The matter of the post house should not have disturbed Li Yu at such an important time, but today all civil and military officials are in the palace, and the patrolling soldiers outside have limited power.Moreover, the post house was the foothold of several city lords. When the post house was attacked, the city lord's people were more or less damaged, and the outsiders couldn't handle it, so it was inevitable that they would be stabbed in front of the emperor.

When everyone saw the soldiers rushing in, they knew that something was wrong. After hearing his words, the city lords who lived in the inn all stood up. Shan Chongfei quickly asked, "What's going on?"

The matter was urgent, everyone was worried, no one had time to worry about Shan Chongfei passing the emperor and speaking first.

"We don't know what happened. People from Yizhuxiangqian Posthouse suddenly came to the city defense camp for help. They said that a group of people wearing black crow masks appeared in the posthouse. They killed anyone they saw. They were powerful. The manpower left by the city lord helped to resist, but they still couldn't beat them. The commander of the city defense battalion led people to fight them and made the group retreat after a lot of effort. Afterwards, the commander counted the casualties, and the situation of the posthouse and other city lords was fine. , but City Lord Liang..."

The guard's words were not very clear, but everyone knew what he meant.Liang Jian only brought three guards, and the disparity in the number made the gap in their strength infinitely widen.

Jiang Shengxue's face turned pale, and she suddenly grabbed Mu Xi's hand, her eyes were covered with water, the guard's words reminded her of Wen Yao who was staying behind, and Jiang Shengxue felt a sharp pain in her heart when she thought of him being seriously injured now.

Feeling that Jiang Shengxue was uneasy, Mu Xi took her hand and lightly wrapped her shoulders to comfort her in a low voice.Liang Jian glanced this way and cupped his hands to Mu Xi: "Princess, please help take care of Sheng Xue."

Mu Xi nodded, Liang Jian then turned to Li Yu, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm a little worried about the situation in the posthouse. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay at the palace banquet any longer. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

When such a thing happened, not to mention Liang Jian, the others didn't have the intention to continue to stay. Li Yu granted their request to let everyone leave the palace first, and then sent people to the post house to investigate.

Jiang Shengxue also wanted to leave with Liang Jian, but was stopped by Liang Jian's gaze. Liang Jian walked up to Mu Xi and said, "I heard what the guard just said is like a black crow. The post house is not safe now. Over there We will stabilize the casualties first, and you will bring Shengxue over later."

Hearing the name of the black crow, Mu Xi couldn't help frowning. This organization is notoriously cruel and mysterious. It's really unimaginable to come to Wangcheng to attack the posthouse on New Year's Eve.

"Is it safe just the two of you? How about I send a few people with you." Mu Xi was very worried. It was not convenient to mobilize forces in the palace, but he could still mobilize a lot of people because of the background of the Mu family.

Liang Jian thanked Mu Xi for his kindness, and analyzed: "No, His Majesty has already sent someone to take over the matter, we just need to cooperate. Although the Mu family is powerful, it is not a good time to stand out at this time."

The attack on the posthouse was no small matter, and any disturbance at this time would set him on fire.Mu Xi understood this truth, and only said one word of caution.Liang Jian nodded, and quickly disappeared into the night with Mei Zhenghan.

In addition to the four city lords who lived in the post house who rushed to the post house non-stop, people from several other forces also received different news after the palace banquet, and they left in a hurry with gloomy faces.

On the contrary, the Mu family and the Chen family didn't change much, but they were a little worried about the situation in the posthouse. Li Yu left Mu Cheng and Chen Rushen to discuss the matter, and the Eldest Princess took Mu Xijiang Shengxue out of the palace.

On the way, they met Wang Boyang who was in a hurry. The subordinate who came to pick him up didn't know what he said to him. His face was so gloomy that he could drip water. He flicked his sleeves angrily and got into the car. The air pressure around him was frighteningly low.His subordinates were trembling with fright, their faces were pale and fearful.

Wang Boyang's frame disappeared quickly, and Mu Xi took a few more glances at the direction he left before taking Jiang Shengxue to the posthouse.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. The blood at the gate of the post house paves a stone ladder, and the officers and soldiers coming and going are carrying the wounded.The courtyard where Liang Jian and the others lived suffered heavy losses. It could be seen that they had gone through a fierce battle. The guards A and B were all injured. At this moment, Mei Zhenghan was helping them bandage.The posthouse invited a doctor, but there were too many injured people and insufficient manpower. Mei Zhenghan and the others knew how to bandage the wounds, so they took the medicine by themselves and didn't bother others.

Before Liang Jian left, he told Wen Yao not to make himself too miserable. Wen Yao listened to it, and his body was covered with skin trauma, which looked scary but was actually not life-threatening.With his upper body naked, he asked Liang Jian to help him apply the medicine, and said in the voice of only the two of them: "City Lord, according to your order, only one hidden guard was left to leave, and all the others were taken care of. The Night Tower has already retreated without leaving any traces." , Unintentionally they are helping with the aftermath."

The so-called surprise attack was nothing more than man-made. Liang Jian had long wanted to clean up the people who were stalking near the posthouse, and that's why today's attack came about.The so-called black crow attack was nothing more than an unintentional and nightless person pretending to clear the surrounding eyeliner and divert everyone's attention here.

The notorious Black Crow's true identity is a mystery. Liang Jian, as the only survivor who has dealt with them, knows their situation fairly well, and she can pretend to be very easy.

Leaving a hidden guard was just an introduction to Huoshui Dongyin, and Liang Jian had no plans to let the black crow take the blame for it.

"Do you know who the hidden guard is?"

"I know, Miss Xianqiu is helping to direct the operation tonight, and specially told us to keep people from the Di family."

