Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1403 New Third Primary School

Outside the General's Mansion, among the green plants beside the street, an inconspicuous shadow stood there quietly.

Robber Zhi squatted in the grass, quietly waiting for time to pass.

The location he chose was very good. It was very close to the courtyard wall of the General's Mansion. It was enough for him to see the situation on the street clearly with the help of the not-so-bright moonlight tonight. At the same time, the patrol soldiers holding torches who happened to pass by could not be noticed at all. He is in the blind spot.

It was probably the first quarter of the day, and his actions hadn't really started yet. Now he was just waiting for the patrol team to change defense.

He had carefully calculated this. At this point in time, not only was it time for the patrol teams outside the General's Mansion to change their defenses, but also the layers of defense network inside the General's Mansion would also have gaps in the subsequent period.

Only this time period allowed him to break into the Qianji Tower from the outermost periphery of the General's Mansion in just two quarters of an hour.

At any other time, he would have had to wait for the patrol to change position, and it would have taken at least an hour before he could get close.

Facing the eagerly looking King of Thieves, the General's Mansion tonight was completely clueless, just like usual.

However, in the sky above Qingming that no one noticed, a vague sound of birdsong passed by, and an invisible shadow hovered over the general's mansion.

………………

Songhai City, the road down the mountain from Xiaoshengxian Village.

Tianming and Shaoyu walked together on the road, looking quite leisurely.

Compared to the first time they were nervous and cautious when wandering on the street at night, the two of them seemed to be much more at ease at this time - although the danger has not been reduced at all, and it should even be said that it has become more dangerous due to the Black Dragon Scroll.

Probably because they are familiar with each other once, and these two are indeed bold masters.

Tianming walked up the stairs and looked up at the sky:
  "The weather is not good today. The clouds keep blocking the moon and the stars don't shine."

Shao Yu also raised his head when he heard this, and continued casually, "There are few stars in the moon. The moon is so bright tonight, so the stars must not be very conspicuous."

"It's just that there are a lot of clouds, which is a bit in the way."

For both of them, it is a good thing that the moonlight is bright, because the visibility will be much improved, and they can respond to unexpected situations in time.

But if the moonlight is dim and pitch black, it's not a bad thing. They can't see it, and others can't see it, which can directly reduce the chance of accidents.

But the one that lights up and goes dark for a while is the most annoying. It also affects your vision and increases the risk.

"Yeah, it's so annoying!" Tian Ming agreed unhappily, and at the same time complained to Chu Nan Gong, "The same thing happened to that old man that day. He only told us to meet us in the early morning, and didn't tell us what time it was. It made us both have to meet each other. He didn’t sleep and ran out in the middle of the night.”

That's right, the reason why the two of them went down the mountain early was because they didn't know when Chu Nan Gong would meet them on the wooden bridge.

Tianming didn't know if the old man would wait for him if he was late. In order to avoid missing the small gift, he had to take the initiative and go early to wait.

After all, the other party was an old man, and it was inappropriate for him to wait for him on the bridge in the cold wind at night - Tianming could only comfort himself in this way.

In fact, the reason why he values ​​this unknown little gift so much is because of Zhang Liang.

Regardless of whether Tianming wanted to do it or not, picking up the shoes was the second favor he owed Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang had specifically told Tianming before to get the small gift, otherwise the favor would be in vain.

Tian Ming thought to himself, after staying up late tonight, he owed a favor and lost a gift. If he didn't even get the gift, it would be a simple loss of his wife and his army.

What a loss!
  In order not to lose everything, Tianming decisively took Shaoyu out for a night out. Anyway, staying up late is common for the two brothers.

In fact, they were not the only ones who agreed to go together tonight, Shi Lan was also called together.

As a more experienced night owl, Shi Lan would certainly not refuse, and she was also very curious about the abilities of the Chu Sage mentioned by Tian Ming and Shao Yu.

Maybe... like Shao Yu, I can get some inspiration from that sage... Although Shao Yu couldn't understand what he said at all.

However, it was definitely impossible for Shi Lan to sneak into Little Sage's Manor in the middle of the night and meet Shao Yu Tianming, so the three of them agreed to meet in front of the mountain gate at the foot of Little Sage's Manor.

The brothers took advantage of the fact that the moonlight was just right and there were no clouds, so they stepped up their pace and descended the mountain in a hurry.

As soon as the two of them arrived near the mountain gate, a slender figure jumped out from the tree beside the road, and it turned out to be Shi Lan.

She has been waiting here for a while.

Tian Ming was startled by the figure that suddenly appeared. After seeing clearly that it was Shi Lan, he immediately showed a silly smile, touched the back of his head and said:
  "Hehe, it turns out to be Shi Lan, you gave me a shock."

Shao Yu then interjected, "You came so early, haven't you been waiting for a long time?"

Shi Lan shook her head slightly, "No, it took a little longer on the way here. We just arrived not long ago."

"Huh?" Shao Yu frowned and asked hurriedly, "Did you encounter trouble on the road?"

"It's not a trouble, it's just... something's wrong." Shi Lan replied in a serious tone, "There are many Yin and Yang puppets patrolling the city."

"Ah!?" Tianming immediately screamed when he heard this, "The Yin and Yang puppets...are they those neither humans nor ghosts that chased us last time?"

Shao Yu nodded, "Yes, it's that ghost thing. It's three-quarters not like a human, and seven-quarters like a ghost. It's said to be a living dead refined by the evil magic of the Yin Yang family. It's not afraid of death, pain, or fatigue. It's disgusting." s things.."

Tianming couldn't help but shudder when he saw this, showing a look of disgust.

"Ah~~~"

"I'm most annoyed by those ghosts. It's scary to think about them."

Although Tianming only had contact with the Yin-Yang Puppet once, that one time was enough to make an impression.

Something that makes people feel physically uncomfortable just looking at it!

Shao Yu didn't care how disgusting the yin and yang puppets were. He touched his chin and thought about it:
  "The people of the Yin Yang family have ended up again... Under normal circumstances, the security patrol in the city should have nothing to do with the Yin Yang family. We were caught by Da Siming that night because we happened to send boys and girls to the mirage."

"So is it possible that something else will happen tonight?"

Tian Ming scratched his head and muttered in confusion, "What could possibly happen...it looks like everything is calm."

Shi Lan also shook his head and said, "I haven't found out about any actions of the empire recently... There are many outside the city."

Shao Yu had no clue and smiled nonchalantly, "That's my analysis. Anyway, let's try to be careful next time."

Tianming curled his lips when he heard this and muttered, "I hope the old man can come early so that we can finish it early."

"Hey!" Shao Yu smiled and patted his good brother on the shoulder, "Don't think about good things, let's walk first."
