Chapter 3: There are a lot of people in the yamen
"Tuk, tuk. The gentry beat bells and drums in the streets, circling slogans that have not changed for thousands of years.
At this time, it was already the fourth watch, and there were less than two hours before dawn.
In a room in the corner of the yamen, there was no light coming through, but there was a person sitting at the table, closing his eyes and recuperating.
He didn't sleep all night, waiting for someone to come, and he knew that this person would definitely come, because it was what he needed most.
In the main hall in the center of the yamen, there is a delicate table, on which is placed a pot of flowers, the petals are crystal clear, gently swaying in the night breeze, as if the branches will fall at any moment.
Around the flower pot, there are four officials, holding long knives, with solemn expressions and grim eyes, scanning the four directions of the south, east, west, and northwest, four in one, leaving no dead ends.
In the courtyard outside the house, officials and messengers work in pairs to patrol everywhere, carefully inspecting every corner.
After a while, Yang Tian came out of the house and met the two people on patrol.
"How is it?, have you found anything unusual?" Yang Tian asked the two.
"Qi Qi head catcher, everything is normal. ”
"Okay, keep patrolling, be vigilant, I don't want a bird to fly in. Yang Tian said solemnly.
"Yes. The two continued to walk forward after receiving the order, while Yang Tian yawned and prepared to go into the house for a while.
After the three of them dispersed, the silence of the night was restored, but not far from where they had just spoken, a shadow suddenly moved.
A black head slowly protruded from the shadows, glanced to the left, and then quickly moved towards a rockery to the left.
The moonlight poured down and shot towards the rockery, forming shadows one after another, and these shadows became the best hiding place for the mysterious black shadow.
I saw that the black shadow kept changing its position, approaching the main hall step by step.
This black shadow is Jingfa, and this concealment technique is the stunt taught to him by the man in black.
This concealment technique is very simple to say, it is to use the surrounding environment to hide yourself, so that you can integrate with the surroundings, and you can't distinguish between you, me and him, so as to achieve the purpose of secret infiltration.
But it's easier said than done, and the camouflage of the body is easy to handle, but the core difficulty lies in hiding one's aura and grasping the timing of movement.
Although the art of concealment was a necessary skill for most Assassins, there were very few people in the world who had actually reached the realm of incarnation, and it just so happened that the man in black was one of them.
But even with such a famous teacher, when the man in black saw Jing Fa's learning progress beyond his god, he was once dumbfounded, in his life, he had never met someone who learned so fast, and it only took an hour, Jing Fa was already better than many people who had studied hard for two or three years.
Seeing that Jing Fa's comprehension was so high, the man in black praised him in his heart.
In this way, Jingfa relied on this concealment technique, and quickly reached the periphery of the garden outside the main hall unimpeded all the way, as long as he passed through this garden, he could successfully enter the main hall, and in the center of the main hall, there was the colorless flower that the man in black needed the most, the strange flower that could dissolve the poison of the Seven Poisonous Hands.
But it's not easy to get through this last garden.
In this garden, patrols follow each other in pairs, leaving no space for Jingfa to move.
As soon as he leaves the shadows, he will be discovered by the patrol team as soon as possible, and at that time, he will have a problem even saving his life, let alone extracting flowers.
Just when he was anxious, God gave him a perfect opportunity.
He found that the whole garden was very well patrolled, except for a gap in the southwest corner, where there were many rockeries and dense trees, which caused the road to be the most curved, so that the front and rear patrols passed by there with a blink of an eye.
And this blind spot is the only way that can allow him to safely pass through the garden and reach the main hall.
But it was only a blink of an eye, and there was no room for him to make the slightest mistake.
Jingfa came to the southwest corner, holding his breath, waiting for the arrival of the blind spot.
Finally, the sound of shuttles came, and a team in front of them slowly marched past Jingfa's side.
Jing Fa watched their figures disappear around the corner, seized the opportunity, and quickly rushed forward.
He was right, there was indeed a momentary blind spot here.
Just as he watched with joy as he was about to enter the next hiding point, suddenly there was a sound of shuttle.
"His grandfather's, why did he turn back after leaving?" Jing Fa shouted in his heart, he found that someone in the team who had left seemed to have turned around and returned.
I saw that the corner of the official uniform was gradually revealed from behind the rockery, and Jingfa's heartbeat accelerated to the extreme, and it was impossible for him to retreat at this moment, so he could only rush forward with all his strength.
Seeing that the official was about to see Jingfa exposed to the moonlight, suddenly, a cat meow sounded, breaking the silence of the night.
"Who?" the officer immediately drew his saber and looked in the direction of the cat's meow.
With the help of this moment, Jingfa quickly hid in the shadows, his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, but he didn't dare to gasp loudly, forcibly smoothing his fast-beating heart.
"Lord Cat, Uncle Cat, your appearance is so timely, the big fish on the dinner table at my house has not had time to eat, now I am ready to leave it all to you, you are welcome, you are satisfied." Jingfa shouted loudly in his heart.
After stabilizing his mind, Jingfa slowly sneaked to the window of the main hall, and saw that the colorless flower was placed on the wooden table in the center, closely protected by four officials.
"His grandfather's, this problem is one after another. Jingfa lowered his head and scolded secretly.
To say that he was able to pass through the garden smoothly just now relied on strength and luck, but now, if he wanted to quietly steal the colorless flower under the noses of the four big living people, no amount of strength and luck was enough.
Now there are only two choices left for him, one is to attack quickly and subdue the four people as quickly as possible, but once his body is exposed, it will inevitably attract other reinforcements, and the most terrifying thing is that the master of the Boundless Pavilion is in the yamen at this time, and as soon as he comes, how many lives he has is not enough.
The second is to transfer the tiger away from the mountain to see if the four people can be transferred from their posts, but the problem is that they are alone, and they lack skills, so who will steal the flowers after luring them away?
Thinking of this dilemma, Jing Fa's head was as big as a fight for a while, in the past, he felt that being an assassin was simple and pure, and he would be done after taking the task and killing someone, but tonight, these many complex factors poured into his brain together, and he couldn't move forward half a step forward.
"Hey, it's not easy to be an assassin. Jing Fa shook his head, thinking that since it was a dead end no matter how he thought about it, he simply didn't want to, anyway, everyone had already come, and it was impossible to retreat, if he escaped from the battle, he might be able to escape the clutches of the man in black, but Yao Cai was definitely dead, and even if he could escape, he would become the target of the government's wanted for the rest of his life, and no matter how he thought about it, it would be a loss-making business.
So he made up his mind whether to live or die, and resigned himself to fate.
The second option will definitely not work, so you can only take a dangerous move and choose the first path.
Jingfa knew that once he made a move, what awaited him next would be a fierce battle, so he decided to prepare early and try to increase his chances of winning, even if the original chance of winning was a small pitiful one.
He slowly crept under all the windows around the main hall, rubbed his own blood on the edge of the window, and then came to the door, smearing the surrounding area with blood around the doorframe.
In this way, if you really want to fight, the broken sword can also play the greatest role.
Everything was ready, Jing Fa took a deep breath, clenched the hilt of his sword, and rushed into the main hall like a tiger out of the cage.
