There were porcelain fragments on the floor of the secret room. Yu Chengyun's face was as sinking as water and he asked coldly: "What does Li Chengde want to do?"
Standing in the room was the old man from before, still dressed in linen clothes, and another middle-aged man in his forties, with a heavy back, big ears, and a rather dignified appearance.
At this time, the middle-aged man replied: "Yu Taishi, I think that the emperor's move is intended to shake the mountain and shake the tiger. From my humble opinion, the emperor is just pretending to suppress some rumors in the royal city."
"What if that's not the case?"
"Well, if that's not the case, I think we have to strike first." The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth every word.
Yu Chengyun was stunned and said: "The time is too hasty."
"Grand Master," the old man in sackcloth moved, and said slowly as if he had just woken up: "With these three decrees from the Emperor, we have no way out. If the Emperor just wants to show his majesty, then there is no need to worry, but still
Judging from the content of the edict and the signs in the city, the emperor must be planning something big this time, and we have no other choice. If the Guanshan camp enters Zhuocheng, we will be like fish with swords, life and death are in the hands of others, subordinates
I think that the matter of forcing the uterus cannot be delayed any longer, and should be stopped without interruption, and it will cause chaos."
"It's just how could Emperor Wanlong come up with such a move and catch us so unprepared." The middle-aged man pondered.
"There must be someone behind the scenes who is advising the emperor. After all, Zhuocheng is the place where royal power is concentrated. Li Chengde can give orders as the emperor. If we make the slightest move, we will immediately be accused of being a traitor." Mai.
The old man raised his eyebrows and said.
"But Li Chengye is behind the scenes?" Yu Chengyun asked with a low face.
"Based on the current situation, it shouldn't be the case. Li Chengye only got the news in the palace. He had not received any news before. After hearing the news, Li Chengye immediately stepped up the guards of the palace and ordered people to inquire around the palace. This
Prince Chun's palace has been under our surveillance, and there was no change before the emperor issued the decree. If my subordinates are right, the person who advises the emperor should be in the palace." The old man in sackcloth shook his head and replied.
"In the palace?" Yu Chengyun frowned and asked, "Is there any news from the palace?"
"No," the old man in sackcloth replied, "Since Emperor Wanlong ordered the palace gates to be sealed, the security in the palace has become much tighter. Currently, entry and exit have been isolated. It is difficult to send the news, but Emperor Wanlong must not have thought of it."
Having said this, the old man in sackcloth suddenly stopped talking, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.
"Humph, it seems that Li Chengde's move was directed at me, forcing me to rebel. But this Zhuocheng old man has been in business for many years, how could he, a fatuous fool who only knows how to drink and seduce, think of this?" Yu Chengyun sneered.
A few times, he said in a cold voice.
Suddenly, the old man in sackcloth with his closed eyes moved slightly, and his eyes suddenly opened. A cold light suddenly appeared, which was soul-stirring. He turned out to be a master of the family. At this time, his face was solemn, and he said: "Grand Master, General, please wait a moment.
, there is news."
After saying this, he walked out of the secret room without replying in the clouds. He had a cup of tea and returned in a hurry. As soon as he entered the room, the middle-aged man asked: "Mr. Ge, what happened?"
"Grand Master, the secret agent has just received news that Mr. Situ Lu slipped and fell into the water last night and drowned in the Chenxiang River. The position of Counselor of the Privy Council has been temporarily replaced by Zong Bo Yang Wanli. From the time Master Lu was discovered to the time when the emperor ordered Yang Wanli to temporarily act as Counselor, the time before and after
It’s almost the same, it must have been a planned situation in advance.”
"What a Li Chengde. I underestimated him in the past." Yu Chengyun was shocked and his eyes flashed coldly, "He drowned a Master Situ casually. It seems that Emperor Wanlong will not let it go this time."
"Master, how should we respond next?" the middle-aged man asked.
"We must raise the troops without delay, and we cannot give Li Chengde any chance to breathe. Changhe, your cavalry army is responsible for the city's defense, and your capital guards are responsible for the security of the city. Now that the capital guards have a new commander, in just a few days, the generals will not be able to reach them.
, I ask Mr. Ge to help you. Today at Haishi, an arrow will sound as a signal to control the capital guards. After that, we will unite our forces to force the palace. You still have less than three hours to prepare. Remember, close the city gate. Without me,
I have issued an order not to open the city gate, is there a problem?" Yu Chengyun stared at Duqi Commander Xiao Changhe without blinking and said in a deep voice.
