"Quick! Move faster! "
In the dark night, a group of Imperial Army soldiers holding torches and riding horses rushed out of the post house. The leader was Dugu Feiying. Other than the Imperial Army soldiers, there was also Han Lizheng behind him. Li Tai, Iron Egg, and the others were not in the group.
In fact, Li Tai wanted to go with them to Baosheng Square. However, Dugu Feiying suggested that Li Tai stay in the post house on the grounds that it was unsafe at night. Han Lizheng, Iron Egg, and the others also persuaded him. In the end, Li Tai had no choice but to give up the idea and stay in the post house with Iron Egg.
The truth was just as Dugu Feiying said. In this era, there were no neon lights or street lamps. Once night fell and there was no moon, the streets would be pitch black. Under such circumstances, it would be difficult to guard against an ambush or a sneak attack.
"Zhang Dafu, lead the way to Baosheng Square!"
After leaving the post house, Dugu Xin shouted loudly.
After all, he was not a local of Taiyuan. In addition, it was night time. If no one led the way, it would be difficult to find Baosheng Square.
"Yes!"
A soldier answered and walked out of the crowd to Dugu Feiying's side. He was only half a horse's length ahead of Dugu Feiying. The group of people rushed toward the south of the city.
However, because it was night time and the light was not good, they did not dare to move as fast as they did during the day. Otherwise, if they bumped into any obstacles, they would be thrown off their horses and easily cause a stampede.
The commotion on the street inevitably alerted the people in the houses on both sides of the street. However, according to the curfew system in this era of big cities, the houses were all closed at this time. Even if the people heard the commotion, they couldn't go out to check. Only some of the people who lived at the edge of the houses could see a long "fire dragon" on the street through the windows on the second floor of their houses, rushing towards the south!
At the same time, under Fang Gongteng's lead, the soldiers of the Bing Province Barracks were also rushing to the south of the city. This group had more people than the Imperial Army, around 400 people. The 'fire dragon' formed by 400 torches was even more spectacular than Dugu Feiying's group.
However, the Bing Province Barracks was located in the northwest of Taiyuan City, and the courier station was located in the center of Taiyuan City. Therefore, in terms of distance, the Bing Province Barracks was further away from the southern Baosheng Square!
In order to reach the southern part of the city as quickly as possible, Fang Gongteng specially sent two men to clear the path in front of the group. This way, even if there were obstacles on the road, only the two men would be knocked over, and it would not affect the speed of the entire group.
Speaking of which, if there was a moon tonight, they could take advantage of the moonlight to gallop at full speed without having to worry about bumping into obstacles in the dark. However, there was no moon tonight, and Fang Gongteng could only use this "stupid method" to increase the speed of their group as much as possible!
However, the speed of their group was much faster than Dugu Feiying's group! After all, most of the soldiers of the Bing Province Barracks had lived in Taiyuan City for many years. Their familiarity with the roads in the city was far inferior to that of the Imperial Army. When it came to traveling at night, they naturally had the advantage!
"… Since Uncle Wang has never heard of this Zhao Deyan, this junior will take his leave first!"
In the courtyard of the Wang Family's ancestral home, Dugu Xin stood up and cupped his fists toward Wang Yu.
In the evening, when Li Tai and his group went to the Provincial Governor's Manor, Dugu Xin brought a few people to the Wang Family. His main purpose was to obtain information on Zhao Deyan from Wang Yu.
