Chapter 995 -994: The Beiqi Underground Palace, The Little Kingfisher Attracts the Royal Court Officials _1
“Damn it, what a luck today, just wanted to relax at the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion, then I was being watched.”
Ye Luo grumbled as he arrived at a study facing the sunrise. He pushed open the door and went in.
Lin Qingluo dashed in after him.
The study was simply furnished, with only a desk, a bookshelf, and a small couch.
Ye Luo walked straight to the bookshelf, turned a mechanism, and with a creaking sound, the bookshelf revealed a secret chamber hidden underground.
The secret chamber was brilliantly lit and gorgeously decorated, like an underground palace.
Ye Luo entered the secret chamber, and two uniformly dressed attendants came forward and bowed respectfully, “Master, you’re back.”
“Has the monarch responded? When is he returning to Beiqi?”
Ye Luo looked somewhat impatient. He comfortably lay down on the couch, and the two maidens knelt on the ground, massaging his legs.
“The monarch has a secret decree. Please take it easy, Master.”
The attendant respectfully replied, “The situation in Fengqi is unclear. The Empress had a sudden death, and military power has not been taken back yet. The hunt for the Lin Clan child has been put on hold, the intended goal has not been achieved, we can’t go back for now.”
“Hmph!”
Ye Luo snorted annoyed, “The Empress is dead. Can Duanhui, a mere child, be a match for the Lin Clan? The monarch’s plan this time is probably going to fail.”
“Cough, cough.”
The attendant’s face changed. He didn’t dare to contradict openly, so he stepped back two steps, keeping silent.
This place seemed to be the stronghold of the Beiqi spies.
The Beiqi Monarch was very cunning, having planted spies in Fengqi long ago. The secret chamber was built just like a palace; it was really quite luxurious!
Invisible in the void, Lin Qingluo took in every word of the conversation between the two, a sharp and intimidating cold light flashing in his eyes.
“Master, have you found Ye Luo’s lair?”
The telepathic message from Little Kingfisher came just in time.
“Found it.”
Lin Qingluo carefully listened, accurately capturing the faint breathing of no fewer than ten people.
“Yin’er will go and help you.”
Little Kingfisher piped up excitedly.
“No need.”
Lin Qingluo was full of confidence, “You go to the Imperial Palace and lead Commander Xu and her group here.”
“Okay.”
Connected with her master’s thoughts, Little Kingfisher immediately understood his intentions and flew towards the Imperial Palace like a swift flash of lightning.
“Chirp, chirp.”
In an instant, it appeared above the Hall of Peaceful Harmony.
“Huh, this little kingfisher looks familiar.”
Upon hearing the bird calls, Xu Ruyun subconsciously raised her head and glanced up at the sky.
“It’s Lin Qingluo’s pet.”
Mu Fangyun had witnessed Little Kingfisher riding a beast tide and showing off its power during the northwestern war, the memory fresh in her mind.
“Chirp, chirp.”
Little Kingfisher circled over their heads, continuously chirping aloud.
“Could something have happened to Lin Qingluo?”
Xu Ruyun suddenly turned pale and looked up at Little Kingfisher.
“Chirp.”
Little Kingfisher gave two clear cries, then spread its wings and flew out of the palace.
“Follow it.”
A sinking feeling in her heart, Xu Ruyun instinctively jumped down from the railing and led the members of the Supervision Department to give chase.
“You stay and guard the palace, I’ll go and take a look too.”
Mu Fangyun patted Xiao Wei’s shoulder, climbed onto the roof, and vanished from sight in a few jumps.
*
“Master, I’ve brought the people over.”
Little Kingfisher was extremely fast; in no time at all, it was hovering above the small courtyard, circling around and chirping continuously.
“It’s there.”
Xu Ruyun and Mu Fangyun arrived soon after, leading the professionals of the Supervision Department into the courtyard.
Following its master’s indications, Little Kingfisher flew into the study and landed on the bookshelf.
