Chapter 112: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas! (Part I)
Yifeng was like a cat, lying quietly on a roof.
At his side, Linda was like a cheetah, her body bowed, her eyes glowing with a dazzling light.
This is the third wall they pass through.
The palace was heavily guarded, and every quarter of a prayer hour, there was a line of soldiers with spears passing in front of Yifeng's eyes.
Thankfully, it was already night, the sky was dark, and the rain finally turned into a drizzle. On such a night when they couldn't see their fingers, it was difficult for the patrolling soldiers to notice any movement on the wall. Black is the best cover for Yifeng and the two.
What's more, the information provided by Shaquille is accurate. Not only did it show the weak points of the defense, but even the time period of the patrol was clearly explained.
Therefore, Yi Feng and the others lurked in from the weak place at the back of the palace, and after several sneaks of prayers, they could reach here.
Even so, Yifeng still felt very uncomfortable. The whole person was wet, and the clothes were clinging to the flesh. The roof is very slippery, and if you are not careful, it will slide down, which makes Yifeng very nervous.
This is already the depths of the royal palace. From Yifeng's point of view, you can clearly see that the opposite room is brightly lit, and there are countless figures reflected on the curtains by candlelight. Occasionally, a palace maid in a hurry, carrying a tray, was inspected by the guards at the door before being put into the room.
This is the destination of the two of them. His Majesty's bedchamber was also the command center of Prince Adam. The brightly lit place was His Majesty Edward's study, now requisitioned by Adam as his office. The reason is very simple, first, to take care of the seriously ill Majesty nearby, and second, to facilitate command.
Looking further into the distance, you can see rockets dragging their long tails, like meteors across the night sky, forming a long parabola, and then stabbing down viciously! This is a volley of rockets attacking the soldiers at the palace gate.
Occasionally, a roar can be heard, the fire blooms like fireworks, and a slight vibration of the ground can be felt here, which is a huge stone thrown by a stone thrower.
The shouts, the sounds of fighting, and the screams of despair were heard from afar, and it was evident that the battle was raging.
This is also one of the reasons why Yifeng and the two have not been noticed so far, and the huge movement is a good way to cover up the slight footsteps of the two.
"Keep your head down, be careful! The patrol is here again!"
Yifeng was looking around, and a soft cry came from beside him, and one pressed his head. The two were very close to each other, almost sticking together, and there was a faint fragrance of Yi's body coming from the end of Yifeng's mouth and nose, and they could even hear each other's heartbeats clearly.
Sure enough, about a small group of patrols walked majestically from below with torches, and the leader of the squad reminded everyone to be vigilant.
"Keep your dog's eyes wide open, prick up your ears!
"Ten, Nine, Eight......"
Yi Feng counted lightly, and the patrol team had a set time. They have figured out the pattern of patrols. Seeing the back of the last person turn around the corner of the wall and bury into the darkness, Yifeng's body began to arch, which was a precursor to the exertion.
"Wait!"
Linda tugged at Yifeng's sleeve and handed over a bottle of potion.
"What's that?"
Through the faint light of the fire, Yifeng turned over and over to look at the things in his hand, yellow, and a faint fragrance, as if it was a kind of fruit wine.
On such a cold night, it is really a joy to be able to drink a little wine.
"Bastard! This is not wine! This is an invisibility potion, it can manage half a prayer without being noticed! I will use it later!"
Linda's puffing appearance made Yifeng very excited.
"Let's go!"
Linda exclaimed, lifted the wind gently, tiptoed a little, like a roc spreading its wings, soaring in mid-air, and then gently landed on the opposite roof.
It is a minaret-like palace. The entire palace is about three stories high. The first floor is where Adam worked, and the third floor was His Majesty's bedchamber. It is built on the roof of the second floor, for example, the roof of the second floor that Yifeng stepped on. From this highly sloping roof, you can see the balcony on the third floor, as well as the windows that shine through the light.
Linda carefully put down the Yifeng, and the two of them quietly climbed to a dark place on the third floor along the backlit side. Yifeng leaned tightly on the roof, and Linda was like a praying mantis, gently hanging upside down under the eaves and looking inside.
I saw that on a large bed, His Majesty's head was pillowed high on the pillow, his eyes were deeply sunken, his eyes were closed, his face was red, and there were fine drops of sweat on his forehead. It seems that he still has a fever and has not woken up.
"What's the situation?"
As the minutes passed, Yifeng felt some cramps in his hands and feet.
"Shh~~"
Linda made a small motion. Yifeng heard the door creak open, and the sound of heavy footsteps came from inside the room, and a very familiar voice remembered.
"Is Father awake?"
This is Prince Adam.
Yifeng was shocked.
It seems that this Adam is not an ordinary person, the situation is so tense, he has not lost his bearings, knowing that as long as he guards Edward's bedchamber, he will keep everything.
But this is very bad news for Yifeng and the others.
With Adam present, how can Yifeng and the two do it?
Whether it is to wake up His Majesty or transfer His Majesty, it is not an easy task.
Yifeng couldn't help but feel a little anxious!
I could only look at the distant firelight, and secretly cheered for Prince Arthur in my heart.
You've been praying for hours, and not only have you not opened the gates, but you've not even been able to attract Adam to take command himself.
However, at this time, Linda suddenly a harrier rolled over and covered Yifeng's mouth, and the two hid in the darkness again.
"Be careful, someone's coming!"
Yes, it's coming!
I saw that in the courtyard in front of me, a pair of soldiers surrounded by a general broke in in a hurry.
"His Highness Adam is not in an emergency!"
It's Linda's hidden pawn - Shaquille has finally arrived.
It didn't take long for Yifeng to hear Shaquille's loud voice.
"Oh no, Your Highness Adam, there is news from the front, the west gate has been opened!
"Damn! It must have been that damn Yi Feng who did it! Only he has the ability!"
This was Adam's angry voice.
"Your Highness, the top priority now is to shrink the forces and guard the palace gate! As long as the palace gate is not broken, Your Majesty is in our hands, Arthur will not be able to turn the sky!"
"That's it! I'll go with you!"
......
Here's your chance!
Yifeng and Linda glanced at each other and found that they both had ecstasy in each other's eyes that could not be concealed.
Seeing everyone hugging Adam and leaving in a hurry, Yifeng just wanted to lift up, but was held down by Linda again.
"Wait, there's someone else coming!"
I saw that in the darkness, on the roof of the palace on the left, several heads suddenly came out.
