Other than Zhao Podi, Xiao Gui, and the others, there were two other groups of people looking for Duan Hu in Shangjing.
One of them was a group of barbarians from the East Chamber.
The other group was the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
However, both groups were under Wei Zhongxian's jurisdiction.
After nightfall, although people could walk around the city, fireworks were not allowed. This was an iron rule.
At night, only the guards on the city gates could set off fireworks to convey military orders.
Suddenly, the fireworks in the sky were exceptionally dazzling.
At this time, Xu Xianchun was leading the Embroidered Uniform Guards to search for Duan Hu around the Courier Station of the Ministry of War.
Suddenly, fireworks exploded in the sky.
"Chongnan Lane!"
A small flag officer of the Embroidered Uniform Guards next to Xu Xianchun said as he looked at the fireworks in the sky.
"Milord, it's not the fireworks used by the city defense, but the dragon-passing fireworks used by the border army!”The junior flag officer standing beside Xu Xianchun added.
"How did you know?" Xu Xianchun asked.
"I participated in the Battle of Sa Er Hu in the 47th year of Wanli.”The junior flag officer replied.
Border army's signal flare?
Duan Hu!
Xu Xianchun was shocked.
Currently, Duan Hu was the only border soldier who had returned to Shangjing to report on his work, even though there were such fireworks in the inner city's arsenal.
However, no one dared to take it out and set it off.
Duan Hu was the only one who had the ability to conceal the fireworks!
"Inform the East Hall immediately and send a signal to everyone to go to Chongnan Lane!”
After Xu Xianchun finished speaking, the Embroidered Uniform Guards took out their tokens and shot them into the sky.
Then, the group quickly rushed to Chongnan Lane!
The fireworks of the signal arrow in the sky above Shangjing City rose in all directions. The guards in the Imperial City naturally saw the fireworks at night.
In the main hall of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Tianqi was still sitting on the throne.
None of the officials in the court had left, as if they were waiting for Duan Hu.
"Your Majesty, the Embroidered Uniform Guards seem to have discovered the whereabouts of Uncle Zhong Yong. At present, the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the people of the East Chamber have already headed in the direction of Chongnan Lane!”
A commander of the palace guards walked to the main hall and reported to Emperor Tianqi.
Chongnan Lane?
What was Duan Hu doing in Chongnan Lane?
Yang Lian and the others looked at each other and did not say anything.
Emperor Tianqi sat on his throne and nodded.
"Immediately send someone to follow the Embroidered Uniform Guards and find out what exactly Zhongyong Bo is doing.”Emperor Tianqi said.
At this moment, Prince Xin Zhu Youjian, who was sitting below Emperor Tianqi, heard the words Chong Ming Square. His hand that was holding the wine glass trembled slightly.
Then, he looked at Ye Xianggao, who was sitting leisurely in the hall.
The room where the monks lived in the backyard of Chongnan Lane's Anhua Temple was surrounded by corpses.
More than 20 corpses were lying around.
As for the White Lotus Saintess, she had already run away.
After Duan Hu fired the whistling arrow, he had already run away.
The reason Duan Hu shot the whistling arrow was mainly because he was worried about Zhang Erniu's mother and Zhang Yunlong.
As long as the two of them were here, even if the other party wanted to leave, he could not stop them.
Therefore, he needed the support of Zhao Podi and the others.
However, the White Lotus Saintess was more vigilant than he had imagined.
Right after he fired the whistling arrow, the White Lotus Saintess gave the order to retreat.
There were about 30 to 40 White Lotus Disciples hiding in the temple. He killed more than 20 of them, and the remaining 10 or so ran away.
"Big Brother Duan, you're too amazing. When I grow up, I want to join the army like you and kill the enemy, just as amazing as Big Brother Duan!”
Zhang Yunlong said.
Duan Hu smiled.
"Alright, in a few days, Big Brother Duan will bring you to Liaodong and let you see what a real Liaodong soldier is!”
Zhang Yunlong nodded his head vigorously.
"Lord Duan, everyone has said that Lord Duan wants to move all the military households in Shangjing to Liaodong. Some people are worried about the bitter cold in Liaodong.”Zhang Erniu's mother said.
"Don't worry, auntie. When we reach Liaodong, everyone will have land to grow, and we won't have to worry about food. I can guarantee with my life that everyone will get better food there than in Shangjing.”Duan Hu said.
Zhang Erniu's mother nodded and said with relief,""Lord Duan's words are enough. Everyone believes in Lord Duan.”
"General!"
Zhao Podi, Xiao Gui, and the others broke through the monastery's door and entered the monastery.
He saw the corpses all over the place.
"General, we are late. Please punish us!”
Zhao Podi, Xiao Gui, and the others knelt in front of Duan Hu.
Duan Hu waved his hand.
"Get up and gather all the corpses here. I think the Embroidered Uniform Guards will be here soon.”Duan Hu said.
"Yes, sir!"
After agreeing, Zhao Podi and the others began to get busy.
Duan Hu walked to the side of Chen Youliang, who had already died, and pulled out the crescent-shaped hidden weapon on the back of his neck.
The surface of the hidden weapon was suffused with a green light.
It should be poison.
After putting away the hidden weapon, Duan Hu came to the main hall of the temple.
