"It's a normal day!" , the guard responded. It corresponds to the twelve hours of the Han people, that is, the Yin hour. At that time, the sun had not yet risen and the sky had not yet dawned. It's the darkest time of the day. Choosing to meet at that time has to lead to reverie.

"What about another day?" , Konoe saw that Egnazi did not speak, and suggested.

As the believers bowed, Egnaqi got up and said, "No need! If Puniban Khan wants to meet at that hour, let it be! ”。 Now is the time to ask for help! Unlike in the past, he is still in a high position. In the presence of Puniban Khan, there can be no more shelf for the governor.

When Konoe saw this, he couldn't persuade him anymore.

At this time, the imam, who was holding the pilgrimage prayer, had already begun to sing the most noble passages. All the believers echoed in unison. The spacious Jami Mosque was also instantly full of people.

Egnazi chanted, hoping that Allah would protect his wish.

So the next day, before dawn, Egnazi got up and left his residence. Along the way, fugitives sleeping on the ground can be seen everywhere. And the ground is full of filth, and it is very unclean.

If it weren't for the sake of concealment, he would never have wanted to live in such a place. And to be in the company of these inferior people is really detrimental to identity.

"Damn it!" , the tip of the shoe touched a little filth, and he was so angry that he scolded in a low voice. Not far from it, fugitives lying in the corner. seemed to think that he was moving too much, so he couldn't help pouting.

This made Egnazi feel contempt.

Immediately walked over and grabbed the man's neck. If you use any more force, you will lose your life. Then he wiped the filth on the tip of his shoe on this person's body, and then he felt a little relieved.

Anyway, no one pays attention to these fugitives. Even if ordinary people die, no one in the city will be held accountable. Like winter, so many people froze to death. The governor's palace also only sent people to transport the corpses out of the city.

They will not distribute food and give a helping hand.

Until the fugitives fought for food in order to survive, causing chaos. only to incur the crazy purge of the Governor's Palace!

Those who are still alive now have long been frightened and waited for death.

After turning a few stinking alleys, I came to the market outside. Because it was still early, there were only vendors delivering vegetables and firewood in the market. The various commercial banks have not yet opened.

There are no fugitives here!

Because the columns of soldiers patrolling the streets will drive all the fugitives who wander the streets out of the city. If you move slowly, you will only see a corpse.

After walking like this for a while, he came to the Governor's Palace.

It's not far from the Jami Mosque! The number of soldiers patrolling is also several times that of the market.

"Stop!" , wearing a dark gray robe, covering himself tightly, was suddenly stopped by a column of soldiers.

In order to avoid extraneous complications, the grumpy Egnaqi had no choice but to stand still.

"Who?" A leading soldier came to him and asked impatiently. It's also this big night, and Egnazi is dressed like this again. It's really suspicious.

"The Doge's Palace!" , Egnaqi took out a golden plaque with the Persian abbreviation of Puniban Khan printed on it.

The soldier seemed to doubt the authenticity of the gold medal, and weighed it in his hand for a moment, before he looked at Egnazi and let him go to the governor's line.

He then ran into six columns of patrolling soldiers in succession, and was interrogated six times by them. In this way, I finally came to the door of the governor's palace.

He knocked on the door and waited for a response from the inside.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded, and a small square window opened for the side door.

"You are?" Seeing that Egnaqi was dressed so tightly, the man asked vigilantly.

"Ask to see the Governor." With that, he handed over his own sign. The man looked at it carefully for a while before he spoke, "Go to the back door!" The governor said that no one was allowed to pass through it until it was dark. ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, the man closed the window. Egnazi clenched his fists in displeasure, and finally put it down.

Due to the large size of the Governor's Palace, the back entrance of the Governor's Palace should be separated by several markets. He spared a long circle before he came to a relatively narrow alley. At this time, there are not many pedestrians, and the alley is very quiet.

looked around with some vigilance, and then walked in with his thoughts.

On the way, I ran into a man carrying a burden, but it was a farmer who was delivering vegetables to the governor's palace.

So to the back door of the Doge's Palace!

Compared to the main entrance, this place is extremely inconspicuous. There was only a small door, low and low. Once upon a time there was such a door in his house. Only the subordinates with extremely low status enter and exit from here.

Thinking of this, he inevitably got a little angry.

If he had been in the past, he would not have entered. But now that I have a request for someone, I have to pull down my body and breathe in a low voice.

Thinking like this, he restrained the anger in his heart and looked around. Seeing that there was no one else, he knocked on the closed wooden door.

"Knock knock...", knocking on the door, he crushed the vegetable leaves on the ground with force.

"Who?" , knocked nearly ten times, and then asked slowly. And listening to the tone, he was extremely impatient.

"Deliver food!" , Thinking of the food delivered before, Egnaqi said in a deep voice.

"Didn't you just send it once? Why is it here again? ", the subordinate inside muttered angrily.

"Something fell and was delivered in a hurry." , explained Egnazi.

The man didn't seem to hear the difference in Egnazi's voice. He came to the door, creaked, and put up the deadbolt.

"Bah! You're not the one who delivers food?! A subordinate with a big belly and a fat head and a big face. As soon as he opened the door, he said suspiciously.

"I'm here for your governor." With that, he took out the gold-inlaid sign from his bosom again. This is a token of the Doge's Palace! It is usually a very valuable guest who is rewarded by the governor himself. If you are an ordinary person, you don't have that blessing.

It's just that at this hour, visiting from such a door is really suspicious. I carefully looked at the sign several times before finally saying something.

"Come with me!" , this man was going to be angry! But after seeing Egnaqi's token, he cautiously held back. It's just that he suspects that Egnazi is not treated well by the governor, so his attitude is much more sluggish.

After walking around for a long time, I came to a secluded courtyard. The subordinate stood outside the courtyard and explained: "The governor is discussing military affairs inside!" Please wait a moment. As he spoke, he retreated.

It is also the news that Li Chengji led the cathar army to personally conquer Yeli, and it has been transmitted back to Yeli at the speed of a fast horse. Therefore, the Governor summoned all the staff and generals in the Governor's Palace early to discuss the solution.
