The horse team traveled all the way, and since it was inside Longsan Castle, there was no need to worry about the road even though it was night. ..., it was not until the brigade approached the entrance of the fish market that an unexpected change occurred.

In the darkness, three whistle arrows rose into the air one after another, making a terrible sound.

In the silence of the night, the sound could be heard for miles.

Dian Yong and Yan Dongxing's faces suddenly changed. Regardless of whether these three whistle arrows were aimed at them or not, they were enough to alarm the target.

Their original plan was to dismount near the fish market and sneak in silently. Now that it's exposed, there's only one option.

Led by Dian Yong, fifty riders began to accelerate and rode straight into the alleys of the fish market.

Change sneak attack to assault!

At this time, Hu Tongguang and his lieutenant were already alarmed by the terrible whistle and arrows. According to the prior agreement, one whistle arrow is suspicious, and now three shots in a row must indicate that the most critical incident has occurred.

However, Hutong Light couldn't figure out where this crisis came from.

Now in Longshan City, the only two forces are the Good Friends Association and the Taiping Righteous Army. Although the former also sent someone to follow him, he threw him away. In one night, they may not be able to find out. In this case, the person who came may be the Taiping Rebels, but why should they deal with themselves?

Their black-clad guards are obviously here to help!

The doubts in my heart turned into doubts, and the grim facts and years of training still made Qinghu act quickly. Several people had already packed their bags in the middle of the night, and they quickly picked up the necessary things and slipped out of the back door of the courtyard, preparing to escape over the wall into other nearby houses.

It is not far from the dawn of the city, and if you can manage to delay until that time, you may be able to get out of the city.

"Who?"

The first person to go out suddenly felt a strong wind coming from one side. Subconsciously screamed.

This is also his last voice in the world.

A dagger stabbed him in the left rib, hitting the nail on the head, and he couldn't survive.

"It's those two stalkers!"

Hutongguang reacted extremely quickly, and immediately realized the identity of the sneak attacker, and couldn't help but be furious.

At this moment, he regretted very much why he hadn't killed the killer before. Seeing that the two people lurking here were silent. Continuing to attack, determined to entangle them, Hu Tongguang rolled up his sleeves and used a more delicate hand crossbow tied to his arm.

A slight sound of breaking the air sounded, followed by the muffled sound of a sharp weapon piercing into the **.

The unsuspecting attacker didn't even snort and fell to the ground and died. The other attacker was startled and raised his vigilance to the highest level, but only for a short time. Immediately, his throat was cut.

"Let's go!"

After being delayed by the two of them for such a while, the adjutant was anxious and urged the others.

"It's too late."

Hutongguang's ears moved, and his face turned pale.

The sound of horses' hooves was approaching rapidly, faster than he could have imagined. In the blink of an eye, the horse team divided into two teams, and the first team stopped at the main entrance of the shop. The other team split up and went straight to their side. I saw the fire light up. Hutong Guang knew that he couldn't leave, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Go back!" ”

As you can tell, the number of horses that came to attack was not very large. If they are chased and killed outside, they will definitely not be able to escape by themselves. However, there was a layout of his own in the previous foothold, and a hundred crossbows were stored. Hu Tongguang planned to use these to kill and injure a group of incoming riders, and then seize the horses and flee.

That's the situation. The only hope of escape!

………

The siege of Qinghu Hutongguang lasted until dawn.

Because the people from the Taiping camp had already arrived later and completely taken over the neighborhood, Chen Wu was able to follow with confidence.

Far from getting closer, he smelled a strong smell of blood. After watching the scene. His first feeling was only one word - miserable!

A team of fifty horsemen who had been ordered to arrive, all dressed in double armor, should have been a breeze to attack the shop, which was guarded by only five or six men. But as a result, Chen Wu's men lost ten people and nearly the same number of wounded. In the end, it was the people of Ganxing who threw an earthen weapon in a clay pot that could emit poisonous smoke from the burning, and then forced the people inside out.

If it weren't for it, they wouldn't know how much more they would have lost.

However, the effort was worth it.

The light of Qinghu Hutong is dead!

This cunning guy was very patient and hid until the end, and even attacked and killed a person, taking advantage of the chaos to change clothes and try to get out. It's a pity that he didn't expect Chen Wu to agree on the code in advance, so it was revealed, and he was killed by Dian Yong himself. If it weren't for Chen Wu knowing how powerful he was and being cautious enough, I was afraid that he would really find a chance to escape.

Although the death of ten members of the horse team made Chen Wu very distressed, if he could exchange it for the death of Hu Tongguang and his henchmen, it would be completely different.

If the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau knew about this, I was afraid that it would also issue a medal to Chen Wu, the leader of the anti-thieves.

What surprised Chen Wu even more was that inside this shop, the rebels seized the cargo box full of crossbows and special crossbow arrows. However, the number is not forty-nine sets, but doubled, a full ninety-eight!

The matching crossbow bolts are not a thousand, but two thousand.

Chen Wu only pondered for a moment, and then he understood Hutongguang's plan - he not only found the rebels, but also planned to fund the Good Friends Association. It's a pity that before the night passed, he was sent by himself to directly take the old nest, and all the hundred sets of crossbows for the two families fell into the hands of the righteous army.

