Yang Peng said to Han Bing, who was still in a daze: "Help!" Immediately, he dragged the two corpses down the corridor with one hand, and Han Bing also came over to help. Dragged all six corpses into the rockery by the corridor, Yang Peng quickly removed the armor from one corpse. Han Bing understood Yang Peng's intentions, and was overjoyed, so he immediately did so. The two changed into soldiers' armor. Yang Peng stood in the shadow of the rockery and looked at the gate in the distance, and saw that many officers and soldiers had gathered at the gate, and the light of the torches illuminated the vicinity of the gate as if it were day. Han Bing frowned and said, "The gate is heavily guarded, even if we wear this armor, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out!" ”

Yang Peng smiled, "Come with me, I'll deal with everything, don't talk." Then he walked out of the rockery, and Han Bing hurriedly followed before he could think about it. The two walked straight to the gate, Han Bing found that there were all soldiers in helmets and armor around him, and he was inevitably a little nervous, and at the same time, he was also very curious about how Yang Peng could get out of here?

An officer-looking man stopped them, "What man?" Yang Peng raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Taishi ordered the two of us to go to the city defense army for help, get out of the way!" Seeing that Yang Peng's attitude was so arrogant, the officer felt that it should be a cronie beside the Taishi, and heard him say that he was ordered to go out for help, so he immediately ordered his sergeants to get out of the way and open the gate. The sergeants got out of the way and opened the gates. Yang Peng led Han Bing quickly through the sergeants and walked out of the gate. The door then closed behind them.

Seeing that he escaped from the tiger's mouth so easily, Han Bing felt both incredible and admired Yang Peng very much. Yang Peng led Han Bing quickly towards a dark alley in the distance. At this time, the hustle and bustle in the Taishi's Mansion and the sound of fighting still kept coming, mixed with the screams of people before they died. There were hurried footsteps approaching in the distant streets, and the firelight was flickering, it should be that the city defense army had discovered the movement in the Taishi Mansion and rushed to reinforce it.

When he was about to enter the alley, several black-clad masked people suddenly rushed out of the alley. Han Bing was taken aback when he saw it, and immediately pulled out his sword. Yang Peng pressed Han Bing, "My own people." Several black-clothed people on the opposite side clasped their fists at Yang Peng and bowed: "Master." Then the black-clothed masked man at the head said: "We thought that something had happened to the master, and we were about to kill it!" ”

Yang Peng said: "That's not me. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, so retreat quickly. "Yes." The crowd walked swiftly along the alley, and in the cold moonlight, they could not see it at all, as if there were many blurred shadows. The man who was so frightened that he almost peed his pants finally regained a little courage, raised his head, pushed open a little window, and looked outside, he was a little suspicious that he was dazzled before? Before I knew it, I saw many blurred black shadows flying through the alley outside the backyard of my house. The man's eyes widened and he screamed, and his body fell to the bed, and then his woman smelled a smell of urine, and then found that her man actually urinated, wetting a large part of the bed. The woman was angry and scolded angrily.

Yang Peng and the others quickly came to the entrance of the alley, and at this time, a group of city defense troops on the street outside the alley was running quickly from a distance. Yang Peng gestured to his subordinates, and everyone immediately hid in the darkness and held their breath. At this point, if you don't get close enough, you won't notice anyone in the alley at all.

As soon as Yang Peng and the others were hidden, the city defense army ran over from the street outside, and they couldn't find anyone hiding in the alley next to them. When the footsteps were far away, Yang Peng and the others came out of the shadows, crossed the street, and prepared to enter the alley opposite. However, at this moment, a group of patrolmen turned around from the corner of the street on the left, and happened to see Yang Peng and them. The city defense army was shocked and shouted one after another, and at the same time, nearly a hundred people rushed over, ready to arrest Chen Xiao and them.

Yang Peng frowned, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't leave your mouth alive!" The black-clothed men immediately took out the half-moon flying blades and threw them at the rushing officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers only felt the cold light flying in front of them, and before they could understand what was going on, they fell in a large area. The rest of the people were so shocked that they couldn't help but stop moving forward. Only then did they realize that the number of men in black was very large, and the number was not less than them at all.

