Chapter 342 Eliminating all possibilities, what remains is the truth

Fenghuang only saw Chu Tang again when it was about halfway through Chenshi.

The location is Tingfengxuan located in Fengfu.

It was a hot summer day, the sun was shining brightly, and everything looked wonderful.

Fenghuang, however, had an angry look on his face and rushed into the courtyard of Tingfengxuan. When he saw that there he was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea leisurely and smiling, with Chu Tang serving as a maid beside him, she was not angry at all. He came from one place, ran to Chu Tang in a few steps, and shouted:

"Chu Tang, are you looking for death? How dare you entertain this girl? I asked you to find a way to sneak into the treasure house, and you actually ran back to the house to sleep in the middle of the night? Do you know how worried I am..."

She closed her mouth, feeling very puzzled and resentful. She stared at Chu Tang with her big, round eyes, wanting to eat people.

She was going crazy. She waited all night in the treasury of the Thirteenth Princess's residence, but did not see Chu Tang. When she left the treasury in the morning, she could not find any trace of him. She couldn't help but worry, fearing that Chu Tang had gone out last night. What an accident.

Upon inquiry, everyone in the Princess Mansion said they had seen no trace of Chu Tang.

I hurriedly greeted the princess and rushed all the way back to Feng Mansion. I heard the servants say that the guests staying at Tingfengxuan came back last night and had a rest all night. They had just finished breakfast and were relaxing in Tingfengxuan.

Fenghuang was about to get rid of her anger. When she came to Tingfengxuan, she saw Chu Tang enjoying the morning time with a harmless look. Of course she was so angry that she wanted to punish him.

However, Chu Tang didn't seem to see Feng Huang's face full of resentment and fire-breathing eyes. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the seat opposite him, gesturing for Feng Huang to sit down.

In front of him was a beautifully carved marble table, on which the maid placed a fruit plate and tea.

It’s a rare time to have breakfast!

Feng Huang was so angry that his chest kept rising and falling, which was eye-catching, but he ignored Chu Tang's kindness and said coldly: "Chu Tang, if you don't give me an explanation today, I'm not done with you!"

Chu Tang picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and exclaimed: "Good tea!"

"Chu Tang!" Feng Huang was about to explode with rage.

Chu Tang glanced at her and said: "I have always heard that those who lead the army must have a calm mind, but they can have a big picture. If the mind is not calm, the body will not be secretive, and the body will not be secretive, and then there will be losses. Third Miss, please sit down !”

Hearing Chu Tang's calm words, Feng Huang was stunned and calmed down.

After all, he is the actual commander of the Phoenix Army. It is difficult to maintain the spirit of an army with force alone. Fenghuang can unite the Phoenix Army around him, relying not only on force, but also on brain power.

Those who work hard serve others, and those who work hard serve others. This is the principle.

The members of the Phoenix Army have extraordinary backgrounds. Without extraordinary personal charisma, they really wouldn't be able to command that group of delicate women's soldiers.

Under Chu Tang's calm behavior, Fenghuang was not as calm as before, but she was much calmer. She just rolled her eyes and immediately stepped forward and sat down opposite Chu Tang in the pavilion.

The discerning maid immediately came forward to serve Feng Huang and poured a small cup of tea for Feng Huang.

Fenghuang just raised his head slightly and glanced at her without saying a word.

The maid stepped back wisely.

When Chu Tang saw the maid walking away, he said, "This red date cake from your Feng Mansion is very good. It's fragrant and glutinous and doesn't stick to your teeth. The third lady probably hasn't had breakfast yet. Would you like some to fill your stomach?"

When Fenghuang heard this, a small section of blue vein appeared in the arm hanging at the knee. His eyes were like sharp knives and he dug out Chu Tang. He took a deep breath and said, "No need. This girl has been eating this red date cake for many years. She has already eaten it." Tired of eating!"

Chu Tang was choked. He had praised the red date cake just now, but the other party retorted that he was tired of eating it. Doesn't this mean that he is a bumpkin from the countryside and has no experience?

He suddenly became Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden!

Of course, Chu Tang also realized why Feng Huang was so direct in attacking others without giving any face, and said with a smile without changing his face: "Miss Third, actually you should thank Chu."

"Haha!" Fenghuang sneered.

She let Miss Feng San feed the mosquitoes in the room all night, and she still thanked him?

If she doesn't beat him up, she will be considered educated!

She looked at Chu Tang with murderous eyes, as if to say: Make it up, let me see how you make up this story!

Chu Tang said: "Mr. Chu helped you learn a lesson last night."

"Huh?" Fenghuang expressed doubts.

