Chapter 178
Still some distance away from the palace, Tang Yin tightened the reins and stopped TXT download.
Cheng Jin and others didn't understand what was going on, so they all approached him and asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"
Tang Yin raised his head, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "You can't follow me into the palace, and you can't get in. You wait for me on the west side of the palace. I will escape from there when I come out, and then I will meet you again." You guys meet up!”
"Yes, sir!" Cheng Jin agreed, and then said: "Sir, you must be more careful about the latest chapter."
"You too, don't be discovered by the guards patrolling near the palace!"
"clear!"
Tang Yin separated from Cheng Jin and others and went to the main entrance of the palace alone.
Zhong Tian ascended to the throne by regicide. He was afraid that he would fall into this trap, so he paid great attention to the security of the palace. Although the entire palace was not at the level of a formidable enemy, it was still full of open and hidden sentries. Patrols of palace guards can be seen everywhere.
Now Tang Yin's clone has returned to Zhong Sang's appearance. After arriving at the palace, it really feels like he has arrived at his own home as he walks in with a swagger.
As soon as I got close to the palace gate, I heard someone shouting loudly from the palace wall: "Stop! Who is that person?"
"It's me!" Zhong Sang raised his head with pride and looked at the guards on the palace wall.
The guards above poked their heads to take a closer look and immediately recognized his identity. The leading guard smiled and said, "It turns out to be General Zhong! General Zhong entered the palace late at night. Is there something important?"
"Nonsense?!" Zhong Sang scolded: "It's nothing important. I'm not going to bed so late. Why are I here? Open the door!"
"Oh...General Zhong, allow me to report to the king..."
Before the guard officer could finish his words, Zhong Sang shouted angrily: "Why am I here to report? I've delayed important things, and I want your fucking head!"
The guard officer secretly vomited his tongue. He was so frightened that he did not dare to delay any longer. He personally got off the palace wall and ordered the guards below to open the palace door.
In fact, even at night, the gate of the palace would not be closed. It was just that Zhong Tian had a guilty conscience and was afraid that some regiment would suddenly rebel and enter the palace.
"General Zhong, please calm down. I will also act according to the rules." After opening the palace door, the guard came out to greet him.
Zhong Sang turned over and dismounted, chuckled, ignored the guard, just threw the reins of the horse to him, and walked directly into the palace without saying anything.
When Tang Yin was the commander of the corps, he had never even entered the palace. However, he had a general understanding of the structure of the palace through Zhong Sang's memory.
He still doesn't know where Wu Mei is being held. After entering the palace, a patrol of guards passed by him. Zhong Sang reached out to stop him and asked the team leader: "Is Wu Mei in the palace now?"
When the team leader saw that the visitor was Zhong Sang, he did not dare to be negligent. He hurriedly bowed and saluted, and replied respectfully: "Yes! Not long ago, His Highness brought Miss Wu into the palace."
"Where was she imprisoned?"
"This... villain doesn't know."
Zhong Sang frowned, waved his hand and said, "Go!"
"Yes! General Zhong!"
The team leader looked at him inexplicably and led the team away. It was no secret that Zhong Tian wanted to marry Wu Mei. He didn't understand what Zhong Sang meant when he came to the palace late at night to find Wu Mei. However, this was a family matter. He didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Even though Zhong Sang was just a regiment commander, his status was extraordinary. No one dared to stop him when he was walking in the palace. He asked three patrol teams in a row before he found out that Wu Mei was taken into the harem, and it was also Zhong Tian's bedroom. He knew what it meant to take her there without asking.
At this time, Tang Yin was even more anxious, walked away and walked towards the harem.
When he was approaching the harem, he suddenly stopped. The harem was an important place. Even if Zhong Sang was Zhong Tian's nephew, he couldn't just break in. If you want to enter the harem, you have to change your identity. Thinking of this, he looked around. At this moment, a palace maid walked slowly from a distance.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly chased after the palace maid. After he got close to the palace maid, he slowly slowed down and gave way to the patrolling guards. Seeing that there was no one around, he suddenly used Shadow Drift and was behind the palace maid in an instant. , the dark fire condensed in his palm, and his palm pressed silently to the back of the palace maid's neck.
The palace maid didn't even scream. In an instant, her eyes turned deathly gray and her body fell softly. At this time, Tang Yin's dark fire immediately changed from soul burning to death burning, burning the palace maid's body, and finally only A wad of laundry remained. Tang Yin picked up the clothes, rolled them up casually, and threw them behind an old tree. When he came out from behind the tree again, he had transformed into a palace maid.
Not only did he look exactly the same, but he even walked with a graceful posture. If he didn't use the skill of insight, no matter from which angle he looked, he was just an ordinary palace maid.
After changing his identity into a palace maid, he walked to the harem.
Sure enough, the guards did not stop or interrogate the palace maid, and did not even take a second look.
With the memory of the palace maid, Tang Yin understood the topography of the palace even more, and went straight to Zhong Tian's palace without taking unnecessary detours.
From a distance, one can see that Zhong Tian's palace is brightly lit, and maids carrying trays come and go from time to time.
