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. Only a little jumping light shone on the faces and eyes of everyone in the room, and woke them up.

These generals and captains of the forbidden army are indeed very tired, since the three horsemen from Beijing reported the incident of Dadong Mountain, the whole of Kyoto has come in a storm, and the imperial palace they are responsible for guarding has become the center of the storm that all forces are watching. Counting in a row, no general could leave the imperial city, and even when it was on duty, no one dared to go back to the house 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 years, so that the will of the palace could not be complied with...... The Emperor's Seal!

As soon as the seal came out, the faces of the generals in the room changed drastically, and 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, but Yan Xiaoyi still had a lot of remnants left behind by the forbidden army, if you want to rely on this party seal and edict, let these people convincingly use it for their own use...... The corners of the eldest prince's eyes twitched, and he sneered self-deprecatingly in his heart, there has never been such a simple thing in the world.

"If there are generals who are willing to follow this king to save the country in danger, please stand up. The eldest prince said calmly, and the brilliance emitted by the few oil lamps in the corner of the room enveloped his face, making his face seem to be spilling blood.

All the generals in the room stood up, stronger than people, at this time all the generals in the room were the prince's personal captains, even if those generals had other thoughts in their hearts, they didn't dare to attack 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 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 like dirt, 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 half a year first?"

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

And the other four people have extremely complicated feelings in their hearts, if they are guarded by the 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 it was the person who led the speaker to speak, 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, 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, what can I do now to fight against those tiger and wolf divisions? ”

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

"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, and the sword light shone a few times in the 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, looking at the man trembling his legs, but he didn't have the courage to step forward at all, he couldn't help but shake his head and scolded softly.

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

............ Walking to the high imperial city, the eldest prince stood in the corner tower of the imperial city, his palm gently caressing the city-guarding crossbow machine that was fixed to death, and his eyes followed the big crossbow arrow shining with black light, looking at the square outside the imperial city, and the four streets and alleys outside the square that had been controlled 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, stood behind the eldest prince and reported in a low voice.

It took a day and a half to manipulate the exchange of the forbidden army, and the eldest prince finally succeeded in transferring the more than 600 forbidden soldiers out of the imperial city, without alarming the four generals who had died at this time.

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

The school officer glanced up at the eldest prince and said resolutely: "The 1,200 people have been surrounded, and they can do it at any time." ”

At this time, there were already 1,200 of the forbidden army's rest stations, and there were already 1,200 subordinates loyal to the Great Prince, who infiltrated in the dark of night and divided and surrounded the 600 soldiers. As soon as the order is given, the butcher's knife will be raised to remove the last part of the unstable factor in the forbidden army.

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

The eldest prince personally led tens of thousands of troops to the west, and made great achievements on the side of Xihu, which is the most praised, and the virtue of letting the sergeant serve his life, is that he has always loved soldiers like a son. However...... Ci is not in charge of the army, especially in major matters involving the future of Qingguo, the heart of the eldest prince is like iron stone.

"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 eldest prince smiled self-deprecatingly, withdrew his gaze from the houses in the dark night, and looked back at the palace that was shrouded 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 city guarding crossbow on the wall of this palace, although it was powerful, 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 the small building of the Cold Palace Qiuyuan at the end does not live in any nobles, and it is basically a forgotten corner. The area surrounded by the walls of the Imperial City at King's Landing Square is a solemn complex of buildings, including the Taiji Hall, where the Emperor and his ministers discuss and decide all matters in the country.

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 own 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 ghosts who have one leg or one finger with the harem concubines basically can't escape the three kinds of people: guards, eunuchs, 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 already 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 led a thousand people to kill the imperial city, inexplicably through the defense of the forbidden army, and saw that the success was on the horizon...... But the queen, who was left in the harem, with a large number of guards and eunuchs, successfully blocked those rebellious soldiers from the palace gate.

In the end, this bold Wenchen was desperate to find that those women and children 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 what successfully stopped this rebellion, in addition to the queen's calmness and bravery, the unity of the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace was actually the most critical reason...... It was the high wall that the emperor used to keep women in captivity, and it was too strong!

............ However, where there is a wall, there must be a door, unless it is an underground tomb. In addition, because human beings have never liked to climb in and out through another window opened by God, no matter how forbidden buildings are, all kinds of doors will be opened.

And if there is a door, there will naturally be someone who opens the door, so the key to determining whether a place is easy to attack is not how thick the door is, whether the bolt inside is made of jīng steel, but whether you have mastered the person who opened the door.

** And many great men have said that the ultimate meaning of determining a qiē is man.

............ Fan Xian dared to attack the harem beyond everyone's expectations, naturally because he mastered the person who opened the door.

Two hundred "forbidden soldiers" followed the predetermined distance of Pingrìli, carrying out silent and nervous patrols, at the top of the high imperial wall, moving towards the west, and when they were about to reach the star, suddenly a cloud passed in the sky, the starlight faded, the city became dark, and the forbidden army walked down the stone stairs back and forth.

There was no light in the Taiji Hall at all, and occasionally you could see a few guards patrolling with lanterns, as well as the eunuchs in charge of the watch, walking by with their bodies on their backs.

The forbidden army gathered at the place closest to the harem under the imperial city, and then ...... Spread out like the wind!

Fan Xian looked at his subordinates indifferently, spreading out like countless falcons, and pounced on the remaining people and lights in the front palace, but in an instant, those lights came, and several Liao Liao guards were quietly stabbed to death.

He nodded, these two hundred people are a mixed army, one hundred of the five hundred black horsemen have been transferred, and the other hundred are the last assassin troops to be recruited from the sixth, acting in the dark, it is really ruthless and powerful.

