There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 1083 The Queen of Darkness
Yang Zhilan felt relieved.

However, as soon as she turned around, Su Xian stopped her again: "Wait a minute, I suddenly thought of a question. This is the palace of the Liao Kingdom after all. Is there any super master?"

Zhou Wei said hurriedly: "Senior brother, don't worry. When Emperor Liao took us around this afternoon, Nuxia Yang and I had already explored the entire palace and found no super masters."

"That's good."

Su Xian felt relieved and looked at Yang Zhilan: "Pay attention to safety, go early and come back early."

Yang Zhilan nodded again, turned around and started to open the door.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly stopped and lowered her voice: "Someone is coming."

"Who will come this late at night?" Zhou Wei looked nervous and wary, "Could it be Emperor Liao who wants to attack us? Senior brother, it seems this place is no longer safe, let's run away quickly!"

Su Xian held his breath and listened carefully. The night in the Liao Palace was very quiet, with only the faint sound of soldiers patrolling in the distance.

"Don't panic." He turned to look at Zhou Wei, who looked nervous: "If Brother Nalan really wants to go against us, there won't be any movement outside."

Su Xian made this judgment because there were many people stationed outside this room, all of them experts brought from Daliang...

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the house, and someone had arrived.

Judging from the footsteps, there were only two people.

Yang Zhilan opened the door and it turned out that it was the waiter from the imperial kitchen who, respecting the order of the Liao Emperor, had brought two boxes of pastries, which were said to be unique snacks of the Liao Kingdom, for Su Xian to taste.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Su Xian took the pastry, sent the two waiters away, closed the door, turned around and put the food box on the table.

When you open it, you can see that there are indeed various kinds of pastries. Although the shapes are not as exquisite as the pastries from the Central Plains, you can still see that Nalanjie has put a lot of effort into them and they seem to be delicious.

Su Xian didn't speak, with a solemn expression, he took out the package of special silver needles.

There are more than thirty silver needles in this bag. After excluding the one that was just used and the more than twenty that were given to Yang Zhilan for investigation, there are still about ten needles left in the bag.

Su Xian took out one and pierced it into a piece of pastry. After a while, he pulled it out and saw that, as expected, the tip of the needle turned pitch black, shining brightly under the bright candlelight.

He didn't say much, just pushed the food box aside, looked at Yang Zhilan and said, "Zhilan, go ahead and try to figure out what's going on!"

"Yes."

Yang Zhilan turned around and opened the door.

It disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Wei closed the door, looked back at Su Xian and asked, "Senior brother, what should we do next?"

"My mission is to find the antidote as soon as possible." Su Xian had already sat down at the table, holding the medical book presented by Li Qingniu in his hand and reading it carefully by candlelight.

After saying this, he concentrated on the book and ignored Zhou Wei.

The task of finding the antidote was his, not Zhou Wei's, because Zhou Wei didn't like reading, let alone studying medical skills. Zhou Wei's task was to protect his safety.

However, after a while, Su Xian felt the light in front of his eyes dim and looked sideways, only to find that it was Zhou Wei who was leaning over, staring at the book intently.

"Junior brother, what are you doing?" Su Xian was stunned.

"Read a book."

"Reading? Why are you reading?"

"In order to find the antidote as soon as possible."

"you?"

"Senior brother, I am also a disciple of the master. Although I am not as good as my senior brother and I am not good at medicine, I still know a little bit. One more person gives me more strength."

"It's rare that you have such a heart."

Su Xian nodded happily, and then he and Zhou Wei discussed it together...

It is said that after Yang Zhilan left the post house at night, she went straight to the imperial dining room.

This afternoon, when Nalanjie took them around, she was already familiar with the topography and layout of the entire palace.

The imperial dining room is located to the north of the post house, with a "royal wine bureau" in the middle, where the imperial wine is brewed. When Yang Zhilan passed by here, she smelled the aroma of wine lees in the air.

As the number one killer of the internal guards, she is the king in the dark night. Although the Liao Kingdom's palace can be said to be heavily guarded, Yang Zhilan feels like she is in a deserted land.

The stealth speed is extremely fast.

Suddenly, Yang Zhilan hung upside down under the eaves of a roof, hiding her figure in the darkness, motionless, and seemed to be integrated with the wooden structure of the eaves.

There was the imperial dining room in front of her, but she stopped.

Because there is a wide avenue between the Imperial Wine Bureau and the Imperial Kitchen Room.

There are no trees on both sides of the avenue, and it is bare. After all, the Liao Kingdom is located in the far north of the Central Plains, and the climate is not suitable for the growth of trees.

What's even more terrible is that at this moment, a long patrol team is passing by on the road. Each of them holds a torch, wears a strong sword, and their footsteps are neat and clear.

In this case, even if Yang Zhilan is the Queen of the Night, she does not dare to act rashly.

After a while, when the patrol team had gone away, Yang Zhilan jumped off the eaves, pressed her body close to the ground, quickly crossed the avenue, and sneaked into the imperial dining room.

"It's already dark, the lights in the imperial dining room are out, and no one seems to be around. It's just the right time for me to investigate secretly."

Yang Zhilan looked around, muttering in her heart, and slowly sneaked into the core of the imperial dining room - the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they turned a few corners, they saw the lights in the kitchen were brightly lit, two figures were reflected on the door and windows, and voices seemed to be talking floating in the wind.

"There are still people..."

Yang Zhilan paused and regained her composure. The faint light from the distance outlined her expressionless face, her eyes were calm and deep, like a cat on the hunt.

She immediately changed her mind, jumped to the roof, and slowly sneaked to the kitchen.

This kitchen was used to supply the entire imperial city, so it was very large. Yang Zhilan walked on the roof for a long time, stepping on the tiles, before determining the location of the two people below.

He gently opened the tiles and looked down. Sure enough, there were only two people in the huge kitchen, busy on a stove. There were more than a dozen braziers lit in the empty kitchen. No wonder the light was so bright.

We must find a way to lure these two people away!

She sneaked to the edge of the roof, casually picked up a tile from the roof, and weighed it in her hands.

After all, this was the palace of the Liao Kingdom, and the construction materials were very solid. After removing a tile and moving it up and down, she couldn't see that one was missing, which was convenient for her.

Snapped!
Suddenly, Yang Zhilan shook her hands and threw the tiles. They fell to the ground in front of the kitchen and smashed into pieces. The sound was loud enough.

At the same time, she shortened her stature to avoid being discovered.

But after waiting for a long time, the two people in the kitchen were completely unaware and did not open the door and come out to check the situation.

what happened?Because the kitchen is big enough, I made a lot of noise, but why didn't anyone come out?

Yang Zhilan was puzzled.

It turned out that the two people in the kitchen were cooking. In order to ensure sufficient firepower, they used a bellows. This bellows is similar to the "blower" of later generations, and it makes a loud noise when pulled.

Coupled with the fact that the kitchen is really big, and the sound of the spatulas clashing and the frying pan exploding, the two busy people were unaware of it.
