At the same time, in the outer city of Qinzhou, in a remote place.
Officer Qi Ying is leading a large number of officers and soldiers of the Wuwei Mansion to lurk nearby, preparing to arrest a group of people in a house not far away.
Because just before, he received a secret report from the offline, saying that there were more than ten strangers here, with strange whereabouts, often living in seclusion, and even saw crossbows.
Crossbows are extremely lethal at long range and are strictly prohibited from being carried by ordinary people.
Once this happens, the opponent will most likely be either an assassin or someone with evil intentions.
At this time, when King Xuan was coming, she made a big show of it. The careful work of other countries had already discovered that if there were monarchs with ulterior motives who wanted to provoke a war between Qin and Xuan, then assassinating King Xuan in Qinzhou would undoubtedly be the most effective!
At that time, no matter how Qin explains it, war between the two countries is absolutely inevitable!
Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening, Xiao Yuan had already ordered to secretly set up an invisible line of defense, and at the same time investigate the assassins carefully to ensure the safety of Qinzhou.
Qi Ying is not only highly skilled, but also has a good way of investigating and handling cases, and has a wide network of contacts.
The connections here do not refer to the officialdom, but involve the three religions and nine streams. To put it simply, if he wants to investigate something in Qinzhou, there will be many local snakes to help him.
A group of officers and soldiers were hiding in the corner, looking at the residential house not far away, Qi Ying asked in a solemn voice:
"sure?"
Next to him, there was a man in coarse linen clothes. He nodded immediately after hearing this: "Don't worry, Mr. Qi, this is what I and a few brothers saw with their own eyes!"
"Okay!" Qi Ying suppressed her excitement and immediately waved forward.
Following his movements, a group of officers and soldiers came forward one after another, some with their backs against the walls on both sides of the gate, drawing swords, some with bows and crossbows, and they instantly surrounded the place.
Then, an officer and soldier in civilian clothes came to the door and started knocking: "Is anyone there?"
"anyone there?"
He kept shouting, and not long after, the door was opened a crack, revealing a gloomy face: "What's going on?"
The officers and soldiers smiled and said, "I'm passing by here, could you please ask for a glass of water..."
Looking from inside the door, no officers and soldiers could be seen outside, because Qi Ying and others were ambushing on both sides of the door.
But before he could give the next order, a miserable howl was heard, and the official who knocked on the door staggered back, covering his belly with his hand, his face was pale, and his hands were full of blood.
ah! ? Seeing this scene, Qi Ying was shocked. He didn't expect that the other party was so vicious. He was just borrowing water from passers-by and would kill him at will!
He stepped forward in an instant, dragged the injured official and retreated. At the same time, he made a decisive decision: "Attack in!"
With an order, the officers and soldiers who had been prepared on both sides quickly stepped forward. Several people worked together to hold sharp wooden stakes, aimed at the door, and slammed into it.
With a bang, the door was broken, and the officers and soldiers rushed in quickly and well-trained.
Inside the house, the gloomy man probably didn't expect that there were so many officers and soldiers ambushing him outside. He was frightened and fled to the back room, while screaming: "Enemy attack——"
This is a signal only used in the military!
Qi Ying was shocked, brandished his sword and shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
After entering, the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei Mansion immediately squatted down in the front row, raised their crossbows and arrows, and drew their bows in the back row, launching the first salvo.
The sharp arrows came, as dense as rain. Under the direct fire, the man had been nailed into a hedgehog before he could reach the door of the inner room!
"Enemy attack - run..." Before he died, he was still shouting with his hands outstretched.
In the back room, more than a dozen young men were already alert and drew their weapons and swords one after another. There was a panic.
But what followed was another salvo!
There were crackling sounds one after another.
Sharp arrows were nailed to the wooden door, breaking through the doors and windows, and countless arrows were shot into the house.
There were screams and clinking sounds of weapons.
Inside the house, those people were obviously blocking.
Qi Ying said with a cold face: "Keep shooting arrows!"
Under such arrows, it won't be long before there will be no room left in the entire house.
Sure enough, following several miserable howls, a man jumped out not long after, swiping his sharp sword one after another, cutting off the arrows.
"Keep alive!" With an order, the officers and soldiers drew back their bows.
At the same time, the man jumped directly onto the roof with a little ground under his feet, and ran away.
"Where to escape!" shouted, Qi Ying followed closely and jumped up.
He had superb movement skills and was as fast as lightning. In just a moment, he was behind the man.
Hearing the movement behind him, the man didn't say anything. He took out a concealed weapon without looking at it. He threw it backwards and quickly passed over another roof.
With a few clanging sounds, Qi Ying stepped on the tiles, his body kept moving, and his sword instantly knocked away the hidden weapon.
"It's a small skill! You dare to do the same thing! You're a rat!"
ah! ? Unexpectedly, this officer was so powerful. The man didn't dare to stop at all. He immediately jumped off the roof, stepped on the courtyard wall, and tried to jump into an alley.
But at this moment, a rope was swept from an angle, hitting the man's leg and wrist. After wrapping around it, he pulled hard.
The man was caught off guard, screamed, fell directly to the wall, and began to be dragged away.
In this situation, knowing that he was exposed and unable to escape, the man made a quick decision while being dragged, reached into his arms, took out a pill, and put it directly into his mouth.
When he was dragged to his side with a rope, his face was already black and blue, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.
"Here, he committed suicide by taking poison." said the man with the rope in his hand. He was wearing brocade clothes and official boots. He was a member of the Duwei camp.
"It seems that these people are dead soldiers." The other person's expression was not very good.
This clue was discovered by the Wuwei Mansion, but it was also watched by the Duwei Camp for a long time.
The two sides collided.
Immediately afterwards, Qi Ying arrived, jumped down, first looked at the dead assassin on the ground, and then looked at the two guardsmen, and the fire suddenly started!
"You!" He pointed at the knife angrily and said with a glare: "Do you know how much effort these assassins have put in! Now they are dead!"
"He committed suicide by taking poison." People from the Duwei camp quickly explained.
"If you hadn't suddenly appeared! How could it be like this!" Qi Ying's anger continued.
At this time, a large number of officers and soldiers also arrived here.
"Get it!" Qi Ying shouted angrily immediately.
"you dare!?"
"Qi Ying! We are all working for the king! We are serving the country! I am the captain of the guard camp, and I am not someone to be trifled with! Let's try to touch us today!"
But Qi Ying is furious! Seeing that he was about to catch up with the assassin, but something like this happened, how could he not get angry!
"Catch him!"
"No!" The order was given again, and the officers and soldiers of Wuwei Mansion no longer hesitated, moving up and down in unison, and stepped forward one after another.
There are only two people in the Duwei camp, and the other party has a large number of people, so there is no way they can resist.
