But Liu Wei just glanced at it, without thinking much, and continued to focus on the group of people under the city wall.
Eunuch Wu naturally felt Liu Wei's gaze, but he didn't show anything strange. He pretended to be nonchalant and stood quietly behind Xiao Fengtian.
This Eunuch Wu was Nan Shishan's spy who had been placed in the palace a long time ago. He was also the husband of Aunt Gui. His real name was Wu Chaofan.
Wu Chaofan entered the palace when his eldest brothers Xiao Fengtian and Xiao Nantian were emperors. At that time, the palace happened to recruit a group of eunuchs, so Wu Chaofan was inserted by Nan Shishan.
In fact, over the years, Aunt Gui only knew that Wu Chaofan was assigned to serve in the palace, but she didn't actually know the specific position.
I wonder how she will feel when she learns the truth? What kind of expression will it look like? Before Wu Chaofan entered the palace, Nan Shishan had told him that he would probably become an eunuch and asked him if he was willing to sacrifice his life for the Yan Dynasty.
Wu Chaofan thought for a long time, and finally decided to embark on this path. It's just because the seeds of helping His Highness Dayan to restore the country have been planted in his heart since he was a child.
From a young eunuch, he relied on his wit and motivation, step by step, and spent hundreds of years to climb to the position of great eunuch next to His Majesty the Emperor, serving as the chief eunuch.
After Xiao Kuo became the emperor, Wu Chaofan was removed from his position as the eunuch chief, and was almost in a sinecure position in the palace. It was equivalent to the royal family allowing him to retire in the palace for the sake of serving the first emperor. .
...Two parties, one standing on the palace wall and the other standing on the street a hundred feet away, looked at each other from a distance, but no one took the lead.
The Yan Dynasty is waiting for the personnel in the imperial city to gather quickly, and is also waiting for the internal response to be deployed in several key places to succeed as early as possible and minimize casualties.
As for the palace, they are also waiting for the city lords of other cities to bring people to support them. Of course, this part is just to keep it outside the imperial city to prevent enemies outside from attacking from both sides to break the city defense formation.
The people of the four major families are currently receiving orders to stand still and wait for the enemy to make the first move, and then the four major families will encircle them from behind, forming a pincer attack from both front and rear.
And in less than half a quarter of an hour, the entire imperial city was already filled with panic, feeling the smell of gunpowder on the eve of the war, fearing that the gods would fight, and they, the mortals, would suffer, and their lives would be taken away by a lingering force. .
At this time, in Prince Hongtian's palace, Xiao Hongtian and three emperors were in the main hall. Xiao Hongtian clasped his hands behind his back and walked around anxiously in the hall, but he didn't know what to do!
"No, we can't sit still and wait for death. You three, go to the palace quickly to provide support!" Xiao Hongtian stopped and looked at the three people standing aside.
Among these three people, one is the steward of the palace, and two are worshipers of the palace. One of the worshipers is Xu Xiang, the concubine of Nanshishan.
"Your Majesty, we are leaving, what will happen to your safety?" the housekeeper looked at Xiao Hongtian worriedly and asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty, if we leave, what danger will you be in? How can we explain to His Majesty and King Nan?" Another worshipper said.
"Well, it's understandable that the prince is worried about the safety of his two brothers. Moreover, those people are obviously heading for the palace, so there shouldn't be any danger here. You two go to the palace to support me, and I will stay here to protect you. Your Majesty!" Xu Xiang said.
"This..." The housekeeper heard Xu Xiang's words and looked at Xu Xiang, a little embarrassed. He was really worried about leaving the prince here.
"Just listen to Xu Fengfeng, you two go to the palace quickly, Xu Fengfeng can stay!" Xiao Hongtian said.
"Yes." The housekeeper and the worshiper could only nod in agreement.
"Xu Zongfeng, we must ensure the safety of the prince!" the housekeeper warned before leaving.
"Don't worry, you two. As long as I, Xu Xiang, am still breathing, I will never let the prince be harmed in the slightest!" Xu Xiang promised, patting his chest.
The housekeeper nodded, and then walked outside with the worshipper.
"You two, please also pay attention to safety!" Xiao Hongtian warned.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two of them turned around and hugged Xiao Hongtian, then stepped out of the hall, soared into the sky, and disappeared.
In just a blink of an eye, the two of them had arrived not far from the palace. From a distance, they saw a group of people not far from the palace gate, and there were still people gathering there.
The two of them quietly hid in the void and did not appear for the time being. At the same time, people in Xiao Nantian's mansion were also in panic.
Xiao Nantian's three wives are gathering in the main hall, and the housekeeper and worshiper Huang Yong are guarding outside the hall at the moment.
The remaining Imperial Realm and King Realm guards were scattered throughout the Southern Palace and were scanning everywhere nervously.
"Butler!" The eldest lady's call came from the hall.
"What are your orders, madam?" the steward walked into the hall and saluted the eldest lady and asked.
"I'm very anxious. I don't know how the prince is doing now. You can go and take a look quietly!" the eldest lady said anxiously.
