It's another year's Shangyuan Festival, after dark, the lanterns arranged early in Hangzhou City are lit up one by one, illuminating this famous city in the south of the Yangtze River into a city that never sleeps.

Although the tragic disaster is still in front of us, it has only been more than ten days, and stains of blood can still be seen outside the gate of Genshan, but the days always have to look forward, and the living people still live the familiar Shangyuan Festival.

Hundreds of people took to the streets, making the whole city of Hangzhou jubilant, mixed with the sound of firecrackers, not much worse than on Chinese New Year's Eve. However, in Hangzhou, which is lit up by various lanterns, there are also a few places that are relatively quiet, and there are government yamen.

In the backyard of the political secretary's yamen and Huang Qinru's small courtyard, it is even quieter at the moment, and it seems that the noise outside has been completely cut off from this. In one of the rooms, a few delicate side dishes were on the table, and a pot of high-quality daughter red was also warm.

After filling himself and the person in front of him with a glass of wine, Huang Qinru frowned slightly: "Are you so sure that you can wipe out those guys in Shilipu in Anji Prefecture this time?" ”

"Everything is laid out, and if they do it, they will not be able to escape."

"But what if they were patient and careful enough not to do anything there?"

"It's the best place to do it today, and I'm sure those guys will be a little impatient with this way. There is nothing more suitable than a government-run post station. And, even if they don't really do it there, we have the next chance. ”

"You've got their minds right."

"What I calculated was just Wu Miao's thoughts. Since he had been ordered early, he would not give up easily. And on top of that, I have a second line of insurance, so it's all right. ”

After the last sentence was finished, the person who had been leaning in the shadows sat up straight, it was Lu Jin, who should have been in the Shilipu Inn!

@@@@@

The bowstring snapped, followed by an eager cracking of the air.

A look of panic suddenly appeared on the face of the good hand of the East Factory who had just exited the door, and he quickly twisted his body and swung his knife to resist the deadly arrows shot from above.

But the arrows were much more powerful than ordinary bows and arrows, and although their knives had blocked the incoming arrows, after a single impact, the arrows did not hit the ground, but bounced off the other side. As a result, it was even more difficult for these people to parry, and in the blink of an eye, five or six people were hit by arrows.

"They're using a crossbow!" Duan Feng had quickly turned his mind around and hurriedly shouted: "Go into the front hall to dodge!" As he spoke, he swung the knife in his hand again, blocking the two powerful arrows, and his footsteps quickly rushed towards the hall in front of him.

However, the situation of these Dongchang fans who came with him was not so smooth, their reaction was not as fast as Duan Feng, and they were frightened because they heard the other party use crossbow arrows, and as soon as their movements were slow, three more people fell to the ground with arrows, and let out a miserable scream.

And what made Duan Feng even more frightened was still to come, just when they rushed back to the front hall in embarrassment, before they could even out their breath, after a few shouts, several figures brandished steel knives and slashed over. They already have a setup here.

"Kill!" Duan Feng, who knew that he had fallen into the trap, had no other thoughts at this time, so he could only grit his teeth, roar, and take the lead in swinging his knife towards the people in front of him. As soon as he looked at them, he recognized their identities as the servants who had escorted Lu Jin's carriage and scattered in the town's houses.

However, at this time, they who came to kill with knives could not see the bullying of ordinary errand soldiers, fearing hardness and cowardice, and they were all murderous, so they were not fierce. collided head-on with a fan who ran out first.,Actually pressed the other party steadily.。

At this time, Duan Feng had already rushed to kill, and after letting go of the two steel knives that were slashing at him, the knife in his hand had been suddenly dragged, just cutting the chest of one of them, and then he advanced again, and the knife was like a fly, and the offensive of killing these people was sluggish!

However, he only took the opportunity to attack suddenly, because he was at a disadvantage in numbers, and there were several people who had been injured by arrows before entering the hall, and after a hard-fought encounter, Duan Feng's forward momentum had been completely blocked.

"Where's Duan Rui?" It was only at this time that Duan Feng discovered a problem, his brother had not appeared since just now, and he didn't know where to go. This annoyed him a lot, why was this guy so unreliable at a critical moment, and he needed to help.

Duan Rui was above them at this time, and when an exclamation came from below, he knew that things had really gone wrong as he feared. Immediately, he heard someone in the hall on the second floor across the door from him giving the order - to release arrows.

This discovery made him shocked, but his heart moved. Judging from the previous feedback, this is a trap set by Lu Zhen for them, and presumably there should be a lot of ambush inside and outside the inn by now.

And in the case of a sudden attack, and at the same time the other party has a bow and crossbow, it is too difficult for these people to kill them. There is only one way, perhaps only - capture the thief and capture the king first!

