The entire ground shook violently, and a huge fireball mixed with smoke rolled up from the side of Wanhao Inn, and finally disappeared into the air strangely.

Chen Juan felt that she was being supported, and when she turned her eyes to see that it was the crown princess, she looked calm as if nothing had happened.

At this time, the sergeants outside the door poured in, and when they saw the crown princess and her maids standing in the courtyard, they all stopped in embarrassment.

Zhang Wenyi smiled at these sergeants and thanked them: "Everyone has worked hard. It's okay here, please go back. ”

The sergeant at the head clasped his fists at the two and saluted, and then turned around and expelled his subordinates: "Okay, it's okay, everyone goes back to their positions!" ”

The courtyard was instantly gone, Chen Juan's legs weakened, and she knelt down in front of Zhang Wenyi. Zhang Wenyi pulled her up and took her back to the house.

Chen Juan knelt down again, this time Zhang Wenyi didn't stop her, but just said, "Chen Juan, are you willing to follow me as my confidant?" ”

Chen Juan didn't speak for a long time, thinking and struggling in her heart for a long time, and finally she said weakly: "The slave is willing to serve the master." ”

Hearing that she had finally made such a choice, Zhang Wenyi secretly withdrew the revolver hidden in her sleeve. Then he reached out and helped Chen Juan up from the ground, and let Chen Juan help her to the seat.

Zhang Wenyi raised her eyes to look at Chen Juan, and said seriously word by word: "Thank you for your willingness to believe in me and follow me, and I will definitely not let you down." When General Ja Jie comes back, you can find a way to invite him to the back garden while people are not paying attention. ”

Chen Siliang, the assassin of Dingzhou, did not expect the prince to visit suddenly, and when he saw the five hundred ironclad golden guards behind the prince, Chen Siliang knew that the matter was exposed.

Chen Siliang is a scholar from Jincheng, formerly known as Chen Jin, and his family is in the middle of the road. Where he saw the Hu invasion and killing the Han people, his family also decayed because of the Hu invasion, so he had a deep hatred for the Hu people.

With his outstanding knowledge, he was admitted to the Jinshi during the Wude period, and changed his name to Chen Siliang, which means missing Xiliang. With the continuous rise of his official position, Chen Siliang gradually changed from a hairy boy who wanted to kill back to an important member of the court who relied on power and fought for power.

Today, the leader of the Cui family in Dingzhou asked him to cooperate with the action, promised Chen Siliang the benefits of 50,000 guan and a thin horse in Jiangdu, and asked him to lead people to besiege the prince's line. In the small school field in Dingzhou, there are more than 300 third-class officials and more than 2,000 native soldiers, which is the largest force that Chen Siliang can gather.

If he was not facing the official army, Chen Siliang believed that the more than 2,000 people under his command would be a huge threat to any enemy with Yan Zhao's bloody nature.

It's just that the common people are always in awe of the government, and these officials and native soldiers are no exception. In the face of the brightly armored Jin Wuwei, they have a natural fear. So when Li Zhi took Jin Wuwei into the yamen of the Assassin's Mansion, Chen Siliang smiled bitterly and drank a bowl of poisonous wine.

Looking at Li Zhi who walked in, Chen Siliang twitched the corners of his mouth, holding back and not daring to speak.

Seeing the cyan Chen Thorn History, Li Zhi also knew that he was hopeless, but Li Zhi did not intend to let him go. An official of the imperial court leads the royal court, uses the rights given by the imperial court to make a fortune, and helps others to fight his idea as a prince, such a person cannot let him die.

"Do you think you can die to atone for your sin?" Li Zhi said softly. "Maybe you think it's just a big deal to punish the Nine Clans, but I think death is too cheap for you and your family."

Chen Siliang glared at Li Zhi as if asking, "What are you going to do?" ”

Li Zhi looked at him and said with a slight smile: "I will confiscate all the property of your nine clans into the official, and I won't leave even a copper plate for them." And I'm going to go around telling everybody that these people are rebels and that they don't have any protection from the government. ”

When Li Zhi said this, Chen Siliang had a frightened expression on his face.

Seeing his sudden face change, Li Zhi happily continued: "It seems that you know the result, the men in your clan will be killed like pigs and dogs; Women will be raped with all kinds of people, including those whom you call the lower three promiscuities. For the sake of money, they will do everything to steal men and prostitutes, until the depraved are killed. No wonder some people say it's harder to live than to die. ”

Before Li Zhi's words fell, he had to hear a "poof", and Chen Siliang fell to the ground, dying with a pair of frightened eyes.

At the same time that Li Zhi entered the Assassin's Mansion, Cheng Chubi took over the defense of the grain depot in the city with 2,000 men. Captain Oricho, who wanted to refuse to hand him over, was slashed to the ground by him and tied up by the sergeant.

Without the obstruction of Captain Zhichong, the two Guoyi Lieutenants were naturally willing to hand over their military power to him. Isn't it just a nobleman! Cheng Chubi is the same, but he is sitting upright. The soldiers, who don't even know what they should do, are blind and have a good skin.

Cheng Chubi did not hesitate at all, and immediately appointed two Guo Yi Du Lieutenants to lead the men and horses of the headquarters to form a defensive line in front of the grain depot to strengthen the guard of the grain depot.

Zhou Wenlong took people to investigate the grain depot and returned to the manor, planning to sleep and wait until it was dark before starting. Although he knew that there was an internal response, he still didn't dare to be careless, he had heard too many stories of the master's murder and extermination.

