Chapter 439 Action on a rainy night
Long Yan.
Late at night, Ning Fan was still sitting in the pavilion, despite the cold wind and the continuous autumn rain, but he still had no intention of leaving.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu were like two door gods, standing quietly behind Ning Fan, as if they had guessed what their lord was waiting for.
"tread!"
"tread!"
There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a man wearing a raincoat was seen walking over with hurried steps and bowed respectfully.
"My lord, things in the north have been decided."
"good!"
Ning Fan finally breathed a deep sigh of relief, looked at Jiang Ying and said, "Let's do it!"
"yes!"
As Ning Fan said these three words in an understatement, the Lu family was directly sentenced to death. In the courtyard of the county government, the royal guards who had been waiting for a long time were wearing black raincoats, bamboo hats on their heads, and holding embroidered spring knives. The drizzle at night was filled with a chilling atmosphere.
"Set off!"
Following Jiang Wei's order, several figures dispersed in all directions. A moment later, figures suddenly gathered from all directions on the silent streets of Changyan City.
In a dilapidated courtyard, a middle-aged man sat in the rain for a long time. His wife and children called him three or four times, but he remained unmoved. For some reason, his wife and children seemed to feel that his husband today was a little different from usual.
"What happened today?"
"It's okay, you go to bed first."
"Wow……"
The cry of a baby was heard in the house. The wife took a deep look at her husband and walked into the house.
"Dong dong dong!"
A lonely knock on the door sounded. The middle-aged man trembled suddenly, stood up and rushed into the house. He took off the bamboo hat and raincoat hanging from the wall and put it on his body. Then, under the surprised eyes of his wife, he took it out from under the bed. A locked wooden box, when opened, revealed an embroidered spring knife.
"What...what are you going to do?"
"Kill the rebels!"
The man was about to walk out of the house when he suddenly stopped and without looking back, his voice was choked with sobs: "I am from the capital. I came to Changyan City three years ago not as an exile, but to perform a mission. I am a Jinyiwei!" "
"If I can't come back before dawn, the court will send you a pension!"
"gone."
After saying that, he strode out of the yard, leaving only the cries of his wife, children and baby behind him.
…
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, mixed with a hint of cold wind, and the coolness of the autumn night seems to be particularly biting. A few dog barks can be heard in the distance from time to time, and the noisy footsteps on the street seem to indicate that this is a very special event. An ordinary night.
There were more and more people on the street, and the noisy footsteps became more orderly. Jiang Yu took long strides and led a group of royal guards to the door of Lu Mansion.
"Break the door!"
"promise!"
After giving the order, four men immediately flew forward and violently opened the door of the Lu Mansion. In the horrified eyes of the Lu Mansion slaves, butcher knives were waved on their necks.
"You...who are you?"
"kill!"
Without any unnecessary nonsense, figures rushed into the Lu Mansion one after another. Jiang Yu took heavy steps and said sternly: "Control everyone in the Lu Mansion. Anyone who belongs to the Lu family will be killed without mercy!"
"promise!"
The screams and screams of fear, along with the noisy footsteps, swept through the entire Lu Mansion in an instant.
"Master Hou!"
"Oh no."
"It's the Jin Yiwei... The Jin Yiwei came in."
A horrified shout awoke Lu Wenhan from his sleep. His reaction was not too disturbing. He stood up, put on his shirt, strode out of the dormitory, and whispered: "It came really fast. !”
"Brother!"
"Master Hou!"
As soon as Lu Wenhan walked out of his bedroom, he saw nervous-looking figures standing outside the door for a long time, even though the rain soaked their clothes, they didn't notice it.
This is a life-and-death disaster for their Lu family.
"Why panic!"
"My order, the soldiers of the Lu Mansion, will capture all the thieves who break into my Chuanshi Hou Mansion!"
"Send people to the county government, mobilize the county government troops, and come to suppress the thieves!"
"Let us Lu family people in the city also make a move."
As Lu Wenhan issued orders one after another, everyone seemed to have found a backbone, and a burly man walked out with a long sword in hand.
Following the sound of heavy footsteps, figures wearing armor quickly formed formations to confront the Jin Yiwei from a distance.
Lu Wenhan's figure also appeared in front of Jin Yiwei and his party. His eyes were colder and angry than ever before, but there was no trace of fear or panic.
"Master Lu, we meet again."
"Haha, our Marquis Mansion can't bear such a big battle today!"
"Is the Marquis ready to surrender and return astray, or is he going to continue to be stubborn?"
"Hahaha!"
Lu Wenhan laughed loudly, with an angry look on his face, and said loudly: "The guards in royal robes deceived the king, killed innocent people indiscriminately, harmed living beings, and brought trouble to the court. I have passed down that the Hou Mansion was founded by Dayu and was granted the title by Taizu. How can we tolerate it today?" You and other national thieves act recklessly and destroy the foundation of our great Yu?"
"Generals, obey the order!"
"Kill the rebels."
"promise!"
Hundreds of soldiers from the Lu Mansion were armed and ready to kill Jiang Yu and his entourage in a neat formation. Those who could be left by Lu Wenhan in the Hou Mansion were naturally the most elite group, with a chilling aura about them. The battle-hardened soldiers are no less impressive on the battlefield.
Jiang Lin's face sank, and he slowly raised his right hand. In an instant, the Jinyiwei raised their Zhuge Liannu and aimed at the soldiers of the Lu Mansion in front of them.
"Kill!"
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
The hundreds of Jinyiwei standing in front of him pulled the trigger of the crossbow, and arrows shot out one after another. Although most of them were blocked by the shields of the private soldiers, they still brought effective lethality.
Lu Wenhan and Jiang Lin were like two sculptures, standing calmly behind the two sides and looking at each other silently.
Both of them seemed to be waiting, and the battle seemed to be in a stalemate. Although the Jinyiwei were all highly skilled in martial arts, they could not gain an advantage in the face of the armored soldiers.
The raindrops dripping on the ground gradually gathered into a stream, and silently, they were dyed red by the hot blood. In this era, it seems that the blood of the lowest level is completely for the superstructure. Their lives and dignity have become insignificant between the orders of the powerful and the superiors.
The people in front fell, and the people behind followed one after another.
Although this was not a war, it was still a life-and-death struggle. It was always like this where there was a fight.
"Go!"
"Go!"
On the street, a group of people and horses were running wildly in the rainy night. The general in the lead rode a tall horse and waved his whip again and again.
"Stop!"
At some point, a man like an iron tower blocked the soldiers in front of him, holding up a golden token in his hand!
