The main room was dark, except for the two lanterns under the eaves in front of the door, which cast light through the window lattice. When the wind blows, the lanterns sway, and the light in the room sways with it.

Qin Xinming, the smiling shopkeeper who has always been soft dough in the eyes of Yangzhou people, is wearing armor at this moment, a horizontal knife resting on his lap, sitting cross-legged on the futon on the ground like Mei Jiu, in front of them, a row of armor soldiers holding shields in their hands, quietly sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Behind Mei Jiu and Qin Xinming, Mei Jiu's family sat against the wall, and at this moment they were trembling one by one, and Qin Xinming even heard the sound of the women's teeth fighting.

"General Qin, since you already know that these thieves are coming, why don't you do it first and arrest them one by one, and you have to do these things to lure the king in!" Mei Jiu was a little dissatisfied.

Qin Xinming smiled, his mouth full of white teeth was particularly conspicuous in the darkness.

"Zhizhou, in this Yangzhou, I don't know how many spies are hidden, and Yangzhou is a place where businessmen gather, and I don't know how many people come in every day, this time since the two sides have torn their faces, Gong Yunda must do his best to succeed in one blow, otherwise it will be bad for him if things drag on."

"So what?"

"If we do it, of course, we can catch most of them, but there will inevitably be a small number of people who will get the news and hide, and what is even more worrying is that there are those who are not exposed and will hide deeper and deeper. Zhizhou, think about it, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves. "Qin Xinming Dao." Let them think that we are not guarded, so they will gather all their forces to ensure that one blow will be hit, and if you kill Zhizhou, Yangzhou will be leaderless. Without you, we can't afford this situation. ”

"That's right!" Mei Jiu was happily told by Qin Xinming, in the Yangzhou Bureau, he is really an indispensable person.

"Don't worry, Lord Zhizhou, everything has been arranged, just waiting for the thief to come!" Qin Xinming said.

"What about Su Bao's people?" Mei Jiu asked.

"Su Bao himself is a general, but we don't need to overstep our responsibilities, some other important people may be killed by the other party, we have already arranged manpower, and there will be no accidents." Qin Xinming said with a smile.

"That's good." Mei Jiu nodded: "But is it really coming today?" I've been waiting for three days in a row, and I'm fine, but my family really can't hold on. ”

"I guess it...... Hush! Qin Xinming suddenly put his finger to his lips, and the person also stood up.

Mei Jiu suddenly became nervous.

More than a dozen anchor hooks were thrown from outside the high courtyard wall, hooked at the head of the wall, and after a while, more than a dozen heads poked out from the courtyard wall, and the tanuki jumped down from the wall, and one person went straight to the side door and gently opened the side door.

In another place, a lawn on the ground suddenly moved, and actually moved to the side, and a man crawled out like a mouse, looked left and right for a moment, turned around and made a movement, and then another person crawled out of the inside.

In the pond in the backyard, bubbles bubbled up, and a few heads with reeds in their mouths came out of the water, and then swam towards the shore. From the water, dozens of people came out one after another.

In a side room in the backyard, from time to time someone walked in in the dark and whispered something to Ren Xiaonian, Ren Xiaonian opened his mouth in surprise, he really couldn't imagine that in this Zhizhou Mansion, there were loopholes everywhere, like a sieve.

But think about it, Yangzhou has been in the hands of the Gong family a few years ago, and Mei Jiu took office only three years ago.

"Tell the brothers outside about the situation here, let them quickly figure out the end of these dark passages, we are starting to do it here, and the outside should be cleaned up, don't let people run away!" Ren Xiaonian commanded.

Several people sneaked in from different places, but the goal was very clear, most of them came to the main house, and some of them went to the side room.

Qin Xinming made a gesture, and the shield holders in the room stood up in unison, raised the shields in their hands, and in a breath, the sound of bows and crossbows suddenly sounded outside, and dozens of crossbow arrows broke through the window.

"It's so vicious!" Qin Xinming laughed.

With the crossbow arrows shooting in, dozens of black-clothed people broke the window and kicked the door, rushed in, Qin Xinming drew his sword and stood up, laughing and said, "It's our turn!" ”

The shield-bearers raised their free hand, but in that hand, they also held a crossbow.

The Assassins came from the outside, and they couldn't see the inside of the house clearly, but the inside of the house kept staring at the outside of the house, and although the lights were dim, such a large person could still see it clearly.

The sound of the crossbow machine sounded, and the assassin who had just rushed in fell down like a leek.

At the same time, there were shouts outside the house, rockets were fired from the ridge, and several large fires were lit in the backyard, but the yard was illuminated.

