Volume 2 A Light Walks in the Night Chapter 74 Sleepless Nights (1)

Dozens of cultivators from all walks of life gathered near Yipinlou heard Zhao Ning's order, and all of them immediately set off, running in different directions in a concealed manner, faster than the tiger and leopard, and even more agile than the tanuki.

There are people with a pinlou and a sanqing sword in it, and they execute Zhao Ning's instructions as well as the Zhao clan, just as neatly and neatly, and they didn't ask Hu Hong to practice again. Before that, Hu Honglian handed over the command to Zhao Ning.

The soldiers had already attacked, and Zhao Ning and the others had no reason to stay in Yipinlou anymore, so they got off the roof, stepped on their horses, and rushed onto the street surrounded by a team of soldiers from the Governor's Mansion and galloped towards the established destination.

There were not many pedestrians on the street, dozens of horsemen rode horses and whips, and there were two cavalry commanders and soldiers in front of the road, shouting at the pedestrians to dodge, but they were not worried about who they had collided with.

There are many people in Yanping City, and ordinary people are not allowed to gallop on the street, and violators will be severely punished, but the Governor's Mansion urgently handles the case, so he naturally has his privilege.

Su Yeqing, especially Hu Honglian, although he is accustomed to fighting in the market and ignores the law, but he is followed by dozens of horses galloping on the street, this is the first time, and the majesty, publicity and privilege brought by it make them unconsciously feel new and happy.

The three hundred soldiers of the Governor's Mansion under Zhao Ning had already received orders before he went on a mission, half of them returned to the camp, and half of them were on standby in the Governor's Mansion, on the grounds that Zhao Ning was going to the market tonight, and he might find clues in case of emergency.

After Wei Wuxian had analyzed the situation that the Liu clan might not move, in order to facilitate the attack, Zhao Ning transferred a team of men to the vicinity of Yipinlou - he did not let them get too close to the teahouse, and let the soldiers in the Duwei's Mansion be ready to dispatch at any time.

When he had just received reports from the spies who were monitoring the White Clothes Society and the Goshawk Gang, Zhao Ning had already told them where the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion were going. Now that the operation has begun, the teams will go straight to their destination, and there will be no delay.

The reason for this arrangement was that Zhao Ning was not guarding against Zhang Wenzheng, but was worried that there would be an eyeliner in the Governor's Mansion that had been bought by the White Clothes Society, the Goshawk Gang or the Liu Family, and revealed the action plan in advance;

In order not to reveal his intentions and let the Liu family detect it earlier, Zhao Ning could only give orders to the Governor's Mansion step by step as the situation changed. And when the action officially began, he sent someone to Zhang Wenzheng's residence and notified the other party.

According to Zhao Ning's arrangement, every white-clothed society and goshawk gang hall that was attacked by the Zhao cultivators, Yipinlou, and Sanqing Sword would have soldiers from the Duwei Mansion present. In this way, Zhao Ning could say afterwards that he had found out the identity of the master of the Yuan Shen Realm in the case of Feixue Lou in time, and made a decisive attack, with the help of the Zhao clan's strength, to wipe out these thieves who ignored the law and their forces.

"Aren't that the soldiers of the Duwei Mansion, why are they riding horses in the streets at this time and making a big move? What are they going to do, so arrogant!" A Jingzhao Mansion official who patrols the streets was eating supper at a chaos stall with his companions, and when he heard the movement and turned around, he saw Zhao Ning and the others galloping by.

"No matter what he does, you still plan to go up and scold them as usual, so that they don't disturb the people? An older servant knocked on the table, signaling the younger companion to do his part.

What happened to Liu Zhiwu, Jing Zhaoyin, Liu Muzhi and others in the Governor's Mansion today has already spread, and it is not a secret, although the young official is very unconvinced, he also knows that the older official is right, so he bows his head and continues to eat his own chaos.

Zhao Ning, who was galloping on a horse, looked up by chance, and saw a figure on the roof of a high-rise building in the distance, who was originally observing this side, and suddenly jumped up in panic. Just before he could escape, a meteor-like talisman bow and arrow flew from far to near in the intervening time, accurately piercing his throat!

From a distance of more than 100 steps, Zhao Ning could see the pitch-black figure, a trace of blood flying out of the back of his neck, doubly bewitching under the bright crescent moon.

Almost at the same time, among the sparse crowd on the street in front of him, there was a rough-clothed man who was originally burying his head forward, and after catching a glimpse of Zhao Ning and the others, he flashed into the alley next to him like an electric shock.

He carefully observed Zhao Ning's team a few times, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he was about to run to the depths of the alley and report back from another road.

It's just that when he turned around, he was shocked to find that there was already a cultivator wearing a hat and hiding his face in the shadows in front of him!

The rough-clothed man was frightened, and his first reaction was to draw the dagger in his sleeve and attack, but as soon as his arm was raised, a clear sword light flashed in front of him, and then he heard the sound of blood spurting out.

When the big man with blood spurting from his throat fell down with his eyes wide and unbright, on the street outside the alley, the cavalry in Zhao Ning's team quickly swept past one by one, and their floating clothes were as light as the wind.

Along the way, Zhao Ning would notice from time to time that on the walls of the houses and in the streets and alleys on both sides of the front of the team, scenes of bloody and short-lived killings were being staged. He knew that it was his own master who was cleaning up the spies who came out from the various halls of the White Clothes Society to probe and monitor his movements.

