The night, the dark night, the night with thick clouds, the moonlight never penetrated the thick haze.
Heavy rain passed, and the sky was sprinkled with sporadic cold raindrops.
The city, the royal city that was still brightly lit at this time, was not spared, and in the wind and rain, it had been thoroughly washed like any other corner of the city, but this unexpected washing seemed to have come too violently.
The stumps and fallen leaves were spread all over the ground outside the palace gate, they were blown left and right by the wind on the slippery and shiny bluestone slabs, making a squeaky sound, and the tall woods outside the palace wall in the distance were also tortured, and they rustled angrily, layer after layer, wave after wave, and clanged and slapped under the enthusiastic cooperation of the big copper ring on the gate of the Xuanhei Palace.
It can be seen that the looks of the guards tonight are a little nervous, they are still standing neatly, divided into two rows, each row of about ten people, but they have replaced the set of useless and polite black coats, replaced by the cold thick black chain mail, hanging around their waists a square bronze medal engraved with the word "green", holding the handle of the knife, a pair of eagle eyes in the darkness in front of the eyes constantly looking around, carefully identifying the slightest hint of wind and grass, dare not slack off.
Yes, the brightly lit palace and the outside have been strengthened, it is a silent guard, in the dark corner, inside and outside the palace wall, the corridor door and the dark room have already prepared enough men and horses, in case of this quasi-war situation.
There is no doubt that these centaurs are the most trusted people of the Son of Heaven's royal city master, they are the best of the millions, the elite of the Imperial Forest Army, and the warriors who guard the core of the empire.
However, behind this glamorous appearance, they have an unknown name, Qinghu Camp.
There are 990 people standing in the Qinghu camp, and the ninety-nine are unified, and the way of heaven is reciprocating, and the meaning of life is endless.
Among them, there are many clan children with royal backgrounds, these people are loyal, agile, wise, obedient to orders and have their own thoughts, which is the pride of the 20,000 Yulin Guard's pro-army.
The dense chain mail was covered with rain, and they were soaked, and the water dripped down the edge of the long armor, and no one tried to rub a handful on the rain-soaked face.
In the dark night, in the wind and rain, a torch on the southwest corner tower shook, to be precise, it should have been shaken three times.
The flickering firelight seemed to give a clear signal to the guards, and a captain raised his hand, and a row of torches appeared on the high castle tower, reflecting dozens of bows and arrows aimed at the city.
One of the two columns of guards under the city had quickly flown down the steps and quickly dispersed on both sides of the royal road.
The two leaders fell to the ground, with their ears close to the ground, listening carefully to the slight sound coming from the distance, and the rest of them were half-squatting on both sides of the royal road, some bowed slightly, staring cautiously at the darkness in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer made the hand holding the handle of the knife drag the dragon bird behind him out of half of the blade, exuding a cold silver light.
"The cavalry camp reprimanded...
The cavalry camp reprimanded!
The one who came right away shouted loudly.
"Come and get off the horse!"
The guards roared incessantly in the direction of the voice.
The horse didn't mean to stop at all, and saw a gray-faced man in black riding on horseback, pulling the reins with one hand and holding an iron card in the other, and went straight to the outside of the palace gate before stopping.
He flew off his horse and was kicked to the ground before he could stand still, and when he came back to his senses, several bright knives were already on his neck.
"Why don't you dismount?"
The guard asked angrily.
The black cloth spat blood on his side, and said with a sneer: "When did the horse of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion stop on the royal road. ” The captain of the gate guard glared at the black clothes, let out a sneer, and said loudly: "That's in the past!"
Now it's different.
Now, only Lord Wei has the final say inside and outside this imperial city!
He squatted down, let out a smirk, and then whispered, "I've heard that Lord Wei and you General Yao don't have such a good relationship!"
So be it!
I let you go today, remember to tell you the people of the Xiaoqi Camp when you go back, if you commit it again in the future, don't blame me for turning around and not recognizing people!
” Black-clothed with a look of anger on his face, stood up, and threw the waist card and the book to the school captain for inspection.
