Chapter 796: Searching for Fragments

Li Yang was silent for a moment, nodded slowly and said:

"I see."

"So...where is the first piece?"

Yunyouzi showed a mysterious smile:

"According to my calculation, the first fragment is probably hidden deep in the palace."

Zhang Hui said in surprise: "Imperial Palace? We just came out of there!"

"I am still an escaped prisoner. If I am discovered again..."

Li Yang frowned and thought:

"It is indeed difficult to enter...but it is not impossible."

"After all, my identity is still here."

Yun Youzi glanced at Li Yang approvingly:

"My little friend, you are really smart."

"We can use your status as a national advisor to sneak into the palace."

Li Yang nodded:

"It's just...how to act after entering the palace? We don't know the specific location of the fragments."

Yunyouzi took out a small long metal stick from his arms. One section of the long stick had a set of movable mechanisms that could rotate independently when held in his hand.

"With this dragon-seeking ruler, we can sense the breath of the Tianji Mirror fragments..."

Zhang Hui came forward curiously:

"Spinning without wind? It's amazing!"

Li Yang took the Xunlong Ruler from Yun Youzi, looked at it carefully, and murmured:

"It's really extraordinary... So what's the plan of action?"

Yun Youzi pondered for a moment:

"Tomorrow is the day when the Holy One summons all the officials. You will enter the palace as a national advisor, while Zhang Hui and I will disguise ourselves and sneak into the palace."

Li Yang nodded in agreement: "That's fine...but since you will be chased by officers and soldiers here, it means that that person's power has penetrated into the palace."

"In this case, we have to be more careful. I'm afraid that person's eyes are all over the palace."

Zhang Hui said worriedly: "If we are discovered..."

Yun Youzi consoled him, "Don't worry, I'm well prepared."

After saying that, he took out a stack of cyan talismans from his sleeve:

"This is the Turtle Breath Holding Talisman, which can completely cover up a person's breath. It may come in handy at critical moments."

The three of them discussed the details of the operation in detail and took a break until late at night.

Early the next morning, Li Yang dressed up and prepared to enter the palace.

Yun Youzi and Zhang Hui also disguised themselves as ordinary guards.

The three of them split up and agreed to meet in a side hall of the palace.

Li Yang walked through the palace gate with a calm expression and walked towards the main hall.

On the way, officials saluted him from time to time.

Li Yang nodded slightly in return, but was secretly wary in his heart.

At this time, a familiar voice sounded from behind:

"Master Imperial Master, you are well."

Li Yang turned around and saw that standing not far away was an old man with silver hair, a pleasant smile and a stooped figure.

He recognized this man.

This is the current Grand Master, Wang Shengxian.

This guy seems to have lived for a long time.

It was the person who was personally awarded the title by the father of the current Daxing Prince.

It is said that when he first led Daxing, this grand master had made great military exploits.

Nowadays, Lao Ji Fufeng no longer leads troops in the front line to fight, but comes to the back to assist in the work of governing the country.

He smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said:

"It turns out to be Taishi Wang. Nice to meet you."

Wang Shengxian glanced at Li Yang meaningfully:

"Why did Li Guoshi come so early today? Is there something important?"

Li Yang remained calm:

"Nothing else, I just wanted to come earlier to say hello."

Wang Shengxian smiled and said:

"With such dedication, it's no wonder that His Majesty thinks so highly of Master Li."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few more words and then left.

Li Yang was calm on the surface, but secretly wary in his heart.

Master Wang obviously has doubts about himself and must be more careful.

Soon, Li Yang came to the appointed side hall.

At this time, Yun Youzi and Zhang Hui were already waiting there.

In order to avoid being recognized, Zhang Hui even disguised himself.

Yun Youzi used some strange techniques to change the shape of Zhang Hui's face.

If he hadn't recognized some of this guy's behavior, even Li Yang himself wouldn't have been able to recognize his identity.

"How's it going? Did you find anything?"

Li Yang asked in a low voice.

Yunyouzi shook his head:

"If it's about enemies... not yet, but..."

He took out the dragon-seeking ruler, and the pointer began to tremble slightly.

"This thing has already reacted, which means the fragment is nearby."

That being the case, there's no need to wait.

The three of them moved forward cautiously in the direction of the pointer.

After turning several corridors, we came to a remote courtyard.

The pointer of the Xunlong Ruler shook violently.

"Exactly here! Exactly here!"

Yun Youzi's face showed excitement visible to the naked eye.

Li Yang frowned slightly, looked at the structure here, and murmured to himself:

"Isn't this... Taishi's Mansion?"

The three of them were about to enter the courtyard when they suddenly heard footsteps approaching from far away.

"It's broken, it's broken, someone is coming!"

Zhang Hui said nervously.

Yun Youzi frowned, took out the breath-holding charm and threw it to the two of them:

"Put it on quickly and hide it!"

Li Yang and Zhang Hui looked at each other, took the talisman and slapped it on their foreheads, then jumped up to the roof.

From here, not only is it difficult to be noticed, but you can also have a good view to monitor the actions on the other side.

Sure enough, after a moment, several people who looked like guards came over.

The leader was Wang Shengxian, who had greeted Li Yang not long ago.

"Master Wang, are you sure we want to do this?"

one of the guards asked.

Wang Shengxian nodded:

"That's natural..."

"How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed?"

"I have set up a ban here in advance... Those little mice attracted by the smell have no way to escape."

"In this case... we will go in immediately and arrest them!"

Another guard was eager to try.

Wang Shengxian waved his hand:

"Hahaha... now is not the time."

"I have already arranged everything. Everything is ready. All I need is the east wind."

"If you act rashly, you will only alert the enemy. You must not do it."

After that, Wang Shengxian waved his hand and left with the guards.

It wasn't until the footsteps completely disappeared that the three people on the eaves breathed a sigh of relief.

"Those two are both masters... If they are discovered, we may not be able to escape."

Zhang Hui whispered, "Fortunately, I have this breath-holding talisman..."

Li Yang frowned and murmured:

"From what that person said, it seems that we have been regarded as targets..."

Yunyouzi nodded:

"The other party may be more prepared than us. Just in case, we have to hurry up..."

"He said he set up a talisman here... Let me go and test it out."

"You guys look for what we're looking for here first and make a quick decision."

After saying that, Yun Youzi handed the Xunlong Ruler in his hand to Li Yang.

Taking advantage of the other party's temporary departure, the three of them cautiously jumped into the courtyard and began to search.

The courtyard is not big, but there is a mysterious atmosphere everywhere.

The quaint buildings and exotic flowers and plants are all awe-inspiring.

Suddenly, the pointer of the Xunlong Ruler shook violently, pointing to a rockery.
