Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

The footsteps are getting closer.

Zhang Jingwei suddenly had an idea and hid in the cabinet where the secret guard had been hiding.

And the wood was also very smart. It just lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.

When a group of secret guards and heavily armored guards arrived, they only saw the man in black unconscious on the ground and the piece of wood pretending to be dead. The leading secret guard used his hand to check the breath of the two men.

Zhang Jingwei saw through the gap in the cabinet that Yi Feiyu had already mixed in with this group of heavy armored people.

The leader of the secret guards ordered his men behind him, "The man is not dead yet. Go and inform the master that there is an assassin!"

"Yes!"

At this time, another secret guard ran over and said, "Commander, we just found two brothers dead in the corridor. Guard A said that they were killed by General Yi!"

"Any traces?"

"No trace! Do you want to... ring the bell?"

"No, let Fifth Brother ring the bell. It's inappropriate for us to ring the bell without permission." The Dark Guard leader then ordered the heavily armored soldiers, "Go find your Commander Zhao and inform him of the situation here."

The fifth brother he mentioned should be Zhao Wuchuan.

"Commander, the master is drunk!"

The leader of the secret guards slammed his fist on the cabinet and shouted angrily, "There's something wrong with that group today!"

Zhang Jingwei hid in the cupboard and didn't dare to breathe until the leader of the secret guards turned around and left, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to move, the leader of the secret guards looked at the cabinet again.

"Who's there! Whoever's in the closet, come out!"

Several secret guards drew their daggers and slowly approached the cabinet.

At this time, Mu Tou stood up, strangled one of the secret guards, snatched the dagger and put it on the guard's neck.

"Don't touch my young master!"

Mu Tou roared at the leader of the secret guards!

Zhang Jingwei's face was filled with black lines. He had finally managed to get rid of a few people, but this guy just couldn't hold his temper. He simply didn't hide anymore and jumped out of the cabinet directly.

"Commander, kill him! Avenge me!"

The kidnapped secret guard went crazy instantly.

He directly crashed into the dagger in Mu Tou's hand.

Bright red blood splattered from his neck, and he fell to the ground, twitching twice before becoming motionless.

Is this what a death warrior is? Unafraid of death! He'd rather die than surrender!

"You...you...go to hell!" the leader of the secret guards yelled at Zhang Jingwei.

His eyes were bloodshot, his hand holding the knife was shaking, and he rushed towards Zhang Jingwei.

"Master!"

Mu Tou rushed over quickly, but it was too late.

The dagger was right in front of him, and Zhang Jingwei staggered backward in fear.

Suddenly, Zhang Jingwei's eyes seemed to be covered by a piece of red gauze, and his eyes were blood red.

Gao Fei rushed out in time, chopped off one of the hands of the leader of the secret guards with a swing of his steel knife, then raised the steel knife upwards and directly cut open his chest.

Zhang Jingwei was not afraid of blood, but the scene was too shocking: a severed hand and a dead body lying on the ground with blood gushing from its chest.

"Oh ugh—!"

Zhang Jingwei was so upset that he vomited.

Zhang Jingwei wiped the cold sweat from his head and didn't dare to look at her again.

The remaining two secret guards tried to escape, but were intercepted and killed by Yi Feiyu, who was wearing heavy armor.

After dealing with the secret guard, Yi Feiyu couldn't help but complain: "You are such a poor martial artist and you are still a secret guard!"

After eliminating the danger, Zhang Jingwei quickly looked through the account books. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find any, but he did find a roster.

It recorded the spies Han Ye had planted in various prefectures in Hedong, which actually piqued Zhang Jingwei's interest.

But when he turned to the first page, he saw a name that shocked him, "Wang Ergou! Houfu!"

This Wang Ergou is actually a spy!

"hiss--"

Zhang Jingwei took a deep breath. Fortunately, he hadn't told anyone about coming to the Water Defense Camp, otherwise...

