046 The Door
Two hours of Yin, that is, around 3:30 in the morning, this time is usually the time when people sleep the most.
If you are woken up at this time and pulled out of the bed, it will be really uncomfortable.
Wu Wan'er was in a daze at this moment, just like she was drunk, her little head was shaking and she was a little fluttering when walking.
Taichang couldn't help feeling distressed after seeing it.
He was nothing, because he should get up at this time every morning to prepare for morning court, but Wu Wan'er couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Alas, there is no way. If they want to successfully seize the gate and exit the city and then arrive at Zhenhaiwei as soon as possible, they have to take advantage of the darkest time before dawn to touch the city gate and kill the guards guarding the city in one fell swoop!
Otherwise, if some time is delayed, the guards from other city gates will flock to them, and they will be haunted to death.
Fortunately, the main players of this operation, Ge Cheng, Cao Huachun and Liu Shiyou are all masters among the masters. They are fine if they don’t sleep all night, and the Jinyiwei is used to getting up early. After all, they have to be on duty at the palace station during the morning court.
At this moment, all the horses had wrapped their hooves in cotton cloth, wrapped their mouths in cotton cloth, and were waiting to set off.
Taichang looked at the faint fire on the city gate tower in the distance, then looked back at the mysterious view that had swallowed up many lives. He sighed in his heart, then held the reins with one hand, and held Wu Wan'er's little hand with the other, and whispered to Ge Cheng in front: "Let's go."
In the dark night, more than fifty people set out silently.
Ge Cheng knew the streets and alleys of Suzhou City with his heart. Even if he closed his eyes, he would not make a mistake. Others are different. They have never been to most parts of Suzhou City. Even in broad daylight, they may not find the way. In this dark night, they are even more like entering a maze.
Fortunately, with the help of the faint firelight in the distance, they could at least see the ponytails in front of them, lined up in a long row, moving forward one by one without getting lost.
The group didn't know how long they had been walking around the streets and alleys. Finally, a tall city wall appeared in front of them. Looking along the city wall, the city gate tower shining brightly with torches was less than a mile away.
Taichang took out his telescope and looked carefully, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
His judgment was indeed correct. It was impossible for the guards guarding the city gate to hold on to each other day and night. At night, they always took a turn to rest, otherwise they would not have the energy the next day.
At this time, there were only a dozen people on the city gate tower, and they all looked drowsy. As for the lower part, there were only twenty people on both sides of the city gate, which was easy to solve because they had fifty Jinyiwei.
He thought for a moment and ordered in a low voice: "Old Ge, I will leave the ten people on the city wall to you. Cao Huachun and Liu Shiyou, you will take twenty people to come over and solve the garrisons on both sides of the city gate as soon as possible."
Everyone responded in a low voice and started to act.
They stuffed the reins in their hands into the remaining Jinyiwei's hand, then hugged their waists, walked quickly towards the city gate against the city wall.
About halfway through, he was going up the stairs of the city wall. Ge Cheng just flashed a few times and silently went up the city wall, while the others continued to walk forward along the city wall.
Not long after, a scream rang out from the city gate.
"ah!"
"No, the thief is here to seize the city gate. Hurry up, beat the drum."
Unfortunately, Ge Cheng's speed was too fast. Before the man could finish his words, a series of screams rang out from the city gate tower, but the drum beats never sounded.
All the above took action, and Cao Huachun and Liu Shiyou no longer hid their tracks. They rushed out of the dark shadow of the city wall, pulled out their weapons and rushed to the city gate, and then slashed.
These are ordinary treasurys. Before they attacked Xuanmiaoguan, those treasurys are powerful. How could it be that Cao Huachun and Liu Shi have their opponents? In a short while, more than 20 people were chopped to the ground and lost their voices.
However, at this time, a burst of rushing shouts sounded not far away.
"Hurry up, get up, the thief is coming to seize the city gate."
When Taichang heard the sound, he ordered without hesitation: "Hurry up, get on the horse and run over directly."
The remaining thirty people quickly turned over and ran towards the city gate.
"Boom", a dull sound of horse hooves sounded, and I don't know how many sleeping people woke up.
"Boom", there was another loud bang, and the suspension bridge had been cut down by Ge Cheng.
Immediately afterwards, a harsh friction sounded, and the city gate was also opened by Cao Huachun and Liu Shiyou.
At this time, a trace of dawn appeared in the sky, and the entire Suzhou City seemed to slowly wake up, and the scenery around it gradually became vaguely visible.
It was just right, and more than thirty people had already arrived at the city gate.
The Jinyiwei, who was holding the horse, threw the reins over and threw them over. Cao Huachun, Liu Shiyou and twenty Jinyiwei took the reins and turned over the horse, while Ge Cheng pulled the rope and flew down from the city wall and landed steadily on his mount.
The group did not stop, and just rode out of the city gate, crossed the suspension bridge, and ran towards Zhenhaiwei.
At this time, a bunch of Tunwei, who were not even dressed in clothes, ran out of the temporary camp, and they didn't even see their ponytails!
The thief has already fled to the door, what should we do?
Qianhu, who was responsible for guarding the place, looked at the corpses on both sides of the city gate for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, turned his horse's head, and ran towards the prefect's office.
Everyone is riding horses, but they only have two or three horses. If you chase after them, wouldn’t you seek death?
He could only report it to the commander to know.
Chen Yirui hadn't gotten up yet. He almost didn't sleep much last night. He didn't close his eyes until dawn.
Alas, there is no way, he can't sleep!
Originally, he thought that it was enough for the Five Hundred Tun Guards to clean up fifty elite Jinyiwei, but he never thought that the emperor secretly brought a peerless master. After a while, he fucked him three hundred times, and he almost scared him to pee.
When he returned to the prefect's office, Sun Zhixie desperately urged him to come from other places and do another move.
Just kidding, where did he mobilize troops?
There are ten large and large city gates in Suzhou City. Each city gate must be at least 200 people to guard it, otherwise it will not be able to stop others at all.
That's all his previous thoughts. After fighting a war, he realized how powerful the people around the emperor were. Two hundred people might not be able to stop them. He even drew people. What if they knew about it and ran to seize the city gate?
As for the people outside the city, there is no need to think about it. There are water and land passages everywhere within dozens of miles. The black paint is black. How can he mobilize people to walk there? He may not be notified tomorrow morning. If he sends people to ride a horse, he must die if he falls!
He talked with Sun Zhixie for a long time, and then thought about it in the middle of the night. As soon as he fell asleep in a daze, he was awakened by the rushing sound of horse hooves.
Who is this? Is he sick or what's wrong? The genius is so lit up here, just galloping here.
He was about to curse people, but the Qianhu had already rushed in and said with shame: "Sir, my subordinates are incompetent. The thief took the prime minister's gate and ran out of the city to the east!"
ah!
Chen Yirui was furious and said, "Did you grow up with shi? I ordered someone to tell me last night. When I found that the thief grabbed the gate, I immediately beat the drum to send a message. The guards at the nearby city gate could arrive in less than a quarter of an hour. Do you have two hundred people, and the city walls are supported, and can't hold on for a quarter of an hour?"
The Qianhu said helplessly: "Sir, the drum beats are not at all. They ran away in less than a stick of incense. The subordinates didn't have time to react!"
It must be that peerless master who stepped onto the city wall.
Alas, I miscalculated it!
Chen Yirui was stunned for a moment, then jumped out of bed and shouted: "Hurry up, notify everyone to gather outside the imperial examination room!"
How can this regicide thing be abandoned halfway?
Chapter completed!
