Chapter 1890: Start work!
Weng Su jumped down from the tree upon hearing the voice and said, "Here we go, are we heading to Xicheng now?"
"No, Qiao Guo."
"Ah?" Weng Su was one of the few people who knew about the sub-plan. After all, the two brothers had been the middlemen between the Black Armor Army and Dr. Li. "Wasn't it originally planned to go to Xicheng?"
"It has changed. The news we received ten days ago has changed. Our people have also ambushed in by using the commercial goods." Dr. Li handed him the note. "Look, the master has confirmed the target of the operation once again."
It was written in code, and it took the Weng brothers several months to memorize the code.
"Okay, let's do it!" Weng Xing rubbed his hands together, but Weng Su was a little worried.
"The target has changed from a city to a country. Do we have enough manpower?"
"The emperor's prediction is accurate and cannot be wrong." Doctor Li said seriously, "Xiecheng is indeed a good target, but Qiaoguo just turned upside down 25 days ago and the people are unstable. Now is a good opportunity to start an uprising."
"Twenty-five days ago?"
Weng Xing interrupted: "You were out on business at that time, and the king of Qiao State had changed."
"Changing the king... Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me when I came back?" Are they still brothers?
"I, I forgot. In our place, you beat me today, and I beat you tomorrow. Changing the name of a country is normal. The people are the same people, and the city is still the same city. What's so strange about changing the king?"
Seeing that the brothers were about to fight, Bo Shili quickly changed the subject: "The new king of Qiao State was weak. Less than half a year after he took the throne, his brother came to the city and forced him to give up the throne, saying that this would not hurt the relationship and they would still be brothers in the future. The foolish king really believed it and opened the city gates. As a result, after his brother entered the city and took the throne, he picked up a knife and not only killed him, but also slaughtered his eight descendants and five old ministers."
Weng Su spat on the ground: "He has no faith and no integrity, and his position is not legitimate!"
"In short, the new king has only been on the throne for 25 days, and he killed his brother only 20 days ago. The entire court dared not say anything, but the people were very critical of him. Because he did not control his subordinates strictly when he led his army into the city, the soldiers took the opportunity to rob and extort in the city, and he did not take it seriously afterwards. When the civilians scolded them, they even brought our Black Armor Army into the picture."
"Oh?" Weng Xing was curious, "What did you say?"
"The common people said that the Dragon God would take down this unscrupulous king for them. You know, there are rumors everywhere that the Dragon God is about to sweep across Shanjin--" Of course, these rumors were spread by them. Dr. Li turned around and told his men to pick up their weapons, and then continued, "The new king must be very angry and scared. He doesn't allow people to make irresponsible comments, and he arrested all the big mouths and threw them into jail. They also don't allow people to worship the Dragon God and the Nine Nether Emperor privately. Once caught, they will either chop off their hands or their heads. In the past twenty days, it is said that at least a dozen heads have been chopped off."
Weng Xing cried out: "Isn't this a prophecy? They are looking forward to the Black Armor Army, and the Black Armor Army will naturally come!"
Weng Su also nodded: "No wonder the note mentioned, 'The people of Qiao miss the Dragon God even more, and are eager for the Black Armor to come, so it is appropriate to be the first to come.'"
No wonder the emperor asked them to start the rebellion from here, it turned out that there was a popular support. However, "The emperor is hundreds of miles away, how can he know that Qiao Min's thoughts are even worse than the Dragon God?"
If a girl he didn't know a hundred miles away missed him, how could he know? At most, his nose would itch a little.
Dr. Li let out a long breath, his heart also surging: "The power of the Dragon God is beyond our comprehension."
Weng Su was still in casual clothes, he just tied his belt and stretched his neck——
"Let's go!"
"Yes, we are sending a truck." Weng Xing corrected him, "We have to disguise ourselves as a caravan and send more than a dozen trucks of goods."
……
Two days later, in the capital of Qiao State.
It was late at night, and the streets were deserted. The notice board under the city gate was covered with notices, and a gust of wind blew the top one away.
The handwriting on the notice was very new. The general meaning was that the birth of the dragon god was pure nonsense and a misleading rumor. People were forbidden to discuss it, and violators would be beaten and thrown into jail. Private worship was also prohibited, and violators would be beheaded.
When such notices were first posted, people would stand nearby and bang gongs, repeatedly reiterating the need to read the contents of the notice aloud for illiterate citizens.
Now it has fallen to the ground and no one cares. The wind blew it to someone's feet, and it was stepped on and turned black in a few steps.
This person is the night watchman.
It was almost the second watch, and he held the gong in his hand but did not strike it. Instead, he walked to the bottom of the city gate and took a walk around it.
The city gates were locked in the evening. There should be six guards at the gate, but there were only four. The other two were more experienced and were sleeping in the room between the city walls.
These four soldiers were standing crookedly and drowsy, and two of them were leaning against the wall and taking a nap.
It's fine to just take this crappy shift. The salary is pitifully low anyway and you can't make much money in a day.
The night watchman walked around lightly, then turned around and made two quick gestures towards the post station.
Behind the city gates there are usually post stations for long and short-distance merchants to feed their horses, rest, and transfer.
Not far away was the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce’s base, and the back door was quietly opened.
Then more than a dozen figures jumped out from the back door of the Chamber of Commerce, went around the back of the stable, and rushed towards the gate.
Normally, there should be no obstacles near the city wall, but not only is the area occupied by the post station, there are also three or four sheds set up by the road tax collectors.
These dozen people hid behind the shed and rushed behind the guards in two moves.
With two loud bangs, the two men fell to the ground. One of the guards woke up suddenly and tried to shout, but was strangled by the neck from behind.
The last man had just caught his breath and hadn't even opened his mouth when he was hit hard on the temple - the night watchman was using a stick tonight, not a gong.
After knocking down the guards, these men quickly pushed away the iron bolts and opened the gate of the capital!
There were also guards on the top of the city wall, but for some reason, after eating two pieces of naan for dinner as usual, they started yawning and couldn't even open their eyes. They would find an empty corner and hide there at night.
There was a noisy noise below the city, like the sound of galloping horses. The two men barely opened their eyes and looked down.
someone.
Huh? Someone?!
A large number of people and horses poured into the city!
Ah? Ah? What happened? The two men were so scared that they ran away from sleep. They were about to ring the bell on the city gate to warn the public when suddenly several feather arrows shot at their feet. Two men in black armor jumped in from outside the parapet and said in a muffled voice: "The black armor soldiers are entering the city. If you don't want to die, get out!"
After so many days of rumors, are the Black Armored Army really here? The two guards looked at their armor and then at the dragon flags of the army below the city, thinking they were dreaming.
It was not until the other side raised the crossbow and aimed it at them again that the two men came back to their senses with a start.
Without wasting a second, they slid down the stone steps and the city wall without ringing the bell. Whoever dares to confront the Black Armored Army will be the one to fight, but they won't do it anyway!
In the darkness of night, the army marched in and rushed towards the palace along the dirt road of the main street.
