Chapter Twenty-Four: Breaking into the City Lord's Mansion at Night

In the following time, Hua Wanying briefly explained the general situation of the mission to Mo Qianying. The organization to which she and Old Man Lin belonged wanted to get a confidential document in the treasure trove of the City Lord's Mansion, and the original plan was for her to get the opportunity to enter the City Lord's Mansion as an Oiran, and then work with Old Man Lin to steal things.

However, the security of the City Lord's Mansion was tighter than they imagined, and before they could make a move for the first time, Old Man Lin was discovered by the guards and seriously injured. In desperation, they found the shopkeeper of the inn, and pulled him into the gang through various coercion and temptations, trying to meet the members of their organization through the interface of the inn, not wanting the city lord to be killed before the plan began.

Due to the death of the city lord, their organization did not dare to act rashly, otherwise they would be found by hostile forces. It just so happened that Mo Qianying appeared at this time and asked them about the City Lord's Mansion, so the innkeeper issued a task to let Mo Qianying replace Old Man Lin to assist Hua Wanying to infiltrate the City Lord's Mansion.

Mo Qianying had to sigh at the power of the Oneiroi system, and he had actually begun to arrange the development of various plots in places that players didn't know, but he also understood that this was just a prefix for a large-scale task, maybe what Lin Yan was working on now was also a large-scale task, and he had to catch up with the progress before she completed it, otherwise he would have no chance once the task was over.

Mo Qianying and Hua Wanying continue to deduce the plan of action for this night, although Hua Wanying is an NPC, but the intelligence given to her by the system is obviously much stronger than those street vendors. According to Mo Qianying's experience, Hua Wanying is afraid that she is an important character in the plot she is in, but unfortunately no matter how much he knocks on the side, he can't find out the organization behind her.

This is the first time that Mo Qianying has encountered unknown things since his rebirth, and in the last life, all his thoughts were on the construction of the guild and the PK battle between players, and he didn't know much about the world plot outside the sect plot, except for the big plot released by the system every time, and he usually went to the forum to learn about some interesting small tasks when he was fine.

I have to say that this unexpected task this time made him interested in the plot of the game.

Time in the game passed quickly, and the sky quickly darkened in the discussion between the two, and when the sound of the watch sounded, two black shadows jumped up from the roof of the drunken flower building, and rushed to the city lord's mansion between the ups and downs.

The flying between the buildings was naturally no problem for Mo Qianying, who was equipped with the Flying Shadow Claw, and to his surprise, Hua Wanying was able to follow him closely without the help of tools. Looking at her easy look, she obviously took care of Mo Qianying's lame speed.

With this skill, Mo Qianying concluded that she was at least a level 70 elite, and when she thought about it, she suddenly felt apprehensive. I was only in my early 10s and took on a level 70 task, and I really don't know if it was lucky or unlucky. But in this way, he suddenly had doubts about the task that Lin Yan received, it was obviously impossible to kill the city lord It was obviously a low-level task, what was her purpose, she had to complete this impossible task from the beginning.

Thinking too much gave Mo Qianying a little headache, he shook his head, took a deep breath, and then found that they had come to the roof opposite the City Lord's Mansion.

"There will be a change of guard in the City Lord's Treasury in one moment, but before we can do that, we have to sneak around first." Hua Wanying took out the scroll that she had shown Mo Qianying before from her arms, and said while looking at it: "The guards outside the City Lord's Mansion are divided into three batches, and the shift changes of each batch are just staggered, but their arming is not leaky. ”

Mo Qianying also took out the scroll from his arms, and quickly flipped to the distribution map of the guards of the City Lord's Mansion. The patrol routes of the guards are recorded in detail above, and some markings are made at the intersection of the patrol routes.

"Because their patrol route is so perfectly designed, once one of the teams stops somewhere because of something, then there is a gap in the patrol route." Hana Sakura pointed a few points on the map and said to Mo Qianying, "All you have to do is help me create these opportunities and make sure not to trigger their vigilance before I return." ”

"So I'm bait?" Mo Qianying pointed at herself, a little surprised.

"Do you want to go to the treasure trove with me?" Hua Wanying narrowed her eyes and showed a charming smile again, "But after the death of the city lord, the Xia Wangfu took over this place, and now the treasure house is guarded by the master of the Xuan Bang of the Xia Wangfu, if you insist on going, I have no opinion." ”

"The Mansion of the Prince...... That's still it. When Mo Qianying heard this name, she immediately chose to give up.

