At night, the wind blew through the city wall, the torches burned quietly, and the roving patrols left with weapons in hand.

Under the city wall, in the distance are residential buildings with lights out. Under the eaves, there is a figure standing there with his hands behind his back, looking indifferently at the tall wall in front of him. People are coming and going, and torches are spreading out like a long dragon.

The door not far behind him suddenly rang, opening a gap.

"Okay, this family is in a coma." Yelu Hongyu's voice said in the darkness. The figure under the eaves in the yard over there turned around, walked towards the door, and said to the person behind the door: "Have you found the secret passage you mentioned?"

"This secret passage was dug by my brother and I, just to sneak out for fun." She suddenly shook her head and smiled dejectedly: "...It's a pity that things have changed. . I didn’t expect that someone was already sitting there. Fortunately, they were just ordinary dignitaries, otherwise it would have been really difficult.”

Unable to see the other party's expression clearly in the darkness, Bai Ning walked past her, "...it's time for revenge."

"Yeah, it's time for revenge."

Yelu Hongyu walked behind him with a soft tone, but a little sad. Then she wiped the corners of her eyes without leaving a trace, as if nothing happened. After walking some distance further, at the end of the connected building, Sun Zhongzhi was guarding there. There were two unconscious people lying at his feet. They looked like they were slaves in the yard.

The woman walked directly over the figure on the ground and pushed open the door of the firewood shed. The innermost firewood pile had been cleared away. On a floor tile that looked like any other, a square hole was opened by Yelu Hongyu using a hidden mechanism.

"This is it." She took a deep breath, "Going down from here leads directly to the backyard of the palace. Bai Ning and I went in, and Lao Sun was guarding here. The guard of the imperial city is named Wanyan Baye, who was bought by Wu Qi. My nephew is also a fierce warrior on the battlefield. If the assassination fails this time, it will definitely alarm the other party. This is our only way to escape from the palace, so someone must guard it."

"Besides, Bai Ning, you can't bring your weapons in, as they can be easily discovered. You have stayed in the palace the longest, and you should know that apart from the guards, only the emperor can wear weapons."

The Xuantian Hunyuan Sword was suddenly thrown to Sun Zhai, and Bai Ning jumped down the secret passage in silence and expressionless. Yelu Hongyu also jumped down, and then popped up again and warned the people standing by: "If some people find that something is wrong here, don't be soft, and guard for an hour!"

She held up a finger.

Sun no longer nodded, inserted Bai Ning's sword into his belt, and leaned against the shadow of the wall holding the copper stick.

Over there, there was no one left at the entrance of the secret passage.

***************************************

The Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Jin, the Imperial Study Room.

His footsteps were flying in the corridor. Outside the door of the royal study not far ahead, a eunuch raised his head expectantly. He saw a junior eunuch of a lower rank coming towards him, and then waved to him.

"Your Majesty is still staying up late reviewing the memorials, and it makes me feel distressed just to see you. Go bring a bowl of ginseng soup to replenish Your Majesty's health."

The young eunuch was stunned for a moment. He obviously had other things to do. Just as he was about to open his mouth, there were several coughs in the room, and then Wu Qimai's voice sounded, seeming to call someone.

The older eunuch responded quickly, and stepped in with a smile on his face. At the same time, he turned his face and urged the young eunuch who was standing outside the door sullenly: "Then why are you standing there? If you are late, be careful. "

"Yes…"

The little eunuch trembled, bowed quickly, and hurried back in the direction he came.

"You're so mean." The figure at the door looked at the other person's anxious back with disdain, then walked into the imperial study with a flattering smile.

The door closes.

……

The figure of the young eunuch ran back, passing through the guards at ten paces in the corridor, turning around and passing by a garden. After casually greeting a group of patrolling guards, he passed through the Moon Gate and continued forward. Walking more than ten feet is the imperial dining room.

Most of the palaces were very quiet, and the path taken by the young eunuch was actually a shortcut. He probably had something to do, so he had to find a way to get it done as quickly as possible.

"I know how to order people. I'm obviously not on duty today..." The young eunuch recalled with some grievance. He walked on the stone path illuminated by the lantern. The wind blew and the huge light spot on the ground swayed.

In the flickering light and sight, he suddenly paused and vaguely heard a faint sound in the grass not far away.

"Someone?"

The little eunuch glanced over there hesitantly, and then he was so frightened that he wanted to open his mouth and scream. A small black shadow flew from mid-air, and the moment his Adam's apple rolled and he shouted.

bah—

Under the lantern, the horrified figure swayed, blood flowed from the middle of his eyebrows down the bridge of his nose, and a pebble shot directly into his head. In the grass, a black shadow quickly flashed out, grabbed the body that was about to fall and dragged it into a hiding place, and there was a rustling sound.

Not long after, a young eunuch came out, his face slowly twisted and squirmed in an indifferent manner.

In a few breaths, his appearance changed into that of a dead person.

"Waiting for an opportunity to act..." Bai Ning straightened his robe and hat, whispered into the grass, and turned back in the direction he came from.

Behind him, a silhouette of a woman follows him like a shadow.

On the way, he occasionally encountered patrolling soldiers, and Bai Ning dealt with them. However, when he rounded the corner, he encountered a palace maid. The woman was startled at first, but then calmed down.

"You don't have eyes when you walk...it scares my aunt to death."

"Little one, it's something urgent. I'm really sorry." Bai Ning lowered his voice as much as possible, making it sound a little shriller.

"Forget it, forget it, it's okay anyway, you can go."

The palace maid patted her chest and waved the cloth in her hand back, then walked away from the side. After a few steps, she suddenly stopped again. At this time, Bai Ning's face darkened slightly, and the female voice behind her said: "Wait...I I don’t think I’ve seen you before…” Then, his eyes suddenly widened and he pointed.

The pointed figure suddenly turned sideways. The moment he raised his arm, his hand was already on the fair neck of the palace maid, and his fingers twisted slightly.

A click.

The broken neck lay crookedly on the shoulder.Bai Ning threw his body towards the eaves of the corridor outside, and a pair of arms reached down to catch him, dragging him up in the blink of an eye.

Not long after, there was a tall and strong palace maid behind him, walking a few steps away from each other.

Outside the imperial study room, anxious figures were circling. When they saw Bai Ning approaching, they hurriedly approached the other side, tapping their fingers in the air: "You... let us tell you what to do... Something... I'm procrastinating, uh... Where's the ginseng soup that Your Majesty wants?"

The firelight under the eaves of the porch swayed in the wind, and Bai Ning looked at each other with a smile.

"No...when did your kid grow taller..."

At the same time as the words came out, the hand on the other side stretched out and grabbed the eunuch's face directly, and his five fingers sank into the flesh with a few pops.

The blood flew away in the swaying light of the lantern, and the blood spread.

The twitching corpse was then quietly lowered to the ground. Bai Ning and Yelu Hongyu stepped over the bloodstains, and finally stood outside the door of the royal study.

"How sure are you?"

"Within ten steps, you will die." Bai Ning wiped the blood on his hand with a white silk, threw it away, and floated to the ground. He opened the door with a bang with both hands and walked in.

Inside, behind the desk, the giant bear-like old man was slightly startled.
