Chapter 21: Late Night Rescue (1)
Lin Feng took Yuan Biao around the palace in Dongcheng for a while, and it wasn't until nearly halfway through the approach to Hai that he found a suitable time in a corner of the southeast corner of the palace, and the two of them neatly flipped into the palace hand in hand.
The sky was overcast, there were no stars, only a bright moon covered by black fog and clouds, and the night wind was not strong, but it had a slight coolness, penetrating the heart. The whole palace was silent, and only occasionally a few small creatures could be heard in the flowers and grass on the side of the road, which was extremely poignant, adding a solemn atmosphere to the silent night.
Evading the guards patrolling everywhere, including several five-person tiger guards, Lin Feng and Yuan Biao, who had always raised their hearts to their throats, finally arrived safely at the Zuixia Palace without the guards noticing.
Zuixia Palace is located in the south of the palace, and it is a small palace that His Majesty the Emperor usually uses for temporary rest, which is also the reason why Lin Feng agreed to meet here before, and it will be easier to seize the time to escape. In addition, there is a more important reason, that is, not far from the Zuixia Palace, there is a place for the eunuchs and palace maids to rest.
Although that row of houses was not luxurious, it was as dazzling as standing out in the palace lined with luxurious palaces, which also made Lin Feng and Yuan Biao just climb onto the roof of the Zuixia Palace, and they were aiming at the target at a glance.
"Old Yuan! You are staring here, Lao Chen and they will come over in a while! Lin Feng clenched Yuan Biao's forearm tightly, lowered his voice to the extreme, and instructed: "I'll go over there and get a few clothes worn by eunuchs, and I'll hand them over to you here!" ”
"Brother Feng, let's go with me!" Yuan Biao glanced at Lin Feng uneasily, as if he didn't think Lin Feng was up to the task.
"Nonsense! You do whatever I say! Lin Feng glared back at him, then tapped his arm twice, turned around and bent down to leave the roof.
In the night, Lin Feng's agile and well-proportioned body quietly fell to the back of the Zuixia Palace, and when he landed, he rolled and found a shelter to hide aside, squatted down, slightly probed around to check it, and then bowed, and the arrows from the string shot out, at a distance of only about 100 meters, Lin Feng almost exerted the potential of his body to the extreme, his legs swayed rapidly with pieces of afterimage, and almost in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived at the outer wall of the eunuch's house.
After a glance, Lin Feng couldn't help but be surprised, there was a guard standing against the wall at the corner of the house, presumably also on duty at night, but it seemed that he was not very competent, judging from his lazy behavior.
But despite this, Lin Feng also pinched a sweat for himself in his heart, and said in his heart that he was too careless, but the movements under his feet and hands did not stop, before reaching the corner of the wall, his legs flicked into the air, and his hands slapped lightly towards the wall that was not very high, and with the help of his strength, his waist did a somersault. After drawing an almost perfect arc under the moonlight, Lin Feng's body had completely entered the wall, but it was still in the air at this time and did not fall.
When his body just rolled in, the scene in front of him frightened Lin Feng even more, because he was looking at each other with a pair of eyes full of surprise, and he could even clearly see the horror in each other's eyes in the night.
It was a eunuch, a eunuch who had just fallen asleep and got up at night, and he didn't know if he had eaten a bad stomach or drank too much hot tea, as for why, Lin Feng at this time must not have paid attention to it. The eunuch was stunned when he saw him, and he was completely stunned, a fool generally stayed in place, his head was still slightly tilted, and he maintained the posture and expression of the moment he saw Lin Feng.
Although the eunuch was stunned, Lin Feng was not stunned, and he didn't dare to be stunned, he saw that his right hand quickly stretched out and waved, and a dark red blood arrow splashed in the night, and the eyes of the eunuch in front of him were full of horror and gradually became dull, and even when Lin Feng's feet landed, the eunuch's eyes had lost any color, if he had to say that there was, at most he could only say that there was a trace of despair.
He quickly hugged the eunuch's body that was about to fall to the ground, and then looked left and right a few times, and after making sure that no one else saw him, Lin Feng took the eunuch's shoulders with both hands to a hidden corner, threw the corpse there, and curled up the corpse to make it much smaller, so that it was not easy for people to find it quickly.
Then, after Lin Feng wandered outside the two eunuchs' rooms, he packed up five eunuch clothes one after another, because it was too heavy, Lin Feng had to change into one by himself first to reduce the burden, and then Lin Feng looked down at himself while the moonlight was shining, and then reached out and touched his freshly shaved beard, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.
With the experience and lessons learned when he came in, Lin Feng was naturally more careful when he went back, and after several confirmations, Lin Feng went out over the wall and quickly returned to the roof of the Zuixia Palace.
When they returned to the roof, Chen Wansan and Suzaku had already arrived, and they looked back behind them and couldn't help but be startled, almost fell to the roof, and couldn't help glaring at Qinglong behind them, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Qinglong, what are you doing, scare me to death!" ”
"Huh!" Qinglong embarrassedly whispered and explained: "I heard Brother Yuan say that you went over to get your clothes, so I went down to take a look, and just happened to meet you coming back, I followed you." ”
"Whew!" Lin Feng let out a long sigh of relief and nodded slightly, but he also admired Qinglong's skills even more in his heart, and he didn't even notice it just now when he was behind him, and couldn't help but glance at Suzaku, secretly thinking in his heart that he must have received a lot of true inheritance from this light skill master Suzaku.
Then the eunuch clothes were distributed to a few people, and after changing, several people first looked at themselves and felt that they couldn't help frowning slightly, but after raising their eyes and looking at their companions around them, they had a look of wanting to laugh and stop. This is not surprising, the five people present, no matter which one of them stands up, it is also a figure who was once surprised and even now dominated, and at this time he changed into the eunuch uniform worn by the eunuch, which is naturally very weird, and it is reasonable for everyone to have such an expression.
The forbidden army and eunuchs in the palace who are responsible for the safety and daily life of His Majesty the Emperor are not the same as the forbidden army guarding the palace gate. So near the end of the Hai period, a team composed of a mixture of the forbidden army and the Tiger Guards was handed over outside the Zuixia Palace, and the door of the Zuixia Palace, which maintained a dim light, was also quietly opened, and the six eunuchs were divided into two rows, their arms hanging down on their sides, and they hurriedly left the Zuixia Palace with their heads down and small steps, as for why there was no shift of eunuchs tonight, the captain of the Tiger Guard who led the troops did not worry about it, but just looked at the group of eunuchs who left in a hurry and frowned slightly, and their eyes were full of disdain, Then he put his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, turned and looked around with blazing eyes.
With the sound of artifacts falling to the ground in the hall, a slightly immature but majestic shout came from inside: "Go and check it out!" What class of eunuchs is it tonight! Bring them to me! I'm going to have to interrogate me tonight! Who gave them such audacity! ”
"The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry!" A shrill and frightened voice came from the hall: "The slave is going now, the emperor must take care of the dragon body!" ”
"Humph!" Tang Xizong let out a heavy cold snort and stopped talking.
