The sky was getting dark, the night had already fallen, a crescent moon hung high in the sky, casting gentle light, Lu Xiaofeng leaned against the city wall with his hands on his shoulders.All of the bow, arrow, knife and ax hands under the city suddenly disappeared, walking as cleanly as when they appeared.The soldiers guarding the Forbidden City are of course well-trained fighters.

The battlements are very wide, and there are two people standing on each side of the southeast. These four people on the city have been famous in the world for more than ten years. If they attack at the same time, no one in the world can stop their joint blow.

Or go in another place.Lu Xiaofeng watched for a while, then walked out of the city slowly.It was not until evening that they separated from Zhu Yijun. Although Lu Xiaofeng felt fine physically, he was really not used to it psychologically, so he didn't dare to get tired of it.I thought to myself that I must get it back in the future, and the awkwardness in my heart faded a little.

On the northwest corner of the Forbidden City, there is a dark and stale place, even when the sun shines on it, it looks dark and humble. Lu Xiaofeng never imagined that he would come to this place again.

The street is narrow and dirty, with a small restaurant blackened by oily smoke, a small teahouse as noisy as a chicken coop, and a small grocery store full of eggs and oil sauce on both sides.

The wind was filled with the stench of smoke, wine, salted fish and moldy tofu, and all kinds of strange smells that could not even be described.The strange smell in the teahouse is stronger than outside, and the waiter is also a yin and yang person, always looking at Lu Xiaofeng and giggling.Lu Xiaofeng put up with this man.

A eunuch came down from the upstairs, smiled and said, "You really keep your word, and you came to drink tea with me again after a few days. As expected, I knew we would be good friends as soon as I saw you."

Xiao Anzi came down, took Lu Xiaofeng's hand, expressed affection to him, and even stroked his beard with a smile.Lu Xiaofeng felt his whole body, even his fine hair and beard were sweating and shivering.

"I killed Brother Ma Liu, why don't you find someone to arrest me?"

Xiao Anzi laughed with a sound like a little hen, laughing so much that Lu Xiaofeng had goosebumps all over his body: "I said earlier that you are my brother, I have always disliked him, but Mr. Lu protects him .Good kill, good kill!"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded and didn't say anything else, apparently he didn't want to get involved with the eunuchs' affairs.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I have something to trouble you!"

"Say it, just say it." Xiao Anzi rubbed his hands affectionately: "No matter what, as long as you tell me, I will do it."

"I don't know if you can tell me how many waves of guards you have to pass from here to the inner court, and what the patrol password is."

Xiao Anzi squinted his eyes and said, "Why are you asking?" He looked at Lu Xiaofeng and smiled and said, "I don't know if you ask me. The patrol password is changed every day, and I was put on vacation a few days ago. Otherwise, how could you see me at night?"

When Lu Xiaofeng heard this, he couldn't help asking: "You guys still have a vacation?"

Xiao Anzi nodded.Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly, it seemed that he really had to force his way.

Xiao Anzi touched Lu Xiaofeng's hand, thought for a moment, and said, "If you want to enter the palace, it's not that I can't help you."

Lu Xiaofeng regained his energy and immediately asked: "Can you take me into the palace?"

Xiao Anzi shook his head and said, "I can't. But I have a friend named An Fu, he is Princess An Ning's servant, and he just came out to visit his wife and children today, he can take you there."

Lu Xiaofeng was taken aback, how could eunuchs have wives and children?He didn't dare to dwell on this issue, and said, "We're going to find your friend now." After speaking, he pulled Xiao Anzi out.

Xiao Anzi said sternly, "It's just that there is one more thing that I have to say."

"You said."

"If you are caught, you can't confess to us."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled: "Don't worry, I was really arrested, and I definitely won't say it was you."

He knew that as long as he entered the palace, he had entered the Dragon Pond, and as soon as he was discovered, he might die under random knives and arrows at any time.

There are twelve teams of guards in the southwest corner, some are patrolling around, some are guarding outside each palace, and some are ambushing in the courtyard.

A team of guards outside the Compassionate Ning Palace, a total of 150 people, each group of 30 people, began to patrol along the four sides of the Compassionate Ning Palace from the beginning of time, during which there was only a gap of two cups of tea at most.

The Forbidden City is majestic and majestic, with golden towers and jade towers, row upon row of palaces. It is not the first time for Lu Xiaofeng to come in, but this time it is the strictest. Xiao Anzi gave him a set of guard clothes, and Lu Xiaofeng followed Anfu to the junction of the inner court just separated.When the guards change defenses, there is always some confusion, and in the chaos, negligence is inevitable. This is his best opportunity.He already knew the shortest way from Anzi, which leads directly to the Palace of Compassion.

