Chapter 3 In order to capture the thief, he is in danger of being killed

Han Xiaoyue imposed military law on the spot, and after killing two soldiers who violated military rules, he rode on his horse and continued to patrol the city defense. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just as he had just walked a few steps, he touched his waist and found that a jade pendant was missing.

"Huh? Where's my jade pendant? Just thinking about it, I touched my chest, but found that my wallet was gone.

"Eighty percent of them have met thieves!" Thinking about it, Han Xiaoyue couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in her heart, "You actually stole it from me." I guess it was while I was questioning. At that time, there were many people, and they were actually exploited! ”

Han Xiaoyue thought as she walked, and saw a young man in a light cyan coarse cloth shirt in the crowd, whispering to someone in the corner. And what he was holding in his hand was the jade pendant he wore around his waist.

"Good boy! I didn't run away after stealing, and I actually made a deal right under my nose! Thinking about it, Han Xiaoyue turned over and dismounted.

In order not to startle the snake, Han Xiaoyue instructed her relatives: "Listen." Wait here, and I'll go and return. ”

Several entourages looked at each other, not knowing what the little general wanted to do, but they didn't dare to ask more, so they all nodded.

Han Xiaoyue hung the Yanling spear on her horse, only holding the short knife in her hand, and slowly approached the man in green clothes.

The man in Tsing Yi was obviously not an ordinary little thief, and he actually felt that a murderous aura was approaching him. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced in the direction where the murderous aura was coming, and saw Han Xiaoyue holding a short knife in his hand, wanting to walk quickly.

Seeing this, the man in Tsing Yi didn't have time to say anything to the buyer, so he picked up the jade pendant and ran to the depths of the corner. Han Xiaoyue hurriedly chased after him.

It turns out that this is a deep alley in Jiangyuan City, which can be described as extending in all directions. People who often live here sometimes get lost, let alone strangers who have just arrived. The man in Tsing Yi turned around a few times and ran away without a trace. Han Xiaoyue turned around a few times, but he also disappeared.

"Oops, not only did the jade pendant not be recovered, but I myself was lost." Han Xiaoyue thought to herself, and slowly tried to find the same way back.

This deep alley can be described as a hundred turns and thousands of turns, and the width is only more than two people wide, and the seven turns and eight turns make people scratch their heads. The walls on both sides are made of dark stones, and some of them have grown moss in the cracks of the bricks over time. Walking in this deep alley, it gives people an unusual sense of unease, as if if they stay for a long time, they will be trapped here, which makes people suffocate.

Just as he was trying his luck and trying to find a way back, a stone suddenly flew and hit him on his back armor with a "bang".

"Who?" Han Xiaoyue turned around suddenly, the short knife in her hand in her hand, and looked around vigilantly.

There was no one around.

Han Xiaoyue looked up at the sky and the roof, but she didn't find half a figure.

"Damn! How dare you tease General Ben? Han Xiaoyue shouted.

At this moment, four men in green clothes suddenly flashed out of the alley, wearing green scarves and unable to see their faces clearly. Holding a big stick, he surrounded Han Xiaoyue in the middle.

Han Xiaoyue realized at this time that she had entered the den of thieves.

"Bold! This general is Han Xiaoyue, the general of Shu State! The little thief actually dared to attack General Ben! Han Xiaoyue shouted. After all, it is impossible to determine the number of the other party now, and he wants to use intimidation to scare them first, and then find a way to get out.

It's a pity that these people are not scared and are still standing there.

Han Xiaoyue thought that if she wanted to fight here, she had to decide the winner and loser. But who knows, the four masked men in green clothes did not make a move, as if they were waiting for him to make a move.

"Damn!" Han Xiaoyue held the short knife in her hand, motionless, and thought to herself, "General Ben doesn't have time to entangle with them here. If it really doesn't work, I'll make the first move! ”

Thinking of this, suddenly a gust of wind blew over my head. Han Xiaoyue looked up and saw that another masked man in green clothes flew down from the room and stood outside the encirclement. Smell carefully, and there is still a faint scent of flowers and plants in the air.

After standing still, the masked Tsing Yi said: "Yohe, for a jade pendant, you don't even want your life?" ”

"What, it's a woman's voice?" Han Xiaoyue thought to herself, "Could it be that the leader of this gang of bandits is a woman?" ”

"You little general, stupid, how can you lead thousands of troops? Jiang Yuancheng handed over to you, a young general, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it at all! ”

This remark angered Han Xiaoyue. I don't care if he's a man or a woman, it's really unbearable to humiliate himself like this!

