"Inside the palace?"
Shen Wen's silent appearance didn't alarm anyone. He used the system to check the information and knew where he was.
"Controlling the Seventh Lord and then setting up a killing trap in the palace?"
Shen Wen checked what happened in the Heavenly Sword World in the past few days and was a little surprised.
The appearance of the Great Eagle gave Zhang Sanfeng, Huang Yaoshi, and the others an opportunity.
A Great Eagle as tall as a person was rare in the world.
In addition, there was a secret technique in the Nine Yin Manual, the Soul Transfer Technique. They planned to control a certain weak-willed official of the imperial court and invite the officials of the imperial court to attend the banquet with the excuse of tasting the Great Eagle. Then, they would kill all the officials who attended the banquet.
The Seventh Lord, who only knew how to eat, drink, and play, became the target of Zhang Sanfeng and the others. It was also easy for them to control the Seventh Lord's mind.
It was just that plans couldn't keep up with changes. When Emperor Yuan heard that his younger brother was holding a Golden-Winged Great Eagle Banquet, he immediately became interested.
Hence, this trap became even bigger.
"Although eating the meat of this Great Eagle can't make one immortal, it can strengthen one's body and allow one to live healthily to a hundred years old."
"The day before yesterday, the Seventh Lord caught this Great Eagle in the suburbs and specially presented it to His Majesty to share with the princes and nobles."
"Everyone, hurry up and enjoy it. In an hour, we will start to slaughter this Great Eagle and cook it. The Golden-Winged Great Eagle Banquet will officially begin."
… ….
Huang Yaoshi stood in front of the cage and introduced it to everyone with a humble expression.
"This eagle is very strange and rare in the world."
"Does anyone know the origin of this eagle?"
"I wonder if what the Seventh Lord said is true. Is this eagle really a Golden-Winged Great Eagle? Can eating this eagle really make one live a hundred years old? "
The officials of the imperial court looked curiously at the giant eagle and discussed it with each other.
However, such a big eagle must have its own uniqueness.
"Is everyone ready?"
In a side hall, Hong Qigong, the White-browed Eagle, Yin Tianzheng, and the others had cold expressions as they waited for the right time.
"We still need to wait a little longer."
Yin Tianzheng, the White-browed Eagle, said excitedly.
Shen Wen slept for a night in his original world, but they were busy for three to four days in Dadu.
"Wait for the signal. Once the signal is given, go to the designated location and ignite the fire immediately."
Zhang Sanfeng's eldest disciple, Song Yuanqiao, was also warning his junior brothers.
Some of the buildings in the palace had been secretly piled with wine, while others had been buried with gunpowder stolen from the imperial court's armory.
Once everything was ready, the entire palace would become a sea of flames.
"I hope everything goes well."
Hong Qigong could feel his blood boiling. A great battle was about to ensue.
"Huang Yaoshi, you don't really want to kill me, do you?"
"I'm your classmate!"
"My meat doesn't taste good. It stinks."
"I feel like there's something wrong with your plan. Let's discuss it again."
… ….
In the entire team, there was only one eagle that didn't get along. The Great Eagle regretted agreeing to Huang Yaoshi's plan. It was anxiously crying out in the iron cage.
"Don't worry, the plan is about to start. Once it starts, I will open the cage."
"Aren't you fast at running?"
"Once the plan starts, you can run first."
Huang Yaoshi's expression didn't change, and he secretly sent a message to the eagle using Secret Voice-sending.
One by one, as long as there was a slight mistake in the middle of the assassination, all the previous efforts would be wasted.
Therefore, with the addition of the Great Eagle as his classmate, Huang Yaoshi instantly changed his original plan. He intended to use the Great Eagle to set up a trap and attract all the officials of the imperial court.
It was just that he didn't expect that even the emperor would be involved in this trap.
The Great Eagle was speechless.
"The plan succeeded. You have made a great contribution."
