Liu Ziguang, who was invited to drink tea by Dongchang, actually returned unscathed, no wonder everyone wondered, anyone who entered the Dongchang Imperial Prison had to shed his skin if he didn't die, this master not only came back intact, but also seemed to be in good spirits, full of red light, it was really strange.

Peng Jingwei circled around him a few times, looked up and down, confirmed that there was no trace of a fight, and finally suddenly said: "You are powerful now, you don't get blood when you kill people, say, how many times did you escape after killing Dongchang?" He turned his face to Peng Jingrong and said, "Sister, let's hurry up and pack our bags and run, now he has caused a big disaster, I don't know if the city gate is closed." It's too late to run. ”

Liu Ziguang smiled and gave Peng Jingrong a look that said that he was safe, and shouted to everyone in the courtyard: "Don't worry, that person from Dongchang was sent by my friend, it's okay, everyone can take off their armor." Then he stepped forward quickly and whispered to Peng Jingrong, "Miss, come into the house to discuss important matters." The two entered the main room side by side, Peng Jingwei hurriedly followed but was immediately blasted out, "Children don't listen to adults!" Watch at the door. The angry mouth pursed, and the second lady of Lao Gao could only stand at the door, and no one was allowed to approach.

Briefly and concisely explain what happened in the morning, the eldest lady sat in the rosewood circle chair for a long time and did not speak, the Longjing tea in the purple clay pot was cold, Liu Ziguang felt a little uncomfortable, was the choice he made wrong.

"Fame is only taken from the horse, what a hero is a husband." Maybe this is the most suitable path for you, Peng Jingrong said slowly, the previous generation participated in the struggle for the throne, and the prince supported by his father is now just a fool living in Xuzhou, if he didn't have the strength to protect himself, I'm afraid the iron factory would not survive today. How many heads fell to the ground back then, how many wealthy families were ruined, and the blood in the capital flowed like a river, which still makes the people of Nanjing feel palpitations. Now that his sweetheart is going to participate in such a brutal political struggle, how can he be reassured.

However, a hero who is not willing to be silent cannot refuse this kind of opportunity, worship the marquis, and glorify the ancestors, which is the dream of all martial artists.

"I will convince Daddy to support you and the Emperor, but you must promise not to interfere with our Liguo Iron Works. The factory is too busy to take care of itself, and will not allocate too many manpower to you, so it can only provide weapons and silver. Although she knew that the risk was very high, Peng Jingrong still supported her sweetheart's decision without hesitation.

"Great, then I'll retire first, and I have to prepare something." Being able to get the support of the iron factory is tantamount to adding wings to a tiger, and Liu Ziguang is very satisfied.

Watching him leave the room, Peng Jingrong read softly, "Seeing the strange willow color, I regret asking my husband to find the marquis, I hope you don't make me regret the decision I made today........"

Liu Ziguang wants to prepare the necessary equipment for stealing the palace, first of all, work clothes, that is, the standard nocturnal clothes of the world's snitches, but pure black clothes may not have such a good stealth effect, Liu Ziguang decided to make a camouflage uniform, took out a white cotton practice uniform with tight clothes and narrow sleeves from his suitcase, and then sent Ding Libin to borrow some of the pigments for the eldest lady's painting, what ochre, azure, green, lake blue, golden, plus the ink of the study, miscellaneous painted on the clothes, mainly white, Black, cyan, yellow predominantly. Cyan and white are the colors of most of the walls and floor slabs in the city, yellow and red are the main colors in the palace, black mixes other colors to increase the visual blur at night, and the whole city camouflage uniform, the mask is pure black, only two eyes are exposed, and small holes are dug in the nostrils and mouth.

The waist is a black wide cow belt, which is pierced by Liu Ziguang with a lot of holes, used to hang tools, the flying tiger must be there, how can you look like a professional without the claws of the flying tiger; The protective weapon chooses a short and delicate sleeve arrow and a short knife, the sleeve arrow is hidden in the sleeve, controlled by the pull rope under the wrist, a buckle of the wrist, pointing where to hit, the arrow is quenched, and the throat is sealed with blood; The short knife was carried in his arms, a foot long, forged in steel, with an extremely thin blade and a serrated back, which could be used to pull door latches or break fences and iron locks.

Ecstasy incense is a prop for the flower thief, and there is no need to equip it for the time being, and you don't need to bring the small stones that throw stones to ask for directions and the meat and bones that bribe the wolf dogs. Pepper noodles that numb the dog's nose are still needed. The shoes are thin-soled fast boots, there is no sound when walking, and the soles contain a lot of thick lines, forming uneven lines, the grip and anti-slip ability has been greatly improved, and the hands are wearing leather half-cut gloves, Liu Ziguang is a snitch for the first time, and he has no experience, so he prepared these things with his imagination, and waited for the emperor's intelligence.

After lunch, the information was sent, a man with a saber ran to Lian Feng and said that he wanted to repair the scabbard, entered the shop and named Liu Ziguang, the original rice paper with the map of the palace was folded and hidden in the scabbard, and the man was sent away, Liu Ziguang spread the rice paper on the strip and studied it carefully.

