Chapter 279: Inside the hall

When the clappers sounded at the time, the bustling long street on weekdays

was empty.

After the Prince's assassination, the capital, which had not been under a

curfew for decades, was put on alert again. Shops could only be opened until

Haishi, and residents were not allowed to stay overnight. This prohibition

seemed to strengthen the security of the capital, but in fact it opened the

door to Xia Fan's convenience.

The night without pedestrians and lights is the best cover.

Everyone climbed one by one on the roofs of the buildings across the street

from the Privy Council-these brick and stone houses facing the street

basically have three floors, and the roof ridge has exceeded the top of the

wall, so you can easily see the situation behind the wall.

After going around the Privy Council, Lei returned to the hiding spot and

nodded to everyone, "Everything is normal, and the guards of the Imperial

Guard are basically the same as during the day."

Xia Fan took a deep breath.

"Very good. After Xinwu is in place, we will start to act."

"So when you touched into Luo's room before, were you prepared like that?" Luo

gently asked in a low voice.

"Uh... it's easier for one person to say, but the process is basically the

same... Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"No... I just feel quite expert. No wonder the guard disciple I arranged is

useless. Now that I think about it, it's normal to lose you."

Xia Fan was dumb.

"Does the listener even teach this? Heaven really knows everything." Qianzhi

sighed.

"I don't think it's necessarily," Li pouted, "it's like his daily life

accumulation-when wandering with the master, he must have done this thing."

Hey, the more you talk, the more ridiculous.

Just when Xia Fan wanted to defend herself, a loud noise suddenly came from

the direction of the Privy Council gate.

I saw a few alchemists rushing out of the street, seeming to want to break

into the Privy Council, but they were forced to stop with spears by the

Forbidden Army. The alchemist did not use the magic technique, but quarreled

loudly with the guards. In the quiet night, even if the sound was hidden on

the roof of the house more than a hundred meters away, they could still hear

it.

"I have an important task, why can't I enter the headquarters?"

"If the affairs of the Privy Council are delayed, can you afford it?"

"His Royal Highness has ordered that all registered alchemists must be

investigated. Are you planning to resist?"

"Take them down!"

The conflict attracted patrols on both sides, and the sky over the street

became a short-term blind spot of vision.

——The time agreed with Xinwu is almost the same.

"action!"

Xia Fan immediately put away all distractions and said in a deep voice.

"Xianshu, dragon scales." Luo gently evoked a thin flying sword, and Qianzhi

immediately tied a bundle of hemp rope to its end. Then the former controlled

the flying sword to cross the Long Street and the Privy Court wall, winding

the rope around a tree.

"So... we're off."

"Be careful." Fang Xiandao was rare and serious.

"Don't worry, I will." Xia Fan nodded.

"In case... I mean if something goes wrong, please send a thousand words. She

can't make a mistake." He added.

Xia Fan immediately took back the praise.

"Master, crow's mouth." Chichi muttered.

"This is a nice reminder!"

While talking, Li had already turned into a fox and easily stepped on the rope

to reach the mansion.

"Next."

Qianyan also walked like flying, his light body was almost weightless, and he

trot all the way through the long street.

Although Luo Qing was a circle older than the living dead and couldn't see far

away with his eyes, with his body's flexibility and strong sense of balance,

he actually walked over the rope.

To be honest, this was different from what Xia Fan had expected. He thought

that everyone would have to grab the rope and climb over, but he didn't expect

that his teammates were able to do so, but he became the slowest one.

But this is the end of the matter, and everything is a secondary matter. He

rolled up his sleeves and started to cross the street with a tight grip on the

rope.

At this time, the accident happened suddenly.

While the guard at the door was still binding the alchemist, a small group

unexpectedly left the crowd and walked towards the corner of the street.

Because it is an unconventional patrol route, they only need about 30 breaths

to cross the corner.

Fang Xiandao was the first to notice this situation. He immediately gestured

to Xia Fan, but at this time Xia Fan had already climbed to the center of the

road, and it would take the same amount of time whether to return or move on.

For the alchemist, this time is enough to reach the destination, but the twine

still in the air will become a clue to expose everyone!

"Chichi, good at adapting." The little girl pointed to the path where the

other party came, "Ice...surgery!"

An inconspicuous frost spread quickly on the ground, and because they were

covered by the shadow of the wall, they could not be detected with the naked

eye.

The soldier walking in the front stepped on without warning.

Then he fell sturdily to the ground.

"Mother! This place is slippery!"

"Hahahaha...Look at how bad you are."

"Did you drink too much urine yesterday?"

Not only did his fall not arouse the slightest vigilance, but instead drew a

burst of laughter from his teammates.

"Can I blame Lao Tzu?" The other party scolded and got up. "It's a black

light, why don't you try it?"

"Okay, it's like this in winter. What's frost, but it's troublesome when snow

melts. Don't stop here to show other people jokes."

With the captain's voice, the laughter gradually subsided.

The team also stayed for a short while, but this time was enough for Xia Fan

to step into the towering courtyard and retrieve the hemp rope.

"The main hall of Lubu is located to the east of the Privy Council, and the

entrance is also guarded." Li Hui, who was in charge of the investigation

mission, reported, "More than that, the lights in the hall are all on, and

there seems to be people moving."

"Normal, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness also wants to find something

inside." Xia Fan looked at the top of the hall, "We still walk from the top of

the building, according to the memory of a thousand words, the terrace there

can be directly connected to the case file room. Next we will look at Fang

Yanni ."

Facts show that the Fang family in Lingzhou is not only a god-bearer.

Although the big disciple said he lacked self-confidence, the actual effect

was better than everyone expected. As soon as the people walked along the wall

to the vicinity of the hall, they saw the guards above scolding and fleeing

from where they were garrisoned, and followed him. , Is a swarm of buzzing

bees.

"Good job~www.mtlnovel.com~that girl." Li praised.

"Compared with the big disciples in the heyday of the Fang family, this level

can only be said to be barely qualified." Qianyan's evaluation is rather

strict.

The height of seven or eight meters in the main hall of Lubu did not present

any difficulties for the four of them. With the help of Fang Yanni's cover,

they quickly crossed the roof and entered the main hall from a terrace.

It was brightly lit inside.

In Xia Fan's eyes, this place is simply a library. The main hall is divided

into several floors, and you can see regular wooden shelves and densely

arranged books everywhere.

Compared with the recording department of Jinxiacheng, it is as simple as a

bookstore on the roadside.

I'm afraid that it can be compared with it, and only the library of the Luo

family.

Luo sniffed lightly, frowned slightly, "There is a smell of blood."

"Really?" Xia Fan leaned down and looked down along the gap in the stairwell-

in the lobby on the first floor, there were dozens of corpses lying all over

the place, blood staining the granite floor. Some of those corpses were

wearing imperial armor, while others were wearing black robes of the Privy

Council.
