However, the defense in the west is much stronger than that in the south. It can be seen that the prime minister and his men have invested heavily. If the guard force of the entire palace can be divided into ten parts, then the west accounts for four parts.
There are guards patrolling everywhere here, much more frequently than in the south.
Basically, as soon as one team leaves, the next team comes out immediately.
The team coming out from behind could even see the team in front. With such frequent patrols, there was no chance for Zhao Ji to take advantage of the situation.
So Zhao Ji could only watch the situation from the sidelines.
Almost got discovered.
Now Zhao Ji could hardly move forward, and at this moment, suddenly someone's shouting was heard from the western and southern borders.
It's nothing more than an assassin sneaking in.
It immediately attracted the attention of the people in the west.
Zhao Ji understood that it must be that Tian Chao found out that he had not been successful for a long time and deliberately created some chaos to help him find an opportunity.
Zhao Ji really didn't expect that his good deeds in the past could actually be exchanged for Tian Zhao's great help.
All I can say is that fate in this world is arranged by destiny.
With the south attracting attention, the defense here was indeed in chaos. Taking this opportunity, Zhao Ji rushed directly to the vicinity of the emperor's bedroom.
And climbed over the wall.
As a result, as soon as the person flipped in, he immediately felt a slight chill on his neck.
When he looked down, he saw an extremely long sword on his neck. There was some blood on the sword, and the blood had not yet dried.
Obviously, this sword had killed someone just now.
Zhao Ji smiled and grabbed the sword, then pushed it aside: "Lord Yueying, how are you?"
Just a moment ago, Zhao Ji identified the person behind him as Yueying through her breath, so he did not resist much.
Yueying was breathing heavily, her eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that she hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.
When Yueying saw the familiar face of Zhao Ji, she was slightly stunned, and then she relaxed completely.
Once this person lets go of that energy, he will never be able to stand up again.
This situation refers to the moon shadow.
Zhao Ji hurriedly helped the limp Yueying up and walked towards the courtyard, only to see that the floor of the emperor's bedroom was filled with corpses.
And it’s all fresh.
It was probably just now that these people entered the emperor's bedroom with the intention of doing something bad, but they were all killed by Yueying's sword.
Zhao Ji observed carefully and found that even though Yueying was so tired and weak, no one else came out to support her.
Now this is a very bad situation.
In the entire emperor's bedroom, Yueying is the only living person!
This means that Yueying is the only one left in the emperor's elite secret guard team.
"It seems that the situation is worse than I thought!" Zhao Ji's expression was more solemn than ever before.
Although Yueying collapsed due to exhaustion and relaxation, her consciousness was still strong and she remained awake.
"The emperor is now in a deep sleep, probably because he has been poisoned. There is a mechanism under the dragon bed in the emperor's bedroom. When the mechanism is opened, there is a secret passage. This secret passage can lead to the outside of the palace. Only the royal family knows this."
"The Emperor struggled to remind me once, and then told me this method, but I no longer have the energy to arrange all of this. There are more than a dozen assassinations of all sizes every day, and my manpower is constantly being depleted."
"If you continue like this, you will eventually die here. You take the emperor away tonight!"
Yueying's expression was particularly solemn.
Obviously, there is no way out now, and we can only give it a try.
Zhao Ji didn't say anything, but carried Yueying to the emperor's bedroom.
Now the emperor is sleeping on the dragon's face in the bedroom, with a sunken face, and it seems that he is not living well.
Considering so many assassinations, I'm afraid the prime minister won't be able to arrange any good doctors and meals for the emperor.
Now the prime minister must be wishing that the emperor would die immediately.
Only in this way can he help the third prince to the throne.
Although Yueying was exhausted, after dealing with assassinations for so many days, she gradually adapted to this intensity, so she recovered relatively quickly.
Now I can barely hold myself up and stand.
At this moment, a sound of breaking air suddenly came from outside the window.
Zhao Ji immediately stretched out his hand to block a hidden weapon, which fell to the ground.
"Here we go again!" Yueying's voice was filled with unprecedented fatigue, but she still habitually raised the sword in her hand and prepared to go out.
"Don't go out!" Zhao Ji stretched out his hand to stop Yueying, and at the same time used the fan in his hand to block several rounds of hidden weapons.
"How can we not go out? If we let these people step into the emperor's bedroom, all our efforts and lives will be wasted!"
Yueying has killed so many people that she has become numb to it.
Zhao Ji sighed, let Yueying sit on the chair, and then slowly said: "You should have a good rest. You were alone before, but now I am here, right? You should be assured of my martial arts!"
"Take this time to take care of your heart. We will transport the emperor out later!"
Zhao Ji deliberately described the retreat in a very relaxed tone, in fact, he was trying to slowly ease Yueying's extremely tense emotions.
At the same time, a new round of hidden weapons were thrown into the room.
The force of the hidden weapons became stronger and stronger, which was enough to show that the assassin outside was getting closer and closer. Zhao Ji kicked open the window and turned over without saying a word.
As expected, there were about twenty black-clad and masked assassins in the yard.
Zhao Ji laughed. With the palace so heavily guarded, how could so many people just appear out of nowhere?
It is obvious that the prime minister is extremely anxious.
Those guards were not guarding against these assassins, but people like Zhao Ji who could come to help the emperor. Now the entire palace is no longer safe.
But now is not the time to think about these things. Zhao Ji just pulled out a long sword from a corpse lying on the ground and slashed at the man in black closest to him.
Zhao Ji's body movements were strange and agile, and his steps were elusive. Even if Zhao Ji did not make a move to block them, those hidden weapons were dodged by Zhao Ji one after another.
And taking advantage of these opportunities, Zhao Ji killed seven or eight killers one by one with his sword.
Originally, the reason why this wave of killers came at this time was to reap the rewards, because they received news that the killers from the previous round had been almost wiped out.
Unexpectedly, they encountered a tough guy like Zhao Ji as soon as they came in. He easily eliminated one-third of their personnel.
