Chapter 19: Breaking into the Palace
Li Hao couldn't get out of Ziyang Pass, so after leaving the city, he rode to a hidden mountain pass.
There is a steep mountain road here, which was carved out by Jinyiwei for several years, and although it is impossible to move the army, it is still no problem for a few people to walk.
Through this mountain road, you can bypass Ziyang Pass and go directly to Shuozhou in the hinterland of Angola.
After entering the city, Li Haodang went to the station of Jinyiwei in the city, a restaurant with a thriving business.
There are exclusive marks and secret words in Jinyiwei to indicate identity, but Li Hao's identity is still only known to people who come out of Yixue, and others only know that those who have this secret language are the big names in Jinyiwei.
Li Hao found the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, bring me a room."
As he spoke, he took a silver ingot with a mark and put it on the table, and when the shopkeeper saw it, his face changed slightly, and he put the silver away.
Then he said, "Erniu, you come and take care of it, I will personally send your guests."
After Xiao Er came over, Zhangsu walked out of the counter and said to Li Hao, "Please come with me."
Li Hao nodded, followed his footsteps to the second floor, and when he entered, he saw a sign hanging at the door of Tianzi No. 1 room.
When I entered, I heard the shopkeeper say, "I don't know where the guest came from."
Li Hao replied: "From home, the earth is high, and the rivers and mountains are beautiful through the ages."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he bowed down and said, "See your lordship."
was only stopped by Li Hao: "Get up, I can't reveal my identity in Anguo, so I don't have to salute, just do my errand with peace of mind."
The shopkeeper got up and replied, "Yes, all the way to Andu, the branches of each prefecture and county have already prepared the horses according to your requirements, and they can be called at any time."
Li Hao said: "That's it, I'll rest at the inn tonight, you prepare dinner and tomorrow's dry food for me, nothing else, you can go down and get busy."
After getting Li Hao's order, the shopkeeper immediately went down to give orders.
After resting at the inn for one night and recovering his spirits, Li Hao began to hurry again.
All the way through Fengzhou, Liuzhou, Fuzhou, until Yizhou, the last capital before entering Andu, Li Hao met Cheng Shun, Hu Ke, and Sheng Dingzhi, who came to greet him.
They are the first batch of righteous students, and they are the only ones who have been trained by Li Hao himself, and now they are in charge of managing the Jinyi Guard on Anguo's side, so they have a better understanding of the situation.
Therefore, Li Hao asked: "What is the situation in the Anguo Palace, and what are the actions of the Empress Anguo and the eldest prince Li Shouji."
Cheng Shun replied: "The information obtained from the inside line, just a few days ago, Empress Anguo was angry by the second prince's letter, and now she has lived in the Invitation Moon Building to recuperate.
And the eldest prince Li Shouji has been in close contact with his father-in-law Wang Guogong recently, and I can't inquire about what they talked about, but it can be determined that it should be related to the queen."
Li Hao asked, "How are you sure and what is the reason?"
Cheng Shun explained, "Because since they discussed, Sha Zhongzhong's manpower in the palace has undergone a small adjustment, mainly near the Invitation Moon Tower.
It's just that the action is not big, if you hadn't asked us to arrange people in the Invitation Moon Tower before, I'm afraid we wouldn't have noticed."
Hearing this, Li Hao understood that the incident was already close at hand, so he said, "Okay, then let's rush to Andu, and I'll talk about this mission in detail on the way."
Regarding Li Hao's attempt to rescue Empress Shen Tuhui of Anguo, they actually had a guess in their hearts for a long time.
After all, many of Li Hao's arrangements are related to her, and it is not difficult to associate.
So even though they didn't understand the reason too much, based on their personality cult of Li Hao, they still chose to accept it, and made several different sets of plans in advance to deal with Li Hao's needs.
Therefore, after hearing that Li Hao was going to transport Shen Tuhui away, Hu said: "Empress Anguo's identity is sensitive, and if she disappears for no reason, I am afraid that Andu will be blocked immediately.
For this reason, we deliberately sought out people who had seen her, asked about her physical appearance, and made a mask of her human skin, almost eight
Ninety percent is similar, and I think that as long as we use it properly, we can hide it for a while, so that we can take her out of town.
As long as we leave Andu, we will be sure that we will be able to transport the people back to the country of Suguo smoothly."
Li Hao smiled warmly: "The preparation is very sufficient, and I have to praise you at this point, but I am not in a hurry to do the specific thing for the time being, doesn't it mean that the eldest prince Li Shouji is already doing things?"