I saw the captain raise his hand high, which attracted the sound of collecting arrows and hiding bows on the city tower, and retreated with a brush, and then lit the torch, carefully identified the waist card, and said coldly: "Do you know the road?"
” The black cloth glanced at the palace gate and said, "Familiar with you!"
” The lieutenant made a gesture, and several people stepped forward to search the black clothes, returned the waist card and the book, opened the palace door slightly, and put it in.
The huge bluestone slab had been washed bright and slippery by the rain, and only his steady footsteps could be heard in the empty and silent square, and he lowered his head slightly, as if he was not as eager as just now, but slowly paced forward with small steps that were not fast.
The hall in the distance and the palace group behind the hall were still brightly lit, and the black clothes looked at the halo above the palace group, cleared his throat shallowly, and then took out a small wine bag from behind him and drank it in a big gulp.
He swallowed the liquid from the sac, his eyes instantly reddened, and he coughed.
He took a few quick sips, then tossed the sac aside, and ran through the darkness with a pair of scarlet eyes looking directly at the brightly lit hall not far ahead.
He began to get a little impatient, and the cold wind mixed with scattered raindrops whistled past his cold, resolute face, and quickly blew away a few tears that seemed to seep from the corners of his eyes.
The warning voices of the guards on the high Dan Pier did not slow down his running speed, he ran straight to the front of the main hall along the royal road, his body flashed downward, dodging the guards' rapid silver cold light out of thin air, the gate of the palace was kicked open by him in an instant, and the two thousand leaf blades flew towards several people in the palace.
He fell to the ground, and with a few screams from the palace, he fell outside the large palace gate that he had kicked open, before the steel knives of the guards had cut through his back.
He let out a few forced laughs, then spurted out a mouthful of blood.
The two black horses galloped through the empty alleys, making a dull sound of iron palms hitting the ground, and the sound stopped in front of the palace of Yao Yiwu, the commander of the cavalry battalion.
The two black-clothed men turned over and dismounted, showed their waist cards to the soldiers at the door, and rushed in.
The light in Yao Yiwu's study was still on, maybe it was the chaotic sound of wind and rain tonight that made him seem a little unsettled, so he rummaged through the candle flame in a panic, and accidentally knocked over the bundles of books on the bookshelf on the ground, he wanted to bend down to pick it up, but it was two black-clothed people who rushed into the door and knelt down behind him on one knee.

"General, it's not good!"
A black-clothed roader.
Yiwu turned to look at the comer, put down the book that had fallen to the ground, and sat straight on his big circle chair, the rapid tone of the black clothes seemed to let him find the old and serious state he had on weekdays, his expression did not move, and he said slowly with his usual majestic breath: "What's the matter!"
” The frightened eyes of the black clothes quickly glanced at the man sitting on the circle chair, lowered his head and said: "General, the informant in the palace has come to report that tonight, a black-clothed man broke into the forbidden palace under the banner of the cavalry camp and shot and injured Concubine Ying and a palace person, and His Majesty was also frightened and fainted when he was present. ” Yiwu sat there for a long time without speaking, listening to the trembling report in black.
The two in black knelt on the ground and exchanged glances and said, "General, this matter will definitely implicate our cavalry battalion, at the moment..."
"Did you find out?"
Yiwu interrupted Heiyi's words and asked.
The black cloth replied: "It is not our person at all, but the waist card and saber of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion are indeed real, and this person has taken poison before he acted, and now he is dead without proof." ” Yiwu thought for a while, and sighed to himself: "If you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it, it's ridiculous!"
Amusing!
” He said to the black-clothed land: "You two are my confidants, you have to be more careful in doing things at a critical moment, now the matter is clear, someone wants to put me Yao to death, and now there are two important things to do, first, hold my military talisman, immediately go to Xishan, transfer 5,000 men and horses from the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to prepare for war overnight, there must be no mistake, second, I will repair a book, you will send it to General Huang Qi immediately, and after you want to return the book, you will come to see me."
The two of them received the order, got out of the mansion, and galloped away on a prancing horse.
