"Gao Yong, Zhang Qiang, why are you here?"
In Taiyuan City, on the street outside Jingrenfang, Wang Chengwu, who was rushing back to the ancestral home of the Wang family, happened to encounter a group of people heading south of the city. After seeing the leader of the group, Wang Chengwu couldn't help being startled, and quickly He went up to him and asked.
When the two men saw Wang Chengwu, they quickly dismounted from their horses, bowed and saluted: "General, on the order of the family leader, we are following the code you left on the road to meet you!"
"No need! The matter has been solved! Come back with me!"
Hearing this, Wang Chengwu suddenly realized, then he waved his hand and said.
"solved… ?"
The two couldn't help but be startled after hearing this, and then one of them asked tentatively: "Then... where is the second commander?"
"died!"
Wang Chengwu replied lightly, and then urged impatiently: "If something changes, come back with me and report it to the head of the family!"
"yes!"
Gao Yong and Zhang Qiang clasped their fists to accept the order, and then the team immediately changed from the rear team to the front team, marching quickly towards the northeast direction of the Wang family's ancestral home.
"Eh? Why did they just go back?"
In the darkness, two sergeants wearing armor hid in a corner. They looked at the Wang family guards who suddenly turned back and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
"Just now I thought I heard what they called the Commander-in-Chief. Could it be that the person coming from the south of the city is Wang Chengwu from the Wang family? What is he doing in the south of the city so late?"
"You ask me? Who should I ask? The question now is, should we continue to follow them?"
"You're still following me! Didn't you see that they are going back to the Wang family's ancestral home? Hurry back and report to General Dugu!"
"That's right! Then let's go back!"
After that, the two stood up and headed towards the post house to the north.
Yes, these two people were the two forbidden soldiers sent by Dugu Xin to follow the secret guards of the Wang family.
In Baoshengfang, that dilapidated house, a thrilling assassination and rescue had previously occurred. At this time, after Dugu Feiying took the people away, everything returned to calm, but two men in black flew down and fell. Entering the small courtyard, the two looked at each other, then went directly into the main house and began to search for something seriously.
Their eyes swept over the overturned furniture and fallen tiles from the roof, and finally landed on the blood stains on the bedside and the deep knife mark on the wooden bedside!
"It's a knife mark. The opponent's knife penetrated the person. The tip of the knife that didn't come out was inserted into the bedside. He was killed with one knife. His strength is better than mine!"
One of the slimmer men in black looked at the knife mark on the bedside and muttered to himself.
"Hey~! It's just a sword seal, and Xuan Ye feels inferior to you. Fortunately, you are still a master at the master level!"
Another taller man in black couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.
These two people are Xuan Ye and Tianying, the two most powerful generals under Zhao Deyan! Of course, these two people are often secretly competing with each other behind the scenes.
Xuan Ye glanced at Tianying as if he were an idiot, then he turned to look at a long and shallow knife mark on the wall, and said calmly: "He controls the sword with Qi and can condense it into a sword that looks like substance. This person is definitely He is a master of swordsmanship, and his realm is definitely above the master realm. I have only met one such person in Taiyuan City!"
Hearing this, Tianying couldn't help but become serious. He stepped forward and looked at the long and narrow knife mark on the wall. Indeed, as Xuan Ye said, it was not made by the physical body of the knife, but by the energy of the knife. It can be called Dao Gang. He turned to look at Xuan Ye and asked, "Who is it~?"
Xuan Ye turned around and said calmly: "Wang Chengwu, the commander-in-chief of the Wang family's secret guard, I fought with him when he was assassinating Dugu Xin in the south of the city during the day!"
Tianying was silent. Although he and Xuan Ye had never dealt with each other, he was still convinced of Xuan Ye's personal strength. If even Xuan Ye couldn't beat him, let alone him!
"There is a medicinal smell in this house, and when we came, we happened to see the women in the house being taken away by an army. Judging from the armor on their bodies, they were both imperial troops and Bingzhou camp soldiers. , it means that the woman in this house is very important to them, you go back and report to the Lord of Guards now, I will follow them and then act according to the situation!"
Xuan Ye saw that there were no valuable clues in the house, so he put his hands behind his hands and walked out the door. When he reached the door, he turned to Tianying behind him and said.
"By..."
Tianying subconsciously wanted to say, "Why should I do the errands, but you can do the work that may lead to meritorious service?", but he swallowed it back when he said it, not to mention that there was a force in that group of people. A master swordsman above Xuan Ye could not handle the well-trained imperial army and Bingzhou camp soldiers.
When they just followed here, it was when Wang Chengwu had just left, and not long after, Fang Gongteng came with four hundred soldiers, so the two of them had no chance to get close to this room at that time, so they could only hide in In the darkness, he watched helplessly as Dugu Feiying, Fang Gongteng and his party left with an old woman, two maids and a bloody corpse.
"… good!"
After hesitating for a moment, Tianying nodded.
But at this time, Xuan Ye had already disappeared. A trace of anger flashed in Tianying's eyes, and he could only be heard cursing: "Fuck~! Isn't this guy going to steal the spotlight again this time?"