Jing Ge, the deputy commander of the black cavalry who was following him, glanced at him, and 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 door 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 Lord said was really amazing, could it be that he went to Dadong Mountain once, and actually learned the legendary temple wall piercing skills?

Fan Xian ignored him, took off the heavy forbidden army armor on his body, revealed the tight-fitting black sè night clothes inside, and approached the square gate under the cover of the trees in the front palace.

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 and bright moon came out from the light clouds, and the moonlight of the silver sè shone on the mask of Jing Ge and the silver sè, 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 buzzing sound, but there was no one behind the wooden door, but then there was a slight sound of the door spring moving.

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 Emperor Xian, although these two hundred people were brave and loyal, but they were also tragically prepared 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 inner jiān who opens the door inside is a little difficult. Fan Xian closed his eyes, put his palm on the wooden door, and suddenly frowned, the true qi in his body was slightly lucky, and the gentle Tianyi true qi passed down the palm 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 glanced at the eunuch behind the door who looked at him with nervous and frightened eyes, nodded slightly, and said, "It's hard." ”

Grandpa Dai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, glanced at the surroundings of the black pressure with some trepidation, and did not dare to answer.

I'm afraid that the eldest princess didn't expect that in today's palace, there are still people who dare to risk being beheaded all over the house to be Fan Xian's inner jiān, and no one would have thought that this inner jiān is actually Dai Gonggong, who is now no longer powerful and just an ordinary poor old eunuch!

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, but not just to repay the favor, on the one hand, he wanted to help Fan Xian and regain the power that he missed so much after he lost, on the other hand, he had a deep relationship with Fan Xian over the years, if the prince really became the emperor, I was afraid that he wouldn't even think about the messenger of the laundry bureau, and just wait for death.

The most important thing is that Dai's father-in-law knows that 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 actually wondered a little, why did he open the door so smoothly, and why didn't the guards who stared around find themselves?

"My lord, the minions will lead the way for you......"

opened the two-person wide palace gate, and floated in the black-clothed people from time to time, these black-clothed people were extremely fast, and they all broke into the harem in a short time, and each chose the terrain to hide their figures. Grandpa Dai looked at this scene, his heart trembled, knowing that this was the subordinate that Lord Xiao Fan used to mess with the palace, just looking at it...... Doesn't it seem like there are too few people?

"Find a place to pretend to be dead. ”

Fan Xian whispered to Dai Gonggong, the decisive intent in his eyes gradually became stronger, his familiarity with the terrain of the palace was unimaginable to everyone, because from the first time he entered the Hanguang Palace to steal the key, he didn't know how many times he had calculated the retreat route in the palace.

Opportunities have always been reserved only for those who are prepared.

When Dai Gonggong heard this, he quickly disappeared into the night, listened to Lord Xiao Fan's words, and found an inconspicuous place to 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 eyes 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 critical of which are the two groups led by him and Jing Ge.

Fan Xian will take the assassin swordsmen from six places to break through the Hanguang Palace, and be sure to rescue Ning Cairen, Yi Guifei, and the three princes from the personal care of the Queen Mother before the palace people react!

This is the most important thing, the eldest prince dared to lead the forbidden army to rebel, precisely because he believed that Fan Xian could save his mother. Fan Xian naturally couldn't disappoint his brother who 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 moon, divided into countless lines, followed the arrows, and rushed 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 gate opened by Grandpa Dai were horrified in their eyes, but they couldn't make a sound, and the whole person's body was a little stiff, no wonder Grandpa Dai opened the palace door for Fan Xian, it was so smooth!

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

After a few sneers, the last two six-place swordsmen of Fan Xian's team pulled out their iron hammers and slashed cleanly at the throats of these guards, killing them and finally freeing them from this nightmarish love.

Then over the tree, over the flower, over the lake, over the pavilion, Hanguang Hall is close in front of you.

Fan Xian shook his hand, and a dark crossbow shè went out, nailing to death a night watch eunuch who found himself and opened his mouth to scream!

............ Fan Xian needs speed, he needs the feeling of assault and killing brought by this speed, and he needs this feeling to shock everyone in the palace, so he doesn't care about his body being exposed.

The medicine can only be used against a squad of guards, and it only ensures that the guards find themselves later. He had never had the luxury of breaking into the palace with two hundred men until he stood in front of the queen mother's bed, and still not a single guard could find him.

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

Hanguang Hall is less than thirty zhang away from this group of night killers who are like arrows from the string.

And there was a sudden exclamation from the distant place behind the side, and there were several sounds of swords and soldiers intersecting with gold and iron, Fan Xian did not look back, but he also heard that it was not the direction of Guangxin Palace, it should be the other two groups of subordinates who were preparing to go to the guard station in the dark.

His heart tightened, and a drop of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, knowing that his whereabouts had finally been discovered.

"Release, disperse!"

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, turned into countless curves, detoured the road, and swept towards the deserted palace through the shade of the trees.

And the swordsman of the Supervision Academy, 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 hidden 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's swordsman. The swordsman was still holding the fireworks, and he didn't dodge, and blood burst out. But after he snorted, he pulled out the iron hammer on the ground with his left hand, 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 or death of that loyal subordinate, he just stared at Hanguang Hall coldly, and found that there was movement inside, and couldn't help but feel cold, the reaction speed of the defense forces 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 shock force, Fan Xian's people flew, like a big bird with a black sè, with a rough and arrogant posture under the moon, drove 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 moon, he flew up again with the power of a beat, like a big bird spreading its wings, on 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.