Han Xiaoyue shouted, "Hmph! Don't talk nonsense, steal my jade pendant, and use strong words? Defend Jiangyuan City, my father and I have our own countermeasures, and I can't help you, a little thief! ”

"Hahaha!" The masked Tsing Yi laughed and said, "Why, can't you stand this little bit?" I'm just going to say that you, you can't even take care of a jade pendant, how can you control the entire city? ”

After hearing this, Han Xiaoyue pointed the short knife at the eyebrows of the masked Tsing Yi and said, "Hmph! If the general can't hold this city, who will? ”

Unexpectedly, the masked Tsing Yi said even more arrogantly in his tone: "It seems that the little general is not a local. Haven't you heard of Qingyunzhai? Let me tell you, Qingyun Village is already gearing up and down, ready to defend Jiangyuan City. With your officers and soldiers, you can't be relied on at all! ”

The five words "unreliable at all", the masked Tsing Yi deliberately dragged his voice heavily, wanting to humiliate the young and frivolous little general in front of him.

"Qingyun Village?" Han Xiaoyue thought to herself, "It's been nearly a month since I came here, but I haven't heard of this Qingyun Village place at all. ”

Just when he was stunned, the masked Tsing Yi continued to boast: "I didn't expect you, as a general, to be so short-sighted. Tell you, Qingyun Village is on Qingyun Mountain in the northwest of Jiangyuan City. Our village owner is a well-known righteous man on the rivers and lakes! ”

Before he finished speaking, Han Xiaoyue suddenly realized: "'Our village master'? It turns out that you are from Qingyunzhai! Saying that, Han Xiaoyue sneered, "I am a famous and decent family in Qingyunzhai, it turns out that I am doing some petty theft!" ”

"You ......" The masked Tsing Yi was speechless by him, so he had to change the subject, "Okay, since you look down on Qingyunzhai, then you might as well try your skills!" ”

With that, the masked Tsing Yi rushed forward with an arrow step, jumped into the encirclement, and pulled out a pair of silver-white iron rings from his waist.

This pair of iron rings is silver throughout, and the ring blade is extremely sharp. There are several circles of pink coarse cloth bands wrapped around the hand to prevent slipping. Two phoenixes were carved on the ring, lifelike.

The pair of iron rings shone in the sunlight, which really shook Han Xiaoyue's eyes. One was not paying attention, and the iron ring was already approaching in front of him.

Han Xiaoyue couldn't dodge in time, and her helmet was hit by the masked green clothes and fell to the ground. Even so, he was very glad - if he couldn't dodge, I am afraid that at this moment, his head would have been cut off.

Han Xiaoyue raised the short knife and fought with him.

Because Han Xiaoyue's weapons were not very competent, she was forced by the masked Tsing Yi to recruit her, and it was very difficult. After a few rounds, Han Xiaoyue has been at a disadvantage. The iron ring in the masked Tsing Yi's hand was like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, beating him back and forth.

In the process of fighting, Han Xiaoyue once again smelled the fragrance of flowers and plants on the masked Tsing Yi. Recalling the feminine voice of the masked Tsing Yi just now, he could basically conclude that the masked Tsing Yi in front of him was a woman.

"Am I going to be defeated today at the hands of a bandit woman?" While parrying, Han Xiaoyue secretly thought in her heart, "The enemy is now, I think I, Han Xiaoyue, did not die on the battlefield, but died in the hands of a woman!" ”

Although the masked Tsing Yi seemed to be deadly, it did not mean to kill Han Xiaoyue. Although every move is pressed step by step, it is only to the point.

"General Han!" Suddenly, a shout came from the other side of the alley. Immediately afterward, there were a lot of hurried footsteps, and it sounded like there should be more than one person.

"Reinforcements have arrived!" Han Xiaoyue suddenly came to her senses.

"Master, the officers and soldiers are here, let's go quickly!" A man in Tsing Yi who surrounded Han Xiaoyue said to the masked Tsing Yi.

"I found it here!" The masked Tsing Yi said, put away the iron ring in his hand and said, "Little general, I won't play with you today!" Protect the people of Jiangyuan City! With that, he jumped to the roof and fled.

Seeing this, Han Xiaoyue hurriedly chased after her. But his light work was not good, and he couldn't jump on the roof at all.

Just when the masked Tsing Yi looked back at him, the masked green scarf suddenly loosened, and fell down with a "swish".

"Master, your veil!" The man in Tsing Yi reminded.

The veil of the masked green coat suddenly fell, and he was frightened. Originally, he was looking back at Han Xiaoyue just now, but he hurriedly turned his face at this moment, for fear that Han Xiaoyue would see him.

But at this moment, Han Xiaoyue also saw the masked face of Tsing Yi. Sure enough, he confirmed his opinion - this masked Tsing Yi is a woman.

This woman is unusual, she is the daughter of Long Jiu, the owner of Qingyun Village, Long Yan.

Long Yan is well-behaved and sensible by nature, kind and considerate. It's just that I occasionally like to go to the city to play, and sometimes I will play too much and attract the attention of the government. Looks sweet and lovely, and meets all the criteria for judging beauty.

