There are only two kinds of people in Chang'an City in the middle of the night, that is, husbands and officials, but in addition, if anyone walks around, it can only be a thief who does evil.

But now, there is a group of people who have quietly avoided the eyes of the husband and sneaked along the night. And the identity of these people and the thieves is 108,000 miles apart, they are the guards of the emperor Liu Yan.

The leader is light and strong, and he looks very young. This person's name is Ji Chongxin, and he is twenty-five years old. Speaking of which, Ji Chongxin originally had nothing to do with the emperor's guards, he had been in Chang'an for less than a year, and he was not familiar with life in Chang'an, the only thing that made him intersect with the palace was that he had a brother named Ji Chonghai, who used to be the captain of the guard of Emperor Liu Yan.

Since Ji Chonghai was injured and disabled in order to protect Her Majesty the Queen on the night of the night fire in Chang'an, Ji Chonghai has intended to return to his hometown. But Emperor Liu Yan said that he would not let go of this person who had served him since he was a child, Ji Chonghai felt that he was crippled, and it was of no help to Emperor Liu Yan, so he repaired a letter and asked the elders of the family to choose the best warrior in the clan to replace him, so Ji Chongxin was sent to Chang'an by his family.

When it comes to martial arts character, smart and capable, Ji Chongxin is naturally the best choice, but he doesn't know anything about how to be a palace guard. Therefore, in order for him to be competent, Ji Chonghai had to train him well. Facing this brother who was thirty-one years older than him, Ji Chongxin was as respectful as his father, and honestly followed Ji Chonghai to learn everything necessary. According to Ji Chonghai's meaning, Ji Chongxin still has to go through training and experience to take on heavy responsibilities, but at this time, he was borrowed by Wu Sicheng to perform an important task. Of course. Wu Sicheng values Ji Chongxin's loyalty and martial arts, and his experience is secondary.

The stakes are high. That is to infiltrate the palace of the king of Chu and rescue a woman named Qing'er, who is said to have important information.

Ji Chongxin was somewhat stunned when he received this task. According to the understanding of these days, Ji Chongxin knows how difficult it will be to sneak into the palace of the king of Chu, and since it is going to be done in secret, it means that the emperor has not planned to turn his face with the king of Chu, the stakes are very high, in case of a mistake, who can afford the responsibility? And although Ji Chongxin has been in Chang'an for more than half a year, he has been receiving Ji Chonghai's teachings in the palace, which Chang'an City is not familiar with. Not to mention the palace of the King of Chu. How can it be so simple to save a big living person from the palace if you are not familiar with life?

To this end, Wu Sicheng equipped him with ten strong guards with martial arts, plus a deputy, Jin Jier. It is said that this person is very familiar with the terrain in Chang'an City, and is proficient in tracking and searching. Ji Chongxin was skeptical about this, because as far as he knew, this Jingil had never seen Qing'er at all, even if he was smarter than a dog's nose, he couldn't find a smell that he hadn't smelled.

After bypassing a few streets, Ji Chongxin and the others approached the Chu Palace, and there were patrolling soldiers passing by from time to time around the palace. These soldiers sent by Liu Yan to spy on the King of Chu have now become a problem. The group climbed over the wall during the patrol and hid their figures behind the ridge. Then start looking at where to search.

Although the palace of the king of Chu is not as grand as the palace, it is also extremely luxurious and spectacular, and there are hundreds of courtyards in the southwest corner of this vast mansion. How to search is really difficult for Ji Chongxin. At this time, Ginger said in his ear: "Let's go to the southwest corner first." ”

"But how do we know in which room?"

Ginger hehehe: "There are three or five courtyards in the southwest corner that are relatively secluded, let's only search these places." ”

"How do you know?" Ji Chongxin asked.

"I've already been here once yesterday, but just to prevent the other party from noticing. It's just a rough glimpse of the situation, so come with me now. With that, Kingill went down to the southwest corner.

Ji Chongxin looked at this Tuqi man who was much younger than himself. I was quite emotional. Although this kid's martial arts are not yet a master, he is clean and neat. No wonder Wu Sicheng sent him to be his deputy. At that moment, he led people to follow Ginger all the way to the southwest corner.

Jin Jier said softly as he walked: "It is very likely that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is also in that courtyard, so although it is secluded there, it is very likely that there are masters in ambush, let's be careful not to show our whereabouts." ”

Ji Chongxin was secretly puzzled when he heard this, so this woman named Qing'er was the concubine of the King of Chu, and stealing her out didn't seem to be a rescue.

While he was thinking, Ginger suddenly stopped and motioned for everyone to hide. Immediately the crowd fell on the ridge of the roof. Ji Chongxin lowered his body and walked down the aisle, Jinji approached and asked, "Is there a situation?" ”

Ginger chuckled softly: "It's really strange, we actually have company." As he spoke, Ginger snorted.

Ji Chongxin looked in that direction, and sure enough, above the room in front of him, there were also several black shadows, slowly groping forward, obviously looking for something.

"Who are these people?" Ji Chongxin asked.

Ginger shook his head: "But it seems that the goal of this group of people is clearer than ours, and the target they are looking for should be around here." You see, over there, there's a lot of them. ”

Ji Chongxin nodded: "It's twice as much as us." They all look like masters. ”

Jin Jill hesitated for a moment and said, "Aren't these people also looking for Qing'er?" If that woman is so important, both parties should want to take her into their own hands. ”

"It's possible. Then we should strike first. Ji Chongxin said.

Jingil shook his head and said, "There are so many of them, it's not a way to be tough, not to mention that I don't know where they are." Looking at this situation, they seem to have a clear goal, it is better for us to follow them secretly, if they find Qing'er, we will suddenly attack and kill them by surprise, and run away after robbing someone. ”

"It's a bit dangerous to do that, and what if their target isn't Qing'er?"

"Well, that's a problem," Ginger muttered, "Then let's trap them, let the people of the Chu Palace, come out and arrest them, and let's take advantage of the chaos." ”

Ji Chongxin looked at Jin Jier with interest and said, "I think you are more suitable for this mission than me." ”

"I'll be a burden to you when you really want to do it."

The two looked at each other and smiled, then continued to observe the actions of the unknown people. (To be continued......)
