The Jinwu Guard's government office is majestic and tall, located on the east side of the palace. Among the three guards, its tallest is second only to the Longhu Guard's government office. Among them, the school field occupies most of the area, which is used for ordering and training troops. This school ground can accommodate about 15,000 sergeants for training. In order not to attract attention, Jinwu Guards General Hu Dayou gathered 15,000 people today. He started setting up the school ground in the afternoon and led 8,000 people to rush in. Entering the palace through the east gate of the palace, he ordered his trusted lieutenant Zhang Kan to lead 5,000 people to respond at the south gate. Once the situation changed, he immediately left the south gate, joined forces with Zhang Kan's army at the south gate, and escaped from the south gate. The reason why I chose the South Gate is because it is the closest to the Prince of Wei's Mansion. I can rush directly to the Prince of Wei's Mansion and leave together with the King of Wei.

The blood-red sunset at dusk shone slantingly on the glittering silver school grounds. Each Jinwu Guard guard wore a silver helmet, silver armor, and held a bright silver gun, all majestically waiting for orders. It was getting dark, and the biting cold wind was blowing back and forth among the guards. The red tassels on the guards' helmets were flying in the cold wind, complementing the bloody setting sun.

Hu Dayou stood on the generals' stage and looked at the white guards under the school field. He suddenly became excited. The success or failure of tonight depended on this. The setting sun in the horizon still refuses to go down, and time has passed so long now! Hu Dayou had only one goal at this time, which was to rush into the emperor's palace, use "the prince's assassin" as bait, and threaten the emperor to depose Liu Yan and establish the king of Wei. Thoughts in his mind were flying. In such a cold evening, Hu Dayou's forehead unexpectedly A few drops of sweat broke out, but that old guy Du Zongting hasn't come yet? Hu Dayou shouted loudly and asked a rough general beside him, "Zhang Kan, what time is it now?"

Zhang Kan replied nervously: "It's just the right time now."

"Are everything arranged?"

"Don't worry, General, everything has been arranged. Our disguised 'assassins' will be mixed with our team in a while, and when we break into the palace, eight of them will show up. These brothers are very reliable. , there will be no mistakes." When Zhang Kan cupped his fists to report, he suddenly found that his palms were sweating.

"Very good!" Hu Dayou said, then took a deep breath and said murderously, "Those 'assassins' will not be left alive by then, remember?"

Zhang Kan replied neatly: "I understand!"

"Yes!" Hu Dayou nodded with satisfaction, "Have your guards been arranged? How should I make it clear?"

"Five thousand guards are ready. They will meet you outside the south gate when the time comes. They only say they will ambush the assassins there."

Hu Dayou came forward and patted Zhang Kan's shoulder, and said with satisfaction: "Very good. When the time comes, you just have to deal with me there. No matter whether it succeeds or not, I will come out to the south gate. If I still come when Haishi comes, If we don't come out, it means that we have been in trouble, so you just..." Hu Dayou was silent. He didn't dare to imagine if something unexpected would happen. After a moment, he continued, "You guys rush to the Prince of Wei's Mansion and take Prince Wei straight to the house. Go to the east city gate. The defense there is lax, so you can flee directly to the north."

Now that the deployment was ready, Hu Dayou looked at the horizon anxiously. At this time, half of the setting sun had been swallowed up by the distant mountains, but the guards under the school grounds remained motionless. Why hasn't Du Zongting arrived yet? Hu Dayou asked Zhang Kan impatiently: "What time is it now? What tricks is Mr. Du doing! Why haven't you arrived yet?"

Zhang Kan was also a little nervous, but he still comforted General Hu respectfully and said: "It's already the Youshi time. I guess Master Du is arranging things, so there was a delay."

"Send someone to investigate as soon as possible..." Before Hu Dayou finished speaking, he heard his subordinates report that Lord Du Zongting had arrived.

Du Zongting followed the subordinate in a hurry. Seeing Hu Dayou's anxious expression, he hurried forward and said with an embarrassed smile: "General Hu has been kept waiting for a long time. I have arranged things at home, so I was delayed. See you, General Hu..."

"Okay, okay!" Hu Dayou interrupted him, "It's nothing, just be prepared and the whole family can make arrangements. I will leave two thousand guards for you now. You must act according to the original plan."

Du Zongting nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, General Hu!"

Hu Dayou's originally tense face now smiled flatteringly, "Haha... Mr. Du, success or failure depends on this one move. As long as we succeed, we will be promoted to a higher position and enjoy endless glory and wealth! Du!" Sir, you must do this job well!"

"Don't worry, General Hu, I'm here waiting for your cannon fire!" Du Zongting smiled reluctantly and raised his hands.

At this time, the bright moon was high, and the two teams of Jinwu Guards were marching quickly under the moonlight. When Hu Dayou and Zhang Kan were about to arrive at the palace, they divided their troops into two groups. Hu Dayou led the eight thousand guards to the east gate of the palace, and Zhang Kan led Five thousand guards went to wait outside the south gate.

When Hu Dayou's guards arrived at the east gate, just as he expected, the guards at the palace gate were a little surprised when they saw the darkness in front of the palace gate and could not see the appearance of the person coming. They quickly shouted and asked: " Whose people are down there?”

Hu Dayou looked up at the city tower with his gun sideways, and replied loudly: "Jinwu Guard General Hu Dayou, when we were chasing the assassins here just now, we saw that they had quietly climbed into the palace gate. Brothers on guard, open the palace gate quickly. Let us go in and suppress the assassins, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

After hearing this, several guards behind the city battlements did not doubt his presence and directly asked people to open the palace door. Hu Dayou also didn't expect that he could break into the palace so smoothly without excessive questioning. It seems that the military discipline of the Yulin Guards is indeed not very strict. I have always heard that Hou Zhigui is particularly lazy, so you can see through this.

Hu Dayou clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and then lightly patted the sitting white horse with his gun. The horse's hooves led the way in front of him. The footsteps of the guards behind him and the impact of the armor came one after another, like a mighty road in the dark night. silver snake.

Hu Dayou led the team straight to the emperor's palace, but something seemed wrong about the scene in the palace. Why was there not even a palace lantern hanging in the huge palace? And why is the person in charge of night watch in the palace missing? Thinking of this, Hu Dayou couldn't help but gently pull the reins, slowed down his pace, looked around and observed, but found nothing unusual. Hu Dayou gritted his teeth in his heart. Now was not the time to think wildly. After thinking about it, he gently pinched the horse's belly and quickened his pace.

The bright waning moon has hung on the palace wall, and the soldiers of Jinwu Guard are advancing quickly and uniformly. For the first time in his life, Hu Dayou felt that the palace was so big. He felt as if he had walked away for a lifetime. The moonlight was enough to illuminate the center of the highest power in front of him. Maybe it was because he was too nervous and held the silver in his hand. The palm of the hand holding the gun was filled with sweat.

"No? No!" Hu Dayou muttered in a low voice, "But what's wrong?"
