"Uncle Wen, your plan has indeed come true!"
After hearing the secret report from his subordinates, Wu Ling ran back to the house excitedly: "There is already chaos over there at Cheng'enfang. Tian Mu from the Nilin Division led thousands of forbidden troops to surround the Prince Consort's Mansion, and Princess Li Xi of Fenyang called in a large number of people. Courtiers, the two sides are currently confronting each other, and a conflict is about to break out!"
Wen Xiao stretched out his hand to light the fire, and said with a sinister smile: "Huh, fight with me? They are still young! Now, let that boy Shen Lie worry. How is the situation in Wannian County Prison? "
Wu Ling replied: "Everything is as usual. Ouyang Lin entered the palace once this afternoon, and now he is back in prison."
Wen Xiao stared at the flames that were constantly moving in front of him, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Without further delay, let's do it tonight!"
Wu Ling nodded and said in a firm tone: "I think so too. Taking advantage of the chaos at the Prince Consort's Mansion, Shen Lie and Ni Linsi had no time to care, so they could concentrate on dealing with Ouyang Lin."
Wen Xiao stood up and ordered: "According to my previous strategy, the action must be sudden and violent, and there must be no mercy in the attack. The opponent must be blinded as soon as he comes up, without giving them a chance to warn for help."
"Yes, I understand," Wu Ling responded: "Fight quickly and retreat quickly. As soon as we grab Mrs. Shangrui, we will immediately leave the imperial capital through the secret passage on the east city wall."
Under the gloomy night, dozens of black figures kept leaping and sneaking on the ridges and eaves, gradually approaching the Wannian County Prison. These people were very skilled. They walked all the way without even making a sound, and successfully avoided the tiger and leopard mounted sentries hiding near the street entrance.
However, they escaped the eyes of Hubaoqi, but they could not escape the sharp eyes behind the second-floor window of the shop across the street.
The owner of those clear eyes was none other than Shen Lie.
"Lord Chang Shi, you are really good at predicting things. The idea really came to you." Yuan Bin lowered his voice and said with a smile.
At this time, they still didn't know what was happening at the Prince Consort's Mansion in Chengenfang. But when Shen Lie heard that four more assassinations had occurred in the imperial capital today, he immediately made a judgment: Wen Xiao was angered by the red letters on the wall and couldn't help but strike cruelly, and it was very likely that the assassination would begin tonight. Actions in Wannian County Prison.
Because of this, before evening, Shen Lie led the people from the Intelligence Department to sneak out of the Prince Consort's Mansion through a secret passage and sneaked into the prison to set up a net. Unexpectedly, his judgment not only really caught up with Wen Xiao, but also happened to escape the encirclement of the Nilin Division and the Forbidden Army.
The reason why Princess Li Xi of Fenyang went to war and called all the important officials of the royal family to help in the middle of the night was precisely to make the situation in Chengenfang bigger, so as to divert the attention of the court as much as possible, so as to secretly help Shen Lie and others.
At present, many forces of the Forbidden Army's Hubaoqi and Beiya Nilinsi were attracted to the Prince Consort's Mansion, and the Wannian County Prison suddenly attracted the masters of the rebel Huben Camp.
This is exactly what Shen Lie meant.
"Yuan Bin, please send a signal to Shi Feng so that they can be ready to launch a surprise attack at any time. Remember, Wen Xiao is mine."
Yuan Bin agreed with a smile, then opened the window slit and imitated the voice of the night owl, cooing a few times.
The next moment, there was a response from the sound of night owls on the roof next to it, which meant that the spies of the Intelligence Department had received the order and were ready at any time.
Shen Lie looked outside calmly, his eyes fixed on the black figures on the distant roof.
After a while, the black shadows started to move.
They rushed through several houses one after another and landed in the Wannian County government office in no particular order. In the blink of an eye, the sound of fierce fighting suddenly sounded, accompanied by constant scoldings and screams, which seemed particularly harsh in the quiet night.
This moment suddenly alerted the tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers guarding nearby, and a large number of soldiers and horses suddenly poured out of the street and rushed straight to the county government office.
On the roofs around the county government office, there were originally hidden sentries set up by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but who would have thought that at this time, they had already been secretly solved by the rebel spy masters. Facing the surging Forbidden Army officers and soldiers, the rebel spies occupying favorable terrain began shooting desperately with bows, arrows and crossbows, killing more than a dozen people in an instant.
The remaining Tiger and Leopard Cavalry warriors couldn't tell where the arrows came from for a moment, so they quickly stopped and looked for cover. Then they bent their bows and nocked arrows, and fired back randomly into the darkness.
The reinforcements outside the county government office were temporarily blocked by the shooters, and the shouts of killing inside the prison were even louder than before.
Obviously, the rebel masters have successfully penetrated into the core area, so the battle has become increasingly fierce. This attack speed was not only beyond the expectations of the Forbidden Army's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but even Shen Lie and Yuan Bin, who were watching the battle outside, couldn't help but secretly praise the masters of Huben Camp for their speed.
It stands to reason that since Ouyang Lin has been preparing for such a long time, there must be many obstacles inside the prison, and they are all elite tiger and leopard cavalry. No matter what, they should be able to last for a while and a half.
Unexpectedly, the rebels had just begun to launch an attack. In a blink of an eye, they had entered the prison and effectively killed and wounded many guards.
