Tong Hang held the long-handled double-edged knife in his hand, touched the twenty black dragon thorns pinned to his waist, and suddenly became bold in his heart. Pulled up the black face towel, jumped under his feet, and threw himself towards the wooden building across the street.

Night, quietly. The deep night sky was adorned with a full moon, and the moonlight was like mercury, splashing on the rooftops, treetops, and streets.

Rows of dead wind lamps emit faint dim points of light. Occasionally, a wild cat sprang out in the dark, startling the night birds fluttering and flying, and the screams could be heard far and wide.

Tonight is not a special day, and each party has locked and sealed the key early. Occasionally, there are flower buildings and smoke alleys, but it is just a lonely string tact, the imperial court has issued a ban, because of the death of Yang Rong, the cabinet minister, the capital banned entertainment for ten years. The high-ranking officials and virtuous people also fasted sincerely, praying that Lord Yang would ascend to bliss as soon as possible. The people of the capital are closing their doors early, since the Shuntianfu Yin Jiang returned to the west, the cow ghost snake god in the capital suddenly lost the fetters, although it is quiet these days, but also ready to move tentatively, stepping on the plate everywhere, if you don't close the door early, I'm afraid that the pickle jar at home will be gone, not to mention that there is a yellow flower girl in the house, and it is even more frightened.

Tong Hang lifted his true qi, his feet did not stop, he leaped on the roof of the high-rise building, and came straight in the direction of Miyagi.

Occasionally, there was an unkind gaze in the darkness, and when he saw him flying by, the cold light of the double-edged knife flashed, and he went straight to Miyagi without squinting, and he died down.

Tong Hang was on the roof of a high-rise building in Jinggongfang, Zhaohui, suddenly stopped, hid on the ridge of the roof, and looked ahead. Directly in front of it is really a high Miyagi castle wall. The bright red wall was dark red in the moonlight, and the hidden building on the wall showed a dim light, and occasionally a figure swayed. It seems that the Han general who is on duty at night is still working conscientiously under the lamp. He took out the topographic map drawn by Ma Chenghai from his arms, which he asked him to draw when he was in Haizhou. The location of this hidden building is on the corner of the palace wall, and it seems that the front palace wall should be the gunpowder bureau.

He put away the topographic map, quietly retreated to the eaves of the tall building, and turned over and went downstairs. After discerning the direction from the left and right, he inserted it from the left side and went straight to the moat behind the building.

Take out the hook rope from the back and throw it, when there is a crisp sound, put it on the head of the palace wall, gently swing across the moat, and squat on the corner of the palace wall. Scanning the surroundings and listening to the silence on the city wall, it is estimated that those Han generals are also hiding in the hidden building and squinting, otherwise the crisp sound just now, why didn't anyone come out to check?

Gently tugging on the rope, he quietly climbed towards the city wall. Climb to the top of the wall and slowly probe up, and can't help but be startled. I saw a Han general, standing facing him with a spear of more than three meters in his hand at the battlement. He hurriedly retracted his head, it was really unlucky! How did you put up this battlement? If you don't die, you won't die, and you can't live if you die! Grandma's, why can't you come over and cut the rope? Hey? And snoring? A faint snoring sound, Tong Hang couldn't help but be happy, and slowly stretched out his head to look over. Sure enough, I fell asleep! I'm closing my eyes! Paralyzing! You want to scare people to death!

I didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly turned over the battlement. Gently put away the hook rope, stuffed it into the backpack, and hurriedly ran to the other side. As he ran, he estimated the distance between the eaves of the powder bureau and the city walls. Running to the wall, his feet scrambled, and he threw himself into the eaves.

As soon as his feet stepped on the roof of the Gunpowder Bureau, he immediately threw himself at the ridge, climbed over the ridge, and lay down on his stomach, and glanced around.

Why is there no sentinel down there? Isn't there a sentinel in this? No matter what, no one is better! Tong Hang got up, flew down, and slowly dived forward along the corner of the gunpowder bureau. When I got to the corner of the house, I looked over, but saw that there were guards on the Yuhe Bridge in front of me. Looking down the Jade River, I saw rows of willow trees by the river. It seems that it has to be swept over!

Jump over the gravel path, get into the shadows of the trees, and swing across the Jade River with a hook and rope. Putting away the hook and rope and seeing that there was no one left and right, he hurriedly rushed across the gravel road, climbed onto the roof, looked ahead, and couldn't help but take a breath of cool air. In front of several pavilions, there is a moat, and the higher red city wall stands prominently, and the sentry on the wall walks around. That's the inner city!

