There was a fierce battle in the Yin'an Palace, and there were also people who couldn't sleep at night.

In the back kitchen firewood room, which few people noticed, there were two people hiding in the vegetable firewood stack at this time, chewing the dry food in their hands very carefully.

These two people are the assassins that Yang Yan has worked so hard to send into the Yan Palace.

The way for them to enter the Yanwang Mansion was through the cart that transported vegetables.

They don't hide in the vegetable basket, but hide in the mezzanine of the cart, which normal people would not have thought of.

That's right, for this mission they deliberately made a board car with a mezzanine, and both people and "equipment" were hidden in it.

Each time one person was brought in, a total of two people, two daggers, two short guns, and nearly ten catties of gunpowder were sent in two days.

Even in the firewood room, there were guards standing guard outside, and patrols passed by from time to time.

So the two of them wanted to hide here, and they haven't even gone out of the door until now, so they can only wait quietly for the opportunity.

The people who were sent to the palace, one was named Chen Gang and the other was named Zhao Gui, all of whom were about thirty years old, and they all had a fierce color.

These two were both soldiers of the border guards, and their families were ruined because they offended Shangguan, and they infiltrated the White Lotus Sect in desperation.

And the reason why he offended his boss was that the two of them were too good, and they were not only taken credit but also aroused jealousy.

"They've changed the guard!" Chen Gang said in a low voice.

Zhao Gui nodded and said, "Hmm...... Or you can take the opportunity to go out, sneak to King Xiang's bedroom, and then wait for the opportunity to start! ”

After a few breaths of silence, Zhao Gui said: "I'm afraid it's not so easy to ......."

"You're not scared, are you?" Chen Gang asked.

Zhao Gui didn't panic at all, and said slowly: "I just want to be foolproof!" ”

"What's foolproof, I was almost found last night, if I don't do it today...... I'm afraid we won't have a chance! Chen Gang said slowly.

Today's Yanwang Mansion, even if it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, its patrol density is surprisingly high, and the two of them have deeply understood this.

"Tonight, let's do it!" Chen Gang proposed again.

Zhao Gui was still weighing and thinking, he knew that what Chen Gang said made sense.

After a few breaths, I only heard Zhao Gui say: "Wait for another half an hour, and wait until late at night before you start!" ”

"Good!" Chen Gang agreed.

"Brother, tonight you and I will die, go to the underworld...... It's also a companion! Zhao Gui said with a smile.

Chen Gang shook his head and said, "It's not just the two of us, but the kid surnamed Zhu is also accompanied!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhao Gui smiled.

On the other side, Zhu Yili, who was sick at home, appeared at the corner gate of Wangfu, and he came prepared tonight.

A few days ago, he followed Zhu Boji, and it was easy to find out that this person was abnormal.

Knowing that these people wanted to enter the palace to do bad things, Zhu Yili's thinking suddenly became lively, and he thought about using this matter to achieve his goals.

He is also a lieutenant in Fengguo, although he has a good relationship with Zhu Yibin's father and son, his next generation will still be white, and once he burps, he will have to fall into the middle of the family.

Now that he met Zhu Boji and these people, he found an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and at the same time, he could also use this to frame the great sect.

First of all, he had to clean himself up, and then he would give the Zong the responsibility of letting the assassins into the palace.

The former one he let himself be sick and not mixed up, and then invited Zhu Yibin's brother-in-law to replace him.

At this time, he came to the palace in order to point out the thief at the right time, and then make a great contribution to rescuing Zhu Jinghong.

That's right, Zhu Yili could have reported it a few days ago, but this guy has to wait for the most critical time to maximize his own interests.

The guard on duty at the corner gate recognized Zhu Yili, and when he saw him coming late at night, he asked, "Brother, why are you here so late, aren't you sick?" ”

Zhu Yili had already prepared for this, and immediately replied: "I just can't be idle, for fear that Brother Wang will snub you, so I really don't worry, so come and take a look!" ”

These words were made up by Zhu Yili in advance, and he was able to justify himself to the greatest extent, even if the guards asked him if he had anything to say next.

The little flag officer who led the team said: "You are too dedicated to your work, there are few people like you in this world!" ”

"His Royal Highness King Xiang's visit to the Yan Domain is an honor for the whole family, how can you not serve with all your heart!"

"But it's so late, why bother with it!" The little flag officer said with a smile.

"If you don't go to see it, I'm really not at ease!"

Thinking that Zhu Yili is kind these days, and has done a lot of benefits and convenience for everyone, the little flag official said: "This person is ...... Forget it, if you want to go, go for it! ”

"Thank you!"

Entering the Yanwang Mansion as he wished was equivalent to completing the most important step, and Zhu Yili immediately accelerated his pace.

After he left, a guard on the spot spoke: "Boss, He Qianhu just said today, pay attention to all suspicious signs, this guy entered the mansion late at night...... Isn't that unusual! ”

Being reminded like this, the little flag officer who led the team was stunned for a moment, and then the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense.

