Baishou loses Shaohua

Chapter 74 Please enter the urn

At three o'clock in the evening, the drum sounded, and the common people closed their doors and windows. Only the guards patrolled the huge streets and alleys of Ancheng.These guards were in a small team of five, changing shifts every half an hour, and the spears in their hands shone coldly under the moonlight.

Ji Yinghan stood by the window on the second floor of Jiahe Tower, opened the window an inch, and looked out.Qin Xun, Xie Qinghong and others sat at the Eight Immortals Table in the center of the room and waited for Ji Yinghan's instructions.

Half an hour later, Ji Yinghan watched the guards of this team walking towards the gate of the palace. It was time for the shift change, and there was still half a cup of tea before the next team arrived here.Ji Yinghan turned around and nodded towards Qin Xun, Xie Qinghong and the others.

"Please remember, don't pester the patrolling guards on the road too much. Controlling the yamen and the palace gates is the key. The guards at the city gates should ask Zhenren Liu and Yang Shaoxia to send a signal to retreat immediately if the situation changes." Ji Yinghan ordered carefully.

"Master Ji, don't worry."

"Brother Ji, don't worry."

Qin Xun, Xie Qinghong and others nodded and walked out of the room.

Ji Yinghan watched from the upstairs that everyone left the Jiahe Tower and left in the predetermined direction. The martial arts practitioners who stayed in several inns next to the Jiahe Tower also left the inns and took to the streets to meet everyone. Converge and leave together.

There was a soft sound of closing the door behind him, Ji Yinghan turned around, and Chu Weiqing was already standing behind him.

"Uncle, we can leave in a quarter of an hour." Ji Yinghan said.

"En." Chu Weiqing responded, and sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals. "

Ji Yinghan then sat down opposite Chu Weiqing, a small lamp on the table was flickering with red flames quietly, Ji Yinghan felt upset when he didn't come, for a killer with many years of experience, this is not Not a good sign.

A quarter of an hour later, the noise from various palace gates and Li'an government offices broke the tranquility of the night.Chu Weiqing put down the teacup in her hand and jumped out of the window, followed by Ji Yinghan.Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the two performed lightness kung fu and headed towards the palace quietly.

The two arrived at the west side of the palace in no time. Ji Yinghan put his ear to the wall and heard the sound of guards running inside the high palace wall. His steps were a little messy, obviously he had just received an urgent order.Ji Yinghan nodded to Chu Weiqing, and the two of them sneaked along the wall towards the northwest corner.The northwest corner of the palace has been the location of the Lenggong since the previous dynasty. It is located in a remote place. The palace has always felt that this place is too sinister and few people come here. As time goes by, it becomes more desolate.

Hearing that there was no movement inside the wall, Ji Yinghan jumped lightly to hide his figure and leaned on the top of the wall. He watched carefully, and it was really dark and empty. He jumped down from the top of the wall and stepped onto the wall. ground, followed by Chu Weiqing and landed beside him.In order to hide their figures conveniently, both of them were dressed in black, and they were agile. After a while, they sneaked into Chaohua Palace avoiding the patrols of all parties by virtue of their familiarity with the inner courtyard of the palace.

The two of them leaned on the roof and watched for a while, and then lightly fell from the roof, left and right, and the guards outside the Chaohua Palace wall didn't know it.

"Uncle." Ji Yinghan frowned and lowered his voice, everything seemed to be going too smoothly tonight, but it seemed too abnormal.

Chu Weiqing glanced at him, apparently already understood what he was going to say: "The arrow is on the string."

Ji Yinghan nodded, and pushed open the door of the main hall with a very gentle movement.

The hall was quiet, the high hanging bright yellow curtains hung on the ground, looking a bit dim in the darkness, the even and gentle sound of breathing came from the dragon bed through layers of curtains.

The dagger in Ji Yinghan's hand slashed silently, and the curtains in front of him fell layer by layer under the feet of the two of them. After cutting off the last layer, the bright yellow bed curtain appeared in front of the two of them.On the long table on the right side of the bed, a pillar of tranquilizing incense was half-burned, the scarlet flame flickered alternately in the darkness, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.

Chu Weiqing narrowed her eyes slightly for a burst of murderous intent, she threw her sword at the bed, lifted the bed curtain and stabbed down.

"Ding!" There was a very sharp sound of weapons clashing, and the man on the dragon bed blocked Chu Weiqing's blade with a short knife. A carp jumped out of the bed stiffly.

