Chapter 1030: Disguise
Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.inforeadx;? Shangguan Xiu and the others hid in a small alley near the palace, looking out,
They were looking for weak spots in the rebels so that they could break through the rebels and enter the palace.
But the outside of the palace was full of people, and they couldn't see the border at a glance, and if they forced their way through, they would be sent to death, and they would have to be beaten into a sieve by everyone's rebels on the spot.
Cai Jiu looked at it for a while, his brows tightened, he retracted his head, his eyes rolled, and then looked back at the corpse of the rebel who had just been killed by them and fell in the alley, his eyes suddenly lit up, and said, "We can change into the clothes of the rebels, pretend to be rebels, and fool the past,"
Tang Mingzhu, who was standing beside Shangguan Xiu, pursed his lips and mocked in a low voice: "Well, it's a good idea, bad luck, we walked into the rebels and were seen to have a flaw, it became a self-throwing net, be lucky, we successfully deceived the rebels, and we had to be killed by the Praetorian Guards in the palace as rebels,"
Cai Jiu's face flushed, he glanced at Tang Mingzhu, and didn't say anything more, Shangguan Xiu didn't listen to what the two of them were saying, his eyes were fixed on the crowd of rebels in the distance,
In the crowd of rebels, he saw a familiar figure, he squinted his eyes, looked at it for a while, and asked sideways, "Song Sheng has brought his family into the palace,"
The hall soldiers looked at each other, they really didn't know whether Song Sheng had entered the palace or not, Cai Jiu answered: "Back to Your Highness, when the city was broken, Lord Song had not yet entered the palace, and ...... And ......"
"And what,"
"And there are rumors that Lord Song has taken refuge in Tang Yu, and the reason why the rebels were able to suddenly break through the defense of Shangjing City is also due to Lord Song's internal help, and the villain can't be sure of the truth of this news yet," Cai Jiu said cautiously,
Song Sheng is a powerful minister on the same level as Cai Xiao and Qiu Yi, he is a high-ranking and upright person, and there is no evidence to say that he defected to the rebels, if it is determined that the news is false, he will be investigated in the future, he is a capital crime.
Shangguan Xiu's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said, "It seems to be right,"
"Your Highness," everyone looked at Shangguan Xiu in puzzlement,
"Among the rebels, I think there is a person who is very familiar, like Song Sheng,"
"Where is it," Cai Jiu and the others poked their heads out one after another,
Shangguan Xiu raised his hand and pointed to the east of the rebels, and everyone looked at it with all their eyes, but as far as the eye could see, except for the rebels or the rebels, they couldn't see anything at all.
Cai Jiu retracted his head and said with a wry smile: "Villain...... The villain's cultivation is far inferior to His Royal Highness, and he didn't see Lord Song,"
Shangguan Xiu pondered for a moment, turned around and walked back to the depths of the alley, came to the corpse of a rebel, looked down, felt that the corpse was about the same size as himself, he opened the corpse's clothes,
Everyone hurriedly gathered around and asked, "Your Highness,"
"You are waiting for me here," Shangguan Xiu began to take off his coat after taking off the corpse's clothes, and said: "I disguised myself as a rebel, blended in, and waited for an opportunity to capture Song Sheng, and take Song Sheng as a hostage, which can help us enter the palace,"
If Shangguan Xiu is only alone, it will be easy for him to enter the palace, the key is that there is still Tang Mingzhu, and there are so many cousins, they either don't know how to be spiritual, or they can't complete the spiritual transformation of the armor, turn into wings, and fly into the palace.
Everyone's faces changed at the same time, even Cai Jiu felt that Shangguan Xiu was too risky to do this, he frowned, and said, "Your Highness, think twice,"
Shangguan Xiu smiled, the cold light from his eyes was cold, and he said, "If that person is really Song Sheng, even if I don't have a chance to capture him alive, I will take off his head,"
As one of the three powerful ministers of the imperial court, if he defects to the rebels, that is treason, and he wants to put the wind country to death.
