The moon is at its zenith!
The sound of city-wide martial law bells rang out from the Imperial City. Tiny lights emanated from the Imperial City and the Imperial Guards camp, and in an instant they gathered into a long running dragon, shining brightly in the divine capital under the night sky.
When Li Duozuo, the commander of the imperial guards, heard the news that Wu Yan had been assassinated, he was immediately frightened out of his wits. He immediately gathered all the elite troops in the palace and followed Li Hao to the Hunting Palace!
At this moment, several black figures were hiding quietly on the Zhengming Yingtian Gate of the palace city, leaning against the gate tower and quietly watching the imperial cavalry who were leaving the palace to defend the king.
Young Master Xiaoyan was the first to laugh and said, "Look! Our chance has come!"
Ouyang Feng shook his head and frowned, "The South Palace is different from the North Palace, especially the Imperial Study. This place is the secret place of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The security is very strict, which is rare in the world. Even if Li Duozuo leads the imperial army out of the city to defend the king, we have no way to break in safely!"
After hearing this, Changshengguo on the side waved his arm from the gate tower and pointed far in the direction of the imperial study. He saw that there was a guard post every ten steps and a sentry every twenty steps in the entire Zhenguan Hall. The main roads and exits were heavily guarded. The various checkpoints and passages outside the hall wall were guarded by heavy troops sent by Tang Jian. With such a strong defense lineup, it was hard to say that there was a certainty of success in sneaking in.
"Hehe!" Gongzi Xiaoyan suddenly narrowed his eyes, looked at Xue Qingcheng beside him, and said: "Don't forget, we have a famous ninja in Japan here! With my disciple Huajian, we can definitely sneak in! But I'll have to trouble Brother Changshengguo, Brother Ouyang and Brother Jin to keep watch for us outside the Guanfeng Palace!"
Jin Xiucheng didn't care much about it, and asked anxiously: "I only care about how to divide the profits if you can really steal ten volumes of "Heavenly Demon Strategy"?"
"Oh?" Young Master Xiaoyan smiled slyly and said meaningfully, "Then I wonder how Brother Jin wants to divide the bill?"
"I want the "Dao Heart Planting Demon Method"!"
Xue Qingcheng snorted coldly upon hearing this, showing her extreme dissatisfaction! Although there are ten volumes of "Heavenly Demon Strategy", except for "Purple Blood Great Method", all the other volumes added together are not as good as the "Dao Heart Demon Planting Great Method". As soon as Jin Xiucheng opened his mouth, he asked for this "Dao Heart Demon Planting Great Method", which immediately made the atmosphere awkward.
Fortunately, Changshengguo laughed and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Let's talk about dividing the spoils after we take out the Heavenly Demon Strategy and leave Luoyang City and reach a safe place! It's almost time, Xue Qingcheng and Young Master Xiaoyan, you should go and come back quickly! We will meet you here!"
"Let's do as Brother Changshengguo says!" Young Master Xiaoyan bowed, then turned around and jumped into the endless darkness with Xue Qingcheng!
Xue Qingcheng was born in an Iga ninja family. In addition to her excellent Qinggong skills, she was also unique in the martial arts world in terms of concealing her breath and hiding her traces. But what was even more surprising was that Gongzi Xiaoyan was also very skilled in this aspect! The two of them sank into the darkness, just like two stones dropped into the sea, without causing any waves, and completely blending into the darkness!
The two of them flew silently along the palace wall without alerting the soldiers patrolling the palace.
When they reached the outside of the imperial study, the two stopped on a palace eave not far away, looked around, and when they saw an opportunity to change shifts, they went straight into the imperial study.
As soon as she entered the imperial study, Xue Qingcheng quickly pulled off the veil covering her face and said, "It seems that you, the heir of Hua Jian, are really the best at climbing over walls and jumping into houses! You must have visited many girls' boudoirs, right?"
