Chapter 833 Feather Arrow
Di Renjie took a deep breath and said, "It's like this..."

Suddenly, his voice stopped, his mouth was open, and he remained motionless.

He remembered that day when the emperor was with him in the imperial study:

Wu Zetian slammed the memorial on the imperial case, and shouted sharply: "This Wu Youde, really deserve to die!"

Di Renjie said: "Your Majesty, calm down. The Liangzhou Ordnance Bureau case is basically clear. Nanping County Wang Wu Youde violated the imperial court's ban, and his aunt and cousin, Liangzhou Ordnance Bureau Director Zhao Yongrong, sold feather arrows for huge profits.

However, at present, the evidence has not been collected completely. Your Majesty, please don't disturb the king of Nanping County for the time being. After the evidence is conclusive, he will be in charge of the district. "

Wu Zetian took a deep breath, nodded slowly and said, "Forget it, I will leave this matter to you."

Di Renjie bowed and said, "Yes."

Thinking of this, Di Renjie's eyes lit up, and he said softly: "Wu Youde..."

Ruyan and Zhong looked at each other and said, "Uncle, what did you say?"

Di Renjie took a deep breath, with a smile on his face, he stood up and bowed to the ground: "My lord, your words today wake up Huaiying, the person in my dream!"

Bu Zhen was puzzled and said, "Oh?"

Di Renjie said: "My lord, don't blame Huaiying for being perverse. I have a few words to tell Ruyan and the others."

Bu Zhen smiled and said: "Di Renjie is serious, please go ahead."

Di Renjie waved to Ruyan, Zhong Shi and Li Yong, and the three of them walked forward quickly, Di Renjie whispered.

……

At night, there was silence near the south gate, and the cold wind blew past, sending out waves of terrifying whistles.

In front of Houzai Gate, four soldiers on duty patrolled back and forth.

A sergeant stomped his feet and said, "This damn weather is really cold."

Another sergeant also said: "No, my feet are numb from the cold. When is it?"

The sergeant replied: "It's the first drum. We are on duty at the second drum, and it's less than three quarters away."

"Who's next class?"

"You're so worried, you're almost freezing to death, you still care so much, as long as it's not us!"

Several people laughed.

West Market Street is facing the South Gate, and the street is empty.

In the silence, two black shadows rushed towards under the cover of the house, it was Ru Yan and Zhong Shi.

Wearing black night clothes and holding long bamboo poles, the two of them hid behind the gable of the shop, poked their heads out, and looked towards the city gate.

The city gate is more than a stone's throw away.Zhong said softly: "It's too far away, come closer."

Ruyan nodded and waved lightly, and the two ran forward under the cover of the night.

The southernmost alley in West City is called Pearl Lane, which is close to the city wall more than ten feet high.

Ruyan and Zhong rushed into the alley and came under the city wall.

Zhong nodded and said, "Well, the distance here is about the same. Let's do it!"

Ruyan nodded, and erected the bamboo pole.

Zhong was a little worried: "Are you okay?"

Ruyan said: "Oh, it's so long-winded, you should hurry up!"

Zhong nodded, leaped, quickly climbed to the top of the pole, grasped the top of the pole with both hands, and fell slowly.

Ruyan used all her strength to hold onto the end of the pole.

Slowly, Zhong's body was already close to the ground, she shouted in a low voice: "Let go!"

It was too late to say it, but she jumped up, and the whole person flew out like a bullet and rushed towards the city wall.

Ruyan "thumped" and sat on the ground, she quickly jumped up and looked up.

I saw Zhong's body rushing towards the city wall like a shooting star, but it seemed that he would be able to hit it immediately, but Zhong's body fell right at this moment.

Ruyan covered her mouth, seeing Zhong's body falling faster and faster.

Ruyan's heart kept sinking, and Zhong's body fell rapidly. Suddenly, she swung her right hand, and an iron claw flew upwards, and was buckled at the crenel on the top of the city.

With a soft "click", Zhong's body stopped falling.

Ruyan let out a long breath and patted her chest.

Zhong took a deep breath, grabbed the rope with both hands, quickly climbed to the top of the wall, jumped up, and jumped up.She looked around, only a few sergeants on duty in the distance.

She quickly untied the iron grip, took a few steps back, and threw the iron grip to Pearl Lane below the city with all her strength.

With a sound of "clang", the iron claw fell to the ground, Ruyan ran forward and picked up the iron claw.

Zhong tied the end of the rope to the battlements, wound it tightly round and round, and then waved his hand down.

Ruyan grasped the iron grasp tightly, jumped up, the rope brought her against the city wall, she fell down with both hands, climbed to the crenel in a blink of an eye, jumped up to the top of the city.

At this moment, a light flickered not far away, and two sergeants on duty came over.

Ruyan and Zhong hurriedly hid outside the crenel.

The two sergeants walked towards Qiaolou while chatting.

Ruyan said softly to Zhong Shi: "You wait here, I'll be right back."

Zhong nodded.

Like a swallow rising up, a big bird rushed towards Qiaolou.

Several braziers were lit in Qiaolou, steaming hot.

On the gray wall in front of the door, hung a wooden night watch time board with many small wooden signs, each with the name of a night watch team written on it.

The time board is engraved with the time, and the wooden sign below is the corresponding duty team.

More than a dozen night watch sergeants slept on the bunks in disorder.

Several other people chatted around the table.

A sergeant said, "Boss, is it our turn for the next shift?"

The gang leader said: "It seems to be!"

The sergeant said: "I'm on duty this day, it's really impressive. You can hear that the wind has a whistle."

The gang leader smiled and said: "Your boy is too tired and afraid of being tired. Isn't it just an hour, just come here after Renren."

As soon as the words fell, the door opened with a "bang", a gust of cold wind blew in, and the oil lamp went out immediately.

Several people couldn't help but exclaimed.

In the dark, a hand reached under the time board, and switched the sign of the ugly night team with the sign of the sub-time night team.

The gang leader walked slowly to the door and looked out.

There was no movement outside the door, only the north wind whistling.

The gang leader said: "It's the wind, light the oil lamp."

As he said that, he closed the door and walked back. Suddenly, he stopped and looked at the time board on the wall.

The sergeant asked: "What's the matter, captain, what are you looking at?"

The gang leader said strangely: "Hey, it's strange. I clearly remember that we are on duty at Zishi, but why is it written on the time board that we are Choushi?"

The sergeant smiled and said, "Hey, you must have misremembered." The captain nodded and said, "Maybe!"

Another sergeant smiled and said, "Like a fool, I waited for a long time for nothing."

The crew chief said: "The later in the night, the more difficult it is. Okay, since we are not the next shift, let's lie down and sleep for a while!"

Several sergeants nodded repeatedly and lay down on the bed yawning.

The bell at the beginning of the child's hour rang from Qiaolou.

The sergeant on the top of the wall said: "Hey, it's early in the morning, why haven't the successors come yet?"

"This group of boys, come late if they can, it's too bad! It's so cold, who should stand for them for an extra quarter of an hour! Brothers, don't worry about them, anyway, what happened has nothing to do with us. Let's go!"

Several people nodded again and again, and walked towards the top of the city one after another.
