Chapter 229: The Night of the Chu Palace

At the end of June, the weather became hotter and hotter, looking from the street of Dongdajie to the end of the street, there were almost no people, only the strong green on both sides slightly reduced the scorching heat, but the knowledge on the trees was desperately croaking from the daytime, until it was dark and rested.

The Chu Wang's Mansion at the end of the East Street is closed all day, since the illness of the King of Chu is more serious than one day later, the **** of visiting the sick is reduced, and now even the side door is closed during the day, and occasionally there are guests who come to visit and need to hand over the sticker in advance, and send someone to call the door to enter when they come.

The second watch of this day has passed, and it is the time when the whole city falls asleep at night.

The side door of the Chu Palace, which had been closed, quietly opened, and a thin man figure flashed out from the door, looking like he was dressed like the gatehouse of the palace, and after he stood outside the door and looked left and right a few times, his square mouth opened and made a sound similar to that of a wild cat.

Suddenly, two groups of people came out of the woods on both sides of the street outside the mansion, about 100 people, although they were wearing the clothes of the king's subordinates, they were extremely agile in their movements, and they were obviously not ordinary people.

The porter saw the two teams of people coming to the door quickly, and he was a little alert at first, but when he saw the leader of the team by the light of the lantern on the side door, his heart fell down, and he turned around and gently pushed the side door open, and let himself go aside.

However, the leader of the group did not go in, but only took the person behind him to move a few steps to the side and make way for a passage, and then another person came out of the middle of the group, this person was tall and thin, and handsome.

The porter looked up, his face was upright, and he bowed and said, "The eldest son." ”

The person known as the eldest prince nodded and asked, "Cha Renhuan has not returned from the house"

This person is Zhao Yunjin, the eldest prince of the Chu Palace, who has never returned to the Chu Mansion since he let Zhao Xian and others leave the nameless island that day.

Although the Jiaolong Gang has been closely watched by the government in recent days, and the city of Xiang** is also very tightly defended, presumably the imperial court will soon send troops to attack the Jiaolong Gang on the nameless island, but on the surface, he is still the eldest son of the Chu Wangfu, and he can't fight with the Jiaolong Gang. In fact, except for a few people, almost no one knew that he was the leader of the Jiaolong Gang, and those who knew his true identity would not publicize it for their own purposes.

His eyes are all over the palace, so that even if he is not in the palace, he does not know everything in the palace. Because of this, the eldest prince of the Chu Palace, returned to his palace very freely at this time.

The porter who opened the door had already been bought by him, and at this moment, when he saw Zhao Yunjin asking about the car in the palace, he hurriedly replied in a low voice: "The royal official will go out of the city every month to do errands, and he will come back the next day." And today, after Tai** fell from the mountain, he left the house and has not returned. ”

Zhao Yunjin sneered in his heart, he had already guessed where Che Renhuan had gone, and he had already sent someone to set up an ambush on the way he would come back outside the city, Cha Renhuan would not return today, if he returned to the city, someone would block him outside the city, and do everything he could to make him unable to enter the city tonight, lest the person who made him most jealous would return to his house and harm him.

Zhao Yunjin's question about Cha Renhuan's whereabouts is nothing more than a reconfirmation, which is very in line with his suspicious ** feelings.

Seeing that the porter's answer was consistent with the situation he had mastered, Zhao Yunjin didn't ask any more, and looked up at the plaque hanging high above the main entrance, the gilded plaque in the dark seemed to enter his eyes with a faint golden light, and at that moment, Zhao Yunjin's eyes flashed with a trace of light, and it only disappeared into the depths of his eyes in an instant.

**After that, he retracted his gaze, his face was as usual, his hands were behind his back, and he walked into the side door of the palace.

Li Chuhe, who led the team behind him, waved his hand, and the two teams that followed immediately merged into one team and entered the Chu Palace's mansion in unison.

After passing through the double door, he came to a ** open space, Zhao Yunjin stopped, he looked in a certain direction from a distance, his face was hidden in the dark, and he was silent for a long time, as if he was waiting for something.

Li Chuhe, who followed closely behind, saw that Zhao Yunjin stopped, and immediately stopped, only made a gesture, and the group of people who were originally following behind him immediately dispersed in an orderly manner, each looking for a dark place to hide.