"But what about your safety?" the housekeeper asked with some embarrassment.
"Don't worry about us. We women's families and those people won't come to trouble us. Besides, there are so many guards in the mansion, and Huang Yong is also here. Nothing will happen. Go to the palace and see Look at the prince!" the eldest lady urged.
"Yes, sister is right, go and help the prince!" the second lady said.
"Butler, don't hesitate. Maybe the prince needs help right now, so go and hurry up!" the third lady said coquettishly.
Xiao Nantian's third wife, the eldest lady is a steady person and manages the entire palace. The second lady is taciturn and basically does not care about worldly affairs.
The Third Madam was married ten years ago, and she is still as beautiful as a flower, but she is a little domineering. If she acts coquettishly in front of Xiao Nantian, Xiao Nantian will have a headache.
Xiao Nantian's deceased son was born to the eldest lady. Later, he married the second wife and the third wife, hoping to have another child, but they never got pregnant, and Xiao Nantian never married again.
"Oh! Then I'll go take a look!" The housekeeper sighed and left the hall.
"Huang Lao, the safety of the ladies and the house is in your hands!" After the housekeeper came out, he said to Huang Yong outside the hall.
Huang Yong still looked honest and courteous, scratched his head and said: "Okay!" The butler stopped staying and disappeared from the place with a movement.
After a few breaths, he arrived outside the palace gate and saw people on both sides facing each other from a distance. He breathed a sigh of relief before they made any move.
Suddenly, he discovered that there were two people hiding in the void not far from him. At this time, the two people also looked towards him.
The butler moved and appeared next to the two people. After the three nodded in greeting, they disappeared into the void and continued to watch.
In the palace of Prince Fengtian, three people were looking at Chai Yuliang with anger on their faces. In the main hall, Xiao Fengtian's eldest wife, two imperial guards and housekeeper Chai Yuliang were present.
It stands to reason that Xiao Fengtian's wives should have been canonized as concubines and moved into the palace and lived in the harem at this time.
But the eldest lady is a devout believer in Buddhism. During these years in the mansion, she just stayed in a Buddhist hall, ate fasting and chanted Buddha's name, ignoring the secular world.
Xiao Fengtian's other wives have already moved into the harem, but the eldest lady is unwilling to go and wants to stay in the mansion to chant Buddha's name. This place is quieter than the palace.
And she has gotten used to it here over the years. Xiao Fengtian did not force him, so he complied with the eldest lady's wishes and allowed him to stay in the mansion.
For his safety, Xiao Fengtian arranged for two emperor-level experts to guard him in the house, plus a housekeeper, Chai Yuliang, so Xiao Fengtian was quite relieved.
However, he may not have thought that the biggest danger in the house comes from his most trusted butler Chai Yuliang, a man who has watched him grow up and is like a father.
Chai Yuliang was Nan Shishan's spy at Xiao Kuo's father's side. At that time, Xiao Kuo's father was just a prince, and Chai Yuliang was only a king.
Later, Xiao Fengtian was born and had his own mansion. After Xiao Kuo's father ascended the throne, he arranged for Chai Yuliang to be the housekeeper of the Fengtian Palace to look after Xiao Fengtian.
At this time, Chai Yuliang was holding a dagger in his hand, which was placed on the neck of the eldest lady. Two Imperial Realm guards stood aside, glaring at Chai Yuliang, not daring to act rashly.
"Butler Chai, why are you doing this? Is there something I have done to offend you over the years, or is it that Your Majesty is not good enough to you, Butler Chai?" The eldest lady turned her head and stared at Chai Yuliang, suppressing the anger in her heart.
Chai Yuliang didn't speak, just shook his head.
"Chai Yuliang, do you know what you are doing?" An Imperial Realm guard glared at Chai Yuliang and asked.
"Chai Yuliang, has your conscience been eaten by a dog or have you lost your mind and gone crazy?" Another guard glared at Chai Yuliang with murderous intent in his eyes.
When Chai Yuliang saw the signal flare, he deceived the eldest lady from the Buddhist hall, and then deceived the two emperor-level guards into the main hall. After closing the hall door, he took out a dagger and pointed it at her without any warning. between the eldest lady's neck.
The remaining guards of the Emperor's Realm and the King's Realm in the mansion were scattered everywhere and knew nothing about what was happening in the hall.
"You two, declare yourself a cultivator, or I will take action against my wife!" Chai Yuliang did not answer the three people's questions and looked at the two guards not far away.
The two guards had uncertain faces, obviously thinking about what to do. If you claim to be a self-proclaimed cultivator, it will be like fish on a sticky board, and you can only let Chai Yuliang control it.
If they don't profess their cultivation and the eldest lady shows up, the result for the two of them will not be much better.
"Hurry up, my patience is limited!" Chai Yuliang frowned.
"You two, don't worry about me. You work together to kill this beast, and then go help His Majesty!" The eldest lady said looking at the two guards who were unable to make a choice.