"You think he'll be an assassin?"

Another year-long guard said, "Whether it is or not, there are suspicious ...... It's time to take the cross-examination! ”

Originally, because of the face of this small flag officer, the other guards who had opinions were not easy to speak, but now someone led them to express their opinions one after another.

Even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance that Zhu Yili is an assassin, he was put into the palace from them, and they may be held accountable if something happens.

The little flag official's name is Zhou Kui, and he also understood the seriousness of the matter at this time, so he immediately said: "Little San, Lao Wang, Zhuzi, Lao Wu will follow me, and the others will strictly guard their posts!" ”

"Yes!"

After ordering four subordinates, Zhou Kui went all the way to the mansion, and they even quickened their pace, and the armor collided with a metallic sound.

According to Zhu Yili, he should have gone to the kitchen, so several of them also went in that direction.

Along the way, they met the patrolling guards, and they also asked Zhu Yili about his whereabouts, and after making sure that the direction they were chasing was correct, they continued to move forward.

Soon, Zhou Kui and his entourage came to the outer kitchen, and asked the comrades on duty at the gate of the courtyard to find out that Zhu Yili had just entered.

"Zhou Xiaoqi, what's wrong?" One of the guards on duty asked.

"I have something to ask him......"

didn't have the heart to explain too much, and after leaving this sentence, Zhou Kui led people into the courtyard gate, and then he ordered his subordinates to work in groups of two and two to search each room separately.

And Zhou Kui himself pressed the knife to his chest, ready to fight at any time.

Seeing their posture like this, the two guards on duty at the door also entered the courtyard and guarded Zhou Kui around them.

"Zhou Xiaoqi, what's wrong?"

"I'm afraid that an assassin will enter the house, and I'm ordering someone to search it!"

As soon as he heard of the Assassin, the guard to his left said, "I'm going to call someone!" ”

"It's just that I went in that house just now, and I still need to call someone to take him? Where do we put our faces! Zhou Kui said in a deep voice.

As soon as they heard that Zhu Yili might be an assassin, the two guards who came in laughed, there was really no need to move rescue soldiers in this situation.

"Brother, what are you?"

When everyone was searching in turn, Zhu Yili appeared in the east wing, which was the place where the ingredients were placed.

Looking at Zhu Yili under the candlelight, Zhou Kui asked coldly: "Brother, I entered the palace so late, I'm afraid it's not just to check the ingredients!" ”

"Brother, you're laughing, it's not to check the ingredients, what else can you do!"

"That's all you know, let's go...... Let's go out and talk!"

Hearing that something was wrong, Zhu Yili believed that he had no flaws, so he smiled and said, "Okay...... It's not fun for you to keep watch at night, so I'll go find someone to buy some food and drink, and have a good chat with you! ”

Before there was no evidence, Zhou Kui was not easy to tear his face, so he also replied with a smile: "So good!" ”

So, Zhu Yili followed Zhou Kui and walked to the way out of the house.

Although he was calm on the surface, he was already anxious in his heart, for fear that he would lose the opportunity to make meritorious contributions tonight.

"It's better to find a reason later, and use the situation in the kitchen as an excuse to let a few of them go with me to catch the thief!" Zhu Yili made a calculation in his heart.

The problem now is that he doesn't know where the assassins are hiding, and for a while he can only say that he is going to try his luck.

But at least the meritorious service is a foregone conclusion, but the merit is different in size.

When Zhu Yili left with the guards, Chen Gang and the others hid on the beam of the room before they dared to wipe the beads of sweat from their foreheads.

Almost, if they have a little more friction, they will be discovered by Zhou Kui and his party.

"Brother, I'll just say it...... We have to do it as soon as possible, or we won't even have a chance! Chen Gang took a deep breath.

The two quietly got off the beam, then went out along the window, and followed the root of the wall to the north of the courtyard to hide, and then Zhao Gui took out a map.

This is the map of the Yan Domain, which was drawn by Zhu Boji from memory, and its terrain content is basically accurate.

"Now we are in the outer kitchen, the surname Zhu should be in Yin'an Palace, there are a total of four doors between the two, we have to find a way to cross it!"

What Zhao Gui said was the nearest road, but he mentioned that each gate was guarded by guards, and there were other guards patrolling back and forth during the period, and it was definitely difficult to pass through.

After listening to Zhao Gui's analysis, Chen Gang said: "If you don't go through the main gate, it's feasible to go over the wall!" ”

In fact, it is not feasible to climb over the wall, because it is impossible to determine the situation on the other side of the wall, and it may be self-defeating.

But there is no way to do it, for example, at this time, the two of them have to climb over the wall and escape from the kitchen first.

Although the two of them were once the elite of the border army, and their kung fu was first-class, they were not sure that they could easily take down the two people who were wearing armor at the door.

