Chapter 183: Backyard

Less than a moment away, the shopkeeper finally knocked on the door tremblingly, and gave a rough report on the news in the city.

There is nothing unusual in the city of Langzhou, since Li Yuan returned to the Jiedu Embassy from the Chengdong Post House last night, he has not gone out at this moment. In front of the gate of the government office, the civil and military officials have gathered, not only are there many soldiers, but also many people who are watching the excitement are lingering around, after all, it is a rare event for His Royal Highness King Zheng to come in person, which is also normal.

It's just that the hour is approaching, and many maids and servants go in and out at the gate, holding all kinds of ceremonial things, which are naturally for the purpose of driving.

As for the streets and alleys around the government office, even around the South Pavilion, hundreds of Wuping sergeants have come one after another to patrol at this moment, and regular checkpoints have been set up to check passing cars, horses and pedestrians, but all these are routine arrangements, and there is nothing strange about it. Yang Shifan and the others had already thought of this, otherwise they would not have used the food delivery cart in Ju Nan Pavilion as a cover.

After all, as far as he knew, the officials and people in the city all knew Li Yuan's care for Ju Nan Pavilion, and these Wuping sergeants were sensible, and they basically wouldn't stop the carriages and horses of Ju Nan Pavilion when they set up checkpoints in the past, not to mention that in their eyes, what danger could a cart full of meat and vegetables have? Even if there are different intentions, how can they succeed in the face of the heavily guarded Jiedu Embassy? So he often made a show and let it pass......

All in all, the words of the shopkeeper mean that everything is normal, and there is nothing unusual in the slightest.

So Yang Shifan and the others put their minds at ease and decided not to change the original plan. Everyone has firmly remembered all the deployments, no more dissent, each sat silently, sorted out the equipment and blades, and by the way, took advantage of this short moment, closed their eyes to recuperate, waiting for the sun to rise and the hour to come.

The light in the sky is getting more and more intense, and the hexagonal cornices of the Wuping Jiedu Embassy Office have been spread out one after another on the hexagonal cornices of the various corridors. The whole mansion instantly became full of joy and brilliance, and the soldiers of Wuping who were guarding the door also maintained a tall posture, holding a spear or pressing a sword, and his face was solemn and unmoving.

Everything was tense and orderly, and the maids kept walking through the gate and outside, their heads bowed and their steps hurried. The musicians who have been recruited from the side are also busy tuning the strings and preparing for the upcoming performance, and the crisp and loud sounds of various instruments are endless.

In front of the Jiedu Embassy, there have been many officials' carriages and horses arriving one after another, and after getting off the car, there are naturally guards from the government office to check their bodies, and then the maids come from the money, and after the salute, they are ready to take them into the palace to sit and drink tea.

Although all the civil officials who received the invitation understood that they were just supporting roles for the occasion today, and because of Li Dashuai's face, they would congratulate those generals when the time came, but as people in the officialdom, everyone had the same tacit understanding.

The so-called appearance has to be a full set, and today it is not only for Li Yuan to see, but also for His Royal Highness King Zheng of the current dynasty, after all, almost all the colleagues present are old officials in Langzhou, so it is still necessary to show loyalty.

Therefore, all the civil officials did not accept the guidance of these maids and servants of the government office, and stood in front of the palace in front of the palace in the face of the sun for the legitimate reason of courtesy, chatting and talking with each other's greetings and compliments, while waiting for the arrival of His Royal Highness King Zheng's honor guard.

These officials, who were some of the leaders in Langzhou City, did not wait too long, and soon there was a crowd in front of the gate, and all those who should and should not have arrived had arrived.

When Li Congjia, the king of Zheng, arrived majestically with hundreds of forbidden army guards, a group of officials hurriedly stood up to greet him, leaning over with a natural smile on his face, and doing his best to exaggerate his abilities.

Everyone soon surrounded King Zheng and the others and walked to the wide stone steps of the government office, laughing all the way to the palace. Silk and bamboo melodious sounds all around, musicians played festive Chu music, and the Wuping sergeants were successively removed from their posts in front of the mansion and replaced by high-spirited guards of the Praetorian Army.

......

On the street south of the South Pavilion, ten dark shadows were lurking on two carts full of wine, meat, and vegetables, waiting quietly. Through the very narrow gap, you can barely see countless figures flickering. Separated by the layers of wooden planks of the cart, the voices of people not far away are sometimes delivered to the ears, and they are accompanied by the melodious music of silk and bamboo, as if they are in a flashy atmosphere.

