Inside the capital, the Ministry of Household Treasury.

Dai Quan stood there and thought about the whole process, and there was no leak. After all, it was broad daylight in the capital, and he was transporting his confidants. He shook his head and went back to the household department with Shen Zhongxin to wait.

The convoy of 25 carts swaggered through the city after leaving the palace gate, but what they didn't notice was that there were many tailgaters following them all the way, including nobles, noble families, and unknown forces.

"Leader, a convoy came out of the palace, it seemed to be escorting official silver. The escorts included people from the Imperial City Department and the Forbidden Army along the way."

The White Lotus Sect's stronghold in the capital city, the right protector should first report the palace's intelligence to the leader Bai Shuiyue.

"I know, just tell the people below to keep an eye on it and not to act rashly."

"It's the leader. Another thing is that a sect, Zoroastrianism, was discovered in the northwest of Dawu. It is developing rapidly and is somewhat similar to us. I'm afraid this has the same purpose as ours."

"Then I have to say, yes, there are too many poor people in that miserable place in the northwest, so just don't interfere with each other."

"But Leader, although our White Lotus Sect firmly dominates the underground forces in Zhongzhou and Jiangnan, there is another Taiping Sect in the south of us. Its sect, Zhang Shixian, is even more ambitious and has a large number of followers. I heard that it already has millions of followers."

Only then did Bai Shuiyue change. After thinking for a moment, he sneered;

"Then he'll be on his way. We'll see how the situation develops. If someone has no money, no food, no weapons, the only way to do something is to die, so don't worry, but they can pass by our territory, but if they reach over and kill him,

."

"It's the leader, please take a look."

The right protector gave a bloody smile and licked the corner of his mouth.

What they didn't know was that the Taiping Sect had already arranged for its elite members to lurk in the capital, and also bought a small inn as a base, an inconspicuous place that was the most hidden.

Now the deputy leader of the Taiping Sect, Chu Yiyue, has long wanted to be a big one and make the reputation of the Taiping Sect known in the world. The leader specifically said that he must make a splash and be beautiful. He cannot imitate those girls from the White Lotus Sect who only know how to hide.

It’s just that after being here for so many days, the refugee church outside the city has developed a lot, but the official business has not been done yet. It’s because there is no target yet. The people from the Imperial City Department are keeping a close eye on them, and they haven’t been able to make a good move. Didn’t they just receive the surveillance?

Report, there is a convoy escorting the official bank out of the palace, the opportunity has come.

"Brothers, the opportunity has come. The spies have come to report that the convoy escorting the silver has left the palace. This is our goal this time. This time we mainly focus on killing and wounding people. As for the silver being scattered on the ground for the people to grab, it will affect the rescue time of the reinforcements.

."

"It will take about two-quarters of an hour for the reinforcements from the capital to arrive, so we only have two sticks of incense. We will retreat when we burn one stick of incense. I will arrange for the refugees from the teaching to hold them there, and the elites from our teaching will disperse and retreat. Use the previous

I bought the household registration to hide my identity, so you will know if I am caught."

Everyone in the Taiping Sect below said in unison;

"Master Chu, please rest assured that the world will be peaceful and we will die for it."

"Okay, brothers, set off immediately. The first team ambushed at the intersection of the third street of Dongshifang. The second team, after the first team took action, came out from behind the second street. The third team came out from the other road.

, besieged on three sides, and after a stick of incense, the fourth team will let the refugees fight out, and then help the other three teams to withdraw, and the speed must be fast."

"yes."

"Okay, peace in the world will begin with our Taiping Sect."

Everyone below showed fanatical faces, sincere and bloodthirsty.

Chu Yiyue, the deputy leader of the Taiping Religion, dispersed his men to ambush him, and also brought a hundred contraband crossbows, which the leader had acquired at a great cost from the garrison general in the south.

As for the motorcade coming out of the palace, the people escorting it were all lazy, especially the king's steward, Eunuch Wang, who was walking at the front in a sedan chair and humming a ditty. Today, Wang has 10,000 taels of silver in his pocket.

The sedan the steward rides on is still bright red, and it's as showy as you want.

The Forbidden Army Chief Qian and the Imperial City Si Qianhu were walking at the back of the team, talking together.

"Mr. Han Qian, you are a very busy man. Even if I want to have a drink with you these days, I can't even see you."

