Chapter 279

When they left the space, it could be said that Mr. Si Meng arrived just in time.

Mr. Si Meng was riding a horse and happened to chase here at this moment. He was currently looking around.

This heavy rain more or less helped him a little.

He went out of the city and walked on the official road. He could still vaguely see the neat and muddy footprints and hoof prints. Mr. Si Meng could be sure that these prints were left by Mo Jiuye when he passed by with his men.

From the neat traces of those prints, he could be sure that everything went smoothly when they got here.

Mr. Si Meng followed the prints all the way and happened to get here. The prints disappeared, so he got off his horse to check and hoped to find some clues.

Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran had just appeared on the official road and almost bumped into a white figure.

Mr. Si Meng had always been vigilant. After noticing something wrong, he hurriedly threw out a package of poisonous powder at the two.

Seeing this, He Zhiran reacted quickly as well, pulling Mo Jiuye to dodge again and enter the space.

In such an emergency, no one dared to guarantee that they would not be poisoned by the powder.

"Did you see what that person looked like?" He Zhiran only saw that the man was dressed in white, which looked a bit conspicuous in the rainy night.

Mo Jiuye shook his head, "No, it was too fast, I didn't have time to see."

"Whoever can search there must be related to Sixth Elder Brother and these drug dealers." This was the first possibility He Zhiran thought of.

"Ranran, pay attention this time and take me out again to see."

It was hard to get a clue, and Mo Jiuye didn't want to give up so easily.

He Zhiran also had this intention. The two covered their noses and mouths and appeared outside the space again.

Going in and out of space only took a dozen seconds, but where was the figure in white? What caught their eyes was only boundless emptiness and the pitch dark night.

The rain had stopped at this time and no longer affected Mo Jiuye's perception.

He listened carefully to the surrounding sounds. He could be sure that the person had walked away. At this moment, Mr. Si Meng was already on his way back to the capital.

The two people who had just appeared were the most skilled in lightness martial arts he had ever seen. Even his poisonous powder could be avoided. They disappeared in the blink of an eye...

When encountering such masters, the only thing he could do was run, the farther away from there the better.

After Mo Jiuye searched in vain, He Zhiran said, "The larva will look for the mother gu worm on its own after leaving the carrier. Why don't we let the larva out and follow it?"

Although this was a bit risky, they didn't want to give up so easily after finally finding a clue.

Whether the person they found was Mr. Si Meng or not, even if not, it was the person who controlled Sixth Elder Brother. It wouldn't be a waste of their efforts to avenge Sixth Elder Brother.

"Well, I think this is feasible.

If the larva runs towards the border, we'll give up tracking. We can't go too far from the capital city. We must go back before dawn to check on the situations of Fourth Elder Brother and Seventh Elder Brother."

He Zhiran also agreed to this. She immediately took out the larva from the space.

At this moment, Mo Jiuye had already embraced her waist, ready to follow the larva closely at any time.

Seeing that Mo Jiuye was ready, He Zhiran opened the bottle and released the larva inside, then quickly stuffed the bottle back into Mo Jiuye's hand, so that he could quickly catch it back if the larva ran in the wrong direction.

The larva, free again, flew towards the direction of the capital city.

Mo Jiuye and his wife looked at each other, then quickly followed.

All the way until the outskirts of the capital city, the larva flew over the top of the wall.

Mo Jiuye also increased his speed to the maximum. On one hand, the higher speed meant a greater possibility to dodge the guards' sight. On the other hand, it prevented losing track of the larva.

Smoothly, the two quickly crossed over the city wall without attracting the guards' attention.

All the way following the flying larva, they finally saw it flying straight towards the imperial palace.

The imperial palace guards were by no means comparable to the city gates. Mo Jiuye was not sure he could follow the larva in unimpeded.

Therefore, when the larva was about to fly into the imperial palace, he quickly chased up to it and put it back in the bottle.

Although this approach could not completely determine the specific location of the Gu Master, at least they knew the person was in the imperial palace.

At worst, they could release the larva again after entering the imperial palace to continue searching.

Although the rain had stopped, the sky was still covered with dense clouds.

He Zhiran glanced at the big clock in the space and saw that it was one o'clock in the morning.

In principle, this was the best time to sneak into the imperial palace. Except for some guards, everyone else should be asleep. "Shall we go in now?" He Zhiran asked.

Mo Jiuye pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily.

"We've come this far, I'm reluctant not to go in and take a look."

The two reached a consensus and circled back to the alley on the west side of the imperial palace.

Mo Jiuye found a hidden place, picked up He Zhiran, and jumped over the wall.

The imperial palace in the Southern Territory was not unfamiliar to Mo Jiuye. When he led his troops to attack the capital years ago, he personally led people to ransack the National Treasury.

Although he could not accurately state the locations of each palace, he had a general idea.

The two avoided the patrolling soldiers and came to a heavily guarded area.

Whether it was because the treasury of the Crown Prince's residence had been emptied, the number of guards here was much higher than Mo Jiuye remembered.

Mo Jiuye whispered, "This is the National Treasury of the Southern Territory. Behind it a little is the private treasury of the Emperor of the Southern Territory. I have visited both before."

At that time, they had carried away all the items in the treasury bright and clear.

Visiting this old place again, Mo Jiuye had a trace of expectation.

He wondered how much wealth the Southern Territory could accumulate after recovering for a few years.

Mo Jiuye did not intend to enter the National Treasury through the main gate. He pulled He Zhiran around to the side, where the guards were relatively weak.

Even so, there were guards every two steps.

There was not much of that magical potion made from the silver ring snake left. He Zhiran was reluctant to take it out before the critical moment.

Especially with so many guards in front. The small amount of potion was of no use.

He Zhiran decisively took out two repeating crossbows from the space.

There were two windows behind the treasury, with four guards in total. Each person would take out two guards, and the speed must be fast to avoid detection.

At the same time, He Zhiran was also prepared to fail. Once they failed, she would pull Mo Jiuye into the space together.

Fortunately, neither of them missed. In the blink of an eye, four delicate crossbow arrows shot into the foreheads of the four people.

Mo Jiuye quickly moved the corpses to a hidden place, while taking out the feathered arrows from their foreheads, leaving no traces behind.

After handling everything, the two broke in through the window. The National Treasury of the Southern Territory was not as rich as that of the Da Shun Dynasty.

Of course, this was related to the geographical environment and national strength of the Southern Territory. More importantly, it had been looted by Mo Jiuye a few years ago.

In just a few years, being able to accumulate so much again was not bad.
