Intramuros.

At the very edge of the west of the city, there are more than a dozen restaurants here, which is the most lively place in the royal city and the most prosperous place.

On both sides of a wide official road, large restaurants built of mahogany abound, and the people and drinkers come and go, flowing endlessly; In the past, there were many merchants who sold alcohol here, but because the royal city had been closed at this time, it was strictly investigated, so there were no merchants.

In the middle of these restaurants, there is the tallest restaurant, which is the territory of the Jinyiwei, as early as January, they came to the royal city, and the leader is a general banner of the Jinyiwei, named Miansheng.

Miansheng, who was Chinese New Year's Eve two years old at the time, learned swordsmanship since he was a child, and was also well-known in the rivers and lakes, but because he made a small mistake, he was imprisoned in the county prison, and then he was used by Zhou Yi and trained to become a killer.

Behind the restaurant is a courtyard covering an area of about one mile, which was bought by Miansheng for more than 2,000 gold, it was originally a large private house, but at this moment it has become a place for Jinyi Wei to rest and practice.

People come and go in the restaurant, the sound of swords in the courtyard is piercing, Miansheng walks back and forth above the courtyard with a long sword on his back, and in front of him, there are hundreds of black-clothed warriors who are practicing swords and killing each other.

At this time, a man dressed like a 'hotel junior' walked in: "Lord General Banner, General Zuo is visiting and is waiting in the private room of the restaurant." ”

"Got it." Miansheng answered, turned around and said a few words to a few small flags who were practicing swords, and Miansheng strode towards the outside of the courtyard.

The exit of the courtyard is not the gate, but a secret compartment in the study of the restaurant, except for the Jinyi guards, others do not know the existence of this courtyard at all.

Miansheng's feet were fast, and in a few big steps he came to the dark grid, he activated the mechanism, and immediately flashed out.

In the private room upstairs, a middle-aged man was sitting precariously with a cup of hot tea in his hand, and this person was General Zuo of Guxi County, Liu Yang.

Although Liu Yang is high in the position of General Zuo, his Wen Taowu strategy is unbearable, and he can be in this position because of nepotism, and his sister is Zhou Yi's princess.

Zhou Yi also knew that Liu Yang had no talent, so he always abandoned it, and he had an empty title, but he didn't give him the slightest real power.

Liu Yang has no ambitions, he just wants to live in peace and stability, since Wang Xu came to the royal city, he is unable to sleep and eat, if the royal city is broken, as a member of the royal family, it is naturally difficult to escape death.

Aguche, Guan Qing, and Guan Hua died in battle!

Lu Yang led an army of 50,000 to the south!

These two news made him almost collapse to the extreme, at this time he was already flustered, completely unnoticed, fortunately, at this time, he met Miansheng, Miansheng pointed out the way out for him.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Miansheng strode in: "General Zuo, don't come unharmed." ”

"Unharmed, unharmed." Liu Yang pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Brother Mian, please take a seat." ”

Miansheng sat down slowly, took a sip of tea unhurriedly, Liu Yang was anxious, now that the rainy season is over, the enemy army may attack the city at any time, and he wants to find a way out during this time.

"Brother Mian, can you really save me?"

Miansheng affirmed: "Of course, as long as you provide me with Zhou Yi's every move on time, when the city is broken, I will definitely intercede for you in front of the lord." ”

This is the second time that the two have been in contact, and Liu Yang is full of sadness: "The information is there, and I can still help you break the city, but." Liu Yang seemed to hesitate.

Miansheng raised his eyebrows, and said unhappily: "You are really unhappy, I have said it, if you can provide me with news in the royal city, I will definitely ensure your wealth and glory." ”

Liu Yang gritted his teeth, got up and went outside the room to take a look, and when he was sure that no one was eavesdropping, he finally turned around and came to Miansheng: "I mean, I can not only provide you with news, but also open the south door." The words were so loud that they were almost inaudible.

Miansheng's interest was high, and he immediately stood up excitedly, if he could really win the royal city from inside and outside, then this credit is not small, you must know that the strong head of the royal city is in the city gate, as soon as the city gate is opened, the army can drive straight in, and the land of the royal city will be at your fingertips.

"If you can open the south gate, you can have whatever you want! Just open your mouth. ”

Liu Yang was a little worried: "You are just a little centurion, can you call the shots?" ”

Miansheng finally understood at this moment, after saying so much, Liu Yang was worried that he had no decision-making power, for fear that he would have nowhere to receive a reward for his meritorious service. Miansheng said: "Don't worry, I can call the shots, if you don't believe it, I will contact the lord now, and you can have a personal interview with the lord." ”

Liu Yang waved his hand: "It's not necessary, I just want to live a peaceful life." ”

"And what do you want?" Miansheng Road.

