"Tell me yourselves, all of you," Murong Xingchen drew her sword. "How did Jiang Tian know that Wolf Tail was going to attack him?"
"My lord, our Wolf Guards are always elusive, appearing and disappearing without a trace. Every assassination mission we carry out is extremely thorough, leaving no clue whatsoever," Murong Qing said.
"Then tell me, how did this get leaked?"
"Sir, there's no need to ask about this. There must be a traitor among us, otherwise no one would know what we've done."
Murong Xingchen gripped a knife in one hand, pointing it at the crowd: "I don't care who among you is a traitor, I'll make this clear from the start: betraying the Commander means death."
"At that time, each of us will stab you ten times."
Upon hearing Murong Xingchen's words, everyone exchanged bewildered glances.
None of them are traitors.
However, everyone present believed that there must be a traitor among them.
Who exactly is this traitor?
Everyone is worthy of their suspicion.
...
The waiter quietly went downstairs.
Lu Jianxing came closer.
The waiter quickly picked up the oil lamp, shielding the light from its glow with one hand, and led Lu Jianxing and several other imperial guards towards the backyard.
"Lord Commander, those people living in the house on the third floor should be the Wolf Guards."
"Tell me about it." Lu Jianxing crossed his arms and stroked his chin with one hand.
“I’ve seen their outfits before they left and when they came back. Not only were their outfits different, but they were also different people.”
The different attire is understandable.
What does it mean that this person is different?
"Explain in more detail."
"The person who entered the room is different from the person who opened the door and drove me away. Lord Chiju, I have no other special skills, but I have had a photographic memory since I was a child."
I remember exactly what those dozen or so people who went into the room on the third floor looked like.
But the person who opened the door and chased me away wasn't anyone in the room.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" a member of the Imperial Guard asked.
"Absolutely impossible."
"Could it be that someone stayed in the room the whole time and didn't participate in the assassination attempt on our lord?"
The waiter shook his head again: "When these people left this morning, I quietly sneaked into their room."
Their room was empty.
"How can your mysterious talk be of any help to our operation?"
"I suspect they'll disguise themselves."
"Regardless of whether they can disguise themselves or not, just kill them." Lu Jianxing was very decisive.
"Operate at midnight; capture those you can, and kill those you cannot capture."
"promise……"
Time passed second by second.
The sound of the night watchman's gong echoed through the streets.
It was late at night.
There was no sound coming from the room on the third floor.
Lu Jianxing snapped his fingers.
Several Imperial Guards, accompanied by the gentle breeze, quietly crept up.
Lu Jianxing and his men held hidden arrows in their hands, while several Imperial Guards stood at a distance with muskets.
If things go wrong.
They will inevitably fire first.
Fu Dahai walked to the window, moistened his finger with saliva, and gently poked the window paper.
The truth was revealed in an instant.
A gentle, melancholic breeze drifted in.
Another hour and a quarter of an hour passed.
Lu Jianxing gave the others a wink.
Fu Da drew his sharp knife and gently pried open the window.
One by one, everyone jumped in.
These Imperial Guards landed silently, as light as swallows.
When they entered the room, they found that all the wolf guards had fainted on the bed.
The crowd swarmed forward and quickly tied them all up.
Even though these guys were tied up, they didn't come to their senses.
...
The Imperial Prison of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
These dozens of people were all tied up.
"Alright, they've slept long enough. Let them all wake up." With Lu Jianxing's order.
Buckets of cold water were poured over them.
The wolf guards instantly regained their senses.
They glanced at each other.
"Who are you people? Release us right now!"
"We haven't done anything, what are you trying to do?"
"Xianbei wolf guards?" Lu Jianxing ripped off Murong Xingchen's clothes from his chest.
Suddenly, a red wolf head tattoo appeared in front of everyone.
"You bastards have some nerve, daring to harm our lord."
As soon as Lu Jianxing finished speaking, a shout came from the doorway: "Lord Jiang has arrived."
Lu Jianxing quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"Your humble servant respectfully welcomes Your Majesty." The dozens of Imperial Guards immediately knelt on one knee.
Jiang Tian didn't say anything.
Just then, the sound of arrows whistling through the air rang out.
A dense hail of arrows rained down on Lu Jianxing and his companions.
These people couldn't dodge in time.
Some people were shot down on the spot.
Lu Jianxing immediately realized that this person was not Jiang Tian at all.
Jiang Tian would never use such despicable means to kill them.
“These people are using disguise techniques; he is not our lord.”
"Let's fight them."
"kill……"
Some of these Imperial Guards were hit by several arrows, but they still stood up regardless and charged at the enemy, brandishing their Embroidered Spring Blades.
But all the arrows the enemy fired were deadly.
Another group of Imperial Guards fell.
Lu Jianxing had a bad feeling.
He has no choice but to stay here, except to die.
