Chen Zixiu was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, and her eyelids seemed to be glued together, which was unusually heavy. The man was in a hurry, and took the cold tea and poured it in his face, although it was April, and the days were getting longer, but the night was still cold. Chen Zixiu sneered, tried to open his eyes, squinted slightly to look at the surrounding environment, and saw a black shadow flying towards him.

Before the body could react, it was hit by a black shadow, which turned out to be clothing.

He scrambled to put it on.

It was very noisy outside, there were constant shouts and scolding, and the sound of metal weapons hitting each other, buzzing endlessly, and Chen Zixiu's chaotic brain gradually sobered up.

He wiped the water from his face, "What's going on?" While putting on his shoes, he saw that there were only himself and Wang Ying in the room, and the guard Zhou Quan, who was hiding behind the window and kept putting cold arrows and throwing hidden weapons outside, and no one else was there.

Wang Ying held a dark and lightless long sword in his hand, his eyes were gloomy, and he smiled mockingly: "Probably we are dressed too rich and conspicuous, and we are worried about attracting thieves." ”

Chen Zixiu lowered his head and looked at his clothes, they were very ordinary! The squires are richer than they are! Then I thought about it, and it dawned on me! That's the opposite! They looked no different from ordinary travelers, how could they go all the way without going wrong, and they were robbed tonight? This is only twenty miles away from the capital city, and there is a barracks stationed outside the city, and the officers and soldiers will attack and exterminate at any time when they receive the news, how can there be such a brainless bandit!

The only strange thing is that they had stayed in Chenxi County before, and the county government of Chenxi County just lost an important booklet!

Is this - being suspected by the government?

Could it be Xiao Qiang's secret?

Chen Zixiu angrily pulled out his saber, walked to the door, and was about to go out to fight, but was stopped by Wang Ying.

"Childe, save it. Don't go out and cause trouble for the brethren. ”

Chen Zixiu took a breath, gritted his teeth, and understood in his heart that the other party was telling the truth. It's not that he has no power to tie the chicken, but his ancestors also started by making war money, and the descendants of the Hou Mansion don't say how powerful they are, at least they have to learn to ride and shoot. However, compared to the emperor's secret guard, it is simply impossible to watch.

I had to stupidly take back the three-foot saber that was used for decoration more than for practical purposes, and sat back in a daze.

"Where's Wen'an?" It took me a while to remember that there was another important person. That guy is a snitch, I only know that he is very good at light skills and bone shrinking skills, and I haven't heard of good martial arts.

"I don't know. As soon as the thief moved, he didn't know where he had gone. Wang Ying snorted angrily.

Chen Zixiu felt that his head was big. In case Wen An runs away, how can he explain to the emperor when he goes back? There's no peace of mind for a moment!

The sound of fighting outside intensified, and it seemed that the number of people pouring into the courtyard was increasing instead of decreasing! If this continues, when will it be the end? No matter how powerful the guards are, they have physical limitations! Is this trying to trap them with wheel warfare?!

Chen Zixiu was anxious, "Why don't you tell me my identity?" ”

The emperor's people can't be exposed, but he's different. The identity of the marquis of Jing'an should be able to play a little deterrent effect. Jidong County, a hundred miles east of Fucheng, is where the Chen family's home is located, and it is also a stop on his trip. If the bandits outside were really pretending to be officers and soldiers, they would give them a way out of face for the Hou Mansion and the Chen family, so as not to cause casualties among the emperor's people, which would not be easy to clean up the aftermath.

Wang Ying hid behind the door and watched the battle for a while, agreeing to Chen Zixiu's proposal. Having come here, those who should know also know almost the same, there is indeed a situation in Qilu where the number of fields is concealed and the harvest and taxes are underreported, and even the population is concealed. How the emperor deals with it is the emperor's business, but it is not worth it to lose their manpower here. No further down will definitely find anything, everyone knows that the hole in Ji'an Mansion is the largest and the most shady, but the government is alert, and it is impossible to say that the account books have been burned.

Since the outcome of risking and not risking will not change much, why cause casualties on our side?

Seeing that they agreed, Chen Zixiu stood by the window and shouted loudly at the bottom: "I am the son of the Marquis of Jing'an, if you accidentally injure this son, can you think about how to bear the anger of the Hou Mansion?" ”

Although the voice was not loud, all the people present were martial arts practitioners, and they all listened to it more or less, and they couldn't help but be stunned. The Dark Guards immediately withdrew from the clash and retreated to the area around the main room.

"! Lao Tzu said that the Chen family side branch is just a young master, when will he have this ability to summon such a good hand! He actually hurt more than a dozen of my brothers! ”

A loud voice like a drum sounded in the small courtyard, which shook the branches and leaves of the trees.

Chen Zixiu blocked his ears uncomfortably.

"Big brother, don't listen to his nonsense, maybe it's a false shot dragging us so that he can run away from behind!" A slightly sharp voice said substantially.

"That's right! You said that you are the son of Marquis Chen, but you have a certificate! Another voice sounded, and one after another someone muttered discontentedly.

"They killed so many of our brothers, this matter can't be left at that!"

"That's right! Let them pay for their lives! "Death!" "Fight with them! Just leave that scholar's life to Hou Ye! ”

Chen Zixiu didn't expect that his identity couldn't let the other party stop, and he couldn't help but be confused.

Wang Ying's face sank and he sneered. "Who gave them the guts? I'm tired of it! He glanced at Zhou Quan, who was still a little hesitant. If possible, they really didn't want to reveal the identity of the Secret Guard. As long as the government knows that the capital has begun to pay attention to the secret affairs here, it is likely that the emperor will be in a passive position, and it will not be so happy to clean up these moths at that time, and there will be fish that will slip through the net.

However, these people obviously wanted to put them to death, leaving only Chen Gongzi to hand over!

Put together? Or is it a dive?

The two sides were in a stalemate, and there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps outside the post house, as well as the neighing of horses and the shouts of officers and soldiers, and then a long string of torches were lit outside the wall, surrounding the entire post house courtyard!

"Lord Zhang, you're finally here! The small shop was suddenly attacked by thieves tonight, and begged Mr. Zhang to be the master and severely punish the murderers! The innkeeper ran to the leader with tears and crawls, and told the thief about his evil deeds.

"Are there any guests inside?" Mr. Zhang asked.

"Originally, there were. But...... The thieves did not know when they had crept in, and they quarreled with the guests. Xia Guan overheard a few words, as if he was dissatisfied with taking more over there and less here. Total Soldiers! They're sharing the spoils! By the way, when the lower official checked in the group of guests, he saw them carrying several boxes into the guest room! That must be swag! ”

Swag your sister!

Chen Zixiu couldn't wait to fly out and tear down the bones of the villain who was framed!
