When Xiao Yao heard this, he already understood Kublai Khan's intentions. It turned out that Kublai Khan had been secretly visiting all the way, so he knew a lot about the military deployment of the Great Song Dynasty along the way, and after arriving at Pingjiang Mansion, he naturally began to study carefully and think about the way to crack it if he brought troops to attack in the future. In the process of thinking about it, he gradually realized that the military deployment of the Great Song Dynasty was not as weak as he had previously understood.

Although when the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia joined forces to destroy the Jin, the two sides originally agreed that the Southern Song Dynasty would be responsible for attacking Yanjing, but the Great Song Dynasty was defeated repeatedly, and finally waited for the Mongols to break through the other four capitals of the Jin Dynasty, and then took action on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty to settle the war. In this way, it seems that the combat strength of the Song Dynasty is very unbearable, but at this time, from what he learned along the way, the Song Dynasty is well-equipped, the grain and grass are sufficient, and the morale has not been exhausted at all. Kublai Khan was a modest man, and he was even more cautious and cautious in the use of troops, never carelessly underestimating the enemy. It was precisely because of this that Kublai Khan thought that there was no need to investigate in detail, and if he could attack it in the future, then the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, such as Pingjiang Mansion and Lin'an City, would be re-included in the scope of his plan. Otherwise, if there is any difference in the future, the loss will be directly your own strength. Therefore, Kublai Khan suddenly thought of going directly to the palace to explore the reality. However, such a shocking idea also corresponds to the wise saying that "the master of art is bold" that has been passed down since ancient times.

While the two were talking, Ubuen had already taken Xiao Yao to Kublai Khan's residence. Seeing Xiao Yao, Kublai Khan, who was originally frowning, smiled, and immediately greeted him, took Xiao Yao's arm affectionately, and said: "Brother, where have you been these days, I really want to annoy my brother." Come, sit down and rest for a while, and then my brother has something to tell you. As he spoke, he personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Yao.

Seeing that Kublai Khan actually saluted himself so much, Xiao Yao was greatly moved, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "Brother is playful, I almost missed my brother's big event, please punish my brother!"

Kublai Khan smiled slightly, helped Xiao Yao up, and said: "You know everything? That's okay, this matter was originally necessary for you, but it was in a hurry and I didn't discuss it with you, so please don't be weird." ”

As the saying goes, a man dies for a confidant, and a woman is for a person who pleases herself. Xiao Yaotong guò this period of contact, known that Kublai Khan is indeed very modest and courteous, and generous, in contrast, he is more like a humble gentleman taught by Confucianism, rather than a rough man who can only bend the bow and shoot the eagle on the grassland, so he has long been very admired in his heart, knowing that he created the "Yuan" dynasty in Chinese history is not accidental, at this time I saw Kublai Khan so concerned about himself, not only personally poured water and condolences, but was moved in his heart, and immediately said: "What did the eldest brother say? The grace of knowing and the affection of the elder brother, which one is not worthy of the younger brother being born and dying for you? Between our brothers, there is no need to say so many foreign words. Big brother, let's talk about your plans for the evening. Although Xiao Yao's words are numb, they can actually be regarded as his true feelings, after all, for Kublai Khan, although he does have some factors in it, but people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless? He is not really heartless, good and bad.

Kublai Khan said: "Since my brother said so, we can achieve great things." Brother, let's visit the palace at night tonight, in order to avoid too many people, we won't bring more people at night, only you and Laxin, Nisgebamu and Uliehai will accompany you, a total of five of us, let's go to visit the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty together. ”

The three people mentioned by Kublai Khan are the "Three Heroes of the Steppe", all of whom are strong in martial arts, and they are specifically responsible for protecting Kublai Khan this time. Although Xiao Yao had never entered the palace, and he had never heard anyone talk about what the palace was like, he thought that Hong Qigong had quietly slipped into the palace for the sake of the delicacy of the imperial dining room, and secretly ate the delicacies and imperial meals specially provided to the emperor every day. Hong Qigong's martial arts are very strong, the best in the world, we are naturally inferior to it, but if I only talk about hiding the figure, when the time comes, I will take Kublai Khan with Lingbo micro-steps combined with windward breeze willow steps, and I don't think it will be seen by anyone, and although the martial arts of the three heroes of the grassland are inferior to me, these things should not be difficult to do, and they will not be seen by the guards guarding the palace. As soon as he thought of this, he immediately nodded and said, "Well, then let's act tonight!"

