On the 24th day of the tenth month of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Beijing City, Zishi. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I don't know when, the clouds in the sky have obscured the crooked moon, the starlight also seems a little dim, and the whole city of Beijing seems to be completely shrouded in darkness.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, it is a good time to kill people and set fires, and at this time, the people of Jinyi Wei have climbed over the high courtyard wall of the target house, and the two of them jumped into the courtyard from the high wall of nearly two feet without making any sound. At the same time as they landed, the two of them quickly rolled to both sides, and the crossbow machine in their hands pointed forward, once there was an ambush here, they could counterattack at the first time.

This series of movements is extremely smooth and skillful, which is exactly what Yang Zhen painstakingly taught.

With the continuous improvement of his identity, as the governor of Jinyiwei, it is naturally impossible for him to always take the lead in taking risks, even if this time the matter is extremely serious, for the sake of the overall situation of Jinyiwei, it is impossible for him to take action personally. And this, it is necessary to have a group of subordinates who are good at fighting and can use it.

Fortunately, after several years of hard work, many talents who were proficient in various combat methods had emerged from those subordinates, and they were all soldiers trained by Yang Zhen to the standards of hundreds of years later, far beyond this era. Although these people do not have the ability to come and go as high as the people in the rivers and lakes, they are not inferior in terms of killing skills, and this kind of night raid is their specialty.

Because of this, Yang Zhen put a large number of people on the periphery, and only led fifty people to raid the lair here. He knew very well that even if the White Lotus Sect died and did not stiffen, it was still impossible for its strength to exert too much after only a few years of work, and he was an absolute elite leader, coupled with a surprise attack at night, he would definitely be able to fall in one fell swoop. The most important thing to watch out for now is that they will find an opportunity to get out, so the key is to arrange a few blockades.

But this raid was still a little unexpected for Yang Zhen, and the two good men entered the courtyard vigilantly, but they didn't encounter any ambush, and they didn't even see half of the people nearby.

After confirming that they were safe, they pressed the doubts in their minds for the time being, quickly went over and opened the side door of the house, and let their companions enter quickly.

"They weren't even prepared? This is not in line with the consistent practice of the White Lotus Sect. If they had to shrink their forces because of their lack of strength, they would have deployed manpower in these important positions. Could it be that ......" A bad premonition arose from Yang Zhen's heart.

But now, he could not have any other thoughts, so he left five men to defend the retreat, and the others, under his command, quickly and lightly went straight to cover up the whole of the house.

The order has been issued, as long as it is the people in this house, but there is resistance, kill on the spot, and no one will be left!

But along the way, the soldiers were bloodless, not because the enemy abandoned their weapons and surrendered when they saw the Jinyi Guards suddenly appear, but because they had never encountered even a living person.

All the houses were empty, and such a mansion with five or six entrances was actually empty, not to mention any people from the White Lotus Sect, even a servant or a husband who kept vigil at night. To put it more clearly, this house is clearly an abandoned mansion!

Confirming this speculation, there are also a lot of thorns, firewood, and other things placed against the walls of the courtyards along the way, who would make their home so messy?

When he came to the last inner house without encountering any situation all the way, Yang Zhen's heart had sunk to the bottom - this result was what he was most afraid of encountering, because there were only two explanations for such a situation:

First, that Qu Changsheng lied, and this was not where the White Lotus Sect's lair was;

Second, although Qu Changsheng didn't lie, the matter of his being taken down by the Jinyi Guard was already known to the White Lotus Sect, and they left immediately.

No matter which one is true, it is unacceptable to Yang Zhen. Because in this way, the situation of the two women will be even more critical, and there are only so many clues left in his hand, plus what Qu Changsheng said is that the other party will ...... them today A fine layer of cold sweat suddenly surged onto Yang Zhen's forehead.

Now the only hope is to enter the courtyard for the last time. At this time, several brocade guards had already rushed into the courtyard, and then they slammed open the closed doors with their shoulders heavy.

An exclamation suddenly came out of a certain house, which made Yang Zhen and the other brothers' spirits suddenly lift, at least it was not completely fruitless here, as long as one person could be taken, they would be able to find more clues.

