When it was almost dawn, Zhong Qingye, who was still awake, heard a strange noise.【】
I couldn't tell what the sound was, but it sounded like a mouse rummaging through the closet. Zhong Qingye squinted his eyes and glanced up at the sky, which was not yet completely bright. It was estimated that it was not yet five o'clock in the morning. There was silence in the palace.
, the servants who were keeping watch at night were also ordered by her to go back to their rooms. Apart from her, the entire palace was probably an empty city.
Who will be there at this time?
Zhong Qingye felt uneasy, so he took a long sword from the side of the shelf in the study, took off his cumbersome cloak, blew out the candlelight, and slipped out the door gently.
What a coincidence, two black shadows were passing through her sphere of influence, heading towards the back mountain. Zhong Qingye suddenly remembered that she had heard Chun'er say that the back mountain of Prince Rui's Mansion, except for Wuying,
In the forbidden area outside Qi Mo, most slaves were prohibited from going up the mountain, and she had never been there because of what happened these days.
What are these people doing in the back mountains?
Zhong Qingye was puzzled. Seeing that the other party was acting cautiously, he assessed his level and followed him quietly.
There were only two people on the other side. Their whole bodies were wrapped tightly, and even their heads were tightly wrapped with black cloth. But judging from their body shape, they should be men. They were strong and agile, and they quickly shuttled through the palace and went straight to the back.
Go away from the mountain.
These two men were sneaky and seemed very familiar with the layout of the palace as they walked along. Zhong Qingye frowned secretly. Could it be that there are spies among the servants in the palace?
The other party didn't look like an ordinary person. Even if he was sneaking in the dark night, he was still paying attention to the situation behind him. If he were followed by ordinary people, he would be discovered soon. Unfortunately, they met the lurking ancestor. Here
In ancient times, when it came to tracking and counter-tracking, no one could compare to Zhong Qingye who had professional training.
He followed her not far away but not too close, and the other party even went around in circles a few times, but she just couldn't get rid of Zhong Qingye and was bitten by her without even realizing it.
It's a long story, but it actually only took about two sticks of incense. The two of them quietly lurked at the foot of the mountain behind the palace with Zhong Qingye's big tail.
I saw that my eyes suddenly became cramped. The small waterfall flying down shone with silver light in the dim light of the early morning, like an exquisite Luo belt. Because of the high cliff, the waterfall had already spread out before it reached the point.
The rest of the sound is as gentle as a river.
Zhong Qingye was horrified. He expected that the back mountain was not simple. He didn't expect that there was a small waterfall. The cliff was as tall as a sword, pointing straight into the sky. The rocks on the cliff were rugged, and it was difficult to see any plants. There were only clusters of flowers on the top of the cliff.
Covered with a thick layer of green vegetation, it seems out of reach from Zhong Qingye’s perspective.
Just a few meters away from Zhong Qingye, two men in black stopped. In front of them was a rugged mountain road going up the back mountain. The mountain road was narrow and steep, and there was a huge stone at the entrance.
Three big characters, Feiyunbi, were scrawled in bright red color on it.
Zhong Qingye had never known this place, and Qi Mo had never mentioned it to her. After seeing everything in front of her, she suddenly had a strange feeling. She knew too little about Qi Mo.
These things can be considered later. The problem now is that if the two men in black go along the path, according to the terrain, it will be difficult for Zhong Qingye to continue to follow them.
Fortunately, the two men did not go up the mountain, but stopped in front of the big rock, looked around, suddenly knelt down on one knee, and lowered their voices and said: "Master Sheng'an, live as long as heaven!"
"
Zhong Qingye frowned. Based on her eyesight, she did not notice the existence of a fourth person here. Moreover, why did the greetings of these two men sound so weird? Beiqi's greetings should not have this kind of greeting.
Just when Zhong Qingye was puzzled, the stone with the three characters "Feiyunbi" written in cursive script suddenly trembled. Zhong Qingye's heart twisted and he hurriedly shrank to the side, sinking his body as much as possible.
in the dark.
Instinctively, she felt that this "master" was not simple.
More strangely, the big stone that weighed a thousand miles slowly moved to one side. The amplitude was very small, but it couldn't be hidden from Zhong Qingye's eyes. What surprised her even more was that this heavy movement did not make any sound.
Any sound!
This kind of machinery is very common in modern times, but in ancient times it had another name, called a mechanism.
What does Qi Mo do for a living? Doesn't he know that his palace has been set up without anyone noticing? Or does he know it in his heart and just say it out loud?
Zhong Qingye is like a dead thing, lurking quietly in the darkness. There seems to be no movement, but in fact his brain is running rapidly. Who are these people? What do they want to do here? Is there a spy hidden in Prince Rui's palace? In this kind of situation
At this critical moment, what are they doing secretly?
The big stone moved half a meter, and a dark cave appeared in its original position. Thin footsteps slowly came from inside. The man in black lowered his body even further. Zhong Qingye gently stretched out his hand to cover it.
Most of his eyes were carefully opened from between his fingers, and his breathing was kept to a minimum.
For those who are extremely vigilant, it is not too difficult to detect a person based on the sound of breathing and the reflection of eyes. Zhong Qingye can do this himself, so precautions must be taken.
Based on her hearing, she could easily tell that there should be a space in the cave, and that the unknown owner should step on the stairs and come out.
Who is he? Let me be clear!
Zhong Qingye was cautious yet excited.
Suddenly, the footsteps stopped. Before Zhong Qingye could figure out what was going on, a string of laughter with obviously changed sounds came from the cave, like a ghost in the quiet morning.
Zhong Qingye only heard two whooshing sounds in the air, as if they were being cut through the air quickly by some sharp weapon. The two men in black who were kneeling quietly not far away fell down without even a sound.
No.
Love the horror ratio.
Then, the stone that had been moved away soon began to close quickly. Zhong Qingye finally understood that the other party had discovered her. No longer caring about hiding her figure, she jumped out of her hiding place in an instant and rushed forward with a quick step.
Unfortunately, it was a step too late. By the time her fingers touched the stone, the cave had already been closed and she didn't know how to open it. And the two men in black who fell to the ground had a slender black thorn sticking out of their necks.
arms.
The sky was getting brighter and the cold light was biting. Zhong Qingye stood stiffly in front of the stone and bit his lower lip fiercely.
