…
Wen Dabao wanted to stop it, but he couldn't, because Pingyang had decided. Fang Zhengzheng had no objection, and Yan Xiu and Nangong Mu also had no objection.
So…
The only thing he could do was to bite the bullet and follow behind.
However, thankfully, Pingyang did not blatantly go to the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace to set fire to the palace. Instead, he put on a black night suit and covered his face with a black gauze.
The exquisite figure can be considered a small achievement despite the constraints of the black night clothes.
Fang Zhengyi, Yan Xiu and Nangong Mu also put on night clothes, and everyone's face was also covered with a scarf, so it was not impossible to tell their true identity.
Wen Dabao was naturally the one lagging behind. At this time, he also showed off his nimble hands and feet. He wrapped his face and body tightly, and specially applied some black charcoal on his face, which was regarded as a disguise.
After a group of five people walked out of Pingyang Mansion, they went straight to the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace.
The Prince's Mansion in the East Palace is located not far from the palace, and Pingyang Mansion is right next to the palace, so in terms of distance, it's really not that far.
quickly…
The five people, led by Ping Yang, followed a secret path and arrived at a remote corner of the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace.
Under the moonlight, the five people scaled the wall one by one, jumped several times, and quietly entered a separate courtyard of the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace.
Everything went smoothly.
From this point of view, Pingyang really didn't brag much. Whether it was the choice of location to climb over the wall or the timing, he was familiar with the road.
"How about it? This princess said it was easy to get in, right?" Pingyang blinked his big clear eyes and showed off to Fang Zhengzheng and others behind him.
"Yeah." Fang Zhengzheng nodded.
However, Yan Xiu and Nangong Mu only looked at each other and did not speak.
As for Wen Dabao, he was covered in cold sweat now. Although his expression could not be seen, his eyes were constantly looking around and his whole body was trembling.
"Prince's Mansion in the East Palace, I... I really came in..." Wen Dabao was really scared. He had to be afraid. After all, if his father really knew about this, he would definitely be beaten to death.
"Which house should we burn?" Pingyang looked around. The current location was a separate courtyard in the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace. In terms of guarding, it was not too strict.
Moreover, there are fewer people coming and going.
As a separate courtyard, it is generally reserved for some diners or guests coming and going from the prince's residence. At other times, no one lives here.
"If there's no one here, just burn it down. Besides, it's easy to go out after it's burned down." Fang Zheng pointed to a small two-story attic not far away that had no lights.
"Okay, okay, let's burn this place, and leave as soon as it's done!" Upon hearing Fang Zhengzheng's suggestion, Wen Dabao immediately nodded in agreement.
"Burn this place? Isn't it too easy?" Pingyang blinked his eyes, seeming a little unhappy: "I finally got in here, and it's boring to just burn it and leave!"
"Your Highness, if there is no burning, it is good to burn this place. The most important thing is that we can run away immediately after burning without being discovered. This is the best!" Wen Dabao immediately advised.
"Will this princess be afraid of being discovered?" Pingyang asked unhappily.
"Of course Her Royal Highness is not afraid, but, but..." Wen Dabao wanted to say that I was afraid, but when he saw the light in Pingyang's eyes, he took it back.
"How about we find a house between the other courtyard and the middle courtyard and burn it." Nangong Mu, who had been silent all this time, suggested now.
"Okay, then just listen to Nangong Mu and find a house to burn after leaving the other courtyard!" Although Pingyang was still a little unhappy, he finally chose to compromise.
However…
Just at this time.
A voice also sounded from a hidden corner in the distance.
"Who?! Dare to be good at..."
The voice wasn't too loud, but it was extremely cold and stern.
Wen Dabao's body shook violently. Of course he understood the meaning of this sound. It was obvious that they had been discovered.
The Prince's Mansion in the East Palace!
How tightly guarded are they? !
Even though this place was just a separate courtyard, there were still a lot of hidden sentries set up, and when the five people were discussing in low voices, they were finally discovered.
However, the sentence behind the voice was not finished.
