Taiyuan City, Tongfu Inn.
"Bang bang bang~!"
"Master of the Guard!"
In the Tianzihao guest room, Zhao Deyan was standing by the window, staring out the window. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and then a deep voice came. Zhao Deyan's eyes froze, and then he relaxed, because he heard Knowing the identity of the outsider, he said calmly: "Come in!"
The door was not locked.
Xuan Ye, dressed in black, pushed open the door and closed it again. He quickly came to Zhao Deyan, cupped his fists and said, "Master of the Guard, my subordinate is back!"
At this time, all the residents and waiters in the inn had rested. It was naturally impossible for Xuan Ye to come in through the main entrance of the inn. He could only climb in through the window with the help of Qinggong like he had done before, but he lent him ten He was so brave that he didn't dare to break through the window of Zhao Deyan's guest room. He climbed in through the window of the guest room next door, and then he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he came directly to find Zhao Deyan!
"Have you heard any news~?"
Zhao Deyan didn't talk nonsense, went straight to the point, and asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to the leader of the guard, my subordinates found out that the fire in the long alley in the south of the city this afternoon was started by Wang Xinyuan. He learned that the King of Wei was going to personally escort a batch of supplies to Longshan, so he sent someone to ambush in the south of the city in advance. Unexpectedly, he was hit. Due to King Wei's plan, one of their killers was captured alive by the other party... "
Xuan Ye clasped his fists and slowly recounted the conversation between Li Tai and Su Yuncheng that he had just overheard in the post house.
After finally learning the truth about today's fire in the south of the city, Zhao Deyan's face was gloomy. He couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "Wang Xinyuan and Wang Kui, these two idiots, the other party deliberately exposed a weak point and then took advantage of it. It's really a success." It's not enough, it's more than enough to expose them! Now that these two people's deeds have been exposed, if they fall into the hands of the government, I'm afraid they will ruin this major event!"
At this moment, if Zhao Deyan were a modern person, he would really want to say, "If you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, you are afraid of teammates who are like pigs"! The current situation in Taiyuan City, they and the government forces have formed a confrontation in the dark and in the open. No one can do anything to the other side. They can only wait for the reinforcements from his side to arrive, and he and Wang Kui will launch with all their strength. The entire Taiyuan City It's theirs!
But the two idiots Wang Kui and Wang Xinyuan, after some stupid actions, directly broke the confrontation. The government is likely to find a breakthrough from here!
However, Zhao Deyan did not know that one of the several carrier pigeons he passed to Jieli Khan was intercepted by Han Lizheng. Even without Wang Xinyuan and Wang Kui's "break", Li Tai and others had already learned about his Plan, although he cannot be caught in a short period of time, both the Tang border and Taiyuan City are now on guard. Even if his reinforcements really come, it may be difficult to easily capture Taiyuan City!
But no matter what, Wang Xinyuan and Wang Kui's "break" accelerated Zhao Deyan's exposure and failure!
Xuan Ye clasped his fists at this time and said: "Don't worry, Lord Guard. I heard what King Wei and Dugu Xin said before. Wang Kui and Wang Xinyuan should have escaped. Wang Kui has a secret manor near Longshan in the south of the city. Wang Kui has been there for many years." A group of killers were trained in that manor, and the killer captured alive by the Forbidden Army today was one of them. The old woman whom the Forbidden Army took away from Baoshengfang earlier was the mother of this killer.
Today, the governor's office posted a portrait of the killer and a reward notice all over the city. Wang Kui originally wanted to send his men to kill the old woman, but he never thought that the men he sent would be killed by Wang Chengwu, the commander of the Wang family's secret guards. Later, the old woman Falling into the hands of the Forbidden Army, the killer told everything about Wang Kui! Now Duguxin is about to send the imperial army to Wang Kui's secret manor in the south of the city! "
"This Wang Kui is really unlikely to accomplish anything big!"
Zhao Deyan frowned, then he reacted and asked: "Huh~? You just said Dugu Xin? What? From what you say, he is still alive and well now? Is he not dead yet~?"
Early this morning, Zhao Deyan sent Xuan Ye to trap and kill Dugu Xin, but because of Wang Chengwu's intervention, Dugu Xin escaped. However, Xuan Ye was very confident about the poison on his weapons and concealed weapons. He thought that since Dugu Xin had already If you are poisoned by him, you won't survive long even if you are rescued by Wang Chengwu! So when faced with Zhao Deyan's rebuke, Xuan Ye assured on the spot that Dugu Xin would never survive tomorrow. If not, he would be willing to accept any punishment!
But now, not only is Dugu Xin not dead, but he can still eat, walk, and sleep. This shows that the poison on Xuan Ye's weapon did not kill Dugu Xin!
Seeing Zhao Deyan asking about this, Xuan Ye stiffened. Apparently he also remembered the promise he made to Zhao Deyan during the day. After hesitating for a moment, Xuan Ye gritted his teeth, bowed and said:
"This subordinate has just seen it with his own eyes. Although Dugu Xin looks weak, he is indeed not dead. This subordinate is not doing his job well. Please punish me, Lord Guard!"
"snort!"
Zhao Deyan snorted coldly. In fact, during the day, he had received news from Tianying that Gongsun Liang, the miracle doctor of Huichun Hall, had been invited to the post house to detoxify Dugu Xin. At that time, he probably expected that Dugu Xin would not die. The reason why Shi brought up old things again was entirely to use this to beat Xuan Ye!
After all, Xuan Ye is a master-level expert. He is inevitably arrogant and arrogant on weekdays, and occasionally disobeys discipline!
