Bian Ziming dispatched Vice General Qiu with clean efficiency.
They stripped the clothes off the Night Owl Guards, and Chen Wangbei and a dozen of his trusted aides put them on.
Disguised as Night Owl Guards, Chen Wangbei and his men brazenly approached the city gate.
The commanding guard on the city wall looked down. Through the hazy night, he couldn't make out their faces, but he could tell from their attire that they were Night Owl Guards.
The guard assumed the Night Owl Guards had completed their task. Without a second thought, he ordered the gate opened to let them pass.
The tall, imposing city gate slowly swung open.
Chen Wangbei led his men inside.
The guard captain inside was about to step forward to greet them when he realized the "Night Owl Guards" before him were all unfamiliar faces. They weren't the same group he had seen earlier.
The captain's heart sank. He knew something was wrong.
