Chapter 209. Dark Arrow

Among the royal family in the late Qing Dynasty, Zaifeng was the first prince to visit the West.

It is also because of this visit to Germany that the 18-year-old Zaifeng showed a maturity that was inconsistent with his age. His reasonable, beneficial, and concise style not only won the praise of diplomats and international public opinion in Western China, but also won the favor and further promotion of Cixi.

This step started with his repentance of the marriage and extremely obediently fulfilling Cixi's thoughts and marrying the daughter of Guarjia, the eldest daughter of Cixi's best friend Ronglu. Since then, it has been a long journey...

Although he is still the prince, he has also served as the important military positions such as the Manchu general and the Minister of Military Affairs. At the same time, all the duties and standards in the mansion are between the prince and the prince.

Those powerful people who were secretly jealous of Zaifeng's luck did not know that this open-minded prince, who was famous for his Westernization, had no interest in military affairs in private.

After passing by Germany, Zaifeng became more and more interested in astronomy. Every time there is a lunar eclipse or solar eclipse, he had to observe carefully and draw it into fine-brush figures and record it in his diary.

Zaifeng also liked mathematics. He looked at things like this from the West, and believed that the Qing court should imitate Germany and establish a military system with the royal family as the core, rather than being arrogant and willing to be threatened by local governors.

Of course, the more thoughts he had in his heart, the less he would show a slightest sign when he was so sensitive. Those hobbies that seemed to be distracted from being fun and his habit of having heavy troops to guard the mansion were all "easy and generous" that was highly praised by Cixi.

He knew that he was still young and could definitely be able to wait. Even though Cixi was strong, she had not had much time to go. In addition, there were Yuan Shikai's men and officials...

However, just when Zaifeng was full of ambition and was enjoying the leisure of the first month at home, a group of black shadows quietly climbed up the high wall of Prince Chun's mansion...

Because it was the first month of the year, there were a little more lights in Prince Chun’s mansion. Except for those rooms, they did not dare to leave lights. They were like pavilions, towers, water pavilions, rockery, and red lanterns everywhere.

The customs in the north, from the New Year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the lights that can be lit are as constant as possible, which also caused certain trouble for Yang Meng and others. However, although the lights have not been turned off, people cannot sleep. By about 2 a.m., the entire Prince Chun mansion was already silent.

Except for a few guards who occasionally walk around the palace to look for it.

After practicing martial arts to this level, relying solely on the force of your fingers, you can climb up to the two-meter-high courtyard wall. Yang Meng exerted force with his hands and feet, following the force of his swallowing and contracting in his palm, wandering against the wall like a gecko, approaching the tall yard guard.

The tall man had a white face and no beard. A pungent fragrance came from afar, and a faint scent came from afar, but Yang Meng still did not dare to be careless. The royal snake guards were also masters from eunuchs. If he shouted like this, he might be able to hear it clearly in the entire palace.

When later generations talk about eunuchs, they always felt that they were extremely cunning or powerless. However, since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the role of these eunuchs in many fields was often beyond that of ordinary guards or experts in a certain field.

The tall man's steps are steady, and he is from martial arts at first glance. Although he cannot practice hard skills due to his physical limitations, Yang Meng still saw a trace of the snake guard from his confident steps.

Of course, even the eight-faced snake guard that Yuan Shikai said was only dead when facing Yang Meng, let alone this snake guard with a normal face.

Yang Meng turned over and fell to the ground, as if the feathers were silent. Then he stepped on his burly body of more than 1.80 meters, and suddenly shrank like a monkey squatting. Between the rise and fall, he had already put his palm on the back of the tall man.

The secret force in his hand was slightly exhaled, and the tall eunuch's eyes became dark. When he realized it, he heard Yang Meng whisper in his ear: "If you want to live, don't make a sound, nod, if you want to die, I will just send you a ride..."

Because he had practiced martial arts, the tall eunuch naturally understood in his heart that he controlled the secret force in his hands as he wanted, as Yang Meng was so willing to control the secret force in his hand. Obviously, his martial arts had reached the level of transformation. Even if he wanted to shout out loud, he would probably be pressed back with a palm and take away his life.

The tall eunuch nodded, not daring to look back.

Yang Meng smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand to let the people who sneaked into the palace quietly disperse, "Prince Chun's eldest son Puyi is in that room. What's your name? Is there a snake guard in the palace?"

