Chapter 1115

If Hongchan spilled all these words, the consequences could be imagined.

No!

Absolutely cannot let Hongchan be caught alive.

Otherwise, he would be finished.

"Ji Ling!"

"Ji Ling!"

Yuan Shu shouted twice toward the outside of the tent.

A moment later, Ji Ling, wearing armor and with a burly build, walked into the tent.

"You immediately gather a squad of troops to follow me into the city."

Yuan Shu said while walking toward the outside of the tent.

Ji Ling, who heard he had to enter the city, was stunned, then advised: "General, if we enter the city in broad daylight, if the Grand Tutor..."

"Grand Tutor my ass, go immediately and gather the troops to enter the city!"

"If we are late, neither you nor I will have any good fruit to eat!"

"Uh..."

Ji Ling scratched his head, thinking what it had to do with him.

It was you, General Yuan, who left the camp and returned to the city without authorization, not him.

Grumbling was grumbling, but Ji Ling went to do it immediately.

Before long, a cavalry squad of about thirty people galloped out of the Huben camp and headed straight for Luoyangcheng.

Luoyangcheng is very big, but it is also not big.

Because the largest part of the entire Luoyangcheng is the imperial palace.

The South Palace and the North Palace form the shape of the character "Lü", forming the North and South Palaces of Luoyangcheng.

Besides the North and South Palaces, the prosperous East City has Buguangli and Yongheli, two wards where officials live in concentration.

This is the residence of the Three Excellencies.

Compared to Buguangli and Yongheli, where the Three Excellencies' residences and officials live, the West City appears more spacious.

And most of the original inhabitants of Luoyangcheng live here.

The alleys here are smaller, and the buildings are more dense, but it is clearly not as imposing as the scene in the East City of Luoyang.

There are many people of all kinds, mixed with dragons and snakes.

Hongchan, who fled all the way from the East City to the West City, had several more wounds on her body.

But the strong will she had since she was a child supported her to persist until now.

It's just that the number of guards chasing behind her now didn't decrease but increased, with as many as twenty or thirty people.

After drilling into an alley, Hongchan leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

"Search!"

"Don't let a single place go!"

"She is so heavily injured, she definitely can't run far!"

"Dead or alive, I want her alive, nothing else matters!"

The guard leader's voice reached Hongchan's ears from afar.

Hongchan, her teeth biting her red lips, continued to walk staggeringly toward the alley.

However, just as she passed the gate of a small courtyard, the courtyard gate suddenly opened inward.

A person in black and masked quickly pulled the injured Hongchan into the courtyard.

Hongchan, caught off guard, wanted to resist.

But after hearing the voice ringing in her ears, Hongchan immediately froze in place.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

"Don't make a sound."

Duan Liuqing pulled Hongchan with one hand and made a shushing gesture with the other hand at her lips.

Hongchan immediately recognized Duan Liuqing's voice.

"Sister Qing... I... I am so useless," Hongchan choked.

Duan Liuqing looked up and down at the wounds on Hongchan's body.

Shoulder, back, calf.

Covered in wounds.

Duan Liuqing shook her head gently: "Don't blame yourself; rest assured, Sister is here."

Duan Liuqing helped Hongchan walk toward the back of the small courtyard.

Two assassins from the Military Intelligence Office responsible for the response looked at the surrounding courtyard walls vigilantly.

Dense footsteps had already sounded around the courtyard.

Duan Liuqing gripped the long sword in her hand nervously.

These people outside were not the same kind of goods as the group of rangers led by Li Hu that they dealt with that night.

There were Yuan family guards and loyalists raised by the Yuan family.

It was absolutely not easy to win with fewer people.

Therefore, avoid fighting if possible.

Duan Liuqing handed a dagger from her sleeve to Hongchan.

Hongchan took the cold dagger and looked down at it.

"Sister Qing... you... you go; taking me will only be a burden."

Hongchan pursed her lips and said: "Sister Qing, rest assured, I will absolutely not fall into their hands alive."

Duan Liuqing didn't answer.

Because when she came, Duan Liuqing had already prepared for the worst.

Suddenly, the footsteps and shouts outside stopped.

But this was not a good sign.

Outside the courtyard gate, the black-clad leading guard narrowed his eyes and looked at the bloodstains on the ground extending into the courtyard gate.

Then he signaled to the guards on the left and right.

The guards who understood began to hide and surround the courtyard wall.

"Open the gate."

The black-clad leader said to the guard beside him.

A guard holding a horizontal sword in one hand and a round shield in the other slammed into the courtyard gate.

Crack!

The courtyard gate was instantly knocked open.

Several crossbow arrows were shot from inside the courtyard, but they were all blocked by the round shields in the guards' hands.

The black-clad leading guard stood outside the courtyard gate, looking at Duan Liuqing and the others in the courtyard with a sinister smile.

"Hehe, good, I didn't expect one to lead to a whole nest. Today I will wipe you all out!"

"Attack for me!"

After the order was given, a large number of guards climbed over the courtyard gate and the surrounding courtyard walls, rushing toward Duan Liuqing and Hongchan in the courtyard.

Duan Liuqing gripped the long sword in her hand tightly, standing in front of Hongchan without hesitation, just like that night several years ago.

Duan Liuqing, plus two assassins from the Military Intelligence Office, formed a triangle from the front, left, and right, protecting Hongchan in the middle, facing the dozens of people rushing toward them.

However, just when the leading black-clad guard leader thought he could kill Hongchan quickly.

A large number of crossbow arrows shot out instantly from the windows around the dilapidated house in the courtyard.

Sleeve arrows, each only the length of an index finger, shot out through the windows.

Shooting toward the many Yuan family guards outside the courtyard.

"Not good, there is an ambush!"

The black-clad guard leader's expression changed.
