"What's going on?"

The Great Elder asked the two secret guards.

"Great Elder, we suspect they are spies sent by the Second Prince."

The secret guard pointed at Murong Fu and Shuang Jian and said.

"Hello, Great Elder. I am the Crown Prince of Zhenbei. Princess Xiangyun is my younger sister and also the Crown Prince's adopted sister. She is not the Second Prince's person.

This prince came here because my sister said that the secret guard camp belongs to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

If something unexpected happens in the capital, let me come to you to discuss rescuing the emperor."

When Murong Fu saw that the secret guards were very respectful to the Great Elder, he knew that the Great Elder was the one in charge here, so he did not lie to him but chose to tell the truth.

The Great Elder's sharp eyes looked at Murong Fu uncertainly, trying to see whether he was lying or telling the truth.

Seeing that his eyes were clear and without flickering, I knew that he was not lying. He was the Prince of Zhenbei.

Of course he knew the relationship between the Dark King and Princess Xiangyun, the Zhenbei King, and the Zhenbei King's son.

Since he was not lying, he was the prince of Zhenbei and a friend of the Dark King.

"So it's His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince. I'm honored to see you. I'm sorry for offending you just now. I hope you'll be magnanimous and forgive us."

After the Great Elder confirmed that the other party was the prince, he immediately bowed and apologized to Murong Fu.

"That's all right! Ignorance is not a crime! This prince has come to discuss saving the emperor and the queen with the Great Elder. Why don't we go in and discuss it in detail?"

Murong Fu did not blame the other party. After all, he was the one who came to him, so it was normal for them to misunderstand him.

Besides, if you need anything from them, you have to lower your posture.

"Okay, please, Prince!"

The Great Elder gestured to invite Murong Fu in to discuss.

Murong Fu walked into the yard first, followed by the Great Elder.

After entering the yard, the elder took the initiative and led him to the meeting room.

After the Grand Elder, the Grand Protector, and the others had taken their seats with Murong Fu, the Grand Protector began to ask, "Your Highness, do you have any good suggestions for rescuing the Emperor? Our Dark Guard Battalion will fully cooperate."

The Great Elder and others nodded in agreement with what the Great Protector said.

"Inside and outside cooperation!"

Murong Fu briefly explained the plan.

He had thought of this idea before coming here.

The Imperial Guards are the emperor's men. It is impossible for them to betray the emperor, and the second prince cannot bribe them at all.

As long as we can contact them, convince them, and get them to cooperate with us, we can successfully rescue the emperor, the queen, and others by working together from inside and outside.

He was not sure about confronting the Second Prince and his men head-on.

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

As long as the emperor and his men are rescued and sent to Goryeo safely, there is still room for a reversal.

"What?"

The Great Protector and others didn't understand for a moment, and asked Murong Fu with a confused look on their faces.

"My plan is to cooperate with both inside and outside forces!"

Murong Fu knew that they didn't understand what he meant, so he explained.

"How can we achieve this? We can't even get into the palace, and there's no one in the palace willing to help us."

"That's right, His Royal Highness, what you said is the same as not saying anything."

"I thought His Royal Highness had some clever trick up his sleeve, but it turns out to be this impossible, awful idea."

When the Great Elder and others heard the phrase "inside and outside cooperation", they thought the prince was joking.

To achieve this, there must be someone in the palace willing to cooperate, even if they are working together from inside and outside.

The emperor was in the palace, and the crown princess was in the palace, but they were both unarmed and no one could help them at all.

So, everyone was disappointed with Murong Fu.

"Have you all forgotten the Imperial Guards? They are the Emperor's men, and they are only loyal to the Emperor.

If we can find them and convince them to cooperate with us, we can work together from within and without, and then we won't have to worry about rescuing the Emperor."

Murong Fu was not angry at all about their sarcasm.

He knew that if he told them this method, they would not believe it. After all, there was no one in the palace, so how could there be any internal or external support?

If I were them, I would have the same attitude.

But what they didn't know was that the Imperial Guards were the emperor's men.

He also has a friend in the Royal Guards.

As long as you find that friend and ask him to introduce you, you can meet Commander Mo of the Imperial Guard.

As long as we convince Commander Mo, we can rescue the emperor through internal and external cooperation.

"The Imperial Guards? Of course we know about them. If the Second Prince forces the Emperor to abdicate, will he let the Imperial Guards live?"

Of course, the Great Elder also knew about the Imperial Guards, who were there to protect the safety of the Emperor and the palace.

If the Second Prince rebels and forces the emperor to abdicate, he will definitely control them at the first opportunity. How could he possibly give them the opportunity to join forces with him?

"Of course not. However, the Second Prince certainly doesn't know that there are more than a hundred Royal Guards in the palace. There are more than two hundred outside the palace. They are all the backup plan and retreat route prepared by the Emperor. As long as we find them and cooperate with them, we can rescue the Emperor."

"There are Imperial Guards outside the palace? How did His Royal Highness know?"

After hearing this, the Great Protector was very shocked. His eyes shone and a smile appeared on his face.

If this is true, saving the emperor will not be difficult.

Murong Fu certainly knew this, as his friend had told him these things after he got drunk one time.

It is said that the truth comes out when one is drunk, and Murong Fu absolutely believed the truthfulness of what he said.

"A friend of mine said this, please believe it. As long as we find them, we can coordinate with them from both inside and outside."

Murong Fu said this very seriously, his eyes were clear without any distracting thoughts, and he didn't seem to be bragging.

"Okay, we believe you."

The elders discussed it for a while and decided that they should trust the prince and give it a try.

They all felt that the prince had no reason to lie to them, after all, it was all for the sake of saving the emperor.

"Since everyone believes it, we should go to them immediately and discuss rescuing the emperor without delay."

Seeing that they all believed in him, Murong Fu felt not only relieved but also grateful.

"Let's go!"

The Great Elder, along with the Great Protector, the Second Elder, and the Second Protector, followed Murong Fu to find the Imperial Guards outside the palace.

The three elders and three guardians stayed in the Dark Guard Camp, waiting for them to return.
