After a while, everyone nodded one after another, expressing their agreement tacitly.

"Please Du Shidi first..."

Du Yu nodded gently, slowly stepped on the door, stretched out his hand to push it open, and heard a "squeak" sound, and the heavy door slid open.

He raised his legs and stepped out of the threshold, and his figure disappeared.

"Ms. Lu, please!"

Seeing that Du Yu had already entered, Xue Cifeng signaled Lu Zhaoyi to go in first, but she didn't stay any longer and immediately stepped into the arsenal, and the others followed.

Entering the arsenal, they discovered that it was not empty as the rumors said. Instead, there were rows of neatly arranged counters. There were all kinds of weapons on the counters, and they could tell at a glance that they were worthless.

Philippines.

"This is the Chang'an arsenal that our Du family has been in charge of for generations. There are many agencies inside. Please don't break in!"

The fire suddenly rose, and Du Yu was seen holding a fire and lighting lamps and candles at various counters, while not forgetting to warn them.

In a daze, the candlelight gradually illuminated the dark arsenal. The place was deserted and there were no other objects. Located in the center of the arsenal, a huge copper beast stood tall and straight in the center.

On the head of the copper beast, a pair of huge blood-red eyes seemed to be staring at them. Anyone who saw this scene immediately trembled all over.

"I told you, don't move!"

Du Yu's words made everyone stop in their tracks.

Lu Zhaoyi looked around and saw that the internal space of the arsenal was very large, divided into left and right sides. Every ten feet or so, there was a bronze statue, which was lifelike, as if to deter people who tried to sneak into this place.

Inside these counters are a variety of weapons, including knives, swords, halberds, spears, etc.

She looked at those weapons and felt a little shocked in her heart. She didn't expect that there would be such a huge inventory of weapons inside the arsenal that had gone through hundreds of years of wind and frost. It was simply unbelievable.

"Master Du, are these weapons left over from the previous dynasty?" Lu Zhaoyi asked.

"Not bad!" Du Yu put down the fire, walked to a counter, reached out and touched a spear, and thought for a while, "My Du family has been in charge of the arsenal for generations. There are many institutions here. Without the guidance of the Du family, outsiders can easily

If we don’t dare to enter, we can only wait here for reinforcements.”z.br

When everyone heard this, they all sighed.

They originally wanted to catch up with Wei Zijun and capture the thief first to stabilize the situation, but they never wanted to reach a dead end. And in this arsenal full of agencies, they couldn't do anything.

After hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi's eyes gleamed slightly, as if he had come up with some idea. Then he turned to look at Du Yu, "I do have a plan. I wonder if Du Erlang is willing to try it?"

When Du Yu heard this, she looked slightly happy and said, "Ms. Lu, what's your clever plan?"

When it comes to the aristocratic families in Chang'an City, only the Du family is the true eighth-generation noble family. Among the Du family, the most favored one is Du Yu, because he is a direct descendant and the Du family's only hope.

If we want to break the situation, we still need the help of the Du family's children.

At this moment, Du Yu's eyes flashed with excitement and he nodded quickly.

"That being the case, I will tell you what I think." Lu Zhaoyi said, turning back to look at everyone present. And they all looked at her with joy in their eyes.

"Ms. Lu, please tell me, as long as Du can do it, he will do his best!"

"Okay, in that case, I will tell you this idea again. If Du Erlang thinks it is feasible, he will do as I say. If it is not feasible, I hope Du Erlang will remember not to show off."

After saying that, she took a deep breath and focused her eyes on a bronze beast in the arsenal, "My idea is very simple. There are a total of twelve bronze beast statues in the arsenal, and the location also implies the Bagua formation.

It’s so wonderful, I think, this formation is to trap outsiders, right?”

Hearing this, Du Yu was slightly startled, and immediately, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Xue Cifeng happened to understand her meaning and immediately exclaimed, "Ms. Lu means... to use the directions listed on the bronze statue to attract outsiders and find opportunities to escape?"

bronze statue

It is too big and the bronze beast is very heavy. It is inconvenient to move the bronze statue. If you want to attract outsiders, you need to find the right time to lure the Wei family into the arsenal.

If we really want to do this, then the break between the Du family and the Wei family will be on the table, and we will have to risk our lives to become their enemies, and this risk is a bit high.

However, Du Yu's eyes were bright, and after hearing this, he raised the corner of his mouth and couldn't help laughing, "The Wei family has been doing evil in Guanzhong for nearly twenty years, and public resentment has long been spread. My father has long wanted to quarrel with them.

I was so disgraced that I couldn't find an opportunity. Mrs. Lu led the troops into Guanzhong, which was the opportunity that the Du family had been waiting for, so Du made the decision for my father, and that was it."

His words made the hearts of several other noble clan members present sink. They couldn't help but look at Du Yu, with a bit of admiration in their eyes.

Only Du Yu has such great confidence.

However, he thought of the reputation accumulated by the Du family, and felt a little more balanced.

Just as they were preparing to adjust the bronze statue, outside Chang'an City, Yingxue led the shadow guard team back to Bahe Camp and learned about the situation in the city at this time.

The Black Armored Scouts also brought back military reports, speculating that it was very possible that Lu Zhaoyi was trapped in Chang'an City.

Within half an hour, Xia Sheng and others also returned to the camp, and just got this piece of news.

Immediately, several groups of people in the camp began to discuss rescue strategies.

The Black Armored Guards, the Shadow Moon Guards and the Hedong Army led by Shadow Spirit naturally all have the same view and must lead troops into the city to rescue people; but among the Yongzhou Guards who have been newly formed for less than a month, their ideas are not unified. The generals

They also have their own considerations; as for Xia Sheng and this group of people, they also have their own goals.

