In the inner city, when the army turned to the outer city to search for it, it became quiet. Before dawn, the night became darker and darker, and the streets and alleys were in a mess, and after the large group of soldiers and horses walked by, the streets were full of horse dung and horse urine, trampled by the soldiers and horses, and made the smell of bad smell everywhere.

The checkpoints on the streets are still there, but there are not many soldiers guarding the checkpoints anymore, and most of them have been mobilized to search the outer city. As Lin Jue and the others saw, in addition to the soldiers and horses in front of the palace, in addition to the guards and horses of dozens of city gates in the inner and outer cities, in addition to the necessary forbidden troops, nearly 100,000 forbidden troops were mobilized in order to encircle Lin Jue's convoy of 1,000 people.

On the long street, the wind lanterns that are as dark as ghost fire flicker and shine. A horse galloped by, like a black lightning bolt. A few soldiers at a few levels tried to stop them, but immediately the knight's blades flew with great momentum, and they were scattered. The rejection horse, which was several feet high, was not an obstacle in front of the black steed, and it leaped over. The soldiers did not dare to fight hard in their bluffs, so they could only look at the backs of one man and one horse and curse indiscriminately.

It only took half an hour, and in the thick shade of the trees in front of me, a brightly lit and splendid mansion was in front of me. There is the prime minister's mansion of Lu Zhongtian, the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is a luxurious mansion that occupies between two main streets and does not have any houses next to it.

A man and a horse stopped in the woods, and immediately the knight jumped off the horse, patted the black horse on the shoulder and neck, and whispered, "Snowflake, good job." Stay here, I'll do it. ”

The black horse shook his head and rubbed his tail against the knight's shoulder, and the knight smiled, and turned and walked through the woods to the edge. He looked around for a moment, looked up at the big tree beside him, and suddenly jumped up, like a tanuki, he had already climbed the tree. After a while, a pretty face peeked out from the dense shade at the top of the canopy. This person is Bai Bing, who came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to arrest people.

It is not the first time that Bai Bing of the Prime Minister's Mansion has come here, when Lin Jue's death list was set, Bai Bing himself had come here to step on it. But it is clear that the Prime Minister's Mansion is not an easy place to sneak into. Lu Zhongtian paid special attention to his own safety, and in addition to the soldiers and horses in his prime minister's mansion, there were also a large number of Jianghu figures as guards to protect the safety of him and his family.

Bai Bing once fought with the Zuo brothers in the Xiangfu, and the Zuo brothers were just second-rate characters in the Xiangfu, and the real masters were actually by Lu Zhongtian's side. That day, in the green valley of the West Mountain, Bai Bing wanted to kill the leader of the attack, but he was repelled by a masked old man beside him. The old man's martial arts are by no means below him. It can be seen from this that the characters in the rivers and lakes around these people are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and they must not be taken lightly.

But the current situation is much better, before he came, the husband said that Lu Zhongtian will not be in the mansion tonight, as long as he is not in the mansion, there will be many fewer masters and guards in the mansion. Those real masters are all around Lu Zhongtian. Therefore, although tonight's Prime Minister's Mansion is still heavily guarded, it is not out of the woods.

Bai Bing gasped for a moment, jumped off the tree, and touched dozens of steps in front of the prime minister's mansion under the cover of the shade and shadow. But I saw that the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion was closed, and a bright lantern was hung in front of the door. Above the tall gatehouse and the surrounding wall, shadows seem to be hovering. The trees around the Xiangfu are dense, but there is a circle of open space nearly ten zhang to the left of the wall, and it is absolutely impossible to enter the Xiangfu from the top of the trees. If you are in a clearing outside the wall, you may be spotted by the guards on the courtyard wall or on the watchtower.

Just when Bai Bing was thinking to no avail and was about to try to forcibly test it, suddenly, the sound of carriages and horses was heard in the distance, and it seemed that someone was coming from the side avenue. Bai Bing quickly moved behind a big tree on the east side of the road, and saw a dozen horsemen escorting a carriage from the street.

Bai Bing had an idea and was ready to go. When the carriage passes by the tree, Bai Bing will throw a stone right in front of a horse's head. The horse neighed in surprise and jumped. More than a dozen horsemen asked what was going on. The knight scolded and restrained the horse, and at last the pain had passed, and the horse returned to normal.

"This beast seems to be about to lose his temper again. It's okay, it's okay. "The knight said.

Only then did everyone return to the front and back of the carriage and gallop towards the brightly lit Xiangfu. Only the horse pulling the cart felt that something was wrong, because it felt that the carriage seemed to be heavier. Unfortunately, the horses could not speak, and after being whipped, they hurried away. Under the base of the carriage, Bai Bing's hands and feet were stretched out, against the bottom of the carriage, sticking there like an octopus.

The carriage came to a halt from the corner gate into the courtyard, and when one of the people in the carriage came down, they heard the people around them.

"I've seen Steward Tian, do you need the little ones to do something?"

A rich man's voice sounded: "I just went back to the house on the order of the prime minister to take a look, the prince of the Yanai didn't go out, the prime minister was worried that he would walk around tonight, so I came back and told him a few words." ”

"Back to the steward of the field, the son of the Yanai didn't go out, there was a lot of chaos outside tonight, how dare the little ones let him go out?"

