Yan Yan's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he was as nervous as a frightened bird. He grabbed his hair and screamed: "Ning Yan, run! We have been discovered!"

Ning Yan's heart was also tight, and of course what was more tight was his scalp, and he subconsciously glanced in the direction of the Privy Council.

The city was engulfed in flames of war, but there was no movement.

Dang, Dang, Dang...

Several more bells rang, simple and melodious, and the intervals between the two bells were so precise that no urgent warning could be heard from them.

Ning Yan calmed down, patted Yan Yan's little hand and said comfortingly: "Don't panic, the sound of this bell is probably used to tell the time."

"Telling the time? It's past the midnight hour, and it's still early for the ugly hour. Which hour are you telling?"

"I...I don't know, maybe it's the rules of the palace?"

Ning Yan frowned. It was probably around 11 o'clock in the evening, but now it was almost 12 o'clock in the morning. It was a bit far-fetched to tell the time.

But now he couldn't care about that much. He had to move quickly and enter Longtuge before the imperial army could react.

Dang, Dang...

The bells were still ringing, so Ning Yan simply immersed himself in his journey and soon arrived in front of Longtu Pavilion.

From the outside, Longtuge is far less grand than its name suggests. It adheres to the style of Taizu's founding, and is only three or four stories high. The dark red door is inlaid with rusty door nails, and it looks like it has been in disrepair.

.Only the plaque has some explanations. The three characters "Longtu Pavilion" with flying dragons and phoenixes are obviously written by famous artists.

The jade steps were paved from the main entrance to Ning Yan's feet. Ning Yan was not in the mood to count the number of steps at the moment and climbed up the steps to the sound of the bell.

Dang, Dang...

clang.

The moment he crossed the last step, the twelfth bell happened to ring.

This is the right time.
