Walking out of Jixian Zhai, Di Xian looked at the moon hanging high in the night sky, and was slightly relieved for a while. One of the guards stepped forward and asked, "My lord, are you going back to your house tonight, or are you resting here?" ”

"Let's make do next door." Di Xian replied lightly: "Over there in the imperial study, how is the arrangement?" ”

The guard bowed and replied, "As you commanded, everything has been arranged." A team of elite Xuanjia Army, a total of fifty people, all changed into the attire of the chamberlain, and set up more than a dozen light and dark sentry posts near the imperial study to monitor in turn. In addition, the two brothers pretending to be the crown prince and Murong Xue are also in place. ”

Di Xian nodded when he heard this, and asked again: "The people who are guarding outside the imperial study, including those generals who are in charge of leading the team, do they know that they are pretending?" ”

"I don't know at all." The guard shook his head firmly: "We will arrange them in first, and only after everything is ready, will we let a new batch of soldiers and horses come to change the guard." In addition, I also issued a strict order to those who pretended to be the crown prince not to set foot in the imperial study unless they were actually attacked by an assassin. ”

"What about the people who serve them every day?"

"It's all arranged, and the servants who have stayed in the palace outside the city for a long time are used." The guard introduced: "They are only responsible for serving the periphery, and all the daily routines are all in accordance with the usual rhythm of the prince, and there is no flaw in it." ”

Di Xian was slightly satisfied, and continued to ask, "How is Ziwei Palace over there?" ”

The guard replied seriously: "The vigilance of Ziwei Palace is even tighter than before. General Xie Bao sent an additional 1,000 ironclad troops, and added a line of defense, surrounding the entire palace like an iron barrel, impermeable. When we transferred the prince in the evening, we were in the stage of the ironclad army's defense, there was a lot of commotion outside, and the sky was a little dark, and no one would notice it. ”

"How is the defense here in Jixian Zhai, have you checked them all?" Di Xian looked around and asked.

"It's even more fine here." The guards also subconsciously looked around, and then responded: "In addition to the fifteen pro-soldier masters sent by General Xie Bao, there are also our own twenty brothers. Combat power does not dare to say that one is a hundred, and one should not be a problem. Everyone is currently scattered at various commanding heights, and the slightest bit of wind and grass can't escape our eyes. When the enemy is coming, kill it immediately! Unless they had the courage to gather forces and directly storm the Imperial City, ordinary assassins, even if there were dozens of them, would not be afraid of him! ”

Di Xian frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I'm most afraid that you will think so!" Don't take it lightly at any time! Who is the other party? It's the famous Northern Ya Reverse Scale Division, you use ordinary assassins to describe them, defeated before they fight! ”

The guard sneered and said, "The great lesson of the lord is that it is indeed a bit of a shame to be lowly in his position. Or...... Shall I send in more men? ”

Di Xian pondered for a moment and denied: "No." Thirty-five people is already the upper limit, and if there are more, it will be easier to expose the target. I don't need to add more manpower, as long as you all give me some care. By the way, is that place the guard of Simon? As he spoke, he asked, pointing into the distance.

The guard looked in the direction he pointed, and in the dark night, a tall three-story arrow tower stood out as it stood out, and the wind lamp on the roof of the building was swaying gently. He nodded: "Yes, it is the Ximen Guardhouse, and there is a cavalry battalion stationed in it for a long time, with a strength of about three hundred. According to the regulations, they sent a cavalry team of 50 men every two hours to patrol along the royal road on the western wall of the palace. ”

Di Xian stared at Wei Suo for a while, and then asked, "Wei Suo is outside the palace wall, right?" Is it far from here? ”

"I don't think it's too far away." The guard pondered: "Bypassing the two rows of servants' dormitories in front, there is a small gate of the palace wall, and when you go out, you will be the Ximen guardhouse." ”

Di Xian nodded thoughtfully, and then ordered: "You arrange two other brothers to guard that small door for me, I may use it at a critical moment." ”

"Obey the order, and do it immediately."

The guard agreed, turned and galloped away, Di Xian stood in place, stretched a long lazy waist, and was about to turn around and go back to his room to rest, when suddenly, a bright light in the distance between the houses attracted his attention.

That bright light, the appearance is very unusual.

Because not long ago, he was talking to the head of the guard and looking around. At the time, neither of them noticed anything unusual in that direction.

Judging from the location, the place where the bright light appears seems to be Ziwei Palace?

Di Xian's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he hurriedly observed intently, and the next moment, he shook uncontrollably: My God, that's firelight!

It's just that in just a few breaths, the light that was originally slightly shaking suddenly turned into a sky-high fire, mixed with many flickering and dazzling points of light.

Immediately after, a series of thunderous explosions reached Di Xian's ears.

Before he could fully react, the boiling screams and shouts had already resounded through most of the palace, as if he was cheering for the ferocious fire, which disturbed Di Xian and couldn't help but be upset.

Li Bing, Murong Xue, and Rui Ji all ran out of Jixian Zhai in a panic at this time, looking at the fire that almost lit up the entire night sky, and they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths for a long time.

Murong Xue was stunned and asked, "Yes...... Is it Ziwei Palace? Why did such a fire suddenly ignite? ”

"Go back! Go back! Di Xian suddenly came to his senses, and yelled in a hurry: "You guys go into the house immediately, don't show up!" ”

-

It was nearly dawn that the fire in Ziwei Palace was gradually extinguished.

