Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 451 Night Attack on the Palace (asking for monthly tickets)

The hour of Hai!

There was about another hour before ion time. In a secret courtyard, there were no lights on, only the dim moon in the sky illuminating the courtyard.

Look at the moon in the sky, and there are a few dark clouds floating by from time to time.

At this time, quite a few people had gathered in the courtyard.

Liu Futong, Chen Jiusi and Zhu Chongba are among them.

There are several other people below who are the main persons in charge of this operation, including Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and some Northern Red Turban generals we met yesterday, such as Tang Shengzong, Fei Ju and others.

And some people from Chen Jie's side also got involved.

Mainly including Zhang Dingbian, his mission today is to follow Zhu Yuanzhang and others to Tianlao to rescue his junior brother Kang Maocai.

In addition to Zhang Dingbian, Chen Jie also brought Wang Baobao, Zhao Ya, and Du Xiong. The three of them will follow Elder Mei Tu arranged by Liu Futong to the Big Buddha Temple to rescue people.

As for Fang Guozhen, he had already led the two elders Chenlong and Chouniu and the four combat-capable teams of the Five Elements Flag, namely Fiery Fire, Flood, Giant Tree and Sharp Gold, to the two east gates where 30,000 elite Northern Red Turban soldiers were waiting, to block Bolo Timur who was preparing to rescue and prevent him from rescuing the palace.

It can be said that everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.

At this moment, a wild cat cried out from outside, and then the person guarding the door opened the gate. Then a man with a black hood came in. When he saw Liu Futong, he clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency has dug it through!"

After hearing this, Liu Futong's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at Chen Jie, "Fourth brother, do you think the time is ripe?"

Chen Jie's eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked up at the sky and saw a dark cloud covering the moon, making the sky and the earth dark. A gust of wind blew, and everyone felt refreshed. The summer breeze is refreshing in this way.

Chen Jie narrowed his eyes and said with emotion: "It's a dark and windy night, a time for murder and arson!"

After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. After all, these people had never been obedient at any time in history. Of course, it would be difficult for an obedient person to become the leader of the Red Turban Army. Therefore, at this moment, there was excitement in the eyes of this group of people. After all, breaking into the palace, no matter whether this plan succeeds or not, they will definitely make a name for themselves in history.

Thinking of this, everyone was very excited. After all, after tonight, their names would go down in history.

Chen Jie turned his head and looked at Liu Futong: "It's almost time, big brother, you can give the order."

After hearing this, Liu Futong immediately said, "I understand, 94."

As he spoke, Liu Futong said, "Zhu Chongba, listen to my orders!"

"My subordinate is here!"

Zhu Chongba immediately clasped his fists and stepped out of the line. At this time, Liu Futong said, "Zhu Chongba, I now order you to lead Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Fei Ju, Hua Yun, Guo Xing and two thousand soldiers to attack the Tianlao and pin down the foreign monk Dharmapa. You must not make any mistakes."

"Yes!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang clasped his fists and immediately waved his hand. Then his subordinates Xu Da and Chang Yuchun all followed suit, followed by heroes from other branches of the Zoroastrianism who led their own troops.

At this time, Zhang Dingbian glanced at Chen Jie, and Chen Jie said, "You go with them, and be careful. Your senior brother Lu Feng must be waiting for you."

After hearing this, Zhang Dingbian grinned and said, "It just so happens that I'm waiting for him too!"

Seeing Zhang Dingbian like this, Chen Jie patted him on the shoulder, and then Zhang Dingbian followed everyone out.

Seeing Zhang Dingbian following, Xu Da secretly winked at Zhu Chongba and said, "Chen Jiusi has sent someone to follow."

Zhu Chongba heard this and said, "Oh, don't worry about him. Chen Jiusi told me that his fellow apprentice was imprisoned in the prison this time, and he went to the prison to save him."

Xu Da nodded when he heard this.

A group of people followed him out the door.

At this time, Liu Fu said from inside the door: "Meitu, obey my orders."

"My subordinate is here."

