Coincidentally, when Zhao Deyan ordered Xuanye to summon troops to attack Taiyuan Inn, Li Junxian was just tidying up his troops and preparing to go to Tongfu Inn.

Although the two sides started to act almost at the same time, there was a problem with this, that is, there were only more than ten riders under Li Junxian. If Zhao Deyan dared to attack the inn, it means that the number of people under his command was definitely not only more than ten, and there were probably one or two hundred people. Moreover, it was impossible for all of these and two hundred people to live in Tongfu Inn (that would be too conspicuous). In this way, Zhao Deyan's speed of gathering troops on the side must be much slower than Li Junxian's side!

The house where Li Junxian and others temporarily lived was less than one mile away from Tongfu Inn, so no matter how you count it, Zhao Deyan could not gather all his troops to set off between Li Junxian and the others’ arrival at Tongfu Inn!

"Master of Defense! Not good!"

In the room of Tianzi, Zhao Deyan was about to go out to see how the people gathered. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Xuan Ye's voice coming from outside the door. Zhao Deyan felt a stern. At this critical moment, he was most afraid of accidents and most afraid of others saying "bad" to him. He quickly opened the door. Xuan Ye flashed in and closed the door. Without waiting for Zhao Deyan to ask, he clasped his fists and said:

"Master Guard, I just went to the inn shopkeeper's room and wanted him to help inform us to gather, but the room was empty. Manager Sun...is missing!"

"Disappeared~?"

Zhao Deyan frowned, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart. He thought that when they came to Taiyuan City, they did not choose to stay at Tongfu Inn. Because they were crowded, it was not convenient to hide when they lived in the inn together, and it was easy to be noticed by the shopkeeper and waiter in the inn. So at that time, only Zhao Deyan, Xuan Ye and Tianying lived in the inn, while the rest were lurking in various places in the city.

But later Wang Xinyuan and Wang Kui surrendered to them, and Zhao Deyan learned that the owner of Tongfu Inn actually had a lot to do with the second house of the Wang family. In this way, he didn't have to worry that all their people would be alert to the inn shopkeeper or waiter. He directly asked Xuanye to gather all the people lurking in the city into the inn and "stuck" into the spare guest rooms in the inn. As for the help of Gao Yong and Wang Kui, they arranged them in several private houses near Tongfu Inn!

It is precisely because Wang Kui, Gao Yong, Sun Dafu and others helped Zhao Deyan to "cover up" that they were able to hide the world and escape the disaster under the city-wide search of the government today.

Based on this, Zhao Deyan ordered Xuan Ye to summon people, and Xuan Ye would think of asking the inn shopkeeper Sun Dafu to help. Only in this way can all of them be gathered in the shortest time.

But Xuanye never expected that Sun Dafu, who had been staying in the inn these days, had disappeared!

"Didn't Gao Yong say that Sun Dafu will stay in the inn and cooperate with us these days? Why did he suddenly disappear? Could it be...?"

Zhao Deyan muttered dissatisfiedly, and then he suddenly thought of a possibility. His face suddenly became extremely gloomy. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "No! It is very likely that someone has set his sights on Tongfu Inn, and our place has been exposed!"

"We're exposed here~?"

Xuan Ye was shocked when he heard this, and asked subconsciously, then he quickly clasped his fists and said, "Please evacuate immediately, and the subordinates and others are willing to escort them to death!"

Zhao Deyan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. From the moment he planned Taiyuan, he knew that he was dancing on the wire rope. The more critical the time was, the less he could not panic, otherwise what was waiting for him would be doomed!

"Sun Dafu hasn't been here for long~?"

After his heart calmed down, Zhao Deyan looked at Xuan Ye and asked.

Xuan Ye shook his head and said, "I don't know! At dinner, I saw him in the hall. Oh, by the way, when I went to Manager Sun's room, I saw a cup of tea on the table, which was his favorite fairy tea to drink most on weekdays. When I went down, the tea had already cooled down. With Manager Sun's temperament, it was impossible to waste this good tea like this. Based on this, it is inferred that Manager Sun should have been missing for at least two quarters of an hour, or even longer!"

"At least two quarters of an hour!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Deyan's expression became even more serious. He thought for a moment and said:

"I'm afraid someone has already set his sights on Tongfu Inn. Sun Dafu, an old guy, is timid and afraid of life and death. As long as he asks a little, he will definitely not be able to hide things in his mouth. If the people who arrested Sun Dafu were from the Tang Dynasty government, they would definitely be suspicious of us and sent troops to surround the inn! Immediately notify us that the people in the inn gather in the backyard. Without waiting for others, we will go directly to the inn to capture the King of Wei!"

Xuan Ye was shocked when he heard this and said, "Don't wait for others? But there are only more than 100 people in the inn. How can we defeat the 200 imperial guards in the inn? According to the subordinates, we should first evacuate the inn and wait until we find a safe place to settle down, and then slowly plan it!"

Zhao Deyan also knew this? In fact, if he gave him some time and summoned all his subordinates, there would be no problem with the two hundred imperial guards in the inn, but now Tongfu Inn is likely to have been exposed and may be surrounded at any time. There is really not much time left for them!

