148 Zhong Qingye's Failure
When it was almost dawn, Zhong Qingye, who was still asleep, heard a strange noise. [】
It was impossible to tell what it was, as if the mouse was rumbling in the closet. Zhong Qingye narrowed his eyes and looked up at the sky that had not yet been completely lit. It was probably less than five o'clock in the morning. The palace was silent, and the slave who was originally guarding the night was ordered to return to the room by her. In addition to her, the entire palace was probably an empty city.
Who will be there at this time?
Zhong Qingye was uneasy and took off a long sword from the side of the shelf in the study, took off the cumbersome cloak, blew out the candlelight, and gently slipped out the door.
By chance, two black shadows were passing through her sphere of influence, and the direction was towards the back mountain. Zhong Qingye suddenly remembered that Chun'er had heard that the back mountain of Prince Rui's mansion was a forbidden area except Wuying and Qi Mo. Most slaves were forbidden to go up the mountain, and she was also held back because of what had happened these days and had never been up.
What do these people do in the back mountain?
Zhong Qingye was puzzled. Seeing that the other party was cautious, he estimated his level and followed him quietly.
There were only two people on the other side, their whole body was tightly wrapped, and even their heads were tightly wrapped in black cloth. However, in terms of size, they should be a man, with agile body and agile movements, and quickly shuttled through the palace and headed straight to the back mountain.
These two men were sneaky and seemed to be very familiar with the layout of the royal palace along the way. Zhong Qingye frowned secretly. Could it be that there are spies among the servants in the royal palace?
The other party did not look like an ordinary person when he went up. Even if he was sneaking in the dark night, he still kept paying attention to the situation behind him. If he was a normal person, he would probably be discovered soon. Unfortunately, they met a lurking ancestor. In this ancient times, when it comes to tracking and counter-stalking, no one can compare to Zhong Qingye who has professional training.
Following him not far or near, the other party deliberately circled a few times, but he couldn't get rid of Zhong Qingye. She was bitten tightly and didn't know it.
It was a long story, but in fact, it was only about two incense sticks. The two of them hid quietly at the foot of the back mountain of the royal palace with Zhong Qingye's big tail.
I suddenly saw that the small waterfall flowing down was flashing silver in the dim light in the early morning, like a delicate belt. Because of the height of the cliff, the waterfall had already dispersed before it reached the point, and the remaining sound was as light as a small river.
Zhong Qingye was shocked. He thought that the back mountain was not simple. Unexpectedly, there was a small waterfall. The cliff was towering like a sword, pointing directly to the sky. The broken walls were rugged and rocks were hard to see any plant. Only a thick layer of green vegetation was clustered on the top of the cliff, which seemed out of reach from Zhong Qingye's perspective.
Just a few meters away from Zhong Qingye, two men in black stopped and in front of them a rugged mountain road heading towards the back mountain. The mountain road was narrow and steep, and there was a huge stone at the entrance, with three large characters made of wild cursive characters in bright red colors, flying cloud walls.
Zhong Qingye never knew this place, and Qi Mo never mentioned it to her. After she understood everything in front of her, she suddenly felt a strange feeling that she knew too little about Qi Mo.
These things can be considered in the future. The problem now is that if these two men in black follow the path and follow the terrain, it will be difficult for Zhong Qingye to continue to track.
Fortunately, the two men did not go up the mountain, but stopped in front of the big stone, looked around for a while, suddenly knelt on one knee, lowered their voices and said, "Master Sheng'an, and Tian Qishou!"
Zhong Qingye frowned. With her eyesight, she did not find that there was a fourth person here. Moreover, why did the greetings from these two men sound so strange? There should be no such greetings from Northern Qi.
Just when Zhong Qingye was puzzled, the stone with the three big words "Flying Cloud Wall" written in cursive script suddenly trembled. Zhong Qingye twisted his heart and hurriedly shrank to the side, sinking his body to the greatest extent in the darkness.
She felt that this "master" was not simple.
It was strange that the big stone that was as heavy as a thousand pounds on it slowly moved to the side, with a very small amplitude, but it could not be hidden from Zhong Qingye's eyes. What surprised her even more was that this kind of movement of weight did not make any sound!
This kind of machinery is extremely common in modern times, but in ancient times it had another name called machinery.
What exactly did Qi Mo do for? He didn't know at all about his palace? Or did he know that it was clear in his heart and just said it?
Zhong Qingye was like a dead object, lurking in the darkness quietly, like a slight movement, but his brain was actually moving rapidly. Who are these people? What do you want to do when you appear here? Are there spies hidden in the Rui Palace? At this deadly moment, what are they doing in the dark?
The big stone moved half a meter, and a dark cave appeared at its original position. The sound of fine footsteps slowly came from inside. The man in black lowered his body. Zhong Qingye gently reached out and covered most of his eyes, carefully went out from the gap of his fingers, and breathed to the lowest point.
For those who are extremely vigilant, it is not too difficult to find a person based on the sound of breathing and the reflection of their eyes. Zhong Qingye can do this by himself, so he must be prevented.
Based on her ear strength, it can be easily judged that there should be a space in the cave, and the unidentified owner should step out on the ladder.
Who is it? Let me know!
Zhong Qingye was cautious and excited.
Suddenly, the footsteps stopped. Before Zhong Qingye could figure out what was going on, a series of laughter that had obviously changed its voice came out from the cave, like a ghost in the quiet morning.
Zhong Qingye only heard two sounds of breaking through the air, as if he was quickly cut by some sharp weapon. He knelt quietly not far away and fell down, without even making any noise.
Love and horror.
Then, the stone that had just moved away was quickly closed. Zhong Qingye finally understood that the other party had discovered her. He didn't care about hiding his body, and instantly jumped out of the hiding place and rushed forward.
Unfortunately, it was one step late. When her fingers touched the stone, the cave had closed and she didn't know how to open it. The two men in black who couldn't get up had a slender weapon that was pitch black all over the neck.
The sky gradually became brighter and the cold light was urinating. Zhong Qingye stood in front of the stone stiffly and bit his lower lip hard.
