The night is like ink, and there is no moon or stars.

I don't know when the snowflakes began to fall silently downward in the sky, and soon the entire Jingyang City was shrouded in a fog.

A bitter cold wind blew, blowing several snowflakes onto Zheng Yong's shriveled old face who was standing under an eaves.

He raised his hand and casually wiped a handful of the melted snow that was flowing down his cheeks, and a cruel smile crossed his lips.

Hehe, it's snowing, God help me!

With the addition of this wind and snow, the ears and eyesight of those Ouchi guards will inevitably be greatly affected, which is just convenient for tonight's assassination operation.

While thinking proudly, his small and sometimes glittering eyes were still staring at the tall Miyagi not far ahead.

At this time, the man standing behind him suddenly spoke in a low voice: "In order to wait for this lieutenant surnamed Jin to take the turn, we have wasted two days. Now that it's time to come, he won't suddenly change his mind, right?"

"But please rest assured, this General Jin is a very trustworthy person, and he will never do anything to retreat from the battle. The hour has passed, and it has not yet reached the time we have agreed to wait, so the sect leader still needs to wait patiently for a while. ”

As Zheng Yong spoke, he glanced back at the gloomy Duxiao Firmament, and at the same time, the corner of his eyes also swept over the ten black-clothed people behind him, and he was really a little unsure in his heart, what was the idea in the heart of this Chiyang Sect Master.

As early as three days ago, Duxiao Qiong had already rushed to the outside of Jingyang City with his personal disciples, the two brothers Gongyu Sayan and Gongyu Sarong, as well as ten Chiyang Sect masters and ten secret guards of the Secret Guard.

The subordinates of Zheng Yong, who were waiting for the reception, took them through a secret passage and smoothly entered Jingyang City.

As soon as he met Duxiao Qiongfang, Zheng Yong gave a detailed explanation of the well-thought-out plan he had made to the Chiyang Sect Master.

According to Zheng Yong's plan, tonight's assassination operation will be divided into two ways:

One route was led by Zheng Yong's subordinates, the two brothers Gongyu Sayan and Gongyu Sarong, as well as twenty Chiyang Sect disciples and secret guards, to enter the palace through the secret passage between the Jiwang Mansion and the Shoukang Palace.

After leaving the secret passage, they had to rush directly into the Funing Palace, where the emperor and empress lived, to carry out the assassination of Leng Yiqing.

On the other hand, Zheng Yong took the Chiyang Sect Leader Duxiao Dome and touched it from near the Donghua Gate, which was closest to the Funing Palace. With Zheng Yong's familiarity with this palace and the skills of the two of them, it is not difficult to avoid the layers of vigilance in the palace and sneak into the Funing Palace.

But the goal of the two of them was not to be cold, but to be the emperor's eldest son, Han Bing, who stood guard on the roof of the Funing Palace every night.

Zheng Yong and Duxiaoqiong joined forces, even if they couldn't kill him or hurt Han Bing, they would definitely be able to entangle him to the death, buy time for Gongyu to allow them, and complete the "stabbing cold" plan.

However, what Zheng Yong didn't expect was that after listening to his plan, Duxiao Qiongdang even raised a different opinion.

The Chiyang Sect Master agreed to divide the troops into two ways, but he proposed a very strange arrangement. He had to take the ten secret guards under Gongyu Sayan with him and enter the palace from near the Donghua Gate together.

However, everyone knows that with the martial arts of those secret guards, it is impossible to climb over the east city wall strictly guarded by the forbidden army without being discovered, and then break through the layers of guard guards in the palace city, and finally reach the Funing Palace.

So obviously, the purpose of Duxiao Dome's move was to sacrifice those dark guards.

In doing so, on the one hand, they can attract all the Ouchi guards guarding Miyagi to their side, so as to create an opportunity for Gongyu to allow them to be assassinated.

On the other hand, it can also be used to completely isolate Gongyu Sayan, in case he finds an opportunity to attack his brother Gongyu Sarong.

Regarding Duxiaoqiong's arrangement, which was obviously aimed at his own sinister intentions, Gong Yu Sayan, who was the head of the Dark Guard Division, of course, tried his best to oppose it, and resolutely disagreed to hand over his subordinates to this Chiyang Sect Master to be sacrificed as bait to attract enemies.