He must take a risk!

Zhao Deyan's eyes were like lightning, staring at Xuan Ye and said in a deep voice: "Are you a guard or I a guard? Act according to the order. Li Tai must be captured alive tonight. Don't let me say it again~!"

Tonight, there is a rare empty defense in the inn. For Zhao Deyan, it is a god-given opportunity. He really doesn't want to let it go. Even if he is only 50% or 60% sure, he is willing to take a risk!

He even had a vague feeling that if he missed this opportunity, he would never have the chance to catch Li Tai in his life!

Those who are in the upper hand are most taboo at critical moments, so Zhao Deyan directly gave Xuan Ye a death order.

More than 100 people faced more than 200 well-trained imperial guards. It seemed that there was no chance of winning, but was it really impossible to win at all? In Zhao Deyan's opinion, it was obviously not like this!

First of all, Dugu Xin, the number one master on the Imperial Guard, was seriously injured and had not healed. One out of ten is not yet ten. Without Dugu Xin participating in the war, the Imperial Guard's strength will be greatly reduced;

As one goes up and down, they gathered a group of top masters led by Xuan Ye and Tianying. In terms of personal strength, his men were completely exterminated by the imperial guards!

The only chance of winning for the imperial guards is their exquisite battle formation cooperation, but Zhao Deyan's subordinates are all masters who can be one or ten, and there are many talented people among them, some who can use hidden weapons, some who can use poison, and some who are good at concealing assassination. After a "combination punch", it is entirely possible that the imperial guards will be confused. If the imperial guards are in chaos, then their hope of winning will be infinite!

Seeing that Zhao Deyan was talking so heavily, Xuan Ye didn't dare to talk back again even though he was dissatisfied. He gritted his teeth, clasped his fists and ordered, "I obey the order!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Zhao Deyan was anxious at this moment, so he naturally lost the intention of staying in the room. After Xuan Ye left, he stood there and paused for a while, and walked out of the door.

At this time, most of the guests in the inn had fallen asleep, and the servants in the inn had already rested. The gate of the inn was closed and the hall on the first floor was quiet.

Zhao Deyan went downstairs and stood in the hall on the first floor. He could hear a vague sound of footsteps and knocking on the door. He knew that Xuan Ye and the others were notifying his men to come out to gather. If it were normal, Zhao Deyan would definitely scold him because these noises would disturb other residents and servants in the inn, thus exposing their whereabouts. But now, he was about to take people to the inn to "confront Li Tai" with Dugu Xin. There was no need for them to continue hiding their whereabouts, just come out directly!

Frowning, Zhao Deyan took the lead and came to the backyard of the inn. After a while, the backyard was already full of people. Xuan Ye came to Zhao Deyan and whispered: "Master Wei, there are a total of 100 and 2 people living in the inn, and they are all here! In addition, Tianying has gone out to watch the wind. If someone follows him, he will warn us immediately!"

"good!"

Zhao Deyan nodded and said, "Go out from the back door! Let's go directly to the inn!"

"yes!"

Xuan Ye bowed to accept the order.

The back door of the inn was opened. Under Xuan Ye's leadership, everyone quickly walked through the back door of the inn and came to the alley behind the inn.

Under Zhao Deyan's instruction, this team of more than 100 people left the inn without any stop and ran towards the Taiyuan Inn to the north.

The reason why they did not ride horses was not because Zhao Deyan and his friends did not ride horses when they came to Taiyuan or they could not afford horses. It was because they were hiding in the city before Li Tai came. If so many horses were tied to one place, it was too conspicuous. After they entered the city, they hid all the war horses separately. If they were to look for it now, it would obviously take a long time. What Zhao Deyan and others lacked the most now is time, so they naturally would not have to work hard and time to lead the horses!

Fortunately, these people have the ability to drive, and it is not very difficult to travel with light skills. But there is one person who is the exception, that is their leader - Zhao Deyan!

Zhao Deyan is just a weak scholar with no power. Not only does this guy not have any martial arts skills, but it may be because of his serious lack of exercise. His physique is even a little weaker than normal people, so he didn't go far, so Zhao Deyan was so tired that he was out of breath!

Seeing this, Xuan Ye was about to come and take Zhao Deyan to run together. With his master's level martial arts cultivation, there was no problem with taking someone to use light skills to rush on the road.

"Be careful, Lord!"

When he came to Zhao Deyan, Xuan Ye was about to speak when suddenly a figure flashed from a distance. Xuan Ye subconsciously flashed to Zhao Deyan's body and whispered.

"It's me~!"

The figure stood in front of Xuan Ye, and Xuan Ye and Zhao Deyan saw clearly the other person's face. It was Tianying!

"Qi Bi Guard, a group of people came from the east and were rushing towards the inn! It's very close to us, so we must speed up!"

Seeing that the person coming was Tianying, Xuan Ye breathed a sigh of relief, then he staggered his body and "give" Zhao Deyan out. Tianying clasped his fists to Zhao Deyan and said anxiously.
