The so-called mountains are high and the emperor is far away. In Jiayuguan, General Hu is the local emperor here, so his mansion is very easy to find. In this town, compared with the surrounding Naxi houses, it is completely outspoken. In addition to the large scale, there are soldiers standing guard at the door.

After finding his residence, Zhao Yuan did not rush to find him. He also observed for two more days. General Hu usually went out in the morning and did not return to his residence until dusk. He stayed in Jiayuguan during the day, mainly training troops. It can be seen that this person is a person who is greedy for comfort because there is no war outside the border.

In addition, Zhao Yuan also carefully studied the defense in the mansion. There were many soldiers standing guarding on the periphery, but there were few inside. After all, he was the dominant side in Jiayuguan, and the mansion was close to the barracks. It only took a moment to mobilize troops to support him.

However, although the outer area seems to have a tight range, there are no loopholes. After two days of observation, Zhao Yuan found that in addition to the daytime, soldiers will change shifts during the third update. When changing shifts, the outer area looks extremely tight, and there will actually be a lot of gaps. He can take advantage of this opportunity to sneak into the General's Mansion.

On the third night, Zhao Yuan quietly left his residence, took advantage of the night to run towards General Hu's residence, and then patiently waited until the third update.

When the third update was announced outside, the soldiers also started to change shifts as usual. Jiayuguan is actually very peaceful now. The soldiers who are used to peace are no longer as vigilant as before even when they are guards. Therefore, Zhao Yuan easily stayed in. In the darkness, he seemed to be a shadow, which was hard to detect at all.

He avoided the soldiers on the periphery, and there were fewer posts on the inner side. However, there were many rooms in the yard. General Hu had five wives and concubines in the whole town. He didn't know that he was sleeping in the room of the wife and concubines that night.

Now the entire mansion has rested, and even the maid who serves has rested. It is difficult to catch someone to ask. The most important thing is that the rooms in front of you seem to be the same, and there is no difference at all.

"How to find this?"

Zhao Yuan sighed in his heart, looking around blindly, but when he saw that a black shadow flashed on the eaves not far away, and he immediately jumped down.

"There are actually others!"

Zhao Yuan thought to himself, and immediately chased after him carefully. After a while, he arrived at the periphery of a small courtyard and sneaked into the corner of the wall. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw a black shadow lying by the window.

After a while, he bent down and sneaked into the door, where to start prying the door.

Zhao Yuan didn't think that this person's purpose was the same as that of him. He came to General Hu for friendly negotiations, so he picked up a piece of dead branches and shot the man with his fingers.

Don’t underestimate this small dead branch, Zhao Yuan’s finger bounced was a slight whistling sound.

The man immediately became alert, turned around and waved the dagger used to pry the door in his hand.

"Click!"

The dagger cut the dead branches into two pieces, but his hand was also shocked. The dagger in his hand almost flew away. A hint of horror flashed through his eyes under the black scarf.

And at this moment, Zhao Yuan had already drawn out his sword and stabbed him straight.

When the man saw Cheng Yaojin coming out of the way, he immediately left the door and ran towards Zhao Yuan. The two of them quickly fought.

Both of them didn't say a word, and they were ruthless, but they showed no mercy. They wanted to kill each move.

The garden is not big and is planted with all kinds of flowers and plants. When the two of them fight, they have to avoid these flowers and plants carefully, so as not to make a sound to attract patrolling guards outside. With the guards here, they can be surrounded like an iron bucket in just a moment.

This is equivalent to limiting the performance of the two, so they fought to the point of being equal.

After the two of them fought silently for dozens of moves, he suddenly took several steps back, jumped gently, jumped up to the eaves, stared at Zhao Yuan, and suddenly raised his feet in a row.

The roof tiles immediately flew towards Zhao Yuan, and several more flew towards the wall.

"Oops!"

Zhao Yuan cried in his heart.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

...

The tiles hit the wall and made a crisp sound, so clear in the darkness.

Almost instantly, a whistle came from outside the courtyard, and torches lit up in the darkness. These soldiers who protected the here reacted very quickly.

In just this moment, the doors entering and leaving the courtyard were completely blocked.

How to escape?

Zhao Yuan thought to himself.

In just a short time, the defense on the periphery will be tighter, and in that case it will be difficult for me to escape. If I run around in this mansion, I am not familiar with the terrain and will be easily discovered.

In a short period of time, several thoughts had echoed in Zhao Yuan's mind. Facing the soldiers who were quickly surrounding him, he decided to take the risk.

