Northwest corner of the palace,
In a remote courtyard.
Wan Yanyue stretched out, grabbed a piece of snack from the wooden table, put it into her mouth and chewed it gently.
I have to say that Da Zhou’s stuff is indeed very tempting. As for this snack, it is extremely rare even in the royal court of Houjin.
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, not overly sweet but with a special sweet taste. What's even more commendable is that these snacks don't taste boring.
In comparison, the snacks on the grassland seemed extremely simple. Most of them are dairy products. Although they taste good if you eat them once in a while, if you eat them regularly, they will feel the same and boring.
"I don't know if my father knows the current situation in Youzhou."
"I heard from the eunuch that Dazhou has sent a messenger to contact my father and the others. Counting the days, they should still be on their way now."
"It's so boring. I finally came out once, but I can only be trapped in this palace. Although this snack tastes good, it will be a bit boring if you eat it every day."
"Besides...it's so boring without anyone to talk to."
Wan Yanyue rubbed her long black and beautiful hair and leaned on the soft couch reluctantly. I have to say that Dazhou's weakness is not bad either.
It's extremely smooth and soft when you lie down. The key is that it doesn't smell like sheep.
When I return to Houjin, I will definitely buy more of these comfortable silk quilts. By the way, we also need to bring a few more servants who can make snacks.
As she thought this, she felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier. But at this moment, a crisp sound caught her attention.
Just listen to the sound of someone moving on the roof. Although it can be clearly heard that the other party has paid great attention to the sound of his footsteps, it can still be heard clearly in the silent night.
What's going on? There were people walking on the roof late at night. Are all the guards in the Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty working for a living? Even this kind of person can sneak in. m.
Wan Yanyue thought so, but subconsciously held the dagger that was under the pillow.
This was a gift given to her by her father when she was seven years old. This dagger cuts iron like clay and is a rare good thing.
After holding her dagger, Wan Yanyue's expression couldn't help but relax slightly. She has even thought about it. As long as the other party dares to rush in, she will fight with him like a hungry wolf on the grassland!
She tried her best to suppress her breathing. At this moment, her heart was extremely nervous!
With a "bang" sound, the man seemed to jump down from the roof.
Then, the pace seemed to recede. The sound is getting lower and lower, but the frequency of steps is extremely fast.
It's obvious that the opponent is running. But it seems that the other party's target is not himself.
After thinking about this clearly, Wan Yanyue finally relaxed.
A place like the imperial palace is very similar to the royal court of Hou Jin. There are many very complex interests involved. Therefore, it is not surprising that some people visit the palace at night.
Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me.
Wan Yanyue thought so, her jade hand holding the dagger relaxed slightly, but at this moment, there was another clear sound of footsteps on the roof.
Wait a minute, is the thief back again?
Wan Yanyue's expression tightened. After greeting this person's ancestors for 18 generations, she tightened her grip on the dagger again.
But it didn't take long for her to realize that something was wrong, because the footsteps above her head were obviously much heavier than the footsteps just now.
In other words, the person on the roof at the moment did not deliberately hide his whereabouts.
In other words, he is most likely a guard in the palace!
Thinking of this, Wan Yanyue breathed a sigh of relief again.
I am worthy of being the smartest princess in the Houjin Royal Court. If it had been anyone else, they would have been so frightened that they could not sleep.
What she didn't expect was that in the room next door to hers, there was also a girl with a wary look on her face.
This girl looked particularly miserable. Whether it's the patches on her clothes or her gray face, it's enough to prove that this girl is no ordinary person.
She is not even dressed as well as the maids in the palace!
But although her clothes were very worn and had many patches on them, fortunately they looked quite clean.
Her figure is very thin, and she looks to be about the same size as a palace maid who has just entered the palace. On the thin face, a pair of big dark eyes were looking at the door vigilantly.
"God forbid, please don't let him enter my room. I really don't want anyone to get hurt because of me..."
"Be good, be obedient, and don't come in! Otherwise, your end will be miserable!"
She clasped her hands like a monk, looking very pious.
But that jerky look seemed extremely perfunctory.
At this moment, another rapid footsteps came to her ears.
Hearing this voice, the girl was obviously relieved.
"Okay, okay, God heard my prayer. Someone is coming, you can't just come in, right?"
The corner of the girl's mouth raised slightly. She was already convinced that the other party would never dare to enter her room.
And if he doesn't come in, his life will not be in danger.
But she didn't realize that at this moment, another slender reed pipe was quietly extending into her room along the window...
…
"Damn, this gangster is so fast! He's so careless."
Yang Dong rubbed his chest and felt his legs were slightly weak.
This is not because he has been plowing too much recently, which has made his waist a little weak. It's because during the chase just now, he used a lot of energy and blood to increase his speed.
In other words, if he didn't use the power of Qi and blood, he wouldn't be able to keep up with the opponent at all.
Thinking of this, Yang Dong's heart sank.
If we only analyze it from this perspective, the opponent's strength should be far greater than ours. In this case, what's the difference between following him here alone and sending him to his death?
Luckily he had his big baby with him.
Yang Dong rubbed the detonator on his chest, and his heart relaxed slightly.
With this thing around, he would feel much more at ease. If you can't use it, try not to use it. After all, the consequences of having an attack in the palace late at night would be extremely serious.
Wait, he seems to have stopped!
Yang Dong's eyes lit up, and he immediately lowered his body and slowed down. Followed quietly.
However, what he didn't expect was.
Just as he followed, the man in black jumped up and jumped into the dry well in the yard.
Looking at this familiar courtyard, Yang Dong felt a thump in his heart.
Some people died, but not completely...
