(Thanks to book friends Che Suifeng, Ranji, and Endless Is You for tipping and adding more updates)
Chen Xun did not come into contact with these golden soldiers, and headed eastward, quickly climbing onto the roof at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

Because the equipment on his body was too heavy, a large number of tiles shattered with every step, making a very loud noise.

The entire Jinglingdong Palace was "woke up" inside and outside.

However, compared to the awakening speed of the surrounding Jin soldiers, Chen Xun's speed was faster.

In a few breaths, he arrived at the palace wall and jumped directly from the roof to the top of the wall.

At this time, he definitely didn't care about hiding. He just stepped on the top of the wall, smashed the tiles, and used the strength to cross half the street. Then he took a big step and fell directly into the alley across the street.

The pursuers are still in Jinglingdong Palace.

……

Chen Xun, who was out of pursuit, did not return, but made a large circle and came to the west of Jinglingdong Palace, crossed the Imperial Street, and came to the outside of the Shangshu Provincial Wall.

Since the Jin people entered the inner city, the ministers of the Song Dynasty were concentrated in Shangshu Province, and many officials in important positions were not allowed to go home.

This was the information Pei Ren gave Chen Xun, so Chen Xun planned to venture into Shangshu Province again.

At this time, Jinglingdong Palace on the east side of Royal Street has become brightly lit, and the noise can be heard throughout the world.

It is estimated that Zhao Ji's death made it difficult for the Jin people to accept, because the last bargaining chip in their hands was gone.

Of course, Shangshu Province, which was only one imperial street away, also heard the noise, and everyone inside was awakened, leaving Chen Xun no longer able to sneak in.

He climbed over the wall into the courtyard, hid in a corner, and listened quietly to the goings on in the courtyard.

The discussion inside the only courtyard was the most intensive. The other courtyards were much quieter than the one inside.

Except for the Jin people guarding the gate of Shangshu Province, there were no Jin people patrolling the outside and inside, so Chen Xun made up his mind to do more.

According to Pei Ren's investigation, nine out of ten Song officials currently staying in Shangshu Province are surrendering factions, and one is wavering. Chen Xun really does not want to miss this opportunity. It is rare for surrendering factions to gather together.

Pulling out the Mo Dao again, Chen Xun first entered the second courtyard, and then broke in through the back window of the first main room.

At this time, more than 20 people had gathered in the lobby, and they were all in a panic. They must have received the news of Zhao Ji's death.

Suddenly an "iron" man rushed in from the rear window, and everyone was shocked.

"Come here, there's an assassin!!" someone shouted loudly.

Chen Xun knew that he didn't have much time left for him, so he hurried forward to kill them regardless of the fact that these people were unarmed.

The opponent had almost no defense and his combat effectiveness was close to zero, which made Chen Xun's killing speed extremely fast.

Four Song soldiers from the Forbidden Army rushed in from outside the gate, but they didn't stop Chen Xun in an instant, and followed these high-ranking Song court officials to hell.

His wish fulfilled, Chen Xun didn't stop. After rushing out from the gate, he headed directly towards the city wall. He waved his knife to clear the way for anyone blocking the way without hiding. He was as fast as a galloping horse.

The main force of the Jin people in the city was still searching to the east of Jinglingdong Palace, allowing Chen Xun to successfully climb over the inner city wall from the west of the city and hide in the outer city.

Then, they all went smoothly to the base of the outer city wall slightly south of Kaiyuanmen. The defenders on the wall had not yet received news of the chaos in the inner city, and most of them were sleeping.

Chen Xun pulled out two steel guns from his back, inserted them into the cracks in the bricks, used his strength to climb up the outer city wall, knocked over several defenders on this section of the wall, and climbed down the wall again.

Xiao Hei was released from the zoo and no harness was needed. Chen Xun jumped on the horse and galloped away.

……

Twenty miles west of Kaifeng City, Banqiao Town is located on the north bank of the Bianhe River.

Because there is a very wide stone bridge connecting both sides of the Bianhe River, a market town was formed here.