"Well, I'll have to meet him. You all give me some spirit tonight, and I can't have an accident tonight. Outside the thief is being arrested, and there is a lot of trouble. I won't tell you this, and you won't understand it. Seventh, that carriage and horse don't need to be unloaded, I have to go back to report to the prime minister in a while. By the way, I will tell the sister-in-law of the Zhao family, the housekeeper of the back hall, and ask her to make a pot of Biluochun for Xiangye, cover it with a warm pot, and I will take it to serve Xiangye tea. Xiangye is tired enough tonight, he has to refresh himself, and he doesn't like to drink the tea outside. The butler of Natian chattered and walked away.

The servants on the side agreed and followed. Someone drove the carriage to the corner of the yard and parked it, Bai Bing smelled a fishy smell around, and the horse's nose kept snorting around, knowing that this was the stable in the corner of the yard.

The person in the carriage sounded like a housekeeper surnamed Tian from the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was from Lu Zhongtian's side that he returned to the mansion to see if there was anything wrong in the mansion, and whether Lu Tianci, the son of the Yanei, secretly ran out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Obviously, Lu Zhongtian is not worried about his family, and he is also worried that something will happen in the house, and he is worried that Lu Tianci is still running around outside tonight.

Bai Bing felt a little pity, but when she heard the man say that she was going to see the prince of Yanai, she had an urge to follow him. It's a pity that there are too many people around, and they can't show up, so they can only show up when everyone is gone.

A servant who fed the horses poured some horse feed and water for the horses pulling the cart, and then left humming a little tune. Bai Bing waited for a while, listening to the sound of horses chewing and snorting around him, and mosquitoes flying around, which was really uncomfortable. But after making sure that there was no one around, he slowly moved out from under the carriage. She was startled when she saw a pair of eyes the size of a brass bell staring at her, and she was grinning.

But it was just a false alarm, it was a horse in a trough in the stable next to it, and he heard Bai Bing's movement coming out from under the belly of the car, and probed over to check curiously. Bai Bing glanced at the horse, quietly stood up from the side, and looked around.

The entire Xiangfu compound is extremely open, and I thought it was a rockery flower bed that was extremely luxurious, but in fact, this courtyard had nothing special except for the large. There are a lot of trees scattered in the yard, the ground is flat, and there are no cloister flower beds and other things, so it is so empty and clear at a glance. I didn't know and thought it was an empty sparse forest somewhere.

As the prime minister, Lu Zhongtian has been stealing huge amounts of money for so many years, and he has long been a wealthy family that rivals the country. The fact that the vestibule compound was so humble seemed to be that he deliberately showed his integrity and low profile. But in fact, it is not, this is for the sake of protecting the family's home. Although the rockery cloister flower bed trees can show their wealthy status, it is not good for the safety of the house. Over the years, Lu Zhongtian has been in a high position, and he has many enemies in the court, and there are countless enemies in private. Many Jianghu figures, political enemies of the DPRK and China will find a way to get rid of Lu Zhongtian, and will send killers to attack. Therefore, Lu Zhongtian left the courtyard empty, and would minimize the possibility that these people would be able to hide. It's just convenient for guarding weeks.

Bai Bing saw that there were patrol men walking by from time to time on the courtyard wall and in the courtyard, and there were hundreds of these people in the entire front yard alone. It is conceivable that once someone jumps in from the courtyard wall, they will find themselves suddenly in the bare courtyard, staring at more than 100 people viciously, and they are afraid that they will faint at that time. Fortunately, I was not impulsive.

Bai Bing looked at the location and walked out of the stable towards the house to the north. The patrols in the yard didn't seem to notice Bai Bing. Or maybe they didn't care at all. A man who came out of the stable, what is there to care. It's just a servant feeding horses.

After walking from the light to the shadows, Bai Bing breathed a sigh of relief. It is not possible to walk from the roof here, because it is likely that there are guards on the roof, so you can only walk backwards honestly. After passing the passage next to the tall vestibule, entering the courtyard is a different scene. The corridor zigzags and goes straight to the back head, the palace lamp is swaying, wearing red and hanging colors, and there is a rich atmosphere.

Bai Bing walked and stopped, climbed over the wall and crossed the house, and went straight to the back. Obviously, Lu Tianci must be living in the back house. But the more I went on, the more I felt heavily defended. There are more guards around the courtyards of the second and third entrances. Fortunately, these are not too difficult for Bai Bing, with Bai Bing's light skills, like a civet cat, jumping high and low silently, even if they walk beside them, most of them don't know anything.

However, after entering the third entry, Bai Bing encountered a big problem. After entering more than a dozen houses, Bai Bing got lost and didn't know where Lu Tianci lived. Bai Bing didn't dare to easily take someone to ask, once his whereabouts were exposed, Lu Tianci would be immediately and closely protected, although he might not be trapped here, but the matter would be in vain.

Just as she was confused and shuttling between the corridors of flowers and trees between the small courtyards, she suddenly heard laughter in the distance.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee...... Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......-hee ”

Bai Bing's body shook, and then a smile appeared on his face.
