the enlightener says

However, those people seemed to be unable to hear his words, and their feet did not even stagnate at all, and they still walked towards this side.

"Damn it, I met a few people who didn't know how to live or die." The captain drew out his knife and walked towards those people cursing, cursing as he walked, "It's not like looking for death—"

All of a sudden, those people flashed bright sword lights from their cloaks one after another!

The captain's head left his neck almost in an instant, soaring into the sky. The bowl-sized wound was like a fountain of blood, continuously gushing out bright red blood. The captain's body took a few steps forward. With a flick of the knife in his hand, it seemed that he was about to strike at the man in black.

But he couldn't finish the last sentence after all.

2 Chapter [-] Killing in the Night

All the imperial guards were petrified at this moment. They even suspected that the scene they just saw was fake. The leader who had been joking with them at first, the captain who planned to take them to the brothel after the change of defense, Died as simply as that?

But soon, the silence at the gate of the city was broken, and the archers who reacted first screamed with all their strength, and the feathered arrows in everyone's hands were already on the bowstring: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Let the arrows go! Send the alarm! "

As soon as the words fell, a group of archers let go of their hands, and the feather arrows were driven by the huge force of the bowstring, and they shot out in unison.

But those few people covered in black are really like ghosts at night. They walked extremely fast and always avoided the feather arrows by a hair. When the lights of the knives in their hands opened again, It has already entered the crowd of the forbidden army.

Immediately, two arms holding the knife flew into the sky.

"It's a practitioner! It's a practitioner!" Someone shouted: "Send the alarm!"

But the black shadow followed like a shadow, and cut into the back of the forbidden soldier who was running towards the tower, cutting off his spine at once, and before he could even utter a cry of pain, he became a corpse .

All the imperial guards gathered their formation and retreated. If there was only one practitioner, they could still work together to deal with it, but obviously these people's cultivation bases are not weak, and it can be seen that they have been attacked They have been specially trained, they advance and retreat quite lawfully, and even cooperate with each other. The strength of ordinary sergeants of the Forbidden Army alone is really unmatched.

"End formation! Form formation!" Someone roared.

But a few men in black were fighting left and right among the chaotic crowd, and Tang's forbidden army, which had not experienced war for many years, could not organize an effective defense in such a chaotic situation.

They can only be like a group of shivering sheep, allowing a few wolves to wantonly slaughter and bite.

And just when they were almost in despair, there was the sound of armor colliding on the road, and a team of a hundred imperial guards was running towards the gate of the city at a neat pace.

"It's our brother!" The archer fired three arrows in a row, but they were all cut off by the man in black with his knife. Desperate, he saw this lineup and was immediately overjoyed, loudly saying: "Defend the city gate! Reinforcements are coming! I'm going to sound the alarm!"

His shout provoked a man in black, who was running towards him with a long knife full of blood in his hand, the archer gritted his teeth, turned his head while running, and the feathered arrow shot out again, but Under such circumstances, it was natural that the head was a little less accurate, and it slanted towards the shoulder of the man in black, and was chopped off by him.

But the archer was not discouraged. He didn't shoot arrows to hurt the enemy, and he couldn't easily hurt a practitioner with such a cultivation level. What he wants now is to stop the man in black for a moment and give himself Make time, now that the imperial army has joined the battle group, no matter how powerful these men in black are, it will be difficult to deal with such a huge centurion, and he only needs to sound the alarm...

While running forward, he temporarily turned back to shoot arrows until he emptied the feather arrows in his quiver, and finally came to the top of the city. At this moment, his hands were already bloody from the bowstring, but he didn't feel it at all. to pain.

The watchtower is just ahead, getting closer, getting closer.

The joy in Bow Soldier's heart became more and more intense, but his chest suddenly hurt, and the edge of a long knife suddenly emerged from his armor.

The man in black suddenly drew the knife, and the long knife left his body, leaving a pool of splashed blood on the ground with a flick of his hand.

Bow Bing only felt that something hot was flowing out of his heart continuously. Later, he began to feel cold, shivering, and his body became weak continuously until he fell to his knees.

He lowered his head and saw that his brothers, Pao Ze, were already making the final resistance, but it was a pity that it was still a battle of besieged beasts. The imperial centurion was very strong, calm, and behaved in the same way. The formation was meticulous, and everyone was like a star. gears, and when they meshed and rotated, what they drove was an unbelievable beast.

But the beast turned its claws on its own people.

"You... who are you..." Bow Bing's face twitched, he saw the man in black looking at him coldly with a pair of cold eyes.

"You don't need to know." The man in black kicked him off the tower, watched him turn into a cold corpse on the ground, and then snorted coldly: "Tang Kingdom, the sky is about to change."

