"Huo Chang, what should we do with this Turkic dog?" Li Beitian, who rarely spoke next to him, asked with a grim smile. Their family belongs to Taiyuan. More than one hundred members of his family were killed by the Turks. He escaped by hiding in the cellar, so he was the most ruthless Turk, and would torture, humiliate, mutilate and kill the Turks whenever he had the opportunity.

"Wait a minute, don't kill me, don't kill me, Mr. Wantu is my brother, you hand me over to him, and he will give you a lot of ransom." The little Turkic leader became afraid of death , hurriedly shouted.

Everyone was a little surprised, Wang Junlin thought it was no wonder his bones were so hard, so he was not an ordinary boss, so he smiled slightly and said, "Since you are Wutu's younger brother, it will be even better."

Paused for a while, he looked cold, and said to Zhou Hu: "Zhou Hu, you take Jiang Mulang now, send this guy out, find a group of fighters from the Ge Dao Department, and find a way to pretend to be a Ge Dao There was a conflict with the people from the Department, and this guy was killed by the people from the Sword Department.”

Zhou Hu's eyes lit up, he nodded, tied the little Turkic leader's hands, gagged his mouth, and then hurried away with Jiang Muling, one left and one right.

What Wang Junlin said was killing two birds with one stone. The Turks only had 3,000 cavalry in total. The killing of Wutu's younger brother would definitely make Wutu furious and search the city for the murderer. This would greatly interfere with their subsequent actions. But if Wu Tu thinks that his younger brother was killed by a member of the Ge Dao Department, he will point the finger at the Ge Dao Department. Maybe there will be internal strife between the Turks and the Ge Dao Department. They will take advantage of this opportunity to rescue Dugu Moyu Naturally it is bigger.

…

…

It should not be too late, let alone deep in the enemy's belly, considering that if the enemy finds out, all the twenty people who came will hit the stone with eggs, so Wang Junlin decided to sneak into the prefect with Wu San and Wu Si The government rescued Dugu Moyu, while the others murdered and set fire to the whole city, causing chaos, drawing the enemy's forces, and covering them from the prefect's residence.

Wang Junlin, Wu San, and Wu Si entered the prefect's mansion for the second time at night, and they were familiar with the road. They easily avoided the patrolling soldiers of the three teams of swords and knives along the way, and came to the tile ridge of the residential area next to the prefect's mansion. Jun Lin suddenly felt that the blood jade pendant on his chest suddenly became colder, he frowned slightly, stopped, then glanced behind him inexplicably, and continued to sneak towards the prefect's mansion.

The three of them hid in the shadows of the corner of the wall, after a group of patrolling soldiers from the Sword Department passed the street in front of them.

The three of them leaped across the long street in a flash, and in the blink of an eye came to the high wall of the Taishou Mansion, and then sprinted along the wall for a few feet. It was still Wang Junlin who pressed his ear to the wall. The man was lying against the wall, glanced at the mansion, stretched out his hand and waved back, and then turned into the wall, followed by Wu San and Wu Si who also turned in.

The road map provided by the little Turkic leader emerged in the mind. The three of them avoided the patrol post all the way, and successfully sneaked outside the main courtyard of the prefect's mansion.

The three of them were lying prone behind a big tree in the garden in front of the main courtyard, staring at the wall and the entrance of the main courtyard. Wang Junlin frowned. The wall of the main courtyard is more than a foot higher than the wall of the prefect's mansion, which is a full two feet five. Even if he has professional climbing training in later generations, without the assistance of some equipment and tools, it is difficult not to alarm others. down to enter.

"Brother Wang, although the wall is high, we brothers can still get in. Why don't you go outside and let the two of us go in to save the third master of our family." Wu San whispered suddenly.

Although Wang Junlin knew that the two brothers were strong in martial arts, he couldn't help being surprised, wondering if the legendary lightness kung fu and agility really existed in this era?

Hesitating for a while, Wang Junlin shook his head and said, "Wait a minute, let's have a look first."

Through these days of contact, Wang Junlin discovered that although Wu San and Wu Si are highly skilled in martial arts, they are good at protection, desperate, and fighting. But they are not good at lurking and rescuing people. The most important thing is that the ability of the two brothers to deal with emergencies is questionable.

Although according to the little Turkic leader who was arrested earlier, except for him, Dugu Moyu, and a maid, no one is allowed to enter the main courtyard where King Boduo lives without his permission, so It stands to reason that there are only three people, Dharma King Boduo, Dugu Moyu, and the maid. However, looking at the gate of the main courtyard at this time, Wang Junlin felt a faint sense of uneasiness, and he was even more worried about letting Wu San and Wu Si in under such circumstances.

