He thought back to how smug he had been before coming to the Provincial Governor's Residence. At the time, he had believed that with the prison guards and the soldiers of the Bing Province Barracks acting as spies, their plan to rescue Zhao Deyan would be foolproof. But who would have thought that not only would they fail to save Zhao Deyan, they would even end up losing their lives?
This was truly a case of trying to steal a chicken and coming home shorn, losing the wife and the soldiers!
How had this foolproof plan ended up in such a state? A figure emerged in Heavenly Eagle's mind, a man dressed in black and wearing a bamboo hat!
It was that man who had ruined their plan. If not for that man, they would have already brought Zhao Deyan back to the inn. How could they have ended up fighting amongst themselves and being surrounded?
Heavenly Eagle couldn't help but gnash his teeth in hatred. At the same time, he began to search the crowd for that bamboo hat man, but he couldn't find him. He couldn't help but be confused. This man wasn't from the government? Then why had he stopped them at the back gate of the Provincial Governor's Residence?
"You … you're the bailiffs of the Provincial Governor's Residence, right? What are you standing around for? Don't you see that these Turkic spies want to break out of the prison? Why aren't you coming with us to capture the spies? "
In the midst of this silent standoff, one of the 'clowns' suddenly shouted at Li Junxian's group.
Speaking of which, this guy was really lucky. Just now, this group of people had been fighting so fiercely that even Xuan Ye, a Grandmaster expert, had been stabbed several times. However, this guy, who had not even reached the Qi Transformation Realm, had actually survived such a fierce battle. It could be considered a miracle! As for the soldiers Fan Tingquan had brought with him, they had been cut down long ago, their fates unknown!
As for who had cut them down, Fan Tingquan himself had no idea, but Li Junxian and the other 'spectators' had seen everything clearly!
Of course, these 'minor details' were no longer important. To Fan Tingquan, the most important thing now was to find a way to wash off the 'suspicion' on him. When he saw that the people around him were all bailiffs from the state capital, he knew that something bad had happened. At this moment, he rolled his eyes and immediately came up with a plan. Thus, this guy actually started acting on the spot.
But this fellow was underestimating Li Junxian's intelligence and ability to gather information if he thought he could get away with it with just a few words.
But how could Li Junxian be so easily fooled?
"Men! Take them all down! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy! "
Li Junxian indifferently glanced at Fan Tingquan as if he were looking at a clown. He didn't even want to say a single word to Fan Tingquan as he gave orders to his one hundred cavalry and yamen runners.
Moreover, as the commander of one hundred cavalry and the 'Chief Executive' of Taiyuan City, Li Junxian had many sources of information. How could he possibly be fooled by Fan Tingquan's clumsy lie? Not only did he want to capture Fan Tingquan, but he also wanted to capture the person behind Fan Tingquan!
"Yes!"
Everyone roared in agreement, and then charged towards Xuan Ye, Skyhawk, and the others.
At this moment, other than Xuan Ye, Sky Eagle, and Fan Tingquan, the rest of the people were either lying on the ground, clutching their wounds and wailing, or had completely fainted. Facing so many soldiers, the heavily injured Xuan Ye, Sky Eagle, and Fan Tingquan could not do anything at all!
Moreover, there was a supreme expert like Li Junxian holding down the fort!
"Eh? What do you mean capture all of us? I'm a soldier under General Zuo's command! Why are you capturing me? You're one of Constable Feng's subordinates, right? Have Constable Feng come over and see if he dares to touch me! If you capture me today, General Zuo won't let you go! "
Fan Tingquan began to panic when he saw that Li Junxian had not recognized him as a 'comrade', and he began to yell.
He had never seen Li Junxian before, and when he saw that Li Junxian was surrounded by soldiers from the provincial capital, he believed that Li Junxian was one of Constable Feng's' little brothers', so he thought that he could get away with it. If he knew Li Junxian's true identity, he would not be so 'jumping'!
"What's with all this nonsense? Behave yourself! "
Two soldiers held Fan Tingquan from the left and right, and one of them, upon seeing how noisy Fan Tingquan was, couldn't help but punch him.
Fan Tingquan didn't know who Li Junxian was, but these two did! Let alone Zuo Gongquan, not even Fang Gongteng of the Bing Province Barracks would dare to do anything to Li Junxian!
"Aiyo!"
The bailiff's punch landed right on Fan Tingquan's wound. Fan Tingquan immediately screamed in pain and began to spit out, "Motherf * cker, you guys just wait and see. Once General Zuo arrives, all of you will have to … wuwuwu … "
The other soldier could no longer bear to listen and stuffed a coarse cloth he had picked up from somewhere into Fan Tingquan's mouth. The street finally fell silent!
As for Xuan Ye and Tianying, they saw that the soldiers were pressing down on them. The two of them took up their weapons, wariness on their faces. It appeared that they still wanted to put up a final resistance.
But just when they were preparing to circulate their energy, they realized that they couldn't circulate their true energy. At the same time, their limbs felt powerless. Let alone attack, they found it difficult to even lift their swords!
The two of them glanced at each other and guessed that this was probably the aftereffects of being poisoned. They knew that they were done for and could only sit and wait for death!
Li Junxian had been paying attention to Xuan Ye and Tianying this entire time. He was worried that the two of them would try to counterattack, so he had been on guard this entire time. But when he saw that their sword-wielding hands were trembling, he sighed in relief. He knew that the two of them were probably exhausted and powerless to resist!
He couldn't help but inwardly sigh. This Enchanting Powder truly was frightening. Not only could it temporarily cause one to lose their mind, it could also drain one's true energy and exhaust one's strength. It was truly a divine tool for dealing with supreme experts like Xuan Ye!
If not for this thing, Li Junxian would have had to expend a great deal of effort to capture Xuan Ye and Tianying, and there was a high chance that he wouldn't have been able to capture them!
While Li Junxian was sighing to himself, Yan Gui and He Jian had already captured Xuan Ye and Tianying. The two strongest Turkic spies had fallen into the hands of the authorities. The entire process had gone surprisingly smoothly.
"Yan Gui, take these people to the prison of the Provincial Governor's Residence. Have the injured treated first. Keep a tight watch on everyone else!"
Seeing that the situation was settled, Li Junxian ordered Yan Gui.
"This general will go!"
Yan Gui clasped his fists.
Li Junxian continued, "Everyone else, follow this general to capture Zuo Gongquan!"
In truth, Li Junxian had received news that Zuo Gongquan had defected around two hours before the incident, so he hadn't believed Fan Tingquan's nonsense.
"Yes!"