Seeing this, Tang Yin made a plan. Instead of walking in directly, he followed the departing maids, blended in, and entered the back kitchen of the palace. Like the other maids, he also picked up a tray and put several plates on it. After cutting the fruit, he followed the maids to Zhong Tian's palace.
Mixed in among the girls, Tang Yin successfully entered the palace.
Zhong Tian's bedroom was the original bedroom of Feng King Zhanhua. The space inside was huge and the decoration was splendid. At this time, Zhong Tian was sitting in the middle, and sitting next to him was Wu Mei, whom Tang Yin was looking for so hard.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Tang Yin still walked towards Zhong Tian unhurriedly, but his heart was gradually rising.
Through Zhong Sang's memory, he knew that apart from the many guards around him, the four people in civilian clothes behind Zhong Tian were not simple. These four people, together with the two doormen who guarded the cell door in Zhong Mansion, were all from the same background. In Shenchi, the four people who stayed with Zhong Tian were also the best among the six.
One by one, the maids placed the trays on the table in front of Zhong Tian, then lowered their heads and carefully exited the palace.
Zhong Tian's attention was not focused on them, only Wu Mei was left in his eyes.
Wu Mei is naturally charming, and she is seductive from the very core. If she looked like this in modern times, anyone who saw her would suspect that she was the wife of someone high-ranking official and wealthy person. She has a fatal attraction for men. Even Zhong Tian, who is of the same generation as her father, cannot resist and is attracted by Wu Mei's charm and beauty.
As for wooing the dancers to his side through marriage, in Zhong Tian's opinion, it became secondary.
Zhong Tian had a smile on his face, sometimes toasting to Wu Mei, and sometimes delivering the strange dried fruits, fruits and snacks on the plate to her, except that he didn't go to feed her himself. His appearance was exactly the same as Zhong Sang's, as the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. , People are divided into groups!
Wu Mei's charming face was cold, without the slightest smile, and her brows were tightly knitted. She was anxious, secretly worried about what Zhong Tian would do to her next.
At this time, it was Tang Yin's turn to put down the tray. Now he and Zhong Tian were very close, only a table apart. Killing him was just a matter of waving his arm. How could Tang Yin not be tempted?
Just rescuing Wu Mei would reveal his identity, killing Zhong Tian and then rescuing Wu Mei would still reveal his identity. Since the results are the same, why should he miss this great opportunity? As long as Zhong Tian is dead, the rebellion of his subordinates will not be a thing to fear. Thinking of this, Tang Yin's mentality changed, from simply saving people to stabbing first and then saving people.
As his thoughts turned, murderous intent emerged naturally.
Almost at the same time, two of the four people behind Zhong Tian shook their bodies. They both raised their eyes and looked at Tang Yin with a strange light shining in their eyes.
Tang Yin had sharp eyes and could see clearly. He screamed inwardly, "That's the art of insight." Before he had time to think about it, his right palm holding the tray instantly turned into a long hand knife. Without any warning, he threw away the tray, pointed it at Zhong Tian's forehead and stabbed it fiercely.
Zhong Tian didn't react at all, and didn't even know that Tang Yin's hand knife was close to his vital point. But at this moment, a retainer behind him flashed to his side in an instant. His movement was so fast that it could be compared with Shadow Drift. There was also a wide and long spiritual sword in his hand. He waved his arm and the spiritual sword hit Tang Yin's hand knife.
There was only a crisp sound in the ear, and the knife that Tang Yin thrust out was deflected and almost missed Zhong Tian's temple.
So fast! What a high level of cultivation! Experts will know if there is one as soon as they take action. Tang Yin's eyes showed a hint of shock.
Only then did Zhong Tian realize that someone was trying to assassinate him. When he saw a palace maid standing in front of him, her right hand turning into a long knife, he instinctively exclaimed: "Monster!" Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and his body that was sitting on the mat was rubbed back repeatedly, and at the same time he screamed: "Assassin! There is an assassin!"
Wow - Following his cry, there was an uproar inside and outside the palace. The maids ran out and the guards came in. People crowded and bumped into each other. The order was extremely chaotic.
At this time, another retainer behind Zhong Tian who used insight slowly walked out, blocked Zhong Tian's approach, looked directly at Tang Yin, and said expressionlessly: "Shadow clone? If you have the guts to commit an assassination, why don't you have the guts to show up." While he was speaking, a spiritual sword that was exactly the same as his companion's appeared in his hand. His shoulders swayed and he jumped directly over the table. The sword in his hand turned into thousands of rays of light and stabbed Tang Yin's vital parts.
"I will destroy your clone and see where your true body is!"
Tang Yin was secretly shocked, not because the other party used a powerful skill like Bleeding Soul Sting as soon as he came up, but because the other party used it too casually. Blood Soul Sting is already an advanced skill in the light spiritual martial arts, and ordinary spiritual cultivators have to use it. This skill requires concentrating spiritual energy first, but this person can easily use it with a raise of his hand. His cultivation level is so high that he may not be lower than himself, but he has also reached the realm of spiritual heaven.
