Chapter 140: Breaking into the Huaqing Palace at Night (1)
The sky is getting twilight, the lights in the huge imperial city are bright, the sky is covered by a large cloud cluster, the wind blows, the heavy clouds gradually disperse, revealing a few rays of moonlight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Three feet of ice and snow are about to melt, and a wisp of dark fragrance carries a wisp of fragrance in the clear cold wind.
In the Jade Palace, after Gong Ling sent back the Manluo girl, she did not leave in a hurry, but stayed in the Jade Palace to dine with the beauty, and then sat across the chessboard, each playing black and white. Seeing Gong Ling's interest, she didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.
Duan Chengcheng quietly stood in the outer hall of the Jade Palace, looking at the sky outside the skylight that was gradually opening and fogging, and the haze in his heart was also loosened.
Tomorrow should be a good day.
She thought so, and then happily took the knife and quietly left, the opportunity could not be lost, and it would never come again.
When she arrived near Huaqing Palace, Jiang Xiaolou had been waiting for her for a long time, he walked quietly, and patted her shoulder resentfully, "I thought the little emperor was going to turn over your brand, come so slowly......"
"You've just been flipped up, are you tired of it?" Duan Qingcheng's face immediately turned cold, sometimes she hated to sew his mouth shut, and she couldn't even say anything.
"Don't." Jiang Xiaolou smiled awkwardly, "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously." ”
"I don't have time to laugh, take advantage of the emperor's not coming back, hurry up." She said.
"Okay, but what are you going to do this time?" He looked at her innocently, this time he didn't want to burn the fire in the wrong place like he did last time.
She held a pair of cold eyes, this time the action was quite tricky, "I'm afraid I don't have such good luck today, after the fire last time, the defense of this Huaqing Palace has become more tight......"
"Then you have to break through?" Jiang Xiaolou rolled his eyes helplessly, it seemed that he was going to rush forward again today.
"I'm going to lure the guards away as an assassin, and you take advantage of the situation to open the dark compartment under the floor and find the relics." She said.
"You have to challenge a dozen guards by yourself, is it really possible?" He looked at her suspiciously, although her martial arts were very good, but she didn't have the Geyue Sword in her hand, and her strength had plummeted.
"I can't, so you're coming?" She looked up at him, covering her face with a black scarf.
"It's better for you to come, I'm not good at fighting......" Jiang Xiaolou hurriedly refused. I glanced at her a few times by the way, the black scarf on that side was very incompatible with the white clothes on the body, fortunately it was at night, and the vision was not so clear, otherwise it would have aroused suspicion if it was seen.
Jiang Xiaolou turned his face around, snorted twice, and covered his face with a tied black towel by the way.
The two didn't say much and went their separate ways.
In a trance, a white shadow left the nest from the gloom and darkness like a flying swallow, swept over the high platform, and landed lightly on the eaves of the Huaqing Hall on the tip of the toes.
In the darkness, the guards lying in the shadows all smelled the breath of the intruder, and stepped up one after another, and more than a dozen guards poured out, like a big net, instantly besieging the man in white.
Duan Qingcheng was silent, in the dark night, only her eyes were as cold as ice, and she was holding a knife that was not visible, and the outside of the knife was deliberately wrapped in a layer of black veil. The knife is not sheathed, but the killing machine has sprouted.
The guards no longer held their place to defend themselves, but took the initiative to show their weapons to the uninvited guest, and attacked her in unison. She only held the knife in her hand, using her palm as her strength and her scabbard as a block, but she did not take the initiative to attack, but fought and retreated.
In the dark night, a faint ray of moonlight fell from the sky, and a white shadow was faintly seen, and in less than a moment, the vast night engulfed her figure in an instant.
Although her light skills are not as good as Jiang Xiaolou's, there is no problem in dealing with these guards for the time being, it depends on how much time she can buy for Jiang Xiaolou......
Jiang Xiaolou couldn't help but sweat for her, this time it was not like the last time, opportunistic tricks were done, this time the city was a real hard hit, and the degree of danger could be imagined.
He didn't hesitate much, and entered the hall while Duan Chengcheng was luring people away. There were only a few palace maids and eunuchs guarding the hall, and they were knocked unconscious by him before they could call for help.
He followed the direction that Allure had said, trying to remove his nervousness, carefully tapping every tile on the ground.
Until that empty and deep sound came through his finger bones, he couldn't help but make his heartstrings move, this is it.
He took a general look at the gaps around this floor tile, and unconsciously raised his eyebrows, if it was forcibly activated, it would not be the secret room secret compartment that would be opened, but the hidden weapon......
He grabbed a knife from his sleeve, cut it along the gap, and then carefully lifted the corner of the floor tiles. He took a closer look, and there was a dense silk thread attached to a small floor tile, and he tentatively cut one, and three feathered arrows suddenly broke through the wall, and he dodged sideways, and the arrows fell straight at his feet.
He suddenly understood that these wires were connected to various mechanisms, and if he accidentally broke them all, he would definitely become a hornet's nest today.
Without much thought, he took a slender iron wire, bent one end into a hook, and cautiously reached into it to hook up the small brass ring on the mechanism. As the small brass ring was pulled, there was movement on the opposite wall, and a small dark compartment was gradually opened, and a small brocade box was contained inside.
Jiang Xiaolou resisted the mechanism with a wire and a knife, and only after making sure that it would not collapse down did he dare to get up and take the box in the dark grid.
He took the box without hesitation, but what he didn't expect was that the box had just been taken down, only to hear countless sounds of sharp weapons breaking through the air, he looked back at it, countless small arrows broke through the wall from all directions, he was shocked, he didn't expect this mechanism to be two-way, this is bad!
In another place, a group of guards had been chasing Duan Qingcheng at first, and she had been fighting with him for miles away, but the knife in her hand had never been sheathed. The guards gradually felt that something was wrong, and half of them stopped fighting with her, and retreated in the direction of Huaqing Palace.
Duan Qingcheng saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to step forward to stop those people, but when she turned around, she saw someone walking on the road not far away, she was shocked, that Gong Ling, who was originally talking and playing chess with the beauty in the Jade Palace, was also walking towards the Huaqing Palace.
There was no room for her to think about it any longer, she flew and swept away the encirclement of several guards, and in the darkness of the night, her figure seemed to be blown up by the wind, and a few ups and downs were already far away.
Seeing this, the guards rose up and chased after them, but no matter how they chased them, they were always far from the speed of the person who rode the wind and fell, and in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Xiaolou was forced to the root of the wall by a hidden weapon in the inner hall, and the slender soul-chasing chain in his hand waved, and his body was martial, and the chain flew in the air like a snake, forming an unbreakable enchantment, and countless flying arrows were smashed in half by the chain and fell to the ground.
Before he could retreat from the hell of this arrow, he saw a frightening shadow flash, and he lifted him to the inner hall.
"Allure?"
"Say no more! Gong Ling has returned, hurry up and leave! She tore off the black scarf on her face, revealing her cold and outstanding face, and her expression was extremely solemn.
But as soon as her words fell, a cold sword shadow suddenly stabbed towards her, and she took the opportunity to push Jiang Xiaolou away, "Take something and leave!" ”
After finishing speaking, the two-foot Qingfeng sword qi had already swept past the corners of her eyes, cut off half of the green silk, and fell to the ground leisurely.
Jiang Xiaolou was pushed away by Duan Chengcheng, although he was eager, he didn't dare to stay longer, he resolutely retreated from the back door of the inner hall.
Now he can only listen to Allure's words, it is better to take the relics and leave first, if the little emperor comes back, he will only cause her more trouble if he stays. (To be continued.) )