The men in black drew their long knives and rushed into the middle of the officers and soldiers like fierce beasts, killing them. Where are these officers and soldiers who usually eat and wait for death to be hidden opponents, and most of them fell in a pool of blood in the blink of an eye. The rest were so frightened that they fled for their lives, but they were killed by the half-moon flying blades shot from behind. Nearly 100 officers and men of the city defense department did not slip through the net. Han Bing's face was full of shock, and the terrifying combat power of these black-clothed people greatly shocked her!

The crowd quickly left the scene, leaving only nearly a hundred corpses lying in pools of blood. The surrounding city guards rushed to the scene when they heard the movement, and they were stunned by the scene in front of them, and everyone only felt a chill down their backs. Yang Peng and the others quickly came to the back gate of the General's Mansion along an inaccessible alley. Zhang Yan and the others, who were waiting at the back door, hurriedly led Yang Peng and them into the mansion, and then dozens of secret guards in armor came out and cleaned up the traces left by Chen Xiao and them along the alley.

Yang Peng handed over Han Bing to Yang Jiumei, and he and his brothers entered the study. Chen Jie couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, what happened?" Why is there such a big movement from the Taishi Mansion? We thought that something had happened to the eldest brother, if Zhang Yan hadn't stopped us, we would have rushed over! ”

Yang Peng looked at Zhang Yan and said approvingly: "You did a great job!" Turning his head to look at Chen Jie, "If you rush over, things will be in trouble!" You must not have imagined that another group of people sneaked into the Taishi Mansion tonight! Several people were taken aback when they heard this, and Chen Jie asked curiously, "Who is it?" ”

Zhang Yan thought of Han Bing, who had just come back with Yang Peng, and he and Chen Jie had seen Han Bing when they were in Beijing before. Zhang Yan frowned and said, "Could it be Han Bing?" Chen Jie also thought of Han Bing, and hurriedly looked at Yang Peng.

Yang Peng said: "It's not just her, it's a large group of people in black. I suspect they went to assassinate Master Pang. But looking at the movement, it shouldn't have succeeded. Okay, we'll talk about that later. "Look at Zhang Yan," bring that bird's-eye view. Zhang Yan immediately took the bird's-eye view provided by Qian Xiaoer and spread it on the bookcase.

Yang Peng picked up the brush and carefully marked it on the bird's-eye view, marked the guards and sentry posts in the Taishi Mansion, and finally marked the location of the treasure house. Put down the brush and raised his head, "This operation went fairly well for me," pointing to the treasure house, "Qian Xiaoer's intelligence is not wrong, Pang Taishi's treasure house is indeed here." ”

The three of them showed joy, and Chen Jie said excitedly: "Then you can start the action, right?" Zhang Yan looked at the drawings and frowned: "I'm afraid it's not easy!" The garrison of the Taishi Mansion is very tight! Raising his head and looking at Yang Peng, he said very worriedly: "After such a commotion tonight, I am afraid that the garrison of the Taishi Mansion will be tighter, and not only that, but the vigilance of the entire capital will also increase." In this case, if you want to attack the Taishi's Mansion to seize the treasure, and then transport it out of the city, this is simply an impossible task! ”

Chen Jie realized these problems and frowned, "Do you want to cancel the operation?" Yang Peng's face was thoughtful. Zhang Yan said: "Maybe I can sneak into the Taishi Mansion and look for opportunities, and the inside and outside should be together." The reason why Zhang Yan said this was because he was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he had met with Pang Taishi, and Pang Taishi praised him a lot.

Yang Peng shook his head, "No." It's hard not to expose yourself in this matter, and if you do, you're bound to implicate us, because everyone knows that you're now my subordinate. I don't want to tear my face with the court just yet. Zhang Yan felt that what Yang Peng said made sense, and frowned: "Then this matter will be difficult to do." ”

Yang Peng frowned and said, "I have to think about this matter." After a pause, he raised his head and said to the three brothers, "Go down and rest." The three of them clenched their fists and left the study. Yang Peng looked at the drawings in front of him and frowned.

