At night, Xuanwu was writing something in Xuannanfang.

Although the people in Diting Liangjiangtang died, fled, and were captured, and there were no one available for dispatch in the entire Hongdu Mansion, even if no one returns the news and counts the time, Wu Jian should have arrived in the Hongdu Mansion.

Unknown that after arriving in Hongdu Prefecture, Wu Jian, who saw that the situation was not good, sold him without hesitation and was still trying to sell Xuanwu at a good price. At this moment, he was still thinking about how to contact Wu Jian who had already sneaked into Hongdu Prefecture.

After all, the fundamental reason for his cooperation with Wu Jian was that he hoped that Wu Jian could provide him with continuous information about the Ning Prince's Mansion, rather than let Wu Jian become a dead end, and only enable it when necessary.

Not to mention whether Wu Jian is willing to sell his life to him or not, and whether he can afford it, is not that great for Xuanwu.

From beginning to end, he never dared to expect to seriously invade the Ning Prince's Mansion or even assassinate the Ning Prince. All he wanted was to let Beijitian and let him escape from the control of the Ning Prince's Mansion.

With this purpose, he was far from being so crazy.

...

But no one hurts the tiger's will, and the tiger is harmful to the hearts of the people.

He was only determined to get rid of Xuanwu, who was under the control of the Ning Prince's Mansion. He didn't know that when he was still trying hard to send people to contact Wu Jian, the killers who assassinated him had already touched Xuannanfang.

"It's here."

Stopped, Li Donghua turned his head and looked at the five pairs of eyes staring at him behind him. He pointed at a small courtyard not far away with a little unexpected look and said to them.

Although many of his men knew the news that Shuting came to report to Li Donghua yesterday, Li Donghua was the only one who really knew the exact location of Xuanwu in Xuannanfang.

Even Shuting was the first to find out about this news, he didn't know it.

It is of great importance, and Li Donghua has to be more careful.

Of course, he was not worried that someone under him would betray him, betray the Ning Prince's Mansion, and leak the news. Otherwise, the news that Shuting found would not be spread, but that he and Shuting would only know.

But he was worried that the young and energetic, ignorant young people under his command would be unable to help but act without knowing the news.

After all, this news was found out by the "local snakes" who have been working hard in the capital for several years. Why did they give Ye Yi and the other five to seize the greatest credit?

This contribution should have belonged to them, which also made the Hongdu Mansion's old ministers claim to be old ministers, so they looked at the group of old guys who couldn't afford to see them, and who was the real talent under King Ning.

But for the leader Li Donghua, he obviously did not want his subordinates to intervene in the action without authorization.

First of all, different responsibilities and being able to act without voluntarily is an act of overreach of authority.

Secondly, if something really happens, wouldn’t it be a waste of money and even the credit that originally belonged to me will be gone?

Third, since he came to the capital four years ago, he established this stronghold from nothing, and tried his best to pull up the team. If something goes wrong this time, it would be fine if he is criticized and punished by the superiors. If he attracts the attention of the government or is targeted by Xuanwu, then his efforts over the past four years will probably be wasted.

Therefore, for these considerations, even though he had found that Xuanwu was only guarding him, he still resisted the impulse in his heart. At the same time, in order to prevent the young and energetic boys under him from being unable to contain their restless hearts, he took the initiative to "help" them to cut off this idea and did not tell the other people the news.

Therefore, tonight, he, the leader of the capital's intelligence, will guide Ye Yi and the five people to come.

...

"Is Xuanwu really only one guard around him?"

As Li Donghua looked at Ye Yi in the small courtyard with his finger, he immediately took his eyes back after just a look, as if he was worried that he would be noticed by Xuanwu inside after watching for too long.

However, looking at his gaze that was firmly locked in Li Donghua's eyes, the reason why he quickly shrank his gaze was probably more because he didn't trust Li Donghua's words.

Of course, it's not his fault.

No matter who it is, I guess when I heard Li Donghua tell him that Xuanwu was in an ordinary courtyard in Xuannanfang, and there was only one subordinate guard around me, a burst of suspicion would arise in my heart, suspecting that Li Donghua was either joking or deliberately playing with them.

"Ha, do you think I'm so stupid that I use this head to deliberately fool you?"

Li Donghua naturally immediately realized the true meaning behind Ye Yi, and couldn't help but sneer, and without showing any weakness, he also pushed Ye Yi's obviously suspicious eyes back, pointed at his head, and asked him back.

“…”

Ye Yi fell into silence.

Indeed, no matter what, even if the courtyard is not far away is a trap, the five of them will be ambushed immediately after stepping in tonight, and they will not be able to convey the news back to the Ning Prince's Mansion. Li Donghua, after the mission failed, would not be able to survive.

"The other party has only two people. If you still haven't successfully killed the dog tonight..."

Seeing Ye Yi falling into silence, Li Donghua couldn't help but show a little complacent in his eyes, but this kind of complacent also flashed with his eyes turning to another person behind him.

"Amitabha, Brother Li, please rest assured. If Brother Li's information is indeed correct, I will definitely report the truth to the prince."

Seeing Li Donghua's eyes turn to him, the seventh person who came tonight with Li Donghua and Ye Yi and the other five, was also a person of another force representing King Ning. A fat man with a big body and big body, looking like a tight-fitting and kind-hearted fat monk, or just a "smart and smart man", immediately opened his mouth to assure Li Donghua.

However, on the one hand, he yelled the Buddha's name, but on the other hand, his mouth was full of the aura of brotherhood, which made people sound quite a bit confused.

