Although the mental age of Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai, and Fudozi is far beyond their appearance, at least they still look young, and none of them have beards, so it is not difficult to disguise the three of them as young eunuchs. Big, it's basically just a matter of changing clothes.
Naturally, Yun Shili could easily obtain a few sets of eunuch's clothes, just like people from Dongchang could also obtain the uniforms of their Jin Yiwei...
"I said...Brother Yun, do we have to pretend to be a eunuch? I'm a tough guy." When Sun Yixie saw that he was going to pretend to be a eunuch, he immediately said it in his voice that could pass him off as a eunuch without any modification.
"Then what do you want to pretend to be? A palace maid?" Yun Shili had no intention of modifying his plan, so he just responded with an argument.
"Tsk..." Brother Sun frowned and said, "Can't we pretend to be the imperial guard in the palace?"
"The guards are either standing guard in fixed places or patrolling in groups. There are prescribed times for changing guards and going to the toilet. Each class has its own class leader to supervise. How can you fish in troubled waters?" Yun Shili replied. He said, "Have you ever seen groups of guards running around in the harem talking to themselves?"
"Then the eunuchs can run around in groups of three and two in the harem?" Sun Yixie said unconvinced.
"Yes." Yun Shili answered confidently, "Isn't it right for eunuchs and maids to run around? If you really want to be asked, just say that the master asked you to run an errand to pick up something. Usually the other party will not I will ask more questions."
"Hey! You're not on duty in the palace, how do you know so clearly?" Sun Yixie asked in a louder tone.
"Hey! Can't I have a few friends who are on duty in the palace?" Yun Shili also raised his voice and asked, "Then friends drink a little wine and gossip, isn't that just complaining?"
Sun Yixie was completely unable to refute what he said.
At this moment, Brother Sun could only secretly regret in his heart: "Mom, if I had known that I was going to break into the palace, I should have gone to Master Yuan and Master Zhang to ask questions before I left home. After all, they did so much in the imperial dining room. Over the years, I must know a lot of inside stories in the palace... If I want to ask, I won't be like now where I can only accept everything they say."
In this way, the dissatisfaction ended, and Sun Yixie finally changed his clothes.
As for Huang Donglai, he originally felt that playing the eunuch was a bit awkward, but after hearing the conversation between Brother Sun and Yun Shili, he stopped talking.
As for Fuzi, there is no need to worry; a person of his level cannot judge the emotions and desires of ordinary people... Don't ask him to play the role of eunuch today, even if you really ask him to play the role of a palace maid, he will It does not matter.
To put it briefly, the three of them finished their disguises and took a rough look at the map of the Imperial City. When it was almost dawn, the three of them got into an empty "hitchhike" and rushed to the west side of the Imperial City. Went to a back alley.
Since there was nothing wrong with their outfits and badges, and Sun Yixie's voice was also very confusing, they followed Yun Shili's instructions and used the excuse of "they were walking slowly and were out of touch with the convoy that entered not long ago." , successfully deceived the guard and sneaked in through this entrance.
What? What fleet you ask?
Of course, it was a convoy transporting excrement. These "hitchhikers" had to enter and leave the imperial city several times a day, otherwise the excrement of the 8,000 people in the palace would not have time to process.
It was the darkest moment before dawn. The guards were already sleepy and couldn't see the person pushing the cart clearly, so it was the best time to fool around.
So, with Sun Yixie leading the way, Huang Donglai and Fudozi pushed the cart, the three of them followed a passage specially used to transport excrement out of the palace, and arrived at a "private room" in the palace. Then they put the cart in Throw it in the corner and walk away.
From this moment on, he changed to Fuzi to lead the way, not only because he remembered the map well, but also because he could sense where the "dragon energy" was, which meant he could roughly grasp the emperor's position at the moment; if he didn't have this ability , it is really difficult for them to handle, after all, the harem is too big, and they don't know where the emperor spent the night last night. If they arrest people and ask, it will easily lead to extraneous matters.
After walking like this for a while, the three of them arrived near Fengxian Hall smoothly without being stopped or questioned along the way.
This "Fengxian" has nothing to do with Lu Fengxian. As the name suggests, this is the family temple where the emperors of Dashu worshiped their ancestors.
Isn’t the Hungry Ghost Festival coming soon? In order to prepare for the sacrifice that will be held here soon, Zhu Fu also got up early today and called the national master to come to the scene to discuss the details of the sacrifice.
