The lights in the front yard are brilliant, which can even be described as lanterns and festoons. There are probably hundreds of palace lanterns hanging all over the garden, illuminating the entire courtyard. I don't know if it is to celebrate some happy event, but it is more likely to be for the courtyard.
There was no dark corner under the lantern, and if someone wanted to climb over the wall, there would be no way to escape. Lin Jue looked around a few times, and sure enough he saw two tall towers hidden in the dark sky.
Watchtower. There are no lights on the tower, and it is hidden in the dark sky, so it is difficult to identify. It can definitely be seen during the day. Lin Jue can imagine the scene of standing on the tower and looking around at this moment. Everything below is brightly lit.
There are no blind spots, and everyone's actions can be seen at a glance. Early warnings can be issued at any time to guide the guards in the direction of the siege.
It can be said that basically no one can sneak into the front yard of Prince Huai's Mansion. Prince Guo Xu of Huai moved the set in the general camp to the house. This kind of watchtower in the military camp is a must-have facility in the camp and is extremely common.
It is one of the means to prepare for early warning and cooperate with the general’s command.
More than a hundred steps away, the brightly lit and tall palace-like building also caught Lin Jue's sight. That was the main room in the front yard. Or rather, it should not be called a room, but should be called a palace. It's just that
It's just a little smaller than the Dauchi Palace. Lin Jue knew that this was not against the rules. It was allowed to build a palace in the Prince's Residence, as long as the height and scale were within the regulations.
"Master Lin, please, please. I will have plenty of time for Master Lin to visit His Highness Prince Huai's mansion later. As long as the prince and Master Lin can talk together, what's the harm in inviting Master Lin to stay for a few days? Haha.
Haha." Zheng Zhixue laughed and said, looking at Lin Jue who was looking around. There seemed to be a hint of ridicule in his words, joking that Lin Jue had never seen the world.
Lin Jue laughed twice and didn't take it seriously. He quickly walked down the brightly lit corridor in the palace in front. Dozens of guards stood in front of the hall in the palace. When a commander saw Zheng Zhixue coming, he bowed his hands and saluted.
Zheng Zhixue said: "Commander Zhang, the guest invited by His Highness, Mr. Lin, has arrived. I will take him in to see His Highness."
Commander Zhang looked at Lin Jue and the others, glanced up and down Lin Jue, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go in."
Zheng Zhixue turned around and said with a smile: "Master Lin, please, Your Highness is waiting in the hall of the palace."
Lin Jue smiled and nodded, and walked towards the door of the hall. Suddenly, Commander Zhang shouted: "You two, stop, no one else is allowed in."
Sun Dayong scolded: "What a joke, we came here with my young master, why are we not allowed in?"
Commander Zhang shouted: "This is a rule. Who are you? How can you enter? Just stand outside."
Bai Bing heard this and scolded: "Who cares about your breaking the rules? We want to go in."
Commander Zhang shouted: "If you say no, you won't. If you dare to be rude and make noise, you will be arrested."
"You dare! You should try it." Bai Bingjiao scolded.
"Hmph, you are going crazy here for running wild. Brothers, take them." Commander Zhang waved his hand, and dozens of guards rushed forward to take them. Bai Bing gave a sweet shout and jumped away, holding his hands.
With a series of flying kicks from the mandarin ducks and a series of blows from the green flute with his hands, a circle of people fell to the ground in an instant. Sun Dayong also raised his foot and kicked three or four people away, but he was measured and did not show his weapon.
"It's incredible, you actually dare to fight back. Come on, come on, take them. Give them to me." The commander roared loudly, took out his bamboo whistle and blew it wildly. There were chaotic footsteps in all directions, and countless figures came flying towards him.
The sword's light flickered in the light of the lantern.
Lin Jue never expected that this would happen as soon as he entered Prince Huai's Mansion. A disagreement would lead to a fight. Originally, he was planning to stop, but at this moment he couldn't care anymore, and reached out to take out the tortoise box from his waist.
. If a fight is really going to happen, he has to rush out first without hesitation. Lin Jue has already chosen his target and will first kidnap Zheng Zhixue, who is not far from him. After all, he is the chief historian of the palace, so he may be of some value. If it fails, he will
Use him as a human shield to prevent arrows from shooting and then rush out.
At this moment, a loud shout came from the door of the hall: "Zhang Guodong, what are you doing, don't stop!"
Everyone turned to look, but saw Guo Xu, a muscular man in a black fur coat, standing in front of the hall door with an angry look on his face. Lin Jue slowly lowered his hand stretched to his waist. Guo Xu appeared and wanted to see what was going on.
.It seemed that Guo Xu was here to stop it.
"Your Majesty, these two guys refused to stay outside and insisted on following them in. They were carrying weapons and their humble duties were responsibilities. How could we allow them to enter? No, they actually resisted and injured many of our brothers."
Guard commander Zhang Guodong hurriedly reported the news loudly.
Guo Xu's eyes fell on Lin Jue. Lin Jue cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, King Huai, is this the way you treat guests?"
Guo Xu laughed, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Lin, please be polite. Don't be angry. Zhang Guodong, the commander of the palace guards, is famous for ignoring others. There are rules in my palace, and no idlers are allowed to enter the hall. You brought it with you
When your entourage comes, just let them stay outside. Today is the king's banquet for you, so why do you allow your entourage to fight with my palace guards?"
