Chapter 166: One Night in the Palace (I)

Li He knew that these people must be the masters of the Great Interior who patrolled the city to hunt down the assassins. Suzaku Street is inhabited by ministers and nobles of the royal palace, and in order to protect their safety, the usual garrison patrols are already very tight, not to mention that there are still so many unknown assassins in the city.

Li He coughed dryly twice and looked up at the sky and said, "The weather is good tonight, everyone has worked hard, do you want to go to supper together?" ”

"Bold assassin, don't be caught yet!" The bearded man raised his eyebrows coldly and shouted loudly. When several masters next to him heard the word "assassin", they were also nervously on guard, concentrating on locking Li He with a gas machine, ready to make a move at any time.

Dozens of Yulin soldiers had also surrounded them, forming an encirclement around the masters, with their spears pointing inward.

Li He's face was hidden in the dark, and he didn't explain much, he looked in the direction of the right side suddenly, with a look of surprise, and said in a lost voice: "It's you?!" ”

Naturally, a few of the masters surrounding him immediately followed his gaze, but saw nothing. At the same time, Li He suddenly attacked and rushed in the other direction. A Ouchi master in that direction immediately stretched out his hand to stop him, but he knocked him away, and he took three or four steps back before he could stand.

After knocking into seven or eight Yulin Army soldiers, Li He ran directly to the outside of Suzaku Street, and his arrows were like flying.

Suzaku Street immediately became lively, more than a dozen Ouchi masters rushed over from the side when they heard the movement, and the soldiers of the Yulin Army patrolling the street also turned their guns one after another and rushed in the direction of Li He's escape.

At first, Li He fled to the roof, jumping left and right, and screaming in his mouth, lined with the moon disk that slowly emerged from the clouds, like a werewolf who had just come out of the cage. However, he later found that he ran to a high place like this, not only did not quickly shake off the pursuers behind him, but instead attracted the masters who patrolled in other places to rush here.

He quickly changed his jumping to galloping, and ran fiercely through the streets and alleys. In the air, those light masters could still cling to him, and when they reached the ground, their speed was immediately far inferior to him. And if those masters were staring in the air, he would easily disappear without a trace in the streets and alleys of the capital that intersected the lanes at night, making the masters sigh helplessly, and even his qi could not be locked.

In fact, as long as Li He reveals his identity, those masters will naturally be respectful to him and dare not ask questions. However, Li He suddenly had a whim, wanting to be a black man at night in the heavily guarded capital, avoiding the pursuit of those masters in the interior, and feeling the excitement of being chased.

Li He's running speed on the ground is staggering, most of the guards in the inner world are extremely skilled, but they are blocked by the tall buildings in the capital, and Li He's seven turns and turns are irregular, often dazed by his sudden brake turns, and he lost it again after a few steps. But today is different after all, the assassination of the emperor just happened during the day, and now the assassin is on the run, and the number of masters sent by the royal family and various families in Beijing is comparable to that of a cow's hair, and you can meet a few in a few steps, so no matter how many people Li He throws off, he will immediately be chased by more people.

Li He just slammed his head in the direction of the imperial city in the north of the capital, turning around the streets, and when he encountered a master blocking the road, he rushed without saying a word. Those masters naturally refused to let Li He pass, but his speed was too fast, and with this King Kong's incorruptible body, they couldn't stop it if they wanted to, and they were easily broken through.

After running for so long, Li He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the capital is really the capital, such a vigilance, as long as those assassins dare to show their heads and run around, once they are discovered, they will definitely be caught or killed.

After running for a while, Li He suddenly felt that there were two people behind him who were always following him from a short distance, sometimes as if they had thrown off, but they quickly caught up again. Although he didn't look back, although he didn't have internal strength, he knew by hearing that these two people had been close to him, and no matter how he turned around, he couldn't get rid of them.

Li He felt strange, the speed of these two people was not very fast, he was sure that they didn't rely on vision to track him, so how did they keep up?

