The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 220
In Jiangyi City at night, the streets under the moonlight were pitch black, and the faint chirping of insects and birds added a touch of fear to the pitch-black night.

This is a rather luxurious mansion, and the owner of the mansion must be of extraordinary status. There are some faint human voices in the mansion, which are the sounds made by the night guards in the mansion walking in the corridor.

"Crack-"

The slight sound was extremely clear in the silent night.

"Who!"

Two night watch guards in blue and short brown were vigilant. When they heard the sound, they quickly pulled out their waist knives, and then looked at the place where the sound came from.

The two followed the sound and found that the sound was coming from the outside of the high wall, not in the courtyard.

The walls are high and the courtyard is deep, and beyond the high walls is not a place under their jurisdiction.

The two night guards looked at each other.

One of the taller night guards said: "It may be a passing thieves. There are Yellow Turban patrols on the street late at night. It is not our business to care about the affairs outside the wall."

Another slightly shorter night watch guard nodded and said: "Then I will tell the night watch brothers to be more careful, and it will be bad for these thieves to disturb the master."

After the two discussed, they held the lantern, turned around and wanted to go back to the corridor.

But at this moment, a slight string sound suddenly sounded in the dark night, and four cold lights appeared out of thin air in the place where the lantern was shining.

The four feathered arrows sank into the back of the head and throat of the two night watch guards with lightning speed.

The two night guards didn't even utter a cry for help, they fell straight on the soft grass, and the lanterns they held in their hands rolled to the side.

The candle flames rolled in the falling lantern, and when the lantern was lit, it also illuminated the top of the high wall behind the two night guards.

On top of the high wall that was originally empty, at some point, four Eagle Wolf Wei Tiqi, dressed in black (black) wolf suits and holding crossbows, appeared.

"Go down quickly."

Outside the high wall, whispers came.

The four wall ladders were immediately put down by the four Black Wolf Guards, they were put on the high wall, and then quickly turned down the high wall.

Messy footsteps and whispers came from outside the high wall, and more eagle wolf Wei Ti in black wolf uniform rode down the wall ladder and turned into the courtyard.

In a short while, more than thirty Eagle Wolf Wei Tiqi wearing black and blue robes stood in the entire corridor.

Zhao Ji was the last one to step down the wall ladder wearing the white wolf uniform, and the eagle wolf guards in the wall were already ready to go.

"Tap-"

Footsteps suddenly appeared around the corner of the corridor.

The Black Wolf Guard leaning against the corridor quietly took off the crossbow at his waist.

"Monitor the world..."

A muffled shout came from around the corner. .

Leaning against the side of the corridor, Deng Xu, who was holding the Yanling Saber, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the voice, and whispered to Zhao Ji: "It's the voice of Yin Qilang, our detective."

Deng Xu raised his hand to stop the movements of the group of Xuanlang guards, walked out of the corner with the Yanling saber in his hand, and replied in a low voice: "To inspect Shenzhou."

In front of Deng Xu, the man in cyan and short brown was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Yinglangwei Jiangyi is here to investigate, and Yin Qi sees the banner officer."

Deng Xu made a booing gesture, signaling Lu An to come quickly.

Yin Qi obeyed, walked around the corner, and walked into the center of a group of eagle wolf guards.

As soon as he walked around the corner, Yin Qi found Zhao Ji on the grass outside the corridor, and was about to salute Zhao Ji immediately.

"I don't have so many etiquettes in Taipingdao."

Zhao Ji stepped forward and stopped Lu An's movements.

"How's the situation?"

Yin Qi nodded, and said: "Baihu don't need to be too eager, Lu An, the head of the Lu family, is still in the inner house, and the visitors from the south are also in the inner house."

Zhao Ji's eyes lighted up slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He patted Yin Qi's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, if the news is true, your reward will definitely be a lot. If you gain a lot of money, I will hand you over to my Eagle Wolf Guard." , is not impossible."

Yin Qi was overjoyed when he heard Zhao Ji's promise, and forcibly suppressed the activation and said, "Thank you Baihu!"

Zhao Ji didn't procrastinate, and immediately said: "Lead the way quickly, if something happens late and the information gets out of Jiangyi, it will be bad."

A sneer sneered at the corner of Yin Qi's mouth, and he said with a smile, "It's okay, I've already dealt with the follow-up night watchmen. As long as the noise is not loud enough to disturb the sleeping guards, no one will be able to spot us."

Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows slightly. When Yin Qi said this, he smelled a bloody smell on Yin Qi's body, and there was some dark red blood on Yin Qi's cuff.

The lights were dim just now, and all he was thinking about was the secret work in the courtyard and Lu's conspiracy, but he didn't pay much attention to Yin Qi.

After Yin Qi made a song to Zhao Ji, he walked back with a lantern in his hand, and at the same time said softly: "Comrades, please follow me."

Everyone walked lightly, holding the Yanling Saber on their waists to prevent the blades from colliding with each other, holding wooden sticks in their mouths to prevent accidental sounds, and followed Yin Qi to the depths of the house.

Zhao Ji stared at Yin Qi in front of him. He had a good impression of Yin Qi in his heart now. He acted resolutely and thoughtfully, and he was a qualified Tiqi.

This Yin Qi was originally a farmer in the countryside, but it was a pity that during the famine years, all kinds of exorbitant taxes were levied, which was beyond his means.

His mother died early, and Yin Qi's father fell ill at this time. He had no choice but to sell the land passed down from his ancestors. .

Until the end, Yin Qi's father still did not survive the famine, and Yin Qi became a house slave of the Lu family in Jiangyi in the end.

Originally, Zhao Ji just wanted to give Yin Qi a good reward, so he gave up on it, but what Yin Qi did this time made Zhao Ji want to accept him into the Eagle Wolf Guard.

Everyone buried their heads and walked for a while, but they did not encounter any guards who were watching the night again.

"Ahead is the inner house where Lu An lives." Yin Qi stopped and turned to Zhao Ji and the others in a low voice.

Zhao Ji looked slightly relaxed, the lights in the house in front of him were flickering, and two figures were left on the wall.

The only troublesome thing is that there are still seven or eight guards with sharp knives standing outside the house.

Zhao Ji tilted his head slightly, spread his arms, and pointed to the sides.

This is a code word written by Eagle Wolf Guard.

Tang Ji and Lin Zhong, who were standing behind Zhao Ji, both understood, and turned their heads to tell the Black Wolf Guard behind him to take out the crossbow in coded words.

The two lurked to the two sides with seven or eight crossbowmen respectively.

Zhao Ji turned his head to look at Deng Xu again, raised his right palm and placed it behind his head.

Deng Xu ordered seven or eight Black Wolf Guards, and quietly groped through the corridor to the back of Lu An's inner house, in order to intercept Lu An's possible escape route.

　The third watch is at ten o'clock.