Chu Tang said leisurely: "The result is that no one can quietly sneak into the treasure house of the Xincheng Princess Mansion using Qinggong."

Feng Huang was such a smart person. He immediately raised his head and looked at Chu Tang. His beautiful eyebrows wrinkled, and even his beautiful face showed a hint of infatuation: "Did you really try it seriously last night?"

Chu Tang asked back: "Third Miss, you don't think that Mr. Chu dares to really let you go and entertain you, right?"

Fenghuang snorted coldly and made no comment.

Chu Tang sighed: "Yesterday afternoon, under the instructions of the third lady, Chu became familiar with the layout of the treasure house. Where are the organs, where are the defenses, and which places are weak points? It’s very clear, but I know it well.”

Feng Huang just frowned and said nothing, waving his hand to signal Chu Tang to continue.

"Outside last night, Chu started taking action around midnight. At that time, many lights in the princess's mansion were turned off, and the servants began to rest one after another, making it suitable for hiding.

"Then, Mr. Chu, who was dressed in night clothes, sneaked in from the outer wall of the princess's mansion and reached the treasure house. At first, without telling the guards patrolling outside the treasure house, Chu came to the top of the treasure house. After thinking for a long time, he searched for a long time. I couldn't find a way to do it without touching the silk from the Western Regions that was connected to the mechanism.

"Actually, it's not impossible. As long as Chu knows the legendary bone-shrinking technique, he can shrink a seven-foot-old man into a body not much bigger than a fist, and then pass through the gap in the silk. What a pity. Chu doesn’t have this ability!”

Fenghuang sneered: "Don't talk about you, no one in the world can do it! I have seen bone shrinking skills. They are nothing more than some methods of tightening the body joints, chest and abdominal cavities. It can make people one or two feet shorter and smaller. Two or three inches is good. Not to mention normal people, even dwarfs can’t make it the size of a fist!”

Chu Tang smiled and said: "So, the method of sneaking in from the top is ruled out. Is this a rule of thumb?"

Fenghuang couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said, "What else is there? Tell me quickly!"

She has always been so heroic and heroic, but when she rolled her eyes, she really showed off an indescribable charm.

Chu Tang was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head and said in a loud voice: "You can't get in from above, so Chu can only see if there are any loopholes in the wall outside. But to be honest with Miss Third, Chu I worked hard for most of the night, climbing on the wall, like a gecko, and visited every part of the outer wall. I tried several times, but in vain.

"I have to say that the people who built this treasure house were really willing to cut down on materials. Not to mention leaving a hole in the wall, there is not even a gap. Even ants can't get in, let alone people. Unless it is exposed, Otherwise, you can only look at the wall and sigh!"

Feng Huang glanced at Chu Tang again and said, "You are the only one who is poor, right?"

Chu Tang chuckled and spread his hands: "Look, this is another piece of experience!"

The top couldn't be lowered, and the outer wall couldn't be entered. Feng Huang had no choice but to ask: "What about the gate?"

Chu Tang said: "The patrols outside the gate and the secret guards inside the treasure house change shifts every three hours, and the shift times inside and outside are the same. At other times, the gate is closed from Youshi... That is, It is said that after nightfall, only Zishi and Maoshi opened the door once.

"It's almost dawn at Mao Shi, the view is much better, and the servants of the Princess Mansion get up very early, so no one would choose to act at this time. Only the midnight hour is the best time."

"You still haven't found the flaw?" Feng Huang frowned slightly.

Chu Tang spread his hands and said: "Those guards never act alone. Even if they take a break, they always leave in pairs. Dozens of guards patrol back and forth without missing a moment. Even if the door is opened during a shift change, even half of them will There was no time for a cup of tea, and they also counted each other's heads, very vigilant.

"Chu thinks that his Qinggong is quite good, and he can quietly touch the edge of the gate without being noticed. But Chu can definitely tell Miss Third that no one can sneak in through the gate with Qinggong. Treasure house. Even a gust of wind will alert the guards if they want to sneak in. Of course, there are two exceptions."

"Which two kinds?" Feng Huang asked, dissatisfied with Chu Tang's betrayal.

Chu Tang raised an index finger and said: "The first one is that these guards behaved differently before and after. Only last night they patrolled closely and watched closely. In the past, they were hasty and perfunctory. The reason? Of course it was the incident a few days ago. They don't dare to take it lightly anymore. Only by explaining it in this way can people find the loopholes and gaps to sneak in. "

"Impossible!" Fenghuang directly denied this speculation, "The Thirteenth Princess Yu is very strict and always checks the manpower and actions of patrols in the treasure house. Just because there are... In short, you know that those guards dare not be careless. . Besides, there are also people who are palace guards among the guards. They are always cautious and have a whole set of connecting methods, so there will never be any problems."