There was nothing to say during the day, and after everyone packed up, they quietly left Wang Shouqing's prefect's mansion and galloped to Lin'an on a fast horse, while Yeubuen stayed in Pingjiang Mansion to cover for a few people. Although there is some distance between the two places, the horses are fast and fast, so they are already there at dusk. In order to hide people's eyes, the five of them changed their clothes and changed their appearance, needless to say, Xiao Yao was originally a Han Chinese, unlike a Mongolian like Kublai Khan, whose appearance characteristics were obvious, so everything was done by him. Wu Liehai is well-informed, and he also knows a little about the art of disguise, so at this time, he put on makeup for several people one by one, and after changing into Hanfu, the five of them looked no different from the people of the Central Plains.

And after such a busy time, it was almost midnight. Kublai Khan saw that the city of Lin'an was silent, and it was the best time to make a move, so he immediately jumped out of the window and hurried towards the southern end of Lin'an City, where the direction of the palace had already been stepped on. The remaining four mermaids came out, each of them shaped like the wind, silent, like a ghost under the night.

The Lin'an Palace of the Southern Song Dynasty was expanded on the basis of the original Hangzhou Prefecture of the Northern Song Dynasty, and was called Da Nei. Lin'an University is divided into five parts: the outer court, the inner court, the east palace, the academy, and the palace garden. The outer court lives in the south and west, the inner court is northeast, the east palace is in the southeast, the academy is near the north gate, and the palace garden is in the north. The palace city is surrounded by the imperial city, the south gate of the imperial city is the main gate of Li, the north gate is the Hening gate, there is the Donghua gate in the east, and there is the Xihua gate in the west. Miyagi has a north and south palace gates opposite the north and south gates of the imperial city. For these lessons, Xiao Yao already knew that he had done it, and at this time he knew it, leading the way in front and silently heading towards Hening Gate.

There are four groups of buildings in the outer dynasties: Daqing Palace, Vertical Arch Palace, Apse (also known as Yanhe Palace) and Duancheng Palace. Daqing Hall is located in the South Palace Gate, is the place of the Great Dynasty, the vertical arch hall is in the north of the west side of the Daqing Palace, the apse is in the north of the vertical arch hall, the Duancheng Hall is in the east of the apse, wherein the vertical arch hall is the palace of the Chang Dynasty, the rain of the Chang Dynasty, or there is an accident, then change the apse. In case of taboo before the holiday and the day of the ancestral ceremony, the royal apse. And the first stop that Kublai Khan intended to go to was this vertical arch hall.

As for the Emperor Lizong of the Great Song Dynasty, it was night at this time, so he didn't need to think about it, he must have slept peacefully in the dormitory. For these, Xiao Yao has already inquired and understood. The emperor's dormitory has the Funing Palace, the Qinzheng Palace, and the Jiaming Hall is the emperor's dining place. The queen's dormitory is the Hua Palace, the Kunning Palace, the Ciyuan Palace, the Renming Palace, the Shouli Palace, etc. In the palace, there are also the Emperor and the ministers of the Xuande Palace, the Chongzheng Hall and the Library Pavilion where the lectures are held, etc., and after some deliberation of the five people, they plan to come out of the Vertical Arch Palace, so they go straight to the Funing Hall and other palaces to search and probe one by one, eavesdropping on the emperor's words, and must obtain the secret information in the Song court.