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "The prince's intention is not ours. I came here today with only two people. You have such a big palace with hundreds of guards. How are you afraid of my mere two followers? Besides,
They are not my entourage. Aren’t they here for the banquet today? I am here with my concubine Bai, so why can’t even my wife enter the hall with me? This person is my brother Sun Dayong, who is a member of my family.
Captain of the nursing home, I only take him with me to run errands, does this also violate His Highness Prince Huai's taboo?"
After hearing this, Guo Xu looked towards Bai Bing and Sun Dayong, and then realized that there were indeed only two people coming with Lin Jue, and one of them was a woman. He immediately laughed and said: "I see, it seems to be a misunderstanding. Mr. Lin is very elegant.
, it seems that Mrs. Ru is your favorite, and you brought her with you to the banquet. Since she is Mr. Lin’s wife, naturally she will not stop her. Brother Sun... let’s go in too. "
Zhang Guodong shouted: "No, this guy is carrying a weapon and must not enter the hall. You can enter if you want, but leave the weapon behind."
Guo Xu frowned and said, "Zhang Guodong, what are you afraid of? It's just one person."
However, Zhang Guodong was very stubborn. He cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "It's not because you're afraid, it's a rule. Your Highness, don't break the rules of the nursing home in the mansion."
Without waiting for Guo Xu to speak, Sun Dayong threw the long knife to the ground with a clang, then took off a belt filled with more than a dozen flying knives from his waist, and threw it on the ground with a clatter. He said in his mouth: "This will make it happen."
Are you done? Look at how scared you are. With your three-legged cats, how can you be a bodyguard? You have to laugh to death."
Zhang Guodong was so angry that he was about to scold him when Lin Jue said: "Sun Dayong, why do you say such things? It's all a misunderstanding. People have their own rules, so we should be guests and follow the host. Don't say more."
Sun Dayong cupped his hands and said: "Yes."
Zhang Guodong looked at Bai Bing and said, "The weapon must be left behind before entering."
Bai Bing raised his eyebrows and scolded: "If you have the ability, come and get it. If you can beat me, I will give you my green flute."
Zhang Guodong was furious and was about to speak when Lin Jue said with a smile: "Commander Zhang, don't you see that it's just a green flute? You call the instrument a weapon? It's really strange. Otherwise, there will be a gun on my waist."
Do you want to keep this jade pendant? Because I will probably hit someone with this jade pendant. And the ring on my hand, do you want to keep it too? It is also possible that I will take this jade pendant, which is worth more than a thousand taels, and it will break if it falls on the ground.
It would be detrimental to your prince to wear the ruby ring."
Zhang Guodong smacked his lips and was speechless, looking at Guo Xu.
Guo Xu laughed and came over and said, "Zhang Guodong, that's just a flute, not a weapon. Why are you so picky?"
"My lord, just now she used this flute as a weapon and injured several of our brothers." Zhang Guodong defended.
"That's because you are stupid. The flute can hurt you, so why are you guards? You don't have to eat the food of the prince's palace and take the money of others for nothing." Bai Bingbing laughed coldly.
"You..." Zhang Guodong was so angry that he almost vomited blood, stared and jumped about to have a seizure.
"Zhang Guodong, stand down. You are making such a fuss over such a trivial matter. Are my words useless to you? Why don't you stand down yet?" Guo Xu's face darkened. He didn't know whether he was angry because of Bai Bing's ridicule or because of Zhang Guodong's.
Tangled and annoyed.
Zhang Guodong had no choice but to back away and let him go. Guo Xu changed his smiling face and handed over to Lin Jue again. His eyes flashed and he said: "It's just a misunderstanding. It's interesting. Mr. Lin, I haven't bought you a drink tonight.
I'd like to invite you to watch a play first. Come on, come on, Mr. Lin has come to my prince's residence. It's really wonderful. Please come in quickly. The banquet is ready. Don't be surprised, Madam and Brother Sun.
And come and take a seat.”
After saying that, Guo Xu stepped forward and grabbed Lin Jue's wrist. He held it tightly like an iron hoop and pulled Lin Jue into the hall. Lin Jue's arms were strong and his muscles bulged to fight back. He also grabbed with his backhand.
He grabbed Guo Xu's wrist and used the same force to bind Guo Xu's wrist tightly. The two of them competed secretly, but they laughed and said polite words. In the eyes of others, this seemed like an intimate pair.
It was as if best friends were walking into the hall in harmony, but in fact the two of them were exerting so much force on each other that their wrists might have been bruised.
A huge candle burned high in the hall, as bright as day. A mahogany table with eight immortals was covered with sumptuous dishes. In addition to seven or eight maids serving beside it, there were more than a dozen tall figures standing there in the dark. Obviously, these
They are the personnel responsible for protection in the hall. I am afraid these people have nothing to do with the guards outside. They must be the personal guards around King Huai who are responsible for personal protection. Lin Jue is not surprised by this, and the same is true for Prince Liang's Mansion. In addition to those led by Shen Tan, Prince Liang's Mansion
In addition to the palace guards, the prince has more than 20 personal guards who are loyal and highly skilled in martial arts. These people are extremely skilled people and can even protect Liang Wang Guo Bing with their bodies at critical times. They are the last barrier to protect Guo Bing.
