Chapter 245 The Conspiracy Approaches (2)
Insider information
While Ling Xuan and Yun Mengting were fighting desperately in the Yunwu Mountain ruins, Ling Xuan's palace was as lively as a pot of boiling porridge.
There was a servant in the mansion named Li Fu. He was born with shortsightedness. He was dazzled by the white silver and yellow gold of the conspiracy group, and lost his mind, so he secretly defected to them.
Li Fu usually looks like a silly and dull person. He nods and bows to everyone he meets, and looks honest and loyal. But in fact, he has more twists and turns in his mind than anyone else. If his eyes move a little, he must be thinking of some evil ideas in his mind, thinking about how to serve the conspiracy group.
He ran around the palace like a headless fly all day long, but no one noticed him, just like a ghost hiding in the dark.
Whether in the flower-filled courtyard, the quiet and winding corridor, or the busy and noisy kitchen and stable, his cunning eyes never stopped, always paying attention to any slightest movement in the palace.
As long as Ling Xuan and Yun Mengting made the slightest movement, no matter if it was the subtle buzzing of mosquitoes and flies when the two of them were discussing things together, or the light footsteps and the subtle movements of packing their luggage when they were preparing to go out, they were all captured by Li Fu's big ears and thieving eyes. Then, like a clever mouse, he would find various hidden opportunities to pass on the news.
Ling Xuan and his companions' search for the Secret Codex of Heaven and Earth in Yunwu Mountain naturally escaped Li Fu's notice. He secretly passed the news to the conspiracy group.
When Lu Xiao, the leader of the conspiracy group, heard the news, his eyes immediately widened like copper bells, shining brightly. He was so happy in his heart that he felt that this great opportunity was like a pie in the sky, just right to hit him on the head.
He immediately shouted at his men to speed up. They looked like a group of wild wolves that had not eaten for several days and were so hungry that their eyes turned green, and suddenly heard the news of prey. They rubbed their hands together, howled with excitement, and ran towards Yunwu Mountain as fast as they could. The dust they raised could choke people to death.
Li Fu was also busy in the palace, and continued to stir up trouble. He took advantage of the time when the kitchen was busy and confused, pretended to be careless, but actually did something mischievous, and overturned the bucket with a loud "splash".
The water in the bucket flowed all over the floor in an instant like a flood that broke through a dam, making the kitchen slippery and muddy. Many servants were busy cooking and were frightened by this sudden situation. Some of them sat down on the floor, and the dishes and bowls in their hands fell to the ground. They looked so embarrassed.
This was not the end. Li Fu sneaked into the stable again and suddenly swung the long whip in his hand that had been prepared long ago at the horses that were originally eating grass and resting quietly.
The long whip made a sharp whistling sound in the air, like a bolt of lightning that struck the horses directly. The horses were frightened and neighed, raising their front hooves high and charging around in the stable, breaking several fences.
For a moment, the entire palace was in chaos, as if a camp had been blown up, with chickens and dogs running around.
Those loyal guards are usually well-trained and strictly disciplined, but now they are a little overwhelmed by the series of emergencies.
They were busy calming the frightened horses and directing the servants to clean up the water in the kitchen. They were all sweating profusely and no one had time to pay close attention to Li Fu's little movements.
A few guards who were more attentive and observant felt that Li Fu's behavior today was a bit abnormal. Why was he causing trouble everywhere?
They couldn't help but wonder if this was a simple matter. But by the time they came to their senses and wanted to investigate, it was too late. Li Fu, like a cunning fox, had taken advantage of the chaos and secretly sent out the important information.
Li Fu was still hiding in a corner of the palace, thinking that his actions were flawless, just like a famous opera actor performing a play perfectly on the stage, and he was feeling very happy.
He never thought that his evil deeds were like secretly burying a powerful bomb in the calm lake, just waiting for the right moment, and it would explode with a "boom". By then, his ugly face would be completely exposed to everyone, and he would surely receive the punishment he deserved.
What will happen next in the palace? Will the guards discover Li Fu's conspiracy in time and bring him to justice, or will the conspiracy group take advantage of Li Fu's internal and external collusion to succeed in Yunwu Mountain?
Everything is still unknown, like a fog covering the sky above the palace and Yunwu Mountain, filling people with curiosity and anticipation.
