At midnight, although the curfew has been lifted in Ningxia City, operations to hunt down the remnants of the rebels have occurred from time to time in recent days, so the streets are empty after dark. On the main streets, the footsteps of patrolling soldiers and the hoofbeats of cavalry can occasionally be heard on the main streets.
The common people woke up from their dreams, reminding them that the city was still not peaceful.
The mansion where Dongcheng Gu Dayong and others settled was silent at the moment. This house was the residence of a wealthy family in Ningxia City. After being spotted by Gu Dayong and Yang Yu, it became the residence of Dongchang and Jinyiwei personnel.
.
The main reason is that this house is big enough. Walking in from the front courtyard are two large courtyards in the atrium. The area of the east and west courtyards is not small, each has more than a dozen rooms. With the miscellaneous small courtyards and buildings, this is barely enough.
It can accommodate nearly 500 people in Dongchang and Jinyiwei. It is a little small, but it is barely enough.
In the East Crossing courtyard, lived Gu Dayong and his two hundred Dongchang servants. In the West Crossing courtyard, lived the Jin Yiwei and his entourage.
At this moment, the third watch has passed, thin clouds in the sky have obscured the moonlight, and the house is hazy.
When everything was completely still and quiet, a lantern lit up at the hanging flower door of the east courtyard, and a dozen blurry figures filed out following the lantern.
After they quietly came out of the hanging flower door, they walked through the path between the flowers and trees in the atrium and went straight to the hanging door of the west courtyard.
At the gate of the West Crossing Courtyard, two guards in uniforms who were keeping watch were squatting in the corner and dozing off. The dozen or so people did not stop, but walked past the two men, straight into the West Crossing Courtyard, and walked quickly to the upper room not far away.
go.
There were also guards in Jinyi standing vigil under the corridor of the upper room. When they saw the lantern coming, the two guards in Jinyi shouted in a deep voice: "Who?"
"I am Qin Deshun." Someone in the team whispered.
"It turns out it's Qin's stall. Why are you here so late?" the school captain hurriedly saluted.
"On the order of Eunuch Gu, I have come to invite Zhao Baihu and Wang Baihu to discuss important matters." Half of Qin Deshun's face swayed in the shadow of the lantern.
"The two hundred households have fallen asleep. Let's wake them up and report them." The two Jinyi guards said hurriedly.
Qin Deshun nodded slightly and stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back. Two guards in golden clothes pushed open the door and entered the house. The moment they turned around and entered the door, Qin Deshun waved his hand in the darkness, and the two people behind him jumped forward very quickly, one person.
One of them strangled the necks of the two captains from behind, and a cold light flashed in his hand, sinking into the backs of the two captains.
The two captains didn't even make a sound before they died. The two captains behind them held their bodies and slowly lowered them to the ground to prevent the sound of their bodies falling to the ground.
Qin Deshun stood on the corridor and glanced around the yard to make sure that he had not disturbed the other Jinyi Guards. Then he turned around and made a gesture. More than ten people nodded silently, quickly divided into two teams and entered the main room, and ran away.
The east and west wing rooms. The east and west wing rooms of the upper house are where two hundred households live.
The doors of the east and west wing rooms were ajar, and it was dark inside. The two groups rushed in without stopping. Qin Deshun led five people into the east wing room. They rushed to the bed, and saw only a thin quilt under the curtain.
It was raised, as if someone was sleeping soundly in it. Qin Deshun waved his hand, and all the fans drew their swords and greeted the person on the bed.
Puff puff puff! Tsk tsk tsk!
There was a continuous sound of tearing silk, and the thin quilt on the bed was slashed and stabbed dozens of times in an instant, and rags flew everywhere. However, there was no movement under the thin quilt.
The crowd felt strange, and Qin Deshun also felt a little strange. He stepped forward, reached into the ragged quilt, and pulled out a mess of grass. His face suddenly changed color.
"No! It's a scam! Leave quickly."
