Rebirth of the Phoenix

rainy night phantom

During the Qingming Festival, it rains heavily. The endless drizzle has been falling for three whole days. The entire palace is soaked, and the ground is covered with a blanket made of rainwater. The rainy night in early April is extremely cold. Looking at it, there is a damp and cold feeling in the darkness, a gloomy feeling in the mist, a kind of endless bleakness, which makes people feel depressed. At this time, every palace has its doors and windows closed, there is nothing important, and no one wants to go out. The palace door of Zichen Palace opened, and Luo Hongzhuang, wearing a raincoat and carrying a big trash can, walked out with some difficulty. The two gatekeepers glanced at her, and then looked at the gray and rainy night, filled with His face was written with impatience and irritability. On a rainy night like this, he should stay in a warm room, drink some wine, and gamble a little. Staying here is cold, wet, and deserted. It's really boring. It's still early before the shift change time. It's really boring. She wanted time to fly faster. Luo Hongzhuang took out the garbage at the right time. She went out before the shift and came back after the shift. The time difference in between was enough for her to do a lot of things. Finally, she waited for a night like this, where the doors were closed everywhere, and there was no way. When people move around, their sight is poor. After she took out the trash, she walked silently in the darkness, blending into the night. Unless she was directly illuminated by a street light, even the best-sighted person would not notice her. She felt Now she is really a dead person, walking without a sound. She is obviously about to do something cruel and dangerous, but her heart is so calm that it almost stops. The direction she is going is opposite to the direction of Zichen Palace. She She has traveled everywhere she can, and has deeply remembered everything she can see. She has reviewed this map countless times. She will not get lost or take any wrong path. Path. The route she took was the darkest, most hidden, and safest route to ensure that she would not be discovered by the Ouchi guards who were patrolling on such a rainy night. After walking a long way, she hid behind a towering tree. , waiting quietly. Not long after, a group of imperial guards came over. The few guards walking in front were holding palace lanterns in their hands. In such a rainy night, they had no energy. The team was scattered, their steps were irregular, and they didn't pay much attention to their surroundings. It was impossible to see the movement clearly. After they passed by her, Luo Hongzhuang turned out from behind the big tree, lowered her head, and followed them silently. When she was at the garbage dump, she put on a disguise. The exposed face and hands were blackened, and the waist was wrapped thickly with a strip of cloth several times. The chest was flush with the abdomen, so that the woman's figure was no longer obvious. Her hair was combed into the style most commonly worn by Ouchi guards. The clothes, shoes and socks she wore were exactly the same as those of the Ouchi guards. She had carefully observed the outfits of the Ouchi guards and secretly made an identical outfit for tonight's action. Her memory is very good, and the female worker also did a great job. She is outstanding and can act well. Her current appearance, except that she is shorter, is no different from that of the Ouchi guards. Although her face is still that of a woman, who will take a closer look at her face at this time? Drizzle, late at night , the street lights are dim, the team is scattered, the spirit is sluggish, and who noticed that there is an extra person behind the team who does not belong to the team? What’s more, this person behaves very naturally, looks like them, and always takes directions that cannot be illuminated by street lights. Go, there is nothing suspicious at all. On such a rainy night, these guards were in no mood to chat and joke. They just wanted to end the night patrol early and go back to bed. No one talked to her, so she followed them everywhere without panicking. She had already observed it. It was already time to change shifts. These Ouchi guards were walking back to the barracks on duty at the back door of the palace. The barracks of the Guards were not far away from them. As long as she could enter the camp, she could find the barracks of the Guards. Find the "Seven Swords". A little palace maid dared to sneak into the guard barracks of Ouchi at night to murder the guards. She was really bold, but she had such courage. As long as she was calm and brave enough, she would dare to go anywhere Go and dare to do anything, just like when he saved Ye Qingge in front of heavy pursuers. These guards never found out that one of them was an outsider. They inadvertently took this outsider back to the barracks on duty. , the guards guarding the entrance and exit of the barracks were old acquaintances with them, and the two sides greeted each other. The guard guard casually glanced at their team and saw nothing unusual, so he let them in. The captain of this team was too lazy to behave like usual. The same process of forming the team and counting the number of people was done, and after a few words of instruction, the men were sent to disperse. Luo Hongzhuang lowered her head, hid in the darkness, and walked towards the more elegant room at the other end of the barracks. She inquired about the duty barracks of the Guards. It was much more elegant than the ordinary guards' barracks. It was located at the east end of the camp and was not connected to the ordinary barracks. She knew where to go after looking at it. According to the rules of the palace, the Ouchi guards could not stay in the palace, but for the sake of The rescue was timely and the movement was convenient. The palace was still on the inside of the harem gate. A long strip was surrounded by a low wall and a barracks was built for the guards on duty to change clothes and rest at night. During non-duty hours, all guards You cannot leave the barracks without permission, otherwise you will be treated as trespassing into the palace and will be punished with beheading. The Guards are the personal bodyguards of the emperor, queen and prince. They live in the palace and are on call at any time. Of course, the "Seven Swordsmen" will not live outside. .At this time, the guards who had just returned to the camp for the night had all gone back to their houses to rest. No one wanted to continue to be exposed to the cold wind and drizzle outside, and no one noticed Luo Hongzhuang's actions. Luo Hongzhuang walked all the way to the east end of the " "Special Zone", there are connected courtyards. They are not big, but the decoration is no less than that of a large private house. Each room has a cold and gloomy atmosphere. She can smell the smell of blood coming from these courtyards. .Because their residents are all killing machines. Wherever they go, there is an aura of death. Which room is the residence of the "Seven Knives"?
