That night, Yaowu took note of the approximate building locations in the palace, and smeared the story and sneaked towards the location of Ganlu Hall.
Although the palace was heavily guarded, it was not difficult for a blue crow leader who could fly over walls and fly over walls. For example, the bold and careful crow simply climbed up the wall of a courtyard somewhere in the palace and crept forward with his waist hunched over.
.
Under the round wall, there was a group of guards holding sharp swords to guard the place. These people did not notice that someone was quietly passing by less than a foot away from behind.
However, when they got closer and closer to the Ganlu Palace, no matter how agile Ya Wu was, he couldn't get any closer because he didn't know when, but there were guards on duty and patrols all around.
The inner stone lamp illuminated the longing figures of the guards, and even Ya Wu felt his scalp numb and his heart beating with fear.
It's no wonder, after all, this is the imperial palace of Wei State. He is only one person, and there are not many more guards. If he is discovered by these guards, he will definitely die without a burial place.
Especially when Crow Five discovered that these guards had hand crossbows hanging on their waists, he became even more frightened.
But when he thought of Gao Kuo's instructions and the respect of a certain Prince Su, Ya Wu took a deep breath and prepared to take the risk.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, a group of guards happened to pass behind the rockery where Ya Wu was hiding. Ya Wu spotted the last member of the group of guards, stepped out, covered the opponent's mouth and nose, and at the same time placed the palm of his right hand on the back of the opponent's head.
Hit it hard and fast.
Immediately, the guard's body went limp, and he was dragged into the rockery by Ya Wu, and his armor was pulled off.
Since the armors of these imperial guards were all made by the Smelting Bureau, and their styles were very similar to the armors of the merchant navy, so Ya Wu, who had pretended to be the merchant navy many times, quickly put on the armor and raised the Changge.
After carefully looking around, he walked out calmly.
Crow Five did not dare to follow that team of guards. After all, in his opinion, since they were members of the same team of guards and they were somewhat familiar with each other, he might be exposed as soon as he showed up.
Every once in a while, another group of guards passed by the rockery. Ya Wu saw the opportunity and attacked the last guard in the team again. After knocking the latter unconscious, he casually dragged the guard into the rockery and quickly
He followed the group of guards in a matter of steps.
It has to be said that Yaowu's skills are indeed nimble. The two teams of guards were not aware of the two attacks. Even the team of guards at the back did not even know that the last companion in their team had been lost.
Following the group of guards, Yawu deliberately lowered his helmet, keeping up with the guards in front while looking around at the surrounding situation.
He was horrified to find that there were probably more than a few dozen teams of guards patrolling the area, and the number of guards stationed there was even more unknown. It would be extremely difficult to sneak into the Manlu Palace quietly.
However, Ya Wu's luck seems to be good, because the team of guards he belongs to is currently heading in the direction of Ganlu Palace - at least this is the direction that Eunuch Liu is pointing to.
However, before Yawu could rejoice for a long time, the imperial guard who was walking in front suddenly turned around and changed direction.
Seeing this, Yawu was shocked. Seeing the Manna Palace in the distance, he gritted his teeth and simply continued walking forward.
But unfortunately, the imperial guard leader noticed him and said angrily from a few feet away: "Hey, Tian San'er, where are you going? You're back."
"Ah?" In order to prevent others from seeing through it, Ya Wu said vaguely: "Eh? Aren't you going to move on?"
At this moment, his heart was beating fast. After all, once his identity was exposed by the guard leader, he would never be able to leave the palace alive.
Fortunately, the guard leader was not disturbed by Ya Wu's unclear voice, and said angrily: "I've told you several times, in front of you is the Manna Hall, guarded by the guards of the Arch Guard Department.
Don't wait until you get close without permission. If you approach the Manna Hall in a daze and are shot into a sieve by those guards, don't blame me for not warning you in advance."
After that, he and the other guards laughed and said, "This kid must be sleepy again."
Several guards laughed softly, and then one of the guards lowered his voice and said: "Speaking of which, those guards are really no joke. I remember a few months ago, some of our brothers who were guards were probably
It was worth drinking some wine and accidentally entered
He went near the Manlu Palace, but was shot dead by the guards on the spot... Damn it, how much trouble would it take to give a warning in advance? If you just say "His Majesty rests here, don't disturb him", wouldn't the wrong person go back?
?Those people are good..."
After hearing this, another guard also lowered his voice and said: "Don't you understand? Those guards don't like us guards, so they won't care if you entered by mistake... Maybe those people are still eager for you to leave.
Wrong, I will shoot you to death with a cold arrow secretly, and then charge you with "attempting to assassinate His Majesty" after your death..."
"Okay, okay, just say a few words...where do you think this is?"
Seeing that the guards under his command became more and more exaggerated, the guard lowered his voice and scolded them.
Seeing this, the guards could only say something like "When the prince succeeds to the throne, let's see how arrogant those bastards of the guards will be!" and followed the lead of the guard.
During this period, Yaowu could only follow this group of guards, because according to what the leader of the guards said, if he approached Ganlu Hall in such a dark way, even if he was not noticed by the guards, he would probably be spotted by the Guards Department.
The guard fired a cold arrow and shot him to death - if this is true, it would be really unjust.
After all, the Gongwei Division is a secret agent and bodyguard directly under Wei Emperor Zhao Yuancai, and the Green Crows are subordinates of Su Wang Zhao Hongrun. Therefore, the relationship between the two parties is very good, just like the relationship between the Green Crows and the eunuch Dongjian.