Soldiers in armor surrounded the Assassins from all sides, surrounding the Assassins.

Ren Xiaonian's face sank like water, he choked and pulled out the horizontal knife, and said coldly: "Don't leave any of them, all of them will be slaughtered!" ”

The assassination came suddenly, but it ended very quickly. In less than a pillar of incense, nearly a hundred assassins who invaded the backyard were all lying on the ground, and the blood flowed between the courtyards, slowly gathering into a stream, and the clear water gradually turned red.

Mei Jiu walked out of the main house accompanied by Qin Xinming, looking at the corpses scattered in the courtyard, and couldn't help but feel sick to her stomach.

"Clean?" Qin Xinming looked at Ren Xiaonian who came over with a bloody horizontal knife.

"One doesn't pull!" Ren Xiaonian said with a smile.

"You have to work hard to be a general, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep tonight!" Qin Xinming said with a smile: "The finishing work here will be handed over to Mei Zhizhou." ”

"Where are you going?" Mei Jiu asked.

"Zhizhou, this Yangzhou city must also be cleaned and cleaned, and the unclean things must be cleaned out as soon as possible, so that this Yangzhou city can be cleaned and cleaned, and everyone will be united!" Qin Xinming smiled and bowed his hand to Mei Jiu, and the two of them strode out of the Zhizhou Mansion with Ren Xiaonian.

In fact, when the assassination began, the entire Yangzhou City was already unpeaceful, and in many wealthy mansions, teams of Ding Yong rushed out and rushed towards their respective targets. But they were greeted by armies of heavily armed troops, fighting in the streets and alleys.

When Ren Xiaonian walked out of the Zhizhou Mansion, he took off a horn from his waist and blew it in the sky.

Accompanied by his trumpet, a trumpet sounded from all directions of Yangzhou City, with him as the center, spreading in all directions.

Two turned on their horses and galloped forward, and behind them, hundreds of horsemen followed.

The sky was bright, and the city of Yangzhou was once again calm.

When the frightened ordinary people pushed open the door of their homes and walked out, all they saw were groups of soldiers picking up corpses on the streets.

The soldiers lifted the corpses from the ground, threw them into the flatbed wagons that followed them, and when they were full, they headed out of the city.

After the corpse was collected, someone came over with bags of loess, spread the loess on top of the blood stains, and then swept away the loess, behind them, others carried a load of water, splashed on the street, and with the flow of water, the street was once again restored to its former neatness and cleanness.

On this night, a purge was launched in Yangzhou City, and all those who were loyal to Gong Yunda were killed cleanly.

Above the city, the flags belonging to Huainan Festival Town have all disappeared, and only the Tang character flags remain, fluttering in the wind above the city wall.

On the shore of White Horse Lake, Ge Cai looked at the small position in front of him that was built up by carriages and soldiers' corpses, and strode forward. Yesterday's confrontation, after a fierce battle, the Huainan army led by Gong Hao was defeated, and after escaping here, it was caught up by the opponent, so it could only set up this small position to hold on.

Now, they are also in their final moments.

Zhang Guangli, the new Yangzhou governor who has not yet taken office, was unlucky, he was hit by an arrow when he fled last night, and was dragged by Gong Hao to flee here.

Ge Cai rushed up, Liu Yuan rushed up, and Qin Scar rushed up.

When Ge Cai stabbed Gong Hao in the chest with a knife, and then kicked him far away, Zhang Guangli, who was in the center of the position, exhaled his last breath heavily, tilted his head, and went to report to King Yama with Gong Hao.

"Send a message to Yangzhou City, the Huainan army is 1,000, and it will be wiped out!" Ge Cai dragged the knife and said loudly as he walked back.

"Captain Ge, what should we do with these seizures?" Qin Scar chased after him and asked.

"Weapons and armor, confiscate and confiscate." Ge Caitou didn't reply: "Other property, well, this is the first battle, so let's give it all to the soldiers." You go and divide the reward into three levels according to the size of the merit. ”

"It's to motivate, this battle is just an appetizer, and next, Gong Yunda, who thinks that he is embarrassed and angry, is going to use troops against Yangzhou in a big way, and when the time comes, it's not just these thousands of people, I'm afraid that we will meet the army of 10,000 units, and it is also land and water." Liu Yuandao.

"The soldiers are coming, and the water is flooding!" Ge Cai sneered: "When he comes, we won't be a thousand people. When the time comes, at least three thousand elites will be waiting for them here. Just let them see what a real army should look like. ”
