Xiao Bing observed quietly in the dark. It was almost midnight, but these people did not have a chance to take a nap. So an idea came to him. He quietly sneaked under the bridge, grabbed the edge of the bridge with both hands, and swung to the other end of the bridge like a monkey.
The bridge was at least 200 meters long, and the edge was very small. He had to hold it tightly with his fingers. Even a master at the peak of Transforming-strength would not be able to cross such a bridge. But Xiao Bing had the power to break through the void, so this trouble was not a problem for him.
After crossing the bridge, Xiao Bing stretched his arms and quietly sneaked into the Kokyo. The guards at the gate did not even see Xiao Bing passing by them like a shadow.
There was a sentry every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. Only people who had reached Xiao Bing's level could come and go freely here. If it were someone who had just stepped into the Innate Realm, he would have been discovered as soon as he crossed the bridge. It was absolutely impossible to sneak in so unnoticed. Even if he had reached the Gang-strength Stage, he would need a careful plan, and he would not be discovered like Xiao Bing.
Relying on his wind-like speed, Xiao Bing almost did not look for any cover and directly entered a hall. There was no one in the hall. At the top was a golden throne. It seemed that this should be a conference hall in the royal family. So it was unlikely that a living person would be locked here. Xiao Bing walked around inside and quietly left.
Although the whole Kokyo was not as big as the Summer Palace in Cathaysian State, it was not small either. It was almost impossible to search all the places in one night, unless one was skimming the flowers on horseback. In fact, it was impossible. Xiao Bing mainly looked for whether there were any cellars or basements. In fact, Xiao Bing also thought of another problem. Could it be that the two people were not locked in the Kokyo at all? In fact, this was also a possibility. If that was the case, he could only follow Princess Nami and continue to look for clues.
Xiao Bing spent more than three hours searching most of the places in the Kokyo, but there were two palaces that he did not enter. One was the Kokyo, which was said to be the place where the emperor lived. As soon as Xiao Bing walked to the steps outside the Kokyo, he felt many unusual auras inside. Although those auras were weaker than Xiao Bing's, they were also very strong and strange. It was difficult for Xiao Bing to go in without being discovered.
The other place was the hall closest to the Kokyo. The aura in it was more terrifying than that of the Kokyo. Xiao Bing even faintly felt that the strength of the person inside could almost threaten him.
After a night of nothing, Xiao Bing could only quietly leave the Kokyo before he was discovered. He went back the way he came. When he returned to the hotel, the sky began to brighten.
If Xiao Bing left a little later, once it was dawn, it would be difficult for him to not be discovered even with his current strength. After all, Xiao Bing was a human, not a god. Even if he broke the void and reached the peak of human martial arts, he was not really out of the scope of human beings.
Xiao Bing was somewhat looking forward to the legendary state of immortality, but that state was only a rumor. Some people said that Patriarch Bodhidharma had reached it, but in the end, didn't he die? It could be seen that people would die eventually. Even the so-called immortality might not really be immortal. But that was just Xiao Bing's guess. Before he reached it, Xiao Bing was still full of yearning and expectation for the state of immortality.
Thinking of the strong aura he felt in the Kokyo last night, Xiao Bing finally understood what Monitor said. He could not underestimate these people of R Country. Although this was a small place compared to Cathaysian State, R Country had worshiped martial arts since ancient times. Maybe their martial arts could not be compared with Cathaysian State, but there must be some hidden masters among them.
Although Xiao Bing was strong, this was a country after all. A person could not fight against a country no matter how strong he was. So for the time being, it seemed that he could only carry out the original plan, which was to lurk around the princess.
Xiao Bing did not sleep all night. He lay in bed at four o 'clock in the morning and slept until ten o' clock in the morning. Carrying his simple small backpack and a long knife, he checked out at the front desk and took a taxi to the Sakura Manor where the princess lived.
Taxis were not allowed to enter the manor. After Xiao Bing paid the fare, he walked to the door and was immediately stopped by two guards with long guns. They even aimed at Xiao Bing and said, "Stop."
Xiao Bing took out the waist tag and showed it to them. He said, "I am Aoki Ichiro, the personal warrior of Her Royal Highness."
The two hurriedly took the guns and gave a military salute. One of them also said to the walkie-talkie, "Mr. Aoki Ichiro, the personal warrior of Her Royal Highness, is here. Open the door and let him in immediately."
