The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 774
In the middle of the night, in a dilapidated house south of the capital, the black guard Cao Xuan, who was originally a distant relative of the Cao family, joined the black guard very early and became a loyal retainer of the Cao family.However, with the fall of Tianwei, Cao Ziyan set himself on fire and died. The people in the black clothes guards panicked. Suddenly, the trees fell and the monkeys scattered.

As Cao Ziyan's confidant, he was assigned to Huayuan City very early to investigate and infiltrate Tianhua.After years of hard work, he finally instigated a high-ranking official of Tianhua, and sent Tianhua's secrets back to China from time to time.

Just last year, he got the news of Emperor Tianhua's return from the Eastern Expedition from this senior official. As if he had found a treasure, he immediately sent this news back to his country.If Emperor Tianhua can be attacked and killed at sea, the general situation of the world will be reversed.However, what he never expected was that Emperor Tianhua not only survived, but took advantage of the situation to destroy the Cao and Gu families in one fell swoop.When he heard the news, he was stunned.

With the collapse of the Cao family, the black guards all over the country suddenly collapsed, and he never got any news.He didn't dare to contact even the black-clothed guards in the capital, so he could only lie quietly and wait for the opportunity.

Because he had found out that the black-clothed guard who was in charge of contacting those high-ranking officials had been secretly killed by him.But the senior official never thought that those who contacted him were nothing more than young people, and he, the main messenger behind the scenes, had no contact with him at all, and he didn't even know that such a person existed.

Now he didn't dare to go out casually, and hid in this house all day long, for fear of being discovered by the blood and shadow guards.Until Emperor Tianhua returned to Beijing, and brought back Empress Tianwei and the crown prince to settle in Beijing.He couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately ventured out to investigate the whereabouts of the queen and the prince, preparing to secretly take them out of Huayuan City and return to Weizhou to regroup.

However, he didn't know that it was his actions that immediately aroused the awareness of the two blood shadow guards, and now hundreds of two guards have gathered outside his residence.

Just as Cao Xuan was drawing and supplementing the topographical map near the Queen's residence in the past few days.Suddenly, I realized something was wrong. In the past, there were night cats and wild dogs barking everywhere outside the door.But tonight, he found that there was no sound around him, so quiet that it made people panic.

Cao Xuan immediately put away the topographic map, picked up a long knife under the bed, slowly approached the window sill, and looked out of the yard under the moonlight.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he finally found that there were several blurred figures swaying on the courtyard wall, and then they were immersed in the darkness.However, he was quite sure that he had been discovered.

A cold sweat ran down his forehead and across his cheeks, he tightened the handle of the knife, and his mind turned.what to do?He could tell that there must be a large number of enemies ambushing outside the house.Once he rushes out by himself, he will be surrounded by heavy siege.But if you continue to stay in the house, you are waiting to die.

Cao Xuan glanced at the oil lamp on the table, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.Then take the cooking oil, pour it around the house, then pick up the oil lamps and light them one by one.

But after a while, the flames were everywhere and burned blazingly.Cao Xuan pulled off a quilt, stuffed it into a water tank to soak it, then put it on his body, hid in a corner that had not been affected by the fire, and waited for something to happen.

The fire in the house ignited, which soon attracted the attention of the two blood and shadow guards outside, and immediately reported to the two commanders.

Yuan Jin's face darkened, "Hmph, deliberately set fire to the house, it seems that Cao Xuan is planning to take advantage of the chaos to escape."

Huang Wu'an said lightly: "Your Majesty means to catch him alive, but you can't let him burn to death inside."

"Hey, it's not easy." Yuan Jin sneered, "Brother Huang led people to rush in to put out the fire, and younger brother led people to continue to ambush outside. When he escapes in the chaos, he can be caught in one go."

Huang Wu'an gave him a deep look, "He can't escape."

As he spoke, he led the blood guards and rushed towards the courtyard.

At this time, the fire was overflowing, and the surrounding houses had already been alarmed, and the people were carrying buckets, ready to fight the fire.However, he was stopped by members of the shadow guard outside, "The shadow guard is doing business, everyone is not allowed to approach!"

When the common people heard this, they were startled. Looking at the menacing faces in front of them, they couldn't help but quickly retreated to the side.

At this time, the blood guard had already entered the courtyard, wet his cloak by the well, wrapped it around his body, and rushed into the house.

Suddenly there was a flash of cold light, and a knife in the room rushed towards the blood guard's chest like lightning.

The blood guard was shocked, and hurried to block. Although he protected his chest, a cut was made in his shoulder, and he couldn't help but staggered backwards.

The next two blood guards rushed towards Cao Xuan inside the house, trying to subdue him.But Cao Xuan's saber skills are so good, there is no room for them to get close, and he forced the two of them to retreat in one fell swoop.

Then, with a flash of his figure, he rushed towards the direction where the fire was raging, shattered the window in one fell swoop, and rolled to the ground.At this time, the blood guards mainly surrounded the front and rear doors, but unexpectedly, the other party rushed out from the window sill.After being stunned for a moment, he immediately came to kill him.

Cao Xuan didn't dare to fight, and immediately rushed towards the courtyard wall.

"Hush!" Suddenly, the sound of several crossbows sounded, and Cao Xuan rolled quickly, barely avoiding the attack of several crossbows.But the speed was slowed down quite a bit, and several blood guards rushed forward immediately to fight with him.

Cao Xuan was in a hurry to escape. After forcing the other party back, he immediately ran to the next courtyard wall. He remembered that it was connected to other houses and densely covered with alleys, which was a good place to escape.

After avoiding several waves of crossbow arrows, Cao Xuan was about to turn up the courtyard wall, when suddenly a saber slashed from top to bottom.He couldn't dodge at this time, so he had to raise it to a hard block.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, Cao Xuan half-kneeled on the ground with a ferocious face, his hands firmly supporting the back of the knife.

Huang Wu'an held down the opponent with a knife with a calm face, then raised his foot, and kicked him hard.

Cao Xuan immediately flew upside down, his mouth covered in blood.Before he could struggle, several blades were already on his neck.

"Tie him up." Huang Wu'an said coldly, sheathing the knife.

At this time, there was a chorus of people outside the courtyard, and countless city guards surrounded the place.If it wasn't for the shadow guards blocking him, he would have charged in already.

At this time, the person standing in front of Yuan Jin was a regimental commander of the city guards, who was negotiating with him, asking to enter to put out the fire.

But Yuan Jin was unmoved, and ordered all the city guards to be stopped, and no one was allowed to enter it.

Just when the head of the regiment was annoyed, Huang Wu'an had led people to escort Cao Xuan out of the house.He looked at the city guards all over the street, and said with a smile: "The criminals have been captured, and if your army wants to put out the fire, then go."

The head of the regiment stared at Cao Xuan, and said in a deep voice: "General Huang, I don't know what crime this person has committed, and he has to work you out?"

Yuan Jin smiled coldly, "Hmph, if you're not in your position, you don't plan for your own affairs. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

The head of the regiment immediately lowered his head and cupped his hands, and said with a smile: "General Yuan said that I was reckless, so I will take people to put out the fire."
