Unexpectedly, Xin Kan didn't say any more, and said again: "Three Chai brothers, without further ado, you and I will enter the palace to face the saint, if we delay any longer, once Yelu Yanxi escapes, I don't know how long I will have to wait." ”

The three Chai brothers were also extremely anxious, and the four of them immediately left the inn and hurried to the palace of Linhuang Mansion.

Shangguan Yun thought about the news of the second uncle, and didn't want Xiao Yingying to take the risk, so he said: "Yingying, you stay here, I will follow them to find out the news of the second uncle, and I will come back soon." ”

Xiao Yingying was not worried about Shangguan Yun's safety, she shook her head and said, "Brother Yun, my light skills are not weaker than yours, so let's go together, and we can take care of them." ”

Shangguan Yun persuaded: "Wanyan Agu is here, the palace must be extremely well defended, the enemy is outnumbered, and it is inevitable to suffer losses when you move, in case you and I are separated, what if we are separated?"

Xiao Yingying was very resolute, she resolutely said: "Brother Yun, if you go alone, I will not be able to let go, I can't go, and you don't want to go alone." ”

Shangguan Yun was not good at persuading again, the two of them were equipped with lost ghost steps, and the snow was too conspicuous, so they abandoned the horse and left it in the inn, so that they would follow the four of them away after opening a light gong.

They followed the brothers Xinkan and Chai around a few streets, and walked two or three miles along a golden wall more than four feet high, and came to a few gates. I saw that the gate in the middle was nearly three zhang high, it was inlaid with golden beast buttons, and the two door knockers were almost the thickness of an arm, although it was a door, it was much larger than the courtyard of the ordinary rich and noble. On both sides of the door, there is a row of six Xuan-colored beasts that are nearly zhang high, and there are two slightly smaller side doors on both sides of the gate. The wall is full of splendid pavilions and pavilions, almost towering into the clouds, this must be the original palace of the Khitan people, and now the Yelu Yanxi country is ruined, and this has become the palace of the Yan family.

At this time, it was getting dark, but the gate of the palace had already closed, and the four of Xinkan knocked on the knocker of the side door. After a while, a small crack opened in the side door, and Sinkan took a token from his bosom and handed it in. After another moment, the side door opened, but it was only half open, and as soon as the four of them entered, the guard inside the door hastened to close the door again.

Shangguan Yun and Xiao Yingying swaggered into the door, and the two of them looked for a lower place along the palace wall so that they could jump on the wall and climb into the palace. After walking two or three hundred feet, he saw a big tree by the wall that two people were hugging, and one of the branches with the thickness of an arm had reached into the palace wall. Although the others did not dare to enter the palace through such a thin branch, but the two of them were equipped with a ghost walk, and climbed to the tree in a few clicks, and they looked inside the wall, and saw that no one was patrolling, so they jumped into the palace along the branch, which was very easy.

There are a lot of flowers and plants in the pavilion in the palace, and the two of them are hidden, but it is easy, they go around to the gate, and there is no trace of the four of Xinkan. Shangguan Yun and Xiao Yingying searched for a while, but they still didn't see the four of them, they only split up to look for them, and then made an appointment to meet under the big tree.

Just because the Jurchen Emperor is here, red lights are hanging everywhere in the palace, there are guards patrolling from time to time, and there are many secret sentinels and masters hidden in those hidden places. Fortunately, Shangguan Yun learned to have a lonely martial arts trail, he hid in the shadows for a while to avoid the patrolling Jin soldiers, and then ran on the roof of the house quickly, but no one noticed. He slowly came to the northernmost back garden, which was even more heavily guarded, with more than a dozen teams of men patrolling back and forth, just afraid that Wanyan Aguta was sleeping nearby.

The palace in front of it is luxurious and vast, beyond the reach of other palaces, and it must be there after Yan Aguta. Shangguan Yun turned over and jumped off the roof, and saw a team of guards coming straight to this side, but there was no hiding place around him except a rockery.

Shangguan Yun didn't dare to hesitate, his body flickered into the rockery, and as soon as he stepped into two steps, he heard a movement of Suosuo inside, and then there was a choking sound of drawing a knife, which must be a secret whistle. Shangguan Yun followed the sound, and the wind was even more under his feet, and before the dark whistle could speak, he rushed to the front in a blink of an eye. He didn't slow down for half a minute in his hand, and the fire fold in his right hand shook slightly, identifying the back of the dark whistle's neck, and slashing it with a slight tap of his left palm. These few times were clean and neat, the dark whistle just opened its mouth, and fell down before it shouted, Shangguan Yun grabbed it and slowly put it on the ground, so as not to make a sound.

After waiting for a while, the team of guards left, Shangguan Yun put his mind at ease, and planned to walk out of the rockery, so that he could enter the main hall to inspect, and heard a person outside say respectfully: "Trouble spreads, Xin Kan and the three heroes of the Chai family have something important to ask to see the emperor and the two marshals." Shangguan Yun was overjoyed, this was really a nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it, he didn't go out for the time being, and still hid in the rockery to watch the changes.

A duck-like voice said, "Wait a minute, let's go and report it." It didn't take long for the eunuch to say, "The emperor invited the four heroes to come in and meet each other." ”

Xin Kan and the three heroes of the Chai clan thanked each other and entered the hall.

Shangguan Yun first quietly took a look and saw that there was no one in the garden, so he started to wander out. He shook his body a few times, came to the side hall, and climbed up to the roof again. Shangguan Yunfu lowered his body and tiptoed to the ridge of the roof, he gently uncovered a few tiles and quietly looked into the hall.

There are already three people in the hall, they are Wan Yan Sheng, Wan Yan Zongwang and Wan Yan Zonghan, Wan Yan Sheng is sitting behind the desk in a dragon robe, and Wan Yan Zongwang and Wan Yan Zonghan are sitting in front of the desk on the left and right. It turned out that Jin Taizu died soon after Yan Agu defeated Liao, and his fourth brother Wan Yan Sheng ascended the throne for Jin Taizong. Wanyan Zonghan was also promoted to the left deputy marshal because of his outstanding military exploits during the destruction of Liao, and his prestige caught up with Wanyan Zongwang, and he was also promoted to the left and the right of Wanyan Zongwang.

Soon an old eunuch walked in with Xinkan and Chai Sanxiong, the old eunuch kowtowed to the ground and withdrew, but Xinkan and Chai Sanxiong did not kneel, they bowed and saluted, and then said respectfully: "Xinkan (Chai Lang, Chai Hu, Chai Leopard) has seen the emperor, the right marshal, the left marshal." ”

Wan Yan Sheng raised his hand to signal the four of them to be polite, and said with a smile: "The four heroes don't need to be polite, when you come to me, you can be regarded as guests." Come, give a seat. Several palace people brought four brocade stools, and Xin Kan and the three heroes of the Chai family thanked them, and then sat sideways.

Wanyan Zonghan snorted coldly, and said loudly in his loud voice: "Wherever the emperor goes, you will follow him, aren't you annoyed and panicked? If it weren't for Shangguan Yun's intervention, Yelu Yanxi would have been captured long ago, you didn't go to Shangguan Yun to take revenge, and you didn't go to find Yelu Yanxi's whereabouts, but you came to disturb the emperor's tranquility every day, could it be that Yelu Yanxi hid by the emperor's side?"