"Grand Master, there is only one thing. Li Chengde has sealed the palace gates. If we force the palace and there are still imperial troops, we may not have enough troops." Xiao Changhe said with some doubts.
"General Xiao, please don't worry about the Forbidden Army. The Grand Master has his own arrangements," said the old man in sackcloth.
"It's okay to tell Chang He. Li Chengru is one of my men. He should open the palace door when the time comes. Chang He goes ahead and does it. I will guarantee you eternal glory and will never treat you badly." Yu Chengyun laughed and said.
"Thank you so much, Grand Master. Your Majesty is indeed very resourceful, and I will definitely die to repay your kindness." Xiao Changhe knelt down and thanked him with a hint of fear.
"Haha, General Xiao, you can't die," the grand master stepped forward to help Xiao Changhe up and said, "You haven't shared the glory and wealth of Da Gan with me, how can you say you will die?"
"Yes, I will obey the order." Xiao Changhe blushed, bowed deeply, and left the Grand Master's Mansion.
After Xiao Changhe left, Yu Chengyun's face immediately darkened again and he said, "Mr. Ge, is there anything unusual in the city?"
"No, the Guanshan camp is just gathering troops, and there has been no change yet. However, we have to guard against Emperor Wanlong's hidden methods. Only the Tiger Guards of Prince Chun's Mansion and the Fengwu Camp are left in the city with the strength to fight."
"Prince Chun's palace has nothing to worry about. Li Chengye has a good plan but lacks courage. He will not send troops rashly until he knows it clearly. This time is enough for us to support the new emperor. Mr. Ge, keep an eye on the palace and officials.
Regarding the movements in the mountain camp, once Situ is dead, the Privy Council is depleted and cannot be used by me for the time being. We can only rely on our own people." Yu Chengyun walked back and forth for a few steps, turned to the old man in sackcloth and said.
"Yes, Grand Master, I will prepare now. Do you want to take the eldest son with you?" The old man in sackcloth suddenly remembered and stood still and asked.
Yu Chengyun's eyes flashed, and then he said: "Forget it, there is no plan. Going will only cause chaos. Today's things happened in a hurry. There can't be any mistakes in the process. If he goes, it will only increase the uncertainty, so it is better not to go.
"
The old man in sackcloth bowed, and then Yu Chengyun's calm voice came: "The people behind the scenes want to survive. I want to see who dares to go against the Taishi Mansion." The old man in sackcloth paused and replied: "
Yes." After retreating, Grand Master Yu Chengyun was left standing alone in the room, muttering to himself: "It's a good night, the moonlit night is high and the wind is high." After saying that, a cold look shot out of his eyes, and he left the secret room.
This night, Zhuo City is undercurrent.
At the time of Hai, the capital guarded the place.
A shrill sound of arrows pierced the night sky. Several men in black climbed over the high wall of the capital guardhouse and opened the door. Hundreds of warriors stepped over the guards who were lying in a pool of blood in front of the door and poured into the guardhouse quietly.
The sound surrounded the entire guardhouse.
The figures in the guardhouse were bright and clear, but they were extremely quiet. There was not a sound of the guards speaking. The man in black walked forward. It was the old man surnamed Ge from Taishi Mansion. He looked at the figure reflected on the window, and suddenly
His face changed, he waved out the wind from his palm, broke open a window, and flew in. Then he flew backwards and flew out, shouting: "You've been fooled, get out quickly." He held a long coat in his hand, and the room
There was no one in the room, except for long clothes and hats hung on a bamboo pole, with a hemp rope attached to one end, passed through the beam, and tied to a few hares in the cage.
At this moment, a loud noise was suddenly heard in the east of Zhuocheng City. The expression of the old man in sackcloth changed again, and he shouted in a low voice: "Quickly retreat, go to Zhuque Street."
The group of people ran quickly and arrived in front of Zhuque Street. Grand Master Yu Chengyun and Duqi Commander Xiao Changhe were already on the square. Yu Chengyun saw the old man in sackcloth coming in a hurry. Before the old man could speak, he waved his hand and said
: "I already know that Li Chengde is such a good man, I still underestimate him. Mr. Ge, lead the dead soldiers to prepare well. After entering the palace, we must suppress the situation in the palace as soon as possible and capture the Chengde child alive. When the time comes, I will take the emperor to order
All under heaven." After saying this, his eyes shot out with a menacing light, and he said word by word: "It's still unclear who will win!"
That night, many sects stayed awake all night. Zhuocheng was turbulent with a loud noise in the east city, and everyone was in danger.
