[Rat and Cat] Han Palace Autumn

Although the time was tight, the two of them were not impulsive and reckless people, and they spent a few days in the palace to recharge their batteries. They also found out the transfer of the guards according to their knowledge, and countered the change of defense around Chongxiaolou. With a general understanding.

At the same time, the investigation of "Heaven's Punishment" in the city is becoming more and more strict. At night, the orderly pace of armor rubbing against the wall outside the wall is often heard.What's more amazing is that the two of them were clearly hiding in the mansion, but the mysterious ally was constantly active outside, which made the atmosphere in Xiangyang Palace more and more tense.

"Ha, this man is really capable. If we can get to know each other again this time, Lord Wu will definitely have a drink with him!" Bai Yutang looked at the chaos in the mansion and laughed. This "ally" is very knowledgeable. As if they guessed that they were going to attack, they spared no effort to hold back more troops, which caused a lot of discussion in Xiangyang city these two days, and people with mysterious expressions and whispering could be seen everywhere on the street at any time.

What is even more astonishing is that although it is obvious that they are short of manpower and not considered to be highly skilled in martial arts, the increasingly massive encirclement and suppression has fallen into a situation that is even more confusing than before-of course, it can also be faintly felt Seeing his strenuous effort, I am afraid that it is a matter of success or failure, and it will not last long.

Zhan Zhao also marveled at this person's outstanding ability, but neither he nor Bai Yutang had the energy to put too much thought on this matter.The meeting of the Chu Qingyuan was held every day, and the two of them echoed the others in their obedience, and occasionally uttered a sentence, bringing the guess and plan to a more unreliable place, which can be regarded as sharing a little pressure on the hard-working companions.

With such a silent tacit understanding, the two parties slowly pushed the task to the imminent position. Seeing the day when the action was about to take place, Zhan Bai and the two had experienced many storms, but they were somewhat nervous when facing this fierce situation.

"Hey, Mao'er, instead of thinking about what you have and what you don't have, you might as well help Fifth Master think about how to deal with your big brother with a icy face after this incident."

Zhan Zhao rolled his eyes at him. At this moment, they were in Xiuyak Pavilion, and they set up a small table outside the door. The messy endgame was placed on it, and the two of them were facing the chessboard at the same time. Apart from thinking, they couldn't help but seem to have something on their minds Heavy.

"Yutang..." Zhan Zhao was inexplicably flustered, but he really didn't want to disturb Bai Yutang's state of mind by speaking out at this moment. He struggled for a while, but smiled relaxedly—that's right, what do you want to do, the two of them work together, Could it be that this skyrocketing tower is not worth it?He relaxed a little, and didn't care so much about Bai Yutang's teasing, he just laughed and scolded: "Play your chess game, this chess game is so tight, I wonder if Yutang has any tricks?"

On the chessboard, the black, white and white chess pieces fought in a chaotic manner, one white piece had a slight upper hand, and the other was a black piece that surrounded and killed the general. Looking at the overall situation, it was evenly matched, and it was difficult to distinguish between superior and inferior.

Bai Yutang stroked his chin: "This situation is indeed difficult to deal with. All we can do is to hurt the enemy by a thousand, and to hurt ourselves... and to hurt ourselves by a thousand... No matter how you look at it, it's a situation where both sides suffer."

"That's right," Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, took a sip from one of the teacups, "Baizi expects the enemy to attack first and stick to a corner, while Heizi is aggressive and spreads all over the place. If he can exert pressure to the end, although he may win by a narrow margin, his vitality will probably be seriously injured—" — It is not easy for Bai Zi to break through, even if he is a counterattack, the victory is still difficult to determine."

"Oh? Mao'er, according to your analysis, Bai Zi is slightly worse, and is in a dire situation?"

"Not necessarily." Zhan Zhao put down his cup and pointed to a corner of the chessboard, "I said before that Bai Zi has the potential to predict the enemy's first opportunity. If there is spare power to use here, it is not impossible to strangle the dragon."

Bai Yutang shook his head: "But the situation is tense, and Heizi is besieging him. It is absolutely impossible for him to leave this bit of energy."

"That's right..." Zhan Zhao sighed, "So this dead game is still a dead game—the palace also has a lot of treasures, and there is such an exquisite collection of chess records. What a coup."

"Hey, what do you want him to do with such a mind-consuming job, let's take a break—who is it!" With a faint cold light, it was nailed to the chessboard with a bang, and the chess piece was shaken into a mess by the strong force, but there was a small kit tied to the tail of the dart.

The two looked at each other, and at the same time felt that aura rushing away, Zhan Zhao cast his eyes on the dart, and stretched out his hand to untie the kit.

"Wait!" Bai Yutang grabbed his hand, "Beware of cheating."

Zhan Zhao smiled: "Yutang is worrying too much, there is no enemy here who knows our identity, not to mention sending letters in this way, I think it may be our mysterious 'ally'." Said another He stretched out his hand to remove the brocade pouch and opened it. There was a piece of fine silk tightly wrapped in the pouch. When he pulled it out and unfolded it, it was able to cover the entire chessboard.

