[Rat and Cat] Han Palace Autumn

In the dead of night, it was the darkest time before dawn.

The street was as silent and cold as ever, and in the wing of the palace, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang opened their eyes in the darkness at the same time.

Neither of the two made a sound, they only exchanged eye contact, and then quickly got up, Bai Yutang changed out of his white shirt honestly, and wrapped himself tightly in the dark night clothes, Zhan Zhao also finished changing, The thin and slender body wrapped in tight clothing clearly contained amazing potential and explosive power.

After a while, two black shadows floated out of the high wall of the palace like light smoke. The surrounding guards didn't even feel the slightest movement of the wind, and they still stood firmly against the wall with serious expressions. There is a faint tiredness on the face - the intensive mobilization and siege in recent days has made their nighttime tasks more difficult, and the search of the whole city is quite labor-intensive work. Finally, the thieves stopped their operations again tonight, as if they ushered in the law Like a sexual holiday, everyone subconsciously relaxes, and fatigue emerges uncontrollably.

The route from the palace to the hidden place of the Chongxiao Tower has long been familiar to the two of them, and they flew straight to the nearest straight line. It was not abrupt, and the guards and soldiers passed by without paying any attention. If it weren't for someone who is proficient in formations to see through the whereabouts, this skyrocketing tower would not be found anyway.

As the soldiers approached the city, the two of them did not feel much tension - the so-called fearlessness in the face of danger is exactly the difference between a national soldier and a mediocre general.

Looking at each other, they drew their swords almost at the same time, jumped up, and floated into the building through the Kanmen.

Menneiguo saw the same drawings during the day. Bai Yutang took the lead, followed by Zhan Zhao. The first floor was guarded by humans. With their lightness and vigilance, it was easy to go around in the dark. Turning around, thanks to the blueprints, he didn't run into any dead end. It only took a moment to get under the connecting wooden ladder, and no one was alarmed during the period.

In this way, the narrow trapped place between the first and second floors was useless, and he kept his vigilance and jumped up one after the other. In the blink of an eye, he went up to the second floor.

The second floor looks very empty, and there seems to be no danger lurking in it, but the two of them dare not relax at all. Compared with the less skilled tower guards below, the indiscriminate hidden weapon mechanism here is even more troublesome-not to mention In other words, the higher the tower goes, the stricter the security measures will be. After all, there are many people downstairs, and the drawings are the most detailed. It almost clearly marks the journey along the way, but the second floor is quite different. , just a few strokes to highlight a few important weapons, but as for how to trigger or where it is located, it is blank.

Zhan Zhao frowned, since he entered the building, he could smell a special fragrance, and there was nothing suspicious about it through investigation.However, I also understand that it is impossible for the King of Xiangyang to have any leisure time to burn incense and welcome guests in the Chongxiao Tower.In this regard, he knew by no means as detailed as Bai Yutang, and it was difficult for him to ask, so he asked all the questions at this moment.

"I'm also puzzled..." Bai Yutang said in a low voice, "This fragrance smells like a rare herb 'Purple Mist' that is hard to find in Miaojiang, but it's impossible... this purple smoke is the most It is famous because it can be made into an extremely precious secret medicine, which has the miraculous effect of life and death, human flesh and bones. Although the rumors are slightly exaggerated, it is true that it may firmly protect the heart when a person is about to die. Half of the person's internal energy is exchanged, and there is also half a moment of severe pain that makes life worse than death-but the pain is almost fleeting, and it will not kill the person, and the internal energy is even less worth mentioning. It cannot surpass life...so this herb is so precious that even Lord Bai only hears its name, but does not see its shape."

He said such a long paragraph in one breath, and he was really puzzled by this absurd situation. No matter how you think about it, it is impossible for the old man from Xiangyang to spend a lot of time to protect the lives of those who broke into the building... Anyway Can't it be for that half of the internal strength?This outrageous guess is really too ridiculous, not to mention that Ziyan Luo needs to be combined with other precious herbs for it to work, just its miraculous effect of holding back life, no matter how you look at it, it is more important than half of the internal strength, right?

"Yutang, don't think about it," Zhan Zhao stopped him, "Since this fragrance cannot be resisted by kung fu, what's the use of knowing more about it? Anyway, before we came here, we ate Aunt Lu's Baidu Dan, and the smell was just a burst of fragrance. Even if there is any abnormality, it should be resolved."

"The cat is right." Bai Yutang cheered up, "Let's just ignore it, maybe it's because of the old thief's suspicion. What's important now is the various institutions that are emerging one after another at this level."

The two cheered up and carefully walked towards the stairs step by step.After taking a few steps, they heard a soft sound, and the two of them leapt together vigilantly, and saw a large buffalo needle flashing faint blue light whizzing towards them like locust rain, and Bai Yutang pulled out a bag from his waist. A large piece of specially made leather bag, with the head of the bag swung around, all the fine needles are received into the cloth bag, but there is only a dull and dense light sound, which will not alarm the warriors guarding the tower.

After doing this for a while, the foreheads of both of them were already sweating. There are really many hidden arrows here, and it is difficult to guard against them. If you have to seal them so that the people downstairs can't detect them, you have made sufficient preparations in advance, and destroyed them in time before the hidden weapons were fired. Many organs are also consuming a lot of internal energy at this time. Although they haven't seen their popularity yet, they still feel faintly struggling and feel that they are quite difficult to support.

"Hmm..." Without noticing for a while, Bai Yutang was hit by a spear dart on his left arm. Fortunately, there was no hook on the dart. Under the light reveals a strange luster.

