Chapter 227 Night Attack
Chapter 227 Night Attack

As soon as Song Zhenshan arrived, Ye Xuan felt relieved.

Don't be fooled by his leisurely life these days. Every day he is either hiding in the room discussing knowledge with Qian'er, or taking Qian'er and Wang Feihu to travel around Chengzhou Prefecture and its surrounding areas.

In fact, Ye Xuan has always been worried, for he was afraid that Fei Ju would take some drastic action after discovering that Lu Zhongheng was missing.

As expected, Lu Zhongheng's disappearance immediately aroused Fei Ju's suspicion.

In the past few days, Ye Xuan has been interrogated several times by the government office and Chenzhou guards in Chenzhou Prefecture. However, Fei Ju obviously has not thought that Lu Zhongheng's disappearance was caused by the Jinyiwei.

So no drastic action has been taken, but this also makes Ye Xuan very worried.

After all, there were only a dozen Jinyiwei around him, but now there are more than a hundred of them. Even if there is a conflict with Fei Ju, they already have a certain ability to protect themselves.

Late at night, outside Chenzhou Prefecture.

"Zhenshan, this time you will escort Lu Zhongheng back to Yingtian Prefecture first. You must be careful to hide your tracks along the way and not let anyone see any clues, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted!"

Ye Xuan looked at Song Zhenshan, who had just arrived in Chengzhou Prefecture after traveling thousands of miles, and spoke earnestly.

Although Song Zhenshan looked exhausted, he still promised solemnly: "Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely do my job well!"

Ye Xuan nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Be careful on the road and don't waste time."

After watching Song Zhenshan's back disappear into the darkness, Ye Xuan turned around and waved to the more than one hundred Jinyiwei behind him, saying, "Let's go, target Pingliang Marquis Mansion!"

"Your Excellency, I have already investigated clearly. Although Pingliang Marquis Fei Ju is a general, all his troops are stationed in the camp outside the city. On weekdays, there are less than a hundred guards in the marquis' mansion!"

Not far from the Pingliang Marquis Mansion, a Jinyiwei reported to Ye Xuan who had just arrived with a large number of troops.

Ye Xuan nodded, turned around and started giving orders.

"Wang Feihu, you will lead your men to attack the Pingliang Marquis' Mansion and attract the attention of Qian'er and me. Qian'er, you and I will sneak into the Pingliang Marquis' Mansion and capture the thief leader!"

Qian'er nodded without hesitation, not worrying at all about the danger she might encounter.

However, Wang Feihu was a little hesitant and asked, "Sir, why don't we just take out our badges and arrest Fei Ju openly? The other side has more than a hundred elite guards. Although we are not afraid, if we attack by force, there will probably be a lot of casualties!"

Ye Xuan's face was solemn as he explained, "Since Fei Ju dared to secretly train troops for rebellion, his subordinates must be loyal to him to a certain extent, not to mention the elite guards around him. I'm afraid that even if we take out the imperial edict, it will be useless!"

"On the contrary, it will alert the enemy and allow Fei Ju to use these guards to hold us back, and then mobilize troops from the camp outside the city to wipe us out, thereby prompting the other party to launch a mutiny in advance!"

At this point, Ye Xuan paused and said, "Of course, on the surface, even these guards are still the army of our Ming Dynasty. It would be best if they don't lose their lives. But if they refuse to show their respect, brothers, feel free to kill them. If the emperor blames me, I will bear the responsibility!"

Everyone suddenly understood what was going on after hearing this, and they all clasped their fists and accepted the order!
With Ye Xuan's wave of his hand, Wang Feihu immediately led the Jinyiwei to rush towards the gate of Pingliang Marquis Mansion.

At this time, there were two guards standing guard in front of the gate on each side. When they saw a large group of people holding swords and knives rushing towards them, one of them immediately returned to the marquis' mansion to report the news.

Wang Feihu shouted, "All the Jinyiwei officers are not allowed to move!"

The faces of the four guards changed drastically, but just as Ye Xuan said, when these guards heard the name of Jinyiwei, instead of surrendering, they exchanged glances with each other, and the guard who wanted to report the news moved faster.

As for the other three people, they raised their spears and aimed them at Wang Feihu and others who were rushing over.

Wang Feihu spat, drew the embroidered spring sword from his waist, turned around and shouted to the Jinyiwei behind him: "Brothers, since these soldiers are stubborn, let's not be polite, kill them!"

"Kill!" The Jinyiwei drew their swords one after another and rushed towards the Pingliang Marquis' Mansion while shouting!
Apart from a guard who came to report the news, there were only three people left in front of the gate. There were more than a hundred well-trained Jinyiwei in the team, so they were no match for them.

In just a moment, blood splattered and accompanied by a few wails, the three guards were hacked to death.

But by the time Wang Feihu jumped over and tried to stop the guard who brought the news, it was too late.

The door of the Marquis' Mansion slammed shut, almost flattening Wang Feihu's nose.

"Damn it!" Wang Feihu cursed loudly and waved his hand to order the Jinyiwei to enter through the wall instead.

Everyone called out and followed orders.

After a while, a large number of Jinyiwei jumped into the mansion.

As soon as they jumped in, sporadic torches came towards the crowd!

This was followed by loud shouts from the guards.

Wang Feihu took a deep breath and shouted, "The Jinyiwei are investigating the case according to the order of the emperor. Anyone who dares to stand in our way will be killed without mercy!"

The guards' howling became quieter, but it started again after a while.

"Damn it, the adults were right. These soldiers really don't care about their lives!"

Wang Feihu spat, waved his hand vigorously and shouted: "Brothers, kill them all!"

For a moment, the mansion was filled with the flashing of swords and shouting!
A wing room in the Pingliang Marquis Mansion.

A candlelight suddenly lit up in the dark room, and a strong man tilted his ear to listen carefully to the movement outside the room.

On the couch behind him, a seductive woman with her upper body naked said coquettishly, "My Lord, why are you up so late at night?"

Fei Ju was listening attentively when he was suddenly interrupted by the woman, who turned around and slapped him on the delicate cheek of the charming woman.

The woman’s neck was nearly broken. She could only cover her face and sob, not daring to speak.

At this time, someone shouted outside the door.

"My Lord, there are Jinyiwei!"

However, before he could finish his words, there was a sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air, a scream was heard from the electronics room, and then there was no sound.

When Fei Ju heard this, his face suddenly changed and he pulled out the big knife hanging on the head of the bed.

But at this moment, the door was kicked open with a bang.

A man and a woman appeared outside the door, both holding swords and looking at him coldly.

Fei Ju recognized the Jinyiwei uniform on Ye Xuan at a glance, and his heart skipped a beat, but he still said firmly: "Where did this thief come from? How dare you break into my mansion at night!"

Seeing Fei Ju still pretending, Ye Xuan sneered, "Marquis Pingliang, don't you recognize the official robes I'm wearing?"

Fei Ju also sneered: "Who knows whether you are true or false."
