Chapter 838
"Quick, quick, quick! The leader has already left the assembly!"
Just as Li Ang pulled Joshua and left the assembly hall, forcing him into the carriage, in the clock tower seven or eight streets away, a middle-aged man with a somewhat plump figure put down the telescope in his hand, turned his head, and asked anxiously:
"Is everything ready? How is the situation at the Wang Gong?"
"Still a little bit off."
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's inquiry, a woman with a bald head beside her answered:
"Although the director of the Chuchu branch went to the Dream World, she left two anomalous objects in the Wang Gong. Lu Ke can't get past the threshold she set, so he still has to wait for the leader to come over and find a way to bring him into the Wang Gong."
"What about the others? How are the others prepared?"
"Feibi and I are ready."
A woman with an old appearance but young eyes answered:
"We mixed into the military academy last night and cleaned up part of the messenger's memory, implanting a set of fake command flag numbers for him.
Now, no matter how the Wang Gong asks for help and transfers troops, the messenger at the military camp will treat the distress signal as a signal of reporting safety. Before the movement is completely spread, no one from the military camp should come to support."
"Taige is also ready."
At this time, the man who was also setting up a telescope not far away reported with some excitement:
"The Laose Arcade is already on fire, and the Police Department and other patrols have been attracted by the fire set by Taige. Even if they find that something happened to the Wang Gong, they won't be able to come over in a short time."
"This side is also ready. Old Owen took people to hire a few carriages and is already waiting by the main road. As soon as we start here, they will directly crash the cars."
"There is no problem here either! Several climate towers have been occupied, and there are no other observation points nearby. The people stationed outside the Royal Capital definitely won't find any movement!"
"Me too! An ambush has been set up on Hongshan Street. If there are noble private soldiers dispatched, we can..."
"I am also ready! If anyone evacuates from the Wang Gong, we can immediately..."
Is it almost all done?
After taking the telescope and looking at the situation near the Wang Gong, and confirming that there were no obvious omissions, the middle-aged man who spoke first could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Since everything is ready, then send the signal and let everyone get ready!
The leader has already gone toward the Wang Gong. It is estimated that he will arrive in a few minutes. After he brings Lu Ke into the Wang Gong and ensures the Princess's safety, immediately start attacking the Wang Gong!"
"Also, keep an eye on what you are responsible for. It's the last step, don't make any mistakes at this time!"
Re-setting up the telescope and looking at the carriage that was driving toward the Wang Gong a few streets away, the plump middle-aged man's face was flushed, and he said with full excitement:
"Those opposition assembly members in the Upper House have all been caught. As long as there are no omissions here and we successfully break into the Wang Gong, our wish for so many years will be considered..."
"Slap!"
Just as the plump middle-aged man was halfway through his sentence, a palm suddenly reached out and slapped him hard on the face, then snatched the telescope away.
"Ouch, what are you doing?"
"Wang Gong! Look at the Wang Gong quickly!"
Wang Gong? Could it be that someone in the Wang Gong found us?
Upon hearing the companion's panicked shout, the plump middle-aged man felt a chill in his heart, then turned his head and looked.
However, the Wang Gong under the sun was still as quiet as before. Neither a team of fully armed soldiers rushed out, nor did anyone come out to ask for help.
Except for the guards on daily patrol and a few gardeners working on the lawn, everything was the same as when he looked just now, and there was no difference.
"What's wrong?"
After looking twice and not seeing what was wrong, a blank look appeared on the plump middle-aged man's face. But among the group of rebels in the clock tower, it seemed that others had discovered something wrong, and the sound of gasping for air sounded one after another.
"How did this happen?!"
"Could it be that someone else is preparing to attack the Wang Gong?"
"It seems something is going to happen!"
"What's wrong? What happened to the Wang Gong? Where did something happen?"
Finding that the plump middle-aged man still didn't seem to understand, the bald woman who had just slapped him stomped her feet and said anxiously:
"People! You look at the people!"
People?
Upon hearing the bald woman's reminder, the plump middle-aged man was slightly startled, hurriedly squinted his eyes and looked toward the Wang Gong, then, like everyone else, gasped for air.
When looking from a distance, he didn't notice it. Now, squinting his eyes and looking carefully, whether it was those patrolling guards or the gardeners working on the lawn, they all had a strange metallic luster on their bodies.
▲▲¢o
And besides the strange luster on their bodies, the actions of the guards and gardeners also became strange, as if the complex joints on their bodies had suffered some kind of strange simplification, and the movements of their limbs became mechanical and stiff, looking like...
Like one living tin doll after another!
Finally discovering what was wrong, the plump middle-aged man hurriedly snatched back his telescope and looked toward the Wang Gong.
In the lens of the telescope, those people who had flesh and blood just now had really turned into one tin doll after another, and the eyeballs that originally belonged to humans on their faces had been replaced by pairs of colored glass beads.
On the faces with metallic luster, the positions that originally belonged to the mouths also had two lines pulled down from the corners of the lips like a puppet's chin, opening and closing mechanically from time to time, having completely turned into the appearance of toys.
And what made the plump middle-aged man's heart jump was that the range of these tin doll people seemed not to be limited to the vicinity of the Wang Gong, but was spreading rapidly outward.
First, it was a few guard posts directly opposite the Wang Gong, then it was the outer wall and thoroughfare further out, then it was a small square connected to the thoroughfare, and the bustling street outside the small square.
Like some kind of strange plague that was spreading, and like an ink dot dripped on a huge piece of white paper with the Wang Gong as the center, one human being after another with flesh and blood was uncontrollably turning toward tin dolls.
And those people who had inexplicably turned into tin dolls seemed to be unaware of it, still doing their own things according to the appearance before they turned into dolls, totally unaware of what kind of changes had happened to them...
Wait?!
While being surprised by the strange changes in the distance, the plump middle-aged man seemed to remember something, hurriedly took the telescope and turned his head, and began to look for the carriage carrying Li Ang under the cover of the building, shouting anxiously while looking:
"Where is the leader? Where has the leader gone?"
Upon hearing the plump middle-aged man's shout, the group of rebels who were surprised by the changes in the Wang Gong also reacted. According to the original plan, their leader was currently holding the Prince hostage and preparing to mix into the Wang Gong as an inside agent.
However, looking at the weird appearance of the Wang Gong now, let alone mixing in, it is estimated that as soon as the carriage drives nearby, it will be turned into a tin person together!
After searching around in a hurry and still not finding Li Ang's carriage, someone among the rebels finally reacted.
"Send the signal! Send the signal quickly!"
Upon hearing his words, everyone suddenly woke up like a dream, hurriedly took out the signal flare, and wanted to warn their leader not to approach the Wang Gong at this time, however...
"Too late! It's already too late!"
Pointing to the small square in front of the Wang Gong, the bald woman put down the slingshot in her hand and said with a crying face:
"The carriage just went in, our leader is already a tin person now!"
