The commander of the guards promised to clear their names and asked if anyone knew where the fifteen hundred men had gone.

At this time, a soldier stood up and said that he had heard the commander say that in order to make up for the failure of the operation on Mid-Autumn Night, a plan to wipe out several important targets would be implemented tonight.

At the same time, the commander of the Imperial Guards told his men to keep a close eye on these soldiers. When the commander was caught and the facts were ascertained, they would deal with these captured soldiers.

Because it concerned the safety of ministers in the court, the commander of the imperial guard did not dare to delay and immediately sent people to report to the crown prince, the crown princess, and Lord Wu Zheng who was on a mission in the city.

When Wu Zheng learned that 1,500 rebel soldiers had gone out on a mission, he was afraid that the target of the mission would be either the imperial palace or the ministers in important positions.

Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan had already told Wu Zheng that he didn't need to worry about the palace. He just needed to capture the assassins.

If there is anything unusual in the various mansions in the city, the guards stationed in the homes of various officials for protection are not enough. If the enemy sends more people, they may need reinforcements, and Wu Zheng will have to send more people.

Now that Wu Zheng knew the situation, he immediately dispatched the task force that had been arranged in advance to send additional personnel to the homes of officials of the third rank and above. He also sent some people to the homes of officials of the fourth and fifth ranks to check.

When the reinforcements arrived, they saw fierce fighting in the homes of several first- and second-rank officials.

Because every first-rank and second-rank official had five additional guards at home, and these guards had drugs on them, so when the first round of assassins came to assassinate, they had already been knocked unconscious by the drugs.

The rebel soldiers who arrived later were numerous and scattered, so using the drug alone would not be enough to knock out all of them.

There were poisoned rebels in front, and the rebel soldiers behind took precautions. They not only wore scarves but also took antidote pills.

These detoxification pills were developed by Xiao Yunyan, which their master behind the scenes managed to find and had his pharmaceutical experts imitate.

Although the efficacy of the pills is not comparable to that of anti-inflammatory drugs, it also has a certain detoxification effect. So they take the pills not one by one, but a handful.

Because of the combined detoxifying effects of these pills, they can really resist the drugs developed by Xiao Yunyan.

Those rebel soldiers who were not poisoned fought with real swords and guns against the guards and soldiers from various prefectures.

The strength of the soldiers in each prefecture was not strong enough, but they had a lot of people. In addition, each prefecture also had secret guards with strong martial arts skills. With the help of five guards with strong martial arts skills, they did not lose out in the fight with the rebels.

Although the enemy attacked very fiercely, they did not have the ability to rush into the mansions and kill their owners.

However, among these rebels, there were martial arts masters who were specifically responsible for taking advantage of the chaos to enter the inner courtyard and assassinate their masters.

Therefore, the personal guards and palace soldiers who were protecting their master were also fighting fiercely.

These rebel masters were obviously specially trained. They ordered the palace soldiers and personal guards to fight back desperately, and many of them were injured.

The scene was very intense. The officials under protection also took up weapons to protect themselves. Their families had long since hidden in their houses and dared not make a sound.

Some of the guards and soldiers around the officials were seriously injured and unable to protect their masters. They planned to exchange their lives for each other's lives in order to protect their masters.

At this critical moment, reinforcements arrived. According to Wu Zheng's instructions, they must go to the inner court first to ensure the safety of the ministers and their families, and then fight the enemy together according to the situation.

The reinforcements arrived at the critical moment, and without a word, they joined the battle. In an instant, the situation was reversed.

The rebels saw that they had no chance of winning, and their soldiers were also heavily wounded. Each team leader ordered to take hostages and retreat. This was also the battle plan they had discussed before. If the enemy was too strong, they might be surrounded. Before retreating, they must take one or two important targets as hostages.

The reinforcements, guards, and ambushers who participated in the battle tried their best to protect the organization. However, the enemy's goal was to directly pin down one or two of the organizations, which was also a very tricky matter. One was afraid that they would kill these organizations directly, and the other was afraid that they would take the opportunity to eat and drive people away. There would be unexpected dangers. However, before the action, Wu Zheng had already ordered that if there was a choice between the hostage's life being in danger and being robbed, he would choose to let the other party successfully rob the hostage. The purpose was to ensure the personal safety of the hostages while following them and finding their lair.

Two groups of rebels succeeded in taking hostages. One second-rank official and one third-rank official were successfully captured by the rebels. They were all wounded and had a hard time running. The ones who followed were the reinforcements behind. They had no wounds and were in good physical condition, so they followed all the way.

In order to shake off the pursuers behind them, the rebels in front kept changing directions in the alleys and streets in an attempt to escape pursuit.

However, the pursuers were always behind, following them slowly and steadily, which made the deserters in front panic. They wanted to escape quickly, so they threatened the pursuers behind with hostages to stop chasing them, otherwise they would take the hostages' lives.

The guards who were chasing them shouted angrily, "You are a bunch of traitors. The emperor has treated you well, yet you dare to do such a treasonous thing? Why don't you surrender quickly?"

"Stop talking nonsense! If he chases us again, we will kill him!" The rebel put his sword against the neck of the third-rank official.

"Don't be impulsive, let's stop." The leader of the team of pursuers waved his hand and everyone stopped.

