With a cold smile in his eyes, Liao Zhongwen nodded to Zhu Er: "Be careful."

Zhu Er chuckled, raised his hand to summon the scattered guards, made a light gesture, and seven or eight of them dispersed without a word.

Zhu Er licked the dry corners of his mouth, looked at the scattered torches slowly moving in the distance, and nodded to Liao Zhongwen with light in his eyes. He straightened up, stepped on his feet, and jumped directly onto the horse's back.

Liao Zhongwen didn't even move his eyelids, looked away, and coldly told the boy driving the car: "Let's go."

The boy agreed, raised his whip and slapped it on the horse's back.The two horses were frightened, but in the blink of an eye, the carriage leaped dozens of feet away.

Zhu Er turned his head to look at the receding carriage, and then turned his head to look at the approaching soldiers, with the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a faint smile.

Brother Que's eyes were dark, and he stared closely at the carriage going away. A group of guards rode on horses and followed closely behind Brother Que, all of them looked calm.

Chai Er Er cursed and fell at the end, panting and dancing his whip: "What a f*cking troublemaker! What are these things..." The rest of the voices drifted away in the night wind.

Before Chai Lao Er finished cursing, a horse neighed suddenly in front of him, and a group of people stopped the horse and stopped.Chai Laoer almost fell down in a hurry, and hurriedly reined in the horse's head. In a panic, he lashed the horse closest to him with a whip, and scolded angrily, "Things that don't have eyes! Haven't... ..."

Just in the middle of a sentence, Chai Lao Er suddenly widened his eyes.He looked at the dozen torches that suddenly lit up in front of him with some astonishment. The flames were blazing and dazzling.

Chai Laoer half-closed his eyes subconsciously, and it took him a while to get used to the sudden bright light. When he took a closer look, he took a deep breath—the shadows of the previous two carriages could barely be seen hidden in the night. At this moment, the firelight shines, but nothing can be seen clearly.There are also a few extra people who came out of nowhere...

Chai Lao Er swallowed his saliva, and looked at the dark crowd of twenty or thirty people in front of him.Reluctantly suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, he used a whip to push away the people in front, drove the horse to the front, frowned and asked Brother Que, "What's going on?"

Brother Que pursed his lips tightly, his dark eyes gleamed coldly in the night, and his gaze was fixed on the crowd in front of him.He didn't respond to a word of Chai Laoer's words.

Chai Laoer followed Brother Que's eyes for a look, and for some reason, he suddenly thumped, couldn't stop sinking and sinking, and tightened his hand holding the whip, and suddenly said: "The carriage is not running fast. It should be It’s not far ahead. These people’s origins are unknown, so you drag them first. I’ll take the men to chase the carriage.”

Brother Que frowned slightly, looked at Chai Lao Er expressionlessly, and then nodded.

Chai Lao Er heaved a sigh of relief, subconsciously avoided Zhu Er's excited eyes ahead, ordered a dozen guards, bypassed a circle of people, and ran forward from another path.

Zhu Er narrowed his eyes.Watching Chai Laoer's movements with great interest, a light flashed in his eyes.He weighed the torch in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and suddenly threw the torch out of the air.

The light of the fire drew a bright arc in the night sky, and landed directly in front of Chai Laoer's horse. Before Chai Laoer could recover, the second torch also fell into the group of horses. Frightened, he flicked his hooves wildly.The guards on the horse were in disarray, unable to hold the reins at all, but fell to the ground in a moment, trampled by the horse's hooves, several of them couldn't help groaning, getting dizzy, and hurriedly got up from under the horse's hoof , are all in a mess.

Zhu Er raised his eyebrows, shook his head lightly, the corners of his mouth curled up, and his face was full of excited and joyful smiles.But in the blink of an eye, there were two more torches in his hand, waved at a group of people, and suddenly asked, "Who is in front?"

Chai Lao Er was stunned for a moment, his heart was pounding, his brows were furrowed, he hesitated for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly clapped his hands and said, "I am the head of the Yamen in Jingzhao Prefecture, who is ordered to patrol the suburbs of Beijing. Dare I ask?" Who is Your Majesty?"

Zhu Er snorted lightly, gestured to a group of guards around him, cleared his throat, and said with a smile: "Hmph, have you ever stayed in the capital? Yes! Hehe, my luck is really good today! I just ran into a thief!"

Chai Laoer's eyes widened, and before he could remember it, Zhu Er had already rushed over with four or five people.A group of poorly dressed guards hadn't stood still when they suddenly saw a bright light approaching and blinked subconsciously. Before they opened their eyes, the horses that had just calmed down neighed again, and their hooves danced wildly. A group of people I was stepped on again.

But in the blink of an eye, a group of people staggered to and fro, completely powerless to fight back, and were easily tied up by the black-clothed guards behind Zhu Er before they could fight back.

Chai Laoer took a deep breath, frowned, and suddenly turned his head and shouted "Brother Que..."

Before the sound landed, Chai Laoer took a sharp breath, the shouting stopped abruptly, and he almost bit his own tongue.Immediately afterwards, the sound of the two ice blades handing over came, which was particularly harsh under the silent night sky.

Zhu Er raised his hand, and the people beside him rode the horses of the guards, holding bright torches in their hands, and ran straight ahead.The two sides fought in one place silently, and the air was filled with the smell of burning turpentine, sometimes mixed with the smell of burnt raw meat-the sounds of ouch and pain in the crowd came and went.

