At night, the dark and dreary night shrouded Shenjing City, and at the second watch, it was silent, and people were asleep in their dreams.

Qianqing Palace, in the dormitory, Zhu Qinde, the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, could not sleep for a long time at this time, he was still wearing his daytime clothes, pacing back and forth in the dormitory hall with his hands behind his back, his eyes looked anxiously at the door of the palace from time to time, he was a little anxious, and he was also a little worried, if the thing taken out of the Xue family's pawnshop was really as he imagined, it was the account book that recorded the bribery of officials from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang families lost in the Song Qian's mansion, how should he deal with Jia Jue and kill him?

Emperor Tianyou sighed, some regrets, maybe he shouldn't do this, at this moment, he hoped in his heart that it was not what he imagined, what Jia Jue saved in the pawnshop was only some gold, silver and jewelry, or some shady letters, as long as it was not those account books.

At this moment, in Xicheng Zhongwu Bo's Mansion, Jia Jue's study was still brightly lit, after freshening up, he put on his armor, and had been closing his eyes on the chair in front of the book, after experiencing last night's events, Jia Jue realized that there is no impermeable wall in the world, especially the Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyi Wei secret agents all over Shenjing will definitely find a way to explore their study, because the emperor wants to know what is here to make people so interested.

Jia Jue sensed the crisis, and he had to solve the matter quickly, otherwise it would be troublesome, he didn't care, but there were many people in the Jia family, and he was worried that these people would hit them with their ideas.

Early in the morning, he loaded the account books taken from the Song Qian's Mansion and some of the secret files taken from the Zhou Mansion into the carriage, ready to send them out of the city, as expected, there were people watching them along the way, and there was more than one force, so Jia Jue changed his mind, selected some of the secret files from the West Factory and sent them to the secret room of Hengshudian, and transferred these secret files to the box that Zhu Zaiyan kept anonymously in the secret room.

Hehe, Zhu Zaiyan really thinks he doesn't know what his idea is?

I really thought that his every move escaped his own eyeliner, you know, there are several Jia family scout camp scouts in Hengshudian, and even the Xue family who was bought by Nanzhen Fusi has been under surveillance, and when he learned that he took the initiative to ask for a vigil, Jia Jue understood that Dongchang would do it tonight.

In order to make the whole thing more reasonable, Jia Jue arranged for people to intercept and kill these successful Dongchang fans halfway and blame the Zhongshun Palace.

It would be perfect if Zhu Zaiyan also chose to do it at this time, but unfortunately, the defense of the Zhongshun Mansion was too tight, the needle could not be inserted, the water could not be splashed, and even the Beizhen Fusi had no choice.

Jia Fu also changed into armor, walked in at this time, and walked lightly in front of Jia Jue, "Third master, it's the third watch, it is estimated that those people will not come, you go back to the back house to rest!" ”

"Is Jia Gui back?"

Jia Jue didn't reply to his words, and asked rhetorically.

"Nope."

"There's nothing wrong with being careful, I always feel like something is going to happen tonight."

Jia Fu was stunned for a moment, somewhat understood what he meant, and immediately replied: "Third master, don't worry, Niu Er and the people are in the back street, there are people in the front yard and back garden, as long as they dare to come, I guarantee that none of them can run away!" ”

Although he knew their identity and purpose from the mouths of those captives, he did not ask where they were hiding, only that they still had a lot of manpower, and Jia Jue was worried that they would come again tonight, so he sat in the study with a stomach and waited.

"Family master, there's news from Dongcheng!"

A scout from the Jia family scout camp hurriedly ran over and excitedly handed a letter to Jia Jue, Jia Jue unfolded the letter and looked at it, his eyes slowly narrowed, and there were only two words on it: hostile movement.

This is the code word agreed between Jia Jue and Jia Gui, which means that there is movement in the stronghold of Zhongshun Wangfu opposite Hengshudian.

Jia Jue breathed a long sigh of relief, got up and came to the outside of the study, tonight the moonlight was clear, a crescent moon was bright and bright, he looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, and the corners of his mouth were covered with a trace of laugh lines.....

The moonlight shone silently, and the granary of the eastern city was shrouded in tranquility.

In an inn about 100 steps away diagonally opposite the granary, in a room on the second floor, two men sat in front of the window, their eyes closely watching the situation around the granary, from last night to now, they have been paying attention to the day and night, they have figured out the night patrol rules of the forbidden army on duty, "Look! The last group of the night guards went back. A man on the side whispered.

I saw a group of night patrol forbidden soldiers return to the camp, only four night watchmen were left at the door, and only one forbidden soldier was left on duty on the arrow tower.

"You go down and report to the commander, and get ready for action."

"Okay, you keep watching here."

In the backyard of the restaurant, several black-clothed people walked to the stables and began to untie the ropes of the horses, and put the carriages on the side as well

came over and looked at the busy black shadows, "Guest officer, it's only three watches, what are you doing?" ”

The men in black did not answer, but led their horses and walked towards him.

