Chapter 228 The Undercurrent Surges and the City Begins to Chaos

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, the imperial army no longer attacked the city, but tightly surrounded the city.At this time, the undercurrent in Ninghai City was surging.Some families began to shrink their forces secretly, and the guards at home continued to strengthen.And some generals on the top of the city frequently called the officers under their command for secret discussions.The entire Ninghai City suddenly lost the tense atmosphere during the war, and instead had a weird atmosphere.

At night, a group of men in black sneaked into the city again.At this time, the Gu family, Gu Baichuan stood respectfully in front of the man in black, looking at him expectantly, "Sir, I wonder what Young Master Cao wants us to do? Please tell us clearly."

"Hehe, Patriarch Gu, don't need to be anxious. This time, I have obeyed the order of the young master to come and inform you." The man in black smiled indifferently, "My young master has decided that the three o'clock tonight will be the time for you to make trouble. , Chaos will break out in the city, take this as a signal, and you will immediately lead the forces in your hands and fully cooperate to create chaos."

"Sir, my son is the captain of the city guard, and he is in charge of more than 2000 troops." Gu Baichuan is not satisfied with just making small troubles. As the saying goes, wealth and wealth are sought in danger. Mr. Cao has a place in front of him, and not only will the entire Gu family not decline, but there is hope that it will grow even stronger. "The old man has already discussed with the child, and hopes to use this power to make meritorious service for the young master."

"Oh? If that's the case, it would be great." The man in black was overjoyed when he heard this. This time he was in charge of the Gu family's lobbying mission. If he could let the Gu family play a greater role in it, then he would The status will also rise with the tide. "Patriarch Gu, are your son's troops reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable." Gu Baichuan looked at him confidently and said firmly.

"Okay!" The man in black paced back and forth excitedly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Patriarch Gu, if you want my son to value you, there are only two ways to go, one is to open the city gate first, and the other is to capture and kill King Jinghai .”

"Sir, I'm talented. I don't know if my Gu family has the ability to win these two first achievements?" The head of the Gu family flattered him in time, not saying that he had already thought of this two days in advance.

"Well, it's probably useless to open the city gate, because there are already many generals at the top of the city who are willing to lead their troops anyway. By then, the top of the city will be in chaos. With 2000 of you, it won't do much." The man in black thought for a while. , There was a bright light in the eyes, "Since this is the case, then we will put the treasure on capturing and killing King Jinghai. As long as we win King Jinghai, it is also the first achievement."

"Sir, what you said is true. However, this Jinghai Palace is heavily guarded. As far as I know, there are at least a thousand elite palace guards stationed in the palace. With our 2000 people, I'm afraid we can't break into it?" Patriarch Gu This is also quite a headache, so he is hesitant about whether to make the first contribution.

"Patriarch Gu, don't worry, our family is not alone in this matter." The man in black sneered, "I think people from other families also want to invade the palace and compete for King Jinghai. By then, the palace guards will be exhausted, and their defense will be weakened." Patriarch Gu, when everyone is fighting so hard, you take the opportunity to rush into the palace and capture and kill King Jinghai in one fell swoop, and that feat will belong to you, the Gu family."

"Ah, that would be great." Gu Baichuan rubbed his hands excitedly, as if he saw a bright future and was recruiting for him, "Mr. is so considerate of my family. I am very grateful. Afterwards, I will go to your residence in person. I offer 1 taels of silver as a token of my gratitude."

"One, 1 taels?" The man in black was stunned on the spot, swallowing hard, "Patriarch Gu, you, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, Mr. has saved my Gu family's life. The 1 taels is Mr. Xie's plan to save my Gu family's heart." Gu Baichuan smiled flatteringly, "If my Gu family can win King Jinghai and make the first contribution, Afterwards, there will be another reward to give to my husband, please help me."

"Oh, Master Gu, you are being polite. This gift is too precious, precious." The man in black put on a gesture and declined, but there was joy in his eyes.

The two of them gave way for a while, and then the man in black reluctantly agreed to accept this heavy gift, and then enthusiastically discussed some details and inside stories of this operation with Gu Baichuan.

After a while, Steward Ji of the Gu family left for the east gate.After half an hour, he heard footsteps coming from outside the door, and then, Gu Xiong'an walked in boldly, looked at the man in black sitting beside his father, narrowed his eyes slightly, could this be him. . . .

Gu Baichuan raised his hand to summon him, and said kindly, "Xiongan, this is Mr. Cao's secret envoy, why don't you come over to see him soon?"

Gu Xiong'an secretly thought that this was indeed the case, and hurriedly bowed to the man in black and said: "The last general Gu Xiong'an, I have met you, sir."

The man in black looked at him carefully, nodded in satisfaction, and praised: "Your nobleman is magnificent, and he really looks like a good general."

"Sir, you have won the prize, but you don't dare to be the last general." Gu Xiong'an said humbly.

"Hehe, Xiong'an, how many people did you bring back this time?" Gu Baichuan asked, stroking his long beard proudly.

"Returning to father, the boy quietly brought more than 1000 people back this time, and they are now gathering in the yard waiting for my order." Gu Xiongan suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said calmly, "Because someone needs to be stationed at the top of the city. To deceive others, the child dare not bring all the troops back blatantly. However, after the incident, the remaining part of the troops will rush over immediately, so we can meet up, and father can rest assured."

"Sir, do you think so?" Gu Baichuan nodded, looking at the man in black with some anxiety.

"Well, your son is cautious and considerate, not bad, not bad." The man in black looked up at Gu Xiong'an, and nodded with satisfaction, "Just do as your son said."

Only then did Gu Baichuan feel relieved, and then he described the entire plan of the incident, and then the three of them gathered together to pick up the omissions and complete the whole plan.

As the night deepened, there was silence in Ninghai City.Except for the bright bonfire on the top of the city and the patrolling soldiers in twos and threes, all the doors in the city were closed and all the lights were extinguished.

"Kang kuang kuang! The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of candles!" Suddenly, in the dark night, a melodious voice sounded from the street, and on the streets, figures carrying small lanterns walked staggeringly.

As if it was a signal, all of a sudden, lights were lit in the courtyards of many noble families, and then, there were waves of messy footsteps coming from inside, which seemed to be mixed with the sound of knives and guns rubbing against each other.

The next moment, in every corner of the city, puffs of thick smoke suddenly appeared, and the rising red lights were faintly visible.Vaguely, there was a sound of chaos from a distance.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the gates of the aristocratic families burst open, and guards with weapons in their hands walked out of the gate with fierce expressions on their faces.The knocker who passed by was so frightened that he fell to the ground screaming and backed away in horror.But these people didn't care about the frightened person on the ground, and under the leadership of their master, they rushed to Jinghai Palace.

Standing in the attic, Gu Baichuan watched the flames rising in the city, and listened to the chaotic sounds, feeling mixed feelings in his heart. This time will be the moment to decide the fate of his family. The success or failure depends on the great achievements he can make tonight.

"Xiong'an, let's follow the plan!" He looked at the densely packed soldiers downstairs, and his heart was full of enthusiasm. This is the strength of our Gu family. With these strengths, there is no need to worry about major events.Thinking of this, he felt very proud, turned his head to look at Gu Xiong'an, and ordered.

"Yes, father!" Gu Xiong'an nodded, pulled out the saber from his waist, and shouted at the soldiers below, "Brothers, let's go!"
