There was no moon tonight, the sky was covered by layers of thick clouds, and not even the slightest bit of moonlight could be seen. The clouds were so low that it was difficult to breathe.
Chu Yunge himself felt that her movements had lightened a lot. To go to the northeast corner of the courtyard, she had to go through an alley. That alley was so narrow that she could only go through one person.
Chu Yunge's heels had hit the ground first, then slowly turned into the soles of her feet, causing the entire process to be nearly soundless. This was because even the night shift and the guards at the Imperial Palace were extremely tired, and normally, she would steal some laziness to lean against the wall or stand and sleep for a while before dawn.
In any case, with so many guards in the palace, sleeping with just one or two would not be a big deal. However, with everyone thinking this way, it gave Chu Yunge a chance.
Chu Yunge took off her shoes, touched her feet to the cold ground, and slid across the stone wall with her body. Chu Yunge held her breath as she rubbed her body against the wall, staring closely into the eyes of the guard. Because the alley was too narrow, the pleated fabric of Chu Yunge's clothes almost brushed past the guards' clothes.
Taking in a deep breath, Chu Yunge flattened her body before burrowing in. After burrowing in, she didn't even dare to breathe loudly, and the ice beneath her feet barely felt anything. The deep autumn night was almost no different from Dong Ri's.
Using the same trick, Chu Yunge passed through the end of the alley, stepped on the dried up grass in the courtyard, and arrived at the northeast corner. It was so late at night, and her light colored clothes were really too eye-catching.
Chu Yunge was squatting behind the fake mountain, and her shoulder had been patted once. Chu Yunge's head made a huge noise, and with a whoosh, she immediately stood up and turned around to make her move. Her series of movements was extremely coherent, and only when her hand had almost reached Feng Yi's neck, did she clearly see that it was Feng Yi's face, and her heart finally relaxed.
He touched his beating heart and leaned against the wall. Had she been deaf recently? Why couldn't he hear anything? Feng Yi had already gone behind her back, but she didn't even know that if this went on, the next person who came behind her would not be Feng Yi, but someone from the Worryfree Hall. He didn't pat her shoulder, but directly inserted the blade into her neck …
I don't even know how she died.
After fiercely taking two breaths, Chu Yunge looked up and down at Feng Yi, and like him, Feng Yi walked over with a shoe in one hand, wanting to beat him up.
"Clank, clank, clank …" The sound of a gong could be heard. Right now, it was the true midnight. All of the sleeping people in the courtyard had also been woken up by the gong. Chu Yunge and Feng Yi huddled up behind the fake mountain, waiting for the person who was beating the gong to walk far away.
The fake mountain was just such a big place, and it was simply unable to fit even one person. Feng Yi carried Chu Yunge in his arms, and helped him put on her shoes.
Chu Yunge turned her head, why is this person so strange! Feng Yi seemed to have seen through her thoughts, her mouth was right next to Chu Yunge's ear, and she used an extremely soft and soft voice to whisper next to Chu Yunge's ear, "Girls can't give birth when they catch a cold …"
Fuck you! You can't have children, your whole family can't have children! The Little Volcano in Chu Yunge's heart was already close to erupting, and whether or not she could give birth to a child was related to him! She seemed to be saying something no matter how she looked at it!
Feng Yi nodded with a beautiful face that was covered by a veil.
Chu Yunge stretched her head out to take a look, then knocked on the gong and left. The guards stood up and went back to sleep, the wall in front of him was not high, it was only about two meters, and there were no tiles on top of it, it was just a bare wall. Chu Yunge jumped up and flipped over with her bare hands, being extremely careful when she went down, he scuttled around on the wall for a long time, before finding a soft spot on the wall and jumping down.
Chu Yunge tried her best to recall the map in her mind. Back then, when Imperial Protector Princess entered the tunnel, she had seen the map on the wall of a house. It was just that too many years had passed and her memories had changed owners.
Chu's underground palace was connected to all directions. Some roads led to the outside of the palace, while some roads led to each other from the underground. In fact, there were tunnels underneath almost every important palace.
Therefore, as they walked, nothing happened. Chu Yunge followed her vague memories and looked for an entrance beside the ancient well, which was probably the closest place to here and the most likely place to go down.
