Text Section 307 The yellow finch is behind
Cheng Hehai, the Commander of the Criminal Division of the Heavenly Prison Academy, observed the surroundings with extreme caution. Tonight's patrol guards each patrol a pillar of incense, which means that this assassination operation only has a pillar of incense before and after. Otherwise, they will be besieged by soldiers and horses in the city, and they can only fight to the death. After all, this operation was secretly ordered by the governor Zhang Zhao, and even Delong didn't know about it. Besides, once Deguang knew that the Heavenly Prison Court was going to blame others, I was afraid that he would not spare them.
Azhu hid under the eaves, monitoring the movement outside the back wall. At this moment, several nightingales were heard in the distance. Ah Zhu's heart moved, she knew that at this time, the shadow who was in charge of monitoring outside the west wall had passed the news, informing Ah Zhu that they had also discovered that someone was about to infiltrate the inn. Azhu immediately took out a leaf, put it in his mouth and blew it a few times. Ah Zhu told his brothers outside the western wall that there was no need to alarm the Assassins for the time being, and that they were just responsible for surveillance.
Outside the backyard wall, Cheng Hehai and the others hid in the shadows, patiently waiting for the patrol guards to pass by again. When Cheng Hehai heard the birdsong in the dark night, he couldn't help but glance at Azhu's hidden place vigilantly. Cheng Hehai heard that this was a man-made contact, but he felt that as long as they were not officers and soldiers, they should all come to assassinate Shangguan Xuanwu. For Cheng and Hai, the more assassins come, the better. He leaked the news just to get more people on board. Cheng Hehai didn't think that this was the manpower of Lidu City, because the people of Lidu City were all by his side. And how many people and horses came secretly in the capital city, Cheng Hehai also knew it.
After a while, a group of patrol officers and soldiers casually walked past the rear wall. As soon as this group of officers and soldiers turned the corner, Cheng Hehai called out softly, and more than a dozen detectives from the Heavenly Prison Court quickly approached him.
"Up, the third room in the courtyard behind the target, everyone must be careful." Cheng Hehai said in a low voice.
Everyone responded softly, and Cheng Hehai waved his hand and took the lead in rushing towards the wall. With the help of the impulse and the sea foot pedaling on the wall, rubbed twice on the courtyard wall. Others, some with two people and some with three people, went up to the courtyard wall one after another. Cheng Hehai watched cautiously, and with a wave of his hand, everyone went directly to the roof of the side room from the wall. With the help of darkness, he quietly touched the side courtyard.
Ah Zhu watched all this quietly, Cheng Hehai and his men disappeared into the post house, and more than a dozen of Ah Zhu's scouts also walked out. Ah Zhu's heart was cold, it seemed that these dozen or so people in Chengyang Mansion had problems. Azhu was furious in her heart, but she didn't show up right away. After all, these scouts recruited by Chengyang Mansion are all Lian Jiazi, and Azhu doesn't dare to be careless. As for the dozen or so assassins, for the eighteen guards who had already been ambushed, they didn't need support at all.
Ah Zhu quietly retreated, going to meet the West Silhouette Shadower. The main task tonight is to kill the assassins, and these dozen or so people can't run away anyway, and it's not too late to take them down after killing the assassins.
In the courtyard of the post house, whether it is the main courtyard or the side courtyard, the lights are turned off at this time and it is pitch black. Zhang Ruming did not live in the No. 1 room of Tianzi in the main courtyard, nor in the No. 3 room of Xuanzi in the side courtyard. At this time, Zhang Ruming was hiding in the room of the eighteen guards, cautiously paying attention to the movements outside. By his side, only five personal soldiers were arranged for personal protection. Xiang Tian warned Zhang Ruming that as long as they remained silent, no one would pay attention here. Unless they took the initiative to show up, no one knew that Zhang Ruming was hiding here.
The ugly hour is the time when people are most tired. In the side courtyard, Gu Fan, who was guarding carefully, moved his ears and heard a strange sound from the roof. Gu Fan's heart was like a mirror, he knew that someone had sneaked over. Gu Fan deliberately pretended to be drowsy, and leaned against the pillar listlessly to nap.
Several black shadows flew down from the rooftop, landing on the ground like a civet. Cheng Hehai looked around cautiously and found that there was no one else on the side of the guest room except for Gu Fan, who was not far away. At the entrance of the side courtyard, there were a few guards, hooking their heads as if they were asleep.
Cheng Hehai was overjoyed in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, he led everyone to the Xuanzi No. 3 room. Cheng Hehai opened the door with a short blade, and with a wave of his hand, the two Fu Tan cats behind him entered the room.
Cheng Hehai was very cautious, he did not enter the room, but was responsible for answering outside. While Cheng Hehai was waiting, he only heard two muffled sounds of 'poof' coming from the room, as if it was the sound of a sharp weapon piercing into his body.
After five breaths, Cheng Hehai couldn't help but whisper inside, "How is it, have you succeeded?" ”
As soon as the door opened, a black shadow appeared in front of Cheng Hehai, "It's done." ”
Cheng Hehai's heart was excited, and he was just about to give the order to evacuate. Suddenly, the long knife in the black shadow's hand slashed down. Cheng Hehai was shocked in his heart and hurriedly raised his knife to greet him.
