Early next morning.
There is still one last day of preparation time before the counterattack plan.
The leaders of the Four Alliances have already asked their spies to visit the locations in batches. As for who is responsible for which city gate, Gu Xiaotian will not take care of it anymore. The Four Alliances can just negotiate among themselves.
Good news is coming one after another.
Reinforcements from Jianghu sects also arrived one after another.
For example, although Dong Haiyuan's sect has declined, as soon as he received the message from Taibai's disciples, he integrated everyone in the sect and rushed towards Kyoto.
Gu Xiaotian naturally handed over the people of these sects to the Four Leagues. What should be done and how to do it was under the command of the Four Leagues.
After leaving the city, Gu Xiaotian would return to the secret passage at this time every day to contact the people from the Secret Investigation Department, which could be regarded as synchronizing the news outside the city with Sun Gusheng.
But today, Gu Xiaotian felt a little strange.
He stood at the entrance of the secret passage and waited for the person who would contact him every day from the Secret Investigation Department. However, it was almost an hour and the person he was meeting with did not appear.
Gu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel worried. He stood at the entrance of the secret passage and looked around several times, only to see silence inside.
As noon approached, there was still no one arriving in the secret passage. Gu Xiaotian frowned, but in the end he did not choose to return to the city first.
He and Sun Gusheng were supposed to cooperate internally and externally, but if they went back at this time, they might cause trouble.
The more this moment comes, the more cautious we should be.
Gu Xiaotian left slowly. When he left, he looked back at the secret passage again and heard some rustling. He hurried back to take a look and saw that some gravel was falling off in the secret passage, which made him feel a little lost.
Back at the station, Gu Xiaotian could only wait patiently and recharge his batteries.
…
…
In the secret passage, a fierce battle had already occurred.
Chen Haichuan followed Sun Yanlu's instructions and actually came to the secret passage one step earlier.
After waiting all night, Chen Haichuan finally gained something in the early morning.
The subordinate who was responsible for contacting Gu Xiaotian actually entered the secret passage early, but after entering the secret passage, he couldn't help but notice something was wrong.
As a member of the Secret Investigation Department, I am extremely cautious in handling matters.
Over the years, their sense of the energy around them has become much stronger than ordinary people, and even the slightest disturbance cannot be hidden from their eyes.
After entering the secret passage, the subordinate noticed that there was another person besides him in the secret passage.
He did not move forward rashly, but used a special code from the Secret Investigation Department to tell people outside that something had changed in the secret passage.
Afterwards, several subordinates from the Secret Investigation Department entered the secret passage together and had a fierce battle with Chen Haichuan.
However, in the end, the subordinates of the Secret Investigation Department underestimated Chen Haichuan who was hiding in the secret passage. Several subordinates who entered the secret passage together died at the hands of Chen Haichuan.
The rustling sound that Gu Xiaotian heard at that time was the energy generated by Chen Haichuan when he was fighting with the subordinates of the Secret Investigation Department, causing the gravel to fall off.
Chen Haichuan looked at the corpses of his subordinates and smiled disdainfully, then quietly waited in the secret passage for a while. After no one entered, he walked towards the top of the secret passage.
There were many and complicated roads in the secret passage. Chen Haichuan entered it for the first time. Although he had a map in his hand, Sun Yanlu was not very clear about where each secret passage led to.
When the Secret Detective Department originally built this secret passage, they must have taken this into consideration. They set up layers of mechanisms in the secret passage, and also set up many detours in the secret passage, and these detours all lead to just It's just a dead end. As for the real road, it is set up more secretly to prevent such moments from happening.
Chen Haichuan repeatedly ran into obstacles in the secret passage, which made him a little angry.
It was difficult for those agencies to hurt him, but the back and forth trial and error was undoubtedly wearing down Chen Haichuan's patience.
After hitting a wall in a secret passage again, Chen Haichuan fortunately returned to the way he came from and quietly waited here.
In the secret pavilion of the Secret Investigation Department.
The subordinates have already reported what happened in the secret passage to Sun Gusheng.
Sun Gusheng looked sad at this time.
The secret passage has been exposed. As a result, the news outside the city can no longer be synchronized with the inside. What worries him even more is that if Gu Xiaotian can't wait for the contact person to deliver the news, then he may follow it. Entering the city through a secret passage, in this case, the affairs of the secret pavilion will also be exposed.
Now Sun Gusheng is in a dilemma.
Guan Jing was on the side and directly raised the knife and said: "I will go to the secret passage to take a look first. If there is any problem, I can eliminate it early."
Sun Gusheng shook his head, not to mention who was hiding in this secret passage. If he went there, he would hand over all his cards.
Since the other party could discover this secret passage, he would naturally be prepared. Sun Gusheng instinctively felt that if he really let Guan Jing go through this secret passage, it would be as the other party wished.
Sun Gusheng said calmly: "We have to give up the secret route. At least we already know that the Four Alliances will counterattack and enter the city in the future. What we have to do is to block Sun Yanlu in the city."
Sun Gusheng stood up, cleared his throat, and called to stop all his subordinates who were still busy.
In the dark pavilion, all the subordinates of the Secret Investigation Department looked at Sun Gusheng.
