Killing horses? Are you kidding?

How can a horse be killed at will? In ancient times, only when the army was trapped with no way out and no food to eat, would they choose to kill horses.

Horses are the most important means of transportation in this era, and it can be said that if you have a horse, it is equivalent to an extra life. They didn't kill the horses when the mountains and rivers were exhausted now, how did they rush to Heyuan Mansion?

"No, horses can't be killed! If we kill the horse, it will take a few more hours for us to go to Heyuan Mansion, and I would rather be hungry for two more hours than kill the horse!" Xu Xiang shook his head and refused.

"Young Master, I think Mingling's proposal is good. We only kill one horse, you can ride a horse, I can walk with Mingling! I believe that with our foot strength, we should be able to catch up with you! The eldest grandson Mingying spoke.

"No, no, I can't walk on horseback!" Xu Xiang shook his head frantically, his character dictated that he couldn't do this.

"Young master, we are not thinking about whether we can endure hunger ourselves. But you look at these villagers, they only drink some gruel every day, how can they fill their stomachs? ”

Xu Xiang was a little different, this village was really difficult, but Xu Xiang saw in their eyes that they were full of hope for the future.

These are the most simple peasants, regardless of those in power, who just want to work hard to survive.

"Good! Kill the horse! ”

Although a horse can't solve any problems, Xu Xiang can at least help them get through a difficult time. When Xuanyuanding's soldiers and horses come over and capture Heyuan Mansion, they can find a way to help these surrounding villagers.

"Uncle Yu, come here!" Xu Xiang waved his hand at Yu Lao Liu, who came over in response.

"What's wrong? Young man, but not full? Why don't I get you another bowl? ”

"No need, I want to ask, Uncle Yu, is there a butcher in your village?" Xu Xiang asked.

"Butcher?" Yu Lao Liu was surprised for a while, "What are you looking for a butcher for?" ”

"I want to kill a horse."

"Kill the horse? That's unacceptable, how precious is this horse? How can you kill a horse? Yu Lao Liu shook his head frantically, expressing his incomprehension.

"It's okay, let's kill a horse!"

After killing the horses, they took only a small portion of the cooked meat, and distributed the rest among the villagers.

They had their stomachs full, and asked Yu Lao Liu to arrange a place for them to rest, they didn't sleep at all last night, and they were already too tired to do it.

After noon, the three of them woke up, and immediately got ready, to leave the village and go to Heyuan Mansion.

Although there was only one horse, Yu Lao Liu made a simple carriage for them, so that the three of them could ride this carriage without having to walk.

For the Chengfeng army to capture Heyuan Mansion, the people in the city did not notice it in the slightest, whether it was the defenders or the officials of the government, as well as the people in the city, they should eat and drink as usual.

Xu Xiang and the others entered the city smoothly and were not interrogated.

After this toss, the clothes on the three of them were also dirty. In the eyes of the soldiers defending the city, these three people are the dirt buns from the countryside.

After changing fast horses in the city, he hurried in the direction of Ningdu without stopping, and he did not stop at all.

Five days later, they arrived at Zhongning City.

Zhongning City is a small city, and its location is more than 60 miles south of the Yellow River Tan Town. When I arrived in Zhongning City, I felt the current tension in Ningdu.

For people coming and going, Zhongning City's inventory is very strict.

In this era, there was no such thing as an ID card, and the main thing for entering and leaving the city was to interrogate the place of household registration, and then the situation at home, and do a good job of registration.

When he came to Ningdu, he registered as a merchant from Linhe City, and later settled in Ningdu, even if he was a person from Ningdu.

Of course, Great Xia did not strictly control the population, and if it weren't for this period of war, there would be no need to interrogate people entering and leaving the city.

They entered the city through the south gate, and they were to leave through the north gate.

Xu Xiang didn't go out of the city directly as before, he had to figure out the current situation in Ningdu before making a decision.

After the three of them found an inn to live in, Xu Xiang said to the eldest grandson Mingying: "Miss Mingying, I'll write a letter later." You start from the North City Gate and head north in the direction of the Yellow River, where there is a town under construction. You find a man in the town named Yang Dianfeng and give him the letter. When he sees the letter, he will naturally come back with you. ”

"Okay, young master!"

"Oh, by the way, there should be an army of Great Xia Dragon Sparrow stationed outside the town, don't let them find out when you and Yang Dianfeng come over." Xu Xiang added.

"Young master, don't worry, I know what to do!"

When the eldest grandson Mingying brought Yang Dianfeng over, it was already very late, Xu Xiang and the eldest grandson Mingling had already eaten, and the two of them hurried over all the way, and they had not had time to eat.

