Moonlit Night, Swordsman, Forbidden City, what has these three things at the same time and makes people remember them all the time can only be the battle between Ximen Blowing Snow and Ye Gucheng.

The Forbidden City is a product of the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the royal palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Although the palace architecture of Mengyuan is not as magnificent as the Forbidden City, it also has an exotic flavor, after all, the Forbidden City and the Mengyuan Palace are both king's residences that control the world, and their luxury goes without saying.

After the green shirt and long sword jumped on the roof of the palace without the slightest smell of fireworks, Gu Qinghe smiled lightly, took off the hat on his head, and revealed his uneven and not too long hair and his delicate and handsome face.

Maybe he just took off the hat and his head was a little itchy, so Gu Qinghe scratched his head.

Not long after, Gu Qinghe smiled bitterly: "Alas, it's been nearly three months since I left Shaolin, and my hair has only grown so much, I don't know when I will be able to reproduce my long flowing hair." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qinghe squatted down, because a patrol team of more than 20 people came to the courtyard under the roof.

Gu Qinghe was not familiar with the palace, and he was not familiar with the shift system of patrolling guards, but his patience and observation were very good.

Gu Qinghe stayed on this roof for about twenty minutes.

During this period, there were ten patrol teams passing by, and the team passing by at this time happened to be the team that Gu Qinghe encountered when he first came to the roof.

After this observation, Gu Qinghe believed that there should be more than 200 patrol guards patrolling the edge of the palace alone, and they were divided into nine teams to inspect the courtyard every two minutes.

Nine is the most numerous, and nine teams also happen to match the emperor's preferences.

Seeing that the palaces in the marginal areas were so defended, Gu Qinghe said softly: "There are really many guards in the palace, and this palace is quite big, I don't know how long it will take to find Emperor Yuan's habitat?" ”

In fact, the defense of the Mengyuan Palace tonight is far better than before, because of the elegant demeanor shown by Gu Qinghe when he broke into the capital.

Gu Qinghe's martial arts when he broke into Dadu were extremely high, and he attracted the attention of many people, so the high-level leaders of Meng Yuan got the news that a mysterious martial arts master had broken into Dadu.

Today's world has long been full of wars, and there are too many assassins who have emerged in such an era, and the top leaders of Meng Yuan also know a lot about martial arts masters, and they are very afraid of these assassins incarnated by martial arts masters.

Otherwise, Meng Yuan's high-level would not have let King Ruyang set up a department dedicated to dealing with the forces of the rivers and lakes, and the county lord of Minmin would not have gained power because of this.

Knowing the news that Gu Qinghe, a mysterious martial arts master, had broken into the capital, could Meng Yuan's high-level leaders not strengthen their defenses? They are very protective of their lives.

The guards of the Mengyuan Palace are not so complete in normal times, they are often a team of more than a dozen people, patrolling every four minutes.

And the phenomenon at this time made Gu Qinghe misjudge, and he didn't know that his plan to break into the palace to assassinate Emperor Yuan had deepened the difficulty.

Thorn King, Thorn King.

Just thinking of these two words would make people excited, and after the patrol guards left the courtyard, Gu Qinghe stood up quietly.

Looking at the continuous palace not far away, the corners of Gu Qinghe's mouth were slightly hooked, and a smile was hung, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Qinghe touched the long sword in his hand, and with a slightly excited tone, he whispered, "It's time to move forward." ”

After speaking, Gu Qinghe took a gentle step on the roof.

Gu Qinghe's right foot was not contaminated with the dust on the roof, and his body suddenly advanced two or three meters, and then Gu Qinghe took another left foot, and he also advanced two or three meters.

Two or three meters, two or three meters, after a few times, Gu Qinghe finally stepped on the roof of another palace.

After the previous estimate, Gu Qinghe only waited for a while, and only waited for the guards patrolling the courtyard to pass over, and Gu Qinghe set off towards the palace inside.

The palace is worthy of being the emperor's home, Gu Qinghe walked on the roof of the palace all night before stepping all over the palace, and he knew the general distribution of the palace.

Of course, Gu Qinghe doesn't walk on the roof of the palace all the time, every three palaces, he has to wait for twenty minutes to observe the patrol rules of the guards, otherwise even if the Mengyuan Palace is big, it can't help Gu Qinghe, a great master of congenital perfection, to walk all night.

On this night, the palace was heavily guarded.

This night, Gu Qinghe figured out the rules of the patrol guards and remembered the general distribution of the palace.

It was also this night that Lord Min Min had been praying anxiously in the boudoir where she was now temporarily living.

Gu Qinghe rushed to Dadu by carriage, while Lord Min Min and others hurried on horseback.

And although the purpose of Gu Qinghe's trip was to assassinate the king, he was not anxious in his heart, so he delayed for some time on the way, so that Gu Qinghe stepped into the capital city nearly half a month later than the county lord Minmin.

After Lord Min Min was rescued by her brother Wang Baobao, Lord Min Min came up with a plan to rebel.

