"Can you still get the message?"

Zhang Xianhuai asked the captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard beside him.

Qianhu shook his head helplessly, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.

"Commander Zhang, we've lost all news from Taiyuan. The Wang family has also begun preparations, and the entire city of Taiyuan has been sealed off."

He paused, his tone growing heavier.

"News from our brothers in the city cannot be transmitted. We now know almost nothing about the situation in the city."

Zhang Xianhuai nodded slightly, his eyes becoming more profound.

"Got it, everything is still going according to plan."

"Yes, Commander Zhang!"

The captain clasped his fists and accepted the order.

Taiyuan, Wang family.

Wang Qizhao lay lazily on the luxurious couch, his fat body almost occupying the entire couch.

Two young girls in their twenties were carefully massaging his fat body. Their movements were gentle and cautious, but their eyes could not hide the deep fear.

"Master, the Cui family sent us a letter today, asking how our preparations are going."

Wang Yi stood respectfully aside, with his head lowered, not daring to look directly into Wang Qizhao's arrogant eyes, with a hint of caution in his voice.

Wang Qizhao was humming with comfort at this time. When he heard Wang Yi's question, he turned around reluctantly and looked at Wang Yi, with a hint of impatience on his bloated face.

"Just tell them that our Wang family master has prepared 30,000 elite soldiers and 80,000 local soldiers."

His voice was filled with an air of arrogance.

Hearing Wang Qizhao's words, Wang Yi couldn't help swallowing, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"But Master, we only have 3,000 elite soldiers and 40,000 local soldiers. We have almost recruited all the young and strong men in Taiyuan."

His voice trembled slightly, knowing that saying such words might anger the moody head of the family.

Hearing Wang Yi's words, Wang Qizhao sat up suddenly and slapped the girl who was massaging him.

"You useless thing, how did you press this master?"

The little girl was beaten and fell to the ground. She didn't dare to touch her burning face. She could only lower her head. Her body trembled violently with fear. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't dare to cry out loud.

Fortunately, Wang Qizhao did not continue to embarrass her, but instead cast his fierce gaze at Wang Yi who was standing beside him.

"Report whatever I tell you to do. Taiyuan is deserted, but what about the surrounding areas? Aren't those old men and children human beings? Can't women go to war? I don't think so. Continue to recruit soldiers for me. As long as you are a human being, you are a soldier."

There was a mad gleam in his eyes.

"When the Li Tang Dynasty is overthrown, the more you report, the greater the benefits will be. Do you understand?"

Wang Yi nodded quickly and responded respectfully, "Yes, Master."

At night, a group of people in tattered military uniforms swaggered along the streets of Taiyuan. Their steps were light and quick as they headed towards the city gate.

The military uniforms hung loosely on their bodies, fluttering slightly in the night breeze.

The team of defenders responsible for guarding the city were a little confused. They leaned against the city wall and chatted boredly.

What are these recruited soldiers doing here in the middle of the night?

They looked at the group of soldiers slowly walking towards the city gate, and a hint of disdain appeared in their eyes.

They are the royal guards of the Wang family. These soldiers are just a group of low-class people wearing military uniforms. In their eyes, they are like ants.

"Huh, you really think you're something just because you're wearing a military uniform."

One of the defenders sneered, and the others followed suit and laughed.

Seeing them getting closer, the leader of the defending army called out to them.

"You untouchables, are you trying to escape?"

He said this with a forced smile, a cruel glint in his eyes. There would be more fun tonight, and he was already imagining how to torture these "escaped" people.

But when the leader raised his head, the icy murderous intent shot towards the leader of the defenders like a sharp sword, making him shiver involuntarily.

This kind of look is definitely not something a pariah can have.

Before he could ask the next question, a cold light flashed and the Embroidered Spring Sword was unsheathed.

The speed was so fast that the leader of the defending army didn't even have time to react. His head fell to the ground with hot blood, and the blood splattered on the ground, emitting some hot white smoke.

The other defenders also reacted at this time, drawing the swords from their waists, shouting chaotic slogans, but their eyes revealed fear.

The ten men tore off their worn military uniforms, and a row of bright and beautiful flying fish uniforms came into view of everyone.

"Jinyiwei!" Someone shouted, the voice full of fear.

"They are the tyrant's imperial guards!"

This name spread among the defenders in an instant. When many people heard the three words "Jinyiwei", they couldn't help but feel a fear in their hearts and their legs became weak.

"What are you afraid of? There are only ten of them. It will be a great achievement if we kill them."

One of the defenders shouted bravely, but his voice was obviously trembling.

While these so-called elite soldiers of the Wang family were still struggling, the Jinyiwei had already drawn their swords and attacked.

Their movements were coordinated and well-trained, like ferocious cheetahs.

Five people were responsible for stopping the people. They swung the embroidered spring swords in their hands tightly, and each blow was full of fierce momentum.

The other five people were responsible for opening the city gate, and they ran towards the huge and heavy city gate.

Although the gates of Taiyuan were closed at this time, the defense was not as good as during wartime, and the defenders were mostly in a relaxed state.

The five Jinyiwei cooperated with each other and worked together to lift the huge city gate bolt.

The gate of Taiyuan City was slowly opened with a dull creaking sound.

When the defenders on the city wall saw this scene, they also rushed down.

Opening the city gate is a serious crime!

They were well aware of the Wang family's cruel methods, and once the city gates were opened, they would all face a catastrophe.

As long as they kill all ten Jinyiwei and close the door, what happened tonight can be treated as if it never happened, and they will not be punished by the Wang family.

The Jinyiwei retreated while fighting, their eyes still firm and cold, without any panic.

They cleverly used the surrounding environment to deal with the defenders, until one of them took out a fire starter from his waist and quickly lit the fireworks in his hand.

A brilliant firework bloomed in the sky above the gate of Taiyuan city, and the colorful light was particularly dazzling in the night sky, illuminating a small area of ​​the sky.

Just when the defenders were still taking it seriously, flames lit up in the distance. The flames were like a winding dragon and floated towards the city gate at an extremely fast speed.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the earth shaking. That is the sound of thousands of troops galloping, approaching Taiyuan City step by step.
