Wait a minute, heroine

The remaining clouds covered the moon, and the sky was completely dark. The lights in the deep palace were sparse, and only the light and shadow brought by two lanterns could be seen, going back and forth between the majestic palace palaces.

On the side of the emperor's bedroom is a library, which stores ancient and modern classics and various documents for easy access at any time. At night, the interior is dark and the door is also locked.

The Night Terror Hall was stuck in the gap between the guards and came to the side hall silently. He listened carefully and found that the man in black of unknown origin had moved deeper. Then he carefully pushed open the window that had been opened and entered quietly. in.

Although it is only a side hall, the interior is still quite spacious. There are nanmu bookshelves more than ten feet high placed all around and even in the middle. There is also a ladder truck next to the bookshelf on the wall. It is estimated that there are no more than tens of thousands of volumes in the book collection.

Thump~thump...

In a quiet room where you can hear the drop of a needle, there is no noise such as the wind, and Night Terror Hall can clearly hear a faint heartbeat behind the library.

Relying on his Martial Saint cultivation, he walked close to the bookshelf like a ghost's shadow. He looked through the gap and saw a large desk behind the library. Behind it was a mural carving a coiled dragon. There were small bookshelves on the left and right, which held scrolls, volumes, etc. Wait, it looks like this is where Emperor Liang usually read.

And the dark figure in night clothes had already walked behind the big desk. Waiting for Eunuch Yin to leave again, he moved the pen mountain on the corner of the table.

Click~

After a slight sound, the dragon relief behind the chair moved to the right, revealing the black iron door behind it.

When Ye Jingtang saw this scene, he was really surprised. After all, the man in black did not look for it after he came in. He walked directly behind the desk and turned on the mechanism. He obviously knew the location of the secret compartment in advance.

He looked carefully and could see that the iron door hidden behind the relief was exquisitely crafted even though it was hidden in the dark. The surface was engraved with various patterns of dragons and phoenixes, and in the center was a disk composed of several gold rings. It looked like Similar to a compass, it has scales on it.

Ye Jingtang observed it carefully and felt that the design style was similar to the small sundial he bought before. It was probably made by Zhong Sunjin himself.

Zhong Sunjin was good at machine formations. He personally built the safety door for the emperor, but it might not be that easy to open it silently.

And the fact was not what he expected. After the man in black saw the complicated dial, he was obviously delayed for a moment. It was not until the guard alternately appeared that there was a gap again, then he put his ear to the iron door, and then gently turned the iron door with his fingers. of nine golden rings, carefully adjusted.

Kakakka~

You could hear a needle drop in the library, but apart from the soft sound of the machine coming from inside the iron door, there was no other sound.

Seeing this scene, Ye Jingtang was really worried. After all, this door must be connected to a warning mechanism. If something goes wrong, there will definitely be a loud noise, attracting all the guards in the imperial city.

He knew nothing about this kind of mechanism, and even if he found it just now, he couldn't open it silently; and if he forced the door open, judging from the structure of the heavy iron door, this should also be the temporary refuge of Emperor Liang, just like the sealed door of Yun'an City. The stone is similar, not unshakable, but enough to delay the masters from the capital coming to the rescue.

If he encountered it alone, even if he knew that the Minglongtu was inside, he would probably retreat and go back to find a solution first.

At this time, I saw that this skilled man in black was so bold that he tried to open the trap and even held his breath completely for fear of disturbing the other party. At the same time, he was also prepared to break out of the window if something went wrong to avoid being caught by this person. Implicated and exposed.

Kakakka~

The quiet room kept echoing with the subtle sound of the gears turning, and the feeling of the knife tip wandering, not only made the man in black feel stressed, but also a layer of sweat slowly appeared on Ye Jingtang's forehead.

Fortunately, the man in black who tried to open the door did not disappoint Ye Jingtang. After the two teams of guards alternated several times and waited for half an hour, a "click~" finally came from inside the iron door that had been fiddled with for a long time. .

Then the iron door loosened a little and opened a crack.

Ye Jingtang was so relieved when he saw this scene that he almost gave a thumbs up - beautiful!

The black shadow was obviously a little excited, so much so that his heart beat a little faster. He waited until Eunuch Yin walked by again before quietly opening the iron door, revealing the small room at the back.

The room was a single room. It contained a plank bed, a water reservoir, dry food, a medicine box and other items. It was obviously the emergency safe house of Emperor Liang. There was also a bookshelf on the side, on which were placed some rare treasures that Night Terror Hall could not name. Among them, the most eye-catching thing is a jade box placed in the middle.

The jade box is exactly the same as the picture of the singing dragon in the Wei Dynasty. It should be the picture of the Ming God that was snatched from the Southern Dynasty when the Yan Kingdom was destroyed.

After the black shadow entered the room, he didn't seem to know what the Minglong Picture looked like. He searched carefully on the shelf for a moment, and finally picked up the jade box and began to examine it left and right, wanting to open it.

