"It's good that you remember, Brother Ye Gu, I'm really afraid that you will drop the chain at a critical moment. This assassination was made by you on the fly, and we are not familiar with the Imperial Palace, so we can only find a way to send you to the military hall or at most with the new guards. Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, held his knees with both hands, and adjusted his uncomfortable sitting position.

"New Guards? Oh, yes, yes. It's with the New Guard. Ye Gu said, and he smiled embarrassedly.

"Well, I'm a little worried about your state. What the hell are you dreaming about? I think it's causing you to have a problem with your nerves. Lin Feng asked angrily.

"Nothing, just some very bad dreams. What will happen to us if this operation fails?" asked Ye Gu, diverting the subject.

The scene of the emperor and Ye Mingyuan in the dream like a hallucination, there are still some images lingering in Ye Gu's mind. Coupled with the darkness that asked him in the dark, such a strange environment and atmosphere, like a pair of hands choking his throat, still made him feel extremely suffocated.

"As an Imperial soldier, you can't think of failure in anything. As a person, he is destined to become a failure if he moves forward with the goals he has set and still thinks about failure. ”

"There is no way back. Ye Gu sighed, turned his head sideways to wipe the sweat from the corner of his eyes, and opened the corner of the carriage door curtain to poke out an eye.

It's not a short distance away from the Imperial Commercial Hall.

"Lin Feng, I won't show up when I get to the commercial hall. When the time comes, just find a corner and put me in the box. Ye Gu explained.

"Is safety a priority? Lin Feng couldn't help but give a thumbs up when he heard this, expressing his admiration.

"So there are some things that I'll explain now. Lin Feng, listen well, wait a minute, be sure to explain it to Si Lei and Lin Xiaozhan word for word. Ye Gu suddenly changed a very serious expression.

"You say, I'll listen. ”

"I'm not going to implicate you in this incident anymore, I'll do everything by myself after I dive in. Failure or success, this matter must be faced by myself. ”

"Why, don't you trust us?" Lin Feng looked surprised and puzzled.

"Not really. It is because of trust that I do not want you to be implicated. I know in my heart that the probability of success is not high. If it doesn't succeed at that time, I can only find a way to persuade His Majesty to give up Longqing. ”

"I don't quite understand that. Lin Feng scratched his head and said.

"I have to be the lonely watchman who chooses between darkness and light. None of the traitors to the empire have as many chips as I do. And once His Majesty learns that it is not my own operation, he will definitely not let go of everyone in the New Guard. Besides, even if it were to investigate my accomplices, the soldiers who had been planted by the Middle Empire were the biggest targets. If the blame is put on the merchant at that time, you will be safe. Yegu continued to say in a determined tone.

"If you're executed, what's the point of us staying?" Lin Feng asked, which was to the point.

After nearly two minutes of silence, Ye Gu jumped out of his dark thoughts in his dream and slowly replied, "You will be the new flame of the continent against the dragon clan. Once the dragons reappear, you will have the opportunity to awaken those who have been fooled and scatter this spark again into the cold. After all, the rebellion and resistance before the empire were just torches between nobles, and they would be swallowed up when they encountered the strongest flames, but you are different, you do not belong to the nobles, and you can be anywhere in the empire in the future. ”

"I see. Lin Feng stared at Ye Gu's eyes and replied, these eyes were the black pupils unique to the people of the Eastern Empire, but he saw a kind of red, the red color that belonged to the flames.

"Actually, you don't need to promise too much, you only need one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Just leave the suitcase with my equipment and myself in an inconspicuous corner near the military pavilion, where I am all too familiar. ”

"I promise you. Lin Feng replied equally firmly.

......

The Flame Empire, the imperial capital of Imperial Capital Province, in the warehouse of the Commercial Guild Hall.

Knock, knock, knock...... Boom.

The clock, which was attached to the tallest tower within the Empire, emitted a succession of twelve dull and long percussions, transmitting them to any corner of the entire imperial capital. The arrival of the imperial noon time was conveyed to the soldiers and citizens inside the imperial capital.

Since there are still five days left before Longqing, the imperial capital officially closed all the entrances to the outer cities from the beginning of the bell to ensure the smooth progress of Longqing.

From this time on, apart from the necessary goods and food supplied to the imperial capital, as well as part of the assembled army of the empire, no one will be able to set foot in the imperial capital for half a step.

As a result, the commercial club, which is already partially deserted, is even more deserted at this time. The merchants who had been in and out of the previous period had all returned to their hotels or temporary residences, but only Sreegu and his party had to go to the merchant hall again for the sake of the equipment of the new imperial guard.

"Sir, this is the key, you can go and carry the goods, the merchant who traded with the Empire has been waiting inside for some time. The guards in the guild hall warehouse saluted the soldiers dressed in Imperial officer attire in front of them, and respectfully handed the token-shaped key to the person in front of them who was called the chief.

"Very well, there's nothing to do with you here, you go and stand guard. You'll come back when we're done. The soldier commander said, taking the token and expertly pressing the red button in the center.

