While Lu Yuan was chatting with Shopkeeper Dong from Fenghuai Grain Store, both of them suddenly stopped talking and looked around with wary expressions.
Shopkeeper Dong asked, "Mr. Lu, why does the little old man feel like something is not right?"
Lu Yuan's expression also became solemn, he nodded slightly and agreed:
"It's really not right. It's a bit too quiet."
The uneasy feeling in Lu Yuan's heart became stronger and stronger with the silence around him. It was obvious that there were insects chirping just now.
You must know that although this place has been repaired, as a dock that has been abandoned for many years, it has been surrounded by tall reeds for a long time.
Over the years, there are countless creatures hidden in these reeds. All kinds of sounds come one after another at night, and it is absolutely impossible for it to be so quiet.
There is only one thing that can cause this situation, and that is that there are many people surrounding them from the inside out, which alarms the creatures in the reeds, and then they all shut up!
"Master Lu..."
Shopkeeper Dong looked worried and was about to say something, but Lu Yuan immediately raised his hand to signal him to be quiet. Then Lu Yuan suddenly stood up and waved his hand.
A group of people suddenly climbed up from the river full of reeds, each holding a weapon. One group cautiously explored the surroundings, while the other group quickly came to Lu Yuan's side. The leader whispered:
"Sir, let's go. We have a small boat hidden nearby. We will go straight down the river. If they don't have a boat, they can't stop us."
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, turned to look at Shopkeeper Dong who looked shocked and said:
"Shop Manager Dong, let's go together."
Shopkeeper Dong finally came to his senses, nodded and stood up, and exclaimed at the same time:
"Master Lu is really cautious. He actually made arrangements in advance!"
Lu Yuan smiled: "Those who do business like ours must always leave a way out for themselves and the people. After all, they are taking risks. How can they last long without insurance?"
Shopkeeper Dong immediately nodded his head: "That's right! That's right! That's what Mr. Lu said. This time, I was negligent!"
"Okay, Shopkeeper Dong, we don't have much time, let's go!"
Lu Yuan shook his head and did not continue chatting. This environment was not the time for chatting.
Just as the two of them walked quickly towards the reeds next to them, Lu Yuan's men who had just explored the reeds outside only heard bursts of swishing sounds, and the kada sound of mechanical exertion!
The next moment, several crossbow arrows flew out from the reeds, and in the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan's group of men were transformed into hedgehogs!
Lu Yuan and his party listened to the noise coming from behind. There were constant sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground, and they knew that the other party was starting to take action!
The urgency in their hearts reached its peak, and the group of people started to jog, quickly disappearing into the reeds and disappearing without a trace.
However, after a quick run, just when Lu Yuan and his party saw the boat parked on a natural river bank, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded!
The next moment, countless spies suddenly jumped out of the quiet grass around them!
In just the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan and his party were completely surrounded!
Seeing this situation, shopkeeper Dong was frightened, thinking that he would definitely die here!
However, Lu Yuan's face always remained calm at the beginning. At this moment, the guard who was leading them forward turned and stared at Lu Yuan:
"Young Master, let's stop them. You go quickly. You can rest assured that once there is a risk of being caught, the brothers will take care of themselves and will never cause trouble for you, Young Master!"
Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "You can rest assured that as long as I return safely, your family will be able to live without worries for the rest of their lives!"
Lu Yuan gave his promise.
The eyes of several guards showed joy!
"Master, leave quickly, or it will be too late!"
The leading guard with a smile on his face drew out the long knife from his waist with a clang, and the other four guards around him also made the same move. The five of them formed a defensive formation to block behind Lu Yuan and the two.
At this moment, the spies launched an attack. Because they wanted to capture him alive, the spies did not use crossbows.
Instead, he rushed forward with a knife!
On the first day of the fight, Lu Yuan, the head guard, knew that something was wrong!
Because his sword only had a hard collision with the opponent, and a huge gap appeared!
But the opponent's knife is still intact!
Before the guard leader could think more, the opponent's continuous offensive had already arrived!
Sonorous! Sonorous! Sonorous!
The sound of gold and iron clashing continued to sound, and Lu Yuan's guard leader could only watch helplessly as the long knife in his hand gradually disintegrated under the collision again and again!
Finally, after another collision, a click was heard!
The long knife in the guard leader's hand actually shattered into pieces.
And at this moment, the opponent's knife attack followed closely!
"Young master should have escaped, right?"
This was the last thought that came to the head of the guard, and the next moment he heard a pop!
Blood spurts!
The knife in the spy's hand had already stabbed into his heart!
The moment his heart was penetrated and pulled out, the guard leader completely lost all consciousness!
After dealing with him, the spies immediately chased Lu Yuan and others non-stop.
At this time, Lu Yuan and his two men had already arrived at the side of the boat, and their faces showed joy as they looked at the boat that was so close at hand!
However, at the next moment, a trumpet was suddenly heard!
“Let’s lower the net and catch fish!”
The next moment, a big net fell from the sky!
In the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan and the two who were about to jump into the boat were caught in the net. At this time, two groups of people walked out of the reeds on both sides, one person pulling one end of the fishing net, and they continued to tighten it. , Lu Yuan was suddenly wrapped tightly in the net and turned into a pile, no different from the pig that was going to be killed during the Chinese New Year!
"These two guys can really run away. Fortunately, we have already made arrangements to block all their escape routes. Otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to catch them."
"Aren't you talking nonsense?
If they didn't have two brushes, would they dare to resell disaster relief food? "
"Bah! These beasts! They even resell disaster relief food. How inhumane! If the higher-ups didn't want to survive, I really wish I could give him a knife right now!"
Okay, okay, people like this will definitely end up badly. It’s not like you don’t know His Majesty’s character. If they weren’t still useful, how would Your Majesty keep them alive?
Let's work quickly. It's almost dawn. I don't know how the other groups are doing. Don't let us be the last ones and go back to be trained. "
"Impossible! We can't be the last, work quickly!"
"Work, work!"
During the conversation, Lu Yuan, who was caught in the net, only felt a pain in the back of his head. The next moment, he immediately lost consciousness. The moment before losing consciousness, Lu Yuan only had one thought left.
"It's really over now. The emperor's men actually ambushed me. I'm afraid the old man won't be able to hold on!"
…
The sky is slightly cooler.
As soon as Zhao Jun got dressed under the service of the maids of Kunning Palace, Wang Huai'en came to report hurriedly: "Your Majesty, all actions have been completed successfully!
Everyone in the three groups was captured. Now General Li Dingguo and Li have led people to capture the rats in the disaster relief warehouse. It will not take long to capture them all, and no one can escape! "
Zhao Jun smiled after hearing this and said immediately: "Okay, let Li Dingguo speed up and make sure not to miss anyone.
Let's go to court. I can't wait to see what the expressions of those impenitent guys will be like when they find out they've been discovered. I believe it will be exciting! "
Zhao Jun had a meaningful smile on his face.
Wang Huaien responded respectfully and immediately went to make arrangements.
