As the eldest brother, Chen Zilei was the one who made the decision, so he was the first to speak.

"Junior brothers, you should have seen it when you entered the city. There are hundreds of Zhenbei troops near the city gate tower, and there are still many people in Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. We must be careful in our actions."

"Elder brother, when do you think we should take action?"

The person who asked the question was Third Junior Brother Xu Fei, a fair young man.

Chen Zilei said: "Of course it's night."

"at night?"

"The risk of doing anything during the day is too high. Even if we kill Su Yuan, it will be easily discovered by others. Once someone discovers that Su Yuan is dead, the Zhenbei Army will definitely block the whole city immediately. I'm afraid it won't be that easy for us to escape...

"

When Chen Zilei entered the city, he saw a large number of archers on the tower. Although the four brothers and sisters were all skilled in martial arts, they were still unable to cope with hundreds of bows and arrows.

His plan was, if possible, to sneak into the mansion in disguise, kill Su Yuan as quietly as possible, and then leave Beifeng City before the Zhenbei Army discovered him and before martial law was imposed.

To do this, the best time to do it is naturally at night.

The three junior brothers all agreed with what Chen Zilei said.

Fourth junior brother Yu Yunpeng asked at this time: "Senior brother, then we still need to find someone who is familiar with Zhenbei Palace? Otherwise, the palace is so big that it may not be easy to find Su Yuan."

"That's right." Chen Zilei raised his lips slightly, "You don't have to worry about this."

"oh?"

The three junior brothers were very curious. Chen Zilei explained: "Junior brother Su Cheng invited me to spend some time at Zhenbei Prince's Mansion before. I still remember the route inside the mansion."

"That's good!"

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Chen Zilei immediately made a shushing gesture to several people, got up and walked to the door.

"who?"

"Your Majesty, I am the waiter!"

Chen Zilei opened the door, and a young man stood at the door with a towel on his shoulders and a teapot in his right hand, smiling.

"Would you like some tea, gentlemen? I'll pour it for you."

As the waiter said this, he walked into the house without waiting for Chen Zilei to say anything. He accidentally tripped over the threshold!

"Hey young!"

The iron kettle filled with hot tea came out immediately. When the three people sitting at the table saw this, they immediately stood up and tried to dodge the hot tea that was about to be spilled, but Chen Zilei was one step faster.

"Be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Zilei held the waiter steady with one hand, reached down with the other hand, and firmly grasped the handle of the teapot. If he had been slower for half a second, the tea would have been spilled on the floor.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The waiter bowed and apologized repeatedly, poured tea for the four of them, and apologized a few more times before leaving the room.

When the door closed, the flattering smile on the waiter's face immediately disappeared.

He glanced at the door thoughtfully, then turned and went downstairs.

Chen Zilei and others did not take it seriously and continued to discuss the action plan in the room.

They are not in a hurry to take action tonight, as that would be too hasty and could easily lead to mishaps.

They planned to stay in the city for two days and conduct some reconnaissance on the Zhenbei Palace. They would wait until they were sure that the plan was foolproof and studied the patrol routes of the guards in the city at night before taking action.

"Click."

The tea cup was put down, and it made a slight noise when it bumped against the table.

Su Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him.

This was the handsome-faced Jin Yiwei he summoned for the first time. To distinguish him, he also gave him a special name, Shen Lian.

He had previously arranged for three hundred Jinyi guards to sneak into the market and inquire about information from all parties, and Shen Lian was responsible for summarizing the information and reporting it to him.

"So, they are people from the world."

"Yes." Shen Lian said, "A brother who was on guard at the city tower earlier noticed that several of them were riding fast horses into the city. However, judging from their clothes, they were all ordinary people. It didn't look like they could afford fast horses.

people."

"After those people checked into the Chunlai Inn, I asked my brother who was working as a waiter at the inn to test them out. Sure enough, the four people's movements were much faster than ordinary people, and they all had martial arts skills."

Su Yuan nodded when he heard this: "Is there any more?"

Shen Lian said: "I asked my brothers to keep an eye on them, and found that they had been wandering around the city after coming out of the inn. It seemed unintentional, but in fact they seemed to be surveying the terrain, and some brothers reported to me that they had been wandering around the city several times.

When talking to passers-by, they all mentioned Zhenbei Prince's Mansion intentionally or unintentionally, as if they were inquiring about news."

Su Yuan hummed.

Shen Lian asked: "Sir, do you want your subordinates to arrest people?"

"Can you tell how good their martial arts are?"

Shen Lian said: "The martial arts of the four of them are better than mine, especially the broad-faced man, whose aura is astonishing. I'm afraid he has reached the acquired eighth or ninth level."

After saying that, he changed his tone and said: "But we have a large number of people. It will not be difficult for you to recruit some Xiliang soldiers and set up an ambush to capture them."

"Don't worry, just play with them."

"Playing?"

"You go ahead and keep staring."

"yes."

After Shen Lian left, Su Yuan couldn't help but sigh, Jin Yiwei is so useful.

Those guys had just entered the city for less than a day, and they were already beaten by the Jin Yiwei. On the one hand, this proves that the Jin Yiwei are strong in intelligence gathering. On the other hand, it also proves that those guys are not experienced enough. They probably just came out of the mountain.

soon.

If it were an old man who had been traveling in the world for many years, it would be impossible for him to reveal his secret so quickly.

After thinking about it, he immediately called Chu Changning and informed him of the matter.

After hearing this, Chu Changning's face immediately darkened.

"Your Majesty, they may want to come to avenge Su Cheng."

"Um."

Except for Su Cheng, Su Yuan didn't seem to have offended anyone in the world.

But sometimes if you don't offend others, others will kill you.

For example, some people in the Demon Cult, or some killers who live by offering bounties, don't care whether the person they want to kill has any issues with them.

"How does the prince plan to deal with it?" Chu Changning asked, "Do you want my subordinates to make arrangements immediately to capture them alive?"

"Well, I have an idea..."

Su Yuan expressed his thoughts, and Chu Changning nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty's consideration is not unreasonable."

"Then this is the arrangement. By the way, how are things going with the five major families?"

"It has been found out that the five major families secretly sent people to incite the people, hoping to make the people in the city fearful and make them enemies of the prince. Moreover, there was news from the subordinates' colleagues in the northern Xinjiang camp that the five major families secretly sent people to incite people.

We went to the northern Xinjiang camp and contacted General Gongsun."

Su Yuan searched for a name in his memory: "Gongsun...Kuo."

"yes."

The Northern Xinjiang Camp has always had a main and deputy commander, the commander is Su Tufeng, and the deputy commander is Gongsun Kuo.

After Su Tufeng died in battle, the emperor had asked Gongsun Kuo to temporarily act as the commander-in-chief and take charge of the affairs of the northern Xinjiang camp.

Chu Changning said: "My lord, Gongsun Kuo has been coveting the position of coach for a long time. If it weren't for your father's outstanding military exploits, I'm afraid Gongsun Kuo would have taken away the position of coach long ago."

"Well... I've heard that his sister is the emperor's favorite concubine."

"Yes, since his sister entered the palace and became the Concubine Jade, the entire Gongsun family has skyrocketed. Even a pustule like Gongsun Kuo can become the deputy commander, which shows that the Concubine Jade has turned a deaf ear to the emperor."

"In this case, I'm afraid Gongsun Kuo will join forces with the five major families to deal with us."
