Volume 1 Sunrise in the East and Setting in the West Chapter 46 Divine Soldiers Descend from the Sky
Xiahou Allure suddenly appeared, which surprised everyone present.
What surprised everyone even more was the tone of Xiahou Allure's speech to Du Hongsheng.
Originally, everyone thought that Xiahou Allure was just Du Hongsheng's family or subordinate, but Xiahou Allure spoke to Du Hongsheng in a condescending tone, as if Du Hongsheng was her subordinate.
What surprised everyone even more was that Du Hongsheng seemed to take it for granted, and said embarrassedly: "This ......! β
"This case is being interrogated by Lord Du, you guys hurry up." Xiahou Chengcheng seemed to be a little impatient, and pointed at Zhen Yujiang and said, "And you, hurry up and make amends to Lord Du." β
Zhen Yujiang's status in Zhen County is no different from that of the crown prince, and who dares to be so presumptuous in front of him on weekdays.
The dignified county guard, in front of him, had to give up three points, and now he was pointed at his nose by a young man in front of everyone, and he suddenly became angry and said angrily: "You are looking for death." β
Xiahou Chengcheng did not back down, his willow eyebrows were raised, and he pointed at Zhen Yujiang and said angrily: "What did you say? You repeat. β
Zhen Yujiang didn't expect that there were people who were more arrogant than himself, he would never allow anyone more arrogant than him to exist in Turtle City, picked up a chair, and smashed it straight towards Xiahou Allure.
"Stop!" Du Hongsheng shouted.
But the young man's shot was neat, and when Du Hongsheng shouted, the chair was already flying towards Xiahou Chengcheng with the wind.
"Click!"
Before the chair touched Xiahou Allure, he saw a black shadow coming out from behind Xiahou Allure like a ghost, and saw the sword light practice, a chair instantly shattered into countless pieces in the sword light, and the figure passed through the scattered chair, like a meteor rushed straight to Zhen Yujiang, before Zhen Yujiang could react, the cold tip of the sword had already pressed against Zhen Yujiang's throat.
Everything is happening between the lights and the fire.
When everyone in the lobby came back to their senses, they found that Zhen Yujiang's face was already pale with fright, and he didn't dare to move, and his body was trembling like sifting chaff.
At this time, everyone also saw clearly that the black shadow that suddenly appeared like a ghost, dressed in black, wearing a linen cloth jacket, wearing a hat, and covering his face with a black cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes like a blade, and the cold light in those eyes was like a blade, and like a poisonous snake.
"There are assassins!" Lang Shenshui finally reacted and shouted.
The Tsing Yi swordsmen of the Zhenhou Mansion didn't react at all when the hatsman made a move, and they didn't even see clearly how the long sword reached the young man's throat.
The young prince of the Zhenhou Mansion was held hostage by the assassins, and of course everyone did not dare to act rashly.
Zhen Yujiang's face was pale, his pupils constricted, and the tip of the sword pressed against his throat, although the blade was still inches away from his skin, he could feel the chill from the blade burrowing into his throat, and then spreading to every inch of skin in his body.
He didn't dare to breathe too deeply, lest he touch the edge of the sword when his throat squirmed, because his instincts told him that the sword must be unusually sharp.
"Who do you let die?" The hatsman asked emotionlessly.
Zhen Yujiang knew that he had encountered hard stubble.
In Zhen County, and even in Xiling, there are almost no people who dare to do it to themselves if they know their identity, but the other party doesn't care about their identity at all, and dares to sword themselves in front of everyone, which shows that this person really has no scruples.
Since he dared to draw his sword, he had the courage to pierce his throat.
Lang Shenshui shouted that he was an assassin, but Zhen Yujiang knew that the person in front of him was definitely not an assassin, and this swordsman must have appeared because of that handsome young man.
Since they appeared in the county guard's mansion, they must have something to do with Du Hongsheng.
Although his body couldn't move, Zhen Yujiang still tilted his eyes over and looked at Du Hongsheng, hoping that Lord County Shou could come forward to resolve this crisis.
But Du Hongsheng lowered his head and didn't say a word, as if he hadn't seen it.
