In the room on the second floor, Song Nan slowly took off the armor on his body, put on a black night suit in an orderly manner, wrapped his head and face layer by layer with black cloth with the help of Wang Yong, tied his belt and carefully checked the two double-barreled firearms on the table, and then cherished them into his leather bag and carried them behind him.

Wang Yong was also dressed as a nocturnal walker, his head and face were tightly wrapped, and he was carrying a large bundle of ropes on his back, and iron claws hung on one end of the rope.

"My lord, did you really decide to go for yourself? In fact, it is enough to be humble. Wang Yong said.

"Are you afraid that I will hold you back? My kung fu is indeed not as good as you, but I am not looking for someone to work hard, just to find out, this is not to seek merit but to seek no danger, what are you afraid of? I'm not going to hold you back, and if you hadn't been clamoring to go, I'd have gone alone. ”

Wang Yong rolled his eyes and was silent, Lord Song is this temper, he likes to take risks in person, when he attacked the thief's nest in the Taihang Mountains last time, he almost had a leak, and was captured alive by Liu Liu and locked up.

"Don't murmur in your heart, Hou Dabiao begged me for half an hour, did I promise him? After following me for so long, don't you know my temper? Song Nan waved his arms, trying to see if the things on his body were round and casual.

Wang Yong blew out the candle flame and silently opened the back window and said, "My lord, let's go." ”

Song Nan smiled, stretched out his hand to support the window sill and jumped, his body fell on the platform under the window like a fallen leaf, slowly moved to the edge of the platform, stretched out his hand to climb the stone on the edge, and his body flipped over, his feet had hooked the pillar of the back porch, and then silently slid down the pillar and fell on the grass.

Wang Yong silently cheered, concocted as a method, and soon came to the ground, the two of them walked quickly in the snow, and after a while, they arrived at the backyard wall, listened for a while, and there was no movement outside the courtyard wall, Wang Yong said in a low voice: "Hou Dabiao led people to go crazy in front, and these guys in the back seem to be attracted away." ”

Song Nan said: "Go!" ”

Wang Yong threw out the hook hook to hook the hospital wall, climbed to the top of the outer wall of the snow viewing building like an ape in three times and two times, and crouched on the wall to observe for a while, to make sure that no one was watching, the two quickly climbed over the courtyard wall and disappeared into the streets and alleys of the night.

On the night of heavy snowfall, the whole town of Ningxia fell into a deep sleep early, the weather was extremely cold, the ice ridges on the eaves were as thick as children's arms, and there was no abnormal sound in the streets and alleys except for the sound of dogs barking. The two of them walked briskly along the rocks under the eaves of the street, dodging the occasional patrol of soldiers, and half an hour later, the tall walls of King Qing's Mansion lay in front of them.

"We have to enter through the back wall, the palace in front of the palace is densely populated, and there must be a lot of guards, and the map is clearly drawn, and there is a garden behind, although there must be guards, but it is easier to enter." Song Nan whispered.

"Your Excellency is right, let's go around in a circle." Wang Yong nodded in agreement.

The two retreated back into the alley, circled far away, approached the northwest corner of the palace from the direction of the Confucian Temple Square, and under the cover of a row of tangled trees, the two successfully crossed the open area to reach the palace wall. After a little respite, the two looked up, but when they saw the wall more than two feet high standing in front of them, they suddenly felt a huge pressure, it was not easy to climb such a high wall, but before Song Nan could cheer up, Wang Yong had slowly removed the rope from his shoulder and tidied it up lightly.

Song Nan looked at the direction, this is the northwest corner of the palace, according to the map drawn by Zhu Changshun, this should be the back garden of the palace, there is nothing else here except a few gardeners and handymen who take care of the back garden; Of course, there must be such local guards, and as long as the guards are avoided, the probability of being discovered is greatly reduced.

Today, Song Nan did not plan to reach the place where Jin Yiwei secretly sped on Zhu Fu before his death, according to Zhu Changshun's map, the courtyard where Zhu Fu sat and the miscellaneous servants lived was on the side of the Cunxin Palace, and the place where the second entrance was close to the third entrance, and it was unknown how many guards there were in the middle to arrive there.

Song Nan's purpose is actually to explore the way, observe and observe the laws of the guards of the palace, and only after finding out can he really act, and it will definitely not be possible to drill blindly. Touching the palace is a very secret thing, in fact, even Yang Yiqing didn't know that Song Nan was going to act tonight, although he knew that Song Nan had the intention of entering the palace to explore. Those nonsense in the evening Song Nan was also a show, not only from Yang Yiqing's family, but also from those Huizi servants in the building, these servants are all from Qingwangfu, Song Nan absolutely believes that there must be an eyeliner installed by King Anhua to monitor and eavesdrop among these guys, just to not show their stuffing, these people are very cautious, and they will not show flaws.

