The biggest trouble came from Monobe Kazuki himself, who still didn't believe that the Empress of the Japanese Slave Kingdom would be bad for him.

Li You called Wang Xuance back, asking him to find out the conspiracy of the empress of the Japanese slave kingdom and others today and tomorrow, and break the illusion of Monobe Kazuki about the empress.

At the same time, call back Kumiko Monobe and ask her to continue to do the work of Kazuki Monobe.

Kyo Fujiwara.

When night falls, the spring breeze is gentle, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, and the night of Fujiwarakyo is quiet and serene.

Monobe Akimoto's mood became more and more nervous.

Yesterday, he went to look for his merchant friends, including the merchants who usually provided supplies to the concierge inn, and he hoped to be able to follow some of them into the residence of the Tang Dynasty mission.

However, to his disappointment, although these merchants still provided supplies to the concierge hostel, the concierge did not let them deliver the goods themselves, and people sent people to their stores to buy the goods.

The road was broken again.

However, Monobe Akimoto finally heard a good news - the protocol department was going to hold a farewell banquet for Prince Chihanai, and the location was chosen in the prince's mansion. He decided to find an opportunity to sneak into the prince's palace tomorrow and report the news to the people of the Tang Dynasty mission.

Guest house.

Gao Henian found a thin and agile guard from Monobe Kazuki's guard, and followed him to find Monobe Akimoto.

After careful observation, Gao Henian discovered a way to avoid the surveillance of the Japanese slaves.

The south of the concierge guest house is the guest house area, and the northeast is the office area, and there are many people watching them outside the guest house, but the office area is much more relaxed. Gao Henian and the others prepared to sneak into the office area first and go out from the courtyard wall behind the office area.

At one o'clock in the morning, there was a quarrel at the gate of the courtyard of the Tang Dynasty mission, and then two soldiers started to fight, and the other soldiers followed suit, and the movement was very loud.

There are also people in charge of monitoring in the office area, but they can't imagine that anyone will come to the office area, and the monitoring is lax and the number of people is small.

There was a dispute at the gate of the courtyard of the Tang Dynasty mission, and the person in charge of monitoring focused their attention on the gate of that courtyard.

At this moment, Gao Henian and others climbed up the wall from the corner of the wall, they took a closer look and found nothing abnormal, so they got off the wall and quickly ran through the open space in the middle of the two courtyards, and came to the wall of the office area.

Gao Henian jumped onto the wall, stretched out his hand and pulled the guard up, and then entered the office area together.

As the management body of the guest house, this is not an important department of the imperial court, and the guard is very lax, except that there are two guards at the gate of the courtyard. The courtyard was unusually quiet,

Gao Henian and others smoothly walked through the office area and came to the northeast corner of the office area. When they climbed up the fence and looked at it, they were dumbfounded, and there was a wide pond below.

Gao Henian lay on the wall in a daze.

The guard admired Gao Henian's skills very much, and didn't understand why he was in a daze here. Speaking in half-baked Chinese, he whispered, "My lord, go down." ”

Gao Henian couldn't cry or laugh, although he has a superb martial arts, but he has lived in the northwest region since he was a child and can't swim.

The guard was different, he had lived by the sea since he was a child, and he had a good water nature.

It is said that after arriving here, the guard can go to Monobe Akimoto by himself, but he is just an ordinary guard, he does not have the ability to detect and counter-detect, his own martial arts are average, he is not sure that he can pass those checkpoints on the road by himself, he needs Gao Henian to guard.

The guard saw that the pond was about 50 paces wide and that it would take about two minutes to cross it, so he asked Gao how long he could hold his breath.

This is not a problem for Gao Henian, the martial arts he practices include breath-holding kung fu, and there is no problem if he doesn't breathe for three minutes.

The guard said that he could swim over with Gao Henian, and let Gao Henian lay down after entering the water, not struggle, and hold his breath to avoid choking. Gao Henian's heart was crossed, and he followed him down the wall and into the pond.

After Gao Henian entered the water, he stretched out his hands and feet to lay his body flat, and his right hand grabbed the guard's shirt and swam forward with him.

Gao Henian and the others finally arrived at the shore, they didn't change their clothes, their bodies were wet, and they felt very cold in the night wind, Gao Henian was okay, he was full of martial arts, this cold was nothing, but the guard was so cold that he shivered vigorously.

The guard followed Monobe Kazuki to Fujiwara Kyo for a short time, and had a general understanding of Fujiwara Kyo's path, and under the leadership of Gao Henian, the two avoided a lot of checkpoints and secret whistles, and finally came to the southeast Sanjo where Monobe Akimoto was located.

Monobe Akimoto stretched out behind enemy lines, and his vigilance was very high, and he would sleep with one eye open. His sleep was light, and the slightest movement would wake him up.

Suddenly, without hearing any movement, his mouth was covered, and he woke up, and by the faint moonlight, he saw a masked man in black crouching in front of him, a bright dagger on his neck.

After all, Monobe Akimoto was a spy officer, and he kept his calm and did not rush to struggle.

At this time, another man in black came in from outside the window, and he whispered, "Don't be afraid. Is it Monobe Akimoto? ”

Monobe Akimoto nodded.

The man said, "I was sent by His Majesty the Kingdom of Kyushu." ”

Monobe Akimoto nodded again.

Gao Henian saw that he understood, so he let him go.

Monobe Akimoto sat up, he carefully asked the identity of the guard, and after confirming it, the feeling of seeing his relatives made his nose sour, and tears welled up at once.

He said eagerly: "Hurry up and report to Your Majesty, the Japanese slaves are going to attack Your Majesty and the people of the Tang Dynasty Mission." ”

Immediately, he spoke of what he knew.

Gao Henian couldn't understand what they were saying, so he went to the window to check the sky and urged them to leave.

The guard let Monobe Akimoto continue to lurk, and he left with Gao Henian and went back to his life.

Monobe Akimoto looked at their disappearing backs, and felt extremely comforted in his heart. He now learned that the Tang Dynasty army was coming, and at that time, he would no longer have to live in hiding and worrying, and he was full of expectations for life under the new sun.

He came to his wife, who slept with his daughters in the inner room, hugged them without saying a word, and kissed them on the face.

At the end of the fifth watch, Gao Henian and the guard followed the same road and returned to the station of the Tang Dynasty mission.

Osaka Bay.

Coincidentally, on this night, the commander of the Uno Coast Guard personally took a loach speedboat and came to the vicinity of the Tang Dynasty fleet.
