As soon as night fell in the streets and alleys of Qianjing City, piles of scattered firelights began to light up.
Viewed from a high altitude, these firelights are like little bits of starlight.
Slowly the fire turned into a fire dragon, and more and more people came out of their homes to express their condolences to their families with paper money.
Only during the Hungry Ghost Festival can the capital be opened to fire.
However, there are strict regulations that every household must prepare a money basin.
All paper money can only be burned in the money basin.
At the same time, there are Jinwu guards guarding the streets and alleys to prevent fires from starting.
"It's on fire, it's on fire!"
I don't know who shouted, and then I saw a raging fire burning in a house.
This is not a rare thing during the Hungry Ghost Festival, although the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty are already very strict.
At the same time, we are very well prepared, but there are a few fires every year.
"It's on fire! It's on fire!"
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
……
As more and more screams came, those who lowered their heads and burned paper finally realized that something was wrong.
There seem to be a lot more fires this year.
In just the blink of an eye, dozens of cases have already happened.
And these fires are very scattered.
With so many fires suddenly breaking out, Jinwu Guards obviously became a little inadequate.
If fires gather in one place, it will be good if the Jinwu Guards gather together.
But now the fire locations are too scattered.
Jinwu Guard is obviously not enough.
"It's on fire! It's on fire!"
"That direction looks like the home of the Minister of Civil Affairs?"
Looking at the direction where the fire appeared, someone looked at the direction where the fire dragon rolled up and said uncertainly.
Soon more red dragons will appear in that direction.
That area, where senior officials from the capital were gathered, was plunged into a sea of fire.
In just half an hour, fires were already burning in hundreds of places throughout Qianjing City.
In addition to the fire, there were also fierce fights in Beijing.
Who are the two parties fighting? The residents of Jinwuwei know one party, but they don’t know the other party.
It's just that these perpetrators are obviously much more powerful than the Jinwu Guards.
In just one face-to-face encounter, most of the Jinwu Guards were killed or injured.
After killing all the Jinwu Guard thieves, they took torches and fire starters and started setting fires.
It's as if they want to burn down the entire Qianjing City.
There was chaos in Qianjing City, and Qin He, who was in the palace, quickly got the news.
After hearing the news of the chaos in Qianjing City, Qin He immediately understood that the people arranged by Wu and Teng had finally lost their patience and took action.
"The imperial troops were ordered to be banned and the palace doors were tightly closed. Anyone who approached the palace wall instead would be killed without mercy!"
"It is decreed that all palaces should lock their palace doors tightly. No matter what happens, the palace doors are not allowed to be opened. Even if there is a fire in the palace, they must be kept by me in the palace. Anyone who dares to leave the palace will be punished by the nine tribes!"
Qin He is not a Holy Mother-type emperor, so in the face of such a situation, Qin He still decides to cut it off.
Qin He's order was quickly passed on.
However, when Qin He's order reached the imperial army guarding the palace gate, there were already countless thieves on the city wall, and they took advantage of the chaos to kill on the palace wall.
The little eunuch who came to deliver the order saw this scene and turned around and ran back.
When he saw the little eunuch running away, a Qi Gathering master beside Chen Hao raised his hand and was about to shoot the little eunuch.
However, Chen Hao pressed him down.
"He was sent by Emperor Sheng to deliver the message. Follow him and you will find Emperor Sheng."
"You few follow me to find Emperor Sheng. The rest of us quickly occupy the city wall. This is the only way for us to leave. We must not miss anything!"
Chen Hao followed the previous plan and calmly gave the instructions.
"Yes!"
The plan went so smoothly, which also made the party carrying out the task very happy.
In this plan, Wu Guo and Teng Guo offered extremely high rewards.
As long as this plan is completed, they will not need to worry about training resources for at least ten years.
Although they have lost some people in the process, the overall loss is still less than they estimated.
And losing more people means that after the task is completed, they will be able to allocate more resources.
This is why they are willing to fight with their lives.
Chen Hao brought three masters of the earth rankings with him, and followed the little eunuch and quickly passed through the palaces of the palace.
The little eunuch ran further and further into the distance, and soon reached the edge of the palace.
Chen Hao, who was following behind, looked at the direction in which the little eunuch was running, and felt more and more that his decision was correct.
If he were Qin He, he would definitely hide as far away as possible at this time.
Sitting openly in the royal study room is definitely an act seeking death.
Chen Hao didn't believe it. Qin He didn't get any news about such a big move.
Now that we have received the news, we must be prepared.
Now it is normal for Qin He to hide in such a remote place.
Finally, the little eunuch ran to a very remote palace called Juyouxuan.
The little eunuch pushed open the palace door and disappeared into Juyouxuan in a flash.
Chen Hao looked at Ju Youxuan, who was completely dark with no light at all, and felt something was very wrong.
