"Mr. Yun, take a look."
Chen Nan handed the brocade box to Mr. Yun. Mr. Yun looked at the brocade box and asked, "There is a hidden compartment on this brocade box. If you forcefully break into it, both the brocade box and the brocade box will be destroyed."
"Can you take it apart?"
"The thief is here." Mr. Yun looked around, and finally fixed his sight on the body of a five-meter-tall ghost.
"You little thief, please see your Majesty." The big thief came forward and half-knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, this man is called a dog thief. He is proficient in all kinds of locks. A single hair can unlock any lock in the world." Old General Yun, a man who saw ghosts in his eyes, said simply.
"Okay, if you can break this seal, I will give you other treasures."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The thief was overjoyed. He picked up the brocade box, looked at it carefully, and then pulled out a strand of hair.
He stuffed the hair into the keyhole, twisted it slightly, and the lid of the box opened with a click.
"Okay, you pick a treasure first."
Chen Nan opened the brocade box. There were no valuables in the brocade box, only some letters placed there quietly. He took out a piece of letter paper and opened it, and his face suddenly became very ugly.
"Empress, what's going on?" Concubine Lan looked confused.
Concubine Lan took the letter. When Concubine Lan saw it, her face suddenly darkened and she said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, is this letter between Toyotomi Ichiro and the spy Daliang?"
"Yes." This box contains all the conspiracies between Toyotomi Ichiro and the Daliang feudal prince. The latest one is the mysterious feudal prince who asked Toyotomi Ichiro to hold Chen Nan back.
"Yan Hai, you choose someone you trust and bring all the treasures back to the palace. Mr. Yun, let's go first."
"yes!"
While Chen Nan was searching for Japanese pirate treasures in Minzhou, the capital was also in chaos.
In the capital, the imperial study room was crowded with people at this time. Lan Yuan was sitting at the top, followed by the six ministers and the left and right officials.
"Commander Xiao, didn't you go to Minzhou with the emperor? When will you come back?" Su Qing stared at Lan Yuan in disbelief.
"Master Su, I did not follow the emperor to Minzhou. I followed the emperor's order to stay here in the capital."
"Stay in the capital, General Xiao, what do you mean?" Su Qing did not say anything else, but everyone looked in disbelief because they all knew what Su Qing was talking about.
"Master Su, I invite you all to come this time because I am worried that they will do something dangerous." Lan Yuan said with a frown.
"Report." After Lan Yuan finished speaking, a herald rushed in and shouted loudly.
"Commander Xiao, there are 10,000 rebels wearing black armor appearing east of the capital, five kilometers away from the capital."
"Reporting to General Xiao, 10,000 rebels wearing black armor appeared five kilometers west of the capital."
With the arrival of the five envoys, the entire imperial capital was surrounded by dense black sergeants.
"What, what's going on? Why are there so many rebels?" The generals were a little better, but the civil servants were in a panic.
"Don't worry, everyone. Before the emperor left, he had considered that one day, as long as you stay in this palace with peace of mind, I will drive out those rebellious people."
"Then there's General Lauran."
As night fell, there were more and more rebel forces outside the city, and the capital was also in chaos. In a shop in Nancheng, the shopkeeper and waiter in night clothes lifted the bar counter and picked up the weapons hidden underneath.
"Brothers, this is our opportunity to make meritorious service. The Prime Minister has ordered that when this mission is completed, all of us will be canonized."
"Swish swish."
Just as they shouted these words, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air outside. Before they had time to react, arrows had penetrated the window and killed them.
This kind of situation is happening all over the capital, but not all of them have been wiped out. There are still some masters who have escaped, but less than 10% of them can survive.
"We have been discovered." Several men in black robes who escaped formed a circle, and the leader looked gloomy.
"Hurry and report to the Prime Minister."
The first man picked up three signal arrows, pulled out the bowstring, and was about to release the arrows when he saw two daggers flying over silently.
A dagger cut off the bow and arrow, and a dagger cut across the killer's throat.
"There's an ambush."
Dozens of figures in black robes arrived in an instant and surrounded them.
But how could these people compare to the Shadow Guards? They were quickly captured by the Shadow Guards. If they had to capture them alive, they could have moved faster.
The secret guard was very skillful. When he caught those people, he directly broke their teeth to prevent them from committing suicide by poisoning.
"Tell me your plan and I can make your death more comfortable." The shadow guard leader walked up to a man in black robes.
The captain of the shadow guard waved his hand, and two men in black robes took him away. Not long after, he heard a muffled groan, as if someone covered his mouth, preventing him from even screaming.
"How is it? You won't tell me?"
"Pull it down." The leader of the shadow guards waved his hand again. The four men in black robes spoke very firmly, which made the leader of the shadow guards feel tight. It was getting late now. If they were not allowed to speak, Lan Yuan's plan would be destroyed. been greatly hindered.
"I tell you, don't let me be tortured." The captain of the secret guard walked up to the fifth man in black robe. He thought that the other man was a tough guy, but he didn't want to and was frightened without even saying a word.
The leader of the secret guard was startled. For a moment, he even wondered if the man in black robe was playing some trick.
"Are you sure?" The secret guard leader frowned and asked again.
"This is natural. What we have to do is to open the west gate. After we get the west gate, use three torches as signals. If not, shoot three sounding arrows."
The secret guard captain did not believe one of them, so he continued the interrogation. These people were not hard-core. Even if they were forced to confess, they did not resist and confessed everything.
"You go back to Commander Xiao first, and the rest of you will come with me." The leader of the shadow guards led a man in black robes to the west gate. When the two arrived, they met at the right time.
The leader of the shadow guard lit three torches and drew an eight-character character on the city wall.
"That's the signal for us to open the door."
"Then open the door." The leader of the shadow guards gave the order, and the guards at the west gate were replaced by the secret guards. As the secret guards pushed the door open, a faint sound of footsteps came from the distance.
Under the city wall, a black army was slowly approaching. The leader was riding a tall war horse, holding a spear in his hand, followed by countless soldiers wearing black armor.
The leader of the Shadow Guard looked at the black-armored troops entering the city, and was afraid that if they were allowed in, they would lose control.