At this time, Meitu clasped her fists and stepped out of the line. Liu Fu said, "You don't need many people to avoid alerting the enemy."

"Meitu, you can just lead the princess and the others to the Big Buddha Temple."

"Yes."

At this point, Chen Jie said, "Let me give you a few words of advice."

Liu Futong took a step back and gave up his position. Chen Jie looked at Meitu and said, "Remember this, when you get to the Big Buddha Temple, you must stay in the houses we have arranged. Remember, if you don't see Ba ​​Siba leave, you must not enter the Big Buddha Temple, understand?"

"The power of the land immortals should never be underestimated. According to our estimation, the entire Great Buddha Temple is within the domain of Bashiba. If you enter in advance, all our efforts will be wasted."

Chen Jie warned, and after hearing this, Mei Tu said, "Don't worry, King Fa, I'm not a reckless person. Besides, isn't there the King Fa's wife following you? If the King Fa doesn't trust me, can he trust the King Fa's wife?"

Mei Tu looked at Zhao Ya and smiled. Chen Jie looked at Mei Tu and said, "Anyway, be careful. You didn't hit me wrong. Remember, you are facing a land immortal, not an ordinary person."

After hearing this, Meitu said, "Don't worry, don't worry, we will definitely be careful."

At this time, Zhao Ya also came up and said, "Don't worry, Jiu Si, I will act carefully."

Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Well, that's it. Be careful."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya nodded slightly, and then the group immediately left here and headed straight into the night.

As the person walked away, Liu Futong said, "Don't worry, fourth brother. Although Meitu looks unreliable, she actually does things in a measured way."

Chen Jie said: "Well, big brother is always right in judging people. I believe in you."

After hearing this, Liu Futong looked a little embarrassed and said, "You are not making fun of me, are you? If I am good at judging people, I would still be tricked by Du Zundao. If you hadn't helped me on Guangmingding, I might have died in Du Zundao's hands."

"Ah, brother, that's not what I meant. Don't think too much about it."

After hearing what Liu Futong said, Chen Jie hurriedly explained that he didn't want Liu Futong to misunderstand him. Unexpectedly, Liu Futong said, "Haha, how could I not know what you mean? I'm just teasing you."

Chen Jie pretended to touch the non-existent cold sweat on his head and said, "Brother, you scared me to death. I thought you had something against me!"

Liu Futong said with a smile: "We are brothers. Who can I have a problem with? Stop imagining. We still have important things to do!"

Chen Jie smiled at Liu Futong after hearing this, and then Liu Futong said, "Tang Shengzong, Hua Yunlong, the two of you lead our 3,000 soldiers and follow us to charge at the palace."

"Yes."

After the order was given, Tang Shengzong and Hua Yunlong immediately clasped their fists. Liu Futong turned to look at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, dare you follow me to the Daqian Palace?"

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "How dare I disobey your orders?"

The two of them smiled and walked out the door immediately. After they left the door, they headed straight towards the imperial palace.

At this time, someone saw them in the alleys of nearby houses and immediately formed small teams, which gathered from different courtyards. Gradually, the small teams gathered into a large group and soon formed a team of a thousand people, which was still slowly gathering.

Soon everyone came to the streets near the palace. At this time, the moonlight in the sky was blocked and there was no one on the road. Daqian implemented a curfew. As long as it was dark, even in Dadu, people were not allowed to walk on the streets. If anyone was disobedient, they would be dragged into the yamen and beaten with a stick. This was the law of Daqian.

This condition also greatly helped Chen Jie and his team in this operation. Therefore, under the strict requirements of Liu Futong and others, everyone even walked very lightly.

Soon, the group slowly gathered near Suzaku Street.

They hid in the darkness, looking at the imperial palace not far away, with unprecedented excitement in their eyes. After all, they were about charging into the imperial palace, and whether they succeeded or not, it would be something that would go down in history. Even Chen Jie was a little excited.

But they are still waiting. They need to wait for the people of Houtu Banner to enter the palace through the tunnel and then open the imperial city gate so that they can attack.

