Chapter 489 Utilization

Night falls.

The Dazhao Palace is shrouded in darkness and falls into silence.

There are guards patrolling everywhere in the palace.

In the silent environment, the entire palace is shrouded in a solemn and solemn atmosphere.

At this moment, under a high wall somewhere in the palace, two figures stand quietly in the dark.

"Is this the opportunity you mentioned?"

Li Beifeng glanced at Zhou Qiu Ning beside him.

Zhou Qiu Ning asked calmly: "What else?"

Li Beifeng did not speak, but turned and walked through the alley on the side, avoiding the guards of the imperial army and came behind a high wall.

Inside the high wall is where Zhao Jing is under house arrest.

Li Beifeng stopped and glanced at her again: "Do you know what the crime is for trespassing into the palace?"

"Aren't you here?"

Zhou Qiuning looked at Li Beifeng with a smile: "Aren't you the guardian of the Imperial Astronomy Department?"

Li Beifeng had a blank expression: "The guardian of the Imperial Astronomy Department is not allowed to trespass into the palace!"

"Then I can't do anything!"

Zhou Qiuning waved her hand helplessly: "Since you are here, it's probably too late to regret now, right?"

Li Beifeng still looked at her expressionlessly.

Zhou Qiuning seemed very calm. She first glanced around the high wall and took in all the sentries and guards near the high wall.

Then, she looked up at the quiet night sky.

She whispered: "The guards in the palace will change shifts every two hours. That's the best time for us to sneak in!"

It is obviously unrealistic to want to forcefully break into the Dazhao Palace. Since Zhao Jing is under house arrest, he must be guarded by extremely strict imprisonment.

It's not easy to see him.

Hearing Zhou Qiuning's words, Li Beifeng couldn't help but look at her more, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "How do you know?"

"Secret!"

Zhou Qiuning smiled mysteriously, and seeing Li Beifeng frowned slightly, she glanced at him again: "Want to know?"

Li Beifeng didn't answer her question.

Seeing this, Zhou Qiuning smiled indifferently.

The surroundings fell into silence, leaving only the footsteps of the imperial guards patrolling not far away, and the faint breathing of the two people in the dark.

I don't know how long it took, the footsteps not far away suddenly became a little more complicated.

"The time has come!"

Suddenly, Zhou Qiuning's voice was lowered, and when Li Beifeng reacted, he saw her figure quickly disappearing in the darkness.

Almost sticking to the darkness, completely hiding her figure.

This kind of strength is definitely not something that ordinary people can achieve.

Li Beifeng's eyes flashed with a strangeness, and then quickly followed.

Taking advantage of the gap of changing guards, it is the best opportunity for the two to sneak in. According to Zhou Qiuning, the time for the change of guard was enough for the two to sneak in quietly.

However, Li Beifeng was still negligent after all!

When the change of guard took place, the high wall was in a state of short-term defense emptiness.

It was at this time that the two figures almost disappeared from the spot.

However, when Li Beifeng approached the high wall and was ready to sneak in, he saw several imperial guards appearing in front of him.

When Li Beifeng saw these imperial guards, these imperial guards also saw Li Beifeng at the same time.

In an instant, all the imperial guards were on alert almost immediately.

"Shua!"

The bright swords and knives were aimed at Li Beifeng with a bit of coldness and murderous intent in the imperial guards in the dark night.

"Who?!"

When seeing so many imperial guards, Li Beifeng instinctively felt that something was wrong.

What happened?

When he turned around and wanted to look at Zhou Qiuning, she was gone.

Where are the people?

After a short moment, Li Beifeng seemed to realize something.

I was fooled!

…

…

"It turned out to be Protector Li!"

After learning about Li Beifeng's identity, a small leader in the imperial guards waved his hands and asked his men to put away their swords.

Afterwards, the small leader walked up to Li Beifeng and looked him up and down.

Although he knew that the man in front of him was the protector of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, he was still a little suspicious.

After the small leader looked at Li Beifeng suspiciously, "It's so late, Protector Li is still staying in the palace, what's the matter?"

There were outsiders in the palace late at night. If they were not afraid of the deterrence of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, I'm afraid they would have taken Li Beifeng down long ago.

Li Beifeng glanced at the high wall next to him and said lightly: "I came here for the matter of the eldest princess!"