Tingyin Pavilion has many eyes and ears, and Xianqiu heard about what happened at the gate of the palace today, so when he moved at night, he deliberately left behind the hidden guards of the Di family.

Liang Jian was stunned for a moment when he heard the answer, and suddenly laughed, Xian Qiu is really capable.It doesn't really matter to the forces staying outside the post house to keep an eye on either side, but there are still subtle differences when it comes to seriousness, especially after they competed with the Di family in the palace tonight, keeping the Di family is exactly what he wants.

"You guys did a good job." Liang Jian, his subordinate, was not stingy with his praise. He bandaged all the wounds for Wen Yao, and asked some questions about his actions.Xianqiu directed well, and the clues left behind pointed to the Di family, so no one would suspect Liang Jian and the others.

Liang Jian believed in Xianqiu's ability, and didn't hear any mistakes. His goal had already been achieved, and his cunning plan was well executed, so there was no need to stay any longer.

"Li Yu has already sent someone to investigate. The rest of the matter has nothing to do with us. You should take good care of your injuries. I guess we will leave Wangcheng and go to the south of the Yangtze River in just two days." Liang Jian told Wen Yao to pretend for two days. sick.

Wen Yao had his own measure, hummed and said: "Those corpses will be found soon, our injuries are trivial, and the city lord can go and busy with your business."

Liang Jian nodded, leaving Mei Zhenghan to take care of the three of them, and went next door to check on the casualties of Shan Chongfei's guards.

On Shan Chongfei's side, because Liang Jian told him to take special care of him in advance, the casualties were not serious, only one or two minor injuries.

Shan Chongfei was listening to his subordinates report what happened just now, when he saw Liang Jian approaching, he hurriedly got up to greet him, and asked, "Why are you here? How are those guards doing?"

Liang Jian glanced at the situation in his yard and said, "They were all injured, but luckily their lives are not in danger. I have sent them down to recuperate. How is your situation here? Do you need my help?"

It's just a polite way to say that they will help, because Shan Chongfei's strength is much more complete than theirs.

But Shan Chongfei still understood his intentions, and said: "There is no major damage on my side, you can ask your subordinates who did it?"

Liang Jian nodded, her face was a little ugly, and she said in a deep voice, "It's the black crow. I have dealt with them before, and I can't admit it wrong. It's just that I didn't expect them to appear in the post house. There should be nothing here that can attract them. Things. Unless they are looking for me to seek revenge, after all, I made them suffer a lot in Jiangcheng."

When the black crow attacked Jiangcheng at night, although Liang Jian disappeared for unknown reasons and then appeared in western Yunnan, his deployment of Jiangcheng still made the black crow suffer a lot.The black crow will take revenge, and it is not impossible that Liang Jian will come after Liang Jian again.

Hearing what he said, Shan Chongfei's expression became serious, and he was a little worried about the safety of Liang Jian and others.After all, there are a lot of black crows, and there are only six of them. Except for one Jiang Shengxue who doesn't know martial arts, the other three are still injured.

Shan Chongfei sighed, and was thinking about whether to send some people to Liang Jian's side, when someone came in at the door and announced that he had found the whereabouts of the black crow, but the situation changed, and the leader asked them to go out to discuss.

Liang Jian and Shan Chongfei looked at each other, and followed the people to the front yard.

The smell of blood in the yard has not dissipated yet, the steward of the post house and the other two city lords are already waiting in the yard.The commander stood aside with an anxious expression on his face. When he saw the two of them coming out, he coughed lightly to draw everyone's attention to him, and said in a deep voice, "My lords, the commander has found the group of black crows that attacked tonight, but..."

However, the commander did not continue, but signaled Liang Jian and the others to go out with him.

The red lanterns outside the post house gave off a hazy halo, casting an ominous red light on the cold stone slab.The commander stood under the eaves, and the soldiers of the city defense battalion were carrying the corpses, which were arranged in rows in front of the post house.The commander's eyes were dark, exuding a ferocious luster like a beast in the dark night.

"But they are already a bunch of dead people." The commander finished what he hadn't said in the yard just now, and turned sideways to let everyone see the scene outside.

The soldiers of the city defense battalion went to chase the group of black crows, and saw their dead bodies before they fought them. There were signs of fighting on their bodies, but the deadly thing was poison.Some people didn't want them to go back alive, so they simply cut the grass and roots.

Black night clothes, a crow-like mask, the corpse on the ground is already dead, and the cold wind blows the air-conditioning, making people shiver untimely.

Liang Jian was not surprised by this result. Standing beside Shan Chongfei, his handsome face was hidden in the darkness, and no one could clearly see the expression on his face.

The black crow was originally a plan made out of nothing by him and Xianqiu, and these people lying below are all forces that have been stalking recently.Wuxin led people to poison them and put them in black crow clothes, then Xianqiu sent people pretending to be black crows to attack the post house, leaving enough clues for the commander to find these corpses when they retreated.

The hidden guards were not able to see the light, even if the leader took off their masks, they would not be able to recognize who these people were, but their master must know.This was a warning from Liang Jian to them, and it was also Liang Jian's reward for their recent hospitality.

As for how the hidden guards of the Di family who were brought into misfortune would be suspected by everyone, it was not within the scope of Liang Jian's consideration. Di Minghao aroused his murderous intentions, and he was going to deal with him first before leaving Wangcheng.

The steward of the post house and the other city owners were very angry, and they asked the commander to investigate the matter thoroughly, but as Liang Jian expected, these people also showed new faces after taking off their masks.The commander didn't have a clue for a while, so he had to take the corpse back to the government first, and report the results to Li Yu before making a decision.

The incident continued until midnight, when the commander returned to the palace, the turbulent night seemed to calm down, but the undercurrent had just begun to surge.

There are too many people who are destined to not be able to sleep this night.
