Chapter 249 Cold Rainy Night One(1/2)
The inner palace is the forbidden area of the royal palace and is extremely tightly guarded.
Sun Tuozi patiently dodged several patrols in the palace and finally arrived under the wall of the inner palace.
He hid in a laurel tree and kept watching the guards patrolling the palace wall, but could not find a chance for a long time.
But he has a lot of patience.
Just like back then, he could stay in the mountains for several months just waiting for a herb to mature.
So, he lurked like a cheetah.
Not long after, he suddenly noticed a chaotic situation on the palace wall.
Then, many of the patrolling soldiers left. He frowned, not understanding what happened.
But this is of course very beneficial to his actions.
He waited for another half an hour and made sure that most of the soldiers on the palace wall had left.
He took advantage of the small gap between the two small teams of soldiers to fly over the laurel tree, and then disappeared behind the palace wall like a night owl.
The Treasure Pavilion is located in the southeast of the Inner Palace.
He walked quietly in a dark corner, dodged several patrols, and came to the downstairs of Zhenbao Pavilion.
This is a nine-storey pavilion.
If the contents inside had not changed much, he remembered that the two herbs were on the seventh floor.
He jumped up, stepped on the eaves of the high pavilion, and arrived outside the seventh floor like a bat.
He carefully stepped on the glazed tiles and came to a window.
He took out the knife used to dig herbs, and slowly opened the window bolt through the gap in the window, gently opening the window.
It's dark inside.
He quietly slipped in through the window.
He had just stood on the seventh floor with his feet. At that moment, he suddenly felt a biting chill, so that every hair on his body seemed to stand on end.
That was the first time in his life that he felt fatal danger!
At that moment, he crushed a pill in his hand and quickly stepped back.
Not retreating out of the window.
But right here on this floor.
He just needs time to count his breaths now.
He believed that the guards hiding here would be poisoned if they smelled the dust emitted from the pill he crushed.
Unless he is a great master!
There are only two great masters in Ningguo.
Of course Fan Taohua will not be here.
Of course, Yan Jidao, who has been traveling around the world for many years, will not be here.
Therefore, this cabinet guard is at least an upper-level person!
However, he suddenly heard a voice:
"Eh...confused!"
Before the last three words could be heard, Sun Tuozi heard another "Pfft..." sound.
This was the sound of a sword piercing his chest.
He felt a sharp sting, but what shocked him even more was the man who stabbed him——
He has taken ten steps back!
If this person wants to stab him with this sword, he needs to pass through the blurred smoke!
Not only did he pass through it, he could even speak!
He said Mi Mi's name in one breath, and obviously he smelled Mi Mi's very faint scent!
Not only was he not poisoned, he still stabbed himself quickly!
He didn't even have a chance to draw his sword to stop it!
He is the great master!
"Who are you?"
Sun Tuozi covered his chest, blood dripping from between his fingers.
Perhaps because it was too dark, the opponent's sword missed his heart by an inch.
He did not die immediately, but the sword penetrated extremely deep. Unless he was treated immediately, he would definitely die!
The man didn't answer, nor did he take another step forward, nor did he thrust his sword again.
He seemed to be thinking about something.
After a while, he suddenly asked: "Why are you here?"
"Please give me a piece of Ganoderma lucidum, twenty coins for dragon belly incense, a stick of thousand-year-old ginseng, and thirty coins for being a disciple."
The man was silent for a moment, "What is it used for?"
"Save people."
"You're going to die."
"So if you want to give it to me then hurry up!"
The man left and after a while threw Sun Tuozi a small box.
"You go."
"Thank you!"
…
…
From beginning to end, Sun Tuozi didn't know why the other party gave him the medicine and let him go.
He didn't even know who the other party was.
He only knew that Ningguo had gained a great master quietly!
The man's voice was not sharp, so he could not be a eunuch.
If he can be in the inner palace, he will definitely have great trust from the emperor.
Who is he?
Sun Tuozi didn't think about it anymore. He just hoped that the medicinal materials this man gave him were genuine.
He cut off a sleeve and tied his chest tightly, carefully slipped out of the palace again, and staggered down the deserted streets on this rainy night.
The blood in my chest is still flowing.
His clothes were already wet, and as he ran, the bandages gradually became wet.
He began to feel a little cold.
Although he was almost trotting, the coldness still hit him relentlessly.
It seems that the autumn rain is falling harder.
If I had known earlier, I should have taken two more sips of Huapingchun, or brought the wine jar with me.
He was getting closer and closer to his small courtyard, but his speed was getting slower and slower.
He felt like his legs were tied with two heavy stones, making every step he took take a huge amount of effort.
More blood came out of the chest.
It started dripping down his clothes.
He finally came to the street in his small yard. He was no longer running, but moving step by step.
His consciousness began to blur, and his eyes became blurry.
Finally he couldn't walk anymore.
He leaned against a wall and breathed heavily for a moment.
He wanted to lift up his sleeves to wipe the rain off his face so that his eyes could see more clearly, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his hands.
Must return home!
These medicines must be placed on the medicine cabinet.
Xiao Wu will be back tomorrow.
He would prepare the life-extending medicine for the third lady.
