The valet came in with something, and Long Chen put on makeup in the mirror to look like Little Plum.
After everything was ready, the door of the pharmacy was closed and the manservant stood outside. Long Chen quietly left the Liu Mansion through the secret passage and arrived at an old house.
After climbing onto the roof, Long Chen easily sneaked into the palace.
The queen's palace was in the middle. After Long Chen arrived at the palace, he lurked on the roof of the backyard, waiting for Li Guangliang's people to arrive.
Jingzhao Mansion.
Li Guangliang has been waiting for Murong Hua to come back, but after waiting for a long time, he still disappeared.
Li Guangliang was upset. If Murong Hua didn't come back, he couldn't wait around. He had other important things to do.
A thin man walked in, wearing night clothes.
"grown ups."
The man bowed to Li Guangliang.
This person is Li Guangliang's secret agent, nicknamed Bat. Although he is thin and small, he has excellent dexterity and is good at assassination.
Bat killed several political opponents and confidants on behalf of Li Guangliang.
"Go to the backyard of the Central Palace and look for a person. If you see him, find a way to kill him."
Li Guangliang took out a picture and spread it on the table. It was the portrait he had drawn before.
"Isn't this the eunuch who escaped from the imperial concubine's palace?"
When Jingzhao Mansion arrested Long Chen, Bat was also involved, so he remembered it.
Li Guangliang nodded slightly and said: "Yes, it's him. This guy is said to be hiding in the Queen's Palace. Find him and kill him."
Bat didn't understand why Little Plum was hiding in the Queen's Palace, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Just do things, no matter why, this is the most basic principle of an assassin.
If you know too much, you will have more worries when taking action.
"clear!"
Bat only glanced at the image. He had an impression of Xiao Lizi's appearance and didn't need to look further.
"Do it cleanly."
Li Guangliang ordered again.
Sneak into the queen's palace to kill people, and you must not leave any trace behind.
The bat responded: "Understood."< br>
After saying that, Bat exited the room and jumped onto the roof.
The bat was light and flew across the roof like a big bat.
The night clothes on his body merged with the night, and passed over the roof silently.
Coming out of Jingzhao Mansion, we stepped on the ridge of the roof and reached the outside of the palace wall.
There were imperial guards patrolling the palace city, and Wuhou patrolling the streets below the city, and torches illuminated the surrounding area.
The bat was lying on the roof, waiting for the patrolling soldiers to change guard. The bat jumped up from the roof, grabbed twice on the palace wall, flew past the palace wall, and landed on the palace roof.
Bat has been to the palace before, and he knows where the middle palace is.
Stepping on the roof ridge, the bat carefully reached the roof of the backyard of the Zhonggong Palace.
When the bat arrived in the backyard, Long Chen had already discovered it.
Bat's cultivation level was not high, he was just good at lightness kung fu. He could hide it from others, but he couldn't hide it from Long Chen.
There are few people in the backyard, and it is even quieter at night, with few pedestrians.
Several lanterns were hung in the corner, and the light was very dim.
Long Chen landed lightly in the yard, sat on the railing at the corner, and let the lantern illuminate his face.
The bat reached the roof and pressed its body against the roof tiles, perfectly hiding its figure.
Lying on the eaves, staring at Long Chen under the lantern with bat eyes, he was secretly happy: Sure enough, here, this guy is actually hiding in the Queen's Palace. No wonder he turned the royal city upside down and couldn't find him!
The bat moved quietly and reached the position above Long Chen's head.
Long Chen was playing with a medicine jar underneath and didn't seem to notice the presence of the bat at all.
Seeing the opportunity, the bat suddenly fell from the roof and stabbed Long Chen in the head with a sharp awl in his hand.
The bat's weapon is a one-foot-long triangular awl, which is specially designed to stab the enemy's forehead.
Because every time the bat lurks in a high place, suddenly jumps down and kills the enemy with one move.
Common daggers and
The sword is not easy to use.
