Chapter 367 The Empress Is Really Here

Wu Tian also saw the Taoist Duobao and the Ancestor of Blood Sword.

He calmed down and whispered to Fan Rui: "Don't be nervous, we came here secretly this time. They can't know that we are here. If you are nervous, you will expose yourself."

Fan Rui calmed down.

The Taoist Duobao and the ancestor of Blood Sword glanced at Wu Tian and Fan Rui, and then passed by.

Seeing that they had walked away, Fan Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing his scared look, Wu Tian couldn't help but shake his head.

The presiding officer of Yunzhen Temple led Wu Tian and Fan Rui to the Taimiao, where the spiritual throne of Emperor Taizu of Xixia was worshipped.

When they walked in, they saw a tall clay statue.

The image of a hero wearing armor, holding a sword, and riding a horse to kill the enemy was reflected in Wu Tian and Fan Rui's eyes.

Even Wu Tian’s pores were mobilized, his blood was boiling, and his fighting will suddenly fly.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?"

Fan Rui realized something was wrong, and the fighting will emanated from Wu Tian’s eyes was very powerful.

Wu Tian suddenly woke up at this time and was stunned.

After a long time, he recovered from his consciousness and looked at Fan Rui: "What happened to me just now?"

"Just just now, a strong aura was emitting all over his body, as if he was going to duel with someone. I was afraid that you would be fascinated, so I woke you up."

Fan Rui explained.

Wu Tian nodded slightly, glanced at the statue of Xixia Taizu, and thought to himself: "Is this statue just now aroused my fighting spirit."

A unique smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. If Xixia Taizu was still alive, he really wanted to compete with him.

Just as he was thinking, all the monks who came to recite scriptures to Taizu of Xixia came in and sat down according to their direction.

The host of Yunzhen Temple signaled Wu Tian and Fan Rui to sit down as well and sit next to him.

As soon as they sat down, the King of Xixia led all civil and military officials in from outside.

The presiding officer of Yunzhen Temple stood up to greet him and clasped his hands towards the King of Xixia: "Your Majesty, everything is ready and can start at any time."

The King of Xixia nodded, stepped forward and lit the incense, bowed to the statue of Emperor Taizu of Xixia, and inserted the incense.

The civil and military officials who followed the King of Xixia also knelt down at this time and kowtowed three times and nine times to the statue of Emperor Taizu of Xixia.

After all the worship, the King of Xixia said to the host of Yunzhi Temple: "I will leave this to you. I will recite scriptures to Emperor Taizu. I will not treat you badly."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know what to do."

"Okay, you will stay in the palace tonight, but don't walk around casually. Someone will arrange all the food and use for you. If you dare to walk around randomly, I can't guarantee what happened, do you understand?"

The host of Yunzhen Temple clasped his hands and nodded.

After the King of Xixia and Li Yun left, Wu Tian couldn't sit still and got up and was about to leave. He was stopped by Yunzhen Temple, pulled aside, and whispered: "Now, it's not the time, you can bear it for a while."

Wu Tian stared at the host of Yunzhen Temple and finally chose to compromise.

Fan Rui also came over at this time and persuaded Wu Tian.

Wu Tian had no choice but to sit down.

The monks began to recite scriptures for the Emperor Taizu of Xixia.

At noon on the sun, the host of Yunzhen Temple stood up and went out.

Wu Tian wanted to follow him, but was stopped by him and whispered: "Sir, I went out to find out the news for you. I'm afraid it's not that convenient for you to go with me. If you stay here, I will report to you immediately once I find the news."

"Okay, I'm here to master."

Wu Tian returned to Taimiao and sat down.

Gradually, the sun sets down the mountain, and the host of Yunzhi Temple has not returned yet.

Wu Tian couldn't sit still anymore. If he hadn't been afraid of revealing his identity, he would have gone to find him by himself.

In a blink of an eye, it was dark and the moon came out.

The monks who recited scriptures in the Taimiao stood up and went back to sleep, leaving Wu Tian and Fan Rui in the main hall.

Looking at the candlelight, Wu Tian couldn't sit still and shouted: "This bald donkey has not come back for so long. Are you afraid and running away!"

Fan Rui hurried out to check out and saw that there were no patrol soldiers around him. Then he came back and said to Wu Tian in a low voice: "Sir, please calm down. Now we are in the enemy's palace, so be careful of everything. If the old monk has not come back in a while, we will leave here immediately. Maybe, this monk will betray us."

These words reminded Wu Tian. He nodded. If there was another stick of incense, they would leave here before the host of Yunzhen Temple came back.

Soon, a stick of incense passed.

Wu Tian and Fan Rui stood up and as soon as they walked out of the Taimiao, they saw the host running over hurriedly with blood on his face.

"gentlemen!"

The host ran to Wu Tian and fell down.

Wu Tian quickly helped the host up, stared at him and asked, "Host, what's wrong with you?"

The host said: "I'm going to find out the whereabouts of the imperial concubine for the gentleman. I finally got rid of the cliché from the commander of the imperial guards and learned that the imperial concubine was unwilling to follow the King of Xixia. The King of Xixia was in anger and was detained in the ice cellar to suffer. I was about to come to report it, but I ran into the Taoist Master Duobao and the ancestor of Blood Knife on the way. They saw me walking in a panic and suspected me, so they took me to the Imperial Horse Prison for interrogation."

"I was beaten, but I gritted my teeth and didn't say anything. They let me go when I saw that I couldn't ask anything. I'll report to you immediately."

After hearing this, Wu Tian sighed slightly and helped the host into the Taimiao.

"It is because of me that the host will encounter such humiliation. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down when I pacify Xixia in the future. Do you know where this ice cellar is?"

The host took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Wu Tian.

"Sir, this is a sketch of the Xixia Palace that I secretly drew. The ice cellar was located on it."

Wu Tian took the drawings, looked at them and put them away, bowed to the host, and led Fan Rui away.

As soon as they left, the host wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and showed a cold smile.

...

According to the drawings, Wu Tian quickly found the location of the ice cellar.

He was about to enter but was stopped by Fan Rui.

"Sir, in order to prevent fraud, I'd better let me go in first. After I go in, if nothing happens to me, you can follow me again. If something happens to me inside, you will leave here immediately and rush back to Liang State."

Wu Tian pondered for a while and nodded.

Fan Rui took out the dagger and pried open the lock of the iron door of the ice cellar. It was so dark inside that he could only grop in.

Wu Tian was waiting outside while raising the wind.

After a while, the ice cellar suddenly lit up, and then Fan Rui's voice came: "Sir, the imperial concubine is indeed here, you can come in."

Wu Tian was happy and hurried in.