So Xu Xiang ordered a table of dishes and asked the two of them to eat first.

"Young Master, you're finally back!" Yang Dianfeng gobbled up his meal and said.

Coming from the Yellow River Beach Town, it takes two hours to ride a fast horse, and the eldest grandson Mingying originally planned to come over after dinner at the Yellow River Beach. But Yang Dianfeng got the news of Xu Xiang, and he couldn't wait for a moment, so he rushed over hungry.

"Well, what's going on with the Yellow River Beach Town now?" He asked.

"Don't worry, young master, everything is going according to your plan. Did the young master go well on this trip? ”

"It's going well. What about the young lady? How is she? Xu Xiang asked nervously, although Luo Min had told him about Jiang Shenyu's situation, but Ningdu's current situation was changing rapidly, and her physical condition made him very worried.

Hearing Xu Xiang ask about Jiang Shenyu, Yang Dianfeng's chopsticks stopped, and the expression on his face was extremely unnatural.

"Say it." Xu Xiang looked at his expression and knew that Jiang Shenyu's situation might not be good.

"Young lady, she ...... Hurt. ”

"What? What hurts? Xu Xiang stood up nervously and asked hurriedly.

"Young Master, don't worry, now the young lady is safe and sound! Don't worry! Yang Dianfeng hurriedly explained.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"It's the Spark Guard." Yang Dianfeng replied, "Young Master, not long after you left Ningdu, the eldest prince ...... Oh no, the King of Chu sent a team of Spark Hidden Guards to Ningdu and found the Xu Mansion. When they learned that you had left Ningdu, they stayed in Xu's mansion, saying that they were waiting for you to return. ”

"In mid-February, there was unrest in Ningdu, and several forces were vying for control of Ningdu. At that time, I saw that Ningdu was so chaotic, and I wanted to take the young lady to the Yellow River Tan Town, but at that time, Ningdu's control was very strict, and I was not allowed to enter or leave. Plus Jolor ...... That is, the Huo Commander of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, you know. She also led the army into Ningdu, and didn't know what to say to the young lady, who allowed her to live in the Xu Mansion. At that time, she assured that the safety of the Xu Mansion would be entrusted to her, so we had no intention of taking the young lady to the Yellow River Beach. ”

"The days of the Ningdu war happened to be rainy weather, and the young lady was also infected with the wind chill. When Dr. Ge Qingsong came to diagnose and treat, he found that he ..... The young lady was overjoyed. ”

"It was originally a thing to be happy about the young lady's happiness, but it happened that she was infected with the wind and cold, and this illness was good and bad, which made the young lady's body more and more weak, and her condition was very bad."

Xu Xiang listened to his narration quietly, and what he said was not much different from what Luo Min said. So he said, "I already know what you said from Luo Min!" But what does all this have to do with the Spark Guard? ”

"The situation at that time was very chaotic, and the Xinghuo Hidden Guard sent by the King of Chu felt that Ning was very unsafe, plus the young lady was pregnant and was your heir. So the Spark Hidden Guard decided to take the young lady back to Nanli City. Originally, the young lady disagreed, but I didn't know what was going on, Xu Cheng actually stood on the side of the Xinghuo hidden guard of the King of Chu and tried his best to persuade him. ”

"I'm not in Ningdu City, and the young lady, under Xu Yi's persuasion, agreed to leave Ningdu with the Xinghuo Hidden Guard for the time being."

It is extremely dangerous to escape Ningdu in this tense situation.

Now in the chaotic battle in Ningdu City, many innocent people have died tragically. The decision of the Xinghuo Hidden Guard was undoubtedly wrong, and he asked in a cold voice, "What about Huo Lingzhuo?" Doesn't she live in Xu's house? Why didn't she stop it? ”

"Xu Yi and the young lady discussed it in private, and they didn't let Commander Huo know. And when they fled, it happened that the Xiao clan of the alliance army defected and defected to the Ming clan, which caused the situation to be very chaotic, and Commander Huo had to deal with this matter. So, she didn't know ......"

When the young lady fled, she was discovered by the soldiers of the Ming clan, and seeing that the Xinghuo hidden guard was invincible, the young lady dragged her sick body to help. But it also caused a sword in the abdomen......"

"Squeak!" Xu Xiang's fist clenched and gurgled, "Stupid! ”

"Which Shaw is it? Xiao Man? Xu Xiang asked again.

Yang Dianfeng nodded.