The iron claws wrapped in tampons were whirring by Wang Yong's dance, and with a hula, Wang Yong threw it out of his hand, only to see the flying claws with the rope soaring into the sky, with a muffled click, and then the snow on the wall fell on the two of them; Although the movement was not loud, the night was silent and extremely harsh.

The two hurriedly lay down at the base of the wall and listened to the surrounding movements, and there was no unusual sound after a while, Wang Yong slowly pulled the rope down, and the grappling hook wrapped in cotton cloth dragged on the wall to make a slight muffled sound, and the rope was tightened, and it could no longer be pulled.

"It's done!" Wang Yong said in a low voice: "The humble post goes first." ”

Song Nan said in a low voice: "Be careful, there are probably spikes, thorns and other things on the wall, and there is no way." ”

Wang Yong nodded, spit and foamed at the palm of his hand, grabbed the rope and snorted, his hands pulled up alternately, his feet stepped on the wall, his body was at a ninety degree right angle to the wall, and he walked up step by step, Song Nan cheered and watched Wang Yong's figure disappear on the top of the wall, and a cat meow came after a while, Song Nan shook his spirit, held the rope and learned from Wang Yong's appearance and climbed up step by step, and when he reached the top, he was already sweating profusely, Wang Yong stretched out his thick palm at the edge and pulled Song Nan hard, The two managed to reach the top of the wall.

"Be careful, my lord, there are spikes under my feet, and I have cleared out these two feet in a radius of two feet, and there are spikes buried in other places."

Song Nan looked intently, there was a thick pile of snow on the wall more than two feet wide, and he couldn't see any spikes, but when he saw Wang Yong gently slashing on the top of the snow layer next to him with a dagger, he could suddenly see several spikes emerging from sharp horns, which were very dark and terrifying.

The two squatted on the wall and did not move, while listening to the movements around them, while looking down, although the sky was dark, but after all, it was the thirteenth day of the first month, the moon was close to the full moon, hiding behind the thick clouds There was also a faint light sprinkled, it can be seen that there is indeed a garden below, there are many big trees, it seems that the map is correct; There are no lights and voices below, a few dark houses are not far from the wall, but there is no light inside, even if someone lives there is also a sleep, many courtyards in the distant palace are brightly lit, if you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of words and the sound of silk and bamboo, presumably someone is still enjoying the nightlife, and has not gone to bed.

When they went down, it was much simpler, the two of them hugged the rope and slipped to the end, and after being down-to-earth, Song Nan said softly: "The inside is the real back garden, this small garden is the barrier between the back garden and the wall, the palace is the palace, there is no ambiguity at all, if someone finds it here, it can only be caught in the urn." There must be patrol guards around here, be careful. ”

Wang Yong also saw the pattern clearly, this back garden seems too narrow, but it extends all the way along the wall, but the width is too narrow, and there is a wall on the opposite side under the root of the outer wall, obviously this garden drawn by the outer wall is not actually a real garden, but something like the urn city outside the city gate, once it is found here, it will be trapped in this narrow place, if you can quickly return and escape, it is fine, otherwise you can only wait for death. This structure can not only effectively prevent thieves from entering the palace from the back garden, but also make the enemies who enter the place trapped here, and they can be captured, which can be described as ingenious.

The two of them curled up and didn't move, staring at the second wall opposite for a long time, just when they thought they were safe, a few black shadows suddenly shook a few times on the opposite wall, and then more than a dozen people climbed the wall, looked around silently and listened for a while, and then silently retracted their heads.

Song Nan let out a sweat in shock, and secretly shouted that he was glad that there were guards here, and these guys didn't even lift a lantern torch, but just secretly looked out in the shadows; It seems that he took advantage of the loophole by mistake, if these people had come up when they and Wang Yong climbed over the wall, they would have exploded a long time ago. Although the vision is blurred in the dark night, the moving figure is the clearest target, and if it were not for the dark clouds covering the moon today, I am afraid that the huddle under the wall will be unobstructed.

High walls, barriers, interior walls, guards. Only a few steps into the palace, there are so many means, it can be seen that the palace is strictly guarded, and the danger is even greater if you go further.

What especially made Song Nan feel uneasy was that Zhu Changshun's map did not draw the backyard and the isolation zone at all, which made Song Nan question the accuracy of this map.

"My lord, let's hurry up, the guards have just emerged, and they won't show their heads for a while, how about we avoid this place, go east for a while, and then climb over the inner wall?" Wang Yong said in a low voice.

Although Song Nan was full of doubts, he didn't have time to think about it, how could he go back and explore it again. Nodding slightly, the two of them walked slowly along the base of the wall, avoiding the inner wall where the guards were, looking for a suitable place to climb over the inner wall.
