Northwest corner of the Royal Palace,

In a remote courtyard.

Wan Yanyue stretched, grabbed a piece of snack from the wooden table, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it gently.

I have to say that Da Zhou's stuff is indeed very tempting. Speaking of this snack, even the royal court of Houjin is extremely rare.

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it is not excessively sweet, but also has a special sweet taste. What's even more commendable is that these snacks are not greasy to eat.

In contrast, the dim sum on the prairie is extremely simple. Most of them are dairy products, and if you eat them once in a while, they taste good, but if you eat them regularly, they will feel the same and not interesting.

"I don't know if my father's side knows the situation in Youzhou now."

"I heard from that eunuch that Da Zhou had sent a messenger to contact his father and emperor. Count the days, and it should still be on the way. ”

"It's so boring, my father finally came out once, but he can only stay in this palace, although this snack tastes good, but if you eat it every day, it will be a little tired."

"Besides...... It's really boring that no one talks. ”

Wan Yanyue rubbed her long black and beautiful hair, and leaned on the soft couch extremely reluctantly. I have to say that the soft collapse of Da Zhou is also good.

It is extremely smooth and soft to lie down, and the key is that there is no smell of sheep.

When the palace returns to Houjin, I will definitely buy more of this comfortable silk quilt. By the way, I also have to bring a few more people who can make snacks.

As she thought so, she felt her eyelids sink more and more. But at that moment, a crisp sound caught her attention.

I only heard the sound of people moving around on the roof. Although it can be clearly heard that the other party has paid great attention to the sound of his footsteps, in the silence of the night, it can still be heard very clearly.

What's going on? There were people walking on the roof of the house on a big night. Are the guards in the Great Zhou Palace all eating dry rice? Even this kind of person can blend in. m.

Wan Yanyue thought so, but subconsciously held the dagger under the pillow.

This was a gift from her father when she was seven years old. This dagger sharpens iron like clay, and it is a rare good thing.

After holding his dagger, the expression on Wan Yanyue's face couldn't help but relax slightly. She has even thought about it, as long as the other party dares to rush in, she will be like a hungry wolf on the grassland, desperate with the other party!

She tried her best to suppress her breathing, and at this moment, her heart was extremely tense!

With a "bang", the man seemed to jump off the roof.

Immediately afterward, the pace seemed to be moving away. The sound is getting lower and lower, but the pace is extremely fast.

It was obvious that the other side was running. However, it seems that the other party's goal is not himself.

After thinking about these things clearly, Wan Yanyue's whole person finally relaxed.

A place like the Imperial Palace is very similar to the royal court of Houjin. There are a lot of very complex interests involved. So it's not surprising that even if someone visits the palace at night.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with me.

Wan Yanyue thought so, and the jade hand holding the dagger was slightly relaxed, but at this moment, there was a clear sound of footsteps on the roof.

Wait a minute, is the thief back?

Wan Yanyue's expression tightened, and after she greeted this person's ancestor for 18 generations fiercely in her heart, she clenched the dagger again.

But it didn't take long for her to realize that something was wrong, because the footsteps above her head were noticeably heavier than Fang Cai's.

In other words, the person on the roof at the moment did not deliberately hide his whereabouts.

In other words, he is most likely a guard in the palace!

Thinking of this, Wan Yanyue breathed a sigh of relief again.

This palace is worthy of being the most intelligent princess in the Houjin royal court. If it had been someone else, I am afraid that I would have been so scared that I couldn't sleep at this moment.

What she didn't expect was that in the next room next door to her, there was also a girl at this moment, with a vigilant face.

This girl's appearance looks particularly miserable. Whether it is the patches on her clothes or the appearance of her gray face, it is enough to prove that this girl is not an ordinary person.

Her dress is not even as good as that of the palace maids!

However, although her clothes are very shabby and have a lot of patches on them, they still look quite clean.

Her figure is very thin and small, and she looks the same size as a palace maid who has just entered the palace. On the thin face, a pair of big black eyes are looking at the position of the door vigilantly at the moment.

"God forbid, don't let him into my room. I really don't want anyone to get hurt because of me......"

"Be good, obedient, don't come in! Otherwise, you're going to end badly! ”

She followed the monk's example, with her hands folded and looked very religious.

But that jerky appearance is extremely perfunctory.

At this moment, another hurried footstep sounded in her ears.

Hearing this, the girl was visibly relieved.

"It's okay, it's okay, God heard my prayers. Somebody is coming, you can't come in, can you? ”

The corners of the girl's mouth rose slightly, she was already sure that the other party would never dare to enter her room.

And if he doesn't come in, his life won't be in danger.

But she didn't realize that at this moment, another slender reed pipe was quietly reaching into her room along the window......

……

"Damn, this villain is so fast! That's careless. ”

Yang Dong rubbed his chest, only to feel that his legs were faintly weak.

It's not that he's been ploughing too much land lately, which has caused his waist to be a little weak. It's because on the way to catch up just now, he used a lot of qi and blood power to increase his speed.

In other words, if he hadn't used these qi and blood powers, his speed would not have been able to keep up with the other party at all.

Thinking of this, Yang Dong's heart couldn't help but sink.

If you only analyze it from this perspective, the strength of the other party should be far above your own. In this case, what is the difference between coming here alone and sending him to death?

Luckily, he had the big baby with him.

Yang Dong rubbed the detonator on his chest, and his heart that was originally hanging was slightly lowered.

With this thing around, he feels a lot more at ease. It's just that you can't use it, or try not to use it. After all, if you come to the palace in the middle of the night, the consequences are still extremely serious.

Wait, he seems to have stopped!

Yang Dong's eyes lit up, and he immediately lowered his body and slowed down. Quietly followed.

However, what he didn't expect was this.

Just as he followed, the man in black actually jumped up and jumped into the dry well in the courtyard.

Looking at this familiar courtyard, Yang Dong sighed in his heart.

Some people died, but not completely......
