At night, the wind blows across the city walls, torches burn quietly, and the patrols leave with their weapons in hand. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the city wall, in the distance is the location of the houses where the lights have been extinguished, and under the eaves, there are figures standing there with their hands behind their backs, looking indifferently at the towering walls in front of them, the figures come and go, and the torches stretch out like a long dragon.

There was a sudden knock on the door not far behind him, and a crack was opened.

"Well, the family is unconscious. Yelu Hongyu's voice said in the darkness. The figure under the eaves in the courtyard over there turned around, walked towards the door, and said to the person behind the door: "You said that the secret passage was found?"

"At the beginning, this secret passage was dug by me and the emperor's brother Li Yingwai, and it was prepared for the convenience of sneaking out to play. She shook her head suddenly, and smiled a little dejectedly: ".... It's a pity that things are no longer human. I didn't expect it to be sitting down, but fortunately, it's just an ordinary magnate, otherwise it's really hard to do. ”

In the darkness, she couldn't see the other party's expression clearly, Bai Ning walked past her, ".... It's time for revenge. ”

"yes, it's time for revenge. ”

Yelu Hongyu walked behind him in a slight tone, but a little sad, and then wiped the corners of his eyes without a trace, as if nothing had happened. Some distance further in, at the end of the attached house, Sun was no longer standing there, and at his feet there were already two unconscious men, dressed as slaves in this courtyard.

The woman directly crossed the figure on the ground and pushed open the door of the firewood room, the innermost firewood pile had been cleared, and a square hole in a seemingly undoubted floor tile was opened by Yelu Hongyu with a hidden mechanism.

"This is it. She took a deep breath, "From here, it will go straight to the backyard of the palace, Bai Ning and I will go in, Lao Sun is guarding here, the guard of the imperial city is called Wan Yan Baye, he is Wu Qimai's nephew, and he is also a fierce general on the battlefield, if this assassination fails, it will inevitably alarm the other party, this is the only way for us to escape from the palace, so someone must guard it." ”

"In addition, Bai Ning, you can't bring your weapons in, it's easy to be discovered, you have been in the palace for the longest time, you should know that except for the guards, only the emperor can wear a blade. ”

The Xuantian Mixed Yuan Sword was suddenly thrown to Sun Yan, and Bai Ning jumped down the dark path with a silent face and an expressionless face. Yelu Hongyu jumped down as well, and then came out and told the people guarding next to him: "If some people find that the situation here is not right, don't be soft, hold for an hour!"

She held up a finger.

Sun no longer nodded, stuck Bai Ning's sword into his belt, and leaned against the shadow of the wall with the copper stick.

Over there, there was no one at the entrance to the tunnel.

The Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Jin, the Imperial Study.

Footsteps flew in the corridor, and outside the door of the imperial study not far in front, a eunuch looked forward to seeing a slightly lower level eunuch coming towards this side, and immediately beckoned to the other party.

"Your Majesty is still staying up late to review the recital, and I feel distressed when I look at it, you go and bring a bowl of ginseng soup to your Majesty to replenish your body. ”

The little eunuch was stunned, obviously he had other things to do, and was about to open his mouth, when there were a few coughs in the room, and then Wu Qimai's voice sounded, which seemed to be calling people.

The older eunuch hurriedly responded, and while striding in with a smile, he turned his face and urged the little eunuch standing outside the door with compassion: "What are you doing in a daze, be careful of the board when you are late." ”

"Yes..."

The little eunuch trembled, hurriedly bowed down, and hurriedly ran back in the direction he came from.

"It's really unsightly. The figure at the door looked at the other party's anxious back with disdain, and then walked into the imperial study with a flattering smile.

The door closes.

......

The figure of the little eunuch ran back, passed through the guards at the bottom of the corridor and took ten steps, turned around and passed a garden, and after greeting a team of patrolling guards, he passed through the Moon Gate, and then walked more than ten zhang to the imperial dining room.

Most of the palaces are very quiet, and the path taken by the little eunuch is actually a shortcut, probably he does have something to do, so he has to find a way to do what is in front of him as soon as possible.

"I know that I am not on duty today...."The little eunuch recalled with some grievances, walking on the stone path illuminated by the lantern, the wind blew, and the huge spots of light on the ground swayed.

In the flickering light and sight, he suddenly stopped, and faintly heard a small sound in the grass not far away.

"Anyone?"

The little eunuch glanced hesitantly over there, and then, his soul was scattered and wanted to open his mouth to shout. A small black shadow flew in from mid-air, rolling in the Adam's apple, and shouted a voice.

Phew-

Under the lantern, the frightened figure shook, blood flowed down the bridge of his nose from the center of his eyebrows, and a small pebble shot directly into his head. In the grass, a black shadow flashed quickly, grabbed the body that was about to fall and dragged it into the hiding place, and there was a rustling sound.

Soon after, a small eunuch walked out, his face slowly twisting and squirming in indifference.

In a few breaths, the appearance became exactly the same as that of a dead person.

"Waiting for the opportunity to act...."Bai Ning straightened his robe and crown, whispered into the grass, and turned back in the direction he came from.

Behind him, a woman's silhouette followed him.

On the way, he occasionally encountered patrolling soldiers, and Bai Ning also coped with it, but when he was cornering, he met a palace maid, and the woman was startled at first, and then calmed down.

"I can't walk with long eyes....I'm scared my aunt to death. ”

"Small, some urgency, I'm really sorry. Bai Ning tried his best to keep his voice low, sounding sharper.

"Forget it, forget it, it's okay anyway, you can go. ”

The palace maid patted her chest and waved the cloth silk in her hand back, then walked away from the side, and suddenly stopped after a few steps, at this time Bai Ning's face sank slightly, and the female voice behind her said: "Wait... I don't think I've seen you...", then, his eyes widened sharply, and he pointed to it.

The figure that was pointed at suddenly turned sideways, and the moment the arm was raised, the hand was already pressed on the white neck of the palace maid, and the fingers twisted slightly.

Click.

The neck is broken and slanted on the shoulder. Bai Ning threw his body towards the eaves of the porch outside, and a pair of arms reached down to catch it, and dragged it up in a blink of an eye.

It didn't take long for him to walk behind him, and at some point there was another tall and athletic palace maid, and the two walked a few steps apart.

Outside the imperial study, the anxious figure was spinning in circles, and when he saw Bai Ning coming, he hurriedly approached the opposite side, and his finger was dotted in mid-air: "You......let our family say what you ..... do something... Dragging, uh... What about the ginseng soup that Your Majesty wants?"

The firelight under the eaves of the verandah outside the house was swaying in the wind, and Bai Ning looked at each other with a smile.

"No... When did you kid grow taller...."

At the same time as the words came out, the hand on the other side had already stretched out, grabbing the eunuch's face directly, and his five fingers fell into the flesh with a few pops one after another.

The blood light fluttered in the light of the lantern, and the blood spread.

The convulsive corpse was then quietly lowered to the ground, and Bai Ning and Yelu Hongyu's footsteps stepped over the bloodstains, and finally stood outside the door of the imperial study.

"How sure are you?"

"Within ten steps, you will die. Bai Ning wiped the blood on his hands with a white silk, threw it away, floated on the ground, pushed open the door with both hands, and walked in.

Inside, behind the desk, the bear-like old man was slightly stunned.
