At dawn, Xue Rengui and others came to Nancang Township, Gong County.

This is a hilly area, with a stream flowing around the foot of the mountain, and several small farmyards are scattered on the edge of the stream.

Seeing Xue Rengui and others coming, the captain of the special forces team responsible for monitoring pointed to the westernmost courtyard and said, "The hostages were detained there. There were 8 guards, 4 horizontal knives, 4 horn-removing knives, three soft bows, and one lifted a crossbow, all of which were standard equipment of the Tang army. There were two guards at the entrance of the courtyard, one at the entrance of the east wing in the courtyard, two in the east wing, and two in the east wing. There were two in the main room and one in the west wing. Every day before lunch, a carriage came to deliver supplies..."

Ma Ming and others saw the legendary telescope hanging around the neck of the team leader, and when they heard that the situation was so detailed, they couldn't help but admire him secretly. They thought to themselves: "This is the real professional."

However, what Ma Ming was most curious about was the telescope, and his eyes kept looking up.

When the team leader saw him, he felt secretly amused, so he took off the telescope from his neck and handed it to him.

Ma Ming took the telescope and looked on his eyes. He saw the big face of the team leader, which immediately scared him and almost threw away the telescope. The team leader whispered softly in his ear for a while before Ma Ming learned to use the telescope.

He looked into the yard where the hostages were held for a while. It was 150 steps away from there, and he could see the clear faces of the guards. He kept looking at it, feeling a little reluctant to return the telescope to the team leader.

It was nine o'clock in the morning, and the front view of the hostages was wide and difficult to get close. Behind were mountains and forests, and the terrain was relatively complex, making it easy to get close. Xue Rengui and Ma Ming discussed that in order to ensure the safety of the hostages, they decided to take action at night.

Suddenly, a sound of horse hooves came from a distance, and a man dressed in a boatman came over and headed straight for the yard where the hostages were held.

Xue Rengui asked, "Have you ever been such a messenger?"

The team leader shook his head and said, "No, this is the first time."

Xue Rengui felt bad, and he said, "It's a monster that is abnormal. You can't wait anymore, you must do it immediately."

He whispered to Ma Ming, and Ma Ming said, "Okay, that's it."

Xue Rengui’s premonition is really accurate.

This messenger was sent by Ma Wengui, a member of Luoyang. As soon as he entered the yard, he said to the guard leader: "Master Sima has an order to get rid of Miao Cuilin and his son immediately, find a place to bury them deep without leaving any trace."

After saying that, he said, "Give me a drink of water. Lord Sima gave me instructions and let me watch you finish your work before leaving."

The guard leader said, "I'm just waiting for you to come. In such a remote area, my brothers are so frustrated. I do it as soon as I say, and after finishing the matter, I'll go back to Luoyang City for some fun."

He called out, "Brothers, after working, I will be rewarded after finishing my work. Go back to Luoyang to go to Qifenglou for entertainment."

In the east wing, Miao Cuilin and his son were tied to pillars. They have been beaten many times these days. The two of them bit to death and didn't tell anything to the Prince Qi. However, these thugs didn't believe it and beat them from time to time.

The father and son were filled with resentment. They hated these evil people in the government and bullied them and the people for no reason. They hated the Prince of Qi, and hated him for why he wanted to come to him for no reason and let these evil people hate him. They also hated themselves, why didn't they tell the Prince of Qi what they knew at that time, and maybe he could punish these evil people.

In short, they are very regretful now, and the main reason is that they hate that they did not tell the truth to Prince Qi and asked him to punish these evil people severely.

The people outside talked without avoiding them at all. When they heard that they were going to be executed, Miao Cuilin said to Miao Qingyun: "I regret it. If I listened to you, I might not end like this today."

Miao Qingyun said, "Dad, I don't blame you. If you want to blame, it's also these evil people. This damn world."

At this time, the guard leader accompanied the messenger in. The guard leader said, "Don't blame us for you two, we have no grievances. This is the order of the adults above. If you want to blame, blame your own life for your hardship."

The messenger said, "What are you talking about with them? Hurry up and win them off, let's go back to Luoyang together."

Miao Cuilin sighed, closed her eyes and waited for death.

Miao Qingyun cursed: "You evil people who are killed in heaven will not die well. I curse you to thunder and die and go to 18 levels of hell."

The guard leader said, "Okay, stop scolding. I will reward you with all the corpses." Several guards took out a rope and put them around the necks of the father and son, trying to strangle them to death.

Suddenly, a shout came from outside the yard: "Don't run away, stop me." The sounds were all locals.

The guard leader said, "Wait a minute." The guards temporarily stopped their executions.

The guard leader and the messenger came to the gate of the yard and looked out through the crack of the door.

I saw a man dressed in a farmer outside holding a package in his arms and running towards him. Two constables behind him were chasing him.

"Stop, you little thief, I will catch you and peel you a layer of skin. Stop it quickly." The constables shouted and chased after him, so tired that they were so angry.

The guard leader whispered: "Be careful, search me for the guy."

The guards all picked up their weapons and guarded the gate.

At this moment, Xue Rengui saw that it was too late to arrive in the backyard in person, so he asked the team leader to send a signal to take action.

Several special forces members had long been hiding behind the yard. When they saw the signal from the team leader, they quickly approached the courtyard wall behind according to the plan. They set up a ladder and sent a team member to the wall. When the team member saw it, the guards were attracted to the front. He quickly got up the wall, reached out to pick up the team members and went up the wall together, then slipped down the base of the wall, and quickly approached the east wing.

When a team member saw his teammates go in, he waved the little flag in his hand and sent a signal to Xue Rengui and others.

Xue Rengui yelled: "Roll!" He led the special forces members and the soldiers under Ma Ming to rush towards the yard.

When the guard leader saw this situation, he knew something had happened. He hurriedly shouted: "The two ship owners are about to be defeated!"

At this moment, several team members had already arrived at the door of Dongxiang Room. They kicked open the door and rushed in.

The two guards in the room were caught off guard and were shot dead by the special forces members before they could resist. The special forces members left one to protect Miao Cuilin and his son. The rest of the team members attacked the guards in the yard.

The special forces members' first choice targets are those guards holding crossbows. They quickly shot out the crossbows and flying knives in their hands. As a result, they then waved the Tang sword to fight with the guards.

Although these guards were all good at it, they were vulnerable to the trained special forces team members. The team leader told them to keep a living, and their teammates were a little worried. Even so, in less than a minute, the guards were all subdued by the special forces team members.

When Ma Ming and others came to the yard, the gate of the yard was wide open, and the special forces team members were already escorting the prisoners and protecting the hostages!
