"Don't think about revenge. If you hurt my apprentice, you will naturally have to avenge it by the master."
"Master..." Xue Lengxiang's eyes flickered and she was very moved.
"You guys should stop showing off the deep relationship between master and apprentice."
The door was pushed open again, and Yue Lingbo walked in.
"So fast?" Xia Shang was a little surprised.
"I happened to be nearby. I saw the signal and came over. I knew that nothing good would happen if I received Yueru's signal at this time. Sure enough, you are here. Tell me, what's the matter?"
"I have found out where that person is hiding and am preparing to take action at dawn."
Yue Lingbo frowned at first, then opened the door and looked at the sky outside: "It's already the fourth watch, and it will be dawn soon."
"So it's very urgent now."
Yue Lingbo looked at Yueru: "Go and get our people over here."
"Yes." Yueru accepted the order and left the room.
"Are you helping me like this? Aren't you afraid of harming your own disciples?" Xia Shang asked with a frown.
"If people in the martial arts world are greedy for life and afraid of death, why should they practice martial arts?"
"I'm just asking you for help. I just want you to help me from the side and don't send your own people to the front line to fight for their lives. That's what fools do."
Xia Shang then informed Yue Lingbo of his plan and asked her to quickly prepare some flour to deal with possible changes.
After explaining to Yue Lingbo, Xia Shang went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate again.
He is not the leader now, but he can still be regarded as the reception minister. Now there are external forces that pose a threat to the Japanese mission. Under such circumstances, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has the obligation to send people to assist in the operation.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate is a force of the imperial court, but there is more than one force representing the imperial court.
Xia Shang used his shamelessness to go to the Prince's Mansion, so that Li Xiangyang had to express something.
He had just said that he would put aside his prejudices and speak openly to the outside world. Now is the time to test whether what he said is true.
No need to think about how Li Xiangyang would send some elite personnel to take action at this juncture.
In this way, the main force came from the Japanese mission, the disciples of Shuiyue Villa on one side, the power of the Metropolitan Inspectorate on the other, and the power of Li Xiangyang on the other.
With the forces from all directions converging, Xia Shang guessed that it would be difficult for those Japanese assassins to escape even if they were gods, right?
The key is that time is running out now
, Xia Shang did not have time to notify more people.
The sky gradually became brighter, and Xia Shang arrived at the street where the target point was located.
That house has two doors at the front and back, two intersections on the main street in the front, and only an alley exit in the yard at the back.
The three parties informed by Xia Shang guarded three intersections respectively to prevent anyone from escaping in the chaos. The Japanese warriors led by Ling Si took charge of the main attack and rushed directly into the courtyard.
At first glance, such a simple plan seemed to have no problems, but Xia Shang was still a little worried. After all, the action was sudden and no one knew what emergencies might happen.
The people Zero Four brought quickly lurked around early.
Before Xia Shang noticed Ling Si, the other party appeared behind Xia Shang: "Have your people been arranged?"
"It's been arranged. But don't expect them to help you much. They are mainly responsible for some things that slip through the net."
The corner of Lingsi's lips raised: "This is our own internal matter, so naturally we won't expect too much from others."
After saying that, Zero Four looked at the sky: "The time has come, I'm going to take action."
Then, Ling Si disappeared beside Xia Shang, and then he saw countless black shadows flashing above his head, all rushing towards the houses in front.
After just ten seconds, the street returned to silence.
At both ends of the main street, Xia Shang could only see people from Shuiyue Villa and the Metropolitan Procuratorate watching from a distance, but there was no movement inside the houses.
Quiet, absolutely quiet.
Several minutes had passed, and the house in front of him was still calm as usual.
Xia Shang was a little worried, saying that he didn't dare do anything. There would always be some noise inside, right? Why is there no movement until now?
Xia Shang was thinking when suddenly Yue Lingbo appeared behind him.
"What's going on? Why is there no movement at all?"
It turned out that Yue Lingbo also sensed something fishy and couldn't help but come over to ask.
Xia Shang frowned, not knowing how to answer, so he asked: "Where are your people? Have you noticed anything strange?"
Yue Lingbo shook his head.
Xia Shang looked at the courtyard door in front of him: "Why don't you go in and take a look?"
Yue Lingbo was a little worried: "I'll go in with you."
With that said, the two of them prepared to climb over the courtyard wall.
Just as the two were about to approach the courtyard wall, they suddenly felt something strange coming from the courtyard wall.
Yue Lingbo didn't react at all, but Xia Shang threw a handful of flour in front of him.
As soon as the flour passed by, a figure was reflected on the wall!
Yue Lingbo turned his face aside and drew his sword in an instant, stabbing the figure in one stroke. Then a person appeared in front of him, with a blood hole in his chest, and blood was flowing out quickly.
The person died immediately, but this still made Yue Lingbo jump: "How is this possible? The person actually merged with the wall?"
"Forgot what I told you before?"
"Is this the ninja you call?"
Xia Shang's expression was serious: "I think it should be like this. We'd better not go in, keep our position, and don't let any fish slip through the net."
"I have to remind my people that if someone can really slip through the wall, my disciples will definitely not be defenseless."
With that said, Yue Lingbo was ready to leave.
At this moment, a cockcrow came from the inner courtyard.
This rooster crow was very strange, and it was very long. As the rooster crow started, the three homeless households around the target yard suddenly opened their doors, and then more than a dozen panicked people rushed out from inside.
Shouting and running away in all directions.
Xia Shang couldn't understand the current situation at all. There was no movement at the target point he was guarding. Instead, there was a problem with the surrounding residences.
As the people poured out, the people on guard at both ends of the street also panicked. They did not expect such a situation to happen. Seeing that some people were about to rush out of the street, people quickly came out to stop them.
The same situation occurred in the alley in the backyard, where there was only one exit, guarded by a group of people sent by Li Xiangyang.
The leader is Jian Ruo, the famous master of Yin and Yang of Qijue Sect.
They didn't know much about the situation, but they weren't very nervous. Some people around them seemed very dissatisfied: "I really don't know what His Highness is thinking? He actually asked a master to guard a house."
Jian Ruo yawned and relaxed: "Stop talking nonsense, just watch."
Just as he finished speaking, a group of people rushed over.
What happened was sudden and obviously abnormal. Jian Ruo lowered her voice: "Stop them, no one can leave!"
More than a dozen of his men stepped forward and blocked a small alley.
Jian Ruo sneered: "Escape among the people? Can you think of such a despicable method? You are simply looking down on people!"
