Dongfang Qingxuan was slightly startled, pursed his lips but did not answer. Xia Chuqi didn't wait for him to answer, sneered again, pointed to the dead man in black on the ground, and said lightly in affirmative words, "They have the accent of Jingshi, and they are killers from Jingshi." Tell me, who's going to kill me? ”

"The court is going to change, isn't it?"

Almost subconsciously, she felt a chill in her heart.

Now at this juncture, what does it mean that Emperor Hongtai sent Dongfang Qingxuan?

Overseer? As far as Xia Chuqi knows, the supervising army is generally the emperor's favored ministers, temporarily appointed to represent the imperial court to assist in military affairs, and at the same time to supervise the generals, specializing in the audit of merit and punishment and punishment, which is very powerful.

Dongfang Qingxuan still just smiled, "Miss Seventh is too worried, this seat doesn't have the time to stare at you." This seat came from Beijing to serve as the supervisor of the Northern Expedition at the behest of His Majesty. ”

"Dadu, you have been eyeing me for a long time, but you deliberately delayed coming until this time, what is your intention?"

Furrowing her brows, she sneered.

Yes, Dongfang Qingxuan, who was supposed to be in Jingshi, would appear in Jizhou, which originally surprised Xia Chuqi. It was also a surprise that these strangers in black wanted to kill her. What's even more unexpected is that the man in black wanted to kill her, but Dongfang Qingxuan saved her. At least that proves that he didn't want her dead.

She has never said anything different from others, which is a "absolute". These words are no exception, Dongfang Qingxuan was slightly stunned, + one + this ~ read + novel + ybdu A complicated smile passed on his lips, but his tone was as soft as ever, "That's right, it's really sandwiched." Otherwise, why did this seat happen to appear? ”

"Unless your brain is caught in the door."

Xia Chuqi was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, and rolled his eyes at him.

Dongfang Qingxuan was not in a hurry, and sat on the chair with a smile, "What if I say it's me?" ”

"Okay, I'll ask you, then you say."

Xia Chuqi saw the men in black fall one by one, and glared at him angrily.

Dongfang Qingxuan smiled again, "There is nothing in this world that Jinyiwei doesn't know, you can ask this seat." ”

Xia Chuqi gritted his teeth, "Stay alive, I want to know who they are." ”

"Are you alright?"

Dongfang Qingxuan smiled at the corner of his lips, watched her slowly approach, and did not answer her words directly, but asked her with a smile with a suspicious concern.

"Governor, are you trying to kill your mouth?"

Xia Chuqi was in a hurry, shouted, and quickly ran over, looking at Dongfang Qingxuan.

"Wait—"

For a while, the light of swords and swords, the shouts of fighting, filled this small room. The people in black are all good at martial arts, not like ordinary robbers and bandits, but the Jinyi guards around Dongfang Qingxuan are not only handsome, but also capable people with strong martial arts.

"Yes, Grand Duke." Several brocade guards quickly made a move, and their movements were extremely fast. But the man in black naturally doesn't want to die, and it's human nature to let go and fight for his life.

"Killed."

Raising his hand and gently straightening the sleeves of his robe, Dongfang Qingxuan did not draw his knife, but only said two words in a soft tone and a smile.

And those black-clothed men who assassinated were really not ordinary people, as soon as they saw Dongfang Qingxuan appear, there was a trace of desperate fear in their eyes. Almost instantly, I wanted to take the road and escape. But Dongfang Qingxuan blocked the door with a smile and groaning, where could they flee to? They looked at each other and exchanged glances, and they confronted Jinyi Wei without saying a word.

He seemed to be smiling, but Xia Chuqi felt that he had seen a ghost and couldn't say a word.

"Hearing your plea for help, this seat rushed from Jingshi."

The big red flying fish suit floated in slowly from the door like firelight, with his flamboyant and charming attitude. Who is that person with a shallow smile who is not Dongfang Qingxuan? Behind him, there are also several brocade guards in brocade robes, all of whom are handsome.

Then she froze gorgeously.

She was slightly stunned and looked at the door.

