Although the National Day ceremony is tomorrow, the night before is already very lively.

A festive atmosphere enveloped the entire imperial city.

However, some high-level officials who knew the inside story knew that there was an undercurrent surging in this festive atmosphere!

When Lin Hao arrived at the main south gate of the Imperial City, he saw that the city defense here was obviously tighter than before.

They were almost fully armed and full of murderous aura.

Perhaps because the celebration is approaching, the flow of people from all over the place to watch the fun continues to increase.

Even though it was already night, there was still a lot of traffic at the city gate, and a long line of people waiting for the security check by the city defense soldiers.

Lin Hao dressed up as Jing Ke and mingled with the crowd, preparing to enter the city.

"Hey, have you heard that the frontier army under the command of General Qin is said to have specially mobilized 100,000 troops in the past few days and stationed them beside the canal on the outskirts of the city."

"Yeah, I've also heard the news. In previous celebrations, the border troops didn't get into such a big fight. Could something big happen?"

"Don't make a fuss. They are probably sent by General Qin to assist the city defense troops and guard the order of the imperial capital."

"That's also true. Since General Qin guarded the border, the originally turbulent battle situation has quickly calmed down. Now, taking advantage of the celebration, we have the ability to mobilize some manpower to come back to assist."

In the crowd, when they talked about the Zhenbian Army and Qin Xiong, everyone showed reverence and talked eloquently.

Listening to the discussions around him, Lin Hao was slightly surprised.

It seems that Qin Yu's father is quite resourceful and has mobilized 100,000 troops directly from the border, intending to deter the rebels in the city who have evil intentions.

Moreover, the troops on the border are fighting all the year round. Compared with the city defense troops who live deep in the imperial capital, they are more powerful and fierce in terms of combat effectiveness and morale!

With such a powerful army holding the battle, Lin Hao felt that nothing major would happen at tomorrow's celebration.

Of course, this is not absolute.

If those rebel forces planned a coup, they would naturally think of the border troops and include them in their planning strategies. There must be some unexpected means to intercept them.

While thinking in his mind, Lin Hao followed the flow of people to the city gate.

"stop!"

Because of Lin Hao's mysterious attire, he immediately attracted the attention of the city defense soldiers responsible for security inspection.

A deep shout rang out, and several city defense soldiers immediately walked over quickly, full of momentum.

The security team leader was a middle-aged man with a resolute face and a murderous look in his eyes. He was obviously a ruthless man who had been on the battlefield.

"Where are you from? What's your name?!"

He put his palm on the hilt of the sword at his waist, stared at Lin Hao warily, and asked.

"Jing Ke, a member of the Great Yan Dynasty."

Lin Hao's voice was low and he replied calmly.

Jing Ke?

The security captain frowned slightly, looked at Lin Hao who was dressed strangely, and shouted: "Take off the mask on your face!"

"unnecessary."

Lin Hao said indifferently: "My face has been burned by fire. If I take it off, I'm afraid it will scare you."

"Oh? Then I want to see how scary it is."

Hearing this, the security captain felt that the person in front of him was even more suspicious, and immediately shouted: "This person has an unknown origin. Search his body and take off his mask!"

"yes."

Two sentries came immediately in response.

Lin Hao's eyes darkened slightly, and an invisible spiritual power suddenly filled the air.

"Psychic power! He is a mage?!"

Feeling Lin Hao's powerful mental aura, the two sentries were suddenly stunned and did not dare to step forward to search him again.

The strength of those who guard the city gates like them is only at the level of third- and fourth-level warriors. Facing high-level warriors, there is no way they can defeat them.

At this time, Lin Hao clearly sensed that there were dozens of powerful auras on the city wall, which had locked onto him.

Those martial arts masters whose aura and strength were not inferior to him.

Although Lin Hao was not afraid in his heart, he did not want to cause any trouble over such a trivial matter.

"This is my identification, I hope you can understand it."

Lin Hao said indifferently, and directly took out a black token that Ziye had given him from the storage ring.

In such a situation, the identity of Ming Pavilion can only be revealed.

"That's it?"

"What the hell?"

The two sentries were slightly startled and looked at it suspiciously.

But he saw that the black token was like jade, obviously cast from an extremely rare black jadeite.

There are some strange patterns engraved on its surface, with the word "Ming" engraved in the middle.

"This is Ming..."

Seeing this, the security captain's eyes narrowed tightly, but he quickly swallowed the word "ge" at the end.

He looked around at the crowd watching the excitement, wondering how he dared to expose Lin Hao's identity as Ming Pavilion.

The position of an assassin employed by King Yan is many times higher than that of a small security captain like him.

As for his strength, he can be killed instantly!

"My lord, please forgive us for the offense just now. Please come in."

At that moment, the security inspection captain nodded and bowed in a very respectful manner.

And when Lin Hao's identity token was discovered, the dozens of powerful auras on the city wall disappeared in an instant.

No matter who they are, assassins have always been feared.

After entering the city, Lin Hao went straight to the Jinhai Pavilion Restaurant in the west of the city.

That's where the Ming Pavilion organization gathers.

Tonight, all members of the Ming Pavilion scattered around will gather together.

Entering the city this time, Lin Hao really saw what it means to be lively.

Although it is already late at night, several busy streets are brightly lit and the flow of people is extremely dense.

Stores that were originally closed at this time have all opened their doors for business.

After all, this is a grand celebration held once every ten years in the Great Yan Dynasty.

Not only were there military parades by the Royal Guards and Imperial Guards, but there were also extremely grand magic performances.

Under such circumstances, it undoubtedly attracted a large number of people to flow into Yancheng, the imperial capital.

For a time, the already prosperous Imperial City became even more overcrowded.

All the hotels in the city were almost full.

Especially for those hotels near the central square of the palace, prices have soared more than ten times due to their location.

However, even so, under such high guest prices, the supply of guest rooms still exceeds the demand.

On the street, Lin Hao shuttled among the dense flow of people.

As the body technique of the wind mood unfolds, his steps are light, like a wind wave, sometimes faster and sometimes slower.

The crowd around him couldn't touch him at all.

Soon, Lin Hao arrived at the destination of his trip, Jinhai Pavilion.

At this time, I saw a piece of red paper hanging outside the Jinhai Pavilion store.

It says 'Closed for business' in font.

Obviously, in order not to be disturbed by outsiders, this place, as the gathering point of the Ming Pavilion organization, is naturally closed for the time being.

Lin Hao walked to the store door and knocked twice.

"who?"
Chapter completed!
