"Prince, Miss Yan, please come here."

When we walked in, the door behind us was closed, leaving only the faint candlelight in front. Pei Yuanhao still put his sleeves into my palm. I pinched the sleeves and slowly followed him up the wooden steps. I could hear the creaking sound in the darkness. In a short while, I reached the second floor.

Immediately, the person who led the way blew out the candlestick.

But here, the moonlight sprinkled in from the window, illuminating the tables and chairs beside the bed, as if they were coated with a layer of silver light. The man walked over and put down a bamboo curtain on the window. The fine bamboo joints blocked the moonlight by eight or nine out of ten, leaving only a very faint light, which could make people barely recognize what was in front of him.

Pei Yuanhao and I walked over slowly, he sat down with the back of the chair, and then pointed at the opposite side of him.

I walked over and sat down.

When I looked out further, I could see the city walls with distinct outlines under the moonlight, the city towers patrol teams, and several rows of soldiers standing straight, and I immediately understood.

This is the east gate of Linfen City.

Not long after we sat down, someone brought hot tea, but no one drank it. He only watched two pillars of smoke rising from the tea bowl under the moonlight, slowly spreading in the night, and soon disappeared into the moonlight, as if it had never existed. He sat opposite him, and a stream of fine moonlight hit his face, unable to see his expression, and could only feel the bright eyes flashing slightly in the night.

He was waiting for those people to appear, but-

I whispered, "Your Majesty, are you sure those people will act tonight?"

He said in a deep voice: "If those people are really the people he sent, then tonight should be their best chance."

I think so, Zhang Ziyu could even think of the sudden attack at night after a big battle during the day and attacking him unpreparedly. So would the other party have such an idea?

If this is true, then the situation will become "interesting".

only--

Pei Yuanhao's voice slowly rang again: "If the person lurking in the city was not sent by him, then we might have been in vain tonight."

What he meant was that if these people were cold people, then their purpose was not to open the city gate and lead the wolf into the house.

I didn't say anything, but just reached out and prepared to pick up the teacup and take a sip.

But just as my hand was about to touch the edge of the teacup, suddenly, I heard a whoosh sound in the quiet night sky.

The sound was so thin, like a flying insect passing by at night.

But then, I heard a strange sound coming from below.

I hurriedly approached the window and saw that a soldier guarding the city had fallen silently.

What's going on?
