On the other side, Haoyue Kingdom
With the death of Hua Guoshi, the great battle in front of the Xuanhe Palace finally subsided. Who would have thought that someone could use a fake Dzi bead to trigger a multi-camp melee, resulting in over a thousand casualties.
The instigator was the young woman in the watchtower who talked about controlling the king's army to pacify the world.
Seeing Pei Zhiyuan looking at him, Shen Xu turned back to look at him, and his originally cold and creepy smile faded. He asked him gently, "Master Pei, are you willing to believe me now?"
Pei Zhiyuan also laughed, but still did not answer her question directly. Instead, he thought for a moment and asked, "Miss Shen asked me this, does this plan have the next stage of benefits?"
"Of course, there's also the Royal Guards, who will quell the rebellion and foil the North Sea Kingdom's plan to assassinate the envoy."
Pei Zhiyuan lowered his head and chuckled, as if he had let down his guard. He said sincerely, "I now believe in the young lady's ambition. Let there be more joy and less sadness under the blue sky and blue clouds. I am convinced."
"Time is running out. Next, we need to prepare and send a big gift to the Xue family in the north."
Pei Zhiyuan pursed his lips and said nothing. When she mentioned the Xue family in the north, his expression immediately froze and he felt something was wrong. If she really went to the north, would she recover her memory and help the Xue family to overthrow the Xiao family's empire?
No, this person is too dangerous.
Kill her?
Pei Zhiyuan secretly tightened the knife in his hand, his heart beating rapidly with nervousness. He was hesitant in his heart. If he killed her now, how could he control the king's army and how could he put down the rebellion?
But, she will eventually remember her memory of being the eldest daughter of the Xue family, return to the north, drive away wolves and eagles, and gallop across the world.
At this time, Captain Song, holding a crossbow, went up to the observation deck from the internal stairs of the watchtower, covered in dust. He pushed away the Yulin soldiers who were standing there at a loss after attacking, wiped the sweat from his face, and held the spring-powered crossbow in his hand.
"Niece-in-law, Old Song, I'm convinced."
Shen Xu showed a comfortable and happy smile and praised: "Uncle, your eyesight is really good. The armor-piercing arrows didn't have any effect."
Captain Song raised the crossbow in his hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Old Song thought he was going to fight the enemy in battle, but he didn't expect that his martial arts skills would be useless."
He originally thought that this plan was too absurd and almost impossible to implement. How could he possibly shoot down Master Hua who was surrounded by secret guards from such a long distance from the watchtower to the open space in front of Xuanhe Palace?
But in order to ensure the safety of Song Lin and Shen Xu, he fully cooperated with Shen Xu's entire plan.
Since they followed Pei Zhiyuan into the capital, Captain Song also sneaked into the capital and kept in secret contact with Song Lin.
Before Hua Guoshi summoned Song Lin, Shen Xu had been investigating intelligence about the imperial palace in the capital. Combining this with the palace defense map previously given by Xiao Mingcheng and Pei Zhiyuan, he confirmed the route of the hidden invasion.
He used the sign given by Shen Xu to find Lao Qian of the Jingmen Street Storytelling House, and negotiated with the man using the words Shen Xu had prepared, and indeed got their support.
The whistling arrow device outside the palace was set up by that group of people.
When the first sound of the arrow was heard, Captain Song took advantage of the fact that the guards in Qichiweng Lane were distracted and sneaked into the palace with the power crossbow that had been prepared long ago.
When the second whistling arrow sounded, it was known that Shen Xu had already obtained the Dzi Bead. At the same time, the guards would be attracted by Song Lin, and everyone's attention was focused on the Alchemy Hall.
He hid in the northeast corner of the palace, waiting for the opportunity.
Then, when someone placed the red gauze bag at the designated location, according to the agreement, at dawn, the third shot of the arrow from the northeast corner was fired.
After hearing the sound of whistling arrows in the northeast corner, Lao Qian would send people to activate the whistling arrow devices set up in the inner and outer cities, setting off a firestorm in the entire imperial city. All the guards would be alarmed and transferred away.
Captain Song then rushed into the watchtower in the dark, set up the spring-powered crossbow on the windowsill of the ventilation compartment, and disguised himself as a guard of the watchtower.
Seeing Pei Zhiyuan coming to kill him, he avoided the two of them, returned to the ventilation compartment, and began to wait for the opportunity.
When the fourth whistle sounded, Master Hua had already been attracted over. Captain Song's vision in the ventilation compartment was not very good, but he could hear the boiling voices and shouting.
At this time, Master Hua had already entered the planned scope, which was basically the same as what Shen Xu had preset.
In order to ensure that the sniper plan can defeat the enemy in one blow, Song Lin pretended to surrender and found out the number of secret guards around Master Hua. This was the first time he played a flattering role. Although he was very resistant, he performed very hard.
In order to ensure the success rate of the sniper attack, he was responsible for finding ways to lure the secret guards around Master Hua.
Except for the two secret guards who were trapped and died in the formation, the six secret guards around Master Hua and Yuan Shengjie were all very vigilant. The two chaotic fights among the Yulin Guards provoked by Shen Xu and Song Lin failed to attract the six people to join the battle.
In the end, he had to use his eloquence to anger the imperial teacher and lure four of them away.
The fifth shot of the arrow whistled, meaning that Master Hua had already entered the range alone. The Yulin Guards stationed by Old Qian in the palace would also follow suit and fire arrows into the sky, drawing everyone's attention to the sentry tower to witness the sentry tower sniper plan that Shen Xu had announced at the beginning.
Captain Song was not optimistic about this crossbow at first. He thought that if it failed, he would rush down with a knife and take off Master Hua's dog head himself.
Unexpectedly, the power of this crossbow exceeded his imagination.
An arrow pierced his head and he died instantly.
Shen Xu greeted him with a smile and explained gently, "I'm just worried that my uncle's martial arts skills are too high and he might alert the enemy in advance."
Captain Song's face was stern and he asked her worriedly, "What's wrong with your leg?"
"It's okay. Where's Cheng'er?"