The tall man's eyes moved slightly, and he was about to answer in a low voice, but he felt his chest stuffy and could not make any sound. "Think clearly before you can say it clearly. If you answer wrong, you will first cut off your foot first. If you answer wrong twice, break your limbs three times. If you go back to the west, don't think about venting information. If I don't want you to speak, you will not be able to make no sound!"

The eunuch's face twitched twice, and the sweat on his forehead was not feeling relieved. After thinking about it carefully, he whispered: "Miss Gao Shengnu, there are four snake guards outside the west wing of the house in the palace. The eldest son Puyi is inside. I advise you not to take risks..."

Ga!

Yang Meng exerted a little force on his hand, and the eunuch's right hand holding the lantern made a sound of bone cracking, but the pain in his chest could not be cut in his throat. Another muffled pain in his heart forced him to hold it back.

"How to get close to there, there are secret codes along the way. Don't even think about it if you say one more word..."

The sudden pain of broken hands, coupled with the means that people could not even speak, made the tall eunuch completely collapse. Thinking of the ruthlessness of killing stars behind him, the tall eunuch nodded quickly, and then said in a low voice: "There is no secret code, and the snake guards naturally recognize it. Except for Prince Chun and his wife, anyone else who approaches the room will directly warn..."

Yang Meng nodded, looked at the tall eunuch's sweaty look and gently pulled the palm of his heart back, "Very good, lie here now and don't scream, jump out of the wall little by little, I guarantee you will not die..."

The tall eunuch was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, carefully retreated back little by little, and watched Yang Meng disappear into the night in a blink of an eye, immediately opened his mouth to shout, but suddenly felt his heart twitching again, and then he saw a cold-faced woman appearing on top of his head, shook her head and sighed, "If you didn't want to yell, you wouldn't have caused the hidden power that Uncle Master buried in your heart, you're stupid..."

Chen Zhen and others walked by quietly, Qingzhou pulled Gong Ruomei casually, "Come over now, the master and the others have all gone. I am afraid that I can't even see how to do it..."

The lights leading to the west wing gradually dimmed all the way. Yang Meng, Li Cunyi, Li Ruidong and Gong Baotian were moving very quickly. Although his feet were rushing on the eaves of the walls, they were like raccoons and monkeys, and there was no sound at all. When the secret whistle ambushed on the roof found the four people, they had been touched by Gong Baotian. They poked the palm of their hands in the heart, and they were silently dealt with without even humming.

The four of them looked at each other and quietly turned their eyes to the west wing. The two snake guards with dark faces outside the door were tall and bulging, and they could tell at first that they were masters of practicing horizontal kung fu from outside. As for the other two snake guards, they were hiding in the room, so they were difficult to see.

Yang Meng and Gong Baotian were both fast, and both took monkeys as their names. Almost in the blink of an eye, they jumped from the roof at the same time. With the gravity of their bodies falling, they turned the swords in their hands into two sharp cold lights...

Two cold lights of silver and green were like flying swallows circling around in the air, which made the two rare foreign masters lit up their eyes. Although their bodies had instinctively made counterattacks, they felt a chill and ache in their throats when they were halfway through the four punches. Then they collapsed all over and died in front of Yang Meng and Gong Baotian inexplicably...

Hissing...

Two blood rays burst out, Yang Meng and Gong Baotian frowned without any sense of brows. Just as Li Ruidong and Li Cunyi looked in the room and were ready to take action at any time, a huge sense of crisis suddenly came to the four people...

The hairy scalp was numb, Yang Meng stretched out like a black ape, grabbed the body and rushed out quickly...

"Go away!"

Whoosh swish swish swish!

There were a burst of dense sounds of bowstrings, and the cold arrows suddenly burst out in the west wing. Fortunately, Yang Meng pulled the body while jumping, otherwise it would be difficult to avoid the sound of puffs...

The four of them fell into the yard in a mess. They instinctively looked at the corpse, but then they heard a sharp whistle suddenly coming from the west wing room that penetrated the sky!

Li Ruidong looked at Li Cunyi and shook his head, and suddenly couldn't help laughing: "Haha, it's worthy of being a snake guard who can transform into the transformation and the gods. Since that's the case, it's better to make a bigger mess and let all the masters in the palace come out and take a walk!"
