After Elder Suzaku rushed in from the back door of the Huainan Palace, everyone behind him followed like a tide.

beggar gang is the number one gang in the world, that’s not just what it says, the 28 sub-rudders under its jurisdiction, the strength of any sub-rudder, is comparable to the famous martial arts in the rivers and lakes, as the seven places in the south The Guijinyang Fenrudder, the strongest in the sub-rudder, has a lot of helpers and a lot of elites.
Although Elder Suzaku’s talents are not outstanding among the four elders of the Beggar Gang, he acts cautiously and takes precautions.
Although Qi Ning did not want the Beggar Gang to be involved in this incident, Elder Suzaku still secretly summoned the Beggar Gang experts from nearby Gyeonggi. There were no less than 200 people who could fight.
Qi Ning took advantage of the Queen’s exit from the palace to let Chi Danmei escape from the imperial city. After Chi Danmei escaped, she immediately got in touch with the Beggar Gang, and according to Qi Ning’s instructions, detailed arrangements were made with everyone in the Beggar Gang. negotiate.
Qi Ning judged that although the emperor was not in the palace, he was definitely still in the capital, and there were two places where the emperor was most likely to be imprisoned, one of which was the Huainan Palace.
Elder Suzaku led dozens of beggar gang masters to the Huainan Wangfu tonight, in order to find the whereabouts of the emperor from here.
Of course, Elder Suzaku couldn’t be sure whether the emperor was in the Huainan Palace, but he knew very well that if the emperor wasn’t here, everything would be fine, but if Qi Ning guessed that the emperor was indeed imprisoned here, then Xiao Shaozong would definitely be Arrange people to guard here, and it will inevitably be a fierce battle at that time.
Although Elder Suzaku is not young, he is refreshed and lighthearted this time.
Tonight’s raid on the Huainan Palace, Elder Suzaku made a plan in advance. After negotiating with Chi Danmei, he immediately sent people to inquire about the situation around the Huainan Palace, making sure that the officers and soldiers around the Huainan Palace had been evacuated, and there were no other ambushes. Then he and the ghost Jinyang split the rudder and the rudder master Bai Shenghao divided into two paths, and entered through the front and rear gates of the Huainan Palace at the same time.
The crowd spread out and moved quickly, rushing towards the center of the palace.
There are many courtyards in the palace of Nuoda. Even if the emperor is really under house arrest, it will take a lot of effort to find it, but the most powerful ability of the disciples of the Beggar Gang is to be good at observation. When he was in the courtyard of the palace, he immediately noticed that the other side was also flickering. He stopped at his feet, and his mouth actually let out a crisp chirping like ventriloquism. It is Bai Shenghao.
“Elder!” Bai Shenghao cupped his hands and said, “There are no traces of people in the front yard, and the palace seems to be empty.”
Elder Suzaku nodded and said, “We came from the back yard, and we didn’t find a figure, but we have to be careful.” He looked up and looked In the sky, he whispered: “There are less than five hours left. Within five hours, the emperor must be found. Bai Duozhu, instruct everyone to act according to plan, but must not be taken lightly.”
Bai Shenghao nodded and said yes, and now He turned around and made a gesture to the beggar gang disciple behind him.
It had been arranged in advance that the two brought nearly a hundred people to the palace this time. Of course, it was to prevent an ambush in the palace, but the most important thing was to be ready to search for the palace.
The disciples of the Beggar Gang are good at observing and searching.
Considering that the palace is too big, Elder Suzaku will definitely need a lot of manpower to find the emperor in the deep courtyard.
At the moment, the three disciples are divided into groups of three, and dozens of groups are responsible for an area. Once the enemy is found, a signal is immediately released, and nearby companions can quickly go to support.
Everyone naturally did not delay, but in the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred people dispersed. Elder Suzaku took two people to the east courtyard of the Wangfu, and found a courtyard. After the three entered, they searched the room. No trace of half a person was found. Before going out, he suddenly heard a scream. In the silence, the voice seemed very mournful. Elder Suzaku was startled, knowing that it was not good, he heard the sound. The voice was in the southwest corner, and without hesitation, he led someone to rush over there, and only ran for a short distance, but he heard a shrill
scream .
Elder Vermilion Bird looked even more solemn, and said solemnly: “There is an ambush in this palace, you guys be careful.” The screams appeared in two places, but he couldn’t split into two people to save them, thinking that most of the disciples had not searched yet. Going to the due east, the manpower there is weak, and there are naturally other reinforcements in the southwest corner.
Under the darkness of the night, Elder Suzaku held a black wooden stick, and the wind was blowing as he ran, and his movements were very vigorous.
Suddenly, he heard a faint scream from the west. Elder Suzaku’s face was cold. At this time, he couldn’t care about the other side. He vaguely heard the sound of fighting in front of him. It was a rockery. Someone was fighting on the edge of the rockery. Elder Suzaku gave a low voice. The black wooden stick was a little bit on the ground. They were besieging one person, but Elder Suzaku had not arrived yet. One of them had already stabbed the besieged person with one sword, and then several figures seemed to have noticed that Elder Suzaku was rushing over.
Elder Suzaku flew over and saw two corpses lying on the ground. When he looked at the clothes, it was his disciple. The man who was stabbed was also a disciple of the Beggar Gang. He picked up that person in the past, the mouth was bleeding, and the breath was weak: “There is…. there is an ambush…!” He tilted his head and died.
Suzaku knew that the three disciples must be searching, but they were suddenly attacked.
He had just seen three or four figures of the other party, and screams came from other places one after another. Naturally, many disciples were attacked. From this, it seems that an ambush has been set up in this palace.
There is an ambush in the palace, which means that the emperor is likely to be placed under house arrest in the palace.
