The Prodigal Son

No sooner had Qin Yu finished speaking than Gui San emerged from a hidden corner, as if by magic.

"What is it?"

Gui San was still the same as before, completely covered up.

"You probably already know the situation, so I won't go into details!"

A sly smile appeared on Qin Yu's face. "Mo Wu's provocation is nothing more than an attempt to find an opportunity to rescue the Shi family!"

"I suspect the reason you didn't spot the people stalking around here before is probably because we haven't made any major moves!"

"But now, our chance has come!"

"I will feign anger at Mo Wu, and then, at dusk, send out most of the people from the prefectural governor's mansion!"

"Your mission is to patrol the area around the prefectural governor's residence and find anyone who might be hiding nearby!"

"If you spot them, use your skills in concealing yourselves to track them and find their hideout!"

"Once found, do not act rashly; return immediately to report!"

Without giving Gui San a chance to refuse, Qin Yu turned to Zeng Guan and instructed, "You all increase the search efforts, act as if you've been provoked, but the main focus should still be on protecting the key locations in the city!"

Mo Wu isn't going to play along to the end, is he?

I'll fight you to the bitter end!

Even if my judgment is wrong, the Wudang Flying Army should arrive in another day.

At that time, with strong and well-equipped men at my disposal, it will only take a little more time to search thoroughly using the most rudimentary methods!

Even suicide squad members need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves, right?

With enough manpower, by checking one by one, we will definitely be able to find some clues!

He simply couldn't believe that these assassins could walk through walls and burrow underground!

"good!"

Gui San didn't say much to Qin Yu and readily agreed.

When they were hiding in the shadows, they could hear everything clearly.

They also knew that if they didn't completely eliminate these assassins from the Shi family, these unscrupulous assassins would continue their retaliation without end.

If you want peace and quiet, there are only four words!

Behead to kill!

The daytime passed quickly.

At dusk, Guo Yang's men poured out of the prefectural governor's mansion.

This time, Qin Yu sent out all the people he could, leaving only Guo Yang and his hundred men to guard the prefectural governor's mansion.

If those two can't find the hideout of those assassins, he'd like to see if Mo Wu has the guts to come and kidnap them!

Qin Yu's judgment was correct.

Mo Wu did indeed arrange for people to lie in wait far from the prefectural governor's residence.

However, Mo Wu wasn't stupid.

He knew that Qin Yu had a skilled bodyguard around him, and getting too close would definitely get him noticed.

Therefore, the people he arranged simply kept watch from a distance, keeping a close eye on the actions of the prefectural governor's mansion.

When they saw a large number of people rushing out of the prefect's mansion, the two people who were observing from a distance immediately had a sharp look in their eyes.

The two continued to observe in the shadows for a while until all the people had left. Then one of them instructed the other, "I'll stay here and keep watch. You immediately spread the word that Qin Yu has sent out most of the prefectural governor's forces!"

"Um."

The other person nodded and immediately left quietly.

However, as soon as he quietly left the house, two pairs of eyes in the distance locked onto him.

"I'll go check it out, you keep an eye on things!"

Gui San gave Gui Si a heads-up and immediately followed silently.

His intuition told him that this person was likely the one lurking in the shadows.

After all, it's already dusk!

With chaos erupting in the city, people should normally rush back inside and close their doors.

But this person chose to go out at this time.

Moreover, he chose to leave right after Qin Yu had sent his men out.

It's hard not to be suspicious of someone like that!

Gui San was very fast and caught up with the person from before without making a sound.

After following for only a hundred feet, Gui San was certain that this person was the one secretly keeping watch.

Just as Qin Yu predicted!

Mo Wu's actions can be considered a case of being too clever for his own good!

very good!

I'm not afraid of these rats showing themselves, I'm afraid of them hiding and not moving!

Gui San followed silently behind that person.

Even though the person was very vigilant, he did not notice the presence of Gui San at all.

It's normal that he can't notice!

As a member of the Ghost Guard, strength is actually secondary.

The most important skill of the Ghost Guard is to conceal their presence and form!

They can see the enemy, but the enemy cannot see them!

They remain hidden, protecting the emperor's safety in secret!

If he finds out, Gui San might as well just slit his own throat!

Gui San followed the man all the way and finally arrived at an ordinary courtyard in the west of the city.

The man first knocked lightly twice on the door, then knocked heavily three times.

The door opened quickly, the person entered the room, and then the door closed just as fast...

……

In the temple, Mo Wu received news from the city.

"trap!"

Lou Renchong, who was standing next to Mo Wu, quickly made a judgment: "Fifth Master, this is very likely a trap set by Qin Yu for us!"

The lives of the people in the city were not that important to Qin Yu.

Even if all the people of Yunhuai die, as long as they escort all the Shi family members to the capital, Qin Yu will have accomplished a great feat!

Even if Qin Yu saves all the people in the city, if even one member of the Shi family is rescued, his merit will turn into a crime!

Under these circumstances, Qin Yu would probably not send everyone out, but only leave a small number of people in the prefectural governor's mansion to guard the Shi family members.

"I know!"

Mo Wu lowered his head. "But this might be our last chance! I received news this afternoon that a large cavalry force is marching from Shangzhou and should arrive in Yunhuai by tomorrow! Once that cavalry arrives, we'll have even less of a chance to rescue them!"

Hearing Mo Wu's words, Lou Renchong opened his mouth slightly, but hesitated to speak.

Yes!

Qin Yu currently has relatively few troops at his disposal.

Once that large cavalry force arrives in Yunhuai, Qin Yu will inevitably launch a thorough search of Yunhuai.

At that time, all their secret passages may be exposed.

There would be no chance of sneaking into the city through the secret passage to rescue people!

If they want to find another opportunity, they'll probably have to take action during the transport.

However, it is obvious that the imperial court will send experts and heavy troops to escort the Shi family.

Even if they wanted to rescue someone during the transfer, it would be an impossible task!

"Let's do it tonight!"

Mo Wu made a decisive decision: "Tonight, we will create chaos in the city again, feign an attack on the prefectural governor's mansion, and concentrate our forces to rescue the three young masters on the city walls! Even if we are completely wiped out, it will be worth it as long as we can rescue even one young master!"

It's really unrealistic to try to storm the prefect's mansion to rescue people.

The chances of rescuing the three young masters who are still being tortured on the city wall are actually better!

They were already suicide squads, and now it was time for them to fight to the death!

It's done; it preserves a spark for historians.

They were defeated, and they all perished with the Shi family!

As suicide squad members, this was their destiny!

"good!"

Lou Renchong nodded emphatically.

Mo Wu quickly reviewed the plan in his mind again and immediately ordered: "Send someone to deliver the order immediately, instructing the Butcher to lead his men into the city through the secret passage at the North Gate before 3 AM. At 3 AM, immediately send ten men to create chaos in various locations in the west of the city, and lead the rest of his men in a feigned attack on the Prefectural Governor's Mansion!"

"The rest of you, gather near the secret passage at the East Gate!"