There was footsteps at the door. Yang Peng raised his head and saw Yang Jiumei and Han Bing coming in. In the dim light, the two women looked very beautiful. Different from the softness of ordinary women, like two thorny roses, and like a Valkyrie from a legend. Yang Peng couldn't help but have a whim: If they were to wear the kind of women's sexy armor mixed with modern elements, I don't know how it would be moving? Yang Peng is looking forward to it.

"Big brother, Miss Han Bing said she wanted to see you." Yang Jiumei said. Yang Peng looked at Han Bing and asked with a smile, "Have you finished taking a bath?" Han Bing was stunned for a moment, then glared at Yang Peng with a blushing face, "I have something I want to ask you." Yang Peng nodded, "Actually, I also have something I want to ask you, so let's talk about it first." ”

Han Bing stared at Yang Peng and asked, "Why did you sneak into Master Pang's mansion?" Yang Peng stood up, walked up to Han Bing, and said with a smile: "Because I am short of money, and I heard that the old boy of Master Pang is very rich." As soon as these words came out, Han Bing and Yang Jiumei couldn't help laughing.

Han Bing snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "I didn't expect the famous General Yulinwei to be a money fan!" Yang Peng shrugged his shoulders, "There's no way, if I don't have money, I'm not a shit for General Yulinwei." Okay, I answered your question, now it's your turn to answer mine. ”

Han Bing said: "I know you want to ask us about the purpose of going to the Taishi Mansion, and I want to know who is the mastermind." I can tell you that the purpose of our visit to Taishi's Mansion is to assassinate Taishi Pang, and this old boy should have died a long time ago. As for who instigated it, I don't know very well, but I only know that it may be a senior member of the court. ”

Yang Peng listened to Han Bing's words and was not surprised, the struggle between powers was definitely not as glamorous as it seemed on the surface, but it was actually extremely dirty and bloody behind the scenes. Yang Peng already knew this when he contacted the imperial court. In fact, the bloody struggle between powers has never changed, whether it is ancient or modern, whether it is an Eastern society or a Western society, the essence of the power struggle is the same. And in order to win the power struggle, many times, the people will be treated as victims. The idea that there is a heaven and a pure society in the world is very naïve and ridiculous. Man should learn to survive in danger, because human society is a vast jungle.

It's far away, let's get back to the point. After Yang Peng listened to Han Bing's words, several high-ranking officials quickly flashed in his mind: Eighth Prince, Wang Qinruo, Lin Te, Kou Zhun and so on. In Yang Peng's opinion, these people are all motivated, needless to say, the eighth prince is Pang Taishi's biggest political enemy, and his suspicion is undoubtedly the greatest; Kou Zhun is an honest and upright official, is there no suspicion, no, it is precisely because of these characteristics that he cannot get rid of suspicion, and the purpose of his assassination of Pang Taishi may be for the country and the people; As for Wang Qinruo, Lin Te and others, although they are all Pang Taishi's henchmen on the surface, they are not allowed to poison Pang Taishi behind their backs in order to replace Pang Taishi. In short, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including him Yang Peng himself, are all suspicious. In this great dye vat of power, no one is clean.

Yang Peng raised his head, "How did you get involved with these killers?" Han Bing said: "The leading killer is my friend. When I arrived in the capital, I contacted him, and he invited me to participate in the assassination. "You are really a heroine of the red dust for the country and the people! However, it seems to me that you are all fooling around. ”

Han Bing glared and asked, "Do you think that Master Pang shouldn't die?" Yang Peng nodded and said, "Damn, very damned!" But killing one Pang Taishi can't solve the problem, and soon there will be a second Pang Taishi and a third Pang Taishi, maybe what they do will be even worse than the current Pang Taishi! Killing one person won't save the world! ”

Han Bing frowned, raised his head and asked, "Then what do you think should be done?" Yang Peng said teasingly: "If you want me to say, you are a girl, you should learn what a woman should do, and then find a good man to marry!" These things of the country and the people are too heavy for you to bear, and they should not be borne by you! ”

Han Bing said angrily: "You look down on me!" "I don't mean to look down on you. I just think that if the weight of a country must be put on a woman, then there is nothing left for the country to save, let him perish! ”

Han Bing looked at Yang Peng with a frown and puzzled. Yang Peng smiled, "Okay, it's late at night, you should go back and rest." Glancing at Yang Jiumei, "In the middle of the night, you are a woman staying with me, I'm afraid my wives will be jealous!" Yang Jiumei glanced at Yang Peng. Han Bing was ashamed and angry, snorted, turned around and left the study.

