As the night wore on, the husband knocked on the pole and walked through the long street with a lantern.

"It's dry, watch out for the candles! Beware of thieves...... Beware of Wang Sheng next door......"

The long streets were silent and dark, and occasionally a few barking dogs and babies were heard in a certain courtyard.

Tie tie ~~ tie tie ~~

The sound of the watch faded away, and figures in the darkness nearby rushed out of the streets and alleys, converging at a certain moment, towards the west of the imperial city.

The imperial city of Qingyang Gate.

On the castle tower, the guard was bound, blindfolded, mouth and nose, and in a whisper, his token was taken away by a group of people wearing armor, went down to the castle tower, and handed it to the armor guarding the city, who only recognized the token, and then glanced at a few comrades in front of him, "You are out of the city?" ”

"Out of town on errands."

The armor soldier raised his hand and waved, and let the others slowly open the city gate, the moment it was opened, the figures that had already lurked at the root of the wall rushed in, some people were strong in martial arts, and they drew a knife and wiped it on the neck of the armor soldier, and at the same time the corpse fell, more people poured in, knocked out the weapons of the armor guarding the city, covered their mouths and noses, and cut their throats with a knife.

"The city tower has been controlled by our guard brothers, wait for a hurry, rush into the palace, and rescue the Queen Mother and Your Majesty!" The man who opened the gate said in the darkness.

The group of people who entered the city gate ripped off the black clothes on the cover, and the inside was leather armor, and the leader was Pan Yu, who was the general who defended the city before, Yanjing was breached, and after the emperor died, he chose to endure it, and Qin Xiuwen, the secretary of the military department, has been trying to preserve the strength of the old ministers, in order to wait for such an opportunity today.

Although the secretary of the military department is unwilling to participate in today's affairs, he will not be reluctant, everyone has their own ambitions!

Pan Yu retracted his thoughts, looked around, beckoned to the hundreds of people who had already poured into the city gate, and whispered, "Keep up." ”

More than 700 people stuck to the palace wall of the imperial city as lightly as possible, passing through the shadows under the wall, and some of them were the palace guards at the beginning, and they were more familiar with the imperial palace.

"Go this way!"

Bypassing a loosely guarded path, few palace men and guards patrol here, after all, this is a dead end, but for some of the former guards who are familiar with the place, there is a low palace wall for them to climb over, and when they get there, there is a side road that leads to the back garden.

"Try not to alarm the guards here, these Xiliang soldiers are all warriors, be careful, try to hide if you can, and the thief will also steal some unknown spiritual positions from Yanguo Zongmiao, and then divide them into two groups of people, go all the way to Zongmiao, and smash all those spiritual positions."

The figures crouching in the darkness nodded one after another.

Then he crossed Pan Yu, took the blade in his mouth, put his hands together, and let his comrades step on the palms of their palms and jump onto the palace wall, and then reached out and grabbed the rest of the people.

The 700 people divided into two groups, one group stepped on the wall and rushed towards the depths of the back garden, and the other group descended the palace wall, submerged into the nearby shadows, and waited for a patrolling palace guard in the distance to pass, and then went to the location of the temple.

The group of 400 people who stepped on the palace wall and ran down, through the old cypress in the leafy courtyard, hid their figures, Pan Yu caught up from behind and gestured, "The front is the residence of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will take Her Majesty to rest in the Taihe Hall of Yongning Palace tonight." ”

In the whispered exchange, more than 400 people passed by in silence.

……

Yongning Palace, Taihe Palace.

The eunuch in charge of the lamp had already come to investigate twice, and saw that the Queen Mother was still sitting in front of the lamp, holding the little emperor and frowning slightly, but he didn't dare to have any displeasure, and cautiously reminded: "The Queen Mother...... The hour is getting late. ”

"You go down first, and I'll sit with Your Majesty for a while."

Jiang has always been the queen, and now she is the queen mother who has lost her husband, she has her own momentum, glanced at the eunuch obliquely, and scolded the other party away.

Picking up his dozing son, he walked around the lamplight, listening to the movement outside from time to time.

Outside the courtyard, there was only the sound of the rustling wind blowing the branches and leaves, she frowned, asked the nearest palace maid the time, and after receiving the answer, she felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps outside spread in this direction.

……

Under the eaves of the palace, the patrolling guards and the Xiliang soldiers went to the distance from the light and shadow, and one by one, the agile and lurking figures quickly walked through the eaves of the corridor and approached the main hall in front.

When a eunuch came out of the palace and walked away with two guards. Pan Yu raised his hand and beckoned to the subordinates behind him, and someone silently rolled and pounced on the shadows, and then took out a blow arrow and blew twice at the two guards guarding the palace gate.

