The fierce battle to kill the two gangs of martial arts lasted all night.

After the battle, the entire Ruyi Ridge was stained red with blood, bloody and scorching.

The corpses were piled up in the dense forest, and the night breeze flowed quietly, blowing away the strong smell of metal that burst out from the exchange of blades.

Leng Qingtang lowered his sword and walked slowly, and the Panlong embroidered soap boots stepped on the remaining bloodstains, and his pale and thin face could not get rid of the look of slaughter.

On his head, the moon seemed to have eaten blood, the color was red, and the light ink cloud floating on the moon hook was also impregnated with the blood moon, and was plated with a hazy red outline.

Leng Qingtang raised his head and looked into the sky, frowning silently.

I suddenly thought of that snowy night eleven years ago, with blood and fire...... Flooded inside and outside the Zheng Clan's Mansion.

At that time, the moon was also so red at that time.

Time flies.

It's been eleven years, it's been eleven years

While a large number of guards were busy disposing of the corpses all over the mountain, Xiao Xiaoshen approached the overseer, bowed down and said:

"Lord Bing, my subordinates have completed the verification with the four heads. In this operation, 1,350 rebels were killed, 36 were captured, and 81 Dongchang guards were killed and wounded. None of the traitors slipped through the net. ”

"Well done."

Leng Qingtang raised his head majestically, his eyebrows slightly cold.

Thinking of something at this time, he turned his head and instructed Xiao Xiaoshen:

"The order was given, and all the actions should be stepped up, and all the troops should be assembled before dawn and return to Beijing quickly. Over there in the capital...... There are still important things waiting for us! ”

"Yes!"

Xiao Xiaoshen's eyes were startled, as if he had comprehended, and he hurriedly lowered his eyes and rushed into the depths of the dense forest.

……

Beijing, East Factory

Inside the main hall, thousands of households were pacing with their hands in their hands, with thick eyebrows on their big black faces, and their complexions were dignified.

Several big heads gathered on the east and west sides of the main hall, and at the bottom were two secret guards of Liuban, who were in charge of the collection of intelligence in several places in the capital.

In the past three days, the most talked about incident in the capital is the assassination of the carriage of the governor of Xichang when he was traveling at night.

That night, Minglan's carriage was attacked by a mysterious person, and the scene of the fainting of the Xichang group was discovered by a passing bantam porter.

At the moment when the night patrol of the West Factory came to the sound of explosions and was shocked to find their overseer, the short-legged porter had already fled.

The next day, he spread the big news of last night in the market.

For a time, the people in the market talked about nothing more than this matter after dinner. From the official yamen to the people on the streets, it is really a few joys and a few sorrows.

The people still remember that in the late autumn of last year, the Ming Governor of Naxichang caused a similar scandal in the Qingfeng Temple in the northern suburbs.

Now, less than a year later, he has caused another incident. There are different opinions, let's see if he will provoke the anger of the emperor Lao'er Longyan and take the opportunity to dismiss his West Factory!

However, there was one person who became the focus of discussion among the people throughout the assassination.

It was the unidentified young woman who had been taken by the assassins.

No one knew that her name was "Gu Yunxi".

The word of mouth spread after the bantam porter's description, and soon there were two versions of the story:

First, the mysterious woman is a good girl robbed by the commander of the West Factory, and now she is rescued by the assassin who hates the West Factory.

Second, the mysterious woman was originally the vase wife of the Admiral of the West Factory, and she should have been taken away by the assassin as a kidnapping ticket. In the future, they will have the next secret operation in the West Factory.

Jingcheng City, a mixed place of fish and dragons, there are many Dongchang secret guards who hide their true bodies.

When they got the news, they immediately returned to the East Factory and brought what they saw and heard to the thousands of households.

At this moment, the people who made Cheng Wanli anxious and anxious to slip away frequently were Yuan Qian, the head of the ten times who did not return overnight, and Qing'er, the head of Gu Yunxi's housekeeper who disappeared for a few days for no reason in the Admiral's Mansion.

To be precise, two days ago, Cheng Wanli had noticed that the children were missing something unusual.

Asked Shiban Fanwei, everyone kept silent, and finally forced Lao Cheng to use the precepts of the East Factory against them, and only then did he deduct the news from their mouths.

Yuan Qian and Qing'er secretly took people to the Ming Mansion in order to rescue Yunxi.

Now they haven't returned for a few days, and the two of them ...... It must have been a mistake......

Calm down, Cheng Wanli has been connected with several major events in the capital in recent days, and it is not difficult to guess with reference to the endless revelations in the market:

Ten rescue operations failed, Minglan detained Yuan Qian and Qing'er, and wanted to transfer Yun Yatou.

On the way, the carriage was attacked by a mysterious person, and Minglan was injured. And the woman who was kidnapped must be Yunxi

The more Cheng Wanli thought about it, the more anxious he became, and the more anxious he was, the more he was afraid.

Yun Yatou has a special identity, although the Overseer has always been cautious and cautious

Guarding her Zheng family's bloodline, I'm afraid there will be a time when there will be a hundred secrets.

