Tian Liu clenched his hands tightly, his eyes turned red with anger. He was determined to make these people pay for Lao San's life.
“Hundreds of people!?”
When Tianhong heard this number, his heart skipped a beat.
How could it be such a coincidence? Emperor Tianwu sent hundreds of palace guards to hunt down Chen Yong last night.
He was secretly protecting Emperor Tianwu at the time and heard the general idea.
What he thought at the time was that Tian San and Tian Liu knew Jiang Weida, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, and the two sides would not fight.
It just so happened that I heard that Shen's gang members appeared one after another, and they were all very skilled.
It should be easy for the imperial guards and two secret guards to capture the Shen family and their followers.
How did this cause him to lose a great general?
Tian Liu gritted his teeth and nodded angrily.
"Yes, I took a quick look and there were at least four or five hundred people."
"The Shen family is really secretive----"
"Don't show anything!" Tianhong was so angry when he heard that there were four or five hundred people that he almost killed Tianliu with a palm.
Tianliu looked at Tianhong in confusion, not understanding why the leader suddenly got angry at him.
Shouldn't we send more people to kill those masked men at this time?
"Master Chief-----"
Tian Liu moved his lips and called out softly.
Tianhong took a deep breath and looked at Tianliu with anger in his eyes.
"You've been in the palace for so long, and you didn't even recognize Jiang Weida, the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards!?"
How could such a coincidence happen in the world? Emperor Tianwu just sent Jiang Weida with 500 imperial guards to hunt down the Shen family.
The Shen family's followers also dispatched hundreds of people to protect the Shen family.
Besides, Tian San and Tian Liu have never taken action against the Shen family. On the surface, they are still protecting the Shen family. The Shen family's followers are not so well-connected that they can recognize that the two of them are the emperor's secret guards.
Therefore, if those hundreds of people were followers of the Shen family, they would not take action against Tian Santianliu. At most, they would be on guard.
However, if those people were Jiang Weida's men, and Jiang Weida misunderstood that Tian Santianliu were from the Shen family, he would attack them.
However, even if Jiang Weida didn't know Tiansan Tianliu, these two people should be able to recognize Jiang Weida.
How could the fight result in one death and one injury?
Tianliu stared at Tianhong with his eyes wide open, his eyes fixed in shock.
During the fight at the post station, they were so focused on escaping that they didn't pay any attention to who the other party was.
The most important thing was that the group of people were wearing masks, and his first reaction was that the three masked men from the day before yesterday brought reinforcements.
How could they think of the palace guards?
The emperor has already sent the two of them out, so why would he go to the trouble of arranging for the palace guards to chase and kill them?
Now that he thought about it carefully, the figures of those masked men flashed before his eyes, and it seemed that many of them looked familiar.
The muscles at the corners of Tian Liu's mouth kept twitching, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a word.
"They were all wearing masks at the time."
After a pause, Tianliu looked at Tianhong's disappointed eyes, and a chill instantly rose from his back.
He took a deep breath and explained quickly,
"It was Jiang Weida who attacked us first."
"He was masked at the time, and when he saw us he came straight up to chase us without saying a word. Jiang Weida also lowered his voice, so..."
This bastard, why did he go after the Shen family and attack them?
Both of their secret guards were not wearing masks. Why would this group of palace guards wear masks when they were on duty under the emperor's orders?
Damn it, the third brother’s sacrifice was in vain.
A fierce look flashed across Tianhong's eyes, and he glared at Tianliu fiercely.
Emperor Tianwu's secret guards and the palace guards fought, resulting in both sides suffering losses.
How could he report this to the emperor?
With Tian San's ability, if he fights to the death, there will be a lot of casualties among the palace guards.
Those palace guards all came from distinguished families, so they would make a fuss if they knew the truth.
Tianhong frowned and sighed deeply.
"Go back and recuperate first."
"Remember, keep it quiet and don't tell anyone about what happened today."
Tianhong looked at Tianliu with warning eyes.
He had to think carefully about how to report this matter to Emperor Tianwu without implicating the secret guards.
Actually, this matter was caused by the order of Emperor Tianwu, who ordered the secret guards to escort the Shen family through Danyun City and then kill them, hoping to lure out more of the Shen family's followers.
At the same time, he ordered the imperial guards to hunt down the Shen family directly.
The missions of both sides conflict, it would be strange if they didn't fight.
Now, while they were fighting fiercely among themselves, it was an advantage for the Shen family and their followers.
Tian Liu lowered his eyelids, hiding the reluctance in his eyes, and nodded slightly, "Yes!"
How could he be willing to accept that the third brother died in vain?
Jiang Weida!
He must take his dog's life to commemorate the third brother...
(Jiang Weida: Come on, drag me over and whip my corpse. I’m already dead anyway…)
.........
"Your Majesty, the two secret guards assigned to monitor the Shen family, Tian Liu has returned, and Tian San is dead!"
Tianhong knelt on one knee in front of Emperor Tianwu and spoke in a calm tone.
Emperor Tianwu was slightly startled, his brows furrowed instantly.
"The Shen family's private soldiers are so powerful!?"
He underestimated the Shen family. Fortunately, he got rid of the Shen family early, leaving only the useless Shen Yong.
Otherwise, if the six sons of the Shen family were alive, coupled with such powerful private soldiers, wouldn't it be----
"Have you found out how many private soldiers the Shen family has?"
Tianhong lowered his eyelids, his eyes flickered slightly.
"Tian Liu said they were being chased and intercepted by hundreds of people. It is estimated that the Shen family's private soldiers number at least nearly a thousand."
"Nearly a thousand people!?" Emperor Tianwu stood up in shock. "The Shen family really has been harboring rebellious intentions for a long time."
How could such a large number of private soldiers be trained overnight?
No wonder he often couldn't sleep at night since he ascended the throne, always thinking about getting rid of the Shen family.
It turns out that everything had been foreshadowed, and this was the ancestors giving him a hint.
It seems that the "heavenly punishment" was indeed caused by the drought, not because of the Shen family.
As for the drought, he could only choose a day to issue a self-blame edict and pray for God to send down rain.
As for the remnants of the Shen family, he must get rid of them completely.
Seeing that Emperor Tianwu did not ask about the palace guards, Tianhong thought for a moment and said,
"Tian San and Tian Liu encountered Jiang Weida and his group at the post station."
"They worked together with the Imperial Guards to resist the Shen family's private soldiers and their followers. However, they were too powerful. Tian San fought desperately to open a gap, allowing Tian Liu to escape back—"
When Emperor Tianwu heard that the secret guards and the palace guards were unable to defeat the Shen family's private soldiers together, his eyes were instantly filled with coldness.
None of Jiang Weida's men have come back to report yet. Maybe they have already-----
When Emperor Tianwu thought of the loss of so many imperial guards, his anger instantly soared.
"Arrange the thirty secret guards behind Tian Shi to hunt down the Shen family, their followers, and their private soldiers with all their might. Leave no one alive!"
