Chapter 125 No one dares to chase
The cheers sounded without any surprises. The hundred cavalry brought by Wu Yan watched the Taiping Army step forward to the cavalry who left in embarrassment, mocking wantonly.

Then, the hundreds of riders galloped to Wu Yan's side.

It seems to be making up for the knife, searching for the property and weapons of those masters of the rivers and lakes, but in fact, under Wu Yan's order, those who lost their combat effectiveness after being hacked by Wu Yan did not die, or were directly backed by Wu Yan with a knife. The martial arts master who fell unconscious was caught on the back of a horse and taken away.

Because those corpses, as well as the horses on which these masters of the rivers and lakes were riding, were also taken away, so the Taiping Army's scouts did not find any conclusive evidence.

Even if they found out, they wouldn't care, because no one would have thought that someone would dare to take advantage of the night to assassinate Yang Xiuqing in the city.

The height of the city wall and the soldiers guarding in rotation 24 hours a day can detect any suspicious person.

And after Wu Yan returned to the camp, he also tortured him immediately, and the process was extremely cruel. Mr. Zheng, who decided to help Wu Yan do the dirty work, is becoming more and more inappropriate now.

After reaping the rewards, Wu Yan got a lot of information about Danyang City, and even knew about Yang Xiuqing's appearance, because many of these martial arts masters had seen Yang Xiuqing, and before they came to kill Wu Yan, they were also drawn by Yang Xiuqing. Flatbread.

As night fell, Wu Yan left the camp alone.

Instead of riding a horse, Wu Yan, who was dressed as a nocturnal traveler and avoided the Taiping Army scouts outside the camp, ran with all his strength, not much slower than a fast horse.

He didn't use light body skills. After learning the body skills of "Transforming Shapes and Positions", Wu Yan also has some ability to fly over the walls, which is not comparable to "Lingbo Microsteps" and "One Reed Crossing the River". But it is already an absolute leading level in this era.

At this time, what Wu Yan is using is only the physical fitness that has been trained for many years and has been improved by "Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Cover", as well as the body's bones, muscles, and skin scattered in the body because of this exercise. Special internal force.

This kind of internal force cannot be released externally, but it has a very powerful effect on improving physical fitness.

If there is a relevant evaluation, then Wu Yan's physical fitness has definitely exceeded the limit of normal human beings.

The distance of more than ten miles was quickly covered by Wu Yan with two legs.

Once outside Danyang City, one can clearly feel the strengthening of the defense force. Although it cannot reach the level of ten steps and one detection post, if one wants to forcefully break through, it is almost impossible to do so.

Although Wu Yan's speed is fast, it has not reached the level that other people's naked eyes can completely ignore, especially when the distance that needs to be crossed is large enough.

But at this time, the identity of shifting shape is very useful.

Wearing night clothes and there is no moon in the sky tonight, it can be said that the night is dark and windy, the most suitable time for killing people. Naturally, no one can find the hidden whereabouts, and finally came to Wu Yan under a city wall.

As soon as a group of Taiping troops patrolling the city wall passed by, Wu Yan had already displayed his "Gecko Swimming Wall Skill". Driven by his internal strength, the two suction cups made of gum were like those in a Mission: Impossible movie. The same high-tech suction cup.When force is needed, it is completely adsorbed on the wall, and the internal force enters it, and the suction cup will easily detach from the wall.

Soon, Wu Yan arrived at the top of the city.

"It's really not strict."

If Wu Yan had 5 people stationed in a city, there must be one person every ten steps above the city wall. Although Yang Xiuqing also arranged some soldiers to stand guard, the distance is far away, and some soldiers even gathered privately. together.

While looking for a suitable place to enter the city on the city wall, Wu Yan even saw four or five sentry posts of the Taiping Army gathered under a torch to drink.

This kind of loose military discipline can easily defeat the regular army of the Qing court. One can imagine how weakened the Qing court's combat power is today.

There was no problem in entering the city, and the various buildings in the city also provided good cover for Wu Yan.