So the group hid in the darkness, like ghosts in the night!
Everyone held their breath, and at this time the dark clouds in the sky had completely obscured the moon, plunging the whole world into darkness.

"Hurry up, hurry up, dawdle."

"Boss, I have a stomachache and need to poop."

"Wait a minute, after you've checked these two streets, you can go."

"Ouch, no, my stomach hurts. Please wait for me. I'm going to the alley over there to take a shit..."

After saying that, the man rushed into an alley not far away, took off his pants and prepared for a big one.

"Hurry up."

The night watchman shouted "Hurry up!" and then looked around and said, "What a horrible weather! It's a sunny day, but now there are clouds covering the moon."

As he spoke, he muttered something, looking very unhappy.

After waiting for a while, I heard the head of the night watch shout, "Hey, are you done? You're taking so long to take a shit."

There was no response, it was completely silent, as if there was no one there at all.

"Ok?"

The night watchman was stunned and shouted again: "Ding Laowu, you are dead, answer me, have you finished pooping~"

Still quiet.

The head of the night patrol, with a gloomy face, looked deeper into the alley. The ghost thing didn't even respond. As he was thinking, he saw a stone on the ground, so he picked it up and threw it at the ghost.

But it's still quiet.

what's the situation?
The night patrol chief frowned at this time, thinking to himself, could it be that Ding Laowu had diarrhea and died?
Thinking of this, he walked into the alley with a lantern. At this time, the clouds in the sky blocked the moon completely, and the whole land was plunged into darkness. The alley was even darker because of the obstruction. The night watchman frowned slightly and looked into the alley with courage.

At this time, we arrived at the entrance of the alley and looked inside. It was pitch black.

"Ding, Ding Laowu."

The night watchman shouted fearfully, but there was still no movement inside.

gudu~
The night watchman took a deep breath, swallowed, reached out to grasp the sword at his waist, and walked inside with the lantern in hand.

He could vaguely see a person squatting in the corner.

"Ding, Ding Laowu."

He walked over step by step, and then saw Ding Laowu still squatting in front of a pile of bamboo poles, motionless. When he got closer, he could see that Ding Laowu was not unconscious, but was just shaking all over.

The night patrolman frowned and just as he approached, he suddenly saw Ding Laowu looking up with fear in his eyes.

The night patrolman was startled and was about to speak when he suddenly saw a shining steel knife at Ding Laowu's neck from behind.

The night watchman immediately drew out his sword and looked over. He saw that the man should be hiding behind the bamboo pole. Then he slowly raised the lantern.

A knife and a strange face, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw two knives, two strange faces, three knives, and four knives nearby.

As he raised the lantern higher and higher, he saw more and more people.

The night patrolman was so frightened that his face turned pale. Suddenly, there was a crackling sound in the sky and a thunder rang out, instantly illuminating the entire alley. Then he saw a group of people holding righteous swords standing in the alley, and there was no end in sight.

"what!"

Snapped!
The lantern fell directly to the ground, and the night watchman was so scared that he also fell to the ground, and then he rolled and crawled to run back.

But at this moment, a group of figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley and blocked his way.

The night watchman was so frightened that he almost fainted. He didn't know what to do when the young man in the lead bent over and handed him the lantern and knife on the ground, saying, "Wait here for a while. Don't worry, I won't kill you."

The man looked at the young man and swallowed his saliva. The young man ignored him and looked at the sky and said, "It looks like it's going to rain."

A man in his fifties next to him looked at the young man and said, "It's not good to have rain, it will be convenient for us to move."

"Indeed, but brother, we should prepare more kerosene, otherwise we won't be able to light a fire this day."

Liu Futong heard this and said, "Don't worry, we brought enough kerosene, and it's all top-grade kerosene from the Fiery Flag. It can burn even in the water, not to mention the rain."

After hearing this, Chen Jie nodded slightly. It was impossible to break into the palace without setting fire.

The biggest advantage of arson is that it can cause panic. As long as the panic created is enough, the emperor will inevitably send people for help, and it doesn't matter whether the Living Buddha will come at that time.