As if with the help of heaven, after a group of Wuping sergeants waved perfunctorily, the two carts of Ju Nange followed the familiar route in the past, and soon arrived at the side gate of the Jiedu Embassy Office smoothly.

Li Guanxiang, the guard in charge of this gate today, really did not break his promise, the surrounding walls were empty, and the people hidden in the cart looked for an opportunity to appear, and soon got into through the half-hidden wooden door.

Quietly walking less than ten steps in the mansion, a burly figure suddenly appeared at the corner behind the door, and the person who came was Li Guanxiang, the guard general of the Wuping Jiedu Embassy.

"How's it going in the Frontrooms?" Yang Shifan asked in a low voice, his voice was dull and cold.

Xu was helplessly tied to the same boat, Li Guanxiang smiled reluctantly: "All the guests have arrived, it is estimated that His Royal Highness King Zheng will announce the decree soon!" Li Dashuai led all the generals to wait in the front hall......"

"What about the three hundred guards under you?" Liu Ju asked coldly.

Li Guanxiang's eyes hesitated for a while, and then he replied: "The three hundred guards near the side gate and the backyard have all been transferred to the east gate to guard under the pretense of being ordered by the Shangguan half an hour ago......

In short, you should be able to follow this corridor to the backyard unimpeded, but there are still a few hidden cards on the way from the front hall to the backyard, and even I don't know the details, so it's better not to make too much noise when you move, lest you ......be exposed too soon."

"We'll pay attention! Act now. Yang Shifan's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he gave a decisive order, stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword at his waist, and there was a soft sound, and everyone had already held all kinds of blades in their hands tightly.

Yang Shifan took the lead, moving forward under the mottled shadows of the trees and the verandah, except for Liu Ju and the two men who stayed behind the side door, the remaining six people were well-trained, no one said a word, and hurriedly followed, and soon crossed the corridor to the outside of the backyard wall.

Everyone stood close to the wall, their tall bodies seemed to be in line with the straightness of the wall, and they quietly listened to the movement inside the wall. In a few moments, several maids passed by the path inside the wall, chatting and making delicate noises as they went.

In the end, there was only a wall between the maids in the wall, and Yang Shifan decisively stretched out his hand and gestured silently in the air. The figures of the other six people flashed almost at the same time, and the three of them conveniently stepped on the shoulders of the other three and took the lead in climbing over.

The maids on the path inside the wall are all weak ordinary girls, where can they react, just when they heard a strange noise in their heads, they subconsciously looked at the wall, but unfortunately, they didn't see what the picture was in front of them, accompanied by the sharp sound of breaking the air in their ears, but it was too late to let out any exclamations in their mouths.

In an instant, each of the three maids had a flesh-deep scar on their heads. Soon, another cold light followed, flickering above the heads of the maids who had long since lost their ability to resist, and in an instant the three poor young girls were in different places.

As soon as Yang Shifan landed, the long sword in his hand slashed three people in a row, and the originally bright blade dripped with beads of blood, reflecting a strange and colorful light in the sun.

Yang Shifan looked at the long wall with an expressionless face, and had already expected in his heart that anyone who was close to the wall would be killed, after all, this place was still on the edge of the backyard, and it was still closer to the front hall.

The seven slowly dispersed and advanced, the swords in their hands kept waving, and several nearby peripheral courtyards bore the brunt, and many of the maids who lived here were mercilessly slaughtered by those who were lying in the shadows, regardless of their age and appearance.

Occasionally, the exclamator often did not finish a sentence, and the throat was filled with blood mist, lying on the cold ground with his eyes wide open in horror.

My Healing Game

All these terrible scenes happened in a moment, Rao is a battle-hardened soldier, and it was easy to deal with these powerless girls, and the seven of them committed suicide without interfering with each other.

In a short period of time, the seven of them killed more than 20 maids.

When they finally gathered in a courtyard full of flowers and plants, the six people who came in a hurry looked at the five headless corpses on the ground in a daze.

"It should be clean outside." Yang Shifan leaned over the corpse of a young girl and wiped the blood on the sword, and then said in a cold voice: "Next, you have to grab a sharp tongue and lead the way to find people, don't kill people when you see them." ”

"Brother Yang, it seems that there is not a single male in this backyard! Hehe, I see that the maidservants in this house are quite good-looking, it's a pity to kill so many......" A man suddenly licked his chapped lips and lowered his head and smiled lewdly.

Yang Shifan frowned and shouted in a low voice: "Shut up! Don't miss a big deal! ”

The man hurriedly kept silent, and then followed closely in the footsteps of the crowd, as if Fang Cai's slaughter was too easy and boring, and kept his eyes thirsty.