Because, just as the sound started to sound, Nangong Mu moved and rushed directly to the corner. He was very fast and reached the corner in just an instant.
Then, there was a click.
The sound suddenly disappeared without a trace.
It has to be said that Nangong Mu's movements were clean and neat, without any tricks. Then, a body wearing the armor and clothes of a guard of the Prince's Palace in the East Palace was dragged out.
"It's okay." Nangong Mu pointed to the unconscious guard on the ground, his voice was calm, as if he had never experienced any fighting at all.
However, Wen Dabao was already confused.
Is this okay? !
The five of us were discovered just after entering the other courtyard. If we took a few more steps inside, wouldn't we be surrounded and beaten
"Your Highness Princess, we..." Wen Dabao was about to cry.
"Let's go." Pingyang looked up as if he didn't hear Wen Dabao's cry at all, and walked directly towards the exit of the other courtyard.
"Master Fang..." Wen Dabao looked at Pingyang walking over, and turned his eyes to Fang Zhengyi beside him with some unwillingness to give up, full of begging.
"Don't worry, I'm here, everything will be fine." Fang Zhengzheng gave Wen Dabao a rare comfort.
But Dabao's heart trembled more and more as he listened. He really wanted to say that it was because of you that everything happened, okay? When the fight breaks out, where can you run
Wen Dabao clearly remembered that when he climbed over the wall just now, Fang Zhengzheng was the slowest among the five people. To be more precise, he "climbed" over.
But even so, he still didn't dare to say these words.
Very frustrated and helpless.
What's even more helpless is that, knowing this, he still has to follow Pingyang, Fang Zhengheng and others closely, without even the slightest escape route.
…
The Prince's Mansion in the East Palace is where the princes of the Great Xia Dynasty lived.
Naturally, it was not small. Even though it was just a villa, it still took the five people who were walking in the dark a full quarter of an hour to reach the door of the villa.
While walking to the entrance of the other courtyard, Nangong Mu and Yan Xiu each took action to eliminate two secret sentries hidden in the corners.
Both men's movements were equally swift.
However, Wen Dabao's face was extremely pale. Even though his face was painted with black charcoal, he still couldn't hide the fear in his heart, and the clothes on his body were completely soaked.
Pingyang walked a little crookedly because he drank too much, but Wen Dabao walked more crookedly than Pingyang because his legs were really weak.
After leaving the courtyard, the lights outside became much brighter.
Moreover, the complicated paths were patrolled back and forth by guards from the Prince's Palace wearing bright armor from time to time. Teams of guards held torches in their hands.
"It's so fun!" Pingyang looked at the groups of guards patrolling back and forth, his eyes flashing with light, and he looked extremely excited.
"Fun? Yes, it's really fun..." Wen Dabao was very depressed. Of course it was fun, and it would make your heart beat out.
"Hey, shameless guy, let's play something more exciting. Didn't you always laugh at me before that I can't beat you? This time, I will let you see what strength is. How do you like it? Do you dare to challenge me? What?" Pingyang ignored Wen Dabao and looked at Fang Zhengyi with a provocative look.
"Still playing?!" Wen Dabao really cried, with tears streaming down his eyes.
However, Fang Zhengzheng didn't mean to object, he just asked casually.
"Compared to what?"
"It's very simple. Let's see who can get it first!" Pingyang stretched out his hand and pointed to a dark attic in the distance.
It was a house without any lights.
It stands in the distance and is surrounded by several tall ancient trees. Compared with other houses around it, it looks obviously much more mysterious.
When Pingyang pointed at the attic, Yan Xiu and Nangong Mu quickly understood that Pingyang probably wanted to order that attic.
An attic without lights was the best target. After all, setting the attic of the Prince's Palace in the East Palace on fire was nothing to her.
However, once people are killed, it is no longer the original intention of the game.
Although Pingyang is willful, he is still very particular about this.
But Wen Dabao didn't think so. He would rather find a house with lights and light a fire, because that house was too far away, so far that it made his heart tremble.
"Okay, I'll let you go first." Fang Zhengzheng looked at the attic, but he didn't think too much and just nodded casually.