Liu Yang said: "After General Wang takes Guxi County, he will give me the post of county commander of Fuchun County, five thousand taels of gold, and I will take my sister and other clansmen to Fuchun County, and General Wang shall not stop them for any reason, and shall not condemn them." ”

"That's it, it's simple, I think the lord will definitely agree, I can promise you!" Miansheng is refreshing.

Liu Yang was extremely excited, he didn't want to get ahead, he just wanted to live a peaceful life, and it was his goal to live with his family forever, he looked far ahead, knowing that Zhou Yi was by no means the opponent of Wang Xu and Lu Yang, so as early as when Lu Yang led the troops to the south, he made up his mind to abandon Zhou Yi! Bao Liu clan!

Miansheng hurriedly said: "I have agreed to your matter, when are you going to open the south gate?" ”

Liu Yang thought for a while and said, "You also know my situation, although I have the title of general, I don't have a single soldier in my hands. ”

Hearing this, Miansheng was slightly angry: "Then what else do you say, how can you become a big thing without soldiers and horses?" ”

"Brother Mian, don't worry, listen to me." Lu Yang said: "A few days ago, General Agu, Guan Qing and Guan Hua were killed, since then there is a lack of generals in the royal city, in order to guard the city gate, Zhou Yi selected ten generals in the army to lead 50,000 people as the city defense troops, each army is divided into 5,000 people, a total of ten, take turns to defend the city, in order to be perfect; I am one of these generals, and I have 5,000 men under my command. ”

Miansheng was overjoyed: "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's do it tonight, I'll go and contact the lord now, and then we will join forces inside and outside to break through the royal city." After saying that, Miansheng was about to leave.

Liu Yang grabbed Miansheng: "Brother Mian, don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet." ”

Miansheng sat down patiently, and Liu Yang continued: "There are two dilemmas if you want to open the city gate, first, I have never been in charge of a soldier before, and many generals in the army are dissatisfied, without Zhou Yi's royal order, they will not listen to me, especially those centurions and thousand-necks, who have followed Zhou Yi for many years, and they are not something I can call." ”

"Second, now the south gate is garrisoned by other generals, without the king's order, I can't go to change the defense, if I forcibly change the defense, it will definitely arouse suspicion, a bloody battle is inevitable, when the army in the city rises up and attacks, how can we succeed?"

Miansheng understood at this time, and immediately calmed down, it seems that opening the city gate is not so simple, it needs to go through precise deployment and planning, this matter is too important, he decided, wait and go to report to Wang Xu.

After thinking for a moment, Miansheng asked, "In other words, you can't change your guard until the soldiers stationed at the city gate are all dead?" ”

Liu Yang nodded.

Miansheng thought about it, and then had a plan in his heart, and said: "Wait a minute, I will give you twenty people, turn them into your own soldiers, you take them into the barracks, and after dark, kill all the centurions and commanders in the army, and then the five thousand troops will be completely in your hands." ”

"As for the issue of changing the defense, it is also very simple, I will immediately inform the lord of this matter, and the lord will definitely lead a large army to attack the city, and the five thousand defenders can be wiped out within half a day, and then you will ask Zhou Yi for battle."

At this point, it was already very clear, Liu Yang nodded solemnly: "It's up to Brother Mian's plan." ”

After the two discussed, they got up and walked out of the private room.

When Liu Yang came here, he brought a team of soldiers, which were the pro-soldiers who protected his safety, and brought these people to the back of the restaurant, Miansheng called more than a dozen brocade guards, divided them by two, put these people down in minutes, and then changed into the clothes of the pro-soldiers.

"I'll go first, Brother Mian, please rest assured, just wait for my good news here."

Miansheng nodded.

Twenty pro-soldiers followed closely behind Liu Yang, and the group walked out of the restaurant, and then walked towards the inner city.

In the restaurant, Miansheng was overjoyed, and finally wanted to make meritorious service, thinking about the fact that there were more than 1,000 people in Jinyiwei, but he didn't expect that the first person to make meritorious service was himself, how could he not be happy.

"Niu Er, take care of the restaurant, I'll go out."

After explaining to the shopkeeper, Miansheng strode out of the city, he wanted to tell Wang Xu the good news as soon as possible.
