"General, why … why are they fighting each other?"
When the soldiers chasing after Xuan Ye and the others arrived at a residential area about two li east of the Provincial Governor's Manor, they saw that Xuan Ye and the others had not only stopped in their tracks, they even began to fight with each other with weapons in their hands! That fellow and that scene were so bloody that those who didn't know would think that these people had some sort of deep grudge against each other. Otherwise, they wouldn't have fought so fiercely.
But weren't these people working together? Just a moment ago, they had been working together to save Zhao Deyan, so why were they now fighting as if they had seen their mortal enemy?
The leading officer was taken aback by this sight, but he quickly reacted and sternly ordered, "These people have been poisoned. Don't go over yet. At this time, they don't recognize anyone. Let them fight first. Once the effects of the poison wear off and they're out of strength, we'll capture them and bring them back!"
From his tone and actions, who else could this officer be but Li Junxian?
Li Junxian had sensed during the day that something might happen in the prison of the provincial capital. According to the investigation of the one hundred cavalry, An Shunshan had probably used vast sums of money to bribe some of the officers of the Bing Province Barracks. These bribed officers were the most unstable factor in the Provincial Governor's Residence, and the prison of the provincial capital held an extremely important criminal: Zhao Deyan!
In order to prevent Zhao Deyan from being rescued, Li Junxian had not only arranged for Lin Jiang, Zhao Kang, and the rest of the cavalry to secretly guard the perimeter of the Provincial Governor's Residence. After finishing his business at night, he had personally come over!
But he had been guarding the front gate of the Provincial Governor's Residence while the man in the bamboo hat had been guarding the back gate, so he had been a little late!
Yes! Li Junxian and the man in the bamboo hat truly were 'working together'!
"Zhao Kang! Immediately go back and check on the injuries of Lin Jiang and Chen Fu. Also, send someone to invite Physician Gongsun from Huichun Hall to treat them! "
Upon seeing the situation, Li Junxian decisively gave the order to Zhao Kang.
When they had come out of the back gate of the Provincial Governor's Residence, they had seen Lin Jiang, Chen Fu, and the others lying on the ground. But due to the urgency of the situation and the fact that they had not known that Xuan Ye and the others had been poisoned, in order to prevent Zhao Deyan from being rescued, they had been forced to put aside Lin Jiang and Chen Fu and focus on capturing Xuan Ye, Tianying, and the other Turkic spies!
Xuan Ye and Tianying were clearly like turtles in a jar and could not escape, so there was naturally no need to keep so many people here!
"This Feng is acquainted with Physician Gongsun, so let this Feng go!"
Constable Feng volunteered at this moment.
In truth, he had not returned home after patrolling the prison. In order to prevent any accidents from occurring in the prison, Constable Feng had been staying in an unused room in the Provincial Governor's Residence. About seven minutes ago, Lin Jiang and the others had run into Fan Tingquan, Xuan Ye, and Tianying at the back gate of the Provincial Governor's Residence. Although Fan Tingquan had insisted that Lin Jiang and the others were imposters, the bailiffs guarding the back gate had still noticed the difference!
But Xuan Ye and the others were too strong, and Fan Tingquan had many soldiers under his command. It was clear that the enemy was strong and they were outnumbered, so the bailiffs had not dared to fight. Instead, they had snuck into the Provincial Governor's Residence to report to Constable Feng!
When Constable Feng heard the news, he immediately gathered all the bailiffs in the Provincial Governor's Manor and rushed to the back door of the Provincial Governor's Manor. Not long after they moved, they saw a bright firework rising in the sky above the back door. Constable Feng knew that the situation there must have reached an extremely urgent state. He hurriedly ordered all the bailiffs to speed up and rush there!
Just as he was about to reach the back gate, Constable Feng heard a gust of wind behind him. Turning around, he saw several figures using lightness arts to rush over. Constable Feng thought that they were Turkic spies and was just about to draw his saber to stop them when he saw the face of their leader. It was none other than Li Junxian!
Thus, the two groups had converged and rushed out of the back gate of the Provincial Governor's Residence, resulting in this scene.
