”Or maybe this map is fake?” Zi Yuan made a bold guess.
Liu Spirit was so shocked that his mouth was wide open: ”How could this map be fake?”
”Who did you get this map from?” Ellie asked curiously.
”This map was given to me by the steward of the Mu Rong family. He was responsible for supervising the construction of this courtyard.”
”Is this butler reliable?” Zi Yuan asked.
”This housekeeper is the son of the previous steward, a loyal and devoted group. Otherwise, if he had built the courtyard, he wouldn't have allowed him to supervise …” As he said this, Liu Dun suddenly thought of something and stopped speaking. He seemed to be talking to himself as he said absent-mindedly, ”Maybe he really has a problem!” Then she suddenly burst into tears, ”Oh my God, how could I have been so stupid! The second time he failed, but he didn't learn from it. Instead, he … Our elite forces... And they were all buried by me just like that! ”
”What's the use of crying now?” Violet Garden coldly replied, ”Without a map, rescue would indeed be very difficult. If this map is fake, then there must be a real map. If we get the map first and then go to rescue, it will take too long and be more difficult. Since the map is useless, we don't need it anymore. ”
”There are layers upon layers of traps in this courtyard. Without a map, it's impossible to even get close to the Prince's room.” Liu Kui said helplessly.
”The mechanism is set by humans, there's always a way to break it. ”How about this, we'll rest well during the day, and then Ellie and I will go over there at night to have a look.”
”Why should I go!” Ellie protested.
”Then I'll go alone.” Zi Yuan said indifferently.
”Alright, alright, I'll go.” Ellie pursed her lips, looking reluctant. Liu Dun couldn't help but fall into a daze when he saw this. Only when the Violet Garden kept coughing did he regain his senses and blush from embarrassment.
Violet Garden could not help but think: wherever Ellie passed, with a flirtatious glance, a bunch of men fell! It felt great!
In addition, she carefully asked him about the details of the three actions Liu Dun had taken. In these three actions, only the last time was Liu Dun personally leading a group of people into the other courtyard. If it wasn't for his subordinates trying their best to protect him, he would have already lost his life. He had lost his right hand at that time, and now he had installed a fake Refined Iron hand. Every three days, he would have to replace it with a new one, or else he would not be able to use it.
In order to save the Prince, Liu Kui wasn't stingy in telling the Violet Garden their secret regarding this sort of mechanical skill.
”This kind of hand is an invention that the Prince has privately researched in recent years. The Prince originally wanted those soldiers with broken arms to be able to walk back onto the battlefield, which is why he researched this technique. In order to learn how to use mechanical hands, one would also need to practice the internal energy of the ancient secret manual ”Heavenly Arts”.
Only by training this inner force skill to the third layer can one control this mechanical hand. The higher the level, the longer the interval between the replacement parts. The main reason why the young master did not directly kill the prince was because he had yet to obtain this Heavenly Arts Treasure Book, so this treasure book was stored in the prince's mind. If it wasn't for the fact that Prince had already taught me this technique until I reached the third stage, the two of you would be people with no right hand after seeing me today. ”
He stretched out his right hand, which was wearing a black leather glove, and took it off, showing Purple Garden and Ellie his [Refined Iron Hand]. He then continued, ”All the chants from the [Heavenly Art] were personally taught by the prince. He pressed the bell on the table, and after the door was opened, a man came out. He wore an exquisite silver mask on his left face.
”His name is Tang Ao. He was originally an archer, and lost his left hand at the beginning. That's why the prince chose him as part of the Heaven Armored Soldier's plan.” His talent is outstanding, and he is the only one who has reached the sixth stage of the grimoire. Right now his left hand is even more nimble than his right hand. ” Liu Bao pulled up Tang Ao's left hand. Within his broad left sleeve was a finely crafted iron hand. Tang Ao's right eye suddenly opened wide, and his iron arms shot out from his sleeves. His expression changed, and five different tools emerged from the tips of his fingers.
”My hand can open any lock. If I change my fingers, I can also fire different concealed weapons.” Tang Ao's voice was deep and deep.
The first time we went there, it was Tang Ao who led the group. Unfortunately, there was a traitor, so we couldn't succeed, and Tang Ao also burned his left cheek during that operation. Liu Gui pointed at the mask on Tang Ao's face and said, ”This mask is actually Tang Ao's weapon. We also have some small traps installed on his mask. He only needs to use his martial arts to activate these mechanisms.” ”If it wasn't for Tang Ao, I wouldn't have survived the third rescue.” When Liu Ding said this, his face unconsciously revealed an ashamed expression.
The secret Liu Bai spoke of was something Violet Garden and Ellie had never heard of. Perhaps this was the first time that Zi Yuan had heard of Mu Rong Xiu's plan, but this was the first time that he heard of it from Feng Lingxue. He was extremely shocked in his heart.
If it wasn't for the internal strife between the Young Lord of West Li City and Murong Xiu, the army of West Li City would have had a very powerful combat force by now. Thinking about it this way, he had indeed committed the sin of being merciful when he came to rescue Mu Rong Xiu. However, things had already gotten to this point. She had no choice but to continue this rescue mission. Besides, she still had a few questions that she wanted to confront in front of Murong Xiu.
”However, our plan has only just begun and the king has already trapped the king. Thus, we only have a total of six Celestial Armored Soldiers. Including me, who just joined, there are only seven of us.” Liu Gui suddenly revealed a face of confidence, ”The other five's Heavenly Arts Grimoire has already been trained to the fourth and fifth layer. I have always been saving my strength, so I didn't call them to participate in the three rescue missions. However, now, as long as we can successfully rescue the Prince, all of the elite forces here will be at your disposal! ” As Liu Dun finished speaking, his expression turned into one of determination.
”You're currently in the Prince's Mansion as a spy. Can you get close to Murong Xiu?” Zi Yuan examined the fake map before suddenly asking.