It could be seen from their eyes that they were full of respect for Xiao Bing. When the door was opened, the two said apologetically, "Sorry, Mr. Aoki. It's my duty."
Xiao Bing nodded and said with a smile, "It's normal. You have to fulfill your duty, and I have to fulfill my duty. Fulfilling duty is the duty of a soldier. Then I'll go in first."
"Mr. Aoki, please come in. In addition, Mr. Aoki should always carry the waist tag when you go in and out."
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Okay!"
Xiao Bing walked into the yard and was stunned for a moment. "Wow, it's so beautiful!"
There were cherry blossoms everywhere in the manor. Even an iron-blooded man like Xiao Bing felt a little intoxicated in this world of flowers.
"Her Royal Highness named this manor. She also asked people to plant these cherry blossoms. The whole manor is full of cherry blossoms. She likes them very much." A young man in his twenties with a fair face said to Xiao Bing. He didn't look tall.
Xiao Bing looked at him and he immediately introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Eguchi Nakayama. Usually, when there is a small matter in the manor, I am asked to do by Her Royal Highness. The important matters are handled by Director Takahashi."
Xiao Bing nodded and asked, "Did Her Royal Highness ask you to come here?"
"Yes." Eguchi Nakayama looked very kind. "Her Royal Highness asked me to come and pick you up."
"Well, lead the way."
Eguchi Nakayama walked in front and Xiao Bing followed him.
"Because of the dense population in Jingdong, it is very difficult to have a manor of your own. Even in the royal family, few people have this kind of treatment. So the Mikado loves Her Royal Highness very much. Although Her Royal Highness doesn't have royal blood, she is no less favored than any other princess or prince in the royal family. "
Xiao Bing looked at the huge manor and said with emotion, "I can see that."
"In addition, Her Royal Highness' grandfather is the top warrior in the country. He also loves Her Royal Highness. It can be said that although Her Royal Highness is a little capricious, she has a reason and the capital to be capricious. Even the Prime Minister of the country has to give Her Royal Highness some face."
Xiao Bing secretly sighed in his heart. It was so good to have a powerful elder who loved her. The Prime Minister was not giving face to the princess. He just didn't want to offend her two grandfathers too much.
"I heard that Mr. Aoki is very powerful. Last night, you were praised by General Manager Takahashi. General Manager Takahashi specially praised Mr. Aoki's martial cultivation and psychological quality in front of Her Royal Highness. I hope Her Royal Highness can forgive you."
Xiao Bing smiled. This general manager was a very competent general manager. It was a pity that he met such a spoiled master.
Eguchi Nakayama continued, "The general manager manages the operation of the entire manor. In the Sakura Manor, apart from Her Royal Highness, the general manager has the most authority. And the general manager's martial cultivation seems to be very high. But I don't know much about it. Do you know what I know, Mr. Aoki? "
Xiao Bing said, "I don't know."
"I know. Since this manor belongs to Her Royal Highness, we just need to follow her orders. If Her Royal Highness says it is right, then it is right. If Her Royal Highness says it is wrong, then it is wrong. In the whole of Country R, no matter how powerful a samurai you are, you can't fight against the royal family. Although the royal family has declined, there are still too many masters. It's almost a matter of minutes for them to kill someone. I don't mean anything by saying this. I just hope that Mr. Aoki will be careful in the future. Don't provoke Her Royal Highness. Now that you are here, no matter who you used to be, she will be our common master from now on. "
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Is this advice?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll keep it in mind." Xiao Bing asked, "How much longer do we have to walk?"
"We'll be there soon." A mysterious smile appeared on Eguchi Nakayama's face. There was an iron gate in front of them. Eguchi Nakayama pushed the gate open and was the first to walk in. Xiao Bing followed him. It was a spacious yard that could accommodate hundreds of people. The yard was surrounded by high walls. The heavy iron gate was the only exit. Besides, there was a tall building on top of the wall. There seemed to be two soldiers standing guard on top of the building.
Eguchi Nakayama said, "Her Royal Highness, please wait here for a moment. She will be here soon."
After that, Eguchi Nakayama left quietly. Then Xiao Bing heard the iron gate close with a loud bang. At the same time, he heard the sound of chains being locked. Xiao Bing looked back and saw that the iron gate had been locked from the outside.
A sneer appeared on Xiao Bing's face. "Interesting."