The simplest thing is to betray him to the crown prince, so that any sin can be pushed on him, and he can only take it all on him, because his family is in their hands.

In the evening, Zhou Wenlong, who had not yet woken up, was woken up from his sleep by his subordinates. I only heard my subordinates say in horror: "Big brother, the official army has besieged the manor to death!" ”

Zhou Wenlong was taken aback and blurted out: "Impossible!" ”

It was no wonder that Zhou Wenlong had such confidence, and the observation post he had set up could detect all anomalies within a five-mile radius of this manor.

If there are scouts or other spies from the official army, he will find out quickly. But there has never been such a person in the vicinity, how did they find out? If the government first arrested the people above him and then confessed, this possibility is too small.

The difficulty for the government to arrest these people is not ordinary, but I am afraid that there is still a discussion over there, and this side already knows about it.

But now was not the time to think about it, he knew that there was a tunnel in the bedroom of the manor's main house that led to the outside. Now you can only use this tunnel to escape.

Ja Jie led people to the vicinity of the manor, looked at the terrain and immediately arranged a route surrounded by all sides. As the troops quickly approached the manor, Jajay could conclude that he was not in the wrong place.

From several of the best observation points, there are people running into the manor, which shows that these people are indeed very experienced in how to investigate, as Cheng Chubi said.

Ja Jie sent soldiers to surround the manor. Seeing that the gate of the manor was closed, no one responded when he stepped forward to call the door, which showed that the people inside were ready to resist stubbornly.

Ja Jie was not polite and immediately ordered people to cut down trees and attack the door, and the big tree with roots and dirt was carried by the soldiers and hit the gate one by one. The gate holding the iron sheet crashed to the ground after dozens of impacts.

At the moment when the gate fell to the ground, more than a dozen feathered arrows shot out of the door. The soldiers who slammed the door were all veterans, and as soon as the door was broken, they lost the big trees and retreated on both sides, and all the feathered arrows shot from the door flew into the air. And the sergeant on Ja Jie's side shot the rocket in his hand at this time!

The rockets hit the houses, and although they didn't hit the houses at once, they could also cause confusion among the defenders inside. The soldiers took advantage of the momentary chaos to kill them.

When the people inside shot the third round of feather arrows, more than thirty swordsmen had already rushed into the courtyard, and with so many people rushing in, it was basically impossible for the feather arrows to kill and injure people. The knife player took advantage of the situation and pressed forward, and the average archer had no other way but to retreat, otherwise the short knife they carried with them would not be able to beat the knife hand at all.

However, these archers were not ordinary archers, they all had large guns by their side. As the saying goes, an inch is long and an inch is strong, and these dozen or so big guns danced together, and suddenly forced the card knife hand back three or four steps.

However, Jacques Jie seemed to have expected such a scenario, and it turned out to be strong archers who came in with these swordsmen. Before these archers who had just turned into pikemen could react, they were shot down by a dozen or so arrows from the air, and the few remaining ones didn't even have time to pick up the bows and arrows on the ground, throw away the spears, and turned around and ran.

Jay Jie waved his hand to keep the soldier on the spot from chasing for the time being, and he waved his hand back. A herald behind him raised the flag in his hand and waved it a few times, only to see a dozen stones flying in from outside the courtyard, and the stones either smashed on the courtyard wall of the inner courtyard or smashed on some houses. From time to time, screams came from inside, and no one could have imagined that he would bring a dozen small trebuchets with him.

The attack of the seven and eight rounds of flying stones hit the people who were in ambush in the backyard and couldn't stand still and looked for a place to dodge, and Ja Jie ordered the card knife hand to continue to advance inside.

Zhou Wenlong looked at the battle situation and shook his head, the generals on the opposite side were too powerful. With so many officers and troops attacking like Mount Tai, he couldn't break through if he wanted to. Now he had to use the tunnels to escape.

opened the entrance of the cave Zhou Wenlong drilled into the tunnel, this is not his ruthlessness. The brothers outside will certainly not be saved, and when they flee, the fewer people the better, and one more person is one more danger.

So Zhou Wenlong secretly prayed: Brothers, it's not the eldest brother who wants to abandon you, it's really not allowed by the situation!

After praying, Zhou Wenlong carefully closed the entrance to the tunnel, and then walked along the tunnel with the torch that had been prepared.

This tunnel entrance is very hidden, even if others want to find it, it is not so easy, and when they find the tunnel entrance and chase it down, he Zhou Wenlong may have already returned to his lair to sleep peacefully.

The tunnel was very winding and long, and just when the torch was about to burn out, Zhou Wenlong saw the end. It's just that this end is sealed with a wooden board, and Zhou Wenlong is probably afraid of exposing the entrance to the cave.

He stepped forward and shook the plank to open it. But there was so much sand and dirt that the planks couldn't be pushed at all.

Seeing that the torch was about to be extinguished, Zhou Wenlong was anxious. He shook it from side to side, and found that he could shake it, and now Zhou Wenlong was overjoyed, shook the plank violently a few times, and pushed the plank to the side with a loud shout.

What Zhou Wenlong didn't expect was that as the wooden plank moved to the side, it was not the mud and sand and stones that fell in, but the surging river. Now Zhou Wenlong understands that this tunnel is simply an escape tunnel, but a tunnel for killing people and destroying mouths.

The turbulent river slammed into the wooden board and hit Zhou Wenlong's body hard, although it hurt Zhou Wenlong from being beaten by the wooden board, he still regretted why he was not knocked unconscious, so it would be better to die.