With his sense of hearing, he felt that only those two people were chasing after him, and Li He suddenly stopped at a corner and rushed back violently.

Soon, the two appeared in front of him, and what caught his eye was two faces wearing bright red masks, and in the hands of the two of them, there were two ten-son blades that shimmered in the moonlight.

"Is that you?" Li He was stunned. These two people are the masters of the Li Mansion, and he only learned their names today - Meng Chong and Meng Jin.

When Meng Chong and Meng Jin heard his voice, they were also stunned, and said, "Second son? ”

Li He saw that his identity had been recognized, so he walked out of the shadows.

"Second son, how could it be you?"

Li He touched his nose awkwardly and said, "This ...... I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk. ”

Meng Chong and Meng Jin's eyes were a little weird, "Second son, just ...... That person was you just now? ”

Li He replied: "Don't tell people that you've seen me, understand?" ”

The two glanced at each other, and naturally knew that Li He affirmed their question, although they were puzzled, why did the second son refuse to report his identity and break in, but the second son didn't say it, and they didn't want to ask.

"Yes, the subordinates understand, the subordinates have never seen the second son tonight." Meng Chong and Meng Jin hurriedly hugged their fists.

"By the way, why do you keep chasing me?" Li He looked at the two of them strangely, "There are also those masters who are better than yours, why are they quickly thrown away by me, but you can always follow?" ”

Meng Chong said: "That's right, our two brothers have a secret technique that can determine the location of the Soul Incense within a certain range. After today's accident, we were covered with soul incense in the area of Suzaku Street. ”

"Soul incense?" Li He sniffed suspiciously, but he didn't smell any special smell, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why can't I smell it?" ”

Meng Chong replied, "This soul incense can only be smelled by the two of us brothers using secret techniques. ”

"Oh, that's right." Li He touched his nose and said to the two: "Don't follow me anymore." ”

The two responded in unison: "Yes." ”

There was a faint sound of footsteps behind him, Li He smiled slightly, nodded to the two, and disappeared around the corner of the dark street.

"Why did you say that the second prince refused to report his identity in the first place, and let so many of us chase him in the city?" Meng Jin looked in the direction where Li He disappeared and said in a low voice.

"I don't know, but if I want to come to the second son to do this, there must be a deep meaning, maybe it was explained by the Taishi." Meng Chong said.

Meng Jin said: "But...... Why do I think the second son seems to be deliberately teasing those big inner masters? ”

"Nonsense, the second son is the Marquis of Wu Wei, and he is a general, how can he have spare time to come out and tease them?"

"Well, that's what I said, it seems that the second son is going to do something secret." Meng Jin also nodded.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's go, lead the guys behind for the second son."

Meng Chong and Meng Jin burst out like two green lightning bolts, jumping and galloping between the architectural dances.

Li He walked unhurriedly on the street, since today's assassination of the emperor, the capital has been cleaned of the streets, the usual bustling streets of the capital, now except for the flying Ouchi masters and a team of Yulin soldiers with guns and armor, there is no pedestrian.

He walked down the street alone, and soon attracted the interrogation of several Ouchi masters.

"Stop!" The two Ouchi masters flew down from the roof next to them, blocking the front and back of Li He respectively.

"Where is the breeze blowing tonight!" Li He asked suddenly.

"The wind gathers but the north is at the door." The man in front was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied.

"Oh, it's my own people, it's hard work. I went over there to take a look, and there seemed to be movement there. Li He smiled and walked over and patted the man on the shoulder, and before he could react, he had already turned into the alley next to him.

The two Ouchi masters were stunned for a long time, and one of them said, "It's your own person?" ”

"I guess so." The other hesitated.

"But by the sound, I don't seem to know him."

"Or maybe it's someone from the Li Mansion and the Zhou Mansion."

"Well, it should be ......"

From beginning to end, Li He hid his face in the shadows and was not illuminated by the moonlight, so most of those masters didn't see him clearly.

