Chapter 1646 Visit the Imperial Palace at Night! (1)
? Chapter 1646
"In addition, according to the statement of the imperial guard we found, the heads of those people were all slapped to death, and the clothes on them were also very strange. They were neither enshrined in the palace nor the imperial guard. It doesn't look like a palace person at all, but it's a bit..."
The eunuch hesitated to speak until later.
"Like an assassin?"
Wang Chong helped him to say the rest of the words.
"yes!"
The eunuch bowed.
The imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty can be said to be the most heavily guarded place in the world. It is impossible for outsiders to easily enter it, and these people died in a miserable state. Normal people would not be like this at all. Under the assassin all the way.
"More than that, according to our investigation, around that time, near the Taiwu Hall, some temples suffered great damage. At that time, a group of craftsmen were dispatched from outside to the palace for repairs. According to the The palaces are in disrepair and have been struck by lightning, according to the
At this time, another eunuch in brocade clothes also took a few steps forward, bowed his head and said:
"But there has been no rain at all in the palace for more than a month, and naturally there will be no lightning strikes!"
For the rest, the Jinyi eunuch didn't say any more, half of many things are enough. And one place is suspicious, but if there are two, three, or even more suspicious points, and they all point in the direction of Taiwu Hall, then all this is worth pondering.
Wang Chong didn't speak, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and his expression was extremely dignified. If the information collected by Yang Zhao and the others is accurate, there is no doubt that an assassination took place near the Taiwu Hall.
Then it is related to the distance between the Hall of Supreme Martial Arts and the Hall of Supreme Harmony where the Holy Emperor is located, and the fact that the palace itself is of a very high level, and only important figures such as empresses and princes can enter. Moreover, this palace is precisely one of the places that Eunuch Gao usually goes to as identified by Xiao Lizi, and many things are ready to come out without saying anything.
"How is it possible that he has such courage!"
At that moment, Wang Chong's expression was solemn, his heart was heavy, and there was a strong uneasiness.
When I saw Xiao Lizi before,
Wang Chong had this feeling in his heart, and now, the most disturbing speculation has been confirmed.
——Wang Chong never thought that someone would be really daring to assassinate Gao Gonggong, the number one eunuch in charge in the world, in the imperial palace with iron walls and impregnable walls, and judging from the final result, they still It succeeded, although these people paid the price with their lives in the end.
Wang Chong could no longer imagine how high the cultivation level of these people was to hurt Gao Lishi.
But it was far more than this that worried Wang Chong. Gao Lishi is loyal to the Holy Emperor. Given the current situation of the Holy Emperor, it is impossible for anyone to easily mobilize him. If there is no reason for him to go, it is impossible for him to appear in the Taiwu Hall.
What's more, the assassination was such a big matter, and several palaces in the palace were damaged, so it didn't stir up any waves in the palace.
And judging from the information obtained so far, when the incident happened, the surrounding guards must have been dispatched in advance, otherwise there would be no noise.
And looking at the entire palace, it is self-evident that those who have the ability to do this are self-evident.
"Eldest Prince, are you so impatient for the throne?!"
Wang Chong secretly said in his heart.
...
Time passed slowly. Whether it was Wang Chong, the Confucianism Sect or the East Palace, all parties maintained a rare restraint and tranquility during this period, but behind the brief tranquility was hidden even greater waves.
"Ok?"
At night, the night was dark, and in the southwest corner of the palace, a low voice came faintly from the darkness.
"Those people have just passed by. It's been so long. This is an opportunity we finally seized. We must not miss it. The prince attaches great importance to this matter!"
In the darkness, another voice said.
"Don't worry, they can't run away. In front of us who are deaf and dumb, no one can run away!"
In the darkness, the voice from before said.
Judging from their voices, these two people are indeed the deaf and dumb people Wang Chong sent to the palace. The technique of "Heavenly Vision, Earth Hearing" performed by the two of them is not only extremely wide-ranging, but also meticulous, even deep underground. The biting and wriggling of the insects could be heard clearly. With the cultivation of the two of them, there might not be any more powerful spies than them in the whole palace.
"They shouldn't be able to find us yet, let's go!"
In the darkness, a sharp cold light flashed faintly. The next moment, the light flashed, and two figures flew out from the shadow under the eaves, and disappeared instantly.
And right in front of them, several figures were flying. These people were wearing the armor of the imperial guards, but they did not patrol the streets and alleys like ordinary imperial guards, but flew over the eaves from time to time.
Occasionally, when they landed on the ground, their heads were lowered, and when they encountered patrolling guards, they subconsciously avoided them in advance, as if they were afraid of being discovered.
