In the evening, Fan Li entered Zou Cheng before closing the city gate. Three hundred men entered the city at the same time as him. This is a brave man drawn from various departments of the Lu army.

Fan Li, under the pseudonym Lu Qi, became the leader of these 300 people, and conducted intensive training for these 300 people for five days. First of all, the three hundred were divided into three brigades, and each brigade had a leader. Each squadron was divided into three squadrons, and each squadron was divided into three squadrons. All have a captain.

Then it's about training how to enter the city, how to lurk after entering the city, how to concentrate in the direction of the city gate, how to attack, how to open the city gate, and so on. They anticipated every eventuality. Numerous rehearsals were conducted. Everyone knows what to do every step of the way.

The three hundred men were divided into four parts, and within an hour they entered the city through the four gates, and then scattered among the restaurants, shops, and streets. It was no different if there was a sudden increase of three hundred people, and before it was dark, they would find a place to hide, and when there were fewer people on the street, everyone would go back to their place and lay in ambush. Because walking around the street at this time, it is a little conspicuous and easy to arouse suspicion.

At dinner, a guest in his thirties came into the Zhonghe Inn and asked for two side dishes, a pot of wine, and two cakes, and ate and drank slowly. After eating, he shouted, "Boss, come and settle the bill." ”

The boss came and said, "You don't have to settle the bill, someone paid for your meal,"

The man was stunned and said, "Who will pay for me?" ”

The boss pointed out: "It's the guest officer." ”

There was a beautiful guest sitting in the corner eating, and when he saw the man look over, he smiled and nodded. It was Fan Li.

This one is curious, what is this? How can someone pay the bill for no reason? walked over and bowed: "Thank you, sir, may I ask the daimyo, why do you want to pay the bill?" ”

Fan Li returned the salute. Say, "Can you sit down and say a few words?" Have a seat. ”

The man sat down in confusion.

Fan Li took out two silver horns from his body, put them on the table, pushed them in front of the man, and said, "This is yours." ”

The man was taken aback: "Sir, what does this mean?" Even though you are poor, you cannot accept your gift for no reason. But his eyes couldn't help but stare at the silver horn, which was a lot of money.

Fan Li smiled and said, "Of course it's not for nothing, I have a request for the eldest brother." Please take it. ”

The man could not resist the temptation, and hesitantly put away the two silver horns, and said, "Sir, what can I do for you?" ”

Fan Li said: "You are a mason, right? ”

The man was startled again: "How do you know I'm a mason?" ”

Fan Li smiled and said: "You were eating just now, and there are some mason's tools in the bag at your feet, so I know that you are a craftsman, this will call it a day, eat some dinner and go home to sleep, you live in the city, right?" ”

The man cried softly, "Sir, how come you know everything, and I didn't tell you?" ”

Fan Li said: "It's very simple, if you don't live in the city, you would have gone out of the city and gone home before you closed the city gate." ”

The man said, "Yes, the gentleman has a very good brain." ”

Fan Li said: "What's the name of the eldest brother?" ”

The man said, "My name is Ada." ”

Fan Li said: "My name is Lu Qi. It came to pass that I came from the country of Qi and was the messenger of the country of Qi. I had never been an official before, and it was my relatives who made me an errand messenger. I just arrived in the country tonight. I can't do anything when it's late. Just sneak here, eat something by the way, and meet you, big brother. As for me, I'm a newcomer, and I don't know where the court of the country is, so I want to ask my eldest brother for advice, and I don't need to ask people tomorrow. Just like that, is the eldest brother willing to help? ”

Ah Da said: "My lord has found the right person when he asks about this, my house is not far from the palace of the imperial court, and I have also been in the palace." I also know a little about the situation inside. ”

Fan Li said: "Really? That's great, why did you enter the palace? ”

Ah Da said, "I am a mason, and I have entered the palace to repair the house. ”

Fan Li said: "I'm so lucky. Can you please introduce the situation to the eldest brother? ”

Ah Da said: "We might as well be like this, please come with me, my lord, we will approach the palace, I will introduce you to the situation, you will be more familiar." "The power of the two silver horns is very strong, so Ah Da helps with all his heart.

Fan Li settled the account. The two of them left the restaurant and walked down the street. Although the city is not large, it is well laid out, with straight and spacious streets. The houses are also relatively neat, and it can be imagined that although the country is not big, the common people are living a good life.

There are also shops open on the street. Although people basically do not make transactions, the most basic exchange is still needed. Commerce is underdeveloped, but there must be.

There is a square in front of the palace, which is not big, but there are still some people gathered, and there is even a stall selling snacks. On the other side, two torches were burned, and a group of people were around, cheering continuously. It turns out that someone is playing tricks.

Perhaps because of the small size of the country, the palace is not large, but it looks exquisite. It is surrounded on all sides by high walls.

Ah Da introduced that this is the main gate, and now the palace gate is closed, and there are lanterns illuminating it, you see, there are a few guards who are soldiers. After entering, walk through a patio, which is the main hall, which is the place of the court, and bypass the side of the main hall, which is the backyard, where is the living area of the monarch, and there are many palace maids, all of whom are very beautiful. The larger house in the middle of the back is the king's bedroom.

I don't know if it's the role of those two silver horns, or Ah Da is very enthusiastic, he introduced what he knew to Fan Li in detail.

Fan Li said: "Big brother, thank you so much, the introduction is so detailed, I don't have to take a detour tomorrow." You're tired from the day, please go home and rest. ”

Ah Da is gone. Fan Li walked around this complex, and his heart was more bottomed. This is, the people in the square have dispersed, the two lanterns on the palace gate emit a dim light, and a few soldiers are holding weapons and are walking back and forth.

Fan Li hid in the dark shadow of the house, observed silently for a while, turned around and left the palace quietly, followed the dark shadow on the side of the street, and walked quickly towards the north gate.

In the shadows, several figures greeted them, and they were several captains. Fan Li said: "How is the situation? ”

The report said: "There were thirty soldiers guarding the gates, ten of whom were on duty, and the other twenty were sleeping and preparing for a change of shift. There were four men at the gates, and six on the tower. Every half hour, a patrol of thirty men would come. The barracks were in Nancheng and there were about fifteen thousand troops. ”

Fan Li said: "Are all our people in place? ”

He replied, "It's all in place." ”。

Fan Li said: "Listen, after the second watch, there will be rockets shooting into the sky in the woods outside the city, indicating that the ambush outside the city is in place, and after the patrol passes, we will do it." Ten men to solve four by the gate, thirty men to solve six on the tower, and others to solve twenty sleeping ones. Be careful, move quickly, be ruthless, and try not to make a loud noise. Once this is done, a signal is sent out of the city. Let's go and prepare. ”

"Yes!"
