......

The imperial city is thicker than the faces of the nobles in Kyoto, with horses to ride on the top, storage to store things on the bottom, and even the rooms for the deliberations of the forbidden army are also set up between those large bluestones, in the dark, revealing a solemnity. There was only a slight jump in the ***, shining on everyone's faces and eyes in the room, making them wake up.

The generals and captains of these forbidden armies are indeed very tired, since the three horsemen from Beijing reported the incident of Dadong Mountain, the whole Kyoto is about to storm, and the imperial palace they are responsible for guarding has become the center of the storm that all forces are watching. For several days in a row, none of the generals could leave the imperial city, and even when they were on duty, no one dared to go back to their homes to rest.

The flames turned into burning brilliance in the eyes of the eldest prince, and he looked at the dozen generals in the room faintly, and said in a cold voice: "Have you heard what this king said?"

There was silence in the room, and a general knelt on one knee with a calm face, gritted his teeth and said, "The last general is not clear." ”

"Do you want me to read the edict again?" the eldest prince stared into his eyes and said in a cold voice: "The prince colluded with the assassins of the Northern Qi Dynasty and Dongyi to assassinate the first emperor on the Dadong Mountain, intending to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne. Afterwards, he framed Lord Xiao Fan, and since this king received the edict of the first emperor, if there is one who should be punished, he should be punished!"

The general glanced at the thin piece of paper beside the eldest prince, and said with slightly narrowed eyes: "Your Highness, who knows the truth of the so-called edict?"

The eldest prince looked at him indifferently, then slowly took out a box from his bosom and placed it on the table.

The box was opened, and inside was a small seal, which had been missing for several days, so that the will of the palace could not comply with the transition...... The Emperor's Seal!

As soon as the seal came out. The faces of the generals in the room changed drastically. They each knelt on the ground and saluted to this jade seal, and no one dared to say more.

"Obey His Highness's military orders. ”

"Lord Xiao Fan was ordered to hoe and rebel, and ordered the king to help. ”

The eldest prince's gaze slowly slid over the faces of these generals kneeling on the ground, and he saw the thoughts of many people, although he listened to Fan Xian's persuasion and commanded the forbidden army with peace of mind, and many cronies had been installed in the forbidden army. However, there are still a lot of remnants of the land left by Yan Xiaoyi in charge of the forbidden army, if you want to rely on this seal and edict, let these people convince themselves to use it for their own purposes......

The corners of the eldest prince's eyes twitched, and he sneered self-deprecatingly in his heart. It's never been so simple.

"There are generals who are willing to follow the king to save the country in danger. Please stand up. The eldest prince said calmly, the brilliance of several oil lamps in the corner of the room. Covering his face, his face seemed to be bleeding.

All the generals in the room stood up. Stronger than people. At this time, all the people in the room were the captains of the Great Prince's own army, even those generals had other thoughts in their hearts. But he didn't dare to make trouble in person.

The general who came out to speak in front of the head had some bitterness in his lips, he had been in contact with the eldest princess in the palace, but he didn't expect that the eldest prince would suddenly attack tonight, gather all the generals in the secret room for a meeting, and the message was so fast that he didn't give himself a moment to react.

All the generals of the forbidden army are in the room, and no one is missing, if the eldest prince chooses to kill, no one can resist, so those Yan Xiaoyi's original subordinates have to temporarily make a mistake.

......

......

"Zhang Hao, Chen Yijiang......" The eldest prince suddenly opened his mouth and named the names of the five generals.

The five generals looked cold, glanced at each other, felt a hint of bad luck, and walked out of the queue. These five people were all subordinates who were promoted when Yan Xiaoyi was there.

The eldest prince looked at these five people indifferently, paused for a moment and then said faintly: "You know, what is the purpose of this king calling you out. ”

A general's face was as pale as earth, and he knelt down in front of the eldest prince with a puff and said, "Your Highness! ”

The eldest prince looked at him and nodded, and said gently, "How about you stay in this room for a long time first?"

The general's face changed, but he finally nodded and retreated to the wall.