But it is obvious that this feeling cannot affect the trust between Li Donghua and Ye Yi in him.

After he spoke, whether it was Ye Yi, whose face was originally full of suspicion of Li Donghua's intelligence, or Li Donghua, who had a disdainful sneer, he stopped talking and stopped refuting each other. Ye Yi and his men turned around and disappeared into the darkness. After Li Donghua apologized to the fat monk, he also turned around and disappeared into the darkness, leaving only the other party still staying in place, enduring the north wind whistling in the cold winter.

...

I don’t know how long it has passed, but when I look at the sidelines I feel that the fat figure may have been blown to death by the howling north wind in the cold winter, or even perhaps have fallen into a coma, the figure that had been standing like a sculpture finally moved.

"The fourth update of the scandal is cold and the ground is frozen!"

What "awakened" him was the beating of the gong and the loud rumbling of the loud notification.

Time is up.

The fat figure, who had been closing his eyes, opened his eyes and locked firmly at the small courtyard opposite where Li Donghua pointed out that Xuanwu was hiding.

There were no other figures in his eyes, but he knew very well that Ye Yi and the other five who had disappeared before must have sneaked into the courtyard at this time.

Because this is the hands-on time I booked before.

The reason why I chose to do it at this time is because this is the time when people are most tired. And it will be bright in about an hour.

The troops of the five cities' military personnel who had been patrolling had almost completely slacked off at this time, and they could escape even better after Ye Yi and others succeeded.

...

In the courtyard, the skills among the five people were no longer the best, but the experience was definitely the richest. Ye Yi first passed the wall that was more than one person tall and quietly landed in the courtyard.

However, after carefully observing the surroundings and determining that everything is safe, he did not send any signal to inform the four subordinates outside. Instead, he just waited in place, as if he had hit the fixed method described in the Shijin Stories Book.

The four subordinates waiting outside counted about thirty numbers in their hearts, but still didn't hear any sounds coming from the wall, and then climbed over the wall one by one.

For them, it is safe to do so without making any sound throughout the whole process.

After all, no matter what the code is, no matter how it is to learn to meow, dog bark or bird bark, it may attract the enemy's alertness in this quiet winter night.

However, when the five people touched the closed room, the situation became different again.

...

"laugh!"

A slight, and quickly covered by the wind, passed by in an instant, but no one could ignore this slight sound.

Because with this slight sound, there was not a big cluster, but in this dark winter night, it was enough to attract everyone, illuminating only a few inches of distance around.

Then, four similar slight sounds sounded, and four lights illuminated the hands holding them.

...

Unlike most people imagine, in fact, in winter, especially in the north, the chance of a fire is not smaller than in summer.

Because in addition to the unfavorable factor of cold weather, winter in the north is a very "favorable" factor for fires.

The air is dry, which reduces the moisture in the air. Naturally, the moisture contained in flammable substances will decrease accordingly if it is not supplemented. In this way, the already flammable items such as wood and hay will become more easily ignited.

Similarly, the north wind that always whistles in the ears in winter will undoubtedly become the best helper for the fire after the flames are ignited.

At this time, what a fire lacks is nothing more than a small fire.

This flame may be a candle that the snooze person did not care about, or a firework or light that was not manipulated, but at this moment, in this small courtyard, there is a fire note held by Ye Yiwu people.

The hay found in the woodshed to ignite fire became the "accomplices" of this man-made arson, and the north wind that has never stopped has become the best promoter.

In just a moment, the flames that were swept up by the wind rushed to the roof with lightning speed.

...

"It's gone, it's gone!"

The first warning was not the one who slept in the room, but Ye Yi, the despised arsonists.

Even if you just ignore it, you may burn Xuanwu to death directly in the fire.

But his natural prudence, or "sense of mission", made Ye Yi not let Xuanwu die so "unclear".

After all, no matter how certain Li Donghua's promise was, the person who sleeps in this room surrounded by flames may not be Xuanwu.

Ye Yi must see Xuanwu's face, which was panicked or desperate, with his own eyes, before he could completely confirm that this time he had really killed the dog and successfully completed the task assigned by King Ning.

...

Ye Yi and the five others shouted loudly, and immediately woke the nearby people from their sleep.

The gong, who had just left with the gong not long ago, suddenly lit up (literally), ran back as quickly as possible. At the same time, the gong, which was originally very "cherished" and could only beat him after almost a dozen steps, seemed to be completely ignored at this moment, and was hit by the wooden hammer, and the noisy sound spread to all directions, constantly stimulating everyone's ears.

But at this time, obviously no one would complain about the harsh sound of Tonggong. Even if the person gets up, he doesn't have time to get angry. Instead, he quickly wakes up his family, wears clothes, and prepares to check the situation and puts out the fire.

As neighbors, they knew very well how serious the consequences would be if the fire could not be put out as soon as possible.

Even the neighbors were like this, and the owner in the room surrounded by flames was a little more frightened in addition to being anxious.

What is within reach is the flames that shine in the room like daylight. No one can be astonished in this situation.

"Canglang!"

However, unlike those ordinary people who had no rules in panic, who only followed their instincts and fled out like headless flies, the people in the room at this time, although their faces were also full of impatient expressions, they did not completely panic. Of course, what is more important is that they had swords in their hands.

"Go to the window!"

After a brief thought, they immediately made a decision.

After all, this simple house has an open space when it comes out of the window. As for whether the windows are still burning, it is relatively simple for them who have swords in their hands.