Of course, her plan is just to follow the trend, she wants to use the wind of Gu Qinghe to assassinate Emperor Yuan, and help her father King Ruyang, who refuses to rebel, to make up his mind, and then ascend the throne to ensure the safety of her family.

Lord Min Min had calculated the specific time for Gu Qinghe to come to Dadu and assassinate the king.

Everything was as Lord Min Min expected, the time when Gu Qinghe stepped into the palace was indeed this night, and this night Gu Qinghe did not directly assassinate Emperor Yuan, but made a rough reconnaissance of this palace.

After learning about the chaos at the gate of the city from his spies in the afternoon, Lord Minmin guessed that the person who broke into the capital should be Gu Qinghe, because only Gu Qinghe fit such a scenario.

There are some spies in most of the rivers and lakes, and they want to quietly enter the capital, so this intruder with strong martial arts can only be a lone wanderer.

According to the spies' reply, the strength of the intruder is extremely strong, and the county lord of Minmin knows that Gu Qinghe will assassinate Emperor Yuan during this period of time, so such a simple guess The county lord of Minmin can certainly guess.

Lord Min Min is very smart, according to her understanding of Gu Qinghe, coupled with the speed of the horses, she has estimated the approximate time when Gu Qinghe will enter the capital, but she is not sure whether Gu Qinghe will directly assassinate Emperor Yuan, otherwise she will not pray tonight.

The rooster crows and the sun rises.

Looking at the bright light on the window, Lord Min Min, who had not closed his eyes all night and was sitting in a chair, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lord Min Min patted his chest, smiled slightly, and said, "Fortunately, fortunately, there is no news of an assassin breaking in the palace. ”

Then Lord Minmin's eyes involuntarily looked at the brazier beside the bed.

The brazier in the house serves two purposes, one is to raise the temperature in the house, and the other is to destroy the privacy of the owner.

There was a trail of ash in the brazier.

Looking at these ashes, Lord Minmin's memory returned to yesterday evening.

Yesterday evening, Lord Min Min received a secret letter from her brother Wang Baobao.

This secret letter was used by Wang Baobao to report the good news, and the information recorded on it was translated by the unique technique of the Ruyang Palace, which means: Minmin, I have persuaded my father, my father has led the army to march forward for seven days, and the army will be able to arrive in Dadu in the early morning of about two days, how is the development in the capital? Will the Great Khan really go to Immortal Heaven tomorrow night?

Changshengtian is the holy place in the hearts of the children of Meng Yuan, it is a fictional paradise, and the Great Khan's trip to Changshengtian is Wang Baobao's euphemism that Emperor Yuan died and returned to the west.

Before the county lord of Minmin and Wang Baobao separated, the county lord of Minmin told Wang Baobao to minimize contact, otherwise the imperial court might find out in advance and make arrangements, so that her Ruyang royal family would be in a catastrophe.

However, Wang Baobao is still not as calm as the county lord of Minmin, he still sent such a secret letter, but the good thing is that this secret letter was destroyed by the county lord of Minmin before it fell into the hands of others.

After not resting all night, Lord Min Min was also a little tired, and after she yawned, she whispered: "Even if Daddy and Big Brother march secretly, the imperial court should be able to get the news?" However, until now, the imperial court has not reacted, and it seems that the current imperial court is indeed too dull, but my plan has also increased the possibility of success. ”

"However, it is also a disadvantage that the imperial court has not received the news of the return of the army led by Daddy, which is not good for the assassination of that lewd thief, who knows which concubine the Great Khan will spend the night there tonight? Wouldn't that whore thief probably not be able to find the Great Khan? ”

Speaking of staying overnight, Lord Minmin's face turned slightly red, but after a moment, she withdrew her shyness and continued: "Without the sense of crisis brought by the Great Khan, the guards in the palace will not be stronger, which is not conducive to the lewd thief besieging the prostitute after assassinating the Great Khan, it seems that this sense of crisis needs to be passed on to the Great Khan." ”

Then Lord Minmin stood up and said, "Okay, let me deliver the news of Daddy's return with the army." ”

After saying that, Lord Min Min walked towards the bed.

……

The Mengyuan court was indeed corrupt and mediocre, and even if the king of Ruyang led his army to a nearby city, the Yuan emperor did not get the news that the king of Ruyang was about to march to the capital.

After resting for a few hours, having lunch and dinner, when the sun was setting, the county lord of Minmin asked the spies to spread the news of the king of Ruyang and the army to the palace and to the ears of Emperor Yuan.

According to the information in Wang Bao's confidential letter: The king of Ruyang and the army should enter the capital in the early morning of tomorrow.

However, the news that the county lord of Minmin passed to Emperor Yuan was that the time when the king of Ruyang and his army entered the capital should be tomorrow evening.

The mistake of time naturally made Emperor Yuan misjudge, but time only passed for half a day and it was able to make Emperor Yuan restless, Emperor Yuan would convene ministers tonight, so that he would not be fortunate to concubine, and Gu Qinghe would know the specific location of Emperor Yuan.