The guards of the imperial guards who had risen to resist at the gate of the city were finally cleared away. Two men in black held up the heavy bolt of the bronze gate. The murderous intent poured into this majestic Tang Palace.

Qin Ke, who was hidden in the darkness, squatted in the corner, looking at the gate of the file library not far away with some dumbfounding.

It turns out that Eunuch Feng's so-called "leading away" is actually such a method.

The few people who have been guarding the file warehouse all year round are holding their stomachs and holding their belts at the moment. The bright lights set off their green faces. It is obvious that the grinning crotons mixed in the food have begun to work.

This kind of method is really cheap, and it sounds like a child's prank, but it is still tried and tested, and it is practical.

For those Li family members, they probably thought that today's food was not very clean and they spoiled their stomachs. These family members and nobles have been staying here for many years, and they are already very impatient, and now they are suffering from diarrhea. Those who don't watch the door have long been thrown out of the sky by them.

Before that, there was actually a team of guards from the Imperial Army patrolling the surrounding area along a special route, but they had been transferred away by the so-called "I lost my mother's cat" for a seemingly lame but flawless reason.

And Qin Ke saw a flame in the distance, flashing, flashing, and flashing about three times in a row, Qin Ke nodded, the technique of Xunfeng unfolded, and with Qi and blood running through his whole body, his body suddenly became incomparable Rigid—this is to prevent any hidden weapons from inside from attacking.

With a light jump of his whole body, he crossed a distance of one foot all at once, and within a few jumps, he had already turned around and entered.

The moment he entered, Qin Ke was startled. In the case file warehouse shrouded in darkness, countless bookshelves stretched into mountains, and the files placed on them were layer upon layer, as if there was no end at all. What's more, right in Qin Ke There was a table in front of him, and there was a person lying on his stomach, snoring loudly.

Qin Ke frowned. It turned out that there were guards not only on the outside of the document storehouse, but also on the inside. Fortunately, this man was useless now. I don't know if he was asleep or fainted.

But this is not something Qin Ke needs to consider. Since the person arranged by Eunuch Feng can put laxatives in the food of the two people outside, naturally he can also put drugs in this person's tea.His biggest problem now is to find the few letters he needs in this pile of files.

"Mysterious name..."

The letter can only occupy an insignificant small area, and even Jing Yu and the others don't know the exact location. Qin Ke uses the faint light of the fire folder to compare the wooden sign hanging on the bookshelf, and keeps moving forward until he reaches the copybook. deep in the library.

However, when Qin Ke really realized the meaning of the words "finding a needle in a haystack", he still couldn't help but curse: "Damn... such a big place, when will it be big enough to find?"

But it's not too late to scold, Qin Ke still quickly rummaged through the bookshelf.

Although Croton is exerting his strength firmly now, no one can guarantee the specific time when they will return, and Qin Ke not only has to find the letter, but also has to escape without anyone noticing...

If possible, he really didn't want to use that secret path. Although Gao Yishui told him several times later that his own life should be the most important thing in everything, he still couldn't restrain himself from lamenting those who lost their lives in the deep palace. The "seven sevens".

One advantage is that those few letters are all soft silk books, and most of the case files are placed on bamboo slips, which saves Qin Ke a lot of trouble. Naturally, Qin Ke can specialize in those silk books. It also speeds up the browsing of the silk book content as much as possible.

Chapter 261 Goodbye Bandits

The piles of words are like groups of villains jumping on the silk books. After reading too much, Qin Ke even felt that the group of villains came alive and were dancing around. Qin Ke knew that he had read too much too quickly. But right now there is no better way.

Fortunately, he was taught by his master Zhuge Wolong since he was a child, coupled with the hard work in the Imperial Academy, he gradually developed an ability to fight against words. Even if he was tired, he could still rub his eyes. Continuing to look down, after a while, he had read all the silk books on several bookshelves.

But it is also a pity that he did not find any clues about the location of the artifact.

Just as Qin Ke picked up the silk book and was about to continue browsing, there was a "squeak" sound from the door of the case file library!

Qin Ke's wind-seeing skills never stopped for a moment. Although such a small voice was not very obvious to others, it sounded like thunder to him. He immediately squatted down and extinguished the torch in his hand. , a little surprised and uncertain.

Could it be that those two people came back?

How can it be so fast?

Just when Qin Ke had a few thoughts in his mind, another low voice came from the door.

In the darkness, a person whispered: "This is the document library that is said to be difficult to enter? Just such a useless guard?"

Apparently they heard the loud snoring.