Huang Yaoshi comforted the Great Eagle and looked at the entire banquet with a smile on his face.
Even the emperor participated in the Golden-Winged Eagle Feast. Many lords and officials of the imperial court competed to be the first to participate.
And there were only a thousand Yuan soldiers guarding outside the banquet.
"Don't worry, even if there are any accidents in the plan, with my strength, I still have some confidence in holding Emperor Yuan hostage."
"At that time, Huang Yaoshi and the others will also hold several lords with power. As long as we withdraw from the city, there won't be any danger."
Perhaps sensing Zhang Cuishan's nervousness, Zhang Sanfeng comforted him using Secret Voice-sending.
Their horses were just outside the city. As long as they got on the horses, the imperial court's army could only eat dirt behind them.
"If you are really nervous, you can leave first. Leave this place to me and Huang Yaoshi."
Zhang SanFeng said warmly.
From the beginning of the plan, they started to massacre all the nobles at this banquet, leaving only Emperor Yuan and a few lords with real power behind.
Then, under the cover of Lord Seven, they would try to safely evacuate the palace with Emperor Yuan and a few lords.
If an accident happened, they could only use Emperor Yuan and the lords in their hands as hostages and try to negotiate with the Yuan soldiers. Similar to the previous plan, they would find a way to leave the city and meet up with their horses.
"Don't worry."
Huang Yaoshi was very calm.
"My sworn brother is the backup plan I left behind."
Huang Yaoshi said and didn't say anything else.
He was also an alchemist, so he was naturally proficient in the properties of some poisons.
In the past few days, he used the power of the imperial court to collect a large number of medicinal herbs in the name of cooking the Golden-Winged Eagle. Many of them were piled up in the side hall around the banquet.
Originally, there was no problem with the placement of these medicinal herbs. But this morning, he secretly changed some of the medicinal herbs with Hong Qigong.
Once these medicinal herbs were ignited, a large amount of poisonous smoke would form. With the cover of the poisonous smoke, it wouldn't be a problem for them to escape the palace.
As long as they escaped the palace, there would be many places to hide. Even if the Yuan soldiers searched the city with 100,000 troops, it would be difficult to find them.
But in the case of Emperor Yuan, the officials of the imperial court, and many lords all dead, who in the entire capital could take charge of the overall situation and search for them?
"It seems that I can only wait."
Zhang Sanfeng and the others' plan had reached a critical moment. Shen Wen didn't want to appear and disturb them, so he left silently.
"Let's just treat it as adding some books to the library of All Heavens College in advance."
Shen Wen easily evaded the patrolling Imperial Guards. Similarly, he used the Soul Transfer Technique to interrogate a few eunuchs. Then, he found the Kuizhang Pavilion, the Inner Palace's library.
"Collect all of them. Otherwise, it might be destroyed today."
Today was destined to be a violent day in the palace. There were explosives, alcohol, and poisonous smoke. More than half of the entire palace might be destroyed.
Moreover, as long as Zhang Sanfeng and the others' plan was carried out, almost all the officials of the imperial court would be caught in one fell swoop. No one could predict what would happen next.
"Let's go to the emperor's private library to take a look. Back then, the Mongols swept through Europe and Asia. There might be some treasures."
In a moment, Shen Wen collected all the books in the Kuizhang Pavilion. After pondering for a while, Shen Wen thought of another place to go.
The location of the emperor's private library wasn't a secret. Shen Wen easily learned the specific location from a eunuch. After entering, Shen Wen also stored all the treasures in the system.
"Ding! All Heavens College's assets exceed one million taels of gold. "
"Ding! All Heavens College's collection of martial arts manuals exceeds one hundred. "
"Ding! All Heavens College has an affiliated force. "
"Ding! All Heavens College has a student who has cultivated his major teaching materials to the realm of Dacheng. "
… ….
Almost at the same time, a series of system prompts sounded.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully passing the probationary dean period and being promoted to a junior dean. "
