After betraying the Red Turban Army leader and Zu Xiongtu, that bastard fled the battlefield with his own elite troops and also incorporated most of Zu Xiongtu's elite forces.
Although the Red Turban Army appeared to be scattered, it had actually been slowly developing under the leadership of Chu Yingfei.
However, this guy was also greedy. He absorbed too many of Zu Xiongtu's men, which made his development somewhat unstable. Some of Zu Xiongtu's men even suspected that he colluded with the imperial court and killed Zu Xiongtu.
So Chu Yingfei wanted to take drastic measures, so he sent assassins and tricked several loyal followers of Zu Xiongtu into coming to the capital to assassinate the emperor.
Of course, he knew that such a clumsy assassination attempt was absolutely impossible to succeed, but all he needed to do was reveal his Red Turban Army name during the assassination.
When outsiders start spreading rumors that Chu Yingfei even dared to assassinate the emperor, who would dare to suspect that he was colluding with the court?
That guy is incredibly cunning. After my mission with Liang is over, I'll have to kill him before I can leave!
Old Master Cui hated Chu Yingfei with a vengeance, wishing he could tear him to pieces.
When has Cui Daoning ever suffered such a great injustice?
He always boasted about his wisdom and resourcefulness, but he never expected to be tricked by a native in the cycle of reincarnation, almost dying before he could even begin his mission.
Yang Sheng ignored the furious old Taoist Cui and instead stroked his chin, saying, "Assassinate the emperor? This is something we can make good use of."
Lu Panlong is currently in charge of the Imperial Guards. He oversees both the city's defenses and the imperial palace.
If I use this matter properly, I can completely ruin Lu Panlong.
"Oh? What do you want to do?"
Yang Sheng squinted and said, "It's very simple. Don't they want to assassinate the emperor just to make a show of it? Then lure them all to Jin Ding Zhenren and let them try to assassinate him. It will also be a good opportunity to test Jin Ding Zhenren's strength."
However, with their limited resources, they probably wouldn't even be able to get into the palace; we'll need to help them.
To be honest, the defenses of the Liang Kingdom's palace were quite rudimentary, as Yang Sheng knew after visiting it once.
Lu Panlong is just a show-off. He looks tall and mighty, but he's actually a coward with mediocre abilities.
The Imperial Guards became severely corrupt and decadent under his command, far worse than when they were under the command of General Gao Yuanlong.
Therefore, Yang Sheng and his two companions devised a plan and were able to easily bring the assassin into the imperial city.
Inside the inn, eight Red Turban Army assassins were hiding in a small room, waiting for nightfall.
The leader of this group of assassins was Tie Kuang, known in the martial arts world as "Black Demon God," who was a death squad sent by Chu Yingfei, the current leader of the Red Turban Army.
He was originally a bandit, known for his madness, fearlessness, and unruliness.
He had a child recently, but perhaps because of the excessive killing, the child was born with a serious illness and will not live past three months.
It was Chu Yingfei who took his child to seek treatment from renowned doctors in the martial arts world, and even spent a lot of money to buy elixirs from cultivators of immortal sects to prolong his life.
Tie Kuang knew that he had come here to die. Assassinating the emperor would be difficult, and even if they succeeded, they would not be able to leave the imperial city.
But if he doesn't die, his son will die.
He, a mere bandit, couldn't possibly save his son.
Chu Yingfei has already agreed and will spare no expense to save and raise her son.
Half of these eight people, like Tie Kuang, had reasons why they had to come and die.
The other half consisted of Zu Xiongtu, the former leader of the Red Turban Army, and his most loyal confidants.
Since they wouldn't serve Chu Yingfei anyway, it would be perfect for Chu Yingfei to send them to their deaths.
Seeing that it was already dark outside, Tie Kuang said in a deep voice, "Change into your night clothes and let's make our move."
There were no people from the capital among the Red Turban Army; they had only bribed some minor officials in the capital to obtain general information about the palace. With such a crude plan, they would probably have been discovered as soon as they reached the outskirts of the capital.
On a high platform not far from the inn, Yang Sheng and his two companions watched as Tie Kuang and the others made their move.
"It's time for us to make a move. I actually hope these guys can pull themselves together and force Master Jin Ding out. That way, we might be able to take action now."
Han Yu stroked his chin as he spoke.
Plans never keep up with changes, and now that he has the opportunity to act, Yang Sheng wants to get rid of Jin Ding Zhenren as soon as possible.
But Yang Sheng still shook his head and said, "The chances are very slim. The gap between these people and Jin Ding Zhenren is too big. Jin Ding Zhenren might be able to kill them all with a wave of his hand."
After saying this, the three of them headed towards the imperial city.