At this moment, there seemed to be a night breeze blowing, and the branches not far away shook slightly, but suddenly returned to calm, after the wind stopped, Zhao Yunjin had one more person in front of him, his appearance was extremely ordinary, and he was also wearing a suit of clothes from the house.

The figure was so fast that even Zhao Yunjin had already appeared before he could see it clearly, Zhao Yunjin smiled and said in a low voice: "Congratulations to the fifth senior brother on taking another level of phantom skills." ”

The person known as the Fifth Senior Brother had an indifferent expression, and said lightly: "The three of them have already crouched in the place agreed before, and there is no change in the situation now. ”

Zhao Yunjin nodded and said, "There are a few senior brothers." ”

The fifth senior brother said again: "I should protect you in the dark." After saying that, his figure flickered, and he disappeared again.

Zhao Yunjin's heart was relieved, he knew that although his five senior brothers were not very close to people, they were really good at kung fu, especially good at sneak attacks and secret calculations, and they were most suitable for attacking others by surprise in the dark.

Several other senior brothers also have their own strengths, even if they have lost the help of Tao Tieseng and Liu Sanke at present, but with the help of several senior brothers, the odds of winning tonight will increase by a few percent.

Thinking that after tonight, the palace would fall into his hands, and the people in the palace would be at his disposal, he couldn't help but show a sneer on his face, turned to Li Chuhe and said, "Go ahead"

Li Chuhe responded: "Yes", silently took a few steps back, and made a few gestures extremely quickly in the dark.

The people who were originally hidden in the shadows flashed out quickly, but this time they were divided into several teams, leaving only a team of about twenty people to protect Zhao Yunjin, and the rest of the people, including Li Chuhe, all went in different directions in the mansion.

Zhao Yunjin's eyes looked in a certain direction in the mansion again, and a strange god of unknown origin appeared on his face**, like resentment and excitement, with the strange god**, he walked quickly through the secluded woods and paths in the mansion, and came to a rockery in a short time.

Zhao Yunjin dodged behind the rockery, there was a person standing behind him, Zhao Yunjin asked in a low voice: "How"

The man hurriedly replied, "He has not come out since he went into the study after dinner." ”

Zhao Yunjin asked again: "You can look carefully"

The man replied, "The men have not been staring at the door of the study since they saw him enter, and they have not seen him take a step out of the door until this moment." With that, he pointed to a few large trees nearby, on which their people were still lurking.

When Zhao Yunjin heard this, he nodded slightly, and looked at a courtyard a few feet away, which was where Zhao Yunsheng lived.

The courtyard is a little far away from the center of the palace, a little remote, but the view inside and outside the courtyard is excellent. At this time, the gate of the courtyard was closed, and the lanterns hanging high outside the gate in the past had not been lit, only a few lights leaking out of the crack in the courtyard gate showed that the courtyard was still lit.

Zhao Yunjin frowned and stared at the door of the courtyard for a moment, and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He suddenly exerted his strength, swept up the nearest big tree, looked into the courtyard, only looked at it intently, he secretly felt bad in his heart, and with a force on his waist, he had jumped down, and flew towards the courtyard, only a few ups and downs had jumped into the courtyard, and a team of people behind him immediately jumped in.

The voice alarmed the two guards guarding the door of the study, and they shouted, "Who?"

Before the words fell, the two fell softly in front of the door, and a puddle of blood spurted out of each person's throat.

The people in the study seemed to hear the movement outside, and asked in a loud voice, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Yunjin waved his hand, and the person behind him quickly took a few steps forward and pushed the door open, only to see the candlelight in the study bright, and a person standing tall, dressed in white, was slowly turning around and looking at the door.

He was not surprised when he saw the guards outside the door who had obviously choked his breath, only raised his eyes slightly, and then swept his eyes to Zhao Yunjin, who was pacing, with no shock on his face.

Zhao Yunjin walked to a distance of two feet from him and stood still, and said sarcastically: "Yunsheng, don't come to harm."

Zhao Yunsheng snorted coldly: "I don't know what happened when the eldest brother came in the middle of the night."
