Chapter 131: An Unquiet Night
When he left Wushun's house, the heavy snow had stopped for a whole day and a night, but the howling north wind was still raging wildly on the earth, not only did not have a tendency to decrease, but increased a lot. The hot breath exhaled by the human body was frozen almost instantly, and was swept away by Xiaoice the cold wind.
Such weather was undoubtedly an ordeal for the Yulin Army who was looking for two people in the huge palace, but it was extremely beneficial for Xing Xing and the man in black to get out.
For leaving the palace, Xing is not in a hurry, and he can't be in a hurry. You must know that not only have 5,000 Yulin troops have begun to carry out a carpet search, but even Er Zhu Mingfeng, who is guarding Yecheng, has led nearly 3,000 soldiers to assist the Yulin army.
The more anxious he was to go out, the easier it was to expose his whereabouts, and this reason was very clear, so he did not leave far after leaving Wushun's residence, but turned over to a towering building while the palace people and Yulin Jun were not paying attention. Happy lay flat on the building, buried himself completely with snow, and then calmed down and began to practice the "Recipe of Longevity", waiting for the night to come again.
The night finally arrived as scheduled. The joy of practicing all day also opened his eyes, and he leaned on the roof of the building to observe the movements in the palace. At this time, the palace was brightly lit, and everywhere was neatly dressed and armored, guarding the patrolling Yulin Army. The bright post and the secret post are also twice as dense as before.
"Godfather, who do you say has such courage to trespass into the palace, aren't they afraid of death?" A young voice rang out from downstairs.
Happy quietly looked down, and saw two eunuchs, one tall and one short, one old and one young, walking slowly, as if they were going to pass by the building where Happy was located.
"Who knows? What is there to fear about a man dying for wealth and a bird dying for food? The old eunuch chuckled and replied, if he hadn't given up his dignity as a man to become a eunuch if he hadn't been for the sake of eating in this chaotic world?
"That thief is also hateful, you say that he caused trouble himself, but he escaped in the clothes of our eunuchs, and all our eunuchs have been interrogated, from morning to now, I still have not a drop of water in my stomach!" The little eunuch's mouth was full of resentment, and he cursed in a low voice: "I curse the children and grandchildren of that damned thief, the male becomes a eunuch, and the female becomes a prostitute, and will never be liberated!" ”
"Little Dezi, shut up, in case disaster comes out of your mouth, leave some virtue on your mouth!" The old eunuch frowned and scolded in a low voice, and then said coldly: "Hurry up, aren't you hungry?"
"Why aren't you hungry, your chest is on your back!" The little eunuch Xiao Dezi hurriedly replied, and couldn't help but speed up a little at his feet.
Looking at the direction in which the two eunuchs left, his happy eyes were full of bone-chilling coldness, and bursts of killing intent were rolling in them.
Although he was happy to create the fact that he disguised himself as a eunuch in order to escape the pursuit of the Yulin Army, Xiao Dezi's vicious curse still made the trace of guilt in his heart disappear, and at the same time, his heart was filled with irrepressible killing intent. No one can ignore such a vicious curse on oneself, not even a saint.
Taking advantage of the cover of the night, he quickly changed out of the women's clothes on his body, and then put on Li Fugui's eunuch clothes. After dressing neatly, he took out the porcelain vase used in the morning and disguised himself as a pale eunuch again, but this time he was no longer a young man, but a middle-aged man over thirty years old, with a faint crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, a feminine smile on his face, and a pair of eyes that looked particularly narrow, but his eyes were full of cruelty. The whole person gives people the feeling of hiding a knife in a smile, which is like the cold and ruthless judgment in the morning.
After doing all this, Xing Xing wrapped Wu Shun's clothes again and hid them on his body, and then pushed out a fluttering palm towards his hiding place. A gust of wind blew in the flat ground, rolling up countless snow chips on the ground. When the fluttering snow fell back to the ground under the inspiration of the earth, there was no trace of joy on the roof, and his figure had secretly followed the two eunuchs away.
"Wang Feng, what do you say you eat? Does Lao Tzu want you to be a decoration, just two thieves actually escaped under your nose! You listen to Lao Tzu, if you can't catch those two thieves within three days, you will come to see them! Wu Zhengzhong, the left commander of the Yulin Army, looked angrily at Wang Feng, who was kneeling on one knee three meters in front of him, and reprimanded loudly with foam.
Wang Feng lowered his head and said nothing. He really wanted to say that the enemy was too cunning and powerful, but would Wu Zhengzhong listen? How could Wu Zhengzhong not know this, although he had not seen the ability of the black-clothed and masked thief to walk on the wall like walking on the ground, he also listened to the subordinates on duty in the palace and the eunuchs and palace maids.
Previously, Wu Zhengzhong was in Concubine Feng Shu's Longji Hall, not only endured Gao Wei's stormy curses, but was even kicked in the chest by the incompetent faint monarch. But Wu Zhengzhong didn't dare to let one go, so he could only promise that the thief would be arrested. The derelict Wang Feng undoubtedly became the best candidate for Wu Zhengzhong to vent his anger and resentment, and he himself knew this very well, so he showed a respectful appearance and let Wu Zhengzhong scold, but in his heart he was secretly determined to arrest the two bold fanatics.
