This sudden ups and downs made all four of them let out a sigh of relief.
After waiting for more than ten breaths, everyone got up and hid the three corpses in the grass, and then hurriedly continued forward.
Walking to the end of a flower path, you walked out of the corner between the two courtyards, and you saw a small garden.
When looking from a high place, I found that after passing this garden and walking two steps forward into the courtyard, I would reach the real core of the main house.
But when they walked out of this corner, they couldn't move anymore.
Because outside this flower path, a dozen steps away on the right hand side, there were two people wearing secret guard clothes standing.
Normally, these two secret guards should be hiding, but for some reason, they didn't hide, but were chatting there.
When Gu Yuan and the other four saw this, they all retreated. Li Cheng turned around and climbed up the high wall of the yard next to him.
Li Cheng squatted on the wall and carefully observed the scene in the small garden in front of him. He paid special attention to the eaves with carved beams and arches, as well as the pillars in the distance and around the big trees, to see if there were any hidden guards hiding.
When he found that there were no obvious traces, he came down again, briefly summarized what he saw, and then exchanged what he saw with the little eagle who came down from the wall of another courtyard, and then decided again.
These two secret guards must be killed by force.
Forced killing will inevitably make noises. The crossbows carried by Little Eagle and Zuo Zhan cannot shoot at such a long distance, and shooting them is also not feasible.
The key point is that the positions of these two people are too important. If the four of them want to pass through this area, they have to continue to move forward. If they return to the other end of the flower path and continue to move forward along the corridor of the patrol route,
There is a possibility of encountering patrolling guards at any time, which is simply not feasible.
If we can only go from here, we must get rid of these two hidden guards.
But judging from the conversation between the two secret guards, it seemed that the two men had no intention of finding a place to hide, nor did they seem to have any intention of being on guard.
The two people were chatting happily. Although their voices were lowered, they were not chatting in a fixed place. Instead, they were walking around casually, and as they moved, they seemed to be moving towards the entrance of the alley.
Seeing that it was getting more and more dangerous, if they turned around after a while, they would meet Gu Yuan and the others face to face.
Gu Yuan thought of hiding for a while, but there were sounds coming from the two courtyards next to him. If he went in hastily, he would have to be more alert and alert more people.
Little Eagle and Li Cheng could only go in first to check the situation.
Soon, they exited again. The four of them made gestures and after silent communication, they determined that the people in the two houses near the garden were all sleeping soundly. Gu Yuan and the others decided to take action.
While everyone was investigating the situation, the two chatting secret guards were getting closer and closer to the entrance of the alley, and they might spot everyone at any time.
We have reached the corner here, there are almost no flowers and plants to hide in, and the moon door at this corner does not have a thick enough door edge to hide it.
Li Cheng, Little Eagle and Zuo Zhan climbed up the wall on the left, while Gu Yuan stayed on the ground alone and did not climb the wall.
In the courtyard on the left, there is a corridor in front of the entire wall. Although Li Cheng and the three of them climbed up the wall, the location of the two secret guards was a corridor extending in front of the wall.
Under the corridor.
Li Cheng, Little Eagle and Zuo Zhan couldn't stand on the wall and attack the two secret guards directly, which is why they didn't immediately attract the attention of the two secret guards after they climbed up.
The three of them moved cautiously on the corridor. Gu Yuan also counted silently in his mind. When he counted to five, he rushed out in one step.
Among the two secret guards who were chatting, one was facing away from him and the other was facing him.
The dagger in his hand was thrown directly towards the back of the guard who was facing away from him. He raised his hand from a mere five steps away and without any accident, the dagger sank straight into the back.
The secret guard fell straight down. The secret guard who was chatting with him was startled and cursed in a low voice, "Fuck!" He immediately drew his sword and was about to chop Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan raised his hand and struck him on the throat.
But the three people who climbed down from the eaves were not vegetarians. One of them used his feet to clamp the body of the hidden guard behind him to prevent the dead body from falling to the ground and making too much noise.
One of them grabbed the rafters of the eaves with both hands, and clamped the arms of the bodyguard with his feet. The other used his feet to hook the tiles, and fell down. The knife in his hand made a baby bird throw into the forest, and then pierced the body of the bodyguard.
On the neck of the secret guard.
After Li Cheng, Xiao Yingying and Zuo Zhan all came down from the eaves, they carried the two bodies into the flower path and hid them in the grass.
The four of them waited for a while, but saw that no one was there. They were awakened by the guard's lowered voice, "F*ck", and then continued to move forward. They clung to the shadows under the corridor and quickly passed through this place.
garden.
But just halfway through, four servants with sweeping tools came out from the corner of a corridor on the other side of the garden.
Gu Yuan was really speechless. There were still two hours before dawn. Do the people in this courtyard like to work out in the middle of the night so much?
First one person splashes water, then two people dust it, and finally one person shovels soil.
The closer Gu Yuan and the others got to their destination, the more cautious they became. The moment they saw these four servants, they all hid in the shadows and tried not to make any noise.
But these four servants obviously came to clean the garden, and they swept along the corridor.
There is no way to avoid it.
Gu Yuan glanced at Little Eagle and Zuo Zhan hanging on the roof of the corridor, and winked at Li Cheng who was hiding behind the pillar. The four of them waited for a few servants to walk in before suddenly making a move.
Four people jumped out, one person responsible for each, and they were knocked unconscious by attacking the back of the neck with a knife.
The process is not difficult.
The difficulty is that the four servants have something to do in their hands. While knocking the four servants unconscious, they must control their bodies and the things in their hands. Don't let them fall to the ground.
A huge noise.
This is the only difficulty in this ambush attack.
Fortunately, Gu Yuan and the four of them cooperated well with each other. It should not be too easy for four cultivators to deal with four ordinary people.
Gu Yuan controlled the water-carrying man, and while putting his foot on the bucket, he put his arms around the stunned servant to ensure that he would not fall.
Li Cheng and Little Eagle attacked the broomsticks. Using the brooms to support their bodies would ensure that the two unconscious servants would not fall to the ground.
The difficulty lies in the servant who is shoveling the soil. He is using a shovel. After Zuo Zhan knocks him unconscious, the raised shovel is about to fall uncontrollably.