Qin Deshun shouted in a low voice and quickly exited with his people. He was met by five or six other fans exiting from the opposite room.
“Big stall!”
The officer on the opposite side was about to report the news that the assassination had failed. Qin Deshun waved his hand and shouted: "Quickly leave!"
More than ten people rushed out, but what they saw in front of them shocked them. They saw many dark shadows standing in the yard at unknown heights. A dozen torches lit up, illuminating the scene in front of them.
Zhao Yong and Wang Qian stood more than a dozen steps away from the corridor, holding embroidered spring knives in their hands, with cold expressions. Behind them, hundreds of guards in brocade uniforms stood in the yard, each holding a sword and glaring at a dozen of them. Fanzi.
"Hey, Zhao Baihu, Wang Baihu, why are you here? What are you doing standing in the yard so late at night?" Qin Deshun moved his steps and said with a smile.
"Son of a bitch, the castrated dog is really vicious. Fortunately, I'm lucky. If I hadn't been prepared, I would have been chopped into pieces by you right now. Qin Deshun, you bitch, what else do you have to say?" Zhao Yong shouted coldly. .
Qin Deshun sneered and said: "What did Zhao Baihu say? Why can't I understand? I am here to invite you to discuss matters on the order of Eunuch Gu."
While Qin Deshun was talking, he moved slowly and observed the surrounding terrain.
"Bah, are you inviting us to discuss matters? Are you here with a knife? Gu Dayong wants to kill me to silence them, do you think we don't know?" Wang Qian shouted coldly.
Qin Deshun said: "How can this happen? Where do you start talking about it?"
Zhao Yong yelled and scolded: "Why are you nagging them? If that's the case, let's kill the fish and kill the net. Let's shoot!"
Zhao Yong gave an order, and dozens of guards in golden robes beside him immediately bent their bows and set arrows. In an instant, the bowstrings buzzed, and dozens of feathered arrows shot out.
Qin Deshun reacted very quickly. When Zhao Yong finished speaking, his body had already moved. He raised his foot and kicked a fan next to him towards Zhao Yong and others in front of him. He jumped up and reached behind the pillars.
Swish, swish, the feather arrows came. At a distance of ten or twenty steps, it was impossible to avoid the random arrows at such a close range. There were loud screams, and except for Qin Deshun, more than ten other soldiers were shot instantly. Become a hedgehog.
Because Qin Deshun launched his weapon in advance, he was already hiding behind the pillars when the arrow was fired. Mud and rocks splashed on the pillars where the arrow was shot, but it did not hurt him at all. Taking advantage of the gap after the arrow was shot, Qin Deshun's figure suddenly exploded. He got up and rushed sideways.
"Kill him." Zhao Yong shouted.
The two school lieutenants rushed towards them. Qin Deshun slashed one of them with the long knife in his hand. He stepped on the edge of the flower bed with his tiptoes and flew toward the short tree in front. The next moment, he jumped up and threw himself into the dark night.
"Swish, swish, swish!" More than a dozen feather arrows were shot in the direction he was rushing towards. The flowers, trees and leaves rustled, but there was no response. Someone shouted at the door. It was Qin Deshun who was knocked over the wall when he walked away. The captain at the door noticed the sound.
A school captain wanted to chase him, but Zhao Yong shouted: "Don't chase me. A monk who can run away can't run away from the temple. Brothers, you have all seen it with your own eyes. Gu Da used this gelding to kill Commander Yang during the day. At night They came to assassinate me and Wang Baihu again. The bastards like the castrated dog and Dongchang want to kill us all here, take credit for our heads, and slander us for rebellion. Can we just sit back and wait to be killed? They want ours. Fate, what should we do?"
"Kill these sons of bitches." The captains shouted loudly.
"Okay. Let's rush into the east courtyard and kill the eggless gelding Gu Dayong and the bunch of bastards in Dongchang. Wang Baihu and I will bear all the responsibilities from now on. We will not affect any of our brothers.
." Zhao Yong shouted loudly.
