Invincible son

Chapter 343 342 [Screaming Night]

The ugly time is approaching, and the moon and stars are scarce.

Fifteen men in black appeared in the alley east of the imperial envoy's office.

They carried weapons in their hands and bundles tied behind their backs, which contained black oil used to ignite the fire.

The leader is Nian Xu, the confidant of King Lu, who is in charge of a part of the power in the world for the prince who is deeply loved by Emperor Kaiping.These people may not be as good as an ordinary soldier of the Tibetan front guard on the battlefield, but they are very good at stealing, especially when the moon is dark and the wind is high, it is some of them who are good at it.

A group of people tiptoed and approached the southeast side of the Yamen slowly. There is a corner door here, which is convenient for servants to enter and exit.

The sound of their footsteps was extremely soft, even in the very silent night at this moment, they could hardly hear any movement.

Nian Xu came to the shadow in the corner outside the door, turned his head and gestured to a companion behind him.

Several lifelike meows came from the man's mouth.

Not long after, the corner door opened slowly. Even though the person who opened the door moved very lightly, there was still a "squeak" sound, which was very ear-piercing in the middle of the night.The man was so anxious that his head was sweating, he opened a gap of about two feet and dared not move any more, he came out cautiously sideways, and soon saw Nian Xu and others on the left.

"Come in." The visitor said impatiently in a low voice.

Nian Xu shook his head slightly, pulled him to his side, leaned over and asked, "What's going on inside today?"

The man was obviously very nervous and frightened, and said in a trembling voice, "It's nothing."

Nian Xu's voice became more and more gentle: "Don't be afraid, think carefully. After we finish this matter, the prince will definitely not treat you badly."

That man was just a small official in the Charcoal Temple. He was keen on eating, drinking and having fun when he was in Kyoto, and his family couldn't save money at all.Nian Xu met him in a gambling house, and they became very familiar with each other, and now he promised him a future in the name of King Lu, and it was natural to develop him into an internal response.

The little official swallowed his saliva, and said slowly: "After the lord came back with his people, we were discussing matters with several military lords in the main hall. Naturally, we couldn't go in, and we couldn't hear what they were talking about. But today, everything in the yamen is as usual, so it's okay. Nothing out of the ordinary."

Nian Xu nodded in satisfaction, put his hand on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "That's good. When I return to the capital, I will report your achievements to the prince."

The man's face was full of joy, and he was about to open his mouth to thank him, when suddenly a big hand was placed on his mouth.

Nian Xu stretched out his right fist, and instantly hit his hard knuckles on his Adam's apple.

The man didn't even make any sound, and after a few tremblings, he collapsed to the ground.

Nian Xu signaled his subordinates to drag it to the corner by the wall, and then got into the gap of the corner door first.

Over the past month or so, he has already figured out the internal terrain of the imperial envoy's office, and he has traced and deduced it countless times in the inn. Although the night is dark at the moment, he quickly determined the direction with the help of the bright moonlight.

The Xingya is divided into the front yard, the atrium, the back house and the suites on the east and west sides. The front yard is where the two imperial envoys receive visitors, the back house is the residence, and the suites on the east and west sides are stationed by the soldiers of the Tibetan front guard.

This mansion has a deep courtyard. It was originally the residence of a family of officials in Xingyang City. Later, because of a crime, it was taken into the government office by the Governor's Mansion.The area of ​​the house is very vast, not much worse than the nine state residences in Kyoto.Although Nian Xu broke in for the first time, and it was late at night, he walked very fast, as if he had walked through the office many times.

The reason is that he has lived in Lu Wangfu for more than ten years, and he is very familiar with the architectural pattern of this kind of noble family. Coupled with the topographical map that should be provided, there is no obstacle.

Fifteen men in black crossed the atrium through the lanes, and then quickly rushed to the back house.

At the same time, following Nianxu's order in a low voice, they took off the bundles behind their backs, and took out the black oil and fire pockets that ignited the fire.

The back house is divided into two sets of courtyards on the left and right, each occupied by the two imperial envoys.

Nian Xu stretched out his finger to the courtyard on the right, and the subordinates behind him understood, touched near the courtyard wall, put their ears on the wall, and turned back after a while to indicate that there was no movement inside.

Nian Xu looked up at the courtyard wall that was more than ten feet high, and gestured to everyone.

Even if there were two people standing under the wall, they stretched out their hands and staggered to build a bridge.

Nian Xu rushed over in three or two steps, raised his foot to step on the hands of the two, and then jumped up with all his strength, using the strength given by his companion to easily jump up the wall.In the bright moonlight, the situation of the back house was clearly visible before his eyes. Only a few houses were still lit by candlelight, and the rest were hidden in darkness.

After Nian Xu signaled that it was safe, everyone climbed up the wall one after another, and then carefully slid down the wall.

Even though he is cautious by nature, Nian Xu couldn't help smiling contemptuously at this moment.This imperial envoy's office looks like a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair on the outside, but the defenses on the inside are so lax, I can only blame myself for being too careful before.If he knew this was the case earlier, why would he wait until today?

As Nian Xu moved forward, he felt a little strange.

Seeing that the Pei family's actions are quite methodical, and they are also very capable in training the army, it is unlikely that there is not even a secret sentry in this huge office, right?
He thought about it again, these Beijing troops have been fighting and fighting for days, and today they stood outside the government office for a long time, they should be extremely exhausted, no wonder they are so relaxed.

In fact, Nian Xu had long been prepared to be discovered by the secret sentry and then be killed. Now that the progress is so smooth, he is a little dazed.

A person next to him reached out to touch his arm, and Nian Xu immediately pulled away from the trance, and after calming down, he turned his head and said in a low voice: "Wang He Li Cong, you two go to the left, Qi Zhang Gu Liufei, you two Go to the right, and the rest of the people follow me. Everyone set fire together, and then rush inside while taking advantage of the chaos, then the Pei family—”

His voice came to an abrupt end.

His men looked at him suspiciously.

Nian Xu swallowed his saliva involuntarily, with deep fear in his eyes.

A few trees with luxuriant foliage were planted in the corner of the courtyard wall. At this moment, more than a dozen figures appeared from behind the trees. Nian Xu couldn't see their faces hidden in the shadows clearly, but he could see the crossbows in their hands and the faint shadows above the tops of the crossbow arrows. Blu-ray.

"Get out of the way!"

Nian Xu's roar woke up the sleeping night.

In a mansion across the long street to the south of Xingya, there were hundreds of people in the courtyard of the back mansion. They sat cross-legged on the ground silently, with weapons across their laps.

Standing in front of the crowd, Wang Liyang said to a middle-aged man: "Uncle Seven, if you leave Xingyang with your family tonight, the West Gate will open at the first quarter of Mao."

The middle-aged man looked at his young face, smiled gratifiedly, then shook his head and said, "Just let the women and children go, how long can I live with this old bone? I might as well fight with you tonight."

Wang Liyang wanted to persuade him again, but suddenly he heard a roar piercing the night outside.

The two suddenly changed color.
