Volume 2 Ji Hui Ningdu Chapter 145 Three-day period
"Your Highness, what should I do?" Looking at the soldiers approaching step by step, Xu Cheng asked in a low voice.
"Don't resist." Xu Xiang had no doubt that if they resisted, they would really kill people.
Although he knew that Lu Tianyao might be able to deal with these two groups of soldiers, once he made a move, it would not end well.
Moreover, before he figured out the truth of the matter, resistance was undoubtedly the best way, and now he was not cornered, and he could appeal to Ming Heng after figuring out what was going on.
The five were captured by the soldiers, who took them into the Xu Mansion.
Along the way, he found that the people in the palace were being threatened with knives by a bunch of soldiers, and they were kneeling in the courtyard tremblingly, but fortunately he did not see anyone killed.
The soldiers escorted them to the living room, where a man dressed in lace brocade and a silver mask sat on the main seat.
Jiang Shenyu stood in front of him, glaring angrily at the man.
At her feet lay a little child covered in blood, whose face was red and bloodied.
He was lying on the ground, breathing, thick blood flowing from his nostrils and mouth, and his body was twitching slightly, and he could tell that he was still alive.
"Your Highness! Xu Changsha is back! The leader of the soldiers knelt before the silver-masked man and said almost reverently.
"Changsha!" Jiang Shenyu walked to Xu Xiang's side, but was stopped by the soldiers.
"It's okay, Shen Yu, don't be impulsive, leave it to me." Xu Xiang said comfortingly, he was afraid that Jiang Shenyu would do it.
The silver-masked man got up, walked slowly to the leader, and then crouched down.
The leader of the soldiers raised his head, as if he was inviting merit.
"Smack!" The silver-masked man slapped him in the face suddenly, and a cold and hoarse voice came from under the mask: "After I let you see Xu Gongzi, invite someone over!" What are you tying people up for? ”
"Your Highness! I was wrong! I beg your Highness to spare your life! The leader of the soldiers had a look of horror in his eyes, and he kowtowed vigorously, as if he had made a terrible mistake and begged for forgiveness from the masked man.
Until the forehead came bleeding, it didn't stop.
The masked man stood up, pulled the dagger from the soldier's waist, and then grabbed the soldier's leader by the neck with one hand, and lifted him up violently.
“…… Temple...... Your Highness, Rao ...... The ...... of life "was choked by the neck, and he was lifted into the air, and he had difficulty breathing, but he was still begging for mercy.
The masked man showed no mercy, only a "poof" sound, and the dagger stabbed into his chest, spilling blood all over the ground.
"Ahh Jiang Shenyu screamed, Xu Xiang and the others couldn't help but shrink back, Mrs. Lu showed a frightened look on her face, and covered the eyes of the frightened Lu Qianqian with her hand.
The leader of the soldiers struggled in mid-air for two or three times, his body drooping, and there was no movement. The masked man threw him to the ground like a dead dog, and the dagger was thrown at his corpse.
Then he took the silk cloth handed by the expressionless soldier, wiped the blood stains on his hands, threw the silk cloth on the corpse of the soldier leader, and said, "Carry it away!" ”
The soldiers carried away the corpse of the leader, and the room was silent, and everyone dared not come out.
"Xu Gongzi, I'm really sorry. Some of the people under him can't understand people's words, so they are offended! Since he can't understand people's words, then I will turn him into a ghost and make amends to Xu Gongzi, I don't know if Gongzi is satisfied? The masked man slowly walked towards Xu Xiang, saying as he walked.
Xu Xiang's mood is very complicated, he is no stranger to the scene of dead people, in Huaxia, there are countless criminals and thugs who died under his gun.
However, it was the first time he had seen such a cold-blooded killing, and he was also a little afraid in his heart.
This is a very cruel way to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys, but this masked man killed his own chickens, and this heart is a little too ruthless.
"You...... Who are you? You...... What do you want to do? Xu Xiang asked tremblingly.
The masked man gently removed the mask, and Xu Xiang saw a handsome face with a smile, but this smile seemed so terrible in Xu Xiang's eyes.
"It's normal that Xu Gongzi doesn't know me. Introduce yourself, the superintendent of Xia Ming Lou, the fifth prince of Zhongshan Kingdom, Ming Xiao. ”
"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince! His Royal Highness brought so many people to my Xu Mansion, so what's the matter? Could it be that the prince of Zhongshan Kingdom could be so indiscriminate, send troops to surround my Xu Mansion and kill people in person? Xu Xiang forcibly calmed himself down and said.
"No, I think Xu Gongzi misunderstood. Prince Ben came here this time to save Xu Gongzi's life! But Xu Gongzi said such things, which made Prince Ben a little sad! Mingxiao pretended to look sad and shook his head slowly.
"I don't think His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness is here to save people, he's here to kill people, right?" Xu Xiang said with some disgust.
