Chapter 31: Climbing the Wall in the Middle of the Night
For the next three days, Chu Yuan stayed in silence in the courtyard where he lived, and after receiving the news brought by his subordinates, after some thought, he would issue a new order.
The past three days have undoubtedly been tormenting for Chu Yuan, and he received news from the secret guard that several merchants from the Chu State wanted to visit the king of Yi, but in the end they were only received by the ministers accompanying the king of Yi, and they were easily dismissed.
Chu Yuan was naturally displeased when he got such news, but fortunately, the secret guard later got the news that those businessmen just admired this generation of kings and gave some priceless gifts, and wanted to pay homage to the supreme honor of the king of the next country, and had no other intentions.
Hearing such a result, Chu Yuan snorted coldly, relieved in his heart, but he couldn't help but mock those merchants, thinking that the next king could be seen if anyone wanted to.
On the fourth day, Chu Yuan still waited for news from the secret guards to determine whether the next king had colluded with people from Chu or other countries. However, in the evening, the news brought by Lu Qinuo was undoubtedly exciting, and at the same time, it also made people feel excited.
"You say, the next king decided to leave tomorrow and return to the next country?" Sure that the next country did not secretly collude with anyone, and came here purely to pray for the blessings of the country, Chu Yuan was relieved, but when he heard the news that they were going to leave tomorrow, he inevitably felt a tense heart.
"Yes, my subordinates received the exact news, and they also personally saw that the next king resigned to the abbot, saying that he would leave early tomorrow morning." Lu Qinuo could sense Chu Yuan's unconcealable excitement, but as if he didn't know anything, he humbly lowered his head, ignoring the light that flashed in his master's eyes.
"Go down!" Chu Yuan waved his hand, and after sending Lu Qinuo away, he was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up from the stool, took an ink-colored robe and put it on, opened the door and strode out.
The place where Chu Yuan was going was naturally Xiao Chengmo's, where the courtyard was, and which bedroom he lived in, Chu Yuan remembered clearly in his heart.
Walking quickly along the path, about half an hour, Chu Yuan came to the periphery of the courtyard where Xiao Chengmo lived. At this time, it was dinner time, because the next king resigned to the host, and the abbot personally entertained the next king to share dinner, and now the next king is still in the dining hall, so there are not many people who stay in the courtyard to defend.
"I'll take someone to distract the attention of the gatekeeper, you two follow closely behind the emperor, be careful, don't be noticed by anyone!" Cang Mo followed Chu Yuan with a few capable guards, hiding his figure behind a small hill, and after observing the defense and defensive position of the courtyard, Cang Mo arranged it like this.
Watching Cang Mo leave with two people, pretending to be a tourist who had strayed into this place, taking advantage of the fact that the guards outside the door were not paying attention, one turned over and stepped on the stone steps to jump onto the wall, and after looking around, he jumped down lightly.
"A few of you are hidden, if there is an accident, I will send a code, don't follow!" Ignoring the few people who were full of worry but did not dare to disobey the order, they were as light as swallows and swept through the darkness at a fast speed.
The layout of this courtyard appeared in his mind, and after the courtyard behind this cloister, it was where Xiao Chengmo lived. Just as he was about to pass through the corridor, he found a few guards patrolling on the opposite side, and after hurriedly dodging the pillar, he stepped on the pillar and jumped on the top of the corridor.
The cat was on the top of the porch, watching a few people on patrol walk through here, and when he stood up, he saw the obviously wide and delicate house at a glance. Chu Yuan took a deep breath, stepped on the bricks and tiles like a flying swallow, and flew to the roof.
There were four guards guarding the door, and Chu Yuan glanced down and found that he couldn't get in through the door. While he was pondering, he suddenly saw a small and beautiful garden on the left side of the house, and a window on the left wall for a view.
Chu Yuan walked over quietly, leaned down and groped for the window, and was pleasantly surprised that the window was not locked, but it was closed tightly, and a crack was staggered with a slight push.
Chu Yuan saw it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pout a wicked smile, grabbed the window eaves with both hands, jumped down and swayed slightly, and jumped into the window with just the right kick. Covering the window and adapting to the darkness in the room, Chu Yuan groped his way towards the inner room.
When he reached the inner room, he heard a noise outside, and someone came in with a lantern and lit the candlestick in the outer room. It seemed that the footsteps were about to go inside, but suddenly I heard a clear voice: "This king comes by himself, you go down!" ”
Then, I heard the maid of the palace answering the thin and glutinous voice, and the candlestick was placed on the table, and she bowed and bowed.