If they can't kill with one blow, they will be in danger of getting entangled with people, and tonight's assassination will be completely ruined.

The two of them were extra careful, and cooperated with each other to set up a human ladder, Chen Gang climbed the wall first, confirmed that no one outside climbed up, and then pulled Zhao Gui up.

Outside was a box, and there were no patrol sergeants at this time, but it happened that two eunuchs on duty passed through.

"Brother, change their clothes!" Zhao Gui made a suggestion.

After changing into the clothes of eunuchs, their actions should be safer, and Chen Gang naturally would not have any objections to this.

The two of them are good hands, and their grasp of timing is accurate to the extreme.

The two of them jumped off the fence together, locked their respective targets' necks, and then snapped them off with a sudden force.

Almost silently, the two eunuchs were eliminated, and then Chen Gang and the others began to change their clothes.

No one knew when the patrol would come, so the two of them moved extremely fast, and quickly changed into the green robes of low-ranking eunuchs.

It just so happened that one of the eunuchs was still carrying a food box, and they were able to eat some of the dishes in it, and then pour out the rest and put the gunpowder into the box.

Hiding the corpse and clothes in the corner, Chen Gang and the others followed the example of eunuchs, and lowered their heads and were about to walk forward.

But after only taking two steps, I heard Zhao Gui say: "Brother, we have to shave our beards!" ”

Chen Gang suddenly woke up, so he took out a dagger and began to shave his beard on his face, and Zhao Guizi did the same.

Their daggers are extremely sharp, and with their high kung fu, they can easily shave their beards clean, and they look much younger under the candlelight.

So one of them carried a lantern, and the other took a food box, and went to the first level.

Passing directly from the level, it can be seen that they have excellent psychological quality.

But they are definitely not brainless, and when they get to the vicinity, they first hide and observe the situation to see how the other eunuchs pass.

To put it simply, it is to show the waist card and then report the name.

The two of them also took the waist card, and the name information was memorized, and it seemed that the passage was a matter of course.

After taking a deep breath, the two of them walked forward side by side with their heads bowed, towards the group of guards guarding the door.

This is already the defensive area of the Dragon Guards, so their armor and weapons are better, but this also means that the physical exertion is greater.

Therefore, those who are on duty every night have to eat supper, and just now several batches of eunuchs are carrying food boxes, which are obviously sent to people from other places.

These supper, all made by Zhu Jinghong's inner kitchen, tasted much better, and the guards had a sense of anticipation every night.

Smelling the residual aroma of other people's food boxes, one of the guards said dissatisfiedly: "Everyone else has sent it, why hasn't Feng Chun come yet...... They're the first to arrive on weekdays! ”

At this time, Chen Gang and the others were only twenty steps away from the guards, and they heard these words.

Then Zhao Gui stopped, and squeezed Chen Gang into the alley on the side, but fortunately there was still an alley here.

"What's wrong?" Chen Gang didn't know what he meant.

Looking at the food box in his hand, Zhao Gui said with a complicated expression: "The person I pretended to be called Feng Chun!" ”

"This ......" Chen Gang felt deeply depressed at the moment.

"Brother, this door can only be managed to get through!"

As soon as Zhao Gui finished speaking, he vaguely heard footsteps, and the next moment a patrolling guard appeared on the other side of the alley.

The two of them hurriedly returned to normal, lowered their heads and carried lamps and food boxes, and walked directly in the direction of the patrol.

The two sides went their own way, because Zhao Gui and the others had good psychological quality, and the patrolling guards did not notice anything unusual.

After these people left, Zhao Gui and the two helped each other, and after a few breaths, they climbed over the wall again.

As soon as the two of them got off the ground, they heard footsteps again, and the next moment another guard appeared at the mouth of the alley, but this person came back after going to the thatched house.

At this time, Chen Gang had an impulse, that is, to get rid of this guard, pretend to be a guard and continue to sneak into the Yin'an Palace.

But the two of them still resisted the impulse, just because the dragon guards were all the best of the best, and the two of them were also not sure that they would be killed with one blow.

"What are you two doing here?" The guard scolded coldly.

Fortunately, after figuring out the situation, Zhao Gui replied: "Hui Yu, send supper to the brothers!" ”

"Take a look at the waist card!" The guard continued, he always felt that something was wrong with the two men.

Zhao Gui and the others handed over the waist card, and at the same time, the two of them made eye contact, ready to kill.

However, after the guard checked, he didn't find any problems, and the light was not good at night, so he returned the waist card.

"Send it quickly, don't mess around!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that the guards didn't find out, Zhao Gui and the others suddenly became confident, and when the guards left, they discussed how to go next.

At this time, in the Yin'an Palace, Miaoyu's whole person was about to collapse.

"Lord, I'm going to die......"

"I can't do it......"

Nomin's wild shouts were endless torture to Miaoyu's ears, and she was now eager to pick up a knife and hack the dog man and woman to death.
