Chapter 1089: Midnight
"Liang Chao. Now come to me for something. After Zhang Fan met Liang Chao. The two of them went to a secluded place on the side. didn't wait for Liang Chao to say anything. Zhang Fan took the initiative to ask.
Actually, this is a very obvious problem. After all, it's the hour. It's time to draw to the end. At this time, although most of them did not rest. After all, it is necessary to keep the New Year. But it is not enough to come to Zhang Fan at this time. Other words. Since Liang Chao came at this time. That means that something is happening. And. Even Liang Chao didn't say anything. But Zhang Fan's intuition told him. The news brought by Liang Chao. It's probably the news he wants to hear the most right now.
"Your Excellency. It seems that the person who is looking for trouble with Zhao Zijie is here. "Sure enough. Liang Chao said this. Zhang Fan wanted to hear this sentence the most. "Just now, I was waiting in the yamen. I received news that someone suddenly appeared near the palace. It is now the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. It's the first day of the Lunar New Year. This kind of time. Unless something happens. Otherwise, someone would come to wander around the palace. And it's five or six people. ”
"Where are our people? They didn't see it. Zhang Fan asked.
"Don't worry, sir. It's not the first time we've done this kind of thing. Liang Chao patted his chest. replied. "Our people are watching this side from the house near the palace. If there is any movement, it is clear at a glance. It's absolutely impossible for people outside to notice our movements. Adults don't have to worry about that. ”
"That's fine." Zhang Fan said. "Speaking of which. We've been waiting for this for a long time. But they will act tonight. It's a little confusing to me. True. Tonight, every family celebrates the New Year. All in their own homes. And even in the palace. Even today there are people on patrol. But it's bound to be more lax than usual. But why did these people choose today? You must know that Zhao Zijie is the guard of the inner courtyard of the palace. Even if he doesn't rest tonight. But he was also patrolling the inner courtyard of the palace. That's it. These people want to find trouble with Zhao Zijie. Then you have to go into the palace. But once you enter the palace. I'm afraid they won't be able to bargain for anything. When the time comes. Once Zhao Zijie was attacked. The other guards in the palace will also come to help. There were only five or six people on the other side. How can you deal with so many people? ”
"This question. I have always had doubts in my heart. Liang Chao said. I think there are only two ways. Either that or those people are familiar with this palace. Or Zhao Zijie has been contacted in advance. Let him wait for them at night in a place where there is no one in the palace. Either. It's going to be Zhao Zi's outstanding mansion. But come to mind. I'm afraid the latter is somewhat likely. After all, no matter how you look at it. Do it in this palace. It's a little too unwise. ”
"That's true." Zhang Fan also agreed with Liang Chao's words. "How's our guy?"
"Because I don't know where they're coming from. So our people are arranged around the palace. Plus you can't have too many people. So it's very scattered. for monitoring. Liang Chao said. Now. The brethren have found those people. They came from the east. Case. The brethren had gone to the east of the king's house. It's just to keep those people from finding out. So now it's time to take a long detour. Although it will take some time. But those people looked. It doesn't seem to be going to happen right away. It should be in time. ”
"Hmm. Wang Mengren. Zhang Fan asked again.
"Brother Wang, the others are naturally here." Liang Chao said. "He was on the south side. I heard that he had just heard that someone had appeared on the east side of the palace. He's already in the way. Now. I think I've already arrived at the place. ”
That is to say. Now it's all in place. Zhang Fan said. That being the case. Let's prepare. Let's go too. ”
"Yes. Adults......" Liang Chao replied halfway. But the voice stopped. looked at Zhang Fan in surprise. Asked. "Your Excellency. We. My lord. It's hard for you to go too. ”
"Of course. I'm going to go over and see what the hell is going on. Zhang Fan looked like a matter of course. Said. "I know what you're worried about. Rest assured. Wait until you get started. I'm not going down. Just stay where you are. Zhang Fan's words. There is no worry. As if he wasn't going to some dangerous place at all. It's just a big drama that is not dangerous at all when watching anomalies.
"But my lord. Even so. It's also dangerous. "Liang Chao naturally can't promise Zhang Fan." It's time to fight. Who knows what the hell will be going on. In case it is said that an adult is injured because of this. How can you afford to be humble? ”
"Something. Don't make such a fuss. Zhang Fan said. To know. I've been through all kinds of scenes. It doesn't matter if it's a fight between several people. Or is it the fight on the battlefield. I've been through it all. Even so. Am I still so intact today? It can't be because of the different identities now. You can't do the same thing. All right. This matter was decided. Wait for me to change my clothes. Come with you. ”
At last. Liang Chao was also unable to speak of Zhang Fan. Originally. If it's about eloquence. Liang Chao is no longer Zhang Fan's opponent at all. Not to mention nowadays. Zhang Fan is Liang Chao's superior. He had already been given orders. Case. There was nothing he could do. I can only copy it.
