Chapter 1482 - 1482 Wasn't he already dead?
1482 Wasn’t he already dead?
On the 30th of December, Lu Zheng finally arrived at the capital of the lange Kingdom.
He, second white, and the rest had split up and had already gone through all the cities in the Lang GE Kingdom, but they didn’t find any traces of Gu Xin. Today, they met up in an empty house in the royal city of the Lang GE Kingdom.
The layout of the Lang GE Kingdom was the same as the great Zhou Dynasty, with the same streets and alleys. Therefore, it was not easy for them to be discovered by others when they hid here.
Lu Zheng sat cross-legged beside the fire, staring at the fire in a daze.
Second white and the rest were already roasting some dried food and meat. They were only left with a bit of seasoning. They planned to have a good meal on New Year’s Day.
Suddenly, Lu Zheng spoke,”you guys continue to stay here. I’ll go to the Lang GE Palace.” If I don’t come back by noon tomorrow, you guys can go back.”
Second white,”general, let’s …”
“Lang GE Palace is no less guarded than our great Zhou Dynasty,” Lu Zheng interrupted. We’ll be easily discovered if too many of us go. I’ll go alone. Fortunately, the palace is not big. One night is enough for me to find her. ”
White four wanted to say something but was stopped by white two.”Yes, general, we will wait here for you and third miss to return!”
“I hope Xinxin is there!” Lu Zheng smiled bitterly.
He had a feeling that Gu Xin wasn’t in the Lang GE Kingdom. If she wasn’t there after his investigation tonight, he would have to continue heading west.
He didn’t know what would happen if he went further west, but if the lange Kingdom didn’t have it, then he had to go west. Even if it was a Dragon’s pool, a Tiger’s Den, a mountain of blades, or a sea of flames, he had to go.
After a full meal, Lu Zheng slept for two hours. When it was midnight, he set off for the Lang GE Palace.
Lu Zheng, who was dressed in a night suit, was extremely fast and blended well with the night.
He easily dodged the palace guards who were patrolling at night and climbed over the palace wall.
After staying in the capital city of the Lang GE Kingdom for a few days, he found that it was very similar to the capital city, but it was smaller than the capital city. He guessed that the palace of the Lang GE Kingdom was probably built according to the palace.
Although he had a strange feeling, he didn’t think too much about it.
He was familiar with the palace, so he went to the place where people were kept in the palace according to his memory.
Four hours later, Lu Zheng knew that he had guessed it right. The Royal Palace of the lange Kingdom was indeed built according to the palace of the great Zhou, but the area was not that big.
He familiarly searched all the palaces, including the places in the palace that could be used to lock people up.
Now, only the place where King lang GE dealt with political affairs and rested was not visited.
After avoiding a few groups of guards, Lu Zheng came to the place where King lang GE dealt with political affairs. It was dark inside. The Lang GE Kingdom followed the customs of the great Zhou Dynasty everywhere. King lang GE should not be working on New Year’s Eve.
Lu Zheng sneaked into the room and knocked on all sorts of mechanisms according to what he knew, but he could not find a secret room.
He retreated again and went to King lange’s bedchamber.
In the bedchamber, King lange, who was already in his fifties, was wearing bright yellow clothes with a Dragon embroidered on it. If the Emperor were present, he would have noticed that this was exactly what he usually wore.
King lang GE was reading a letter under the lamp. There was a shadow of him sitting on the window.
Lu Zheng was hidden in the darkness, waiting for King lang GE to rest and for the people around him to leave so that he could go in and ask them directly.
In the end, he didn’t wait for King lang GE to rest. When he waited for King lang GE to call for a eunuch, the door opened and King lang GE, who was sitting at the table in the room, appeared in front of Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng’s eyes widened in disbelief. How could it be him? Wasn’t he already dead?
