Chapter two hundred and sixty third night shadow

When Xiao Yao heard this, he understood Kublai Khan's intentions. It turned out that Kublai Khan had been conducting openly and secretly, so he knew very well about the military deployment of the Song Dynasty along the way. After arriving in Pingjiang Prefecture, he naturally began to carefully study and think about the way to crack the future if he led his troops to attack. During this thinking process, he gradually realized that the military deployment of the Song Dynasty was not as weak as he had known before.

Although when the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia joined forces to destroy the Jin Dynasty, the two sides agreed that the Southern Song Dynasty would be responsible for attacking Yanjing, but the Song Dynasty was defeated repeatedly. In the end, after Mongolia captured the other four capitals of the Jin Dynasty, the Song Dynasty took action before the war was resolved. It seemed that the Song Dynasty's combat power was very poor, but from what he learned along the way, the Song Dynasty was well-equipped, with sufficient food and grass, and its morale was not exhausted at all. The defenses were all important military territories. It can be seen everywhere that this army was not vulnerable. Although it had not fought, the military power it showed should not be underestimated.

He is humble and cautious in using troops, and never cares about underestimating the enemy. It was precisely because of this that Kublai Khan's previous belief that there was no need to investigate carefully. If he could attack in the future, he would definitely take over the hinterland of the Song Dynasty, such as Pingjiang Prefecture and Lin'an City, which he had planned in one go, would be included in the scope of his plan. Otherwise, if there is any mistake in the future, the loss will be directly his own strength. Therefore, Kublai Khan suddenly had a whim and wanted to go directly to the palace to explore the reality and reality. However, such shocking thoughts are exactly the true saying of "high-skilled and bold" since ancient times.

While the two were talking, Ubune had already taken Xiao Yao to the house where Kublai Khan was staying. Seeing Xiao Yao, Kublai Khan, who was originally frowning, smiled and immediately came up, held Xiao Yao's arm affectionately, and said, "Brother, where have you been going these days? I really want to kill my brother. Come, sit down and rest for a while, and I will tell you something later." As he said that, he poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Yao.

Seeing that Kublai Khan had treated him so much, Xiao Yao was very moved and immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Brother is so playful that he almost missed his brother's big deal. Please punish me!"

Kublai Khan smiled slightly, helped Xiao Yao up, and said, "Do you know everything? That's fine. This matter was originally something you had to do, but it was just a hurry and had not discussed it with you. Please don't behave like that."

As the saying goes, a scholar dies for his confidant, and a woman is to please him. Through this period of contact, Xiao Yao knew that Kublai Khan was indeed very humble and polite, and generous. In comparison, he was more like a humble gentleman taught by Confucianism, rather than a rough man who commanded the country on the grassland and could only bend his bow and shoot eagles. Therefore, he was already very impressed and knew that he was not accidental when he founded the "Yuan" dynasty in Chinese history. At this time, he saw Kublai Khan so much that he was so concerned about him. He not only poured water to comfort him personally, but also in his heart.

Touched, he immediately said, "What did you say about your elder brother? What kind of love is not worthy of your life and death for you? There is no need to say so many external words between us brothers. Brother, let's talk about your plans for the evening." Although Xiao Yao's words were numb, they were actually his true feelings. After all, although he did have some factors to use in Kublai Khan, but who can be ruthless without any vegetation? He is not really heartless and has no distinction between good and bad.

Kublai Khan said, "Brother, since we say that, we can accomplish great things. Brother, let's visit the palace tonight to avoid being confused and disgusted. We will not bring more people tonight. Only you, Lakshen, Nisgebamu and Wulihai will accompany you. We have five of us, so let's visit the Emperor of the Song Dynasty together."

The three people mentioned by Kublai Khan were the "Three Heroes of the Grassland". They were all very skilled in martial arts. This time, they came here to protect Kublai Khan. Although Xiao Yao had never entered the palace and had never heard anyone talk about what the palace looked like, he thought that Hong Qigong quietly slipped into the palace for the delicious food of the imperial kitchen, and stole the delicious food provided to the emperor every day. Not only did he eat it, but he was never discovered. So he felt that

Zhong thought: "Hong Qigong's martial arts skills are very powerful, and they are the best in the world. We are naturally inferior to us. But if we only talk about hiding our bodies, I will take Kublai Khan with the Lingbo Microsteps in the Wind and Brushing Willow Steps, and I think no one will find it. Although the martial arts skills of the three heroes in the grassland are worse than mine, there should be no difficulty in doing these things and will not be discovered by the guards of the chapel." As soon as I thought of this, I nodded and said, "Well, then act tonight!"

There was nothing to say during the day. After everyone was cleaned up, they quietly left Wang Shouqing's prefect's residence and rushed to Lin'an on a fast horse. Ye Ubuen stayed in Pingjiang Mansion to cover up the few people. Although there was a distance between the two places, they were as fast as flying, so they arrived at dusk. In order to cover up, the five people changed their clothes and disguised themselves. Xiao Yao was originally a Han Chinese, and unlike the Mongolians like Kublai Khan, who had obvious appearance characteristics, so everything was done by him. Wu Liehai was knowledgeable and had a little understanding of the art of disguise. At this time, he put on makeup one by one for several people and changed into Hanfu, the five people looked no different from those in the Central Plains.

After such a busy life, it was almost midnight. Kublai Khan saw that the city of Lin'an was silent and it was the best time to take action. He immediately jumped out of the window and headed towards the southern end of Lin'an City. There was the direction of the palace that had already been stepped on. The remaining four men came out one after another, and everyone was as shaped like the wind, silent as if it was a ghost under the night sky.

The Lin'an Palace in the Southern Song Dynasty was expanded on the basis of the original Hangzhou Prefecture of the Northern Song Dynasty, and was called Da Nei. Lin'an Da Nei is divided into five parts: Outer Dynasty, Inner Court, East Palace, Scholar's Academy, and Palace Houyuan. The outer court is located in the south and west, the inner court is northeast, the East Palace is located in the southeast, and the Scholar's Academy is located near the north gate, and the Palace Houyuan is located in the north, which is generally formed in the front dynasty and back sleeping pattern. The palace city is surrounded by the imperial city, the south gate of the imperial city is Lizheng Gate, the north gate is Hening Gate, the east gate is Donghua Gate, and the west gate is Xihua Gate. The palace city has the north and south palace gate and the north gate of the imperial city. Xiao Yao has already understood these lessons and has a clear idea at this time. He leads the way forward and silently heads towards Hening Gate.

The buildings outside the court include the Daqing Hall, the Chugong Hall, the Back Hall (also known as the Yanhe Hall), and the Duancheng Hall. The Daqing Hall is located in the Nangong Gate and is the venue for the Dacha meeting. The Chugong Hall is north of the west side of the Daqing Hall, the back hall is north of the Chugong Hall, and the Duancheng Hall is east of the rear hall. Among them, the Chugong Hall is the Changgong Hall. If the rain is often held, the rear hall will be changed. If there is a chance to be a part of the front and the day of the temple sacrifice, the rear hall will be controlled. The first stop that Kublai Khan plans to arrive is this Chugong Hall.