Looking at the huge palace that had burned through the roof, the ruins of the ruins with smoke everywhere, and a twisted corpse that had been reduced to charcoal, Di Xian felt that his stomach was twitching, and he could vomit at any moment.

Xie Bao also rushed to the palace at this time, he forcibly endured the smell of burnt and choking, and asked in a deep voice, "Xiao Di, what is going on?" Why is it so exaggerated?! Now Luoyi City is being disturbed, if it weren't for the quick reaction of the leopard master and my timely dispatch of the army to the streets to impose martial law and suppression, the common people would still think that the eastern capital was fighting. ”

Di Xian shook his head helplessly: "Brother Leopard, if you ask me what's going on, I want to ask too." Di was somewhere else at the time, you know. Last night, what happened in this Ziwei Palace, I am like you now, I have no clue at all. ”

Xie Bao cursed in a low voice, turned his head and roared angrily: "What about Wei Kaipeng? Where did that bastard die? ”

"Qi Xie Shuai, General Wei is dead." The soldiers of the Xuanjia Army pointed to a black corpse on the ground in horror: "He...... Just lie here. ”

Xie Bao couldn't help but be shocked. To his surprise, even Wei Kaipeng, the supreme commander who guarded Ziwei Palace last night, died tragically on the spot, which shows how terrible the explosion and fire were at that time.

Di Xian was stunned for a while, and suddenly sighed: "Fortunately, what a blessing!" Thanks to the fact that we made adjustments one step ahead, otherwise ......"

Xie Bao nodded again and again when he heard this. If it weren't for Di Xian's quick reaction and the transfer of Li Bing before evening, the trouble would be too great now. If the prince really has three long and two short in his Xie Bao's hands, it would be strange if his godfather Xie Guang didn't tear him up with his own hands.

"Xiao Di, you are still smart!" Xie Bao said with sincere gratitude: "Thanks to Li Bing for not ......"

Di Xian hurriedly interrupted him: "Brother Leopard, this is not the place to speak, please be cautious!" The Beiya Reverse Scale Division is more powerful than you and I imagined, and we still have to make another plan. ”

-

"Early in the morning, where are you going?" Li Jiangyao leaned back in his chair and asked lazily.

"You slept like a dead pig last night, didn't you hear anything outside?" Lian Ji said worriedly while cleaning up: "Standing on the roof, you can see that the sky-high fire in the palace has burned all night!" I'm worried about my sister right now, so I have to go to the palace right away. ”

Renhime wore a navy blue samurai suit, light boots on her feet, and a dart bag pinned to her waist in an inky silk silk ribbon, on which were inserted four throwing knives with blue light.

These things were all brought back from outside yesterday, so Li Jiangyao was not surprised. He got up and raised his hand to help Lian Ji tighten the silk and asked, "You went to the palace, what should I do?" ”

Lian Ji lost her former coquettish appearance, her face was full of eagerness, and she said as she walked out, "You wait patiently here. Four or five days at the latest, two or three days at the earliest, I will return here with my sister and brother-in-law, and then we will leave the Eastern Capital together. ”

"Be careful in everything!" Li Jiangyao instructed.

Lian Ji waved her hand impatiently, didn't go to the main entrance, and climbed out directly along the backyard wall.

Li Jiangyao listened carefully to her distant voice, waited for a few more moments, and then stepped up, like a wild cat, lightly climbed onto the wall, and dodged away.

"Guys, I'm here!" As soon as he jumped into Wang Hai's courtyard, Li Jiangyao walked straight to the main hall and met with the people of the Reverse Scale Division who had been waiting here for a long time.

Before everyone could say hello, Li Jiangyao praised: "You guys are really amazing!" Last night's movement shocked the whole city! ”

Wang Hai pointed at Qian Honglie and said with a smile: "It's all done by the brothers of the three branches, and Honglie is the first to do it." ”

The three branches held the flag so that Qian Honglie hurriedly humbled himself: "Lord Li has won the award, this is what a humble job should do, it is nothing." ”

"Are there any casualties?" Li Jiangyao asked him.

Qian Honglie replied in a calm tone: "If you want to make an earth-shattering momentum, not only do you need to secretly transfer a large number of firearms into the palace, but you must also leave the corresponding manpower to trigger the mechanism. A total of seven brothers volunteered to die with the enemy. ”

Li Jiangyao was stunned when he heard this: "Seven people, none of them came out alive?" ”

Qiao Shengchun, who was sitting next to him, said: "My lord, it is common for us to go against the secret agents of the Scale Division, serve the emperor's kindness, and die for the country, and everyone has such an awareness." Those brothers did not intend to live when they received the command. ”

Li Jiangyao is not a chick of the first battlefield, on the contrary, he is a brave general who crawled out of the pile of dead people, and he has also put life and death out of the way. For soldiers, death is often like a fateful choice: to be able to complete the task alive is of course the first choice; I really can't live, and I can face death calmly.

However, the Beiya Reverse Scale Division seems to regard "death" as a conventional means, calm and cold, without any waves. Sometimes, their actions can even feel like they are deliberately trying to die.

Horror, Li Jiangyao secretly sighed in his heart, these people are really terrifying.