Cai Jiu looked at Shangguan Xiu with blank eyes, hesitated for a while, he took off the clothes of another rebel corpse, and said at the same time: "The villain goes with His Highness, even if he is crushed to pieces, he will be punished for treason,"
"Ninth Master," Cai Jiu's subordinates all stepped forward to stop,
Cai Jiu glanced at everyone fiercely, no need to speak, just a look, and then held back everyone's words of persuasion back to his throat, everyone looked at each other, and said in unison: "I'll go with the ninth master,"
"No one has to follow me, too many people will only add chaos and get in the way," Cai Jiu said categorically, if the person Shangguan Xiu said was really Song Sheng, as Shangguan Xiu said, if you can't capture him, you have to kill him,
In the court, who has the closest relationship with Song Sheng, that is Cai Xiao, if Song Sheng is indeed treasonous, how can Cai Xiao not be linked, how can he not be suspected by the emperor,
Cai Jiu chose to act with Shangguan Xiu at this time, which was to use his life to show an attitude, Cai Xiao and even the entire Cai family never colluded with Song Sheng and his party, and never committed treason with Song Sheng's party.
Shangguan Xiu, who had changed into the uniform of the rebels, looked at Cai Jiu with bright eyes, and there was a rare appreciation for this person in his heart.
What is called diehard, what is called dead, is vividly expressed in Cai Jiu, when he encounters an incident, his first consideration is not his own life and death, but the life and death of the master, the rise and fall of the entire family,
The corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth raised, and he said to Tang Jun, who also planned to disguise himself as a rebel: "You don't have to go with me, just me and Cai Jiu, it's enough," As he spoke, he looked at Wang Kui and said, "Brother Wang,"
"Your Highness,"
"You and your brothers must protect the county lord, if I don't come back, you should find a hidden house to hide, and you must not be rash and fight the rebels," Shangguan Xiu briefly explained,
"Your Highness—"
Tang Mingzhu's eyes were red, and he grabbed Shangguan Xiu's hand with teary eyes,
The latter smiled at her and said with relief: "Don't worry about me, just rebels, I haven't paid attention to them, and those who can help me are not among the rebels," as he spoke, he put on his clothes neatly and walked towards the outside of the alley,
Cai Jiu hurriedly got dressed, grabbed two handfuls of blood on the corpse, wiped them on his face, and then followed Shangguan Xiu and walked out of the alley together.
The so-called rebel military uniform is the military uniform of the local army of Fengjun, which is very similar to the military uniform of the Central Army, except that a red belt is tied on the right arm.
Shangguan Xiu and Cai Jiu first cautiously walked into the rebel crowd, the two did not go too deep, just mixed in the periphery of the rebel crowd, their eyes were on the front, but they actually used their spare eyes to secretly observe the reactions of the rebels around them,
Seeing that the rebels around him did not make any changes to the two of them, the two of them could basically be sure that their disguise was successful, at least they would not be recognized by the rebels at a glance.
Neither of them spoke, and they slowly rubbed back in unison, withdrawing from the crowd of rebels,
Cai Jiu followed Shangguan Xiu to the east, staring at the black hair hanging down on Shangguan Xiu's chest, frowning secretly, just now he was only concerned about changing clothes quickly, and he didn't notice how Shangguan Xiu dyed the silver hair on his temples black.
It's incredible to be able to dye all the silver hair black in such a short period of time, and not find a single white in it.
If it weren't for Shangguan Xiu's identity being too special, Cai Jiudu wanted to grab his hair and carefully study what he used to dye his hair.
"I'm curious," Shangguan Xiu looked ahead, walked forward with his head held high, but suddenly shook over lightly,
Cai Jiu's body was shocked, and he hurriedly withdrew his inquiring gaze, bowed slightly, and said: "The villain is quite specialized in the art of disguise, so it is inevitable that he will be curious......"
"Being curious in a place where you shouldn't be curious may make you die quickly," Shangguan Xiu turned his head and smiled leisurely at Cai Jiu, revealing two rows of gloomy little white teeth,
Cai Jiu coughed dryly, immediately lowered his head, and did not dare to answer again.