In fact, she didn't have a "fire bolt" in her hands at all, but it was expected that if these people knew about her, they must know her "deeds" on Danwei Street at the beginning, and it would be good to bluff them. Sure enough, those people paused when they heard this. She smiled and was about to take the opportunity to escape from the door, when the man in black at the door suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, splashing three feet away. Then his tall body threw himself forward, and he fell to the ground with a "bang".

"Come on, come on, try Lao Tzu's 'Fire Thunderbolt', let you all become fried pigs today, and invite all the people in the inn to eat roast pork in a while."

The leading man in black was guarding the door, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he shouted at the other people. Obviously, they will not give up until they achieve their goal. Xia Chuqi knew that it was not easy for one person to deal with these people, and he was nervous, but he pretended not to care on his face.

"Up!"

Seeing this, the other black-clothed people were stunned for a moment, and quickly pulled the scarf to cover their eyes, but they covered their eyes, how could they fight?

The speed of her shot was extremely fast, and the two black-clothed men who rushed in front of her didn't expect her to suddenly sprinkle the medicinal powder, and the exposed eyes just happened to win the bid, only to feel the stinging pain, and immediately lost the steel knife in her hand, covered her eyes and squatted and groaned.

"Silly fork, who fights and still plays hand-to-hand combat?!"

"Brothers, let's just say that this girl is cunning, and in speed—" The short man in black narrowed his eyes, stopped inking, roared, and threw himself in her direction. Xia Chuqi sneered, his palm was raised, and the medicine powder mist sprinkled over.

"Whether it's a heads-up or a group fight, you choose."

As soon as the lights in the room went out, several black-clothed people were shocked, and drew their knives with a "bang", followed by someone lighting up the fire sickle, but at this time, on the seventh day of the summer month, he was only wrapped up, standing there barefoot, with a smile on the corner of his lips.

"The person who can kill Lao Tzu has not yet been born, so it depends on you?"

As soon as they heard this, the two black-clothed men who walked in front of them almost subconsciously turned around, but Xia Chuqi took advantage of this moment to quickly boil the hot water in the bucket, and burned the candle flame on the desk not far away. In the darkness, she quickly pulled her clothes over her body and sneered.

"You're here, save me—"

This sentence reveals a lot of information. It seems that someone wanted her life, and the person who wanted her life not only knew that she was a woman, but also knew her identity. Who was going to kill her? It's not far away. Zhao Mianze? Summer asks autumn? Shatinde? Dongfang Qingxuan? Amur? The names in her mind skipped one by one, and seeing that the two men in black who were hitting the head were about to pounce on her, her eyes narrowed, and suddenly her eyes widened, looking behind them, and screaming.

His voice was not high, but Xia Chuqi heard it all in his ears.

"Boss, don't fucking talk nonsense with her!" Seeing that the man had been talking to her non-stop, the other short man in black was not very impatient, so he pulled the man and said in a low voice, "Let's kill her quickly and go back to the errand." This woman is cunning, let's not follow her way. ”

"Little Lady ......"

"Damn it?" Xia Chuqi's shoulders shrank, as if he was frightened, he looked around, and softened his voice, "Big brothers, you see that I am in the bucket, and my clothes are not neatly dressed, so I can't run away, why don't you let me put on a piece of clothing first, and die a decent death, and it can also show that you are more chivalrous and courageous, and don't bully weak women, okay?" ”

"The little lady is very good at talking, but if my brother says that he doesn't rob money or sex, as long as he kills?"

After a pause in surprise, the men looked at each other, but they were not as menacing as they had just entered. In the final analysis, it is a man, and men are used to thinking about problems with their heads below, and the nemesis of men is women, who were fooled by Xia Chuqi's words, but they laughed.

In the whole world, there is probably no way to find a woman like her.

The men in black froze one by one.

Xia Chuqi's face was smoked by hot water, ruddy and shy with a shy light, her eyelashes trembled a few times, and her tone was even more indescribably delicate and flexible, "Robbing money, sister, I don't have it, I'm alone, where is the extra silver?" If it's a robbery, my brothers are so heroic and extraordinary, although I like my sister in my heart, I can't have so many people together, right? Why don't you discuss it first, who will come first? ”

"How's it about robbing? What about the robbery? ”

Probably no one expected that at this time, she would be able to ask this question so calmly. The man in black glanced at each other, and finally someone couldn't help but be curious and asked in a low voice.

