Yan Liang and Zhao Yi led two thousand Tianhai battalions to defend the danger and block the eastward advance of Cao's army.

In Xuzhou City, Yuan Xu was also deploying troops and planning to start a decisive battle with Cao's army.

A warship leaned on the coast of Qishan, and the officers of the Tianhai Battalion who got off the warship changed to warhorses and hurried to Xuzhou.

Zhu Yu is also among the officers.

After several months of training, after Yuan Xu left, Fu taught them how to write the march, and the first batch of staff officers of the Tianhai Battalion could accept the baptism of the battlefield.

All kinds of soldiers and horses are mobilizing, but in the Xuzhou official mansion, Yuan Xu is tidy and fiddling with some utensils.

One by one, sets of pots and bowls were placed beside him.

Several clay pots drilled holes, and wooden pipes were still worn in between.

Yuan Xu focused on fiddling with the utensils, but did not notice that Tian Feng came to his side.

"Childe!" After greeting Yuan Xu, Tian Feng said: "All the soldiers and horses have been mobilized, and they can fight a decisive battle with Cao's army." ”

"The time is not yet ripe for a decisive battle." Yuan Xu said: "You have to wait! ”

Cao Jun had just entered Xuzhou, and his morale was at his peak, and Tian Feng also knew that the casualties in the decisive battle at this time must be not small.

Watching Yuan Xu fiddling with the jars, Tian Feng asked, "What is the son doing?" ”

“****。” Yuan Xu said: "A certain person once equipped the night thorn with sweat medicine, but he always felt that the effect of this substance was too slow. It's better to make some ****. ”

"What is ****?"

"A little sackcloth dipped in a little and covering a person's mouth and nose can make a person unconscious in an instant."

Tian Feng blinked twice.

He had seen sweat pills. I've also heard the Night Assassin say it's easy to use.

I don't want Yuan Xu to be able to make a stronger drug than Meng's sweat medicine.

"Childe is fiddling with these, isn't that what he is doing?"

"What is this?" Pinch a small yellowed piece of solid. Yuan Xu asked Tian Feng.

"It's called sulfur, and it's hard to get by!"

"Sulfur burns. Vapor dissolved in water is sulfuric acid. Yuan Xu said: "A certain person distilled fine wine, the degree was purified, and it could be made by reacting with sulfuric acid." ”

Tian Feng listened to the clouds in the fog, and he didn't understand the **** approach at all.

"How could Childe understand so many strange things?" Tian Feng asked.

Of course, Yuan Xu will not say that he has the knowledge of later generations: "But I read more idle books." ”

Tian Feng didn't doubt it, and watched Yuan Xu make **** on the side.

Ma Fei, who left Xuzhou, had entered Xudu at this time.

Changed into the clothes of the common people and found a building in Xudu, where he and more than 20 night thorns pretended to be traveling merchants.

In the building, Ma Fei's room.

The oil light line is dim. He sat in the room with more than twenty night thorns.

"How's the probing?" Ma Fei asked.

"The palace is heavily guarded, and you can only explore the perimeter." One of the night thorns said, "As for the inner courtyard, there is no way to know! ”

"Can't go deeper?"

"There are too many guards to go deeper!"

Yuan Xu ordered him to lead the Night Assassin to rescue Liu Xie.

Although he said that he should give up immediately when he found that he could not act, Ma Fei still felt that if he didn't try, he would not be able to explain to Yuan Xu when he returned to Xuzhou!

First, he sent two night thorns to the palace to investigate.

The news I got was that there were too many guards, and there was no way to go deeper.

Ma Fei was a little depressed in his heart.

"You wait here, and tonight I will go and investigate in person." Ma Fei made a decision that surprised the Night Thorns.

"The general will not do it!" One of the night thorns said, "If there's a slip-up." What should we do? ”

"If you act unfavorably, you will return to Xuzhou immediately!"

"Never!" Another night thorn said: "If the general makes a mistake, I will wait for the return, and there will be no way to explain to the son!" I'll have to wait for this to happen! ”

"The palace is heavily guarded. You won't find anything when you go. Ma Fei said: "If you go alone, even if something goes wrong, you can withdraw as soon as possible!" ”

"If the general is insisted. I'll have to wait outside the palace! Another Night Thorn objected.

After thinking for a while, Ma Fei said, "It's okay." You wait to go, and you will only be picked up outside the palace. If you find something wrong. Don't linger, evacuate now! ”

The Nightthorns glanced at each other and nodded.

As the night deepened, Ma Fei changed into black clothes and rushed onto the street with more than twenty night thorns.

At night, Xudu is almost as clean as Xuzhou.

There were not half pedestrians on the streets, except for the occasional patrol of soldiers.

With the help of the streets and alleys to avoid patrolling Cao Jun, Ma Fei and the others approached the palace little by little.

Outside the palace, Ma Fei made a gesture.

More than twenty night thorns lurked in the alleyway, staring at the high walls of the palace not far away.

I looked left and right, and made sure that there was no one nearby, and I flew towards the courtyard wall of the palace.

The imperial palace of Xudu, of course, cannot be compared with that of Luoyang or Chang'an.

When he reached the courtyard wall, he threw the grappling hook up, and after a few strokes of the rope climbed up.

Squatting on the wall, he looked into the palace and found that the nearest guard was also twenty or thirty paces away, so he took off his grappling hook and jumped into the wall.

With his feet on the ground, Ma Fei looked around.

There are no patrol guards in the vicinity.

Hunched over, he cautiously walked forward.

With each step, probe the ground in front of you with your toes.

The ground is solid and there are no traps.

He stopped, only ten paces away from the two nearest guards.

As Nightthorn said, there are many guards in the palace.

Guards and guards plan with each other, as long as you kill one of them, the other guards will be able to find out!

Do it!

Can't move!

The only way is to bypass the guards and sneak into Liu Xie's residence!

Mo said that it was already difficult to find Liu Xie, even if he found him, how could he leave?

Ma Fei made a mistake!

His eyes wandered around, and the sound of footsteps reached Ma Fei's ears.

He hurried to his stomach, his eyes on the place where the footsteps had come from.

A group of ten guards came to him with torches.

The leading officer pressed his long sword, and although he knew that it was unlikely that anyone would sneak into the palace, his eyes kept sweeping around.

The nine soldiers who followed behind walked forward with long lances.

They all look straight ahead without squinting.

The patrol guards left, and Ma Fei once again observed the nearby guards who were keeping vigil.

No flaws!

Just when Ma Fei was in trouble, a strange cry came from the courtyard wall in the distance.

"There are thieves!" The screams were so loud in the darkness of the night that several of the Night's Watch guards ran out.

Before he left, he was already alarming the guard, and Ma Fei suddenly felt a sense of chagrin in his heart.

However, he soon realized that the strange scream did not bother him, but attracted the attention of the guards, revealing a hint of space.

Quickly glanced at the guards who stayed in the distance, and with experience, Ma Fei quickly determined where the gap was.

Jumping out, he pounced on the other guards like a lynx lurking in the night waiting to hunt its prey.

The short blade was withdrawn, and Ma Fei held one in each hand, jumped behind the two guards and stabbed out.

Two short blades stabbed the back of the necks of each of the two guards.

Grabbing the corpses by the collars and slowly lowering them down, Ma Fei then dragged them into the bushes behind them.