Mingxiao walked slowly, and then walked up to the little boy who was lying on the ground with only a trace of breath left, grabbed the back of his neck, and aimed the little boy's face at Xu Xiang, "Does Xu Gongzi know him?" ”
"Xiaoling! You ...... "Xu Xiang didn't recognize the person before, but he recognized it after seeing the face, this child was one of the displaced people outside the Zhenchuan Gate before, named Yue Ling, after the nobles of Tea Oil City.
When Jiang Shenyu distributed food, Yue Ling was alert and enthusiastic, and he was also very disciplined.
And he was alone, not accompanied by an adult. Although he was only thirteen years old, he was very sensible, Jiang Shenyu liked this child very much, so he brought him to Xu Mansion.
"It's good that Xu Gongzi knows!" Mingxiao put Yue Ling down, got up again and said: "Since everything has been said about this, this prince will go straight to the point and say it directly, hand over the "Pingjing Book", and this prince will retreat immediately!" If...... I'm sorry then......"
Mingxiao's words carried a strong sense of threat, he was a person who could even kill his own subordinates, what crazy things would he do, Xu Xiang had no doubt.
It's just that this "Pingjing Book" in Mingxiao's mouth is the first time he has heard of it, and naturally there is no question of whether to hand it over or not.
"Is Your Highness mistaken, the first time I've heard of the "Pingjing Book" you said, and I haven't seen it, what should I give to you?" Xu Xiang held back the anger in his heart and replied with a sincere face.
After listening to Xu Xiang's words, Mingxiao was not angry, but showed a look of excitement in his eyes, and then snapped his fingers and said, "Understood!" ”
"Xu Gongzi, this is not a coffin, no tears! Come...... The people in the yard ...... Kill half. ”
"Wait!" Xu Xiang saw that the soldiers were about to carry out Mingxiao's order, and hurriedly shouted.
Mingxiao's hand was raised, and he made a pause gesture to those soldiers, and then a pair of eyes stared at Xu Xiang tightly, and said leisurely: "Xu Gongzi, you have to think about the next words." If that's not good, I'm not going to give you another chance! This is for the sake of the fact that your fried chicken tastes good, and it gives you the opportunity to reorganize the language. ”
"Your Highness, don't be angry yet, listen to me seriously! I really don't know about the "Pingjing Book", so naturally it's not in my hands. But if it really has something to do with Yue Ling, and if it really exists, I promise to find it for you! Xu Xiang finished his words in one breath, now they are fish and meat, and Mingxiao is a knife, and he can't be made crazy!
As for what happened after that, whether there was a "Pingjing Book" or not, he found out whether it would be handed over to him, and he could only see the moves!
Mingxiao was silent for a moment, and a pair of eyes stared at him, as if he wanted to verify the truth of Xu Xiang's words, Xu Xiang naturally had a clear conscience, he really didn't know what this "Pingjing Book" was.
"Excellent! Prince Ben sees sincerity in your eyes. You really don't seem to know about "Pingjing Book"! Mingxiao said slowly, then his tone changed, and he said, "Then how much time does Xu Gongzi take?" ”
"Three months! Give me three months, and I will definitely give an explanation to His Highness! ”
Mingxiao shook his head, "I'll give you three days." If you don't hand it over for three days, there will be no one left in the Xu Mansion. ”
"Your Highness, is it ...... for three days?"
Three days is too short, how can it be possible to find the "Pingjing Book"? He didn't know anything about this thing, the only clue was on Yue Ling's body, and now that Yue Ling was beaten like this, it was hard to say if he could be rescued in three days.
However, Mingxiao didn't give him any chance, directly put on the silver mask, and left with people.
Xu Xiang's fists were clenched very tightly, he hated these arrogant nobles in this world so much that he couldn't wait to directly eradicate all the nobles!
"Changsha, what should I do?" Jiang Shenyu walked up to him, pinched his sleeve, and said a little overwhelmed.
"I don't know, I can only go to the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow to find a way!" Xu Xiang muttered.
The reason why Mingxiao is not worried that Xu Xiang will run away at all, nor is he worried about him playing tricks, just because in his heart, Xu Xiang is just a businessman, and he can completely let him handle it.
However, he didn't know that Xu Xiang had a background that even Zhongshan couldn't afford to provoke, in addition to this identity on the surface.
"This is too deceitful! As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but say that he arrested all the people in the house. also tortured Xiaoling to extract a confession, it was simply lawless! Jiang Shenyu said hatefully.
"Your Highness, why don't you take this opportunity and let us leave Ningdu?" Xu Yi said with great concern, he knew that in other people's territory, even if Xu Xiang showed his identity as the prince of Chu, it would not be useful.
"Lu Tianyao's life belongs to His Highness, as long as His Highness speaks, I am willing to protect His Highness and everyone to leave Ningdu!" Lu Tianyao also spoke at this time.
"Leave that alone! Take a look at Koling! Shen Yu, go and invite Mr. Ge over! Xu Yi, come over and help me and carry Xiaoling to the bed! ”