And the other four people have extremely complicated emotions in their hearts, if they are guarded by the great prince's personal soldiers in this secret room, how can they send a message to the palace?

The four of them glanced at each other, and the person who led the speaker spoke, this person's surname was Chen Yijiang, and he was Yan Xiaoyi's cronies who were personally picked up back then, knowing that since the eldest prince was reversed today, he couldn't tolerate himself, and his identity was also doomed, so it was impossible to be restrained.

Chen Yijiang was silent for a moment and then said: "Lord Wang, at this time, there are at least six or seven hundred forbidden troops in the imperial city, and they are the subordinates of these five of us, dare to ask Lord Wang, if you don't have our help, how can you suppress all the forbidden troops?"

He raised his head suddenly, and said with a sneer: "The Kyoto garrison division may enter Beijing at any time, and the forbidden army has been transferred to Dadong Mountain by one-third. ”

Although these words were sharp, the silent officers in the room knew that this was just the last struggle of Chen Yijiang's stubble.

"The things that this king thinks about are good, and he never needs to think about them again. ”

The eldest prince looked at Chen Yijiang coldly, and his eyes gradually filled with a killing intent, a kind of indifferent killing intent that had been sharpened in the fight with the Hu people in the west.

Chen Yijiang's heart trembled, his blood rushed upward, he roared angrily, his hand held the saber at his waist, and he pulled the knife out of the sheath with a choked sound, and rushed towards the eldest prince.

The roar was cut off, the knife also fell to the ground, and the three spears stabbed Chen Yijiang's body with unusually cold-blooded and brutal eyes, piercing his body, and hanging in mid-air like this!

Chen Yijiang spurted blood in his mouth, looked at the eldest prince three feet away unwillingly and desperately, his body twitched twice on the spear, and he hung his head and died.

At the same time that Chen Yijiang drew his sword and rushed over, the other three generals left by Yan Xiaoyi also drew their sabers and rushed over bravely and desperately, but the room was full of the cronies of the eldest prince, and only a few sounds of breaking the wind could be heard.

A few flashes of red-red light......

The corpses fell to the ground, the smell of blood gradually rose, and the four generals of the forbidden army died in humiliation.

The eldest prince quietly looked at the corpse at his feet, and suddenly turned his head to look at the last general. Look at the man with his legs shaking. But he didn't have the courage to step forward at all, so he couldn't help but shake his head. Whispered something to curse.

"Optimistic. The eldest prince instructed his cronies, but walked out of the chamber without looking back.

......

......

Walking to the high imperial city, the eldest prince stood in the corner tower of the imperial city, and his palm gently stroked the city-guarding crossbow machine that was fixed to death. His eyes followed the big crossbow arrows that shone with black light, and looked at the square outside the imperial city. and the four alleys outside the square that had been held by the forbidden army.

"According to the commander's order, all the six hundred people are on duty to rest at this time. "The school officer who personally arranged for Fan Xian to lead the team into the palace. Standing behind the eldest prince, he reported in a low voice.

It took a day and a half. In the exchange of forbidden military land, the eldest prince finally succeeded in transferring the more than 600 forbidden soldiers out of the imperial city, without alarming the four generals who were dead at this time.

The eldest prince said quietly: "Are you ready?"

The officer glanced up at the eldest prince. Perseverance said: "1,200 people have been surrounded, and they can be used at any time." ”

At this time, those forbidden troops were resting in the station. There are already 1,200 subordinates loyal to the Great Prince. Infiltrate in the darkness of the night and divide and surround the 600 soldiers. Just give an order. The butcher's knife will be raised. Cleared the last part of the Forbidden Army.

"Those soldiers should still be sleeping. The eldest prince's expression was a little complicated, "He died in his sleep." It should be good. ”

The eldest prince personally led tens of thousands of troops to the west. Lay a good land merit on the edge of Xihu. The most praised, as well as the virtue of letting the sergeant serve the death. It is that he has always loved soldiers like sons. However...... Ci is not in charge of the army, especially in major matters involving the future of Qingguo, the heart of the great prince is like iron.

