The first master of the arena

Chapter 257: Entering the Imperial Palace at Night (2)
Hearing what Du Xiang said, Yue Tianyang smiled wryly in his heart.Although the overall martial arts of the palace guards can hardly compete with the masters of "Feilong Villa", the number of guards and imperial guards in the palace is unimaginable to Du Xiang.Once trapped, their chances of survival are very slim.Even if the opponent employs a sea of ​​people, he can swallow them up!
Yue Tianyang had no choice but to agree to take Du Xiang with him, and he could only hope that there would be no accidents during this trip.

After nightfall, Yue Tianyang and Du Xiang were ready to set off.When leaving, General Chen and Liu Mi told Yue Tianyang and Du Xiang that if they were exposed at that time, they must not kill the palace guards unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise it might anger the emperor.That would be a great crime.This Yue Tianyang and Du Xiang also understand.But they also decided that if the emperor wanted them to die then, they would not stand still.

Yue Tianyang assured: "Lord Liu, don't worry, we won't kill the guards in Da Nei unless we have to."

General Chen minded that the two of them left their weapons behind and brought them into the palace at night, even if the original intention was not true, he couldn't argue with it.They weren't masked either, which was a way of conveying a friendly message.Yue Tianyang and Du Xiang left their swords behind.Du Xiang got used to using weapons, so he stuck a wooden stick at his waist instead of his knife.Then the two changed into night clothes each.

The two sneaked towards the palace under the darkness of night.They came to the palace wall, which was several feet high.There are turrets on the four corners of the palace wall, on which guards observe the situation below.

The two were cautious, each like a phantom, leaping over the towering palace wall as lightly as flying catkins.At this time, Yue Tianyang thought of Yin Qizi, who was unique in lightness kung fu, and he thought that if it was Yin Qizi, it would be easier for him to sneak in without anyone noticing.

They entered the palace, and the palace was magnificent and magnificent, with towering pavilions.There are thousands of houses and thousands of households in the secluded rooms and rooms, which are really magnificent.Let Yue Tianyang and Du Xiang sigh.The two identified their direction, and then they shuttled through the huge palace like phantoms.On the road, there were teams of Royal Forest Army and Ouchi masters patrolling the night with lanterns, but Yue Tianyang and Du Xiang cleverly avoided them.They dare not have the slightest carelessness.If they are not exposed a little, they may be buried in the abyss of eternal doom.

They went through another palace and went to the emperor's bedroom.In the darkness of night, there are three steps, one post and five steps and one sentry around the palace, and the security is extremely strict.The two of them hid in the dark, and Yue Tianyang whispered to Du Xiang: "The emperor must rest in this palace tonight. Otherwise, there would be no such strict security."

"Yes." Du Xiang nodded.He whispered to Yue Tianyang: "Then let's find a way to get in."

Yue Tianyang took out the small stones that he had already prepared from his bosom, and he threw the two small stones in two directions respectively.When the sergeants guarding outside the bedroom heard the sound, they divided into two and went to the two positions to check.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yue Tianyang and Du Xiang rushed to the wall of the bedroom with extremely fast figures. By the time the soldiers returned to their posts after finding out what was going on, the two of them had already quietly jumped into the bedroom. up.

They first hid behind a rockery, waited for a while to determine that they were not exposed, then bypassed the rockery and crossed a small white jade bridge with railings.Surrounded by luxuriant flowers and trees, green pines and cypresses, and green bamboos, this garden is really a quiet and peaceful place.

There are not many guards in the huge garden.In front of a lighted room stood only four guards and two eunuchs.There are four guards in the east and west of the garden.The entire garden seemed extraordinarily quiet in this quiet night.

Yue Tianyang and Du Xiang felt a little puzzled, how could the vigilance in the garden be so lax?
Du Xiang said to Yue Tianyang in a very low voice: "There are so few guards here? Is the emperor not in this palace tonight?"

Yue Tianyang was also a little confused.Now that the emperor is aware of Mr. Long's ambitions, and Mr. Long has networked many masters of the rivers and lakes, the emperor should be more careful to guard against Mr. Long's assassination.Although the fortification outside the palace is tight, it is still not enough to deal with the top Jianghu masters, and the garden should be fortified in layers.Perhaps the emperor is not here to rest tonight.

At this time, two court ladies walked into the garden with tea and snacks in their hands.They went to the door and said to one of the eunuchs, "Eunuch Fang, here are the tea and snacks that the emperor wants."

Eunuch Fang ordered an eunuch next to him to take it over.Then he said to the two maids in a shrill voice, "Go down." The two maids left the garden.

Then Eunuch Fang and the little eunuch brought tea and snacks in.This dispelled the confusion in the hearts of Yue Tianyang and Du Xiang, so it can be seen that the emperor is in the palace room where the lights are still on.

Yue Tianyang said softly to Du Xiang: "The emperor must not be frightened at that time." Du Xiang nodded.