Lord Minmin has always thought: Gu Qinghe is a master of art and bold, even in front of everyone, Gu Qinghe will assassinate Emperor Yuan, and the reason why Gu Qinghe did not act last night was that Gu Qinghe could not find Emperor Yuan, and Gu Qinghe was afraid of startling the snake.

The county lord of Minmin knew that Gu Qinghe was smart, but she knew even more that Gu Qinghe had confidence in his own martial arts, so the county lord of Minmin made a correct prediction again.

……

At night, it was deep again, and Gu Qinghe stepped on the roof of the Mengyuan Palace under the illumination of the moonlight.

In the evening, Emperor Yuan received the news from the spies he had planted in the palace of Ruyang, and then Emperor Yuan panicked, and he immediately summoned his ministers to discuss the matter.

Although it was late at night, the ministers who came to discuss the matter in the evening had not retreated, and they were still discussing countermeasures with Emperor Yuan.

The anxiety of Emperor Yuan and his ministers affected the people around them, and the palace was also densely guarded because of the collective tension of these people.

Although the density of guards made it difficult for Gu Qinghe to sneak into the palace, from the whispered discussions of these guards, Gu Qinghe still learned the news that Emperor Yuan was discussing with the minister.

Last night, Gu Qinghe figured out the general distribution of the palace of the Mengyuan Palace, of course he knew where the meeting place of the Yuan Emperor and the ministers in the Mengyuan Palace was, Gu Qinghe sneaked towards the meeting place without hesitation, and those dense guards did not delay the speed of his sneaking.

The dense guards only existed on the periphery of the palace, and after quietly passing through these crowds, Gu Qinghe finally sneaked to the roof of the palace hall.

Although there were many fewer guards in the inner palace, from the footsteps of these guards, Gu Qinghe could still hear their strength, and knew that their guard strength was only stronger than the outer guard force.

The main hall of the palace is the meeting place of Emperor Yuan and his ministers.

Although Gu Qinghe's current position can be regarded as the top of Emperor Yuan's head, and Gu Qinghe, who is on the roof, can still rely on his profound skills and good hearing to faintly hear the conversation between Emperor Yuan and the minister, but Gu Qinghe is not impulsive, he did not immediately appear and assassinate Emperor Yuan.

Because from the previous sneak, Gu Qinghe knew Emperor Yuan's caution and prudence, the outer and inner palaces were so defended, would there be a lack of defense in the hall below?

I'm afraid there are still a few innate martial artists waiting for me below, right? Gu Qinghe thought about it.

Time passed little by little, and the night was getting deeper and deeper.

The deep moonlit night deepened everyone's exhaustion, and Emperor Yuan's deliberations with the ministers were still fruitless.

However, the physical exhaustion is really torturous, even if Emperor Yuan and the ministers are still worried about the upcoming King of Ruyang and his army, but they also yawn one after another in the palace hall.

tired, makes people negative; Tired, let people slack off.

Just after Emperor Yuan yawned again, a courtier finally spoke up and said, "Your Majesty, go and rest for a while, when Your Majesty wakes up, Weichen will definitely offer good advice to Your Majesty." ”

This courtier is one of the few people in Meng Yuan who is not mediocre, he got the news that King Ruyang is about to enter the capital long before Emperor Yuan got the news, and the news he got is still true.

However, he is above the court but he is in the camp of King Ruyang, so it is beneficial for King Ruyang to lead the army into the capital, how can he pass the news to Emperor Yuan?

He just had to pretend that he didn't know, so that no matter whether the King of Ruyang won or not, he would be invincible.

Of course, although he belongs to the camp of King Ruyang in the court, there are very few people in the court who know about this matter, otherwise everyone knows that he is the king of Ruyang, will Emperor Yuan keep him and not kill him?

Emperor Yuan nodded with satisfaction, dragged his tired body, and said: "It's still Aiqing who understands me, and after I get through this difficulty, I will definitely reward Aiqing." ”

The courtier immediately bent down and pretended to be overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, when Your Majesty wakes up again, I believe that Weichen's good plan will also come out." ”

Seeing that this minister was so confident, Emperor Yuan couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Okay! Good! Good! Since Aiqing is so confident, then I will go to rest first. ”

Then the ministers said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty."

……

After Emperor Yuan left with the support of the eunuch, the minister said in his heart: "How can I have any good plan, about an hour later, the king of Ruyang will be able to enter the palace, even if he deceives the king there?" ”

"Alas, my body is too tired to hold on, otherwise I wouldn't have told such a lie."

The fact that this minister did not pass on the news of the king of Ruyang to Emperor Yuan shows that he still thought that the king of Ruyang was more likely to succeed.

And after discussing with Emperor Yuan and other ministers for a long time, this minister felt that King Ruyang would win, otherwise how could he dare to put his eggs in one basket and commit this crime of defrauding the king?