"I would like to wait for the commander to give the order. The cronie didn't know what the eldest prince was thinking, and he was a little anxious in his heart, secretly thinking that Lord Xiao Fan had already entered the palace, if the prince suddenly relented at this time, no one knew what would happen after dawn, so he would have such a reminder and cautious urging.

The Grand Prince smiled self-deprecatingly, and withdrew his gaze from the houses in the dark night, and looked back at the palace that enveloped the earth in the deeper night.

He watched for a long time, but never issued an order, because the harem was still so calm.

"It's not up to me to decide when to do it. The eldest prince gently patted the heavy city guarding crossbow machine under his palm, and said, "If we make the first move, I'm afraid that we will shock the people in the palace...... Fan Xian will decide when to do it. ”

He looked at the quiet deep palace, and couldn't help but shake his head, he was actually very similar to the crossbow guarding the city on the wall of this palace, although it was powerful, but he was bound by some concrete or illusory things, and he could only point the arrow at the outside of the palace, but he couldn't bear to face the palace.

――――――――――――――――――――

The entire imperial city is divided into three areas, and at the end of the small building of the Cold Palace Qiuyuan is not inhabited by any nobles, and it is basically a forgotten corner. The area surrounded by the walls of the Imperial City is a solemn complex of buildings, including the Taiji Palace, where the Emperor and his ministers discussed and decided all the affairs of the Qingguo.

The place where the nobles lived, behind the Taiji Palace, was composed of countless palaces, which were taken care of by the inner guards and the eunuchs of the inner court, which we generally called the harem.

Many people think that if they enter the imperial city, they can enter the harem smoothly, but they seem to have forgotten how much the emperor cares about his territory and his female beast.

The emperors of all dynasties have paid close attention to this matter, because they have too many women, no matter how talented they are, they will inevitably neglect too much, and they naturally become the easiest cuckolds in the world.

In order not to be cuckolded, the emperors invented eunuchs, built high walls in the middle of the harem and the front palace, and scattered a large number of guards they trusted. Therefore, in history, the perverts who have one leg or one finger with the harem concubines basically can't escape the three kinds of people: guards, imperial doctors, and eunuchs.

However, although the high walls of the harem could not prevent the red apricots in the palace from stretching out of the wall, they successfully blocked many people who wanted to rebel.

History has long proved this, more than 100 years ago during the Great Wei Dynasty, there was a Wenchen who took advantage of the emperor's expedition to rebel, he was like Fan Xian tonight, only brought a thousand people to kill the imperial city, inexplicably passed the defense of the forbidden army, and saw the success in the ...... But the queen who was left in the harem. With a large number of guards, eunuchs, and palace maids. Succeeded in keeping the rebellious soldiers out of the palace gates.

In the end, this bold man found out in despair. Those women and children eunuchs were even more powerful than the forbidden army, and they actually sealed themselves outside the palace for three days!

In the end, the rebel, of course, ended in death. And successfully stopped this rebellion. In addition to the calmness and bravery of the queen, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were all united. In fact, the most critical reason is ...... It was the high wall that the emperor used to keep women in captivity, and it was too strong!

......

......

However where there are walls. There must be a door, unless it's an underground tomb. In addition, because human beings have never liked to climb in and out through another window opened by God. Therefore, no matter how strict the construction is, all kinds of doors will be opened.

And if there is a door, there will naturally be a person who opens the door. Therefore, the key to determining whether a place is easy to attack is not how thick the door is. The deadbolt inside is not made of stainless steel. It's about whether you have mastered the person who opened the door.

Chairman Mao and many great men have said that the ultimate meaning that determines everything is human beings.

......

......

Fan Xian dared to storm the harem beyond everyone's expectations. Naturally, it was because he had mastered the one who opened the door.

The 200 "forbidden troops" followed the scheduled route on weekdays. Carrying out a silent and tense patrol in the high imperial city.

The starlight fades. The city grew dark. The Praetorian Army descended the stone staircase back and forth.

