Chapter seven hundred and seventeenth thunder and rain
When Liu Mingzhi heard the faint sound of bells coming from the study courtyard, he suddenly stopped drinking tea and raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
Wenren Yunshu on the left also had a pretty face, and she subconsciously put down the teacup at the corner of her lips and followed her husband's gaze in the direction of the study.
If you heard it right, it was the sound of a bell.
Who dares to disturb people's dreams in the middle of the night by swinging a bell in the inner courtyard.
The third princess on the right is one of the few Liu Mingzhi ladies who only knows some boxing and kicking skills, but is not a high-level expert. Naturally, she did not hear the ringing of bells two courtyards away like the other two.
Just seeing the actions of her husband and sisters, she subconsciously looked into the distance.
However, except for the lanterns swaying in the wind and the gentle chirping of insects from time to time in the flower beds, there seemed to be nothing worthy of their attention.
"Husband, sister Yun Shu, what are you looking at? Is there anything in the flower bed?"
"Ah? Haha... It's nothing. I just think the moonlight today is very beautiful. The moon hanging high in the sky is big and round. Just like Yan'er, my husband can't put it down!"
"Ah?" The third princess was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up at the bright moon in the night sky. It was so big and round, she couldn't put it down.
The third princess, who had made some silent remarks, withdrew her gaze and looked at her husband. She immediately reacted when she saw the man staring at the white, tender and towering peaks in her chest with a faint smile.
She raised her hand angrily and lightly hit her husband's arm: "You're not doing the right thing!"
Wenren Yunshu originally wanted to tell the third princess that he and her husband heard the sound of bells coming from the study yard. Seeing the way her husband was paying attention to him, she had no choice but to suppress her doubts and apologize with a full smile.
stand up.
"Yan'er, Yun Shu, you go back to your room to take a bath first, stretch your body for your husband and then go back to rest.
I can fend off you two beauties all at once. If I don’t warm up to my husband, I’m afraid I won’t be able to subjugate you two seductive little fairies today.”
"Bah, you are the monster!"
The third princess spat at Young Master Liu in a sweet voice, and slowly stood up looking at the shy look of sister Wenren Yunshu across from her.
"I and my sister are waiting for you!"
Looking at the beautiful figures of the two women, Liu Mingzhi said cheerfully: "You must clean up your innocence!"
When the sound of the door closing reached his ears, Liu Mingzhi put away the smile on his face, lifted up the Heavenly Sword on the desk with a deep look and hurried towards the study.
As soon as Mr. Liu left, the fierce sound of gongs and the shouts of soldiers came from the palace.
The two beauties who had just undressed and jumped into the bathtub were startled, and instinctively looked towards the source of the sound.
The third princess's wet and flawless body stood up from the bathtub, her beautiful eyes looked towards the front yard blankly: "Sister, it sounds like the sound of the gong from the personal guard. Is there a thief in the house?"
Wenren Yunshu raised his hand and pulled the third princess into the hot water filled with petals.
"Sister, this is not something we women should be concerned about. We just want to bathe in peace. You can't go out like this."
"This...okay!"
The third princess hesitated for a moment, knowing that she really shouldn't go out in this state and that she wouldn't be able to do much good if she went out.
I could only start taking a bath absentmindedly.
The seven people outside the study had gathered together, and each could see the panic in each other's eyes.
"What should I do, Commander? The royal guards are approaching the inner courtyard to surround us."
"Escape separately. I won't say much about the consequences of being captured. Retreat!"
The bright torches and footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the seven people immediately dispersed and leaped towards the roof. They used Qinggong to leap up on the roof.
"The bold thief came to the palace to steal, but he was quickly captured."
The seven people had just flown onto the roof when a dozen figures leaped from the front yard towards the inner yard, the weapons in their hands shining coldly against the moonlight.
The seven people changed directions without hesitation, leaping towards the open defensive position and escaping.
The sound of arrows piercing the air rang out, and when he stood up, his hair suddenly stood up, and he tried his best to run away.
They seemed to be more familiar with the terrain of the palace than the palace guards, and could always find an escape route at critical moments.
