The next morning, the weather seemed to be unusually cold, and the state assassin Shi Hu Ze led his generals to the Xingyuan Hall early to wait for the discussion, they all wore prepared black leather robes today, and furry scarves around their necks, all bulging, and wearing armor in their robes, and they looked bulky when they walked.

Originally, Li Yuan set the next day to discuss the army, but at this time, not to mention Li Yuan and Li Hongji, the king of Yan, they couldn't even see a general of the forbidden army, Hu Ze and his subordinates gathered in the hall and were puzzled, and hurriedly ordered people to look for it in the line, and found that the soldiers who took over the defense here yesterday also walked inexplicably clean.

Hu Ze's face became extremely dark, and he sat down in the main seat of the hall, and asked angrily, "Where is Li Yuan? What about Li Hongji? Why haven't you even seen a single forbidden army?"

I saw the adjutant general panting and said, "Hu Tingshi, the last general has gone to their house, no one is there, he should be gone."

Hu Ze frowned and said, "How is it possible? Last night, I obviously received a secret report, Li Yuan and Li Hongji were both sleeping in the house, how could they run away without a trace when they were not in the morning? What's more, this is nothing more than a north-south passage from the state city, and there are 10,000 of our brothers guarding the north gate, but they haven't received any news, could it be that they have already led their army out of the city from the south gate to defend against the enemy?"

"This ......," the lieutenant said, scratching his head, "I'll take a look at it later."

Hu Ze stood up and said, "I'll go and see for myself."

After saying that, he left his seat and walked to the courtyard of Li Yuan's residence at the back, and all the generals were also busy following him and rushing to the courtyard together. Standing under Li Yuan's verandah, Hu Ze held his mind and shouted, "Generalissimo, are you in the house?"

There was no answer in the house, and Hu Ze called several times but there was no response, so he pushed open the door and entered the house. The quilt on the bed was neatly folded, and the person was gone.

Hu Ze quickly stepped forward and reached into the quilt, pulled out his hand and said in a deep voice, "The futon is cold, it doesn't look like I've slept. What's going on?"

No one could give Hu Ze an answer, Hu Ze quickly led someone to the residence of Li Hongji, the king of Yan, to look around, the bedding on Li Hongji's side of the bed was messy, but the quilt was still cold, Hu Ze sat on the edge of the bed in annoyance, patted his thighs and gritted his teeth and said, "Li Yuan is gone, Li Hongji is also gone, what's going on?" Did they really run away in the middle of the night? Alas! They really found something, shouldn't they......

Hu Ze blinked his eyes, his face was a little pale, and he glanced at the generals around him, and found that they were also looking at him nervously, their eyes dodging, and they were thinking in their hearts, but they roughly understood in their hearts that Hu Tingshi's plan was in vain.

"Damn, we've been calculated! They must have found something when they went out in the middle of the night! If the 200,000 forbidden troops all leave the city, then we will not only fall short, but I am afraid that we will have to lose 10,000 brothers here in vain." Hu stomped his feet and paced back and forth.

The adjutant general said in a deep voice: "Hu Tingshi, if the 200,000 army has the intention of leaving the city, how loud must it be? The death camp we left in the south of the city has already started, and it should have been blazing at this time. But now the city is obviously calm! In short, the last general thinks that we should go and see for ourselves, even if they can really go out of the city without knowing it, it doesn't matter, let's settle in the south gate and close the city first, and then talk about ......"....

"That's all I can do." Hu Ze's eyes lit up, he gritted his teeth, and then bowed to the sky and said, "Hey, I hope that Emperor Rui will have a spirit in the sky and protect our loyal ministers!" You must first remember that if Li Yuan and Li Hongji really go out of the city with a large army, we will have to defend the Hezhou City Pass, and we can only cooperate with the Zhennan army of the old thief of Song Qiqiu when we have no choice but to do so."

All the generals bowed their hands and said yes, and then the deputy general said in a deep voice: "What the assassin said is reasonable, but the last general still concluded that the army did not leave the city, otherwise the south of the city could be so calm at this moment? If the death camp is found, Li Yuan and Li Hongji should come to the assassin at night to question them, and there is no movement at the moment, should this be the case."

Hu Ze sighed and said, "I hope so! If Li Yuan and Li Hongji are still in the city for a while, then Emperor Rui will appear. Everyone always pay attention to their words and expressions, see if there is anything unusual, if nothing happens, act according to the original plan, and before the time comes, do not reveal the intention of doing it.

But we need to call some brothers just in case, we should have done our business this morning, but the forbidden army did not tell us a word and disappeared, even if they did not leave the city, they should have discovered something wrong, and we must have taken ......precautions."

Some generals were stunned and said, "Assassin Shi, they have an army of 200,000, even if we bring 10,000 brothers, what will it do if we really want to fight?"

Hu Ze spat fiercely and said, "If the time comes, let the death camp move, and we will die with them!" With our 10,000 cheap lives, in exchange for him as the eldest son of the emperor, a first-ranking general, plus 200,000 forbidden troops, this pseudo-Tang spirit will be exhausted!"

The generals nodded in response, and Hu Ze led everyone back to the hall, did not stop for a moment, but immediately ordered the soldiers stationed at the north gate, and the 10,000 soldiers immediately prepared to march towards the south of the city in full gear.

At that time, Hu Ze led his 10,000 soldiers to the south of the city, and found that the tents of the forbidden army were still in place, and the soldiers were still bustling around as yesterday, and he couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart, and what made Hu Ze even more pleasantly surprised was that he saw Li Yuan and Li Hongji, the king of Yan, standing on the south city wall from a distance.

Hu Ze led the generals to hurriedly climb the city wall, and after exchanging pleasantries, they didn't see anything unnatural about Li Yuan and Li Hongji's demeanor and words.

Hu Ze especially observed Li Yuan, it is rumored that the world's famous general is very thoughtful, if something really happened last night, he will definitely mention a few words intentionally or unintentionally, as a result, Li Yuan talked and laughed and was full of counterinsurgency priorities, and explained that due to the rebel movement last night, the war was urgent, and he had no choice but to arrive in the south of the city Yunyun, which made Hu Ze can't help but breathe a little relieved.

Suddenly, there was a restlessness under the city, and the south gate was opened, and the soldiers and horses began to go out of the city from the south gate and entered the valley in front, which was the first vanguard army ordered by Li Yuan, and Li Hongji also said to Hu Ze that the vanguard army's combat mission was matter-of-fact.

When he witnessed the soldiers and horses constantly whistling past the vicinity of the city gate, Hu Ze subconsciously glanced at the sixteen warehouses, where there were still many arrow towers, and now there were no less than 5,000 forbidden troops who were heavily guarded, and no one was allowed to enter, and secretly laughed in his heart Li Yuan and Li Hongji were really stupid, and he wished that there were more forbidden troops around the treasury, the better......
