C41 Night Scouting

Chapter 41 — Night Scouts

Dongfang Zhongyue pulled Yu Fangzhou back. The latter was puzzled and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?" There's someone inside. " Fang pointed to the eaves a few steps away. The eaves of the house were slightly brighter on one side than on the other. It was obvious that there was light shining on the side of the house. Yu Fangzhou gave a thumbs up, "Awesome! Flag length observed very carefully.

The two of them stood guard for a long time. There was no sound from inside, but the lights were still there. Yu Fangzhou couldn't help but say, "Flag length, let me touch the wall and take a look..." Before he could finish his sentence, a creaking sound suddenly came from within the courtyard, followed by the sound of a door closing, and footsteps.

"How is it? The one surnamed Huang is still not willing? " a man in the wall asked, his voice barely more than a dozen paces away. "He waited for a moment, but there was no answer. He must have been asked by a hand signal.

After a while, he said, "Why do you need him to agree? "Aren't you the commander as well?" Hi... Can it be the same? " Another man finally opened his mouth, "My dear uncle, this is an imprint of the deputy commander who did not mobilize the army. "What do you want to know all day long?"

"Hehe …" I also want to know the result for such a big matter! " "Their voices grew softer and softer." "Don't spout nonsense. It would be weird if the old master would hear your words!" I'm just asking you! He didn't tell anyone else. Furthermore, the old master isn't at home … "

After the two had left, Song Yingjie asked in surprise, "From what those two people said, Yang Ren had captured the commander of the local security post?" That seems to be the case. " Dongfang Zhongyue said: "Let's go in, we're afraid we'll be run into if we wait any longer." Ye Zichen dragged Yu Fangzhouyuan away a bit before touching the high wall.

Inside the wall was a garden. On the north corner of the garden, there was a small courtyard. In the hazy night, there were two soldiers walking back and forth.

Yu Fangzhou asked in a low voice, "Should we save him?" "We can't save him!" Dongfang Zhongyue said: "Our task is to catch Yang Ren, we can't alert the snake with the grass." Alright, "Yu Fangzhou said," Let's take a look at the layout of the houses and the personnel arrangement...

From the north to the south, there were sixty steps, and fifty steps. There were three houses in total, and the third house was dark.

The two of them walked to the east side of the corridor. In front of them was another courtyard; there were fake mountains, trees, and a faint fragrance of flowers. There was a low wall in front of the courtyard, and not far from it was a row of tall houses. The first room on the east side and the second window on the west side were both lit.

The two of them used the flower tree to hide their bodies and arrived outside the moon gate. Dongfang Zhongyue indicated for them to look at the west side of the room and let Yu Fangzhou look at the east side.

When Yu Fangzhou was about to leave, he suddenly saw two green lights about three feet away from the flower bush. Both of them jumped in fright, knowing that it was a big dog; strangely, the dog didn't just look at them in silence.

Yu Fangzhou slowly pulled out his sabre, and Dongfang Zhongyu quickly pulled him back, "You can't use a sabre!" After he reminded Yu Fangzhou, he immediately understood. "What can I do if I can't use a knife?" Before he could finish his sentence, the two small lamps suddenly moved, and a dark figure pounced towards the east.

It was only ten steps away from him in the blink of an eye. Zhong Chuan dodged to the side and grabbed the dog's throat with his right hand. He crushed the throat with his fingers. The dog was unharmed. Tomorrow, anyone who saw it would think that it had eaten something poisonous and died.

The two of them went to their respective rooms, and Dongfang Zhongyue went to the window to listen. There were two men talking inside. One of them asked, "Second Brother, do you have plenty of money?"

