A group of 6 people from the Dove Union, led by her aunt, came to the woods on the side of the main road in the south of Anyi City, which was closest to them, and the city defense soldiers at this time patrolled back and forth in a team of 10 people.

The aunt, who was lying behind the haystack on the side of the road, turned her head sideways and whispered to everyone, "You see, some of these patrolling soldiers have begun to yawn, and it is estimated that the time for a change of guard is almost up." The aunt paused and asked the hundred ghosts on the side, "What time is it?" ”

"It's almost time." The hundred ghosts on the side took a wooden stick and stuck it on the ground, looked at the shadow cast by the moon and said.

"Well, that's pretty much it, I'll go to the city first in a while, and then you will follow me, after entering the city, we will divide into three roads and march towards the palace together, whether you find the princess of Wei or not, you must return to the starting position before the ugly time, and you will not wait for the time to pass, you will ask for more blessings!" Auntie said, turned her head to look ahead.

As soon as the words fell, the aunt stepped forward, found a hidden location to climb the city, and jumped up. Xiao Jian on the side was surprised to find that his aunt looked like an assassin, and the other five people followed closely behind and all arrived at the foot of the city wall.

"How's that, open your eyes? Hey. Brother Mao, who was following closely behind Xiao Jian, said.

"Shut up!" The hundred ghosts in front of him turned his head and said.

After a while, a hemp rope was thrown down from the city wall, and the other five people successfully reached the city through this hemp rope.

After the whole team went to the city, the aunt put away the hanging rope and whispered, "I just passed a team of patrol soldiers, and we began to act separately during the current interval, remember, gather here at the ugly time!" ”

Everyone nodded in unison and scattered, all approaching the center of Anyi City.

It may be that it was time to change guards, Xiao Jian and Brother Mao's group moved forward very smoothly, and they didn't meet any patrol soldiers along the way, so they simply moved forward quickly.

After a while, the two saw that the street in front of them was brightly lit, Xiao Jian hurriedly signaled Brother Mao to stop, and the two hid in a secret place at the foot of the alley to observe carefully.

A gray-black palace gate comes into view, the material of the palace gate should not be an ordinary wooden structure, if you guess well, it should be an iron gate, in this Warring States era, the iron gate should only be used in the palace to defend against foreign enemies, the palace gate on both sides of the palace extends to two pieces of ancient brick palace wall, which is very heavy. Many soldiers patrolled carefully in teams of 10 people, and the entire palace was flooded, and the soldiers held torches to illuminate the streets outside the palace as if it were daytime.

", Xiao Jian, so many soldiers are patrolling back and forth. How can you sneak in? Brother Mao said cautiously to Xiao Jian on the side.

"Wait ......," Xiao Jian only said one word, and then made a gesture to close his voice.

About half an hour later, the palace gate suddenly opened, and out of it came a team that seemed to change guards, and the teams that had been patrolling outside the palace began to gather at this palace gate, and the streets that were originally illuminated by the firelight were dimmed, and all the light was concentrated in the direction of the palace gate.

Xiao Jian patted Brother Cat and whispered, "The opportunity is here, go!" ”

Then Brother Mao followed Xiao Jian to a hidden alley closest to the palace gate, Xiao Jian vigilantly probed the palace wall outside the alley, this palace wall is about 2.5 meters, if the two of them work together to barely pass.

"Brother Cat, I'll put you up in a while, after you turn over, make sure it's safe around first, and then hand me the rope, understand?" Xiao Jian carefully instructed Brother Mao, and then pulled up his body and walked towards the outside of the palace wall.

I saw that Brother Mao nodded and followed Xiao Jian to the corner outside the palace wall.

Xiao Jian squatted down and signaled to Brother Mao, Brother Mao looked left and right very alertly and stood on Xiao Jian's shoulder, Xiao Jian stood up hard, at this time, Brother Mao's upper body was just able to cross the palace wall, only to see him fly and jump to the other side of the palace wall.

"I really didn't find out that Brother Cat's skills are not bad, is Auntie wrong to blame him?" Xiao Jian thought of this and was fighting for Brother Cat in his heart, but he didn't know that he didn't see the other side handing the rope over after waiting for a long time.

Seeing that the originally dark road ahead was getting brighter and brighter by torches, I thought that the patrol soldiers should have arrived soon, and when Xiao Jian was considering whether to continue the infiltration mission, he suddenly threw down a piece of rope from the other side of the palace wall, Xiao Jian grabbed the rope and jumped into the palace wall.

After landing on the ground, I saw the panting cat brother, and wiped the sweat on his face from time to time.

"What's the situation, what's wrong with you? Why did it take so long? Xiao Jian asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing, I forgot to bring hemp rope when I entered the city just now......"

"Didn't I see you with hemp rope wrapped around your waist and shoulders as you went? At least, there are 100 meters, right? Xiao Jian asked in disbelief.

"Hey, it's all my aunt, she said she went over the wall to enter the city first, I saw that she brought hemp rope, in order to reduce the counterweight, I threw the rope in the woods outside the city." Brother Mao replied with an innocent face.

"You're ...... Alas...... Stop talking, get on with the mission! Xiao Jian, who was angry, didn't know what words to use to describe Brother Cat at this moment, so he simply continued the unfinished task.

The two men carefully explored the terrain in the palace, marking each corner accordingly, so as not to be unable to escape due to the complicated terrain.

The location they are now is probably the west side of the palace, it should be the imperial garden, surrounded by rockeries and strange rocks, as well as ponds and streams, and there is a porch not far in front of them, which should be the entrance to the harem.

Xiao Jian pointed to the porch for Brother Mao, and took the lead to go under the porch to check if there were any night patrolmen ahead.

After some exploration, there was no movement around, Xiao Jian thought about it, their location might be the harem of the palace, and no men except King Wei were allowed to enter, so he turned his head and beckoned to Brother Mao, and when Brother Mao got closer, Xiao Jian continued to explore forward.

I don't know how many turns I made, passed through a few palace courtyards, and finally arrived at a two-story building, all the palace courtyards that passed through were not guarded by eunuchs and palace maids, and only this two-story building was guarded by palace maids and eunuchs, and these palace maids and eunuchs on duty seemed to fall asleep leaning on each other because they were too tired. Xiao Jian raised his eyes and saw that there was faint candlelight on the two-story building.

"It's all come to this point, my eyes are black, I don't have a map, I don't know the route, there are people living here, why don't we go in and investigate?" Xiao Jian said to Brother Mao.

Brother Mao nodded in agreement with Xiao Jian's suggestion.

Xiao Jian then motioned to Brother Mao to follow him, and then prepared to probe if there were any unclosed windows and doors around the small building.
