Chapter 16: Wisdom Provokes Han Qi
Following Shen Xilin's footsteps, Shen Xilin didn't say anything about the things in the hall of the Shadow Mercenary Regiment after he came out, Xiaohu and Wu Qi didn't ask very interestingly, but they were worried about Shen Xilin's safety, but let Shen Xilin talk for a long time, until they reached the yamen, the two gave up, reluctantly believed that Shen Xilin was fine, and walked into the yamen together.
Walking into the current official mansion, where is there the appearance of the ruins and broken temples last night, the whole is completely new, the floor is marble, the walls are burned bricks, although it is not expensive, but it is much better than the ruins of last night.
Pushing open the gate of the yamen, the figures of Jian Xin, Fu Sheng, and Liu Li, who first came into view, all looked worried and anxious, and when they saw Shen Xilin coming back, they hurriedly surrounded all of them, pulled Shen Xilin's sleeve and asked long and short questions one by one, and Shen Xilin was upset for a while.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine, let's get down to business first. Shen Xilin, who was annoyed and helpless, pushed everyone away and said in a throat.
When everyone saw Shen Xilin's appearance, they seemed to finally realize that they seemed to be a little too much, so they scattered a little embarrassedly one by one, quietly waiting for Shen Xilin's question.
Seeing this, Shen Xilin finally let out a long breath and asked in a deep voice: "I told a few of you when I went out today, waiting for the news of the Han City Lord, how is it, did he send someone?"
Hearing this, the three of Jian Xin glanced at each other, shook their heads, and Liu Li took half a step forward and said: "Lord Huiduke, we have waited until now according to the orders of the lord, and we have never seen the messenger of the city lord coming, but I have accidentally found many shadows." ”
"Shadow?" Shen Xilin heard this, closed his eyes and lowered his head, everyone seemed to feel a breeze passing by at a high speed, it was Shen Xilin who was luckily sensing the surrounding situation. After a moment of induction, the corners of Shen Xilin's mouth slightly hooked an arc, and he smiled.
Seeing this, everyone present looked at me and I looked at you suspiciously, but they still didn't know why, and finally Wu Qi stood up and asked, "Lord Duke, what should we do now?"
Shen Xilin smiled when he heard this, suddenly put his hands behind his back, turned around and walked in the direction of the inner hall of the official mansion, accompanied by everyone's puzzled eyes, Shen Xilin's voice floated leisurely: "Solve all the shadows." ”
"Yes!"
Under the order, everyone's bodies flashed, turning into five black shadows, and they went away at a high speed in the five directions of the government, all accompanied by bursts of fierce evil qi on their bodies.
......
I don't know how much time has passed, how long it has been, but I only saw the sun gradually moving westward, until finally the sun sets, the moon moves step by step, a beautiful bird flies leisurely in the sky, following the bird's flying figure to move little by little, and finally came to the city lord's mansion and stopped, stopping on the windowsill of the city lord's room.
On the windowsill, a hand gently took the bird, spread out the palm, and watched with a smile as the bird pecked at the bird food in the palm of his hand. If Shen Xilin was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that the owner of this hand was Han Qi, the city lord who invited him to the banquet last night.
Behind Han Qi, there was a person standing silently, this person was a lupine scarf, his face was like a crown of jade, and he was the Fang Shi who followed Han Qi with him, Li Jie.
I saw Han Qi fiddling with the bird in his hand, looking at Yue'er outside the window with an expressionless face, and he couldn't see what he was thinking in his deep eyes, so he heard him say in a deep voice: "Hasn't the person sent out come back yet?"
When Li Jie heard this, he sighed softly, shook his head weakly, and said, "In my opinion, they can't come back, this Duke seems to be really not an idle person." ”
Han Qi's eyes turned slightly cold when he heard this, only to see him muttering for a moment, and still said indifferently: "Then according to you, can he suppress the bandits of the Three Mountains?"
Li Jie smiled when he heard this, and said, "In my opinion, fortunately, it was not the Duke who died this time, but the assassin of the impulsive Han Cheng Mansion Lord." ”
Say. ”
Li Jie smiled, lightly slapped a feather fan, and said with a smile: "This duke is different from the previous domain chief, to make it clearer, this is the king of Yan appointed to replace the city lord, once the duke is assassinated in Los Angeles before he officially takes office, then this heavy responsibility is not something we can afford but can afford, if the king of Yan is angry, all of us will have to go around without food;
"Therefore, this lord must not deal with the city like he used to deal with the domain chief, but try every means to persuade him to go out of the city as soon as possible to suppress the bandits, and then, it is best to let him die on the way to suppress the bandits, so even if King Yan is angry, it has nothing to do with us, we can only go to exterminate the bandits, and we can just borrow the power of King Yan to destroy the forces of the three mountains, which is called killing three birds with one stone. ”
"Three birds, kill the duke, destroy the bandits, and one bird is ......"