"Kill, kill those bastards from Dongchang." The captains shouted loudly.
Zhao Yong nodded, raised his knife and shouted: "Kill!" He took the lead and rushed out of the Chuihua Gate.
"Kill! Kill!" the captains shouted loudly, and followed Zhao Yong, Wang Qian and others as they rushed out of the door.
In the East Courtyard, Gu Dayong had already learned the news from Qin Deshun who had escaped. The nearly two hundred East Factory servants had not slept at all, because Gu Dayong was worried that there would be mistakes, so he quickly gathered together at this moment.
.
When the imperial guards from the West Cross Courtyard rushed out shouting and killing, the guards from the East Cross Courtyard also rushed out.
Gu Dayong originally wanted to calm down the situation and make some explanations. When Zhao Yong and Wang Qian saw Gu Dayong, they couldn't help shouting: "Kill the gelding Gu Dayong! Kill!"
Gu Dayong didn't have a chance to explain. When he saw the other party rushing towards him like crazy, he had no choice but to curse with a livid face: "The Jinyi Guards have mutinied, kill without mercy!"
The soldiers and horses from both sides rushed to one place, and the sound of swords clashing was heard, and they fought in one place. For a moment, the figures of people with torches shook in the whole courtyard, and the shouts of killing were loud.
Don't look at the fact that these Dongchang fanzi and Jinyi guards seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact the conflict between the factory guards has been going on for many years. The two sides compete for credit and prisoners, and conflicts often arise. In fact, they can't stand each other.
The other party. Even though the factory guards are now in the hands of Liu Jin, the prejudices among the people below are still difficult to eliminate. In addition, tonight's incident has been misled into a life-or-death vendetta, and everyone fights with extreme ruthlessness.
The scene quickly became extremely bloody. Both sides entered a desperate fighting mode, and soon people on both sides began to suffer casualties. Once there were casualties, it was even more exciting for both sides to be desperate. Four to five hundred people crowded into a small space, slashing with swords.
Arrows were flying everywhere, and the house soon became like a hell on earth.
…
On a small building not far from the house, a group of people stretched their necks and looked at everything that happened in the house, and they were all dumbfounded.
At the beginning of the morning, they came here and waited to see the good show. When everyone was sleepy, Chen Shiyi even slept for a while. Both Chen Shiyi and Zhang Yin thought that the Hou Ye might have miscalculated this time, and the good show was on.
.
The peaceful house instantly turned into a fighting battlefield. The Dongchang officers and the Jinyi Guardsmen really started fighting. The battle was so intense that everyone who watched the show was dumbfounded and excited.
"Master Hou, they really started to do it. Oh, this is really a good show. Place a bet, which side will win? I bet on Jinyiwei. After all, we are from Jinyiwei Yamen, those dogs from Dongchang
How can Zaizi be a rival?" Chen Shiyi said with a smile.
Zhang Yin shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, I think Dongchang will win, not to mention that they have a small number of people, but they are all elites. That Qin Deshun's martial arts is very good, I'm afraid you may not be able to defeat him even Brother Chen. He alone,
It would be difficult to cope with it. What’s more, there must be other masters around Gu Dayong.”
"That's not necessarily the case. The number of Jin Yiwei is nearly a hundred more than that of Fanzi. Is the captain of the general office really good? It's hard for two fists to defeat four hands, and a good man can't stand up to the crowd. Besides, Qin Deshun's martial arts skills are ordinary in my opinion. He must be the Jin Yiwei.
The captain wins. What do you think, Lord Marquis?" Chen Shiyi shouted.
Zhang Yanling waved her hand and said with a smile: "Nonsense. We have to clean up the mess. Otherwise, they will all die in a while. Especially if Gu Dayong dies, it will be boring."
Chen Shi said: "I really don't understand. If Gu Da died by fighting with fire, why don't we do it? This guy deserves to die. The Marquis still has to save him."
Zhang Yin said in a deep voice: "The Marquis has his own plan, don't say anything anymore, gather the troops quickly."