Li He is too lazy to play this game of being chased anymore, if he continues to run like this, I am afraid that he will not be able to get rid of all those guys by tomorrow morning, how can he go to the imperial city and the palace city to play? So he simply jumped up between the rooftops in the open, and when he met the Ouchi master, he used the code to deal with it. Anyway, these masters are not very familiar with each other.

It didn't take long for him to be outside the Imperial City. However, the gates of the imperial city such as Xuanwu Gate and Xixiang Gate are tightly closed, and they are heavily guarded, and the imperial city Yulin army and the tiger-eyed masters can be seen patrolling back and forth on the city wall.

If he breaks in, Li He is absolutely sure to break in, even if he enters the palace and beats the emperor up, he believes that he can do it. But he didn't go to assassinate the emperor, but just to visit the imperial city and the palace city, if he made such a big move, how would it end?

So Li He had to sneak around the imperial city, hiding in the shadows, hoping to find a place that was not so tightly defended and turn into the city.

But after going around the imperial city for a long time, Li He didn't find a place to start, but Yulin Jun was not afraid, and he could easily avoid it by finding a time difference. But those owl-like and alert masters of the Great Interior, there is one every few dozen steps, they are the real terrible barrier, if you want to quietly climb into the imperial city in front of those guys without alarming them, it is almost impossible to rely on Li He, who has no light skills.

His grandmother's, Lao Tzu still doesn't believe that he can't enter this imperial city today. If you have the opportunity, you have to enter, and if you don't have the opportunity to create an opportunity, you have to enter! Li He secretly cursed those loyal guards in his heart, thinking about ways to enter the city.

"By the way, people have already done too much of this kind of thing in the palace!" Li He's mind lit up, and he remembered the plots of breaking into the enemy camp and entering the enemy's den in the martial arts novels he had read, what would he do when he encountered this kind of tightly guarded and seamless situation?

He found a small rock, far away outside the Imperial City, in a dark corner between several buildings, and threw it at one of the soldiers patrolling the Imperial City.

The stone burst through the air like a bullet, "Bang! "A bang will smash on the helmet of a Yulin soldier.

The Yulin soldier fainted on the spot, and the other soldiers turned to the dark corner outside the imperial city after a moment of surprise. Several figures immediately jumped down from the imperial city, and rushed towards the place where the stone had just been thrown.

Li He had already increased his speed to the extreme as he threw the stone, and ran to the other direction of the imperial city, where the attention of the two Ouchi masters guarding there had been diverted, and he could take the opportunity to turn into the city. However, the walls of the imperial city were too high, and there was no place to borrow strength from the side, so he couldn't jump over it with his current strength.

How do you get in? That's a problem.

Martial arts novels are actually very good practical teaching materials, and Li He immediately thought of the classic moves of the ancient heroes in Jin Yong's novels when they leaped over the high wall - the left foot stepped on the right instep, and the right foot stepped on the left instep. There is nowhere to borrow strength, so he borrows his own strength, Jin Yong's boss is really a genius! ～

So, seeing the opportunity, Li He rushed to the imperial city, jumped up, stepped on the right instep with his left foot, and stepped on the left instep with his right foot.

But it backfired, Li He was not able to use the legendary "Tiyun Zong" to fly to the imperial city, but almost had leg cramps, his legs were twisted, and the whole person stopped in the air for a moment, planted directly down, and fell hard outside the city.

"Lao Jin deceived me again,......" Li He wailed in his heart, quickly got up from the ground, and hid against the city wall. Fortunately, the attention of the Yulin Army and the Ouchi masters was there, and no one saw that one person was performing air cramps outside the Imperial City just now.

Just as he caught a glimpse of the ring on his hand that shone black in the moonlight, Li He's heart moved again.

"Invincible" turned into a long black rope that was thrown onto the head of the city and wrapped around the battlements of the city wall.

With the help of the black rope, Li He kicked twice on the city wall, and then jumped from one side of the imperial city wall to the other like a flea, and stood firmly in the imperial city.

