Yu Tian avoided the night guards and finally arrived at the roof not far from the King's sleeping quarters. Standing on the roof, he could see every move in the King's front yard. The King's bedchamber was a three-story hall. In the capital of Tianwei, besides the main hall of the court, which had five floors, only the king's sleeping quarters had three floors. Yu Tian had gone there with his father when he was young. Although it had been many years, he still had a trace of memory.
Apart from the garden at the back of the hall, the other three sides of the hall were surrounded by high walls. There was a passage in the middle, and each high wall had a door to enter and exit. Inside the high wall, every two meters, there were night lights that emitted a dim light in the dark night. A guard stood beside each of the night lamps. The guards wore armor and were tall and sturdy. They held cold weapons in their hands, and their eyes were cold. Their expressions were calm, and they stood outside the hall like gods of war. They did not relax at all. A massive baleful aura gushed out from the crowd, making one feel intimidated.
Outside the main entrance of the King's bedchamber, there were even more guards standing. It was extremely difficult to enter through the main entrance unless one could knock all these guards unconscious. As for the back garden, because they could not see clearly, they did not know how many soldiers there were.
Other than the standing guard, there were also patrolling guards around 15 minutes later. These patrolling guards were all represented by a team leader who kept patrolling back and forth.
Yu Tian leaned on the roof and looked at the guards below. He felt helpless. In terms of lightness skills, no one could compare to the might of the heavens. However, it was not easy to enter the resting place of the King without anyone knowing. After all, there were many experts.
"Catch the assassin!"
Just as Yu Tian was thinking hard, he suddenly heard a loud shout, giving him a fright. He did not know when he had been discovered by the guards.
However, just as Yu Tian was about to escape, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. The guards below actually ran out and did not notice him at all.
In the distance, the sound of footsteps and the clashing of weapons could be heard. Then, flames soared into the sky, and torches illuminated the night red. Yu Tian frowned. He didn't know that there was someone else who would barge into the palace at night.
Currently, many of the guards outside the King's Palace had left, but the ten-some guards at the resting place had not left. They were still standing guard there, not moving at all, as if the assassin had nothing to do with them.
Yu Tian had already hardened his heart. He stepped on the tiles on the roof and leaped up. Then, he rushed towards the courtyard above ground. In the dark night, he was like an eagle that was swooping down.
"Who is it?"
The guards standing at the King's resting place saw the black shadow suddenly soar into the sky and then arrive in the courtyard. They all revealed shocked expressions and pulled out their weapons one after another, facing Yu Tian.
Yu Tian didn't say anything. He waved the five needles he had prepared in advance from his right sleeve and stabbed them at the guard outside the hall.
The three of them let out a muffled groan at the same time and fainted. The other two dodged Yu Tian's attack. The fine needles pierced into the door of the hall and made a buzzing sound.
"Bold assassin, how dare you come to assassinate the country ruler. Kill him!”
A person wearing armor outside the hall shouted at the people around him. The remaining seven people raised their weapons at the same time and stabbed at Yu Tian. Under the light of the night lamp, their weapons emitted a cold light.
Yu Tian didn't want to fight them. He turned around and jumped onto the high wall, running out. The seven guards followed closely behind him. Yu Tian knew that once he was entangled by them, it would be difficult for him to escape. The purpose of his attack was to lure these guards away so that he could enter the place where the King slept.
Yu Tian was like a phantom in the dark night, shuttling through the high walls and corridors. In the blink of an eye, he had shaken off the seven guards. Yu Tian couldn't help but return to his residence and rush to the place where the Ruler slept.
"Little thief, how dare you come to the Imperial Palace and behave atrociously?”
A loud shout sounded. Yu Tian looked over and saw a person wearing black night clothes like him jumping on the high wall 100 meters away. The Night Man was being chased by three experts from the palace. He was in a sorry state. He held his chest with his left hand and a long sword with his right hand. He kept running out of the palace door. It seemed that he was seriously injured.