As the guards were replaced, the token changed to a key-shaped shape. Different from the previous Mai inscription, this token only has three words on the front "General Order", and there is no Lingua franca text on the back for Westerners to see.

Two squeaks squeaked in quick succession, and the sound of the Imperial soldier's leather boots did not seem so harmonious in the dim silence of the scene.

But after all, it was a task given by the Empire, and Sray and Mai Ti had been waiting near the cargo for a long time.

"Captain Yangscor, this is the weapon purchased by the Empire this time, and I have completed the task on time. After saluting the Yang Burning in front of him, Sray respectfully handed over the purchase order and receipt signed and confirmed by Mai Di.

"Very good, sorry. If the soldiers of the empire were as conscientious and responsible as you, Your Majesty would not be so distressed. Yang Zhuo said, putting away the slips, and waving his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to enter the carry.

Since the Empire often used the transaction mode of paying the full amount of the goods before they were delivered, on the afternoon of the day the goods were negotiated, the Empire's carriage delivered the full amount of Yan coins to the merchant hall where Mai Ti was located. Although Mai Ti couldn't take them all away for a while, the upper two floors of the merchant hall's warehouse also had the function of temporarily storing gold coins, which would not give these merchants risks and losses.

Looking at the Imperial soldiers who were constantly moving in and out of the darkness, Yang Zhuo was relaxed and happy, and Si Lei also changed from a slight nervousness and uneasiness at the beginning to an extremely calm expression.

Yegu's explanation was repeated to Sray in the same way.

Before Yang Burn arrived, Ye Gu had already hidden in the wooden box of the test weapon that came with it. There is an outward mechanism inside the wooden box, which can be destroyed from the inside out after being pulled, and the people who appear out of nowhere, Ye Gu's trip to the palace will no longer be alone.

"Wait,"

Seeing that the soldier moved out a yellow wooden box that was different from the previous green wooden box, Yang Zhuo suddenly shouted to stop.

"What's in there?" Yang Zhuo asked, stroking the top of the box with his hand and looking down to take a closer look.

"This is a test weapon that the merchant has given to the Empire, and if we use it well, he can help us bring in some more from the western countries. Sray explained, a sudden chill on his forehead, forming beads of sweat that were not too small or small.

"A new weapon?" Yang Zhuo asked, tapping his hand lightly on the wooden box.

Fortunately, in addition to Ye Gu in this wooden box, Dao also really put some weapons and equipment, plus some cotton, and the decoration was no different from other wooden boxes. Therefore, the percussion feeling is not much different.

"Yes, it is said to be made of rare metals, and it uses only magic power without ammunition. Sray hurriedly explained.

"Oh?" Yang asked, staring into Thunder's eyes.

This gaze, like a vine sticking out of the darkness, seemed to wrap Sray's whole body tightly, leaving no trace of air. If you are a person with a bad mentality, I am afraid that you will already have a nervous breakdown and say everything incoherently.

However, before Slei could explain, Yang Zhuo moved his gaze to the side and mocked with a nonchalant expression: "Hahaha. In these years, there are still people who believe that the magic source power is more powerful than technology, right?"

"Haha, they like old things, don't they? Otherwise, our empire wouldn't be so powerful. Sray hurriedly chimed in.

"The empire doesn't need this thing, and the people who still trust the power of the demon source are either those nobles with their heads in water, or a bunch of old and immortal madmen. Wait for the boxes of this color, don't let them go to the military pavilion and barracks, and throw them directly at the garbage dump behind the palace. When someone asks, you say that the empire doesn't need this thing. Remember, don't give it away for free. Yang Zhuo said viciously, eager to hit the box with his hands.

The box is harder than the human hand, well, let's not fight.

"That's a shame. Sray sighed under his breath to hide his excitement.

"When you understand the power of the machine, your old captain will naturally give you this position. Hahaha. Yang Zhuo laughed and pulled Sray as he followed the last of the cargo to the Empire's exclusive carriage.

......

The Flame Empire, Imperial Capital Province, outside the garbage dump behind the Imperial Palace.

Smoothly!

It went so well!

Smooth is not real!

This was the first thing that Yegu felt after pulling the mechanism from the inside and destroying the wooden box.

From being loaded into the carriage with the boxes, to the carriage marching to the military museum, to being thrown away as garbage in this garbage dump. Everything was as designed. Moreover, Lin Feng and Si Lei also agreed with his idea and did not follow.

It seems that the two Imperial soldiers who threw the box were more like spies planted by the Central Empire, and after putting his box down smoothly, they slowly left.

It was just after dusk, close to nine o'clock in the evening of Imperial time, and they had deliberately chosen such a special time.

In Yegu's impression, the emperor usually ate dinner at this time to relieve the last hunger of the day.

And at this time, the entire Imperial Palace area of the Empire will be busy in the Imperial Canteen and the Emperor's Bedroom. Even the soldiers on patrol in the Empire did not choose to patrol too much at this time, they only needed to be stationed near the two palaces.

This time, which usually lasts for an hour, is enough for Ye Gu to change into his equipment and lurk, waiting for the opportunity to come late at night.
