Chapter 829 Chamber of Commerce Forces

On April nights, the breeze is gentle, the leaves are rustling, and the birds and insects are chirping.

At night, in Yanjing City, the lights are bright, there is no night general, and become quiet, the street is still lively, the shops are open, buyers and sellers negotiate with each other, in the restaurant, the doorman shouts, Xiao Er holds the wine, shuttles in the restaurant, and still runs business.

With the gradual implementation of the new additions, the law and order in Yanjing City is very good, and the road is not closed at night, and the economy has made long-term progress.

The degree of prosperity is almost comparable to Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Kingdom.

In the night, all kinds of scenes, showing the prosperity of Yanjing to the extreme, like a bright star, inlaid in the northern land.

As the night deepened, the noise on both sides of the main street gradually decreased, the scene of thousands of lights gradually disappeared, the shops were closed, the restaurants were closed, and the night watchman began to beat the gong, shouting that the sky was dry and dry, be careful of the candles, the hour had passed, and the market was closed.

In the streets, the number of people loitering and partying is decreasing, the breeze is blowing, and occasionally a few drunks will appear, talking and supporting each other, walking into the alleys to go home.

The sky is shrouded, and the city of Yanjing City is as usual, and after the evening is prosperous, the night is quiet again.

In the Silent City, occasionally, a few dog barks can be heard in the distance, which will quickly dissipate into the night sky.

The deeper the night, the darker the moon and the moon, the quieter the Yanjing City, no accident, tonight, it will still be peaceful.

It's a pity that the situation in Yanjing City is like a torrent in the whirlpool, and the undercurrent is surging, stirring the situation in the world.

Tonight's situation is destined to change like the sky, the wind and clouds surge, the black clouds cover the stars, and under the sky, there is darkness, and it seems that it is a good time to kill people and set fires.

During the day, Xiong Hui's idea of redeeming the wealth of Han Zhitong and other generals failed, and was humiliated by Lin Feng, the sixth prince of Chu State, unwilling in his heart, in order to complete the mission of entering Yan, he had to take risks, and Ping tried his best to rescue Han Zhitong and others.

At the moment of crisis in the Chu State, Xiong Hui sent an envoy to the Yan State at a time of crisis, which can be said to be an order to be in danger and shoulder great pressure.

Xiong Wu dared to accept Xiong Hui's envoy to Yan Guo because he knew that Xiong Hui was not incompetent, this person was bold and careful, did things well, and was a good planner.

When Xiong Hui rescued Han Zhitong, Yue Yunshan and other generals, he also adopted two sets of strategies, civil fighting and martial arts.

According to Xiong Wu's orders, he led the mission, left Yingcheng, crossed the river to the north, arrived in Yanguo, non-stop north, arrived in Yanjing, but stayed outside Yanjing for two days, the assassin spies found out the place where Han Zhitong, Yue Yunshan, and Chen Dongyu were imprisoned, and determined that the other party was in Wanyuan Lane, before leading the delegation into Yanjing City.

According to his conjecture, there is no literary fight, only martial arts.

Unexpectedly, the court's rescue method was blocked, and it was used at a critical moment to take precautions.

Xiong Hui is quite strategic, but he is deep-minded, he is a small-bellied chicken intestine, and if he is unhappy, he will report his flaws.

During the day, Xiong Hui was angry in the Dayan Palace, and Xiong Hui made up his mind to carry out retaliatory destruction on Yanjing City, strive to win in the chaos, and take the opportunity to rescue Han Zhitong and others.

What's more, the spies sent back the news that in recent years, the king has fought in the south and the north, and the emperors, ministers, and fierce generals of the vassal states have been captured in the east and west, and those who are strong-willed, have integrity, and have not served the Yan country, are all imprisoned in Wanyuan Lane.

These include the Jin Emperor Beichen Qiong, the prince Beichenge, the prince of Donghu Tafeng, Amur, the Xiongnu Han Murong Bowen, the prince Tuoba Che, the princess Tuoba Yuer, etc., there are dozens of people.

Hearing this news, Xiong Hui smiled at the corner of his mouth, and decided to make a desperate bet, not only to rescue Han Zhitong and the others, but also to strive to release the princes and kings imprisoned in Wanyuan Lane in the chaos.

He knows very well what kind of harm these imprisoned kings and ministers of the country will do once the dragon returns to the sea and the tiger is like a mountain.

As soon as they gave an order, the vast land of Yan will definitely be full of civil unrest, and the smoke will continue, and these imprisoned princes will become the vanguard of the rebellion against Yan, which will make Yan fall into civil strife for a long time.

No matter how powerful the Great Yan cavalry is, it will also fall into the predicament of conquest everywhere, and Great Yan, national strength, wealth, and military strength will be reduced in the melee, and may eventually become a second-rate vassal state, or even split in the melee.

Whenever he remembered that the plan was successful, the Yan State was in chaos, and the Chu State had time to reorganize its army, Xiong Hui couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.

However, he also knew that Emperor Yan and his courtiers were not idle people, and how serious the trauma that a night attack would bring to Yan State, if the night attack failed to save people, he would be in Yanjing City, and he would encounter retaliation.

Thinking about his own safety, Xiong Hui left the Yan Palace, and after ordering the killer assassins lurking in various parts of Yanjing to attack at midnight, he led the mission to leave Yanjing City and headed south under the starry night.

