This ambush seems to be fierce and exciting, but in fact, the whole process is very short, and the several rounds of arrows fired before and after have not even used the kung fu of a cup of tea.

But all of this is also happening, there is a saying called "it is over before it starts", which seems to be very appropriate here, because the moment the rain of arrows appears, the result is already doomed.

……

Just after all the killers were ambushed, a group of armored sergeants armed with bows and crossbows and straight knives came out of the alleys, and at the same time, the crossbowmen who were originally standing on the eaves of the surrounding houses also turned over and landed and gathered with this group of people, of course, they were in a group.

As soon as this group of sergeants appeared, the fox was shocked, this is an intuition between soldiers, he can clearly feel the murderous aura on this group of sergeants, this is a group of soldiers who have really been killed on the battlefield, far from the group of soldiers who only know how to train.

"Who are you?" Ling Hu Ji couldn't help but ask.

But, there was no answer.

After this group of sergeants came in, they began to silently carry the corpses to clean up the bloodstains, turning a blind eye to Mu Qiuhuang and Ling Huji.

Just when Ling Hu was about to get angry, Mu Qiuhuang quietly stopped him, and at this time, Mu Qiuhuang had already come out and sat on the wheel, watching with interest this group of sergeants cleaning the battlefield.

They carefully pulled out all the crossbow arrows on the corpses, and each time they pulled out a crossbow arrow, they immediately brought out a poofing of blood, and even worse, the barbs of the arrows would carry a trace of minced flesh or internal organs in the body, not that they were deliberately insulting the corpse, but because the wolf-toothed crossbow arrows were expensive and the number of equipment per person was limited...... Besides, judging this group of corpses is not qualified to be deliberately insulted.

The corpses of the crippled and the earth were also dragged out of the house, and the appearance of the two could only be described as miserable, the blood flowed out along the dense wounds all over the body, and even the large net that dragged them was soaked in red blood, and the two sergeants silently stepped forward and pulled out the straight knife at their waists, and cleanly cut off the heads of the crippled and the earth.

These two people were famous killers in the rivers and lakes, but because they took jobs that they shouldn't have taken and came to places they shouldn't have come, they were even worse than dogs when they finally died.

The blood was mixed with the snow water, and the originally red blood was also diluted a lot, coupled with the cold well water, all the filth on the ground slowly flowed into the sewer, and finally, disappeared without a trace.

After the sergeants came in silently to clean up their traces and left silently, the alleys became clean and tidy again, as if nothing had happened in the first place...... Only Ling Hu and Mu Qiuhuang were left alone.

There was a sudden chill in the alley.

This coldness comes from the snow that has not yet melted on the eaves, from the darkness of the alleys that are deep and sunless, and perhaps from the unwillingness of the dead bodies just now...... It's just that none of that seems to matter anymore.

"Let's go!" Mu Qiuhuang patted Ling Huji's shoulder and got into the carriage again.

Seeing this, Ling Hu Jian also jumped on the wheel and drove the carriage out of the alley.

After the carriage drove for a while, Ling Hu Jian finally couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart: "Young master, how do you know that there will help us in secret?" ”

Mu Qiuhuang smiled slightly and said: "It's very simple, since someone wants to kill me in Kyoto, then naturally there are people who don't want me to die in Kyoto......"

"Then they are ......," Ling Fox said.

"They should be Xiahou Xuanba's people." Mu Qiuhuang said thoughtfully.

"Yes...... I'm really stupid, in addition to the people of Xiahou Xuanba in this Kyoto, what army can have such a strong murderous aura? Ling Hu Ji realized it later.

"Young master, I still have a question."

"Ask!"

"Why did it appear that Xiahou Xuanba's people appeared, not the little emperor's people?" Ling Hu Hu said suspiciously.

"Very good, Brother Linghu, you are finally willing to think about the problem."

Mu Qiuhuang Lao Huai was relieved: "Your sentence is to the point, it stands to reason that the person who should appear most should indeed be the little emperor's talent, because the master of this world is the little emperor, he should come out to declare his sovereignty...... It's just that you don't forget that Xiahou Xuanba also encountered assassins before. ”

Mu Qiuhuang suddenly stopped speaking of this, and deliberately let Ling Hujie think about it for himself.

Linghu Ji scratched his big bald head, and said with an embarrassed face: "Young master, you better say it directly, I Linghu is a rough person, it's okay for you to let me fight and kill, it's embarrassing for me to let me guess this!" ”

Mu Qiuhuang pretended to be helpless and said, "Alas...... I just wanted to praise you a few words, but I never thought that you were like this again. ”

"Hehe, young master, you better say it directly."

"The reason is actually very simple, it is because they went to assassinate Xiahou Xuanba." Mu Qiuhuang mocked: "The nominal owner of this Fengling City is the little emperor...... But if it were you, who would you think was the real owner of Fengling City? ”

"Needless to say, it must be Xiahou Xuanba." Ling Huji replied affirmatively.

"That's it, no matter what Xiahou Xuanba thinks in his heart, and it doesn't matter if he is really loyal or traitorous? At the very least, he was the most powerful and powerful man in the city...... And now that someone dares to assassinate him, this is a blatant provocation, if he can't deter this group of people with thunder this time, and make this group of people afraid of him, I am afraid that there will be a steady stream of assassins coming one after another......"

