When Xu discovered the Beijing troops hiding in the shadows behind the trees, it was too late.

At this moment, the two sides were less than ten steps apart. The crossbow arrows were invincible at such a close distance, and there were obvious signs of quenching poison on the arrowheads.

Faced with these thieves of unknown origin, the Zangfeng Guardsmen who had been waiting for most of the night did not hesitate at all and boldly took down the machine gun the moment Nian Xu opened his mouth.

More than a dozen crossbow arrows shot out of the wind and instantly hit the chests of several thieves.

At this moment, Nian Xu almost didn't think about it. He pulled the subordinate who was good at imitating the sounds of various animals in front of him to block the arrows. The others showed off their magical powers, and some jumped to the side with their superb body skills.

Some of them scurried backward like mad dogs.

"Go inside!"

Nian Xu struggled to throw his lifeless men to the opposite side, then turned around and ran away. He was able to control these rivers and lakes for King Lu, and his martial arts skills were very good. Every throw and jump showed that he was extremely solid.

effort.

"Whoosh!"

A crossbow arrow flew past Nian Xu's ear, shocking him into a cold sweat.

Although six people were killed in a single encounter, the remaining nine people managed to escape from the crossbow range of the Zangfeng Guards and rushed to the Yamen's house desperately. They threw the black oil bottles in their bags around and then lit them on fire.

He threw the fire folder out, and soon there were flames appearing in several houses in the back house.

At this time, Nian Xu finally realized that something was wrong.

The imperial office is too quiet tonight!

Whether it was how easily they slipped in through the corner door, how quickly they walked through the many houses to reach the back house, or whether they were shouting after discovering the ambush and setting the fire now, such noisy actions in this late night were easily lost in the quiet night.

The entire office was like a quiet place. There was no noise from anyone except themselves, including the Beijing troops who were ambushing in the corner.

Nian Xu turned around and saw another situation that made his heart palpitate.

After the ambush soldiers fired a round of crossbow arrows, they actually watched them flee into the inner house without any desire to pursue them.

One of his subordinates said in a panic: "Brother, something seems wrong."

"Shut up, set fire, kill people!" Nian Xu gritted his teeth and said.

With his experience and experience, how could he not see the abnormality, but now that the matter was imminent, they had to shoot, and they had no room to retreat. Nian Xu came to assassinate Pei Yue tonight with the intention of dying to repay King Lu and Princess Lu for treating him.

Because he knew that even if he was lucky enough to kill Pei Yue, he would never be able to escape from this office.

Now he was only ambushed once by the opponent, and he didn't even see the face of the real owner. How could he have the dignity to run away?

What's more, whether he can escape is still a question. After all, it seems that Pei Yue has been prepared for it long ago.

The back house was far bigger than they thought, and they sprinted all the way in, setting fire to it along the way, but the further they went, the more frightened they became.

Logically speaking, they have staged such a large battle, and the assassination has turned into a strong attack. The Beijing army should come out to surround them and wipe them out. There are already many places on fire. If they continue to burn in this manner, this office will probably burn down.

Into ruins.

Even so, there was still no movement around.

Except for the sound of the fire burning wood and the sound of their own voices, there seemed to be no other people in the yamen.

Nian Xu's hands are trembling slightly. He is not afraid to fight with others, but now no one is coming out to fight with them!

"careful!"

The person behind him quickly grabbed Nian Xu, but the person next to him couldn't control his forward momentum. The ground in front of him was obviously flat, but it collapsed when the person stepped on it.

Dust and smoke filled the air, and a deep pit three feet square appeared in front of everyone.

The man who fell was lying prone, with several sharp short spears piercing his upper body directly, and the bloody spear points sticking out from his back.

Nian Xu looked around, with fire raging behind him and darkness in front of him. He couldn't help shouting angrily: "Pei Yue, get out of here!"

"idiot."

He was answered by a voice that came from nowhere, and then two rows of Beijing troops suddenly stood up from the grass on the left and right sides. Unsurprisingly, they were also holding repeating crossbows.

"I kill you!"

Nian Xu waved his weapon almost crazily, gritted his teeth and rushed to the left.

The Zangfeng Guards officer facing him had a cold expression on his face, and he clicked the trigger of the repeating crossbow without any hesitation.

"Whoosh!"

More than thirty repeating crossbows were fired at the same time.

…

In the mansion across the long street to the south of the Yamen, after hearing the roar in the distance, Wang Liyang immediately climbed up the backyard wall and looked at the Yamen across the street.

The middle-aged man he called Uncle Qi stood inside the wall and asked solemnly: "What's going on?"

No matter how good his eyesight was, Wang Liyang could not see what was happening in the back house opposite, but he could see the firelight that suddenly illuminated the night.

He jumped off the wall and said solemnly: "I don't know, there's a fire behind the office."

Uncle Qi said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the Pei family guessed that someone would attack tonight, so they used suspicion to scare us away?"

Wang Liyang thought for a moment and denied: "Uncle Qi, although Pei Yue is full of tricks, he is very proud and should not engage in such tricks. If he really guessed that we would take action tonight, he would definitely set up various plans in advance.

How could such an ambush cause the government office to be burned down before we even took action? Even if he could scare us off, who would believe that there was really a sneak attack tonight? In this case, wouldn't he become a joke? "

The middle-aged man nodded solemnly and said, "That makes sense. Could it be that Miss Chen started the attack in advance?"

Wang Liyang shook his head and said: "It can't be her. We are responsible for attacking the imperial envoy's office tonight, and she will ambush Xue Tao halfway. Although Miss Chen is a bit paranoid, she will never act rashly. Even if the situation changes, she will find a way to notify me.

."

Uncle Qi looked at the nearly a hundred Xiwu masters who had stood up and stood in awe, and asked slowly: "Then what should we do?"

There are still two hours before Mao Shi, which is one hour earlier than the originally agreed time to start, which means there will be many variables if we start at this time.

Wang Liyang did not hesitate for too long and said firmly: "We can't wait any longer. If we don't take advantage of the chaos and kill everyone inside, there will be no chance of a sneak attack tonight until all the people inside are killed by Pei Yue."

Uncle Qi nodded happily and said: "The decisive decision to kill is worthy of being a thousand-mile horse of our Wang family."

Wang Liyang did not answer this sentence. He looked at the spies standing in the courtyard and said seriously: "Everyone, without further delay, we will rush into the yamen behind and avenge the soldiers of Da Wu!"

"kill!"

Nearly a hundred people made this short sound in unison, and the atmosphere in the hospital suddenly became cold.

Holding his ancestor's sword in his right hand, Wang Liyang jumped over the courtyard wall first, then crossed the long street as fast as lightning and rushed straight to the imperial envoy's office.

Behind him were nearly a hundred Xiwu masters, sweeping past like a surging wave.

He is not Chen Xizhi, let alone Nian Xu. Once he has decided to take action, he will not look forward or backward, let alone fear of being discovered.

With a distance of more than ten feet, he arrived almost instantly. Facing the closed gate of the office, Wang Liyang picked up the sword with one hand and let out a soft drink in his Dantian.

The long sword rose and brought out a cold light with great force.
