I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Shen Changgong was sitting in a carriage with Gongsun Wan'er also sitting inside, flanked by mounted guards and ten shadow guards in night clothes.

When the shadow guards were performing their mission, they did not wear clothes with obvious markings, which made Shen Changgong think that they were not bad.

Still have some brains.

They quietly arrived at a place not far from the Duke's Mansion. Gongsun Wan'er took the topographic map and explained to Shen Changgong the room where Chen Anmin was.

"Wait for me here. I'll come as soon as I go."

Shen Changgong said.

"Why should I wait for you? I want to go back to the harem and sleep."

"I haven't beaten you yet. Do you want to be beaten in the dead of night when no one is watching, or do you want me to beat you in front of many people tomorrow?"

"A man who hits a woman is not a gentleman."

Gongsun Wan'er struggled in the end.

"A man who beats his wife is not a gentleman, but you are not my wife, and I am not a gentleman either."

After saying that, Shen Changgong took off the stolen shadow guard clothes, revealing the nightgown underneath, tied the sleeve arrows, and finally put the iron mask on his face.

After getting off the car, Shen Changgong waved to Lu Bing and entered the darkness with ten shadow guards.

They moved quickly through the dark alleys, and then arrived at the west side of the Duke's Mansion and jumped onto a storefront across the road.

With the help of the geographical advantage, Shen Changgong could clearly see the guest room. To his surprise, the light was still on inside.

It's already late at night, aren't you asleep yet?

Thanks to the light in Chen Anmin's room, Shen Changgong saw that there were at least ten guards holding sharp blades around the house.

"Sir, shall we proceed? Ten of us will each have one target. We can kill them quickly without them making any noise."

Lu Bing asked in a low voice.

Shen Changgong shook his head and said,

"Observe again. I suspect there may be assassins secretly guarding around."

"assassin?"

"I was attacked by an assassin last night, and today this incident happened. We searched his house but couldn't catch Chen Anmin, so he ran away to the Duke of Liang's residence.

Prince Rong's group certainly doesn't want me to capture Chen Anmin and then dig out evidence about the Duke of Liang's Mansion from him.

They might send assassins to hide in the dark and protect Chen Anmin.

We are currently making illegal arrests, and once we are surrounded, we will be in a passive position."

"Illegal arrest? What if we arrest him and interrogate him, and Duke Liang says we did it illegally?"

"Chen Anmin is a wanted criminal. We can arrest him openly, but we have no evidence to prove that he is in the Duke of Liang's house. If we force our way into his house to arrest him, the assassins in his house will immediately take Chen Anmin away.

If we can't catch the person and get evidence that Duke Liang is harboring a wanted criminal, then entering his house to search him will be illegal.

But if we quietly arrest Chen Anmin, Duke Liang wouldn't dare accuse us of illegal arrest, because that would be a disguised admission of harboring a wanted criminal."

"Your Excellency has a quick mind, and I admire you."

"Stop flattering and observe your surroundings."

Shen Changgong's eyes were as sharp as torches and cold as a poisonous snake, and he would not miss any suspicious corner.

“There’s one on the roof of the guest room, two on the courtyard wall, and I don’t know if there’s one in the corner; I can’t see it.

You guys take action first later, sneak up on the two assassins on the courtyard wall, I will use the crossbow to deal with them, you take the opportunity to grab their legs and pull them down to avoid making any noise when they fall to the ground.

Then I'll go deal with the one on the roof, and you guys follow immediately and get rid of those knife-wielding guards as quickly as possible.

They are scattered around, with blind spots, and we can defeat them one by one."

"As ordered!"

"action!"

Lu Bing, accompanied by a shadow guard, personally approached the two assassins on the courtyard wall.

When the two men reached the corner of the wall, Shen Changgong raised his sleeve arrow, aimed it at the temple of one of them, and pulled the trigger.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

After a crossbow arrow was shot out, Shen Changgong immediately fired another crossbow arrow, hitting another person in the temple.

There was almost no pause in between, it was completely muscle memory.

Lu Bing and another person immediately pulled the two assassins down and put them in the corner.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Changgong led the remaining people and quickly ran to the corner of the wall.

He was as light as a swallow and jumped into the courtyard wall with a somersault.

"Who?!"

A low shout was heard, and Shen Changgong and the two assassins who were on guard stared at each other.

Shen Changgong drew out his two swords without hesitation, cut off the throats of the two men, and severed their trachea.

He hid in the darkness and moved quickly to the foot of the guest room. While the guard was taking a nap, he jumped directly onto the roof and pounced on the assassin on the roof.

Shen Changgong moved as fast as lightning, slashing the assassin's neck with a knife, chopping off his head in an instant.

At this time, the shadow guards brought by Lu Bing also rushed in. They held daggers in their hands and attacked the three people behind the room first.

They had a clear division of labor. Some covered their mouths, some wiped their necks, and some stabbed their hearts. In the blink of an eye, they killed all three guards and then gently laid them on the ground.

Then, they did the same thing and killed all the guards on both sides one by one.

Shen Changgong was observing the situation from above. After the people on both sides of the house surrounded the house and launched an attack towards the front of the house, Shen Changgong immediately jumped down, came to the middle, and killed the two guards at the door with one sword each.

The others also killed the guards on both sides.

After doing it quietly, Shen Changgong made a gesture to keep quiet, and then quietly listened to the movements in the room.

From inside the room, there were sounds of a man's heavy breathing and a woman's moaning.

It's already midnight, and this idiot ran to his brother-in-law, Duke Liang's house and didn't even sleep. How could he still be in the mood to do this?

Shen Changgong was thinking that if he kicked the door open directly, the people inside would definitely scream and attract more people.

If only there was some way to make them pass out.

He suddenly saw Lu Bing take out a tube from his arms, and then another shadow guard lit it and blew out the flame, and wisps of gray smoke came out of the tube.

Sure, I've also prepared some incendiary drugs.

Lu Bing wet his fingers with saliva, poked a hole in the window, inserted the tube, then took a deep breath and blew in.

White smoke entered the house and spread.

After a full quarter of an hour, the people inside gradually became quiet.

Shen Changgong opened the door and led everyone in, and saw a fat man lying on a naked woman, both of whom were unconscious.

Everyone held their breath and walked forward quickly.

He took out a rope, tied up both the man and the woman, and carried them out.

The other guards were all dead, and Chen Anmin was also captured. This woman was obviously a concubine or maid. If she stayed here, Duke Liang would kill her to vent his anger.

It would be better to take him away and send him to the Jiaofangsi, which is also a good place for him to go and contribute to the GDP of Dayan.
