The whereabouts of Wang Chen and his group were spread all over the world.

After staying in Kuncheng, the southern Xinjiang Protectorate, Wang Chen, Saeko Saeko, and Saeya Takashi were not affected by the severe damage caused by the Wuliang Sword Sect. They enjoyed a different style in Kuncheng, and Wang Chen also visited Saeko Saeko and Saeya Takashi for a few days.

On the way that followed, Wang Chen followed the routes of the former capital of the Song Dynasty, Bianliang, Taihu, Xiangyang, Zhongnanshan and Donghai, and slightly explored the target places he had planned and gained a lot of things.

For example, when the Song Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang, it still used the original capital Bianliang as its accompanying capital. The books in the original official library of Bianliang, and even many of the official residences and major families were isolated books that were not even found in Luoyang. There were also some of the inscriptions of the clocks, oracle bone pictograms, dragon and phoenix patterns and other things collected in the major families of Bianliang, which were all copied by Wang Chen.

Of course, deducting Bianliang is considered a small gain, and Wang Chen's income in several other places is basically not much!

The Mantuo Villa and Yanziwu around Taihu Lake have become historical terms. The ruins have newly built manors of other wealthy families or officials, but there are no many martial arts books collected by the Murong family and the Wang family.

Around Xiangyang, Wang Chen found the Bodhi Qu Snake, but there was no trace of Dugu Jian Tomb.

On Mount Zhongnan, the Quanzhen Taoist Sect had long been slapped by butterflies' wings. They didn't expect to find the Ancient Tomb Sect and Quanzhen Sect that no longer existed. Instead, they visited the Zhongnan Sword Sect that they had never heard of and the surrounding Taoist temples. They recorded many Taoist scriptures and also took a wild treasure hunt around the Zhongnan Mountains.

After arriving in the East China Sea, Wang Chen did not get the answer to the island of Taohua Island from the most famous old fishermen and sea merchants. He could only travel in the East China Sea for a few days, and brought Saeko, Tatsuma Sayaka and his group back.

After more than half a year of travel, Wang Chen returned to Luoyang with a team that had been reduced to about ten people!

...

In the tenth month after entering the plane, the imperial city of Luoyang, the capital of the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty Palace held a palace banquet at the end of the year every year, and of course this year is no exception.

Wang Chen only returned to Luoyang City less than ten days after returning to Luoyang City, and then he received a message from the eunuchs sent by the palace in the Yongyi Hou Mansion. He then arrived at the imperial city on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. After several preparatory procedures, he officially met the emperor of the Song Dynasty. After a polite remark and process of having fun with his ministers, a big banquet was officially held!

"Tsk tsk, the palace banquet is very attentive~!"

In the imperial palace where the banquet was held, sitting on the side of the military heroes, Wang Chen looked at the carefully cooked by the imperial kitchen in front of him, and the exquisitely designed stove under the table to keep the temperature away from being turned into ice by the cold weather. He turned to look at the guests around him and the Emperor, Empress, Imperial Concubine, Prince and others in the Great Song Dynasty above the hall. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "It's a pity that few people who are invited to have an appetite!"

"Of course I don't have an appetite. They came to the Imperial City not to eat at all. It seems that my mother once took me to attend the so-called upper-class banquets. Most of them attended the banquets to expand their connections and deals..."

Hearing Wang Chen's words, Gao Cheng Shaye, who was sitting next to Wang Chen, whispered in a bad mood.

Indeed, almost all the guests qualified to participate in the palace banquet were high-ranking officials and nobles from Luoyang City and even the top level of the Song Dynasty. Not many people were interested in the imperial meals in front of them. Apart from talking about a few people who didn't care but tasted them, most of the others began to chat with each other after a few chopsticks, and even looked carefully at the direction of the center of the hall.

The main seat in the palace is home to members of the Song Dynasty, including the contemporary emperors of the Song Dynasty!

For the ministers and nobles who can participate in the palace banquet, the imperial meal in front of them is nothing at all. There are many nobles. Ministers enjoy better food and wine at home than the imperial meal in front of them. But for most people, the contemporary emperors of the Song Dynasty and the princes and beauties of the harem who brought them to attend the palace banquet will reveal a lot of things.

For example, the emperor is more doting on those concubines, and attending palace banquets with those princes and princesses can make people think of many things, let alone get to know other nobles and officials!

"In this world, there are really many masters in the palace..."

