Liu Ziguang ran along the palace wall. The wall covered with glazed tiles and the rain made it extremely slippery. He had to carefully control his body balance. The colleague in front had disappeared, but Liu Ziguang had been brought to the harem.
The palace was extremely quiet late at night. Rain-proof lanterns were hung under the eaves. The night guard, the inner warrior, wore a raincoat and carried a lantern. He walked slowly in the drizzle. His sword, scabbard and legs were exposed from under the raincoat.
The nail plates on his lower body were rubbing together, making a thin sound as he stepped forward.
Liu Ziguang knew that in addition to these patrolling military eunuchs, there were also masters hiding in many hidden corners. Again, the palace was not the house of a rural landlord and an old man. The people who cared for the house and the courtyard were all top masters.
It will be difficult to get out if you are not careful.
Fortunately, the emperor's intelligence indicated the location of the secret sentry. Liu Ziguang climbed down the palace wall and hid in the corner, avoiding the patrols and secret sentry, and moved towards Kunning Palace.
The building of the harem is not as grand as the previous palace, and there is no huge square. The current location is the West Sixth Palace. The West Sixth Palace, composed of trees, walls, and small courtyards, is the Queen Mother's bedroom. It is the most heavily guarded, and Liu Ziguang is not there.
He was about to go to the Queen Mother's pillow to touch the jewelry box, but he wasn't brave enough yet.
The target was Kunning Palace between the East Sixth Palace and the West Sixth Palace, where the Queen Mother worked. Every day after leaving the court, the Queen Mother summoned the civil and military ministers here to review memorials. The Ming Dynasty's edict was not stamped with the Queen Mother's seal and
The emperor's jade seal has no legal effect. Of course, the emperor's power is temporarily delegated to Jiu Qiansui. Therefore, Kunning Palace is equivalent to the Queen Mother's study. Queen Mother Li, who came from a wealthy family, has been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and is especially good at calligraphy and calligraphy.
Paintings, so there are many precious calligraphy and paintings hanging in Kunning Palace, as well as some pleasing baubles, such as emerald watermelons, East China Sea luminous pearls, etc., which are all priceless treasures.
Carefully walking through the West Sixth Palace, he came to Kunning Palace, which is a relatively large palace located behind the Qianqing Palace and the Provincial Gong Palace. Liu Ziguang used the cover of the handrails and pillars on the steps to sneak to the side entrance of the palace. According to the intelligence,
There are three maids on duty in Kunning Palace. The side door for them to enter and exit is bolted from the inside. As long as the door is unlatched, they can go in and take whatever they want. There is no infrared or body temperature alarm system here, not even ordinary institutions.
No, the famous paintings are hung on the wall, and the treasures are placed on the ancient shelves. As long as the palace maid is not disturbed, everything is very simple.
Liu Ziguang took out his short knife, inserted it into the crack of the door, and looked for the position of the door latch. It was still raining. He didn't know where Li Lianying, the eunuch master responsible for the security of the inner court, was resting. It was said that this person was a top master who was adopted by the Queen Mother since he was a child.
He was skilled in martial arts and was promoted to the position of admiral by the Queen Mother. It was his existence that ensured that Huang Jinrong did not dare to use force rashly against the Queen Mother.
"You must have practiced the Sunflower Book, right? Hurry up and get in. If he catches you, you will be in trouble." Liu Ziguang thought to himself. The short knife slid downwards, hit the door latch, and moved it bit by bit.
Time passes so slowly. Why are the lanterns of Kunning Palace so bright? Why are the door bolts of Kunning Palace so long? There is finally movement. It seems that the door bolt has been opened. Liu Ziguang gently pushes the side door. The well-maintained door shaft is not there.
There was no sound, only a crack was opened, Liu Ziguang quickly got into the Kunning Palace, turned around and closed the door, not daring to make any noise.
The three maids slept in the Xinuang Pavilion. Rainy nights were the most suitable for sleeping. They breathed evenly in the warm quilt, which sounded like they were sleeping soundly. The treasures were all placed in the Dongnuang Pavilion. Liu Ziguang tiptoed over and saw the crystal-inlaid windows.
The velvet curtains hanging on the wall prevented outside light from penetrating. With his extraordinary eyesight, Liu Ziguang saw four calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, two of which were long scrolls of ancient paintings. In the first picture, the god will clear the way and press down.
There is a team; the big deity with backlight on his head is in the center; other male and female deities hold banners, flags, umbrellas, tributes, musical instruments, etc., surrounding the big deity and marching from right to left, which is like a fairyland with wind and floating clouds. This is
The painting must be valuable. The second painting is four meters long, with many birds perched on the branches. It is so long, so it must be valuable. Take them all away!
He gently took off the long scroll, rolled it into a roll, and put it into his backpack. He looked at the two words again. One was a strange and flying cursive script with connected words, and the other was a short, concise, elegant and natural cursive script. There was no time to read the inscription.
All swept away, Liu Ziguang believed in the Queen Mother's vision, hanging in Kunning Palace to observe at any time what it meant, it was so admirable that he couldn't put it down, it was definitely the work of a famous artist!
