On the stone stairway on the west side of Songhai City, Tianming, Shaoyu, and Shilan walked carefully in the shadows beside the wall and climbed down the steps.
On the empty road, there was no other sound except the wind, and even the footsteps of the three people were deliberately controlled by them.
Just when they passed an alley, there was a creaking sound in the silent night, which seemed to be the sound of a door opening.
This attracted the attention of the three little ones. Whoever opened the door in the middle of the night might have broken the chamber pot and wanted to come out to relieve themselves.
Out of curiosity, the three of them stacked themselves one on top of the other, and in a row, three heads slid out, and then they quietly poked their heads out from the alley entrance wall.
At this moment, the weather was also beautiful, the moon was bright and not blocked by clouds.
Under the bright white moonlight, three figures walked out of a house in the alley one after another, and then disappeared into the depths of the alley.
After the three little cats peeping by the wall saw these figures, they all held their breath and concentrated, not even daring to make a sound for fear of alarming the other party.
When no one could be seen in the alley, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they had successfully hidden themselves. They did not realize that in the dim night, people coming out of the house had glanced at their location.
The three of them retracted from the wall and squatted at the entrance of the alley. Tianming looked at the two friends and lowered his voice:
"The man in black robe just now...is that the big bad guy Wei Zhuang?"
Shao Yu nodded, "Probably, the exposed white hair is too conspicuous."
Shi Lan didn't interrupt. She didn't know who Wei Zhuang was. Anyway, according to Tianming, he should be an enemy.
"But..." Tianming scratched his head in confusion after receiving Shaoyu's affirmative answer, "It seems that the people coming out behind are Uncle Gu and Third Master, right?"
"Forget it Uncle Gu, why is Third Master getting involved with that guy Wei Zhuang?"
Shao Yu really answered Tianming's question:
"This is really not surprising."
"Tian Ming, you don't know that Third Master was born in the Korean aristocratic Zhang family, and his family has served as Prime Minister for five generations. He has also served as an official. If Korea had not been destroyed, he would probably be a dignified Prime Minister by now."
"As for Wei Zhuang, he once served as the general of South Korea and was an official in the same palace as the Third Master. There must be a friendship between the two."
"Ah..." Tian Ming hummed in confusion, and it was obvious that he didn't understand.
In fact, the relationship between Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang is very simple, but Tianming has no idea about Korea, the Zhang family, or being an official as a general, so naturally he is confused.
But at least he understood one thing - these two people had known each other a long time ago.
"Why do I feel like I know all these people from the previous generation..." After thinking about it for a while, Tianming couldn't help but complain.
Shao Yu understood this very well. He spread his hands and said, "It's normal. They were all outstanding figures of that generation, and each of them is a well-known figure in the world. Naturally, they are somewhat related."
"Okay..." Tian Ming curled his lips and reluctantly accepted this statement.
Shi Lan interjected at this time, "The third master of Xiaoshengxian Manor, your third master...has any dealings with the empire's national master?"
"Oh, yes, I didn't expect Shi Lan that you knew Uncle Gu." Tianming nodded, a little surprised and at the same time enthusiastically explained further, "I tell you, although Uncle Gu is a high-ranking official in the empire, he is a good man.
, he is very good to me and has saved our lives before!"
Although Shao Yu didn't have much goodwill toward Gu Xun, it was a fact that he saved his life in Loulan, so he nodded.
Seeing this, Shi Lan hesitated and asked further, "You mean, he... is a good person?"
When Tianming heard this, he waved his hand and confirmed, "Of course, you can't be wrong!"
As soon as Tianming said these words, a cold laughter suddenly came from behind the three of them.
"Hehehe..."
The sudden laughter startled the three of them, and they immediately turned around to look at the direction from which the sound came.
What immediately caught the eyes of the three of them was a figure that was short even for the teenagers like them.
Wearing a blue-purple star-patterned robe, a large pendant hanging on the back, and a strange pattern tattooed on his face, he is clearly the left guardian star soul of the Yin-Yang family.
………………
Songhai City, outside the courtyard wall of the General's Mansion.
Thief Zhi, who had been hiding in the grass with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
The time is almost up.
He stared in the direction of the courtyard wall without blinking, until two patrols of patrol soldiers passed by where he was staring, and the bandits finally moved.
Without making any noise, Robber Zhi disappeared directly from the hiding place. Only the slightly swaying grass blades proved that he had hidden here.
Then, as if a gust of wind blew by, the ghostly figure crossed the street in an instant, climbed over a wall several feet high, and in less than a blink of an eye, Thief Zhi officially entered the territory of the General's Mansion.
It can be said that the King of Thieves' abilities are indeed beyond doubt.
If an ordinary Qinggong master moves his body at such a fast speed, he will definitely make a loud noise, because of his size.
But Thief Zhi has his own unique trick, which suppresses all the noise and only brings a little breeze. It really feels like a wisp of breeze blowing through the whole person.
The two groups of patrolling soldiers just passed each other, and the distance between the backs of the closest soldiers was only an arm's width at most.
The rogue planter rushed past them without disturbing anyone, and the slightest bit of noise was ignored.
The wind was strong tonight, and the sound of the thieves' feet was easily covered up.
After climbing into the courtyard, Zhi Zhi immediately hid seamlessly in the flowers beside the wall, and then quickly glanced around the surrounding environment.
As he expected, the defense force in the hospital was at its weakest at this time.
In the empty square of the outer courtyard, two groups of patrolling soldiers were about to pass each other, and the sharpshooters on the surrounding towers were about to switch surveillance directions.
He couldn't see the sentry in the dark, but according to his previous inspection of the platoon, it should be at the right time for a shift change.
Seizing the opportunity again, Thief Zhi rushed out decisively, transformed into a shadow under the moonlight, and quietly touched the wall of the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion again.
On the wall of the inner courtyard, shadowy figures were constantly patrolling back and forth, holding torches in their hands.
The rogue planter clung to the wall, hiding in the shadows of the corner, staring upward, waiting for an opportunity to take advantage of it.
It can be seen that the protection of the inner courtyard has been further upgraded, with patrol soldiers all over the entire wall.
But after all, it was impossible for Meng Tian to mobilize thousands of people to directly surround the people in the inner courtyard. He could only arrange more patrols, and patrols would inevitably leave gaps.
Robber Zhi did not hesitate for too long and successfully broke through the inner courtyard wall again.
In this way, one level after another, the famous King of Thieves in the world successfully reached the vicinity of Qian Ji Tower step by step.
It was about the same speed as he expected. The infiltration process took more than a quarter of an hour, leaving him about one stick of incense in time to steal the Thousand Machines Copper Plate.