She smiled, her voice was particularly tactful, "A few big brothers, I don't know if you robbed money or sex?" ”

A few men in black reflexively paused.

"Stop!"

Looking at the man approaching step by step, Xia Chuqi sank into the water, his heart was beating wildly, but he didn't scream, he didn't panic, he just shrank deeper into the water, showed his head, and smiled weirdly at them.

But on second thought, this person's pronunciation is pure Chinese, which is completely different from the Beidi accent I heard that day, and the Beidi people have time to kill her, so it is better to go to the prison to save their "sticks". So whose people are they?

Between the lightning and flint, Xia Chuqi's mind thought a lot. This inn is on the outskirts of the city, a dozen or so people in black openly broke in, the momentum was huge but not blocked by the boss and the guys, and several "comrades-in-arms" of the T-shaped flag did not run up with the voice, then there is only one explanation, they must have been put down, and the innkeeper did not dare to stop it.

The Beidi people came to take revenge?

"Little girl, look where you're running this time."

Just like the Beidi people I saw in Yangtian Mountain that day, they only showed a pair of eyes on their entire faces, and they couldn't see what faces they were, but they unceremoniously stepped on the door panel and walked in.

But in an instant, the door that had been latched was suddenly kicked by gravity. Before she could react, she saw that the wooden door had been split open from the outside, and after a heavy muffled sound, the door panel fell to the ground, and there were more than a dozen black-clothed and masked men standing at the door.

"Bang-" loud noise.

"Squeak!" Bang.

Small? Did you grow up a little bit? She bit her lip and pinched it secretly, and couldn't help but think of the feeling when Zhao Zhu's warm and dry big hand was covered on it, and thought of the warm picture that made her blush and heartbeat, she was ashamed, and closed her eyes fiercely, her face was full of the delicate state of her little daughter.

Silently reciting his name, silently thinking about his eyes, she is no different from the daughter next to her when she reads her lover, a pair of smiling eye waves are reflected in the water waves, swinging around, lazily and comfortably plucking water, caressing his developing body, wanting to grow up impatiently and grow into a real woman, at that time standing by Zhao Zhu's side, he will no longer "dislike" her "small", right?

Zhao Nineteen, Zhao Nineteen......

Thinking of his face, thinking of the separation of more than a month, her heart "pounded" for no reason, and she longed to put on a pair of wings and fly over to join him. These days have made him worry in vain, it is also a heart-wrenching thing, I hope to meet, he will not want to kill her.

With her eyes half-squinted, she looked at the candle flame and counted the days, she hadn't seen Zhao Zhu for more than a month, and she didn't know what happened to him, did he know the news that she had "acne"? Will you be sad for her? Will you think of her?

Satisfied!

Instructed Xiao Er to carry a bucket of hot water up, she bolted the doors and windows, stripped naked and soaked in, the whole person was like electricity, and she was so happy that she let out a long breath of turbidity.

She raised her arm and sniffed, feeling that she had a "rancid" smell on her body. Even she dislikes herself, if she sees Zhao Zhu like this, then she can't smoke him to death? For more than a month, others have been crowded in the big bathhouse to wash, but she is a woman, where dare she go? At most, you can only take advantage of the dead of night to get a bucket of water to wipe your body, which is amazing.

Ahh What does it feel like not taking a shower for more than a month?

After hurriedly eating dinner and returning to the house, Xia Chuqi closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, according to Lao Meng's meaning, it was still far away to Kaiping, and if it could be saved, it would be saved, and six people would just squeeze into a room. But Xia Chuqi didn't live with them when he was killed, so he had to spend his own money to ask for a separate room. Seeing that she really insisted, Lao Meng had no choice, the five of them crowded into the passage room downstairs, and gave her a single room upstairs.

Anyway, she didn't care about their staring eyes, walked straight ahead, and chose a cheap and simple inn on the outskirts of the city to stay. A few people don't have much money on them, and they can't afford to live in a good inn, and they don't dare to ask for more rooms.

"Don't rob. I'm going to lie—"

Looking at Lao Meng's nervous look, Xia Chuqi grinned.

