Chapter XXIX: The Exchange of Hostages
East of the city, Qi Province.
The subordinates helped Lin Qinghuan bandage his wounds, and the two flying knives he had just pulled out were placed beside them, still dripping blood.
Qi Fugui was also a little confused, it was not difficult to save Lin Qinghuan, but the difficult thing was to investigate the back hand, and I don't know who he provoked, after all, he was a businessman, and he had no foundation in Yunshui Country, and the only people who could use it were these dozens of servants. If you get involved in this fight, it's really hard to get along.
Fortunately, there is only one pursuer, and it is not a troublesome matter, and if it is dealt with, no one should suspect it.
For Lin Qinghuan, Qi Fugui still has a certain amount of trust. After all, he is a businessman, and his skills in recognizing people will not be bad, the wisps of kindness on Lin Qinghuan's body can be seen from his eyes, in troubled times, it is not easy, if he is really a killer who kills innocents indiscriminately, he can't pretend to have this heartfelt look.
In any case, I won't be able to get a good night's sleep tonight, and the housekeeper has already gone down to arrange tonight's defense, and what the real situation is, we will have to wait for the news to receive tomorrow to judge.
As for whether to go back to the Red Sleeve Country directly, or to watch a snow at the Tianchi Fengzen Festival, I can only make another plan.
When Lin Qinghuan said that he had assassinated Zhu Longsheng, Qi Fugui was startled and immediately ordered all his shops not to open tomorrow.
On the contrary, Qi Xuan, the girl in colorful clothes, did not have a too surprised expression, maybe she saw some omnipotent heroes in the novel, and she didn't have much feeling about the current situation, that is, when the subordinates pulled out the flying knife on Lin Qinghuan's body, they showed a painful expression.
Tell the outside world about the tasks assigned to him by the organization, according to the rules of the reef, a low-level killer like Lin Qinghuan can only die.
Of course, the assassination of Zhu Longsheng is still on the street, and it is no secret in front of everyone's eyes, and it will spread all over the streets and alleys early tomorrow morning.
Qi Fugui calculated the direction of the situation according to Lin Qinghuan's intelligence, this self-made shopping mall billionaire, if he didn't have that rich body shape and dress, he would still have a bit of a celebrity.
According to Qi Fugui's calculations, if Zhu Xian's vanguard cavalry launched a surprise attack, within a month, it would be able to penetrate directly into Dianzhou City, and more than 70 cities west of Dianzhou City would be cut off by cavalry and broken by Zhu Xian's army. Otherwise, if the defenders of various cities converge in one place, it will also be a great force.
The 150,000 forbidden troops in Dianzhou City can't leave Dianzhou too far, and if other accidents happen and they can't divide their troops to rescue Dianzhou City, they will lose everything.
The 100,000 defenders on the northern border must also be stationed in tens of thousands, otherwise it will be difficult to prevent the two countries adjacent to the northern border from taking advantage of the chaos to intervene.
Yunshui Country and the Red Sleeve Country have always been friendly, the border is almost defense, and there is more trade between the two sides, but the Red Sleeve Country Naval Army can be regarded as the world's first-class, infantry and cavalry, even if Qi Fugui is an authentic Red Sleeve Country person, they all feel that it is quite bad, more than self-preservation, and the attack is weak, even if the Red Sleeve Country agrees to send reinforcements, it will take at least two months to reach Dianzhou City.
I'm afraid that Zhu Xian won't have a hard fight with your forbidden army at all, bypassing the main force of the forbidden army and encroaching on the south, and then forming an encirclement of Dianzhou City, at that time, I am afraid that Yunshui Country will no longer be able to return to the sky.
When the emperor of Yunshui Kingdom was young, he was also diligent in political affairs, even if there were no outstanding political achievements, but thanks to Zhu Xian's blessing, the border defense was stable, and he did not suppress the businessmen of the red-sleeved country too much, and it was also considered to have created a prosperous scene, but it was a pity that he was mediocre in his later years, and the corruption in the court was not investigated.
The prince is working hard, but unfortunately he has the heart to govern the world, and he has no ability to control it, if he is a state assassin, he can also benefit the people, but the position of the prince, once it is not handled well, he will offend the king and the ministers.
The crown prince, who gathered like-minded people and tried to change the law, was accused of forming a party for personal gain and exceeding his authority and tyranny.
