Taking advantage of the lively fight in front, Mai Ke and the others had already quietly flown to the backyard.

I saw an open field in the backyard, with bright torches, and several wooden stakes erected in the middle, on which people were tied. The distance was still a little far, and he couldn't tell if they were disciples of the Divine Machine Pavilion.

Around each stake were several people, some armed with leather whips, some with clubs, and some with sharp knives. It seems that the prisoners are being interrogated, and if there is a disagreement, they will be beheaded. At that time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still very strict with rebellion, and once they were captured alive, nine times out of ten, they would be executed by Ling Chi.

Mai Ke was very careful to get closer, and now he confirmed that those pillars were tied to the people who had been arrested in the Shenji Pavilion. When the target was confirmed, Mai Ke raised a little more, patiently waiting for the opportunity.

Suddenly, there was a commotion coming from the front yard, and then someone rushed to the front yard to help. One of the leaders of the department here received the name, left half of the men, and led the other half to hurry away and go straight to the front yard.

When they turned the corner and disappeared, the people here had not come to their senses, and Mai Ke gave an order and led eighteen people to fly and attack. Because it attacked from a high place to a low place, the wings of the raptor did not need to vibrate, and the bunched wings smashed silently into the target like stones.

The enemy didn't have time to react, and the attack was already in sight. Only one enemy soldier, who also seemed to be the leader, heard the sound of the raptor reaching its lowest point and spread its wings, and felt that it was not good, so he slashed at the nearest captive with his sword!

How could Mai Ke let him succeed, he kept staring at everyone! Immediately, a hidden weapon was issued, and the last one came first, and the big knife fell to the ground with a "dang long" sound, and the knife bearer also covered his wrist and screamed in pain.

The rest of the special operations team had already engaged the enemy, and they all used their grappling techniques to subdue the enemy present. Then, grab their back waist and take it into the air. Another person with a sharp knife cut the rope that bound the person at once, and with the other hand picked up the person who was tied up by the waist, and then flew into the air.

In the blink of an eye, there was no one in the courtyard. All that was left were a few lonely stakes, and broken ropes.

At this time, the reserve sent by Eagle Dive also arrived. But it was too late, so I had to look at the stakes and ropes and lament. This is a stealing of chickens and rice--not to mention that the enemy has run away, and his dozen or so brothers are gone. It's the same story as the front yard.

Before retreating, Mai Ke stopped by the front yard and told Wu Renxiao that everything was fine and he could call it a day.

Haunting Wuxuan was also majestic once, and sent a retreat signal to those Shenji Pavilion disciples who were still attacking. These disciples were attacking with great interest, and when they heard the order, they didn't say a word, and they retreated completely in the blink of an eye.

When the night raiders were gone, the governor's yamen was restored to the previous silence, and the eagle dive had time to investigate the results in detail. I don't know how many people the enemy came this time, and I lost twenty-four of my own men. Not to mention, all the captives captured a few days ago have also been rescued.

Needless to say, it was the people of the Shenji Pavilion who did it. But when did they become so powerful? They never left our sight. That is, because they can control zhì, the imperial court temporarily tolerates their storage, otherwise, they would have been uprooted long ago.

Since they can break my defenses, rescue my captives, and take my captives, it seems that they know about our situation as well. No, I have to inform the co-organizer of the situation immediately!

He didn't care that it was late at night, and he didn't care whether he disturbed Lord Li's rest, and immediately went to another courtyard to find Li Hongzhang.

However, it really didn't disturb Lord Li's rest. It's time for the eagle to dive, and Master Li is reading it at night. It can be seen that becoming a famous minister of ZTE is by no means accidental.

Knowing that there must be something urgent, Li Hongzhang didn't care about putting on his shoes, and dragged the eagle dive in. Then the two sat down facing each other on two low couches.

"Lord Li, Eagle Diving has something important to tell you, so don't take the liberty ......" The voice suddenly stopped.

"So, go on, I'll listen!"

"Amazing...... Hahaha! I didn't expect that I would also endure the adult's welcome once, which is a great honor!"

Following the other party's eyes, Li Hongzhang also looked at his feet, only to realize that both feet were wearing shoes.

Only then did I realize that the greeting was in a hurry, not to show politeness. It seems that everything has to go through by yourself to understand it deeply. ”

But he added: "I said, Eagle, aren't you in a hurry? Why were you suddenly interrupted by this little thing?" ”

Eagle Diving then went back to business, recounted what happened before, and then talked about his worries: "I'm worried that our arrangement is already known to the enemy, and now we are in the light, and they are in the dark." ”

Li Hongzhang was secretly frightened when he heard this, the prisoners were lost, and the disappearance of the twenty-four people was really extraordinary. Which of the disciples of this Hidden Eagle Pavilion is not a well-known martial arts master? Who can catch them without leaving even a trace?

I couldn't help but shudder in my heart, and suddenly remembered Lord Zeng's reminder: "Shaoquan is here, I don't worry about others, but I have to pay special attention to one person." If he hadn't intervened, I wouldn't have sent you. Those chaotic people in Guangxi are enough to deal with with the governor of Lao and the military gate. You have to pay special attention to the fact that if Mai Ke appears and obstructs the clearance, you will have to deal with it with all your might. In this way, we may be able to reduce some losses, or at least save lives. If you take it lightly, it is possible to do anything, but there is no good thing. ”

It seems that this guy has intervened, and it is really difficult to deal with, and getting started is such a slap in the face! Lord Zeng is really prescient.

With this number in his heart, Li Hongzhang has both a bottom and no score in his heart. In desperation, he had no choice but to say to Yingqian: "I think so, Governor Lao is scheming, although he only manages civil affairs, regardless of the military, but he is also far-sighted and has the talent to strategize, it is better to invite him here, we will discuss it together, and it will be easy to implement." Forget about Xiangjunmen, let's wait for us to set a strategy and inform him. ”

Eagle Submarine fully agreed, and also felt that Xiang Junmen was not suitable for advice. After a while, Governor Lao arrived, and although he was asleep, he had not yet slept yet, and he was also worried about the current situation.

After listening to the analysis and introduction of the situation by the two, Governor Lao's worried look added a kind of helplessness. He said: "If Xiang Junmen's character and military arrangements are smooth, they will be like a bamboo; once the battle situation is not smooth and the battle is defeated, the army will be defeated like a mountain." We must prepare for the back, and think about defeat before we say victory. ”

Since there is a consensus of opinion, everyone used their brains on how to arrange the army's battle plan. As a result, it is basically equivalent to not saying anything, because Xiang Rong still has the final say in the affairs of the army.

In the end, Governor Lao gritted his teeth: "It's really not good, my private family has no choice but to devote myself to this purge! I have commanded 2,000 militia groups, and my combat effectiveness is comparable to that of the soldiers of the Green Battalion." ”
