Chapter 224: Infiltrating the Palace
There is Xiaobai left at home, if there is an unknown werewolf soldier who dares to provoke the Hua family, there is definitely no return.
Out of the door, the streets were blazing with fire, and there were werewolf soldiers everywhere, who came from all directions, converging into a stream of people, and there was only one destination, and that was the palace.
Mo Lin hid in the corner, grabbed a lone werewolf soldier, and knocked him unconscious and dragged him into the dark alley with a punch.
Taking off the soldier's armor and changing it on, Mo Lin shrank up, quietly blended into the torrent of werewolves, and followed them to the palace.
The werewolves sang a tragic battle song loudly, their voices slurred, and Mo Lin couldn't carefully distinguish each character. However, the melody was catchy, and the werewolves lowered their voices, and all of them spoke, deep and deep, very good.
Mo Lin couldn't help humming along, this battle song does have a kind of power that makes people's blood boil, and it makes people high-spirited.
The torrent came all the way to the square outside the palace, and at this moment the square had become a sea of torches, and countless dotted torches converged into a sea of fire like day, illuminating the night sky.
Between the torches, countless battle flags could be seen fluttering, and the guards who had been guarding the palace gates had already retreated into the city, laying swords, guns, halberds and artillery on the city walls, as if facing a great enemy.
The werewolves at the front were already close to the black gate of the palace, and they shouted loudly and rushed towards the palace gate.
"Stop!" Suddenly there was a fire on the city wall, and a general in military uniform appeared and shouted.
His voice was strong and powerful, although there were thousands of werewolf soldiers who crowded the water outside the palace, and the noise was very noisy, but as soon as his voice came out, he suppressed all these noises, and every word was very clear.
Mo Lin knew that this person's skills were good, he was mixed among the werewolves, and when he raised his eyes, he saw hundreds of human soldiers appearing on the battlements on both sides of the general's side, all of them with bows and arrows in their hands, it seemed that if the werewolf soldiers moved forward, they would release their arrows.
The werewolf soldiers all stopped and looked up.
The general on the city wall was a human, surrounded by human soldiers, and their eyes met with the werewolves, and the deep-seated hatred between the races made them all look disdainful and resentful.
The werewolves hate the human bureaucrats represented by Prime Minister Ye Wuxi, and the humans hate the werewolves for looting many human families after the mutiny, and there may be their relatives and friends.
The atmosphere slowly solidified in the hatred between the two sides, and seemed to turn into a powder keg, as long as there was the slightest spark, an earth-shattering explosion would occur.
"What do you want to do, do you want to rebel?" The human general spoke, his face shining by the torches, looking very young and heroic.
There was a commotion among the werewolf soldiers, and soon out came a few officers, who were the representatives elected by the werewolves.
When the officers came to the palace gate, one of them raised his head and said in a loud voice: "General Su Bo, we are here to petition the Prime Minister." ”
"Petition?" The young human general known as Su Po frowned, "What wishes?" ”
The werewolf officer said, "We have three things to petition the prime minister. First, he requested the prime minister to reissue the bounty withheld by the previous expeditions; second, to increase military salaries; Third, military salaries will be paid on time in the future. ”
"Is that all?" Su Bo said, "If it's just these things, just report them level by level, why gather people to make trouble?" ”
The werewolf officer said unruly: "We have reported it countless times, but the prime minister has ignored it at all. Today there was another incident where humans killed dozens of wolf cavalry, and we hope that the prime minister can give an explanation. ”
Su Bo sneered: "The prime minister has a lot of opportunities, how can he have time to ask about this." ”
The werewolf officer did not show weakness: "In that case, we will not leave here." ”
The werewolf soldiers erupted in a deafening roar in support. However, after all, there were hundreds of bows on the city wall that were aiming, and they didn't dare to storm the city gate, but they were just bargaining with Su Po, and they must be the prime minister without a trace.
Mo Lin took advantage of the chaos, got out of the crowd, and quickly disappeared into the night.
Most of the werewolf soldiers gathered at the main gate of the palace, and the human guards also crowded to the walls of the main gate to block it, and the other three gates of the huge palace were silent in the night, which seemed very lonely compared to the noisy main gate.
There were also guards on the walls, but they were obviously distracted, and after a few steps, they were about to glance at the main entrance, which looked like daylight.
Mo Lin quietly came to the city wall and hid in the shadows.
Waiting for the guards to walk by, Mo Lin's palm was attached to the wall, and the spiritual energy slowly accumulated, absorbing the city wall, and his body was tightly attached to the city wall like a big gecko, slowly climbing up.
After three or two clicks, Mo Lin came to the battlement, and saw that the guards were in the distance, Mo Lin turned over, like a puff of green smoke, slipped into the depths of the city wall, and then jumped over, crossed the city wall, and came to the palace.
