C23 The Swallow King uses the Phantom Sword to determine the Three Guards
In September, after the Swallow King had defeated the imperial army, he consulted with the generals and said: "In the past, when I was on patrol, I saw that the Da Ning Army was extremely fierce, and the Ning Wang had 80,000 armored soldiers, 6000 chariots, and all of the Beautiful Three Guards were brave and battle-loving, and the Ning Wang was a good strategist, so forcing Da Ning would not be possible, but if I could obtain Da Ning, cut off Da Ning, and ride on the east side to assist in the battle, then it would be a big deal!"
Swallow King then led the troops to take a path from the Liu family's entrance, pretending to be poor and came to ask for help. At the same time, Emperor Hui was afraid that the Ning Wang would throw himself onto the Swallow King, so he sent people to summon the Ning Wang back to the capital.
After entering the city, the Swallow King held onto the Ning Wang's hand and said with a wail: "It is not that Brother Wang wants to rebel against Your Majesty, it is just that His Majesty listened to my slander and pressed on him step by step. This king had no choice but to raise the army in order to protect my life, but now that His Majesty's army is pressing down on us and there is nowhere for Brother to go, I have come to Brother's place, begging Brother to draft a memorial on behalf of Brother to stop the troops, in order to apologize to Your Majesty."
When the Ning Wang heard this, he was pleasantly surprised, and invited the Swallow King to rest in his residence. At the same time, he sent a report to his majesty to await news. After a few days of Swallow King staying in the Ning Wang Palace, the Ning Wang were all honest and unsuspecting. The elites of the Swallow King were lying in ambush outside the city while the soldiers slowly entered the city. At the same time, the Monk of the Daoyin and the black-clothed youth secretly went to bribe the Three Guards and the city guards' generals.
Two days later, Tanin, Fuyu and the other city guards were all bribed. Only the Yan Wei and Azzali remained unmoved and remained loyal.
On the second night, a black-clothed man stood alone outside the gates of Duo Yan Wei's Prefect. He wore a black nightgown, a black turban over his head, and a demonic mask that covered his face. He stood there for a while and looked at his surroundings. Then, he jumped into the courtyard wall. He lowered his body and walked toward the deeper parts of the courtyard without making a sound. The Residence of Prefect was naturally heavily guarded. The patrolling soldiers frequently travelled back and forth, and the black-clothed men frequently dodged as well. After being careful, they still came to the Inner Palace.
He saw that although it was late at night, one of the rooms was still brightly lit. He thought that it must be the house that Azzali lived in. He went around the guard at the door and jumped onto the roof. Only the sounds of men and women playing could be heard. Only then did they carefully lift up a tile and look into the house. At this moment, he had a black ribbon over his head, covering his eyes, and his upper body was naked. There was only a pair of shorts on his lower body, and he was feeling around with both hands, while there were two maids in the room, giggling. Their clothes and hair were all messed up, and while they were hiding, playing with each other, the delicacies on the table would occasionally fall to the ground. The man in black snorted coldly and covered the roof tiles.
The noise inside the house gradually stopped. Not long after, the sound of men and women panting came from inside the house. It wasn't long before it gradually stopped. The black clothed person lifted the roof tiles again and saw that the lights inside the house had stopped burning. He took out a wooden pipe from his bosom. With just a blow of his pipe, a gust of smoke rushed into the room. The black clothed man hastily covered the tile. After a while, there was no longer any sound in the room.
That black-clad figure climbed up the roof, only to see that the two guards at the entrance were still standing upright, not knowing what to do. When the two guards heard the noise, they looked at each other, then quickly looked behind the house. The black clothed person, on the other hand, landed gently on the roof, squatted down, took out a dagger from his bosom, grabbed it with his mouth, pulled it out with his hand, and lightly pushed the door open. After entering the house, he hurriedly closed the door, held his breath, and did not dare to move.
In the blink of an eye, the two guards returned. They looked around and found nothing out of the ordinary. Only then did the two of them relax.
The black clothed man waited for a while before bending his body and groping his way to the edge of the bed. He held a dagger in one hand, like a demon who was about to take his life. Only then did he open the back window and jump out, disappearing into the night like a ghost.
On the second day, as soon as the sun rose, the news of Duo Yan Wei knowing that he had died spread throughout the entire palace, while at the same time, Madam Yan Wei had sent her subordinates to the Ning Wang Palace to inform Ning Wang Palace of the matter, and at the same time, the Ning Wang was playing chess with the Swallow King, kneeling down to the side, afraid that it would be inconvenient for her subordinates to speak, but without even looking at the Ning Wang, she immediately told him about it. The Ning Wang frowned, feeling that the matter was fishy, but after thinking about it, the Yan Wei knew that Ah Zali was a good person, and normally, he had already offended many people, and had abandoned them. At the same time, was secretly happy that her life's Doyen had been taken over by Daoyin, because her life's Doyen had long since been bribed by Daoyin.
On the second day, Swallow King secretly met with the monk Daoyin. When Daoyin informed him that the time was right, he said his goodbyes to Ning Wang, but Ning Wang knew that he could not force him to stay, so he led a group of people to the outskirts of the city to escort the king.
The elites of the Yan Army and the three Doyen Guards rode together with the rebel army generals, gathering together in one breath. Stealing through the gate, how could the city guard general Zhu Lin defend against it? He died in battle. After capturing the city, the Swallow King ordered his generals, along with the prince and the prince's concubine and concubine concubine, to follow the army to Peiping and select the Three Mystics, the Three Mystics. In such a way, the city became an empty city. After Ning Wang was forced to join the Yan Army, he was ordered to draw up a report. At the same time, he promised that after everything was done, the two would split the world equally.
