Duan Han, who was asleep, suddenly opened his eyes after hearing the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and the people who didn't sleep in the middle of the night were either in a hurry or assassins.

Knock knock!

"Your Excellency, now we have found the location of the gathering place of the main messenger behind the suspected assassination operation, but there are quite a few guards there, and now we are coming to you to apply for the mobilization of the rest of the secret guard brothers to arrest them."

As soon as he heard this, Duan Han didn't even bother to put on his coat, so he put on his shoes and hurriedly ran out. "Where is the location, immediately mobilize all the secret guards in the city to go to reinforcements, and be sure to capture them alive." Just as Duan Han was about to step out of the door, he seemed to suddenly think of something in his heart. "Did you also inform Chen Zhuang of this matter?"

"That's right, this time, thanks to the brothers of the Yecheng Army, the people in the army have already gone to inform General Chen, and if nothing else, General Chen has already rushed to the mansion with his men and horses."

As soon as he heard this, Duan Han relieved himself, "Then we don't have to rush to go, let's give him this credit." I haven't dressed yet, Rong Ye, I'll get dressed first before I go. ”

Looking at the leisurely steps about to return to the house, the secret guard who came to report the news was anxious. couldn't help but speak: "My lord, you are the commander-in-chief of the secret guard, if General Chen, who is in charge of military affairs, takes the lead, then the face of our secret guard will be lost to the lord."

This report reminded Duan Han that behind this operation was not only a matter of merit, but also the reputation of the secret guards, if the secret guards in charge of special work were slower than those who became soldiers, maybe they would be laid off directly in the future.

Duan Han immediately stopped, "That's right, I can't see that your brain is quite bright, and you will be promoted to captain in the future, and you will work beside me." ”

"Thank you for your love. But let's get there as soon as possible. ”

"Well, I'm out of clothes, go now, you show me the way!"

Outside the courtyard of this assembly, there were already nearly 100 secret guards and more than 300 soldiers of the Yecheng Army, when they suddenly saw a person who didn't even put on a coat and walked over quickly.

This disheveled person has a powerful aura, and the person who came must be a martial arts master. All the guards and soldiers quietly adjusted their positions, what if the one who came was not their own but the enemy.

The moonlight reflected a frightening cold light on the flickering blades, but the speed of Rao did not slow down.

"What's going on now, Yang, you can report back to me."

This Yang is the commander of the secret guard, and only Lord Duan will call him that, except for the lord.

"My lord, there is a good chance that there are those behind-the-scenes messengers in this courtyard, and the guards in the courtyard are all practitioners, so we don't dare to get too close. However, it is estimated that there are at least 200 guards, and the gate and courtyard walls are specially reinforced. ”

When Duan Han heard this, he looked at the people around him, although the secret guards had been assembled, there were only about two hundred people, and the Yecheng army only had about three hundred people. After taking a deep breath, "Attacking is really not the best strategy, do you have any way to reduce the damage and capture these people alive." ”

Looking at Duan Han's meaning, he would not wait for Chen Zhuang's army to arrive, so now there is neither the necessary weapons nor the number of people with sufficient superiority.

"Otherwise, let's attack with fire, smoke them out with smoke, and pretend to be on fire to let them escape, so that we can avoid breaking into the courtyard and attacking." Yang suddenly came up with the technique of fire attack.

And the fire is all an illusion and will not harm the surrounding people, "Yes, let's arrange it now." Do a full set of plays, and let the brothers of the Yecheng army shout in a local accent. ”

The people who were holding a meeting in the courtyard suddenly heard a loud shout of swords from outside

"There's a fire, everyone come out quickly!"

"Quick! Fast! Come, water, don't let the fire reach our house! ”

The surrounding people were also awakened, and after looking at the gradually growing fire outside with sleepy eyes, they immediately called out to their families to go out for refuge.

The families at the meeting listened to the growing movement outside, and their hearts were also uneasy, the men outside shouted the slogan of extinguishing the fire, and the voices of the women crying kept beating on their hearts. "If we don't avoid it, the fire outside here will probably burn to us."

The thin man in the long shirt was still calm, "Now is a good time to leave, we can sneak out while it's so chaotic outside." With so many people, it won't attract people's attention, and when the fire is extinguished, there will be no such a good chance for us to go home with a swagger. ”

The dozen or so people present looked at each other, and after a brief eye contact, they immediately got up and left. Preparing to leave from different doorways, the heavy gates slowly opened.

The surrounding families looked at the crowds of people coming and going to fight the fire on the street, and secretly said in their hearts that it was not good, how could the carriage go on this road by themselves. The firefighting militia came and found a dozen wagons at night, which was too suspicious.

Whoever will leave in a carriage when they are on fire and fleeing for their lives.

"No, how can there be so many neighbors around here, and they have to block the streets. And how can there be so many young and strong lads. ”

"That's right, and these people seem to be slowly approaching us. The current situation seems to be a little wrong, so let's retreat to the courtyard first. ”

"Okay, let's go back now."

Seeing that these families who were about to get into the carriage were about to return to the courtyard, the secret guards and soldiers of the Yecheng Army who were ambushed outside immediately pounced.

Without the protection of the tall courtyard wall, these guards could only fight with the secret guards, but Duan Han's side had been prepared for a long time after all, and they knocked down a large number of guards as soon as they came up.

The long knife in his hand seemed to be able to split through the long night, resulting in the surrounding lives, and Duan Han captured the two family heads alive with his own strength. directly knocked these powerless old people unconscious, carried them on their shoulders, and jumped out.

"It's too late, let's let Duan Han take the lead. Rush up and give me all the people who wear guard clothes, and those heads of the family will live. Chen Zhuang, who came on horseback, was still late, because he lived far away.

As the soldiers of the brigade joined the battlefield, more than 400 guards were killed and wounded, and when the number of people was counted, it was found that there was one missing the figure of the head of the family.

"Damn, the thin man in the robe is gone. Hurry up who he is! Duan Han asked the captive with a long knife.
