The palace was heavily guarded, with 8,000 Janissaries guarding the eighteen entrances inside and outside the palace, each of which was patrolled by three shifts of men.

These soldiers are all warriors who are thousands of choices, among which the guards with swords are basically second-rate masters or above, and the guards with grades are even more first-class.

Under such a guard, even if he is a top master, if he wants to assassinate the emperor without knowing it, it will be in vain.

This is also the reason why Xiao Fei wanted to infiltrate the palace that day, and he had to rely on the help of the palace maids, otherwise he couldn't find the dormitory in the palace, not to mention, even the guards on patrol were not easy to mess with.

Ye Feng is the number one assassin in the world, he is good at ninjutsu in the ninja country, and there is no problem in using hidden techniques to infiltrate the palace, but the key is to find the emperor's bedroom.

The inner courtyard of the palace is too big, the harem is full of palaces, and the road is tortuous and difficult to find, and it is impossible to start without the map inside.

Now Ye Feng took the map given by Cao Zhubing, staggered the defense of those guards, and successfully infiltrated the harem, but if he wanted to get close to the emperor's dormitory here, he had to respond.

You must know that even at this time, those four first-class personal guards are still guarding the Son of Heaven, although their martial arts can't be compared with Ye Feng, but as long as they can hold Ye Feng for a while, then a large number of Praetorian Guards will arrive, and then Ye Feng will be unable to fly.

So the opportunity is only for a moment, and this key point is very important.

According to Cao Zhubing's prompt, Ye Feng sneaked into the residence of a five-grade steward eunuch, and when he tapped the door according to the code, a eunuch with a tall and beautiful face opened the door and beckoned Ye Feng to walk in.

For Cao Zhubing, although Ye Feng didn't have all the trust, he could only gamble, otherwise his entire plan would be in vain.

After entering the house, the eunuch whispered, "I am deeply gracious to your lordship, and I will help you to accomplish this matter this time." But tonight the emperor resides in the Tianhe Palace, where there are eight first-class guards all year round, and you will have to check it if you enter. Every night on the second watch, the emperor will have a supper, so I will make a little noise to attract the guards, and you remember to follow the eunuchs who lead the team to blend in and wait for the opportunity to move. ”

The plan of the eunuch in charge was very detailed, Ye Feng remembered them all, and then changed into the service of the little eunuch and stayed outside the imperial dining room.

On the second watch, the Son of Heaven had just completed the review of the chapter, and at this moment he was discussing the problem of Mobei with Cai Jinyan, Mu Moran's sudden attack was related to Liu Sheng's sword, and it also implicated the ninja country, if the court investigated, Mu Moran would inevitably raise troops, if the court killed these ninjas and tolerated the lawlessness of the king of Mobei, then they would be even more unscrupulous, and even Cai Qianzhou and these people would not be able to control it at that time.

If the Son of Heaven is weak, the princes will replace him, which is an eternal truth.

Cai Jinyan, as a national teacher, his opinion is still very clear, Mu Moran must stabilize at this moment, because Cai Qianzhou is simply in a wait-and-see state, and if the imperial city wants to be kept, the foundation is more than 10,000 defenders and Song Yunlong's elite soldiers, although these forces cannot be an enemy in the field and the Mobei army, but in the siege, the imperial city is the strongest city in the world, the city is rich in grain and grass, and the Mobei army comes across thousands of miles, and it will inevitably not be able to hold it for a long time.

The Son of Heaven still has concerns, he is not only worried about Cai Qianzhou's attitude, but also the thoughts of the three city lords around the imperial city, although the three of them together are less than 10,000 defenders, and the city is relatively simple, and only the three cities in the border pass in the entire Zhongzhou can be called impregnable, among which Fengxiang City is one of them.

If these city lords see that their masters are cowardly, they will come to take advantage of the fire to rob, and then the situation will be even more dangerous, this is the heart of the world.

At this time, Cai Jinyan mentioned Huang Chongsheng, and even mentioned that he has now stabilized the situation in Fengxiang City, as long as Song Yunlong dies, he will be able to completely control this border city, and when the time comes, with Fengxiang City as a moat, the imperial city will have confidence, and those wall grasses can also be stabilized.

So the key now is to fully support Huang Chongsheng and make him a banner of the empire to attract more followers. However, once this flag is too large, it is also dangerous for the empire, and how to balance it becomes the key.

This discussion is a few hours, and at this moment, the eunuchs of the inner palace ask for instructions, whether they need to pass the meal.

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he immediately stopped discussing and said to Cai Jinyan: "It's just right, I'm also hungry, let's eat something and discuss it again, we must be cautious at this time." ”

Cai Jinyan naturally got up to thank him, and then waited for the meal.

Ye Feng has been waiting outside the corridor for a long time, the procedure for passing the meal here is extremely complicated, the imperial dining room is three miles away from the Tianhe Palace, during which a total of thirty-seven eunuchs are responsible for passing the meal, and Ye Feng is arranged in the last course.

However, the last one needs to be checked by the guards one by one to avoid the assassins from getting involved, which also restricts this one to be an acquaintance who has been on an errand in the palace for more than a year.

Ye Feng was naturally not an acquaintance, so this steward eunuch had to put some thought into it.

From the time the food was served to the completion of a stick of incense, and when it was delivered to Ye Feng, the guards had already begun to check, and at this time, the steward eunuch scolded loudly: "Who was it just now?"

The guard in charge of the inspection stopped, and then the guard on the left stepped forward to inspect while the other continued to check.

This is the rule of the palace, no matter what happens, the main gate must be guarded to prevent foreign assassins from breaking in.

Of course, the eunuch in charge of this link also thought of it, and as the inspection continued, a small eunuch bypassed the guards and ran towards the back of the dormitory.

The guard was startled and immediately chased after him, although there were still guards at the back of the palace, but there was a small window next to it, and if this unknown eunuch was allowed to break in, he, the first-class guard, would be doomed.

The guards chased after such a little eunuch only in the blink of an eye, but this kung fu sight left Ye Feng, which was enough for Ye Feng to take the opportunity to sneak into the Tianhe Palace.

In the main hall, the Son of Heaven was having dinner with Cai Jinyan, and some details of the court situation were still being discussed during the banquet, and Ye Feng was only seven steps away from them with a plate.

Ye Feng's identity is to pass the food to the eunuch, and only the eunuchs and palace maids of the inner palace can do it before delivering the food to the emperor's table.

But seven steps is enough for Ye Feng, he looks around the environment, and has already simulated the path of advance and retreat in his heart, he only needs a blink of an eye to kill the emperor and Cai Jinyan, and then he can walk away, and after he escapes from the Tianhe Palace, he can successfully get out of the eyes of the guards according to the map, plus ninjutsu, he will be unconscious.

Everything was perfect, the moment Ye Feng handed over the dish to the palace maid, he had already stepped out, but before he could act, a notice came from outside: "Lin Deqing, the prince of the two factories, asks to see!"

The Son of Heaven and Cai Jinyan both stopped the chopsticks in their hands, the spy agency of the two factories and factories in charge of the dynasty, when they overthrew Cao Zhubing, although they expressed their submission, but then they still dominated the affairs of the two factories.

It can be said that this Gonggong Lin is a headache for the Son of Heaven at present, but now the situation outside is unknown, and it is not time to touch him.

But he didn't expect that tonight, this Gonggong Lin, who never walked out of the factory guard hall, came to the Tianhe Hall and wanted to meet the Son of Heaven.