Lest the Yan Kingdom suffer serious losses, Emperor Yan was furious and chased him for thousands of miles, and he became a prisoner of the Yan Kingdom and was cut by a thousand knives.

At night, in the silent Yanjing City, on both sides of the wide street, there was a sound of cooing birds, and soon, in the alleys on both sides of the street, there were hundreds of black-clothed people sneakily.

They converged on each other, exchanged ears for a while, and dispersed in the middle of the street.

Before the operation, they had observed the movements of the guards in Yanjing City in detail, and so far, the guards in Yanjing City had not been dispatched, changed, and everything was as usual.

At this moment, these black-clothed killer assassins could hardly believe in their hearts that Yanjing City, the economic and military center of the north, was so lax in guarding.

However, after today, the most important city in the north will be burned to the ground.

However, these people have calculated and thought that their plan is flawless, but alas, they still suffer from it.

The Assassins went east, hoping to rescue the prisoners in Wanyuan Lane when the city's patrol army was attracted to the main street after the city's armaments, granaries, and government offices caught fire.

However, even if the killer was cautious and tiptoed forward on the main street, sporadic dog barking still sounded in the houses on both sides of the main street, startling the black-clothed man shuttling in the middle of the street became more and more cautious, for fear of causing the whole city to bark.

On the contrary, in the courtyards on both sides of the main street, the vicious dogs in the courtyard roared one after another, and the barking of dogs continued to expand, and in the blink of an eye, the barking of dogs in the houses on both sides of the main street in the city sounded in unison.

At this time, in the dark Yanjing City, in the courtyards on both sides of the main street, fires were lit, and the guards were vigilant about the situation outside the house.

In addition, the barking of dogs in a large area of the main street successfully attracted the attention of the guards above the city wall, and they quickly beat the drums, and the drum rumbled throughout the city.

The general defending the city, quickly led his troops, from the direction of the city wall, and quickly moved towards the main street. The patrols in charge of law and order in the city also moved quickly in the direction of the main street from all directions.

Realizing that his whereabouts were exposed, the killer did not dare to continue rushing to the granaries and armories in the city, so he quickly took out the fire fold, lit the torches in his hands, set fire to the chambers on both sides of the main street, and set fire to the chambers of commerce on both sides of the main street.

According to the implementation of the deployment, they should take the lead in attacking the official offices, granaries, and armories in Yanjing City, but unfortunately, the barking of dogs caused the patrol soldiers in the city to be vigilant, and they had to strike first.

During the day, they noticed that the big chambers of commerce on both sides of the main street had a continuous flow of customers and prosperous business, and if they were burned by the fire, Yan Guo would still suffer heavy losses.

What's more, Yanjing City is extremely prosperous, and the main street has become a prosperous area second only to Luoma City, where every inch of land is expensive, and the houses are close to each other, forming a piece in rows.

Once a certain house catches fire, the fire spreads, and if it is not extinguished in time, it will definitely cause a fire in the whole city, causing the houses on both sides of the main street to burn, which will bring very serious damage to Yanjing City.

However, the killer responsible for destroying Yanjing City neglected a very serious matter.

The main street leads directly to the palace, the buildings on both sides are very luxurious, every inch of land is gold, the people who buy houses and shops here are either rich or expensive, many people come to the princes' families, gate valves, which also includes the shops of the merchants of the Chu State.

In order to safeguard the interests of the chamber of commerce and prevent it from being damaged by competitors, even if the security in Yanjing City is excellent, there are dozens or hundreds of nurses in each chamber of commerce.

At this time, the barking of dogs in the shops and the light of the fire under the sky attracted the attention of the guards in the house, and when they rushed out of the house with steel knives and saw the assassins setting fire outside, although they did not know the identity of the killer, they were destroying their own shops and flocked to prevent the other party from committing murder.

For a while, the patrol Yan army had not yet appeared, and many of the guards in the chamber of commerce, the vicious dogs rushed out of the streets.

The family members who rushed out were quickly extinguishing the fire, and the retainers were guarding the courtyard, but they were holding steel knives and spears and fighting with killers.

In a short period of time, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and the courtyards that poured out of the shops on both sides of the main street directly intercepted these killers who were preparing to attack from both sides, making it difficult for them to fly.

The killers did not stop setting fires, and instead concentrated on dealing with the guards of the merchants who poured in on all directions.

These people are not strong, and they are completely different from well-trained killers, but there are many retainers in the various chambers of commerce, and this time, the shops were inexplicably attacked, and the members of the chambers of commerce, including the people in charge, poured out.

The Chamber of Commerce that was ignited, in addition to the courtyard to kill the arsonist thief, those chambers of commerce that did not suffer losses, the courtyard also participated in the battle, and the family members were also helping the chamber of commerce that was on fire on all sides to extinguish the fire.

These men in black appeared inexplicably, and if they were not eradicated quickly, they would definitely continue to set fires, and their own chambers of commerce would cause unnecessary losses.

The chambers of commerce are close to each other, and on weekdays, they compete with each other in business, but now they are grasshoppers on a line, if they choose to watch the fire from the other side, stand by and watch, once the fire spreads, the chambers of commerce on both sides of the main street will all be engulfed by the fire, and no one can avoid it.

Therefore, before the patrol soldiers in the city arrived, in the middle of the main street, there had been a bloody battle, and after the convergence of the various chambers of commerce and the courtyard, it formed a more than ten times numerical advantage, and under the attack of the vicious dogs in the courtyard, the killers who stayed behind completely became the turtle in the urn.
