Both brothers and sisters nodded, and Wu Qing said: "Dad, it's too late, isn't it too urgent to leave overnight, your body is not all right, can you stand such continuous bumps?" I think we still have a night's rest in Xingyuan Mansion and let's leave tomorrow. ”

Wu Kuang also said: "Yes, Dad, I think no matter how good the second brother is, it won't hurt us." ”

Wu Gong shook his head and said, "No, since that beast has decided to do such a rebellious thing, it can be seen that he is mad with the scriptures." There was nothing else he dared to do. I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, the night is long and I have many dreams. You two also go and collect it, and after dinner, we will leave Xingyuan Mansion overnight. ”

Wu Kuang and Wu Qing saw their father say this, so they didn't want to say anything, so they went down to inform the guards and prepared to leave.

Wait until Wu Gong and his party pack up and start to set off, so that they can enter the change. At this time, there were hardly any pedestrians on the street, but as soon as the gate opened, a group of guards came out, arranged in formation, and walked up the long street, and went straight to the city gate.

Wu Gong's guard had a total of 240 men, including 40 cavalrymen. The whole army was divided into three arrays, with twenty-four cavalrymen at the head, divided into four columns, followed by twenty infantry with spears and twenty archers, forming the first array. The second array was divided into two long columns by the remaining sixteen cavalrymen, and Wu Gong's father and son were protected in it. On the outside of the two columns of cavalry, each was protected by forty rattan soldiers. Can block attacks from both sides. The third array consisted of forty pikemen, twenty rattans, and twenty archers. And except for the four lanterns at the head and tail for lighting, the middle part of the procession is submerged in the dark □, which is not really visible.

Each array was about twenty paces apart, making it longer for the whole team to be completely surrounded, even in the event of an ambush, unless the enemy was ten times as strong as them. And they can support each other immediately. Although it is a small guard, it is also in a strict formation, which shows that Wu Gong is a general who is proficient in the art of war, and the training of the guards on weekdays is very well-trained.

In fact, although Wu Gong said that to Wu Kuang and Wu Qing's brothers and sisters, he didn't believe that Wu Xi was really mad to this point, and the garrison and generals of Xingyuan Mansion almost knew Wu Gong, even if Wu Xi gave an order, they would not dare to assassinate themselves. Leaving Xingyuan Mansion overnight was just in case. And letting the guards set up a good formation is just a habit of leading the army for many years, and it is not deliberately aimed at Wu Xi.

The sky is thick and cloudy, and there is no starlight and moonlight. The sound of hooves and footsteps shattered the silence of the night. The group walked more than two miles, saw the lights flashing in front of them, and there were more than one mile to reach the city gate.

At this moment, the change was immediate, only to hear the sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" endlessly, and dozens of hidden weapons flew out from the left and right roofs of the entire guard, shooting directly like the guards.

The lantern fell to the ground and a shout rang out. Caught off guard, more than a dozen guards fell to the ground with hidden weapons. The neighing of the horses, the angry shouts of the people, the confusion of the situation. But the guards were so well trained that they immediately calmed down, and the rattan players raised their rattan cards to protect themselves and their companions, and the archers bent their bows and arrows to look for the enemy on the roof. Everyone else is also holding their weapons tightly, ready to fight.

It was the head and tail of the guards who were ambushed, and the guards in the middle section of the array had not yet been attacked. However, the soldiers in the middle array did not dare to be careless, and they were all ready to fight, and even Wu Kuang and Wu Qingyi drew their swords.

Suddenly, only a few sounds of "Peng, Peng" were heard, and more than a dozen fireworks were still falling from the roofs on both sides, and for a time the sparks were dazzling, and the firecrackers roared, which suddenly illuminated the scene clearly, and also made the war horses jump in surprise, and the whole array began to be chaotic at once. And the guards saw the light at first glance in the darkness, and they all instinctively saw nothing in front of them, and for a moment they could not see anything.

At this moment, two figures suddenly flew down from the rooftops on the left and right, one in front of the other and one in front of the other.

At this time, Wu Kuang and Wu Qing's brother and sister's eyesight had just recovered a little, and they vaguely saw someone rushing towards their old father, and they were all frightened. Nazi drew his saber and stabbed the figure in the air as quickly as possible.

I saw two figures flickering in the air, as if they had the power to borrow, dodging the blades that the two of them quickly stabbed, and then their bodies swung again, and when the flint flashed, they staggered past both sides of Wu Gong.

Wu Kuang and Wu Qing, brother and sister, fully recovered their eyesight at this time, and with the light of the fireworks about to be extinguished, they saw clearly that there was a long rope across the sky above the team, and there was one person on each side of the roof, holding one end of the long rope. There are still more than ten figures. I saw that the two figures took advantage of this long rope, one turned over and jumped back to the roof, turned around and rolled down the roof, and disappeared into the darkness.

I saw Wu arch his mouth, spurt out a mouthful of blood, and fell down from the horse. Wu Kuang and Wu Qing were shocked and hurriedly rushed to their father. At this time, the fireworks were completely extinguished, and the whole long street was plunged into darkness again.

It was the third watch, and the inner hall of the Imperial Garrison Division of Xingyuan Mansion was still brightly lit.

Wu Xi was sitting opposite a red-clothed monk playing chess in front of the lamp.

The red-clothed monk was white, so leisurely and contented, and he was like flying, but Wu Xi seemed to be preoccupied and was always undecided. I saw that the black chess pieces on the board were sparse, and it was all white.

At this time, a servant came in from outside, came to the two of them, and said, "Lord Dutong, they are back." ”

"Oh!" Wu Xi hurriedly put down the chess pieces in his hand and said, "Quick, call them in." ”

After a while, the man brought two people, one of whom was also a monk, dressed in yellow. The other is a golden hoop on his head, a tie in a robe, and a walker. After coming in, he first saluted the red-clothed monk and said, "Master, the disciple is back." ”

Wu Xi hurriedly waved his hand to the servant and asked him to step back. After retiring from the people, Wu Xi asked, "How is it, how are things?" His voice trembled.

The yellow-clothed monk saluted Wu Xi again and said, "Lord Dutong, please relax, you can do it all." ”

Wu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, as if relieved, and said secretly in his heart: Uncle, don't blame me for being ruthless, all this was forced by you, you left Xingyuan Mansion overnight, you must have sent a letter to Wang Yan, if you don't miss the love of your uncle and nephew, then you can't blame me. Then he turned his head and clasped his fist at the red-clothed monk and saluted: "This time, I really want to thank the national teacher for his help." ”

The red-clothed monk smiled slightly, clasped his palms together, returned the salute, and said, "Wu Dutong, this is a trivial matter, you are welcome, you and I will cooperate for a long time in the future?" We Daikin still have a lot of things to rely on! ”
