"What? A group of people is coming from the east? Aren't the relay station and the Provincial Governor's Mansion in the north? Why are there people coming from the east? And they are so fast? "
In the alley behind Tongfu Inn, Zhao Deyan was shocked when he heard Sky Eagle say that there was a group of people coming from the east. However, when he came to his senses, he could not help but feel a little strange. When he found out that Sun Dafu, the innkeeper of the inn, had gone missing, he guessed that Sun Dafu might have been captured by the Provincial Governor's Mansion or the Imperial Army. However, the Provincial Governor's Mansion and the relay station were in the north of Taiyuan City. Even if the other party had sent people to surround the inn, they should have come from the north. Moreover, the other party should not have come so quickly.
After all, Tongfu Inn was in the south of Taiyuan City!
"How many people are coming from the other party?"
After forcing himself to calm down, Zhao Deyan regained his composure and looked at Sky Eagle as he asked in a low voice.
Sky Eagle cupped his fists and said, "Reporting to the Guard Master, the other party does not have many people. There are only about ten of them. All of them are riding fast horses. They will catch up in a while! Do you want me to bring a few people to deal with them? "
"Ten of them? All of them are riding fast horses? "
Zhao Deyan's heart sank when he heard this. Of course, he knew that Taiyuan City would implement a curfew system at night. Those who dared to ride horses in public in the middle of the night either had their heads kicked by a donkey, or the other party really had an official background. Obviously, these ten or so cavalrymen coming toward the inn were definitely from the Tang Empire's government!
When did the government arrange such a "surprise army" near the inn?
This was a question that Zhao Deyan could not figure out no matter how hard he tried!
However, there was no time for him to think about this at this moment. He had to make a decision!
Although the cavalry coming from the east didn't have many people, they were fast. If he didn't pay attention to them, the other party would first miss the inn and then chase after them from behind. Or, the other party might guess their intentions and go to the post house to report in advance.
However, if he followed Sky Eagle's suggestion and sent people to intercept the cavalrymen, on the one hand, they only had about a hundred people. If they split their forces to deal with the cavalrymen, it would definitely weaken the power to attack the relay station. On the other hand, although the other party only had about ten people, he did not know how strong they were. The people he could send to intercept them were very limited. If they could not win or the noise during the battle attracted the yamen's patrolling in the city, the other party would still send people on fast horses to chase them!
Who would have thought that a cavalry troop of over ten people would actually cause Zhao Deyan's current situation to seem to have fallen into a dead knot that could not be untied no matter what!
"Guard Master, quickly give the order! If those people catch up any later, our operation might be exposed! "
Seeing Zhao Deyan standing on the spot without saying a word, Sky Eagle was anxious and could not help but urge.
Zhao Deyan's eyes flashed as he recovered from his deep thoughts. Just a moment ago, he suddenly thought of a plan, a plan that satisfied both sides and was extremely bold!
Taking two deep breaths, Zhao Deyan looked at Sky Eagle and Xuan Ye and said in a deep voice, "Xuan Ye, Sky Eagle, the two of you lead these people to attack the relay station immediately. You must capture Li Tai alive! Leave ten people behind and follow me back to the relay station! "
"What?"
Sky Eagle and Xuan Ye turned pale with fright when they heard this. They hurriedly said, "Guard Master, you must not do this!"
Xuan Ye hurriedly said, "The other party only has about ten people. I'll lead people to eliminate them now and then chase after them to assist Guard Master in attacking the relay station! We definitely won't waste any time! "
"That's right! Guard Master! The other party only has about ten people. Why do you have to personally take the risk? "
Sky Eagle also said.
Zhao Deyan's face was extremely grim. He looked at the two people before him and said coldly, "Hmph! After knowing that I'm in the inn, the other party only has about ten people who dare to surround the inn. Why do you think this is? Hmph! This is because either there's a top-notch expert among them, or these ten over people are only the enemy's vanguard. After they find out the actual situation, the enemy's main force will immediately surround us! "
Hearing Zhao Deyan's words, Xuan Ye and Sky Eagle calmed down one after another. Indeed, if there was a top-notch expert among the enemy, then they would be utterly unable to finish the battle in a short period of time. If there was a large force following behind the enemy, then it would be even more troublesome!
