Li Zhen returned to the temporary station of Baishui Town with his subordinates, and as soon as he entered the door, Zhao Qiuniang stepped forward quickly and whispered to Li Zhen: "Shangqing Lou encountered Wu Furong's people, we went a step late, four died, and Xie Daogu was also seriously injured. ”

Li Zhen didn't enter the county seat, and he didn't know about the birth in the county, he was shocked in his heart, and asked urgently: "Where is she now?"

"Healing in the backyard, her life has been saved, and there is no major problem for the time being"

Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, walked quickly to the back house, walked into the ward, and saw Di Yan sitting in front of a bed, on the bed lay Daogu Xie Ying, her face was pale, and it seemed that she was not lightly injured, and on the bed on the left side of the screen not far away, there was a Shangqinglou warrior, he was fine, only slightly injured, but the other surviving warrior died of his injuries.

Li Zhen stepped forward, Di Yan hurriedly stood up, waved her hand and whispered, "She just fell asleep." ”

Li Zhen looked down at Xie Ying, turned around and walked outside, Di Yan also followed, and said to Li Zhen with a smile: "Although there are heavy casualties in Shangqing Tower tonight, Wu Furong was also hit hard, we lost twelve people, and Wu Furong also had one of my ears cut off." ”

"You might as well kill her," Li Zhen shook his head and smiled.

"What, do you sympathize with her?" Di Yan glared at Li Zhen fiercely.

"What do I sympathize with her? She's a woman, and having one ear cut off is disfigured, and I'm just afraid she'll not let you go. ”

"I'm still afraid of her?"

Di Yan sneered, "If I hadn't considered the consequences today, I would have killed her with a sword, and this slut would have died at my hands sooner or later." ”

Li Zhen was thinking that Wu Furong's people had suffered heavy losses, in this way, Wu Furong was likely to withdraw from the Fangzhou dispute, which was a good thing, he thought about it and smiled at Di Yan: "I'm going to Longling Villa now, will you go with me?"

"Now?" Di Yan looked at the night in amazement.

Zhao Qiuniang also stepped forward to persuade: "There are murderous opportunities outside, it's best not to go out at night, and it's not too late for the commander to visit tomorrow." ”

Li Zhen shook his head and smiled: "I'm not going to visit them, I want to take advantage of the night to spy on the movements of Longling Mountain Villa." ”

"Why don't I take someone with me?"

"It's better for me to go by myself, and bring a few more skilled subordinates, I have Princess Wei's token, even if it is revealed, it doesn't matter. ”

Di Yan's heart was also eager, it turned out that she was going to explore the villa, of course she was willing to go, she hurriedly smiled and said: "This kind of thing is indispensable to me, I will go with you"

"Pack up, we'll be right away. ”

Longling Villa is located in the southwest of Fangling County, not far from Baishui Town, because it is named after a slender mountain ridge called Longling, the villa is also long and narrow, it is the largest villa in Fangzhou, covering an area of more than 100 hectares, belonging to a giant merchant surnamed Jia, but in fact it is the property of the Wei family.

The Wei family is a Chang'an family, has a history of thousands of years, and has a huge prestige in the Guanzhong region, and it is for this reason that Wu Zetian will choose a concubine from the Wei family as his daughter-in-law, although Princess Wei was deposed to Fangzhou with her husband, but the Wei family did not sink because of this, on the contrary, their power also spread to Fangzhou.

Longling Villa is the foundation of the Wei family in Fangzhou, there are large farmlands and forests stretching for dozens of miles at the foot of the mountain, there are dozens of buildings in the villa, but the gate of the villa is closed for many years, and few people enter, which makes the villa shrouded in a layer of mystery.

It was already the third watch of the night, and the fog was rising, and the gray fog of early spring shrouded the vast fields and woods, and the sky was low with thick dark clouds, making the vision extremely blurred.

Li Zhen and Di Yan led three agile internal guard warriors through the dense woods and came to the outside of the high walls of the mountain villa, on the other side of the woods, Zhao Qiuniang was leading nearly twenty internal guard warriors to prepare to meet them.

Although Princess Wei promised to temporarily hand over the command of the Wei family's warriors to Li Zhen, Li Zhen was not too relieved, Princess Wei understood the overall situation and knew that the situation was unfavorable, but her two nephews may not know that if they disobeyed the yin and yang and broke the big thing, it would also affect him Li Zhen, so Li Zhen decided to explore the details of the villa first, how many warriors are hidden in the villa?

On the other hand, he also needs to give a warning to the Merriam-Webster brothers.

Li Zhen waved his hand slightly, Di Yan and the three warriors stopped, Li Zhen pointed to the top of the big tree to a warrior, the warrior understood, quickly climbed up the tree, hid in the dense branches, and observed the movement around him.

After a while, the warrior imitated the night owl and shouted twice, indicating that there was nothing abnormal, Li Zhen immediately took out the bow and arrow, put on a long arrow tied to a thin rope, and threw it at a wooden pillar on the side of the wall, the arrow bounced on the wooden pillar and fell from the other side, Li Zhen tied the rope to the string, pulled the string on the arrow, and bypassed the rope around the wooden pillar above.

At this time, Di Yan rushed forward, grabbed the rope and leaned lightly, and then quickly climbed to the high wall with the help of the rope, and climbed up the high wall in just a moment, at this time, a black mastiff in the wall pounced on this side, out of a beast-like low roar, Di Yan's eyes were quick, he pulled out a short sword and threw it hard, without waiting for the mastiff to bark, it had been inserted into the head with the short sword, and died on the ground.

