He saw Master Duan and the dozen or so capable men in black, leaping high like light night cats.
Then he pulled the rope, tapped the outer wall of the city wall with his toes, and climbed onto the city wall...
On the city, Liu Zhi looked dumbfounded at the heads that suddenly popped up on the city wall.
I was really worried in my heart, how did these guys get here?
At this time, Dugu Kaiyuan saw the leader Duan Shizi, his legs were flexing and stretching, and he was flying into the air.
He reached out and gently opened a gap in the city wall bricks, continued to fly, and then stepped onto the female wall on the city wall.
When Dugu Kaiyuan came to his senses, all those ten people had already climbed onto the city wall.
He was left alone down there, dumbfounded, just like a lonely old man who wanted to hide in a corner from the wind and frost.
Liu Zhi on the city suppressed the shock in his heart and quickly waved to Dugu Kaiyuan.
This guy was just using his hands and feet to climb up. Nima, he didn't expect that Yang Liushou had such a large group of rangers under his command.
"These heroes were all recruited by the commander?" Liu Zhi waited for the time for Dugu to climb far away, looked at these knights with envy and asked Master Duan in a low voice.
Master Duan's expression was still dull and he shook his head rigidly. "No, they are all my disciples."
After saying this, he reached into his arms, took out a piece of sesame seed cake, bit into it, and started chewing it. Then, a group of soldiers from the Youtun Guards saw the disciples of Master Duan, and they all reached into their arms in unison.
They all took out the sesame cakes and started to squeak... The sound of grinding teeth instantly made all the soldiers of Youtun Guard shiver.
"..." Liu Zhi's face immediately darkened. This made him feel like a group of rat kings...
Master Duan saw the strange expressions of the soldiers of the Youtun Guards and gave a rare explanation.
"This is a way I teach them to relieve tension."
"Now, can you send someone to take us to the mansion where your empress is?"
#####
After two sticks of incense, Dugu Kaiyuan led him personally and carefully walked through more than ten streets and alleys before arriving near the house.
Dugu Kaiyuan hid on the street corner a hundred steps away and after taking a look, he lowered his voice and communicated with Duan Shizi.
"It's right here. It seems that the defenders should have gone to rest. There are not too many people..."
Master Duan carefully poked his head out, then raised his hand and waved behind him. The dozen or so people who had been squatting quietly against the wall quietly began to disperse, like silent civet cats, quietly moving towards
Approaching the house.
At the same time, people were quietly coming in and out of the houses where Youtun Guards lived. Soon, the soldiers woke up from their sleep and began to put on their helmets and inspect their weapons with the help of their companions.
More and more soldiers with well-equipped equipment carefully observed the situation outside.
From time to time, a group of soldiers on night watch would pass by. At this time, the officer in charge would give a signal to his companions in the courtyard, asking the brothers to act more lightly.
Time passed bit by bit, and Dugu drove away, watching helplessly as the dozen or so people silently approached the house.
Taking advantage of the break in patrolling, they all sneaked into the courtyard like civet cats.
The dead soldiers of the Yuwen clan outside the house seemed unaware and were still patrolling outside the house. Seeing this scene, Dugu Kaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, clenched his fists, and stepped back cautiously.
After Master Duan, who was as light as a feather, landed in the courtyard, he made a few gestures. Soon, more than a dozen of his extraordinary men spread out, carefully paying attention to everything around them.
This is just a two-entry house, perhaps out of reassurance that Queen Xiao is just an ordinary woman.
Therefore, except for a dozen eunuchs and palace maids, there was no one else in the courtyard.
Finally, all eyes were focused on the rooms in the center of the second courtyard, the only ones there that were still brightly lit.
Following Duan Shizi's gesture, the rest of the people hid quietly, four of them quietly hid behind the main entrance of the house, and the other two came to the back door of the house to guard.
The rest of the people jumped up to the roof to be on guard. Only Master Duan took off the mask from his face and walked to the closed door to listen attentively.
"My dear, stop reading. Reading at night can easily hurt your eyes." This was the unique voice of Eunuch Wang Zhong, who had had many interactions with his own son.
"Aijia is not sleepy yet, and I can't sleep anyway." Master Duan heard this answer again.
After thinking about it, Master Duan originally wanted to reach out and knock on the door, but finally withdrew his hand.
After a short while, a cat meowed into the house, followed by several frightened bird calls.
Empress Xiao, who had her head buried in a book, frowned and raised her head.
Wang Zhong, who was standing next to the desk, glanced outside the door. "I think it's a wild cat that came from nowhere and came here to run wild. You guys..."
Looking over, Wang Zhong sighed softly when he saw four trembling palace maids and three old eunuchs.
"Your Majesty, I'll go take a look..." As he spoke, Wang Zhong picked up a long stick placed in the room.
Those eunuchs would only take orders from the Yuwen brothers. These bastards were sent to serve the empress on the surface, but in fact they were used to monitor her every move.
"Wang Daban, be careful." Queen Xiao couldn't help but remind her.
Wang Zhong agreed, walked to the door, opened the door, and as soon as he stepped out of the room, he saw a man in black standing in front of him.
Putting a finger in front of his lips to signal silence, Wang Zhong almost didn't scream. Fortunately, he recognized this person at first sight.
His eyes widened immediately, looking in disbelief at this confidant Duan Shizi who had always been by Yang Qian's side.
Seeing Master Duan pointing at the door and making gestures, Wang Zhong looked inside the room with both surprise and joy, and suddenly he was relieved.
"What's wrong with Wang Daban?" Queen Xiao couldn't help but ask when she saw Wang Zhong standing at the door without moving for a long time.
"Your Majesty, everything is fine. It's just a wild cat and has run away." Wang Zhong spoke while gesturing towards Master Duan.
Master Duan understood and quietly disappeared into the darkness.
Suppressing his inner excitement, Wang Zhong turned around and glanced at the four maids and three eunuchs in the room.
"My dear, you are just a wild cat.
You guys, please step aside, I have something to say to the queen."
"Eunuch Wang Zhong, this is not very good. We are here to serve your Majesty on your Majesty's orders." One of the eunuchs was unhappy.
"I'm just going to say something to your Majesty. How can I still carry your Majesty on my back and run away from here?" Wang Zhong couldn't help but bulge his eyes.
"If I make the queen angry and complain a little, how can you bastards survive?"
"Don't forget that your Majesty is still very respectful when he sees your Majesty. How can he tolerate you like this?"
"..." The eunuch named the leader glanced at the look Queen Xiao cast and resigned helplessly.
