I brought down Bai Yueguang by selling miserably

"Ridiculous." Lin Wei sternly said, "Open the gate of the palace and let the guards go to the water room outside the palace to fetch water."

Su Mingyu bandaged the wound on his body again, and walked back to Shengmingjiao along the barren jungle with Mudel.

After traveling for dozens of days, they came to the foot of the mountain where the main rudder of Shengmingjiao was.

Su Mingyu stopped Mu Deer who was about to move forward: "Wait."

"What's wrong?" Mudel looked back at him.

"There is an ambush." ​​Su Mingyu said, he pointed to the swords and crossbows densely covered on the branches of the cang tree not far away: "I'm afraid they will capture the Holy Ming Sect soon."

"If we can't go back to Shengming Cult, where else can we go?" Mudel frowned.

"Leave this place first." Su Mingyu took Mu Deer back and turned back.

Mu Deer followed Su Mingyu, feeling a little uneasy in his heart: "Looking at their posture, I'm afraid this time it's for real."

"We can only act first." Su Mingyu said.

"How to strike first, I am afraid that there is more than one sect dealing with the Shengming Sect."

"The reason why the Shengming Sect was labeled as such is that apart from the many evil techniques it teaches, the more important thing is that it used to be a pawn of the previous dynasty, and it is an old force that the current court wants to get rid of." Su Mingyu said: "Look at Jianghu. It seems to be a Jianghu, but it is not exactly a Jianghu, he is closely related to the court."

Mu Deer looked at Su Mingyu in surprise: "You want to... force the palace?"

"Brother Mu, I know your nature, and I don't intend to hide it from you." Su Mingyu said: "If you want to quit now, I will not stop you."

"I'm a person who makes a living on the tip of a knife. How can this matter scare me." Mudel calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "Have you planned this for a long time?"

"Well." Su Mingyu responded: "I originally planned to wait for the Red Slaughter Mechanism Beast to be manufactured, but they pushed too hard. Once they attack the Holy Ming Sect and find the manufacturing site of the Red Slaughter Mechanism Beast, everything will be difficult." It’s done. As for military power, we can only make plans after capturing the palace.”

Mudel didn't expect that he got on the pirate ship in a daze, but he didn't regret it, and he still had a faint sense of excitement to do something big.

He followed Su Mingyu to a rather deserted residence.

There is a giant mechanical bird parked outside the residence.Su Mingyu pushed open the door and saw that Xu Changjun had left Shengmingjiao and came here.

Xiao Shize was the first to see Su Mingyu, got up and said, "Brother Wang."

Seeing Su Mingyu, Xu Changjun walked over: "Why did you come back now? All the sects have surrounded the Shengming Sect. The people in the Shengming Sect were panicked. I asked Liang Antong to stay at the Shengming Sect to calm people's hearts. I had no choice but to flee to this place for discussion." countermeasures."

He gave an overview of the whole situation, and finally realized Su Mingyu's strangeness: "Are you injured?"

He made a gesture to check the wound on Su Mingyu's body, but was stopped by Su Mingyu.

Su Mingyu walked to the desk: "How many soldiers and horses do we have?"

"There are less than [-] soldiers and horses left in the remnants of the previous dynasty." Xiao Shize said: "If you count the [-] soldiers and horses in Xiao Rujing's hands, you can barely make up [-]. But in Xiao Rujing's hands There are only [-] soldiers and horses in the imperial city. There are only [-] soldiers and horses available in the imperial city."

"Will Xiao Rujing help us?" Xu Changjun asked anxiously.

"If it's to capture the imperial palace, Xiao Rujing will definitely help," Su Mingyu said.

"Once the palace is breached, the Royal Forest Army will fight first, followed by the guards, and the army of the same general who is closest to the imperial city. There are about [-] soldiers and horses in total." Su Mingyu said: "When we capture the palace It must be shortened to one hour, so as to seize the opportunity before the support from the same family army arrives."

"There are more than [-] troops in the imperial forest army and guards combined. It's not easy to capture the palace." Xu Changjun said distressedly.

Su Mingyu spread out the topographic map of the palace on the table.

"There are three major pools in the palace, namely Huaqing Pool, Muguang Pool and Chaoxi Pool. The three pools are closer to the Harem, but farther away from other palaces, especially the Miscellaneous House, the Imperial Dining Room and the Qianqing Palace."

