Chapter 47: Bloody Night: Dive In!
In the evening of the same day, Ning Jiang informed Qin Chuan Wuyi of his decision.
Although Ning Jiang had long been preparing for a plan to steal the Kowloon Cup, the day he chose was actually the day before the palace test, which was still much more than they expected.
The palace examination is not the same as the prefectural examination, the state examination, and the general examination, and it is not necessary to go to the venue in the middle of the night, although it is also necessary to enter the imperial city before the time, although it is only one day of examination, but for all candidates, this is the most critical one.
actually chose to steal the Nine Dragons Cup at such an important time, Qin Chuan Wuyi naturally looked at each other.
However, Ning Jiang called them not to discuss with them, but to tell them his decision.
For Ning Jiang, what has been decided is not allowed to be easily changed by others.
He looked at Qin Chuan Wuyi and said: "The matter of stealing the Nine Dragons Cup is mainly carried out by Xiaomeng, Qin Kan, and Xiaoya'er, Qin Mo, Qin Ze, and Wuyan, and the three of you will stay in the outer city and lead the Righteous Qi Alliance and the Heaven and Earth Society in case there is an accident." ”
Qin Chuan responded with a "yes" in unison.
That night, the weather was a little muggy.
After eating, the two brothers and sisters of Ningjiang chatted and talked in the courtyard while enjoying the shade.
During this time, Xiaomeng told him that when she and Chun Jianli left the inner city together, Chun Jianli asked her a lot about him.
Xiaomeng said: "I always feel that her topics are inseparable from her brother. ”
Ning Jiang frowned, thinking in his heart, could it be that the Zoroastrians had already begun to suspect him?
"Brother," Xiaomeng put his hands on the table and poked his head slightly, "Sister Jianli...... Is Chun Jili really a bad person? ”
Ning Jiang gave her a strange look: "You can't forget that she wants to give you a seed introduction, right?" This woman is hiding deeply, don't trust her! ”
Xiaomeng whispered, "Oh!
That night, there was no word for the night.
By the next day. It was a little dark all morning, and by the afternoon, it was getting hotter and hotter.
In the evening, more and more dark clouds are piling up. Gathered in the sky above the capital, this is a kind of stuffy feeling that a heavy rainstorm is about to fall, but the rain can't come down.
Around the time of Shen, at the foot of Longshou Mountain in the inner city of Suzaku Fang, a Taoist walked back and forth.
This Taoist is the master of the Five Thunder Views, Lei He Daoist, but he has changed his appearance through the "Wuyan Ghost" in the Five Meanings of Qinchuan. Not many people can recognize it.
Because of his refusal to attach himself to the Quanqing faction, the daughter of Lei He Daoren, was raped and killed, and he himself was almost alive, and when he was looking for Zhenjiguan to take revenge, he was saved by Qin Ze and Qin Kan in the five righteousness of Qinchuan, and then joined the Zhengqi Alliance, and then followed. and entered the "Heaven and Earth Society" secretly created by Qinchuan Wuyi.
For the others, the Thunder Crane Daoist was already a dead man. However, in the capital, he still has some unknown properties, and he has several loyal disciples, one of which is in this Longshou Mountain.
Although it was a summer night, the clouds were thick. It was getting darker and darker.
As we entered, a curfew began to be imposed in the inner city, and the rain still did not fall, but the wind grew stronger. The wind swept the dust on the ground. Small pebbles rolled in the streets by the wind, and the soldiers patrolling the inner city had begun to avoid the rain that was sure to fall.
Somewhere on the top of Longshou Mountain, there were shadows, people assembling and dragging something, and under such a dim sky and the nightly curfew that must be observed in the inner city, no one could notice them.
To the southwest of Longshou Mountain, beyond the long-deserted market, is a high wall. Beyond the high wall, there was a corridor a foot wide, and a group of soldiers, almost as if they had done something, hurried through the aisle.