Yu Tian looked at the figure of the man in black and felt that it was very familiar. However, he did not dare to stay and rushed towards the place where the King slept.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the King's resting place. Outside the hall, there were still three unconscious people lying there. He had used a thin needle to seal their fainting acupoints. It would be difficult for them to wake up without two hours. After the old poison's training, he was extremely familiar with the acupoints.
Yu Tian jumped onto the second floor of the building and entered the hall through the window. Although it was night time, there were still a few dim candles lit. The second floor was decorated luxuriously, but Yu Tian was not in the mood to look.
Yu Tian found the stairs and jumped down. After all, the Ruler lived on the lower level.
"Who is it?"
A voice filled with vigor yet calm sounded. Yu Tian followed the voice and saw an old man sitting on the bed under the dim light of the lamp. He was looking at Yu Tian in black.
"Ruler, I am Yu Tian from the Great General Yu, so…"
Before Yu Tian could finish speaking, a flurry of footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall, followed by a series of hurried knocks on the door. Yu Tian could not help but stop talking.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The sound of knocking on the door was unusually loud in the dark night. Yu Tian looked at the Ruler, and the Ruler looked at Yu Tian. The two of them looked at each other for a while before the Ruler suddenly said in a steady voice,""What happened outside the hall? Why is it so noisy!"
The knocking on the door from outside the hall came to an abrupt stop. A person outside the hall said,"Please forgive me, Ruler. There were two assassins in the palace just now. One of them has escaped from the palace and is being chased by the experts of the palace.”
The Country Ruler glanced at Yu Tian and knew everything. He said with some anger,""I'm fine. Quickly go and find that assassin. Don't let him escape!”
"Yes, Ruler!"
Immediately after, the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside the hall. Yu Tian was relieved at this moment and rejoiced that the Ruler did not expose his whereabouts.
After the country master finished speaking, he hurried to his room and stared at Yu Tian. His voice was filled with excitement as he said,""You really are the son of Duke Yu!"
The son of Duke Yu. Yu Tian had a look of shock on his face. He didn't think that the ruler of a country would be so respectful to his father. He knew from his heart that the word 'Duke' wasn't something that ordinary people could match. For the ruler of a country to address his respected father in such a manner, it was obvious how much his father held in the ruler's heart.
"That's right, I am Yu Xiangtian's son, Yu Tian!”Yu Tian cupped his hands respectfully towards the King.
The old country ruler hurriedly pulled Yu Tian up. His originally aged face suddenly flashed with a trace of brilliance, and his gaze towards Yu Tian also carried a trace of amazement.
"You are one of those assassins!" The old King said in a gentle voice.”
Yu Tian wanted to say something but hesitated. However, when he saw the expectant look in the old King's eyes, Yu Tian nodded and said,""That's right, that's right. However, I really have something difficult to say, so I entered the palace at night!”
The old King stroked his beard that was mixed with strands of white and said,""The Yu Family is my savior!”
As he spoke, the old King could not help but shed tears. The hand that was holding Yu Tian's hand was even trembling. Yu Tian was extremely shocked. Could it be that the country ruler had really encountered three difficulties?
"Ruler, what are you doing?" Yu Tian asked in confusion.
The old King did not immediately answer Yu Tian. He suddenly turned around and walked to the window. He looked outside and said,""Three generations of loyal Yu Family members have done their best to protect the people of Heaven's Might!”
When Yu Tian heard the King suddenly mention Yu Tian's ancestors, he immediately knelt down and said,""Yu Tian swore to defend the heavenly might and is willing to resist all external forces!”
No matter what, Yu Tian had promised his father that he would help Tianwei get through this crisis. Therefore, for Tianwei and the place where he had lived for fifteen years, Yu Tian could not stand by and watch.
The old King turned around and looked at Yu Tian, who was kneeling down. His expression was calm and collected as he said,""Are you really willing to continue the mission of your Yu Family ancestors, to protect the comfort of Heaven's Might?”
"I'm willing!" Yu Tian raised his head and stared at the old country leader.
The old King looked at Yu Tian's determined eyes. After a long time, he came in front of Yu Tian and helped him up. He sighed,""Duke Yu, the heavenly might is dangerous!"