"Hehe!" Young Master Xiaoyan chuckled twice and said, "At least it has to be a beauty like Miss Qingcheng who is as beautiful as a fairy in the sky, so that I can have a look at her in my boudoir!"
Xue Qingcheng raised her eyebrows and said in a cold voice: "Scoundrel! Find "The Devil's Strategy" quickly!" After that, the two of them immediately rushed into the imperial study and kept looking through the whereabouts of "The Devil's Strategy"!
"You thieves, you broke into the Imperial Palace with the intention of stealing the Heavenly Demon Strategy. But with me here, you won't succeed!" Suddenly, a fat eunuch with a bloated body walked out from the darkness behind the imperial study.
Gongzi Xiaoyan and Xue Qingcheng were both horrified. To practice this kind of skill of concealing one's breath and hiding one's appearance, one must first have the ability to sense. To avoid the eyes and ears of others, one must first have a keen sense of hearing! And masters of hiding one's appearance like the two of them are also first-class in the world in terms of perception, but when the two of them sneaked into the imperial study, they did not have the breath of the fat eunuch at all, which made people feel terrified.
Young Master Xiaoyan and Xue Qingcheng looked at each other immediately, and the two long swords flew towards the fat eunuch from the left and right like two lightning bolts. The fat eunuch raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing an elusive smile, and flicked his sleeves to block the two people's direct attacks on his chest.
Although the fat eunuch was shocked and retreated half a step, he calmly rejected the attacks of the two men. Then, while the two men were catching their breath, he used his hands to launch different techniques and attacks, attacking them like two mighty rivers.
With one hand, he performed the mysterious 72 Moves of the Great Heavenly Demon Hand, and with these mysterious moves, he suppressed Young Master Xiaoyan who had abandoned his fan and followed the sword; with the other hand, he used his sleeves instead of a sword, and his magic power turned the sleeves into a sword that could split gold and stone, and with all his Heavenly Demon Sword skills, he restrained Xue Qingcheng's sword moves!
Fighting one against two, the fat eunuch actually firmly suppressed Young Master Xiaoyan and Xue Qingcheng. His magic skills are truly unfathomable!
After fighting for twenty or thirty moves, the fat eunuch suddenly changed his tactics. His sleeves were supported by the strong energy like sharp blades. The two blades attacked together to produce an extremely sharp conical hurricane column. The terrifying vortex of blade energy suddenly blasted towards the two of them!
Xue Qingcheng was horrified, she never expected that this fat eunuch could perform such a terrifying move. Although the move was not as sophisticated as her own Blowing Snow Swordsmanship, but combined with the fat eunuch's profound magic skills, she was afraid that she would definitely not be able to escape this move!
Suddenly, Young Master Xiaoyan moved, and a sound of wind blew up!
With a single palm strike, a burst of energy that was a mixture of yin and yang, life and death, suddenly struck out, followed by dozens of palm strikes in succession like an endless stream of the Yangtze River. Each palm strike was so light that it seemed as if no strength was used at all, and there was no forward impact force at all. Instead, there was a backward suction force.
This strange and inexplicable palm force turned the fat eunuch's thundering attack into nothingness in an instant. It was truly a very clever response!
As soon as this move was performed, the three people suddenly staggered and stood on both sides of the imperial study. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became stagnant.
Suddenly, a faint sound seemed to be heard coming from the house, and the soldier standing guard outside the hall actually walked towards the direction of the imperial study, as if preparing to check the situation inside the house!
Oops!
Xue Qingcheng immediately realized that something was wrong. With a powerful enemy like the fat eunuch in front of them, plus hundreds of elite soldiers outside the palace, she was afraid that this time she and Young Master Xiaoyan would not be able to escape even if they had wings!
At this time, Gongzi Xiaoyan suddenly patted Xue Qingcheng's shoulder gently, and shook his head at her with a smile on his face, as if to indicate that she didn't need to panic, everything was under control? (To be continued)
