Chapter 24: Atonement
Chinese The shadow hidden in the darkness stood still like a sculpture, until the ugly sound of the vigil pierced the silence of the air.
The sound of the gong gradually stopped, and the shadow still did not move, but the majestic palace gate in front of it slowly opened.
I saw a group of Zhenbei military guards walking out, and the original guards and patrols also gathered in the direction of the city gate.
Now is the time!
Yue's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood what the shadow was waiting for in the darkness.
However, his familiarity with the palace defense was really a big surprise to Yue.
After all, it is not the lieutenant he is in charge of the security of the palace now, nor is it the guard who has guarded the palace for many years.
The general personally led the heavy army in the north of the town to protect the safety of the palace, but Han Yi knew everything about the timing of the change of guards.
Yue didn't have time to think about it again, and the figure really moved.
I saw that the black shadow quickly swept towards the shadow in the left corner of the imperial city, and one jumped over the city wall.
"This Han Yi is not very good at kung fu, but he is familiar with these things of stealing chickens and dogs."
"Are we going to keep up?"
Yue looked hesitantly ahead, and the guards who had been gathered together and bowed their heads had regained their vigilance and gradually began to disperse around.
The moment when Han Yi chose it was the time when the military guards bowed their heads and handed over the most lax, but that opportunity was only for a moment, and now if you want to catch up, I am afraid it is impossible not to be discovered.
"Don't chase anymore, go back."
As he spoke, he turned around and left without hesitation.
The fox followed suspiciously, and waited until a cow entered before asking.
"In the middle of the night, what is Han Yi doing sneaking into the palace of Qi Kingdom?"
"Heh, there are no treasures in the palace of Qi Kingdom that can make Han Yi rush to it, and the only one who is worth taking such a big risk is people who sneak in in the middle of the night."
"People?"
Xing smiled disapprovingly, poured a glass of wine casually, and just wanted to bring it to his lips, but when he rolled his eyes, he saw that Yue was frowning and thinking about something.
After a pause, the wine glass in his hand turned around and did not enter his mouth, but followed his arm around the Yue.
"Don't think about it, warm up with a glass of wine."
"You really don't worry at all, tomorrow Han Yi will go back to the Northern Kingdom with Amber and them, but tonight he sneaked into the palace of Qi Kingdom at the risk of being in a different place, no matter how you think about it, it can't be a good thing."
Yue glanced at the torture strangely, and looked at his calm and relaxed appearance, he must have been prepared. In that case, then why should she that idleness, anyway, when the sky falls, there will always be him on top.
Thinking of this, the originally tense heart couldn't help but relax, and he drank the glass of wine with his hand in punishment.
But as soon as she drank this cup, another cup came up,
"Hmm."
One cup after another, Xing didn't even allow her to say anything if she refused, so he encircled her in his arms and poured her.
When Yue reacted, his mind was already dazed, not to mention anything Han Yi, even the handsome face in front of him that seemed to be smiling was in a water.
"Drunk?"
"Hmm... Well? ”
Yue subconsciously responded, but his brain was really not very bright, he obviously heard the sound of punishment, and when he realized what he was asking, it was already after the subconscious response.
The smile on the corner of the torture mouth deepened, and he quietly untied Yue's robe, leaned on the situation, and fell down around Yue.
"Sleep when you're drunk."
"Huh?"
In a trance, he always felt as if he had done something strange, but subconsciously felt that the embrace behind him was particularly reassuring.
The two feelings went up and down in her mind, so she didn't have time to tell the difference, so she fell asleep in a daze.
It was a rare good night's sleep for Yue, but for Han Yi, who sneaked back to a cow near dawn, it was almost tantamount to going to the Netherworld.
After Han Yi successfully infiltrated the palace, he was extremely careful to avoid the patrol and go straight to the imperial study, almost alarming the passing patrol several times along the way.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been familiar with the terrain and blind spots of the Yudu Palace for so many years in Yudu, he would have been shot into a hedgehog before he could even enter the palace gate.
But as soon as he approached the courtyard wall of the imperial study, he heard a sudden burst of shouting, and the fierce momentum made him almost out of breath.
"Who?!"
With that loud shout, the courtyard wall suddenly became brightly lit, and before he could take another step, he was surrounded by a group of military guards from the north of the town.
"Who am I, isn't this a gentleman I haven't seen for many days?"
Surrounded by a group of military guards, he walked out slowly, and when he saw Han Yi, his eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a very dangerous aura all over his body.
"The criminal minister Han Yi came to ask the prince for his guilt."
"Please? After a few months, he trespassed into the imperial study in the middle of the night, just to come to ask for sin? Didn't Mr. Han think that I was seriously ill, and even my brain was confused? “
The voice of the dead was slow and logical, and every word was not deliberate, but when the last word was spoken, it was like a thunderous force slammed into Han Yi's body.
