Zhen Youdao's words were like a flash of lightning, shocking everyone.
"What... the inner city gate guard has been replaced, then... how are we going to enter the palace!?"
Everyone was already discussing the details of their plan after entering the palace, but now they suddenly found that it was difficult for them to even enter the inner city, so how could they complete the subsequent plan
If they want to attack the inner city by force, it would be difficult given the number of people they have.
It’s not that they definitely can’t get in, but by the time they get in, Li Ruhai might have already escaped. A head-on confrontation is the method they are least willing to choose.
"Teacher, what should we do? Why is the guard at the inner city gate suddenly replaced? Did Li Ruhai notice something?"
Li Rushan said.
Zhen Youdao shook his head and said, "That's not the case. It's just that two days ago, Bian Yingxiong led the third and fourth divisions of the Zhenzhong Army to rebel at the same time. They hid in a hilly area nearby that was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and kept spreading the news that Li Ruhai had killed his father and the emperor.
Li Ruhai was almost driven crazy by various situations at this moment. In his hysteria, he only thought about killing Bian Yingxiong, so he sent one or two divisions of the Zhenzhong Army and the Imperial Guard to attack Bian Yingxiong and his men.
As a result, the city's defense force was relatively weak.
Li Ruhai's men knew that the guard at the inner city gate was not Li Ruhai's confidant. In order to strengthen the security, they simply replaced him with one of Li Ruhai's confidants.
The current situation is that with this confidant here, we can't persuade him to rebel. If we want to enter the city, we have to find another way!"
Zhen Youdao's words made everyone silent.
Ye Li thought about it and said, "Can we get rid of the city gate guards ourselves without the help of the inner city guards?"
Hearing Ye Li's words, Zhen Youdao glanced at him and said, "Young man, this is the difficulty. It is really difficult for us to attack the guards at the inner city gate head-on. Although it can be accomplished, it will definitely alert the other guards in the city, and then it will become a siege, which will be of almost no benefit to us."
Ye Li shook his head and said, "I think you misunderstood me. What I wanted to say is, can we destroy the other party from within?"
Zhen Youdao and Li Rushan looked at each other and said, "What do you mean?"
Ye Li took out his bronze national warrior token from his pocket and said, "I have this token, which allows me to enter and leave the palace freely. I believe Senior Zhen can also enter and leave the palace freely.
If we sneak into the inner city ahead of time, and then eliminate the guards at the inner city gate from the inside at night, is that possible?"
Hearing Ye Li's words, everyone's eyes suddenly flashed with a light. Li Rushan and Zhen Youdao looked at each other. Li Rushan said: "Teacher, do you think this will work? The inner city guards should check the name on the token. If they check the name, you will have no problem, but Ye Li's identity will be exposed."
Zhen Youdao pondered for a moment and said, "Generally, guards will not ask to see the token of a familiar state scholar. They will only ask to see the token of a state scholar whose face looks unfamiliar.
I was able to find one or two national heroes who were willing to serve the Second Prince, but after all, not every national hero is good at fighting. The national heroes I found may not be good at fighting, and they will not be able to attack the guards at the inner city gate after entering.
I can fight personally, but the guards at the city gates usually have points where they can see each other, so even if one person is very strong, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be noticed."
Hearing his words, Ye Li smiled softly and said, "That's easy. Sister Xue's disguise skills are unparalleled in the world. Let her help me disguise myself. Maybe I can get in."
As the saying goes, a word can awaken a person from a dream. Ye Li's words immediately cheered up everyone.
"That's right. We don't need to look for a national warrior who can be trusted and can fight. We don't even need to look for any national warrior. We just need Qing'er to disguise Ye Li and pretend to be another national warrior."
Li Rushan spoke up.
Xue Qing said: "I haven't seen many national masters, so it's definitely not possible to just disguise myself, so you must find a national master so that I can see him with my own eyes!"
Zhen Youdao glanced at Xue Qing and said, "This is easy. There is a Bronze Scholar named Chen Shicheng near where I live. He can barely be considered half of Li Ruhai's man.
But it doesn't matter, we don't need him to pledge allegiance, we just need to capture him and let this girl disguise him."
After some discussion, everyone immediately made a plan.
It was already late and the sun was beginning to set. Zhen Youdao did not dare to delay and immediately left the warehouse to look for Chen Shicheng.
The others were still repairing in the warehouse and considering their future plans. Not long after, Zhen Youdao returned to the warehouse carrying a large bag. When he opened the bag, a gray-haired old man appeared in front of everyone.
"Second... Second Prince, why... why are you here
I understand. You are the one who caused all the anomalies in the court recently, right?"
As Chen Shicheng spoke, there was no respect in his tone for Li Rushan. It seemed that he had completely surrendered to Li Ruhai.
Li Rushan glanced at him and said, "Humph, what does my presence have to do with you? As for the abnormality in the court, the instigator could only be Li Ruhai himself.
If he hadn't poisoned his father, how could the current situation have turned out like this! ! !
You people, called patriots, do not consider the rise and fall of the country at all, but only consider your own gains and losses.
Since you have chosen to help Li Rushan, you must bear the consequences of this decision."
As he spoke, Ye Li had already slapped the other person unconscious and then tied him to a chair.
Xue Qing hurried over with the disguise tools, asked Ye Li to sit down, and then began to disguise Ye Li based on Chen Shicheng's face.
She moved quickly and carefully, drawing almost every place she looked at. It took her half an hour to completely disguise Ye Li as Chen Shicheng.
When Ye Li took the mirror and checked his face in comparison with Chen Shicheng in front of him, he was once again amazed at Xue Qing's skills.
After putting on makeup, the sun began to set towards the horizon. After taking the national hero token from Chen Shicheng, Ye Li began to pretend to be Chen Shicheng.
Under Zhen Youdao's guidance, Ye Li quickly imitated some of Chen Shicheng's habitual movements.
"Alright, time waits for no one. Now that everything is ready, let's go. We must ambush in the inner city before dark!"
Zhen Youdao greeted Ye Li.
