The silence of the night was broken by the barking of chickens and dogs......

Xiao Han was dragged up by life, and before he could get out of bed, he was suffocated by a cold snort.

Now I can only open my eyes very depressed, looking at the three uninvited guests standing in front of the bed.

No need to ask, there must be Cui Jingzhi and Yang Wenwen among these three, and the last person left is Sun Simiao and Sun Daochang.

Just after eating a closed door outside the Xiao Mansion, Cui Jingzhi was in a hurry, ran directly to Sun Simiao's house, knocked on the door, and explained the situation to Sun Simiao, who was known to be compassionate.

Sure enough, as soon as Sun Simiao heard that the people outside the city were going to suffer, he didn't say a word, he couldn't even wear clothes, so he put on his coat and came to Xiao Han with them.

On the way, those palace guards who were still angry just now saw Sun Lao Immortal, and they were honest in an instant, not to mention blocking the door, they didn't dare to put a fart, they stood aside, and let the three of them rampage into the mansion.

Jokes, all over the world, those who dare to call immortals are Sun Simiao! Even if this lord goes to the palace, the emperor will have to open the middle door to welcome him in! Not to mention a small Hou Mansion, who would dare to stop it?

The brain was still a little confused, Xiao Han tried to shake it, trying to make himself more sober, and when he realized that it was useless, he subconsciously reached out to grab the teapot, wanting to rely on the tea leaves to refresh himself.

However, this grasp caught an empty one, and the low table next to the bed was empty, and there was nothing!

It was only at this time that he suddenly remembered: He seemed to be smashing people with it just now?

Retracting his hand, Xiao Han yawned again, and said dissatisfiedly: "Big brother, uncle, ancestor!" What are you playing at this late hour? Do you want people to sleep? Did you know that I have been severely sleep-deprived lately? ”

There is nothing wrong with this, these days, Xue Pan always dislikes him for not sleeping honestly, for fear of accidentally pressing the child, so he sleeps with her mother, causing Xiao Han to always stay alone in the empty boudoir, afraid of loneliness and cold......

Today, I finally fell asleep, and I was dragged up, and I didn't get mad on the spot, I already gave my grandson enough face!

"You still want to sleep? Something big is going on outside, do you know? Sun Simiao glared at Xiao Han, who was in a daze, and couldn't help but snort angrily.

"Big deal? Big things can also be said tomorrow......" Xiao Han didn't hear it in his heart at all, muttered, and his body began to sway again.

"You...... Ay! ”

Seeing Xiao Han's sleepy appearance as a dog, Sun Simiao sighed heavily, he had no choice but to step forward and rub his temples twice.

Don't say it, just this rubbing, I am really refreshed and energetic!

(Nonsense, if anyone pinched your head with their nails so hard, you would definitely be more sober than I am!) Xiao Han said...... ）

"Alright, alright! Stop pinching, sober! Hiss ......"

Fluttering back a few times like an electric shock, it wasn't until his back against the wall that Xiao Han got rid of Sun Simiao's claws, covered his aching head, and looked at Sun Simiao depressedly.

"Awake? When you wake up, listen to Chief Cui's words! Sun Simiao didn't feel guilty at all because he had done something to Xiao Han, but shook his hand and gave an unceremonious order.

"Lady Cui?" Xiao Han rolled his eyes, reluctantly turned his head and asked Cui Jingzhi, "What big deal can we do?" Could it be that there is a fire there? Then I should go to the Water Dragons? ”

It's no wonder that Xiao Han thinks so, in Yangzhou in his memory, it seems that since Yang Guang's death, there have been no major records.

Not to mention the military disaster, there are not even many thieves! In such a place, what kind of big thing can happen, so that the chief official and the county magistrate come to the door late at night at the same time?

"Back to Hou Ye, it's not on fire!" Cui Jingzhi didn't have Xiao Han's humorous cells, and when he saw that Xiao Han finally asked himself, he hurriedly said with a bitter face: "It's a big deal!" Do you know our Lord Thorn? ”

"Yangzhou Thorn History?" Xiao Han scratched his head, he had never seen this Yangzhou assassin history, and he had never seen his daughter come to the full moon, so he subconsciously asked: "What, does he want to make up the full moon ceremony for my daughter?" ”

"Uh......"

When they heard Xiao Han's words, Cui Jingzhi and Yang Wenwen, who were present, rolled their eyes almost at the same time!

As for Sun Simiao, he flicked his sleeves and turned his back directly.

Looking at that look, it was as if he was afraid that if he looked at Xiao Han for a while, he would be tempted to slap him to death......

"Ahem......"

Finally, Cui Jingzhi jumped out of Xiao Han's whimsical thinking, and he coughed lightly and said, "The matter of the full moon ceremony, Lord Thorn Shi probably doesn't know yet!" Because he is now trapped in Chuzhou, and he doesn't know ...... life or death."

Xiao Han was stunned when he heard this, frowned and said, "What? Trapped in Chuzhou? Don't know if you live or die? You're not kidding, are you? ”

Cui Jingzhi smiled bitterly again and again: "Master Hou, how can I joke about this kind of thing?" The news that just arrived today, Lord Assassin Shi set off with 3,000 strong soldiers, but was ambushed halfway and almost wiped out! ”

"What? This is when it happened! Where did he go with three thousand men? Who ambushed him? Hearing this, Xiao Han's expression finally became solemn, staring at Cui Jingzhi and asking.

"Lord Assassin Shi led his troops to help Chuzhou, and the ambush should have been yesterday, as for the attack on him, it must be those pirates!" Cui Jingzhi hurriedly replied.

"Haikou? What's that? Pirates? How did pirates appear in Yangzhou? Is there sea freight here? Xiao Hanhu looked at Cui Jingzhi suspiciously, and asked several questions in a row.

Cui Jingzhi shook his head and said, "Haikou are not pirates, they are a group of robbers from the sea!" Ships are also rarely robbed, and this is only once a year in the spring and autumn when they come ashore to plunder! ”

"Come every year? Why haven't I heard about it in Chang'an?! Xiao Han asked again.

Cui Jingzhi's face was bitter, and he explained: "Before, these Haikou were not large-scale, and they basically belonged to grabbing and leaving!" So we have been exterminating them as bandits, and the court should not care about it. ”

"Should? Can annihilate 3,000 strong pirates, but they are not on a scale? Xiao Han was a little annoyed, he lost 3,000 people in the first battle, this kind of combat power, the imperial court didn't take it seriously? What do those military bosses eat?

"That Xiao Hou is angry!" Yang Wenwen saw that it was not good on the side, and hurriedly came out to explain: "In the past, there were only a few hundred people in the past, and there were only a dozen people in the few. ”

"And how many of them are there now?" Xiao Han held back his anger and asked coldly.

"Probably, less than 10,000 people?" Cui Jingzhi's forehead sweated, and he replied uncertainly.

"Who are they?" Xiao Han asked coldly.

In fact, he had just heard them say that these people were coming from the sea, and a name instantly appeared in his mind, but it was quickly rejected again.

Shouldn't it have been only in the Song and Ming dynasties? Haven't you heard of it in the Tang Dynasty? Besides, Jianzhen crossed to the east six times before he succeeded, so there is no reason why the little devil can come and go freely.

"Well, they're a lot of people! There are Han Chinese, there are Silla, there are Koreans, and it is said that there are people from a country in the east, which seems to be called something......"

"Wa Kingdom?"
