Chapter 23 Pingnan Palace
The wind is still just as light, and the night is still just as quiet.
But Lu Xiaofeng knew that there might be ambush traps everywhere in this quiet night, and murderous crossbow arrows could be shot out at any time in this kind of wind.
Because this is the Pingnan Palace, a heavily guarded place that does not fall below the palace.
"There are more than six hundred and twenty guards in the palace, and they are divided into three shifts when they are on duty at night. ”
"There were 200 people in each class, and they were divided into six teams. ”
"These six teams of guards, some patrolling around, some guarding outside the prince's bedroom, and some ambushing in the courtyard. ”
"A group of guards outside the treasury, fifty-four men in groups of nine, staggered along the perimeter of the treasury from the hour onwards, with only two tea breaks in between. ”
Thinking of the information that his good friend Snake King asked for him, Lu Xiaofeng quickly shuttled through the eaves of the palace, and his posture was as flexible as a rabbit.
For some reason, he was a little bored in his heart, because Xue Bing wanted to come with him, but he left Xue Bing with the Snake King, and he always felt that it was not a good choice.
Shaking his head and concentrating, he knew that he must not be half-hearted at this moment.
He still has no clue about the embroidery thief, and he has no choice but to try how difficult it is to enter the Pingnan Mansion to steal.
There were several rows of bungalows in the courtyard, and from time to time there were bursts of snoring. The lights were still on in the large kitchen at the back, and it was clear that someone was preparing for the night snack for the guards who were about to return from their shifts.
Now it was time for the first shift guard and the second shift to change guards, and the third shift guard was sleeping soundly.
Lu Xiaofeng is not a thief, because he doesn't steal.
But stealing clothes from a group of sleeping young men was, to him, no difficulty.
Now he had stolen a suit of the guards' clothes, which were all tall and sturdy young men of similar stature.
His movements are fast, and when the guards change guards, there is always some confusion, and there will inevitably be negligence in the chaos, which is his best chance. He had already figured out the nearest way to the treasury.
On the way, he also met some guards who had just returned from their shift, but he did not dodge, and others did not pay special attention to him.
It's not unusual to be late when you change guards.
Among the hundreds of guards in the palace, there were already many newcomers. The area of the treasure house is very large, and on the left is a peach blossom forest, and now the flowers are gone.
Lu Xiaofeng hid in the woods, and when a team of patrolling guards walked by, he gently swept out and followed behind the last person.
Of course, his actions will never make a sound. The oncoming guards would not have noticed that there was an extra person behind this group of guards.
The guards were patrolling around the vault, and he followed behind. His heart was chilling. The walls of this treasure house were made of huge stones, and there was not even a single window, and it seemed that not even a fly could fly into it.
Lu Xiaofeng waited until the guards in front turned the corner of the house, and suddenly flew up to the roof. There may be air windows on the roof, and the tiles covered on the roof are not difficult to lift.
He knows that there are many people in the rivers and lakes who like to take this road when they commit crimes. Now he is like a gecko, swimming on the roof, and there is still no way.
He lifted a few roof tiles, and there were three layers of iron netting under the roof tiles, even if there was a sharp blade, it might not be able to cut it.
This treasure house is like a dense iron box, let alone flies, and it seems that even the wind cannot blow into it.
How did the embroidery thief get in? Lu Xiaofeng sighed softly, he really couldn't figure it out.
Next to the treasure house was a relatively low bungalow, which was dark and unlit.
He swept by like a swallow. Now he was completely desperate and just wanted to find a way out. Just as he was in the air, he suddenly saw a man stand up in the bungalow opposite.
It was a man in white, with a sword in his hand.
Seeing him, Lu Xiaofeng's heart sank, and so did the person.
He suddenly used the kung fu of "a thousand pound fall" and fell to the ground. At that moment, he saw another flash of sword light, stabbing from the opposite roof.
He had never seen such a brilliant and rapid sword light.
Suddenly, his whole person was already shrouded in sword qi, a sword qi that could make people even cold to the bone marrow.
Although the Ximen Blowing Snow Sword is sharp, and the single edge of Emei Yan's head is exquisite, it is flawless in terms of edge, but it is not as good as this sword.
Lu Xiaofeng naturally couldn't resist it, and he didn't dare to resist it at all.
His toes touched the ground, and the man began to retreat.
