At dawn on December 27th, the Garrison Army of Canyon Peak City had already taken to the streets, patrolling the streets and alleys of Canyon Peak City.
For Canyon Peak City, this was not an ordinary day, at least not in the days when the Wei Clan ruled the Canyon Peak District.
The former Castellan Wei Zhong had died on December 27th last year, and the current Castellan was his only son, Wei Tianqi.
As early as a few days ago, every household in Canyon Peak City had received a notice that all the people in Canyon Peak City had to mourn for Wei Zhong on this day. Everyone was required to wear black gauze, heavy makeup, and no drinking. All the bars and taverns in the city were closed on this day.
The Garrison Army began to inspect the whole city early in the morning, and many people simply closed their doors. The morning market, which used to be very lively every day, only had a few people selling things today, but after a strict inspection by the Garrison Army, they hurriedly closed their stalls.
The whole city fell into a dead silence, and only the people of the Castellan's Mansion swaggered through the streets from time to time.
"These abominable guys!" Mi San, who was hiding in a house, gritted her teeth and cursed when she saw a group of Garrison Army soldiers just passing through the window.
Behind her, Hua Yue and Yu Ji, the two strongest members of Nightingale, were sitting in a corner of the room, frowning slightly. They were not too surprised by the current situation in the city. The notice from the Castellan's Mansion had already been announced to the whole city, and they had also interrogated Wei Ran about the intensity of the inspection. Although this made it more difficult for them to carry out their tasks, everything was still within their expectations.
As the group of Garrison Army soldiers passed through the window and walked to the end of the street, Hua Yue looked at Yu Ji and asked, "Is it time?"
"Yes, we can move." Yu Ji nodded.
Hua Yue got up and tidied up his equipment for the last time with a firm look on his face.
"Let's go," he said. Mi San gently opened the door, and the group of Garrison Army soldiers just turned around at the end of the street. The three of them walked into an empty street and soon entered an alley.
Members of Nightingale, like them, who had begun their activities to avoid the inspection of the whole city, were scattered all over Canyon Peak City.
Xiabong Castellan.
The gate to the mansion was wide open. Two squads of guards were lined up neatly on the left and right. They had been standing there for a long time.
Wei Chao, the leader of the twelve family guards of the City Lord's Mansion, walked out of the door and personally looked at the streets to his left and right. Then, he nodded towards the courtyard behind him. The sound of chains rang out in the courtyard amidst the shouts.
The members of Nightingale, who had been captured alive by the Castellan's Mansion, walked out of the Castellan's Mansion one by one.
The prisoners of Canyon Peak City were originally held in a special prison twenty li outside the city, and the execution ground was also located elsewhere. But this time, the captured members of the Nightingale Club were directly imprisoned in the mayor's mansion, and the execution ground was built in the former Zhenfeng College's Wind Gathering Field.
From the City Lord's Mansion to Zhenfeng College, one had to cross almost half of Canyon Peak City. These members of the Nightingale Club were paraded through the streets before their execution.
The garrison guards stood neatly on both sides, and more than half of the twelve family guards of the City Lord's Mansion were personally responsible for escorting them. City Lord Wei Tianqi soon appeared in the middle of the procession, riding a tall and sturdy horse.
The procession left the Castellan's Mansion and moved in the direction of the former Zhenfeng College. Although it was said to be a parade, no one dared to walk on the street to watch. But at this speed, it would take at least four hours to reach the execution ground. Gradually, some people appeared on the street. As required by the City Lord's Mansion, they wore black gauze, but they did not dare to show any emotion to the members of the Nightingale Club who were being escorted. They did not even dare to look at them.
The members of the Nightingale Club did not show up. Wei Chao, who was walking in front of the procession, looked more and more serious. From time to time, he would go to the procession to report something to Wei Tianqi.
After about three hours, the procession had completed more than half of the journey. Some people who were secretly looking forward to it began to feel disappointed. It seemed that the Nightingale Club was really finished. From now on, there was no one in the Canyon Peak District who could speak for the weak like them.
But at this moment, in Xiabong Castellan, a flame suddenly rose to the sky. The cry of "fire!" was suddenly heard in the mansion in broad daylight. Following that, one, two, three … Continuous flames engulfed and engulfed the City Lord's Mansion.
It's coming!
The people who were looking forward to it heard the noise and saw the black smoke and flames. Their hearts lit up, and many people walked on the street at this time. They did not want to see the people of the Nightingale Club being punished, but they were happy to see the attack on the Castellan's Mansion.
The news quickly spread to the procession that was escorting the Nightingale Club, and it immediately caused a commotion.
"Don't panic!" Wei Tianqi, who was the most conspicuous in the procession, shouted.
"How many of the remaining members of the Nightingale Club can there be? Don't fall into their trap! "Wei Tianqi said.
"But to be able to set such a fire in the Castellan's Mansion, I'm afraid their strength cannot be underestimated." Wei Chao said.
After hearing this, Wei Tianqi's expression changed.
Even if most of the family guards and himself were in the procession, the Castellan's Mansion was his foundation. The forces left to protect the Castellan's Mansion would never be weak. Two or three little kittens were not enough to turn the Castellan's Mansion upside down.
"I'll bring some people back to have a look." Wei Chao said.
"Alright." After thinking about it, Wei Tianqi reluctantly agreed.
Wei Chao led two family guards and some people back to the City Lord's Mansion in a hurry.
"Don't stop, continue to move forward. Be careful and be on guard. "Wei Tianqi shouted.
The procession continued to move forward, but everyone, including Wei Tianqi, looked a little uneasy. Before receiving a specific report, Wei Tianqi's heart could not be completely at ease.
Just like this, another half an hour passed, and finally, a spy came back.
"Report …" The spy rolled and crawled all the way, his face was bloodstained, and his voice sounded like he was crying.
"Say it." Wei Tianqi hurriedly said.
"Lord Wei Chao fell into the enemy's trap, including him, a total of six family guards were captured alive by Nightingale. They said they would use them as hostages in exchange for Nightingale's people." The spy said.
"Impossible!" Wei Tianqi shouted in shock and anger, "Even if Nightingale was at her peak, it was not enough to capture half of the family guards of the Castellan's Mansion!"
The spy seemed to not know how to answer, just crawled on the ground, his body very low.
"How did they do it?" Wei Tianqi controlled his emotions and asked in a deep voice.
The spy looked up and was about to say something, but from the front, another figure hurried over.
"Report!!" Compared to before, this person's voice was more anxious and panicked.
"What's wrong?" Wei Tianqi's head hurriedly turned back and saw that the direction of the person was towards the execution ground. Could it be that something happened there?
"Nightingale raided the execution ground." The spy who rushed over was panting, and before he came close, he had already hurriedly said, "Lord Wei Yang and Lord Wei Chang were captured, and Lord Wei Jiang died in battle …"
The whole procession suddenly panicked. To be able to attack these two places at the same time, the enemy's strength was so strong that it would not be a problem for them to fight them, right?
As for the two secret agents, just when everyone was at a loss, they secretly exchanged glances. The one who was crawling in front of Wei Tianqi suddenly jumped up.
