East Factory Governor

Chapter 662 There are Assassins!
At midnight, the people in Chengdu had already fallen asleep.

The soldiers in the city were also drowsy one by one.Although the current situation is a bit tense recently, the imperial army has not attacked Sichuan so far, so these Qiu Ba's life is still the same.

Soldiers, keep your head on your trouser waist, and just muddle along!When it comes to war, the goddamn ghost is willing to fight.The frontier soldiers, the Demon Sect, and the Tartars can't do anything about it, but Lao Shizi's Donglin Party, Guizi's Zhou Yanru, and Cao Guozhang, just let it go, but they have to fight the imperial court, what the hell!

There were no people on the street, but there were still quite a few soldiers patrolling listlessly, one crop after another.

The defense of the inner city of Chengdu can be described as impenetrable.

First of all, there are two patrol battalions in the inner city, with a total of 600 people.And there are nearly [-] soldiers and horses of Cao Guoqing near the walls of the inner city, which guard the entire inner city tightly without leaking water.

At the same time, Cao Guozhang also arranged two to three or four hundred men and horses to closely monitor the mansions of the generals who were leading the army, as well as the mansions of important figures such as the Prince of Shu.

No way, these people are too important.

To put it bluntly, Cao Guozhang still had no idea. After all, he was fighting against the court and did not have a good mass base.So for the generals under his command, he could only lure them with lures and threaten them with their families.

Cao Guozhang believes that under such tight defenses, people in the inner city want to go out unless they have wings.

The Palace of the King of Shu.

Zhao Keqing, the commander of the palace, rushed to the door with 20 people, and said to the guard at the door, "Open the door quickly, I have urgent business."

The person in charge of guarding the gate and surrounding areas of the Shu Palace is Zhou Chong, the deputy commander of the Chengdu Wei Zuo Association.He was temporarily transferred to the Shu Palace by Cao Guozhang. Naturally, the purpose was to closely monitor the Shu King in the name of protecting the Shu King.

Zhou Chong brought 350 people this time, in addition to the 50 people guarding the gate and the front yard, there were 300 people distributed around the Shu Palace.

Zhou Chong glanced at Zhao Keqing, and said with a nonchalant smile, "Commander Zhao, you have to go out at such a late hour, why is it so urgent?"

Zhao Keqing said angrily, "Zhou Chong, don't you care too much? Can you inquire about the prince's affairs?"

"Hehe, under the order of the governor, I am responsible for guarding the safety of the palace. Can you ask?"

Zhao Keqing sneered and said, "I am the commander of the palace guards, but now I can't even leave the palace. So Cao Futai wants to put the prince under house arrest? Well, Cao Guozhang bullies me, this is going to be reversed!"

Seeing Zhao Keqing's aggressiveness, Zhou Chong changed his face and said with a chuckle, "Commander Zhao, don't talk nonsense. The governor is loyal to the emperor. How can you slander him for rebellion? Brother is also responsible. I asked a few more questions. Don't be offended."

Speaking of it, Zhou Chong's job is very difficult.

On the one hand, Cao Guozhang asked him to closely monitor the King of Shu.

On the other hand, he was told to do things in a moderate manner, as long as the King of Shu didn't run away, try not to offend the King of Shu.

why?Because Cao Guozhang's current name is that the emperor was held hostage by Qin Shuhuai, so he refused to obey the edict. He wanted to use this name to win more support and sympathy, so that Donglin could stand on the moral high ground.And once they make a tough move against the King of Shu, they will commit the following crimes, which means that they have rebelled.

Refusal to follow orders and rebellion are two completely different concepts.

Originally, there were not many people in Sichuan who supported their Dong Lin's independence. Fortunately, after their vigorous publicity these days, many people began to doubt whether Qin Shuhuai had really hijacked the emperor.At this juncture, if they moved the King of Shu, wouldn't that tell the world that they rebelled?
So unless they had to, they would never touch the king of Shu, and they would make concessions or make concessions.

