Chapter 820: There Is Only One Chance
in the guest room.
Boss Zhou's eyebrows followed, and his expression was quite serious.
More than 30 years later, he didn't expect that he would be involved in the events of that year again.
At that time, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng suddenly attacked, announced that the commander of the forbidden army, Dongfang Invincible, was a thief, issued a wanted warrant, and the whole city chased and killed him.
Commander Zhou originally wanted to participate, but Prime Minister Xiao Cheng used the name of Concubine Xiao to let himself stand still and not participate in the whole process.
Afterwards, Boss Zhou inquired many times, only to know that the concubine had also given birth to a prince, and it was the prince who Dongfang Invincible took away.
According to the meaning of the emperor, whoever is the prince is the heir to the throne, and Prime Minister Xiao Cheng is the real rebel when he does this.
However, the raw rice has been cooked and cooked, there is no news of the invincible in the East, and the government is also controlled by Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, although he is a great commander, he is powerless.
He has been holding this matter in his heart for thirty years, and now it is time to set things right.
The boss commander handed the letter back to Ling Feng and took the initiative to kneel.
"Your Royal Highness, the old minister Zhou Xiaotian is willing to follow you, reorganize the national prestige of my Qi country, and drive all those indiscriminate things out of the imperial city. ”
Zong Yuan hurriedly helped Boss Zhou up, his expression was quite serious.
"Boss, please, you are the pillar of the country, thank you very much for your support, everything is up to the boss. ”
Commander Zhou nodded, took up the pen to write a letter, and stamped the seal of the Zhou family.
He looked at Song Li and nodded heavily.
"Song Li, the responsibility of protecting the prince will be handed over to you, my identity is special, I must attend the birthday banquet of the queen mother tomorrow, you give this letter to my son, Xuan'an Gate City guard Zhou Bo, he naturally knows what to do. ”
Song Li took the letter, his heart was settled, and he finally completed the first step.
The three of them bid farewell to Boss Zhou and returned all the way back to the Xihe Palace.
At this time, it was already late at night, and the imperial city was full of patrolling soldiers, even Ling Feng was not allowed to move around at will, once he was discovered, there would be endless troubles.
Song Li looked around and proposed his plan.
"Zong Yuan, let's go to Zhou Bo now, if we miss tonight, it will definitely be too late tomorrow, Governor Ling, can you find a way to lure the guards outside the Xuan'an Gate away, Zong Yuan and I must sneak in quietly, nameless senior brother, your task is to keep an eye on Zhuge Liuyun, don't let him run around, so as not to destroy our plan, there is only one chance, there is no room for loss, once Prime Minister Xiao Cheng finds a flaw and changes the city guard of Xuan'an Gate, we will give up our efforts." ”
Song Li finished assigning the task, and everyone nodded and acted according to the plan.
Nameless went towards Xuanning Palace as soon as possible, and Zhuge Liuyun was lurking over there, with his identity and status, it was more than enough to hold Zhuge Liuyun back.
On the other hand, Song Li is here, and the situation is quite complicated.
The three of them evaded the patrolling soldiers all the way to the Xuan'an Gate.
Passing through the Xuan'an Gate, it is the Taihe Hall where the Queen Mother will hold a birthday banquet tomorrow, and all the princes and nobles will be concentrated inside, including Prime Minister Xiao Cheng.
Song Li looked up at the tower and pointed to the place on the second floor where the lights were on.
"Commander Zhou should be in the tower, Governor Ling, you go over now, pretend to be unwell, attract the attention of the soldiers guarding the gate, and Zong Yuan and I will take the opportunity to go up from the east. ”
Ling Feng nodded and quickly walked past the city gate.
The soldier guarding the door saw him, and before he could speak, Ling Feng suddenly stumbled to the ground, looking quite painful.
Song Li saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up, if he could present the award, he would definitely award Ling Feng a Best Actor Award.
Seeing that the soldiers were attracted by Ling Feng, Song Li went out with Zong Yuan Lightning, and the two of them walked along the city gate to the location under the window.
"Zong Yuan, jump up. ”
Song Li squatted down and put on a posture.
Zong Yuan took a sharp breath and stepped on Song Li's palm, Song Li made a strong support, and with the blessing of immeasurable strength, Zong Yuan jumped up in the air and rushed straight to the window.
The next moment, Zong Yuan grabbed the window, turned over, and slipped in.
When Zong Yuan entered, Song Li condensed his luck, a few ups and downs, with the help of the wall, smoothly turned to the position of the window, and turned in with a heel.
He had just landed on his front foot, and before he could see clearly, several long swords came over with a brush.
Not far away, Zong Yuan was held by his neck with an embarrassed expression.
A man of about fifty had a serious expression on his face, quite majestic.
"Two thieves, breaking into the tower late at night, I'm afraid they don't know how to write the dead word. ”
The man is Zhou Bo, the city guard of Xuan'an Gate, and the great commander of Hongwu, who belongs to the real power figures, and can be regarded as a person who can speak in the court.
He was neither loyal to the emperor nor to Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, but loyal to the Qi State, which was the tradition of their Zhou family and the best means for Mingzhe to protect himself.
Song Li smiled faintly and raised his hands.
"Commander Zhou, you are very vigilant, I have a letter in my pocket, you might as well take a look at it and decide whether to deal with us or not. ”
Zhou Bo frowned slightly and glanced at his subordinates.
The subordinates stepped forward, groped around, and really took out a letter and handed it to Zhou Bo.
Zhou Bo flipped through the letter and glanced at it, and was immediately shocked, he couldn't have imagined that the inconspicuous man in front of him was actually the prince who was taken away back then.
The room was full of Zhou Bo's cronies, he naturally trusted it, and handed the letter in his hand to his subordinates to take a look, and everyone looked at each other, at a loss.
After a while, Zhou Bo motioned to his subordinates to let go of Zong Yuan and take the initiative to bow down.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Minister Zhou Bo, is willing to obey the order. ”
When the words fell, everyone around them knelt down, and their attitude was quite respectful.
Zhou Bo is not only a filial son, but also quite dissatisfied with the current imperial court, the emperor has done nothing, Xiao Cheng is a cholera dynasty, and the state of Qi will be annexed by other countries sooner or later.
Now that there is a chance to change, and at the lowest cost, he is willing to charge.
Zong Yuan looked at the people in front of him, and his heart was reassured, originally he just wanted to take the concubine and escape from Yanjing, but now he really has the strength to fight against.
"Commander Zhou, please get up quickly, this matter is not trivial, we have to think long-term, and don't make any mistakes. ”
Zong Yuan looked at the person next to him intentionally or unintentionally, and Zhou Bo suddenly realized.
"Don't worry, the prince is my cronies, your plan is indeed feasible, as long as the queen mother's birthday banquet starts tomorrow, I will close the city gate, and no one can enter and exit at will, even if the forbidden army outside the Taihe Hall finds out that the situation is not right, and forcibly attack the city, it will take three hours to enter at the earliest, and that time is enough for us to control everything." ”
Song Li nodded and looked at Zhou Bo.
"Commander Zhou, everything is entrusted to you, the prince will stay with you from now on, and I will be responsible for taking the others away tomorrow, and I wish us a victory. ”
Song Li was quite nervous, this was the biggest adventure of his life. Once successful, everything will be fine, and he and Mu Xue will be able to reunite.
There is only one chance, and there is no room for failure.
