"Who's there?" When those bandits were still dozens of meters away from the thatched hut where Long Yufei and the others lived, the palace guards who were in charge of standing guard noticed their movements and immediately asked out loud. The night was dark, and the palace guards didn't know who these people were. In order to avoid injuring innocent people, the shooting was not fired at the first time. However, even this surprised the bandits.

"Dog's day, these businessmen are really vigilant, and they even arranged for people to be on duty at night. However, doesn't this also show that these people are bringing valuable things? The bandit boss at the top of the old owl said secretly.

"Brothers, since you have been discovered, then attack! There are only a few dozen of them, and we are much more than them! The bandit boss of the old owl immediately changed his tactics. People die for money, birds die for food, and in order to get this money, he is out of the way.

The palace guards on duty at night also discovered that something was wrong, and this met the enemy. At the first moment, the pistol in his hand fired.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "The crisp sound of gunfire was heard far away in the silent night. At the same time, it was accompanied by the screams of people. Even at night, the marksmanship of the palace guards was still good, several bandits were hit, some died on the spot, but some who had not been killed immediately couldn't help but let out a miserable howl like wild beasts.

The rest of the palace guards were also awakened by the sound of gunfire. Well-trained, they turned over and got up as soon as possible, and they were originally palace guards who slept in clothes. Immediately took out his weapon, rushed out of the house, and began to fight. This time, they accompanied the emperor on a private visit. Now that they have been attacked, if His Majesty the Emperor has three long and two short, then I am afraid that these people will have to apologize for their crimes with death.

Li Hu, the chief of the guard, was also awakened, and immediately got up from a carp on the bed. Hearing the gunshot, Li Hu's face became very ugly. It's been safe all the way, but now there's a problem. Don't. Have their whereabouts been leaked? Thinking of this, Li Hu was very worried. His personal life and death are trivial matters, but if something happens to Long Yufei. That's the problem.

Long Yufei and Minister of Civil Affairs Zhou Yuan were also awakened by the sound of gunfire. However, Long Yufei's face was quite indifferent. After being a king for so many years, he can be regarded as having developed the momentum of not being surprised at every turn. However, Minister of Civil Affairs Zhou Yuan. There was a little panic.

"Huzi. What's going on? Long Yufei asked calmly. He had always thought that the viscount's luck would not be so bad. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come into this world. Besides, this time his private interview with Weifu is strictly confidential, and there is no possibility of leakage.

"Majesty, I don't know. But rest assured, we'll keep you safe. Li Hu said solemnly.

Long Yufei nodded, for the ability of the palace guards. He's quite trusting.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "When the palace guards joined the battle, the gunfire intensified. The palace guards all used pistols. Although the effective range of fire is only a few tens of meters, the rate of fire is much faster than that of a rifle. Dozens of pistols opened fire fiercely, and the dense firepower directly knocked those bandits up to their heads. Many of them had already been shot, and the rest of them were lying on the ground, and some of the timid people were even scared to urinate.

"Shit, what the hell is going on? Didn't they say they were businessmen? How can there be so many guns? "The bandit boss at the top of the old owl wanted to cry without tears, originally thought that he had encountered a fat sheep, but in a blink of an eye, this fat sheep became a tiger that wanted to eat people!

Zhou Chenglong, the patriarch of Zhoujia Village, and the elders of the sect, who had been waiting for the news, also changed their faces when the gunshots rang out. This undoubtedly proves Zhou Chenglong's guess that those businessmen are indeed disguised by people from the government. However, those people in the government actually have such fierce firepower, can the bandits in the old lord beat the people in the government? If they fail, will the matter be exposed?

"Patriarch, what should we do now?" Zhou Han asked with a panicked expression.

"Let's wait and see what happens!" Zhou Chenglong said that he had no choice but to resign himself to fate.

This time, the palace guards who accompanied Long Yufei on a private visit had a company, among them, the company and a platoon stayed with Long Yufei. The other two platoons, one in front of the other, are in front of the other to ensure that they can be reinforced at any time in the event of a crisis.

The gunfire that rang out in Zhoujia Village attracted the attention of the two platoons, and they immediately began to send reinforcements to Zhoujia Village. They will be able to arrive in half an hour at most. When the time comes, the crisis will be resolved.

The people of Zhoujia Village were also awakened by the sound of gunfire. However, these ordinary people were so frightened that they hid at home and shivered, and did not dare to go out, for fear of being affected.

