Chapter 473: Who is the Assassin
Because Liang Mo suddenly came to the Fenhe Post to warn, the atmosphere in the post station immediately became tense. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Duan Da's responsibility was to immediately convene an emergency meeting with the pipes and bands of Yu Xiaoren, Li Hun, Pei Qiantong and other hussar battalions to strengthen the guardian force of the Fenhe Station. When he heard from Yu Xiaoren and Li Hun that Liang Mo was strong in martial arts and rarely encountered opponents inside and outside Chang'an, he insisted that Liang Mo live with him in the B upper room between the two upper rooms A and C where Yang Guang lived, so that he could deal with the unexpected at any time.
Yang Guang was also taken aback when he heard the news that someone wanted to rob and kill the photo in the middle of the road, but then he saw that Duan Da urgently summoned the generals of the hussar battalion to strictly deploy the defense, and strengthened the protection of the inside and outside of the Fenhe Station. You must know that if you break through the layers of protection of the Fenzhou government army and the hussar battalion you lead, and rush into this post station, you must at least organize a team of thousands of soldiers and horses, who will have such a strong strength?
However, the source of this news attracted Yang Guang's special attention: according to Liang Mo, the fifth brother Yang Liang received the news shortly after leaving Beijing, claiming that someone wanted to rob and kill the picture in the middle of the road, so most of the people behind this assassination were in Chang'an City. In this way, it ruled out the possibility that the two khans of the Western Turks, Apo and Datou, the biggest opponents of the photograph, sent people to enter the pass to rob and kill the photograph, so as to prevent him from going to Chang'an to meet his father Yang Jian. And those who were eager to stop the Eastern Turks from reconciling with the Great Sui and the Great Sui Army, and had the strength to carry out the assassination operation, were the only ones left by the Nanchen family, who ruled the Sui Dynasty by dividing the river.
Recalling what he had seen and heard on the way to Dongdu five years ago, Yang Guang was even more convinced: If the news reported by Liang Mo was true, then his old rival, Guan Zizai, the leader of Nanchen's secret spy agency "Wild Goose's Nest," was very likely to be the real mastermind of the assassination.
Guan Zizai's purpose of sending people to rob and kill the picture in the middle of the road to prevent him from going to Chang'an to meet the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui Dynasty is also very clear: it is to make a big fuss about the assassination of the Great Khan of the Eastern Turks in the Sui Territory, and re-provoke the mutual attack between the Eastern Turks and the Sui Dynasty, so that Nan Chen can reap the benefits of the fisherman.
The more Yang Guang thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and he couldn't help but get excited: Guan Zizai was going to send someone to assassinate the photograph, and he couldn't take the opportunity to capture the assassin he sent alive, and pull out this hidden old lonely fox by touching the melons?
"Duan Da, General Liang, you two must remember that if someone really dares to assassinate him along the way, you must try to capture the assassin alive, and you must not hurt his life." Yang Guang had the idea of arresting Guan Zizi in his heart, and gave Duan Da and Liang Mo an order to arrest the living mouth.
Yang Guang went upstairs to go back to the room to go to bed for nearly three o'clock, according to Duan Da's arrangement, Zhang Xutuo led fifty elite hussar battalion sergeants to be responsible for night patrols in the Fenhe Post Courtyard, and Duan Da and Liang Mo, together with the two chief guards around the photo, a total of four people lived in the upper room of the second floor, as the personal escort of Yang Guang and the two of them, so as to respond to accidents at any time.
As soon as Yang Guang went up to the second floor of the Fenhe Station, Duan Da refused the request of anyone, including Li Quan, the assassin of Fenzhou, and Yi Cheng Gou Si'er, to go up to the second floor again, so as to ensure that no one was allowed to approach Yang Guang and the two photographers except for the four personal guards who lived in the upper room of the B number.
Li Quan also vaguely heard some news about someone wanting to rob and kill the photo in the middle of the road, and wanted to live in the post station in person tonight to serve as a guard for Yang Guang and the photo, but seeing that Duan Da made a cold appearance to himself and Gou Si'er, not only did he not allow himself to go upstairs to visit Yang Guang, but he didn't even seem to reserve a place for himself to rest in the post station. In desperation, Li Quan had no choice but to tell Gou Si'er a few words, and then went to rest in the barracks outside the post station.
At the end of the night, Li Quancai lay down in the military tent outside the Fenhe Station, and fell asleep in a daze, and suddenly heard someone outside the tent shouting: "Oh no, there is a fire on the surface of the Fenhe River." ā
Li Quan was startled, picked up the saber placed beside him, and rushed out of the military tent.
When he came to the outside of the military tent, he saw that many sergeants in the barracks had woken up from their sleep, gathered outside the military tent in twos and threes, looking at the direction of the Fen River, talking about something.
Li Quan immediately looked at the surface of the Fen River, but saw that more than a dozen fires were burning on the not very wide river, and they were drifting downstream in the direction of the river.
"Scout, find out who set the fire on the river? The others listened to my order, quickly returned to the tent and stopped dressing, with a team of fifty people, divided into ten teams, and patrolled around the Fenhe Station tonight, don't sleep! Li Quan saw that the dozen or so fires were really a little strange, for fear that something would happen to Yang Guang and his entourage, who stayed in the Fenhe Station, and hurriedly ordered the sergeant in the battalion loudly.
Just as the hundreds of sergeants under Li Quan's command obeyed his orders and turned back to the tents to get dressed and draped, suddenly, in the dark night, countless rockets shot towards the military camp of the Fenzhou Prefecture Army stationed outside the Fenhe Station, and in the blink of an eye, several camp tents were ignited, and some of the sergeants who had not had time to get dressed and escape in the camp tents were also burned by the fire, rolling on the spot and letting out a wail.
Li Quan served as a Taishou in Zhao County on the northern border for many years, and he was also a battle-hardened general, seeing someone sneaking into the military camp, he couldn't think much about it in his eagerness, and hurriedly ordered some sergeants to extinguish the fire in the camp and stick to the barracks.
At the same time as the military camp outside the Fenhe Post was attacked, more than a dozen black shadows rushed into the courtyard of the post station one after another.
Zhang Xutuo, who was leading the sergeants on duty at night in the courtyard of the post station, was the first to find that someone had rushed into the courtyard, waved his knife and shouted, and led the sergeants to rush over against the dozen or so black shadows, and fought in one place with these uninvited guests who broke into the courtyard in the Fenhe Post Courtyard.
Duan Da in the upper room on the second floor of the post station heard the movement in the courtyard downstairs, and hurriedly stepped out of the room with a sword in his hand to check what was going on, but unexpectedly, as soon as the front foot stepped out of the door, he saw a little cold light coming straight to the door in front of him, Duan Da hurriedly shrank his head and hid his neck, and he could avoid a sword in front of him, but he was not afraid that the person who took advantage of the chaos to come upstairs flew up and kicked Duan Da's heart, Duan Da screamed in pain, threw the knife, and the whole person flew straight back to the room, and smashed heavily on a few cases in the room.
Rao is heavy kick, Duan Da still used all his strength when he fell to the ground, and shouted loudly: "General Liang, go and protect the prince, there are assassins!" ā
