Chapter 31: Exploring the Palace at Night
The three brothers and sisters changed into night clothes and decided to go around the palace to check for clues.
Not long after the old man went down the mountain, there was a major event such as the change of the throne in the capital, and the three of them felt that this matter was very likely to be related to the old man.
The place of the change of throne is in the palace, so it is very likely that some clues can be found in the palace. Or you can find the old man inside, maybe.
With this in mind, the three of them came out of the Chen Mansion and rushed to the palace.
They had already seen the route during the day, and now they were familiar with the road when they went to their destination at night. It's just that during the day, they can only walk slowly like ordinary people, but now they have all improved their body skills to the extreme.
There were many sergeants patrolling the streets with torches, but these sergeants couldn't detect the ghostly figures of the Mo brothers and sisters. Sometimes, even if they pass directly in front of the sergeants, the most they can do is rub their eyes, look around, and think they are dazzled.
The three of them hurried all the way and soon came to the vicinity of the east gate of the palace.
The imperial palace of Ruiguo is very large, with more than 1,000 palaces, more than 9,000 houses, surrounded by tall city walls and wide moats, and the scale is larger than ordinary towns, and it is a city within a city in the capital.
The army guarding the palace is the Yulinwei of Rui, which is an even more elite army than the central army of Rui, with a total of 120,000 people, and is directly commanded by the emperor of Rui. At this moment, these feather guards are all over the walls, palaces, pavilions and pavilions of the imperial palace. They took turns patrolling and taking turns on duty, with a large number of open and secret guards, guarding the entire palace tightly.
The three brothers and sisters of the Mo family flew over the moat, volleyed over the city wall, and quietly infiltrated the interior of the palace. By the melting moonlight, they divided into three directions, looking for them in the east, west, and center.
There are a lot of Yulin guards patrolling along the way, and there are even more sentry posts arranged in the shadows, but these defensive forces are completely useless in front of the Mo family brothers and sisters.
Because the Mo family's brothers and sisters' sensory body methods are not at the same level as those of the martial arts people in the mortal world, they can detect where the Yulin Guard is arranged from a long distance, and they can avoid it very lightly, and they can avoid it without a trace.
The direction chosen by Mo Cong is the middle lane. Many of the palaces in the middle are tall and majestic, symbolizing the majesty of the royal family. When ordinary people come here, looking at the huge square and the long undulating white marble steps, the pressure in their hearts will be great. However, Mo Cong has no concept of the word royal at all, in his eyes, the royal family is also a common person under his protection, but the identity is relatively special, so it is not a big deal. So when he walked between these palaces, he didn't feel any pressure at all.
Mo Cong soon passed through the three palaces, and he carefully inspected the blue bricks, stones, red walls, and yellow tiles along the way, but found nothing. After the three palaces, countless palaces overlapped, and it was impossible to count how many there were, and they all looked very imposing. Mo Cong kept walking, looking, and seeing, using his true qi to emit a kind of aura fluctuation that ordinary people couldn't detect, but he didn't find anything and didn't receive any feedback. Moreover, these palaces seem to be places for regular office work or other purposes, and at the moment in the dead of night, there are no people in the black holes.
I don't know how long I walked, and I don't know where I went, but suddenly a palace with lights flashed in front of me.
Alas, there seems to be someone here.
Mo Cong's spirits perked.
He silently touched the side of the palace and listened to the situation in the palace with an ear beyond ordinary people.
Judging from the sound of breathing, there were two people in the palace, and one of them was breathing rougher, obviously with shallow skills. The breathing sound of the other one was subtle and inaudible, and he seemed to be a legendary martial arts master.
"Your Majesty, the situation of the Third Battalion of the Left Guard is basically stable. However, according to the information fed back, they actually drank collectively at night, from Commander Chen to ordinary sergeants, they all drank a lot of alcohol. According to the brothers who patrolled the capital, when Commander Chen rode back to his mansion, he could vaguely smell a faint smell of imperial wine. The man with rough breathing and shallow skills said.
"It's normal for the soldiers to come back triumphantly and drink a few glasses of wine, and there is no need to make a fuss. The man with long breathing said. "It's an extraordinary time, Longguo, Ningguo, Cangnanguo, all of them want to pounce on it and take a bite. The Third Battalion of the Left Guard is an important team of the New Central Army, and it is also the main force of the Later Campaign. Soldiers, if they don't have a bit of arrogance and a surname, what kind of soldier is they called? Okay, in the future, don't keep your eyes on Zuo Wei's side, keep an eye on the city, don't let Ding Long's remnants take advantage of our weakness to fish in troubled waters and disrupt the normal life of the people, this is the most important thing. ”
"Well, the Admiral understands. In fact, the last general was also afraid that there would be Ding Long's remnants in the left guard, and a mouse feces would spoil a pot of soup, so he kept an eye on it closely. ”
"Well, your worries are justified, but pay attention to the ways and means. The vast majority of the people of the Left Guard, I can still trust. ”
......
The two talked on and off.
After listening to it for a while, Mo Cong could be regarded as figuring out the meaning. These two people, one of them seems to be the emperor of Rui, and the other is reporting to the emperor. Ding Long, who was mentioned many times in their conversation, didn't know who he was, but judging from the tone of their voices, they seemed to be very jealous of this person.
Mo Cong listened for a while, and what the two of them said was all about the difficulties of domestic and foreign relations in Sweden, which was similar to what Chen Ruoping introduced. And from the tone of the emperor's speech, it seems that the central army of the Rui Kingdom has undergone some major changes not long ago, and now it is in urgent need of fresh blood, and the people who are replenished must be loyal and reliable.
Mo Cong couldn't hear a clue after listening for a while, especially if he didn't hear any clues about the old man, so he planned to leave and continue to look elsewhere. He had just turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly heard the emperor say: "The identity and origin of the three people around Ruoping must be investigated, but you must not startle the snake." ”
Hearing this, Mo Cong was shocked.
The three people around Chen Ruoping.
Could it be that they are talking about the three of them?
It's only been a day since they arrived in the capital, so quickly aroused the emperor's vigilance?
Thinking of this, Mo Cong withdrew one foot and continued to listen to what the two of them would say next.
At this moment, I heard a whistle in the distance.
"Catch the assassin!"
"Quick, catch him. ”
A lot of people shouted one after another.