Along the way, Wu Yan successfully arrived at a mansion. The mansion that originally belonged to the richest man in Danyang City had become the residence of Yang Xiuqing.

This kind of character of greedy for enjoyment in the face of a big enemy made Wu Yan truly understand that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is unreliable no matter what.

It can be said that Yang Xiuqing, who has a high position and weight, is almost the same as Chen Xiuquan, so what about the others?
Based on the information obtained from those people in the Jianghu, Wu Yan sneaked out of Yang Xiuqing's house very quickly. Once he got here, he couldn't sneak in, because the sentry posts outside Yang Xiuqing's house were only three steps apart. , surrounded the courtyard with a full circle.

But even with such a tight defense, Wu Yan couldn't be sure that Yang Xiuqing must be in it.

Without breaking in, Wu Yan retreated temporarily and found a place to start setting fire. What kind of killing is killing if you don’t set fire?
The fire started with the wind, and amidst the turmoil, Wu Yan ran back to the outside of the house. On the roof, he found that none of the soldiers guarding the outside of the house rushed to the inside of the house, but all rushed to the adjacent In a house.

"It really is an illusion."

Wu Yan didn't rush into it immediately, but continued to wait patiently.

The fire was quickly extinguished, and the number of soldiers patrolling the compound suddenly increased, but the soldiers guarding the compound where Yang Xiuqing was located did not return to the previous compound.

This also meant that Yang Xiuqing did not dare to let these soldiers leave him without finding out why the fire broke out.

At this time, Wu Yan finally confirmed the location of Yang Xiuqing.

In addition, someone from the Taiping Army had already gone to the roof and was carrying torches to search and inspect, so Wu Yan decisively drew out his waist knife.

The moment he got up, his legs had already exploded with all their strength, and when the tiles were crushed, Wu Yan's figure had already rushed towards the courtyard.

Exclamations sounded.

"There are assassins!"

The soldiers and guards who were the first to discover Wu Yan had just yelled these three words, and Wu Yan had already landed on the roof of the main house in the courtyard.

Using Qian Jin Zhui's movement, the roof tiles smashed into the room together with Wu Yan.

Yang Xiuqing, who was panicking but pretending to be calm on the surface, felt a chill on her neck before putting on her clothes before the guards from the yard rushed in.

"Zhao Wuji!"

Yang Xiuqing recognized Wu Yan at a glance, and uttered angrily.

The guards beside him had also drawn their weapons, but they didn't dare to approach Yang Xiuqing because Wu Yan put a knife around his neck.

The guard soldiers rushing in from the door also looked at the scene in the room in astonishment, and when they heard Yang Xiuqing shout the three words Zhao Wuji, many of the guard soldiers subconsciously took a step back.

It can be seen how prestige these three words Zao Wou-ki have in this world.

"Tut tsk tsk..." Facing the encirclement of many guard soldiers, Wu Yan looked at Yang Xiuqing without any fear at all, and said, "You are really not afraid of death, how about this, I will give you a chance, you kneel down and beg me , I will let you go."

Of course Yang Xiuqing couldn't kneel down, even if he was very afraid of death, but if he believed Zhao Wou-ki's nonsense, then he wouldn't be able to become the Nine Thousand Years of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

"You can't run away." Yang Xiuqing put away the hatred on his face, and said expressionlessly: "Even if you can fly over the eaves and walk over the walls, there must be hundreds of musketeers and archers surrounding this place at this time, and there are countless more. Surrounded by thousands of elites."

Wu Yan chuckled twice, and asked: "Do you think it is more difficult to kill the general and capture the flag among thousands of troops on the battlefield, or is it more difficult to escape after killing you in this city?"

Yang Xiuqing was a little speechless.

There are no houses of any kind on the battlefield, and the combat objectives during the day are very obvious. If Wu Yan can come by night, there is a great possibility that he will leave by night.

