Although the National Day celebration is tomorrow, the night before it is already very lively.

A festive atmosphere enveloped the entire imperial capital.

However, some senior officials who knew the inside story knew that under this festive atmosphere, there were undercurrents!

When Lin Hao arrived at the south gate of the imperial capital, he saw that the city defenses were obviously stricter than before.

They were almost fully armed and looked murderous.

Perhaps because the celebration is approaching, the number of people flocking from all over the country to watch the excitement is increasing.

Even though it was already night, there was still a lot of traffic at the city gate, with long queues waiting for security checks by the city defense soldiers.

Lin Hao dressed up as Jing Ke, mingled with the crowd, and prepared to enter the city.

"Hey, have you heard that the Border Guard Army under General Qin has mobilized 100,000 troops a few days ago and stationed them beside the canal outside the city."

"Yes, I have heard the news too. In previous celebrations, the Border Guards never made such a big fuss. Could something big be happening?"

"Don't make a fuss. I guess they were sent by General Qin to assist the city defense forces and maintain order in the imperial capital."

"That's right. Ever since General Qin took up residence at the border, the originally chaotic war situation has quickly calmed down. Now, taking advantage of the celebration, we have enough energy to mobilize some people back to assist."

In the crowd, when talking about the Border Guard Army and Qin Xiong, everyone showed respect on their faces and talked freely.

Listening to the discussions around him, Lin Hao was slightly surprised.

It seems that Qin Yu's father is quite capable. He directly transferred 100,000 troops from the border, intending to use them to intimidate the rebels in the city who were planning to do evil.

Moreover, the troops on the border have been fighting all year round. Compared with the city defense troops deep in the imperial capital, they are much stronger and more fierce, both in terms of combat effectiveness and morale!

With such a powerful army backing them up, Lin Hao felt that nothing major would happen during tomorrow's celebration.

Of course, this is not absolute.

If the rebel forces were planning a coup, they would naturally think of the Border Guard Army and include it in their planned strategies. There must be some unexpected means to intercept them.

While thinking in his mind, Lin Hao had already followed the crowd and walked to the city gate.

"stop!"

Because of Lin Hao's mysterious attire, he immediately attracted the attention of the city defense soldiers responsible for security checks.

A deep shout was heard, and several city defense soldiers immediately came over quickly with great momentum.

The leading security captain was a middle-aged man with a resolute face and murderous eyes. He was obviously a ruthless man who had been through the battlefield.

"Where are you from? What's your name?!"

He placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, stared at Lin Hao vigilantly, and asked.

"A man from the Great Yan Dynasty, Jing Ke."

Lin Hao replied in a low, calm voice.

Jing Ke?

The security captain frowned slightly, looked at the strangely dressed Lin Hao, and shouted: "Take off the mask on your face!"

"unnecessary."

Lin Hao said indifferently: "My face was burned by fire. If I take it off, I'm afraid it will scare you."

"Oh? Then I'd like to see how scary it is."

Hearing this, the security captain felt that the person in front of him was even more suspicious, and immediately shouted: "This person's whereabouts are unknown, search him and take off his mask!"

"yes."

Two sentries immediately came over in response.

Lin Hao's eyes darkened slightly, and an invisible mental force suddenly spread out.

"Spiritual power! He's a mage?!"

Feeling the powerful mental aura from Lin Hao, the two sentries were suddenly stunned and did not dare to step forward to search him.

Those guarding the city gates like them are only at the level of third or fourth level warriors. Facing high-level warriors, there is no way they can defeat them.

At this moment, Lin Hao clearly sensed that dozens of powerful auras on the city wall had instantly locked onto him.

Those powerful martial artists whose aura and strength are no less than his.

Although Lin Hao was not afraid in his heart, he did not want to cause trouble because of such a small matter.

"This is my ID, I hope you can understand it."

Lin Hao said indifferently, and directly took out a black token that Zi Ye had given him from the storage ring.

In this situation, we have no choice but to reveal the identity of Ming Ge.

"That's it?"

"What the hell?"

The two sentries were startled and looked at him suspiciously.

However, the black token looked like a jade artifact and was obviously made of an extremely rare black jade.

There are some strange patterns engraved on its surface, with the word "Ming" engraved in the middle.

"This is Ming..."

Upon seeing this, the security captain's pupils shrank, and he hastily swallowed the word "阁".

He looked at the crowd watching the excitement around him, and dared not reveal Lin Hao's identity as Ming Ge here.

This assassin employed by the King of Fire was many times more senior than a small security captain like him.

As for strength, he can be killed in minutes!

"Sir, please forgive us for offending you just now. Please come in."

At that moment, the security team leader nodded and bowed, with an extremely respectful attitude.

And when Lin Hao's identity token was discovered, the dozens of powerful auras on the city wall disappeared in an instant.

No matter who they are, assassins have always been objects of fear.

After entering the city, Lin Hao went straight to the Jinhai Pavilion Restaurant in the west of the city.

That is where the Underworld organization gathers.

Tonight, all the members of the Underworld Pavilion scattered across the country will gather together.

This time when entering the city, Lin Hao truly experienced what a lively and bustling city was like.

Although it was late at night, the busy streets were brightly lit and crowded with people.

The shops that were originally supposed to close at this time now all opened their doors for business.

After all, this is the grand celebration held once every ten years in the Great Yan Dynasty.

There was not only a military parade of the Imperial Guards and the Royal Guards, but also a grand magic show.

Under such circumstances, it undoubtedly attracted a large number of people to flock to the imperial capital Yancheng.

For a time, the already prosperous imperial capital became even more crowded.

All the hotels in the city were almost full.

Especially for those hotels near the central square of the imperial palace, the prices have soared by more than ten times due to the location.

However, even so, with such high guest prices, guest rooms are still in short supply.

On the street, Lin Hao shuttled among the dense crowd.

As the body movements of the wind realm were performed, his steps were light, like a wave of wind, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

The people around him couldn't touch him at all.

Soon, Lin Hao arrived at the destination of this trip, Jinhai Pavilion.

At this time, a piece of red paper was seen hanging outside the Jinhai Pavilion store.

It said 'Closed' on it.

Obviously, in order to avoid being disturbed by outsiders, this place, as the gathering point of the Minge organization, is naturally temporarily closed.

Lin Hao walked to the door of the store and knocked twice.

"who?"

Soon, a cold male voice came from inside the house.