Now that unknown people have kidnapped her, does it mean that her identity has been secretly exposed? Who are those people?

Now that Minglan has been assassinated, the whereabouts of Yun Yatou are unknown. Minglan will definitely blame the attack on Dongchang. Once his body is safe, he will inevitably seek the opportunity to find trouble with his own overseer.

Dongchang, how to save the two detained children from Minglan? When the overseer of his own house comes back, how should he, a thousand households, talk to the overseer about the abduction of Yun Yatou?

Seeing that the Lord Qianhu sighed and was full of sullen mood, Ai Qing, the big blocker, stepped forward and said with relief:

"What are you going to do, just tell your subordinates. For his brothers, his subordinates have nothing to say! ”

Before the words fell, Zao Wou-ki, the head of the third gear, stepped forward, spread out his thick thick palms, and said resolutely:

"If it is night, I will lead a team of people to investigate the Xichang Prison, and the two children must be locked inside."

"Nonsense!"

Cheng Wanli turned around suddenly, the meteor stopped in front of Zhao Wouji, stared at his slightly chubby Maitreya face, and shouted:

"Stop making trouble! At present, we have been taken short by the West Factory, and the horizontal and vertical people are in their hands, which is the best evidence of the rudeness of the East Factory.

It's better for you to send someone to make trouble again, maybe people have already laid a trap waiting for you to drill!

Before the governor left Beijing, he specially explained that he would not let the team act without authorization!

Now, it's that we've ruined the Overseer's plan. When he comes back, how do you tell me to explain to him?! ”

There was silence for a moment.

The leaders all realized the seriousness of the situation, and they all hung their heads, their faces sad and dazed.

The factory service came in from outside and bowed to Cheng Wanli:

"My lord, the Lord of the West Factory is here."

Damn it! It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao

Cheng Wanli's heart was shocked, and he looked directly at the door, his eyebrows sank.

The blockers pressed their faces one by one, either hateful or resentful, and stared at the door with solemn and lukewarm eyes.

Suddenly, the air in the main hall was enveloped by a fierce and murderous atmosphere.

The chaotic footsteps approached from afar, and Minglan was dressed in a brand-new white flying crane admiral robe, and was surrounded by five Xichang horsemen into the main hall.

Those Ti riders wore swords at their waists, raised their eyebrows, and had gloomy expressions on their faces, which made people feel like swallowing a fly flying around their stomachs, and their diaphragms up and down, inside and out, should be unpleasant.

This posture, walking rampage, with a yin wind on his feet, is the monster in the cave out of the mountain?

Today, the makeup on Minglan's face is heavier than usual. Not for anything else, just to cover up a bruise on the left side of his face.

Despite the thick layers of apricot pollen, the piece that spread to the pinna, like a strangely shaped plate on a border map, still showed a clear pattern on the side of his cheek.

Minglan's right arm was injured somewhat, and the imperial doctor diagnosed that it was not fractured, but only the muscles and bones were misaligned.

Because he came to Dongchang to make trouble, before leaving, this traitor deliberately sent his subordinates to wrap his arm in layers with a wound belt, and hung one end of the wound belt on his neck and pretended to be a gesture.

Seeing the rabble of the West Factory walking into the hall arrogantly, the leaders of the East Factory supported their arms one after another, raised their sharp eyes, and watched every movement of those people closely.

Cheng Wanli put on a hypocritical smile, bowed his hand to Minglan, and greeted him flatteringly:

"The Lord of the Ming Governor came to the East Factory, but he was presumptuous and could not go out as soon as possible to greet him. Lord Mingdu, please take a seat. ”

After that, he gestured with his hand.

Minglan didn't shirk either, strode up to the top gold python rose chair and sat down, and a Xichang rider next to him raised the back hem of the python robe for him in time.

Cheng Wanli instructed the factory staff to prepare tea.

Minglan's complexion was warm, and his cold eyes did not look at Cheng Wanli, and he raised his chin slightly and said in a casual voice:

"Where is Lord Leng Du? Today the Governor himself came to meet him. ”

Cheng Wanli smiled indifferently and replied respectfully:

"It's unfortunate that the Ming Governor came here, my family Governor went out of Beijing to arrest important criminals from the imperial court, and he was not in Dongchang. If the Lord has something important, he is willing to serve you. ”

Minglan squinted leisurely, as if smiling:

"When they left Beijing, they sent their men to invade my mansion overnight and set fire to them. The wicked deeds were discovered by a girl in my family, and your people were so vicious that they beat her to death.

When the governor came, he asked Leng Qingtang for an explanation in person! ”

Cheng Wanli's scalp tightened, but he didn't bring the worry to his face.

"What is Lord Ming talking about? How can you not understand it? ”

Cheng Wanli's eyes sank, pretending to be surprised and unrecognized.

"Don't understand? It doesn't matter, the adults of the thousand households can go to the Xichang Prison to identify themselves, and look at the people detained there, how many of them are from your Dongchang. ”

After Minglan finished speaking in a soft and quiet voice, the aggressive light in his eyes was even brighter and more ruthless.