There was no light in the Taiji Hall at all, and occasionally a few guards with lanterns could be seen patrolling the ground. There is also a eunuch in charge of beating the ground, walking by with his body.

This group of forbidden troops gathered in the place closest to the harem under the imperial city. And then...... Spread out like the wind!

Fan Xian looked at his subordinates indifferently. Spread out like countless falcons. pounced on the remnants of the front palace and the lights on the ground, but in a moment. And then the lights came. Several of Liao Liao's guards were quietly stabbed to death.

He nodded, these two hundred people were a mixed army, and one hundred people were transferred from the five hundred black horsemen. The other hundred were the last Assassin troops to be drawn from the sixth, operating in the dark. It's really ruthless and powerful.

Jing Ge, the deputy commander of the Black Cavalry who was following him, glanced at him, then at the high wall of the harem about dozens of zhang away, and asked in a deep voice, "Attack?"

Fan Xian's eyes glanced at an unobtrusive gate under the palace wall, shook his head and said, "Let's go to the door." ”

"Go to the door?" Jing Ge glanced at Lord Tisi in surprise, thinking that what the Lord said was really wonderful, could it be that he went to Dadong Mountain and actually learned the legendary Earth Temple wall piercing skills?

Fan Xian ignored him and took off the heavy armor of the forbidden army on his body. The tight-fitting black night clothes inside are exposed, and they are covered by the trees of the front palace. Approached the door.

Jing Ge made a gesture behind him, and the members of the assault team who were scattered in the darkness around him suddenly flew back like bats, with Fan Xian as the center, arranged in two straight lines, and clinged to the palace wall of the harem.

Jing Ge also followed, standing two feet behind Fan Xian, looking up at the wall, thinking that it was not too high, at least more than half of the two hundred people could climb over.

At this moment, the clouds in the sky dispersed slightly, and a clear moon came out from the light clouds, and the silver moonlight shone on the silver ground of Jingge, which was very beautiful.

Fan Xian stood in front of the door and knocked lightly under the moon.

......

......

The knuckles landed lightly on the heavy wooden door, making a slight humming sound, but it was a loud sound, and no one responded from behind the wooden door, but then there was a slight sound of the door spring moving lightly.

The two hundred black-clothed people lurking on both sides of Fan Xian, their faces couldn't help but show shock, tonight they followed Lord Xiao Fan, and entered the palace by the edict of the first emperor, although these two hundred people are brave and loyal, but their hearts are also tragically ready to die.

Unexpectedly, Lord Xiao Fan would gently knock on the door of the harem like this!

At this moment, all the subordinates who entered the imperial city suddenly had infinite awe for Fan Xian in their hearts, and they were also more confident in tonight's success or failure.

The wooden door of the harem is extremely heavy, and it is obvious that the traitor who opens the door inside is a little difficult. Fan Xian closed his eyes, put his palm on the wooden door, and suddenly frowned, and the true qi in his body was lucky. Gently, a piece of true qi passed down the palm of his hand to the door, shaking the wooden door open about two people wide.

The door was opened very gently, without making a sound.

Fan Xian flashed into the door like a gust of wind. Then he glanced behind the door and looked at his eunuch with nervous and frightened eyes. Nodding slightly, he said, "It's hard work." ”

Grandpa Dai swallowed a mouthful of saliva and glanced around the black press with some trepidation. Didn't dare to answer.

I'm afraid that the eldest princess didn't think of it. Now in the Imperial Palace, there are still people who dare to risk the danger of being a traitor to Fan Xian. No one would have thought that this mole. It turned out that it is now long gone. It's just an ordinary poor old eunuch's father-in-law Dai!

Yes, Fan Xian used to be kind to Dai's father-in-law, at least three times. But this eunuch was willing to take such a big risk to help Fan Xian, not only to repay the favor, on the one hand, he wanted to help Fan Xian. After regaining oneself and losing oneself, he misses the power of the land so much. On the one hand, he has been deeply involved with Fan Xian over the years. If the crown prince really became the emperor, I am afraid that he would not even think about the messenger of the laundry bureau. Just wait for death.