The three-sided awl is strong and sharp. With the help of the gravity of the body's falling, it can perfectly penetrate the head and kill with one blow.
When the bat fell, Long Chen suddenly stood up and walked out, but the bat missed.
Bat was shocked. He had killed so many people and his first sneak attack failed.
The triangular awl had no time to retract it and pierced into the soil. Fortunately, the bat was light and made no sound. Long Chen seemed to be focusing on the medicine jar and didn't notice it at all. He was still walking out. ??
Bat was secretly glad that Long Chen was not alert, so he pulled out the three-sided awl and continued to chase Long Chen.
However, Long Chen suddenly quickened his pace and soon left the backyard. Bat was very worried.
If you go to a crowded place, it will be difficult to assassinate Long Chen quietly.
The bat quickly followed up and stabbed Long Chen in the back of the head.
When the awl was approaching, Long Chen suddenly turned around and shouted in horror: "There is an assassin!"
Bat didn't expect Long Chen to turn around, but he didn't panic.
Judging from the situation just now, Bat felt that Long Chen was just a slow-responsive little eunuch. Even if Long Chen found out, it would be easy to kill him.
The triangular awl stabbed at him. Long Chen's legs went weak and he just managed to avoid it. The bat missed again.
Long Chen threw the medicine jar and ran forward, with the bat chasing after him.
Facing such a stupid target and missing twice in succession, Bat felt very unhappy.
Someone happened to come over from the front, and Long Chen shouted: "There is an assassin, help!"
The shout alerted the surrounding guards, and several well-trained maids rushed out from the darkness and saw a black shadow chasing Long Chen.
The palace maid immediately drew her sword to intercept the bat. The bat's figure was strange, as if its body was weightless, and it actually walked on the wall.
The maid who intercepted was stabbed in the vital part and fell to the ground on the spot.
The bats continued to chase, but Long Chen had already disappeared without a trace.
Bat secretly thought it was bad luck, so he flew up to the roof and quickly evacuated the palace. The assassination had already alerted the guards, and any further pursuit by the bat would only cause him to get stuck in it, so he chose to retreat.
The bats made too much noise, and several more guards died. Yuyao quickly received the information and arrived at the scene.
Holding a lantern, Yuyao carefully examined the body and found that the wound was caused by a triangular weapon.
"Who saw it?"
Yuyao asked loudly.
A palace maid came out and replied: "Auntie, he is a thin assassin wearing black clothes. He is very fast and can walk on the wall."
Yuyao thought for a moment and guessed who this assassin was.
"Who is the assassin after?"
The assassin must have a target when he sneaked into the palace, and the target was obviously not these guards.
The palace maid said: "The assassin seems to be chasing a eunuch."
Yuyao was surprised and said: "Eunuch? Who?"
The palace maid shook her head and said, "The situation was urgent and I didn't see it clearly."
Yuyao said: "Gather all the eunuchs together and ask who they are."
The eunuch who can be assassinated by the bats of Jingzhao Mansion definitely has inside information.
The palace maid immediately went to deliver the order.
Yuyao ordered everyone to be alert and hurried into the queen's bedroom.
There were more than a dozen maids guarding the door, and firewood was burning in the brazier, illuminating the surrounding area.
When Yuyao went in, the queen quickly asked: "What's the fuss about?"
Yuyao replied: "It's very strange. The assassin Bat from Jingzhao Mansion sneaked into the palace and chased an eunuch. When he was discovered, he killed several guards and escaped."
The queen's face suddenly changed and she said angrily: "What a thief, Li Guangliang dared to send an assassin into the middle palace to assassinate him. He went against it, he really did it!"
"Concubine Li is a bitch. She must have instigated Li Guangliang to assassinate me!"
Yuyao wanted to find the hunted eunuch first, but the queen was so angry that Yuyao did not dare to persuade her.
Moreover, no matter who the bat is chasing, sneaking into the palace to assassinate him is treason and targeting the queen.
