Alantis, the Imperial Palace.

Teams of imperial guards patrolled back and forth outside the palace wall. There was a guard with a halberd every ten meters on the palace wall. There were layers of warning magic circles inside the palace wall, and many high-level warriors and magicians were lurking in secret. This was the most strictly guarded place in the entire imperial capital.

The guards of the imperial palace were so cautious that even the most wise thieves of the thieves union were discouraged.

Under the moonlight, two black figures were lurking in the shadows and slowly approaching the outer wall of the Imperial Palace. These two ignorant guys were Joan and Arthur.

When Joan proposed to go to the imperial palace, Arthur felt that he was crazy! The emperor and the empress were not arresting them, but now they have to take the initiative to send them to the tiger's mouth!

The reason why Qiong ventured into the imperial palace was very simple, just to see Concubine Qiongna and report peace.

In the chaos in the imperial capital four years ago, Concubine Qiongna lost her son and husband one after another, and Princess Qiong and the Tenth Princess escaped from disaster and left the country. There was no news in the past four years. Concubine Qiongna stayed alone in the cold palace, and these years were desolate, so Qiong had to look at Aunt Qiongna when she came back this time.

Arthur's mother died early, but because of this, she valued family affection more. So even though she knew that Joan was going crazy, she still came with him.

Each patrol team of imperial guards had only a three hundred meters apart, and they used this interval to quickly rush under the palace wall.

The biggest trouble is to solve the guards on the palace walls. The distance between the guards is too close. As long as a guard makes a little noise, it will alarm the people around.

Arthur was prepared for this. He clung his body to the wall, rubbed it a few times and quietly climbed under the edge of the palace wall.

Even so vigilant guards heard a slight movement. They stepped forward and leaned over to look under the palace wall. A faint black mist happened to float in front of him at this moment. He suddenly felt dizzy and shook his head and fell into a coma in an instant.

The fourth-level dark magic "Ecstasy" can make people lose their minds instantly.

The person who was unconscious should have fallen normally, but the guard was straight and stood there. Except for his eyes closed, he could not see any abnormalities. If he had not been close, no one would have found that his calves had been frozen together with the palace wall. Naturally, Gru cooperated with Arthur to take action.

Now in terms of infiltrating and sneak attack, Arthur and Gru's cooperation is perfect.

Arthur's body moved directly across the palace wall like a gecko, and then he solved the guards next to him in the same way. After solving the three guards, a guard vacuum of nearly fifty meters appeared on the palace wall.

The moment before the next patrol team of imperial guards came over, Qiong climbed up the palace wall with his flying ring against the wall.

Arthur and Joan lay in the shadow of the palace walls and did not dare to move. Until a white air floated from the roof of the nearest attic, the two of them dared to walk closer to the palace along the inner wall.

Outsiders don’t know the inside story, and every fifty meters inside the palace wall, there is a garrison building slightly higher than the palace wall. The garrison building is the place where the imperial guards in the palace usually rest. The roof is also the first floor of the hidden whistle in the palace. Every night, masters from the imperial guards lurk on the roof and monitor every move on each section of the city wall.

If Arthur and Joan rashly flipped in just now, they would inevitably be discovered by the secret whistle on the roof. Arthur let Gru sneak up to the garrison first, and then he would die of freezing the secret whistle on the roof to climb into the palace wall.

After sneaking into the imperial palace, Qiong and Arthur immediately changed into blue palace servants under the corner of the wall. Each of them carried a palace magic lamp in their hands, and then walked into the imperial palace with a swagger.

Qiong grew up in the imperial palace before she was fifteen years old and was familiar with almost every corner of the palace. As long as he was allowed to sneak into the imperial palace smoothly, the warning in the palace to the outside world would have no effect on him.

Passing through the courtyard, Joan took Arthur and took a secluded path in the Imperial Palace. Instead of going deep into the inner palace, the two came to a remote house in the northwest corner of the Imperial Palace. The lights were sparse and even the guards were scarce.

This is Jingyiyuan, the place where the concubines left by the emperor to live for their old age. It is called "superiority", but it is just a disguised house arrest and cannot leave the palace for life, so it is just a waste of life here.

There was a small green tiled courtyard in the corner. The gate was locked, and the dim light inside could be seen through the crack of the door. Joan and Arthur did not knock on the door, and jumped directly from the courtyard wall. A haggard figure under the light reflected from the window.

Joan knocked on the door.

"It's so late, who?"

An old maid came to open the door with sleepy eyes, and a cloud of black fog pounced on her face. Before she could see clearly, she fainted.

"Qinglian, who is here?"

"Auntie, I'm back."

The sound of a chair falling from the inner room came from, and a middle-aged beautiful woman ran out from inside. When she saw Qiong, she stopped her panic and was stunned for a moment before she stepped forward and hugged Qiong, "My child, you finally came back, and my aunt knew you must be fine."

"Auntie, I'm fine. Yihua is with me now, so she's fine." Tears flowed silently from Qiong's eyes.

Yihua is the nickname of the Tenth Princess.

This warm scene made Arthur's eyes moist. He quietly retreated and gently covered the door, leaving the time of being alone to Qiong and Concubine Qiongna.

Arthur rolled over the roof and lay in the shadow of the eaves to warn Joan.

It seemed that Arthur felt something was wrong. When several figures flashed from a distance, Arthur smelled the breath of danger.

Arthur jumped into the yard again and knocked on the window a few quickly, "Joan, something is wrong, we have to leave."

"What's wrong?"

"The quiet nearby is a bit too much, and someone seems to be coming around here."

Qiong was pushed out of the house by Concubine Qiongna, "Child, go quickly, it's too dangerous here!"

"Auntie, take care of yourself."

Concubine Qiongna's eyes were filled with tears, "Go away quickly, as long as you and Yihua are fine, I will be fine."

"Let's go!" Arthur pulled Joan out.

There was a rustling sound just outside the two of them left the hospital.

Arthur and Joan looked at each other and there was indeed a problem! The two exchanged only one look and ran out of the palace desperately.

The other party obviously did not expect Arthur and the others to react so quickly. At this time, the encirclement had not yet been completely formed. As soon as the two fled, one after another was forced to appear from the darkness and surrounded the two.

This time, the ambush around Jingyiyuan were all elites among the Dragon Scale Guards, and a team of Dragon Scale Guards quickly stopped the two of them.

If they were surrounded in the imperial palace, they would be difficult to escape. Therefore, Arthur and Qiong did not contact each other at all. Before the Dragon Scale Guard rushed to the front, they took action at the same time. Two roaring fire dragons rushed towards the Dragon Scale Guard who was rushing towards him.

Fire Dragon Roars, Arthur and Joan are going to make a big fuss in the Imperial Palace tonight!
