Chapter 718
"Captain Zhao."
Captain Zhao was about to take a rest when suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door outside the house.
He was a little confused.
Mrs. Zhao, who was lying on the bed, heard the sound outside and was a little confused. She said, "Is the person outside a little anxious? It will be troublesome if they knock on our door. Go and have a look."
"I know."
Captain Zhao was a little depressed.
He got up, put on his clothes, and went outside.
"I'm here, stop knocking."
At the same time, he felt sorry for his door. If he knocked on it again, it would almost fall apart.
"Captain Zhao, something happened."
Captain Zhao saw clearly that the person who came was actually a soldier. He couldn't help but wondered, "What happened?"
"Quick, go to Xiangmanlou."
"Eh? I haven't put on my armor yet."
"Hey, don't put it on, come with me."
"This..."
Captain Zhao looked at the soldier's expression with fear and uneasiness. He had a premonition that something big had happened.
Suddenly, he remembered that Li Taihang told him not to go out at night.
"Wait."
"What for?"
Captain Zhao quickly broke free, ran back and put on his armor, and also took his weapons.
Seeing this, the officer seemed to be anxious to death by Captain Zhao.
"Let's go."
Captain Zhao took a deep breath.
He and the officers and soldiers came to Xiangmanlou together, and when he saw the miserable situation inside, he was stunned.
"What is going on here?"
Immediately, an officer and soldier explained the situation here to him. When Captain Zhao heard it, he took a breath of cold air.
Fortunately, he listened to Li Taihang's advice and did not go out, otherwise, he would have died here tonight.
"Quick, seal off the scene, seal off the whole scene, and only allow entry but not exit unless required by the mission. In addition, send someone to notify the governor immediately."
"Yes."
Captain Zhao got busy.
Tonight, so many people suddenly died, and they were all important figures. The whole Guangming Prefecture might be in an uproar.
All this made Captain Zhao a little overwhelmed.
After Captain Zhao arranged all this, he ordered people to deal with all the bodies.
At the same time, he sent people to notify the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen everywhere to take their people away.
Although they were all dead bodies at this time.
"Captain Zhao, according to our investigation, the death of the prefect and others is related to these people."
"Can you find out their identities?"
"They seem to be in the same group as the original bandits."
"Why?"
"Because when the battle took place, someone shouted to avenge their brothers!"
"Well, let me see."
Then, Captain Zhao checked the bodies of these people and found that they were really in the same group as the previous bandits.
Because the bandit mark was found on their bodies.
And this mark is the same as the bandits they caught.
And what happened in Xiangmanlou, Guangming Prefecture, caused a huge sensation.
Especially the scandal that broke out, it swept the entire empire.
When the emperor learned about it, he was furious.
I'm afraid many people will lose their heads, and although Zhao Duwei had nothing to do with all this and also stated that he would not participate, he was also afraid of being implicated.
Fortunately, after all this happened, the higher-ups quickly sent people down.
And Zhao Duwei was appreciated and rewarded by the emperor because he did not go along with others. His official position was promoted to inspector, and he became the first military commander of Guangming Prefecture in one fell swoop, controlling the military power of the entire Guangming Prefecture.
A few days later, Zhao Duwei came to Liujia Village with a team of people.
He came here specifically to thank Li Taihang.
As a result, he came up empty-handed.
At this time, Li Taihang had already gone to the territory of Songzhou Prefecture with the representatives sent by the sect, preparing to handle the matter of upgrading the sect.
Longshan Town.
Third Elder Liu Jian saw that it was getting late, and found a town ahead, so he made arrangements.
"Let's rest here for one night and set off tomorrow."
"Okay, Third Elder."
Everyone flew on their swords and landed in Longshan Town.
It was late at night and there were few pedestrians on the street.
They came to the inn in the town and asked for a few rooms.
At night, everyone fell asleep.
But a group of people sneaked into the inn.
"The target is on the second floor. Their room number is here. After you look at it, assassinate according to the arranged target."
"Yes, sir."
The men in black quickly entered the inn.
The people in the inn had been bribed long ago, and they also leaked the residence of Li Taihang and others.
When they came to the second floor, the entire corridor on the second floor was very quiet.
They walked quietly to avoid being discovered.Outside the inn, there were also men in black lying in ambush, waiting for the situation to go wrong, and then they would immediately go to support.
It can be said that this time, in order to deal with the people of Xuanwu Sect, they really sent out all their elite troops.
"They are coming." After sensing the situation outside, the third elder Liu Jian reminded in a low voice.
In his room, there were other disciples, including Li Taihang.
Li Taihang told the third elder about the problems that might arise tonight.
The third elder also knew Li Taihang's ability, so he discussed with Li Taihang.
Simply use the trick against the trick and kill all the people who were going to sneak attack them this time.
At this time, everyone in the room gathered together.
There were seven of them, including the third elder Liu Jian, the saint Li Taihang, and five other inner door elite disciples.
On the surface, they all returned to their respective rooms to rest, but in fact, they all gathered in the third elder's room.
"Elder, shall we start the action?" asked a disciple.
"No hurry, the appetizers haven't been served yet."
"Okay."
The disciples didn't say anything more.
Instead, they listened to the noise outside with Liu Jian and Li Taihang.
At this time, the men in black sneaked into the room and were about to attack their opponents.
They had already agreed on a time, and they would start immediately after finding their targets.
But after they entered, they found that their targets seemed to be sleeping.
"Great, they dared to sleep at this time."
"It shows that they are not prepared at all."
"Hehe, they deserve to die."
The men in black quickly stepped forward and prepared to kill the people sleeping in the bed.
However, when they started, they were surprised to find that there was no one on the bed they rushed to.
"It's fake."
"No, we fell into a trap."
But they only realized now that it was too late.
"Run!"
The same happened in other rooms, and they all found that their targets had disappeared.
"Retreat."
However, just as they were about to retreat, these rooms had already been tampered with by Li Taihang and others.
"Boom."
"Ah!"
The people who rushed in were hit one by one and fell to the ground.