Liu Mingzhi's figure flashed frequently on the roof, his eyes never leaving the seven figures.
Seeing the seven people surrounded by strong winds and leaping ten feet, I knew that the strength of these seven people was not weaker than myself, and they were all half-step to the innate realm.
Everyone in the world is a famous master and a famous figure, but they come together to steal from the palace.
I don’t know whether I should say I’m lucky or whether I should say it’s overkill.
After about half an hour of effort, I don't know whether the seven people's kung fu was too advanced or the palace guards were too incompetent. The seven people were chased by the palace guards and a group of masters and finally escaped with excellent light skills.
The palace is hidden in the night.
Liu Mingzhi stopped on the roof of the pavilion, looked at the seven people who were gradually disappearing in the distance, smiled silently, and jumped down to the ground holding the Heavenly Sword.
"Young master, let them all go. They are all first-class, half-step innate masters."
"Well! Let the brothers go back and rest!"
Xuanwu was hesitant: "Master, I don't understand. If you want them to steal successfully, why do you want to alert them?"
"This is the heavily guarded Prince's Palace, not a common people's palace. Something was stolen easily. What do you think if it's you?"
"My subordinates will think there is some fraud involved!"
"Well, let's go back and rest!"
Xuanwu was startled for a moment, then seemed to react, saluted Liu Mingzhi, leaped away and disappeared into the night.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Xuanwu's disappearing back and shook his head helplessly. Compared to Suzaku's intelligence, Xuanwu always seemed to be a little slower in his reaction.
The sound of footsteps was heard, and Liu Mingzhi's expression immediately became gloomy, and he walked towards the footsteps.
"Master!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Song, Sun Mingfeng and the others with sharp and gloomy eyes.
"Caught?"
Liu Song and others looked at each other with downcast expressions.
"Young master is so incompetent, please forgive me!"
"I have neglected my duty, please punish me, Your Majesty!"
"Stupid, is it time for you to plead guilty? Why don't you quickly lead your brothers and cooperate with the military guards of the Governor's Mansion to seal the city gate and thoroughly investigate the traces of this group of thieves."
"I have been ordered to resign from my humble position!"
"Brothers, follow me!"
"Liu Song, you stay!"
"yes!"
Sun Mingfeng led a large number of personal guards and ran towards the outside of the house holding torches. Liu Song sighed softly and nodded to Liu Mingzhi.
"Tomorrow you go and inform Qin Bin that a group of thieves have sneaked into the palace and stole one hundred thousand taels of silver and countless jewels, and reprimand him, the governor of the palace, for his dereliction of duty.
Let him seal off the city and thoroughly investigate everyone entering and leaving.
And spread the news in the city, making the noise louder, but don't take too practical actions.
In a word, it’s the same as chasing these seven people in the house, as long as the thunder is loud and the rain is small!”
"Yes, I understand, little one."
After Liu Song left, Liu Mingzhi rushed towards the inner courtyard.
Before entering the palace gate, Song Qing's figure holding a sword rushed over.
"Third brother, why did you make such a big fuss?"
"It's nothing. A group of thieves sneaked into the house and stole some gold, silver and jewelry. I have sent my soldiers to recover them."
"What? Who is so bold as to come to the palace to steal?"
"It's not clear yet, maybe it's a group of desperadoes! Fortunately, it's just some gold and silver jewelry. No one was injured. Don't worry too much. Just leave it to the soldiers. Let's go back and rest first!"
Song Qing nodded doubtfully.
"Okay, I'll rest assured that everything's fine. I'll go back and rest first. It's just some mundane things, so you don't have to take it too seriously."
"Yes, I know!"
Liu Mingzhi didn't even go to the study to check. The sound of the bell already indicated what the missing thing was.
Apart from the seal, the Golden Dragon Order and other things, I didn't prepare bells or other toys.
The torches were brightly lit in the city, and guards were searching everywhere, making the peaceful Yingzhou agitated.
Young Master Liu returned to Wenren Yunshu's boudoir, casually comforted the two beauties, and then used the pretext of playing games to start the story of a dragon and two phoenixes.
It was a sleepless night in the city.
It was also quiet in the dead of night in the palace.