"Can't we rob it?"

"Don't worry, I have my own way."

Moving his sour elbow, Xia Chuqi sighed.

To say that it is better in non-war time, now it is in wartime, and it is in the war zone, many things like horses have been requisitioned by the government, and they are rare objects, although Jizhou is a big town, but it is extremely difficult to get six horses at a time, even if there is silver. Not to mention that they don't have much silver at all.

"Xiao Qi, we don't have much silver on us, how can we get a horse?"

But when she heard her say that she wanted to get a horse, Lao Meng gasped.

This man is different from women, the more ruthless he is, the more he can get the respect of others. Since the beginning of the "battle" in Yangtian Mountain, several people in this T-shaped banner have looked at Xia Chuqi differently, and they all admire her as a "man", so her status in the T-shaped flag is extraordinary, and even Lao Meng respects her.

Listening to the arguments of several people, Xia Chuqi lowered his head, looked at the road, was silent for a while, and suddenly turned his face to interrupt them, "Old Meng, I also think I should rest for the night." The brothers are tired, find an inn, sleep well, take a bath, get a few more horses tomorrow, and let's ride horses. ”

"Take a break!" Lao Meng glared at him viciously, "Rest for one more night, the daylilies will be cold." I guess we'll be able to catch up with the army in two or three days. The baggage battalion could not go fast. ”

"You see it's getting dark this day, why don't we find an inn to rest this evening?"

"Isn't that slow? What does it mean to be slow? ”

"Okay, good, I'm stupid, I'm stupid." Blackskin snorted, "But I think only a fool would chase a big army." You say let's go slowly, who knows? ”

"Are you supposed to be as stupid as you are?"

Heipi bared his teeth, sighed and fanned the wind, "This horse's face is dead, Xiaobu and the three of them ran away again, I think a few of us have also been removed from the camp." Old Meng, you said that we won't be treated as deserters by the commander when we go back, right? ”

Lao Meng glanced at him, "If you don't go to Kaiping, Lao Tzu will carry you?" ”

"Old Meng, is it really possible for us to go to Kaiping?" Hei Pi raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat from the corner of his forehead, grinning with black teeth, and asked weakly.

The six of them were hungry, thirsty, and tired, and after a few days, they didn't look like soldiers who had come to fight, and they looked like they were not much better than those displaced people who had fled from the south.

Now I have tried my best, and finally arrived at the boundary of Jizhou, and I learned that Yongping had recovered the lost land, and the baggage camp had been opened two days ago and went to Kaiping. And Zhao Zhu's team will also go to Kaiping to join forces with Chen Daniu, preparing to cross the Luan River to attack Daning.

After several days of hurrying, the six remaining people of the T-shaped flag walked on the clear and cold street, all a little depressed. When their horses were in Yangtian Mountain, they were shot dead by the Beidi people, and they came all the way to chase the footsteps of the large army, although they tried their best, but where did the four-legged of the two-legged walk fast?

The smoke of gunpowder has dissipated, but the original prosperity has not been restored. A place that has been baptized by war, no matter how stable it is, it will no longer be the prosperous picture of the busy traffic and shops it used to be. It has been ruled by the Beidi people for nearly two months, and it will take some days for the people to recuperate.

Jizhou City.

……

……

"Uh......" Yuan Yu pursed his lips, looking at his unwavering, difficult to associate with "very bad" face, and curled the corners of his lips, "Okay, you're bad." ”

"This king has always been bad."

"Tianlu, you learned badly from my cousin."

What about deliberately rectifying him? Yuan You's beautiful Danfeng eyes stopped, staring at Zhao Yu's face, and after thinking for a while, he touched his chin, and his sparkling eyes were full of tangled light.

"Wrong. It's only when you meet a fool like you that one plus one will come up with three. ”

He was still talking loudly, but Zhao Zhu stared at him coldly, raised his hand to the buckle of the neckline, his face did not change, and his voice was as flat as water.