The most important thing is that Dai's father-in-law is clear. His nephew has actually been under Fan Xian's surveillance. And Dai's father-in-law also counted on his nephew to support his old age.

Grandpa Dai looked around in horror, he was actually a little puzzled. Why does it open the door so smoothly when you open the door yourself? The guards staring around. Why didn't you find yourself?

"Your Excellency. The minions lead the way for you......"

The two-person wide palace gate was opened. From time to time, the man in black floated in. The speed of these black-clothed men was extremely fast, and they all broke into the harem in a short time. Choose the terrain to hide your body. Grandpa Dai looked at this scene and trembled. I know that this is what Lord Xiao Fan used to disrupt the subordinates of the palace. Just watching...... Doesn't it seem like there are too few people?

"Find a place to pretend to be dead. ”

Fan Xian whispered to Father-in-law Dai. The intent of determination in his eyes gradually became stronger, and he was familiar with the terrain of the palace. It's something that no one can imagine. Because from the first time he entered the Hanguang Palace to steal the key, he didn't know how many times he calculated the retreat route in the palace.

Opportunity. It has always been reserved only for those who are prepared.

When Dai Gonggong heard this, he quickly bent over and disappeared into the night. Listen to Lord Xiao Fan's words, find an unobtrusive place and pretend to be dead.

And the two hundred night pedestrians here have already made their final preparations. Fan Xian glanced at Jing Ge, his thin lips opened slightly, and he spit out a cold word: "Suddenly!"

......

......

The task was already arranged before entering the palace. With eyeliner in the palace that others can't guess, and there are various channels to help Fan Xian understand, he is very clear about the layout in the palace, and divides the two hundred people into four groups, the most important of which are the two groups led by him and Jing Ge.

Fan Xian will take six assassin swordsmen with him. Straight through the Hanguang Palace, it must be before the people in the palace react. Rescue Ning Cairen, Yi Gui Concubine, and the Three Princes from the Queen Mother's personal care!

This is the top priority, the eldest prince dares to lead the forbidden army

It was because he believed that Fan Xian would be able to save his mother. Fan was disappointed that his brother trusted him so much.

And Jing Ge is mainly a single horse master among the black horses, and he wants to rush to Guangxin Palace with a sudden kill, so as to hit it with one hit.

Because the eldest princess is in Guangxin Palace, if she doesn't kill this woman, Fan Xian will always feel that there is a poisonous snake staring at him.

Fan Xian has already found out that Wan'er and Dabao are in Guangxin Palace, but he doesn't go to Guangxin Palace in person, on the one hand, Hanguang Palace is more important, and on the other hand, it is ...... I don't know if he was subconsciously afraid of facing that situation, so he simply let Jing Ge lead the army?

......

......

Two hundred black-clothed people were like two hundred ghosts, under the faint moonlight, divided into countless lines, and followed the arrows, rushing to various places in the harem.

Fan Xian walked quickly in the direction of Hanguang Palace, passing flowers, trees, lakes, pavilions, and then met several guards.

"C-value guards with knives. ”

Fan Xian didn't look at the guards who were standing beside him, but just said in his heart, the guards who were in charge of patrolling this area in shifts were the guards on duty, and it seemed that the little guy didn't miss it.

The reason why I don't look at these guards is because these guards along the way can't move anymore!

I don't know if they were poisoned or what kind of curse they received, these guards closest to the palace door opened by Grandpa Dai were horrified in their eyes, but they couldn't make a sound, and the whole body was a little stiff, no wonder Grandpa Dai opened the palace door for Fan Xian. It turned out to be so smooth!

This scene is very weird, a few words in charge of the harem guards, looking at the man in black floating in front of his eyes, there is no way to react!

Snort a few times. The last two six-place swordsmen of Fan Xian's team. Pull out the iron and slash the throats of these guards cleanly, killing them and finally freeing them from this nightmarish emotional distress.

Then the trees, then the flowers. Crossing the lake, passing the pavilion, Hanguang Hall is close in front of you.

