Emperors of the Heavens: Summon the Governor of the East Factory at the beginning

Chapter 25: Royal palace defense plan, strike first to gain the upper hand

"Cao Zhengchun."

"The old slave is here."

"This king remembers that the military defense map of the palace has been secretly stored in the Palace of Qinzheng, right?"

"Yes, my lord."

Cao Zhengchun replied with a bow.

Chu Yuan also nodded when he heard this.

"That being the case, when you return to Emperor Jiang Rui tomorrow, secretly print a copy of the palace defense map and send it to me."

"Also, Xu Chu, you have taken away some of the imperial guards around the Palace of Qinzheng in the past few days."

"And Cao Zhengchun, the secret guard under Emperor Jiang Rui, has been handed over to your Dongchang. They must be dealt with as soon as possible!"

"Yes, my lord!"

When Chu Yuan spoke, everyone followed suit.

In their hearts, they are 100% loyal to Chu Yuan.

As for what purpose Chu Yuan needed this defense map for, that was not within their scope of consideration.

…………

Cao Zhengchun was very fast.

The next day, just after noon, a guard from the Dongchang secretly brought a piece of cloth from the palace to Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan unfolded it and saw that it was crisscrossed with criss-crossing paths and was clearly the current palace defense map of the Da Cang Dynasty.

Each defense is marked with the strength of troops, the time of changing defenses, etc., which can be described as extremely detailed.

Only Cao Zhengchun, who is now the general manager of the palace, can complete Chu Yuan's orders so quickly and efficiently in such a short period of time.

You must know that the defense map in the palace is not so easy to obtain, even Xu Chu, who is the commander of the Forbidden Army, cannot do it.

After all, the defense in the palace is not only the responsibility of the Forbidden Army, but there are also secret guards distributed in various places in the palace!
Without a defense plan, Chu Yuan had no idea of ​​the specific guard strength in the palace, so naturally he couldn't attack Emperor Jiang Rui!

As the system said, since the current emperor Jiang Rui cannot be controlled and the other party wants to kill him, what's the use of keeping him?
So Chu Yuan now has no intention of continuing to wait with Jiang Rui and play the cat and mouse game.

Since it is up to you to live and die after all, it is best to act first.

Now Lan Yi, the only celestial man in the palace, has been beheaded by himself, and the ancestor of the royal family has been suppressed by the sunflower ancestor. Now is a good time to do it!
Otherwise, when Emperor Jiang Rui's reinforcements arrive, something may happen!
Although Chu Yuan may not be afraid, it is still troublesome, isn't it?

…………

On the night after the defense map of the palace was obtained, the North Palace was suppressed.

For this operation, Chu Yuan planned to dispatch the evil spirit guard who is good at assassination and extremely fast among the sunflower dark guards, as well as the five commanders of the evil spirit guard.

Unlike Chu Yi and others of the Sunflower Guard, the five commanders of the Evil Guard are not named by numbers.

They are Chu Tian, ​​Chu Di, Chu Xuan, Chu Huang, and Chu Yu!
They are all warriors who have reached the level of Grandmaster, only one step away from being a Grandmaster.

The five of them work together, even if they encounter a great master, relying on the close connection between the evil guards, they can escape with their evil sword skills.

Coupled with the extremely detailed defense map of the palace, the huge palace seemed like a deserted place to them.

Late at night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

As if feeling the restlessness tonight, the moonlight above the capital was blocked by a black mist, without a trace of light.

When the moon sets in the west, the cold air becomes more intense in the dark night.

The Imperial Guards on duty in the palace also felt a little tired, and secretly yawned in groups from time to time.

Fortunately, it will be time to switch defenses soon, at which time they can end their duties and go back to rest.

Time passed slowly, and after about half a cup of tea, finally, there was a group of forbidden troops not far from the palace gate, holding torches and heading towards the city gate.

This situation is all too familiar to the many Imperial Guards on duty.

"Huh? Why is there a team missing?"

Usually two teams of Forbidden Forces hand over together, why is there only one team today?
A trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the captain guarding the gate, but he didn't dig into it and just regarded it as an arrangement from above.

Soon, they greeted them directly, and the two sides officially started the handover.

In the second half of the night, this new team of imperial guards came to patrol and watch the night.

The moment the two gangs handed over, no one noticed.

On the palace wall not far away, dozens of figures in a row were all dressed in night clothes, acting like ghosts.

With a leap of stature, they all broke into the palace.

Its speed of movement, combined with its camouflage, almost blended into the night, making it completely undetectable.

The five people headed by them had sharp auras on their bodies, and each of them had a cold look in their eyes.

With a sweep of his eyebrows, he could avoid the sight of all the forbidden troops and the hidden guards all around.

With another flash of his figure, he walked towards the place where the goal in his heart was, without any extra movement.

It felt like I knew the route in the palace so well that I didn't need to think about it.

After the five people, there were dozens of assassins whose whole bodies were covered with only a pair of cold eyes.

Their whole bodies were wrapped in night clothes, like ghosts in the dark night, unobservable!

These dozens of people are all masters of evil spirit guards, and their cultivation bases are all above the fifth level of congenital.

Although they are few in number, they can all be said to be the elite among the evil guards.

He is extremely skilled in the art of assassination and stealth.

Even if he follows the five commanders and sneaks into the palace, he is as invisible as a ghost.

Although the palace is large, the purpose of these dozens of people is very clear.

That is the Qinzheng Hall located not far from the northeast side of the palace.

According to the information provided by Cao Zhengchun, Emperor Jiang Rui did not know whether it was because of Chu Yuan's incident in the court that day that he suffered a great loss of face.

As a result of this period of time, I often suffered from insomnia, so I have been staying in the Palace of Qinzheng for four or five days until dawn.

Of course, as the main hall where the emperor handles political affairs, there is naturally an inner hall.

There is also a place to rest in the inner hall, and there is no shortage of beds.

It is unknown whether Emperor Jiang Rui sat up all night in Qinzheng Hall or rested on his bed until dawn.

Of course, this is also not within the scope of the five commanders of the Evil Guard.

Their only purpose this time is to fulfill the prince's order and kill Emperor Jiang Rui!

Therefore, as long as they made sure that Emperor Jiang Rui was in the Qinzheng Hall, they were not interested in anything else.

The distance between the palace gate and Qinzheng Hall is dozens of miles.

But for the evil-preventing guards who have memorized the defense plans in the palace and whose lowest strength is at the fifth level of innate strength.

But it didn't make them feel the slightest crisis or deep timidity. It just took more time.

Along the way, a group of dozens of people seemed to be one body, and they did not alert any of the Imperial Guards while walking.

After about a stick of incense, the three characters "Qinzheng Palace" were finally reflected in everyone's eyes.
