Walking along the streets, the swordsmen got closer and closer to the palace.

Seeing that he was only fifty or sixty steps away from the palace, several Han troops came head-on.

The Han soldiers who came over to them were wearing clothes and armor that were very different from ordinary Han soldiers.

Especially the golden tassels on their helmets, trembling in the wind, adding a little more power and heroism to them.

Seeing the several Han soldiers coming towards him, the five swordsmen who infiltrated Luoyang couldn't help but feel nervous.

The several groups of Han troops they met earlier did not attract any attention from them.

But the few who came over made them all feel nervous.

Walking towards them were several dragoon guards under Deng Zhan's command.

Pressing the long sword at his waist, several dragoon guards passed by the five swordsmen.

Just as they walked past the swordsmen, the leading dragoon guard stopped.

The dragoons who followed him also stopped, and their eyes all turned to the swordsmen.

"Stop!" Looking back at the swordsmen, the leading dragoon guard shouted to them.

Hearing his shout, several swordsmen stopped, but they didn't look back, and they all felt a little nervous in their hearts.

Pressing the hilt of his sword, the leading dragoon guard walked up to the five swordsmen, looked them from head to toe, and asked with some confusion, "Who are you waiting for?" When did you come to Luoyang? ”

"Back to the military master!" In Luoyang City, the five swordsmen didn't dare to make a mistake, and the leading swordsman said with a smile: "I'm going to enter the city today and come to the city to make a living." ”

"What are you going to do for a living?" Hearing that they had only entered the city today, the leading dragoon guard asked.

"We are all swordsmen!" Clenched his fists and bowed, he saluted a few dragoon guards, and the leading swordsman said with a flattering smile on his face: "I heard that there are many merchants in Luoyang City, and there are many people looking for guardians, so I am here to find an envoy!" ”

The suspicion on his face did not subside at all, and he looked a few swordsmen up and down again, but he really couldn't see anything unusual, and the leading dragoon guard waved his hand at them.

Leading a few dragoons away, the leader turned around and glanced at a few swordsmen.

Being interrogated by the dragoon guards, the five swordsmen all felt a chill down their spines.

When the dragoons left, they all felt that a large stone hanging in their throats had finally fallen into their stomachs.

"How?" After a few steps forward, a swordsman whispered to the leading swordsman and asked, "Those Han troops, if they fight, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to win one-on-one." I'm afraid that Jiang Gan is not very easy to kill! ”

His face was solemn, and the leading swordsman did not open his mouth.

When they entered the city gate, they were also interrogated by the Han army.

At that time, he was still full of confidence in carrying out this mission.

He was just interrogated by the dragoon guards, but he was worried in his heart.

Although he didn't fight the dragoon guards in the streets, the swordsman's intuition was much sharper than that of ordinary people.

The other party didn't make a move, but he could clearly feel the murderous aura emanating from the other party.

That is the unique murderous aura of a warrior in a hundred battles, and it is also the murderous aura necessary for a swordsman!

In the face of such an enemy, he really felt that if he fought one-on-one, with him and the few swordsmen he brought, it would be impossible for him to be the opponent of the Dragoon Guard!

Taking a deep breath, the leading swordsman beckoned to the four swordsmen behind him and continued to walk forward.

The four swordsmen who followed him glanced at each other.

From the eyes of their companions, they could see that they couldn't hide their worries, but they didn't say a word to anyone, and followed the leading swordsman towards the main gate of the palace.

When they arrived at the main gate of the palace, the five swordsmen would enter the shops on the side of the road from time to time and pretend to ask if there were any merchants looking for guards.

It is understandable for them to enter the shops, after all, the shops in the city often interact with some foreign merchants, and the most direct information about the merchants can be found from the shops.

However, while searching for information about merchants, there will always be a swordsman standing by the door of the shop as if carelessly, looking in the direction of the palace.

After meeting Liu Wei, Jiang Gan, who had withdrawn from the palace, walked out of the palace gate under the escort of several personal soldiers and went in the direction of his mansion.

Seeing Jiang Gan walking out of the palace, the swordsman standing at the door shouted to a few swordsmen who were asking about the shop: "What are you bothering here, I'll go to the market later, I want to have more opportunities there!" ”

This sentence was agreed upon by the swordsmen earlier, as soon as they saw Jiang Gan walking out of the palace, they would leave the shop and follow him.

When the leading swordsman heard his companion say this, he arched his fist towards the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "Don't mind the shopkeeper, my brother is so temperamental. I'd better go to the market first, and if I can't find a livelihood, I'll bother the store again! ”

He was enthusiastically telling a few swordsmen where there were merchants recruiting guards in the city, and when he heard the leading swordsman say this, the shopkeeper also felt a little surprised, and casually responded and sent them out of the shop.

