Chapter 54 - Confrontation

In a room in the Royal Courtyard of the Sunset Empire............

Although the moon was obscured by dark clouds tonight, and the whole land was dark, it was extremely bright here.

It covers an area of about seven or eight hundred meters, and the empty space in this courtyard alone occupies about half of the entire courtyard area, and the remaining half is occupied by the buildings here.

Most of the buildings in this courtyard are made of golden rubble, and most of these buildings are luxurious and magnificent houses, and only a few are some entrance and exit doors, and the materials used to build them are many times better than ordinary materials, so it can be seen that this is not an ordinary place.

In fact, it looks like a courtyard, but in fact, it is not as simple as a courtyard, because in this courtyard, luxurious, Behind a magnificent house, there is another courtyard, which seems to be separate from the front courtyard, but is actually connected, and the difference from the front courtyard is that the front courtyard only has some luxurious buildings, and there is nothing else, and in the middle of this courtyard, there is a clear and transparent spring water, clear and transparent spring water, shining in the light of the sun, casting a dazzling light.

In the middle of the lake, there are stone arch bridges made of fine stone for people to walk on and enjoy the scenery of the lake.

And on the shores of this crystal clear lake, there are many trees, including red maples, turquoise willows, fragrant peach trees, and all kinds of fruit trees and other unknown trees, which decorate this spring lake with great beauty.

The most important feature of these trees here is that when this type of tree grows most vigorously, the others are slowly taking root and sprouting or are about to die, and so on, so that the trees here do not completely die all year round.

During the day, when the scorching sun shines down, most of the sunlight is blocked by the trees, and only a small spot hits the lake.

When the sunlight shines through the dense trees and hits the surface of the lake, the branches are obscuring the branches, leaving a shadow on the surface of the lake.

These speckled shadows, seemingly moving but not moving, seemingly not moving, a gust of wind blows, blowing the slightly dancing willows and other trees on the lakeside, the shadow reflected on the lake surface at this moment but swaying and moving, said slow is not slow, said fast is not fast.

Most of these trees are some precious trees transported from all over the mainland, it is these trees, coupled with these crystal clear spring water, that will decorate this place like a fairyland on earth, giving people a feeling of fascination, but unfortunately it is now night, nothing can be seen, if it is daytime, you enjoy such a scene, want to leave, but there is a feeling of reluctance, if you don't leave hard, I'm afraid you can't leave here for the rest of your life.

Although it was night, there was a pavilion in the middle of the stone arch bridge in the middle of the lake, which may have been a place for people to rest.

At the top of the pavilion, there is a night pearl that shines with golden light.

In the dark night, a night pearl appears, as if sending charcoal in the snow.

The illumination range of the night pearl is not large, although the brightness of the illumination is not as bright as the daylight, but it is enough, at least, it is no longer dark here.

In a courtyard in front of this courtyard, there is a large gate in front of it, and on all sides are buildings made of fine materials, all of which are houses, and there are no pavilions or anything like that.

The type of building in the whole courtyard is in the form of a courtyard when combined with the whole courtyard.

There are a certain number of buildings in the east, west, south and north directions of the quadrangle, among them, the most north building is the most majestic, majestic and magnificent, but unfortunately, it is night now, otherwise, under the illumination of the daylight, you can only see the golden light, brilliant brilliance, and even make you feel a little dizzy.

Even though it was night, this courtyard was the same as the back courtyard, with night pearls hanging so that the night was no longer too dark.

Compared with the courtyard at the back, the way of hanging the night pearl in this courtyard is different, the courtyard at the back hangs the night pearl on the pavilion, besides, there is only one, and in this courtyard, the night pearl is directly hung in the middle of the building in the east, west, north and south, besides, one on each side, a total of four.

Adding up the night pearls of the two courtyards, there are a total of five night pearls, which shows that this place is not comparable to ordinary places.

That's right, in the entire Western European continent, there are only three places that can be compared with here, namely the Huasheng Empire, the Huating Empire, and the Wunisi Palace, which has the smallest area, can be better compared to it, which also shows that this place seems to be related to some imperial palace.

That's right, this is the Imperial Palace of the Sunset Empire located in the middle of the Western European continent, and it is also the highest organization of the entire Sunset Empire.

In this courtyard, there are soldiers standing guard and patrolling everywhere, after all, this is where the emperor lives, can you not resist?

In the dark night sky, a black shadow fell on the courtyard at lightning speed.

"Who is it?" Under the faint light of the Night Pearl, the patrol soldiers noticed that there was one more person in the courtyard, shouted, and quickly rushed to the place with their spears and the other brothers falling down, they didn't want the assassins to come, even if it was to take their own lives, of course, their strength was not too weak, or, how could they be assigned to patrol here.