Cheng Wanli was speechless, his big black face was hot all of a sudden, and a layer of hot sweat oozed from his back, tightly wrapping his clothes.

Seeing that Qianhu was choked on the spot, Minglan decorated his bewitching facial features, and immediately burst into more and more arrogant laugh lines.

Lu Tolerance, the second block head of the East Factory, couldn't bear it, gritted his teeth and stepped forward, squinting his eyes and complaining:

"Lord Mingdu, don't deceive people too much! At the beginning, it was you who detained Dongchang Fanwei Yunguan'er first, and only then did Yuan block the head and risk to save his colleagues......"

"Who is Yun Guan'er? Why had Ben never heard of this man? ”

Minglan suddenly raised his voice, pinched his voice sharply in his throat, and said with an evil expression:

"It's true that outsiders have come to the governor's mansion, but it's not a fanwei, but a girl in the Youzhu Gongyuan.

The governor doesn't understand, the governor was ordered by the emperor to take charge of the tribute court, and your Dongchang robbed a tribute girl, and attacked the governor's chariots and horses in the middle of the night, but why!? ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Rong was angry and could not refute it reasonably.

Gasping for a moment, he pointed his finger Minglan and roared in court:

"You're getting the momentum to bite our East Factory!"

Behind the chairs, two Xichang Ti riders immediately jumped out, holding up their chests to drive the angry Lu Rong backwards.

When it comes to martial arts, Lu Rong does not show weakness, and raises his elbows to meet him horizontally.

Seeing this, the two horsemen pulled out a half-cut steel knife from their waists.

The cold flashed and angered Zao Wou-ki, the head of the third block of the East Factory.

His eyes widened, and without saying a word, he took out a pair of cast steel handballs, and shouted:

"This is the East Factory, and it's not your turn to spread the mongrels of the West Factory here."

"Stop it!"

Cheng Wanli's sudden roar instantly stopped the imminent fight between the two factories.

In any case, the shortcomings were pinched in the palm of the other party's hand, so that Cheng Wanli had nothing to do at the moment.

After thinking about it for a while, he changed his face with a pleasant face, and folded his fists to apologize to Minglan:

"Lord Mingdu, no matter what, please look at the thin noodles below, and let go of the two ignorant children for the time being.

In the lower part of the East Factory Thousand Households, the supervision is not strict, and the original is also wrong. He was willing to exchange himself for the two of them, and as for the Ming Governor, he was willing to be punished for beating and punishing him. ”

"By you?"

Minglan suddenly picked up the narrow eyeliner, and the yin and yin slanted at Cheng Qianhu, with a cold and disdainful look on his face:

"How can I not know how big you are?"

With this graceful voice, Xichang's Tiqi immediately burst into small laughter, mocking and frivolous.

The anger that had been suppressed in the bottom of Cheng Wanli's heart several times suddenly jumped to the top of his mind in this burst of laughter.

He looked directly at Minglan with a calm face, and said slowly in a deep voice:

"Lord Mingdu, the so-called acceptance when you see a good thing, and stop in moderation. How big of a face do I have, you ask? As a thousand households, the overseer is not here, and everything in the East Factory is up to me.

Now I'm willing to let you sit down, and I'm willing to let you talk to me and the Dongchang factory present. ”

Zheng Zheng's voice fell, and Cheng Wanli seemed to move his right arm slightly unintentionally.

only heard the sound of "click", and the rose chair under Minglan split apart without warning.

Caught off guard, Minglan's whole body fell down, and his buttocks were poised on the legs of the chair.

There was a slight thud from the bones, and his tail bones were broken by the hard mahogany legs.

Minglan screamed "wow" in pain on the spot, and his face was sweating.

"Overseer!"

Several of the Xichang Ti rode around in amazement, dragged and dragged their Lord Overseer up from the ground.

With so many eyes, none of them saw Cheng Wanli really make a move.

"Okay, okay......"

Minglan leaned on a horse, and twisted his eyes angrily, and his eyes were bloodshot:

"You still dare to attack the Governor with internal forces, you ...... Oops! ”

Minglan raised his arm, and the orchid finger was just pointing at Cheng Wanli, who was not tolerant of pain, his face was hideous and painful, and he urgently covered his buttocks with his hand.

Cheng Wanli was very innocent, spreading his hands:

"Why is the Lord of the Ming Governor to blame? It is clear that the Lord Overseer has been pampered for a long time, and even this rose chair is difficult to carry the weight of the Lord Overseer's noble body, so what can I do?

This time, the people who changed the east factory snickered.

"You!"

Minglan suddenly stiffened his eyebrows, his eyes were cold and slashed towards Cheng Wanli, and he flicked his sleeves and said:

"There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is the king, I didn't expect Leng Qingtang's subordinates to be so vulgar and rude. That being the case, it was not convenient for the Governor to stay long, so he took his leave.

When Lord Leng returns to Beijing, ask him to go to the Xichang prison in person and pick him up! ”
