I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

After finishing his meal, Shen Changgong left the restaurant through the back door.

He first went to a clothing store, and after entering, he asked,

"Boss, do you have any night clothes?"

The shopkeeper looked at Shen Changgong in his official robes and said quickly,

"Sir, you're such a joke! How could my shop sell that kind of stuff? Those are the kind of things that thieves and robbers wear. We're a legitimate shop, so we don't sell that kind of stuff."

Shen Changgong paid a small amount of silver.

"I want to use."

“Of course.”

The shopkeeper's expression changed very quickly.

A smile appeared on Shen Changgong's lips.

"Take me to choose a few."

"Sir, please follow me up to the attic."

The shopkeeper brought Shen Changgong to the top of the attic, where a wide variety of nightgowns were displayed on a shelf.

Some are embroidered with gold edges, some are embroidered with various flowers, birds, and animals. There is a wide variety of items to choose from.

"You call this a nightgown?"

Shen Changgong frowned and looked at the shopkeeper.

This is more like clothes that young men use to show off.

"Yes, you see, this style will definitely not affect your temperament..."

"I want the pure black one, with a headscarf and a face mask."

"some."

Shen Changgong selected several pure black night clothes, which were tight-fitting and had many buckles, making them very suitable for being worn by a killer.

"Sir, we also have soft armor, face shields, knockout potions, swords, daggers, and darts. Do you need them?"

Shen Changgong was shocked.

"Is this a f*cking clothing store?"

It feels like you go to the mall to buy clothes, but the store owner asks you if you want a bulletproof vest and a rifle.

"Well...anything you wear on your body counts as clothing. Since we're a small business, we need to sell a little bit of everything."

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly.

He vaguely guessed who the person in front of him was.

He was very young, wearing a military robe, and very handsome, looking very much like the legendary Grand Commandant Shen Changgong.

He also didn't know why the ruthless Shen Qingtian bought a nightgown, fearing that he would be charged with illegal business operation.

He heard that a brothel was closed in the afternoon.

Shen Changgong became interested.

"That's great. If you have everything here, I don't have to go out. Show me what you said.

Don't worry, as long as you don't dare to do anything illegal, I won't touch you, and I may even become your regular customer."

"That's fine, that's fine."

The shopkeeper smiled with relief and opened a secret door behind the clothes rack.

After Shen Changgong entered, he saw a wide variety of hidden weapons, soft armor and other items.

It’s hard to run a clothing store without a side job these days.

Shen Changgong first selected a few darts, a few bottles of secret medicine powder, and chose the best silver wire soft armor that could prevent cutting with sharp weapons.

Finally, an iron mask that could protect the mouth and nose caught his attention.

The mask was dark in color, with sharp edges and corners, and looked hideous and terrifying, giving people a visually terrifying impact.

He was immediately attracted by the mask. He picked it up and put it on his face. The cold touch instantly aroused the murderous intent in him.

"I want this."

Shen Changgong originally planned to buy a veil and wear it often in the future.

It can prevent the enemy from recognizing him, and it can also prevent the opponent's blood and brain matter from flying into his mouth and nose when he kills people. But now it seems that this half-face iron mask is good and can also protect against sharp weapons.

He paid the money, put on a nightgown, and asked the shopkeeper to send someone to deliver the other clothes to the security army camp.

In order to get rid of the possible shadow guard sentries, Shen Changgong jumped directly from the window of the attic's back door.

There was a small alley behind him. He jumped onto the roof of the opposite house and jumped through it quickly.

The night was as dark as ink. Shen Changgong was wearing a black nightgown, as if he had merged into the boundless darkness.

He lurked silently on the outskirts of the Shadow Guard Organization, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes, like a cheetah in the dark, ready to strike at the right moment.

The compound of the Shadow Guard Organization was heavily guarded, and the patrolling guards marched in unison, but Shen Changgong could sense a bit of slackness.

But soon, he discovered several secret sentries: one on the treetop, three on the roof, and one in each shadowy corner.

These places seem to be well defended, but in Shen Changgong's opinion, they are full of loopholes.

He smiled slightly, and with a flash of his figure, he disappeared into the darkness.

Shen Changgong first walked around the mansion and thoroughly observed the terrain.

It is surrounded by walls and has many large houses inside. The house in the middle is extremely spacious. According to Gongsun Wan'er, that is where the shadow guards train.

Normally at this time, most of the Shadow Guards except those on duty would be asleep, but tonight, these people were going to greet their new leader, so they were probably all in the training room.

As a result, the difficulty skyrocketed.

Shen Changgong observed the terrain, then calmed down and squatted on a roof not far away to observe the patrol team's patterns.

After observing for a full hour, Shen Changgong discovered that there were a total of five patrol teams in the yard, two in the inner yard and three in the outer yard.

The inner courtyard goes around clockwise, while the outer courtyard goes around counterclockwise, and both pass the same spot almost every five minutes.

In the outer and inner courtyards, he could find a gap to get through, but there were guards around the house in the middle, and it was full of people, so it was almost impossible for him to sneak in.

If he could kill someone, he would take out the guards quietly and go in.

But if you can't kill people, it's almost impossible to get in.

Since we can't enter secretly, let's go in openly.

Shen Changgong quietly came behind a big tree where a shadow guard was hiding. He walked silently, hiding in the dark, like a ghost, and was not discovered by anyone.

Then, he quietly poured a little powder into his hands. It was an inhalable drug with a strong effect.

Then, he suddenly jumped up, grabbed the tree trunk with one hand, and climbed up the trunk in two or three steps.

The shadow guard felt the vibration and the slight sound, and immediately turned around, but was pressed against the tree trunk by Shen Changgong.

Shen Changgong used his left hand to hold down the opponent's right hand that was about to draw the sword, and with his right hand, he poured all the powder on the opponent's mouth and nose. Then he covered the opponent's mouth tightly with his right hand, forcing the opponent to breathe through his nose and inhale the drug into his lungs.

"Hmm! Hmm! Cough..."

The shadow guard made some slight cries for help and coughed, but soon his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Shen Changgong quickly took off his coat, and in the moonlight, he could see clearly that the coat was pure black, with a poisonous snake embroidered in the middle of the chest.

I think this also implies that the shadow guard is a poisonous snake in the hands of the monarch, choosing its prey to bite.

Of course, if these people wore this iconic clothing when carrying out assassination missions, Shen Changgong would call them idiots.