"But...... If he does this, isn't he afraid that the little emperor will be suspicious? Ling Huyu continued to ask.

"If he doesn't do this, won't the little emperor be suspicious?" Mu Qiuhuang asked rhetorically.

Mu Qiuhuang paused and continued: "Since Xiahou Xuanba defeated the Dongche army, his power in the army has reached its peak, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a master of high merit, and Xiahou Xuanba should not let his clan brother Xiahou Wenyuan take over the position of prime minister...... That is to say, now the Chinese martial arts of the dynasty are all dominated by the Xiahou family, and there is no one who is even restrained, so is it strange that the little emperor is not afraid of him?

It's just that this can't be blamed on the little emperor, nominally the little emperor is Jun Xiahou Xuanba is minister...... But in reality? This kind of courtier is something he can't control at all.

I suspect that Xiahou Xuanba's move, in addition to deterring that group of assassins, also shocked the little emperor by the way.

Who knows if this group of assassins is involved with the little emperor? If the little emperor is unwilling to let Xiahou Xuanba die in his heart, it must be a lie. ”

……

"The young master is really wise and powerful, and he can see such a complicated situation so thoroughly...... If the little emperor had the wisdom of the young master, presumably Xiahou Xuanba would not dare to be presumptuous. Ling Hu Ji complimented.

"Less sycophants, this is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see......"

Mu Qiuhuang said to himself: "If you put me in the position of the little emperor, I probably won't have any good way, right?" ”

……

While the two were talking, the carriage finally returned to the inn.

As soon as Mu Qiuhuang got off the carriage, he saw Su Xiaoxiao looking forward to it.

"Childe, are you alright?" This was the first thing Su Xiaoxiao said.

"Am I not standing in front of you?" Mu Qiuhuang laughed.

Su Xiaoxiao really stepped forward and carefully checked Mu Qiuhuang's body.

Seeing this, Ling Hu Ji consciously avoided his head.

It's just that in front of the public, Mu Qiuhuang was really a little embarrassed to be treated like this by Su Xiaoxiao, but he just saw worry and relief in Su Xiaoxiao's eyes...... For this, he is also warm.

"Let's go back to our room first! I think you should have a lot to tell me......" Mu Qiuhuang said to Su Xiaoxiao with a faint smile.

Finally got Su Xiaoxiao back into the room, and heard Su Xiaoxiao say: "By the way, Son, Ji Yan's people are still here, and he said that there is a letter to hand over to you personally......"

"Ji Yan's letter? Where are the people? Mu Qiuhuang hurriedly asked.

"Childe, wait a minute, I'll call him in." Su Xiaoxiao also knew that the situation was urgent, and hurriedly turned around and left.

A short time later, a well-dressed believer walked in with him.

The believer didn't say much when he saw Mu Qiuhuang, and after bowing to him directly, he took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Mu Qiuhuang, and said respectfully: "The villain handed over this letter to Mu Gongzi on the order of my master." ”

After Mu Qiuhuang took the envelope, he saw that the four big characters "Brother Mu personally opened" were written on it.

"What else did your master say?"

"My master just asked the villain to hand over this letter to Mu Gongzi, and didn't say anything else."

"There is labor."

"Don't dare, if Mu Gongzi has no other instructions, the villain will retire first."

"Hmm." Mu Qiuhuang nodded, and then opened the envelope.

Seeing that Mu Qiuhuang didn't say a word after reading the letter, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask, "What happened to the son?" ”

"Ji Yan left Fengling City last night." Mu Qiuhuang handed the letter in his hand to Su Xiaoxiao.

After reading the letter, Su Xiaoxiao said, "That son, what should we do now?" ”

After pondering for a while, Mu Qiuhuang said, "Like Ji Yan, we also leave Fengling City first. ”

"It's just that all the city gates have been sealed this morning, and we want to get out, but I'm afraid it's not easy to ......" Su Xiaoxiao looked embarrassed.

"It's not easy, you have to go out first, although the little emperor's idea is good, but his strength is too weak, and he is not qualified to wrestle with Xiahou Xuanba...... Now Xiahou Xuanba is like an enraged mad tiger, and it is a little dangerous to stay in this Fengling City any longer.

Another point is that the strength of the princes is far from being as simple as you think, and I am afraid that this group of assassins is just a bait...... Today, Xiahou Xuanba showed his strength and deterred the group of assassins, and in the short term, no one should dare to provoke Xiahou Xuanba.

Then think about it, now in this Kyoto, in addition to Xiahou Xuanba, whose death can ignite the flames of war in an instant? ”

After thinking for a while, Su Xiao exclaimed, "It's you, Childe?" ”

"Not bad."

Mu Qiuhuang nodded and said, "It was supposed to be me and Ji Yan, but he actually went out last night......... Now there is only one person standing on the cusp of this storm. ”

Su Xiao said anxiously: "But, how are we going to get out?" ”

"Yes! How do I get out? Mu Qiuhuang fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, Mu Qiuhuang and Su Xiaoxiao glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Taishi Mansion." ”