"Walk the water, walk the water! Come on, come on! Just when Wu Zhengzhong was still relieved and wanted to hurt again, there was a sudden exclamation from the south. Wu Zhengzhong turned to look and saw that the night sky in the south suddenly brightened, and the skylit sky was red by the firelight.
"Fuck, why are there so many things going on today?" Wu Zhengzhong cursed hatefully, and saw that a group of soldiers under his command were all standing in place in a daze, looking at the bright southern sky as bright as day and motionless, Wu Zhengzhong didn't get angry, "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and copy the guy to put out the fire, hurry!" Fast! Wu Zhengzhong said, raised his foot and kicked a stunned soldier on his side to the ground.
Seeing that the general was angry, the Yulin army exploded in an instant, and one by one the girls scattered and ran away, taking the pot and the bucket, and then rushed to the place where the fire was burning under the leadership of Wu Zhengzhong.
The so-called wind fuels the fire, and the fire blows by the wind. Although the roof was covered with a thick layer of snow, it could not stop the house from burning violently, which was mainly made of dry wood. When Wu Zhengzhong arrived at the scene with a thousand Lin troops, the fire had spread for hundreds of meters. The heat was so hot that the people did not dare to approach, and the water that the soldiers brought with buckets and basins was only a drop in the bucket, and it did not stop the spread of the fire in the slightest.
The night of Yecheng today is destined not to be peaceful.
Just when the fire in the south of the palace attracted everyone's attention, Happy immediately gave up the idea of wanting to aspire to the little eunuch Xiao Dezi, and quickly ran towards the imperial study at the back.
Along the way, there were palace soldiers running and shouting, so no one would pay attention to the joy of rushing in a hurry.
One of the guards outside the imperial study went to put out the fire, and the rest also attracted attention to the fire, and the defense of the imperial study was much looser. Happy easily broke through the blockade of the Yulin Army, and quickly climbed towards the top of the imperial study like a dexterous monkey.
As soon as his happy head passed the roof, he felt a strong wind blowing in his face. Happy was shocked, but the reaction was extremely fast.
"Hey!" With a silent snort in his mouth, he turned his head abruptly with joy, and at the same time pressed his hands on the eaves suddenly exerted force, and his body rushed out diagonally against the roof.
Feeling a trace of hot pain on his face, he was happy and nervous at the same time, and he was also excited. With a sweep of his eyes, he recognized that it was the man in black who attacked him.
While his happy body was still moving under the influence of his habitual name, his right palm pressed down slightly, and without making a sound, his body changed from lying on his side to standing upright, just in time to avoid the enemy's kick to the head.
The man in black didn't give the slightest respite from his happiness, one move failed, and the other came again. Although he missed the opportunity, he has extremely rich combat experience, and all his fighting skills are the crystallization of the technology of his previous life, and he has honed it through countless kills. The black-clothed man's attacks were dense and continuous, but he was very unaccustomed to the ruthless and disorganized skills of the glare, and he always returned in vain. It's just that in three or five moves, the opportunity of the man in black is gone, and the two of them come and go, fighting equally.
In the blink of an eye, fifty times passed, and there was no physical contact between Happy and the body of the man in black, and it was always a touch. This is not that they are friendly to each other, but a tacit understanding, for fear of making some noise and exposing their figures, so as to attract the attention of the vigilant Yulin Army.
But this kind of fight is very dangerous, and the requirements for strength and speed are extremely high. One negligence may cause the other party to strike like a storm, and thus lose his surname.
Gradually, the man in black became a little impetuous, happy that the strange and vicious moves always made him unguarded, and what was even more terrifying was that he was happy with the strange speed and endless endurance.
A quarter of an hour passed, and the man in black already felt tired, but on the other hand, the joy was still light and light, and his body was erratic, and he did not show any fatigue, which made the man in black feel anxious.
The man in black blocked the palm that Xingxing slashed at the door in front of him with a punch, and suddenly pushed out a palm to Xingxing's chest, and the sharp palm wind and overflowing murderous aura made Xingxing's heart awe-inspiring. Not daring to be careless, he happily filled his right palm with his true qi and quickly pushed it out, hitting the palm of the man in black.
"There is fraud!" As soon as the palm of Xingxing's hand touched the man in black, Xingxing noticed something unusual.
"Smack!" A dull sound came from between the palms of the two of them.
Sure enough, the man in black didn't have much strength in his palm, and under the palm full of true qi with joy, his body was like a soft feather, fluttering five meters away, and falling towards the back of the imperial study.
Although the sound of the battle with the man in black was not loud, it still alarmed the Yulin army. Happy cursed in his heart, and also ran in the direction where the man in black left, but when he fell to the ground, the man in black had already disappeared, and the sound of Yulin Jun shouting came from behind him.
Happy and helpless sighed, his body jumped out like a tanuki, like a puff of green smoke, and left the imperial study far away before the Yulin army surrounded him, and in a cluster of flowers very close to the palace wall, he happily took off the eunuch clothes on his body, and changed into Wushun's women's clothes again and walked quickly to the palace wall.