Di Yan breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand to Li Zhen, Li Zhen also quickly climbed the high wall, and the other two warriors followed Li Zhen up the wall, at this time Di Yan had jumped off the wall and dived into the villa, Li Zhen was worried that she would lose, so he ordered the two warriors to say a few words, and also jumped off the high wall and followed closely.

The villa was full of big trees, giving them a place to hide, at this time, a team of patrolmen came in the distance, Li Zhen was anxious to find Di Yan, but heard Di Yan's voice overhead, "Come up"

As soon as he looked up, he saw that Di Yan was already hiding in a big tree, and he hurriedly climbed up, squatting behind her, and he involuntarily reached out to hug her slender waist.

At this time, several patrolmen walked under the big tree, Di Yan didn't dare to struggle, but she hated it in her heart, this guy was taking advantage of herself She bit her lip, turned up her slender nails, and pinched his arm.

Li Zhen was in pain, but he didn't dare to say anything, and when the family was far away, he smiled and whispered: "I'm afraid that you will fall off the tree-"

"Flim-tongued guy. ”

Di Yan scolded him, but he opened his nails lightly, slapped his hands, and said in a low voice: "Not now, don't make a mistake"

Li Zhen was overjoyed in his heart, not now, can he just go back? He let go of Di Yan's waist, Di Yan glared at him, and said angrily: "It's not okay to go back, don't think nonsense"

Li Zhen smiled bitterly, turned around and looked into the villa, only to see that there were large buildings distributed in the villa, and on the right was a flat training ground, covering an area of hundreds of acres.

But at this moment, a violent dog barking was suddenly heard in the distance, followed by someone shouting: "Someone has sneaked into the villa"

Li Zhen was taken aback, had they been revealed? Another thought, no, the shout came from at least a hundred steps away, and his two men were on the other side, it was impossible to run over there.

Di Yan also said in a low voice: "There are other people who have infiltrated the villa, should we evacuate?"

Li Zhen nodded, and the two jumped off the tree and ran towards the high wall, but they only ran a dozen steps, and suddenly a family member appeared in front of him, holding a long sword, and he was also running towards this side.

Li Zhen and Di Yan couldn't stop their feet, and just happened to take a look at this family, who was stunned for a moment, and instinctively shouted: "Someone-"

The latter words were not shouted, Li Zhen jumped up, knocked him to the ground, snatched the long sword from his hand, and struck him on the head with the hilt of the sword, and the family suddenly fainted.

"Let's go, someone's coming"

Di Yan was now in the distance with a few people running towards this side with torches, she hurriedly pushed Li Zhen, Li Zhen carried the family on his shoulder, picked up the long sword, and followed Di Yanxun to the high wall, at this time, two subordinates came up, and one of his subordinates said: "Commander, just now a few black shadows also climbed over the wall and entered." ”

Li Zhen nodded, and handed over the fainted family to them, "Take this person out, and we will withdraw immediately."

With the help of ropes, they quickly climbed over the high wall, called the soldiers who were standing guard in the tall trees outside, and the five of them ran into the woods, and soon disappeared into the thick fog.

More than 100 warriors, led by the brothers Wei Bo and Wei Song, carried torches to search for people who had broken into the villa, but they only found the body of a man in black by the wall, who had been bitten by a mastiff and could not escape, with a poisoned arrow stuck in his chest, and it seemed that he had been killed by his companions.

A samurai stepped forward and reported: "Qi Qi two sons, this person only has a long sword, and there are no more items on him. ”

The Wei brothers glanced at each other, both of them showed worried looks, their hiding place had been exposed, and at this time, two more warriors came to report: "Qi Yu Gongzi, there are traces of people sneaking in a hundred steps away, and one of our brothers is missing." ”

The Wei brothers immediately realized that the problem was serious, and if the missing subordinates confessed, wouldn't their details be leaked? Wei Bo was so anxious that he said viciously: "Whether it is missing or hidden, immediately check it out for me."

Li Zhen had already returned to the temporary station in Baishui Town, and the time was almost the fourth watch, Di Yan couldn't stand the drowsiness and went to sleep first, while Li Zhen paced back and forth in the room, waiting for the results of the interrogation.

He saw the Wei family's warrior station with his own eyes tonight, but what worried him was that there were other people who also revealed the Wei family's secrets, which complicated the situation, so who would be those black-clothed people tonight?

Intuition told Li Zhen that it was very likely to be Wu Sansi, because Wu Sansi had been spying on Li Xian, and if he didn't have some evidence, he wouldn't dare to tell Wu Zetian.

At this time, Zhao Qiuniang hurriedly walked into the door and bowed to Li Zhen, "Commander Qiqi, the interrogation has ended." ”

"What do you say?" Li Zhen turned around and asked.

"Longling Villa is indeed the Wei family's secret stronghold in Fangzhou, and there are three hundred warriors stationed in it, more than eighty percent of whom are locals. ”

Sure enough, he guessed correctly, more than eighty percent of them are locals, how many of them are recruited from the disaster victims? Or are the people recruited from the disaster victims not among them, Li Zhen pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What else did you confess?"

"And they were about to leave Fangzhou for Hanzhong yesterday, but they turned around and came back after leaving, and he didn't know the specific reason. ”

"There are only 300 people in total, or is it far more than 300 people, and the current 300 people are just one of them?" Li Zhen asked again.

"There should have been only three hundred of them. ”

"I see"

Li Zhen nodded and said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard today, you let the brothers go to rest, and tomorrow we will officially visit the villa." ”

"Does the commander want to wait for Li Chongrun to come over first, doesn't he want the gold medal in his hand?"

Li Zhen took out a gold medal and said with a slight smile: "Actually, Li Chongrun gave me the gold medal yesterday, he is much smarter than I thought, in fact, I hope that Princess Wei will say hello to her two nephews first." ”