Yang Peng came out of the house, and Zhang Daniu, who was waiting at the door, and several other secret guards immediately led the horse to greet him. Several people stepped on their horses and walked slowly towards the house. Yang Peng sat on horseback and thought about things. After a while, Yang Peng looked up and found that he had already passed the Fan Tower, and there was a wooded hill behind a house in front of him. Yang Peng reined in his horse, pointed to the hill and asked Zhang Daniu on the side: "I remember that two streets behind that hill is the Taishi Mansion?" Zhang Daniu looked at the hill, hugged his fists and said, "What the master said is right." ”

Yang Peng immediately rode his horse towards the hill, and Zhang Daniu and several people hurriedly followed. The trail leads through the dense forest to the top of the mountain, and you can see the whole of Tokyo and its suburbs. It is really hard to imagine that there were such huge cities in the ancient world, not only huge but also very clean, which I am afraid that most cities in modern society cannot compare.

Yang Peng rode on horseback and looked at the Pang Taishi Mansion in the distance. From this point of view, the Pang Taishi Mansion can be described as unobstructed, like a huge garden. Yang Peng's gaze roamed over Master Pang's mansion for a moment, and then his gaze began to wander the streets and alleys around the mansion. It was close to noon and the streets were bustling with activity. Suddenly, the deserted courtyard to the north of Master Pang's Mansion caught Yang Peng's attention.

Yang Peng pointed to the mansion with a horsewhip and asked, "What is that place?" Zhang Daniu looked at it, hugged his fists and said: "That is the mansion of Wu Hou, the servant under the front door." After Wu Juhou was dismissed, it was abandoned. Yang Peng smiled slightly, "God really help me!" Go, go back! ”

Taishi's mansion. Pang Taishi was discussing with Wang Qinruo. "The lowly has just received the news that the city guards who were killed have finished their corpses, eighty-seven people, not a single one of them is alive, and many of them were killed by this strange throwing knife." Wang Qinruo said as he took out a small box and put it on the coffee table in Taishi Pang's hand.

Master Pang opened the box and saw a crescent-shaped flying knife lying there, emitting a heart-palpitating glittering cold light. Master Pang frowned, "What kind of flying knife is this?" Wang Qinruo shook his head, "I don't know." Even a few old catchers with very rich experience in Beijing said they hadn't seen it. However, they unanimously concluded that the people who threw the knives were by no means human, and that those who were stabbed were almost always killed on the spot, because there were almost no second wounds on the bodies. What is certain is that those mysterious people who killed the city defense army must be professional killers, and they are not ordinary professional killers! At the same time, there must be a lot of people, otherwise it is really impossible to kill eighty-seven people in an instant without being discovered! ”

Master Pang frowned and said, "This is really strange! Those who entered the mansion were exterminated by the guards, and where did the killers who killed the city guards on the streets come from? What are the intentions? Are you in league with the Assassins who came to assassinate me? ”

"I don't think this possibility can be ruled out. Perhaps they lost their accomplices and fled for their lives after seeing that the palace was heavily guarded and could not succeed. Master Pang nodded and ordered, "You focus on investigating the inn and tavern to see if you can find any suspicious characters." "Yes. Do you want to spy on the Eighth Prince? ”

Master Pang said: "I will hand over this matter to another person to be responsible, you don't have to ask." "Someone else?" At this time, a Yu Hou came in, hugged his fists and said, "Taishi, she is here." ”

"Here she is. Let her in. Yu Hou answered, went out, and after a while, led a woman in. The woman was dressed up extremely gorgeously and bewitchingly, and her body was wrapped in a big red palace dress, exuding an incomparably seductive atmosphere; Her hair is draped like a waterfall on the back of her head, and the bun is covered with golden steps, and the golden light reflects the flowers, as if the legendary Daji has reappeared in the world. Wang Qinruo couldn't help but be moved when he saw this woman.

