Chapter 481 Dragon Lake Tiger Cave
In the room on the second floor, Song Nan slowly took off his armor. Mansi put on a black night suit in an orderly manner. With the help of Wang Yong, he wrapped his head and face layer by layer with black cloth. After tying his belt, he carefully checked the two double-tube firearms on the table, and then carefully put them into his skin and put them behind him.
Wang Yong is also dressed at night, wrapped tightly in his head and face, carrying a large bundle of ropes and iron claws hanging on one end of the rope.
"Your excellency, have you really decided to go in person? In fact, one humble position is enough. Wang Yongdao.
"Are you afraid that I will hold you back? It's true that my kung fu is not as good as you, but I'm not looking for someone to work hard. I'm just looking for the truth. What are you afraid of when you don't ask for merit but no danger? I won't hold you back. If you hadn't been clamoring to go, I would have gone alone.
Wang Yong rolled his eyes and didn't say anything. Lord Song had this temper and liked to take risks in person. When he attacked the thief's nest in Taihang Mountain last time, he almost made a leak and was caught alive by Liu Liu. Fortunately, he escaped with his life. This time, he forgot the pain after the scar and had to be in danger.
"Don't mutter in your heart. Hou Dabiao begged me for half an hour, and I didn't promise him? Haven't you been with me for so long, don't you know my temper? Song Nan waved her arms to see if the things on her body were round and random.
Wang Yong blew out the candlelight and silently opened the back window and said, "Your Excellency, let's go."
Song Nan smiled, reached out to support the window sill and jumped. His body fell on the platform under the window like fallen leaves. He slowly moved to the edge of the platform and reached out to climb the stone on the edge. His feet hooked the column of the back porch, and then silently slid down the porch and fell on the grass.
Wang Yong drank silently, concocted it, and soon came to the ground. The two walked on the snow in the dark. After a moment, they arrived at the backyard wall and listened for a while. There was no movement outside the courtyard wall. Wang Yong whispered, "Hou Dabiao will go crazy with people in front of them. These guys behind seem to be I was attracted to leave."
Song Nan said, "Let's go!"
Wang Yong threw a hook and hooked the hospital wall, climbed to the top of the outer wall of the Guanxue Building like an ape, and lay on the wall for a while to observe for a while to make sure that no one was stared. The two quickly climbed over the courtyard wall and disappeared into the streets and alleys of the night.
On a snowy night, the whole Ningxia town fell into a deep sleep early. On the second day, the weather was extremely cold, the ice edges on the eaves were as thick as children's arms, and there was no noise in the streets except for the barking of dogs. The two walked quickly along the stones under the eaves of the street, avoiding the occasional patrol soldiers. Half an hour later, the high wall of Qingwang Mansion stood in front of them.
"We have to enter through the back wall. The buildings in front of the royal palace are dense, and there must be many guards. The map is clearly drawn. Behind it is a garden. Although there must be guards, it is easier to enter." Song Nan whispered.
"Your Excellency is right. Let's go around." Wang Yong nodded and agreed.
The two withdrew back to the streets and alleys, took a big circle far away, and approached the northwest corner of the royal palace from the direction of the Temple Square. Under the cover of a row of entangled trees, the two successfully crossed the open area and reached under the wall of the palace. After gasping for a while, the two looked up, but when they saw the wall more than two feet high standing in front, they suddenly felt great pressure. It was not easy to climb such a high wall, but without Song Nan's encouragement, Wang Yong had slowly removed the rope from his shoulders and gently sorted it up.
Song Nan looked at the direction. This is the northwest corner of the royal palace. According to the map drawn by Zhu Changshun, this should be the back garden of the royal palace. There is nothing else but a few gardeners and handymen who take care of the backyard. Of course, there must be guards in this kind of place, as long as Avoiding guards, the probability of being found is greatly reduced.
Today, Song Nan did not plan to reach the place where Jinyiwei secretly explored Zhu Fu lived before his death. According to Zhu Changshun's map, the yard where Zhu Fu sits and the chores live is on the side of the mind hall. The second entrance is near the third entrance. It is unknown how many guards there are in the middle. .
In fact, Song Nan's purpose is to explore the way, observe the rules of the guards of the royal palace, and find out the real action. It is definitely not possible to be blind. Entering the royal palace is a very secret thing. In fact, even Yang Yiqing did not know that Song Nan would act tonight, although he knew that Song Nan had the intention to explore the royal palace. Song Nan's nonsense in the evening was also a play. He had not only concealed it from Yang Yiqing's family, but also from the servants in the building. These servants were all from the Qingwang Mansion. Song Nan absolutely believed that there must be eyeliner of Anhua Wang's monitoring and eavesdropping, just to not reveal the truth. These people were very cautious and not easy. There will be flaws.