Seeing this, the rebels relaxed their vigilance a little and continued to flee forward. However, they did not realize that the pursuers behind them quietly split into two teams, one team continued to follow from a distance, and the other team went around to the front to investigate the rebels' real destination.

What the rebels didn't know was that the hostage had already attached a tracking charm provided by the guards to the inside of the hem of his robe when he was attacked.

Even if the guards followed from a distance, they would not lose them. However, they did not dare to leave the hostages too far away, lest they kill them directly when they could escape safely.

They chased all the way to a small town outside the capital. This place was five or six miles away from the valley where the troops were stationed. It seemed that they did not want to expose the location of the troops. Little did they know that the station had been wiped out. The five hundred people were all instigated to rebel and were now under guard in the Imperial Guard barracks.

The rebels gathered in this small town. Although it was night, more than 1,500 people came to this town one after another. It was impossible that there was no noise. The local people were so scared that they closed the gates again. Even if they got up at night, they didn't dare to light candles.

Some brave ones secretly poked their heads out from the wall to see what was happening. But it was too dark, there was no moon, and the light from the stars was not enough for them to see clearly what was happening at the street corner in the distance.

But listening to the hurried footsteps, they could tell something big must have happened, so the men quickly went into the house, bolted the door, dragged the heavy table and stools over, and propped the door shut.

The people were ready. The rebels who had escaped had fought for a long time and then fled. They were really hungry. So they knocked on the doors of every house, hoping to get some food from the people.

But the frightened people dared not open the gate, for they knew clearly that these people were definitely not government soldiers.

Since the emperor's grandsons took over the government in Beichuan, there were very clear regulations on military discipline. They were not allowed to disturb the people. They were not allowed to go to the people's homes to ask for money, food, drinks and various supplies, otherwise they would be beaten with military sticks.

With the direct management and training of the Imperial Guards by Marquis Wu Zheng, the military discipline was very strict. It was impossible for them to knock on the doors of the people in the middle of the night, so those who knocked on the doors might be bandits or robbers. So the people hid in their houses and pretended not to hear them, and refused to open the door.

Although these rebels were all civilians with a sense of justice, their military discipline was not that strict.

The young men were starving and wanted to get some food from the people's houses. Since they would not open the door for them, they jumped over the wall and continued to knock on the door.

The men in the room had to speak up even though they were very timid. They summoned up their courage and asked loudly, "Who is knocking on the door in the middle of the night? What's the matter?"

The rebels spoke politely. The soldier in the yard said, "Don't be afraid, folks. We are stationed outside the city. We missed the meal because we were on a mission at night and are very hungry. We happened to be stationed here temporarily. Please give us some food. We will never burn, kill or rob. We just want some food and we will leave after we get it."

Although these men knew that opening the door was very dangerous, it would be easier if the other party wanted to break in through the window.

The lives of the whole family have long been in the control of others. Now let's look at the soldiers outside who are talking kindly. Do they really just want something to eat?

One after another, people opened their doors, brought out the remaining food from their homes, and quickly kneaded dough and boiled water to make noodles for the hungry soldiers.

There is no stew, just hand-rolled noodles made of boiled grains, with a little salt, some vegetable leaves, and a small spoonful of lard added to the soup. There is also a piece of pickled vegetables picked out at home, cut into small pieces, and sprinkled on the noodles.

This simple meal is something that every household can make, and it is also the soldiers' favorite food. They eat it with soup and water until they are full.

The soldiers really did not harass the people any more. They kept their promise and left quickly after thanking the people for the food.

The guards who followed secretly did not directly intervene in the harassment of the civilians because of their small number. Instead, they secretly observed that the rebel soldiers did not harm the civilians, but only asked for some food, so they did not intervene.

After the rebels gathered, they had no plans to move to other places. The guards who followed secretly told Wu Zheng the result. Wu Zheng asked them to continue to observe. Because the hostages were temporarily safe, there was no rush to rescue them.

The rebels in the town did not take any action for the time being. Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan interrogated the assassins who participated in the assassination. During the process, the assassins were clueless. However, the two used telepathy to find some new clues.

Some of these assassins knew Qin Zheng. However, they were not commanded by Qin Zheng. Instead, they were hired by a young man who spoke a foreign language and spent a lot of money.

Let them make the Beichuan capital as chaotic as possible. If this operation is successful, they will be stationed 60 miles outside the capital and have 20,000 soldiers stockpiled. They will take advantage of the chaos to break into the imperial city and completely occupy it, overthrowing the rule of Beichuan.

Xiao Yunyan, Li Mohan, and eight other princesses and princes have magic, but there is still a group of evil wizards waiting for them to occupy the capital and specifically deal with the prince's family of ten.

These wizards used extremely strange and cruel methods. One wizard kept thousands of snakes. He could instantly wrap up a family of ten with a swarm of snakes. They believed that the snake venom would kill the prince's family instantly.

Even if the snakes were ineffective, other mages would use various methods in succession while being surrounded by the snakes. A round-robin battle would kill a family of ten. If the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess hid in the space, they would not be afraid.

If the prince and his family hid in the space, it would be impossible to stop them from ascending the throne and seizing imperial power.

It is said that it is not someone from the outside world who wants to enter Beichuan to become the emperor. They have a person who can be supported by the people of the world to be the new emperor of Beichuan. And the supporters of the outside world will benefit from it.
