Chapter 257 Encountering Murong Fu in the Great Yan Kingdom
After leaving the Su residence quietly, Su Yinyin took advantage of the tight cover of the dark night and moved swiftly like a ghost, quickly arriving at the outskirts of the capital.
After carefully confirming that no one was around, she conjured a cool airplane from that mysterious space with a thought.
After several long and arduous hours of flight, the plane finally landed safely on the outskirts of the capital of the Great Yan Kingdom.
Su Yinyin was completely focused and carefully maneuvered the plane to land slowly before swiftly storing it in her spatial storage.
He then quickly changed into a set of night clothes designed for ease of movement, and like a ghost in the dark, silently sneaked towards the heavily guarded imperial palace of the Great Yan Kingdom.
Su Yinyin's original plan for this trip was simply to visit Murong Yu's palace.
However, along the way, her thoughts drifted like willow catkins.
Thinking about all the hardships they had gone through to get out of here.
So, she made up her mind and decided to "honorably visit" the palace as well.
Indeed, Murong Yu is a renowned prince of the Great Yan Kingdom.
The relationship between a concubine of the Great Zhou Kingdom and a prince of the Great Yan Kingdom is truly intriguing!
Along the way, she skillfully avoided patrolling soldiers thanks to her extremely keen senses.
With his superb and enviable lightness skill and mysterious spatial magic treasure, he quickly arrived at the foot of the tall and majestic outer wall of the palace.
Like a vigilant cat, she carefully observed her surroundings and soon pinpointed a relatively weak point in the defenses.
With a light leap, her graceful figure easily vaulted over the towering city wall like a nimble swallow.
After entering the palace, Su Yinyin became even more cautious, making every move extremely careful, trying her best to perfectly conceal herself in the shadows, and nimbly avoiding the palace maids and eunuchs coming and going.
Suddenly, she heard a series of neat and heavy footsteps approaching from afar, the sound like muffled thunder. She quickly and swiftly hid behind a huge artificial hill.
It turned out to be a well-trained and imposing patrol of guards marching past in orderly steps.
As their footsteps faded into the distance, until they disappeared completely from our ears.
Su Yinyin then continued to proceed cautiously, and after several twists and turns, she finally arrived at the gate of the emperor's private treasury.
At the entrance to the emperor's private treasury, numerous guards stood ready, each with a solemn expression and sharp eyes.
After observing for a moment while holding her breath, Su Yinyin gritted her teeth and made up her mind to force her way through.
She took out a large amount of sleeping potions that she had prepared in advance from her spatial storage and used her light and graceful lightness skill.
Wherever Su Yinyin passed, the guards would hear the crisp sound of weapons falling to the ground in the blink of an eye, and then they would all fall to the ground as if they had been bewitched.
Su Yinyin carefully unlocked the heavy lock on the private vault and tiptoed inside.
Inside, there was a dazzling array of treasures, with gold and silver piled up like mountains, a sight to behold.
She showed no mercy, moving swiftly and quickly to collect all the valuables she could carry into her spatial storage, like autumn leaves being swept away by the wind.
Just as she was satisfied and preparing to leave, she suddenly heard a noisy and panicked shouting outside.
"There are assassins! Protect the Emperor's private treasury!"
Su Yinyin was startled, secretly marveling at how fast this reaction was, faster than she had imagined.
She instantly realized that her whereabouts had been completely exposed.
She darted away like lightning, disappearing behind a huge and ornate vase.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of guards rushed into the private treasury like a tidal wave and began frantically searching everywhere.
"Search carefully, don't let the assassin escape!"
Su Yinyin held her breath and dared not make a sound. She took out a potent sleeping potion from her spatial storage again.
With a flash, the guards who had entered collapsed to the ground one after another, instantly losing consciousness.
Once they manage to get out of that door, there's absolutely no chance they'll catch her.
However, just as Su Yinyin was about to step out the door, she was surprised to find that the doorway was filled with soldiers holding bows and arrows, ready for battle. The arrowheads gleamed with a cold, piercing light and pointed straight at the doorway.
Su Yinyin couldn't help but curse their efficiency in her heart. Helpless, she had no choice but to hide in the mysterious space again.
The guards outside searched thoroughly but found nothing, and the leader frowned deeply.
He said angrily, "Surround this house completely. I want to see what extraordinary abilities that petty thief has to escape."
"Sir, you mean this petty thief is still here? Then why haven't we found him?"
The leader snorted coldly: "Hmph, this person must have some extraordinary skills to be able to sneak into the private treasury without anyone noticing."
I'm certain he's still in the house, just hidden in a secret place we can't find.
Search thoroughly, leave no inch unchecked!
Hearing these words in the space, Su Yinyin felt extremely anxious.
She knew that staying in the space for too long was not a long-term solution, after all, she still had to rush back to prepare for the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration.
The leader snorted again: "Hmph, this private vault is only so big. We've searched every possible hiding place. That thief must have some special means of concealing himself. Keep a close eye on him!"
Su Yinyin closely observed every move outside from within the space, secretly and nervously devising a countermeasure.
After a while, the guards outside seemed to gradually relax due to the fruitless search over a long period of time.
Seizing the opportunity, Su Yinyin took out several powerful smoke bombs from her spatial storage without hesitation and threw them forcefully out the door.
Suddenly, smoke filled the entrance to the private vault, creating a white, misty scene, like a fairyland, and the archers were thrown into disarray.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Yinyin rushed out like a gust of wind, displaying her unparalleled lightness skill. With a few light leaps on the rooftops, she instantly disappeared into the vast night.
By the time the guards realized what was happening, Su Yinyin had already vanished.
The leader roared in exasperation, "Chase after them!"
Just then, a dark figure leaped down from the roof and landed steadily beside Su Yinyin like a phantom.
The shadowy figure lowered its voice and said, "Come with me!"
Without a second thought, Su Yinyin followed the shadowy figure, leaping and darting across the palace rooftops like the wind, finally managing to escape the relentless pursuit of the guards.
Arriving at a secluded and quiet corner, the dark figure stopped. Only then did Su Yinyin realize that the person was...
Although she recognized the person in front of her at a glance, Su Yinyin knew that she should not greet him even if it meant death.
The shadowy figure removed his mask, revealing a familiar face—Murong Fu.