Li Jie smiled indifferently when he heard this, and said, "Shadow Mercenary Group." ”
"Report!"
At that moment, as soon as the words fell, a tight voice sounded, and a halberd guard broke in, knelt on the ground and said: "Report to the city lord, the duke has visited, with five warriors, each with a big bag on his shoulder, I don't know what it is, the lord said that it was a gift for the city lord." ”
"Gift?" Han Qi was puzzled when he heard this, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, but Li Jie on the side understood something, and waved his hand: "Go down, take the Duke to the hall and wait." ”
The halberd-wielding guard retreated when he heard this, leaving Han Qi still pondering, and after a while, he saw Han Qi turn around leisurely, bowing his head and pondering, while asking, "Li Jie, what gift do you say he will give me?"
Li Jie smiled when he heard this, and said, "I know what kind of gift it is, but it won't help if I say it now, I think we'd better hurry over, right?"
Hearing this, Han Qi nodded, shook his arm slightly, let go of the bird in his hand, and raised his steps and went straight to the direction of the hall.
Following the footsteps of Han Qi and Li Jie, when they came to the hall, they saw that Shen Xilin in the hall was already sitting on top of himself, while tasting the fragrant tea brought by the next person, while waiting for Han Qi quietly, behind Shen Xilin, it was the five people of Jian Xin, each of whom had a big bag on his shoulder, obviously it was something inside, looking at Han Qi's doubts in his heart, but Li Jie took a closer look, as if he understood something, he just smiled and didn't speak.
Since he couldn't think of it, Han Qi didn't have the heart to guess anymore, but quickly changed his puzzled look, replaced it with a smile on his face, and ran to Shen Xilin with a very flattering look, and bowed his hand and said, "The arrival of the adults really makes the humble house shine." ”
Shen Xilin smiled when he saw this, and said indifferently: "Lord Han City is polite, I need to thank City Lord Han for my great kindness and virtue to visit here alive." ”
When Han Qi heard this, he pretended to be puzzled, and respectfully asked, "I don't know what Lord Duke means?"
When Shen Xilin heard this, his smiling face instantly froze, and a seemingly nonexistent killing intent was gradually revealed, only to see him stand up suddenly, look at Han Qi coldly, and said indifferently: "Why should the city lord of Han pretend to be confused? I just went out to play today, and as soon as I returned to the official mansion, I found that there were many more eyes around the official mansion, so I came here now to give these eyes as a gift to the city lord." ”
After that, Jian Xin and the others looked at Shen Xilin's signal, and they untied their pockets and poured them out, only to see that a few dead corpses were poured out of the pockets, and they all looked at them with one move to seal their throats, they were really dead and couldn't die anymore.
"I've inquired a long time ago, these people are dressed exactly like the bandits of the Three Mountains, but there are guards from the city lord in the city, how did these bandits sneak into Los Angeles, and they are so bold that they go to my official mansion to be presumptuous, if the city lord can't give me a reasonable explanation, hum!"
With a cold snort, the five people of Jian Xin were tense one after another, the judge's pen, the double-strand sword, all of them were ready to fight, and they were angry and pointed at Han Qi and the others.
Han Qi obviously understood, and when he squinted at Li Jie again, he saw Li Jie smiling lightly, as if he had already expected everything, and couldn't help but look slightly cold.
Han Qi felt the murderous aura of the five people in the heart of the sword, Han Qi pondered for a moment, and suddenly burst out, pulled out the sword at his waist, used enough strength, and spent several swords on the dead corpse as if he was crazy, and couldn't stop saying angrily: "Damn bandit, whoever he is a bandit, he is innocent of death, I will kill it sooner or later, sooner or later!"
After chopping, Han Qi angrily threw his sword on the ground, gently wiped the blood on his face, saluted Shen Xilin and said, "My lord atonement, this is the negligence of my guards, and I hope that my lord Haihan." ”
Shen Xilin smiled when he saw this, and said: "The bandit was hacked to death by the Han City Lord several times, and he became angry. ”
Han Qi smiled when he heard this, and said, "Okay, come on!
After a short time, I only saw the guards of the City Lord's Mansion busy, going in and out, and there were more than a dozen large boxes in the hall one after another, and Kenshin and the others opened it to see that it was a box of silver, a full fifty boxes, each with more than six or seven hundred thousand taels.
Shen Xilin smiled with satisfaction when he saw this, and waved slightly, under Shen Xilin's signal, the five people of Jian Xin carried out one box after another, and it was not until the last box was carried out that Shen Xilin bowed his hand slightly and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the city lord." ”
After saying that, he stepped out with his hands in his hands, leaving only Han Qi with hatred on his face, and Li Jie, who had an extremely complicated expression.