Fan Xian shook his hand, and a dark crossbow shot out. Crucified a eunuch who discovered himself and kept vigil with his mouth open!

......

......

Fan Xian needs speed, and he needs the feeling of assault and killing that comes with this speed. needed this feeling to shock everyone in the palace, so he didn't care about his body being exposed.

The medicine should only be used against one squad of guards. It can only guarantee that the guards will find themselves later. He never had the luxury of expecting it. He broke into the palace with two hundred men. Until he stood in front of the queen mother's bed, and still no guard could find him.

It's only a matter of time before it's discovered.

Hanguang Temple is far away from this group of night killers who shoot like arrows from the string. It's less than thirty feet.

And in the distant place behind the side, there was a sudden exclamation, and several swords and soldiers clashed with gold and iron. Fan Xian didn't look back. But I also heard that it was not the direction of Guangxin Palace. It should be the other two groups of subordinates who are ready to go to the guards in the dark.

His heart sank. A drop of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, knowing that his whereabouts had finally been discovered.

"Put. Scatter!"

Fan Xian's body did not stop, but his right hand clenched into a fist, and then quickly dispersed. As soon as he saw this order, the well-trained swordsmen of the six places of the Supervision Yuan immediately dispersed from behind him, and along the curved lake on the side of the Hanguang Palace, they turned into countless curves, and walked around the road, sheltered by trees, towards the deserted palace.

And the swordsman of the Supervision Yuan who was dragging at the back suddenly stopped, pierced the iron drill into the soil, took out a small cylinder from his arms, squinted at the bright moon in the sky, and then pulled hard!

The fireworks soared into the sky, illuminating the quiet and dark Imperial Palace in an instant, and sending the clearest signal to the people hiding in all directions in Kyoto.

The stealth has come to an end, and the raid has officially begun.

......

......

A knife flew over and slashed into the right shoulder of the Inspectorate swordsman. The swordsman was still holding the fireworks, and he didn't dodge, and blood burst out. But after he snorted, he pulled his left hand back on the iron and fought with the two guards who rushed next to him.

Fan Xian was only ten zhang away from Hanguang Hall at this time, he didn't go to see the fireworks, he didn't have time to pay attention to the life and death of the loyal subordinate, he just stared at Hanguang Hall coldly, and found that there was movement inside, and he couldn't help but feel cold, the reaction speed of the defense force in this harem was really higher than his own estimate.

Quick, faster!

There seemed to be guards everywhere who reacted, and Fan Xian was facing the Hanguang Hall at this time, his eyes were slightly narrowed, his killing intent was fully released, and the domineering true qi in his body was raised to the extreme point that the meridians could hold in an instant, and then stepped on the stone fence on the side of the temple!

The stone fence is shattered!

With the help of this huge anti-shock force, Fan Xian's people flew up, like a big black bird, with a rough and arrogant posture under the moonlight, driving to the top of the Hanguang Palace, showing their determination!

To the highest place, the true qi gradually slowed down, and the body had the tendency to fall, he snorted, and slapped his right hand horizontally, and with the momentum of the big wall coffin, his body moved horizontally for three points, and slapped on the glazed tiles of the Hanguang Palace.

Under the shot, the tiles flew wildly, flying in the moonlight, giving people the feeling that at this moment, the entire Hanguang Hall was trembling!

No one can match Fan Xian's speed at this time, and no one dares to resist such an indomitable momentum. Under the moonlight, with the power of a beat, he flew up again, like a big bird spreading its wings, approaching the top of the temple, and then his whole body was lucky, and he fell!

With a loud bang, Hanguang Hall was smashed out of a big hole by the domineering true qi of his whole body!

Just when the palace maid of Hanguang Hall lit the first palace lamp in horror, Fan Xian, who was dressed in black, fell on the floor of the apse of Hanguang Hall like a stone, his side was full of broken tiles and dust, and under his feet was the bluestone floor that was cracked inch by inch. In his hand is the sword of the Son of Heaven.
