emperor cold concubine

Chapter 440 Map of Jiangshan
There is nothing superfluous in the secret path, only a detailed map of Cangyue's mountains and rivers, a topographic map of the imperial palace, and a sand table that is so clear that people can understand it at a glance.

What is marked on the sand table is not the marching formation of the two armies facing each other, but the arrangement of unknown organs in the entire Fengcheng.

The moat outside the Fengtian Gate of the Imperial Palace has been nourished with a powerful toxin since the first year of Emperor Ming. This poison is not fatal. Day after day, year after year, the wanton growth of the toxin will only make people The water in the moat became more and more pure, and under the sunlight, the sparkling feeling became more intense.

In the hot summer, the clear water was scalded by the sun, and the toxins became more effective at this time. The lingering heat was enough to corrode every pontoon bridge leading to the palace on the moat.

After destroying the secret passage, Mo Li ordered the generals of the Habayashi Army to move the sand table and maps to the palace without moving, and ordered the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry to send someone to check the moat for any abnormalities.

The news of the Yulin army's return to the palace could not be hidden from Yixiu and Ziyu, they got up in their clothes, asked a few words outside the hall, and then went directly to Moli's Lixuan Palace.

As soon as Yixiu and Ziyu entered the main hall, they saw Mo Li standing in front of the desk holding a sword, staring at the sand table on the desk expressionlessly, and there was no one else around.

The two looked at each other and walked forward. After seeing the picture on the sand table clearly, their faces became serious.

"This is... the topographic map of the entire Fengcheng?" Yixiu's face was very bad, his eyes moved between the map and the sand table, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt a chill in his heart, "Use the toxins and heat in the moat Combined, destroying the pontoon bridge to achieve the purpose of shutting down the engine, and then destroying the entire palace... This strategy is so ingeniously designed and conceived that few people in the world can match it."

Mo Li turned his head and looked at him indifferently, without saying a word, when he looked away, he looked down at the Xueshen Sword on his waist, and frowned, as if he was lost in thought again.

Ziyu's face was serious, Chao Yixiu said: "Call Helian Zhan over here."

"Now?" Yixiu asked.

Zi Yu nodded indifferently.

Yixiu turned and walked out.

"There is a set of mechanisms that can destroy the imperial palace hidden at the bottom of the moat. It has been decades." Mo Li said lightly, "When I was a child, I once heard my father mention that if nine pontoon bridges are destroyed at the same time, it will immediately touch the bottom of the river. Not only will the imperial palace be destroyed immediately, but the flooded river will instantly submerge the entire imperial city, and people and animals will not be able to escape."

Mo Li didn't know who set up that mechanism back then, but its powerful and terrifying destructive power made people have to pay 12 attention.

Zi Yu was silent for a while, before he said: "Who are you killing in the Admiral's Mansion tonight?"

"Mu country's slain men, as well as mechanism masters." Mo Li's eyes were tightly locked on the sand table, and his eyes were cold for a moment, as if everything in front of him was about to be frozen.

Mu country?

Zi Yu frowned.

"At the beginning of June, in the letter sent back by the master, Nangong Xuanshang was ordered to start investigating the details of the admiral of the Nine Gates. It took Nangong Xuanshang more than ten days to uncover this person's background."

When receiving the news, Nangong Xuanshang personally launched an investigation, keeping his face and not attracting anyone's attention at all. The things found out in more than ten days were combined with the news sent back by Cang Hao to truly solve the problem. All doubts.

And this final conclusion caught Mo Li by surprise when he successfully killed the Admiral's Mansion.

The moat outside the palace is 330 feet long, [-] feet wide, and [-] feet deep. It forms a huge semicircle and surrounds the entire palace for half a week. The safety of the Moon Palace has never changed since ancient times.

Each palace gate corresponds to a pontoon bridge. If the nine pontoon bridges are destroyed at the same time, the mechanism hidden at the bottom of the river will be activated instantly, and the huge imperial city can be destroyed within a cup of tea, and no one can recover.

Mo Li said indifferently: "The admiral of the nine sects that Nangong Xuanshang found out is not the same person as the admiral of the nine sects who was promoted by Emperor Ming himself more than 20 years ago."

"From this point of view, the nine-door admiral has been hiding in the imperial capital for more than 20 years." Ziyu frowned deeply, "If it is said that the real nine-door admiral was replaced by someone 20 years ago, but he married a wife and concubine. However, it is a fact that he gave birth to two sons and two daughters, and his legitimate son is already 27 years old this year—"

Speaking of this, Zi Yu felt that something was wrong, and Zi Yu frowned in thought.

"If he had been replaced earlier, the current Shang Heng would not have had a 27-year-old son." Mo Li looked cold and serious, turning his gaze to the blueprint that detailed all the bright and dark buildings inside the palace, slowly wrinkling He raised his eyebrows, "Judging from the ink blots, this picture has just been drawn."

A nine-door admiral who has been hidden for more than 20 years without being noticed, a blueprint that has just been drawn...

Zi Yu's eyes flickered, "During the 20 years when the Murong family was in power, the nine admirals also lived in seclusion, and the number of visits to the court did not exceed five times a year. Because he had never been close to the emperor, Murong Ting treated him very well. It's like opening one eye and closing one eye..."

After all, a nine-door admiral who doesn't care about political affairs is naturally more reassuring to him than an nine-door admiral who stands beside the emperor.

"It is impossible for a person who has only entered and exited the palace a few times to draw such a clear and accurate layout of the interior of the palace, without even the slightest mistake."

Hearing this, after Mo Li remained silent for a while, his eyes gradually became colder, a deep killing intent emanated from his body, and even his breath became cold in an instant.

Yixiu quickly turned around and walked in, and said calmly: "I ordered someone to send a letter and asked Helian to go directly to the moat to cooperate with the people from the Ministry of Industry to check. Did you come to any conclusions?"

Ziyu raised his eyes, and Yixiu's stern expression was reflected in his eyes, which looked particularly intimidating. He was puzzled by this, his brows and eyes moved slightly, and asked in doubt: "What's wrong?"

"There are traitors in the palace." Zi Yu's voice was cold and firm, obviously very sure.

Yixiu's expression changed, and he subconsciously said, "Impossible!"

After the words fell, he frowned, turned his gaze to Mo Li, and found that his expression at the moment was also terribly cold.

Yixiu naturally understands the temperament of Zi Yu and Mo Li. None of them are people who are born out of nothing, and they will never guess at random...

So, traitor?
"Shang Heng's two daughters are 16 years old and the other is just nine years old. Apart from his son, he also has an 11-year-old concubine..." Zi Yu looked at Mo Li expressionlessly, and said, "You are in the Admiral's Mansion tonight. Shouldn't you have seen these people who should have stayed in the mansion?"

Mo Li said: "Except for the dead soldiers of Mu State, and the benevolent king of the Western Regions, there is no one else."