"You're good,"
"Ah," Cai Jiu didn't react a little,
"See,"
"What," Shangguan Xiu's words were too jumpy, and there was no connection between them, Cai Jiu's face was dazed and inexplicable, Shangguan Xiu nodded forward, Cai Jiu followed his line of sight, in front, there was a large group of rebels, and there were many people in civilian clothes, through the gap in the crowd, you could vaguely see a person in a brocade robe standing in the crowd, as for what it looked like, it was really blocked by the line of sight, and I couldn't see it clearly,
"The person in the crowd is Song Sheng,"
"Like,"
"......" Just by virtue of your uncertain 'like' word, I will follow you to the danger, I am really crazy, Cai Jiu muttered secretly to himself in his heart,
As a former enemy, perhaps it is precisely because he was once an enemy that Cai Jiu's psychology at this time is full of contradictions,
His reason told him that for the sake of a person who was not sure of his identity, it was unwise to follow Shangguan Xiu deep into the rebels, but in terms of emotion, he felt that it was the wisest choice to do so, which was very strange and tangled.
When he was hostile to Shangguan Xiu, he was a terrible enemy, and when he fought side by side with Shangguan Xiu, he became the most reliable backer, so that those who walked beside him would naturally have an inexplicable sense of security.
"I'm afraid," Shangguan Xiu turned his head and glanced at him,
"......" Cai Jiu was silent for a moment, and said quietly: "Lao Jiu is never afraid of death, but he is afraid that death is not worth it,"
"So, you're good," Shangguan Xiu nodded, he looked ahead, and said quietly: "Restrain your murderous aura, Song Sheng has a master by his side,"
Secretly ashamed, Cai Jiu hurriedly gathered his mind, the light in his eyes disappeared, lowered his head slightly, followed Shangguan Xiu, and approached the crowd as if at will.
The closer I got to the crowd, the clearer the voice came from inside.
"The one guarding the North Palace Gate should be the commander of the left battalion of the Praetorian Guard, Guan Qing, this person is the younger brother of the commander of the 11th Army Corps Guan Xi, if he can capture Guan Qing alive, he can use him to blackmail Guan Xi, let Guan Xi lead the 11th Army, and defect to His Royal Highness King Yu......"
Hearing the words in the crowd, Cai Jiu's body tensed, and he subconsciously clenched his fists, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, he was no stranger to this voice, he didn't know how many times he had heard it, it wasn't Song Sheng or who,
It seems that the rumors are true, Song Sheng really turned against Tang Yu and led the rebels into the city, this thief is hateful, he really deserves death.
As soon as Cai Jiu's heart had murderous thoughts, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "What kind of person?"
Oops, Cai Jiu secretly said badly, he reacted extremely quickly, and did not deliberately hide the murderous aura in his heart, but held his sword high and yelled in the direction of the palace: "Kill, kill into the palace, cut off the head of the demon girl, and avenge the brothers who died,"
I don't know if Cai Jiu's changed voice caused a resonance among the surrounding rebels, or if he heard someone shouting slogans, the nearby rebels had to respond, and the people shouted in unison: "Kill, kill all the eagle dogs, kill the demon girl, kill—"
In the shouts of hundreds of rebels, Cai Jiu's roar was drowned out, and in the soaring murderous aura of hundreds of rebels, the murderous aura on Cai Jiu's body was also covered,
Listening to the waves of shouting and killing around him, Cai Jiu secretly sighed, and muttered in his heart that it was dangerous,
Shangguan Xiu lost no time in secretly giving him a thumbs up, smiling, and praised in a low voice: "Good courage, I can even shout words like 'kill the demon girl', and when I enter the palace, I should ask Your Majesty for Mr. Cai Jiu for merit,"
When Cai Jiu heard this, sweat was like rain, and his facial features were crumpled together, Your Highness, we are now on the same boat, you can't harm me,