To be exact, it should be ninety-nine sets.

If the expectation is good, the missing set is now in the hands of Wang Huifang of the Good Friends Association.

This unexpected gain made Chen Wu feel very good. This is a full hundred sets of crossbows, enough to equip a Taiping Army brigade. When fighting with the enemy, suddenly come at close range, and I am afraid that I can collapse the enemy in front of me in an instant. In the Qianyuan Empire, only the elite main battle troops are qualified to equip this thing.

The local garrison brigade in Wu'an can't get it!

"Move all away, and block the news here!"

The extra fifty sets of crossbows are equivalent to snatching food from the mouth of the Good Friends Association. At least at this stage, Chen Wu didn't want to tear his face with them because of this.

But obviously, this kind of thing cannot be hidden.

The great movement of the Taiping Righteous Army at night reached the side of the Good Friends Association before noon. In addition, the crossbow bolts agreed upon by the mysterious person were not delivered. As soon as the two were related, Wang Huifang probably knew what was going on, and couldn't help but be shocked and angry.

His reaction was also straightforward, and he directly ordered five hundred Dharma Protector Buddha soldiers and rushed to Chen Wu's Dongcheng District.

Prior to this, the two sides were bounded by a north-south axis. The well water does not interfere with the river water. Now that these five hundred people suddenly crossed the line, coupled with the fact that Chen Wu had already given orders in the morning, it immediately caused a backlash from the rebel army.

A large number of Taiping camps rushed over and stopped Wang Huifang's Dharma Protector Buddhist army.

The unified and neat gray array, like a terrible torrent, made the Dharma Protector Buddha soldiers brought by Wang Huifang involuntarily commotion. However, after years of brainwashing, they did not back down because of this, but confronted each other fearlessly.

The two rebel armies occupying Lun Shan are about to merge with each other. It is undoubtedly a big news that shook the entire Long Mountain.

Fortunately, Wang Huifang was obviously still sensible, so that the Dharma Protector Buddha soldiers maintained sufficient restraint. Chen Wu also rushed to the scene immediately after receiving the news and brought the situation under control in time.

The troops on both sides faced each other across the street.

Of course, Wang Huifang didn't know the real reason why Chen Wu attacked Qinghu, and only when the other party coveted the fifty sets of crossbows promised to him by Hutong Guang, he did not hesitate to kill people and overtake the goods. The so-called follow-up assistance, in this case, can only be stopped. After all, everyone is dead, and he has only one request now.

"Return fifty sets of crossbows!"

Chen Wu is willing to return it. This matter ends here, and Wang Huifang will not fight with him meaninglessly because of a dead man.

However, will Chen Wu let it?

The things brought by Hutong Light are military products produced by the Omani Dynasty, and they are real murderous weapons. Just by virtue of the relationship between the two parties, the meat that has been eaten by Chen Wu. It was impossible to spit it out to him.

"Lord Wang, what kind of crossbow? Ben couldn't understand it. ”

Anyway, no one saw it with their own eyes, Chen Wu looked at Wang Huifang, who was forbearing, and there was no such thing as biting him to death.

"The surname is Chen, don't think that you can get past by pretending to be confused." Wang Huifang's eyelids twitched. Clenched his fists and said, "It should be my thing, I can't run!" ”

"Lord Wang, I don't understand what you are saying."

Chen Wu also lowered his face and snorted coldly: "Is there such a thing as a crossbow that ordinary people can get?" How could fifty sets of crossbows suddenly appear in this Longshan City? Even if you make up a reason, you might as well make up a decent one. ”

"If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do!" Wang Huifang stared at him viciously, and said word by word: "You sent so many horse teams last night to attack the alleys of the fish market in Nancheng, do you really think I don't know?" You have to insist that you didn't rob it, so do you dare to let go of the camp and let me search it? ”

"Lord Wang, it's too much!"

Chen Wu's tone was unswerving, and he said without backing down: "Although you and I have formed an alliance, we have already agreed at the time of the oath that we will cooperate with each other on an equal footing and not interfere with each other. Just rely on the empty words of your good friends association, you want to search the camp of my righteous army, how can there be such a reason in the world? ”

"So, you resolutely refuse to retreat!"

Wang Huifang was really annoyed.

It's just that in the face of the Taiping Camp rebels, whose number is no less than his own, he really can't say the word "attack".

Chen Wu was fearless, and said lightly: "Lord Wanghui, if you want to fight, you will not be afraid, but when the officials and soldiers of the county town get the news, they are afraid that they will wake up with a smile from their dreams." ”

"What a Taiping rebel! We'll see! ”

Wang Huifang finally didn't dare to fight, dropped a cruel word, and gave the retreat order to the Dharma Protector Buddha soldiers under his hand.

With his departure, Chen Wu knew that there was a huge rift in the already shaky alliance between the two sides. Don't care what you thought before, at least the surface is passable. But now, if there is no common enemy, I am afraid that the two sides will immediately be able to fight.

But so what?

It's a matter of time before both sides turn their faces.

The fifty crossbows of the Green Fox Hutong Light were just an unexpected fuse, which advanced this matter a little bit.

Seeing Wang Huifang walk away, Chen Wu's face showed a cold killing intent. (To be continued......)
