Looking up at the gate of Sanssouci Palace, it was pitch black and seemed unattended.
Moreover, it was quiet inside, with no sound at all.
Dong Cheng listened for a while, his heart gradually beat faster, and a very bad premonition arose in his heart.
"Your Majesty, I'm here."
Dong Cheng called out, but there was no response for a long time.
Just when Dong Cheng was getting more confused, something was thrown down from the top of the city.
It rolled around a few times and happened to stop at Dong Cheng's feet. side.
The bad premonition in Dong Cheng's heart became even stronger.
He held a lantern and leaned over to see it, and found that it was a human head.
The face on the head is very familiar, it is the person who should come to greet him at this time.
"Zhongji" Dong Chengchao took a step back, his expression changed drastically.
The lantern in his hand was shaking violently, and the candle inside could hardly stand.
The lights suddenly lit up at the top of the city, armor clanged, and hundreds of figures suddenly poured out.
By the light of the city's fire, Dong Cheng could clearly see the face of one of them that had not changed for thousands of years.
And behind this person, there is a face that confuses all living beings, and it is almost impossible to distinguish between male and female.
"Xi Zhicai, Cao Tai is indeed you" The entourage behind him raised his saber vigilantly, but Dong Cheng regained his composure in an instant.
Xi Zhicai was a man of profound talent, and Cao Tai was the leader of the next generation of the Cao family.
Since they appeared in the palace at this time, it meant that they were aware of Dong Cheng's plan.
What Dong Cheng needs to know at this time is how much Xi Zhicai and Cao Tai knew and how much they stopped.
"General Dong did not return home to rest late at night and went to the palace late at night.
I don't know what happened."
Xi Zhicai asked condescendingly.
Dong Cheng flicked the sleeves of his robe, and he looked like an important minister.
He raised his head and shouted: "Why show off your talents, why do you need to show off?
Today I am wearing my clothes and taking the edict to punish the thieves and eliminate the traitors.
You are the helpers of the tiger, and you have not surrendered yet."
"What a coincidence.
I also have an edict here, saying that General Dong gathered a crowd to rebel and ordered Xu Duwei to kill him."
Xi Zhicai calmly took out a dark yellow-edged edict.
"I don't know which edict should be followed by the troops in the capital."
Dong Cheng sneered and said: "Please come to your majesty to judge in court, won't you know?"
Dong Cheng is indeed confident.
Even if Suwei is controlled by the Cao family, Dong Cheng still has the greatest military power in Xudu.
As long as Wangfu captures the Cao family members and comes here, Xi Zhicai can only bow to His Majesty, even if he has all kinds of means.
However, at this time, Cao Tai was standing at the top of the city enjoying himself.
He didn't seem to be in any hurry.
He asked Xi Zhicai intentionally or unintentionally: "Xi Gong Cao, you said 500 tigers and leopards can fight against 1,500 miscellaneous animals."
Bing, how long will it take?”
"Xi is not a member of the military, but if I ask you to speculate, the time of two sticks of incense is enough."
Xi Zhicai said seriously, and his expression made people think that he was just telling a fact.
"The minister also thinks so, and the journey of the cavalry general to the palace is about two sticks of incense.
Now it seems that the battle on Zhuque Street should be over."
Cao Tai said this softly, and looked at the city with a smile Dong Cheng glanced under his head.
Dong Cheng suddenly understood what these two people were talking about.
However, he remained calm, waiting for the situation to develop.

Unfortunately, he was unable to stop it, but his heart was beating more and more weakly due to the conversation between the two.
At this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from the distance, and Dong Cheng quickly turned his head to look.
Each person came and rode, with blood stains all over their bodies.
"General Dong," Wang Fu shouted from his horse, "there are still five hundred tigers and leopards riding in Xudu City."
Dong Cheng's heartstrings suddenly collapsed, and he seemed to hear the sound of jade breaking: the strategy that he had worked so hard to evacuate Xu Du's troops was resolved by the trick of Cao's treacherous ministers.
All the hope of the Han Dynasty was completely shattered Dong Cheng raised his head again and his expression became distorted: "Xi Zhicai, Cao Tai, you traitors will not die well."
The torch at the top of the city was swaying, and Xi Zhicai's expression looked uncertain.