The other person laughed, "You only spent the silver in the month and you already spent it?" Hehe, bro, I'm not one recently … There's something wrong! "

"What the f * ck!" Second brother laughed and scolded, "You are such a fool! You dare to believe the words of a girl in a brothel? "They are trying to get you some money." "Second brother, peony is different." That person hurriedly explained, "She only sang songs for others and only left me to spend the night …"

"Hurry and pull him to you!" The Second Brother laughed and said, "That's what they usually do. That's what she told every man." "Not second brother, I can feel that she's sincere …"

"Bullshit, you big idiot! This mouth of hers is the one that cannot be trusted the most. Let me ask you, how do you feel when you sleep with her? " The man asked curiously, "Second brother, what do you feel? Are you asking... It's pretty slippery! His body also slipped …

"Sliding?" Second brother laughed, "I'm asking if she's tight? "It's too tight, which means she doesn't have many people remaining …"

Dongfang Zhongyu was still a virgin, but he didn't understand it even though it was so explicit! As he was about to leave, he suddenly heard that person say, "Second brother, I don't know what's important, but it doesn't matter …

Dongfang Zhongyu and Yu Fangzhou didn't hear anything useful, so they went around to the front yard. Two wind lamps were lit at the front door, a few soldiers sat on the porch and chatted in a loud and stingy voice. There was a row of stables against the west wall. Nine horses were tied inside, and there seemed to be twenty left in the empty space. The doors of the lobby were open, but there was no sound.

Yu Fangzhou wanted to enter the hall to take a look, but Zhong Yue said, "There's no one inside, otherwise the soldiers wouldn't dare to speak loudly." Yu Fangzhou nodded and said, "Flag length is still the smartest." The two of them returned to the inn. That night, the four of them took turns to keep watch on the manor from night to night, but they didn't see anyone enter or leave …

The next day, everyone gathered in a restaurant. When they were all familiar with the map of the Residence of Great Guardian, Dongfang Zhongzhong said, "There are about ten people in the residence. The number of trusted aides that follow Yang Ren is only around 20. As long as Yang Ren returns to the mansion, we will immediately take action.

Wang Hongjian, Tian Canguang, Song Yingjie and I will enter through the main entrance, Mo Sang Valley and Zhang Shanshan will enter through the east wall, Yu FangZhou, Liu Qian and Liang Shikang will enter from the north wall to rescue the envoy Huang, Cui Wanting and Chen Boyan will enter the house through the west wall, and we must not let Yang Ren escape. "

Everyone agreed to go back and rest. They waited until the end of the day when they heard the sound of hoofbeats coming from the street. Then, a team of horses arrived at the entrance of the Grand Guardian's Estate.

Most of the men in the team wore blue tunics with narrow collars, red straps around their waists, and a single saber slung over their ribs. One of the other two people wore a purple silk robe, while the other one wore a light yellow flowery robe. Everyone had never seen Yang Ren before, so they didn't know if that was true.

After a moment, Yu Fangzhou pushed open the door and entered. Wang Hongjian asked anxiously, "Is it Yang Ren?" "Yes!" Yu Fangzhou said, "I've asked around, the one wearing a flowery yellow robe is Yang Ren." "Great," Dongfang Zhong Guo said, "Immediately take action …!" Before he could finish his sentence, the sound of horses galloping came from the street. From the sound of it, there were at least twenty to thirty horses.

"What's going on?" Tian Zaiguang rushed to the window and saw a group of soldiers arriving in front of the manor. There were at least three thousand of them and four to five hundred of them. The army of the Ming Dynasty had always been promoted through military exploits. Those who could become a hundred households were people who had experienced hundreds of battles and achieved great feats, not to mention the thousand households.

The combat strength of these people could be said to be valiant. Although everyone had strong martial arts skills, the outcome of facing off against an opponent several times stronger was hard to predict! Everyone in the room fell silent for a moment.

Tian Zaiguang asked softly, "Flag length, what should we do?" Mo Shenggu said, "They add up to around fifty to sixty people …" "Shh …" Yu Fangzhou reminded him, "Lower your voice. Are you afraid others won't be able to hear you?"

"Oh," Mo Shenggu lowered his voice, "We are the Embroidered Uniform Guard, how can a mere fifty people stop us?" Wang Hongjian retorted, "Why are you still acting like a little kid? Was there a need to fight him head on? "Wait a minute, what if the soldiers leave?" "How many years older are you than me?" Mo Shenggu raised his eyebrows and said hoarsely, "You dare to say I'm a little kid?"