The Xia Wangfu is one of the major schools with the most players in the game, and the other identity of the head of the family is the cousin of the current emperor. In the background of the game, the prince was born into civil strife, and was brought up by the palace maid out of the people. When he learned of his life as an adult, he took the friends he made in the rivers and lakes to help the current emperor quell the rebellion, so he was posthumously recognized as a generation of chivalrous kings by the imperial court.

It is precisely because the Xia Wang Mansion has such a background that once the disciples of the Xia Wang Mansion enter the four lists of Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, they will automatically have the official position granted by the system. Therefore, if you accidentally cut the four masters of the Xia Wang's Mansion in the usual popularity, then you will be charged by the system with the hat of attacking the imperial court officials, and it will not be as simple as hanging up in the prison at that time. Of course, on the other hand, if the masters of the four rankings kill innocents indiscriminately, they will also be removed and hunted down, which also makes many players jokingly call them lackeys of the court.

And this rule also applies to NPCs, which is why Mo Qianying didn't want to go as soon as she heard that it was the Xia Wang's Mansion.

Although the role of Mo Qianying in the plan is only to drag the guards and create a time difference for the guards to patrol for Hua Wanying, this task was originally reserved for level 70 players to do, and under normal circumstances, this task is simply difficult for the current Mo Qianying. Not to mention whether his various attributes can support him to complete these arrangements, his pitiful skills alone can't support him to do too many arrangements.

But fortunately, Mo Qianying has a wealth of experience that ordinary players don't have, and he conducts various infiltration activities in the national war zone all year round, compared to the uncertainty of players, NPCs with fixed action modes are not too challenging for him. After a brief observation, a rough course of action was formed in his mind.

"The shift is ready to start, and we can't afford to delay any longer." Hua Wanying urged the motionless Mo Qianying, reminding him that the mission time was running out.

Mo Qianying took a deep breath, and the Flying Shadow Claw popped out in response and brought him to the opposite eaves, without the slightest pause, Mo Qianying turned around and hung upside down the beam, silently flashing into the shadows of the column. At this moment, a group of patrolling soldiers came from around the corner, walking through the corridor in front of Mo Qianying with neat steps.

Mo Qianying held his breath, his mind quickly simulating the path of each patrol, and after this group passed by, another team of guards would appear at the intersection diagonally opposite, and their time interval was just enough to ensure that the main road was in view. If Hua Wanying wants to pass this first guard, she must drag the next team of people.

Frontal conflict is definitely not good, the guards here have a hatred chain mechanism, and if one of them is moved, it will trigger the alert state, and when the time comes, let alone come in, it will be difficult to get out.

Mo Qianying tossed the lancet in his hand and threw it diagonally. The sound of the lancet breaking through the sky was especially loud in the silence of the night. Sure enough, the team of guards who appeared diagonally heard the movement, and immediately stopped and looked in the direction where Mo Qianying was.

Mo Qianying hid behind the pillar and didn't dare to make the slightest movement, while the captain of the guard had already slowly walked over. Mo Qianying's eyes swept around, and found a drainage channel under him, so he turned over and dodged in, and crawled forward with his hands and feet.

The captain of the guard walked over to the pillar and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he turned and returned to the group. At this point, the original patrol team turned back again, passing through the hallway and walking to the other side.

The moment the two teams left, an extremely fast figure swept through the air and fell to the ground silently, and as soon as it touched the ground, it immediately flew out diagonally and disappeared on the cornices on the other side.

Mo Qianying got up from the gutter and patted the strange-smelling dirt on his body, and the Flying Shadow Claw popped out towards the cornice opposite, and flew with him onto the eaves where the cherry blossoms disappeared.

By the time Mo Qianying stood firm on the roof, Hua Wanying had already silently solved the four secret sentinels on the roof, and her clean body strengthened Mo Qianying's previous conjecture.

Hua Wanying squatted on the cornices and looked down on the guards patrolling back and forth below, she turned her head to look at Mo Qianying, and said in a deep voice: "Next, we have to rush over in one go, otherwise once they find us, we won't have any chance." ”

"I'm ready!" Mo Qianying looked ahead with a grim expression, and the muscles in her whole body were completely tense.

Hua Wanying looked at him with an approving expression, and then stretched out three fingers in front of the two of them, counting down in turn. When the last finger was flexed, the two of them flew out of the air like falcon eagles, and only two faint black shadows could be seen in the night sky.

The guards were quick to notice, but only aware of the noise, and without spotting their target, the guards paused for a moment before leaving. Mo Qianying and Hua Wanying rushed directly through the first three lines of defense without stopping, during which the two tacitly cooperated, guiding the guards to reveal the blind corners of their vision, and easily came to the treasure house of the City Lord's Mansion.

After approaching the treasure house, Hua Wanying was obviously a little excited, but she didn't act immediately, but quietly looked at the dark entrance to the treasure house, as if waiting for something.