The first assistant of the current dynasty, who supported half of the Yunshui country, was the teacher of the three princes, in order to continue the glory of the family for another generation, and tried to ensure that the three princes sat on the position of the next prince, but unfortunately the three princes had no intention of political affairs, even if they held a lot of authority in their hands, many big and small things, they were still accustomed to asking the former teacher.
The Seven Princes, who studied in the Chaolu Academy in the north, returned to Yunshui Country not long after their study tour, and they still had no foundation in the court.
Qi Xuan, the girl in colorful clothes who didn't know when to hold the sword in her arms, showed a trace of curiosity, a trace of longing, and a trace of timidity in her eyes.
Now this situation, staying in the capital of Yunshui Kingdom, life and death are unpredictable, if Qi Fugui was young, he would naturally not let go of such business opportunities, once the war started, there were ways to make money everywhere, but now the daughter has not yet left the cabinet, the son is young, not enough to be alone, the wealth earned in decades has long been enough, there is no need to take such a risk.
The day after tomorrow, Qi Fugui planned to pack his bags and return to the Red Sleeve Country tomorrow, but he was pitiful for Qi Xuan, who had come all the way to see the snow in Tianchi, and had to travel back a long way without seeing a single snowflake.
Of course, Lin Qinghuan had to leave before dawn, and before leaving, Qi Fugui said a word, "If one day in the future, there is no place for you in the world, go to the Red Sleeve Country to inquire about Qi Fugui, I have a place for you here!"
Lin Qinghuan hugged his fists and thanked him!
The housekeeper took Lin Qinghuan out of the back door, and not far away, Qi Xuan, a girl in colorful clothes, held a sword with one hand and held her hands in front of her chest.
A cold wind blew out of the house, making Lin Qinghuan shiver.
It's fucking cold.
Dusk Spring Pavilion, I don't know if I can go back, but if I don't go back to Dusk Spring Pavilion, there is really nowhere to go, Lin Qinghuan thought about it, and still walked in the direction of Dusk Spring Pavilion.
There was some dead grass on the side of the road, and it was already covered with frost, and it seemed that there were signs of snow.
Lin Qinghuan wrapped his clothes tightly, the wound was in the cold, and the pain was even worse, if it weren't for the good gold sore medicine from Qi Fugui's family, plus the fact that he had used his own luck to heal his injuries for two hours last night, these two flying knives with barbs could make Lin Qinghuan suffer for a long time.
Under the cover of stratus clouds, the dawn was later than before, and under the darkness, only the eastern sky, faintly exuding a glimmer of light.
Around the corner, Lin Qinghuan's eyes were dark, he was beaten violently, and the right hand hidden sword was instantly stabbed, only to find that the person who came was a cool breeze wearing a white veil.
Anyway, Lin Qinghuan had long been accustomed to the sudden beating of the cool breeze without any reason, so he didn't care, and followed this cool breeze lord who was all over the country and the city, and got into a carriage.
The carriage drove into a building complex, which seemed to be a single-family courtyard, but each courtyard was connected by a passage, winding and twisting, and a lot of plantain and other vegetation were planted along the way, which was very hidden.
Liang Feng drove in person, parked in a separate courtyard, signaled Lin Qinghuan to enter, and turned to leave. The little crab hidden in the shadows did not stop it, but it did not appear.
Lin Qinghuan pushed the door directly into the house, and the three of them were drinking, and it was coral, prawn and red fish that had been separated for a long time, "Yo hey, Uncle Cicada has arrived, the little ones, don't hurry up and get drunk!"
In the end, it was the prawn himself who brought a chair to Lin Qinghuan, "Come on, Uncle Cicada, try the green ants that I stole from the restaurant in this hero, this is not something that ordinary people can drink." ”
"Speaking of this kid, it's really not a fuel-efficient lamp, that day I came to eat dog meat hot pot, I have to wonder if he is someone's son-in-law......" Before the prawn finished speaking, the veiled Moon Shadow pushed the door in, and everyone was silent for a while, "Get ready, go out to do things in a quarter of an hour, coral, you will take care of your injuries, this operation is in charge of the autumn cicada, and the prawn red fish will assist from the side." ”
When you go out to do things, you have to prepare in addition to the Hidden Arrow Hidden Sword, but also to disguise, and sometimes you will also carry some other hidden weapons or poisons.
This operation is an exchange of hostages, and the two little girls in the southeast and northwest are still in the hands of others.