Several soldiers saw this scene by accident, and they all looked incredulous. In their eyes, Li He jumped up directly from outside the city wall, and fell into the city wall in the blink of an eye. Is there such a powerful light skill in the world? Even those masters of the Great Interior, they can float down with light skills when they go down to the city, but they have to go through the city gate when they go up.

But before they could shout, the other side of the wall was already bustling, "There are assassins!" The shouts came and went, and the masters on the city wall and the Yulin army rushed in that direction.

As soon as Li He landed in the imperial city, he heard a noise on the city wall, and the shout of "there is an assassin", and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he wouldn't be so unlucky, he was discovered as soon as he entered the imperial city?! Thinking so in his heart, he didn't stop under his feet, retracted his changes, and immediately jumped into the imperial city.

Halfway through the run, he felt a little strange, as if the noise of the chase was getting farther and farther away, and when he looked back, the place where the torches were concentrated on the wall was far away from when he had just climbed into the wall, and not even in the direction where he threw the stones.

Could it be that there are also friends who are also visiting the imperial city tonight? Uh, it can't be the real Assassins, is it? His mother's courage is really big enough, the assassination only happened in the morning, and now when the whole city is under martial law, they dare to come to the imperial city, do they think that the masters of Ouchi are all sick cats? Li He thought in his heart, the people had already passed the three gates in the imperial city, flashed several waves of patrolling imperial city Yulin army, carefully hiding in the dark and groping into the depths of the inner city.

Perhaps it was because they thought that the search outside the capital was tight enough, or perhaps it was because there were so many masters and Yulin troops on the walls of the imperial city that there was no way for the assassins to enter. There weren't many masters in the Imperial City, and even the patrolling Yulin Army wasn't as good as Suzaku Street. Therefore, Li He could easily shuttle between various palaces without being discovered by anyone along the way.

Such an experience was exciting and fun for Li He, and he couldn't help but regret it a little in his heart, why didn't he think of visiting the imperial city at night to play after coming to the capital for so long? If Xiangxiang had been by her side to help before the assassination, maybe she would have been able to bring Qianqian and Huazi to the palace to have fun.

Who said that only the emperor and his concubines could visit the Imperial Garden?

When I arrived not far from the Weiwu Hall that I had been to during the day, I saw that there were lanterns faintly lit in the hall, and the door was not closed. However, there are many Yulin Army guards standing in front of the door, and there are also three steps, one post, two steps and one sentry outside the door. The front of the main hall was empty again, and down the long stone stairs was a small square, and there was nowhere to hide, and there was no way to sneak in from the front.

Li He thought for a while and decided to approach from the side, so he went around to the side and rear of the Mighty Palace, where there were relatively few Yulin troops.

After approaching quietly, Li He secretly knocked out the two Yulin Army guards guarding next to him, and after letting their bodies stand on the corridor, Li He stepped on the corridor fiercely, and the whole person flew to the top of the mighty hall. When he stepped on the top of the temple, there was a clicking sound, which frightened him and quickly bowed down. Fortunately, the tiled roof of the mighty hall is strong enough.

After Li He lay in wait for a while, he felt that the Yulin Army guards below didn't pay attention, so he slowly moved on the top of the hall with his waist bent. Estimating the distance, Li He turned into a small dagger in his hand and dug up the yellow glazed tiles on the top of the hall.

Digging two pieces, Li He observed the situation in the hall, and saw that two eunuchs were cleaning, so he stopped his movements, and only continued to dig after the two left.

This work is really not simple, not only to master the strength so as not to collapse the roof of the palace at once, but also to be careful not to be discovered by the guards of the Yulin Army, but also to put the dug down yellow glazed tiles, it is really a waste of time, but Li He is a little happy to do it, and it feels very exciting.

