The gloomy wind gusted, seeming to indicate that tonight was extraordinary. The arc moon hung at the end of the horizon, its sharp angles piercing the earth, the sky was torn in half, and the stars dimmed their light inadvertently, and the weak

Shine is not enough to illuminate this land.

The palace fell into a deep sleep, and several figures suddenly appeared in the empty high pavilion. They were Huangfu Qing and Dugu Linqi. They made no sound, blending into the night as naturally as the moonlight.

This afternoon, after confirming that they would assassinate the princess tonight, they immediately arranged all the funeral arrangements, the escape route, the supplies they carried, the traces that must be eliminated, and the people who would accompany them... The meticulous arrangements not only did not make people

I feel relieved, but on the contrary, I am full of fear and frivolity. There is only one prerequisite for these things - leaving the palace alive.

"We are almost there." Huangfu Qing stretched out her hand to stop Dugu Linqi. The two stopped walking, and the towering palace was close in front of them.

"...I didn't see any archers." Dugu Linqi looked around for a long time, but there was no trace of Tai Hongduo on the roof of the tall building.

Huangfu Qing also noticed this anomaly. He turned around and looked behind him, but Tai Hongduo did not go around behind him.

"Where has he gone?" Huangfu Qing whispered in confusion.

He was prepared for something unexpected to happen, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Before they could sneak into the palace, the disappearance of the archer had already added a suspenseful color to the assassination.

Dugu Linqi thought that a stalemate outside the palace was not an option. He winked at Huangfu Qing, and the two of them started to move at the same time. Although they had never done anything together in these years, they still formed a perfect tacit understanding after getting along for many years.

, they can understand each other's intentions with just simple words, and sometimes a look is enough to convey the message.

The sky is dim, and the cold stars form white skeletons staring at the earth. The thin clouds that occasionally drift by are pierced by the light, and the dense holes are like locusts passing through.

Dugu Linqi took a deep breath. There were many guards outside the palace. If possible, he really wanted Bianliang Tu to let them enter the palace through proper channels.

It's a pity that the man has been arrested and thrown into prison, and his life and death are unknown. In any case, Kui Liang will sneak into the prison tomorrow morning and kill the prisoner - he already knows too much about the secret sect and should not live anymore, Huangfu Qingming said in front of him

He promised to rescue him and escape from the capital, originally intending to silence him on the way, but he never expected that Zhong Yan and Pang Zheng would get there first.

The outside of the palace was guarded by soldiers. There were many ways for them to pass through the Forbidden Defense consisting of human walls, but it was difficult not to alert the experts in the palace. In addition to the Gonglian team protecting the princess, there were also several people trained by the court.

The Rong Xia Ke stood firm at their respective positions. Fortunately, this royal manor was large enough. If there was any movement on one side, the other side might not be able to arrive in time.

But even so, they cannot place their hopes on uncertain factors such as enemy distraction.

Huangfuqing used Qinggong to climb up to the eaves and peeked at the palace from the side.

The wind and dust rustled, hitting the red wall with a dense sound. Apart from the fearsome army, there was no other life in the wide street. The orderly soldiers and weapons guarded the dignity behind the red wall.

Silence and restlessness, two completely opposite atmospheres shrouded the eyes at the same time. Armors were rubbing against each other. There was no conversation among the soldiers. Even eye contact was rare. They all had gloomy faces and were worried about the future. It seemed that only

At this time, they are like beings with souls.

"There are fewer people there," Huangfu Qing said, pointing to a corner on the east side of the palace, "the weak spot."

"I saw it." Dugu Linqi nodded. He has no murderous character, and the soldiers in front of him have no grievances against him. If they were killed in order to assassinate the princess, he and the princess would not behave like evil spirits.

There was a difference. Before setting off, he had figured out that he would avoid killing as much as possible, but he would still kill someone as a last resort - this was the minimum standard he set for himself.

The weak point on the east side is simply a God-given opportunity. There are very few soldiers there, and their patrols are not rigorous. There will be flaws in a short moment. This flaw is so difficult for ordinary people to find, but Zhiyan can show the way.

Hit the point directly.

They move quietly.

At night, any slight movement would be magnified hundreds of times. Although he had not yet entered the palace, Dugu Linqi was already on alert. While observing the situation ahead, he looked for Tai Hongduo's figure. Pressing the button a few times before

From the experience of entering the palace, the archer never hides his position. His position is quite clear. He is not only the princess's personal guard, but also a deterrent to everyone. I can't see him tonight. What happened?

Dugu Linqi thought about it, and at the same time found a good position, as close to the east gate as possible. The soldiers patrolled back and forth, and he estimated the time in his mind.

Now! He and Huangfu Qing rushed out suddenly, and the two of them rushed into the palace like a gust of wind. One of the soldiers made a surprised sound, mistakenly thinking that a strong cold wind had just blown. The soldier looked around and froze in place.

After a moment, he shook his head and continued walking along the established route knowing that he was bored.

"Nothing dangerous." Huangfuqing smiled, reassuringly.

"Shhh - look there."

The two of them were shocked by the sight in front of them. How could there be such a messy scene in the palace? There were rubbles everywhere, dry blood and soil mixed together, and an exquisite palace was shattered by an exaggerated impact.

, there are many broken corpses on the ruins, men, women, old and young, probably ordinary people who could not escape the impact. This is not the key, the question is, why did the palace suffer such an attack?

Dugu Linqi crept close to the ruins.

"It happened not long ago." Huangfu Qing picked up a broken piece and weighed it in his hand. There was not much dust on it, and the blood cakes had not been weathered and fell off. Considering that it had rained in the capital a few days ago, the ruins

It shouldn't take long to form.

"How on earth did this happen..." Dugu Linqi saw that this masterpiece came from the hands of a certain warrior. In the past few days while he was working on the truth about the Duguyuan Mountain murder case, someone had already entered the palace. He took a step back

, the damage was quite serious, and logically there should be some rumors.

He looked at Huangfu Qing, who shook his head. He had never heard of anything like this.

"Maybe it happened in the past two days." Dugu Lin said curiously, "If it happened earlier, both Bian Liangtu and Peng Que should have told us."

"It makes sense." Huangfu Qing nodded, "Ignore this for now and find the princess quickly."

They carefully walked around the ruins, secretly sighing at the man's destructive power.