"Now is the time when you are employing people. I will record your mistake for you first. When you return to the grassland, I will settle the old and new accounts with you! I hope that before that, you can make more mistakes and make meritorious services. Don't do anything. Let me disappoint you again~!"
After staring at Xuan Ye coldly for a while, Zhao Deyan thought that the pressure was enough, so he spoke.
"Don't worry, Lord Guard, my subordinates will definitely make meritorious deeds!"
Xuan Ye looked happy when he heard this, and then he cupped his fists and said.
"Um!"
Zhao Deyan nodded, then shook the feather fan in his hand, a trace of imperceptible pride flashing in his eyes.
The historical figure he admires most is Zhuge Kongming. He has no power to tie a chicken, but he can command a group of military generals in Shu with his god-like wisdom and strategizing, and divide the world into three parts! When he was a boy, he was praised by the teachers in the village for his wisdom. However, he later failed in the scientific examination and failed to get a good ranking. He could only work as a petty official in a small county town. This was something he couldn't bear!
At that time, he thought that his talent was not appreciated!
It wasn't until he met that man that he felt that what he had learned finally had a place to be put to use, and that his wisdom finally had a chance to shine in the annals of history...
At this time, with just a few words, Xuan Ye, a master-level master, was brought into submission. Zhao Deyan immediately had the illusion that Zhuge Kongming was possessed. He also enjoyed the feeling of having everything under his control...
"Master of the Guard, Duguxin sent the imperial army to Wang Kui's secret manor in Longshan, and Wang Kui is probably fleeing there. Should we follow him now? Otherwise, Wang Kui and Wang Xinyuan will fall into the hands of the imperial army. , our traces are exposed!
And according to the killer who was caught by the Forbidden Army, Wang Kui hid one hundred and twenty killers in that secret manor, and their strength ranged from the body forging stage to the gas transformation stage. If we rescue Wang Kui, With this strength, when reinforcements arrive in the future, we will be more certain of the success of the uprising! "
When Zhao Deyan felt "secretly happy" in his heart, Xuan Ye suddenly asked.
"Don't worry yet!"
When it came to business, Zhao Deyan immediately came back to his senses. He frowned and quickly sorted out the clues Xuan Ye brought back in his mind. Then he asked: "It was Dugu Xin who personally led the imperial army to Wang Kui's secret manor." ~?"
Xuan Ye didn't know why Zhao Deyan asked this suddenly, but he still shook his head and replied: "No! Although Dugu Xin is not dead, he seems to have been seriously injured, otherwise his subordinates would have been hiding on the roof for so long. It’s impossible not to notice! The person leading the team is a middle-aged man. He is good at martial arts, and he was the first to discover me, but his strength should be below the master level, far inferior to Dugu Xin, so there is nothing to fear!"
"Oh~? That's it!"
Zhao Deyan's eyes flashed with an incomprehensible expression. No one knew what he was thinking in his mind at the moment. After a moment of pause, he asked again: "Do you know how many people from the Forbidden Army will go to Wang Kui's manor this time?"
Xuan Ye thought for a while, clasped his fists and replied: "My subordinates heard at that time that Dugu Xin asked someone to count two hundred men and horses. If he does not change his plan later, there should be two hundred people in the imperial army going to Wang Kui Manor! But according to my subordinates, Presumably, they will go to the Governor's Mansion or the Bingzhou Camp to ask for help. Once the more than 100 people under Wang Kui are surrounded, there will be no possibility of escaping!"
Xuan Ye's thinking was still on "rescuing Wang Kui and getting the killer power in Wang Kui's hands", but little did he know that Zhao Deyan had no intention of rescuing Wang Kui at all!
"Two hundred people!"
Zhao Deyan looked thoughtful. As for the second half of Xuan Ye's words, he didn't listen at all, because he never cared about the life and death of Wang Kui and others. After pondering for a moment, Zhao Deyan said: "Before the imperial army entered the city, it looked like there were only about a thousand people. They put half of their people on Longshan. Now that the post house has sent another two hundred people, wouldn't the remaining people be only three hundred~?"
Xuan Ye replied: "There should be less than three hundred people. When my subordinates arrived at the post house earlier, they happened to see a group of forbidden troops leaving the post house, about dozens of people, heading northwest, as if they were going to the Bingzhou camp. So there should be only about two hundred people left in the post house now... Guard Master, do you want to...?"
Speaking of this, Xuan Ye suddenly realized something, and he asked with a look of horror.
Zhao Deyan smiled strangely and said: "That's right! You and I have no way of knowing where Wang Kui's secret manor is. It's too late to save the old guy now, and it's unnecessary! Rather than doing this, it's better to take advantage of them The rear is empty, so attack the post directly and capture the King of Wei!
There are only more than two hundred forbidden troops in the post house at the moment, and the strongest man among the forbidden troops, Dugu Xin, is at the end of his crossbow. We can mobilize all the men lurking in the city to capture the King of Wei before their reinforcements return! With King Wei in hand, we don't need reinforcements at all, and we can leave Taiyuan City! . "
Having said this, Zhao Deyan composed himself, and then as if he had made a decision, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Xuan Ye, summon all the troops immediately, follow me to attack the post house and capture the King of Wei!"
A dangerous move for soldiers!
The seemingly gentle Zhao Deyan finally showed his sharp claws at this moment!
Xuan Ye was completely shocked by Zhao Deyan's crazy and risky plan. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing. He hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Yes! I obey my orders~!"
After saying that, he clasped his fists and turned to leave.
