After Tang Wen walked, Sun Yuan waited for about half an hour, and estimated that the time was almost up, before he stood up. [Full text reading]

Soon, Sun Yuan's thirty or so guards were ready. All of them were dressed in armor, holding long flintlock pistols in their hands, standing in front of Sun Yuan, their faces as tense as rocks.

Sun Yuan: "My weapon." ”

A guard handed over a handcuff and a short knife, Sun Yuan pinned it to his waist, and then put on a wide cyan Confucian robe, holding a lantern in one hand and a folding fan in the other, and walked calmly and calmly.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a group of ironclad warriors behind him, this situation would be a bit like a beautiful son walking at night with candles and going to the appointment of a beautiful woman.

After a while, before he arrived at the state office, Sun Yuan ordered the guards to stop, turned to Zhu Xuanshui and said, "Old Zhu, let's go in." ”

In the past, Sun Yuan had always called Zhu Xuanshui Zhu Qianhu, but this time he suddenly called him Lao Zhu. Zhu Xuanshui was stunned, and before he could speak, Sun Yuan then smiled and said, "Take a deep breath and calm your heart." It's going to be a terrible fight right away, and anger will affect your judgment and speed of your shots. You're worried about Ting'er, and I'm worried too. But what's the use of worrying, worrying will only make us mistaken. ”

Strange to say, seeing the smile on Sun Yuan's face, Zhu Xuanshui suddenly calmed down and nodded fiercely.

Fang Richang is as timid as a mouse, and since he regarded the Sizhou Prefecture as his own officer, he has arranged a large number of guards inside.

As soon as Sun Yuan and Zhu Xuanshui walked to the door, they saw a row of heavily armed soldiers sitting on the benches on both sides of the gate, and the gatehouse over there was also full of people.

He also knew this, so he told his musketeers to wait outside the door first, and then to start their hands inside. Otherwise, with so many soldiers rushing inside, it must be a vicious fight, which alarmed Fang Richang and let the birdman escape, and things would be troublesome.

A guard greeted Sun Yuan and Zhu Xuanshui, with an impatient face: "It turned out to be Sun Qianhu and Zhu Qianhu, it's dark this day, what are you doing here?" ”

"I have something to meet with Commander Fang, and I'm tired." Sun Yuan looked up at the sky in the west, the last trace of red glow had already set, and the entire Sizhou city was lit with lights and candles, and the state yali was even brighter. As he spoke, he shoved a silver ingot into the guard's hand and strode inside.

The guard took the silver and looked at it, but it was a tael of silver, and his heart was ecstatic. You must know that even if it is a border army in a major town on the nine sides, it is only two or three dollars of silver military salary a month, and it has to be deducted by officers on weekdays, not to mention the inferior guards. Ten taels of silver, ordinary guards have to save at least ten years.

When he came back from his ecstasy, Sun Yuan and Zhu Xuanshui had already entered the gate, and they wanted to stop him, saying that he had to inform the commander first. But when he opened his mouth, the guard closed his mouth.

Sizhou Prefecture is not big, with three courtyards before and after. The first courtyard is naturally the lobby, the second courtyard is where Yang Wei of Zhizhou works on weekdays, and the third courtyard is the back office, which is the residence of Zhizhou.

Fang Richang's line was set up in the second courtyard, and there were two guards patrolling back and forth in the courtyard outside. There were many people in the hall in front of them, as if many people were talking loudly, thinking that Fang Richang's dog thief was recruiting the officers stationed in Sizhou to discuss the matter.

Hearing Fang Richang's voice, Sun Yuan felt a little relieved, at least it showed that Ting'er's body had not been defiled by this thief.

Seeing Sun Yuan coming, the two guards' expressions changed, and they came over and asked, "It turned out to be Sun Qianhu, why are you here?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Sun Yuan suddenly stretched out his hand, pinched his throat with his left hand, and pulled out a short knife with his right hand and stabbed directly into the guard's throat, and then stirred his carotid artery and vocal cords in two.

Another guard noticed that something was wrong and opened his mouth to scream, but Sun Yuan drew a short knife and stabbed the man's heart in an instant.

The poor guard didn't even have time to scream, and fell to the ground.

For the sake of insurance, Sun Yuan stretched out his foot and stepped directly on his mouth.

At this time, the enemy whose neck had been cut off before fell softly, and the carotid artery blood mark was more than a meter high.

Zhu Xuanshui didn't expect Sun Yuan to say that he would do it, cutting his hands and feet so quickly, killing two people in one face, and not making a trace of movement. Look at the green shirt on his body, so clean that he didn't splash a drop of blood.

Although Zhu Xuanshui is also an old spy leader who is accustomed to seeing wind and rain, he was still shocked by Sun Yuan's murderous methods, and stood there in a daze, unable to move for a long time: good means, so ruthless, this thief must be a character in the future......

Feeling the twitching on the person under his feet gradually weakening, Sun Yuan withdrew his feet.

He smiled and nodded at Zhu Xuanshui, then retracted the short knife into its sheath, and calmly walked towards the steps with the hem of his robe.

Only then did Zhu Xuanshui come to his senses and strode to follow.

The voices in the hall grew louder and clearer.

An officer's voice came: "Commander Fang, Commander Fang, we will withdraw from Sizhou at dawn tomorrow, we have worked hard for the past few days, why can't we leave empty-handed?" I was going to ask Yang Zhizhou for some money and food again, but this Sun Yuanduan was so hateful that he opened the treasury in advance and went to the city to work in the city. Now, Mr. Yang is already a poor man, and he can't even take out a penny. According to his subordinates, he simply led the army to rob the rich families in the city first. Anyway, tomorrow the thief army will break the city, and when the time comes, won't the money they have in hand be cheap for the thieves. ”

"Yes, grab a handful first, let's guard Sizhou for a few days, there are many losses in the soldiers, it is impossible to ask me to wait for nothing, right?" The other officers also shouted loudly.

"Shut up!" Fang Richang shouted angrily: "This thief army may enter the city at any time, if you go to rob the rich, there will be a big movement, and it will inevitably alarm Gao Yingxiang." When the time comes, if he comes to pick up the bargain, we won't be able to run away. Now, this Sizhou city has been besieged by the surname Gao, and when he breaks through the city, he doesn't know how many brothers will die. If we rob Sizhou again, we will be tired and half dead, how can we still have the strength to escape at dawn? ”

"But, Commander, we're used to it. Now that I finally encountered a war, I have a chance to grow my hair, so I missed it, but I don't know when I will wait for the rice next time? ”

"Yes, yes, we are not greedy, just grab a few big businesses at will. Listening to the report from my spies, Sun Yuan's birdman raised the treasury silver, found four major merchants, and exchanged all the 20,000 taels of silver. Now, it's time for us to grab it. ”

"Yes, yes, the commander, the action is fast, it can be done in half an hour, give the order!"

"Give the order!"

The silver was white, and the eyes were black, and all the officers cried out with a loud voice.

"Sure enough, I want to abandon the city and flee, it seems that this Fang Richang's moral standard is not much higher than my Sun Yuan." Sun Yuan sneered in his heart, stretched out his hand, and knocked lightly on the door a few times.