Another person said with a smile: "It's probably because the people of the Tang Dynasty live too happily, their minds are full of money, wine, and a bunch of trash." After finishing speaking, the two let out piercing laughter at the same time.

Qin Ke squatted behind the bookshelf, touched the dagger in the boot tube with one hand, and he had already recognized that the person who spoke first was Wu Ting, who had been chasing him so hard at the night of the Lantern Festival!

Why did this bandit come here?If you want to hack him to death, you don't have to chase him to the palace, do you?

"impossible."

Qin Ke made a conclusion right away, even if they had a grudge, they wouldn't chase into a place like the palace, and Jing Yu's plan was so thorough that it wouldn't leak out so soon.

Then there is only one possibility...

They have the same purpose as themselves.

Inferring this possibility, Qin Ke was not happy.

If the two people really came for the letter, then there must be a fight between the two sides. He knows the strength of Wu Ting. Relatively speaking, as long as he spends some effort and time, it is not difficult to beat him. As for defeating him in a short period of time, you can also use the Qijin Sword.

However, although the Qijin Sword is powerful, Mulan also made it clear at the beginning: "With your current cultivation base, you still can't exert the true power of this set of sword techniques. As long as the opponent is prepared, it will be difficult for the Qijin Sword to maintain its original strength." Sharp."

This is also the reason why Qin Ke has been unwilling to abuse the Qijin Sword. Wu Ting did not come alone. If he uses the Qijin Sword, even if he can defeat Wu Ting, but there is a person helping him, he may not be able to hit Must kill.

When Wu Ting slowed down and joined hands with another person, and he was prepared in his heart, it was very likely that he would be entangled.

And in this case, once the two sides fight, who can guarantee that they can control their moves?Although the royal palace is not my home, no compensation is required for smashing it, but if there is a fight, the movement will attract the attention of the guards...

I'm afraid that the three of them will have to put their lives in this file library.

After a few thoughts, the two were getting closer and closer. Qin Ke knew that he had no time to hesitate. Before the two of them got close, he raised his head and looked at the tall bookshelf. jumped on it.

The bookshelves in this case file library are very high, about three feet in length, and the highest floors can only be touched by people climbing up high stairs. You can climb straight to the highest point by stepping on the bookshelf grid, and the top of this bookshelf is obviously a wonderful hiding place.

Qin Ke found a familiar feeling in Heidongdong's file library, as if he was in the deep cave in the tomb of King Ye. Although he was always feeling a little uneasy, the darkness was also his best cover. Breathing energy and blood, slowing down the heartbeat, Xunfeng's technique even tried to isolate the sound of his breathing. Now he seems to be an inconspicuous stone in the dark, which is hard to detect.

And the two of them fiddled in front for a while, and walked out in the direction of Qin Ke with a clear purpose. Along the way, they heard the sound of letters being thrown to the ground from time to time.

Qin Ke secretly cursed, bandits are bandits after all, if they do this, aren't they afraid of being noticed by those guarding the file library afterwards?

Even if they find the letter, how confident are they that they can leave easily?It's unlikely that they also have a map marking the secret passages of the palace.

"Master said he wanted to find some letters. What do you think are the uses of those letters?" Wu Ting searched. He couldn't read, but it was said that there was a spoon-like pattern drawn on the silk script. Just follow the pattern to find it. , there should be no mistake.

And beside him was Lu Pu, the mountain bandit who also followed Qin Ke that day. He thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "How do I know? Master's mind is always very difficult to guess."

After flipping through a bookshelf, Wu Ting said with a soft smile: "That's right, I always feel that the Lord found us and used us only for his own purpose, and we are just his stepping stones."

Lu Pu smiled and said, "Don't you volunteer to be this stepping stone?"

Wu Ting paused slightly, snorted and said: "Of course it's voluntary. Being able to work under my master is far more comfortable and more beautiful than being that brute force bandit before."

Lu Pu smiled wryly, not knowing whether he should agree with his statement, so he could only continue flipping through the bookshelf in front of him, and said, "You bastard, you don't have any ink in your belly, you only think about comfort and scenery in everything."

"Haha." Wu Ting said with a smile: "My family is poor and I can't read. If someone taught me when I was young, I might be a high-ranking official now, or I would be a general..." It seemed that he didn't think it was representative, so he thought about it Xiang suddenly said loudly: "Just like General Gao Changgong!"

Although the world's impression of Gao Changgong is that he leads the army and wins every battle, but after all, he was born in a noble family and has read poetry and books since he was a child.

