Fenghou

Chapter 1585 Night Kill
Wu'an Qingyuan rode a horse all the way slowly, and when he exited the south gate, he kept turning his head to check, except for a shriveled and thin old lady Lifo who was following him on a donkey, there was no other suspicious person, so he let go of his heart a little.

There was a fork in the road ahead. Wu An Qingyuan took the fork and turned eastward. He turned his head again, and the old lady of Lifo continued to walk south. There was no one behind him, only a peddler in front of him was hurrying along with a load.

Wu An Qingyuan speeded up his horse, and soon returned to the official road outside the East City. He turned his head again, but the shopkeeper had disappeared, and there was only a carriage behind him, walking at a fast speed, because this carriage had been walking in front of him before, Wu'an Qingyuan fell into doubt.

At this moment, Wu An Qingyuan let go of his heart and accelerated his horse towards Lintong County. People were following him all the time on the road. The inner guards used the most brilliant tracking techniques to keep sending people to wait in advance according to his direction and follow him. Watching him, Wu'an Qingyuan didn't know it.

Soon, Wu An Qingyuan entered Lintong County and came to the mansion they rented. He came to the back alley, got off his horse, looked around, made sure there was no suspicious person, and then led the horse into the alley.

At this time, in a shop opposite, two inner guard soldiers stared at him, knocked on the door rhythmically, and stepped into the mansion.

Not long after, Zhong Huan also arrived in Lintong County, and the inner guards had paid a high price to rent the small shop opposite. In the small attic on the third floor, Zhong Huan watched the situation of the mansion with clairvoyance. Looking from the attic, they could see half of it. The situation inside the house, including the open space in the back yard.

At this time, he saw two thin men who seemed to be practicing climbing over the roof. They easily climbed onto the roof and jumped off the roof.

Soon, two similarly thin women in black appeared, practicing swordsmanship in the yard, and Zhong Huan narrowed his eyes.

The two women in black and the three dead assassins were exactly the same in terms of figure, attire, and even the rapiers they used. This was the most conclusive evidence that they were assassins.

"Has the owner of this house been found?"

"I found it. It's a businessman. He lives in Jingzhao City. I'll let Yaren rent out this house for him!"

"Is it illegal for a businessman to live in a five-acre house?"

"Reporting to the general, this is his ancestral home, which has been reported to the government and belongs to the scope of special permission."

Zhong Huan didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately said to Lieutenant Yang Zunyi: "Call out a thousand internal guards and besiege the mansion tonight!"

"Humble post obeys orders!"

Yang Zunyi hurried away, and Zhong Huan said to Xu Cheng again: "You are responsible for keeping an eye on them, and I will catch anyone who goes out, and they are not allowed to escape!"

"Understandable!"

Chong Huan then rushed to report to the emperor.

After listening to the report, Chen Qing said calmly: "I have no objection if you want to close the net, I only have one request, don't have another assassination incident!"

Zhong Huan was sweating profusely and said, "This humble minister has neglected his duties, I promise there will be no more assassinations!"

"It's not about what you promise. The guarantee is useless. The key is how you do it. For example, the loophole in the East Palace has been discovered for more than a month, and no one has discovered it. This is too inappropriate. I suggest that you set up a security assessment department. , any construction involving the surroundings of the palace must go through a security assessment by the internal guards, considering its possible security loopholes, as well as the security loopholes of Longhu. a little worried."

Zhong Huan hurriedly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this loophole has been plugged, and a new iron fence has been installed. Before, the iron fence was not deep enough, allowing assassins to sneak in against the bottom. Now the iron fence spikes have been inserted into the river bed. It is made of fine steel, and it has thick wrists, which cannot be cut with a chainsaw, and assassins will not be able to get in no matter what."

Chen Qing nodded, "That's what I mean. Security must be prepared for a rainy day. There must be a special department to conduct security assessments, find loopholes in time, and plug loopholes!"

"Wei Chen understands!"

"Go, let me catch all the spies from the Japanese country!"

At night, a thousand internal guard soldiers surrounded the mansion in Lintong County. Zhong Huan whispered to several generals: "Send down the order and try to capture them alive, but if there are stubborn resisters, shoot them to death!"

"Follow the order!"

