Chapter 624: Exploring the Palace at Night

The next day, late at night.

The deep night surrounded the heavens and the earth, and the people who were almost oppressed were breathless, giving people a very low feeling, because there were dark clouds in the night, and there were not many people on the streets, and it seemed that the whole street was empty, and it made people feel even a little dead and silent.

The low wind blew all around, blowing on the body, and even gave people a feeling of coldness, making the whole street seem a little quiet and dead, and at this time, several people in Lijinglou, all dressed in black, walked out of this residence, and then took advantage of the night to sneak in the direction of this Goguryeo palace.

Along the way, they also met some guards patrolling the streets, but since they were able to become spies in Lijinglou, they also had some ability, and easily avoided the guards patrolling the streets, and came to the city wall of this palace.

"We will act from this side, and after about half an hour, we will be able to enter the palace, and we will directly light a fire after we enter, so that the whole palace will be in chaos, and you will go in again, half an hour, remember. ”

The middle-aged man with a calm face and the young boy glanced at each other and whispered to the tall and thin man.

Actually, they don't need to be so serious, it's just that this may be the last time they see each other, and it is also the last time they will talk to each other, and they all want to say a few more words to each other, which can be regarded as a memory.

"You must be careful, as long as you can escape, try to escape, and hope we can meet again. ”

The thin and tall man's gaze swept carefully over the faces of these two people, as if he wanted to imprint their faces deeply in his eyes, and the expressions on those faces were also extremely solemn and reluctant.

"Don't worry, who really wants to die, as long as we have the chance, we will definitely do our best to come out. ”

The calm middle-aged man bowed his hand deeply to everyone, and then said,

"The hour is almost up, and this is the end, farewell. ”

"Lao Zhang, wait. ”

Without waiting for the middle-aged man to turn around, the tall and thin man and the remaining partners of Lijinglou all came to the two of them, and then opened their arms and hugged them.

"Whether you live or die, you and I are brothers, and your family is also our family, and we will take good care of you, but in the end, we still hope that you can come back alive. ”

"Heaven willing. ”

"Farewell. ”

The last entrustment fell, and the steady man and the young man broke free from everyone, and then resolutely turned around and walked in the direction of the palace, while the tall and thin man and the others stood in the distance, watching them leave.

Whoa!

But a moment of effort, the two of them have already come to the palace with tools, the two glanced at each other, and took out the bow and crossbow on their backs, this is the bow and crossbow specially equipped by Lijinglou, which can easily provide people with the convenience of climbing the city wall, with the shooting of the bow and crossbow, two arrows with steel hook locks shot into the high city wall.

Bang!

There was a low muffled sound, and the hook lock was inserted deep into the city wall, and then, both of them quickly climbed up with the hook lock, and when they reached the end of the hook lock, the other shot out the hook lock, inserted it into the higher part of the city wall, and then continued to climb upward.

In about a quarter of an hour, the two of them had reached the highest point of the wall, they lurked under the wall, and then carefully swept around, only to see some guards guarding the wall, patrolling around with swords and guns, but their vigilance was not high.

At least, compared to the guards of Chang'an City, it is too much worse.

"Let's go. ”

The two men hung under the city wall, waited for about half an hour, and after composing for some gaps, they turned directly onto the city wall, and then flew quickly towards the opposite side of the wall.

Whoa!

When they were trained in Lijinglou, they had a lot of training on Dengcheng, which really came in handy at this time, but after a moment's effort, they moved to the opposite side of the city wall, and then with the convenience of the Dengcheng crossbow, they quickly fell under the city wall.

When they acted like this, they also caused some footsteps, but the guards who patrolled the city wall did not care, nor did they take it seriously, they glanced at it casually, and without careful study, they walked away into the distance again.

Therefore, the overall process is very smooth.

"This should be it. ”

The two of them entered the palace, and according to the guidance of the layout plan of the Goguryeo palace they had received before, they quickly lurked towards the palace interior, but in a moment they had already arrived at the location close to the emperor's residence, and if they went deeper, it would be easy to attract the attention of the palace masters.

So, they chose this place as the location for the ignition, which was enough to cause large-scale chaos!

Crash.

The two of them carefully observed the surroundings of this palace called Gaoming Hall for a while, and soon found the most suitable place to light the fire, they came tonight specifically to set the fire, with some gunpowder and fire oil and fire folds, carefully dispersed these things, placed them, and then lit the fire in the wind.

Whew!

Whew!

The gunpowder burned rapidly, causing a dazzling fire around this Gaoming Palace, and the fire oil scattered around was also quickly ignited, and a flash of fire spread almost at a lightning speed, this Gaoming Hall was originally a wooden structure, and the speed of this flame diffusion was also extremely fast!

It didn't take long for the momentum to burn, and then it caught the attention of the soldiers who were guarding around it.

"It's on fire!"

"Come and put out the fire, it's on fire!"

With bursts of shouting, more guards also converged towards this side, some of them were busy picking up buckets, and the two spies of Lijinglou quietly retreated into the distance, and then swept towards the Gaoming Palace, and then lit a fire here, it would be more convenient to light the fire!

"Hula!"

After a while, the two of them entered the inside of this Gaoming Palace, which is dedicated to the gods of Goguryeo everywhere and the ancestors of the Goguryeo royal family.

Rumble!

The fierce firelight spread rapidly along the entire Gaoming Hall in an almost uncontrollable attitude, and soon, it had already wrapped the entire hall, spreading rapidly, and it already had an uncontrollable momentum.