They rushed all the way forward, and the cultivators of the other side also died all the way. It's not just Zhao Ning here, in Yanping City at this moment, near the action teams, one by one high places with a wide field of vision, such killings and deaths are constantly being staged.

Since these spies are acting as scouts, and tonight's operation is similar to the battle between the two armies, then they have to accept the fate of the scouts - to die first.

Holding the reins of the horse, Zhao Ning dismounted at the mouth of a slightly remote alley, and looked into the alley, more than twenty cultivators stood in two straight columns, like javelins, no one spoke, and it was as quiet as a ghost.

Those who have such a look are naturally not from the rivers and lakes, but from the cultivators of the Jiangmen Zhao clan.

The leader is none other than Zhao Qiyue. After Zhao Ning made Wu Shaochen so angry that she vomited blood and fainted, she left the Governor's Mansion.

"As you wish, the ones who come are all masters. ”

The huge mountain opening axe was stuck in the ground, and Zhao Qiyue sat on the handle of the axe with his legs folded and his arms folded. In this way, she does not have to look up to others because of her height disadvantage, but can look down on all beings in turn. The tail of the axe handle has a sword-like structure, which allows her to sit comfortably.

All in all, Zhao Qiyue, who was sitting on a giant axe that was one foot long, would not look delicate and weak now because of his petite stature, but would have an evil and strange majesty.

Zhao Qiyue's gaze swept over Hu Honglian and Su Yeqing, without lingering too long, nor did he express malice or goodwill.

Su Yeqing's eyes widened, and her face was full of amazement and envy, as if Zhao Qiyue, who was looking captivating in front of her, was a fairy, and she had some charm that fascinated her. This charm was so appealing to her that she was a little stunned.

Hu Honglian is a different feeling.

The cultivators in the alley, all of them have Yuan Shen Realm cultivation! The entire Yipinlou, the Yuan Shen Realm cultivators combined, are not as many as in front of them! And this is just a gathering place, you can imagine how many strong people there are in the Zhao clan!

With such two teams of strong and disciplined masters as foils, Zhao Qiyue, who was sitting high on the handle of the axe, although he was in the same realm as Hu Honglian, also gave her a lot of pressure.

On the one hand, she was glad that Yipinlou was able to stand in the same boat with the Zhao family because of Zhao Ning's choice, how lucky it was, and she would definitely have to get along with the Zhao family in the future;

"Tonight's operation is just a battle in the rivers and lakes, not a battlefield battle, it is useless to have so many people, our purpose is to eliminate all the cultivators of the Yuan God Realm on the enemy. In this way, the White Clothes Society and the rest of the Goshawk Gang will not pose much of a threat, and it will be easy to disperse or co-opt. The battle should end as quickly as possible, and the momentum should not be too loud, disrupting the order of Yanping City and affecting the ordinary people. A quick battle with overwhelming force is the most appropriate tactic. ”

Zhao Ning walked through the narrow and winding alley, walked to the other end, and looked up, not far from the diagonal opposite of the long street, there was a three-story gambling house with bright lights. That was their goal, and it was an important part of the White Coat Society.

He looked up at the sky again, and silently counted the hours in his heart, and it was very close to the time to act together.

When they first arrived at Yipinlou during the day, Zhao Ning and Wei Wuxian's plan was to only summon the guests of the family who were not members of their respective clans, to serve in battle, and secretly help Yipinlou to avoid revealing their identities and being said to be involved in gang fighting.

Now that the situation has changed, he has become the leading investigator of the Feixue Lou case, and in the case of the opponent's strength, it is logical to call the masters of the Zhao family and the Wei family to help, and it can be carried out openly and honestly, without too many scruples.

"Look at how quiet and peaceful the gambling house is, and how bright the lights are, they don't know yet, Hades has arrived outside the door. Wei Wuxian clasped his hands in his sleeves and chuckled lowly.

"People who are turtles with shrunken heads always feel safer this way. Zhao Ning also smiled.

"The Liu family didn't come to attack Yipinlou, thinking that they would be able to avoid danger in this way, but they didn't know that even if they hid, we wouldn't let them go. Hades wants to ask for his life, but it doesn't matter if you go out or not!"

"Tonight, some people are destined to sleep forever, and some people are destined to not be able to sleep. ”

"The hour has come!"

"Signal fireworks, attack!"

Three orange-red fireworks rose into the air from behind Zhao Ning, and suddenly exploded in the pitch-black mid-air, scattering into clusters of cyan fireworks. Fireworks of this color are a signal unique to the Governor's Mansion and are known to the world.

Twenty Zhao cultivators rushed out of the alley in an instant, and naturally split into two groups on the long street, one towards the gambling house and the other towards another nearby target, a large mansion.

The two teams were assisted by the cultivators of the Yipinlou and the Sanqing Sword, and there were also soldiers from the Governor's Mansion to follow up, and after getting close to the target, they were divided into two teams again, and suddenly rushed to the gambling house and mansion from the two wings in an encirclement.

In front of the gambling house, Zhao Qiyue, who was in the middle position, jumped high on the ground in front of the gambling house, only to see a vicious and hideous tiger head phantom on the shining mountain axe, and in the roar of a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, the mountain opening axe suddenly split down with the momentum of opening the mountain and breaking the river, and directly collapsed the roof of the gambling house!

The green tiles shattered and shot out, the broken wood collapsed inward, and the smoke and dust were everywhere, and Zhao Qiyue's petite and mighty figure rushed straight into the messy third floor.