Sun Gusheng said impassionedly: "Currently, you are the only ones in Kyoto City. No matter what, we have to survive these two days. You are Kyoto City's last hope!" 33
In the dark pavilion of the Secret Investigation Department, all the members knelt down.
Sun Gusheng waved his hand, and the subordinates of the Secret Investigation Department continued to be busy.
Li Pingping looked at Sun Gusheng's appearance and suddenly said with emotion: "Compared to His Majesty back then, I'm afraid your Highness is even worse."
Sun Gusheng smiled bitterly but said nothing.
In fact, he himself felt that these words were a bit false, but some words he knew were false, but he had to say them, which made him feel much better.
"But Your Highness, you are much luckier than His Majesty back then." Li Pingping thought for a while and then said: "His Majesty back then, we were the only ones behind you, so you had to be careful every step you took, otherwise there would be an abyss ahead. But Your Highness, today you are not the only one with us, you also have him, the hope that all of us are optimistic about."
Hearing this, Sun Gusheng gradually relaxed his brows.
Yes, there is him.
"So, Your Highness, don't think about things being too difficult. No matter whether it is wind or rain, there will always be people walking with you."
"Although he is still very young, he may be more impulsive when it comes to some things, but sometimes we tend to be impulsive. Whether impulsiveness is a blessing or a curse, we will see."
Sun Gusheng nodded and stopped talking, but his eyes changed from the previous confusion to perseverance.
…
…
Outside the Yangxin Hall, the official minister came here.
Sun Yanlu stood in front of the Yangxin Hall early and seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel felt a little uneasy, and unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes tightly, with cold sweat pouring down his back.
After seeing Sun Yanlu, the Minister of Civil Affairs lowered his head and did not dare to look at Sun Yanlu.
Sun Yanlu looked at the sky, smiled and praised: "You are still on time."
The official minister said nothing.
"Since you came as promised, I think you should bring what I want."
Sun Yanlu said with a hint of threat: "You are a smart man, you know the consequences of lying to me."
As soon as these words came out, the official minister immediately became nervous.
With his ability, it would be impossible to find out where Sun Gusheng was hiding, but he and Feiniao had reached some kind of cooperation, and the news he brought at this time was all told to him by Feiniao.
As for whether it is true or false, the Minister of Civil Affairs did not verify it and could not verify it.
After hesitating for a moment, the Minister of Civil Affairs gritted his head, took out the letter he had prepared long ago from his pocket, and presented it with both hands.
Sun Yanlu took the letter with a smile, opened it, looked up at the Minister of Civil Affairs, and said something for no reason.
"I seem to have underestimated you."
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel then slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, I have been investigating for a long time. As for whether it is true or false, I cannot guarantee it."
"It doesn't matter." Sun Yanlu slowly walked to the stove, threw the letter into the stove, and turned it into ashes. He looked at the Minister of Civil Affairs and said with a smile: "At this moment, the Ten Thousand Demons Association is probably really unwilling to cooperate with me. Yes, it’s just that I didn’t expect that Wan Yaohui would find you.”
Listening to Sun Yanlu's words, the Minister of Civil Affairs' heart suddenly rose in his throat.
"Is there anything you want to say to me?"
The Minister of Civil Affairs struggled in his heart, and knelt on the ground with a bang, begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, I was temporarily blinded by lard, please punish me."
Unexpectedly, Sun Yanlu burst out laughing.
The laughter resounded throughout the whole Yangxin Hall, which seemed very scary.
"You are much more real than those ministers. There is nothing wrong with wanting to survive. I won't kill you today, but you should know what to do in the future. Thank her for me. At least she didn't lie to me in this matter. "
The Minister of Civil Affairs slowly raised his head, a little surprised.
He never thought that Sun Yanlu would let him go so easily.
After leaving the Yangxin Hall, the Minister of Libu looked back and breathed a sigh of relief. He only felt a sense of powerlessness all over his body. This chess game was too big, but he was always just a chess piece that could be given up at any time. It was true that sorrow.
Looking at the back of the Minister of Civil Affairs slowly leaving, Sun Yanlu once again looked in the direction of the Secret Investigation Department Ange and said calmly: "My dear nephew, you have done so much, but in the end it seems that nothing can be changed. It's really sad. "
…
…
night.
The city will be attacked tomorrow, and the spies of the Four Leagues have also sent back the news. At this time, the Four Leagues are leading their men to prepare near the four city gates according to the previous sand table deduction.
Gu Xiaotian originally wanted to take people through the secret passage, but he had to be more cautious about what happened today.
He was 100% sure that the rustling sound at that time could not be as simple as gravel falling off.
It should be that deep in the secret passage, someone released his energy, which caused this.
However, Gu Xiaotian did not go inside to investigate, and what he was worried about was naturally what Sun Gusheng was worried about.
In Nuo Da's station, only Gu Xiaotian and Qu Xiaohan were left at this time.
Hanchun City, where Qu Xiaohan is located, is responsible for breaking through the North City Gate. Because Hanchun City has reduced a lot of its troops in the previous battle, so when attacking the city, the North City Gate will naturally be weakened by the other three gates. Naturally, it will also It means changing from the most heavily guarded city gate to the weakest guarded city gate.
Time passed by little by little, but Qu Xiaohan felt a little worried.
All the reinforcements that were supposed to come have arrived, but the only thing missing is the messenger.
Some people died, but not completely...