Lu Pu quickly went to cover his mouth, looked around in astonishment and furtively, and complained: "Hush your voice! You are too brave! It's okay, I know you have always admired the general, but why do I always look up to you?" Do you think it is difficult for others to accept your favor? You bastard, I am afraid that you have more blood on your hands than me. Maybe someday when General Gao brings troops and horses, he will kill you, a bandit, by the way. go!"

In the darkness, the corners of Qin Ke's mouth curled up slightly as he was lying on the top of the bookshelf, somehow feeling that these two people were very interesting.

But if it's interesting, it's interesting, if he shows up at this moment, he won't have the chance to live in peace with others, I'm afraid Wu Ting will pull out the hatchet from his waist and slash at him ten or twenty times on the spot.

"However, a simple mind like yours saves a lot of trouble." Lu Pu said softly, "I'm just a little worried that people like you will throw us all away sooner or later."

"That's for the future." Wu Ting didn't bother to think, "Maybe you can follow him to the Great Wall, anyway, there must be something to eat."

Lu Pu smiled and said, "Going to the Great Wall? You have a good idea, why are you going? Going to rob houses?"

"Why not?" Wu Ting said as it should be: "I only know how to rob in my life, let me go up to the top of the Great Wall to fight with those cold-blooded beasts? I am not stupid, why should I protect the people behind my ass? I am not an old hen."

"It's because you think so, so I don't think you can be a general in this life. And now I think you are a fool at all..."

Lu Pu shrugged his shoulders, and didn't bother to argue with Wu Ting. The two turned over a bookshelf and walked towards Qin Ke slowly.

Chapter 262 Night Fight

The speed of the two people can be said to be fast, but compared to Qin Ke, the information they got is much more accurate, and they even know that there will be a pattern of spoons on the letter, which is much more convenient. bookshelf.

Qin Ke also understood from the words that the two were looking for the "spoon" on the letter, and what Qin Ke thought of was the spoon-like pointer of the "Five Elements Sinan" in the old shopkeeper's box. I have the same goal, and I feel a little worried.

If they found the letter, would it be possible for him to snatch it?

What to be afraid of, that is, just after turning half a circle these days, Qin Ke has already heard Lupu's ecstatic voice: "I found it! The spoon!"

Wu Ting heard the voice, immediately threw the letter in his hand back to the shelf, and ran over: "Show me."

The faint light of Huozhezi was flickering, but the two of them could clearly see the clearly visible spoon pattern on the silk scroll through this light, and below it was the map of the Big Dipper, even though they couldn't understand it However, it is enough to be sure that this is what Lu Ming wants them to find.

"That's right, this is what I want!" Wu Ting said with a bit of joy in his voice, "Just this one?"

"More than that, there is also a small stack, all put together, but I don't know how to read, and I don't know if this is related."

"Then take them all away!" Wu Ting's style has always been so simple and direct, "Let the master see and know."

Lu Pu nodded, and also agreed with Wu Ting's statement. The two picked up the silk books that were placed together on the bookshelves, and prepared to stuff them into their chests and take them out of the palace.

Qin Ke lay on the top of the bookshelf, opened his eyes, and took a deep breath. He knew that if he continued to remain indifferent, the letter would really belong to them. If there was no letter, the whereabouts of Wuxing Sinan would be like Where would he find the needles in the ocean?

Thinking of this, the qi and blood in his body had been revived, and his body, which was as silent as a stone, had regained its strength in a short period of time. He clapped his hands on the bookshelf, and his whole body flew into the air!

Wu Ting and Lu Pu were startled by this sound, and they were about to raise the fire folder to check, but Qin Ke had already fallen from the air, and his light body hit Wu Ting's shoulder like a boulder, knocking Wu Ting to the ground immediately. Fall on your back!

But Qin Ke used Wu Ting's body, kicked his legs on him, picked up the letter in Wu Ting's hand, spun in mid-air, and rushed straight in front of Lu Pu.

Lu Pu didn't have to prepare for a while, but felt a black shadow flashing in front of him suddenly, and when his hands were empty, he knew that the stack of silk books in his hand had been snatched away. Hit towards Qin Ke.

Qin Ke originally wanted to run away by grabbing the letter before they could react, but obviously he still overestimated his speed and underestimated Lupu's reaction ability.With the whistling sound of the wind, Lupu's fists were obviously angry, and the power they brought was not small. At least Qin Ke thought he didn't dare to rely on his body to fight hard, and he was holding the letter in both hands, so he could only fight with his arms crossed. block.

With a sound of "bang", Qin Ke felt a pain in his forearm, and because he had no time to stabilize his figure, he was forced to take a few steps back.

And Wu Ting stood up with support, and shouted at Lu Pu: "Old Lu, stop him!"

Lu Pu snorted coldly, and said, "I'm doing it even if you don't tell me."