Just like that, several people were in the camp, each discussing the decision on this matter with their own thoughts.

"Your Highness, King Han, the Seventh Lady is currently trapped in the city. I wonder what your Highness plans to do?"

A burly, muscular man wearing armor and full of murderous intent walked up to Xia Sheng and asked.

This man was a general in the Hedong Army and a member of the Tianxia Alliance. Later, he followed General Zhonglang of Diannong, Hedong, to farm in Hedong County.

On the other hand, among the Yongzhou guards, except for Wei Meng, Zhang Youzhi, Li Min and others, the other generals kept their heads down and remained silent. They looked at the people in the camp with a sly look, and their thoughts were much obvious.

These people happened to be the group who strongly opposed leaving Guancheng when they were in Tongguan.

However, their little actions could not escape Wei Meng's eyes.

As for Xia Sheng, he also looked worried, but he hesitated and couldn't make up his mind. Moreover, he kept glancing at Yang Xian, as if to listen to what he wanted.

Among the entire audience, Cui Qinglei was the only one who did not talk to anyone else, just sitting by the tent and looking at the moonlight outside.

"Second mother?"

Xia Sheng saw that Yang Xian didn't speak and his face was extremely anxious, so he asked her for help.

Hearing this, Cui Qinglei slowly turned her head and looked at them, and everyone who was in a deadlock focused their eyes on her face, just waiting for her to say something.

Her face remained calm, "Tonight the moonlight is bright and dark, which is suitable for a secret attack. I think it is not appropriate for us to send troops in the open. And just now, I was also thinking that my cousin's purpose of letting us go back to the Bahe Camp was also based on

this."

After hearing these words, everyone in the camp trembled.

Cui Qinglei continued: "It is said that Guanshan is difficult to enter the tiger's den. Without a surprise attack strategy, Chang'an City will definitely be unable to be broken."

After she finished speaking, everyone in the camp lowered their heads in tacit understanding, thinking about her words secretly.

After a long time, a middle-aged man raised his head and said, "Ms. Cui Erniang, do you want us to sneak into Chang'an City?"

"No!"

Cui Qinglei shook her head, "Before we left the Chang'an School Affairs Office tonight, we saw the Du family's grandson and his cousin together. If the Du family's grandson is willing to help my cousin, I guess they are at this moment..."

At this point, she paused slightly, swallowed, and finally said four words, "Chang'an Arsenal!"

Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

"That's right! The Du family has always been upright and has a deep reputation in Guanzhong, and the arsenal is full of institutions. If the Du family is really willing to help, we can enter the city and rescue Madam Lu!"

The one who spoke was none other than Wei Meng, who knew the details of the families in Guanzhong, and even more clearly the grudges and entanglements between the families in Chang'an City.

As a member of the Wei family, he was not valued at all by the family and was not reused. If he had not been completely disappointed with the Wei family, how could he have killed his relatives and broken with the Wei family.

And his words also expressed the thoughts of everyone present, and everyone looked excited.

"However, there is one more thing I want to explain to you." Wei Meng stood up and looked around everyone, his eyes flashing with determination, "Before we send troops tonight, we must do one thing!"

Suddenly turning around, he pointed to the few people beside him, who were all the generals under his command who had ulterior motives. "I'm afraid they have different intentions. Before setting off, we must imprison them all to avoid leaks."

The sound of the wind."

"Weimeng, you..."

Several people jumped to their feet as soon as they heard this. Those who reacted quickly took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and turned around to escape. However, they were immediately captured by the black-armored guards who reacted faster!

Those generals did not expect that Wei Meng would be so heartless and would fall out of favor at any time.

"Wei Meng, don't forget that you are also a member of the Wei family. You are such a beast and betraying your clan. You are simply a beast!" someone roared angrily.

"Humph!" Wei Meng snorted coldly, not wanting to waste any more words. Whatever he decided on would go down the same path, and it would be useless for anyone to stop him.

After this episode, everyone began to discuss strategies for a surprise attack.

The final result of the discussion was that the troops were divided into two groups, one going to find Du Mansion outside the city, and the other going straight to Chang'an City.

Inside the camp, they did not hesitate for too long, and the two groups of people broke out of camp and set off.

Two hours after Lu Zhaoyi and his party were trapped in the Chang'an Arsenal, tens of thousands of troops arrived at the east gate of Chang'an City and under the Ba City Gate. They only waited for Du Tong, the commander of the Chang'an Arsenal, to appear before they could launch a surprise attack.

As for choosing to attack the city here, firstly, the moat here is four feet wide, and the willow shade on both sides of the river bank allows the 20,000 troops to hide better; secondly, because the Ba City Gate is the most convenient to the arsenal, it can be reached in time.

Arsenal, carry out rescue.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the city, the city walls were empty and the soldiers and horses were hidden under the shade of the trees, so the chance of a surprise attack being successful was higher.

However, after waiting for about half a stick of incense, the messenger from the Du Mansion was still nowhere to be seen. Yingxue Yingling seemed to be impatient with the wait, and turned to order the army, "Send the order, the whole army is ready to attack!"

"No!" Li Min suddenly said in the Yongzhou Guards, "Wait a little longer. If Du Ling hasn't arrived after half an hour, it would be better to attack."

This sentence resonated with several other generals, and they all echoed, "I don't think it's right either. After all, Chang'an City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we forcefully break the city, I'm afraid we'll suffer heavy losses!"

Li Min frowned and continued: "I agree, we can just wait here."

"Okay then!" After hearing their words, Ying Ling and Ying Xue nodded dullly, but they felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
Chapter completed!