When these words came out, the small leader was immediately in awe and shuddered all over.

The eldest princess!

As a member of the imperial guards in the palace, he naturally heard about what happened recently.

I heard that the eldest princess was assassinated and her life or death is still unknown.

His Majesty was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the murderer!

I also heard that the Crown Prince was the biggest suspect in the assassination of the eldest princess...

This is also the reason why the Crown Prince was placed under house arrest in the palace.

So, why did this Li Hufa come here...

"Li Hufa, do you want to..."

The little leader looked at Li Beifeng.

Li Beifeng nodded calmly.

The little leader looked embarrassed and shook his head and said, "Li Hufa, please forgive me for not obeying your order. His Majesty has ordered that no one can see the Crown Prince. Li Hufa, are you sorry?"

Li Beifeng naturally understood this.

He nodded gently: "In that case, I will find another way. Sorry to bother you!"

"Hello, Li Hufa!"

“…”

After Li Beifeng disappeared, the leader heaved a sigh of relief.

At this time, a guard next to him whispered: "Should we report this to His Majesty?"

The leader glanced at him and said seriously: "Of course!"

"No matter what this Li Protector came here for, he must report it to His Majesty truthfully. If something goes wrong, our lives will be in danger!"

"…"

In the silent night.

When the next shift of guards changed shifts, a figure quietly left the high wall.

The figure was strange and blended into the darkness of the world, without arousing anyone's suspicion.

The figure slowly appeared in the dark, and then walked slowly outside.

However, not long after, she stopped.

Not far in front of her, stood a figure.

At this moment, the figure was staring at her coldly.

"Why are you still here?"

The girl spoke softly, and her tone seemed to be a little cheerful.

However, the next second, the figure walked towards her. One step, two steps, strolling...

Until he walked in front of her!

She stood there without moving, but her eyes blinked with a bit of innocence.

Li Beifeng stared at her condescendingly, with a cold look in his eyes.

"You used me?"

"Use?"

The girl blinked: "How did I use you?"

"Are you still pretending?"

Li Beifeng spoke coldly.

Just now, he finally realized that something was wrong.

Zhou Qiu Ning had known the deployment of the imperial palace guards for a long time, so it was impossible for her not to calculate this step.

She was able to sneak in, but Li Beifeng was stopped... All this was in her calculation.

The only possibility was that she used Li Beifeng.

Using Li Beifeng's identity, she helped her attract all the attention and let her find Zhao Jing smoothly.

From the beginning to the end, she had no intention of letting Li Beifeng go to see Zhao Jing.

Gu Zha

Li Beifeng, who had figured out all this, was extremely angry and felt like she had been used and deceived.

"Did you find out?"

Watching Li Beifeng's reaction, since she was discovered, she no longer pretended. She raised her face slightly and said with a smile: "Yes, I used you!"

Admit it!

She used Li Beifeng.

Li Beifeng stared at her, her eyes getting colder.

"What? Are you angry now?"

Zhou Qiuning stared at Li Beifeng, the smile on her face became more obvious: "Didn't expect that one day you would be used by me?"

"Do you have the impulse to get angry now?"

The smile on the girl's face became brighter, and she seemed to be a little proud of her behavior.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Li Beifeng said coldly.

The girl didn't care: "Can you kill me?"

"Bang!"

Li Beifeng took a step forward, stretched out his hand and pushed her body out, hitting the wall behind him heavily.

There was no mercy at all.

The action was very rough, and the tone became more and more rude.

The girl did not resist, and let Li Beifeng push her to the wall, and her petite body seemed to be shaky.

However, she still had a smile on her face, and there was a hint of pride in her eyes.

"You are really angry!"

Zhou Qiuning's smile became even bigger.

The colder Li Beifeng's face was, the more she smiled. It seemed that the angrier Li Beifeng was, the happier she was.

"Zhou Qiuning!"

Li Beifeng looked at her coldly: "Do you really think I can't kill you?"

"Then why don't you kill me?"

The girl looked at Li Beifeng indifferently, with a smile that seemed to mock at the corner of her mouth.

"Or, you kill me now?"

As she said that, Zhou Qiuning slowly closed her eyes: "I will stand here and not resist. How about you kill me now?"

Looking at Zhou Qiuning who was standing in front of him and really closed her eyes.