"It's not good, there's an ambush, retreat!" Cheng Hehai blocked the attack, and seeing the long knife in the other party's hand under the moonlight, Cheng Hehai immediately understood what was happening.
"Since you're here, do you want to leave?"
Gu Fan, who was still napping, dodged and blocked the other party's way. Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen figures surrounded Cheng Hehai and the others.
Cheng Hehai was ruthless in his heart, and shouted loudly, "Brothers, fight with them, kill them!" ”
Cheng Hehai gave an order, and the government spies he led immediately rushed towards Gu Fan and the others, but Cheng Hehai himself rushed to the roof with a kick on the pillars. He knew that if these people wanted to confront the Eighteen Guards, it would be in vain. There are no vain soldiers under the fame, and the eighteen guards are all warriors trained from the pile of the dead. If they could be repelled so easily, they would not have entered and exited from the 100,000 troops of Western Vietnam.
It wasn't so easy for Cheng Hehai to leave, and Liu Xi's bow and crossbow shot out with a whizz. Cheng Hehai's arm had just reached the eaves, and with a pop, the crossbow shot into his left arm. Cheng Hehai gritted his teeth in pain, but still turned over on the roof. But what greeted him was the long knife in Gree's hand. At this time, a net had been laid in the side courtyard, and it was not so easy for Cheng Hehai to leave.
Seeing the long knife coming, Cheng Hehai hurriedly raised his knife to meet him, but was shocked by Ge Li's knife and fell down. In the courtyard, Xiang Tianjin Rushi and others besieged it, and the screams in the courtyard were continuous. In less than thirty breaths, all the people led by Cheng Hehai were annihilated. Even he himself was forced into a corner. If he hadn't wanted to catch a live mouth, Cheng Hehai would have been killed by everyone.
"It seems that you are the leader, and surrendering now may be able to spare you from dying." Xiang Tian looked at Cheng Hehai and said with a sneer.
Cheng Hehai's arms trembled, and in the face of the siege of the eighteen guards, he knew that he had no chance to escape at all.
Cheng He bit the Hague pass, "Lao Tzu will meet you today in the capital city of eighteen beheadings, and you have the ability to fight with Lao Tzu." ”
Gu Fan snorted, "Grandpa doesn't have the time, Liu Xige Li, take down this person." ”
Seeing the other party raise a knife and step forward, Cheng Hehai knew that he would not be able to escape tonight. In this case, just spell out one and count one, at least make enough money. Cheng Hehai swung his knife and rushed forward and slashed at Liu Xi. This time, Cheng Hehai didn't defend at all, and let the opponent's long knife cut down.
Don't look at Cheng Hehai as the Admiral of the Criminal Division of the Prison Heaven Academy, but in the eyes of the eighteen guards, it is not enough. Especially the combined attack technique of the eighteen guards, even the old ghost Huai is difficult to dodge, let alone him. Seeing Cheng Hehai's frantic rush, Liu Xi had no choice but to retreat back to avoid the opponent's attack. Jin Rushi beside Liu Xi instinctively slashed with a horizontal knife, and with a poof, half of Cheng Hehai's arms were cut off. As soon as he let out a scream, Ge Li made up for it, ending Cheng Hehai's life.
Gu Fan sighed secretly, since the person is dead, it is useless to say anything. Gu Fan looked up and looked around, he knew that there would never be only this wave of people tonight.
On the eaves on the west side, more than a dozen black shadows watched the killing in the courtyard, but they did not come down to answer. Seeing that the courtyard was so heavily guarded, the leader quietly waved his hand, and everyone began to retreat. Even if there was an ambush in the courtyard, they knew that they would not be able to complete the assassination mission tonight, so they had to evacuate.
"Since you're here, let's all stay."
In the darkness, a cold voice came. Azhu and his shadow also appeared on the west side of the house. Everyone glanced at each other, and without saying a word, they immediately rushed to their respective targets.
Gu Fan heard the voice and hurriedly said, "It's Commander Azhu, hurry, go and answer." ”
The eighteen guards climbed onto the roof, but in the darkness it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and they didn't know who to kill for a while. And the night suit worn by the Shadow is similar to that worn by the killer.
Gu Fan and the others were in distress, so they listened to Azhu shouting loudly.
"Gu Fan, you block the back road, and anyone who escapes will be killed. Leave these guys to us. ”
"Okay, Commander Azhu, be careful." After Gu Fan finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, everyone guarded a corner and surrounded the battle group.
The patrol guards outside the official post heard the shouting of killing, and immediately blew the warning whistle. After a while, a group of people rushed over, and the water surrounding the outside of the post house was impassable.
Azhu's side also ended the battle quickly, Gu Fan and the others said that they would not help, but after seeing the situation clearly, they still raised their knives and slashed. Those who were killed this time were all good soldiers sent by the West Vietnamese side. And the assassins in Nanping have never appeared. Only two of them came on this trip, and after entering with the Xiyue killers, they disappeared incognito.
