, bang, bang, bang!

Three huge bells rang, echoing inside and outside the Qiankun Gate. An old eunuch walked out and began to read the imperial edict.

"Your Majesty has decreed that the auspicious time has arrived. All ministers and royal relatives are invited to the palace to attend the Double Ninth Festival banquet and enjoy the autumn chrysanthemums and bright moon together..."

The sharp voice was filled with sinister energy, causing everyone present to be excited and in an uproar.

Click, click, click...

Immediately afterwards, the huge vermilion lion door of Qiankun Gate was pushed open by the imperial guards, and the guests began to enter the palace.

"Prince, the entrance has started. What should we do?" Yu Dilong whispered anxiously.

At this moment, he and Guan Ning had both undergone some simple disguises, so others could not see their true faces, but it was obviously impossible to walk in like this.

Invitations and identification documents must be checked one by one, and the number of accompanying persons cannot exceed two people.

In a moment of desperation, Guan Ning had an idea!

His eyes suddenly noticed that there were many carriages in the team entering the palace. Without exception, those carriages were heavily loaded with treasures, which were obviously tributes to the emperor.

"There is."

"Follow me!" Guan Ning whispered, and disappeared like a ghost.

"Have you seen that carriage? I'll hide in it later. There must be some valuable things hidden in the box. It's impossible to open them one by one." Guan Ning said.

Yu Dilong was sweating nervously: "But, my lord, there are people watching the carriage, how can we hide in it?"

Guan Ning said nothing, and suddenly a stone appeared in his hand, which he threw with force.

boom!

A horse was struck, neighed rapidly, and moved about: "Roar!"

Such a movement quickly attracted the attention of everyone around, and they tried their best to control the horses.

It's now!

Guan Ning roared in his heart and gave Yu Dilong a look. The two of them moved one in front and one behind, as if teleporting, and easily got into the two adjacent topaz carriages under everyone's noses.

The Imperial Guards arrived at the scene a second later, pushing through the crowd, and it was extremely thrilling.

"what happened?"

"Commander Zhu, I just stumbled, but I'm fine now." A middle-aged man was sweating profusely.

"Sir Dong, we will be entering the palace soon. Please keep an eye on your horse. If you behave improperly in front of the palace and the emperor gets angry, that would be disastrous." The commander of the imperial guards warned, his cold eyes revealing oppression as he glanced around.

They only obey the emperor and do not give face to anyone else. This is one of the reasons why the palace has always been so mysterious and terrifying.

"Yes, yes, definitely." Mr. Dong nodded.

The commander of the imperial guards said nothing and took his men back.

Guan Ning, who was hiding in the carriage, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the other party would conduct a thorough investigation. But just a moment later, the most tense moment arrived!

As the carriages came in one after another, it was soon Guan Ning's turn.

According to the rules, carriages and people do not go through the same archway, and every carriage must be inspected by the imperial guards.

"This is the tribute from Wu Zhen, Lord Wu of Donghe." The man outside introduced himself.

Then, bang!

The imperial guards were clearly stepping onto the carriage. Guan Ning tensed up, took a deep breath, and closed the last crack in the box, making it pitch dark.

Da da da……

boom!

The footsteps and the sounds of random unpacking were getting closer and closer, making Guan Ning's heart beat even faster!
