The people at the gates of the city who were about to enter and leave the city were now standing on both sides of the road, and the sturdy soldiers began to approach the courtyard surrounded by the guards with neat steps.

Consider that there may be a large number of enemies in the courtyard, and there is a high probability that the opponent will have weapons such as crossbow arrows. The soldiers in the first row were armed with large shields, and the crossbowmen and musketeers aimed at the house from the eaves of the house.

"Han, will these people dig into the Dao, why don't you secret guards rush in first. Instead, they waited for us to come. Chen Zhuang also felt sorry for his subordinates, these assassins were not good at battlefield fighting, but sneak attacks and individual combat were first-class.

Duan Han didn't care much about the dissatisfaction in Chen Zhuang's words, "The purpose of the lord mobilizing you to Yecheng is to get rid of the clans who are planning this matter, and we can't afford to lose due to the limited manpower of our secret guards. In this way, I have the special wine of the Chu State, and I still use the Bao Mao used by the Emperor, and the taste is ......."

As soon as he heard that it was fine wine, Chen Zhuang got closer, "How many jars of wine are there, don't sell it." ”

"Let's let the soldiers do it, if these assassins do escape through the secret passages, then it will be ......"

Chen Zhuang reacted immediately when he heard this, "Prepare to attack, pay attention to keeping a live mouth." ”

The soldiers with shields began to slowly walk out of the alley, and their neat steps kicked loudly on the bluestone steps.

The crossbowmen standing on the eaves filled their bowstrings, and the musketeers kept their eyes fixed on the inside of the house.

"The people inside will be captured, there is no way out for stubborn resistance, come out early and surrender to accept leniency." A soldier with a loud voice shouted behind a large shield.

But there seemed to be no movement in the house, not even the slightest sound of walking. The silence was like the calm before a storm, and there was no wonder what kind of traps might be in this courtyard.

Looking at the courtyard where there was still no movement at all, Chen Zhuang gave the final order, "Prepare for a strong attack and try to stay alive!" Rush in! ”

The slowly advancing military formation suddenly became agitated, and a dozen soldiers took out the broken hammers that had been assembled long ago and rushed towards the gate with arrows, and the iron cone was knocked open after two impacts.

The soldiers with the hammers quickly retreated, and the soldiers with shields rushed to the front line and began to form a shield formation in the first courtyard. But there was no rain of arrows on the floor as expected, and there were no hidden mechanisms on the floor.

It felt very strange, but the soldiers began to search room by room.

Chen Zhuang kept staring at the movement in the courtyard, and asked Duan Han uneasily: "Is this courtyard too quiet, there is not even a sound of fighting, only the sound of doors being knocked open and chatting."

"That may be that we are late, maybe there is really a secret way. Behind these assassins are the families of Yecheng, and it is normal to have such a skill. Duan Han had already prepared to throw himself into the air, but there was still a slight loss in his tone.

Suddenly, the movement in the courtyard suddenly stopped, and a person ran quickly in front of Duan Han and Chen Zhuang.

The soldier who ran over said as calmly as possible, "Report to General Chen, Lord Duan, we found twenty-eight corpses in a room, and the corpses all had new wounds that should have been left from the assassination, and these dead bodies should be those assassins." ”

After hearing the news that came, Duan Han hurriedly asked, "How did these people die?"

"There were teacups scattered around the corpse, and it is initially estimated that someone poisoned the teacups."

After listening to the report, Chen Zhuang stomped his feet heavily, and scolded in his mouth, "Damn, these people have all been wiped out, so what should we do now." After scolding, Chen Zhuang seemed to think of another question, "Then what should we do now, these corpses can't tell us who the main messenger behind the scenes is, but we can't let these people retreat." ”

Duan Han smiled, "Who is dead, there is a profound man in this Yanzhou City, let's quickly inform him to come over, and we will put these corpses in the cool cellar to preserve, by the way, go to the Zhen family to borrow some ice, these rich families will keep some ice." ”

"That's right, this time we provoked the Zhen family, this Zhen Wu will definitely be willing to lend us ice. Fast! Ordered the brothers inside to carry the body to ...... Lift to. Chen Zhuang couldn't think of a place where the cellar could be requisitioned for a while.

There is a cellar in this Taishou Mansion, but it is not like putting the corpse of twenty ao in this marriage place, this is too unlucky. The rest of the cellars belong to other people's families, so you can't point a knife at someone else and borrow it from your cellar.

It was still Duan Han who wanted to come up with something, "Just move to the cellar where I live, where the space is large and cool enough." ”

"But Lord Duan, isn't this too unlucky, there is a ...... in this place of residence" Chen Zhuang did not continue.

Duan Han looked indifferent, "When I was in the rivers and lakes before, I slept in a temple full of dead and broken temples for several times. In order to exercise my guts, the master let me sleep in the wilderness for half a month, and I have long been taboo about this. ”

Coupled with Lu Zhan, there are some things that you believe in, and you don't believe in them. I don't understand the principle behind it.

Hearing Duan Han say this, Chen Zhuang sincerely began to admire Duan Han, "Duan Darao's courage is really not comparable to ordinary people. ”

"It's all about doing things for the Lord, nothing. By the way, it is necessary to strengthen vigilance in recent years, and let the brothers stay in Yecheng to prevent those behind-the-scenes messengers from jumping over the wall. ”

"That's right, if they are in a hurry, they may directly rebel."

Just when Chen Zhuang and Duan Han were in the air, Lu Zhan's situation here was not optimistic. Although he barely finished the process, Lu Zhan could still feel Zhen Yuehua's trembling hands.

After being sent into the room, after instructing the surrounding maids to pay attention, they are ready to go out to deal with the guests outside.

Just as Lu Zhan was about to leave the room, Zhen Yuehua suddenly called out to Lu Zhan, "Lu Lang, can you ......?"

"Can it be anything?"

"Can you stay with me, don't leave." Zhen Yuehua suddenly found that her actions were a little rude, according to the education of the obedient, it was all husband and wife.

After Lu Zhan heard Zhen Yuehua's voice, he turned around and went back to save Zhen Yuehua's words. "Okay, I'm not leaving. A few of you go and inform the outside, and I won't be able to go out if I have something to do. ”