The woman came to Taishi Pang and bowed down: "Hu Ji meets Master Taishi." Master Pang smiled, "Orchid doesn't have to be polite. Hu Ji stood up, "I don't know what the Taishi summoned to order?" Master Pang picked up the small wooden box containing the Crescent Moon Flying Knife, "Look at this." ”

Hu Ji stepped forward to take the wooden box, picked up the crescent flying blade inside, and looked at it, "There is a smell of blood, this is a flying knife that has killed people!" Wang Qinruo said: "This was taken from the corpse of a city defense army. A total of eighty-seven city defenders died tragically, and a considerable number of them died under the throwing knives, all of them killed with one blow. ”

A strange look flashed in Orchid's eyes. Master Pang asked: "You know the things on the rivers and lakes better, have you ever seen this kind of flying knife?" Orchid shook her head, "Never." But listening to what this adult said just now, it can be judged that the person who shot must be a very powerful professional killer! ”

"Oh? So how do they compare to you? Hu Ji smiled and smiled very charmingly, "This is a good opponent, and I am looking forward to hearing their screams before they die." Wang Qinruo's heart couldn't help but chill. Master Pang nodded with satisfaction, "I will give you two things, one is to find out the identity of these killers, report any situation immediately, don't act rashly; The second is to send someone to infiltrate the mansion of the eighth prince, I want to know this little boy's every move. ”

Orchid nodded, "No problem." Pang Taishi glanced at Yu Hou beside him, who immediately handed Hu Ji a mahogany box more than a foot long. Hu Ji took the box and smiled at Na Yuhou. Yu Hou was extremely amazing, and at the same time flattered and stunned. Ahem! Master Pang coughed twice in displeasure. Only then did Yu Hou come back to his senses and retreat very embarrassed.

Hu Ji chuckled: "Master Taishi doesn't have to blame him, it's Hu Ji who lost his temper just now." Master Pang snorted, "There are 100,000 taels of silver tickets in this wooden box, and I will pay you another 100,000 taels after the matter is done." Hu Ji Yingying bowed, "Thank you, Master." If the Master has no other instructions, I will retire. Master Pang nodded.

The orchid turned and walked away. Wang Qinruo looked at the sexy back of Hu Ji, and couldn't help but exclaim: "I have never seen such a gorgeous and enchanting woman!" Even if it is Zhao Xiangxiang, I am afraid that it is slightly inferior in this regard! ”

Master Pang snorted coldly, "This is a poisonous rose, and it won't end well if you stick to her." "Who the hell is she?" Wang Qinruo asked curiously. "Have you ever heard of the Maiden Palace?" Wang Qinruo was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Could it be the legendary killer organization composed entirely of women?" ”

Master Pang nodded, "Not bad." Orchid is the palace master of the Maiden Palace. He smiled coldly, "These women are psychologically abnormal, they hate men extremely much, and they take pleasure in killing men." However, they are also very useful tools, and so far, they have not missed. ”

Wang Qinruo couldn't help but think of the big cases that shocked the world in recent years, such as the tragedy of Li Shilang's family destroying one hundred and one mouths, the assassination case of Zheng Guifei's palace, and so on. Master Pang looked at Wang Qinruo's side face and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. After Wang Qinruo left, Pang Taishi came to the backyard for a walk. Climbed up to an attic and looked out into the distance. I couldn't help but be surprised when I saw the bustling and busy scene of the deserted courtyard in the north. asked the Marquis Yu beside him: "Did someone buy that mansion?" ”

Yu Hou hurriedly said: "I listened to the servants discussing this matter this morning, it seems that a merchant from Jiangnan bought that courtyard. Master Pang said mockingly: "What a tasteless nouveau riche!" Then he put the matter behind him.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