Ye Jingtang saw that Benben had opened the jade box before and knew how to open the jade box. Naturally, he couldn't just let this master do it alone.

He suppressed all his breath, took advantage of the man in black to check the box carefully, and silently entered the room, came behind the black shadow, leaned slightly closer and said:

"There is a hidden button on the right side, press it hard."

"hiss……?!!!"

As soon as the voice came out, there was an instant silence in the library.

The man in black was holding the jade box and inspecting it carefully. Under the great pressure of sneaking into the forbidden area of ​​the palace, his mind had reached its limit. Unexpectedly, he heard the words coming from his ears. His body twitched obviously and he stiffened on the spot. The box also Dropped from hands.

Ye Jingtang raised his hand in an attempt to catch the jade box so as not to break it, but he never thought that the man in black was very courageous.

The moment the jade box was about to be released, the frightened snitch in black reacted and did not choose to attack from behind. After all, he could touch the person behind him silently. Trying to resist would be self-inflicted.

Pa~

The man in black only moved his left hand slightly, and slapped the jade box that was about to fall towards the inside of the secret room, and then threw his body towards the door, holding the iron door with one hand, trying to close it hard.

But it is a pity that the man in black is a standard Beiliang snitch. His concealment skills are superb, but he is far behind in other aspects.

The moment the box flew out, Ye Jingtang dodged sideways and grabbed the box. Then he tapped his back foot silently on the wall, turned back in the air, and pressed his palm on the iron door.

Bang~

After a slight muffled sound, the iron door that had just started to move stopped in place, no longer nearly half an inch closer.

The man in black tried his best to close the door, but was blocked by the opponent with one hand and was completely unable to move. His eyes were filled with astonishment. He wanted to fly back quickly, but when his legs moved, he stopped in place and suppressed all his breath.

The Night Terror Hall, who was very close at hand, also raised the box, raised his finger, and entered a state of silence.

Tap tap tap~

Soon, footsteps came closer and closer, and there were familiar voices:

"Father, how long will we patrol?"

"After the fifth watch, the other two father-in-laws will take over."

"oh……"

The words move from far to near, and from near to far.

Ye Jingtang's breathing completely stopped. Taking advantage of the opportunity to avoid the detection of the guards, he also observed the man in black with only one pair of eyes exposed in front of him.

Judging from his body shape and eyes, he should be a young man in front of him, about the same age as him, and he should be relatively handsome.

On the outside of the iron gate, Xing Baisheng, known as the 'Flower Fox', saw clearly that the uninvited guest inside the gate was also wearing night clothes, and he was obviously a fellow traveler, and he was secretly relieved.

After all, he thought he had been caught by the Twelve Waiters just now. Since they were all snitches, there was still room for maneuver.

Xing Baisheng himself is a Jianghu person in Xueyuan. He was not considered a martial artist when he was young, but sang opera in Caotai Troupe Middle School.

Because of his extremely good-looking appearance and good talent, he was noticed by strange people in the world. He taught him the "Bee Sparrow" and other strange tricks, and became a famous "flower-faced fox" in the snowy fields.

His most common trick is to go to wealthy families in the name of singing, seduce the hostess with his lust, and then team up with his accomplices to steal treasures.

Because of his eloquence and outstanding appearance, Xing Baisheng had never missed a chance in the past. Even after stealing something, many female heads of wealthy families would tell him to go back without asking for the small amount of money.

As his fame grew, and he did not get killed, Xing Baisheng gradually forgot about his own weight and ran to Shuofeng City, hoping to do something big and become famous in the north and south.

But what he didn't expect was that before he made plans for Shuofeng City, Beiyunbian had already made plans for him. He specially sent people to find those victims and carefully collected information such as their appearance and characteristics.

Almost as soon as Xing Baisheng stepped into Shuofeng City, people from Beiyunbian came to the door. All his accomplices were caught and put in the dungeon. The property accumulated over the years was seized and he was given a message. ——Either peel off the skin and remove the bones and hang them on the city wall as a flag; or help him with something, and then let him be the young master of Shuofeng City and let him choose one.

Xing Baisheng had offended the wrong person, and his life was in their hands, so how could he choose? Then he received the task of coming to the capital to steal the dragon picture.

Xing Baisheng followed the people from Shuofeng City to Beijing in the autumn of last year. He first went to the eldest princess's mansion and served as a minister for a few months. From the old Queen Mother's mouth, she learned the exact location of the Ming Shen Tu.

But the emperor did not leave the palace, and he had no chance, so he kept waiting. It was not until there was movement in the Bishui Forest in the past few days, and Emperor Liang was about to leave the city during the Grain Rain season, that he waited for the opportunity and was called into the palace tonight. Waiting for the opportunity, I touched the emperor's palace.

