Just after midnight, Wu Xiang mobilized most of the brothers from Jihua Pavilion and rushed towards the city gate.
According to reports from brothers who were ambushing there earlier, the group of people from Lingfu Building will sneak into the capital from there tonight.
However, for the sake of safety, Wu Xiang arranged for people to guard the remaining three city gates. Once the opponent tried to cheat, they would be able to see the location of the cloud-piercing arrow and rush over to help quickly.
The soldiers guarding the city looked at the thin snow on the ground and drank a bowl of hot soup in their hands. They had no choice but to go out to relieve the cold in such a cold day.
But Wu Xiang and the others were different. They were all wearing black night clothes. The new clothes had just been made and distributed in the past few days. Not to mention how warm they were.
If their master can think of them like this, what else can they have to complain about? They are all people who have been drifting in the rivers and lakes. After drifting for so many years, they can finally find a place to stay.
Today there were no soldiers guarding the city tower, so Wu Xiang led his men to guard it. Standing high here, you can see far, and it is indeed a good place to observe the enemy!
After waiting for about half an hour, I heard the sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance. But the sound quickly disappeared, and it didn't come again after a long time.
But the brothers in Jihua Pavilion heard the sound of horse hooves clearly. Knowing that it was the people from Lingfu Tower who were coming, they all became even more alert and alert.
Sure enough, I soon heard the sound of footsteps coming from under the tower. Because there was a thin layer of snow on the ground, no matter how light their footsteps were, you could still hear the "rustling" sound if you listened carefully.
It was this weak voice that completely exposed their whereabouts. The corners of Wu Xiang's lips raised slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile, his face full of coldness.
He raised his hand to the brothers behind him and made a "hands on" gesture.
The next moment, the brothers from Jihua Pavilion were seen jumping down from the tower. The swords in their hands stopped, and in the blink of an eye, several people were killed.
Outside the city gate, screams were heard everywhere. Inside the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city heard the sound. For the safety of the people in the capital, they did not dare to open the city gate rashly. They wanted to wait until daybreak before taking a look outside.
Condition.
There were a lot of people coming to Lingfu Building today, but Wu Xiang didn't see their leader. Needless to say, he knew that he either hid in disguise or didn't come at all.
But it doesn't matter. They will kill as many people as they come from Lingfu Tower. These people should warm them up first, and then they can counterattack later, go to their hiding place, and have a good fight with them!
About a hundred or ten people came to Lengfu Tower, but they didn't even have room to fight back. They had their necks wiped and met the King of Hell.
The ground was red with blood, and corpses were scattered all over the ground, occupying a large area. Wu Xiang raised his hand and pointed to the woods next to him, and Chen Sheng ordered: "Clean it up."
Without hesitation, the brothers immediately dragged the body on the ground and walked into the woods.
There were shovels that they had hidden there in advance, and they dug several large holes in them and buried the bodies. When the heavy snow fell tonight, the blood on the ground would also be covered.
When the snow melts, the blood on the ground will mix with it and seep into the ground. By then, the ground will be completely wiped out. Who else knows that there was a fight here?!
Fortunately, there were so many of them that even if they had to dig a pit large enough to accommodate hundreds of corpses, it only took less than an hour.
He quickly threw the corpses in, filled them with soil, and compacted them. Soon, the place became what it was before.
Looking at the official road outside, there is not a single person in sight. If they want convenience and speed, they can go directly through the pipeline.
But among the corpses just now, there was no leader of Lingfu Tower. It is obvious that he was afraid that if his plan failed, all his men would be wiped out.
Of course, Wu Xiang could not expose all the brothers in Ji Hua Pavilion to them. Compared with the convenience and speed of official roads, he felt that it was most suitable to use the cover of the woods!
Because he already knew their hiding place, Wu Xiang led his brothers and walked straight towards that place in the night...