Now, thanks to everyone's efforts, the account book has been found.

"Official Accounts of the Yunzhou Garrison Water Defense Battalion!"

It not only contains the monthly payroll of more than 3,000 officers and soldiers, but also the records of the caravans that plundered the Western Regions.

Zhang Jingwei stuffed the account book tightly into his arms, looking very satisfied.

After obtaining the evidence, Zhang Jingwei asked Mu Tou to go downstairs to check on Xiao Cui and not let a girl stay downstairs alone for too long, while he took Yi Feiyu and Gao Fei to Han Ye's bedroom.

There were only four of them left on the second floor, but after counting the number of secret guards, they realized something was wrong. According to what Zhao Wuchuan said, there were ten secret guards. Gao Fei had taken out two on the first floor alone, and five on the second floor.

When they arrived at Han Ye's room, Zhang Jingwei told them to be more careful.

The candlesticks in the bedroom were not as bright as those in the hall and study, but they could still clearly see every corner of the room.

Han Ye was sleeping on the bed with his back to them. Yi Feiyu and Gao Fei looked at each other, and after getting Gao Fei's affirmative nod, he stepped forward and lifted the quilt.

As soon as the quilt was lifted, the dark shadow on the bed suddenly jumped up and swung the knife quickly. Yi Feiyu's head leaned back subconsciously, and the distance between the short blade and his neck was perhaps only half an inch.

Gao Fei kicked the guard away, but another guard suddenly appeared from under the bed and slashed at Gao Fei's calf. Gao Fei bent his knees in pain and slashed down with the steel knife, severing the guard's head and body.

"Master Gao! Are you okay?" After Yi Feiyu dealt with the secret guard in front of him, he became concerned about Gao Fei's injuries.

"No...no...it's okay!" Gao Fei endured the pain, tore off a piece of cloth from the corpse, and wrapped it tightly around his calves twice.

Zhang Jingwei suppressed his nausea, and the anxiety in his heart exploded.

Where is Han Ye?

We have to catch someone alive and ask him.

Just then, they heard the bell ringing upstairs. Yi Feiyu flew upstairs, intending to kill the secret guard who rang the bell.

"Keep alive!"

Yi Feiyu quickly sheathed the steel knife in his hand and quickly grabbed the dagger that the secret guard was stabbing at him with his left hand. His eyes were calm and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

Then, he raised his foot and kicked the guard's armpit with all his might. The kick was accurate and powerful. The guard groaned in pain, his hand dislocated instantly, and the dagger slipped from his hand.

"Where's Han Ye?"

The secret guard suddenly smiled with relief, his mouth full of blood.

Zhang Jingwei was frightened by this weird smile. It was not because of how weird his smile was, but because of the blood in his mouth and his deformed arm.

Zhang Jingwei said helplessly: "He wants to bite his tongue to commit suicide? Uh... brother, you can't die by biting your tongue."

When a person tries to bite their tongue, the tongue will instinctively shrink and move away to avoid being hurt. Even if they succeed and cause heavy bleeding, it will only cause oral inflammation and make it impossible to eat normally, and will not necessarily cause death.

"Go down and ask me. I will never betray my master!"

After saying that, he forcibly broke free from Yi Feiyu's restraints and jumped down from the third floor.

At this time, Mu Tou ran up, looking miserable, and said, "Xiao Cui is gone, and there are many armored guards rushing towards us!"

Zhang Jingwei leaned over and looked down. In addition to the corpse, there were indeed twenty or thirty people standing under the attic, and they were already entering the building one after another, but he was the only one who did not see Han Ye.

Seeing that the gate of the inner camp was opened, Zhang Jingwei knew that it was Zhao Wuchuan who was helping him.

Zhang Jingwei felt completely powerless at this moment. He said to Yi Feiyu tiredly, "Light the fire. Let's go downstairs and find Gao Fei first!"
