"How's the preparation going?" Wei Qingyuan asked.

Yelu Chongguang said in a low voice: "All subordinates have entered the North Courtyard, and as soon as the matter of the Gunpowder Workshop is over, all subordinates can enter the Imperial City from the west wall." ”

"The time must be set at the time when the hundred officials go to the court, the west wall is not far from the court, our people can quickly enter the court and control the hundred officials of the Son of Heaven, but there is one point, the Praetorian Guard is also in the imperial city, these people ......"

"Don't worry, when the time comes, I will transfer them away, the Praetorian Guard is only four or five hundred people, as long as we occupy the court before them, the Praetorian Guard will be vulnerable to us."

"Okay, as long as we occupy the court and hold the emperor hostage, we will succeed." Wei Qingyuan's expression was solemn, and his eyes flashed with a glow like fireflies.

"When you go back, you have to check the tunnel and the gunpowder shop again, and you must ensure that the palace, the tunnel, and the gunpowder shop are connected, and the gunpowder in the gunpowder workshop is also powerful enough."

"Don't worry, even the walls and doors of the gunpowder workshop were specially designed by me, as long as there is a little fire, the walls of the imperial city will be blown down in an instant, and the explosion will not spread too far, and our people can rush in as soon as possible after the explosion." Speaking of this, Wei Qingyuan seemed a little excited, and she seemed to be quite smug about her design.

"Okay, after the matter is completed, if you want to get an official position in Daliao, I won't treat you badly."

"The king is polite, but what do I want, don't you understand, the king?"

"I understand, after the matter is completed, I will allow you to return to Liaodong and take over the government affairs of Liaodong, and after I go south to destroy the Song Dynasty, I will allow you to establish a country in Liaodong and become a friend of my Great Liao."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You just live in the house these days, and don't go out until the plan is executed."

……

Lin Xi hurried back, met Guanyin at the gate of the city, and hurriedly asked, "Guanyin!" What do you think? No suspicious people have snuck into the city. ”

"Nothing else, it's just that Yelu Sogo just entered the city, and I can't check his vehicle."

"Even if he was the one who brought the private soldiers into the city, you wouldn't be able to check anything, he had time to disguise everyone before entering the city. I asked you to check just in case, and now it seems that the culprit of the whole thing should be Yelu Sogo. ”

"So what are we going to do?"

"Let's go back to the Little Princess's Mansion first, you and we will go back first, I still have something to ask you."

Back at the princess's mansion, Yanshou took out a dusty map from the back hall, wiped it casually, and unfolded it in front of the three of them.

"Just take a look, it's the only map my family can find."

Lin Xi's finger drew a circle along the walls of the imperial city on the map, and then asked Guanyin: "Guanyin, can you tell me about the deployment of troops in the city?" ”

Guanyin pointed to the south gate of the imperial city: "This is the only gate of the imperial city, less than two miles north of the gate is the inner city, the imperial city gate is garrisoned by three hundred janissaline guards, and there are also three hundred troops patrolling from the imperial city to the inner city." Ouchi had two gates, the west gate and the north gate, and there was no garrison, only a few soldiers who were in charge of opening and closing the gates. ”

"In other words, there are only six hundred Praetorian Guards in the entire Imperial City?"

"That's right, but when the court is in the last dynasty, there will be two hundred Praetorian guards entering the Ouchi to garrison the Wende Hall. In addition, there were two thousand forbidden troops outside the imperial city, and there were no other armies in these cities. ”

"If you were the one who commanded those thousands of private soldiers, where would you go from except the South Gate?"

"There's a back door behind the Imperial City, but it's not big...... Eh, will it ......" Guanyin's eyes flashed at first, and then he shook his head, obviously thinking of something.

"What do you think?"

"A few months ago, a heavy rain and earthquake that lasted for several days shook down a section of the western wall of the Imperial City, and now the wall is being rebuilt in a hurry." Kannon pointed to the western side of the castle wall, which was very close to Ouchi.

"Could it be that they will collapse the walls and rush in through the collapse of the walls?"

Guanyin shook his head in disbelief, "That section of the city wall is indeed very close to Ouchi, but ...... Although the walls were newly built, it was impossible to tear them down with manpower......

"Harm, I just think about it. But what else is there to do to make Yelu Sogo enter the Ouchi quickly? ”

"Yelu Chongguang is the head of the military attachés, and the Praetorian Guards will naturally be at his disposal, and it is very likely that he will use the excuse to transfer the Praetorian Guards guarding the south gate, so that they can quickly enter the raid Ouchi from the south gate."

"Makes sense...... Guanyin, you go to find the second uncle of the slanted Zhen, and then borrow his government soldiers, you take the government soldiers to garrison the south gate, and no one's orders can leave! ”

"What about you?"

"I'm going to the North Courtyard to see what Yelu Sogo is doing."

Late at night, Lin Xi and Yanshou were dressed in black and found Tang Yun in an alley near the North Courtyard.

"Tang Yun, what's going on here in the North Courtyard?"

"Shhhh Tang Yun pointed to the palace of the North Courtyard, the palace seemed to be very bright with torches, and listened carefully to what someone was commanding.

"It's been three days, and it's been like this every night in the palace."

"I'll go take a look."

The two hurriedly grabbed Lin Xi: "Hey, you're not afraid of being discovered." ”

"Don't worry, I'm doing well, no problem."

At night, there were not many palace guards, so Lin Xi jumped on the roof of the main hall and followed the courtyard wall to the backyard.

Unlike the front yard, there are many guards in the backyard, and there are many workers, all of whom carry large boxes into the second hall, and the voice of the conductor just heard is that the guards are directing the workers to carry these boxes.

Lin Xi quietly jumped outside the second hall, poked through the window paper and looked inside, and found that there was a secret passage leading to the underground in the second hall, and the workers all moved the big boxes in their hands into the tunnel.

Outside the city, Tang Yun asked Lin Xi, who had just come out of it: "How is it, have you found anything?" ”

"There are a lot of workers in the backyard, and they have moved boxes one by one to a tunnel, and it is not clear where the tunnel leads."

"Authentic? Could it be that they want to raid from the tunnels? Yanshou asked.

"It's not impossible, tomorrow we'll go check the market here, especially the one close to the city wall."

"Do you want to inform my sister and ask her to help too."

She ...... Anyway, this kind of thing can't be neglected, so let's tell her. ”