It should be mentioned here that in the Yongtai period, the word "National Preceptor" was not a title given by imperial decree, but a title that had its own duties.
At this time, Dashu's "National Preceptor" is a special official position that is one level higher than the Imperial Supervisor and is not based on "grade". It can be regarded as a powerful position around the emperor on certain specific matters. Someone who speaks up and has considerable say.
For example, regarding the Zhongyuan sacrifice, the emperor directly consulted the Imperial Preceptor and did not need to go to anyone else. After they made an agreement, the matter was left to the Imperial Preceptor to handle with full authority, and both the Imperial Supervisor and the Minister of Rites also had to listen. Arrangements by the National Preceptor.
The current Imperial Master, whose Taoist name is "Yan Danzi", is an orthodox monk of the Emei Sect (the Emei Sect of the Taoist sect, not the Emei Sect of Jianghu). He was ordered by his master to come down to serve as this master ten years ago. of position.
When he came, he was fifty years old. In a large orthodox Taoist sect like Emei, he was considered a very low-ranking and very young disciple, so this kind of drudgery like a long-term business trip fell on him...
If nothing goes wrong, when Yan Danzi turns seventy, he will be able to return to Shanmen for business.
Then, according to the rules negotiated by the Taoist sect many years ago, the next national master must be sent from another sect. After Emei, there will be Qingcheng, Beihai, Penglai... Anyway, one by one, sects will take turns, and whoever's turn will be unlucky.
Early that morning, Yan Danzi was called here by the emperor. The two were chatting about sacrifices. Suddenly, three uninvited guests broke in through the high-rise window of the palace and rushed to Zhu Zhu. These three people were shouting, "The common people have something important to report to the Emperor!"
And these three people are none other than Fudozi, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai.
Their plan can be described as simple and crude. In short, they are to find a way to rush in front of the emperor first, and then, whether it is yelling or talking, as long as the other party starts to listen to them, things can proceed.
If they really want to make this "approaching" process too complicated, it will increase the probability of failure. And even if they succeed in approaching the emperor without alerting anyone, when they want to speak, they may still be able to do it with just one sentence. Trigger the expansion of "Escort".
Then let’s go straight to the point...
Soon enough, just as the three of them rushed to the front of the car ten steps away, the old manager next to the emperor, who looked to be over seventy years old, jumped up like a rabbit and dodged. He stood in front of the three people.
Two seconds later, the old manager summoned up his powerful internal energy, shouted "Escort" in his mouth, spread his arms, and launched a "Boundless Sea" move at the three comers.
The power of this move is extraordinary. In terms of martial arts, it would have to be at least someone of Di Bujue's level to be able to handle it. If it were a slightly weaker leader-level master, he would be beaten to vomit blood on the spot.
Fortunately, there was Fudozi sitting here, and he faced the opponent's torrential palm power without hesitation. He just stood up and used his chest to disperse the attack.
When others look at this scene, it seems as if the old manager's palm is not strong enough, and the blows on Fuzi's body are like the breeze blowing on the face, neither painful nor itchy...
But the old manager himself was stunned. At this moment, he almost suspected that he was dreaming. His sixty-year-old skill was turned into a move and blasted out. Is this how the other party reacted? Even if it's such a big fart, the other party will be so stinky that he frowns, right? He co-wrote "Boundless Sea", which he had worked hard on for decades, and it was worse than a piece of shit.
"Don't make any moves yet, you have something to say!" After Fudozi stood still, he shouted loudly.
But in this case, his words didn't count. In the blink of an eye, dozens of heavily armed Imperial Guards swarmed in outside the palace and surrounded them with spears and knives.
"Bold traitor! How dare you rush into surprise and be captured quickly!" The leader of the Forbidden Army was almost bleeding from his eyes at this moment, because he knew that he had already derelict in his duty by letting these three people bypass the guards outside and come to the emperor. If he can't stop the loss in time, he will be dismissed from his post afterwards, or his head will be lost at worst.
Therefore, he was very careful with his wording at this moment. He only said "dare to drive in surprise" and did not use "dare to assassinate", so as not to make his sins even greater when he was held accountable.
"We have something important to report to the Emperor, but we have no way to meet him, so we come up with this plan. I hope you all..." Fudozi was still trying to negotiate with the other party at this time.
