Chapter Seventy-Eight: Murderous Darkness

When the day was approaching, Na Yu sneaked into the dormitory of the maids of the eldest princess's mansion, picked out a light green skirt to change into, and hid the sergeant's uniform in a proper place for standby, climbed over the wall out of the eldest princess's mansion, and went straight to the inner square where the Jin State Mansion was located in the east of the city.

The last time she was disturbed by Bogo's prison break, Na Yu still hadn't found out the weak points of the guards around the village, and today she was going to re-investigate.

To Nayu's surprise, when she approached the fang, she found that in addition to the four sergeants guarding the gate of the fang, the forbidden troops who had been patrolling around the wall had withdrawn. Nayu was overjoyed by this discovery, she disguised herself as a maid of the eunuch's house, pretended to be ordered by her master to go out of the house to buy daily necessities, circled the wall twice in succession, and made sure that the forbidden army around the wall had been withdrawn, and immediately decided to start tonight.

She returned to the eldest princess's mansion, went to the cooking room to find some food to feed her stomach, and then went to the place where she rested last night and fell asleep. Seeing that the sun was setting in the west and the autumn breeze was cool, Na Yu changed into the uniform of Sergeant Yulin again, put the short knife that he had taken from the guard sergeant last night on his waist, and found a few stones in the courtyard to carry in his arms, and rushed to the Jin State Mansion for the second time.

Na Yu didn't have much effort to climb over the wall and enter the Jin State Mansion, when she didn't know where to go to find Li Jinzhong to assassinate, she happened to see Lai Xing'er follow Li Jinzhong's order to meet Qin Cha outside the mansion. Na Yu didn't have time to think about it, so she quietly followed Lai Xing'er all the way to the cross-courtyard where the study was located.

Hiding on the roof of the cross-courtyard wing, Na Yu saw the two lines of guards neatly arranged outside the door of the study, and secretly smacked his tongue, and made a difficulty: Look at this posture, stay until dark, if you want to break into the study and kill Li Jinzhong, you have to solve these two dozen guards first. But he is a fox alone, not to mention whether he can defeat these many people, even if he can kill them all, he will inevitably make a big noise and attract more guards from other places, if that is the case, it is a question whether he can get out smoothly, let alone assassinate Li Jinzhong.

Na Yu's body was close to the ridge of the roof, only his eyes were exposed to watch the movement in the study across the courtyard, his mind turned quickly, thinking about countermeasures: It was less than half a moon after they had just been separated, how could Lai Xing'er come to Li Jinzhong's mansion on an errand, could it be that there was really any ulterior secret between him and Li Jinzhong? I hope he won't be by Li Jinzhong's side tonight, otherwise, once he assassinates, he will need to guard against him.

When Na Yu was thinking about a headache to no avail, she suddenly saw that among the four palace people brought into the Jin Kingdom by Wang Bao'er, one of the palace people who was tall and walking in the back row casually turned around and stared in the direction where she was hiding, as if she noticed that someone was hiding on the roof.

Na Yu was startled, and hurriedly retracted his head, and after a long time, he tried to show his eyes again, wanting to see if the palace man had found out about him. But at this time, Li Jinzhong was dissatisfied with the emperor and only issued an edict to make himself king, and he had left the palace with Wang Bao'er and several palace people who accompanied him to ask to see the emperor, that is, even the guards of the Jin State Mansion were gone. In the courtyard, only Lai Xing'er was left sitting on the steps outside the study door, not knowing what was on her mind.

Na Yu knew that the guards must still be lying in ambush in the courtyard and did not leave, and he would never show up to meet Lai Xing'er at this time, so he continued to lie motionless on the ridge of the roof, slowly scanning every place in the courtyard from south to north where people could hide.

Soon, she discovered the hiding place of a dozen of the guards. However, there were more than twenty guards that he had seen just now, and now there were at least a few hidden places that he had not yet discovered. Thinking like this, Nayu cheered up and searched carefully with her eyes again, but still found nothing.

Na Yu was a little panicked in his heart, these guards who were hiding in the middle of nowhere must be the masters of these guards, and now he didn't even know where they were hiding.

It was getting late, and Na Yu saw that Lai Xing'er was still sitting on the steps, as if he had a very heavy heart, and his heart couldn't help but move: Could it be that he was forced to go to Li Jinzhong's mansion on an errand?

While she was thinking, she quietly climbed from the ridge of the wing room to the ridge of the study, hid behind Lai Xing'er, and looked for it again from a different angle, trying to find the guards who were nowhere to be found.

Just as Na Yu had just moved from the ridge of the wing room to the ridge of the study to hide and observe, another person quietly came to the ridge of the wing where she had been hiding.

This person's face was covered with a black veil, and there were seven or eight bone-penetrating nails in his palm, and he was also counting the number of guards hiding in the shadows one by one with his eyes.

After a while, perhaps he found that the number of guards hidden in this small courtyard was far beyond his expectations, and because he was not enough to deal with it alone, this person deliberately pulled out the roof tiles around him, made a little noise, and then quickly shrank half of his head exposed behind the ridge.

Two guards hiding behind the bushes by the gate of the courtyard were the first to rush out, tiptoeing, their eyes wide open, looking up at the roof of the noisy wing room, and pretending to ask, "Who is it?" I've seen you, come down. ”

Lai Xing'er, who was sitting on the steps in a daze, also heard the sound, and saw the two guards rushing out of nowhere, standing in the courtyard and shouting, but for a long time there was no sound on the ridge of the house, so he smiled and persuaded the two guards: "Maybe it's a wild cat, or maybe the gust of wind just now was fierce, and it stirred the roof tiles, the two eldest brothers don't talk in vain." ”

Because they didn't know Lai Xing'er's identity and details, the two guards didn't want to argue with him, so they scolded and hid behind the bushes again.

Lai Xing'er secretly laughed at the two guards' brains, obviously they had leaked their hiding, but they had to hide back to the cat, it was better to stand up and talk to themselves to relieve their boredom, and he could also take the opportunity to get close to them and see if he could find a way out of here from their mouths.

With such an idea, Lai Xing'er stood up from the steps, dusted off his body, and was about to walk towards the bushes where the two guards were hiding, when a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Stop, go back and sit, and wait for the adults to come back." ”

Lai Xing'er turned around suddenly, his eyes wandered around, but he couldn't find where the person who spoke was hiding, so he had to obey the man's instructions, sat back on the steps stupidly, and muttered: "There are no outsiders in this courtyard, why do you pretend to scare yourself like this......"

He deliberately spoke out in order to provoke the man to speak out again, so that he could find out where he was hiding. However, when he complained too much, he could no longer hear any noise behind him, only the sound of insects chirping from time to time in a corner under the corridor.

Rao is like this, Na Yu and the masked man hiding on the roof of the wing room both made a new discovery from Fang Cai's shout to Lai Xing'er: there are people in ambush in the study! (To be continued.) )