"Hahaha... The princess will take the first step!" Upon hearing this, Pingyang had no intention of being polite to Fang Zhengzheng. He flashed his body and moved toward the attic against the grass on the roadside.
Fang Zhengzheng looked at Pingyang who was running past quickly, but he didn't mean to catch up too much. Instead, he turned to look at Yan Xiu and Nangong Mu.
"I guess once a fire breaks out in the Prince's Mansion, it will inevitably cause panic, so we must leave a few people here to guard our retreat." Fang Zheng pointed to the other courtyard behind Yan Xiu and Nangong Mu.
"Yes, we must leave a way out!" When Wen Dabao heard this, he immediately agreed.
When Yan Xiu and Nangong Mu heard this, they also looked at each other. Judging from their eyes, both of them seemed to have the intention of following Fang Zhengzheng.
"Yan Xiu, your Shura Dao is too attention-grabbing, so it would be better for me to follow you!" Nangong Mu suggested before Yan Xiu could speak.
"Okay." Yan Xiu nodded after thinking for a while.
"Then it's settled, Nangong Mu, you must protect Pingyang and never let her get hurt." Fang Zhengzheng also nodded after hearing this.
"Don't worry, I understand." Nangong Mu did not argue, but nodded directly.
"What do you mean? Aren't you the one who should be protected the most?" Wen Dabao didn't quite understand why Fang Zhengzheng asked Nangong Mu to protect Pingyang.
And, most importantly, listen to what Fang Zheng said...
It seems that there is still a possibility of not being together with Pingyang!
What does he want to do
Just as he was thinking this, Fang Zhengzheng finally moved, but the direction was not towards the attic in Pingyang, but towards another deeper location.
“Fang…”
Just as Wen Dabao was about to speak, he saw Yan Xiu looking over. The cold look in his eyes made Wen Dabao swallow the words that came to his mouth.
"We'll stay here." Yan Xiu's cold voice sounded.
"Okay." Wen Dabao nodded subconsciously. When he came back to his senses and looked at Fang Zhengyi again, he found that Fang Zhengyi had completely disappeared.
Why did you suddenly disappear
Where have you gone
Wen Dabao was a little confused.
At this moment, Nangong Mu also moved, like a swimming dragon, lying on the ground, chasing in the direction of Pingyang like a black cheetah.
At this moment, some different thoughts finally came into Wen Dabao's mind.
"You, are you..."
"Fang Zhengzheng will never do something without a reason, and it is such a dangerous thing." Yan Xiu answered directly without waiting for Wen Dabao to finish his words.
Wen Dabao didn't speak anymore, because now he was stunned, looking at the groups of Prince's Palace guards holding torches flashing past in the distance, and he couldn't react at all.
"Then... Young Master Fang, is it really all right?" After an unknown amount of time, Wen Dabao finally understood and asked.
Yan Xiu did not answer Wen Dabao this time. He just stood quietly and looked at an attic in the distance that was obviously more heavily guarded than other places.
And at this moment...
A flame also lit up in the dark night. Different from the flames on the torches in the hands of other guards, this flame became as fierce as a prairie fire after it lit up.
Red flames soared into the sky, like dragons rising out of the sea.
"call!"
The entire East Palace Prince's Mansion was illuminated by this flame, and red light fell on countless attics and on the faces of countless patrolling guards.
The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s almost dusk.
This is a sentence describing the sunset, and the beauty of the sunset is so beautiful that half of the sky is reflected in red. And now, such a sunset is rising in the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace.
Because half of the sky was also illuminated red.
Along with the red light, there was also a searing wave of air, rolling and rushing towards the surroundings.
Countless guards looked at the "sunset" that suddenly rose, completely stunned on the spot, and did not react for a long time. Beside those guards, there were many maids and busy servants in the prince's palace.
No one wanted to understand, they just stared closely at the sudden fire that rose into the sky, their mouths wide open, their faces full of disbelief.
Until, an extremely shocked and horrified voice sounded.
"It's on fire!" (To be continued.)