Feng Yi followed behind Chu Yunge. He could vaguely see that in the distance, there were specks of light, and with one move, Chu Yunge was pulled back into her embrace. The two of them huddled up in a blind spot at the back of the room.
"Hah." The patrolling Worryfree Hall soldier said in a loud voice, "Say, it's already the middle of the night and we've already surrounded the palace like a bird. Who else could it be?
Hey hey hey, don't say that. If anyone else hears, we're done for.
The leader waved his hand, "I knew it, even if the Ling Yuan came, I would still say it. I was so tired that I didn't even look like a bear, patrolling around.
"Stop complaining, you will really be heard by others!"
The leading man did not seem to be satisfied, as he did not have the intention to stop. "I don't know what the Ling Yuan's Guardian is thinking, but we can just slaughter the Emperor and the Prince. We don't need to defend the city like this all day long!"
Prince? The power and influence of her Worryfree Hall were simply too enormous. In the end, Chu Yan still had not fully grown his wings, and had not taken over Chu's army, so he was unable to resist her Worryfree Hall.
As the grumbling sounds drifted away, Chu Yunge firmed her resolve to accelerate her actions. If this continued, even if that Ling Yuan Reverend didn't have the heart to end his father's life, he would be forced to do so in the long run.
Chu Yunge waved to the people behind them, the two of them bent their bodies and quickly passed through the palace walls. Along the way, they met many patrolling people, and avoided them one by one.
The density of patrols was so dense that every minute or two a person would stop and hide for a while. Sometimes, the patrols would form a line even before they finished patrolling the streets, not counting the ones at their posts.
It had only been ten minutes since they walked out of the Lady's Hall and reached the ancient well. Now, it had already been almost an hour and they had yet to enter the tunnel.
After walking for a while longer, Chu Yunge squatted down in front of them and sat at a corner. In front of them was an ancient well, and practically no one in the palace knew about this place, because this well had already been sealed for a long time, and also because Imperial Protector Princess used to play here and there in the palace when they were young, they had an impression of this place.
In front of him was a big clearing, and in the middle was the ancient well, but Chu Yunge did not move at all. The clearing had its own benefits, which was that she could quickly approach the ancient well and no longer have to hide and hide.
However, this also meant that their field of vision had widened. When they ran out, they would be discovered that they had nowhere to run to, thus they were directly exposed. Right now, they could see a person standing in front of the ancient well, but they were surrounded by darkness, and didn't know if there were any eyes in the dark.
Chu Yunge picked up a rock from the ground and threw it forcefully through two alleys, smashing it onto the wall of an unknown building.
"Whap." The guard was startled awake and ran over to check on the situation. After all, he was sleeping on his feet and no one could lie down like he was sleeping.
"Who is it!" The guard walked into the alley and picked up a stone from the ground. He felt that something was wrong. The wall beside him was made of brick, so why did a stone suddenly drop?
When the guards entered deeper and deeper, they found that there was no one inside the alley, they used swords and sabers to clear the way. Once they found the alley next to Chu Yunge's place, there would be no one around.
The guard's voice was loud, and if there was an accomplice, he would have rushed out immediately. However, until now, he was the only one here.
Gradually walking to this alley, the guard saw Chu Yunge and Feng Yi on the ground at the mouth of the alley. She was about to pinch the signal ball until she felt a chill down her throat.
Chu Yunge didn't even move from his original spot. Feng Yi stood up from behind her, and used her height and arm's advantage. Her brown dagger slashed across the guard's neck, causing blood to spurt out from her arteries.
Chu Yunge and Feng Yi hurriedly retreated, "Just kill him like that, it'll be hard to do anything in the future."
The people from Worryfree Hall had just been a little negligent. Using this method to kill their guards, wouldn't that cause them to tense up again?
Feng Yi directly cut his major artery, the blood spraying all over the floor and the walls. How would they have time to clean up the things and corpses?
Feng Yi dragged his body to a relatively hidden place, "First find the tunnel."
Chu Yunge nodded and ran towards the Ancient Well. In fact, he didn't have much of an idea in his heart, if a signal detonator suddenly exploded somewhere in the darkness, they would really be too late to cry.
After tossing and turning for over an hour, there was not much time left. Chu Yunge ran as fast as she could to the side of the Ancient Well.