The soldiers of the inner guards started to do something. They climbed into the wall, jumped in one by one, and suddenly shot an arrow from the roof. One inner guard soldier was caught off guard, and the arrow rolled down from the wall. Arrows were released, and a Japanese assassin hit more than a dozen arrows in a row in the dark, and rolled down from the roof screaming.

The people in the house were alarmed immediately, someone yelled, and seven or eight men in black rushed to the backyard, brandishing knives and slashing at the inner guard soldiers who surrounded them. The inner guard soldiers did not give them any chance and quickly surrounded the group of black clothes The samurai stabbed with dozens of spears, and in a moment, all the men in black fell to the ground and died.

The leaders of the house, Yuan Benyi and Wu An Qingyuan, were afraid of being killed, and they raised their hands together to surrender, but were held down by the internal guards and tied up.

In the Japanese chamber of commerce, a hundred internal guards were dispatched to arrest Tetsuya Iga, his deputy Tokuhiro Kobayashi, and a dozen of fellows, including seven or eight Japanese businessmen who lived in the chamber of commerce.

Everyone in the Japanese Chamber of Commerce was emptied, and the internal guards put a seal on it.

At the same time, an operation against the Japanese was requested by Neiwei, and the governments from all over the country cooperated one after another to arrest all Japanese businessmen within their jurisdiction and send them to Jingzhao for screening.

Of course, the inner guards did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Once they were confirmed innocent, they would be released.

The war in Koryo was still going on, Yuan Weiyi's [-] troops were wiped out, and the remaining [-] troops began to retreat to the southeast due to lack of food.

The coach Fujiwara Tadatsu learned that there was a warship on the Linjin River. He feared that his retreat would be cut off, so he immediately ordered the entire army to retreat to the south bank of the Linjin River.

Three pontoon bridges were built on the Linjin River, and [-] troops were rushing across the river. It took only half a day for [-] troops to pass. The commander, Fujiwara Tadatsu, was very anxious. two.

"Pass down the order, throw away the luggage, and all light soldiers cross the river!"

At this moment, the army on the south bank suddenly became chaotic, and the soldiers on the south bank were crying and running in all directions.

Someone shouted: "Marshal, there are enemy cavalry on the other side!"

Fujiwara Tadamichi could see clearly that an army of tens of thousands of people appeared on the south bank, led by a cavalry of ten thousand people, extremely sharp, his own soldiers couldn't resist at all, and were killed and fled in all directions.

The soldiers on the pontoon bridge scrambled back to flee for their lives, and people kept being squeezed into the river, but Fujiwara Tadatsu's heart sank into the abyss. The scene he was most worried about happened. It is very likely that the army's retreat has been cut off, and Jincheng was captured by the Yong army. up.

"Boat! The boat is coming!"

When Fujiwara Tadamichi turned his head, he saw three huge ships coming rumblingly. They didn't use sails, and their two oars rolled in the water, urging the big ships to move forward at full speed.

Fujiwara Tadatsu was desperate, and only then did he realize how big the gap between them and the Yong Dynasty was. Just this kind of big ship with wheels and paddles killed all the ships in Japan in an instant.

"Come back quickly!"

Several generals on the shore shouted, and more than a thousand soldiers on the pontoon bridge became even more chaotic, pushing and scrambling to escape for their lives, but it was too late, and the Wanshi ship slammed into the first pontoon bridge.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the pontoon bridge was smashed into pieces, and hundreds of soldiers fell into the water screaming.

But the big ship did not stop, and continued to rush forward, breaking the other two pontoon bridges in succession. More than [-] soldiers who had no time to evacuate fell into the water, struggling in the water and calling for help, but no one could save them.

Tens of thousands of people on the north bank watched helplessly as soldiers on the other side were massacred, and as soldiers struggling in the water sank to the bottom, everyone was filled with despair.

Suddenly, there were continuous explosions in the distance, like thunder, but the sky was clear.

"It's Jianyu Thunder God!"

The soldiers shouted one after another. The news that the Yong army had Thunder God to assist the battle had already spread throughout the army. Desperation, panic, and fear, tens of thousands of soldiers shouted and rushed to retreat, and the scene was in chaos.

Fujiwara Chumichi had no choice but to order: "The army retreats to the east!"