"Do you know it yourself?" Dongfang Zhongyu quickly stopped Wang Hongjian, "Stop! Is this the time to quarrel? Nonsense … "Brother Yu, tell us."

Yu Fangzhou adjusted his yellow beard and said unhurriedly, "It's not impossible to wait, it's just that …" I wonder why have these people come to the Grand Guard Palace? "

Dongfang Zhongyue thought about it and said: "Yang Ren went out for at least two days, and when he came back, so many military officers immediately came. I guess they have something big to discuss, so we have to go and inquire."

Everyone knew that entering the Residence of Great Guardian was not a joke, and if things went wrong, they might not be able to get out. They all lowered their heads. Dongfang Zhongyue said, "I'll go!"

"I will go with Flag length …" I'll go too! " "Almost at the same time, Yu Fangzhou and Song Yingjie answered. Good, "Dong Fang Zhong Yue nodded his head," The rest of you stay outside the mansion and prepare, if there are any problems, you can rush in to assist them …! "

In the middle of the night, when the sky was still dark, Zhong Yue arrived at the east wall of the second courtyard. He saw that no one was near him, so he put his hand on the wall and jumped up; there was a big tree inside the wall, and he was not afraid of being seen.

Just as Dongfang Zhongyu was about to signal for Song Yingjie and his partner to come up, he suddenly saw two Wu steelers and three sergeants escorting a man with his hands tied in civilian clothes into the front yard through the west aisle.

"What's going on?" Yu Fangzhou asked as soon as he got on the wall. "We have to find a way to get into the lobby." We can't enter! " Song Yingjie exclaimed in shock, "There should be around forty to fifty people in the front courtyard …!"

"There's a way," Yu Fangzhou pointed at the second overhang on the side of the hall and said, "The square frame in the middle is for repair by carpenters, so we can take it down." "Awesome." After seeing that no one had slipped into the courtyard, Dongfang Zhongyue moved to the wall and jumped up to the first layer of the roof.

Yu Fangzhou and Song Yingjie were surprised. The first floor of the hall was at least 20 feet high, so a simple leap was not an exaggeration.

Dongfang Zhongyue jumped up to the second overhang and came to the square wooden frame. He saw that there was a wedges in the middle of each side. He easily pulled out the wedges and took off the wooden frame. At that time, the buildings were made up of pillars with a bucket arch, and the beams above the bucket arch intersected with the rafters.

Many wind lamps and candles were lit in the lobby, you could clearly see seven or eight military officers standing in the hall. In the center of the hall was the tied up commander Huang; sitting on the north side were two people, one was Yang Ren, who was wearing a light yellow flowery robe, and the other was an officer wearing a commander's uniform.

Dongfang Zhongyue, who was standing under the rafters, listened attentively. When he saw Yang Ren, he asked, "Brother Zongyi, are you still not going to agree?" Huang Zongyi asked, "Why are the people living in peace today? Why are they rebelling?"

"Nonsense!" The military officer sitting down said, "Big brother Huang, you and I have worked together as brothers for so many years. We are officials of the Da Ming, so naturally we have to be loyal to the Da Ming …"

"You're still saying I'm confused?" Huang Zongyi sneered, "Brother Fu Song, isn't this the Ming dynasty?" Zhu Di usurped power to seize the throne, "Fu Song was very angry," He is a murderous person, not only is he his own flesh and blood, how many loyal subjects and pillars did he kill? You are willing to help such a brutal person? "

Huang Zongyi suddenly sighed and said lightly: "Right now, the four seas are level, the people are rich and prosperous. After fighting for so many years, it can be considered as a peaceful day, who will mess around with you? "I, Huang, am not alone. I don't want my relatives or friends to be beheaded because of me …!"

"Preposterous!" Yang Ren interrupted him loudly. "What do you think this is?"
