Chapter 727, Change of Tune

The moon was up in the trees, and in a county near Beijing, an inconspicuous courtyard was surrounded by the Jinling Guard. As the guards climbed over the walls, arrows shot out from inside.

"It seems this trip wasn't in vain!"

"Try to capture them alive!"

Upon receiving the order, all the Jinling Guard swiftly leaped into the yard, and soon the air was filled with the sound of fierce fighting.

Xiao Yeyang stood outside the courtyard gate, quietly listening to the commotion inside. When he heard a noise from the roof, he kicked a stone at his feet without even looking up, and in moments, a heavy thud followed.

Defu, without waiting for an order, swiftly left and soon brought back a middle-aged man who had been knocked unconscious.

By then, the battle in the courtyard had ended.

Xiao Yeyang entered the yard, and immediately a Jinling Guard came forward to report, "Sir, we failed to capture the leaders; they all took poison and committed suicide."