"Who do you want to die?" The hat-bearer asked repeatedly.
Zhen Yujiang said helplessly: "I'm ..... for a while A momentary gaffe, who ..... No one will die! β
"I know you are the young son of Zhenhou Mansion." The hatsman said coldly, "But I don't know my sword. β
"I know." Zhen Yujiang had to give in.
The hand holding the sword was as steady as Mount Tai, and his voice was also low: "The county guard mansion represents the imperial court, and anyone who wields a knife or a gun here is blaspheming the imperial court." Remember your first offense, take your people, get out of the county guard's mansion, don't have a second time. β
Although Zhen Yujiang wanted to slash the swordsman in front of him with a thousand knives in his heart, he could only say obediently at this time: "There will be no second time, I will take someone away immediately, I will not care about this case." β
"Good." The hatsman withdrew his sword, approached Zhen Yujiang's ear, and whispered, Zhen Yujiang's face turned even paler, took two steps back, and actually saluted the hatholder, and then turned around and said, "Go!" He didn't dare to stay half a step longer, and almost trotted out of the lobby, Lang Shenshui was a little surprised, but he still left quickly with the Tsing Yi swordsmen.
The lobby, which was originally tense with swords, instantly became light and breezy.
Of course, Qin Xiao had already recognized that the man with the hat was the "Uncle Wen" he had seen that night, but he never expected that this person would be a swordsman who was deeply hidden.
He couldn't help but look at Xiahou Allure, and saw that Xiahou Allure was also looking at him, his eyes were docked, Xiahou Allure smiled, and he was beautiful.
Just didn't look at it much, the hat man had already walked over to block in front of Xiahou Chengcheng, blocking Qin Xiao's sight, and then saw Xiahou Chengcheng bowing his head and retreating to the back hall, the hat man looked back at Qin Xiao, didn't say much, and left.
Han Yunong was so shrewd, he looked at it in his eyes, and his heart was strange, but at this time, he didn't say much, put away his saber, and arched his hand to Du Hongsheng: "My lord, I am out of shape, please punish me." β
Du Hongsheng waved his hand and asked Lu Siyuan, the criminal Cao Caoguan, "Lu Caoguan, how do you think this case should be handled?" β
Zhen Yujiang ran away with people, where did Lu Siyuan dare to pretend in the county guard's mansion, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "It's all up to the adults." β
"Captain Han, this matter needs to be investigated carefully." Du Hongsheng said: "However, Lu Hong, as the head catcher of the Governor's Mansion, actually colluded with others and had evil thoughts, he can't stay in this Governor's Mansion, and if you want to convict of any crime, your Governor's Mansion will punish it, so you can watch it." β
Han Yunong arched his hand and said: "Humble duties should be punished severely." β
"And this Qin Xiao, who left his post without permission, although it was to send the documents of detention, but after all, it involves this case, and you must be reprimanded when you turn back." Du Hongsheng turned to Lu Siyuan again and asked with a smile: "Lu Caoguan, do you think it is appropriate to deal with it like this?" β
Lu Siyuan smiled embarrassedly: "My lord is wise, just ..... Just deal with it. β
"Without the order of the official, your torturers rushed in with knives, which is really lawless." Du Hongsheng frowned and said: "Do you think you should rectify the punishment by yourself, or will the official make a break to the court and let the court send someone to rectify it?" β
Lu Siyuan's face changed slightly, he rushed to the door, and saw that more than a dozen officials of Xing Cao were still standing in the courtyard, looking left and right, and he didn't know what to take for a while, so he raised his legs and took off his official boots, smashed them according to Xing Cao's official mission, and scolded: "Who let you break in?" This is the county guard's mansion, you bastards, you are bold, look back at how I clean you up, get out, don't let Lao Tzu get out. β
The criminal officials all turned around and ran, and they were scattered in an instant.
Lu Siyuan jumped into the courtyard on one leg, picked up the official boots and put them on, and then turned to Du Hongsheng and said respectfully: "My lord, the lower official will retire first!" Seeing Du Hongsheng waving his hand, he didn't dare to stay longer, and quickly retreated.