Bai Yutang glared at him, and then moved forward. After a glance, both of them were shocked.

On the silk was a complete structural diagram of the Chongxiao Tower, although not very detailed, it was indeed extremely precious.As if they had found a treasure, the two sat together and studied it carefully.

"Looking at it from this, you must first pass through the corridors on the first floor when you go up to the night. [This corridor must be arranged according to the hexagrams of Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui. True and false, open and closed, they are very different. And in the narrow road, there are intertwined, bright and dark, and so on. And if there is an ambush after going upstairs, even if you want to run, you can't find the exit. You can come in but not get out]..."

Bai Yutang frowned. He is a great expert in juggling tricks. The so-called one leaf falling can tell the autumn of the world. At a glance, he knows the truth, but this skyscraper is more complicated and tortuous than imagined, it is really dangerous very.After thinking for a long time, he slowly said: "We can enter through the Kanmen. After that, there will be no road on the ground, but there is still a road in the sky. As long as you are careful, it will be easy...【Pass this row of corridors, and then you will reach the front of the steps." , the stairs are behind the bottom of the Zhengbei building, just like a horse path. There is an iron gate under the bottom of the stairs, and you can only hide inside. If someone comes, just fasten the cable spring and wait to catch him.] Not to mention the various organs on the second floor Said, all of them are very delicate...the details of this manufacturing are very delicate."

Zhan Zhao said: "The mechanism in the building is naturally extraordinary, but although it is delicate, it is not impossible to pass... It's just that if you want to pass the whole body, it is impossible."

For a while, the two of them were relatively silent. After a long while, Zhan Zhao let out a cough and continued, "The first two levels of organs are as expected. As long as you are careful, there should be no serious problems. It's just that the top level..."

The top floor is where the alliance book and list are kept. The three big characters "Copper Grid Array" are marked on the map, but it is just a warning, and there is no exact situation drawn - presumably it is really secret and difficult to find.However, with the deployment of the following organs, it can be regarded as a great help to the two of them.

Bai Yutang wanted to adjust the atmosphere, so he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Mao'er, it means that getting the right way helps more than the wrong way, and with this formation map, the two of us can be more confident." Seeing Zhan Zhao also showed a relaxed smile, and continued to insist, "The third floor is mysterious, so it's not necessarily difficult to get through, after all, it's the place where books are stored, so the King of Xiangyang is also afraid that a fight will damage his life, so it shouldn't be too much Dangerous."

Zhan Zhao nodded yes, and said solemnly, "Even so, we must not have any intention of underestimating the enemy."

"Of course, of course," Bai Yutang approached, as if he had suddenly thought of something, and laughed, "This guy... is very interesting, his ability seems to be first-class, but his force is too mediocre. These days If it weren't for the expert strategizing and trying their best to protect each other, I'm afraid I won't know how many times I have been arrested—no wonder there was no movement until we came to open the situation."

"Our ally is really very powerful. He was able to find out our identity and obtain such confidential information... Presumably it was because there were no one under him before." , Zhan Zhao is also a little bit dumbfounded—yes, Xiangyang is heavily guarded, and wise people are invisible on the outside, so it is easy to sneak in, but it is really difficult for the inner masters to get in. If the two of them hadn't taken advantage of Yunyang, It may take some effort to get in, not to mention how many Zhanzhao Baiyutangs are there in this world?

Both of them felt that the gloom in their hearts had dissipated a lot. No matter what, it was a refreshing thing to have a comrade-in-arms with outstanding abilities to help secretly.Each of them looked at the silk carefully and wrote it down carefully, then Zhan Zhao summoned his inner strength and shattered the thin silk in an instant.

"Oh, cat, your skills are good." Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and glanced, then sighed, "The fifth master is almost rusty these days, so let's do him a big deal tonight!"

Zhan Zhao saw that he was gearing up and looking full of viciousness, and his big cat eyes couldn't help but curl up: "What Yutang said is that tonight, I'm waiting for the fifth master to show his power."

Bai Yutang waved his fist triumphantly, his eyes fell on the chess game that had just been disturbed by the darts, and suddenly he shouted in surprise: "Cat, look!"

Zhan Zhao leaned over suspiciously, looked at the situation carefully, and was also taken aback.

I saw that the chessboard was in chaos after being shaken by the dart just now, the overall situation has not changed much, but there is a small gap in the siege of Heizi by chance, if Baizi is stabbing from there, it will be a vain fight. When they met each other, it was possible to rush out, just now the surprise soldiers suddenly appeared in the corner, and quietly established the victory.

Zhan Zhao murmured: "This is strange. Although the intervention of an unintentional external force destroyed the maze game, it gave one side a glimmer of life... But what is the solution? The game is not the same as before. , if Bai Zi wants to win, he doesn't rely on his previous strategies... If he is in chaos, everything is in chaos, he must fight back and hide his positions, he needs to fight on two fronts, one in the light and the other in the dark, in order to seize this chance of survival."