"Who is coming? dare to break into the palace in the middle of the night. At this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded in the sky, and immediately, several strong forces around the sky rushed towards the black-clothed man who fell to the ground.

The speed of the forcible force, under the illumination of the night pearl, only saw a rapid movement of black energy around him.

At the same time as this black energy appeared, the surrounding energy fluctuated rapidly, giving people a feeling of fear.

Although the air fluctuated, it didn't fluctuate for long, at most a second, and the air stopped fluctuating.

A '......' sounded, and immediately ten figures landed in the courtyard, surrounding the person who had fallen earlier in the center, in a circle.

Fortunately, the loudness of this 'poof' sound is not too loud, otherwise, I am afraid that the people who live in this courtyard will be scared so that they will not pee their pants.

At the same time that these ten figures fell to the ground, the soldiers who were patrolling with spears before also rushed here, surrounded the ten figures, and surrounded the black-clothed man in the center.

The man in black in the center, dressed in black, wearing a black cloak and a black mask on his face, makes it impossible to see his face, let alone recognize him, this kind of outfit can be regarded as a masked killer.

Under the yellow light of the Night Pearl, the man in black looked a little terrifying, making people feel a sense of horror but indescribable.

At the same time, a weak and timid person will faintly feel that there is a cold murderous aura exuding from him now.

The ten figures surrounding him were also wearing black clothes, but the difference was that on the chest of their clothes, there was a sun embroidered that was not too big, which was somewhat obvious under the illumination of the night pearl.

If you stand in front of them and look at the sun, you will find that under the sun, there is also a round sea, and above the sea, the waves fluctuate slightly, and the sun, which happens to be connected with the sea, forms a sunset, which cannot be seen clearly during the day, let alone at night, if you don't look carefully.

The sunset embroidered on their chests is the symbol of the Sunset Empire, and it is also the national emblem of the Sunset Empire.

It's not that people can't embroider the national emblem, the key is to see if the emperor allows it or not, if he doesn't allow you to embroider it, it's a crime of killing the head, after all, the country's national emblem is not everyone can embroider. If everyone walks on the street embroidered with it, what kind of system will it be, and what is the dignity of the country, so it can be seen that these ten people are not simple, and must have a great connection with the palace.

They did not wear cloaks, and often wore their hair on their shoulders. Like the men in black who fell in front of them, they also wore masks on their faces.

In fact, they did not wear masks on their faces, but shells, which were made of a thin layer of some kind of material, and the shells were made of hard, high-quality pure iron, pure steel, or a mixture of them, which obviously felt a little heavy compared to the masks, but those who often carried them did not feel anything unusual.

Their advantage is that they are extremely hard, even if an arrow with energy is shot at it, the most serious thing is to shoot down the shell, but its owner is unharmed, its disadvantage is that these shells can only protect the face below the eyes, and the forehead above the eyes cannot be protected, if the archer is a little more skilled, I am afraid that your life will be lost.

In their hands, they clenched a sharp sword, at this time, their sharp sword had already been unsheathed, they held the sword, angrily looked at the man in black who was surrounded by them in the center, at the same time, they also released a cold killer, over the years, there are not many people who break into the palace at night, but they know that the people who break into the palace at night do not have a good thing, either to assassinate the emperor, or to steal, or to find someone, etc., anyway, there is no good thing, to take them down.

And the night patrol soldiers who came quickly and stood there wearing only soldier uniforms, soldier hats, and soldier spears in their hands, no different from ordinary soldiers, if you regard them as ordinary soldiers, then you are wrong on top of wrong, and you are the only one who suffers, at this time, they have already raised their spears in their hands to face the man in black, and their faces are full of anger.

Looking at the people who surrounded him and glared at him, the man in black who was surrounded in the center did not react, and looked at the others quietly.

Some book friends may not be able to see what is going on, what is the situation, I tell you, these are all foreshadowing, and it is also very exciting, don't give up at will!

In the past two days, the teacher was teaching us "Dream of Red Mansions", which made me involuntarily sound its author Cao Xueqin, because for some reasons, the author did not finish the manuscript and passed away suddenly, leaving only regrets for future generations.

I used to think that those people are at least great, even if they die before the age of fifty, it is better than some people to live a lifetime in vain.

At first, I didn't like to read Dream of Red Mansions, but now it seems that this is a huge mistake, and the literary knowledge in it is not rich in our imagination.

However, it also has its drawbacks, that is, the storyline is not very good, not very engaging, therefore, without a firm belief, it is impossible to watch.

I often wonder how I can write a novel well, but I still haven't found the answer, the writing is careful, no one reads it, the progress is slow, the writing is rough, concise, the plot is gone, there are many people who read it, but I don't think there is any meaning, some things are not things that can be brought over in one stroke, alas, what should I do?

Looking for collections, recommended tickets?
