Chapter 165
After listening to Cui Hengyue's words, Lin Jiang gave up his previous thoughts.
Cui Hengyue patted Lin Jiang's right arm and comforted him: "Don't worry, my martial arts have improved greatly during this period, and tonight's operation will definitely be successful.
"You pack up and take the important things with you. When I get the key, I will come find you and Qionghua, and we will go down the mountain together."
Lin Jiang knew that Cui Hengyue would not give up on what he had decided, so he nodded: "Okay, you must be careful and don't let yourself get hurt."
"Well, I understand."
Cui Hengyue left Lin Jiang's room and went into the next room with Qionghua. She gave Qionghua careful instructions and then returned to the Dizang Pavilion.
She first went to the South Cave: "I want to see Xie Yu."
The guard did not dare to stop her, so he unlocked the door and let her enter the South Cave.
"You're here."
Xie Yu sat calmly at the table and read a book. When he heard the movement, he just raised his head and glanced at Cui Hengyue, then continued reading.
Cui Hengyue sat down opposite him and said in a low voice: "I will go to the North Hall to help you steal the key tonight. You prepare yourself. When the time comes, I will open the chain and you will send me down the mountain immediately."
Hearing this, Xie Yu immediately put down his book, looked at Cui Hengyue and asked, "Have you found out where Mu Huo put the key?"
"Yeah." Cui Hengyue nodded.
Seeing that Cui Hengyue had no intention of going into details, Xie Yu wisely did not ask about the whereabouts of the key, but only asked: "When will we take action tonight?"
Cui Hengyue: "When I was a child, I went to the North Hall and came to find you after I got the key."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
...
It's night.
After Xie Yu finished his meal, when Chen Guang came in with the guards to clean up the dishes, he couldn't help but said to Chen Guang: "Today's dinner was very good and delicious.
"Lieutenant Chen, is there a new cook in the kitchen?"
When the guard who was clearing the table heard this, he answered for Chen Guang: "No, there is no new cook in the kitchen of Dizang Pavilion."
Chen Guang stood aside, looked at Xie Yu and said, "Maybe Mr. Xie is in a good mood today, so he thinks today's food is delicious."
Xie Yu's expression froze, and he quickly ran through the events of the night in his mind. He found that he had no flaws, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He smiled slightly and said: "When I took a nap in the afternoon, I dreamed of my old friend, and I felt really good.
"I haven't had a dream for a long time. I can dream about my old friend today. It seems that Lieutenant Chen has prepared well this time."
Xie Yu pointed to the incense burner next to him and calmly averted Chen Guang's gaze: "Lieutenant Chen, do you still have this kind of incense? Give me some more."
Then he told the guard: "Bring me a pot of hot tea."
Still with that condescending and annoying look, Chen Guang dismissed the doubts in his heart and said coldly: "This incense has been used up."
Xie Yu's face darkened: "Then go buy it."
"Sold out, can't buy it."
"..."
Xie Yu was furious, and in a flash, he grabbed Chen Guang's collar and picked him up: "I'm warning you, you'd better go down the mountain and buy it for me as soon as possible, or else I will give my eldest sister's money back."
"Let go of Lieutenant Chen." The guard drew his sword and pointed it at Xie Yu.
Xie Yu glanced at the guard lightly, then let go of his hand.
"Ahem..."
Chen Guang coughed a few times, and after he recovered, he gave a heavy "hum" to Xie Yu and left the room.
There was no fragrance, but after the guard cleared the table, he replaced Xie Yu with a pot of hot tea.
...
At the end of Haishi, a room somewhere in the North Courtyard.
Song Zhuoxing took out his night clothes from the hidden compartment of the bed board and quickly changed into them.
Runzhu stood aside with a worried look on his face: "Sanlang, do you really want to visit the North Hall at night?"
Song Zhuoxing turned around and looked at him: "I have changed my clothes, do you think I am joking?"
"..." Runzhu choked for a moment, and followed closely: "Sanlang, if you don't say that the North Hall is heavily guarded, you won't be able to pass the plank road in the air between the South Hall and the North Hall.
"The plank road in the sky is neither long nor short, but if you knock out the guards at the South Palace, the guards at the North Palace will definitely find you. How will you go to the North Palace then?"
Song Zhuoxing inserted the dagger into the scabbard and put it into his boots: "Don't worry, I have a countermeasure.
"Okay, I'll leave first. You stay here. If anything happens, you can take care of it yourself."
After saying this, he walked to the window, opened it gently, and climbed out.
Carefully avoiding the patrolling guards along the way, Song Zhuoxing arrived at Guanyin Pavilion and headed for the sky plank road.
"who!"
Suddenly a man in black appeared next to him, and Song Zhuoxing hurriedly took action.
The opponent reacted quickly and dodged in time.
"etc--"
Seeing that Song Zhuoxing was about to take action again, the man in black on the opposite side quickly said: "Looking at you, you should be going to the North Hall, right?
"It just so happens that I'm going to the North Hall too, so why not get some company?"
Although the man in black deliberately spoke in a lower voice, Song Zhuoxing felt that the other person was someone he was familiar with.
He looked up and down at the man in black in front of him, and finally his eyes rested on the man's face.
Coincidentally, at this time, the moonlight shone in, and the small black mole under the end of the other person's right eyebrow was exposed to Song Zhuoxing's field of vision.
It's her!
Song Zhuoxing's eyes were shining, and he couldn't help but move closer to the man in black: "Miss Cui..."
This call to Song Zhuoxing used his own voice, so Cui Hengyue immediately recognized his identity: "Song Xiaolangjun?"
"Yes, it's me." Song Zhuoxing stood in front of Cui Hengyue, the two of them were very close to each other.
Cui Hengyue was not aware of this problem. She looked into Song Zhuoxing's eyes curiously: "Why are you going to the North Hall?"
"Uh..." Song Zhuoxing faltered.
He didn't want to lie to Cui Hengyue, but he couldn't tell the truth to Cui Hengyue.
Song Zhuoxing asked Cui Hengyue: "Why are you going to the North Hall?"
"I......"
Cui Hengyue didn't want to say: "Forget it, none of us will ask, you do your thing, I will do mine, no one interferes with anyone else."
This is best.
Song Zhuoxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Since you are also going to the North Hall, why don't we go together and we can still take care of you."
Cui Hengyue: "...Okay."
So, the two quietly came to the vicinity of the sky plank road.
"Have you figured out how to get there?" Cui Hengyue asked.
Song Zhuoxing pointed to the sky: "I've seen it, there are many clouds tonight, and the moon will hide in the clouds every once in a while.
"We can take advantage of the darkness to cross the plank road in the sky after the moon hides behind the clouds. As long as we move fast enough and get rid of the guards at both ends, we won't alert others."
Cui Hengyue couldn't help but look up at Song Zhuoxing. He was really smart to think of this.
Song Zhuoxing didn't see Cui Hengyue's eyes, he was staring at the moon in the sky.
After a while, Song Zhuoxing suddenly said: "Get ready, the moon is about to enter the clouds."
Cui Hengyue immediately tensed up and got ready to go.
After a few breaths, the surroundings gradually darkened, with only the candlelights at both ends of the plank road emitting a faint light.
"That's it now."
Song Zhuoxing rushed out first and knocked out the guard from behind using his hand as a knife.
Cui Hengyue followed closely and took care of another guard.
Afterwards, the two quickly stepped onto the aerial plank road and ran to the other end.