Outside the gate of the post house, a general shouted loudly, "Open the door, I am Huo Qiyu, the chief soldier of the city defense, what happened inside?" Hurry up and open the door, or slam the door and rush in. ”
As soon as the door opened, Gu Fan walked out, "This general, there is nothing in it, it was me who waited for the late night training and disturbed you, sorry." ”
"Late-night training? Hmph, do you think General Ben will believe it? Take down all these people for me, and I can't let any of them go. ”
Huo Qiyu, the chief soldier of the city defense, said, and the guards raised their blades and were about to break inside, when they heard a lazy voice say.
"You things that don't have long eyes have disturbed Lao Tzu's good dreams, aren't you afraid of being punished by God? Who gave you such a bold son, believe it or not, Lao Tzu, go to the palace and ask for an understanding. ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Ruming walked out step by step under the protection of everyone. Huo Qiyu, the chief soldier of the city defense, saw that Shangguan Heavenly Master was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with his fists clenched.
"Lord Shangguan, I heard the shouting of killing in the post house just now, and I am worried about the safety of my lord, so I have come to protect you."
Zhang Ruming nodded arrogantly, "This general, with my eighteen slashes in the capital city guarding here, no one can hurt this heavenly master." Everyone, please come back. ”
Huo Qiyu, the chief soldier of the city defense, said in his heart that if it wasn't for the order from the peak, Lao Tzu would not have bothered to come to the army. Since people don't appreciate it, they can't wait to go back and rest.
The soldiers and horses withdrew, the gate of the post house was closed again, and everyone returned to the main courtyard. Seeing Ah Zhu, Zhang Ruming suddenly seemed to be a different person, with a flattering smile on his face.
"Zhu Zhu, I didn't hurt you. Come, my husband will check it for you. ”
In front of everyone, Ah Zhu's face turned red when he was said, "Don't make trouble, let's get down to business first." ”
"What's the right thing, whether you're hurt or not is the biggest serious thing." Zhang Ruming said seriously.
Ah Zhu's heart was as sweet as eating honey, but on the surface, he glanced at him, "I'll be angry if I make trouble again." ”
"Okay, let's get down to business first, ma'am." Zhang Ruming bowed his waist and stood beside Azhu with a flattering face.
Ah Zhu looked at Gu Fan Xiangtian and the others embarrassedly, and asked Xiangtian, "Commander Azhu, how is it, is there anyone else?" ”
"It should have been cleaned up, I searched around just now, and I didn't find anything wrong."
"Okay, clean up this group of people, I guess no one will harass adults anymore."
Ah Zhu looked at everyone and said solemnly, "I found ghosts in the army tonight, I'm afraid there is more than one." Those practitioners recruited by Chengyang Mansion were in collusion with tonight's assassins. It seems that it will have to be interrogated. ”
Xiang Tian said, "Commander Azhu, the assassin was able to accurately locate the third room of Xuanzi, which means that there is indeed a problem among the scouts. It seems that the military advisor expected it well, and the news from the last time was probably leaked by them. ”
Gu Fan followed and said, "Do you want us to go out and take them all down first?" ”
Zhang Ruming hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes, let Gu Fan go to the sky and them, and all of them will be arrested here for interrogation." Zhu Zhu, don't be busy, stay with your husband here. ”
Ah Zhu glanced at Zhang Ruming and nodded to Gu Fan, "It's okay, I'll summon them over, these people don't know that they have been exposed, so I will take them all down in the side courtyard." Perhaps, the group of people recruited by Chengyang Mansion will have to be re-checked. ”
A few people briefly discussed, and walked to the back side courtyard. Zhang Ruming wanted to follow, but was scolded by Azhu. She was afraid that these dogs would jump off the wall in a hurry, what if she accidentally injured Zhang Ruming. Or wait until all of them are taken, and then let him go over to accompany the trial.
Zhang Ruming and more than a dozen entourages stayed in the main courtyard, anxiously waiting for news from the side courtyard. At this moment, the Nanping killer who had been hiding quietly touched over.
Since Hengfeng received the news, they did not consider the news to be reliable. But the shopkeeper of the carriage and horse shop still released the news, this Nanping secret agent who had been hidden in Great Xia for many years, wanted to use other people to find out the real hiding place of Shangguan Xuanwu. On their Nanping side, they did not use the military experts sent by Mo Kun, and the shopkeeper of the carriage and horse shop sent two good men in the rivers and lakes who had followed him for many years. The shopkeeper of the carriage and horse shop used a trick to catch the cicada and yellow finch behind, and even Azhu thought it was cleared, but he didn't expect that there were two killers hidden in the secret.
In the hall, Zhang Ruming and more than a dozen entourages anxiously waited for news from the backyard. In the darkness, a killer unhooked a special short bow from his back and mounted a sharp arrow with a blackened arrow. The bow and arrow were aimed at Zhang Ruming, and the killer's arms competed, and with a 'whoosh', the sharp arrow shot at Zhang Ruming, who was restless.
