Lu Yi: "My Lord, uh, Brother Fuzhi, there is news from Lord Wang Zhifei that the troops from Xinliang have all arrived and have been incorporated into the Restoration Army. They promised to deliberately offend the border before the general attack to help us distract the court's attention. Most of the brothers from the Hinterland Camp have already sneaked into Lin'an Prefecture. The secret agents in the palace have obtained all the maps of the Mo Chi Yu Talismans used to open the palace gates, and are speeding up to send them out in batches. The replicas should be ready soon. The maps of the palace, the patrol routes and time points have also been made and the news is being sent out in batches. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner."

Ji Wei nodded slightly at Lu Yi, his eyes flashing with a fierce light without any affectation. When he spoke, one corner of his mouth slightly raised, like a confident smile: "The day of the general attack is approaching, and there is a rebellion in Wangyang. The court has been busy mobilizing troops to suppress it, and people from all over the country have risen up one after another. This is the right time for us to bet on. It can be said that it is a divine help."

Lu Yi: "Queen Xiao's cruel policies are unpopular, so it is inevitable that the lord will receive divine help.

Ji Wei: "But there are always pros and cons. After the rebellion of Wang Yang, the guards of Longchang Palace have increased their strength. The Yulin Army will definitely be suspicious. Recently, there has been a lot of news coming in and out, so the secret agents must be careful."

"Understood, my lord, I think you should not personally take charge of the matter of delivering the message, in case..."

"As the day of the final attack approaches, more and more news will come. I am already short of manpower, so I can't just sit there every day. I have to do my part. And now that I have gone to Xunfang Palace, not only will I live in a single room, but that silly princess is easy to fool and has complete faith in me, so it will be easier for me to act."

"But, my lord..."

"There's no need to say more about this matter. By the way, have you found out about the eunuch named Wang Bingyu?"

"I have checked it out. He is a lowly errand boy in Shang Pharmacy. He has no complicated connections. He is an honest man who is always bullied. There doesn't seem to be anything suspicious about him."

"Then why does he always follow me secretly? I have discovered him several times."

"I guess it might be..." Lu Yi hesitated to speak.

"What could it be? Tell me quickly, don't waste time." Ji Ying urged.

"This person is a bit effeminate, and was even found to have secretly taken out a rouge and powder box to apply powder on his face, so people say he is a fake woman."

"What?" Ji Ying was surprised when he heard that.

"So, could it be that the lord is attracted by your good looks and that's why he always follows you?" Lu Yi couldn't help laughing.

Ji Yin didn't think Lu Yi was praising him, so he responded with a disdainful look.

*
In a secluded corner of Longchang Palace, three eunuchs surrounded a thin little eunuch in a corner.

"Pa", one of the three men raised his hand and slapped the young eunuch hard on the side of his face. The young eunuch groaned in pain.

"Wang Bingyu, you sissy, last time I asked you to pay me some silver, but you treated me as if I were talking nonsense and even avoided me when you saw me. Don't think I can't punish you." The eunuch who beat the man said this and raised his hand to slap him again.

Blood immediately flowed from the nostrils of the man who was beaten: "I... I really don't have any money."

"Where did you get that rouge box if you have no money? It's shameless for a grown man to put on rouge!"

"Second brother, search him quickly to see if he has any money on him." The man who beat the man said to someone next to him.

After receiving the order, the one called the Second placed his hands on Wang Bingyu's shoulders, forcing him to kneel on the ground. Then he searched his body from head to toe, but found nothing.

So he raised his foot in rage and kicked the young eunuch hard on the back: "You are such a stingy boy, you don't even have a thread on you!" "Beat him up and teach him a lesson. See if he dares to ignore the boss's request again next time!" The third eunuch took over.

Afterwards, the three men began to punch and kick the young eunuch who was kneeling on the ground, hitting him in the face and kicking him on the buttocks, cursing at him as they beat him.

The young eunuch was beaten so hard that he finally curled up on the ground with his hands on his head. He was like a puppy being abused by a wicked person, and his only resistance was his screams.

"Hey, what are you doing here in broad daylight? If you have something to say, just talk it out. Why are you fighting and swearing?" A person's voice was heard, breaking the rhythmic sounds of fighting and scolding.

When the three perpetrators heard the voices, they immediately stopped kicking and looked in the direction of the voice. They saw a man standing not far behind them.

He was a tall, handsome young eunuch. His attire did not show any sign of his social status. He was obviously a low-ranking eunuch.

After the three people who beat the man recognized his low-level identity, they all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"We are here teaching our little brother a lesson! If this brother passes by, just pretend you didn't see him and go on your way!" The eldest of the three spoke with a tone that seemed like he didn't want to get involved.

"My own brother? My own brother attacked me so cruelly. If you don't know, you would think there is some irreconcilable hatred between us!" The young eunuch seemed to have no intention of leaving.

"Hey, kid, don't take advantage of me! I'm going to give you one more chance. If you admit that you are blind, just walk away and we will pretend we didn't see you and let you go. Otherwise, don't blame me for not having eyes for my fists."

"Hey, sir, look at what you are saying. I have a pair of eyes on my face, why should I admit that I am blind?" The young eunuch walked closer as he spoke.

The three men clearly felt that this person had some ill intentions. They had been doing this kind of thing for a long time, but this was the first time they had encountered someone who dared to stand up and fight for justice.

"Boss, what should we do when we meet someone who doesn't know how to appreciate courtesy?" the eunuch called the second one spoke.

"Of course we have to pin him to the ground and beat him up." The eldest brother rolled up his sleeves and pointed at the young eunuch, saying to his two younger brothers, "Second brother, third brother, go up and beat the shit out of this guy! Beat him up hard!"

After receiving the order, the second and third brothers immediately ran towards the young eunuch in a menacing manner.

"Hey, you can't bully me just by relying on your numbers. If you want to fight, you have to fight one-on-one, right?" The young eunuch seemed to be frightened by the opponent's momentum. He retreated several steps, as if to show that he didn't want to fight anymore and wanted to run away.

The two people who rushed forward were used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong. When they saw the other party showing weakness, they wanted to crush the weak persimmon even more.

And when they heard the young eunuch say that he wanted to duel, one of them was considerate and deliberately slowed down his pace. They went forward one after the other, giving the other party a chance to duel.

The third one, who was rushing in the front, was big and strong. Judging from the figures of the two people who were about to fight, they should be able to end the battle quickly.

"Don't come over here, all of you, don't come over here!" The young eunuch looked terrified and took two steps back, as if he was about to cry when he saw the coffin.