"Zhao Wou-ki, you are a Han Chinese, are you really willing to be the running dog of the Manchus?" Yang Xiuqing changed the subject and said, "Don't look at the dog Emperor Xianfeng who named you a general under orders, but if the war goes against you, what awaits you is dismissal or even ransacking your home." Genocide. Now my heavenly kingdom is powerful. A few days ago, the British envoy even personally recognized our heavenly regime in Nanjing, and he will start trading with us. As long as you vote for me, I will ensure that you are truly under one person and billions of people in the heavenly kingdom. above."

Wu Yan laughed and said, "Is it under you or under Chen Xiuquan?"

This is Yang Xiuqing's territory, and the people around are all Yang Xiuqing's confidantes, so he naturally said without hesitation: "Of course they are under me."

Wu Yan continued to laugh and said: "I am the champion of martial arts, and my martial arts is the best in the world. The champion battalion under my command is invincible. Come and tell me, why should I be inferior to you?"

Yang Xiuqing rolled her eyes and said: "I can be under you too. To be honest, I have always looked down on Chen Xiuquan, a poor scholar, but his influence is not as good as him. And your martial arts and martial arts, Zhao Wuji, are number one in the world. People, you and I will work together and achieve great things. At that time, I will continue to be my Nine Thousand Years, you Zhao Wuji..."

Needless to say, Wu Yan was still a little moved.

If he really cooperates with Yang Xiuqing, he will definitely be able to control Yang Xiuqing to death. However, the problem is that what he needs to create is the Ming Empire, not the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

and so……

"Sure enough, there are no surprises."

After Wu Yan sighed, under Yang Xiuqing's horrified eyes, he waved his arm.

The precious knife that slashed through Yang Xiuqing's neck easily. At this time, Yang Xiuqing was still conscious, so he could clearly see that Wu Yan's other hand was reaching for his head. Then he saw his own body.

Amid the exclamation, Wu Yan soared into the sky.

It didn't fly very high, but it barely jumped out of the roof he just crashed, and then stepped on the roof again.

There was the sound of bowstrings and gunshots, and they sounded after a moment of astonishment, but at this time Wu Yan had already run wildly, and jumped up and stepped on the top of another house next to him.

Although the night was still dark, there were already hundreds of torches and lanterns lit up in the courtyard, which could barely be regarded as brightly lit.

However, Wu Yan's conversation with Yang Xiuqing just now was not entirely for any surprise, but for delaying time, letting everyone know that it was Zhao Wuji who came to assassinate him.

Sure enough, as he expected, the surrounding soldiers and guards, knowing that there was only one assassin named Zao Wou-ki, found him fleeing at this moment, and few of them dared to catch up. They only dared to shout or shoot cold arrows from a distance. .

None of these actions could stop Wu Yan from leaving.

When there was a complete commotion in Danyang City, Wu Yan had already found a weakly defended position, climbed up the city wall and escaped.

At this point, he no longer needed to hide his body. After snatching a horse, he just rode the horse and galloped wildly.

There was no pursuer behind.

Wu Yan, who was holding Yang Xiuqing's head, only felt extremely happy. Compared with rebelling to be the emperor and leading the army to fight, he preferred this kind of solitude and wanton use of absolute force.

However, for the sake of the mission, and for the sake of China in this world and this era, he still has to continue to build momentum for his anti-Qing and Ming-ming campaign and accumulate more strength.

When Wu Yan returned to the place where the Zhuangyuan Battalion was located, the generals who had been waiting anxiously for a long time cheered when they saw the head in Yang Xiuqing's hand.

Youcai also became Wu Yan's general of the military camp, the former general of the Taiping Army. When he saw Yang Xiuqing's head, he completely let go of some thoughts in his heart.

Zhao Wuji was able to assassinate Yang Xiuqing in the fortified city of Danyang by himself, so could he also go to Nanjing to assassinate Chen Xiuquan and others?

With such force, if they rebel under Zao Wou-ki, what will happen to them?
"The whole army is attacking." After putting on his armor, Wu Yan said, "In two hours, capture the Taiping Army camp in the north of Danyang City."

Three thousand musketeers from the Zhuangyuan Battalion and five thousand soldiers from the Military Battalion suddenly moved after Wu Yan gave an order.