On the other side of the high wall is the city wall on the north side of the imperial city, and although there are people patrolling the wall, they are also in a hurry. It's not that they're negligent, it's that nothing can happen. There is no city gate here, and even if someone wants to attack the imperial city, they will never choose this section.
At this point in time, the entire inner city has been enforcing a curfew, the high walls of the inner city square, and the forbidden road between the walls of the imperial city, except for the patrolling royal guards, anyone who dares to appear here at any time, the patrolling soldiers have the right to directly regard them as assassins and kill them on the spot. What's more, no matter how powerful the master is, it is impossible to climb over the six-zhang high stone wall and climb the city wall more than ten zhang.
In reality, there is no such thing as the storyteller in the teahouse said, a peerless master who leaps five or six feet, or a swordsman who has a sword for dozens of miles.
The wind is getting stronger and wilder, the stars and moon have been obscured by dark clouds, and the whole world is dark. The wind danced through the bamboo forest, whirring and dancing, and the rustling sound swept in the roar of the wind. In an arrow tower on the city wall, several soldiers were quietly hot rice wine here. They didn't notice that something was flying over their heads in the air high up.
The thing that spread its wings and looked like a big bird flew over the empty market, the wall of the Vermilion Bird Fang, and the wall of the city that was more than ten zhang high, and flew into the imperial city. Although the night was extremely dark, and the stars and moon were dark, the eyes of the girl who glided in the night sky through the mysterious thing seemed to have golden light shining out. Cultivating the "Golden Spirit", she has extraordinary eyesight like a grandmaster-level martial artist, and a more extraordinary perception.
With the help of the wind, in the air, left and right, sliding back and forth, quietly a dive. A small figure jumped down from the mysterious thing, flipped in the air, and landed steadily on a hill in the imperial city.
Landing there was a boy who looked to be less than ten years old, wearing a black power suit.
The so-called strong outfit is actually the tights worn by the characters in the rivers and lakes when they walk at night, without extra corners, clean and neat without dragging mud and water.
He stood on the top of the hill, looking around, and in the dim darkness of the night, his eyes were like flames. In the chaotic meadows, in the rolling stone forest, an elk walked in front of him, and suddenly ran away in fright. This is part of the upper garden, which is a palace garden for the Son of Heaven to relax, but tomorrow is the palace test, when today's son naturally has no time to come here to play, and ordinary concubines and princes can not enter the palace garden casually.
The entire upper garden occupies a huge area. It occupies almost a quarter of the entire imperial city, but it is also surrounded by tall walls, and ordinary people cannot enter it at all. And at night, the prince, concubines, etc. returned to the palace separately, and in the upper garden, it was naturally impossible to deploy defenses everywhere.
The boy turned his head to look. His gaze pierced through the heavy darkness of the night and looked at the city walls in the distance.
This mountain in the Imperial Garden, from a straight line, is close to the Longshou Mountain in Suzaku Fang, and both mountains are higher than the walls of the imperial city. But if you don't fly from the air, you need to go around a big circle, pass through the Chenhui Gate in the east of the imperial city, and then pass through the two squares in the outer city to enter the Vermilion Bird Square. It takes at least half a day to reach Longshou Mountain.
It is precisely because of this that these two hills have become a breakthrough for him to enter the imperial city, there is not much defense here at all, but no matter how high and big the city wall is, it can be defended against the ground after all, not from the air.
The boy came and ran up the hill. Soon, a relatively flat open space was found. And that's the time. In the night sky, the mysterious thing flew back again.
The boy picked up the fire breaker and pulled the cork from it, and the spark shook in the dimness. It didn't take long for another petite figure to leap down from the sky.
The boy waved his hand. A gust of wind flew out of his palm, and his whole body was like the wind, and he greeted the petite figure. The two collided half a foot above the ground, and the boy steadied himself and took the girl with a head similar to his.
The girl. It's not that young, it's just that it can't grow up. She is the "exquisite ghost" Qin Xiaoya among the five ghosts of Qinchuan, when she jumped from the sky, she was actually a little flustered, in such darkness, she couldn't even see where the ground was, but the moment the girl asked her to jump, she jumped down hard, and then she was caught.