After digging a hole at the top of the hall that could accommodate one person to enter, Li He was afraid that the sound of his jumping down would be too loud to attract the Yulin Army, so he turned the hundred changes into a long black pole, inserted it into the Mighty Palace, and then slid down the pole himself, silently.

Standing in the wide hall of might, except for the two lanterns next to the dragon chair, the rest of the place was dim, and it looked a little gloomy. Li He walked straight up the jade steps covered with red carpet in front of him, came to the dragon chair with all-gold sculptures, looked, touched, turned around, adjusted the posture of his buttocks, and sat down slowly.

Sitting on the dragon chair and looking at the mighty hall, imagining the appearance of the ministers worshipping, Li He's heart couldn't help but surge with a sense of pride, waved his big hand, and said with his mouth: "Zhongqing is flat!" ～”

He pointed to the place where the prince stood in the morning, and shouted silently with his mouth: "Come on, push this guy out of the noon gate and behead him!" ”

Then he said to the place where King Tengling stood in the morning: "Come on, push this guy out and cut it down!" ～”

"Huh? That guy, do you have an opinion? Yes? Yes, come on, pull it out and cut it together~"

"Who still has an opinion to go to the noon gate and line up by themselves~"

"Well, who's that...... Tobe Shangshu, you go and catch a few sharks for me and bring them back, you want to live! Be big! What? Not in your hands? It's not you who cares? If you can't catch me, I'll throw you into the sea and feed the sharks! Don't know what kind of fish a shark is? How did you become a scholar? I think it's a pig! Come on...... Pull him down and smoke fifty boards first! ”

"Officials Shangshu, you have replaced these eunuchs Ming'er! If you are a beauty, if one is not beautiful enough, I will castrate you! What? Is this the Ouchi general manager? He also changed it at the same time, and the manager also wanted a woman, a peerless beauty, understand? ”

"Ministry of Works, you make me a big bed, and make a cushion of all velvet! Thirty people to sleep! Be warm in winter and cool in summer! Don't have that expression, if you can't do it, hang yourself with your cecum! ”

"The Ministry of Rites, what rules have been changed, how to change them? Well, I think about it...... Anyway, what I'm talking about is the rules, and what I do is etiquette, understand? ”

Li He squinted his eyes and sat on the dragon chair fantasizing about his situation as an emperor, and had to admit that if he became an emperor, he would definitely be a faint monarch, and it was very likely to set a record of absurdity and mediocrity. As an emperor, while being majestic, he also bears the responsibility of the world.

Li He stood up from the dragon chair and looked back at the dragon chair in front of him that shone with golden light in the dim light.

The emperor is still not suitable for himself to do, and it is almost the same for grandfather, brother or father to do it. Yourself, it's better to be a free, ridiculous and happy gentleman.

Li He turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered that he had come to sit on this dragon chair once, and he couldn't leave something behind. Lettering? It's too old-fashioned, and it's not good to destroy this dragon chair. If this is thousands of years later, it is an important cultural relic, how can you do anything to destroy cultural relics? He didn't expect that he had just dug a hole in the big "cultural relics" of the Mighty Palace.

Li He's eyes suddenly lit up, he looked back at the outside of the Mighty Palace, and then turned around and looked at the dragon chair with a silent smile, and actually took off his pants at once, took out his treasure, and on the dragon chair.

The guards of the Imperial City Yulin Army outside the Mighty Hall probably would never have thought that in the Mighty Hall behind them, a person was urinating on the dragon chair.

As soon as the urine was exhausted, the entire cushion of the dragon chair was wet, and there was a faint vapor of urine.

Li He lifted his pants contentedly, held back a smile and came to the place opposite the small pit at the top of the hall, turned the variety into a long black pole, and continued to climb back to the top of the hall along it.

After sneaking down from the Mighty Palace, Li He visited a few more halls, and he had almost walked around the imperial city, and the next target was the emperor's nest - Miyagi.

The emperor's court maids, concubines, princesses and a number of beautiful garden palaces were all there, and that was where the emperor enjoyed and lived.
