The war is imminent, and the war is in chaos in Jinling City.

Long Chen came out of Honggui Inn and quickly found a hiding place.

You can see Fuyuan Tower in this place and the mobilization of the imperial guards.

Long Chen lies down there, waiting for the night to fight.

....

Royal Palace.

Li Chengdao fell asleep on the couch, and then Zhong Gui came out to breathe and drink a sip of water.

When serving the emperor, you cannot eat, drink, defecate, and urinate. Holding urine and enduring hunger are the basic skills.

After drinking the water, Zhong Gui urinated again.

After the solution is solved, I will immediately prepare to continue serving in the imperial study room.

At this time, Eunuch Liu from Xuanruo Palace hurried over and whispered to Zhong Gui: "Master General."

Zhong Gui stopped and saw that it was Eunuch Liu, so he asked, "Is the Empress healthy?"

Zhong Gui knew about Xuan Ruo Dian's treatment at night.

Eunuch Liu replied: "Okay, Doctor Shen's medicine is very good."

Zhong Gui nodded and said, "That's good. It's the right thing for us servants to serve our masters well."

"If the master is okay, we will be fine; if the master is bad, we will lose our heads."

Eunuch Liu nodded and bowed: "What the General Manager said is."

Zhong Gui asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Eunuch Liu came over, definitely not for idle talk.

Eunuch Liu looked embarrassed and said, "I have something to report to the general manager. That night I left the palace to find Dr. Shen, so I took four people out."

"When I came back, there were four people, but now there is one missing."

Zhong Gui was surprised and asked, "What does one missing mean?"

Eunuch Liu replied: "It's just the little bun from Xuanruo Palace, it's been less than two days."

Zhong Gui felt strange and asked, "Will you go where you went? Or go home?"

Eunuch Liu shook his head and said, "It's impossible. His family members were starved to death when they were hit by disasters."

Zhong Gui remembered Lianxin's assassination, and there were rumors in the palace that he saw the eunuch asking for directions that night.

"Send someone to search, be sure to find it."

Zhong Gui felt something was wrong, and Eunuch Liu said in embarrassment: "I have searched for it, but I can't find it."

Eunuch Liu had already looked for him in private, but he just didn't see anyone, so he came to find Zhong Gui's.

Zhong Gui thought for a while and said, "If you go to the Escort Province, just say what I mean, and look for it in the whole palace together."

"There are so many things happening now, don't make too much noise."

Now is an extraordinary moment, Zhong Gui doesn't want to make any trouble again.

Eunuch Liu thanked Zhong Gui and immediately ignored the eunuch.

....

To the west of the palace.

A team of imperial guards were patrolling in armor and soldiers. The summer heat in the evening made them smell smelly and sweat all over.

"I'll go and release the water later."

A soldier couldn't help but pee.

"Laggy donkeys have a lot of shit and urine, hurry up."

The captain cursed.

The soldier hurriedly ran to the side, took off his pants and let the water go to the corner of the wall.

"Grass, who's fucking shit here?"

The soldiers smelled a foul smell.

After urinating, the soldier spat. When he was about to leave, he suddenly found someone in the gap in the corner of the wall.

This is not the smell of shit, but the smell of corpse.

The corner of the wall is in the middle of the two walls, and there is a very small gap in the middle that just stuffs people into it.

Moreover, looking at the boots on my feet, it seems like they are from the palace.

The soldier ran out immediately and shouted, "Boss, there is something wrong."

The captain cursed: "How can you still have any problems when you let the water go? Have you put it at the widow's house?"

Others followed suit and cheered: "I went to someone else's house to let the water go."

The soldier said anxiously: "No, there is a body there."

The captain stopped joking and asked the soldiers to lead the way. He went to the corner of the wall and saw a corpse.

"Pull it out!"

The captain ordered the soldier to secretly feel bad luck and grabbed his feet and dragged the body out.

After the body was dragged out, the captain and the soldiers covered their noses and looked at them.

"Don't you have a beard?"

"This boot...is a eunuch?"

The Imperial Guards had met eunuchs, and their clothes and boots were different.

The captain stared at the body for a while, and finally did it himself, unbuttoned his pants and looked at it...

"It turns out that he is a eunuch, hurry up and report to the commander!"

The captain realized that the problem might be big.

The eunuch is a man from the palace, so it is definitely not normal to die outside.

The most suspicious thing is that the coat was stripped.

That is to say, someone may have entered the palace as a eunuch.

Looking back on what happened two days ago, someone pretended to be an eunuch and entered the palace for assassination...

Two soldiers were left to guard the guard, and the captain immediately reported to the deputy commander Yan Xi.

When Yan Xi heard this, she felt that there was nothing to say about this matter.

It was very chaotic when fighting in the city, and it was normal for eunuchs to leave the palace and be targeted by thieves and killed.

Yan Xi said this, but the captain didn't have much to say.

When he returned to the scene, the captain said, "Forget it, let's do it, Commander Yan said he wouldn't care."

The soldier said, "If you don't let the palace deal with it."

The soldiers didn't want to collect the eunuch's body.

The captain thought about it and found a eunuch at the palace gate, saying that an eunuch died outside the palace and asked them to collect the body.

The eunuch hurried over and found that it was the missing bun.

When Eunuch Liu got the news, he went out of the palace to see it and confirmed that it was the missing little bun.

Eunuch Liu felt that this time the problem was big, so he immediately went to the Imperial Study room to find Zhong Gui.

At this time, Li Chengdao had woken up and sat in the imperial study waiting for the battle report in front of him.

Xuan Jizi was by his side.

The sound of fighting in the north of the city had already been heard, and Jiang Hui took action.

Eighty thousand elite troops attacked at the same time, and the flames soared into the sky, illuminating the night sky in the north of the city.

Eunuch Liu leaned out sneakily outside, and Zhong Gui quickly came out and asked, "What are you doing?"

Eunuch Liu said: "Mr. General Manager, Xiao Baozi was killed. The body was found when he was killed outside the palace."

Zhong Gui was slightly surprised and asked, "Killed? Who killed it?"

The eunuch is the lowest and most despicable person in the palace, but he is also a man in the palace, and no one dares to kill him.

Eunuch Liu said, "I don't know. I died outside the palace, right at the door, and my clothes were stripped."

Zhong Gui nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Zhong Gui felt that this was strange, so why did he kill someone and take off his clothes?

Most people dare not wear eunuchs' clothes.