Let's see what the eldest prince Li Shouji will do first, I think he will create a good opportunity for us.
In addition, the people who were arranged in the Invitation Moon Tower were all removed in advance, so as not to suffer unnecessary losses."
Originally, the three of them had no opinion on Li Hao's arrangement, and they did not lack patience left and right, but they just thought of the time problem that Chen Xi repeatedly raised in the flying pigeon.
Cheng Shun could only stand up again and said, "But in this way, how much time will it take? We're afraid ......."
Li Hao also understood their concerns, and replied, "You are afraid that I will delay my return because of this matter, right?
Don't worry, I don't think that Li Shouji can have much patience, and I promise you that I will go back as soon as the time comes, and I will leave the matter to you anyway, I am also relieved."
Cheng Shun, Hu Ke, and Sheng Dingzhi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Thank you Your Highness for your trust, we will definitely be stupid."
Li Hao smiled and said, "Okay, I naturally know your loyalty, and let you keep an eye on Zhu Yiwei's affairs, you must keep an eye on it, and report it to me immediately as soon as there is news of Zhu Yiwei's left envoy Ren Xin."
After entering Andu, Li Hao couldn't do anything because he had to wait for news, so he simply went to the street for a while.
Just feel the different customs here from the country, and see if you can meet the characters of the plot by the way.
Speaking of which, this Chuyuan's daughter Chuyue is still an old acquaintance of herself, after all, that face has been her sister-in-law for decades in the last world.
It's a pity that now because of the defeat on the front line, the Andu magnates are not immune to some influences, anyway, Li Hao hasn't seen any familiar faces for three days.
There has been movement in the palace, and Li Hao is ready to take the initiative to force Li Shouji to make a move.
You must know that Li Hao can only spend five or six days at his disposal, although it is said that Cheng Shun can play freely.
But it's all here, you can't really go home empty-handed, that's disappointing.
Back at the Jinyiwei station, Li Hao asked Cheng Shun and them to come and arranged: "You go and spread the news that Zhu Yiwei's left envoy Ren Xin has come to Andu, and it must reach the ears of the eldest prince or Wang Guogong."
Hearing this, Cheng Shun was surprised: "You already know the news that Ren Xin has come to Andu, and I am ready to tell you."
Li Hao originally said it casually, but he didn't expect to be wrong: "Ren Xinzhen is here, where did you get the news."
Cheng Shun replied: "We also have an internal response to Zhu Yiwei in Andu, he said that Ren Xin suddenly came to Zhu Yiwei today, and entered the secret file room for half an hour, and then left.
There are a lot of people I have seen, and some people have come forward to say hello, and I can confirm that it is Ren Xin."
The relationship between Ren Xin and Empress Shen Tuhui is impossible for the eldest prince not to know.
Now that she has appeared in Andu regardless of the task, the eldest prince is a thief, and it is impossible not to mutter.
But if you want him to accept his fate and let Li Zhenye be the prince, he can't do it, so he can only do it as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
So Li Hao said, "Yes, it seems that this matter will change soon, Cheng Shun, you now follow the previous plan and prepare to send people out of the city."
After arranging Cheng Shun, Li Hao himself took Hu Ke, Sheng Dingzhi and some elites to a mansion outside the palace wall.
After letting them wait here for answers, Li Hao immediately found a vacancy, entered the palace wall, and walked towards the Invitation Moon Tower according to the topographical map of the palace that he had seen before.
It's just that before the person got close, he had already seen a fire, obviously Li Shouji should not have any procrastination, and he said that he would do it.
Even setting fire was not enough, Li Hao also found several blind spots in the line of sight, and there were archers hidden
。
That's right, Li Hao didn't want to alarm anyone, but now it seems that he has to do it.
Immediately, while they were staring at the Invitation Moon Tower, Li Hao flew forward from behind and directly smashed their hearts and intestines with his thick palm.
After solving them, Li Hao used this blind spot to enter the second floor of the Invitation Moon Building.
Judging from the previous news, Shen Tuhui's dormitory was on the third floor, and Li Hao estimated that she should be there, so he looked for it.
As a result, I saw Shen Tu Huizheng and Ren Xin, pulling back and forth, but I didn't expect Ren Xin to run in front of him.
For this touching scene, Li Hao didn't bother, anyway, there is still time now.
Since Li Shouji was planting archers outside, instead of directly sending people in, he obviously had some scruples, and just wanted to end everything with a big fire.