On the evening of April [-], Chen Xun met Pei Ren here from Kaifeng. "Commander, what you did this time is too big. Do we need to publicize that you did it in the future?" Pei Ren still has not completely calmed down the surprise and excitement in his heart until now.

Before, I thought that Chen Xun was just going to assassinate Zhao Ji. Who would have thought that Chen Xun would go and come back and massacre the minister's province as well.

"Don't publicize it this time, otherwise you will offend too many people." Chen Xun shook his head.

After killing so many scholar-officials this time, their families, their relatives and friends, their colleagues, and even their class will not let the person who did it go.

Although the current strength of the military government, even if they knew it, there was nothing they could do against Chen Xun, but it would pose an obstacle to the military government's subsequent absorption of elites.

Knowing and guessing are not the same concepts.

As long as Chen Xun himself does not admit it, even if everyone can guess that Chen Xun did it in the future, the impact on the military government's absorption of elites will be very small.

On the contrary, based on what Chen Xun did last night, any scholar who defected to the military government would be cast aside.

Even the Jin people didn't do such a thing, so Chen Xun did it.

Too cruel!

"Who are they?" Chen Xun asked. It was dark last night and he didn't know any senior officials, so he didn't know who he had killed.

"The capitulation faction in the Song Dynasty basically let you take care of them." Pei Ren began to count them one by one: "Li Bangyan, Bai Shizhong, Zhao Ye, Wang Xiaodi, Cai Mao, Li Chu and other senior officials were all here last night."

"So neat?" Chen Xun was a little surprised.

Who hasn’t had a headache, something happened at home, or wants to take a break? It’s so rare to be so tidy.

"Because the main force of the Jin people left the city, the Marshal of the Jin Army was afraid that these Song officials would collude and cause trouble, so he gathered them all in the Shangshu Province for easy custody and supervision." Pei Ren explained.

"So, the Jin people helped me." Chen Xun said happily. At this time, the culprit who harmed the people of Hebei and Kaifeng was basically 'judged' by himself: "Where is Sun Bo? He is not here ?”

"He was not in Shangshu Province last night, but he did not escape." Pei Ren replied: "He was in Jinling East Palace last night. It is said that he was taking care of Zhao Ji. He lived in a room in the back hall and was also taken care of by you. killed."

When Chen Xun thought about it, he was probably the middle-aged man he asked for directions last night.

What a coincidence. He was not given the opportunity to report his name at the time and did not know that he was Sun Bo. Fortunately, he was not merciless at the time.

"What a coincidence!" Pei Ren asked, "Commander, what should we do next? Do we want to send troops to capture Kaifeng City?"

"No, Kaifeng City must be left to the Jin people for the time being." Chen Xun replied.

"Why?" Pei Ren was puzzled.

"The city of Kaifeng is in the hands of the Jin people, and the Jin people seem to be tied here. As long as the city of Kaifeng is not lost, we can build a battlefield around Kaifeng." Chen Xun replied: "Otherwise, it will be troublesome if a large number of Jin people start to move. too much."

"But what about the people in Kaifeng City?" Pei Ren asked.

"I'll give you something." Chen Xun did not answer the question directly.

"You say."

"Before, you said that the Imperial Army was imprisoned in the south wing of the outer city. Are you sure you can rescue them?" Chen Xun asked.

"It's not difficult. In fact, the main reason why the imperial army was locked up was because of Zhao Ji's order. There are not many golden soldiers guarding the imperial army's prisoners." Pei Ren replied.

"Is it possible to rescue these forbidden troops and then give them weapons to cause chaos in Kaifeng City?" Chen Xun tried to describe the principles of street fighting in simple terms: "Let them occupy a territory in the city and rely on geographical advantages and The Jin army entangled and caused the Jin people's 'Kaifeng' backyard to catch fire."

"Why did those Song soldiers do this?" Pei Ren couldn't understand.

With the previous combat strength, state and fighting will of those forbidden troops, how could it be possible to achieve Chen Xun's vision.