"Stop talking! We can wait until we are in jail to talk about anything we have to say! If you dare to resist, you will be killed without mercy!" But the leader of the forbidden army did not let him finish his words at all, and called his subordinates to come forward and take the person.
Fudozi could only sigh secretly at this time. Things really developed as Yun Shili expected. It seemed that a conflict was inevitable.
But I didn't expect...
"Wait a minute!" At this moment, Yan Danzi, who had been silent all the time, shouted softly, "General, don't make a move yet."
His words really calmed the Imperial Guards.
The next second, Yan Danzi turned around and saluted Zhu Huo: "Your Majesty, can I let Pindao say a few words to these people before I say goodbye?"
"Oh?" Zhu Fu was still in shock and a little confused, "Master, what exactly is this..."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I have my own concerns." The Imperial Master continued in a confident tone.
"Well..." Zhu Yao looked at Yan Danzi for a few seconds. After calming down a little, he nodded slightly, "Okay."
Ladies and gentlemen, if you break this paragraph apart and think about it carefully, Yan Danzi’s sin is not small.
When the emperor faced the threat of possible assassination, he actually issued an order to the imperial guards. After giving the order, he asked the emperor what he could do. After the emperor raised the question, he did not answer directly. Instead, he said "Don't worry, I have my plan"... No matter how you look at it, it smells of overstepping and bullying.
However, Zhu Fu was not angry and agreed.
Because...Zhu Fu is also a sensible person.
He knew that although Yan Danzi also treated himself, the great emperor, with a certain degree of courtesy as a monarch and his ministers, they were not truly "monarchs and ministers", let alone "masters and servants".
Yan Danzi's allegiance was never to the emperor, but to his own sect. What he recognized was "the destiny", not the "emperor's destiny".
To put it metaphorically, Yandanzi is like a bodyguard sent here by other units to protect the royal family and Dashu from being disturbed by some supernatural things. He can ignore other things.
Theoretically speaking, if three assassins really came to assassinate the emperor today, Yan Danzi could even stand by and watch as long as the assassins had nothing to do with supernatural powers.
Of course, he can also choose to save...but whether he saves or not, he has to bear the "karma" caused by this choice himself, because it has nothing to do with his responsibilities and is his personal choice.
Zhu Fu understands Yan Danzi's position, so he trusts Yan Danzi, who is not a "courtier", more than he trusts any of his courtiers or even relatives - this national preceptor may refuse to save him. But he would never take the initiative to harm him, nor would he be bribed or coerced by anyone... So when the national master proposed to do something, he was definitely helping him.
"May I ask the little brother standing at the front, who is a member of my sect?" After a breath, Yan Danzi turned around, took two steps forward, and said something condescending and condescending.
"Since you've already seen it, why bother asking even though you already know it?" Fudozi responded with neither humility nor arrogance.
"Hmph..." Yan Danzi smiled, "You are a novice, you are not old, but your tone is quite aggressive." He was not angry, paused, and then continued, "That's it, I saw purple on your head. Surrounded by Qi and full of righteousness, I guess you are not a person in the devil's way. However, it is a bit reckless for you to enter the palace without permission and rashly alarm the emperor. You shouldn't... If I hadn't happened to be here today, I don't know how your move would have ended. Woolen cloth."
"Yes, I do have to thank you for this." Fudozi said, "But I am not being reckless by coming here this time, because there is really something big happening in the capital right now."
"Oh? What's the big deal? Please tell me." Yan Danzi heard this, but he didn't take it seriously and continued leisurely.
The reason why he can be so calm is not because of his great ability, but because he thinks that his ability is already great enough.
So his inner thought at the moment is: "With my cultivation, if there were any serious abnormalities in the capital, I should have discovered it long ago. If I didn't discover it, then it's nothing serious.
"Is there any danger that the trail in front of me was discovered but I didn't notice it? It's impossible.
"However, looking at this Taoist's solemn appearance, I, a senior of the Emei Sect, can't even let him say a few words. After all, we are all fellow Taoists. Even if we are not from the same sect, we should help each other.
"Then I'll just listen to what he has to say, and then I can use what he said to find a reason to excuse these three boys. At least they will be exempted from the death penalty for breaking into the palace and driving in surprise."
It can be seen that Yan Danzi is not a bad person and is quite thoughtful.
But he never expected that Fudoko would immediately come up with a line that made his scalp tingle.
"The Thirteen Dead Zodiac Signs...you know, right?"