Zhan Zhao's face tensed up, and he hurriedly gave him acupuncture to stop it, Bai Yutang gritted his teeth, the rapidly spreading venom made him slightly dizzy, but fortunately, he immediately felt a warm force of medicine rushing up from his limbs and bones, quickly dispelling the menacing force of toxins.Taking a breath, he patted Zhan Zhao's shoulder to show that it was harmless.

Zhan Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down and continued to move forward with him, but it was rare that he stubbornly insisted on taking more vigilance in more directions, Bai Yutang shook his head, and let him go.This is not the time to be brave, the two of them take turns to rest, which is always more ingenious than working hard together.

With a sound of "duh", the sharp long sword flashed suddenly, Zhan Zhao turned his head, and saw Bai Yutang blocked a flying arrow from the dark for him, grinning, his white teeth gleaming.

Zhan Zhao also smiled at him, suddenly his expression changed, he pulled the man by the neckline and leaned up in embarrassment, a row of steel nails swept from behind Bai Yutang whizzed past their heads, his internal force collided from the side, The steel needle wobbled and flew obliquely, and fell soundlessly towards the window.The two looked at each other, their clear eyes were like water waves, frost and snow in the darkness, lingering and pale.

However, the manpower is sometimes exhausted, the arrangements behind are getting more and more dangerous, and there are fewer and fewer traps that can be broken in advance, and the two of them are getting more and more injuries. If it is not for the protection of Mrs. Lu's Hundred Poison Pills, I am afraid that they have already been exhausted. strength.What's more frightening is that the layout of the second floor is self-contained, and it can be said that it can move the whole body. You need to go down in one go, and you can't stop too much on the way, otherwise, if there is anything wrong, you will be shot by a hidden weapon. danger of becoming a hedgehog.

After finally reaching the stairs, both of them felt relieved, fell to the ground exhaustedly, gasped heavily, and after the internal force reciprocated a few times, they struggled to support each other to stand up, the tentacles were all wet, I don't know if it's sweat or blood.

The third floor is even more ignorant, so it is better to take a break on the second floor where the formation has been broken, the two of them simply lean on each other to recover their internal strength, and at the same time apply a little medicine to the wounds all over their bodies—although time is tight, but Sharpening the knife does not make woodcutters mistaken, and they also need to face the next challenge in a better state.

Half a moment later, the breath adjustment was completed, and the two looked at each other. They both saw the firmness in each other's eyes, nodded at each other, took a deep breath, and jumped to the third floor.

The third floor is calm, with [window lattices on all sides and eight sides], the inside of the formation is clear, and the ground is also solid. There is neither alliance letter nor defense, and it looks strangely showing a simple and peaceful atmosphere.

"[Eight Directions Array]..." Bai Yutang murmured, "This formation should have been lost long ago."

Zhan Zhao looked around, stood where he was and didn't dare to act rashly. Hearing his words, he couldn't help asking: "No matter what formation, is there a way to break the formation here?"

"Let me try..." Bai Yutang looked around carefully, a little eager to try, "This formation is used to hide things, and you can break through the formation if you find the eyes of the formation, and explore what you're looking for. Cat, you step back Finally, be careful with some extra stabs in the back."

Although Zhan Zhao was worried, he was indeed inferior to Bai Yutang all the way through Qimen Dunjia, so he could only take half a step back and focus on his surroundings.

Bai Yutang didn't move, just stood on the spot and closed his eyes to think, opening his eyes from time to time and gesticulating, shaking his head, muttering to himself, calculating the yin and yang spells in the building.

After a long while, he clapped his hands violently, [Fei moved forward and opened the eight window lattices one by one according to a mysterious trajectory, and each opening and closing angle was different, the moonlight suddenly shone in from outside the window, moving between the eight windows The reflections gathered into a bunch and shot straight to the middle of the empty floor, and a dark brocade box was clearly in sight. 】

Bai Yutang laughed loudly, and was about to fly over to pick up the brocade box. Zhan Zhao was waiting by the door, for some reason, his heart suddenly thumped, and he yelled, "Yutang, go slow!"

However, it was too late, the moment Bai Yutang landed in front of the center, the ground on which the brocade box was placed slammed open, and the floor turned over, revealing a large net underneath and clusters of swords glistening in it.

This is the time when those who broke the formation have exhausted their old strength and have yet to generate new strength. If they have nowhere to stay, they will definitely fall into the net, but the brocade box will slip through the net and land safely on the ground below.

A good Bai Yutang twisted his body abruptly in the air, stretched out his long arms to pick up the fallen brocade box, put it in his arms, and was about to fly out obliquely, and cast another copper net head-on from the ceiling. It should be compatible with the lower net and trap him in it for life.

At the critical moment, Zhan Zhao let out a clear whistle, and the sword soared into the sky. Ju Que used his internal strength to form a truly dazzling sword light, splitting the copper net above his head in half, and quickly sent the leather bag containing the hidden weapon on the second floor to the At the foot of Bai Yutang, the person followed closely, turned around and kicked the flying copper net left and right, and fell to the other side of the hall.

Bai Yutang saw the right timing, stepped heavily on the leather bag with his toe, and stepped it straight into the sword bushes below. He used his own strength to fly into the air again, and landed beside Zhan Zhao.

[Hearing the sound of gongs downstairs and the noise of people, he said: "There are people in the copper grid array!"

One of them shouted loudly: "Shoot the arrow!" It was as if locusts were raining in his ears, and the copper net was like a hedgehog, he couldn't move for a long time.

Then I heard someone shouting: "Stop the arrow."] Downstairs, I immediately stepped forward to check with torches, only to see that the weapons and hidden weapons in the formation were scattered and mixed into a ball, but there was no one.
