286. 286: The Shadow of the Deep Palace
"That's right, Lord Wang, this is the imperial study room for discussing important matters in the Southern Kite Imperial City." He is the regent's secret guard, and his martial arts are so strong that he doesn't look at these royal guards at all.
But this time he miscalculated, before he approached the imperial study, he was suddenly hit by a cold arrow, and he didn't even see the other party's face clearly, he was scratched by the opponent's arrow several times, this time, he really met a strong opponent.
"If it's just an ordinary discussion of political affairs, why is Yan Mo so strict?" Qin Yan couldn't understand that Yan Mo's purpose for doing this was a little obvious!
Did he do it on purpose, or was it meant to be?
"It's true that my subordinates also feel that something is wrong, I went to the cold palace a few days ago, and I secretly heard those old palace maids talk about some things, but those should be just crazy women's nonsense, and they didn't take it seriously." The crazy woman actually said that Yan Mo, the current emperor of the Southern Kite Kingdom, has always been in love with a woman, but has never included her in the harem, every time he misses, he will paint a portrait of that woman, and almost the entire imperial study is a portrait of that woman.
Therefore, such a reason is more appropriate to the fact that the imperial study is now heavily guarded.
But let's ask, an emperor above 10,000 people, what woman will not be able to get, what worries can he have, dare not let that woman enter the palace, not to mention the ruthless Yan Mo, the cold-faced emperor who everyone in the court is afraid of.
Suzaku mentioned it casually, and Qin Yan didn't take it to heart, after all, he also lived in the palace since he was a child, and he never approached the cold palace, but he also knew that it was normal for people to stay there and not have a few brains.
"There is another thing, the subordinates think it is more credible, I have been mixed in a group of palace people who clean the imperial study, I heard that there is a secret pavilion in this imperial study, which stores the rare treasures collected by the emperors of the past dynasties from all over the country, this will lead the heavy guards outside the imperial study, so the subordinates guess that the county lord cannot be found anywhere in the palace, will it be hidden here?" Such a reason is more logical.
"Dark Pavilion?" Qin Yan sighed, "It shouldn't be, Han Nuo is still so young, she needs someone to take care of her at any time, Yan Mo will not treat her badly, there must be someone to serve her, even if the things in the secret pavilion of the imperial study are complete, you have observed in the past few days, it can be seen that someone has sent children's supplies in?" ”
After thinking about it, Suzaku shook his head, "That's really not true. ”
"It's certain that Han Nuo must be somewhere in the palace, but we just ignored it, but since Yan Mo is so nervous here, there must be something important in the imperial study, maybe it can also help this trip, even if he can't find Han Nuo, he can grab Yan Mo's handle, so that he doesn't dare to act rashly." Qin Yan has always been Qin Yan, a regent who points to the world, and he always has to make a surprise after that.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates are willing to go." Leng Lonely proposed to explore the Imperial City of Southern Kite at night.
Leng Silent has always lived the days of licking blood from the knife, and every time he performs, he may die, but he is used to it.
I heard Suzaku say just now, this is a thing that makes people hear what a bloody thing, a Southern Kite Palace, so deeply hidden, the violent factor in his body is about to move, I really want to see it, the so-called master of masters.
"The prince's subordinates are also willing to go again! This time, we will definitely be able to find the whereabouts of the little county lord. "There has never been a mission in which he has failed like this, and this time it was a big failure in his life.
"You're so badly injured that you can recuperate." Qin Yan naturally wouldn't let him work so hard.
But Suzaku didn't give up, "This map was drawn by a subordinate, and no one present knows the route better than me." ”
"It's enough to have your map."
"Lord Wang!"
"Okay, there is no need to discuss this matter again, this king will find the right person to explore again." Qin Yan's words carried a sense of indisobedience.
"There is no need to fight about this matter, Suzaku, your injury has not healed, I can go with Leng Lone, that is my daughter, I should do the duty of a father." You can't stand behind everything, and let Qin Yan's careful deployment become a matter of course.
That's his daughter! He will definitely bring her back with his own hands.
Qin Yan nodded, this was the best decision.
In the past few days, Suzaku has been hiding from Wu Ying, afraid that she will be worried, so he didn't plan to let her know about tomorrow night's actions.
After carefully studying the map in the cold room, the two already had a tacit understanding.
After nightfall, both of them changed into night clothes and sneaked into the palace to find out.
"Do everything according to your ability, you can't have anything, otherwise you know what will happen to you."
"Of course!" Yu Hongchou replied loudly, what could he do.
At the time of the third watch, there was silence on the street, and the two of them went to the first line of defense of the city.
Standing outside the high wall of dozens of feet, as long as you cross this high wall, it is the backyard of the palace. And on top of the high wall, there is a battalion of elite guards of the Royal Forest Army.
However, these are not difficult things for the two of them, not to mention that Suzaku's map is drawn extremely accurately, and even when the guards will change shifts, it is very clear.
"You go this way, I'll go over there."
Yu Hongchou stopped Leng Leng, "This time it's you who help me, don't take this risk, then the imperial study should also be me going." ”
"Hey, I said, why do you want to get ahead of me!"
"You see what Suzaku looks like."
Leng Lonely pouted, "That only shows that his skills are not as good as others." Suddenly, he said with a serious face: "Since Hong Chip is coming out together, let's go back together, I'll cover for you, I'll lure out the person who secretly released cold arrows, and you take the opportunity to sneak into the imperial study to find out." ”
"No, it's too dangerous."
"Nothing dangerous, not dangerous." Leng Silent said, took the first step, jumped out of dozens of meters, and deliberately made some movement in the direction of the imperial study.
Yu Hongchou had no choice but to wait for an opportunity in the dark, and sure enough, it didn't take long for a commotion outside the imperial study.
"There are assassins!"
"Protect the Emperor!"
"Quickly protect the emperor, thief, please don't tie your hands yet!"
It was at this time that the guards in the imperial study were the most lax, but Yu Hongchou didn't know if the person who injured Suzaku had also chased after Leng Lonely, and he didn't dare to take it lightly for a moment.
When he jumped to the roof of the imperial study, there was no abnormality around, and he carefully removed the tiles under his feet, and sure enough, he saw the brightly lit inner room of the imperial study.
"What's going on out there?" On the dragon chair, the man was calm and undisturbed by external factors.
The palace people on duty at night hurriedly announced, "The emperor doesn't need to worry, he is just a yellow-haired thief, he can be caught soon, and it is not too early, does the emperor want to rest sooner?" ”
"En" the emperor made a sound from his nasal cavity.
"Your Majesty, this is the sign presented by the imperial study tonight." The steward presented a tray with dozens of wooden signs.