He quickly ran to the doorway, reached out and pressed the door bolt, and exhaled his internal force.

"Click!"

A light sound came from inside, and the door bolt had been broken.

Zhao Yuan slipped in without any hesitation and immediately closed the door. The moment he closed it, a group of soldiers rushed into the yard with torches in their hands.

A faint fragrance filled the room. Zhao Yuan quickly closed his breath, pulled the door bolt over a little, and still put it on.

The man had already pried open the door before, so the door bolt was no longer in its original position. The long section at this moment was still enough to tie the door.

After doing all this, Zhao Yuan quickly looked at the room in front of him.

Like the most numerous houses at this time, this is an outer room, which is used for guests on weekdays, while the inner room where you rest is separated by bead curtains, and then there are beds, wardrobes and other items in the house.

There was no way to hide people outside, so Zhao Yuan immediately slipped into the house and hid under the bed.

As soon as he hid in, Zhao Yuan heard a clamor on the door, and then he heard someone shouting: "There is a scent in the house, please pass it on to the doctor!"

Immediately afterwards, footsteps ran into the house from outside the house, and with a squeak, the window was also opened. The fragrance of the fragrance did not cause much harm to people, and the best way to deal with the fragrance of the fragrance was ventilation.

At the same time, the candles in the house were also lit.

Through the gap under the bed, Zhao Yuan saw several pairs of feet in the house.

At this moment, someone said, "Go up and see how the general and the wife are?"

As a subordinate, even if you worry about the safety of your general, you have to consider the current situation. After all, there is still a wife lying on the bed.

"yes!"

A timid voice agreed, and his feet in blue embroidered shoes approached the window, pulled open the mosquito net, and shouted: "General! Madam!"

"General, Madam!"

...

After shaking for a while, a thick man's somewhat confused voice came from the bed: "What's wrong?"

"General, my subordinates and others just heard something was going on in the yard, so they hurried over and found someone was intoxicated in the house! I guess an assassin sneaked in!"

"Oh..., can the assassin be found?"

"Not yet, but my subordinates have asked someone to strengthen patrol. As long as the assassin is still in the mansion, my subordinates will definitely find him. Then General, do you want to change another room now?"

"No need! Such a big disturbance, even if you have all the skills at this moment, you won't dare to make trouble again! This little incense does not pose a threat to the general, you all retreat."

"Yes, General!"

...

The sound of footsteps soon came from outside, and then the sound of footsteps gradually faded away and finally disappeared.

The window was opened at this moment, and the fragrance in the house quickly dissipated. Not long after, the fragrance could no longer be smelled in the house.

"Squeak!"

The window was closed again and the house was once again in silence.

Zhao Yuan let go. The only thing he had to consider now was how to sneak out after the defense outside relaxed.

At this moment, a crisp sound suddenly came from my ears.

The wooden board in front of the bed suddenly shattered, revealing a bright spear tip, which was only five inches away from his face.

"Come out, I know you're hiding under the bed!"

A thick and low voice came.

Exposed?

Zhao Yuan was shocked. After hesitating for a moment, he came out of the bedside, gently patted the dust, bowed his hand, and said, "Caomins meet General Hu!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Yuan also looked at the person in front of him carefully. He was burly and bearded, holding a bright spear in his hand. The most eye-catching thing was the long scar on his face.

General Hu took back his gun, thrust into the ground, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why did you come to my mansion secretly in the middle of the night?"

When Zhao Yuan heard this, a little strange came to his heart, and he said in confusion: "Don't the general think Caomin is an assassin?"

Since he knew he was hiding under the bed, why didn't the soldiers take him away? And how did he know that he was hiding under the bed?

General Hu snorted coldly and said, "I have been on the battlefield for twenty years. There are so many people who want my life. I have never seen any means? Do you really think that little bit of incense will cause me to be caught?"

Zhao Yuan immediately understood and said, "Then the general knows everything that happened outside before?"

In other words, he knew everything clearly from the person he organized to fight with him, then went into the house and hid under the bed, but he just didn't point it out.

General Hu said: "If I hadn't known that you thought you still had the chance to stand here and talk to me?"

As he said that, he sat down on the stool casually and said, "You came to me in the middle of the night. What is your purpose?"

Seeing this, Zhao Yuan said, "The so-called wise man does not say secret words, Caomin came to visit the general tonight because he came for Xia Zizai!"