The little guy was shocked, "What are you .....?"

Suddenly, a man in black drew a large knife from his horse, and a flash of light flashed, and the little man's head flew out at once, and the oil lamp fell to the ground and rolled far away, igniting the grass in the stable.....

"What's that?"

The night guard on the arrow tower frowned slightly, and he instinctively leaned over to observe, and at this moment, a burst of fireworks rushed up in the diagonally opposite restaurant, immediately attracting their attention.

Suddenly, several black shadows rushed out from the darkness in front of them, running straight in the direction of the granary, "Who! The sentry guard on the arrow tower was the first to react and asked loudly.

The black shadow led by him opened his bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow towards the arrow tower, and the forbidden army fell down with his neck covered, "Up!" Kill them. The man in black shouted, opened his bow and arrows, and shot another arrow to the ground with a forbidden soldier in front of the gate, and more than a dozen men in black behind him also rushed up.

Suddenly, the piercing bell on the arrow tower rang loudly, "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! "It turned out that the arrow grazed the neck of the forbidden army and shot into the camp.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and a group of men in black crossed the street like lightning and galloped towards the gate of the granary.

Someone shouted: "It's out of the water!" Walk the water! ”

After a while, I heard the gong sound properly, "The restaurant is on fire, everyone come and put out the fire!" ”

Many people took to the streets, but most of them came to see the excitement.

"You divide into two teams and light fires around, and we attract those forbidden troops!"

The black-clothed man gave an order, dozens of black-clothed people rushed towards the granary with great speed, and at this moment the forbidden army in his sleep was also awakened, and hurriedly picked up his weapons and rushed out, these forbidden soldiers guarding the granary were brightly dressed and tall, but in fact, one by one did not know how to fight at all, as soon as they appeared, arrows were shot like raindrops, those black-clothed people had already prepared, and the forbidden army did not expect the other party's arrow rain to be so powerful, and twenty or thirty people were killed and injured for a while.

As more and more forbidden troops arrived, the men in black had casualties, they immediately dispersed, rushing to the granary from several directions, the forbidden army wanted to disperse to deal with them, and soon the two sides started a scuffle, those men in black set the granary on fire, and the flames suddenly soared into the sky.

"General, they're here for the rations!"

A Praetorian general shouted.

Hearing this, the face of the forbidden guerrilla changed greatly, and with a wave of his hand, he viciously ordered: "Kill!" ”

Suddenly, scolding and screaming rang out.

The granary shouted and killed, there was a fire, the sound came out for several miles, on the street, the people who ran out to see the excitement fled home in fright, there was no one on the street, only to see the smoke billowing from the restaurant, the fire was getting bigger and bigger....

In the backyard of the shop opposite Heng Shudian, a hundred sturdy men stood in most of the courtyard, with their waists straight, listening to the lecture of the captain of the guards of the Zhongshun Palace, "You often say that you want to avenge the second son, but the person who killed the second son is not something you can provoke.....

"We're not afraid!"

"Yes, the second son treats us like brothers, and this revenge must be avenged!"

"Even the emperor Lao'er can kill ....."

"That's it!"

The captain of the guard waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about this matter, now the prince needs your help with something, after this matter, we don't owe each other, of course, those who don't want to leave can continue to stay, become a palace guard like me, and eat the court's money." ”

Everyone exclaimed, everyone's eyes showed a touch of consternation, they are all outlaws, many of them are also wanted by the government in their hometown, if they can become palace guards, mixed with the official body..... I can wake up laughing when I dream.

"Do you see the pawnshop on the other side?"

The captain of the guard waved his hand and pointed in the direction of Heng Shudian, "The task is very simple, just rush into Heng Shudian and take out the things that the prince needs." ”

As he spoke, he took out the drawing from his bosom again, "This is the design drawing, and all the mechanisms are marked in it, so there is no danger." ”

"I want to serve the son!"

"I want to serve the son!"

“......”

The captain of the guard was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to one of the guards, "Go and see the situation outside." ”

After a while, the guards hurried over and reported: "The granary has been moved, and the fire is soaring!" ”

"Good!"

The captain of the guard waved his hand, "Fight quickly." ”

......

Because the spies of Nanzhen Fusi closed all the organs in advance, and drugged the tea, Dongchang Fanzi's actions were very smooth, in order not to make mistakes, they checked all the boxes in the secret room, as long as the account books were all packed and taken away, and also found the account books to register the source of these books.

The director of the East Factory looked at the three boxes of account books in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and finally completed the emperor's errand.

At this moment, there was a rush of running outside, which woke him up at once.

"What's the matter?" He asked, a little unhappily.

"My lord, things have changed."

"What!"

"The grain depot on the side of Chongwenmen was attacked, and all the forbidden troops who originally received us rushed to support."

"Who's giving the order?!"

