As soon as the man finished speaking, everyone present showed excitement.

"Although Chu State pressed against the prince step by step, and even dug a fire pit to force the prince to jump down, the prince thought that most of them had families and careers, and could not bear to put everyone too much intimidation." Dai Ling sighed: "The prince has recreated his grace to Dai. My life has long belonged to the prince, so I can't see that the prince is not as good as the fire pit, and he has to fight to the death no matter what, but you can still make a choice now."

"General Dai, what do you mean?" Someone sneered: "You have been kind to the prince, aren't we? No matter what others think of me, I will give my life to the prince!"

When others heard this, they all vowed allegiance.

"Okay!" Dai Ling said: "You are all loyal and courageous people. Since we have decided, there is nothing to say. Please come out and take charge of us!"

"Prince?" Someone said in surprise: "Didn't the prince take Huangshan? Could it be..."

Suddenly, a voice laughed and said, "It's just a strategy of hitting the east and west." Amid the laughter, a man walked in through the side door, and everyone looked over with the fire. The person came in a long blue robe, but it was Li Hongxin, the King of Shu.

Everyone was shocked and then they knelt on the ground.

"All get up, all get up." Li Hongxin raised his hand and said, "After many years, you are still in the same mind as me, which moved me very much." He walked over and helped the two of them up, and the others stood up one after another.

Behind Li Hongxin, the chief secretary Ximen Hengye also followed like a shadow.

Li Hongxin walked up to Lu Yi, patted Lu Yi's shoulder, and said quietly: "Lu Yi, you have made your first contribution. I will remember that after the matter is completed, I will reward you according to your merits."

Lu Yi bowed and said, "I wish to go through fire and water for the prince."

Li Hongxin smiled gently again and then said, "Brothers, Lu Yi has transported weapons from outside the city. Everyone knows that when the Chu army was approaching, I was forced to surrender to the Chu people. To be honest, I will not want to restore Shu for a day. This is our land. The people here are our people, but they are going to be oppressed by the Chu people. In recent years, Chu State has imposed heavy taxes in our Shu area. In order to unify the world, the people in our Shu area suffered a lot. It can be said that the people are living in poverty. I must not sit idly by, so I have made some preparations in secret."

One person couldn't help but say, "It turns out that the prince has been preparing secretly. The general... The general only thought that the prince had long forgotten to revive Shu, and he had been sad for many years."

"Hahaha..." Li Hongxin smiled and said, "A real man can bend and stretch, but he cannot be without ambition. I attracted the attention of the government, but in secret, General Dai wanted to store weapons. However, the equipment he hid was almost found by Qi Ning. Fortunately, it was transferred in time. The weapons stored at present were enough to equip four or five thousand people."

Everyone present was shocked.

They were all from the army and knew that they needed four or five thousand people. The weapons and equipment needed were really a big number. Over the years, Li Hongxin has been closely monitored by the government and would be stared at by the government if they move. I really don’t know how Li Hongxin could store such a huge batch of weapons. After all, after the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom, he issued a knife hunting order. The sharp weapons and horses are the two most strictly managed by the government. Ordinary people cannot have swords and guns at all. Once found out, it is equivalent to a crime of treason.

Because of this, there are almost no wrought iron workshops among the people. Even blacksmith shops must be registered for every ironware, and the ironware created must be engraved with the name of the blacksmith shop to facilitate the government's verification.

Therefore, there is almost no weapon forging site in Xichuan, and the equipment required by Xichuan soldiers and horses was also transferred by the court.

If Li Hongxin wanted to forge weapons, in addition to ore, he also needed excellent craftsmen. Xichuan had craftsmen with skills in building weapons, and there were also cases to be investigated in the government. The movements of these people were also under the attention of the government. Therefore, Li Hongxin was very difficult in terms of ore and craftsmen.

Li Hongxin seemed to see the doubts of the crowd and said, "You are living and dying with me. I will not hide it from you. These weapons have been transported from the East China Sea for years. They cannot be transported too much at each time. They have been a little bit. They have also spent a lot of effort to transport these weapons into Xichuan." He raised his hand and pointed at Lu Yi and said, "All this is also Lu Yi's credit. The Yiwei Escort Agency has secretly helped me transport weapons over the years, and has opened up a road to entry into the pass. Although it has cost a lot of money, it seems that the money spent today is really worth it."

"East Sea?" One general said in surprise: "Your Majesty said that these weapons were transported from the East Sea?"

"The tyranny of Chu State is not the only one who suffers from Shu." Li Hongxin sneered: "The Han family, the King of Donghai, was also domineering the East China Sea in the East China Sea. Later, they were defeated by Chu State. The Donghai family was bullied by Chu State. The Jiang family in the East China Sea secretly prepared to raise an army. During the Qinhuai War, we were not prepared enough to act rashly. We were originally prepared to revive the Chu army when the North China Sea was in the North China Sea. I was echoing the Xichuan side, but it was a pity...!"