"Don't mention it, my Ma Qianhu, you don't know that at the end of this year there will be a big competition with the border army. The superiors here have issued a death order. Anyone who disgraces the face of the imperial army will be punished. You really can't get out."

"Ah, it's so strict. I've heard about it, but if you can't select a few battalions of soldiers and horses, it's just a matter of training alone."

"Who says it's not the case, but the Beijing camp doesn't agree. We have to practice together, otherwise we will be accused of being cunning by the imperial army."

"That's true. We don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality. Brother Han is working hard, but he doesn't know the strength of the border army?"

"Brother, to be honest, the troops here are all elite, so they must be good, but there are so many forbidden soldiers, there are always people to choose from, right?"

"Well, that's the truth. I just don't know what Zhang Jinyu, the Marquis of Luoyun, looks like outside the Pass. I heard that Huang Jitai fled."

"I don't know. Huang Jitai was beaten like that, and this Marquis Jinyu is not a good person."

The two of them each looked at each other and sighed. At this time, the motorcade was about to turn, passing through a market square in Dongcheng, and then 4 streets away. The small yellow gate that opened the way was holding a gong and drum at the front of the team.

There was a knock,

"when"

"Everyone avoids it,"

Pedestrians on the road ran away from the convoy when they saw it. Of course, what the convoy didn't notice was that there were so many more people on this street than on normal streets, and there were many people who just avoided it a little, all inadvertently.

Keep an eye on the condition of the team.

At this time, Sima Mengquan of the Imperial City raised his head to see where the convoy had gone, but when he saw the pedestrians on the street, Ma Qianhu felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Han Shougao, the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army, saw that Ma Qianhu was silent and looked confused, so he asked;

"Brother Ma, what's wrong?"

"Brother Han, I feel something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on what's wrong."

"What can happen in the capital in broad daylight? Our two families join forces and some blind thieves dare to rob the convoy?"

Ma Mengquan, the Qianhu of the Imperial City, heard Han Shougao talking about robbery. Ma Qianhu's heart tightened, yes, this is it, and he immediately shouted on alert;

"Ji Baihu, please be careful."

Before he finished speaking, someone among the people on the streets on both sides of the motorcade shouted "Do it."

I saw people around me taking out long knives from under the tables, benches, and food stalls, and rushed forward. On the streets and houses, rows of figures appeared. They were arranged by leader Chu of the Taiping Sect.

The crossbowmen began to shoot crossbow arrows at the escort team, and a wave of guards in front fell to the ground.

Mei Yizheng, a member of the imperial army, shouted heart-breakingly;

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, enemy attack."

The whole convoy was instantly in chaos. The people in the front of the Forbidden Army and the Imperial City Division wanted to hide from the arrows, and the people in the back wanted to go up to support them, but the enemy did not give them any time to react.

Eunuch Wang stopped humming a ditty and screamed in fright. Xiao Huangmen just lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead so that the gong could cover his head. How could anyone care about Eunuch Wang's safety at this time?

A large number of masked men suddenly rushed out from behind the convoy escorting the silver and from another street, holding long knives and slashing at anyone they saw. In less than a quarter of an hour of fighting between the two sides, the Forbidden Army and the Imperial City Division lost less than half of their people.

General Manager Han Qian quickly led his men to form a semicircle around the car, put it into a defensive position, and directed the imperial troops to form a formation to resist.

"Brother Ma, please help."

Ma Qianhu led others to fight with each other outside. He killed each of the opponents with a knife when he heard shouts. When he turned around and saw that the imperial army had formed a defensive formation, he shouted;

"Everyone enter the circle to resist,"

After saying that, he quickly withdrew into the circle, then took out the red signal firework from his pocket, and then opened it,

With a "bang" sound, it flew into the sky and exploded at high altitude. The red smoke looked so bright and dazzling in the sky above the capital, and could be seen from a long distance.

The people of the Taiping Sect also knew that it was a signal for help. They only had one stick of incense, so they also used their strength and the leader shouted;

"Brothers, kill, kill these lackeys of the imperial court."

"Go ahead."

Immediately afterwards, the fourth team of the Taiping Religion took action. It turned out that Master Chu saw that the people of the Forbidden Army and the Imperial City Division were well-trained and formed a formation so quickly. The people on the outside were almost killed. When he saw the people inside, he asked for help.

After receiving the signal, in order to reduce your own losses, you send out retreat and support signals in advance.
