134 Overnight
The high sun shone on the imperial city, and even the city walls became scorching, and there were only small shades under the corners. Originally, half of the soldiers guarding the city wall were reduced, and many people sat down in the corners of the wall, and took a few sips of the water in the pot and drank a few sips of the cold water, and then felt better.
It was obviously the beginning of summer, but today the sky suddenly changed, and even the wind blowing by the wicker swaying became hot, and they loosened the armor on their bodies a little, so they felt that they were not so tormented.
All the spirits of the people have been in a state of great tension these days, and they will rush over to investigate whenever there is any wind and grass. Lan Junyao's portrait was still in their hands, and the Nine Emperor Princes had ordered her to be captured alive, and they opened their eyes wide to check the days of contact, but they never found her.
Thinking about this, one of them took the lead in letting out a miserable howl, "Oops", everyone looked over with his voice, only to see him kneeling on the ground with his hands on his stomach, and his face suddenly turned pale. Before they could see what was going on with him, they suddenly felt as if someone was slashing at him with a knife, and they suddenly howled, wringing their stomachs with their hands, and beads of sweat the size of their temples dripped.
They looked at the kettle in front of them, and their faces couldn't help but feel some remorse. Just now, a boy dressed like the Imperial Forest Army personally brought these waters for them, and he had the token of the Nine Emperor Princes in his hand, so they didn't think about it, so they drank the kettle one by one.
At this time, I looked up to find the kid who had just delivered the water, and there was still half a trace of it. They felt that they had fallen for the enemy's scheme, but they felt a heat between their legs, and suddenly a thick stench enveloped half of the city wall, and regardless of the still trembling legs, everyone stood up and ran towards a place.
The soldiers on the tower heard the noise and divided several people to see what was going on, but they saw that many of them were running towards the latrine at the same time. This situation was absolutely wrong, and they hurriedly sent someone to tell the Nine Emperor Princes about the situation.
In a private house opposite the front of the city gate, a gap opened in the gate, and Mo Yi and Lan Junyao picked up the crack in the door, staring at the movement at the city gate without blinking. The person who pretended to be the Imperial Forest Army to deliver water was naturally Mo Yi, and the water was also added by them.
A foul smell wafted in the wind, and both of them covered their mouths and noses at the same time, their foreheads furrowed. Glancing at each other, Lan Junyao chuckled lightly and sent Mo Yi out the back door, while she went back to the house to change her clothes, preparing to arrest the person who had gone to report the news. If Ling Huan knew about this, he would definitely know that they had already come to Gyeonggi, which was absolutely unacceptable.
Today's shore of Biyan Lake is a little uncalm, with ripples on the water and a head popping out of the water from time to time to breathe. Because the Nine Emperor Princes transferred the Imperial Forest Army to various city gates to guard them strictly, it was really difficult to sneak in from the city gates, and if you didn't pay attention, you would startle the snake. In desperation, they had to cross the water from the shore of Biyan Lake to secretly sneak into the palace.
Fortunately, the weather is beautiful today, and the lake is also warm. The palace not far away was already in view, and the men took a long breath and swam faster. It wasn't until he swam to the seat designated by Lan Junyao that he dared to float up from the water. The soldiers guarding the gate were still dozing, and no one was found.
They hurriedly twisted the clothes from their bodies, and the black cloth that covered their faces was soaked and wet against their cheeks. They watched as a small group of patrols approached, and lay in ambush on the side of the river, only to wait for them to approach and knock them unconscious.
Working together, the team was quickly stripped of their clothes, and they simply tied the men together with ropes twisted from black cloth to make sure they would have to break free even if they woke up, and then threw them into the grass and covered them with the dead branches and leaves around them, and they looked in the direction of the main hall.
In this way, in about an hour, all the costumes had been changed, and many naked guards lay in the grass, and gradually some of the people who came after them came out of the water, and when they saw their companions doing so, they could not help but follow suit.
Most of the forces in Gyeonggi were already under Ling Huan's control, and the resources they could mobilize were limited. Therefore, they only have one chance to make a move, and if they fail this time, then they will have to be imprisoned with those people in the main hall, and they will face the danger of their lives at any time.
Rushing overnight, Lan Qingyue and the three of them had also rushed outside the imperial city last night. It's still a place to send off the general, but at this time, there is a feeling that things are wrong. Lan Qingyue still remembered that his sister was standing on this high platform to say goodbye to him, and although he walked far away, he still felt his sister's affectionate gaze.
The three of them left their horses in the dense forest, and at a glance, the three of them all had a sense of being dusty, especially Lan Qingyue, who was as tired as the imprisoned people in the hall. Although she stayed in this dense forest last night to rest, she was just thinking about her family in the city who didn't know what the situation was, and Lan Qingyue couldn't sleep all night.
Above the imperial city, the palace gate was closed, and there were many guards standing densely upstairs, and I am afraid that the situation in front of me is not optimistic. Under the leadership of Lan Qingyue, the two entered the imperial city from the dog cave on the side of the palace, and they rushed all the way to the Xiangfu. The figure rises and falls, in a hurry.
The front of the Lan Mansion was still heavily guarded, eager to know what happened to her father, Lan Qingyue had to take the two of them to touch under an unknown gable on the side of the Lan Mansion. He pushed the wall in front of him with all his might, and when Rat Jiuyi saw it, he immediately stepped forward. With both hands in the position of Lan Qingyue's hands, the two of them joined forces, only to see that the originally integrated wall suddenly opened a gap for one person to pass through.
When they dodged into the Prime Minister's Mansion, they pushed the protruding stone wall back, and from the outside, it looked exactly the same as before. Fortunately, the guards are only at the front gate and the back door, and there is no Royal Forest Army in the house. Lan Qingyue found the housekeeper, only to learn that her parents were caught in the palace by the Nine Emperors, and her sister is still missing.
Thinking of the suffering he had endured on this trip and his imprisoned parents, he was indignant for a moment, so he hurriedly changed his clothes with the two of them, and instructed Lan Zhong to restrain the servants so as not to have unnecessary sacrifices, and they rushed towards the palace.
As they expected, the palace was also heavily defended at the moment, but fortunately, it was difficult to find the way. He took the two of them around to an inaccessible place, and was about to make a hole in the wall for the three of them to pass through, but was pulled by Lan Qingyue, and behind them was Biyan Lake.
Following Lan Qingyue's fingers, they clearly saw the black-clothed figures swimming under the water, and after a little thought, the three of them finally rushed forward in the direction of Biyan Lake.
