The goatee stroked his beard and said, "General Zige's consideration is also somewhat reasonable, but if you assassinate Ye Tao now, there must be chaos in the city." The Guards must be searching the city for your whereabouts. As Ye Tao's military advisor and military staff officer, once Ye Tao's people search you out of my mansion, it will definitely arouse his suspicions. When the time comes, he will definitely change his deployment to be prepared, and what we have done before will be in vain. ”

Lin Huai seemed to think that this goatee was too verbose, and said with a straight face: "That's why I hid here, and what you have to do now is to quickly find a safe place for me to hide, instead of rambling here endlessly." ”

The goatee saw that Lin Huai's face was wrong, and knew that this person was ruthless and couldn't be provoked, so he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I won't say more." I happen to have a secret room here, you go in and hide, I hope that with my identity, I can help you avoid their search. ”

The goatee stood up, held up the oil lamp in one hand, and walked to the door.

When Nianhua heard this, he walked to the door in two steps, pulled out his sword, and waited at the door.

As soon as the goatee opened the door, Nianhua's sword was on his neck, and he shouted: "Don't hide, I have already heard what you said, why don't you hurry up and tie your hands and follow me to meet your General Ye." ”

The goatee saw a bright sword resting on his neck, and his face turned pale with fright, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the oil lamp fell to the ground and shattered.

And Lin Huai behind him was also startled, and with an "oops" sound, he jumped out of the window.

Nianhua was about to turn around and chase after him, but the goatee took advantage of Nianhua's distraction, quickly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve cage and stabbed Nianhua's waist.

Nianhua was furious, and the sword flicked backwards, and it slashed through the neck of the goatee. The poor goatee's dagger stopped halfway through the stabbing of the dagger, because one of his heads had been pulled down by the sword in Nianhua's hand.

Nianhua saw that Lin Huai had fled to the wall, so he kicked his feet and flew over like an arrow off the string, and the sword in his hand stabbed Lin Huai's back.

Lin Huai turned his head suddenly, and the big knife slashed back, slashing at Nianhua's waist. This time, Lin Huai had no scruples, and hated Nianhua for being nosy, so he used all the ruthless tricks in the big knife, and he couldn't wait to chop Nianhua into meat sauce.

But Nianhua is no longer the Nianhua when she first came out of the mountain, she has walked in the rivers and lakes for so long, and she has experienced many big battles, so she can be regarded as half an old river.

She saw that although Lin Huai's knife technique was ruthless and vicious, full of evil spirit, she also knew that there must be big flaws in this knife technique, and she was not very afraid in her heart.

While she relied on her light skills to deal with it with all her might, she carefully observed the opponent's knife skills and looked for flaws. After dozens of moves, Nianhua was basically familiar with his style of play, and his swordsmanship changed, turning defense into offense, and his moves did not leave the flaws of the opponent.

After more than ten moves, Lin Huai was forced to mess up, and he was also hit by a sword in his arm. He knew that he was not Nianhua's opponent, so he shouted, the big knife danced wildly, and he wanted to go crazy, and slashed at the wall with a knife.

Lin Huai's knife was extremely powerful, and he slashed the wall in half, and the bricks flew wildly and smashed towards Nianhua.

Nianhua used his sword to knock the flying bricks to the ground one by one, and when he looked again, Lin Huai had escaped without a trace. Nianhua chased out of the yard, flew to the roof, looked around, but didn't find Lin Huai's figure.

Nianhua returned to the courtyard and saw the goatee lying at the door, and a head rolled out of the distance.

This goatee was originally a staff officer under Ye Tao, but he ate inside and out, helping foreigners invade his homeland, he is really a traitor, a shameless man, he is really innocent!

However, Nianhua also regretted his recklessness at this time. Originally, she could have escorted this person to see Ye Tao and asked him to tell Ye Tao what had happened.

But now the goatee has been killed by himself. As the saying goes, there is no proof of death, Ye Tao will definitely not believe himself. Then this matter is not clear.

What's more, Lin Huai made such a fuss in Ye Tao's mansion just now, and at this time, the mansion and the mansion must be heavily guarded, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to see Ye Tao's face.

Looking at the posture in Ye Tao's mansion just now, if he rushes forward, he will definitely be arrested as an assassin.

Nianhua looked at the goatee that fell to the ground, frowned, walked over, and wrapped one of the goatee's heads in a cloth. Then he carried the human head out of the courtyard and ran straight towards Ye Tao's mansion.

Not far from the outside of the house, I saw that the lights inside and outside the house were bright, and dozens of soldiers held torches to see the entire courtyard to death.

Nianhua looked around, then came to the side, climbed up to the roof again, and hung the head of the goatee on the eaves.

To be honest, when Nianhua did these things, he was very nervous. Don't look at her fighting and killing all day long, but when she sees the bloody human head, her heart pounds.

Nianhua clapped his hands and was about to leave, when he suddenly thought of another idea, so he quietly jumped into the courtyard. Under the cover of darkness under the eaves, I came to a study.

She found a pen and paper, and wrote: "This person is a traitor. He stole the defense map of Yongren Pass and handed it over to the Manchu spies. The Manchu army will attack Yongren Pass in a big way in the near future, and prepare for the defense of General Ye!"

After writing, Nianhua took the note to the roof again and nailed it to the side of the goatee's head. After doing all this, Nianhua turned around and left.

Nianhua wanted to get out of the city and go to catch up with Yu Wen, Yu Chao and others. But when she came to the city wall, there were suddenly a lot of soldiers, and the scene was completely different from the one she had seen before.

Not to mention a big living person, even a bird, I'm afraid it's hard to fly out.

Nianhua thought to himself that he couldn't get out now anyway, so it was better to simply stay in the city, see how the situation in the city was, and wait until the matter had a result before leaving.

So Nianhua returned to the city, found an inn and stayed.

That night, the city was very unpeaceful. From time to time, a large group of soldiers could be seen walking through the streets, but there was no such thing as a large-scale hunt for the Assassins.

The next day, the movement of troops continued uninterrupted, and it was not until the evening that it gradually quieted down.

Nianhua guessed that Ye Tao already knew about the theft of the defense map, and he was busy urgently mobilizing the army and re-arming it all day and night. This also shows that their efforts have not been in vain.