When Yang Zhen walked into the wing, the brocade guards who had broken into the house before had already tied up a man with a short figure. At this moment, he was looking at these uninvited guests with horror, and only after a while did he say, "Who are you, and why are you trespassing on people's houses?" ”

"Houses? I'm afraid this empty mansion can't be summed up by a private house, right? Yang Zhen stared at the other party with a smile: "And your arrangement here, will anyone put these things in their own home?" ”

Around this room, there are pots and jars of all ages, which have been seen just now, and they are actually filled with fire oil and a small amount of gunpowder. As for the purpose of doing this, Yang Zhen quickly figured it out. As long as he leads someone to make a disturbance, or fails to restrain him in the first place, then this person will set fire to the house and even the entire courtyard.

Thinking about it again, the thorns and firewood that I saw before were all set up to ignite the fire so that the whole courtyard could burn quickly. Fortunately, the Jinyi Guard acted quickly enough to take down this person before he set it on fire, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable!

Before this guy could come to his senses, Yang Zhen already had an extra dagger in his hand and slammed it on the other party's throat: "Say, where are your other stronghold nests?" What other conspiracies do others have? ”

The pressure of falling back again and the pressure of time has made Yang Zhen very angry, and he has no patience for any interrogation.

In the face of his anger and threats, the man only smiled contemptuously: "The matter has come to this, it is a dream to want me to betray the Holy Sect. All you can get, just ...... My corpse! While saying this, his neck actually jerked forward, and he actually hit his throat directly on Yang Zhen's dagger.

Under normal circumstances, Yang Zhen's reaction would be enough to deal with this change. But now, because of the agitation of his mind, his judgment and reaction were a little slower than usual, until the fellow's throat was pierced by a dagger, he suddenly woke up and quickly withdrew his hand. But it was too late, and when a dagger pierced a vulnerable point like a throat, there was no room for recovery.

Blood poured out of his wound, and although it was full of pain, the man still showed a smug and happy smile, staring at Yang Zhen who was a little surprised in front of him. Although he was speechless, it was clear from his expression that he only wanted to say one sentence - I still won!

Seeing that the only clue in front of him died like this, Yang Zhen was stunned for a long time and couldn't speak. At this moment, his whole mind was blank, he had never encountered such a situation, all the clues were broken, could he really not save his two wives?

In fact, no matter how difficult the opponent is, no matter how ingenious the conspiracy, Yang Zhen will not have such a discouraged thought. But caring is chaotic, and when things involve Zhang Jingyun and Luo Yueying, the two women he cares about the most, everything is completely different.

This is the key to Yang Zhen's passivity everywhere today, and now he is even more in a Jedi. After all, he is a human being, not a god, and a human being has his own weaknesses, and the two women are his biggest weaknesses. From this point of view, the White Lotus Sect did not start after having an in-depth understanding of him this time.

Yang Zhen's face kept changing, from red to blue, and from green to white, and the muscles on his face were constantly twisting and trembling because of this, all of which was naturally worried in the eyes of the other brothers.

After enduring it for a while, someone finally couldn't help but say, "Governor ......"

He wanted to persuade a few words, but was interrupted by Yang Zhen raising his hand: "I want to be quiet, you guys go out for a while." ”

Although Yang Zhen looked uneasy, his prestige would not be reduced a little because of this, and everyone immediately withdrew according to his words.

And after they went out, Yang Zhen suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself fiercely: "Yang Zhen, be sober!" Isn't it just that you have encountered some setbacks, and you haven't encountered such a situation, why are you discouraged? Yue Ying and Jing Yun are still waiting for you to save them. You have been able to play with the White Lotus Sect again and again before, but this time you can only be led by the nose by them?

"Since they've done so much, they're going to show their flaws. If you calm down and think carefully, you will definitely be able to figure out the crux of the problem! ”

Under the constant reminder of himself in his heart, Yang Zhen's mood finally calmed down slowly. He secretly cleared all the distractions out of his mind, and quickly flashed everything before in his mind, seeing what he had missed.

Standing for such a long time, he completely forgot the environment he was in, and also forgot the things he was worried about, and now he only had one thought, to find the problems and flaws in the White Lotus Sect!

Suddenly, a question pressed down like a shadow, and his body suddenly shook: "His reaction is obviously very unreasonable...... There is also a lot of problems with the layout here, do they just want to die with my Jinyiwei? Yang Zhen, who had calmed down, turned his gaze on the things in the room, and finally, his gaze fell firmly on the wall, and a thought had already appeared in his mind.

"Is this all the case? All of this, including that Qu Changsheng, is just a conspiracy of theirs, in order to transfer my people here. And then...... "An extremely bad thought has been quickly generated......