Although this place is remote enough, it definitely doesn't look like a place where Qin He hides.
This is more like a trap!
"Let's go!"
Chen Hao did not hesitate, turned around and took the people away.
But at this moment, an old voice came from inside the open door: "Since Grandmaster Chen is here, why are you leaving in a hurry?"
The voice was behind, but the person had already appeared on the route where Chen Hao and the others were preparing to retreat.
Chen Hao looked at the ageless old eunuch standing in front of him, his eyes narrowed tightly.
The strength of this old eunuch is very, very terrifying.
It is a powerful existence that Chen Hao cannot discern at a glance.
This person is definitely a great master.
Looking at the old eunuch, Chen Hao couldn't figure out why an eunuch with mutilated limbs could become a great master.
But at this time, these are not things that he needs to urgently know the answer to.
Chen Hao looked at the ignorant old eunuch opposite him and said, "I really didn't expect that there was actually a great master hidden in the Zhou Palace.
But if you deal with the four of us here, not only will you not be able to win, but it will also give us a chance to really kill Qin He."
The old lady listened to Chen Hao's words and responded: "You mean Li Rui, of course he has someone to deal with him.
And the person who can deal with him may be able to kill you much faster than I can."
The old eunuch's words made Chen Hao's face darken.
The old eunuch's words clearly indicate that there is a great master hidden in this palace.
If this is the case, then their plan may come to nothing.
Such a change was something they had never imagined before.
Before they came, they had thought that there might be a great master hidden in the palace.
After all, Da Zhou’s heritage is here, and it wouldn’t be unusual even if there really was a great master hidden in the palace.
But the two great masters were not part of their plan.
"Let's kill him together!"
Chen Hao was decisive at this time.
I feel that my side must use the numerical advantage to kill the old eunuch immediately.
Kill the old eunuch and join Li Rui when the time comes. They still have a chance to complete the mission.
"Ah!"
Before Chen Hao could take action, he heard screams coming from behind him.
Chen Hao suddenly turned around and saw Han Xiong, the Hunyuan Hammer ranked fifth on the Earth Ranking, using the Hunyuan Hammer in his hand to blow open the head of Yin Hongyi, who was ranked eighth on the Earth Ranking.
With one successful blow, Han Xiong retreated directly to the same distance from the old eunuch and Chen Hao.
"This is my token."
Han Xiong threw half of the token to the old eunuch.
The old eunuch took Han Xiong's token and compared it with the half in his hand. They were perfect.
It can be confirmed that Han Xiong is their internal agent.
The old eunuch nodded and threw half of the token to Han Xiong again.
Seeing this scene, even a fool can understand that Han Xiong is a traitor.
Chen Hao looked at this scene with eyes splitting with anger: "Han Xiong, how dare you betray us!"
Han Xiong smiled sarcastically and said: "Master Chen, this is not a betrayal.
The great Zhou Dynasty is the orthodox one, while Wu and Teng are the traitors.
I can only say that this is a return to orthodoxy, but it has nothing to do with betrayal."
"I'm going to kill you!" Chen Hao roared with fierce eyes.
Chen Hao really didn't expect that the spy would be hiding next to them.
Seeing that Chen Hao was about to attack Han Xiong, the old eunuch directly stopped Chen Hao.
Han Xiong directly faced the ninth-ranked grandmaster.
There was a fight here in Ju Youxuan, so the commotion was naturally quite big.
Li Rui, who was dressed as a eunuch on the street outside the imperial study, looked in the direction of Ju Youxuan, his brows furrowed tightly.
Chen Hao and the others fell into a trap, and it was a Grandmaster-level trap. Although this was unexpected, Li Rui felt that everything was still under his control.
Li Rui was very sure that Qin He was now in the imperial study room, which was separated by a wall from him.
The fact that Qin He can sit safely in the imperial study room means that Qin He feels that his plan is perfect.
At this time, Li Rui suddenly appeared, and he would definitely be able to catch Qin He off guard.
Just when Li Rui was about to cross the high wall and kill Qin He.
However, he saw Qin Che walking towards him step by step with a Qianjun knife in his hand on the long corridor.
When he saw Qin Che, Li Rui subconsciously saluted.
However, he found that Qin Che had already locked onto him. Li Rui knew that it would be useless to salute at this time, as his identity had been exposed.
"Prince Ze is indeed very capable. I thought I had hidden it very well, but I still couldn't escape Prince Ze's eyes."
"Before I take action, I have a question that I would like Prince Ze to answer."
Li Rui asked Qin Che with an age that was completely inconsistent with his face.
"Say." Qin Che said indifferently.
Li Rui looked at Qin Che and asked: "I want to know how I was exposed? Where did I expose myself and was discovered by Prince Ze."