“Come with me!” Elder Suzaku said in a low voice, and led the two of them to chase in the direction where the figures were evacuated.
There was a lot of murder in the palace, but there was a dead silence under the imperial city.
Although thousands of soldiers and horses are under the city, both the Xuanwu Camp and the Tiger God Camp are the elite soldiers of the Empire. The military discipline is strict. The soldiers were already surrounded by the city late last night. None of the soldiers were tired.
In order to save energy, Xiao Shaozong had already ordered the soldiers to sit on the ground, but the army formation was still orderly, without the slightest clutter.
Not only the soldiers, but also the officials of the court, all sat on the ground. Some officials were pampered. After spending a day in the city, they were very tired and even thought about going home to rest. But at this time, who would dare to leave, let alone. The respected old ministers can persevere, and others naturally dare not say a word.
The four gates of the imperial city were surrounded, so Xiao Shaozong naturally not only stayed at the main gate, but also rode around the imperial city during the day to boost his morale.
In the darkness of the night, Xiao Shaozong was riding a horse, the eunuch Guihe also followed him on horseback, and not far behind was followed by more than a dozen cavalry.
Xiao Shaozong looked up at the sky, and then murmured, “Is it almost Hai Shi?”
“Your Highness, we will enter Hai Shi in a few moments.” Gui He said, “There are only twelve hours left before Qi Ning said. It
will be five hours later.”
Xiao Shaozong nodded slightly, with a smile on his lips, “I think this Protector of the Kingdom must be very anxious right now.”
“He claims to be able to find evidence, which is simply fantastic.” Gui He lowered his voice. He sneered: “Even if he is given another 120 hours, he will never get his wish.”
“You are wrong.” Xiao Shaozong shook his head and said, “He is not looking for evidence, but waiting!”
“Wait?”
Xiao Shaozong He turned his head and glanced at him, and said lightly: “You really think Qi Ning is for the safety of the Queen, so you let her out of the palace?”
Guihe was startled, realized something, and frowned: “Your Highness is saying that the Queen is leaving the city. When we were there, there were people from Qi Ning
mixed in?”
“Qining sneaked into the palace, and did not expect that this king would quickly besiege the imperial city.” Xiao Shaozong said: “When the imperial city is besieged, Qi Ning will not want to send people out of the city. , it’s too late. He was trapped and fighting, not really fighting to the death. From beginning to end, he was procrastinating, trying to find the possibility of turning the situation around.”
Gui He said softly: “How can he turn the situation around?”
“In his heart, this king has left him a fatal and only weakness.” Xiao Shaozong kept a smile on his lips: “He feels that as long as he takes advantage of this weakness, he has a chance to turn defeat into victory.” He glanced at Guihe and said. : “You naturally know what the weakness I’m talking about?”
Guihe said, “It’s Xiao…!” He didn’t say what he said, and looked back at the cavalry guards behind him. Distance, but don’t have to worry about the conversation being heard by them.
Xiao Shaozong nodded slightly: “Yes, in Qi Ning’s heart, he must feel that as long as he finds him, he will be able to turn defeat into victory.”
“My lord, in fact… this servant thinks that there are many long dreams in the night, in fact, he should have been killed long ago… .!” Gui He raised his hand and made a downward cut gesture before continuing, “In this way, there will be no hidden dangers.”
“You know, when the two masters face off, what attracts them the most is What is it?” Xiao Shaozong chuckled lightly.
Guihe said: “The servants are stupid, I ask the lord to teach me!”
“Weakness.” Xiao Shaozong said calmly: “When a master is fighting an enemy, he will naturally try his best to cover up his weaknesses so as not to be discovered by his opponents, but what he has to do is It is to find out the opponent’s flaws and defeat the enemy with one blow, and the opponent has to do the same.” He looked up at the night sky and murmured: “Everyone knows that the opponent must have weaknesses, but we must really find out the opponent’s weaknesses. Weakness, but that’s not easy. Qi Ning’s weakness is that he will never give up that person, this king sees through his weakness, and knows to use his weakness to attack, so he has become a turtle in a urn.”
Gui He Wei Nodding, but not speaking.
“He felt that he had also found the weakness of the king, and wanted to strike back, but… he didn’t understand that when you really found the weakness of the other party and launched a counterattack, if you were not careful, you would fall into deeper troubles. Trap.” Xiao Shaozong said slowly: “Qi Ning used the Queen to leave the city and let his people infiltrate it. That person must have brought out Qi Ning’s plan to counterattack. He proposed to find evidence for twelve hours. His plan to fight back buys time.”
Gui He slightly changed his color and said, “Since the lord knows his tricks, why…?”
“Because this king wants him to understand that in this scene, there is only one protagonist, and that is this king.” Xiao Shaozong said calmly: “His so-called intelligence is just jumping up and down in the hands of this king. It’s just a joke. Let him step down before his drama is finished. He must be uncomfortable. In that case, let his drama continue. When the time comes and let him see blood everywhere, this king can let him really understand , he himself is just a pitiful worm who let this king step on his feet, and he wants to play madly, but it’s just a joke.”
“The king is saying that he will send someone to search for that person’s whereabouts in the city?”
Xiao Shaozong said with a smile: “With his wisdom, he will definitely think of the palace, and he will definitely put the last power he can use into this plan.”
“He… What power does he have?”
“Some knowable or unknowable forces.” Xiao Shaozong said: “Since it is the last fight, he will not spare his strength. In the last twelve hours, he wants to use this king’s weakness to make a last move, and this king Waiting for him, let him send the last power to the king’s knife, at least this can really solve his last power in the capital once and for all.” There was a relaxed expression between the eyebrows: “Since he has to give a big gift at the end In front of this king, why should this king reject people thousands of miles away?”