"General Li!"

"Li Xian?"

A fierce look flashed in the principal's eyes, and he immediately ordered: "Without further ado, let's withdraw quickly!" ”

A group of Dongchang fans ran to the front yard street with three large mahogany boxes.

A dramatic scene happened at this time, the gate of Heng Shudian and the door of the opposite shop opened at the same time, and a group of people poured out of each of them, and they bumped into each other.

Thirty Dongchang fans were frightened and scattered, and they returned to Hengshudian one after another, but they couldn't leave, and the street was densely packed with men with long knives, more than 100 people, these fans were back to back, huddled together.

At this time, the head of the leading Dongchang appeared, he was so nervous that his heart was pounding, his hand held the handle of the knife almost sweating, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

In the dark, the captain of the palace guard came over with a few guards, looked at these Dongchang fans in night clothes, his face changed greatly, and he immediately asked loudly: "Who are you?" ”

The head of the East Factory looked at the armor on their bodies, and his face changed, and he whispered to the fan beside him, "Quickly send a signal for help!" ”

Na Fanzi pulled out three signal fireworks from the cowhide pouch around his waist, shook the fire fold and lit the twist.

Three signal fireworks swished into the night sky, exploding three times in the air, releasing brilliant sparks.

Three fireworks dazzle in the night sky.

The captain's face changed drastically, he took a few steps back, waved his hand, and viciously ordered: "Kill!" ”

A hundred outlaws swarmed up and killed with their knives, but they underestimated the combat power of this group of fans, and as soon as they made a move, several men were cut to the ground, and the terrible screams pierced the silent night and spread hundreds of paces away.

Although there were a large number of people on the side of the Zhongshun Palace, a group of fans relied on the gate to block the several rushes of these outlaws, and they could only surround the front door of Hengshudian, at this time, the captain of the guard also calmed down, and immediately ordered: "Go in over the wall and attack them from the backyard." ”

As soon as the words fell, immediately thirty people climbed over the wall and entered Heng Shudian, after a while, the courtyard shouted and killed, the captain of the guard looked at Heng Shudian coldly, thinking about how to retreat, he knew that the surrounding forbidden army and soldiers and horses had gone to support the granary, and the only one who could come to support this place was the forbidden army of Dong'anmen, but it would take a stick of incense at the earliest, enough!

The head of the Dongchang did not expect these people to be so cunning, more than half of the casualties were killed and injured for a while, and the rest were suppressed in the gatehouse, but although the people of the Zhongshun Wangfu were all outlaws, they did not understand the tactics, but with the strength of a bravery, they were soon blocked by the reorganized Dongchang Fanzi, and the two sides killed back and forth.

The battle was still going on, the captain of the guard became more and more desperate, he found that he was wrong, the opposite side was definitely not the old soldiers of the forbidden army, but the elite with actual combat experience, these outlaws under his command were killed one by one by people through the narrow gatehouse, and now there are less than sixty people left, corpses are all over the ground, thinking about the punishment he will face after defeat, he yells, "Set fire!" ”

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder came, and the captain of the guard knew that something was wrong, and then a sentry guard ran to this side, shouting loudly: "Not good, there is a large cavalry rushing this way!" ”

Before he could say a word, an arrow "Whoosh!" "The ground shot the guard, and the captain's heart sank into the abyss, and the support came so quickly?

At this time, hundreds of forbidden cavalry had already arrived dozens of steps away, and the Shenwu general Feng Tang took the lead, he opened his bow and arrows, and a sharp arrow roared out, and a Zhongshun palace guard fell to the ground in response.

These outlaws couldn't take care of too much, and immediately fled in another direction, but in the face of the forbidden cavalry armed with bows and arrows, everything was in vain, no matter how fast they were, the arrows shot by the forbidden army missed, and in an instant, the arrows rained down.....

With the arrival of the forbidden army, the head of the Dongchang factory breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, Feng Tang led the cavalry of the forbidden army to surround him, looked at the dozen embarrassed black-clothed people, and asked, "Is it the signal you put for help?" ”

The head of the East Factory took off the black cloth, took a few steps forward, and arched his hand: "Thank you General Shenwu for coming to support, the miscellaneous family will truthfully report to General Dai." ”

As he spoke, he took out a Dongchang token from his arms and raised it, "If today's matter leaks out of the news, cut it!" ”

Looking at the three words Heng Shudian on the door plaque, Feng Tang couldn't wait to give himself two big mouths, so he quickly turned around and pretended not to see it.

The voice of the head of the East Factory sounded again, "Trouble General Shenwu to help the miscellaneous family escort these three boxes of things into the palace." ”

Not long after Feng Tang and the others left, the lights in a room on the second floor of the restaurant diagonally opposite Heng Shudian were lit, and Jia Gui showed a strange smile on his face, and lowered his head and wrote two words on the note in front of him: Send out.

"The Sword Comes"
