The leader of the men in black walked forward quickly with brisk steps.
After a brief exchange of glances with He Ji, he turned around without hesitation and led his men to launch a fierce attack on Prince Yu's secret guards.
Xiao Qi always followed He Ji closely, and naturally noticed the look the two had just exchanged.
He was full of curiosity and asked cautiously, "Boss, what happened between you two just now? Did you know each other?"
Most of the palace soldiers were He Ji's loyal supporters. At this critical moment, they would follow his lead and obey all his orders and commands.
On the other side, February was already engaged in a fierce battle with those men in black, and was overwhelmed and unable to protect himself.
He Ji and Wang Tao exchanged glances quickly, then lowered their voices and warned the people around them, "Don't get serious later, just cooperate and act out the scene."
"Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem. Just act like you've been captured alive. If the situation is really urgent, just play dead."
"Remember?"
Although he had no idea about the intention behind He Ji's action, Xiao Qi knew very well that He Ji would never harm them, so he nodded in agreement without hesitation.
He Ji had no doubt in his heart that Xiao Qi and the others would reveal even a little bit of these things.
He paused for a moment and then added, "Wait a moment. After we leave, the guys who are in charge of pretending to be dead should quickly go to No. 6 Yangliu Hutong in the south of the city to pass on the message and inform them that the mission has been successfully completed."
"Yes, sir!" Those people looked serious, not daring to slack off at all.
At this moment, they deeply felt that they seemed to have been drawn into an unknown vortex of struggle.
After all, being trusted by Constable He and being entrusted with an important task is a rare recognition.
At the same time, on the other side, Er Yue keenly noticed that they had been standing silently and watching coldly. Suddenly, an unknown fire surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but raise his voice and shout.
"What are you all standing there like idiots? Have you all forgotten the purpose of your visit? Hurry up and do something!"
Hearing this, He Ji suddenly came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly responded: "Ah? Oh...oh, oh, your Excellency is right, I will be right over."
After saying that, he hurriedly raised the long sword in his hand, waving it while shouting to the brothers beside him.
"Brothers, follow me and charge in to wipe out the bandits' lair. No one will be left alive!" In an instant, the shouts of killing were deafening and resounded through the sky.
Under the leadership of He Ji, the offensive launched by this group of palace soldiers seemed to be massive and murderous at first glance.
However, a closer look would reveal that they had no plan at all and were simply swinging their weapons recklessly, failing to cause any real damage to the enemy at all.
However, when it comes to the skill of faking death, they can be said to have mastered the essence of it.
Even Zhou Heng had to admire He Ji's unique way of teaching his subordinates.
It was unexpected that without any discussion, they were still able to work closely with me and act out this scene together as if they were in perfect sync.
The thing that Xuan Yelan was most thankful for this time was that he brought An Ning with him.
Because taking her with you is like carrying a universal treasure trove that can do everything.
No matter what kind of medicine it is, as long as he needs it, An Ning can prepare it.
As secret guards, Er Yue and his gang's martial arts are naturally extraordinary.
Although He Ji and Wang Tao took the lead in the passive resistance, it was not easy to subdue them in a short period of time.
Although secret guards usually undergo special training on the use of drugs, the people sent by Zhou Heng this time carried a modified version carefully developed by An Ning. Even a master like Ye Yi could be drugged, let alone these few people in front of them?
So when Er Yue saw the soldiers falling one after another, he was furious and furious.
"He Ji! What kind of rubbish are you bringing with you? How dare you dream of arresting bandits with such a mob?" Er Yue shouted angrily.
He Ji's arm was covered in blood, but he had actually cut himself on purpose to make the scene more realistic.
At this moment, he looked haggard, and his expression seemed extremely panicked and frustrated. He replied tremblingly: "Your Excellency, I really did not expect that these bandits would be so fierce and powerful..."
"My lord, what should we do now? I can't hold on any longer!" a soldier shouted in panic.
Er Yue finally broke down. He pushed away the man in black with all his strength and shouted at the top of his voice: "I don't know what to do! Hurry up and tell your men to protect us and evacuate here as soon as possible!"
However, before he could finish his words, two more men in black quickly ran up to him.
With a "whoosh" sound, a handful of white powder fell on his astonished face like snowflakes.
Almost at the same moment, there was a dull "bang" sound.
Er Yue's body fell backwards like a puppet with its strings cut. After falling heavily to the ground, there was no movement at all. It was obvious that he had fainted.
Immediately afterwards, there were several continuous "dong dong dong" sounds, and the rest of the people also collapsed to the ground one after another, unconscious.
After making sure that all the secret guards in the palace had been taken down... He Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Tao cleared his throat, coughed a few times, and stared at the "corpse" lying motionless on the ground.
In a serious tone with a hint of warning, he said, "Alright, stop pretending to be dead! Don't forget what I told you before? When you get to the city, don't show up again for a while. Remember, don't let anyone notice your whereabouts."
Those guys were not stupid either, and they naturally knew the deep meaning behind Wang Tao's words.
After all, they had come up the mountain in a mighty procession with drums and gongs beating. It would be a pipe dream for them to retreat so easily and unscathed.
And even if they returned injured, Prince Yu would never let them go easily.
Lao Qin, who was standing at the front of the team, nodded slightly, indicating that he had understood the key.
He responded respectfully: "Please rest assured, sir. I will keep it in mind."
After saying that, he led the others and quickly disappeared into the night.