"What's going on here? How did his skill improve so quickly? We've tried everything we can to weaken him. Could it be that there's something wrong with the medicine?"
The two walked side by side at an extremely fast speed. There was silence in the dark night, and there was no one around. One of the "Forbidden Army" suddenly lowered his voice and complained.
"Impossible! They took those medicines and tried them. They also suspected that there was something wrong with the medicine. They gave a little bit of it to the condemned prisoner in the sky prison. A man with a dragon and a tiger, he didn't pass a few days. In less than seven days, the energy and blood of the whole person is declining, and it is getting worse day by day. In less than seven days, the energy of the whole person is like an old man in his 70s and 80s. He can't even stand up. However, although this medicine is fierce, But it will never kill people, so those condemned prisoners are still hanging their breath. No matter how you look at it, this medicine is absolutely impossible to fake!"
Another "Forbidden Army" shook his head, and said in a deep voice while walking quickly.
"This... we have secretly added so many ingredients to his food and drinking water, but why is it of no use to him? If this continues, once his energy is exhausted, how can we trap him?"
The "Forbidden Army" headed by said worriedly.
"Don't worry, this kind of situation will never happen, Your Highness... As I said there, change him to a different medicine, and get someone with a more ferocious personality. If it is broken, he naturally has nothing to do."
The second "Forbidden Army" said, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"Speaking of which, he really deserves to be the No. 1 chief executive! With the ability he has shown, if he goes a step further, he will be the invulnerable Vajra Body! Fortunately, those people injured him in advance!"
Several people walked forward quickly while talking. After a while, it seemed that they had reached the ground. They straightened their armor and straightened their bodies. After a change of temperament, they quickly stepped into a palace and disappeared, just like the most common Forbidden Army in the palace.
Not long after the two disappeared, two figures suddenly came out from the shadow behind.
"Eunuch, how are you? We brought you some medicine, which can help you recover your strength."
"Cough cough, cough..."
In that palace, a dim light was on, and the voices of the two people could be faintly heard, accompanied by a violent cough.
Outside the palace, at a distance of three or four hundred meters, the deaf and dumb stared at this place, a deep light flashed in his eyes.
"Eunuch? Unexpectedly, they hid Eunuch Gao here!"
The two secretly said in their hearts.
The two people's "Heavenly Vision, Earth Hearing" skills are far more sensitive than ordinary people. As far as their mental strength is, they can only see how many masters are hiding around the palace, almost guarding the place to the brim. , Even with the power of deaf and dumb, he couldn't help but secretly feel palpitations, and didn't dare to act rashly.
"No accident, it's here. Go, report to the prince!"
The two glanced at each other, and quickly disappeared without a trace.
...
Time flew by, and it was the next night in a blink of an eye.
After the time of Hai hour in the evening, there was a flash of light in the palace of the foreign prince. Not many people noticed that a figure rose into the sky like a kite, but it only flickered a few times, and then disappeared immediately. And in just a few cups of tea, that person had already appeared at the foot of the majestic imperial city.
"In order to eliminate this chaos, we can only risk our lives."
Standing under the high city wall, looking up at the top of the wall tens of meters high, Wang Chong thought to himself.
The progress in the palace was faster than he had imagined. The pair of martial arts masters who were deaf and dumb really deserved to be tracking masters in the sect world. Even Wang Chong didn't expect them to gain something so quickly. Soldiers are expensive and fast, so the night will be long and dreamy. Wang Chong made a decision almost immediately to visit the palace at night.
Now Wang Chong has completely changed his outfit. He is not wearing the usual uniform, nor is it the usual casual clothes or formal dress. Instead, he is dressed in night clothes, with only two eyes exposed.
How can you get a tiger cub if you don't enter the tiger's den, Wang Chong made up his mind, no matter what, he must find Eunuch Gao.
The walls of the imperial palace are very high. At a glance, they look like towering giant peaks. They are straight and steep, but for Wang Chong, all of this is not a problem.
"Whoosh!"
The light flashed, and Wang Chong didn't see how he was going to do it. He immediately appeared on the wall like a flying swallow, crossing many spaces. The wind howled above the city wall, and gusts of air whizzed past. It was not the first time for Wang Chong to enter the palace. He was already very familiar with many places in the palace. The palace gives people a completely different feeling.
The entire palace, far and near, could hear the vibrations of countless armors. It was really five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry.
And Wang Chong just glanced at it, and found that the entire imperial palace was filled with countless spirits, soaring into the sky, hiding many masters in the open and in the dark, really like a dragon's pool and a tiger's lair.