"Almost, the momentum has been built and we need to attract more people's attention. ”

The two of them walked out of the firelight, their eyes looked in the direction of the palace with solemnity and gloom, and the look on their faces also became even more cold, and even a little resolute.

"Let's go, Uncle Zhang, I'll listen to you. ”

The young spy was obviously a little nervous at this time, and he was even a little trembling when he spoke, but he didn't flinch in the slightest, and his face was still fierce and resolute, which was what he should do as a person in Lijinglou.

"Don't be afraid, even if you die, your Uncle Zhang is in front of you, and I will explore the way for you first. ”

The middle-aged man sensed the nervousness of the young spy, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and then led him towards the central area of the palace, and at the same time, on the way, they also deliberately revealed their figures, and then attracted the attention of the night watch.

"There are assassins!"

"Catch the assassins......"

But in an instant, countless shouts rang out from all directions, and more guards rushed in the direction they were, and followed the direction they had absconded, tracking them away.

For a while, the entire palace became even more chaotic.

......

"It's almost time. ”

At the same time, outside the palace, under the dark and deep city walls, the tall and thin man and the spies who were also from Lijinglou were listening carefully to the movements inside, and they saw that the guards at the city gate were nervous, and there was also a fire inside, and their faces became solemn.

"Lao Zhang, they have already paved the way for us, it's time for us to do it, be careful. ”

"Be careful, someone must be able to send the news back to Chang'an City. ”

"Do you understand?"

The tall and thin man's face was solemn and low, and he carefully swept over a few people, and said in a low voice.

"Understood. ”

Everyone bowed their hands one after another, and then they directly thanked the city wall without saying anything, but in a moment's effort, the crossbow arrows of this road were shot into the sky above the city wall, and then they were like geckos, quickly climbing towards the imperial city.

It's almost as fast as it gets.

Crash!

They were all specially trained people, and in almost a moment's effort, they had already turned the city wall, and then entered the palace, because of the ignition and assassination of the two people in front of them, they had a lot fewer guards here, and it looked a little empty.

They also moved a lot faster, and soon, along the route that had been explored a long time ago, they came to the place where the Rites and Palaces were used to house foreigners, which they had already explored, and when they had done so before, they probably knew the structure of the Goguryeo Imperial City, the Rites and Halls, which were similar to the places in the Imperial Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty.

It is specially used to pick up distinguished guests from outside.

Since those foreigners can be received by His Majesty Goguryeo, they will inevitably live here.

Shout!

Shout!

The tall and thin man with a few spies approached the place of the temple from two directions, looked around, and found no special guards guarding it, obviously, because the Goguryeo Emperor was in trouble, most of the guards of the forbidden army ran over there to guard!

It's a lot empty, too.

"Before, after, left and right, in four directions, find the residence of those aliens as quickly as possible, and then look for useful clues, and after half an hour, reassemble here, and if anyone does not show up, leave immediately. ”

The tall and thin man finally explained to a few people, and said in a low voice,

"Be careful. ”

"Yes. ”

Several guards nodded one after another, and then dispersed one after another, and then sneaked into the interior of the temple from four directions.

Crash!

Crash!

Their speed was very fast, but the sound was very small, and it did not attract the attention of the people inside, and soon, they found a place where people lived, and the structure of this ritual and hall was also modeled after the palace structure and system of the Great Wei Dynasty, and they were naturally able to distinguish where important people lived and where unimportant people lived.

The locations they investigated were all the houses where the important people were.

"I'm here, you're there. ”

"Split up. ”

The tall and thin man and the man looked at each other, and then they each approached the two rooms located in the center of the second floor of the Lihe Hall, the tall and thin man entered the south room, and the other man entered the north room, and with a creak, the door was quietly opened.

"Purr ......"

"Purr ......"

The tall and thin man was still a little worried, there was such a big movement outside, these aliens were likely to be woken up, and he was deliberately a little careful, but after entering the house, he found that he was completely worried.

The room was filled with a strong smell of alcohol, and these guys seemed to be so drunk that they were not affected by the movement outside, and even the snoring was louder than the noise outside.

"It's easier for us to do things. ”

The tall and thin man looked around, but did not find anything unusual, and then began to search carefully in this room, and at the same time, the rest of the spies of Lijinglou were also in the rest of the rooms, searching intensively.

"What is this?"

But after a moment's effort, the tall and thin man found something strange, this is a special fragrance of things, he put it near his face and smelled it, and suddenly felt that the whole person was refreshed, and even had a feeling of fluttering fairy, and at the same time, this mind was also a little drowsy.

"It's ...... Poppy?"

At this moment of trance, the thin man's face suddenly changed greatly, and even a cold sweat seeped out of his back.

Although they have not seen this black paste, they have seen something called poppy, and the effect that that thing can bring seems to be very similar to this paste-like object, as well as this taste, which they have personally experienced when they were training in Lijinglou.

"Why do they have such a thing?"

The tall and thin man frowned, thought for a moment, and then took some of the paste off and put it in his arms, and then he searched around the cabinet, where there were some strange words written on them, although he didn't know what they were, but he didn't let them go.

Everything was stuffed into the package that I carried with me.

At this time, he is not afraid of arousing the suspicion of others, these aliens are so weird, there are things similar to poppies, this thing is terrible, he knows very well, maybe they are planning something terrible.

You have to bring everything back for the reference of Chang'an City......
