"In the Imperial Palace, there are many levels of guards, but each type of guard has a chief guard, and each chief guard is in charge of nearly 30 guards.

In the front hall, the chief guard is in charge of a hundred guards, mainly responsible for the safety and daily defense of the emperor's residence, while in the harem, the manpower is naturally not as large as the front hall, and the chief guard is in charge of thirty guards.

Of the thirty guards, ten were probes.

Detectives, that is, the main responsible for reconnaissance activities of the light skills are very good masters, they rarely participate in the war in peacetime, mainly responsible for monitoring the actions of everyone in the harem, they directly obey the emperor's orders, and do not obey the chief of the guard.

Therefore, if you calculate it this way, a chief guard in the harem is only in charge of 20 guards at most, as for who the chief of the guard you said obeys orders, in fact, the chief of the guard does not listen to anyone's orders, and the emperor rarely finds the chief of the guard at this level, and the ladies in the harem, in order to avoid suspicion, must also keep a long distance from the group of guards and the chief of the guard.

So, in your words, who do the guards live for? This issue is unclear to me so far. ”

After listening to Lu Mingyi's explanation, Yin Qi'an's heart was quite complicated at the moment, he didn't know what to do to solve this case in the shortest possible time.

But seeing that time is passing day by day, and the gambling contract with the national teacher is approaching day by day, he doesn't want to lose. But in this matter, he was a little helpless, and after thinking about it for a long time, Yin Qi'an finally had a very bold idea.

After saying goodbye to Lu Mingyi, Yin Qi'an's behavior was very normal and decent all day, washing and drying in Yongfen Fang, he was very busy, and when it was time to rest, everyone was tired and exhausted, and they were all lying on the bed enjoying this rare leisure time.

However, Yin Qi'an didn't mean to fall asleep, he got up and put on his clothes, covered his mouth and nose with a purple handkerchief, turned over and moved a few times, and left Yongfenfang.

If what Lu Mingyi said is true, the chief of the guard does not obey anyone, then there are only two possibilities.

The first is that the chief of the guard is in the palace, has his own unique object of service, and even harbors some kind of ulterior secret, and the second is very simple, the chief of the guard is the culprit behind the scenes.

However, all of this still needs to be followed by the chief of the guard tonight, to see where his main whereabouts are staying, and what one time does not represent, and if he appears in some places frequently twice or three times, it is obvious that the finger can be pointed there.

Yin Qi'an didn't notice it, not long after he left, another black shadow slowly followed from behind him, hanging tightly behind him.

In the harem, in the deep-walled compound, the direction of the patrol of various guards is arranged impermeable, and there are almost no blind spots in the field of vision, and it is very difficult to pass through the surveillance area and reach the guards' living area safe and sound in this situation.

But the most dangerous place is the safest place, after coming to the place where the palace maid comes and goes the most, Yin Qi'an gently knocked out a palace maid, took the lantern from her hand, lowered his head and slowly walked towards the guard's living quarters.

The living area of the guards is as Yin Qi'an expected, tight on the outside and loose on the inside, their main responsibility is not to guard their own living area, but to guard the bedrooms and public areas of each lady, so there are no guards on duty in the guards' living area.
