When the time came, in almost an instant, countless forces swarmed in from all directions, surrounding the entire Nine Gate City.
The tallest place in the imperial city of the Great Qin was the Star Seizer Tower located in the middle of the imperial palace. The tower was about three thousand meters tall, and one could overlook the entire imperial city from the top of the tower!
The Star-Seizing Tower had a special mechanism that allowed them to climb up to the top without human help.
The most unusual thing was that without Chunyu Hong's orders, no one would be able to enter the Star Plucking Pagoda as they wished.
But right now, the lights of the Star-Seizing Tower were flashing.
Chunyu Hongkong stood at the top of the Star Seizer Tower, looking down at the earth. There was always a meaningful smile on his face. Beside him was an old servant who was also his trusted aide, Eunuch Hao.
”Your Majesty, it will be very lively tonight. If Your Majesty wants to stay here and watch, you should wear a cloak. The Star-Seizing Tower has the advantage.”
”Old Hao, don't tell me that even you think that this move of mine was wrong?” Chunyu Hong said as he tightened his cloak.
”This old servant doesn't dare, but this matter will make tonight's imperial city stained with blood.”
”Every change of dynasty will not be calm without any ripples. When I stepped onto this step back then, wasn't my hand also stained with fresh blood? ” Chunyu Hong's words seemed to be calm, but everything that was hidden inside made everyone moved.
Eunuch Hao probably knew him, so he didn't say anything more.
Instead, he shifted his gaze in the direction of the Nine Gate Commander. Tonight, the imperial city was very quiet. Only that place was brightly lit.
Suddenly, countless black shadows shuttled back and forth in the surroundings, searching for every possible opportunity to enter.
Some of the imperial guards outside were also walking. This man was wearing the uniform of the imperial guards and was standing on a sentry post. Suddenly, he heard the drumbeat of midnight drums.
The moment the person beside him died, he suddenly opened his mouth to emulate the sound of a bird. Soon after, he saw a black shadow emerge from the bushes.
In the other few spots, there were also several black-clothed individuals who climbed up a large tree. They all had a type of barb on their wrist as they fired something at the high wall. An extremely fine thread was sent out, allowing these black-clothed individuals to slide into the tree at an extremely fast speed.
There was another place, on the upper reaches of the river, not far from the city of Nine Gate, where these men had dived into the river, clad in water.
This river is the same source of water as the rockery living within the city of Kyimentu. In other words, he could infiltrate the Nine Gate Infantry Commander's mansion via the water route.
Right inside the residence of the Nine Gate Infantry Commander, there was a car parked there with the incense burning in its mouth.
An old man with a hunched back was struggling to get the incense into a bucket and poured it into a cart beside him.
”Hurry up!” The guard was dissatisfied with the smell of the incense and hurried to urge it.
The old man agreed, but his speed didn't increase at all. When he heard the drum beats, he slightly raised his head and looked towards the sky. It was time.
Then there was the big rice jar in the kitchen. The lid of the rice jar was suddenly forced open from the inside as a person came out from the pile of rice. From behind the bundles of firewood came a few people.
Mu Yunji brought along Situ, Chu, and Ye Wen. The four of them stood high in the sky on their swords. They could see what was going on below, but no one could see them.
Because of Qu Ning!
Surrounding them, Qu Ning spread out into a ball of spiritual energy, blocking everyone in its path. It was like an invisible light screen.
”There are quite a few people here.”
When they counted, there were actually five groups of people. If you added in their soy sauce, wouldn't that make for six groups of people? But what was the origin of this? Even Mu Yunyun, the person involved, could not calculate it.
Soy sauce requires the awareness of soy sauce, they just watch, regardless of other things.
Jin Yu Lie was playing chess alone in his study when he heard the report from the dark guard.
”Master, Lady Mu and Leaves also went to the Nine Gate Regional Palace.”
He frowned. The person who promised to come home on time and never stay the night had actually spoken. It seemed like the lesson was still not enough.
”She said nothing.”
”I've asked the lady before. She said that she only went to play soy sauce and did not participate.”
Soy sauce? Only this woman could say such a ridiculous thing. Jin Yu Lie helplessly shook his head, she wanted to take a look then and there.
Five groups of people rushed to a place above the residence of the Nine Gates, the dungeon!
Tonight, for safety's sake, the commander of the Nine Gates sent all the men to the dungeon. There was only one way out, which was easy to defend but hard to attack. They were not afraid of being robbed.
He was arranged in a room at the very end of the dungeon.
Right now, he was hiding beside a young servant, tugging at his sleeve without letting go, asking in a low voice, ”You promised me, you have to protect my safety!” I don't want to die, I really don't want to die. It was with great difficulty that I managed to obtain so much gold.
The young servant had a strange smile on his face. His eyes were full of disdain, but he still threw another pill into the mouth of the master.
There was a commotion outside, and when the Nine Gate Infantry Commander, who had been sitting by the door, heard the sounds of a battle, he suddenly opened his eyes, drew his sword from his waist, and shouted to his guards: ”Guard them! If anything happens to him, even if His Majesty scolds him, the nine clans will not be able to protect him! ”
It was unknown which group of people had been discovered. He was engaged in a battle with the guards.
These men in black weren't many in number, but each of them was an expert. This was because everyone's destination was only one place. Very soon, other black-clothed people joined in the battle.
Upon seeing that there were other black-clothed men, the first group was stunned for a moment before clashing with the second group.
The guards of the Nine Gate Infantry Commander were all stunned. Everyone was dumbstruck as they watched the two groups of men in black fighting to the death.
He heard something wrong and hurried out. Take a look!
