Chapter 24 Night Attack on Wanjia Town

The road at night is much more difficult to travel than during the day. When Yang Jing led his troops to Linwanjia Town, it was already 12 o'clock midnight.

The city wall of Wanjia Town is not high, only a little over 3 meters in some places, and is made of rammed earth and bricks.

In northwest Shanxi in winter, the lowest temperature at night can reach minus 20 degrees Celsius.

At this time, the lazy puppet army patrol had already gone somewhere to sleep.

Yang Lin and his team found a lower place and easily climbed over the city wall and entered Wanjia Town.

…

Let’s talk about Yuan Datou.

This person has two biggest hobbies: greed for money and lust.

So, after he returned to Wanjia Town, the first thing he did was to go directly to the second concubine's residence.

Wen Peng was so filled with hatred that he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night.

The second concubine was Yuan Shikai’s favorite woman, and wasn’t she also his favorite woman?

When Wen Peng thought of his beloved woman being pressed down by Yuan Datou, he became so angry that his teeth itched and he even wanted to kill him.

"Yuan Datou, I will let you jump around for one last day. Tomorrow will be the day your grandson dies!"

Wen Peng thought secretly in his heart.

“Pah, pah, pah!”

Just then, Wen Peng heard a knock on the door.

Originally, he usually lived in the barracks, but because of the appointment with Yang Lin, from that day on, he would go home every night.

Well, to be precise, today is the first night, because he spent the previous two days at his second concubine's place.

This was a property he had just purchased after he came to Wanjia Town with the army in order to conceal his tracks and facilitate his affair with his second concubine.

"who?"

"it's me."

Hearing the familiar voice outside the door, Wen Peng suddenly became alert. He quickly threw off the quilt, got up from bed, and ran straight to the gate without even putting on his shoes.

“Squeak!——”

When he opened the door, two familiar faces came into view. Wen Peng was as excited as if he had seen long-lost relatives. He said, "Captain Yang, you are finally here."

"Hurry, come in!"

Yang Lin was completely confused. Two days ago, this guy was worried and indecisive.

How come your stance has become so firm after just two days of not seeing you?

After entering the house and waiting for Wen Peng to explain the reason firmly, Yang Lin finally understood the reason.

It seems that as soon as Yuan Datou came back, he took possession of his woman.

Huh? Something seems wrong.

It is obvious that Wen Peng is the third party who interferes, so shouldn’t Yuan Datou be the one who is furious?

Yang Lin asked, "You mean, Yuan Datou is staying at his second concubine's place tonight?"

"Yes!"

Wen Peng nodded.

“That’s really great.”

Yang Lin was overjoyed. If Yuan Datou was at the battalion headquarters, he might have to do more.

Since he is in the second concubine's bed, things will be much easier.

Wen Peng observed Yang Lin's expression and saw something from his face. He asked happily, "Captain Yang, are we going to take action tonight?"

"Of course. Does Captain Wen want to delay it for another night?"

“No, no, no!” Wen Peng shook his head quickly, and then said excitedly: “Wait for me to put on my clothes, and then I will take you to kill that traitor Yuan Datou!”

…

On the other side is where the second concubine lives.

The light was on in the house.

Yuan Datou had already fought with his second concubine for four or five rounds, but he was still not sleepy and was still flirting with her.

"Jinlian, have you drugged me with some kind of magic potion? Every night, I can't help but want to crawl into your fox den.

I was so depressed during the few days I was in Datong."

"Hate……"

The woman spoke in a coquettish voice. On the surface, she was trying to please Yuan Datou, but in fact, she was thinking about Wen Peng.

Even though Yuan Datou attacks a lot every night, 10 times are not as good as Wen Peng's one time.

“Bang!——”

At this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open.

Yuan Datou was startled and turned his head to look at the door. When he saw Wen Peng and two other people rushing in from outside, he couldn't help but get angry and asked, "Wen Peng, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to take your life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Peng rushed forward with a quick step.

Before Yuan Datou could react, the cold dagger had already pierced into his chest.

“Puff!”

“Puff!——”

One knife...

Two knives...

Blood kept spurting out from the wound on Yuan Datou's chest, spilling all over the bed.

The second concubine was so frightened that her face turned pale. She curled up in the corner of the bed and even forgot to pull the quilt to cover her body.

Until now, Yuan Datou's brain is still in a daze, not knowing what exactly happened.

He turned his head with difficulty, looked at the Second Aunt with a confused look, then turned back to look at Wen Peng in front of him.

The response he got was Wen Peng's continuous stabbing and loud shouting.

"I'll let you sleep with my most beloved woman!"

…

Yang Lin leaned against the door frame and smoked, waiting for Wen Peng to vent his anger.

He walked into the room, picked up a piece of clothing from the floor and threw it to the second concubine, then patted Wen Peng on the shoulder and said, "That's enough, he's dead."

Wen Peng threw away the dagger in his hand that was still dripping with blood in a daze. His face was covered with beads of sweat and he was breathing heavily.

"Captain Yang, what should we do now?"

Yang Lin said: "To prevent the news from leaking out, unplug the telephone lines first, and then open the city gates to welcome the large army into the city."

"yes!"

Wen Peng nodded heavily, and then said to the second concubine: "Jinlian, you wait for me here. From now on, we can live together and fly together. We don't have to be sneaky anymore."

Yuan Datou's body was lying on the bed, and blood was all over the bed, the captives, and the mosquito net How could she dare to stay here alone? She immediately said:

"Don't... don't leave me alone, let me go with you."

Wen Peng looked up at Yang Lin, wanting to ask what he meant.

Yang Lin nodded and said, "Put on your clothes first."

After saying that, he turned around.

Soon, the second concubine put on her clothes and walked out of the room with Wenpeng.

Yang Lin said to Ma Gan who was standing beside him, "Platoon Leader 1, bring Yuan Datou's body with you. We'll need it later."

"yes!"

Ma Gan flashed into the room, but when he saw Yuan Datou's fat body, he couldn't help but feel troubled.

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Captain, can we cut off Yuan Datou's head?"

"also!"

Yang Lin thought that he only needed to use Yuan Datou to control the situation, so he agreed.

Then , under the leadership of Wen Peng, they unplugged the telephone line connecting with Qinghe Town, and then headed straight to the city gate.
