The three of them bypassed the latrine, and then, Fan Ke took the lead, Fan Xuan was in the center, and the guard was holding a knife to retreat.

There is only a narrow road under his feet to walk, so that he can no longer hold Fan Xuan, and at his feet is a huge night incense pond, although it is cold, but the taste is still touching, and the stench that rises to the sky is so smoky that people's eyes can't open it.

Fan Xuan and the others didn't cover their mouths and noses, no matter how bad the smell was, and they didn't have the imminent worry about their lives, where could they take care of these small sections.

A few people took advantage of the faint light in the distance, carefully walking on the edge of the Yexiang Pond, there was snow under their feet, wet and slippery, and they might fall into the Yexiang Pond if they were not careful.

Bypassing the night incense pond, there is finally a large flat land, there are messy barrel marks on the ground, and some dry or undried night incense stands out impressively, and next to the open space is a tall courtyard wall, and a mottled and old door.

Those men who collect night incense are the ones who enter through this door between midnight and midnight, and pick up the night incense, and the barrel prints pressed on the ground and the night incense left behind are the traces of their labor.

Usually there is a special person in charge of this door in the Fan Mansion, and when the time is about the same, the door will be opened, and the door will be closed after dawn.

The hour had not yet come, but there was a locked brass latch on the door.

At the moment of escaping, there is no need to say more, the two Fan brothers flashed to the side, the guards stepped forward with knives, and slashed hard, and in the sound of "bang", the copper lock fell to the ground.

Fan Ke was quick and opened the door, the faint light in the courtyard could not shine outside at all, it was dark outside the door, Fan Ke was about to go out first, Fan Xuan suddenly had an alarm in his heart, "Wait a minute, is there a fire fold?" ”

"Can't you see it, big brother, it's okay, it's all bluestone pavement outside, I don't think there will be any stumbling blocks, and you can see it after getting used to it for a while." Fan Ke was impatient, grabbing Fan Xuan's sleeve and about to rush out, when is it, escape is the most important thing.

"Smack!" There were quite a few things on the guards, and as the brothers were talking, they were already on fire, and although the light was faint, it shone from inside the door to outside.

"Sss

Behind the pikemen, there were figures, all of them with bows and arrows, aimed at them.

"Ouch, aren't these two Fan masters, I'm glad I will." Someone laughed in the crowd, "Tsk, I originally thought that staying here was destined not to have much credit, but I didn't expect to catch two big fish." ”

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Fan Xuan calmed down, dusted off his clothes, and restored the demeanor of the Fan family.

It's just that what he wears is the armor of ordinary soldiers, and Fan Xuan and Fan Ke have never dealt with each other before.

These soldiers are so cautious outside, but they are not in a hurry to rush in and rob the property of the house, it seems that the plan is not small.

"This... General, polite. Fan Xuan thought for a while, but still put a high hat on this person, arched his hands, and gave a salute calmly, "I don't know the general's name, how to call it?" ”

"It's just a sentry officer, the general doesn't dare to be a general, Master Fan still don't give me such a big official." The soldier who claimed to be a sentry replied that this person, like Zou Qun, was stationed in Zhangjiakou, and he also pulled a group of brothers to form a mercenary group and went to Dalintai to make a living.

Seeing that the other party did not resist his words softly or hard, Fan Xuan was not entangled here, and asked instead, "The Fan family has always been law-abiding, why do you see each other tonight, I don't know which adult your army is, can you let me meet this adult?" ”

"Hehe, want to find my peak to clean me up?" The soldier smiled and said, "Master Fan, don't be delusional, you know that they have a good relationship with you, these big people, what General Liu and Zhao Guerrilla, none of them will appear, I am the biggest here tonight!" ”

At this point, the soldier gave a thumbs-up to his right hand and pointed at himself.

When Fan Xuan heard this, his heart sank, none of the generals would appear? Could it be that the soldiers are making a mutiny? If that's the case, it's terrible, no matter how big people come out, they won't be able to suppress these mutinous soldiers.

"Hehe, this brother, alone with someone to stay here, thanks to the panic, it's very lively inside, presumably your comrades are making a fortune, or... Let us go, and you can go in and go around, so you won't come in vain. ”

Fan Ke also thought of the possibility of mutiny, so he simply used the property in his mansion as bait and compared the soldiers in the mansion with them, wanting to tempt these people to lose the rules of the army and enter the mansion to make a fortune.

Sure enough, he saw a few soldiers with obvious intentions on their faces, but what made Fan Ke strange was that these people only pursed their mouths and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva before they calmed down, as if the temptation of those things in the house was not enough to make them lose control.

"Encourage us to rob our own things, Master Fan is really well-intentioned, admire!" Bing Tou said, "It's just that although the things in it are valuable, compared to the top ten, it's nothing, isn't it, brothers." ”

The surrounding soldiers responded a few times scatteredly, although they were not very unified and did not have much momentum, but Fan Ke could see that these people were very determined.

Top 10? What the heck?

The top ten are naturally the top ten mercenary groups, in order to restrain these unruly mercenaries, Sun Kewang had to link their behavior to the top ten mercenary groups.

In the generals' families, they were not allowed to kill on a large scale, but in the mansions of the eight grain merchants, they were not allowed to hide their belongings without permission, and all the grain and goods of the eight families, as well as gold, silver, jewelry, and other property, must be kept in a unified manner and used for their own use.

Of course, no matter how strict the management is, it is difficult to avoid those soldiers who invade the mansion from hiding money privately, which the soldiers who stayed here also know very well, but this little cheapness is not worth mentioning compared to the benefits after becoming the top ten mercenary groups, so he and other brothers can bear it.

And tonight's operation is led by mercenaries, and they can endure without breaking the precepts, and there is not much problem in restraining other ordinary soldiers.

"Okay, two Master Fan, and this benevolent brother," the soldier looked at the guard, "I won't talk to you anymore, I'll go all the way, and I'll send you on your way." ”

With that, he waved down with one hand, "Up!" ”

The pikemen lined up in front of the head of the soldiers, with a "boom", they all took a step, shouted loudly in their mouths, and sent their hands forward, under the reflection of the fire fold, the spear head flashed with cold light, and went straight to Fan Xuan and the three of them.

At the same moment, the archers behind the head of the soldiers drew their longbows again, and the tips of their arrows were aimed at the three men.
