Mu Yingchen's steps were light and she climbed onto the high wall in an instant.
Against the background of the night clothes, the small figure looked like a black cat.
"Little Shadow"
"No matter whether this trip succeeds or not, your safety comes first."
Muchuan looked at the girl on the wall with complex eyes and said: "If anything unexpected happens, retreat immediately."
Mu Yingchen didn't say anything, or even nodded, and jumped directly into the palace.
From the beginning to the end, Mu Yingchen did not make even the slightest sound.
Recalling Mu Yingchen's emotionless eyes, Muchuan always had a bad feeling.
This little girl probably didn't listen to what she said.
But even if Muchuan catches up now, it will be of no use.
Muchuan could only pray that no accident would happen.
It's not that Muchuan is worried that the stage mission will not be completed, nor is it that he feels sorry for the embryo of a top assassin.
After this period of getting along, Muchuan has already treated Mu Yingchen like a daughter, and he does not want anything to happen to Mu Yingchen.
Muchuan has already made his decision. If Mu Yingchen is really exposed, he will rush in immediately, even at the cost of becoming the enemy of the entire Silla.
As for now, we can only wait and see how things develop.
The palace tonight is no different from before.
As the most important place in the Silla Kingdom, the defense measures here are among the best in the country. There are guards patrolling almost every corner, and not even a fly can fly in.
However, in the glow of torches, a ghostly figure was moving quickly on the roof.
"who?"
Suddenly, there was a loud shouting from somewhere on the roof.
In an instant, countless eyes were directed at the target.
Even on the roof, there are a large number of sharpshooters crouching, which can be described as a dragnet-like defense.
All everyone could see was a black cat lazily licking its paws.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
No one paid much attention to this black cat.
It must have been a pet owned by one of the princesses that escaped for a stroll.
There are many creatures like cats in the palace.
The marksmen were hiding again, and the patrolling guards were moving around again.
Without anyone noticing, a small figure landed behind a sharpshooter.
The marksman was observing the front with all his concentration, but suddenly he noticed a severe chill behind him.
Before he could turn around, a delicate dagger had already been thrust into his throat.
Before dying, the sharpshooter's eyes widened and he stared in disbelief at the small figure in front of him.
He never imagined that the assassin who killed him was just a child.
Since the marksman was already lying on the roof, the body fell to the ground without causing any movement.
Mu Yingchen slowly pulled out the dagger and wiped it clean on the body.
Those emotionless eyes scanned the rooftop opposite.
Just when everyone was attracted by the black cat, Mu Yingchen memorized the locations of all the sharpshooters.
Mu Yingchen knew very well that if he wanted to reach the palace, he could not completely avoid the sight of these sharpshooters.
Putting the dagger into his sleeve, Mu Yingchen disappeared into the darkness again.
People kept dying silently, but no one noticed it.
Deep inside the palace, where the king of Silla rested.
At this moment, a large number of guards were standing guard at various entrances and exits, and there were also a large number of sharpshooters ambushed on the roof.
There are also a large number of guards patrolling within a hundred meters of the palace.
Because the King of Silla was assassinated by a rebel party in his early years, he almost lost half his life.
Therefore, when it comes to his own safety, the King of Silla has an obsession that far exceeds that of others.
In fact, even the Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty was inferior to this level of defense.
In the palace, the King of Silla was holding his young and beautiful concubine, snoring loudly.
The King of Silla never thought that tonight would be his last night.
Not only the King of Silla, but probably the entire Kingdom of Silla could not imagine that the old King of Silla, who had ruled for a long time, would die tonight.
Amidst the bright lights, a small figure stood on the top of a tree.
His emotionless eyes were scanning everyone present.
Although this look was scary, it didn't attract anyone's attention.
Perhaps the cold gaze will send chills down your back, and the murderous gaze will make you shudder.
But the emotionless eyes were as if they didn't exist.
Because of this, these guards, who were the most elite force in Silla, were completely unaware of Mu Yingchen.
After observing for a while, Mu Yingchen frowned slightly.
This was a move she learned from Muchuan. She always saw Muchuan frowning, and over time she also learned it.
Mu Yingchen knew very well that with the strength of the guards here, she had no chance of going deep.
If his whereabouts are exposed, he will probably be shot as a hedgehog immediately.
what to do?
Mu Yingchen felt impatient for the first time.
This was the first task given to her by her master. If she couldn't even do this little thing, how could she have the dignity to stay in front of her master and eat and drink?
If others knew what Mu Yingchen was thinking, they would all be stunned.
Is it actually a trivial matter to assassinate the king of a country?
"The king is awake and wants to have a midnight snack."
At this time, a guard suddenly shouted.
As soon as these words came out, Mu Yingchen couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
This is an excellent opportunity.
Soon, a group of guards went to the imperial kitchen to get midnight snacks.
Mu Yingchen followed the group quietly like a shadow.
Along the way, Mu Yingchen assassinated many sharpshooters crouching on the roof.
Speaking of which, tonight was Mu Yingchen's first time killing someone.
But she didn't feel uncomfortable with this kind of work.
I even had some fun doing it.
After arriving near the imperial kitchen, Mu Yingchen entered the house first.
After a while, the main door was pushed open and the guards walked in carelessly.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this stuff smells really good."
"Brothers, let's have a good time with this good job we earned tonight."
"Who says it's not the case? We have to stay in the palace all night, so we have to fill our stomachs."
These guards were not economical, so they took this opportunity to feast on the food in the imperial kitchen.
Mu Yingchen hid on the beam and couldn't help but swallow.
After waiting patiently for half a stick of incense, the guards finally had a good meal and were ready to serve the King of Silla.
It's said to be a late-night snack, but it's actually just some desserts and fruits, but it's not as luxurious as a dinner.
But having said that, I still filled a full food box.
"It's ready, brothers, let's leave quickly."
Several people brought their food boxes and were about to go out when a scream suddenly sounded outside the house.
Several people were naturally shocked, and quickly put down their food boxes, drew their weapons and rushed outside the house.
After they rushed outside the house, they found a cat with explosive fur and a colleague whose face was scratched.
"Hahahaha, you are so useless, aren't you? You were bullied like this by a cat."
"Go away, you would do the same thing if it were you, this is the princess's pet!"
This suddenly blocked everyone's mouths.
This cat has a good master, and its life is much more valuable than servants like them.
Angrily, several people returned to the house, intending to continue their mission.