He slammed his fist on the table, expressing his dissatisfaction with the Xinghuo Hidden Guard and Xu Yi in his heart.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Commander Huo led the army over. This saved the young lady! ”

"No, I can't rush! The more anxious it is, the more chaotic it is! Xu Xiang clenched his fists tightly, "Calm down!" Calm down! ”

"When?" Xu Xiang gritted his teeth and asked.

"It was the night before yesterday. But don't worry, young master, at noon, the news from the Xu Mansion is that the young lady is no longer in trouble, and she only needs to recuperate for half a month. ”

"Okay, I got it!" As long as Jiang Shenyu was fine, he was a little more relieved, "Now let's talk about the situation in Ningdu City?" ”

"Now Ningdu is divided into several areas, among which the Imperial Palace in Qinglong City is temporarily under the control of the Warden Division. In addition, except for the Ming clan's palace and a few surrounding streets, the Qinglong City area was all in the hands of those families and nobles who opposed the Ming clan. Except for the Bailu Gate in the hands of Commander Huo, and the Xuanwu Gate in the hands of the Long Clan, the other thirteen city gates in Ningdu were all controlled by the Ming Clan. ”

"In addition, after the Xiao clan defected to the Ming clan, the entire Vermilion Bird City was firmly controlled by the Xiao clan, except for a few areas around the Xu Mansion that were under the control of the advance army. As for the White Tiger City and Xuanwu City, half of them were occupied by Wu Kai, and the other half was controlled by the Long Clan and the advance army. ”

After listening to his introduction to the situation in Ningdu, Xu Xiang's head was very big, this was really messy!

"If I want to take the sinking fish out of Ningdu, then I will definitely be blocked by the Ming clan or the Xiao clan?" Xu Xiang asked.

"Hmm. The young lady's current situation is not suitable for leaving. Young master, don't worry, the Xu Mansion is now under the command of Commander Huo, and it is very safe! ”

"What about Qin Zhiwei?" Xu Xiang said coldly, he didn't expect that at this time, Qin Zhiwei would still stand by.

"Miss Qin is in the Yellow River Tan Town, she has a mysterious army of ten thousand gods in her hands, I don't know what the combat effectiveness is!"

"Alright, thank you!" Xu Xiang said, "You can go back after eating, and after you go back, tell Qin Zhiwei that I will wait for her in Xu's Mansion and let her come to Xu's Mansion to see me early tomorrow morning!" If you don't come, you do it at your own risk. ”

"Young Master, are you going back to Ningdu tonight? This...... It's too dangerous! Moreover, it will take at least three hours from Zhongning City to Ningdu, and even if you set off now, you will have to wait until later to reach Ningdu. Ningdu's current control at night is stricter than during the day, you can't get in! ”

"I have my own way to get in!" Xu Xiang said lightly, "Just do the things I gave you well~ Pass my words to Qin Zhiwei as they are." ”

"That'...... All right. Yang Dianfeng knew that he couldn't persuade Xu Xiang, "Young master, you must be careful!" ”

"Hmmm! Eat quickly, finish and leave! Xu Xiang got up and left.

He knocked on the door of Changsun Mingling's room, the two girls lived in the same room, Changsun Mingling was wiping her iron spear with a cloth, and Changsun Mingying was eating elegantly one bite at a time.

"Young Master, why are you here, do you have anything else to order?" The eldest grandson Mingling put down the spear and greeted him, and the eldest grandson Mingying made a gesture to put down the dishes and chopsticks and get up to greet him.

"Sit, don't get up!" Xu Xiang raised his hand and motioned for her to continue eating.

"We'll go back to Ningdu tonight." Xu Xiang sat down and spoke.

"No problem, I'll pack up now." The eldest grandson, Mingling, walked to the back room in response and did not ask the reason.

"The young master is in such a hurry to return to Ningdu, must something happened to Ningdu?" The eldest grandson Mingying asked while eating.

"Miss Mingying, how many bullets did you bring with you when you came out this time?" Xu Xiang asked.

Xu Xiang was in a hurry to return to Ningdu, the first was to see Jiang Shenyu as soon as possible, and the second was the person who committed murder to her, and he planned to get rid of it with his own hands.

Even if Jiang Shenyu was fine, he wouldn't let those people go.

"Fifty bullets. Before, you used nine wolves to kill wolves in the mountains and forests, and now there are forty-one left. What's wrong? ”

"Give me the gun." Xu Xiang said lightly, but the killing intent in his words was overflowing.

The eldest grandson Mingying was stunned for a moment, she noticed that Xu Xiang's tone was a little cold, presumably trying to snipe someone. But she knew that Xu Xiang didn't know martial arts, so she said, "Who does the young master want to kill?" Let Mingying do it for you, right? ”

"Nope! I'm going to do it myself! ”