"Their daily water comes from several wells in the palace." Su Mingyu marked several red circles on the landmarks: "There are large oil storage rooms around the imperial dining room, and the handy rooms are mostly made of wooden tiles. Shaped structure. The distance between the rooms is very close, and the corners of the eaves are against each other, which is very easy to catch fire."

"Brother Wang, do you mean attacking with fire?" Xiao Shize said.

"We have about ten large mechanical birds in total." Xu Changjun said: "Two of them threw huge rocks from the sky to seal the well, and the other eight threw fire."

"The handyman's room is far from the three pools and close to the palace gate. At that time, water will be transported from outside the palace, and the palace gate will be wide open. We will send a special guard to pretend to be a handyman in the water room, and put the bucket full of oil transported into the palace.

The fire was bound to grow even bigger, and the royal guards and guards in the palace were busy participating in the fire fighting.We brought [-] soldiers and horses into the palace while the palace gate was wide open. "

"The men and horses of the various sects are ready to go under the Shengming Sect. We must inform Xiao Rujing as soon as possible to make plans." Xu Changjun said.

"I'll send someone to notify Xiao Rujing right away." Xiao Shize said, and he turned to look at Su Mingyu: "Brother Wang, why are you still frowning, as long as we capture the palace, everything will be solved. "

"Capturing the imperial palace is not the most difficult thing, but what is difficult is everything that will be faced after capturing the imperial palace." Su Mingyu said: "The Red Slaughter Mechanism Beast has not yet been fully completed, and the military power is still scattered in the hands of the generals. What exactly we have captured Whether it is a body, and how long we can hold on to this body, depends on our fortune."

Now is not the best time to force the palace, Xiao Shize knows that this is closer to a helpless move.

But the mutiny back then also came so suddenly, if everything could be fully prepared and figured out gradually, there wouldn't be so many accidents in the world.

After several days of sunny days, the snow on the ground has melted.

The continuous cloud of fish scales is spread in the vast blue sky, which looks extremely quiet.

"Tomorrow should be a sunny day." Xu Changjun said: "Back then they killed us all, and what we did was nothing more than retaliation."

"Well." Su Mingyu said in a deep voice: "I want to kill Li Lan with my own hands, as well as the generals who were stationed in Lingcheng back then, and completely overthrow the current dynasty, so that there will be no more wars in Xiao Kingdom."

The next day was sunny, and Xiao Rujing's [-] troops in the imperial city had been stationed in the suburbs a few days ago.Including Xiao Shize's former troops, there are a total of [-] troops.

Three days ago, Su Mingyu issued an order in the army that all soldiers must lie down day and night and train from You to Mao.

Today, they have adapted to the environment of night combat.

After dusk, the patrol guards woke up the sleeping soldiers in the camp, and all the troops took the quick-firing crossbow that Su Mingyu had remodeled a year ago, and lined up in front of the camp.

Lu Mengyi, a general of the old army in the former dynasty, gave his final speech in front of the ten thousand army formation. The evening sun slanted on his resolute side face: "Although the enemy army has an advantage in numbers, we have companies with faster arrow shooting speeds. Crossbow. When the enemy shoots two arrows, we can shoot four. Our armor is sewn with fire raccoons, which can better get in and out of the fire. After two hours, if the palace is on fire, the enemy's army will be in chaos .We took the opportunity to break into the palace and take back everything we lost!!"

"Kill!" "Kill!!"

"Invincible, invincible!!"

Su Mingyu looked away from the front of the Wanjun formation, and Mudel came from a distance: "The dozens of water houses outside the palace have all been bought, and the only one that questioned our intentions and refused to cooperate has been bought." Imprisoned in the dark compartment under the water room."

"En." Su Mingyu replied.

Xu Changjun jumped off his horse and tied the horse rope to a tung tree beside him: "Ten giant mechanical birds have parked in another suburb closest to the imperial palace, and the boulders have been selected according to the diameter of the well in the imperial city. .If a boulder hits a well, the boulder will be stuck in the wall of the well below, making it difficult to draw water."

"It seems that the fire in the palace may not be extinguished tonight." There was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, and he put his hands on Su Mingyu's shoulders. Su Mingyu instinctively felt a chill: "Uncle Yanhuang."