The imperial city is located in the southeast of Nanjing, the palace city is wrapped in the imperial city, in front of the noon gate of the palace city, the left and right are lined up with the temple, the altar of Sheji; On both sides of the royal road in front of the Chengtian Gate of the Imperial City, on the left is the Zongren Mansion, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, the Hanlin Academy, and the Tai Hospital; On the right, there are the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the General Administration Division, Jinyiwei, Taichang Temple, Qintianjian and so on.

The layout of the palace city is somewhat similar to the Forbidden City in Beijing that Liu Ziguang visited, divided into two major parts of the front and the back bed, the front is the Fengtian Palace, the Huagai Palace, the Jinshen Palace, distributed on the huge platform in the shape of an I-shape, the back is the harem after the Qianqing Gate, the Qianqing Palace, the Kunning Palace and the East and West Six Palaces.

Liu Ziguang's goal is the Kunning Palace in the West Palace, that is, the residence of the Queen Mother, and the nearest road to the harem is the Bei'anmen Gate of the Imperial City, which is full of military camps, stationed Jinwu Guard, Government Army Left Guard, Yulin Left Guard; Not safe enough, or take the Xi'an Gate in the west to enter the imperial city, and then enter the palace city from the Xihua Gate, on both sides of this road are the inner treasury and the inner palace eunuchs, yes, just go to the west gate, not only the danger is small but also by the way to touch something valuable.

The palace guards are responsible for the work of the Jinyi Guard and the internal exercise, the Jinyi Guard is responsible for the front palace, and the internal Cao is responsible for the security of the harem, the so-called internal exercise, is a group of armed eunuchs, although they are eunuchs, but they are actually the descendants of the Queen Mother, their sentry posts and patrol routes, and shift change times are explained in detail under the drawings, and it seems that Zhu Youxiao's intelligence collection work has not been carried out for a day or two.

I have been studying the map and practicing climbing the house all afternoon, the two young ladies were pulled by Xu Xiyuan to go shopping, no one bothered, Liu Ziguang walked a few times on the roof of the Lian Feng, familiarized himself with the sense of the road, and the map was also memorized, just waiting for the dark action.

In the evening, a light rain falls, which is really beautiful, and the rain can not only reduce the crowd of outdoor activities, but also hide the traces.

After the dawn, it was already dark, and the light rain was still falling, Liu Ziguang put on a camouflage uniform, stepped on thin-soled anti-slip fast boots, took all his equipment, quietly slipped out of the room, ran onto the roof, followed the ridge of the fence, and then the wall of the neighbor's house, and marched silently towards the palace.

Ancient buildings are generally not as difficult to climb as modern high-rise buildings, and the buildings in the capital are relatively dense, which is like walking on the ground for a light master like Liu Ziguang. On the streets on a rainy night, there is no trace of pedestrians, and there are no lights in every house, and occasionally the sound of the husband knocking on the bang can be heard passing by, and the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who are in charge of patrolling the night are too lazy to come out to patrol.

Soon came to the root of the imperial city, the west city wall is guarded by the right guard of the government army, the Xi'an gate is closed, under the dim lantern on the city tower, several soldiers leaned against the corner to hide from the rain, although the city wall is high, but the angle of the inclined city bricks is very easy to climb, Liu Ziguang did not use the flying tiger claw, climbed up directly, a large section of the city wall is empty, no wonder the soldiers relaxed their vigilance, such a world, such weather, who does not open their eyes to the imperial city to commit crimes.

It's a pity that there are not only bold thieves, but more than one, Liu Ziguang, who had just slipped off the city wall, found that there was a strange shadow in front of him, and his movements were fast and agile, as if he knew the way, and he quickly walked around the wall of the inner treasury.

met a colleague, Liu Ziguang followed closely with the snitch in front, maybe this colleague can give a shortcut, looking at his appearance, entering and leaving the palace is as casual and natural as going to the second aunt's house in the neighborhood.

Xihua Gate is the west gate of the palace city, the city wall here is not better than the outside, painted vermilion, tall and smooth, even if it is a light skill master, it is difficult to jump up, Liu Ziguang stopped to see how his peers entered the city, only to see that the snitch found a piece of wall with a little red paint peeling, jumped straight up, two hands seemed to have a sucker, three times and two times went up, quietly disappeared in the high wall.

is really a master, Liu Ziguang praised, and also ran up, kicked a few feet on the city wall, jumped violently with strength, and the whole person jumped on the city wall as if out of gravity, the corner tower was brightly lit, and no one noticed that there were already two snitches in the palace.

The palace is heavy, the pavilion is forested, the carved beams and paintings are built, thousands of doors are thousands of doors, the gold is splendid, the momentum is magnificent, this is the impression of the Ming Dynasty palace to Liu Ziguang, and the Beijing Forbidden City that has been reduced to a museum is different, this is a living palace, there are countless concubines, palace maids, eunuchs, every palace, every corner, there may have been joys and sorrows, love and hatred of the palace story.

The target Kunning Palace, it is said that there are many rare treasures and ancient calligraphy and paintings hidden in it, gold is priceless jade, jade made into handicrafts is even more priceless, what Wang Xizhi's ink treasure, Wu Daozi's Danqing, that is a national treasure with no price.
