"Take some men personally and secretly keep an eye on Yang Hong."”
"This subject obeys the decree!"
A cold light flashed in Zhao Gao's eyes when he heard this. He respectfully agreed.
Zhu Qizhen could not help but frown slightly when he saw this." Don't think you're smart. I'm not asking you to kill Yang Hong. Yang Hong had been in the Xuan Manor for many years, so there would definitely be die-hard supporters.”
"I killed Yang Hong's son, Yang Jun, in front of everyone, and even passed the command to the three armies. Yang Hong must be resentful, and perhaps some of his loyal followers will secretly save him and cause a rebellion.”
Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Zhao Gao was even more puzzled." If that's the case, why doesn't Your Majesty want me to kill Yang Hong directly? I guarantee that I won't leave any flaws!”
"If I wanted to kill Yang Hong, why would I need to do it in secret?" Zhu Qizhen asked. The reason why I temporarily kept Yang Hong was to lure out the hidden danger in the army. In addition, he might be able to find out who was colluding with Yang Hong. As for killing Yang Hong, he could do it at any time!”
When Zhao Gao heard this, he suddenly had a look of realization. He bowed to Zhu Qizhen and said respectfully,"Your Majesty is wise and far-sighted. This subject is far inferior!”
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said," Alright, don't flatter me. Bring your men and do it immediately. If anything happens due to carelessness, don't blame me for not reminding you!"”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will not disappoint you! I'll do it now!"
After saying that, Zhao Gao bowed to Zhu Qizhen and slowly retreated.
After Zhao Gao left, Zhu Qizhen stood up and took Tian Yan with him to patrol the Xuan Manor.
In the evening, Zhu Qizhen returned to the General's Estate. With Little Qin's help, he returned to his room to rest after dinner.
Zhu Qizhen was resting peacefully, but some people were destined to be restless.
On the way from the Xuan Manor to the capital, in a dilapidated temple twenty miles away from the Xuan Manor, a group of Jinyiwei dressed in flying fish uniforms were escorting Yang Hong and temporarily staying here.
This small team of Embroidered Uniform Guards was divided into two groups, taking turns to guard and rest.
In the middle of the night, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew outside the ruined temple.
Immediately after, the bonfire in the temple was extinguished.
"There's a situation! Everyone, be careful!"
Sensing this scene, the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Zhang Wu, spoke warily.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
However, before all the Embroidered Uniform Guards could prepare themselves, countless arrows suddenly shot towards the Embroidered Uniform Guards outside the temple!
The Embroidered Uniform Guards, who were awake, quickly unsheathed their sabers and waved them to block the arrows.
"Ding ding dang dang!"
The Embroidered Spring Saber collided with the arrow, producing a crisp sound.
"Puff! Puff! Puff!"
At the same time, the other half of the Embroidered Uniform Guards who had just woken up and had not had time to react were shot by arrows in the darkness. Those who were unlucky were shot through the head and died on the spot!
"The injured brothers, stay behind to look after Yang Hong. The rest of the brothers, follow me and kill our way out!”
Seeing this, the Embroidered Uniform Guard's small flag, Zhang Wu's eyes immediately burned with anger as he ordered his subordinates.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Wu took the lead and rushed out with his Embroidered Spring Saber.
Behind Zhang Wu, the few Embroidered Uniform Guards who were not injured also held their Embroidered Spring Sabers and followed vigilantly.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
As soon as they left, they were greeted by another wave of arrows.
Zhang Wu and his men quickly waved their Embroidered Spring Sabers to block the arrows. At the same time, they rushed in the direction of the arrows.
After paying the price of one death and two injuries, Zhang Wu led the remaining Embroidered Uniform Guards and finally rushed to the location of the archer.
The other party was all dressed in black and had their faces covered, revealing only their eyes.
"A bunch of rats who hide their heads and show their tails, go to hell!”
When Zhang Wu saw the enemy, he roared angrily and immediately charged forward with his Embroidered Spring Saber.
The other party did not answer. He threw away his bow and pulled out the sword at his waist and faced Zhang Wu and the others.
"Ding ding dang dang!"
The next moment, the two sides engaged in a short exchange of blows. The crisp sound of metal clashing rang out in the night sky again.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
“……”
After the two sides fought for a while, a few screams suddenly came from the dilapidated temple.
"Not good, we've fallen into a trap!"
Hearing the scream, Zhang Wu's expression changed. He cursed and prepared to turn back.
However, the other party held them back and did not give them the slightest chance to return to the temple!
"Bastard, since you don't want us to have an easy time, then let's all die together!”
Seeing this, Zhang Wu roared angrily. He did not care about Yang Hong in the temple anymore and immediately started fighting with the other party without any regard for his life.
The Brocade Guard under Zhang Wu also roughly understood the situation.
They had been ordered to escort Yang Hong, but Yang Hong had been rescued. Even if he returned, he would probably not have a good ending.
Thinking that it was all caused by these men in black in front of them, everyone was furious. They charged forward with a look of desperation.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, two piercingly cold sword lights came from the darkness, instantly slashing the necks of those men in black.
Then, Zhang Wu and the others only felt their vision blur. In front of them, there were only the corpses of the men in black left!
"Milord, what should we do now?"
Seeing this scene, the few of them looked at each other for a while. One of the Embroidered Uniform Guards asked Zhang Wu.
When Zhang Wu heard this, his eyes flickered and he said,"Bring all the corpses of these men in black back. We will return to the Xuan Manor and report the matter truthfully.”
"Yes, sir!"
Upon hearing Zhang Wu's words, the other Embroidered Uniform Guards immediately agreed respectfully without any hesitation.
"At least you know what's good for you!"
In the darkness, a figure that had merged into the night heard the conversation between Zhang Wu and the others. He muttered something and then his figure flashed, disappearing from the spot in an instant...