Wang Chen listened to Gao Cheng Shaye's words and looked up slightly at the main seat in the center of the palace, but sighed in his heart.

Compared with other nobles and senior officials, Wang Chen was more concerned about the powerful guard forces that followed the emperor and queen of the Song Dynasty after the appearance of the palace queen, concubine and prince!

What surprised Wang Chen was that the old eunuch who was bowing and seemed to be very ordinary was marked as a [C] level by number zero as a strong man in the world of the plane. And that innate powerhouse is also a rare innate powerhouse in the world, and more than ten people appeared as if they were not allowed to pay, standing around the current emperor, queen, concubine, and prince as guards, eunuchs, female officials.

In contrast, Wang Chen, who stands outside the palace to guard or acts as attendants and background boards, was all acquired strong men who were evaluated as [E++] or [E+] by zero. The number of them is definitely starting from three digits. Those who are [F++] at the same time are all the imperial guards of the palace at level 1!

This is just an open appearance, with many powerful people protecting the royal family of the Song Dynasty. As for whether there are more powerful people waiting in secret... Wang Chen, who just felt the situation around him, said that there is absolutely no such question.

"morning?!"

Seeing Wang Chen's expression, Saeko Mushima sitting on the other side whispered to remind her.

Wang Chen turned his head calmly and greeted the noble family that "Wang Chen" knew around him, then held Saeko Mushima's hand and pinched it slightly to indicate that nothing was wrong!

[No. 0, will this close-range record be detected by the master or the grandmaster?]

【Confirm! Your Excellency the Agent!】

[Then, record the collections of books in the palace, especially those in the arsenal!]

Wang Chen kept talking and laughing with others. After discussing with No. 0 in his mind for a few words, he issued an order directly.

Silently, the power of No. 0 began to spread to the entire palace, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye. Except for the deep underground of the palace, an old eunuch seemed to feel something was wrong, but there was no whim. The other two masters in the palace arsenal and other places, including the old eunuch behind the current emperor, did not notice it at all.

Although martial arts in this plane world have stronger performances, no one expected that there would be such existences as Wang Chen and Zero. Many secret hidings in the palace were copied by Zero!

[Old Agent, complete the copying of all books and information in the palace!]

Hearing Zero's words, Wang Chen felt ecstatic and the smile on his face became even brighter.

Even outsiders think that Wang Chen seems to be very happy now. Saeko Mushima and Saya Takashi understand that Wang Chen's plan must have been successful. Even the two beautiful girls who were complaining about the strict rules of the palace banquet were all smiling happily at this time, and they sat next to Wang Chen safely.

……………………

Later, the palace banquet in the palace ended. Wang Chen, Takawa Sayaka, Kuroshima Saeko and others were led by eunuchs and left the palace like most other noble ministers.

After all, a few ministers and nobles valued by the royal family will probably be left by the emperor to ask about their well-being, and even whether they are used according to the situation. However, the title of "Yongyi Hou" that Wang Chen, who was demoted to the third-class marquis, was not as good as most nobles who joined the army or the officialdom. In addition, his performance was not outstanding, how could the emperor look at him differently? Even if Wang Chen and his party entered the palace and left, there were only a few noble families close to Yongyi Hou's Mansion greeted each other. The other nobles and ministers made some polite mistakes, and then it had nothing to do.

Of course, for Wang Chen, who already wanted to leave, this situation of being in an ordinary noble family was obviously a good thing for him!

"Chen! Don't be here..."

Inside the carriage, Saeko Mushima felt that Wang Chen's hand was not very regular, so she resisted and whispered.

Of course, Saeko Mushima had no objection to Wang Chen's intention to do something bad, but if he was openly driving in the carriage on Qingstone Road, it would be a bit beyond Saeko Mushima's bottom line!

"Tsk tsk, it's a pity. Saeko, you are a little shy like Sayya~!"

Seeing Saeko Mushima's reaction, and Saya Takashiro pressed his other hand without saying a word. Wang Chen, who was in a good mood, did not care at all. He looked at the two beautiful girls in the carriage and said good news directly: "Forget it, let's go back to Yongyi's mansion in a while, and arrange it to go directly to the zero space!"

"Hey? Can you go back?"

Gaocheng Shaye couldn't help but be stunned and asked in disbelief.

"Of course, there are about a few hours left to return!"

Looking at Saya Takashiro, Wang Chen nodded and said to her and Saeko Mushima with certainty.
Chapter completed!