In view of this situation, Yaowu had no choice but to give up his plan of sneaking closer to Ganlu Palace and followed this group of guards, hoping to learn more about the situation in the palace from their mouths. Unfortunately, he followed this group of people and listened.
For nearly two hours, Ya Wu only heard this group of people chatting about the ladies in the palace in their free time, but there was nothing else to gain.
I don't know how much time passed, but Yawu suddenly heard a noise coming from far away in the palace.
Knowing that something was wrong, he escaped from the group of guards under the pretense of urinary escape, hurriedly hid, and quickly returned to Eunuch Liu's residence.
Sure enough, after Crow Five escaped, the defense in the palace immediately became tighter. The reason was that the two guards who were knocked unconscious by Crow Five woke up. Although they were trapped by Crow Five, their hands and feet were trapped, and there were words in their mouths.
Although they were stuffed with cloth strips, they could still make a "wuwuwu" sound from their mouths, alerting the guards who happened to be passing by.
The guards were knocked unconscious in the palace, especially one of the guards who had his armor stripped off. The guards in the palace naturally understood the seriousness of the matter, and immediately adopted martial law and searched for the audacious thief.
Fortunately, Ya Wu was alert and after realizing that something was wrong, he immediately fled back to the residence of Eunuch Liu. Under the protection of this eunuch, he was finally not caught by the guards.
But unfortunately, this incident has alerted the imperial guards in the palace, and Crow Five will not be able to sneak into the Manlu Palace in a short time.
"If I had known earlier, I would have killed those two guys, so they wouldn't have been exposed so quickly..."
While feeling depressed, Ya Wu secretly thought to himself.
But in fact, he also understood that even if he killed the two guards at that time, he would still be exposed when dawn comes.
Seeing that it was useless to stay in the palace, Ya Wu simply decided to leave the palace and reported the situation to King Su Zhao Hongrun.
At dawn the next day, Crow Five left the palace smoothly under the cover of Eunuch Liu, the procurement eunuch.
After leaving the palace, he carefully checked behind him, and after making sure that no hidden sentry was following him, he went straight to the back door of Prince Su's Mansion, where his companions from the Green Crows opened the back door for him.
Entering the palace, I found Zongwei Gao Kuo, and General Yawu gave a brief summary of what he saw last night.
After Gao Kuo heard this, he immediately came to His Highness's residence and called outside the door: "Mrs. Que, Qingya has urgent news and needs to report it to His Highness in person."
Mrs. Que, Zhao Hongrun's concubine Zhao Que, was born as an assassin and was very sensitive to some movements. After hearing Gao Kuo's call, she woke up Zhao Hongrun who was sleeping deeply.
After a while, Zhao Hongrun walked out of the dormitory feeling a little sleepy, and brought Gao Kuo and Ya Wu to the study.
In the study, Ya Wu told Zhao Hongrun exactly what he saw and heard last night, only to hear the latter frown frequently.
Because according to the information spoken by Crow Five, the palace was clearly controlled by the imperial guards controlled by Prince Hongyu, and even his father was under house arrest in disguise by Prince Hongyu - although Crow Five also mentioned that the Manna Palace was still there
Under the control of the Imperial Guards, but that doesn't mean anything.
Prince Hongyu has 100,000 imperial guards in his hands. How many guards are there in the Imperial Guard Division?
If the former really wants to put their father under house arrest and surround the Manna Palace, judging from the current situation, it can be done easily.
Zhao Hongrun would rather believe that the reason why Prince Hongyu did not directly ask the imperial guards to place their father under house arrest was just to save some face for the latter, or they had reached some tacit understanding.
Otherwise, if there is a serious conflict between the Imperial Guards and Imperial Guards, how can a Imperial Guard with only a few hundred people be the opponent of a hundred thousand Imperial Guards?
"Putting my father under house arrest? To this extent?"
After taking a cup of tea from Gao Kuo and taking a few sips, Zhao Hongrun calmed down.
To be fair, he really couldn't understand why Prince Hongyu wanted to put their father under house arrest? You know, the throne was already within easy reach for Prince Hongyu, why would the latter do such a treasonous thing?
After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Hongrun put down the tea cup and walked to the window. Looking at the snowy scene outside the window, Zhao Hongjing's words "take it and kill it" suddenly rang in his mind.
"...It may not be possible to take them back and kill them, but I am afraid it is true that I want to take back the military power..."
Sighing secretly, Zhao Hongrun murmured: "Brothers who hold military power, do you really have such a hard time sleeping and eating?"
Half an hour later, in the East Palace, Prince Hongyu, who had just woken up, frowned and listened to the report from his aide Zhang Qigong.
"...Your Highness, a thief sneaked into the palace last night, knocked out two guards, and even took off the armor of one of the guards. It seems that he deliberately pretended to be a guard to investigate something."
"What a bold thief, have you ever caught him?" Prince Hongyu asked.
Zhang Qigong shook his head and said: "The guards blocked the palace and searched for three hours, but could not find the whereabouts of the thief... From the fact that only one guard was stripped of his armor, it can be inferred that the thief last night
There is only one person... Right now, the only person with such ability in Daliang City is probably... King Su's "Green Crow"."
"..."
Looking at Zhang Qigong's solemn expression, Prince Hongyu also had a solemn expression.