In the light of the lantern, the two palace guards subconsciously raised their hands to cover their necks, and then their eyes rolled and they fainted and fell to the ground.

Pan Yu quickly stepped forward with more than a dozen people, looking at the bright lights inside, and one of his subordinates stepped forward to knock on the door of the palace.

Bangbang!!

……

Bangbang!!

The sound of footsteps was close to the door, and the knock on the door came softly, and the hesitation on Jiang's face was quickly replaced by joy, and she gestured to the palace maid over there with a look, asking her to go over and open the door.

Then, the door slammed open—

Standing outside the door was a Xiliang military captain, he pressed the knife, and looked at the palace maid and the Jiang family inside fiercely, "Queen Mother, General Dong invites you to come over!" ”

……

Almost at the same time.

The door in front of Pan Yu's eyes was opened, and when he saw the bottom of his eyes, his pupils instantly tightened.

A fat and hideous old man, sitting on a large chair, wiping the serrated knife on the ground, a face full of flesh slowly raised, the corners of his mouth between the thick beards grinned, revealing a cruel smile.

"Surprise, huh?"

The next moment.

The blade was pulled out from his hand and pushed over violently, and the momentum of the night wind carrying the sound of the knife came in an instant, and Pan Yu yelled: "Go!" The shattered round table had flown out of the door, and the moment he swung his knife and retreated, the serrated knife slashed out of the doorway, and in the sound of metal clashes, the blade in Pan Yu's hand broke and bounced, the lantern under the eaves was shattered, and the firelight splattered out.

A wave of Xiliang soldiers rushed out of various houses, and the light of torches lit up the night sky.

"Tonight, no one can leave!"

Dong Zhuo kicked away the broken knife on the ground, he stood at the door, lifted the serrated knife with one hand and slammed it on his shoulder, pointing to the figure forced out of the courtyard, "Entering the palace late at night, trying to misbehave, the soldiers will capture them, and those who resist will be killed!" ”

In the long line of torches, the soldiers surged in, arrows poured out wildly, followed by a forest of spears, frantically stabbing at the hundreds of besieging people.

Pan Yu threw away the broken knife in his hand, picked up a weapon from the ground that he didn't know who had dropped, and waved it vigorously, and between the chaotic figures and light and shadow, a figure rushed from under the eaves and jumped up!

The fat body is like a huge shadow falling into the sky.

"Uhhh

In the shaking vision, he saw the pictures in the courtyard, as if broken, flashing one by one under his eyes.

Someone ran towards him and shouted, "General Pan! ”

The sound of fighting resounded, and in the surrounding firelight, hundreds of people were falling. The light came in bursts, and someone ran towards him, and was stabbed to death by several spears.

"Sure enough, it's a ......"

Pan Yu crashed into an old tree and stopped in reverie.

……

Between the palace buildings in the southeast of the back garden, a group of latent figures are still moving forward, smelling the smell of incense and candles in the air, and the leader is Liu Changqing.

He was originally the chief of the palace guards and a close confidant of Xiao Taishi, but all this was based on the fact that Xiao Wenbi was the Taishi, and now that Xiao Wenbi is dead and has a stigma, it is naturally impossible for him to vote for Su Chen in the name of Xiao Wenbi.

In any case, he has to find a new way out.

Taking advantage of the chief of the palace guards, attracting foreign aid, rescuing the queen mother and the little emperor, and leaving Yanjing to go to other places to ascend the throne, he is from the minister of the dragon, no longer a small palace chief of guards.

When people go to high places, wealth always has to be a fight.

"General Pan's side is estimated to have succeeded, leaving three hundred people here, and the others sneaked into the temple and smashed all the tablets that person erected!"

Ordered to go down, Liu Changqing pulled out his long sword, and then jumped into an old pine in front of him, climbed the branch and looked at the temple gate, but found that there were no soldiers stationed here.

After confirming this, he lowered again, whistled and called for someone, and then took the lead in entering the temple with a long sword.

In the temple, the lights are bright, and the rows of long lights are lit up by countless lights swaying slightly in the wind, and in the light, the picture in front of them comes into view.

A statue stands on the tribute table, constantly extending upward, like a wall, densely arranged.

On the side of the tribute table, a Taoist priest who could not tell his age was chanting, and after reading a page, he reached out to turn it, as if he didn't care about the people who came in.

"Over there...... And an alcoholic! ”

Liu Changqing followed the direction pointed by one of his subordinates, and under a row of Changming lampposts, an old man in a white robe and a green shirt was lying on the ground, and there was a pot of wine next to him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the blessed Lord has come to the wrong place."

Over there, the Taoist priest who was chanting the scriptures stopped, slowly got up, looked over there, and made a gesture, "I don't want to be honored here, let's go quickly!" ”
