That night, Wei Zong keenly felt something was wrong, so he came to the emperor early.
During this period of time, since he had long known that Cao Gong might launch an attack at any time, he was always in the palace to protect the emperor.
Except for him, all the spies of the Secret Service also shrunk and came to the palace to protect the emperor together.
As for the former headquarters of the Secret Service, it has been completely abandoned. Some important things inside have been moved to the palace. As for the rest, they are all unimportant things.
Even if Cao Gong's people found him, it would be of no use at all.
However, although it was nominally to protect the emperor, Wei Zong's real purpose was naturally not that simple.
Protecting the emperor is just a cover, his real purpose is still the scroll.
During this period of time, Wei Zong had found out where the scroll was stored. However, the defense was very tight, and even he couldn't sneak in quietly.
However, just because it doesn’t work now, doesn’t mean it won’t work in the future.
Wei Zong has been waiting for an opportunity.
This opportunity is naturally when Cao Gong's martial arts warriors come to attack. When that happens, it will be the best time for him to take action. There is a lot of noise and chaos outside. Even if something happens inside, no one will know.
Therefore, even though Wei Zong pretended to be doing everything for the emperor, the emperor didn't know what he was thinking.
At this time, the emperor's biggest concern was still Cao Gong and those people who exclaimed that they had lost 50% of their power.
As for Wei Zong, he has his trust very much and is now considered his confidant.
"His Majesty!"
At this time, Wei Zong came to the emperor and said in a deep voice: "There is something very wrong outside. I'm afraid Cao Gong is going to take action!"
At this time, the emperor nodded solemnly, and then said lightly: "You guessed it right, Cao Gong has indeed started to take action. Today... this palace is their hiding place."
Looking at the emperor's extremely confident look, it seemed as if everything was according to his plan and there would never be any surprises.
Seeing him like this, Wei Zong didn't say anything.
Cao Gong was not a vegetarian, and he definitely had other preparations. The emperor thought that he could surely eat Cao Gong, but it was not certain.
However, Wei Zong is now more concerned about himself. He has been thinking about what kind of excuse he will use when the battle starts later, and then he takes the opportunity to leave the palace and go to the location where the scroll is stored.
At this time, when Wei Zong's eyes flickered, the emperor also saw that he was thoughtful and seemed to be thinking about something. So, the emperor came directly to Wei Zong and asked softly: "Wei Zong, are you there?"
What are you thinking about?"
Wei Zong was not in a hurry and said directly: "I am thinking that this Cao Gong is definitely not a vegetarian. Since he dares to attack the palace, besides these martial arts warriors, there are definitely other means. It is definitely not that easy.
Deal with it."
"Weizong, don't worry too much!"
The emperor shook his head, and then said: "No matter what kind of methods this Cao Gong has, after tonight, he will definitely be a corpse!"
As he spoke, Cao Gong raised his head and looked towards the sky.
There, a fire suddenly rose and illuminated most of the night sky.
Then, there was a long siren and extremely chaotic sounds.
"Enemy attack!"
"Someone is breaking in, stop them!"
"Ah - we can't stop it!"
Along with the extremely noisy sound, there was the sound of weapons clashing, getting louder and louder and more violent.
It seems that these martial arts warriors have really attacked.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to..." At this time, Wei Zong had some thoughts and wanted to go out and kill the enemy.
But at this time, the emperor suddenly grabbed him, then shook his head slightly at him, and then said calmly: "Don't be anxious, these people are just in the outer palace now. It won't be too late to attack after they enter the inner palace.
.”
"Your Majesty, let us now..." Wei Zong paused for a moment.
The next moment, the emperor slightly opened his mouth and said: "Just wait."
After saying that, he went back to the dragon chair and sat down, and even closed his eyes as if to rest his mind. Seeing this scene, Wei Zong's expression changed, but he didn't say anything.
This emperor is really not in a hurry, and he is also cold-blooded.
In order to deceive those Jianghu warriors into coming in, and then kill them all in one fell swoop, they actually sent the defenders outside to die.
In fact, you don't need to think about it to know that the troops guarding the outer palace must not know the plan of the Jianghu warriors to attack, and their guarding strength is probably extremely weak.
The purpose is to allow those Jianghu warriors to kill all the defenders and then attack directly into the inner palace, where the real killing scene will take place.
The emperor has set up a dragnet here. As long as those martial arts warriors dare to come, the emperor is sure to catch them all and eliminate them completely.
At this time, since there was no rush to see the emperor, Wei Zong was not in a hurry either. Anyway...it would be completely late to wait until those martial arts warriors came over to take action.
Therefore, Wei Zong just leaned against the pillar and looked at the movement outside. In his ears, the sound of shouting and killing was getting closer and closer.
The screams became more and more frequent.
However, most of these are the screams of the defenders. Although ordinary people cannot distinguish them, here at Wei Zong, they can still feel that there are some differences in them.
Based on the increasing number of screams from the defenders, he could also tell that the defenders could no longer hold on. In other words, soon, the martial arts warriors would attack here.
At this time, Wei Zong glanced at the emperor. At this time, the emperor was still closing his eyes and concentrating. He was still extremely calm and seemed not to be in a hurry at all.
Since he was not anxious at all, then Wei Zong would naturally be even less anxious.
finally……
I don't know when it started, but the screams of the defenders outside had completely disappeared, and there was silence outside.
this……
That's not good news.
This means that the defenders outside are completely dead, and those martial artists are heading towards the inner palace.
At this time, the emperor suddenly opened his eyes and showed a strange smile.
"It's almost time!"
He looked at Wei Zong, and then said calmly: "Wei Zong, your people can take action!"
