Chapter 786: Assassination in the Palace, Crisis Approaches

At the same time.

Beside a rockery, Guard Wu was wearing a eunuch's robe and was a bit confused.

"Little Dezi, where the hell did you bring me?"

"Where is the path that must be taken between the Imperial Study and the Imperial Palace gate?"

Guard Wu lowered his voice, looked at the thin youth in front of him, and couldn't help but speak to him.

"Big Brother, the palace is complex, and we aren't allowed to walk around randomly. Let's wait here for a while; otherwise, there's no way to get past."

"In half an hour, the guards will change shifts. There will be a period of time the length of an incense stick where we can go over and ambush."

Guard Wu looked at Little Dezi and the few death soldiers left behind, feeling unwilling.

"Half an hour, plus the time to get there—that Living Yama will probably have already left the palace. Once he leaves the palace, with his guards, we won't have any chance to make a move!"

Little Dezi said with a face full of guilt, "Big Brother, this is all my problem, delaying such a major event."

Guard Wu sighed and said, "Don't blame yourself. The Imperial Palace is complex and full of perverts. It's already been extremely difficult for you to be here. If this plan doesn't work, it's destiny!"

"Where did we run to? Forget it, let's go back first. There will be plenty of time in the future, so there's no need to rush; we'll just find another opportunity!"

Little Dezi said, "Not far ahead is the Empress Dowager's bedchamber. It's easier to hide here."

Guard Wu originally wanted to say something else.

Suddenly.

His expression changed, and he made a gesture for silence, "Someone is coming!"

Upon hearing this, Little Dezi and Guard Wu flashed their bodies, and the few of them all squatted down, holding their breath and concentrating.

But none of them had any interest in checking, as their target was not near the Empress Dowager's bedchamber.

At this time, the voice of a guard rang out.

"Lord Gao, you can't go that way. That is the bedchamber of Imperial Consort Leng. We are not allowed to get close; it's a capital offense!"

"This official just saw a big black rat crawl in, so I was curious and took two extra looks. Is helping to catch a big black rat also a capital offense?"

"Lord Gao, the palace maids and eunuchs will catch the big black rat, so we don't need to. Lord Gao, walk this way."

A burst of talking sounded, and the sound went from far to near, becoming clearer and clearer.

Guard Wu raised his eyes almost instantly, a flash of shock passing through them.

This voice...

He would never forget it even if he were turned to ash! ===== CHAPTER 788 =====