But now that there is no His Majesty the Emperor of the Rong Kingdom to support him, how can Duxiaoqiong take his opinion seriously.

In the end, in the face of the murderous master, Gongyu had to obediently submit.

Of course, Zheng Yong could see that Duxiaoqiong had already made up his mind, and he would never let his personal disciple and his secret guards escape from the wealthy palace alive.

In fact, Zheng Yong himself has always wanted to get rid of the scheming and cunning Gongyu who has a grudge against him. But in his mind, this matter could have been done until after the assassination of Leng Yiqing.

Because the manpower of his own side is extremely limited at present, to carry out such a difficult assassination operation, it is natural that one more person will be more certain.

And the most important point is that Zheng Yong doesn't like Duxiaoqiong's bad idea of deliberately exposing his own secrets and attracting enemy forces, so as to create assassination opportunities for Gongyu and them!

The purpose of Duxiaoqiong's coming here is to assassinate Emperor Yu Leng Yiqing. Zheng Yong is different, his main goal is still cold ice.

Therefore, he didn't want to be used as a pawn to lure the enemy, so he followed this Chiyang Sect Master all the way into the palace and entered the Funing Palace.

But Zheng Yong will definitely not be like Gongyu Sayan, who directly spoke out against Duxiaoqiong's decision.

It was only with a few extra words that he persuaded Duxiao to postpone the assassination for a few days.

Then, he found the chess piece he had buried in the forbidden army, Jin Fanghe.

Jin Fanghe was the personal guard of Zhao Zhan, the former commander of the forbidden army, many years ago, and was later promoted to a deputy general, which can be called Zhao Zhan's henchman.

However, as soon as Zhao Zhan died, Song Qingfeng, the new commander of the forbidden army, naturally would not reuse someone like Jin Fanghe, who had a deep relationship with Zhao Zhan.

In Jin Fanghe's view, Song Qingfeng has been deliberately embarrassing himself, suppressing everywhere, and taking the blame at every turn.

Therefore, he hated Song Qingfeng very much in his heart, and at the same time, he no longer had any hope for his future in the forbidden army.

But just when Jin Fanghe was hesitating whether to leave the forbidden army, Zheng Yong suddenly appeared.

The former governor of Ouchi, who was also Zhao Zhan's father-in-law, persuaded Jin Fanghe to remain in the forbidden army, but to follow his instructions in the future.

For this reason, Zheng Yong gave Jin Fanghe a lot of benefits, and even promised him a sum of money that he could not spend in several lifetimes, which was enough for him to live freely in the future.

So, Jin Fanghe stayed and waited for Zheng Yong's instructions all the time.

Zheng Yong knows very well that this golden vice general is likely to play an extremely important role at a critical moment, so he will not easily use this chess piece to expose it prematurely.

But this time, Zheng Yong believes that it should have reached the critical moment that determines success or failure, and it is time for Jin Fanghe to really play a role.

So, he gave Jin Fanghe an order -

Let this Jin deputy general take the opportunity of guarding the palace gate to lure away the forbidden army guarding the section of the city wall near the Donghua Gate for a period of time around the middle of the hour.

And at this moment, what Zheng Yong is waiting for is Jin Fanghe's response to his order.

Although due to the exposure of Guo Shixun's identity, he had to advance the broken arrow operation by one day, Jin Fanghe had already received the news, and it stands to reason that he should not be mistaken.

But seeing that it was almost the middle of the child, Zheng Yong couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and unconsciously wiped a handful of snowflakes that fell on his face.

At this moment, he finally saw a faint flash of fire appear in a certain battlement in the section of the city wall in front of him.

I saw that the firelight flickered three times in succession in a flash, and then disappeared completely, which was the code agreed in advance.

Zheng Yong hurriedly nodded to Duxiaoqiong, and took the lead in sneaking towards the bottom of the palace city.

Duxiao Qiong waved his hand to the ten secret guards behind him and followed behind Zheng Yong together.

With Zheng Yong and Duxiaoqiong's skills, they could naturally easily jump over that section of the city wall several feet high.

However, the ten secret guards had to use the flying ropes prepared in advance, and they all climbed over this unguarded city wall without danger.

After everyone landed safely, Zheng Yong's face couldn't help but flash a sinister smile, and he nodded to Duxiaoqiong again.

He then led the Beijung Assassins and flew away into the depths of the temple, which seemed more and more quiet in the snowy night......