Mo Qianying didn't make a sound to disturb her, he knew that she was waiting for the Xuanbang master of the Xia Wang Mansion near the treasure house to change shifts.

The night sank like water, and the clouds in the sky blocked the moonlight, leaving only a vague outline hanging in the middle of the sky. Mo Qianying looked at the blurred moonlight, and suddenly remembered the first night she spent in the game, which was also such a hazy moonlit night.

It's just that at that time, I was chased and killed so much that I didn't dare to go back to the city, and spent a miserable night in the wilderness. Looking back now, my state of mind seems to be very different.

"Ready."

Hua Wanying reminded in a low voice, pulling Mo Qianying's thoughts back. His eyes immediately fell on the door of the treasure house, just in time to see two tall figures in dark red official uniforms coming out of it. Two other men dressed in the same clothes walked up to them and exchanged cards and keys, all the while briefly talking.

Hua Wanying squinted her eyes and stared at the four people at the door for a moment, and she said to Mo Qianying without looking back: "Wait for the front two to go away, you will lure all the nearby guards away, and these two people will be handed over to me to deal with." I'll signal that I'll leave Windfall City when the time comes, and you can try to escape to the Inn, where there is a secret passage to help you escape from your pursuers. ”

"Hmm...... Well? What the! Mo Qianying reacted and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, "You mean I'm going to run away with the more than a hundred people below?" ”

Hua Wanying was obviously extremely dissatisfied with his fuss, and after giving him a blank look, she said angrily: "Otherwise, what do you think the Flying Shadow Claw that Old Man Lin gave you is for?" As long as you make sure to keep walking on the roof, the guards won't be able to catch up with you. Remember to run in the direction of the inn, or you won't be able to escape once you are outflanked. ”

Mo Qianying, who was difficult to ride a tiger, had to hold back a bitter gourd face and agree, and at this time, the masters of the Xia Wang's Mansion below had also completed the shift, and the other two had already walked away, and the other two had not had time to lock the door.

"Do it!"

Hua Wanying drank clearly, and two cold lights flew through the air to take the two masters behind the door. And Mo Qianying didn't have time to appreciate Hua Wanying's skills, and at the same time as Hua Wanying shouted to make a move, he was kicked off the eaves and fell between the two patrolling guards in a daze.

"Someone invaded! Alert! ”

The two teams of guards shouted at the same time, and Mo Qianying didn't have time to think about anything else, and with a lifting of the Flying Shadow Claw in his right hand, he swept up to the roof and galloped away in the direction of the door.

"Shoot the arrows!"

A loud roar frightened Mo Qianying so much that he almost fell off the roof, and he looked sideways to the side, and found that there were already three rows of archers standing in the diagonal clearing, and the bows and arrows in the hands of the guards in the front row were off the string. Powerful arrows let out an air-tearing screech and came towards him overwhelmingly.

"I'll wipe it, I'll wipe it, I'll wipe it!" The Ink Thousand Shadow Monster screamed and turned over and hid on the other side of the roof, clinging to the shadow of the ridge of the roof and not daring to move, almost at the same time as he turned over, the glazed tiles made a violent and rapid cracking sound, and the backbone of the Ink Thousand Shadows pressed against the roof, feeling a short but powerful vibration.

This power! on the body and don't just open a hole!

Mo Qianying was afraid for a while, and at the moment when the first round of arrows ended, he took out two lancets and threw them towards the roof on the side. The flying knife struck on the tile surface with a sound similar to footsteps, and Mo Qianying seized the opportunity to bow down in the opposite direction, and at this moment, the place where the lancet fell was instantly smashed into a pile of broken tiles by dozens of flying arrows.

The Flying Shadow claw firmly hooked on the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and Mo Qianying struggled to pull it, and the whole person flew towards the gate, and with him flew out, as well as the guards who climbed the roof and the bows and arrows in the sky.

"Lao Tzu fought with you!"

Mo Qianying turned around and threw out two lancets, which struck the guard's head with precision, causing the two guards who were biting behind him to stagnate, and taking advantage of this gap, Mo Qianying retracted his shadow claws and turned around to pull one of the guards in front of him. When the guard saw Mo Qianying take the initiative to pull him over, his face suddenly showed joy, and he raised the big knife in his hand to slash over.

The guard's broadsword finally stopped on top of Mo Qianying's head, and he could no longer advance for half a minute, because the ensuing dense array of arrows killed him on the spot.

Mo Qianying volleyed up the eaves of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, glanced back at the guards who had already raised their longbows, and was so frightened that he immediately hung the eaves opposite with the flying shadow claws, and instantly disappeared into the night.
