Inside the room on the other side.
In front of Zhang Bao stood all the horses of Bao Wei's thirty-six riders.
After the men of the gold-touching brigade finished digging the tunnel, Zhang Bao asked them to withdraw. They were not combatants and the danger of staying here was not small.
Moreover, the people behind will not concentrate on their actions, so this goal is too obvious.
"Zhao Gao, how many years have you been following me?"
Zhang Bao asked Zhao Gao and the others.
"Sir, it's been more than three years!"
"At that time, we were still eating and waiting to die in Sanhe County. If it weren't for adults, how could we have such skills in the past few years?"
Zhao Gao smiled and said to Zhang Bao.
Everyone around also laughed.
For them, it was precisely because of meeting Zhang Bao that they had their current identities and changes. Otherwise, they might still be soldiers in Sanhe County, or they might have died long ago.
"Today, there is a task that you need to do, and I need each of you to complete the task and come back. Are there any questions?"
Zhang Bao asked them.
"Sir, you are just joking. We, the Thirty-sixth Cavalry of the Bao Guard, have never completed any mission neatly."
"If you have anything to do, please tell me, sir!"
"Even if we go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of fire, we, the Thirty-sixth Cavalry of the Treasure Guard, will never frown."
They are also aware of the recent situation, and naturally know that Zhang Bao will make some moves next.
"You must remember that to fight and complete tasks, you can never fight head-on. You must learn to use your brain."
"No matter how awesome you are, if you face hundreds of people alone, you will die."
"Disguise, lurk, replace personnel, kill people with borrowed knives, and divert trouble to the east. These are all the methods you need to use. There is no time limit for this mission. What I want is for each of you to return to Hezhou smoothly!"
"Understand?"
Zhang Bao said to them.
"clear!"
"Sir, just give the order!"
Zhao Gao and the others smiled at each other, as if they had already guessed what Zhang Bao asked them to do.
"good!"
"Come and see, this is Xiazhou's map..."
…
Inside Da Sima's Mansion at this time.
Cao Kang walked out of the house with his arms hanging.
"Let them all act now!"
"Search me door to door, and be sure to make a big noise for me!"
"The city gate will be temporarily closed for three days. After three days, the people who were prepared before will be sent out and killed in the street. In this way, this matter will be considered complete."
"After three days, I believe these complaining people will spread the news themselves."
"Go!"
Cao Kang said to the people in front.
"grown ups!"
"There's a fire in the palace!"
At this moment, a servant hurriedly came in and said.
"What?"
When Cao Kang heard this, he was shocked.
Quickly looking in the direction of the palace, there was indeed a lot of black smoke filling the air.
"Could it be that the guards deliberately set the fire?"
"Want to die to prove your ambition?"
Cao Kang quickly thought of those guards. They were preparing to protect the emperor. They must have run out of food and drink and were worried that the little emperor would fall into his hands, so he simply set fire to them all and wanted to kill them all. Take them all away.
In this way, you can put the blame on yourself.
"quick!"
"Bring people into the palace immediately to put out the fire. We must rescue the emperor. He can't die now!"
Cao Kang shouted to the people around him.
Someone had already taken the people and ran out immediately.
"Sir, this fire came out of nowhere. Before the last batch of guards escaped, they also set a fire in the capital to attract our attention."
"Be careful, they take the opportunity to create chaos and secretly send the emperor out!"
One person came forward and said with cupped hands.
"Well, you're right!"
"But now the city gate is closed. Even if they can come out, they will never be able to escape."
"Pass my order to the people at several city gates to pay close attention to——"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Before Cao Kang finished speaking, a loud sound suddenly came from the direction of the west city gate.
Cao Kang was shocked.
"what happened?"
"what sound?"
"quick!"
"Go and look in the direction of the West City Gate!"
Cao Kang had an ominous premonition in his heart and quickly asked someone to ride a horse and run out quickly.
After a while, one person ran back in a panic.
"grown ups!"
"The west city gate was opened. Our people suffered numerous casualties. According to the surrounding people, dozens of people rushed out on horseback just now!"
The visitor panted and said to Cao Kang.
"What did you say?!"
"How can it be?!"
Cao Kang was shocked. In order to guard the city gates, there were many people at each gate. How could a few dozen people rush through?
Countless casualties?
How did you do it?
What is that loud sound?
Cao Kang had no time to think at this time. These successive changes made Cao Kang feel vaguely out of control.
"Report!"
"grown ups!"
"The fire in the palace has been extinguished and has not spread. However, the emperor's place has been completely burned into ruins. There are many charred corpses, but no corpse as big as the emperor's has been found."
Just when Cao Kang was shocked, the people who went to the palace also ran back on horseback.
After they entered the palace, they ran directly towards the direction of the fire. When they got there, many eunuchs who were putting out the fire were already surrounded.
Although these eunuchs were extremely hungry and had little strength, they still struggled to carry water and put out the fire.
There are a lot of good things here where the emperor is staying. If they are burned down by the fire, it will be troublesome.
And if the fire spreads, then their future dreams of getting rich will be completely shattered. It is with this motivation to save their dreams that the eunuchs did not know where the strength came from, and they blocked the fire here. Inside the house.
Most of the current palaces still use wooden structures, so fire prevention has always been a top priority in the palace.
In addition to drawing water from the nearest well, there are also many water tanks in the palace, and the water in them is always full.
Then there are the fire prevention streets between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, as well as strict control of the use of fire in the palace, etc. to control the fire.
The fire was barely under control.
After Cao Kang's people went in to check, they found many burnt corpses in the ruins.
But they are all the size of a normal person and do not look like a child.
So he quickly came back to report to Cao Kang.
"not good!"
"Someone ran away with the little emperor!"
"quick!"
"Pass my order! All military camp subordinates should catch up with me at all costs and be sure to bring the emperor back to me!"
Cao Kang yelled at his men angrily.
At this time, he no longer bothered to pretend to look for the assassins, and quickly had people chase him.