Faced with Dong Cheng's curse, he did not answer.
Instead, he stretched out his hand, threw the edict in his hand down into the city, and said loudly: "Dong Cheng accepts the edict."
Dong Cheng's shoulders trembled slightly.
From the moment he learned about the tiger and leopard knights, he knew that his plan had collapsed.
However, his dignity as a powerful chariot and cavalry general did not allow him to lose his dignity in front of the enemy.
He leaned over and picked up the edict from the ground, unfolded it and read it.
It contained nothing but clichés, but what shocked him was that the seal with a radius of four inches contained His Majesty's personal seal.
It is exactly the same as the seal in the belt edict, no difference at all Could it be said that the emperor has also been controlled by them?
No, it is not that the emperor is controlled, but that the emperor is already under their control.
Dong Cheng's mind is spinning rapidly.
Then, a sharp whistling sound passed through his ears.
Dong Cheng looked back in shock and saw that the expressions of all the followers behind him suddenly froze.
They were all shot to death by at least several crossbow arrows, especially the king's uniform who had received the most care.
Thousands of arrows pierced his heart.
Before he died, Dong Cheng saw the unwillingness and anger in his eyes that he was determined to kill the enemy but was unable to save the day.
"Cao Tai" Dong Cheng was suddenly furious.
He felt the blood under his feet being drunk by the dried stone bricks.
He couldn't help shouting hoarsely: "Who told me, who is it?"
Xi Zhicai and Cao Tai naturally knew what Dong Cheng was asking.
From this, Cao Tai took a step closer and said: "It's really sad.
Until now, you don't know who died."
As soon as he said this, Xi Zhi turned around and glared at Cao Tai, and the amusement on Cao Tai's face immediately disappeared.
He looked at Dong Cheng with pity and said nothing.
"Cao Tai, tell me, who betrayed us?"
Dong Cheng stood under the city, almost wanting to jump up to the city to question Cao Tai: "Even if you know our plan, you can't know it in such detail.
This Among them, there must be a traitor who told you all the plans."
Faced with such a shocking change, the faces of countless people flashed before Dong Cheng's eyes: Wu Shuo, Wu Zilan, Ji Ping, Yang Biao.
No, none of this is possible.
They have no reason to betray the Han Dynasty.
However, just when Dong Cheng was about to go crazy, an old man slowly appeared at the top of the city and said, "General Dong, I am sorry for you."
"Yang Biao" Dong Cheng looked at the city in disbelief.
He could hardly believe his eyes: Yang Biao had been the most behind-the-scenes planner in this plan.
All the details that Dong Cheng couldn't care about were handled by Yang Biao.
It can be said that Yang Biao was the mastermind of this mutiny, and his role was far greater than that of Dong Cheng.
But it was this mastermind who actually gave up his body and torso and sold it to the Cao family.
"Why?"
Dong Cheng yelled.
At this time, he no longer had the demeanor of an important minister of the Han Dynasty.

He was more like a beast whose mind was broken by anger.
"For no reason, just think that I am greedy for power."
Yang Biao slowly spoke again, and then walked back behind the shadows.
Dong Cheng, who was filled with jealousy, suddenly froze after saying this.
He looked at Yang Biao's back blankly and couldn't say a word.
It was a big joke that Yang Biao would be greedy for power.
"Yang Biao, don't you even have the courage to answer me?"
Dong Cheng finally used all his strength to shout these words.
However, what he got in exchange was Cao Tai's extremely cold reply: "Come here, capture the traitor and put him in jail."
The city gate finally opened, but Dong Cheng could not take a step forward.
He was captured by Xu Duwei, who looked like a wolf and a tiger.
He was like a walking corpse, with only his mouth muttering.
At this time, Xu Duwei beside him, if he listened carefully, he could hear Dong Cheng saying: "Your Majesty, my incompetence makes me sorry for the Han Dynasty."
"Mr.
Yang, thank you for your hard work.
I asked you to take the blame for me."
At this time, the emperor of Han Dynasty said to Yang Biao in the palace.
"As a Han minister, I should be loyal to the Han Dynasty."
For some reason, Yang Biao said these words leisurely.
In Liu Xie's ears, he couldn't tell whether it was sincere or sarcastic