The iron claws wrapped in cotton strips were shouted by Wang Yongwu. With a shout, Wang Yong took off his hand and threw them out. He saw the flying claws rushing straight to the sky with ropes, and then the snow on the wall fell on the wall. Although this movement was not big, the night was silent and seemed particularly harsh.
The two quickly lied on the root of the wall and listened to the surrounding movements. After a long time, there was no abnormal sound. Then Wang Yong slowly pulled down the rope and dragged the hook wrapped in cotton cloth on the wall to make a slight muffled sound. The rope tightened and could no longer be pulled.
"It's done!" Wang Yong whispered, "Be humble first."
Song Nan whispered, "Be careful. There may be sharp thorns and other things on the wall. Don't do anything."
Wang Yong nodded, spit and rubbed it in the palm of his hand. He grabbed the rope and hummed. He pulled his hands up alternately and stepped on the wall under his feet. His body was 90 degrees right angle to the wall. Unexpectedly, he walked up step by step. Song Nan cheered and watched Wang Yong's figure disappear on the top of the wall. After a moment, there was a cat call. Song Nan trembling. God held the rope and learned from Wang Yong's appearance and climbed up step by step. At the top, he was sweating all over. Wang Yong stretched out his thick palm at the edge and pulled Song Nan hard, and the two successfully climbed to the top of the wall.
"Adult, be careful. There are spikes under your feet. The humble position has cleaned out these two squares, and there are spikes buried in other places."
Song Nan calmed down and saw that there was thick snow piled up on the wall more than two feet wide, and no sharp thorns could be seen. However, when he saw Wang Yong gently pulling above the snow layer next to him with a dagger, he suddenly saw several spikes coming out of sharp corners, which was very dark and terrible.
The two squatted on the wall and listened to the surrounding movements while looking down. Although the sky was dark, after all, it was the thirteenth day of the first month. The moon was nearly full. There was also a faint light behind the thick clouds. It could be seen that there was indeed a garden below, with many big trees. It seemed that there was no light on the map below. With human voices, several dark houses are not far from the wall, but there is no light in them. Even if there are people living there, they are still asleep. Many courtyards in the royal palace in the distance are brightly lit. If you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of words and silk bamboo. Presumably, someone is still enjoying the nightlife and has not going to bed.
When they went down, it was much simpler. The two slipped out to the end with a rope. After being down-to-earth, Song Nan whispered, "What's inside is the real back garden. This small garden is a barrier between the back garden and the wall. The royal palace is the royal palace, which is not ambiguous at all. If you are People found that they could only be caught in the urn. There must be patrol guards around here. Be careful.
Wang Yong also saw the pattern. The back garden seems too narrow, but it extends along the wall, but the width is too narrow. Under the root of the outer wall, you can see a wall opposite. Obviously, the garden drawn by relying on the outer wall is actually not a real garden, but similar to the urn city outside the gate. Once it is found here, it will be trapped in this narrow place. If it can quickly return and escape, otherwise it will have to wait to die. This structure can not only effectively prevent the thief from entering the royal palace from the back garden, but also make the enemy trapped here and capture it. It can be said that it is ingenious.
The two curled up and stared at the second wall opposite for a long time. Just as they thought it was safe, several dark shadows on the opposite wall suddenly shook a few times, and then more than a dozen people climbed the wall, looked around silently and listened for a while, and then silently turned back.
Song Nan sweated and secretly shouted gladly. Sure enough, there were guards here, and these guys didn't even raise a lantern torch, but just secretly looked at it in the dark. It seemed that they had accidentally exploited the loophole. If these people had emerged when they and Wang Yong climbed over the wall, they would have exploded already. Although the vision is blurred in the night, the moving figure is the clearest target. If it hadn't been for the dark clouds covering the moon today, I'm afraid that it would have been visible under the wall.
High walls, isolation belts, interior walls, guards. After only a few steps into the royal palace, there are so many means. It can be seen that the royal palace is strictly guarded, and the danger is even greater.
What makes Song Nan feel particularly uneasy is that there is no isolation belt in the backyard in the map drawn by Zhu Changshun, which makes Song Nan question the accuracy of the map. According to such an obvious layout pattern, Zhu Changshun either does not know it. Once he knows it, it is impossible not to mark it.
"Your Excellency, let's hurry up. The guards have just emerged and will not show up for a while. How about avoiding this place and walking east for a while and climbing over the inner wall?" Wang Yong said in a low way.
Although Song Nan is full of doubts, she has no time to think about it. Since she has entered it, how can she return from this? She always has to explore it again. So they nodded gently, and the two walked slowly along the root of the wall, avoiding the inner wall where the guard was, looking for a suitable place to climb over the inner wall.