The square city wall protects the zigzag palace of three more huge palaces in the center.
The palace at the top of the zigzag is pitch black, without any light, while the other two palaces are guarded on the side, *** bright, and the figures are shaking.
Between the two palaces is a lush garden rockery, in which hundreds of guards are scattered, armed with weapons, in a tense manner.
Mo Lin felt strange, he quietly approached the past, flashed into a cave of a rockery, and looked at the palace, only to find that there were soldiers in full armor in both palaces, the palace on the left was full of werewolves, and the palace on the right was human, and it seemed that a fierce battle would break out at any time.
Mo Lin groaned slightly, probably guessed. The wolf cavalry outside kept saying that they wanted to see Prime Minister Ye Wuxian, and they were the subordinates of the great general Villa, if Ye Wuxian did not suspect that Villa was in the way, it would be strange.
As for these two palaces, they were obviously inhabited by Ye Wuxian and Villa, and their guards were fighting each other at the moment, and the atmosphere was not much more tense than outside the palace walls.
The noise outside the palace came and went, and those werewolf soldiers did not dare to rashly storm the palace gate, and at first they were still making loud noises, hoping to attract Ye Wuxian to meet them, but they slowly became impatient, and foul language came out one after another, and the shouts and curses gathered together, which were deaf and audible in the palace.
Mo Lin walked through the garden to the front of the two royal palaces, crouched behind a bush, only a few dozen paces away from the guards, and with his eyes and ears, everything was under surveillance.
These guards are all on standby, with swords and guns in hand, ready to fight at any time. But they seemed to be waiting for something, and their eyes wandered a little, and from time to time they looked into the palace on the right.
Mo Lin heard a high-pitched voice coming from there, as if someone was arguing. He made a quick observation, detoured from the garden, went around the back of the guards, lit up the light of the wind, and swept through the night like a ghost, and rushed into the dark shadows under the palace.
Although there were many knives and guns outside the palace, there was no one inside. Mo Lin was still hiding his figure, intending to scout quietly, but after taking a few steps, he found that there was no one in the palace except for the sound of quarrels in the distance.
Mo Lin walked to the bright place, observed for a while, and made sure that there was no one, so he swaggered towards the source of the quarrel.
He guessed in his heart that the two people who were arguing must have an unusual status, and the content of the dispute was probably very secret, otherwise it would be impossible to drive out the entire palace.
The conversation was carried out in a side hall of the palace, Mo Lin came to the door, and through the thick rosewood door, he could clearly hear the roar coming from inside, which showed that this person's emotions were already very excited.
"Ye Wuji, you make it clear, if there is no Lao Tzu, can you have today!"
Mo Lin thought to himself: Who is this person, who dares to be so rude to Prime Minister Ye Wuxian, could it be Villa.
The ensuing conversation confirmed Mo Lin's thoughts, and another slightly calm voice sounded.
"Villa, don't get excited. I'm just saying that these people are besieging the palace, and there must be someone behind them, so why are you so angry? ”
"Nonsense, don't you doubt Lao Tzu when you say that?" Villa yelled, "You have to remember that Lao Tzu and you are in the same boat, and if I drown, you don't have to think about it." ”
"Okay, okay, don't be impatient. Let's think about how to disperse the rebels. They're your men, and you go and press. Ye Wuxian said, it seemed that he was trying to resolve the riot outside the palace.
"What do you want me to say, you can't help but kill their chief Bielsa, and now I have to clean up all this mess? If they had known, they would have rebelled. Villa said angrily.
"Bielsa is not strict in governing the army, and his subordinates mutinied, of course he must be severely punished. But I did deal with this matter in a hurry......" Ye Wuxian's tone was very calm, but Mo Lin could hear that he was a little afraid.
Thousands of wolf cavalry outside are ready to riot at any time, and if they know that the commander has been killed, I am afraid that there will be an uproar immediately, and the situation will be uncontrollable at that time.
Mo Lin roughly understood the situation, and had an expectation in his heart: if things really got to the point of being unavoidable, would the Black Dragon King show up?
There was just one thing that made Mo Lin feel a little uneasy, he had come to the center of the palace, but he still couldn't detect the existence of any dragons.
If the Black Dragon King was in this palace, then with Mo Lin's strength, it would be impossible not to discover his existence. Is he hiding under some barrier, or is he not in the palace?
Mo Lin was guessing that Ye Wuxian and Villa in the side hall had already made a plan.
"Lao Tzu will help you this time, and next time there is such a mess, you can solve it yourself." Villa huffed.
"Don't forget your words, we're in the same boat, and if I drown, you won't have a good time." Ye Wuxian said slowly, "The Dragon King is gone, you and I must work together to maintain today's status." ”
There was a cold snort from Villa in the side hall, and Mo Lin's heart moved: The Dragon King is gone, what does this mean?
