The night is getting dark.
Lanterns were lit in various corners of the palace, and the Ouchi guards patrolled more frequently. Occasionally they would bump into a lone palace maid or eunuch, and they would go there and conduct strict interrogations.
Every night.
The masters raised in the palace will also follow suit.
These people start off as top-notch people.
At this time, the safest place in the world is the palace.
Of course, this is only for the wealthy.
A dark shadow flashed.
Lin Cheng carried two packages and shuttled quickly and silently in front of the palace wall.
He came in because of Princess Yunzhi.
Now that there is no other party to clear the way, it is natural to hide from the masters in the palace to avoid unnecessary trouble.
fortunately.
He was once a member of the imperial guards and knew the layout of the palace very well.
Follow the route from memory.
Coupled with Yun Yi Qing Tian Bu, Lin Cheng had already easily avoided more than a dozen waves of patrols.
Suddenly!
Lin Cheng stopped and twitched his ears, and all the sounds from hundreds of feet around him fell on his ears.
It was a burst of dense, fast footsteps.
Coming towards him.
"hurry up!"
"That black shadow was so fast. If I hadn't practiced the technique to improve my eyesight, I probably wouldn't have been able to spot it."
"This person doesn't dress like a palace maid or eunuch."
"Since we bumped into him, it's a credit."
"Everyone, hurry up and don't let the other party escape."
From the sounds of footsteps and conversations, Lin Cheng judged that this was a team of five people.
These people are obviously different from the Ouchi guards.
There are not many of them, but each of them is a super-class existence.
Lin Cheng sighed.
On normal days, he would have made these people fall to the ground with just a few breaths.
But now we are in the palace.
As long as they fight, people will feel the fluctuations of true energy, which will attract more masters, even masters.
Lin Cheng stood there.
As soon as he thought about it, the formless Qi in his body began to circulate.
In an instant.
He transformed from a teenager into a tall, thin, and kind-looking middle-aged man.
This looks like Commander Han of the Imperial Guard.
This man was in charge of hundreds of guards and was very popular. He was also a close confidant of the queen and had great reputation.
Lin Cheng was waiting where he was.
After a while.
The five people came together, and after seeing Lin Cheng, there was a trace of regret on their faces.
"Commander Han, why are you here?"
The leading expert asked Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng weighed the package in his hand under the eyes of everyone, and said helplessly: "It must be Han who has alarmed everyone. It's just that the noble man has something to entrust, and Han has to go there in person!"
Noble person?
The five people were stunned and immediately understood who it was.
As Commander Han's confidant, who can he serve?
It goes without saying.
Seeing that several people were motionless, Lin Cheng suddenly asked, "Do you want to check Han's badge?"
"No no no."
The leader quickly shook his head and waved his hand: "We are all so familiar with each other. Since Commander Han has something to do, we will leave first and drink together another day."
Finished.
Several people turned into black shadows and disappeared into the night.
Lin Cheng chuckled lightly and continued on his way.
the other side.
After the five people left for a distance, they stopped.
One of them complained: "It turns out to be Commander Han. I don't know what mission the Queen has assigned to him."
"who cares!"
Some people looked disdainful.
Everyone is top-notch, why do you think you are the Queen's confidant, but we are still patrolling at night in pain.
unfair!
Several people were discussing and complaining about Commander Han's relationship.
"Have you said enough?"
A sharp shout sounded.
Several people turned to look, their faces suddenly filled with embarrassment and shame.
The leader gritted his teeth and asked the person who came out: "Han, Commander Han, why did you follow me here?"
Commander Han's face was gloomy.
He looked at the five people and sneered: "What do you mean by following? Huh, if Han hadn't been strolling around without anything to do today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have heard what they were talking about?"
The five people were embarrassed and confused.
Why is nothing going on again?
Weren't you carrying two packages just now, looking like you were in a hurry?
Why are you following me quietly now?
Everyone looked at Commander Han with puzzled faces, feeling that he was looking for trouble, so they had to threaten: "Commander Han, if you don't go and do things for the Queen, how can you follow us?"
"What do you mean by following you?"
Commander Han was also anxious. These people had just finished speaking ill of themselves, but now they were backing them. He grabbed the leader and said angrily: "If you don't speak clearly, be careful of Han."
The remaining four people saw this.
He quickly surrounded Commander Han and said angrily: "Let go! Don't think that because you are some kind of commander, we will be afraid of you."
"stop!"
The leader quickly scolded his subordinates and at the same time comforted Commander Han: "We saw you carrying two packages just now and thought you were a thief..."
He recounted the scene just now.
Commander Han's face became increasingly ugly.
Everyone looked at Commander Han's expression and realized something, and cold sweat began to break out from behind.
"You are idiots! Why don't you check your waistband?"
Commander Han cursed angrily and released the man.
The five people looked at each other and hurried towards their previous location.
President Han took out an exquisite whistle and blew it.
A sharp whistle pierced the silence.
…
Lin Cheng didn't know that his identity had been revealed.
He had been gone for a long time, and it wasn't until whistles sounded in his ears that he realized that he might have been recognized.
However, Lin Cheng was not panicked.
His figure was like a ghost, and he had already escaped before the Ouchi guards could form a circle around him.
Arriving outside the familiar bedroom.
Lin Cheng saw dozens of imperial guards gathered outside the princess's chamber.
They were watching everything around them vigilantly.
A young female official came out of the palace and walked towards the leader: "Sir, I wonder what happened?"
"It seems someone sneaked into the palace."
The Ouchi guard responded briefly.
The female officer nodded and quickly returned to the palace to report... Those who can sneak into the palace are definitely the best among masters.
Inside the palace.
Princess Yunyao sat upright and looked down at the remaining chess game, her mind concentrated, holding a black stone in her hand, but she was unable to make a move.
"Princess."
The female officer came to the table gently and whispered: "I asked just now, and the guard said someone broke into the palace."
"This is quite rare."
Yun Yao shook her head, put the black chips in her hand aside, suddenly looked at the female official, and said, "Please ask Lin Qian from Zhenjiang Mansion for me tomorrow."
"good."
The female officer nodded and stood aside.
Yunyao was no longer in the mood to play chess. She stood up and walked slowly in the hall, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Princess."
The female officer waited for a while and saw that the princess had not gone to bed yet, so she had to say: "It's getting late. It's time for you to rest. The hot bath has been prepared."
"good."
Yun Yao nodded and waved his hand: "I don't need you to wait on me anymore. Just go down. Remember, go early tomorrow morning!"
"good."
The female officer bent down to salute and slowly retreated.
Outside the palace.
Lin Cheng walked around to the back of the palace.
Under the cover of the night, he jumped lightly and quietly rolled into the palace.