As the little Turkic leader said, two Turkic warriors stood guard on both sides of the closed gate, and a hundred Turkic soldiers slept in two wing rooms next to it.

Compared to the sleepy and sleepy state of the fixed sentries and floating sentries that they saw along the way, these two soldiers were as tall and straight as guns, with vigilant and conscientious looks on their faces.

Because the courtyard wall was too high, for Wang Junlin, the gate in front of him became the only entrance to the main courtyard, and there was no obstacle between the three of them and the two guards, and the two guards were always vigilant. Although the three of them are not weak, it is difficult to kill the two guards without making a sound.

Wang Junlin decided to wait for the opportunity, when the two guards made mistakes or were negligent.

As a top mercenary who is good at assassination and lurking, Wang Junlin has never lacked patience.

However, half an hour later, Wang Junlin found that the two soldiers were still motionless, which surprised him. Compared with other Turkic soldiers in the prefect's mansion, they were too dedicated! And as far as he knows, the ancient army did not have strict queue training like the later army, and had good self-control ability in standing and queuing, so the soldiers of the later army could stand still for a long time. But why is the Turkic soldier in front of him able to do this?

"These two Turkic soldiers are definitely not ordinary Turkic soldiers, maybe the hundred Turkic soldiers in the wing room are a bit special." Wang Junlin thought to himself.

He suddenly remembered that the little Turkic leader said that these one hundred Turkic soldiers were personally selected by King Podo. Could it be that this is the crux of the problem? What kind of power can make people do things that they can't usually do-faith, by the way, most of these hundred Turkic soldiers are faithful believers of the Nestorianism taught by this monk, and they may also be the legendary madman. believer.

Thinking of this, Wang Junlin's hopes for the negligence of these two soldiers suddenly decreased. Obviously, if he wanted to enter the main courtyard, he could only think of other ways.

He looked left and right and saw the small lake on the east side of the main courtyard faintly connected to the wall on the east side of the main courtyard. Move, gently crawl towards the small lake.

Climbing closer and taking a closer look, Wang Junlin was overjoyed that half of the small lake was within the main courtyard, which meant that the main courtyard could be entered from under the lake.

He crawled back behind the big tree and told Wu San and Wu Si about the situation, but these two guys actually said they couldn't swim. Wang Junlin secretly despised the unprofessionalism of raising dead soldiers in this era, and then whispered: "Then trouble the two brothers to meet the younger brother outside, and keep an eye on the hundred Turkic soldiers at the door by the way. The little brother is exposed, you must take action to entangle the hundred soldiers, and let the little brother escape."

Wu San and Wu Si felt deeply guilty for not being able to go deep into the main courtyard with Wang Junlin because they didn't know how to swim. A hundred soldiers are entangled, but my third master is bothering Brother Wang."

Wang Junlin said: "Don't worry, I will do my best."

After speaking, Wang Junlin crawled to the edge of the small lake again. Because he didn't know the specific situation on the other side of the lake, Wang Junlin was extremely cautious. He deliberately broke off a hollow plant from the garden, put it in his mouth, and quietly dived into the water.

The water in the garden was very clear. In the dark, Wang Junlin felt fish swimming around him. He couldn't see the underwater situation clearly, so he could only swim in the direction of the main courtyard, and then he swam to the main courtyard when he estimated. When he was under the high wall, he was blocked in his way.

Sure enough, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. Since the prefect who originally lived there was so afraid of death and built the courtyard wall so high, how could it be possible to leave this waterway under the lake.

Wang Junlin was blocked by an iron railing, and his heart sank, but he soon found a way.

He took off his clothes and tied them to two iron railings. He drew out his waist knife and stirred the clothes and began to rotate and stir. As time went by, the two railings began to move closer together. The width between them naturally starts to increase.

After more than 20 breaths, the width of the two railings on the side finally allowed a person to pass through. Wang Junlin was overjoyed, and slowly slipped through. One inevitably entered the water. However, he can still hold on to this infiltration time.

Drilling through the water channel and entering the small lake in the main courtyard, Wang Junlin didn't get out immediately. He slowly popped his head out until his two eyes came out of the water and then stopped.

Sweeping around quickly, I found that the lights in the main house in the middle of the main courtyard and the side rooms next to it were still on. Indeed, as the little Turkic leader said, there didn't seem to be any guards in the main courtyard. He stuck out his whole head and took a few greedy breaths.

At this moment, the door of the main house was suddenly opened from the inside, and two people walked out of the house.

Wang Junlin was shocked, and quickly retracted into the water, but before retracting, he did not forget to take the hollow straw tube out of the water, empty the water inside, and then put one end in his mouth, and exposed the other end to the outside.
