Chapter 46
Yinshi two quarters, that is, around 03:30 in the morning, this time is generally the time when people sleep most soundly.

If someone wakes you up at this time and pulls you out of the bed, it will be really uncomfortable.

Wu Wan'er was in a daze right now, as if she was drunk, her little head was dangling from side to side, and she was a little swaying when she walked.

When Taichang saw it, he couldn't help feeling distressed.

He was fine, because at about this time every morning he was supposed to get up and prepare for the morning court, but Wu Wan'er couldn't recover for a long time.

Alas, there is no way, if they want to get out of the city smoothly, and then rush to Zhenhaiwei as soon as possible, they have to take advantage of the darkest time before dawn to get near the city gate and kill the guards guarding the city in one fell swoop!
Otherwise, once there is a delay, guards from other city gates will flock to them, and they will be entangled to death.

Fortunately, Ge Cheng, Cao Huachun, and Liu Shiyou, the main force of this operation, are all masters. They are fine if they don't sleep all night, and Jin Yiwei is used to getting up early. After all, they have to be on duty in the palace during the morning court. .

By now all the horses had their hooves wrapped in cotton cloth, their mouths muzzled, and were waiting to go.

Taichang looked at the faint flames on the city gate tower in the distance, then looked back at the mysterious view that had swallowed up countless lives, sighed secretly in his heart, then held the rein tightly with one hand, and Wu Wan'er's little hand with the other, Facing Ge Cheng in front of him, he said softly, "Let's go."

In the dark night, more than 50 people set off silently.

Ge Cheng knew the streets and alleys of Suzhou City very well, even if he closed his eyes, he would not go wrong, but the others were different, they had never been to most places in Suzhou City, even if they were In broad daylight, they may not be able to find their way, and in this pitch-black night, they seem to have entered a maze.

Fortunately, with the help of the faint firelight in the distance, they could at least see the ponytails in front, lined up in a long line, one by one slowly moving forward without getting lost.

The group of people didn't know how long they walked in the streets and alleys. Finally, a tall city wall appeared in front of them. Looking along the city wall, the city gate tower illuminated by torches was less than a mile away.

Taichang took out his binoculars and took a closer look, he couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

His judgment was indeed correct. It is impossible for the guards guarding the city gate to stand guard day and night. At night, they always have to take turns to rest, otherwise, how can they be energetic the next day.

At this time, there were only a dozen or so people upstairs above the city gate, and they all looked drowsy. As for the people below, there were only about twenty people on both sides of the city gate. It was easy to solve, because there were fifty of them. What about Jin Yiwei?

He thought for a while, and then ordered in a low voice: "Old Ge, I will hand over the ten or so people on the city wall to you. Cao Huachun, Liu Shiyou, you take twenty people to touch them, and clear the villages on both sides of the city gate as soon as possible." Wei solves it."

Everyone responded in a low voice and started to act.

They put the reins in the hands of the Jin Yiwei who stayed behind, and then bent their waists, leaned against the city wall, and walked quickly towards the city gate.

About halfway through the walk, it was the stairs to the city wall. Ge Cheng just dodged a few times before climbing up the city wall without a sound, while the others continued to walk along the city wall.

Not long after, there was a scream from above the city gate.

"what!"

"No, the rebels are coming to seize the city gate, hurry up, beat the drums."

It's a pity that Ge Cheng's speed was really too fast. Before the man could finish his words, a series of screams sounded from the upper gate of the city gate. As for the sound of drums, there was no sound at all.

The higher-ups had already started, and Cao Huachun and Liu Shiyou didn't hide their whereabouts anymore. They rushed out from the shadow of the city wall, drew their weapons and rushed to the city gate, slashing at them.

These are ordinary garrison guards. Those garrison guards who have not yet attacked Xuanmiao Temple are powerful. How could it be that Cao Huachun and Liu Shiyou had their opponents? In a short while, more than [-] people were cut down to the ground without a sound.

However, at this time, there was a rush of shouts not far away.