The swordsmen left the store and stepped out of the back hall.

Seeing this person walk out, the shopkeeper who had warmly entertained the swordsmen hurriedly bowed to him with his fists in his fists, and greeted him with an unusually respectful expression: "Unknown general!" ”

"These guys are all good players!" Looking at the street in front of the store, he said to the shopkeeper: "Arrange manpower to keep up with these people, if something is right, they should be the ones who intercepted Jiang Ziyi!" ”

"No!" Changing the enthusiasm on his face when he spoke to the swordsmen, the shopkeeper answered, turned around and left the shop.

Standing inside the shop, nameless hands behind him, staring at the street outside the store, the expression on his face was indifferent.

The five swordsmen who left the shop, although they were a little more worried in their hearts after being interrogated twice, were also convinced that they would not be targeted by the Han army for a while and a half.

Following behind Jiang Gan and the guards who protected him, the five swordsmen followed him all the way to the gate of Jiang Gan's mansion.

Witnessing Jiang Gan enter the mansion, they glanced at each other and turned to walk towards the end of the street.

The swordsmen didn't notice that when they left, a person walked out of Jiang Gan's mansion,

The man did not stand on the street, but stood outside the door of the mansion, watching their backs.

"Jiang Gan's mansion is not very heavily guarded!" As he walked, the leading swordsman said to the four swordsmen who followed behind him: "I'll find a place to settle down in the nearest place first, and then I will make plans after sunset!" ”

"No!" Although the four swordsmen did not clench their fists, they all responded softly.

Standing outside the door of Jiang Gan's mansion was a man in a dark blue robe.

The man is burly, and the muscles on his chest crumble up his clothes.

This person is none other than Deng Zhan's deputy Huang Sheng.

Deng Zhan followed Liu Bian's order to search for swordsmen in the city who might have followed Jiang Gan into the city, while Huang Sheng got the order and came to Jiang Gan's mansion one step earlier to wait.

In addition to Huang Sheng, there were more than twenty dragoon guards disguised as servants in Jiang Gan's mansion.

These dragoons are carefully selected and good.

With their swordsmanship, the swordsmen who lurked into Luoyang City, even if they encountered them one-on-one, would definitely not be their opponents!

Seeing that the five swordsmen walked all the way to the corner of the street and disappeared into the market, Huang Sheng beckoned behind him: "Someone!" ”

A man in a dark blue coat quickly ran to his side, bowed to him with his fists folded, and waited for his orders.

"Inform General Deng that the assassin who infiltrated Luoyang has appeared, and ask the general to close the net tonight!" Without looking back, Huang Sheng gave an order to the man in Tsing Yi who was standing behind him.

"No!" In response, the man in Tsing Yi quickly ran towards the other end of the market, looking for Deng Zhan.

Deng Zhan, who led many dragoons to patrol the market and look for a suspicious person, was walking along the market.

As he walked, his gaze wandered over the faces of pedestrians on the road, especially those with long swords, which were the focus of his attention.

Merchants gathered in Luoyang City, and some merchants would have the need to recruit guards from the city when they left for the sake of their own consideration.

Originally, Luoyang City had implemented sword control, but the demand for merchants became more and more urgent, and Liu Wei also took into account that there was really a demand for this in the city, so he relaxed the control of swordsmen.

Many wandering swordsmen also got the news and rushed to Luoyang from all over the country.

Some of the swordsmen who came to Luoyang were looking for something to make a living, and some didn't really want to be a guard for the merchants, but wanted to find an opportunity to join the Han army.

Once assassinated by a swordsman, Liu Wei certainly would not lightly recruit people of unknown origin into the Han army.

Many swordsmen who wanted to serve the Han army were recruited into the Han army after a strict review to make sure that there were no problems.

The strict review avoids the mixing of some characters who fish in troubled waters, and will naturally turn away some swordsmen who have no problems but cannot provide a reasonable explanation.

The final result of this situation is that there are many more people walking with swords in the streets of Luoyang City.

Leading the dragoon guards in the market, Deng Zhan's eyes always wandered over the swordsmen.

Jiang Gan was intercepted and killed, and Liu Wei personally issued an order to ask the dragoon guards to search the city, and Deng Zhan felt that every swordsman who entered Luoyang City made people suspicious.

The swordsmen who were swept by his gaze, I don't know if they were weak or what, they didn't dare to look at each other, and they all shifted their eyes elsewhere.

felt that every swordsman in the market was suspicious, but Deng Zhan did not come forward to interrogate anyone.

He knew very well that at this time, he was too concerned about Liu Wei's will, and judged that there were some problems.

As he was leading a team of dragoons to walk in the market, a man in Tsing Yi quickly ran to Deng Zhan's side, looked left and right, approached him, and whispered something.