Brother Que was holding a sharp sword in his hand, and his dark eyes were fixed on the fighting crowd. His moves with the sword were crisp and sharp, but he couldn't stop the torches flying around.Half of the sleeves on his body were burned, and his exposed arms were also burned, and he was in a mess.

Until the dotted torches in the distance lit up in a circle, then quickly stopped, and then a dozen light spots quickly approached, and then moved over, Brother Que suddenly opened his eyes wide, and looked at Zhu Er in astonishment. Feeling cold from head to toe—that's a marching man!He almost forgot, marching at night, in order to avoid accidents.Generally, a torch is lit at a distance to confuse the public.

How could there be an army in the suburbs of Beijing?Looking at the situation, there are still quite a few people... Brother Que swallowed his saliva and licked his chapped lips. The uneasiness and doubts that had been shrouded in his heart suddenly suddenly dawned on him - something big is going to happen in the capital, no wonder Mr. Wei let him People are cautious about martial law, no wonder the atmosphere in the capital is not quite right these days...

With such a dazed effort, Brother Que's vision blurred, and he was already hit on the back with a stick.He lost his balance and fell directly off the horse. Before he could get up, there was a sudden pain in his neck, and he was stopped.

In a short while, a group of disheveled and burned guards were all thrown off their horses one by one.The black-clothed guard had a sullen face.Like a string of tofu, a dozen people were directly strung up from the rope and tied into a ball, and several others quickly stuffed a ball of oilcloth into the mouths of the guards.

The sound of horseshoes not far away gradually approached, and immediately a dozen people, all in military uniform, ran straight towards this end.

Zhu Er clapped his hands, and pulled the end of the rope to drag Chai Lao Er and his group over.He curled his lips and clicked his tongue twice, but his eyes were beating with excitement.He tapped Brother Que's shoulder with his foot, and hummed in a low voice: "Your boy is a good seedling, but it's a pity!"

Brother Que's eye sockets shrank slightly, and a layer of cold evil spirit suddenly appeared all over his body. His dark eyes stared at Zhu Er motionlessly, and then he seemed to be discouraged.The air-conditioning on his body was completely dissipated, and he just lowered his head dejectedly.

Zhu Er raised his eyebrows in surprise.Throwing the rope in his hand to the hand of the black-clothed guard, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he greeted him warmly.

The person at the front looked calm, stared at Zhu Er vigilantly, then glanced around at the city gate guards tied up behind Zhu Er, raised his whip and shouted, "Who is it?"

Zhu Er's eyeballs moved slightly, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but his mind turned around quickly, and he asked with some uncertainty: "But Mr. Lu Qianzong? The younger one is a disciple of the third master's house. , come to pick up Commander Wu at the order of the third master." As he spoke, he quickly took out the waist badge from his sleeve and lit it up.

Mr. Lu Qian stared at Zhu Er for a moment, and the expression on his face eased a little. He got off his horse and cupped his hands at Zhu Er: "I'm under Lu Chong, may I ask where the third master is now?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Er's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared straight at Lu Chong. After a long while, he said coldly: "You guys are just ordered to see Commander Wu, please forgive me."

Lu Chong smiled indifferently, and summoned the people behind him to tell him, "Go back and report, it's from the third master." The soldier responded, and hurried back on his horse.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Wu Yan, the commander of the Zhennan Army, rushed over with his people.Wu Yan is in his forties, with a white face and no beard, his appearance is gentle, his face is also very soft, his whole body is calm, and he doesn't look like a soldier leader at all.

"What's going on?" Wu Yan sized up Zhu Er, and then pointed at the few people tied up behind Zhu Er.

"The guards at the gate of the city, people from Jingzhao Yin Weilang." There was a coldness in Zhu Er's voice, and a sneer appeared on his face, "Your behavior is suspicious, so the younger ones will be tied up immediately."

Speaking of this, Zhu Er's eyes flickered slightly, and Wu Yan could clearly see the moment of hesitation.

"Stay farther away." Wu Yan waved his hand towards Lu Zhong, and a group of soldiers automatically stepped back ten steps.

Zhu Er nodded towards a group of black-clothed guards, took two steps forward, first cupped his hands with Wu Yan, and then lowered his voice and said: "Ye Shengying led people to lurk near the gate of the city, and the younger ones only found a lot of people. Others, there is no news yet. What the third master means is that the situation in the capital is unclear and the palace is not peaceful, so Commander Wu is requested to enter the city as soon as possible. To avoid accidents, it is best to kill Ye Shengying first."

Wu Yan listened quietly, his complexion flickered under the dancing flames, but remained as calm as before, without any waves.

"How is the situation in the palace?"

Zhu Er frowned, and seemed to hesitate for a moment, before he said: "When the young ones came out, there was just a banquet in the palace. The situation of the Holy Majesty is not very good... The third master ordered the young ones to wait until the commander."

Wu Yan hummed dispensably, pondered for a moment, waved his hand to Lu Zhong, and whispered a word of advice, and then said to Zhu Er: "Since the people from the Ye family are at the gate of the city, you can lead the way!"

Zhu Er responded with a deep voice, turned his head and gestured to a group of black-clothed guards, and followed Wu Yan to sneak past the gate of the city. (To be continued.