The four calligraphy and paintings were stuffed into the backpack. Looking at the ancient art rack, there were many handicrafts and cultural relics elegantly displayed. Liu Ziguang, the snitch, did not have the good attitude to appreciate the stolen goods at the owner's house, and did not look carefully. He stuffed them all into the backpack.
When he was stuffing the last small incense burner, he suddenly heard the sleeping palace maid across the room let out a lazy yawn. Oops, someone got up. Liu Ziguang immediately petrified and held the handle of the knife in his hand. Don't force me to kill someone, cute.
Sister palace maid, go and pee obediently, and don't come to Dongnuan Pavilion to look around blindly.
There was a sound of Xixi undressing, and then the sound of strong water hitting a wooden barrel. What was the little girl doing drinking so much tea? It made me extremely nervous. Liu Ziguang remained in the petrified state, urging the palace maid in his heart to quickly go to bed and continue working.
It was your erotic dream, but the palace maid seemed to know what he was thinking. She put on her trousers, pulled on her slippers, and actually walked over to the Dongnuan Pavilion.
"Liu Yan, what are you doing?" A palace maid on the bed asked drowsily, half asleep and half awake.
"See if the windows are closed tightly. If rainwater comes in, we can't afford it. The Queen Mother said that those calligraphy and paintings cannot see moisture." Liu Yan said as she walked over, Liu Ziguang held his breath, and the other
He held the drawstring of his sleeve arrow with his palm. In order not to be discovered, he had no choice but to kill the three innocent maids in the palace.
The palace maid got closer and closer, and Liu Ziguang became more and more concentrated. Killing innocent people in the dark night is different from fighting in a war in broad daylight. It requires a more cruel will. Just as Liu Yan opened the curtain of Dongnuang Pavilion, outside
Suddenly there was a bright light of fire, followed by a cry of death.
Liu Yan retracted her hand holding the door curtain and said to the maid on the bed, "Listen, there is a snitch." The maid on the bed immediately became excited and her voice became much more sober: "Ah, the snitch has finally been discovered, go and have a look."
Then he pushed another maid awake, and the three of them went to the window, opened the curtains, and looked outside.
Liu Ziguang breathed a sigh of relief, put away his dagger, and slipped out of Dongnuang Pavilion in the opposite direction while the three of them were watching the fun.
Outside, hundreds of armed eunuchs holding torches and weapons were swarming towards us. At the front was a masked man in colorful clothes. His black and white and yellow clothes had the charm of Liu Ziguang's urban camouflage uniform. It was the man who brought Liu Ziguang there.
The guide I brought into the palace. It turned out to be your brother Lu Feng. I have to thank you for helping me lead the officers and soldiers away. Liu Ziguang thought with gloating. He jumped up to the eaves, and a pearl inverted roller blind was hung under the eaves. He observed
The situation outside.
The man in colorful clothes was truly a snitch. He ran, jumped, and turned around like a fox being chased by hounds. His speed was astonishing. Although there were many warriors behind him, they opened a big net to capture him.
The defenders at the north gate have been alerted. The torches are bright and the weapons are dazzling. A large number of people are pouring out from the duty room. The city wall is immediately lined with soldiers from the Yulin Guards. Even a bird may not be able to get out.
The man in colorful clothes was surrounded by eunuchs. Nearly a hundred Zhuge crossbows were pointed at him. A eunuch who looked like a leader raised his right hand, apparently giving the order to kill him on the spot.
Without further ado, Liu Ziguang didn't wait to see the good show, tightened his backpack tightly, dropped it to the ground silently, and prepared to leave while everyone's attention was focused on the north gate.
Just when his feet landed on the ground, Kunning Palace let out a shrill scream, like a comet piercing the night sky. The decibel level was so high that some of the glass products in the palace were shattered. Everyone's eyes were on
He was attracted to Kunning Palace. Since Kunning Palace is the northernmost palace in the harem, Liu Ziguang, who had just landed, was exposed to the attention of all the eunuchs.
Neither early nor late, but at this moment, the palace maid discovered the theft.
The eunuchs were a little dazed, why did another snitch come out wearing the same clothes? When they turned around and looked at the man in the circle, he had disappeared. Taking advantage of the eunuchs' dazed moment, the man in colorful clothes jumped up and stepped on everyone's heads towards them.
When Liu Ziguang came towards them, the eunuchs were in chaos. Zhuge's crossbow fired randomly, but instead of hurting the men in colorful clothes, he shot several of his own men to death.
If he didn't run now, or wait until later, Liu Ziguang turned around and ran straight to the west. This was an emergency escape plan that he had studied in advance. He went all the way west and then turned south, jumping directly from a roof ridge of the inner palace's warehouses, from
Go west to the north gate and exit Xi'an Gate to the south to the Ministry of Industry Wood Factory. There are no military camps along the way and it is easy to get rid of the pursuers.
The running speed of the man in colorful clothes was comparable to that of Liu Xiang. The eunuchs were once again left behind by him. A strange scene was staged in the palace. In the vast rain, two thieves in colorful clothes were running desperately one after the other.
, followed closely by a group of armed eunuchs holding torches.