This man covered his face with black clothes and trousers and a black cloth, and the two sharp short knives in his hands were none other than Ming.

The door of the main hall was pushed open again, Ji Yinghan turned around, Yu Chenglie was standing at the door of the main hall, behind him was the skilled coachman he had seen last time, it was Yu Chenglie's confidant Li Zixu .Yu Chenglie looked at Ji Yinghan calmly, as if everything had been expected.There were light footsteps on the roof above, and the outside of the hall must have been surrounded by groups.

"Squeak—" Ji Yinghan heard the sound of fireworks outside the palace in the distance.It was indifference, he must have noticed something was wrong and wanted to notify them to evacuate, but it was too late.

Ji Yinghan stepped back step by step, and stood together with Chu Weiqing and their backs. Ming was behind them, Yu Chenglie and Li Zixu were in front, and there were countless shadows and palace guards outside. , I really dare not take it lightly.

Before Ji Yinghan could use his internal strength to make a move, he heard Chu Weiqing's muffled groan behind him, and the sound of the long sword falling to the ground was extremely clear.Ji Yinghan was startled, no one made a move just now.He immediately turned around to support Chu Weiqing, followed by a dull pain in his chest, the blood around him seemed to stagnate for an instant, his legs went numb and he was no longer able to support his body.

On the long table not far away, the pillar of Anshenxiang was emitting misty green smoke, and the room was filled with that strange fragrance.

Before falling completely into a coma, Ji Yinghan felt a pair of hands hug him up.

When Ji Yinghan woke up, he was in a prison cell, the light was very dim, and it took him a while to get used to it before he could fully see the situation in the cell. He was the only one in the cell, and Chu Weiqing was not there.

They were sore, weak and tired, presumably they had been poisoned by some kind of medicine in the tranquilizing incense, once the internal energy was activated, they would have an attack.Ji Yinghan struggled to sit up on the bed, and the iron cuffs on his hands and feet jingled. He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest, slowly recalling the assassination.

From the day he knew Yu Chenglie's identity, he knew that he should not be underestimated, so he didn't dare to act rashly for so long until this opportunity appeared.He thought about it, this time the action was quite meticulous, all the steps were logical and there was nothing wrong with it, in order to ensure that everything was safe, he and Chu Weiqing did the strictest confidentiality work, the whole Weimen except him and Chu Weiqing , Mo Wei, and everyone else outside Liyu who guarded the base camp did not know the real purpose and goal until they acted.

It's not that he didn't think that he and Chu Weiqing would be discovered if they sneaked into the palace, so he asked Mowei to gather everyone in Weimen to ambush in every direction where they might escape. He also expected this action It's going to be a tough fight.But he never expected that the person on the dragon bed would be Ming. This was clearly a well-planned invitation to invite the king into the urn.

Just as he was thinking, the door of the prison was opened, and the sound seemed not too far away from his cell. Ji Yinghan heard a person's footsteps getting closer, and he already knew who it was.

The sound of a key unlocking came from outside the iron door, and then the heavy iron door was slowly pushed open. Yu Chenglie walked in with a palace lantern in one hand and a food box in the other.

Yu Chenglie put the food box and palace lantern in his hand on the small wooden table beside the bed, and then sat opposite Ji Yinghan.

Ji Yinghan opened his eyes, and Yu Chenglie's face felt warm under the warm yellow light of the palace lantern.

"Where is uncle?" Ji Yinghan thought it must be an illusion.

"In the cell elsewhere, I have already ordered, and I will not embarrass the master Chu for the time being." Yu Chenglie replied, his tone and demeanor were the same as before, as if he was just talking about a very ordinary thing.

Ji Yinghan thought he should say "thank you" to Yu Chenglie, but they were enemies, and he owed his situation to him, so he couldn't say it.

There was silence in the cell for a while.

"I think you must be hungry, so I brought some meals." Yu Chenglie got up to open the food box, and brought out the snacks and meals inside.

"It's Ah Xun, right?" Ji Yinghan ruled out all the conjectures, and in the end there was only this possibility that he didn't want to believe but could only believe.

Since it was not someone from Weimen who leaked the news, the only person who still knew about his and Chu Weiqing's assassination tonight was Qin Xun.And Qin Xun has been by his side since he went to rescue Bai Chuling, participating in all the decisions he made, and even making suggestions.

Yu Chenglie gently put the last bowl and chopsticks on the table, he said: "Yinghan, you seldom trust others, but you are honest and thorough with those you already trust."