If he doesn't come, it means he doesn't care about the emperor's life or death. How will the royal family see him? Come?

That would fall right into Chen Jie's plan, so Chen Jie's plan could be said to be a double-edged sword.

Just as he was thinking about it, Chen Jie looked towards the gate of the imperial city and said, "Tang Shengzong."

"My subordinate is here!"

Chen Jie pointed to a location and said, "Take 500 men to that location. When the people from the Thick Earth Banner dig through the imperial wall and open the city gate, you will go to receive them immediately. Don't make any mistakes."

"promise!"

At this time, Tang Shengzong behind him immediately went forward, and then everyone looked towards the imperial city. They were waiting for the thick earth flag to be knocked down to guard the gate, and then they could march straight in.

At this time, near the Tianlao.

Zhu Chongba stretched out his hand, and immediately everyone behind him stopped.

Xu Da and Chang Yuchun came closer and looked at the Heavenly Prison in front of them, only to see that it was heavily guarded. As the Heavenly Prison of the Ministry of Personnel, it held many extremely vicious prisoners, so the defense was particularly strong.

Moreover, there are masters who have set up a killing formation throughout the Heavenly Prison. To put it bluntly, everyone in the Heavenly Prison lives in this kind of formation.

This killing formation has strong defensive capabilities and can greatly enhance the strength of those inside it, but the condition is that it needs to absorb the essence of the people inside.

It is harmful to people's lifespan. In fact, it is not only the large formation in the Heavenly Prison that is like this. In fact, all large formations that focus on killing and fighting need to be nourished by the essence of living people, including many military formations.

But the nourishment of essence and energy is a slow process, and it cannot kill people immediately. But on the battlefield or in a killing formation, one needs to go through fighting, and those can kill people instantly.

Compared with this, this short-lived killing formation that consumes human energy is nothing.

The Heavenly Prison is like this. Those who are locked up in it are the most serious criminals. No one cares how long you can live. The most important thing here is to prevent the prisoners from being kidnapped. Therefore, it is quite appropriate to set up the killing array here. There is even nothing more appropriate than this!
This is also the reason why people who enter the Heavenly Prison will be skinned alive even if they don’t die.

Xu Da looked at the prison in front of him and said, "Brother, look at this prison. It uses the inner and outer seven killing formations. It was built with the power of the dragon veins of Dadu. It can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of these soldiers. Even if a master goes in, his strength can be improved by at least 30%. If we rush in, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy losses."

After hearing this, Zhu Chongba was silent for a moment and said, "Well, it is true that we cannot charge in forcefully, but we have a mission to accomplish and we cannot ruin this great plan. If we cause trouble and harm the heroes of the world, I am afraid we will have no face to live with them in the future!"

Xu Da said: "If we charge head-on, I'm afraid it won't work."

"What's wrong? Old Xu, I don't need you. Big brother, give me a thousand men, and I'll charge in and kill them first, and turn the world upside down."

Hearing this, Xu Da looked at Chang Yuchun and said, "Just charge in recklessly for a while, don't forget the purpose of our visit this time."

Chang Yuchun said, "What should we do? Big brother is the commander of the army. If we can't stop that foreign monk Dharmapa, and the rebel army fails in this operation, then we will become sinners."

Hearing this, Xu Da looked at Chang Yuchun and said, "We can't rush in either. Big brother is not as strong as that second-level Dharmakāpa. With the elite soldiers we have trained, we can still fight against the second-level Dharmakāpa by forming a mother-child mandarin duck formation. But if we enter the opponent's inner and outer seven killing formations, our advantages will be gone. How can big brother defeat the second-level Dharmakāpa?"

After hearing this, Chang Yuchun scratched his head and asked, "What should we do then?"

"Are we just going to sit there and watch?"

Chang Yuchun was a reckless person, so he asked directly at this time.

After hearing this, Xu Da thought about it and frowned slightly, but at this time Zhu Chongba suddenly smiled and said: "In fact, this matter is not as difficult as imagined."