The Compassion Ning Palace has a large area, and Lu Xiaofeng hid in the woods.The oncoming guards would not notice that there was one more person behind the line.This team of guards was patrolling around the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and he also patrolled behind.

Lu Xiaofeng waited until the guard in front turned around the corner, and suddenly flew up to the roof.Suddenly the foot slipped, the dark passage was not good, the roof was covered with tiles, and some were covered with glass of small size.He flitted past like a swallow, opened a door and turned in, without disturbing the patrolling guards.

"Who is it!" A voice came from the back of the hall, it was a woman.

Only then did Lu Xiaofeng turn around, the room was dimly lit with candles, the tidying up was simple and warm, but everything was exquisite and luxurious, the ebony table was covered with a celadon four-legged stove, and clouds and mist slowly dispersed in the room.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Empress Dowager?"

When the Empress Dowager Cisheng heard the words, she sternly said, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into Ai's Palace of Compassion."

"Grassman Lu Xiaofeng, come here today, the emperor has a few words for me to pass on to you for him, can the empress dowager come out and see you?" Lu Xiaofeng said loudly.

After Lu Xiaofeng finished speaking, he stared at the curtain, there was a figure shaking, and a moment later, a beautiful woman came out, with dignified attire and graceful demeanor.The Empress Dowager Cisheng looked at Lu Xiaofeng with stern eyes, and said: "When you see Ai's family, you should not be polite."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng smiled, raised his hand and made a quack salute, saying: "The grassroots Lu Xiaofeng, I have seen the empress dowager."

The Empress Dowager Cisheng frowned slightly, lowered her voice slightly, and said, "You must have evidence to prove your identity, otherwise it will be difficult for the Ai family to trust you."

Lu Xiaofeng took out a jade pendant, which was exactly the one given to Zhu Yijun by Emperor Mu Zong when he established the crown prince. The Empress Dowager Cisheng seemed to have a flash of light in her eyes, and said: "What did the emperor say?"

"The emperor will return to the palace tomorrow, let the queen mother be more careful." Lu Xiaofeng said expressionlessly.

"What else?" The Empress Dowager Cisheng raised her voice for a moment, then her face softened, and she calmed down, and said, "The Ai family also has a word, and Daxia Lu also helped to pass it on to the emperor. You come forward."

Lu Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment, then walked up, just about to ask.At this moment, the seemingly delicate and weak queen mother threw her palms at him with a gloomy expression. She put her five fingers together and carried wind in her palms. It looked like she was a master of inner strength.Lu Xiaofeng dodged for a short time, but at this moment, his chest suddenly sank, as if it had been attached to his back, and he suddenly became thinner.

He once used this trick to avoid Ye Gucheng's sword. 'Empress Dowager Cisheng' didn't expect this move to fail, and quickly backed away as if preparing to call someone.However, at this moment of indifference, Lu Xiaofeng also made a move.He clasped the throat of the 'Cisheng Empress Dowager' with one hand. No one could describe the ingenuity and speed of his lock.

The fake queen mother didn't use any more strength, she looked at Lu Xiaofeng coldly, and Lu Xiaofeng also looked at him, before he could ask any questions, suddenly the fake queen mother bled from the seven orifices, Lu Xiaofeng's expression changed, he grabbed his wrist, and died of poisoning.Lu Xiaofeng felt his fingertips were getting cold, and lifted off her mask with two fingers, only to see a pale but extremely strange face.

Lu Xiaofeng's face became ugly, it was indeed a fake.

At this time, a sound came from the inner hall suddenly, a black shadow slid past the window, and rushed out at an extremely fast speed, Lu Xiaofeng froze, and chased after him, at this moment, the eunuchs outside shouted, "Come on, come on, come on!" Catch the assassin!" There was a sound of footsteps coming towards him not far or near.

Although Lu Xiaofeng will never be caught by them, it is absolutely impossible to chase him. At 36, walking is the best policy, Lu Xiaofeng waved his arms and pulled the green onions from the dry land. With a "bang", he broke a big hole in the window beside him.

His people have fled out.I saw people rushing from all directions, some with knives and some with guns.Lu Xiaofeng retreated again and again, the only way to retreat was to get out over the wall.But the walls of the Forbidden City seem to be at least ten feet high, and in the whole world, no one can sneak out of it, even if Chu Liuxiang, who made a name for himself in the past, was resurrected, he would never have such ability.

Luckily Lu Xiaofeng still had a knife in his hand, the guard's knife was still on his waist, his men suddenly sprang up, swiped four feet, stabbed backhand, the blade pierced into the city wall.