Han Yi, who was originally half-kneeling on the ground, couldn't bear it anymore, and the beads of sweat the size of beans fell down in strings, and the bluestone floor under his knees had already broken into a pile of lime.
"The criminal minister did not dare, because of the special situation, the criminal minister had to make this decision, without the slightest disrespect, and asked the regent to give the criminal a chance to explain. When the regent heard this, he wanted to kill or chop off, and the guilty minister had no complaints. ”
staring at Han Yi without saying a word, Han Yi only felt a chill in his back, as if a cold blade was scraping his spine inch by inch.
Obviously, it was only a moment's effort, but Han Yi felt that it had been half a life as long, and finally waited until he retracted his gaze, and the weight on his body was like Mount Tai finally slowly subsided, and Han Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
But he didn't speak, so he had to continue to kneel on the ground, and he didn't know whether he didn't dare to get up or couldn't get up.
"Stand down and let him in."
After giving an order, he turned around and walked towards the room, and the guards outside the door scattered in response to the call, and no one cared about Han Yi, who was still standing in the distance.
Han Yi stood up slowly, and after getting up, he stood in place for a moment before walking towards the wide open door of the imperial study. As soon as Han Yi entered the imperial study with his front foot, the door on his back foot slammed shut.
"Mr. Han's crime of treason has not yet had time to be settled, and now there is another trespass in the palace, but I don't know how many heads Mr. Han has that can be used to apologize?"
"The sinner knows that his sin is unforgivable, but now he is taking the risk to ask the prince to give the sinner a chance to atone for his sins."
"Oh? Mr. Han might as well talk about it, how much merit can atone for the great sin of the Nine Clans. ”
"Han is alone, has no relatives, no reason, and no nine clans, even if the prince cures me of the big crime of punishing the nine clans, it is just the head of the criminal minister, but if the criminal minister is willing to help the prince seize the northern country, is it worth the prince to leave a cheap life for the criminal minister?"
"Help the king take the northern kingdom?"
He looked up and down silently, but for a while he showed a smile of unknown meaning.
"This king really underestimated Mr. Han, it seems that Mr. Han's identity is far more than a member of the Prime Minister's Office. But how does this king know if Mr. Han has a special plan for the northern kingdom? Why don't you ask Mr. Han to answer me a question first, does Ye Shuoguang's death have anything to do with Mr. Han? ”
Han Yi was shocked suddenly, but he already understood the intention of this question in his heart.
What he asked was not the answer to this question at all, but Han Yi's attitude.
Insisting on deception is tantamount to ruining his only chance with his own hands, but if he tells the truth, wouldn't it be tantamount to confessing to the crime of betraying the old master.
"The criminal minister is just a staff member, the prime minister insists on raising troops, and the criminal minister should be loyal. It is the righteousness of the monarch and the minister to help the prime minister to raise an army, but it is human nature for the criminal minister to prepare a way back for self-preservation. Although the criminal failed to prevent Xiang Ye from committing this murderous disaster, he felt worthy of Xiang Ye's many years of acquaintance. As for the detailed statement of the northern kingdom, the prince has his own discernment, and how can he allow the guilty ministers to quibble. ”
"Good human nature. Just a commander of the commander is really wronged by Mr. Han's great talent. But this king would like to ask, what is Mr. Han's intention to hide and be willing to listen to Ye Shuoguang's drive for so many years? ”
"Don't dare to deceive the prince, the criminal minister's surname is Tuoba, originally just a child of a small tribe in the Tuoba Department, more than ten years ago, the northern country has not been unified, and the largest tribal leader in the Tuoba Department is the four Tuoba Wei brothers, the four brothers burned and looted everywhere, and the tribe of the criminal minister was also wiped out, only because I was hidden by the clan along with several other children in the ministry This survived. Later, the Tuoba Division, which had long been controlled by the four Tuoba Wei people, was finally exterminated by the rest of the tribe, and the clansmen were killed and wounded, but the four brothers escaped by luck. Since then, the four of Tuoba Wei have no place to stand in the north, and they fled into the Qi country, but by chance, Ye Xiang appreciated and hid in the Xiangfu. The hateful criminal minister was too young and weak to slash the enemy, so he had to stay in the north and devote himself to learning the arts. As soon as he heard about the whereabouts of the enemy, he went south alone and vowed to avenge the blood revenge of the clan. However, the criminal minister did not expect that after these four people entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, they were deeply valued by Ye Xiang, and their martial arts were becoming more and more sophisticated, and they could not take revenge with the power of the criminal minister alone, so they had to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to make plans again. Unexpectedly, this has been waiting for many years, and now the great revenge has finally been avenged, and the guilty minister has finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish for many years."
He didn't answer for a while, but just stared at Han Yi intently, Han Yi met his gaze without dodging, but his heart almost jumped out of his throat like a drum.