Although I don't know if Lu Zhen is the commander of this conspiracy, it will not be wrong that the most important person is inside! So as long as you suddenly enter and take down the person who gave the order, everything will still have a turnaround, and you can even complete the task and kill Lu Zhen as well!

Thinking of this, he immediately gestured to his companions who had gone upstairs with him, and asked them to follow him. Then, with a sinking body and a force on his shoulder, he slammed into the false door of the hall, smashing the bamboo door to pieces, and slamming his body into the hall.

Without hesitation, as soon as the man entered, he swung his knife at a man dressed as a civilian in front of him. Just now he saw that it was this person who was directing the archers to release arrows, and his clothes were the same as those of Lu Zhen mentioned in the previous message.

Duan Rui's sudden entry was indeed beyond the expectations of everyone in the hall. The moment he heard the door crack behind him, the crossbowmen gathered at the window immediately turned around, and when they saw the situation clearly and wanted to step forward to stop him, he had already pounced on the target, and with a flash of the knife in his hand, he slashed horizontally at the throat of the opponent.

Of course, Duan Rui's move was not to kill Lu Zhen with a single sword. Although their ultimate goal is this, things have changed, and he still wants to retreat with his whole body, so this seemingly ferocious knife has left its strength, as long as it hits Lu Jin's neck, it will retract its strength and control the person.

But at this moment, a mutation suddenly occurred!

I thought that the target of the hand was caught when the knife was approaching, and the body suddenly twisted and deviated, and actually let this fatal slash by a fraction of a millimeter. At the same time, he was not busy turning around, but with a wave of his backhand, a cold light burst out, directly hitting Duan Rui's chest.

This trick is very measured, and while protecting oneself, it can also defeat the enemy, so as to create an opportunity for oneself to turn around and face the enemy.

Duan Rui's skills are also very good, although the incident happened suddenly, he still retreated in time, and flashed this fatal knife. But his face had become extremely ugly, because he was convinced that the guy in front of him was not the target Lu Jin.

And in this hall, none of the others is Lu Jin.

In other words, there is no Lu Jin in this inn at all, and even along the way, it is difficult to say whether there is Lu Jin and others in the team they are tracking.

Everything was a trap from the start! After this thought was transferred in his heart, Duan Rui's heart had already sunk suddenly, knowing that something was wrong!

However, the person on the other side would not give him any respite, and just when Duan Rui was stunned, this person had already turned around, and the knife in his hand flashed sharply and slashed again.

Duan Rui hurriedly folded his spirit and waved his knife to meet him, the two knives intersected, and there was a terrifying clanging sound, which made his tiger's mouth numb, and the power of the opponent's knife was far superior to him. What was even more desperate was that the two companions who rushed in after him had been easily grabbed by the surrounding guys.

Only then did he see the man in front of him clearly. Although the other party's outfit at this time was an ordinary scholar, his angular face and cold eyes made him immediately recognize this person's identity: "You are Yang Zhen of Jinyi Wei Baihu!" ”

"That's right! I've been waiting for you for a long time! Yang Zhen laughed cruelly, his body suddenly rushed forward, and a knife with momentum had already slashed over. Duan Rui hurriedly swung the knife to the frame, although he held the knife, he couldn't unload its amazing power, his steps were chaotic, and his body had staggered to the side.

But before he could stabilize his body, Yang Zhen had already kicked out fiercely, kicking Duan Rui's lower abdomen, kicking him who was already unstable on his feet and flying out sideways, and smashed right on the wall of the hall, making him spit out a mouthful of blood.

Before Duan Rui could regain his breath, several men had already rushed on, and several knives had already been put on his neck: "Don't move!" ”

At this time, there were also a few screams downstairs, Duan Rui could hear it clearly, and one of them was from his brother Duan Feng. In other words, these people downstairs have also been caught!

At this point, Duan Rui already knew that there was no possibility of turning the tables, so he could only throw away the knife in his hand and no longer resist. In fact, from the moment he entered here and found that the target was not Lu Jin, he knew that his people were defeated. It's just that he still can't figure it out, when did the other party adjust the bag and change the person?

Outside the town, the faces of Bai Lian and the others were also full of doubts. Just now they saw that someone surrounded and killed the inn after Duan Feng and them, and they knew that these guys had fallen into a trap.

"Dharma Protector, should we go over and help?" Someone asked uneasily.

The cold look on Bai Lian's face has been replaced by a wry smile: "It's really stupid for us to go again at this time, this won't change anything at all." ”

"How could they set such a trap? That official named Lu Zhen is really bold, and he actually used himself as a bait......"

"He may not be in this inn, I even suspect that he should be in Hangzhou City now, waiting to see the jokes of our people." Bai Lian snorted, his face was gloomy, and at the same time, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, even he couldn't figure out when Lu Zhen was replaced.