Everything was going well originally. He had already figured out the situation of the Twelve Waiters. He had also practiced the skills of opening the secret chamber thousands of times with the secret help of Shuofeng City. As long as he opened the secret chamber and got the Ming Shen Diagram, he could escape from the clutches of the old queen mother. I was freed and went to Shuofeng City to become the young master.

But he never dreamed that after working hard for several months to find an opportunity, he would actually meet a colleague with unfathomable strength in a place where outsiders are least likely to be around!

Tap tap tap~

As the footsteps of the guards faded away, everything inside and outside the library became completely quiet again.

Xing Baisheng kept looking into Ye Jingtang's eyes. He waited until the guards left before whispering:

"You are a Thief Saint?"

Ye Jingtang admired this highly skilled thief, so he didn't knock him out on the spot. Seeing that the other party was not surprised, he didn't use any force. He pressed the buckle on the side of the jade box and slid it open, revealing the gold inside. Paper:

"Thieves have their ways. For the sake of you opening the secret room, I'll let you take a look at the Minglong Tu. You can learn to go away and fly away as if you haven't seen it before."

Xing Baisheng was quite moved when he heard this, but this was something he had grabbed based on his ability. Why should he give it to his colleague?

Xing Baisheng's eyes hesitated for a moment, then he slightly cupped his hands:

"Thanks."

As he spoke, he took the golden paper and looked at it carefully with a frown, seemingly comprehending it secretly.

Ye Jingtang has already seen the Ming Shen Tu, and the worst thing he can do next is to escape before Zhongsun Jin comes over. He is not in a hurry at all and just waits quietly.

But when the patrolling guards came over again, the snitch's eyes changed.

Xing Baisheng raised his head and looked into Ye Jingtang's eyes. After making sure that the other party did not dare to move rashly, he began to retreat at an extremely slow speed.

"..."

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang secretly sighed, but did not pursue him. He just watched the other party cautiously distance himself.

When the guard moved away again, the distance between the two sides was also three feet away.

The moment Xing Baisheng was sure that the guard was far enough away, he seized the opportunity and raised his hand to tap the bookshelf beside him.

Bang~

With a slight muffled sound, the books placed on the other side of the bookshelf overturned and fell to the ground.

Wow~

At the same time, Xing Baisheng also flew back silently, trying to escape from the window to let the Night Terror Hall behind him attract the attention of the guards who followed him.

But what he never dreamed of was that his colleague at the door of the secret room was really afraid of making a big noise, so he flew to the other side of the bookshelf to catch the fallen books.

But before he could reach the window, a gust of breeze swept past him, followed by a loosening of his grip and a tap on his back.

Dong Dong~

Xing Baisheng's limbs were numb and it was difficult to regain his breath. A sense of dizziness flooded into his mind, and his eyes were full of astonishment. Before he could shout and alert the guards, he dragged the man to death with his knees, and fell to the ground.

Ye Jingtang held Xing Baisheng with one hand to prevent him from falling to the ground.

Although he could see that the snitch wanted to take over the Ming Dragon Picture for himself, he had helped him a lot after all. It would not be appropriate to kill him. Moreover, if he fell here without the Ming Dragon Picture on him, Beiliang would know that he had stolen the Ming Dragon Picture. There must be someone else, which is meaningless.

For this reason, he was not too cautious. After checking in the secret room and finding no other important objects, he held the snitch in one hand, jumped out of the library while the guards were patrolling, and then turned back along the original path.

The original plan of the Night Terror Hall was to take the snitch out of the palace and then find a corner to put him down.

But when he climbed over the palace wall of Mingle Palace and came to the palace where the Queen Mother lived, he found an old lady who was very noble and drunkenly walking outside the palace. She seemed to be looking for someone along the way:

"Where are the people..."

?

Just by looking at her dress, Ye Jingtang knew that this must be the sixty-year-old wife of Emperor Liang. There was a hint of astonishment in her eyes. She lowered her head and pulled away the mask of the unconscious snitch - as expected, she had red lips and white teeth, was feminine and handsome, and inside the black night clothes, She was still wearing a gorgeous nightgown.

"No wonder……"

Ye Jingtang's eyes were in disbelief, and he understood where the snitch came from. With the intention of sending the Buddha to the west, he quietly came to the dormitory where no palace maids or eunuchs would disturb him, and placed the snitch on the verandah. He also helped to take off his night clothes before leaving silently.

Not long after he walked out, footsteps sounded from the verandah at the back, followed by words:

"Xiao Junjun, Junjun? Are you drunk?"

"Hiss...Eh?...Hey?! Where is the person..."

"Junjun, what's wrong with you? Who is he? The Ai family has been looking for you for a long time..."

"Ahem, um... I was drunk just now and accidentally fell asleep lying here. I dreamed that there was a vicious bully who robbed my things..."

"Hey, are you scared? Are you afraid? Are you scared?"

…

Ye Jingtang didn't know what to say when he heard these disgusting words. He didn't want to stay for a quarter of an hour and quickly left the palace...
