The night sky is deep and the drizzle is continuous.
Dark shadows walked into Qin's Village one after another, wearing black masks, and even the knife in their hands was painted black, silent and ghostly.
The low mountains and woods gave these people an excellent cover. The villagers were so poor that they didn't have enough to eat, and there was no food left to feed the dogs that guarded the house. The group of people entered the village smoothly, and formed a team of five people. They quickly dispersed and rushed straight to the village.
Toward each thatched hut, the one in front was holding a powerful crossbow, and the arrows were as cold as the fangs of poisonous snakes.
A group of people rushed to a thatched house. One person inserted a short knife into the crack of the door and fiddled with it a few times. The door opened and the group of people rushed in. The crossbow arrows were shot out first and disappeared into the bedding. The others also rushed in and faced each other.
The bedding was slashed violently, blood splattered, and it was extremely cruel.
Soon, everyone in the house was killed, even the children were spared. The gang quickly searched, found the money and evacuated, not forgetting to close the door and quickly disappeared into the night.
Soon, this group of people met at the entrance of the village, and one person whispered: "Sir, all teams have withdrawn, all the intended targets have been killed, no one is alive, and all the money has been recovered."
"withdraw!"
The group quickly withdrew from Qinjiazhuang and disappeared in the drizzle.
…
Almost at the same time, in Chang'an City.
Near Duke Yi's Mansion, after the patrolling city guards left, a shop door opened slightly, and people wearing masks, black uniforms, and holding various cold weapons rushed out, hunched over and walking quickly.
, went straight to the Yiguo Duke's Mansion, not a hundred but a few.
"Crack!"
A bolt of lightning tore open the night, illuminating the plaque of Yiguo Gongfu. The four gilt characters "Yiguo Gongfu" were like iron hooks and silver strokes, giving off a certain murderous atmosphere.
It was too late at night and no one was guarding the door. There were only two lanterns hanging alone on the wall. The red candles flickered and illuminated the door. It was so deserted and helpless in the drizzle.
The masked man in black rushed to the door. Someone took out his flying claw and threw it on the wall of the courtyard. He quickly climbed in and opened the door from the inside. A group of people rushed in. The last person gently closed the door to block the outside world.
This group of people seemed to be very familiar with the layout of the mansion, and they rushed towards the backyard where the bank vault was located. They were like devils coming out of hell, they were silent and agile, they were all obviously veterans.
Soon, the group of people came to the backyard, and the first person encountered something unknown. A hardwood as thick as an arm came roaring from an inconspicuous corner, and shot him in the face.
"Ah -" the man couldn't help but scream.
Immediately afterwards, a large vat fell from the roof and landed in front of a person. He took another step forward and hit him exactly. There was a loud bang and the vat shattered. The sound was particularly abrupt.
"What?" A voice shouted.
The sneak attack was exposed, and the group quickly dispersed, with several of them heading straight towards the direction of the shouts.
"Enemy attack!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Shouts and gongs sounded, but they disappeared again after only three rings. The masked men in black were divided into two, one part rushed into the backyard, and the doors of each wing were kicked open, while the other part formed a team of five people, until
He pounced on the guards who came after hearing the inquiry. The sword was fierce, the arrows were like locusts, and blood was flying.
The killing broke out instantly!
More guards were frightened and woke up. After all, they were veterans who had retired from the battlefield. Although they were much older, their experience was still there and they did not panic. They formed a tacit understanding to protect themselves and were not in a hurry to kill.
But there were too many people wearing masks in black, and they had powerful crossbows. They were very powerful in combat and had good experience. With one shot, most of the guards who had managed to organize fell down. The rest had to retreat, relying on houses to avoid the crossbow arrows, while shooting.
Retreat, the situation is not good.
Jia Youcai rushed up with a knife. When he saw the fierce masked man in black, his heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered Qin Huaidao's instructions when he left, and shouted quickly: "Quick, come closer to me, retreat, and protect your family."
"What should I do over there, Young Master?"
"There's no one over there, listen to me."
Everyone was very disciplined and retreated while fighting. When they came to the place where the servants lived in the east courtyard, they stopped. They relied on the houses and courtyard walls to set up defenses and no longer retreated.
"Hold on!" Jia Youcai shouted.
Further back is the residential area, where there are wives and children. Everyone is risking their lives. Someone brought a crossbow and shot the two people who tried to rush in to the ground. The masked man in black was frightened back. Seeing that the guards were only protecting themselves, they also had crossbows, but
If you don't rush out, stop attacking and spread out to defend.
The two sides confronted each other.
One person rushed to Jia Youcai and shouted: "There are no less than a hundred people, well-equipped, well-established advance and retreat, and tacit cooperation. The fighting style is quite similar to that of the military. I am afraid that they are veterans, and the young master is no longer there. What should I do?"
"Go to the east gate immediately and find the city guards, Baiqisi, hurry up!"
The other party left in a hurry.
Jia Youcai continued to shout: "Listen up, our family is behind us, we can't retreat any further."
"No, there's a fire." someone shouted.
Everyone looked up and saw a fire coming from the direction where Qin Huaidao lived. One person rushed to Jia Youcai and shouted: "Young Master's residence may be burned down. We can't hide here. Let's kill him. We will kill him in the sky."
Jia Youcai stared at the direction of the fire and wanted to kill him, but Qin Huaidao's instructions kept ringing like a curse, and he quickly said: "No, the young master made an explanation before leaving, to protect my life!"
"But?" The other party was anxious.
"No but, just do as the young master says, and I will bear all the blame." Jia Youcai interrupted.
"These bastards—"
Many people nearby were yelling and swearing, staring at the spot where the fire was rising, and their fighting spirit was burning, but good discipline prevented everyone from running around impulsively.
Not long after, the masked man in black who was guarding outside suddenly retreated. Someone shouted: "The murderer ran away, should I pursue him?"
"Catch them, bite them from a distance, don't engage in combat." Jia Youcai roared murderously, taking the lead to catch up, followed closely by the others.
As soon as they chased them to the door, a row of crossbow arrows suddenly shot from outside. The two people in front fell down. The others hurriedly hid to the sides. After waiting for a while, no one came to kill them. Everyone rushed to the door and saw that the murderers had all disappeared.
.
Jia Youcai's face turned livid with anger, he pointed at a few people and shouted: "You guys go after him, spread out and look for him. If you find the target, you are not allowed to fight. Just follow him and find out his identity."
The person whose name was called quickly rushed in different directions.
"Others, follow me and put out the fire."
Everyone quickly rushed to the backyard, looking at the burned wing and their lungs were about to explode. Fortunately, it was drizzling and the fire did not start. Jia Youcai shouted: "Go, call everyone, get tools, and put out the fire!"
"Here!"
…
In the harem, Li Er, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by someone. He came out full of evil spirits, stared at Wang De and asked coldly: "What happened in the middle of the night?"
Wang De felt as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast. He shrunk his neck and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, Duke Yi's mansion was attacked by someone. There were many casualties. There was a fire in the backyard. The identity of the murderer is unknown."
"Wha...what?" Li Er couldn't believe what he heard and asked, "Say it again."
Wang De's eyes twitched with fright, and he said bravely: "The Duke Yi's mansion was attacked by someone, with many casualties. There was a fire in the backyard, and the identity of the murderer is unknown."
"You bastard, you really dare to take action, pass the decree, seal the city, and order Lu Guogong to conduct a thorough investigation. If you don't cooperate, you will be killed!"
"According to the order!"
Wang De quickly trotted away.
Li Er looked in the direction of the Wang family with cold eyes.