His men had already stuck to the city wall, then drew out their knives, and slid up like a gecko. When they were about to reach the top of the wall, with a kick on their toes, they turned over in the air, and a "thin chest and cleverly turning the clouds" fluttered to the top of the wall.

Suddenly, a person on the city wall sneered and said, "Where do you want to run? You can't!"

Lu Xiaofeng only heard voices, but didn't see anyone, and didn't know if the person had already made a move.

He tiptoed, the person jumped up again, and turned over in the air again, only to see this person.This man was sleeping on the battlements in the southwest of the Forbidden City. He was wearing a dirty and torn blue cloth robe, and a pair of broken straw sandals with soles on his feet, but his scalp was shiny.

This man was actually a monk.

"Honest monk." Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help yelling, and almost fell under the city wall.

On the other side, Zhu Yijun returned to Uncle Wuqing's mansion refreshed and refreshed. King Lu had been sitting in the chair in the room for nearly an hour without moving, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed to have unresolved worries. It wasn't until the servant next to him said: "My lord, the emperor is back." Then he came back to his senses and hurried out.

"Brother Huang!" Lu Wang looked at the approaching person, his eyes turned red, and he said in a choked voice.

Zhu Yijun's heart trembled, and he took Lu Wang's hand tightly, trying to take a closer look, but felt that his hand was wrong, and it was covered with a thick layer of bandages, and said in a deep voice, "Why are you injured?"

King Lu's face changed, he gritted his teeth loudly, and said, "The gangster injured his hand when he blew up the boat, and it's almost healed now."

Lu Wang took Zhu Yijun into the house and explained to him what had happened in the past few months.

"That day when my brother's boat arrived in Jiangsu Province, he met scout soldiers of scoundrels and killed them. It was my brother's carelessness. I didn't expect that someone would come to blow up the boat overnight. There is no news about the adults until now. I'm afraid More than good luck, my brother was also injured and fell into the water. Fortunately, he was rescued and his injuries recovered after more than a month of treatment. The younger brother saw that these gangsters were very strange, and he did not dare to reveal his whereabouts along the way. Recently, he returned Only in the capital can I dare to go to Su Yuniang's place to report safety."

King Lu spoke very calmly, and his expression calmed down a long time ago: "If you can't make it clear in time, let the emperor worry, I hope the emperor will not blame you."

"It's good to be back safely. The queen mother is very worried about you. Fortunately, you are back safely." Zhu Yijun nodded.

Zhu Yijun didn't seem surprised by Lu Wang's words, and his expression didn't change at all, it was hard to see his thoughts from his calm face.

Zhu Yijun looked out the window but frowned, and asked King Lu: "There are hundreds of soldiers around you on the road, and there is no news about the guards so far?" The guards he gave to King Lu were all hardcover soldiers from the army. Unless someone confiscated the personal guards, Zhu Yijun would be the first to believe that they were all dead.

King Lu said helplessly: "I don't know what happened after I fell into the water. Maybe the gangsters buried another ambush, and my brother escaped by luck."

Lu Wang knew the matter in his heart and Zhu Yijun still had doubts in his heart, so he made it clear and said that he was injured and comatose, which could minimize Zhu Yijun's suspicion of him.

Zhu Yijun nodded, "You still have your seal?"

Lu Wang casually said: "It has been lost for a while, I'm afraid it disappeared when it fell into the water."

Zhu Yijun stared into his eyes for a while, and finally sighed. In fact, Lu Wang didn't say anything, and his attitude was also seen in his eyes, but Lu Wang said it so frankly, which surprised him a little.

"Keep it carefully, don't drop it again." Zhu Yijun frowned slightly, but returned the seal to him without saying anything.

"Where did you find the emperor?"

Zhu Yijun said perfunctorily, "On a businessman."

Lu Wang was keenly aware that Zhu Yijun was looking at him all the time, raised his head to meet Zhu Yijun's gaze, and said in a neutral manner: "Thank you, brother!"

Zhu Yijun saw that he had lost a lot of weight during these days, but it was not surprising that he had been wandering for a few months, but the change in appearance was second to none. He knew exactly what kind of temperament King Lu was, and he was completely different from the domineering people he used to be. The two of them were in a trance for a moment, and he suddenly felt that the child whom he saw with his own eyes had become a little hard for him to see through.

"You go down first. Stay here for the next two days, rest, and don't go out and wander around anymore." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, obviously not saying much.

"Your brother understands." King Lu lowered his head, his face cast a shadow, he couldn't see his expression for a while, and then retreated.