"Quick, get up, get up, the rebels are coming to seize the city gate."

Hearing the sound, Taichang ordered without hesitation: "Quickly, get on the horse and run directly over."

The remaining thirty or so people quickly got on their horses and galloped towards the city gate.

"Booming", there was a dull sound of horseshoes, and I don't know how many sleepers were awakened.

"Boom", there was another loud noise, and the suspension bridge had been cut down by Ge Cheng.

Immediately afterwards, there was a piercing sound of rubbing, and the city gate was also opened by Cao Huachun and Liu Shiyou.

At this time, a glimmer of dawn appeared in the sky, and the entire city of Suzhou seemed to be slowly waking up, and the surrounding scenery gradually became faintly visible.

The timing was just right, and more than thirty people had already rode their horses to the city gate.

The Jin Yiwei who was leading the horse tossed the reins, Cao Huachun, Liu Shiyou and twenty Jin Yiwei took the reins and got on the horse one after another, while Ge Cheng flew down from the city wall by the rope and landed on his mount .

The group of people did not stop, they just fished out of the city gate, crossed the suspension bridge, and rushed towards Zhenhaiwei.

At this time, a group of guards who were not dressed neatly ran out of the temporary camp. They didn't even see their ponytails!

The rebels have already taken the door and fled, what should we do?

Qian Hu, who was in charge of guarding the place, looked at the corpses on both sides of the city gate with a cloudy expression, and was stunned for a while, then finally gritted his teeth, turned his horse's head, and galloped towards the magistrate's yamen.

Everyone is riding a horse. They only have two or three horses. If they catch up with them, they will not seek death!
He could only hurry to report to the Commander to let the adults know.

At this moment, Chen Yirui hadn't woken up yet, and he hardly slept much last night, and he didn't close his eyes until it was almost dawn.

Alas, there is no way, he can't sleep!
Originally, he thought that five hundred guards would be enough to deal with fifty elite guards in Jinyi, but he never thought that the emperor would secretly bring a peerless master, and after a while, he would directly lay down three hundred for him, and he almost peed out of fear .

When he returned to the magistrate's yamen, Sun Zhixie desperately urged him to send troops from other places to do another wave.

Just kidding, where did he deploy his troops from?

Suzhou City has ten gates, large and small, and he has to send at least 200 people to guard each gate, otherwise, it will be impossible to stop others.

That's what he thought before. After a battle, he realized how powerful the people around the emperor were. 200 people might not be able to stop him. He even sent people over. If they found out, they would just run away What should I do if I go to seize the city gate?
As for the people and horses outside the city, don’t even think about it. There are water and land passages scattered everywhere in a radius of tens of miles. Come on, send someone to ride there, you must fall to your death!

He chatted with Sun Zhixie for a long time, and thought wildly for half the night, and just fell asleep in a daze, when he was awakened by a rush of horseshoes.

Who is he? Is he sick or something? The genius is bright, and he is running wildly here.

He was about to scold someone, but that Qianhu hurried in and said with shame on his face: "My lord, this subordinate is incompetent, the rebels took away the Prime Minister's Gate, and ran out of the city to the east!"

Ah!
Chen Yirui was furious and said, "Did you grow up eating fish? I ordered someone to confess to me last night. When I found out that the rebels had seized the door, I immediately beat the drums to send a message. The guards at the nearby city gates would arrive within a quarter of an hour. You have 200 people, and you have the city wall as your backing, can't you hold on for a quarter of an hour?"

That Qianhu said helplessly: "My lord, the drum beat didn't go well at all. They ran away from the door in less than a stick of incense, and the subordinates didn't even have time to react!"

It must be that peerless master who climbed the city wall.

Alas, miscalculation!

Chen Yirui was stunned for a moment, then jumped out of bed and shouted: "Hurry up, tell everyone to gather outside the prime minister's gate!"

How can this regicide be abandoned halfway?

If the emperor is allowed to run away, they will all be finished!