"Well, brother, do you have any idea?"

Xu Da looked at Zhu Chongba in surprise. Zhu Chongba smiled and said, "Of course, this method is not difficult. You see, the location chosen by the Ministry of Personnel's prison is very remote. There is only one way out of here. We can just deploy our troops on this road and wait for Dharmapa."

Xu Da was slightly stunned, as if he understood something.

At this time, Chang Yuchun asked: "No, no, big brother, they are stupid enough to come out to fight you. If they don't come out, we will just wait here stupidly?"

"How about giving me 500 elite soldiers? I'll charge in for a while, then pretend to have a hundred times more troops to lure them out?"

Chang Yuchun was still thinking about charging and killing, but Zhu Chongba said, "Old Four, why do you only think about charging and killing? This is not a straight fight on the battlefield. We are in Dadu now, we need to play tricks."

"Use your brain instead of your hands."

Zhu Chongba taught him. Chang Yuchun didn't quite understand what he said and said, "If you don't let me charge, will that foreign monk just rush over and let you kill him?"

Zhu Chongba heard this and said, "What do you mean by rushing over to let me kill them? They have to come out. We are attacking their reinforcements."

Chang Yuchun heard this and said, "He's crazy. Why would he come out of the prison?"

Zhu Chongba smiled and looked towards the direction of the palace and said, "When the fire starts over there, I don't believe that foreign monk can still stay in there. As long as he shows up, we can take the opportunity to destroy him!"

After hearing this, Chang Yuchun looked towards the direction of the palace, thought for a moment and said, "That's a good idea. Big brother is really smart."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chang Yuchun and smiled. He liked this fourth brother very much. He was very brave and didn't seem to be very smart. He was very easy to control.

Zhu Yuanzhang was actually a suspicious person. Although he was willing to employ people, he was always on guard against them, even his sworn brothers, such as Tang He and even Xu Da. He was on guard against them.

Fortunately, Xu Da knew him very well and did not do too many things that went beyond the limit, so Zhu Yuanzhang trusted him very much.

After everyone had discussed it, Xu Da was immediately in charge of arranging the troops and their battle formations. In terms of military tactics, in Zhu Yuanzhang's team, Xu Da was second to none and no one dared to admit to being second. If his talent in military tactics were applied to martial arts, he would even be second only to Zhang Zhenren's level.

He is definitely a child of destiny, and it can be said that he started at the same level as Han Shantong.

What Xu Da arranged was an evolution of the formation in Wu Mu's posthumous letter, called the Mother and Child Mandarin Duck Formation!

The inside and outside are interconnected, two thousand people are combined into one formation, and with Xu Da's talent in military strategy, it can be said that it is enough to make up for the gap with Dharmaba.

Xu Da arranged the battle formation. Zhang Dingbian, who was not far away, was watching with surprise in his eyes. What a great talent for command and the application of military tactics. Commanding two thousand people was as smooth as an arm.

Zhang Dingbian looked at it and wondered if he could do this. After thinking it over, he finally determined that he could. However, there might still be a little gap between his command and Xu Da's. It wasn't big, but there was indeed a gap.

Here, Zhu Yuanzhang and his entourage set up a large formation outside the Heavenly Prison, setting up a net to wait for Dharmapa in the prison, while heading towards the Big Buddha Temple.

Mei Tu, Zhao Ya and others also sneaked into the vicinity of the Big Buddha Temple. Looking at the majestic and towering Big Buddha Temple, everyone took a deep breath. It was indeed exciting to want to steal the home of a land immortal.

Even their line is more dangerous and stabbing than the one in the palace.

At this time, everyone looked at the fifty-meter-high Buddha statue towering in the Big Buddha Temple. They couldn't help swallowing their saliva and felt the terrible power of oppression.

At this time, Meitu looked at the big Buddha, looked at Zhao Ya beside her and said, "Madam Fawang, are you nervous?"

Zhao Ya was so nervous that her palms were sweating. She said, "Who wouldn't be nervous when facing a living Buddha? I just don't know how things are going in the palace!"