Chu Tang took a breath and thought, my dear, even the palace guards are helping to guard the treasure house at the princess's mansion. What is hidden here.

In other words, this Xincheng princess is so popular with the emperor that she has to send palace guards to help guard a princess treasure house!

No matter which one it was, Chu Tang would not dare to provoke it.

After taking a deep look at Feng Huang, who was talking, Chu Tang continued: "The second possibility is that the person who infiltrates can become invisible!"

"The method of invisibility?" Feng Huang was puzzled.

Chu Tang spoke eloquently: "Someone used some means to hide himself so that his existence could not be seen by the naked eye. Then, he used his superb Qinggong to sneak in under the eyes of a group of guards."

Hearing this, Feng Huang looked at Chu Tang as if he were a fool, and said nothing for a long time.

Chu Tang felt uncomfortable and asked, "Why does the third princess look at Chu like this?"

Feng Huang smiled and said: "I am thinking, are you stupid, or am I hallucinating?"

"Uh..." Chu Tang's face froze.

Feng Huang snorted coldly: "The so-called stealth method, some scouts in the army are good at it, but most of them use the convenience of terrain or external objects to hide, so it is not easy to find. This girl has never heard of anyone who can do it in her life. He became invisible in front of everyone and disappeared out of thin air!"

Chu Tang couldn't stop laughing: "I haven't seen Chu either, I just heard some legends."

Fenghuang glanced at him and said, "Read less books about strange powers and chaos, and listen less to stories about legendary animals and monsters!"

Chu Tang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Miss Third taught me very well."

He was really relieved. As long as there were no gods, ghosts or ghosts in this world, he would be relieved.

As long as he has enough martial arts skills, he will be able to make his way to this world sooner or later!

Fenghuang fell into deep thought, with a hint of solemnity on his beautiful face, and said slowly: "Speaking of this invisibility, it is actually nothing more than enchanting the five senses, making people lose their senses. This is quite a show of force. It was very similar after that.”

Chu Tang was horrified and exclaimed: "Is there such ability in the upper three realms?"

What's surprising is that the princess's treasure house is very large, dozens of feet long and wide!

In addition, there were not hundreds but dozens of exceptional patrols.

Such a large area, so many people, all enveloped in it, captivating the five senses, who has such exaggerated power? !

Seven Realms? Absolutely not possible!

Eight realms? Nothing can be done!

The Nine Realms... shouldn't be possible either, right?

Chu Tang has never seen the power of the Nine Realms, so it is difficult to judge.

But he knew one thing, working for a top master in the Nine Realms to steal a treasure was too extravagant!

Do Nine Realm masters still need to steal?

They just start grabbing it!

As long as there is no expert from the Ninth Realm in the princess's mansion, a person from the Ninth Realm can destroy the mere treasure house in an instant. No one dares to refuse to give it any treasure they want!

Sure enough, I only heard Feng Huang say: "A master in the Nine Realms will not do such a thing as chickens and dogs. Whatever you want, you can just come to your door and get it. To be a gentleman like this is to lose your status."

"Besides, once a master of the Nine Realms takes action, the people of the other Nine Realms will definitely take action. There is no shortage of masters of the Nine Realms in the divine capital and the imperial palace! I didn't hear that there were people from the Nine Realms coming to the Thirteenth Princess's residence that night. .”

Chu Tang was silent for a moment and said: "Then there is only one truth left!"

Fenghuang's expression turned ugly, and his pretty face slowly turned to Chu Tang, and said in a deep voice: "You mean it was done by someone from the inside, guarding and stealing?"

Chu Tang's eyes were dark and he said: "You can't get in on the ground. Miss Third, you said it's okay underground. Apart from that, Chu can't think of any other possibility."

Fenghuang's face became increasingly ugly and said: "The Thirteenth Princess asked me to check the guards and people who have been in and out of the treasure house, but I found nothing..."

The only ones who can guard against self-stealing are these people.

She didn't find it. According to Chu Tang's theory, she was derelict in her duty. It's strange that she was in a good mood!

Chu Tang said softly: "Has everyone been interrogated?"

Fenghuang said: "There are thirty-six patrols, twenty-four secret guards, and six servants of the housekeeper, a total of sixty-six people. I have done an inventory. They have no chance and no reason to do this." Waiting for something."

Chu Tang shrugged and said: "Third Miss, Chu has been a police officer for several years and handled some cases. The experience he gained is: after eliminating all possibilities, whatever remains, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth!"

Fenghuang was silent for a long time, then stood up and said coldly: "Chu Tang, follow me, let's go see the Thirteenth Princess!"
