Hundreds of men in black carefully avoided the Jinwu guards who were on night duty in Chang'an in the rainy night.
Continuing to drive in one direction, I encountered some official carriages that occasionally returned late, and stopped to let them leave.
In this way, no outsiders noticed along the way.
They gestured and spoke secret codes, and after confirming that they were correct, they gathered together silently.
The team was silent, except for the sound of rain hitting the tiles on the roof and the ground.
rainy night
rainwater
During the wind and rain, some leaves on the roadside were blown off by the wind and rain, and they fell on the ground or in puddles of water.
The man in black, whose entire body was completely black except for his eyes, trampled him under his feet.
Perhaps the biggest contribution of these leaves tonight is to record the footsteps of these people, provided that the rain will not take them all away.
The masked people in black kept meeting each other as they marched, and finally formed four teams.
If you look from the sky, you will definitely find that they will eventually meet in one place.
Outside the Chaijiaqiao Duke's Mansion
Four groups of men in black stopped, hiding their figures in the darkness and waiting quietly.
tatata
The neat footsteps of the night watch Jinwu guards came from two directions. They lowered their bodies and tried to hide themselves.
The two teams of Jinwu Guards on night duty met again.
The two parties usually do not work in the same guard station, but occasionally bump into each other during night duty. Although the two parties do not see each other often when patrolling, they are familiar with each other in private, and they stop to chat with each other.
"Hey, Lao Wang"
"Old Lu"
"We met again today"
"Yeah, how are you today?"
"Don't mention it, this autumn rain is so cold."
"Yes, it's unlucky that it happened to rain. It's going to be a tough night tonight."
"Old Wang, you have to take a good breath when you go out at night, otherwise the night will not be so good."
"It's necessary. It was fixed when I came here."
"It's getting late, finish this patrol as soon as possible and go back to change shifts."
"Let's go. If you have nothing to do tomorrow, come out and have a drink."
"okay"
The two Jinwu Guards who led the team finished their chattering. Naturally, their subordinates who were familiar with him also chatted a few words. When their commander wanted to leave, they naturally said hello and followed him.
In the shadows, the man in black waited for the two teams of Jinwu Guards to leave before he breathed a sigh of relief and cursed in a low voice: "What are these slutty hawks and dogs talking about on a rainy day? Why don't you go back to your kennel earlier? It rained for so long for nothing."
"Brother, don't worry, even if they don't leave, won't it be time?"
"Tch, not only did we pay a lot of money to come down from the mountain, but we also found other people to look down on."
"Brother, our business is not easy to do in itself. Wouldn't it be better if someone else takes the blame?"
"Tch, let me tell you we shouldn't have come, and we didn't want to see whose house it was. Then the cat would be stuck in the mountains for years and it would be difficult to come out."
"Fourth brother, if you can make money, just stay here for a few years and come out and enjoy it in the next life."
"That's how we can avoid being hunted by the court. I'm still worried. They will take advantage of us later."
"Old Si, shut your crow mouth"
"It's not unreasonable for me to be worried. There are so many people who have done this, and my eyes will light up after a while. We'll see what happens."
"yes"
The other three teams of men in black were also dormant in the rainy night, waiting for the moment to attack.
Less than half an hour later, two night watch Jinwu guards passed by again, saying hello and leaving.
The rain was still falling, and some of the four men in black were still shivering from the cold.
"Why is it not yet time?"
"Don't worry, the update hasn't arrived yet."
The words fell to the ground
Dangdangdang
Three sounds of the watch came from the rain.
A watchman wearing a raincoat and holding a watchman came out of the rain, shouting: "It's the fourth watch in the ugly time, and it's freezing cold."
Dangdangdang
The watchman in a raincoat stopped for a moment at the door of Chai Mansion and waved the thing in his hand.
"It's the fourth watch of the ugly season, and it's freezing cold"
Naturally, there were two gatekeepers in armor at the Chai family's house. Seeing him staying at night, they signaled him to leave.
"Let's go, don't shout here and disturb the people in the house."
"yes"
As the watchman walked away, a guard from the Chai Mansion asked him: "Why do I feel like there is a different watchman today? There is something wrong with his body shape."
"Well, no, why didn't I see it?"
"I think there's something wrong with the voice. It doesn't seem to be Lao Chentou."
"Really? I didn't hear it. Old Chen may have suffered some cold or something in his first year."
"It's possible"
The watchman nodded and continued walking. There was a cold light in his eyes under the raincoat, and a murderous intention came out of them.
Just now, I suspected that the gatekeeper was shrunk by the cold wind, and muttered: "It's so cold, I forgot to wear thicker clothes."
Another person on the side advised him: "Then you go back and add one more, I'm watching."
"Is this okay? I'll tell the housekeeper later that I'm not the one."
"Go ahead, you can change your clothes as long as you want. If you can't, just bring me over and change them."
The gatekeeper hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I'll go get the clothes, it'll be quick."
"Okay, let's go"
As he watched the person come in, the other gatekeeper changed his lazy and confused look and gestured with the late watcher.
The caller was stunned for a moment, then responded immediately.
"The fourth ugliest hour"
“There’s no firewood left.”
The two signaled their opponents and nodded to each other. The gatekeeper pointed to the side door of Chai Mansion through which people had just entered: "Hurry up, you don't have much time."
"Um"
The watchman nodded, then knocked the watch object in his hand three times and shouted: "The fourth watch is ugly."
Four groups of men in black in the rainy night heard the signal and ran out from the corners one after another.
They filed in through the side door without saying a word.
The watchman walked away from them and disappeared into the rainy night.
After the watchman left, he closed the side door again and continued to guard there as if nothing had happened.
Four groups of men in black rushed into Chai Mansion. They already knew the layout of Chai Mansion beforehand, and rushed straight through without stopping, towards the main building of Chai Mansion.
"Are there footsteps?"
As the Duke of the country, the Chai family naturally had guards and private soldiers patrolling the house at night. When they saw the man in black rushing over, they drew their swords.
Then, before he had any contact with anyone, the two companions behind him reached out and covered his mouth. It was painful, and a short knife penetrated the leather armor.
Why
We have known each other for so long, why would he stab himself in the back.
Could it be
He wanted to shout loudly, but with a twist of the dagger, his vision went black and he lost consciousness.
The guard who killed the person pointed at an archway: "The target is inside. The generals of the Ding family have been drugged and will not wake up for a short time. You guys act quickly and don't cause any trouble. It's out." If there is any other movement, the guards and servants from the Duke's Mansion will be here soon, and then there will be trouble. "
The man in black looked at the murderer so swiftly and recognized that he was one of his own. He did not bother to read the code and rushed towards his predetermined target without saying hello.
A rainy night in autumn is such a good weather to do this kind of thing.
The guard who killed the man saw all the men in black rushing in and followed them.
