Chapter 186 Cloud Feather 45
The sky was high and the sun was shining brightly that day.
Inside the palace gates, everything was in perfect order, and a grand ceremony was being held to mark Gong Ziyu's succession to the throne.
Outside the palace gates, Wu Feng's leader, Dian Zhu, was leading a group of demons and monsters in disguise, preparing to sneak into the palace.
There was no other way; they knew nothing about the current sentry deployment at the palace gates. The only way to enter the palace was to disguise themselves as the bride-to-be and her family.
Yes, that's right!
They thought the palace gates must have lost their minds this time, actually allowing the bride's family to enter and witness the ceremony.
Upon hearing the news, Dianzhu almost burst into tears of joy.
As expected, hard work pays off!
It must be that God saw her sincerity and granted her this opportunity.
what?
Could this be a trap set by the palace gates?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
After fighting with Wufeng and Gongmen for so many years, doesn't she know their true strengths and weaknesses?
How could those self-important people do such a despicable thing? And to pull such a dirty trick on such an important occasion, don't they feel bad about it?
Without hesitation, Dianzhu ordered a group of demons and monsters to intercept the brides' wedding processions along the way and replace them with his own people.
This is her last chance. If she doesn't succeed this time, she'll have to wait another twenty years, and she can't wait that long.
In order to successfully obtain the Boundless Flowing Fire, all the top experts in Wufeng have come out in full force.
The banks of the river were adorned with red ribbons and colorful lanterns, turning the entire river into a sea of red.
A dozen or so wedding boats adorned with colorful ribbons slowly sailed in and finally docked at the pier.
The members of Wufeng, dressed as a wedding procession, disembarked one after another. A large group of one or two hundred people gathered in front of the palace gate, waiting for the gate to open.
……
The Hall of the Blade Master.
Gong Ziyu, dressed in an exquisite and luxurious black and gold cloak, sat regally on a high seat.
When he heard the report from the guard, he almost burst out laughing.
Wu Feng actually came!
Damn it!
They actually came!
Such an obvious trap, and they actually jumped into it!
Gong Ziyu felt that her intelligence had been insulted!
Logically, since the assassins who had previously infiltrated the palace gates had all been discovered, Wu Feng should have become more alert and acted with greater caution.
The palace's recent actions, especially the fact that it not only held another wedding ceremony but also made an exception by allowing the bride's family to enter and watch the ceremony, are almost a clear indication that this is a trap.
Even so, Wu Feng still fell for it.
Not only were they fooled, but they also boldly replaced the entire bride's wedding procession.
They're practically rushing here to their deaths!
Gong Ziyu looked at the guards waiting below and was speechless for a moment.
He used to believe that even if he wasn't a master strategist, he still had a certain ability to judge the future development of events.
But ever since he entered this world, things have always turned out in ways he didn't expect.
Are the people in this world abnormal? Or is there something wrong with him?
Did he overcomplicate things?
Gong Ziyu took a deep breath and ordered, "Since Wufeng's men are all gathered in one place, then mobilize the firearms to the second gate. Once they come in, immediately close the gate and open fire."
"Yes!"
The guard accepted the order and turned to leave.
Gong Ziyu was left alone, lost in thought, and finally ordered someone to bring a chessboard.
He is now eager to do something to prove that there is nothing wrong with his intelligence.
Playing chess can obviously test a person's logical thinking ability, calculation ability, and concentration to a certain extent.
……
The members of Wufeng outside the palace gates suppressed their anxiety. As long as they could enter the palace gates, they could quickly scatter to various parts of the palace to search for Wuliang Liuhuo, just as planned.
As for the possibility that this trip might fail?
Ha ha!
Ten years ago, they only sent sixteen experts in, and they wreaked havoc on the palace gates. Now that they have one or two hundred people going in together, won't they wipe out the entire palace?
Just as Wu Feng and his group were envisioning a bright future, a rumbling sound broke the silence, and the large door embedded in the cliff face was slowly opened.
Everyone quickly composed themselves, remained alert, and entered the gate in an orderly manner.
Dianzhu walked at the very back of the group, while the three demons—Eastern Demon Beixu, Northern Demon Hanyike, and Western Demon Wanqi'ai—walked just a little ahead of her. They cautiously observed everything around them, wary of any possible anomalies.
As the group advanced, and they were about to reach the second gate, the group couldn't help but exchange glances.
Ten years ago, they had already entered the palace through the Thunderbolt Gate and had a general understanding of the layout inside. Once they passed the second gate, they were greeted by an open area.
At that time, they can lead their troops to attack various places and begin a massacre. After eliminating everyone at the palace gates, they will naturally have ample time to search for the Boundless Flowing Fire.
Thinking of this, a ferocious smile appeared on the faces of the group. They secretly reached for the weapons hidden on their bodies and silently prepared for battle.
Just then, someone at the front of the line exclaimed in surprise:
"We're brides attending a wedding ceremony! Open the door and let us in!"
"What are these cylinders for? And why do they smell like gunpowder?"
"Is it explosives? Are they going to blow us up at the palace gate?"
A commotion arose in the group, and Dianzhu and the others at the back frowned, wondering what was so surprising.
Even if the people at the palace gates discover them now, there's no need to panic. They can just start killing them without making a fuss.
Now that we've entered the palace gates, our two hundred or so men are enough to massacre everyone inside.
Thinking of this, Dianzhu immediately pushed aside the person in front of him and led Beixu, Hanyike, and Wanqiai forward with their heads held high.
Then they saw the tightly closed second door, with round holes carved out of the middle of the door panel, from which red cast iron cylinders protruded.
Dianzhu walked forward with a puzzled look, wanting to take a closer look at the bright red thing in front of him.
As she approached, a strong smell of gunpowder hit her. She immediately realized something was wrong and, without thinking, used her lightness skill to flee towards the gate.
The others also sensed the danger and rushed toward the gate.
Just as everyone was about to reach the gate, the originally wide-open gate suddenly slammed shut with a loud 'bang'.
This sudden turn of events left everyone horrified, and they couldn't help but roar in anger:
"don't want……"
"boom!"
"what!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A series of explosions followed one after another, deafeningly loud, silencing everyone's voices in the roar until they were gone.
