I Can't Be Sword God Chapter 175

175 The old woman in the lakebed town of the Prince's Mansion

The cool breeze carried the letter, and the autumn Moon was boundless.

The people in the Wang family's residence felt like a day was a year.

……

After passing the test, the three of them were lined up with a group of newly promoted servants and successfully sneaked into the Jiangnan Wangfu.

Because of his strong body, monk God Eye was assigned to the rockery group.

There were four teams in the rockery group, namely moving mountain, hair mound, cutting Ridge, and gold.

He had just arrived and was assigned to the mountain moving team. His daily task was to move the artificial mountain rocks from the East courtyard to the West courtyard, and then move the artificial mountain rocks from the West courtyard to the East courtyard.

He was curious at the time and asked,”what's the use of moving around like this?” He was punished by the man-made mountain group's head servant to not eat dinner for three days.

Because these words were too dangerous. If the young prince heard of them, more than half of the people in charge of the rockery would lose their jobs.

This was the first lesson of society for God Eye.

It didn't matter if the things they did were useful or not, or if the impact was good or bad. They just had to create an illusion that they were busy.

……

Chen Huaiji was assigned to the messenger group because of his nimble feet.

It was not a letter from outside, but from within the royal residence.

Because the Jiangnan Royal Mansion was really too big.

The main gate of the Wang Manor was on the central Street of the capital, and the courtyard wall stretched across two blocks, stretching as far as the eye could see. The shape was irregular, and the furthest position was almost at the base of the city wall.

It would take more than half a day to travel from the back garden to the front gate.

Chen Huaiji's mission was to deliver the news from the East Gate to the north gate. Someone else would transport the letters from the north gate to the South Gate, and then to the West Gate.

Usually, it would take an hour for a letter to be sent from the East Gate to the back kitchen. After this transfer, it would only take three days.

At this time, if the messenger was in a hurry, he could add two taels of silver and make the letter urgent.

An urgent letter was sent from the East Gate to the back kitchen in only an hour.

Chen Huaiji also learned a lesson from this.

As it turned out, as long as the overall efficiency was infinitely reduced, the normal efficiency could be charged.

……

Li Chu was assigned to the cleaning team because he did not have any special skills.

There were more women in the cleaning team than men. Generally, men were required to do the dirty and tiring work.

The task assigned to Li Chu was to clean up the right ear of the stone lion on the left in front of the West Gate.

……

At the end of the day, the three of them gathered together.

The servants in the Wang Residence had four people to a bedroom. The three of them came in together and were assigned to the same room.

When night fell, he would use some means to make another roommate fall asleep so that the three of them could speak freely.

Chen Huaiji fell to the ground in exhaustion and said,”I'm so tired.”

“I'm so tired,” monk God Eye said angrily.

Why did this monk also like to play with ethics Gu?

She wanted to fight back, but when she glanced at his bulging muscles, she did not dare to say anything.

“It's been tough,” Li Chu nodded.

Chen Huaiji and the divine eye stared at him together, unconvinced.”What's so hard about cleaning the ears of the stone lions?”

“And I'm only wiping one.”

“Is it going to struggle?”

“……”

I'm not tired, ” Li Chu said indifferently. but there were dozens of maids fighting to help me wipe my Kasaya. I had to spend a lot of effort to stop them.

pfft! the two of them threw up blood.

……

Li Chu spread out a large map of the royal residence in the middle of the room after he was done speaking.

This was drawn by Mr. Wu based on his memory. It covered the important places in the Jiangnan Royal Mansion, and basically all the key things were in the same area.

“The back garden.”

Li Chu pointed at a large, blurry area at the top of the map.

The back garden was the most secretive place in the entire estate. Although it was large, very few people knew what was hidden within.

Most of the servants, maidservants, and guards of the royal residence were not allowed to approach the garden's walls.

There were even rumors circulating in the manor that when someone approached the back garden, they couldn't help but tiptoe to take a look and were caught to fill the lake.

Before Li Chu entered the royal residence, he had used his mind to spy on the secrets of the back garden.

Unfortunately, the judgement of the heart's eye technique was not high. As long as there was a restriction that isolated “Chi” or a magic treasure that could block Chi, the heart's eye technique would be greatly affected.

In the past, he had also encountered such an experience, but it was just a little bit. It was the first time he had discovered such a large isolated area like the Jiangnan Royal Mansion.

He could see the outline of the garden, but he could not sense the existence inside.

It was like opening a small map, but all you could see was a hazy fog, and your vision was greatly limited.

Chen Huaiji entered the royal residence with a mission. The information he had was similar to Li Chu's, only a rough sketch of the royal residence.

As for what secrets were hidden in the back garden, he did not know.

In truth, when chaoque had sent him in, he had only been a temporary chess piece, and he had not had a clear goal.

The creation pill, the yanyue sect, and the Yiyao sect were all inextricably linked to the Jiangnan King. However, he had to find the specific evidence himself.

Monk God Eye listened to Li Chu and Chen Huaiji's long talk and touched his head. from what you're saying, it seems that all the bad things these days are related to that Jiangnan King. He's a Big Bad guy!

“We'll only know if it's true or not after we investigate it,” Li Chu said. At the very least, I'm going to take a look at Yingluo.”

He pointed at a red circle on the map.

Mr. Wu had marked it as the place where the koi were kept.

It was just that this red circle was in the depths of the back garden, next to the attic where the king of Jiangnan lived. To get there, one had to pass through a deep fog.

After the discussion, the target was set. Li Chu took the lead and walked out.

“All troops, attack!”

“Crush them!”

Chen Huaiji and Shen mu also followed suit, shouting their slogans and blending into the night.

……

The courtyard of the Jiangnan Wang Fu was deep and there were many patrolling guards. This was naturally not a problem for the xiuzhe. Li Chu passed through the walls without leaving any traces, Chen Huaiji's escape technique was already at a high level, and God Eye was also an extremely agile martial monk.

However, after passing the front yard, it was not so easy in the misty back garden. It was unknown how many restrictive formations there were, or what kind of demons and evil spirits there were. The future was unpredictable.

Three figures flew over the high wall of the back garden.

The first thing they saw was a Mountain Lake with a fake mountain Pavilion in the middle.

The surface of the water was deathly white, reflecting the crescent moon.

It was quiet all around, only the cool wind was blowing, and it sounded like a performer was crying.

“Be careful, the atmosphere is not right,” God Eye frowned.

Although there was no guard around, the three of them were still very careful.

Just as they were about to cross the mountain lake, they suddenly heard A Voice in the Wind, ” “Where are you guys going?”

There was indeed someone!

The three of them were already prepared. They suddenly raised their weapons. The sound of the wind was faint, and it was impossible to hear where the words came from.

Monk divine eye's prayer beads were Buddhist storage artifacts, and each prayer bead could store an item. When he entered the mansion, Li Chu had brought his sword and his staff in the same way, so he was not unarmed this time.

As for Chen Huaiji, no one knew what his weapon was, but the moment they heard the sound, he disappeared.

Immediately, there was a crashing sound.

It was the sound of water, but it also sounded like the clanging of gold and iron.

A black shadow slowly emerged from the bottom of the water. The first person to emerge was a bald man with sparse, weed-like hair. Under it was a cold, pale face.

This person had a hunched back, his skin was pale and bloodless, and his eyes were filled with a cold light of bloodlust and greed. When his entire figure emerged, it was revealed that there were two thick iron chains between his ribs, and the iron chains were covered with talisman inscriptions.

Was he actually locked at the bottom of the lake?

The figure completely emerged from the water and laughed sinisterly,

“Why isn't your Wanwan coming down?”