Han Yunong glanced at Lu Hong and said in a deep voice: "Meng Zimo, take Qin Xiao and Lu Hong back to the Duwei Mansion and wait for my fate." β
Qin Xiao and Lu Hong both bowed and retreated to the door, and Meng Zimo said in a low voice: "Go back to the Duwei Mansion first, and wait for Lord Duwei." β
The result of this is what Qin Xiao did not expect.
Zhen Yujiang is not a reasonable person after all, and when he brought someone over today, he didn't care what kind of truth Lu Hong would say, and made up his mind to bring the two back to Zhenhou Mansion.
Qin Xiao knew very well in his heart that if he really fell into the hands of the Marquis Zhen's Mansion this time, torture to extract confessions would naturally be indispensable, and there would not even be any possibility of coming out alive.
Of course, Han Yunong would not sit idly by and watch his subordinates being taken away, if it weren't for Xiahou Allure appearing in time, there would probably be bloodshed today.
However, Xiahou Allure actually appeared in the county guard's mansion, which really made Qin Xiao never expect.
When he met Xiahou Allure a few days ago, he only thought that she was Miss Fujia in Guannai, but if she can appear in the county guard mansion today, then of course she is not an ordinary Miss Jujia, and the swordsmanship of the hat man is really incredible, I am afraid that ordinary rich businessmen and giants can't afford to hire such a great swordsman.
"Little brother!"
Qin Xiao followed behind Lu Hong, and before he reached the gate of the county guard's mansion, he heard a crisp cry from the side, turned his head to look over, and saw Xiahou Allure beckoning to him.
Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment, but if it weren't for Xiahou Allure today, the consequences would be unimaginable, and he even owed this girl a big favor.
He arched his hand to Mencius, who turned to the front, and pointed to Xiahou Allure, Mencius glanced at Xiahou Allure and didn't say anything.
Qin Xiao knew what Meng Zimo meant, and hurriedly trotted over, Xiahou Chengcheng saw him coming, and a happy smile immediately appeared on his delicate face, and he said softly: "Are you okay?" Don't be afraid of those bad guys, if they get you in trouble, I'll help you. β
Qin Xiao also smiled: "Thank you so much today, I remember this favor." β
"No thanks." Xiahou Chengcheng smiled even more happily: "Seeing that the road is uneven, it is a matter of course to draw a knife to help, didn't you help me last time?" Thinking of something, he took out a money bag from his bosom and handed it over: "It's all gold, you helped me last time, and I paid you back the money." β
"Gold?" Qin Xiao shook his head and smiled: "I just helped you pay two coins of silver last time, it's not worth mentioning, you don't need to be like this." β
Xiahou Chengcheng hurriedly said: "You said that if we meet again, I will return your silver with my own hands." β
"You helped me today, and we're friends." Qin Xiao said: "Since you are friends, you don't need to see each other like this, last time I thought I invited you to a meal." β
Xiahou was stunned for a moment, looked at Qin Xiao and said, "You treat me as a friend?" β
"Of course." Qin Xiao said: "You are quite righteous, and you are like-minded with me, so you are naturally friends." β
Xiahou Allure smiled like a flower, and nodded again and again: "Yes, we are friends, and good friends are just to be righteous." Holding the money bag, he thought for a moment before he said, "It's okay, even if you invited me to dinner last time, wait for the next time I invite you to dinner, do you say okay?" β
Although Xiahou Chengcheng acted a little naΓ―ve, Qin Xiao saw that she had a pure temperament and had a good impression of her, and said with a smile: "That's naturally excellent." By the way, do you live in the county watchhouse? β
"I'm staying here for the time being, but maybe I'm going to leave in the next two days." Xiahou Chengcheng was a little reluctant and said: "I want to find an opportunity to invite you to dinner, and I don't know when it will be realized." β
Meng Zimo coughed twice, Qin Xiao knew that this was the county guard's mansion, and it was not good for him to delay here, so he said in a low voice: "There must be a chance, I have to go back to the yamen, you take care of yourself." It's not good to stay long, smiled at Xiahou Allure, and left in a hurry.