Falling to the ground, she was now close enough to see the boy in front of her. She didn't know the true origin of the boy, only that he was a helper invited by the old man and the girl, and the girl said that his nickname was "Batboy", and he looked very small, just by appearance, he was as big as herself, but whether he was the same as herself, and a dwarf who didn't grow up, or whether he was really so young, she couldn't figure out.
After catching Qin Xiaoya'er who jumped from the sky, the bat boy began, using the fire fold to guide the glider in the air in the night.
The fire fold, in fact, is not a flame, but in a small bamboo tube, filled with a special straw rope, when not in use to cover it, the straw rope burns slowly in it, but will not be extinguished, when you need to use it, take off the stopper, gently shake, the grass silk contacts the air, so that the spark rises, can be used to ignite other things.
Under the guidance of the fire fold, the glider landed in the clearing, and Ning Xiaomeng jumped off the glider.
"Bat Brother!" She giggled and touched the head of the boy whose head was up to her breast.
Qin Xiaoya felt that the boy was a little speechless!
Entering the Imperial City was only the first step in their plans...... Of course, it is also the most important step. Without a glider, it would be almost impossible for outsiders to sneak into the Imperial City at night, even for a grandmaster-level master. Otherwise, the lives of the emperor, concubines, princes, etc., are all under the threat of the masters of the rivers and lakes, how can there be any law to speak of?
At this moment, Ning Xiaomeng was helped by Qin Wuyan to change her appearance, with a mandarin duck knife in her waist, dressed as a filial daughter. Qin Xiaoya'er was only wearing a black bandeau and a pair of tight knee-length shorts.
The three of them hid the glider together...... Although this is actually unnecessary, at this point in time, no one will come here at all.
Then the three of them ran down the hill together. At this time, the dark clouds in the night sky, already faintly, began to appear lightning. The wind is getting stronger and stronger, they are facing the direction of the wind, sprinting forward, the boy called "Bat Boy" is running ahead, and the dwarf girl is on his left, although he is petite and cute, but at the moment he is the tallest of the three Little Dream is on the right side of the boy.
Qin Xiaoya'er has also gotten a secret book from her old man Ning Jiang these days, called "Feiyan Flash", which is a relatively pure lightweight exercise, flying up, the body is as light as a swallow, but in fact, it can't last, although it is suitable for sneak attacks, but in the frontal battle, its usefulness is not much. After all, the so-called "light work", in this world, is more of a technique to use internal force, and cannot really violate the laws of nature.
They ran for half an hour before leaving the Imperial Garden, and on the way, they also encountered many animals kept in the Imperial Garden.
There was a bang, and a bolt of lightning slashed diagonally above them, followed by a boom, and it rained heavily.
In the heavy rain, Qin Xiaoya could hardly see the road ahead. Seeing that she was about to break up with the two people around her, a hand grabbed her at this moment and continued to run forward with her.
The showers wet them, further increasing their resistance, but also making them more hidden, infinitely reducing the chance of being discovered. Qin Xiaoya'er was led forward by the boys beside her, she looked to her side in this pouring rainstorm, in such a rainy night, she couldn't even see the boys and girls around her, and she didn't know how the two of them saw the road ahead.
In the horse corridor on the other side, there were several eunuchs who were responsible for feeding the horses in the upper garden, and at this time, they had already fallen asleep. After a while, the three of them hid in a pavilion, looking at the high wall in front of them, as long as they climbed over this high wall, the other side of the high wall was where the Baowen Pavilion and the Longtu Pavilion were located.
In order to be able to steal the Nine Dragons Cup, they spent a lot of energy in advance to get the drawings of the Imperial City and find out this way through the Upper Garden to the Baowen Pavilion. However, the drawings are just the distribution maps of the famous mountains and rivers in the palaces, institutions, and upper gardens in the imperial city, and the specific structure in the imperial palace, in fact, they can't figure it out.
