Taiyuan City, Tongfu Inn.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Lord Guard!"
Inside the Heaven-class guest room, Zhao Deyan was standing by the window, staring out. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, followed by a low voice. Zhao Deyan's gaze turned cold, but he immediately relaxed because he recognized the identity of the person outside. He said calmly, "Come in!"
The door wasn't locked.
Xuan Ye, dressed in black, pushed the door open and entered. After closing the door again, he quickly walked to Zhao Deyan, cupped his fists, and said, "Lord Guard, I'm back!"
At this time, all the guests and waiters in the inn were resting. Naturally, Xuan Ye couldn't enter from the main entrance of the inn. He could only climb in through the window like how he climbed out of the window earlier. However, even if he was given ten guts, he wouldn't dare to climb through the window of Zhao Deyan's room. He climbed in through the window of the Earth-class guest room next door. After that, he didn't even have time to change his clothes before he came straight to Zhao Deyan!
"Did you find out anything?"
Zhao Deyan didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Lord Guard, I found out that the fire in the long alley in the south of the city this afternoon was set by Wang Xinyuan. He knew that the King of Wei was going to personally escort a batch of supplies to Dragon Mountain, so he sent people to ambush in the south of the city in advance. He didn't expect to fall into the King of Wei's trap, and one of their assassins was captured alive by the other party …"
Xuan Ye cupped his fists and slowly recounted the conversation between Li Tai and Su Yuncheng that he had eavesdropped on at the posthouse just now.
When he finally learned the truth about the fire in the south of the city today, Zhao Deyan's face was as gloomy as water. He couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "Wang Xinyuan and Wang Kui, these two idiots. The other party deliberately revealed a little flaw and acted rashly. They really can't do anything right, but they're good at ruining things! Now that their whereabouts have been exposed, if they fall into the hands of the government, I'm afraid they'll ruin my plans! "
At this moment, if Zhao Deyan were a modern person, he really wanted to say, "Don't be afraid of god-like opponents, but be afraid of pig-like teammates!" With the current situation in Taiyuan City, they had already formed a confrontation with the government forces in the dark and in the open. No one could do anything to the other. They were just waiting for the reinforcements to arrive. Then, he and Wang Kui would launch an all-out attack. Then, the entire Taiyuan City would be theirs!
However, the two idiots, Wang Kui and Wang Xinyuan, after a series of stupid actions, directly broke the stalemate. It was very likely that the government would find a breakthrough here!
But what Zhao Deyan did not know was that one of the carrier pigeons he had sent to Xieli Khagan had been intercepted by Han Lizheng. Even without Wang Xinyuan and Wang Kui's' disruption ', Li Tai and the others had already learned of his plan. Although they would not be able to capture him in the short term, both the Great Tang border and Taiyuan City were now on guard. Even if his reinforcements really did come, they would find it very difficult to take Taiyuan City!
But in any case, the 'disruption' of Wang Xinyuan and Wang Kui had accelerated Zhao Deyan's exposure and failure!
Xuan Ye cupped his fists and said, "Rest assured, Lord Wei. I heard from King Wei and Dugu Xin that Wang Kui and Wang Xinyuan should have escaped. Wang Kui has a secret manor near Longshan in the south of the city. Over the years, Wang Kui has trained a group of killers in that manor. The killer captured alive by the Imperial Army today is one of them. The old woman that the Imperial Army took away from Baosheng Lane earlier is the killer's mother.
Today, the Provincial Governor's Mansion posted the portrait and reward notice of this killer all over the city. Wang Kui wanted to send his men to kill the old woman to silence her. But he did not expect that the man he sent was killed by Wang Chengwu, the commander of the Wang family's Shadow Guards. Later, the old woman fell into the hands of the Imperial Army. The killer confessed everything about Wang Kui! Now, Dugu Xin has sent the Imperial Army to Wang Kui's secret manor in the south of the city! "
"This Wang Kui is really difficult to achieve great things!"
Zhao Deyan frowned. Then, he reacted and asked, "Hmm? Did you just say Dugu Xin? What? From what you said, he is still alive and well? He is not dead yet? "