"If the imperial palace is captured this time, I will definitely ask Shi Ze to give you the largest mansion in the imperial city as your home." Xiao Rujing said kindly.

Su Mingyu didn't reply, and Xiao Rujing was not annoyed either. He patted Su Mingyu's shoulder and said back, "I'll go and see how Shi Ze is getting ready."

"Even if the military power can be recovered smoothly after the capture of the palace, Xiao Rujing will still be a disaster." Xu Changjun said in a low voice after watching Xiao Rujing walk away.

"The soldiers and horses in his hands are still useful to us, and he didn't turn against us on the surface. It's not a last resort, so it's not good to fight him." Su Mingyu said.

"When will we act?" Xu Changjun asked.

"At midnight, when everyone is sleeping soundly." Su Mingyu said.

At the end of the alley in the imperial city, the watchman rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out of the courtyard, starting a night of toil.

The sky is dotted with a few scattered stars, and there are a few lights that look like candles.

"It's so late, and there are still people setting off Kongming lanterns." He murmured, looking away bored, picked up the gong and walked up the empty street.

At midnight, hundreds of flaming crossbows shot at the oil room next to the imperial dining room, igniting a raging fire.

The oil tank exploded, and the house was instantly reduced to ashes. The fire quickly spread to the side service room and imperial dining room.

Swords and crossbows are still going around fanning the flames.

The people in the handy room were awakened, there was a sea of ​​fire outside the room, and there was a faint sound of boulders falling into the water.

After a while, there was a lot of noise around, and the fire had spread to Shangyisi, Huanyiyuan, Silijian, and was spreading to Qianqing Palace.

"It's on fire, come quickly, come and put out the fire." The maids and eunuchs rushed to tell each other.

People from the Royal Forest Army and patrolling guards heard the sound, and some people went to draw water from the well, only to find that the well had been blocked with huge stones.

"Go and inform the commander." The deputy leader of the Imperial Forest Army said: "The rest of the troops follow me to put out the fire."

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is not well, the servant's room is on fire." Several shouts came from outside the Qianqing Palace, and the head of internal affairs yelled a few words outside the door, and had no choice but to push the door open: "Your Majesty, the servant's room is on fire!"

Li Lan was enjoying the pleasures in the boudoir with his concubine, when he heard this, he said angrily: "It's absurd! You come to tell me about such a trivial matter, what does the House of Internal Affairs do?"

The head of internal affairs hastily said: "But the wells around the service room are blocked by boulders."

"Wouldn't you go to Huaqing Pool to carry water if you're blocked? No matter how bad you are, there are Muguang Pool and Chaoxi Pool. What an idiot." Li Lan picked up the bedside decoration and threw it at the eunuch lying on the ground in front of the bed: "Come to bother me again! , watch your head."

The head of internal affairs retreated in dismay, and the palace was in chaos at this time.

The miscellaneous room was too far away from Huaqing Pool, and members of the imperial forest army and guards joined the firefighting team.

But the tile-roofed houses were too closely connected, and all the oil houses caught fire.It is really a drop in the bucket.

Lin Wei, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, grabbed the Chief of Internal Affairs who came out of the Qianqing Palace and asked, "What does the Emperor say?"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is busy. He said let us use the water from Huaqing Pool to deal with it."

"Ridiculous." Lin Wei sternly said, "Open the gate of the palace and let the guards go to the water room outside the palace to fetch water."

"It's not yet the time to enter the court. Without the emperor's will, how can we open the gate of the palace without permission."

"There is a fire in the handyman's room. If you can't solve it, don't even want your head."

The head of internal affairs immediately changed his mind when he heard the words, and the emperor's "personal decree" spread to the guards at the palace gate, and hundreds of waterwheels from the water room entered the palace overnight.

Lin Wei commanded the water truck to march towards the fire-burned area near the Qianqing Palace, and arrived at the Prison of Rituals. Soldiers from the Imperial Forest Army helped carry the water bucket down.

The people in the water room opened the lid and splashed it on the corner of the eaves.The light of the fire jumped up a few minutes, and the burning wood made a violent crackling sound.

The soldier on the side felt something strange, and stepped forward to snatch the bucket and smell it: "No, it's oil!"