There is a large flower bush a few feet away from the door.If you want to get close to that door, you must first hide among the flowers.Just as Du Xiang and Yue Tianyang hid in the flower bush, they were both taken aback suddenly.In the grass under their feet, it seemed that something tripped their feet.The two squatted down slightly, and touched the grass with their hands. The grass was full of crisscross lines.It is on these lines that their feet stumble.And no matter how stupid they are, they can think that these threads will not be laid in the grass for no reason.They realized right away that they might have set off the alarm.And where the alarm sounded, they didn't know.But they knew clearly what kind of danger they were going to face next... At this time, more than 200 imperial guards suddenly rushed in from all over the place, with sharp swords in their hands and spears like forests.And from other houses, dozens of big insiders also rushed out.They were all well-trained, quick-responsive, and not flustered at all, but calmly and skillfully surrounded the entire flower bush with their torches in hand.There are fifty or sixty archers and crossbowmen with their arrows on the string, all facing the flowers.As soon as an order is issued, hundreds of sharp arrows will pierce through the flowers.Perhaps they have rehearsed such a scene no less than a hundred times.

Yue Tianyang and Du Xiang felt as if their mouths were stuffed with Coptis chinensis.Now they understand why the guards in the palace are strict on the outside and loose on the inside.Although it looks loose inside, it is a real dangerous place!

"Who is it! Come out!" a general asked sharply. "Otherwise, shoot the arrow!"

Yue Tianyang and Du Xiang had no choice but to come out of the flowers.

"This general." Yue Tianyang clasped his fists to the general and said, "We sneaked into the palace rashly because we had no choice but to report something important to our emperor face to face."

The general sneered and said, "Sneaking into His Majesty's bedroom at night wearing night clothes clearly intends to assassinate, how dare you make excuses! Shoot to death with random arrows!"

As soon as his words fell, arrows and crossbows covered the two of them like a torrential rain.Yue Tianyang stretched out both palms, knocking down the arrows with the wind of his palms.Du Xiang pulled out the wooden stick at his waist, and instantly swung a shadow of the stick to pull out the arrow crossbow that was shot at him.But then those Imperial Forest Army and Ouchi masters swarmed up to the two of them...

At this point, Yue Tianyang and Du Xiang could only save their lives.But at most they only wounded the Imperial Forest Army and Ouchi guards, and did not kill anyone.If it was a killer, it would be even more unclear.

The two were surrounded tightly.All the guards and imperial guards stepped forward bravely.Yue Tianyang used fists and feet, and Du Xiang used wooden sticks. Soon more than 20 people were injured by them.At this time, more than a dozen sergeants with spears surrounded Yue Tianyang, and a dozen long spears quickly stabbed at Yue Tianyang. At that moment, Yue Tianyang's body suddenly spun twice like a spinning top, waiting for him It stopped abruptly, and the dozen or so soldiers were stunned!The spears in their hands have become bare wooden sticks!The gun heads fell to the ground... At the same time, seven or eight knives were slashed at Du Xiang from Du Xiang's side. Du Xiang is an expert at playing knives, and he knew where the flaws were when he saw their knives' postures.The wooden stick twirled in Du Xiang's hand, and then the wooden stick came out of his hand. There was a sound of "choking", and the knives that were cut at him fell to the ground.Those guards were startled!They all felt that their wrists were tapped just now, and the knives in their hands were all dropped!The wooden stick returned to Du Xiang's hand, and he hit the arm of a guard who was attacking him with the wooden stick, and the guard let out a cry of pain and the sword in his hand fell to the ground...

The martial arts of Yue Tianyang and Du Xiang made these big insiders and the Imperial Forest Army astonished!At the same time, what puzzled them was that although the two masters in black had great martial arts skills, they did not kill them, they just repulsed or wounded them to achieve their goal.They continued to attack the pair.At this time, more and more Imperial Forest Army poured into the garden.They lined up in a neat and orderly formation to trap Yue Tian, ​​Yang Duxiang in the field.Under the firelight, the armor on their bodies was cold, and the swords, guns, swords and halberds in their hands emitted an ominous light.

Yue Tianyang knew that fighting like this was not an option.If they can't kill, they will undoubtedly lose half of the power of their martial arts, and it will not be able to deter the enemy. The opponent can exhaust them to death with an innumerable crowd!Since it was exposed, it must have alarmed the emperor in the palace.After finally sneaking in, he didn't want to rush out to escape for his life in vain before seeing the emperor.At this time, if he wanted to rush out, he would have to kill a lot. He didn't know how many people could be killed to make a bloody path.But he knew that if he did so, it would be an unforgivable crime of killing the nine clans!
So Yue Tianyang said with the kung fu of thousands of miles of rumors. "Your Majesty, we are not assassins... Caomin risked his life to sneak into the palace, and there is indeed an important matter to report to his face. This matter is related to His Majesty's safety... It is really necessary, and I hope His Majesty will show mercy..." These words at this time Echoes in every room and every corner of the entire bedroom.

Yue Tianyang's move worked at this critical moment.

"Your Majesty has an order, stop everything!" Suddenly a high-pitched voice sounded.