The smile on Wonyou's face froze. He thought it was some kind of profound question, but he didn't expect that his usual serious and old-fashioned Uncle Nineteen would ask such a childish question. After thinking about it, he gave birth to some obscene thoughts with some enlightenment, raised his slender two hands, and circled his two thumbs together, and said with a smile, "I understand, haha." In bed, only in bed, one plus one can be equal to three. No wonder...... That's how it was? Sure enough, since ancient times, heroes have been sad about the beauty ......"

"One plus one, when can it be equal to three?"

"What's the problem?"

"Let me ask you a question first. If you get it right, you'll know the real answer. ”

The corners of Zhao Bottle's lips lifted slightly, and he hesitated for a moment before he pulled it over.

Yuan You raised his eyebrows, smiled and bent his eyes, leaning forward, "Why?" Let's hear it, sir, I'm really curious? ”

Zhao Jun looked at him and snorted coldly, "You want to know why?" ”

"I don't understand you anyway. Tianlu, didn't you find out? Ever since I met my cousin in Qinggang County, your brain has not been good, and every day is not as good as a day. Tsk, sometimes I wonder, is this still the Tianlu I know? ”

Having said that, Yuan You saw his "obsessive" expression on his face, cleared his throat, and didn't say what he thought in his heart, but just spread his hands and expressed his contempt.

Of course, at this time, he didn't know that when a man really wanted to protect a woman, everything else was empty, he would only care about her well-being, especially in a place like the battlefield, where fortune and misfortune are unpredictable, men are unwilling to take risks with their women. But the world is unpredictable, and when he finally realized it one day, the long road of chasing his wife made him see no end, and he was so angry that he not only wanted to cut down the forest and remove the woods, but also had the mind to wipe his neck.

Yuan You's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he met his cold gaze, unable to understand his logic. In his opinion, those who can use it can be used, which is not without the question of whether Xia Chuqi is a woman at all, and he can't understand what conflict there is between the two.

"In my eyes, she's just my woman."

Zhao Zhu's dark eyes looked at him for a long time. The look in his eyes was so cold that it gave Yuan Yu the illusion that he wanted to strangle himself. Of course, he didn't really strangle him, just said it lightly.

"Tianlu, you are really. She finally came, why did you bring her back? I need her in my Divine Camp. By the way, last time a batch of new-style firecrackers were improved according to what she said, this time when we fought Yongning, you saw the power, right? A talent like her is no worse than a man, so you can't think about it for the long-term development of our Yan Army, don't waste the talents of the pillars just because she is a woman? ”

Sitting in the chair, he aimed at Zhao Bottle, and his slender knuckles tapped rhythmically on the armrest.

Not only Chen Jing didn't understand, but Yuan You also didn't understand a lot of things.

Giving his hand again, Chen Jing looked at his slowly parted face, and after all, he didn't say anything, and went straight back. But in my heart I sighed and wondered. For many years, everyone has said that His Royal Highness King Jin is indifferent and ruthless, including Chen Jing himself. Since when did he think about it for a woman?

"Yes."

"Let's go to Kaiping, the war with Beidi has just started, what is it like to leave a woman in the army? Moreover, the further north she goes, the more dangerous it is, how can she be put in danger? ”

Zhao Zhujun's face sank, and there was almost no room for negotiation between his words.

"No way!"

Chen Jing glanced up at the noble and arrogant Nineteenth Master, and was about to agree, but he clearly saw an emotion called "missing" on his face. After a pause, he hesitated and said, "Your Highness, the county lord will not listen to her subordinates...... It's better to let her subordinates bring her over. ”

"Find her, and you will personally send her back to Jingshi."

Picking up the tea cup on the table, Zhao Bottle took a sip, and then rested lightly on the table, with a gloomy and cold expression, as if angry and helpless. But the coldness on his body was removed, and when he said the woman's name to Chen Jing, there was a touch of softness in his originally sharp eyes.

"Your Highness!"

Chen Jing always followed him, whether it was on the battlefield or in the palace, as long as he shouted, he would appear if he didn't count "five". Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside, the curtain of the camp tent was opened, and Chen Jing's black brocade boots stepped into the tent, and the armor and iron ding on his body made a crisp sound.

"Chen Jing!"

Zhao Zhu didn't answer, as if he suddenly figured out what he understood, and shouted in a low voice.