At this moment, Li Beifeng felt an indescribable impulse in his heart.

Kill her?

When he found out that he was being used, Li Beifeng did have a moment of murderous intent.

However, it disappeared quickly.

He was very angry, angry that he was being used and played by the woman in front of him.

As for killing her... Li Beifeng had no such plan, at least not for now.

The more this happened, the easier it would be for her to trick him.

Li Beifeng finally looked at her coldly, "From now on, I will not believe a word you say. Next time we meet, you and I will be enemies, and I will not show mercy!"

After that, Li Beifeng turned around and left.

Zhou Qiuning, who was under the wall, slowly opened her eyes and stared at Li Beifeng's back as he left. The smile on her face also disappeared bit by bit.

Her eyes gradually became deep, and the expression on her face also gave people an indescribable indifference and weirdness.

After a while, she lowered her head slightly, glanced at herself, and then glanced at the front.

"Enemy?"

Her eyes began to become hesitant, with an indescribable sadness.

But in the end, the hesitation disappeared.

At the same time, her figure also disappeared on the spot.

…

The capital.

The Prince's Mansion!

A figure appeared silently in the mansion.

In the early morning, several figures left the Prince's Mansion again silently.

At the same time, outside the capital.

The Zhao Mausoleum!

Several figures appeared in the mausoleum.

These people wandered around the imperial mausoleum, looking for and collecting all traces and evidence of what happened here before.

A figure stood in the imperial mausoleum, looking at the acne-covered and horrible post-war traces, and a picture emerged in his mind.

At that time, the eldest princess was here to fight those masters!

Judging from the traces, those masters must be very powerful.

But...

The eldest princess's strength has almost entered the highest martial arts realm, and she should not be too far away from that step. Logically speaking, it is not easy for so many people to stop the princess.

What happened.

"Found it, found it!"

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted at the foot of the mountain not far away.

Then, a figure quickly appeared in front of this person.

"My lord, this is a token found in the gap of the valley, look!"

The little leader looked at the token and his face suddenly changed.

"This token..."

Many people present have already seen the problem with this token.

It represents identity and truth!

"Quick, you guys go back to the palace and hand this thing over to His Majesty!"

After that, the figures followed this person down the mountain, left the imperial mausoleum, and rushed to the capital.

Along the way, several people hurried on their way and communicated at the same time.

"I have seen this token in the capital before, sir, is it really too..."

"Shut up, this matter is of great importance, and you must not talk nonsense before the truth is investigated!"

"..."

At this moment, several people knew the importance of this matter and rushed back to the capital.

Along the way, the horses raised dust all over the ground.

Just as several people passed a pass, murderous intent was revealed.

From the pass, several cold arrows suddenly appeared and rushed towards them.

"Be careful!"

Sensing the crisis, several people dodged immediately.

However, the horses under the people were unable to dodge in time, and screamed wildly after being shot, throwing them off the horses.

One of them was too slow to dodge, and was thrown to the ground by the flattery, and was seriously injured.

The rest of the people quickly rolled on the ground to dodge and avoid the attack.

Before they could react, the cold arrows attacked again.

Several people quickly drew their swords and began to dodge and fight.

At the same time, more than a dozen people in black appeared from all directions at the pass and surrounded these people.

"Who are you?"

The little leader saw these people, his heart sank, and he said sternly: "I am the personal guard of the current emperor. I am ordered to return to the capital. Why don't you leave quickly?"

The dozen or so people in black did not take this person's words seriously. After a short pause, they quickly drew their swords and rushed towards them.

The little leader felt cold in his heart and immediately understood that these people were coming specifically for them, not some bandits.

"Go, go!"

They were no match for so many people.

As expected, as soon as they met, two people beside them died tragically.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the little leader turned around and prepared to flee.

He couldn't die, he had to hand over the information on him to His Majesty.

He had vaguely guessed the origins of these people.

However, it was too late!

Before he ran far, he was blocked by another figure.

When he raised his head and wanted to see the other person clearly, he could only see a flash of cold light.

The next second, his head was separated from his body and he died tragically on the side of the road.

The figure walked up to him, took the token from his arms, carefully put it away, and then glanced at the remaining men in black.

"Clean it up!"

"Yes!"

"..."