"So that's it." Someone sighed: "I heard that the Jiang family in Donghai was wiped out by the imperial court, and the culprit was also named Qi. If...ah, it would be a pity."

"The Jinyi Qi family has always been a great enemy of our Xichuan." Someone said, "Prince, we must cut the Qi family into pieces this time, so that the Jinyi Qi family will be cut off the descendants of the descendants." Speaking of the descendants of the descendants, Li Hongxin's eyes twitched slightly, and a cold murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

Li Hongxin only had his only son, but he was killed a few months ago. Although there is no direct evidence to prove that it is related to Qi Ning, everyone knows what happened at that time. Under that situation, if the death of the Prince of Shu was not involved in Qi Ning, no one believed it.

The prince of Shu was killed, and Li Hongxin was old, so it would be extremely difficult to have a child. If he had no children, the Li family of Shu, who had been passed down in Xichuan for hundreds of years, would have completely lost their descendants.

Ximen Hengye didn't say anything. At this moment, he finally took a step forward and said, "Everyone, in order to attract the attention of Qi Ning and Wei Shutong, the prince used a substitute to go to Huangshan. The substitute was trained secretly for many years. His appearance was similar to that of the prince. If he covered it up a little, no one could recognize it at all."

Only then did everyone realize that the King of Shu who was heading to Huangshan to worship his mother was actually Li Hongxin's substitute.

"The prince is on his way, Wei Shutong and Qi Ning naturally could not have thought that we would take action tonight." Ximen Hengye looked solemn: "You guys have broken up into pieces and disguised themselves into the city. The Nanmenya General Yang Lin is also the prince's person. He has always been hidden in his eyes. Just wait for the great use today. If you come in from the South Gate, with Yang Lin's protection, this matter naturally cannot attract Wei Shutong's attention. So he could not have imagined that today, more than 400 elite soldiers have sneaked into the city quietly."

"The Chief Secretary, there are less than a hundred guards in the governor's mansion, and our number is far greater than them." A general said: "When the night kills them, they will be caught off guard and will definitely succeed in one fell swoop."

Ximen Hengye took a map from his sleeve and spread it on the table. Everyone formed a circle and saw that the picture was the city defense map of Chengdu Prefecture City. There were signs on it in all parts of Chengdu.

"Wei Shutong has two thousand guards under his command, but hundreds of people were transferred to Heiyanling, so there are only more than one thousand people in his hand now." Ximen Hengye said: "These more than one thousand people are distributed in the city to prepare." He stretched out his finger and pointed at several places: "The guards are mainly guarding the four city gates. Everyone knows that each of the four gates has two hundred people taking turns on duty all year round, so the four gates dispersed nearly a thousand troops. This is the guard barracks, and hundreds of people have been transferred, and there are only five or six hundred people here at present."

Everyone held their breath and knew that Ximen Hengye was making arrangements on behalf of Li Hongxin.

"If we talk about military strength, even if we transfer all the Jinguan Guards into the city, we cannot compare with their military strength. Moreover, the time is too hasty and too conspicuous. Today we can only sneak into the hundreds of people in our hands and cannot drag them down. Therefore, this operation can only rely on these people in our hands." Ximen Hengye looked cold: "We cannot defeat them in military strength, but one thing we have the advantage, that is, we win by surprise. The prince's substitute attracts their attention. They will not expect that the prince is still in charge of the overall situation in the city, so they will not expect that we will take action tonight. At this time, we suddenly kill. The governor's guards are not in time to rescue, but we have the upper hand in military strength."

Dai Ling nodded and said, "But once the governor's mansion is killed, the governor's guard will soon notice it."

"The governor's mansion is in the center of Chengdu Prefecture, and is far from the four gates." Ximen Hengye smiled sinisterly: "We will reach the governor's mansion. Even if someone asks for help from the guards, it will take nearly half an hour to rush over. When the officers and soldiers from the four gates arrive at the governor's mansion for rescue, it will take an hour to add up, and there will be a barracks in the northeast corner. In order to separate the soldiers and civilians, Wei Shu and the barracks are located in the northeast corner. The distance between the guards and the governor's mansion is not close to the four gates, so we have an hour of time to act. As long as we can control the governor's mansion within one hour, then this operation will be considered successful."

Dai Ling said: "Yes, I took Qi Ning and Wei Shutong and controlled the governor's mansion. The governor's guards had no heads, and they were just a pile of loose sand. When the prince came forward, no one would dare to move."

"When we attacked the governor's mansion, there were nearly a hundred guards in the royal palace, and they would quickly pounce on the arsenal." Ximen Hengye pointed at a place on the map with his finger: "We control the governor's mansion, and they can also quickly control the arsenal. Before dawn tomorrow, the remaining troops of Jinguan Guards could arrive in the city. At that time, the city gates were blocked and the heads of Qi Ning and Wei Shutong were hung. No one dared to act rashly in the entire Chengdu Palace. The prince climbed the high place and shouted, and the big thing was completed."