"Tsk, you said that my cousin, how can I toss like this? Ay! ”

"Haha, you know me too well. I'm really not a man who would give up an entire forest for a woman, that's a fool's business. Yuan You snorted and laughed, looking at Zhao Zhu's thoughtful expression, and sighed suspiciously.

"Fuck off!" Zhao Tuo glared at him, "You gave up a forest, but there is still a forest planted on the edge of your forest." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Zhu's dark and gloomy face, and chuckled again, "If you hadn't taken a fancy to him first, I would have to get her hands on her." Grandma's, even if I give up a forest for the sake of a girl like this, it's worth it......"

"My cousin, too, can do it. Tianlu, didn't you find out? She was really different from the woman next to her. She doesn't seem to care about anyone, these things like imperial status are just a fart for her, and the purpose of her work is one, it depends on whether her aunt is happy or not......"

"Huh?!" Yuanyu's mouth opened wide and he forgot to close it. After looking at Zhao Zhu for a while, he came back to his senses, pondered carefully, and smiled in surprise and joy. It's amazing that Ah Qi is so bold that she dares to do such a hidden thing, and the good thing is that she doesn't have "acne", that is, her life is worry-free.

Glancing at him coldly, Zhao Zhu leaned back in the chair, rubbed his forehead and thought about it for a long time before he sighed lowly and said helplessly: "I suspect that she is Ah Qi." ”

"Tianlu, is it possible...... Do you want to reuse that firehead? ”

Zhao Jun pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and let him go down. Yuan You sat next to him, raising his eyebrows, looking at his deep and inky face, a little confused, but he also knew that something must have happened that he didn't know, otherwise Tianlu would not have become so chattering.

"Back to His Royal Highness, there were ten people in that Xiaoqi, one died on the spot, three escaped, and there were six people left, they handed over the Beidi captives to the Qingzhou prefect and left. The subordinates didn't know what happened next, and they should have gone to chase the army of the heavy battalion. ”

Glared at him, the scout's shoulders trembled.

Leng Li's face softened a little, but he didn't know what he thought, he was only silent for a moment, a cold layer floated in his dark eyes, his fists clenched for a moment, and then he suppressed the anger and asked lightly, "Where are the others now?" ”

Looking at the ignorant scout, Zhao Zun frowned again, and almost subconsciously remembered someone. listened to the words of the "firehead soldier" scolding Xia Yan, and the things he did. He really couldn't think of anyone else who would do this except Ah Qi.

"My subordinates don't know."

"What does that guy look like?"

"I heard that the situation is very strange, a group of naked men walked on the official road with their hands tied, which provoked those ordinary people who wanted to avoid the war to come out to see, but those Beidi people really walked into the Qingzhou Mansion like that."

"The subordinates remembered, I heard that when the firehead soldier caught the Beidi people, they all stripped naked, and it was he who tied himself up and walked to Yidu ......" Speaking of this, the scout himself couldn't help but want to laugh, and he sighed before continuing.

He didn't know what His Royal Highness King Jin wanted to listen to, and he didn't dare to ask any more. But in fact, he didn't know much about the situation, and after thinking carefully about whether there was anything missing from the previous report, he was able to pick up "strange" things.

"Tell the king about that firehead soldier again." Zhao Zhu's face was cold and hard, and his eyes flickered with a mysterious light under the candlelight. At a glance, the sound of the lights "crackling" gave rise to fear in the scouts' hearts.

"What else does Your Highness command?"

Seeing his dark complexion and cold eyes, Yuan You knew too well, and he didn't dare to go against him for half a minute at this time, so he turned his head and ran out of the coach's tent. After a while, the scout soldier who had just been called away by Zhao Bottle came back and stood nervously in front of Zhao Bottle.

"Okay, you wait."

"Scout."

"Who?" Leng Buding was yelled at, and Yuan You was so frightened that he almost didn't "jump" from the chair.

"Call him back!"

What a condition like smallpox means, Yuan Yu naturally knows. So he hid it from Zhao Zhu before, just to prevent him from breaking up. Now that he has spoken out, he is also ready to be beaten fatly. But his body was tense, Zhao Zhu still looked at the two letters lightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking after reading them, so he was silent for a long time before his eyes turned to his face and his voice was cold.