After all, it is a fact that he cannot change because he is not as strong as others. As the saying goes, you can do as much as you have the ability. Now he still has to go back and report to Zhao Deyan!
… … … … … …
"Wang Li, why haven't you come back yet~?"
In the backyard of the second room of the Wang family's ancestral house, Wang Kui did not fall asleep at this time, but paced anxiously in the room because he was waiting for someone!
A few quarters of an hour ago, he sent Wang Li to Baoshengfang to kill Xinglang's mother. Calculating the time, Wang Li should be back no matter what, but things went counterproductive. Until now, Wang Kui has not seen Wang Li's shadow. A kind of A bad premonition quietly rose in Wang Kui's heart!
So reckless! Careless!
At this time, Wang Kui had some regrets. Firstly, he regretted that his decision to kill Star Wolf was a bit reckless and hasty. Secondly, he regretted that he only sent Wang Li alone to Baoshengfang in case something unexpected happened. , what should Wang Li do if he can't handle it alone
"Master, Mr. Xinyuan wants to see you!"
Just when Wang Kui was getting impatient and was about to send someone to Baoshengfang to take a look, a voice sounded outside the door. It was the guard guarding his door.
"...let him in~!"
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Kui spoke.
"yes!"
The guard outside the door responded, and then said: "Sir, please come in!"
"Um!"
With a "squeak", Wang Xinyuan pushed open the door, and then closed it smoothly. Then he walked up to Wang Kui and saluted Wang Kui: "Grandpa!"
"Um!"
Wang Kui said a faint "hmm" and then asked: "It's so late and you're still not asleep. What are you doing here~?"
Wang Kui was still a little angry about Wang Xinyuan. If this boy hadn't arranged for Wang Li, Xing Lang and others to intercept and kill Li Tai and others in the long alley in the south of the city in the afternoon, Xing Lang would not have fallen into the hands of the Forbidden Army. He had just There is no need to risk sending Wang Li to Baoshengfang to assassinate Star Wolf's mother. After all, the reason why he is so passive now is entirely because of Wang Xinyuan!
"Grandpa, my grandson came here to ask where Wang Li went?"
Wang Xinyuan pretended not to hear the resentment in Wang Kui's tone, but bowed his hands and asked.
"Wang Li? What did you ask him for?"
Wang Kui frowned and said displeased.
Wang Xinyuan replied: "Back to grandpa, the grandson saw him in the front yard before... The head of the house sent some guards out of the house, so the grandson wanted Wang Li to follow him quietly to see what the head of the house wanted to do, but the grandson came back After that, Wang Li was nowhere to be found, and the guards in the yard didn't know where Wang Li was, so my grandson had no choice but to come here to find you!"
"Huh~? What did you say? The head of the family just sent someone out of the house~?"
Wang Kui didn't pay much attention to the rest of Wang Xinyuan's words, but Wang Yu sent his guards out of the house. A sense of vigilance instantly rose in his heart, and his face became nervous. He looked at Wang Xinyuan and asked in a deep voice.
"Indeed!"
Wang Xinyuan nodded, and then he noticed something was wrong with Wang Kui's expression. His heart moved and he quickly asked: "Grandpa, why are you so nervous? Did the head of the family discover something?"
Wang Kui looked livid and said nothing.
Wang Xinyuan was worried at the side. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He couldn't help but look horrified and said: "Grandpa, is Wang Li not in the house now? Has he been sent out to perform some task by you? And the head of the family sent someone before. Could it be that you left the mansion to follow Wang Li~?"
How could Wang Kui not think of things that Wang Xinyuan could think of? Hearing this, he said with an ugly face: "Isn't it because of you? If it weren't for your reckless behavior during the day and sending people to intercept and kill King Wei, how could Star Wolf fall into the hands of the Imperial Army? How could I send Wang Li to the south of the city to assassinate him tonight? Star Wolf’s mother?”
"What? Grandpa, did you send Wang Li to assassinate Star Wolf's mother?"
Hearing this, Wang Xinyuan's eyes widened and he couldn't help but said: "Grandpa, why are you doing this? Star Wolf is the killer you have trained for many years. Even if he falls into the hands of the Forbidden Army, he will never betray him to you. Why should you take such a risk?" ? If the head of the family really sends someone to follow Wang Li secretly, I’m afraid he will have fallen into the hands of the head of the family now! Then we will be completely exposed! "
"Of course Star Wolf will not betray me, but now that Star Wolf's portraits are plastered all over the city, there is no guarantee that his old mother will not surrender to the government. I am so passive now, isn't it because of you?"
Wang Kui stared at Wang Xinyuan and pointed at Wang Xinyuan angrily. After a moment, he sighed and said: "That's it! It's too late to say anything! Wang Li hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid he has fallen into the hands of the head of the family. It’s in my hands! You, my grandfather and my grandson are completely finished!”
Wang Xinyuan looked a little pale. After a moment, he shook his head desperately and said: "No! No! Grandpa, we can't sit still and wait for death. We should escape from the Wang family before the current owner finds out. You still have people and money, let's escape." The Wang family will definitely be able to make a comeback in the future!"