Although the palace guards were not as numerous as the bandits, the weapons they used were not comparable to those bandits. Even in the dark of night, bandits who used cold weapons could not pose a threat to the palace guards, and were completely suppressed. Li Hu, the chief of the guard, also relaxed at this time, since the palace guards can deal with the shape in front of him, this means that the threat is not great.

"Damn, this time it's in the gutter!" The bandit boss at the top of the old lord scolded fiercely. He knew that this time it would be impossible to steal a handful of rice, and if he continued like this, his men and horses would all have to be lost here. In order to preserve strength, he gave the order to retreat.

"The wind is tight, pull it!" The bandits began to retreat. The palace guards did not pursue, their first task was to ensure Long Yufei's safety. If this is the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, it will be troublesome.

However, this does not mean that the bandits will be able to escape. The other two platoons of palace guards quickly rushed to Zhoujia Village and launched a pursuit of the bandits. In the end, after less than an hour of fighting, the bandits were annihilated, the big boss was shot on the spot, and only a few bandits saw the opportunity quickly and surrendered to the palace guards, saving their lives. In this battle, only two soldiers were wounded.

Of course, with the strength of the palace guards, dealing with such a little bandit is naturally handy. If it was during the day, they would have ended the battle more quickly. After all, the palace guards are all selected from the veterans who have died on the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.

"Your Majesty, it's been solved, it's a bunch of bandits!" Li Hu said to Long Yufei.

"Bandits? We're being targeted by bandits? Minister of Civil Affairs Zhou Yuan said in surprise.

"Something is wrong, how can those bandits target us? Huzi, interrogate those bandits, I want to know the ins and outs. Long Yufei said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Hu nodded. They were actually attacked, which made him very angry, although it was only a false alarm, but he wanted to break the body of the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Patriarch, the bandits at the top of the old owl have been eliminated, and the rest of the people have been caught by the people of the government!" Soon, a person from Zhoujia Village reported to the patriarch Zhou Chenglong.

"It's over, it's over!" Zhou Chenglong was depressed on the chair, and the whole person suddenly seemed to be a lot older.

"Collaborating with bandits, that's a felony of rebellion! What are we going to do now? "The rest of the sect elders are also like dead old women, and they don't know what to do? Although this was Zhou Chenglong's idea, they also agreed, in case the government tracked it down, they would also escape the tribal involvement.

Soon, Long Yufei got the information he wanted. The patriarch of Zhoujia Village was so bold that he dared to collude with the bandits. If it weren't for the strength of the guards he led, maybe this time it would have been miserable.

"Huzi, immediately send someone to arrest the patriarch and clan elders of Zhoujia Village. They have been in the country for so long, and now they dare to collude with the bandits, they must not be spared! Long Yufei ordered. He knew that if he wanted to change the appearance of Zhoujia Village, he had to eradicate the clan forces. And now, there is undoubtedly a great opportunity.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Hu immediately explained.

A team of palace guards brutally kicked open the door of the Zhou clan chief's mansion, and brought the patriarch Zhou Chenglong and a cadre of sect elders under control.

"What do you want to do? We are good citizens. Some sect elders were not convinced, and reprimanded loudly. However, when he was cleaned up fiercely, he was immediately honest.

"Huzi, send someone to the county overnight to explain the situation here to them. By the way, don't take my fate, in the name of Lord Zhou! Long Yufei said. If people know that he is in Chenzhou, I am afraid that it will not be peaceful.

"Okay. 陛xià! Li Hu said.

"Lord Zhou, I'll leave the rest to you! I have only one request, and that is to uproot the clan power in Zhoujia Village! Long Yufei said that he believed that Zhou Yuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, would definitely handle it properly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister knows what to do." Zhou Yuan nodded.

The officials in Chenzhou were frightened when they learned that the Minister of Civil Affairs was actually in Zhoujia Village, and that they had also been attacked by bandits in collusion with the strength of the local clans. Fortunately, Zhou Yuan was safe and sound, which made them breathe a sigh of relief. However, these officials gritted their teeth with hatred for the patriarch of Zhoujia Village and the elders of the clan. Fortunately, nothing serious happened, otherwise they would have suffered.

The villagers of Zhoujia Village, although they were not angry that the patriarch and the sect elder had been arrested, they didn't dare to say anything when they saw that there were so many more soldiers and policemen with guns in the village. Some of the people who were bullied by the patriarch and the clan elder even had a faint excitement, and they felt that the sky in Zhoujia Village seemed to be about to change. (To be continued......)