The prawn took Lin Qinghuan to a small room, where three people were tied up, sealed and blindfolded. did not use torture to obtain information on them, three for two, it can be seen that Moon Shadow attaches great importance to the two little girls, after all, the person who is next to Moon Shadow Cool Breeze should be a confidant.
One of them was the stunned teenager who found the southeast in the Twilight Pavilion that day! If Lin Qinghuan rashly broke the siege that day, maybe it would be the end of the southeast and northwest now.
Drive to the Twilight Pavilion and when you arrive, the sky is slightly bright.
In the small rest pavilion, there was no one, "Release people!" The prawn stepped forward and kicked over a table, shooting secret arrows in several directions in an instant, and the red fish instantly stepped forward and pulled the prawn back, blocking the sudden arrows with a table.
Lin Qinghuan caught a short arrow with his right hand, threw it casually, and nailed it to the wall on the second floor, this time almost used up his current eight-layer internal force, after all, he was the person in charge of this operation, and he couldn't lose the first scene!
The prawn was a little annoyed, and brought the hostages in one by one and threw them in the hall of the small rest pavilion.
Everywhere in the Xiao Xie Pavilion, dozens of people appeared, with light crossbows in their hands aimed at everyone, well-trained.
On the second floor, a tall woman in palace clothes appeared by the railing, looking down at everyone with her hands behind her back.
Lin Qinghuan recognized her, one of the top Oiran in the Twilight Spring Pavilion, and she could earn full applause when she danced with one hand in the Xiaoxi Pavilion.
"What if I don't let it go?" the palace woman's voice was clear and her tone was contemptuous.
The prawn dragged the stunned teenager up, stabbed out the right hidden blade, and pressed against the boy's throat, with a slight force, and a little blood oozed from the boy's neck. Redfish dragged the two of them up and grabbed their necks one by one.
"Do you think I will care about the life or death of a few of them, since they have entered the reef, their lives no longer belong to them, and they must have the consciousness of dying at any time, your Lord Moon Shadow, just like back then, is still such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, after so many years, she still can't learn the rules of the reef, go back and tell her, it's okay to release people, take her head in exchange!" The palace woman's words made Lin Qinghuan a little shocked, and she didn't know how to deal with it.
Murderous, a murderous aura that chills everyone's backs!
A sword broke through the air from outside the door, stabbing directly at the palace woman standing on the second floor, and the little sword fairy in white who appeared at some point took the palace woman into his arms in an instant, and bounced the empty long sword with his two fingers slightly bent.
Moon Shadow, who also appeared in the Little Pavilion, made a one-handed move, the long sword roared, and when it returned to Moon Shadow's hand, Moon Shadow shook a sword flower, pointed at the white-clothed little sword fairy and the palace woman on the second floor, and said, "My head is here, do you dare to come down and take it?"
The sword white clothes let go of the frightened little bird and said to the Moon Shadow: "Why is the Moon Shadow Hall Master so angry, does he have to fight with the reef endlessly, wouldn't he live up to the Valley Lord's years of nurturing grace?"
Moon Shadow stared at the white-clothed little sword immortal and said, "I don't need to talk nonsense about my business, if you don't let people go, the Dusk Spring Pavilion will disappear today!"
"Since the eldest lady has spoken, as a subordinate, how can there be any reason to disobey the order and let the person go! By the way, the valley master asked me to bring you a message, he is waiting for you in the Valley of Hundred Flowers!" Jian Baiyi waved his hand, and several women behind him dragged out of the southeast and northwest who were also blindfolded and gagged.
The prawn red fish went up to take the person, took off the blindfold and the thing that sealed the mouth, and the two little girls did not see obvious wounds on their bodies, but their faces were pale, and they couldn't stand steadily, and they said with a dying breath: "Lord Moon Shadow, we, we didn't say anything!"
Seeing this, Moon Shadow turned to the prawns and the red fish and said, "Call me!"
So Lin Qinghuan took over the southeast and northwest two, and the prawns and red fish punched and kicked the three of them on the ground, looking like this, they were beaten to death!
The white-clothed little sword fairy didn't speak, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.
Moon Shadow sheathed her sword, touched her head to the southeast and northwest, and walked out of the Twilight Pavilion first.
Lin Qinghuan hurriedly helped the two little girls in his arms to follow, and before leaving, the prawns did not forget to spit on the ground.