And the iron ring in her hand, Long Jiu called it the Galactic Iron Ring. It is said that this pair of rings originally did not exist, but was born on the day Long Yan's birth, Long Jiu's weapon, the Scorching Sun Ring. The weapon gave birth to another weapon, which really startled Long Jiu, and he believed that Long Yan must be an extraordinary girl.

Watching Long Yan go farther and farther, Han Xiaoyue picked up the veil on the ground, put it in front of her nose and sniffed it, sure enough, it was the smell of flowers and plants.

At this moment, Han Xiaoyue's personal entourage ran over. As soon as he saw Han Xiaoyue, he immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted: "General Han, my subordinates are late, please forgive me!" ”

"Hmmm! Get up! Han Xiaoyue secretly hid the veil in her breastplate.

After a personal retinue stood up, he took a step forward, looked at Han Xiaoyue and said, "General Han." We see that you haven't been back for so long, and we think you've probably gotten lost in these alleys. Are you in trouble? ”

Another personal attendant picked up Han Xiaoyue's helmet on the ground and handed it back to him.

Han Xiaoyue nodded and said, "I was besieged by a group of bandits just now, but fortunately, you came to scare them away. Otherwise, today is really a lot of bad luck! As he spoke, he put on his helmet and continued to ask, "Have you ever heard of Qingyun Village?" ”

The relatives listened, looked at each other, and then shook their heads.

Han Xiaoyue was right. It is estimated that it is just a gang of rogues, who casually lied and made up a name. This so-called Qingyun Village is simply nothing.

At this time, a personal entourage suddenly said to Han Xiaoyue: "General Han, my subordinates almost missed a big incident. I just got a military order from General Han, saying that I would let you go to Qi Mansion immediately, and there was something important to discuss. ”

After hearing this, Han Xiaoyue immediately tidied up her armor, waved her hand and said, "Okay, then let's rush to Qi Mansion immediately!" ”

Han Xiaoyue didn't know that the reason why Han Tao rushed to ask him to go to Qi Mansion was because he implemented military law on the street.

The news that a military general killed two soldiers who violated military regulations on the street soon reached Qi Yuanzhen's ears. This matter can be big or small, and if it is not handled well, I am afraid that it will either cause a mutiny among the soldiers or cause dissatisfaction among the people.

For this matter, Qi Yuanzhen hurriedly found Han Tao to discuss the solution.

Qi Yuanzhen's mansion is not magnificent, with red walls and gray tiles, and the decoration is not gorgeous. There is a big plaque at the door, with two words bronzing: Qi Mansion. Entering the door, there is a medium-sized courtyard, and on the left hand side a corridor leads to the backyard, in which five guest rooms and one main room of its own are neatly seated; On the right-hand side is a row of low kitchens. Directly across the door is the living room. The backyard garden is full of green bamboo, like a green sea bamboo forest. In ancient times, the ministers who had integrity liked to plant these green bamboos to prove that they were honest and upright, and Qi Yuanzhen was no exception.

After a while, Han Tao quickly whipped up his horse and came to Qi Mansion from the post house. Qi Yuanzhen was sitting on the main seat of the living room at this time, his face full of gloom.

"General Han has arrived!" With the announcement of the family, Han Tao strode into the living room.

Qi Yuanzhen hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hand, and said, "General Han, are you here......?"

Han Tao waved his hand and said, "Lord Qi, the dog has no way to discipline him, and he has caused a big disaster to the adult, and I will let him make amends later!" ”

Qi Yuanzhen sighed: "Alas! People say that the tiger father has no dog son. In fact, it's not all to blame for Ling Gongzi. Since General Han arrived with reinforcements, there have been quite a few similar incidents in the past month. I came to you this time, not to ask the son of the guilty order, but to come up with a solution together. ”

Han Tao nodded, sighed, and said, "Even so, the dog didn't have a sense of proportion, and it disturbed the people, and it really caused trouble." If you don't care about this, you are magnanimous. I will punish myself severely! As he spoke, Han Tao glanced at him, "For the frequent military-civilian conflicts in the city, I don't know what kind of solution the adults have?" ”

Qi Yuanzhen sat down slowly and shook his head: "I'm also struggling with nothing to do." Jiangyuan City was originally a solid treasury. The sudden increase in the cost of an army of 30,000 is indeed a bit uncomfortable; Again, these 30,000 troops live in the city, and there will inevitably be some friction with the local people. The only way to avoid this is to minimize the opportunities for soldiers to come into contact with civilians. ”

"Oh? What does that mean ......"

"I want to ask General Ji Han to see what the plan is?"

Han Tao understood that he wanted to let himself live outside the city with his soldiers. However, once this happens, it will inevitably provoke the dissatisfaction of the soldiers. It is not easy to travel thousands of miles to get here, and if they are still turned away, I am afraid it will affect the morale of the military.

But, that being said. If the words are explained, it will also make Qi Yuanzhen even more dilemma, and it will not be conducive to the hearts of the people of Jiangyuan City. When you do the math, it's really difficult.