Zhou Chong looked at the guards carefully, and after confirming that there were no King Shu or his family members among them, he let them go.Anyway, as long as the king of Shu doesn't run away, it's fine!

Otherwise, if there is a real fight, there will be news that Governor Cao has entered the palace of Shu Palace immediately, and the whole world will think that Governor Cao is going to rebel, and Zhou Chong can't bear the consequences.

"Open the door, don't delay Commander Zhao going out to do business." Zhou Chong said.

The thick gate of the palace opened.

Zhao Keqing cupped his hands at Zhou Chong, and said, "Commander Zhou, just now I was offended by being in a hurry and offended."

Zhou Chong said politely, "Hi, it's easy to say! What is everyone's responsibility!"

At this moment, in the darkness, a group of people suddenly appeared from nowhere.

These people patted the team and ran towards the gate of the palace without making a sound.

Zhou Chong looked at the people who were running, with a puzzled look on his face.

I wonder whose subordinate this is?Patrol battalion?It doesn't look like this dress.

Although it's dark and it's hard to see clearly, the clothes of the patrol battalion are yellow and black, and the uniform of the commander has copper chest and shoulder pads, which is definitely not this dress.

Zhao Keqing and his soldiers are now standing in the middle of the door.

It was right in the middle of the door, so that it was difficult for Zhou Chong's men to close the door.

Zhao Keqing also pretended to be curious and asked, "Hey, Commander Zhou, Governor Cao has sent more troops to the palace?"

Zhou Chong shook his head in bewilderment, "I never heard of it!"

With just a few words from them, the team was only three to forty meters away from the gate.

Then, they suddenly accelerated and rushed over like a gust of wind.

Zhou Chong's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "No! There are assassins! Quick, close the door!"

But Zhao Keqing was still "foolishly" standing where he was, which was in the middle of the gate.

He drew his waist knife and shouted to his subordinates, "Brothers, there are assassins, protect the prince!"

His soldiers also drew their swords and shouted, "Protect the prince!"

But they are still standing in the middle of the door.

Zhou Chong saw that his eyes were about to bleed, and hurriedly shouted, "Commander Zhao, get out of the way, close the door!"

When Zhao Keqing heard this, he lowered his head and looked at his position, "hastily" said, "Oh, yes! Hurry up, brothers, step back and let Commander Zhou close the door!"

When they retreated to the door in a hurry, those people had already killed them!

The distance is only 40 meters, how many words can they say?

The person who rushed in was naturally from the White Lotus Sect!
There are a total of 200 people, led by Qi Sheng, the leader of the Chengdu sub-rudder, who is the ninth-rank Xiaochengjing!
They had quietly gathered in the home of a White Lotus Sect near the palace in the afternoon.

After rushing in, Qi Cheng and the other three experts in the Xuantong Realm immediately rushed towards Zhou Chong.Zhou Chong was no more than a deputy coordinator of the guards, and he still relied on his connections. His skill was only at the fifth level of Xuantong Realm, and he was quickly killed.

There were only 50 people guarding the door, and there were 200 people from the White Lotus Sect, so they rushed in quickly.

On the other hand, Zhao Keqing and others were "collapsed at the first touch", and ran back to the back hall without even fighting the White Lotus Sect, shouting, "There are assassins! Someone wants to assassinate the prince!"

Their "cowardice" also affected Zhou Chong's men.

Zhou Chong died as soon as he came up. His subordinates saw that the guard leader of the palace, Du Nima, had run away. Why don't we run away?

So many people followed them without saying a word.

It is reasonable to say that among Zhou Chong's fifty subordinates, there are always a few brave ones, but seeing that there are as many as two or three hundred people on the other side, and more than half of the people on his side have run away, wouldn't it be death if they fight again?So I can only run along.

So the two sides basically didn't fight much, at most only seven or eight people died, and all the guards at the door ran away.

It only took Qi Sheng and the others three to five minutes from charging to controlling the gate.