"They must have used Nilin Division's magic weapon." Shen Lie said solemnly.
Yuan Bin asked curiously: "You mean the Bewildered Bead?"
Shen Lie shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not just the confusion beads. Poison-quenching sleeve arrows, iron-locked flying claws, thunder bullets, bone-penetrating nails, these are all sharp weapons used to carry out surprise attacks. Whether it's Lao Jianhua or Wen Xiao, They are all experts in this field.”
Yuan Bin agreed: "Yes, the two of them were from Beiya Nilin Division, and they must have stolen a lot of skills from there. In addition, the Huben camp is all masters selected from the Xuanjia Legion, so their combat power itself is Far surpassing the Imperial Army, Ouyang Lin is in doubt this time."
Shen Lie sneered: "It doesn't matter whether he is hanging or not, the important thing is that we are the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind, we can't let Wen Xiao and Wu Ling slip away."
"Do you want to act now?" Yuan Bin asked.
"Not busy." Shen Lie glanced at the Forbidden Army Tiger and Leopard Cavalry who were fighting back on the street and approaching the Wannian County Prison: "Guess how Wen Xiao will choose to escape in the face of numerous sieges?"
Yuan Bin responded without hesitation: "I'll probably use the cover of the confusion beads, and then go up and down to escape from the roof of the house."
Shen Lie smiled and said: "Ouyang Lin is not an idiot. His back-up plan will definitely lay down defenses for the high-altitude paths and will never allow the rebels to leave so easily. And Wen Xiao is experienced and will definitely be able to do this. Make predictions to avoid being ambushed by Ouyang Lin because of escaping from the house."
Hearing what he said, Yuan Bin was suddenly curious: "Lord Chang Shi, if you were Wen Tieshou, what would you do?"
"I will break my subordinates into pieces, and then disguise themselves," Shen Lie said one word at a time: "Then with the help of the confusion caused by the Bead of Confusion, I will sneak away from the streets as a forbidden soldier or a government servant."
-
"Have you found Rui Ji?"
Wen Xiao chopped down the tiger and leopard knight in front of him with one knife, then turned to ask Wu Ling who was coming from behind.
Wu Ling raised his hand and pointed to a small independent cell not far away: "We searched everything and found no one, except for that place."
Wen Xiao cursed and shouted angrily: "It's going to exceed the scheduled time! If you don't hurry up, we'll all have to finish playing!"
Wu Ling nodded silently, then roared, swung his knife forward, and rushed toward the small cell with a few of his men.
Wen Xiao was about to follow him when suddenly a prisoner in prison uniform rushed from the side and punched him without saying a word.
Wen Xiao smiled ferociously and turned around to meet him. The fists and claws intersected, and there was a muffled sound. The Nilin Division spy who was pretending to be a prisoner was immediately injured internally and couldn't help but retreat with a groan.
Wen Xiao was unyielding and chased after him. He first used a feint to shake off the opponent's arms, and then tore open the man's throat with his other claw.
After dealing with the Nilin Division spies, Wen Xiao turned around and looked back, just in time to see Wu Ling and his men successfully kill several tiger and leopard knights guarding the small cell, and then threw a confusion bead into the cell.
The next moment, two rebel masters rushed in one after another, and then there was another fierce fighting in the cell.
Wu Ling was anxious and was about to break in, but the two rebel masters who had previously rushed in had already ran out with a woman covered in blood, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Found it! It's her!"
Wu Ling was overjoyed when he saw this, and quickly stepped forward to support Rui Ji, who was in a coma, and asked with concern: "Madam, madam, how are you? Madam!"
Wen Xiao rushed towards them in a few steps and couldn't help shouting: "Stop fucking Jiji! Take the people out first!"
Hearing this, Wu Ling nodded quickly, and then ordered his men: "Let Ma Jie and his team clear out all the enemies here who can still breathe, and the other brothers quickly change their clothes!"
After hearing the order, all the subordinates agreed one after another, and then hurriedly tore off their night clothes, revealing the imperial uniform hidden under the clothes.
In the blink of an eye, the twenty dozen rebel masters who broke into the Wannian County jail transformed into the costumes of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. The armor they wore was not the standard iron protective gear of the Forbidden Army. Instead, the leather armor was painted with black paint to disguise it as iron armor. Since visibility is unclear at night, it is indeed easy to get confused if you don't check carefully.
Wen Xiao waved his hand and shouted: "Send a signal to the outside and let those idiots rush in. At the same time, the Bewildering Pearl is waiting!"
"As you command!"
Several rebels agreed and turned around to notify the shooters guarding outside.
Wen Xiao looked at Rui Ji, who was wrapped tightly in black cloth, and asked Wu Ling, "Have you seen that guy named Ouyang Lin?"
While Wu Ling asked his men to help tie Ruiji behind his back, he responded: "When we came in just now, I saw an official, who was vaguely Ouyang Lin, but later the two sides were disrupted, so I didn't know he was hiding. where."
Wen Xiao shook his head: "Forget it, let's take advantage of that kid and let him live for two more days. Let's go!"
After saying that, he turned around and strode forward to lead the way. At the same time, he kept waving his hands and throwing confusion beads around him.
When a large amount of thick smoke dispersed in all directions, the sound of the Forbidden Army's tiger and leopard cavalry reinforcements rushing in was also heard from the cell door not far away.