The sword light pursued like a rainbow of lightning. No matter how fast he retreated, he couldn't shoot as fast as this sword, not to mention that now he had no way to retreat.
His body was pressed against the stone wall of the treasury.
The sword light had stabbed into his chest like lightning, and even if he could dodge to the sides, it would be useless.
The change in his body will never change as fast as this sword. Seeing that he is dead!
But at that moment, his chest suddenly sank, as if it had been pressed against his back.
This sword had already calculated the strength and parts, and it was no longer possible to imagine that he would suddenly become thinner.
The change is simply incredible. When the sword light pierced in front of him, the force was exhausted, because his chest should have been pierced at this time, and the sword did not need to be used any more force.
A true master counts every bit of strength he throws at himself, and he will never waste a single ounce of strength, not to mention that this person is a master among masters! He would never have imagined that this sword would pierce the air.
But at this time, Lu Xiaofeng had no way to retreat, and if his sword was sent forward, Lu Xiaofeng would still die.
However, at this moment, Lu Xiaofeng had already made a move! He suddenly stretched out two fingers and clamped them, and he actually grabbed the blade of the sword!
No one can describe the dexterity and speed with which he pinched his fingers, and if it weren't for someone who saw it, he couldn't even believe it.
The man in white has also landed. His sword didn't exert any more strength, but just looked at Lu Xiaofeng coldly with a pair of cold star-like eyes.
Lu Xiaofeng was also looking at him, and suddenly asked, "Baiyun City Lord?"
The man in white said coldly: "Can you see it?"
Lu Xiaofeng sighed and said, "Except for the White Cloud City Lord, who else in the world can make this sword?"
"Then you're wrong, someone broke my sword not long ago. Ye Gucheng sighed.
Lu Xiaofeng was surprised: "Who is it?"
Ye Gucheng said: "A person with a single blade." ”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "It turned out to be the Yan head of Emei, so it's not surprising." ”
He paused: "The single-edged sword is a unique weapon, and Master Yan's martial arts attainments are even more extreme, and it is inevitable that the Lord of Ye City will fight with him for the first time." Of course, the name of the Sword Sect is not a lie, even if he is familiar with the single-edged sword, he may not win him. ”
A sigh appeared on his face: "Now Ximen has been thinking hard about how to crack the single-edged sword, he said that he has a way to deal with the single-edged sword, but he is not sure that he can win against Yanzhangmen." ”
"It turns out that in your hearts, I am so powerful, what an honor. A joking voice came.
Lu Xiaofeng looked up, and above the eaves, Yan She, Hua Manlou, and Jin Jiuling stood silently.
He suddenly sighed: "The biggest problem in my life is carelessness in making friends. ”
Hua Manlou said with a smile: "Do you think that we deliberately watched City Lord Ye waiting for you here, and we are not enough friends?"
Lu Xiaofeng grimaced and said, "You already knew that I would come, and you also knew that a sword unparalleled in the world was waiting for me here, but you were hiding by the side and watching the excitement." ”
Jin Jiuling said: "We do know that you will come, because you must come to try if anyone can enter the treasure house!"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "So you are just waiting here to see me, can you get in?"
Jin Jiuling admitted: "But we still waited until you went up to the roof before we found out about you!"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Then you just wait to see if I will be killed by the Ye City Lord with a sword?"
Jin Jiuling said: "You also know that he doesn't really mean to kill you!"
Ye Gucheng suddenly said: "Four months ago, I fought with the Mudao people, and he said that although my sword is exquisite, you will definitely be able to catch it." ”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "As they said, the sword you just now has no killing intent at all, otherwise I may not be able to catch it." ”
Ye Gucheng said: "So you are still Lu Xiaofeng." ”
Lu Xiaofeng's expression changed, and he sighed: "It means, if I can't catch it, I won't be Lu Xiaofeng?"
Ye Gucheng said: "If you can't catch it, then you will be a dead man." ”
Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "Dead people naturally have no name. ”
He suddenly looked at Yan She: "When did you arrive?"
Yan Shi said: "Come two days earlier than you." ”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "It seems that you have a good communication with City Lord Ye. ”
Yan Shi said coldly: "Because we are all people who don't drink, we can naturally talk." ”
Lu Xiaofeng pursed his lips: "I just like to drink." ”
Hua Manlou laughed: "Let's go, the prince of Pingnan invites us to drink." ”