Tong Hang sighed, since he came, he still had to go in and have a look! He threw himself forward, using both hook and rope and foot strength, crossed the attic, came to the top of the attic by the moat, crouched on the ridge, looked at the surrounding environment, looked for the sentry position, silently calculated the time between the sentry and the sentry, and calculated the time to fix the sentry and change the sentry.

Time was passing quietly, and the melodious drums on the bell tower opposite sounded. His calculation was decided, and his face became more solemn. This is the sentry post of the person who is full of food and idle? It's too meticulous, isn't it?

This moat is easy to cross, and it should be a straight house by the river when you lie on your stomach, and the moat is behind the house, hang the rope on the ridge of the roof, as long as the foot strength is strong enough, it should be no problem to block it. The question is how to climb over the inner city walls over there!

It would be nice if he was a Maoshan Taoist priest, and he wouldn't alarm anyone if he passed through the wall. It's a pity that I'm not, I can only climb over the wall, but the sentry on the wall is too good, a team passes by every five minutes, and the city wall is unobstructed, there is nothing to cover! What a hassle!

Tong Hang calculated, and always felt that passing through the city wall was a big hurdle! No matter what, cross the river first, go up and see, you can pass it, and it's not too late to turn back if you can't! Thinking of this, Tong Hang immediately bent down and turned over the ridge of the roof, put on a hook, took a rope, and went down the Buwa ditch lightly. Swinging across the river, standing at the foot of the city wall, he reached out and took a deep breath, like a gecko, and slowly climbed upward.

As soon as his left hand reached the battlement, Tong Hang slowly probed. Seeing a group of sentries approaching, he hurriedly retracted his left hand and put it in the crack in the stone. Damn, this crack in the stone can only poke half of a finger into it, and this is a real test of finger power! He clung to the wall, listening to the footsteps. One, two, three...... Ten! Well, the past ten! Tong Hang exerted his hands with both hands, bowed over the battlement, stepped out quickly with his long body, and followed the back of the team silently.

Ten people in front of them, without squinting, walked neatly. Tong Hang followed behind, quietly turned his head to look behind, and the fixed post behind him didn't look over, he couldn't help but take a breath! It's really lucky, it seems that the guy is also asleep, why do these people have the special function of sleeping standing up?

A team of sentinels in front entered the attic, and a team of sentinels in the back should probably come out. Without further ado! Tong Hang couldn't care about the dark whistle, and hurriedly rolled towards the wall inside! As soon as he put his hand on the wall, he quickly turned out, hung it on the wall, and turned his head to look at the attic behind him, where a group of sentry had just come out. It's dangerous! It is estimated that the dark sentry is also asleep, otherwise why didn't this huge figure be found? Maybe they don't think anyone will break into the inner city?

Slowly descending the city wall, as soon as my feet hit the ground, I couldn't help but let out a long breath. He discerned the direction and found that this courtyard was Renshou Palace, so he felt along the corner of the wall......

Cining Palace, a period of chaos.

Empress Dowager Zhang's face was like gold paper, and her breath was weak. She muttered, "Dezi, what you just said is true?" ”

An old eunuch knelt tremblingly in front of the couch, saw the empress dowager ask in a weak voice, hurriedly climbed over, got up, put his mouth in front of the couch, and said softly: "Do you remember when the emperor was seven years old when he climbed the rockery and fell down?" ”

The Empress Dowager thought hard, and there was such a thing in her mind, so she asked, "What is this......?" The mourning family still has some impressions. ”

"That year, the emperor fell from the rockery, his back hit the ground, the back of his neck was punctured by the sharp corner of the gravel, and he lay down for nearly three months, and the back of his neck was left with three scars as big as copper coins."

"This scar...... The mourners also remember. Could it be ......"

Dezi hurriedly said: "The old ancestor guessed very much. A few days ago, Dezi went to the Qianqing Palace, and happened to meet the emperor bathing, and the slave was going to wait outside, but the emperor heard the slave and the maid say that the ancestor had something important, and the emperor passed the slave and maid to go in, at that time the emperor was only wearing obscene clothes, and the slave and maid found that the emperor did not have the scar on the back of his neck, not only not, but not even a small scar. ”

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she suddenly breathed rapidly, grabbed her hands emptily, and her eyes suddenly became confused.

When Dezi saw it, he hurriedly turned his head and cried: "Imperial Doctor! Doctor! ”

When a few imperial doctors standing in the distance saw it, they hurriedly rushed over. The pulse of the pulse, the eyelid of the eyelid, the medicine bowl to feed the medicine, suddenly a rush of ...... (To be continued.) )
