(Li Dian POV)

Hearing that something happened to the Son of Heaven, a few of us were also shocked. Immediately after that, those two people without explaining or saying anything, moved immediately at a fast pace.

“You guys don’t stay still either, hurry up and follow me."

“Ah, yes."

Although I do not know what is going on, but in this situation, with our current status we can only follow-up right away.

Immediately after, we saw the two of them leave the outer wall, but go in from the inner side of the wall.

We then entered and found that this is the so-called inner courtyard of the palace, compared to earlier wide field we have been, here is more detailed, look around, even in the dark, you can still see the layers of green tiles and red walls.

I’ve never been in the Imperial Palace a couple of times. And entering at night is now even the first time.

After all, my official rank is not high.

“Lord Xiahou Dun, have you ever been over here?"

“I’ve been here a few times with Meng De, but it really doesn’t feel the same in the daytime and at night." Xiahou Dun looked around, “But this is the place where the Imperial family lives."

“Don’t look around."

In front of us, Wang Zi Fu shouted at us with a slightly aggravated tone, but still with a lowered voice.

“This is a restricted area of the Imperial family, you have to follow up with us."On the other side, Wu Zi Lan also said along with the voice, “Although you are new here, but if you get lost and are treated as thieves, it is certain that you will be executed on the spot."

“Ah, yes."

I nodded, moreover, I knew this point.

“But can I ask," Xiahou Dun beside me ask, “the sound of the gongs just now, what exactly is going on?"

“The gong ringing means that there is something in the palace that wants us to go there."

“I think it’s likely that the assassins have shown themselves."

Hm.

When it comes to assassins, my heart is tight.

Because of the boulder trap, our group had been scattered into several factions, and now we didn’t know which group of people they were referring to as the assassins.

But, now we can only hope that nothing happened to them. More than that, I hope that my Lord is not among them.

“But although it’s a bit inappropriate to say this, you guys are really lucky." Wang Zi Fu turned back and said, “who just came on duty and met something like this, on the one hand, you can enter the Imperial Palace without breaking the rules, and you may also be able to make a great achievement."

“Ah …… right."

My mouth promised, the heart is thinking that if they set up this merit, then it can only be considered a great righteousness.

“And then, for you guys, the more important thing is probably to meet us."

Eh ……

On the other hand, Wu Zi Lan began to brag again.

In the end, they are actually just an ordinary general of the city. However just because of being below right under the Son of Heaven, they are so proud of themselves, it is really a loss of decency for martial artists.

But on the other hand, their enthusiasm is a good thing for us.

“This way."

While thinking, they made a left turn in front and went up a side step road. We also hurried to follow.

“Lord Lu Bu, are you tired of carrying? Do you need a replacement if you’re tired?"

While going up the stairs, I remembered Lu Bu behind me, so I turned around and saw Lu Bu carrying Zhang Fei with a calm face, while Zhang Fei was completely asleep at this time.

“It’s okay, I’ll carry it."

Lu Bu said, and did not feel the slightest strain of posture. Looking down, it was found that Lu Bu’s chest armor, the puppy is also no longer moving. It seems to have also gone to sleep.

“What? Sleeping?"

Between the words, the two people in front of us then asked up.

“Ah, um. Yeah, sorry."

“Well …… in the end it’s still a kid." Wang Zi Fu crossed his waist, a look of impotence.

Whew Whew Whew ……

And I don’t know if it’s because this sentence stimulated her, although still in sleep, but Zhang Fei began to make a beast-like grunting sound.

“Eh, what a strange world. I can’t believe that even someone so young is being recruited." Wu Zi Lan let out a sigh, and in turn she continued to walk forward, “It’s okay, just fall asleep. Just stay back at some point, don’t let the people in charge of the palace’s affairs find out."

“Ah, okay."

In fact, although in general these two people are quite odd, but also belong to the category of good people.

I don’t know if this counts as a psychological change of heart, but in any case, we followed them. As for her reminder, I do feel that whether Zhang Fei is asleep or not we have to stand back. Only now Zhang Fei’s matter can be said to give us an opportunity to not show our faces.

“Ah, here it is."

Wang Zi Fu call out, and then a couple of steps trotted forward.

“You guys also follow quickly."

Wu Zi Lan called out to us, but also ran forward to go.

We looked up and saw a circle of people standing outside a house in front of us. Most of the hands hold torches and shine that area quite bright.

Well …… looks like we should stand further out.

“Probably get to the person who is far away there, it is best if you can get the person next to you and help to block you."

I explained with the two behind me, and then walked towards that side.

“This time it seems to be something big, big things."

Just halfway there, I heard the people inside start shouting.

“I didn’t expect that someone was actually going to steal something from the imperial family."

Hmm?!

As soon as these words came out, some bad premonition emerged in my heart.

Further, the voice seemed to be a little faint, in order to hear what was going on, I still had to take a few steps forward. And in front, the discussion still started up.

“Did they steal anything?"

“No, but the Son of Heaven said the former emperor came down to see him, this is clearly not the case."

“The son of heaven is still young, confused is normal."

“Why do I think he will still be confused even when he grows up?"

“Shh! Do not talk nonsense, speak in private."

The Son of Heaven …… turns out to be such a person in everyone’s mind ……

“All right, don’t say nonsense." At this time, a person with the appearance of a chief administrator walked in from the periphery, and when the firelight shone, his face was also quite tired.

“Is the Son of Heaven asleep?" Someone inquired.

“Sleeping, I checked again, indeed nothing is missing, and there is nothing wrong with the Son of Heaven’s health." The supervisor said here and let out a long sigh, “However, there is just a floor tile with lifted marks. It’s more elevated than other places."

Well ……

“Man Cheng …… Could it be ……"

“Well, don’t say anything first ……"

The more they talk, the more I think that is one of our group of people.

“Is there really an assassin?"

“Maybe it’s a thief."

Someone said, while everyone nodded along.

“Cao Cao!"

All of a sudden, a voice suddenly popped up. And all at once, it called out the name of my Lord.

“It must be Cao Cao who did it!"