Therefore, it is still safe until the last resort.
I saw that Ren Xin wanted to take Shen Tuhui away, but she threw her away, and said, "Hurry up, don't you listen to me the most, I order you to go, I order you to go to a new place, and live happily."
Seeing that Ren Xin hadn't moved yet, he continued, "You're such a stupid boy, you don't know anything except being an assassin, but there's one thing you have to remember.
You must not fall in love with a man easily in this life, but you must have a child of your own."
After speaking, he pushed Ren Xin out, Ren Xin didn't dare to resist her hard, for fear of hurting her, and as a result, she was really pushed by a stumble.
At this time, the roof beams were very fragile from the flames, and they fell down at the right time, so that Ren Xin shouted outside that he was not allowed to enter.
Li Hao saw that the situation was critical, and their pull was over, so he appeared and stood up.
"You're also a martial arts practitioner, and it's really ...... that you were taken care of by a person who doesn't know martial arts."
The already very sad atmosphere was suddenly broken by Li Hao, and it immediately attracted the attention of the two.
When Ren Xin saw that it was Li Hao, he said in surprise, "How could it be you, how could you be here."
Li Hao smiled and said, "Of course it's because of you, it's not easy for me to come here.
But now that this situation is in this situation, let's stop talking about the old days, and let's take people away first."
After speaking, Li Hao used his internal force to use a hollow palm, temporarily rushed away the flames blocking in front of him, and then rushed over.
Shen Tuhui saw that Li Hao and Ren Xin knew each other, and only thought that he was called by Ren Xin to save people, so he wanted to speak to stop him.
It's just that the speed at which she spoke was obviously not as fast as Li Hao's, and when she saw Li Hao wave her hand, Shen Tuhui fell over.
Li Hao stretched out his hand to pick it up, and escaped with the method just now, and came to Ren Xin.
After Ren Xin finished reading the whole thing, he immediately said, "How can you do this to the queen."
Li Hao asked rhetorically, "Then what should I do, is it like you, stupid and useless to persuade you, it is really a waste of time, and this building can't help but burn."
This is the easiest and most effective way for me, I have to live first, and then I will naturally have a lot of time to persuade slowly."
Ren Xin had no choice but to accept this set, and then he reached out to take Shen Tuhui.
Li Hao said, "Don't, with your light skills, if you want to take her away, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome, so I'll come."
But you really have something to do now, this time it was Li Shouji who did it under Li Falcon's acquiescence, if the queen doesn't die here, then the danger won't end."
Ren Xin was hit too hard today, his brain was already a mess, and he had no idea at all, so he asked directly, "What do you mean?"
Li Hao said, "What can I mean, is to ask if you can find someone to change clothes with the queen and create the illusion that she has died here.
In order to be realistic, it is best to get any characteristics on the queen's body, you can also get them, time is urgent."
Ren Xin said, "Yes, there is a waitress downstairs who blocked me from coming in and was knocked unconscious."
After speaking, he went downstairs directly and brought people up
came, and Li Hao's side ran away first in order to avoid suspicion.
However, Li Hao was not idle, he found a few pillars and tied some special thunder bombs to them.
After Ren Xin said that he had changed his clothes, Li Hao walked back.
"Let's go, this fire is getting bigger and bigger, I'm afraid this building won't last long."
Ren Xin agreed and handed the queen over to Li Hao.
Immediately, Li Hao took Ren Xin back to the place where he had killed the archers before, and then stopped.
Seeing this, Ren Xin asked, "Why did you stop, what is the situation here?"
Li Hao explained: "This is the archer in ambush by Li Shouji, I solved it when I just came over, and now I have to deal with the corpse."
Immediately, in Ren Xin's puzzled eyes, Li Hao handed Shen Tuhui to her, turned his head and put the corpse next to the Invitation Moon Tower, and fiddled with something beside it.
After solving this matter, Li Hao did not explain, but took over Shen Tuhui again and started the return journey again.
However, there was no need for Li Hao to explain, because after a while, Ren Xin heard a loud noise in the direction of Invite Yue Tower.
Ren Xin didn't need to ask, he knew that this should be related to what Li Hao had just fiddled with.
It's just that now it's a serious matter to leave the palace first, so I didn't rush to ask.
Because of this loud noise, most of the guards in the palace gathered over, so the two of them went very smoothly, and it didn't take long for them to return to the mansion where they were in the top of the day.