Zhang Fan went to change into black clothes. followed Liang Chao out of the palace together. The gatekeeper of the palace was for Zhang Fan to leave at this time. Apparently curious. But Zhang Fan confessed to him before leaving. said that Jinyiwei had something important. It has to be done now. Let him not say that he has gone out. I'll be back soon. A small gatekeeper of the palace. Naturally, he won't pay much attention to Zhang Fan's affairs. Fear of getting into trouble.
Zhang Fan followed Liang beyond the gate of the palace. It's heading into the alley opposite. To know. Near the Royal Palace. It's hard to have people. And these places. In fact, it is several generations of Shu kings. Sympathize with the subordinates in the house. built for their families to live in. Although it is around the palace. But in fact, it is not that close to the palace.
In a word. After Liang Chao took Zhang Fan into the alley. Twists and turns. Seemingly. They're already familiar with everything here. Although Zhang Fan couldn't recognize it. But when I followed Liang Chao. It's still pretty much telling. They're heading east.
It's about a mile away. Liang Chao took Zhang Fan to the north. It didn't take long to go. Liang Chao walked to the back of a house facing the street. Knocked on the back door three times. Soon someone came to open the door. The person who opened the door saw that it was Liang Chao. Nodding his head, let him in. But I didn't expect it. Liang Chao was followed by a person. After the man saw Zhang Fan's face clearly. His face changed immediately. I was amazed. But right away. He understood, too. It's not something he can handle. He nodded respectfully to Zhang Fan.
Wait until Zhang Fan goes in. It was found that there were already several people inside. The lights inside the house were on. But don't worry at this time. After all, it's almost past time. Families are waiting for the New Year. Almost every house has lights on. It won't arouse the suspicion of others.
After Zhang Fan went in. Not long. Wang Meng came out of it. came to Zhang Fan's face. He said expressionlessly, "My lord." The brothers are ready. Now those people were under the walls of the palace opposite. Each of them brought his sword. Obviously it's not a good stubble. He didn't ask Zhang Fan why he came here. didn't mean to blame Zhang Fan. He knows. Now that Zhang Fanren is already here. Then his mind is already decided. Case. No more asking. It's coming. Let Zhang Fan go back again. Obviously unrealistic.
"Can you see that side from here?" Zhang Fan asked.
Nodding. Wang Meng led Zhang Fan to the second floor of the house. Over here. There are many people with two floors like this. But it's not a big deal.
After Wang Meng brought Zhang Fan up. Zhang Fan is the discovery. There are no lights here. It's not dark. But that doesn't raise suspicions. Nowadays, most people are waiting in the living room for the New Year. In some places, there are still people on the streets. It seems to be waiting for the firecrackers to be set off. However, there was no one near the Shu Wangfu. I heard that there were accidents here in the past because of artillery battles. So no one does it anymore.
But. Thanks to that, too. Make it easy for these people to do things tonight. Otherwise, there are people on the street. There's nothing they can do about it.
And thankfully, it's so. Zhang Fan: They can have the opportunity to do this. Otherwise. These people won't come at all. There's no way they can catch them.
Wang Meng's eyes looked at the window. Zhang Fan walked over. It was found that the windows were closed. The curtains were also drawn. But as long as I pick up the bottom slightly. You can see what's going on outside. Small movements like this. Plus it's dark out there now. Even if there are lanterns. I definitely can't see the situation here.
Zhang Fan took advantage of the faint light on the wall of the palace courtyard. Found right across the corner. The root of the wall of the Shu Palace. There were six people standing there. Something seems to be being discussed.
"There are twenty of us here. Can you take these people. Zhang Fan asked Wang Meng behind him.
"Don't worry, sir. There are twenty of us. Eighteen is enough. Definitely able to take down these people. Wang Meng said. There are two more people. Naturally, he wanted to stay and protect Zhang Fan.
"Hmm. Be careful then. Zhang Fan said. It doesn't matter how many of them are. But don't get killed. And also. Zhao Zijie can't be hurt either. ”
"Humble duty understood." Wang Meng replied.
