Chapter 1152
'boom! '
'Boom.'
The moment Xu Shan stepped out of the courtyard, ear-piercing explosions and sounds of fighting erupted in multiple areas of Beijing, including Xuri Avenue.
This was a purge operation launched by Li Cheng and his assassin gang against Xu Shan's direct subordinates.
In Zhou Ge and Jia Ke's plan, all those who were loyal to Xu Yingcheng would be killed. Then, the high-ranking officers of the city defense battalion and patrol battalion that they had turned against would naturally take over these two forces.
At that time, with the troops stationed in the capital being transferred to Pukou for defense, Zhu Youwei's forces in the entire city of Nanjing consisted of only a mere ten thousand imperial guards.
After the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), the Jiangnan navy arrived in the capital and was welcomed into the city without bloodshed.
During this period, strange events will occur at the imperial tomb, and the seal on the Gates of Hell will loosen, attracting Yuan Tiangang and the other worshippers from the Divine Mechanism Bureau...
At that time, the isolated and helpless palace will be trapped like a turtle in a jar!
Having already seen through and figured out the other party's plan, Master Xu chose to play along.
Let them get infinitely close to success, and then infinitely desperate!
A few minutes later...
When the image of his master, covered in blood and stained with the blood of others, appeared on his body, he reported in a still indifferent voice: "He confessed!"
"Tonight, Li Cheng personally oversaw and planned this assassination."
"Based on the information we obtained earlier, it should be Zhang Guang and others who provided information about Lord Deng and his group, and they were responsible for taking action."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shan asked coldly, "Where is Li Cheng now?"
"The Sanhe Escort Agency, a business under the Zhou family."
"Accompanying them were more than a hundred elite guards who were ostensibly bodyguards."
"In addition, there are hundreds of porters at the Sihanoukville docks, who are members of the Perak Church."
"We are very well prepared!"
When the taciturn Tianxue finished speaking all at once, Xu Shan smiled.
Raising his right arm, he peered through his fingers at the nearly full moon. He suddenly spoke, "Well prepared?"
"This is the capital city."
"It's never their place to point fingers!"
'Snapped. '
Deng Ziyue and the others, who had hurriedly returned, immediately clasped their hands and said, "The surname of the people in the capital is Xu, the Xu of Lord Xu."
After they finished speaking, Xu Shan smiled and said, "Proceed according to the original plan."
"Spread the word that you have been assassinated."
"You dozen or so people have to pretend to be dead again."
"Yes!"
As everyone quickly disappeared, each going about their assigned tasks, Xu Shan muttered, "Zhou Ge, Jia Ke, Li Cheng..."
"I hereby formally announce that your lives are now on a countdown."
Vermilion Bird Avenue!
The Zhou family mansion and the Jia family mansion were built next to each other.
From the outside, each has its own separate entrance. But in reality, there is a secret passage connecting them!
It was nighttime for the operation, and it concerned the future of both their families.
Therefore, the Zhou and Jia families gathered together, anxiously awaiting news from the capital!
The explosions and sounds of fighting that had just erupted had already attracted their attention.
The people sent out now are gathering intelligence.
Several impatient juniors paced back and forth in the hall.
As Zhou Ge and Jia Ke, who were sitting comfortably in the main seats, were talking to He Chi and the others, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside to inside.
"Old, master..."
"It's done."
'Uh-huh. '
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ge and Jia Ke could no longer contain themselves and stood up, asking, "It's done? Don't panic, tell us the details?"
‘Gulu. ’
The panting servant took the tea from his master with both hands, took a sip, and hurriedly said, "Deng Ziyue, the supervisor of the patrol battalion, was assassinated on the spot."
"The other generals also died on the spot."
"Currently, the entire city is under martial law, including the patrol battalion and the city defense battalion. The entire capital is on high alert as they work to capture the murderer's accomplices."
Upon hearing this, Jaco pressed, "Are you sure they're all dead?"
"Commander Zhang Guang saw their bodies with his own eyes and ordered me to come and report immediately."
"However, the Assassin's Guild also suffered heavy losses in this operation. Deng Ziyue and his men were secretly protected by the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
"After it was all over, knowing they couldn't escape, they all chose to commit suicide by poison!"
After he finished speaking, Jia Ke sighed, "As expected of Grand Commander Zhou, his elite troops are truly fearless! Each one of them is ready to die for their cause!"
"Since ancient times, when uprisings begin, how can there be no deaths?"
"After the major events are over, he will be given a proper burial."
"As it should be."
"By the way, did Ma Jingsheng and the others who planned this all manage to leave the city successfully?"
When Jia Ke asked this question, the reporter quickly replied, "Commander Zhang also mentioned this matter."
"The patrol team followed the clues and found the private kitchen. But Manager Ma had already disappeared."
"They also said from inside the city that a convoy has left the city."
"Currently, the city defense battalion finds this suspicious and has ordered men to give chase."
"This matter is being handled by Lieutenant General Zhang's men; he will take care of it."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ge and Jia Ke beamed with joy and said, "That's good, that's good!"
"Commander Zhang, is there anything else you need to say?"
"Yes! Tell General Li and his men to make sure they don't show themselves before the uprising begins at the hour of Chou (1-3 AM)."
"The patrol battalion is now arresting people everywhere like madmen. General Li and his men are the vanguard of the Jiangnan Navy and should be stationed in Dangtu to set up defenses. If they are dragged out in the city, it will arouse suspicion."
"Haha."
After the subordinate finished speaking, Zhou Ge and Jia Ke laughed together and said, "Don't worry."
"We had already discussed this with Li Cheng in advance."
"They are in charge; regardless of whether it succeeds or fails, they are not to show their faces again. We are responsible for gathering information!"
"No one will be able to trace the Sanhe Escort Agency."
"That's right. Looking across the entire capital, who dares to investigate the Zhou family's businesses now?"
"Are you courting death?"
Zhou Ge's eldest son, Zhou Kun, said arrogantly.
But at this time, no one will say anything to him.
Because everyone present knew...
Once Emperor Qiming regains the throne, the Zhou family will undoubtedly be the greatest contributor, unmatched by anyone else!
"Old, master..."
"Huh? What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"
"Someone from the palace has arrived."
"I hereby request that you two sirs enter the palace immediately!"
"Ok?"
"What happened?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ge and Jia Ke asked in unison.
"It is said that..."
"Wuhu has fallen!"
"The Jiujiang Navy bypassed Dangtu and headed directly for Lishui."
"It's only a few dozen miles from the outer city of the capital."
'Wow.'
Upon hearing this, the people present were in an uproar.
At the same time, bright smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
"It's done!"
"It's a sure thing!"
Upon hearing this, everyone cheered with joy.
In their view, the Jiujiang Navy, in conjunction with the Jiangnan Navy, had surrounded the capital with an army of over 100,000...
Even if Yuan Tiangang were a god descended to earth, he would find it impossible to turn the tide.
not to mention……
While they were scheming against the entire court, they also planned to use the strange events at the imperial tomb to distract the Divine Mechanism Bureau.
