Chapter 393: Assassination
The day after the eunuch Luo Xiang left Yuncheng County, Xu Jin also escorted the prisoners to Ziyang County, where the capital of Yanzhou was located, with a total of 500 Jinyi guards and 3,000 Linqing guards escorting.
As for the more than 5,000 horses who returned to Dewei, they had already entered the Yanzhou capital a few days in advance, and took over Yanzhou Wei there, and Yanzhou Wei commanded Zhao Fengchun's henchmen in the army to be either arrested or demoted. It can be said that the current Yanzhou Wei has completely fallen into Xu Jin's grasp.
It is said that Dongchang Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion add up to only two guards, namely Linqing Wei and Yanzhou Guard, which are only 11,200 people when they are full, plus the Gui Dewei who was transferred from Henan, that is to say, Xu Jin currently has a total of three guards under his control, about 16,700 people, and in fact, it has to be discounted, because most of these local guards are not satisfied.
Yuncheng is about 200 miles away from the capital city of Yanzhou, and due to the large number of prisoners escorted, it is estimated that it will take three days to reach the capital city of Yanzhou.
At noon on August 20, the team finally reached seven or eight miles west of Yanzhou City, and after walking for half an hour, it should be able to enter the city through the west gate of Yanzhou City.
At noon, the sun was shining and the weather was relatively hot, Xu Jin ordered the team to stop and rest on the spot, bury the pot to cook by the way, and then rush to Yanzhou City after eating.
At the same time, there were four fast horses galloping on the official road north of Yanzhou City, and the knights on the horses were all wearing hats, and their bodies leaned forward slightly when they galloped, and they rose and fell as the horses ran, obviously their riding skills were quite exquisite.
When the four horses galloped to the gate of the city, they began to slow down, and when they got on the straight into the city, they turned over and dismounted, and honestly led the horses into the city, and took off the hats they were wearing. I saw that the head of the person had eyebrows like sharp knives, and his nose was short but hooked, and it was Zhao Quan, the eldest disciple of the White Lotus Sect, and the other three were the dwarf Qiu Fu, Sun Cai, and Jing Zhen.
After Zhao Quan and the four of them led the horses into the city, they first found an inn to settle down, and then went to the restaurant on the street for lunch.
The four of them found a table facing the street in the restaurant and sat down, ordered a few dishes and two pots of wine, and chatted in a low voice while eating.
The thin man Qiu Fu chewed the steamed bun in a big gulp, and said in a deep voice: "Jing Zhen, you kid are sure that you are not mistaken, Senior Sister Xue is actually with the sour son surnamed Xu." ”
Qiu Gui, the younger brother of the thin man Qiu Fu, "died" in the hands of Xu Jin, so Qiu Fu hated Xu Jin very much, and followed Xu Jin and Xiao Huai all the way before, originally wanted to snipe Xu Jin with a hidden arrow, but he followed Xiao Huai to Puzhou by mistake. Even if this cargo is fateful, he did not follow Xiao Huai to inspect the embankment that night, but escaped the flood.
Jing Zhen nodded affirmatively and said, "Absolutely not mistaken, I saw Senior Sister Xue riding a horse and following that Xu Jin." ”
After Jing Zhen finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Zhao Quan, and the disciples in the sect all knew that Xue Bingxin was the forbidden body of the senior brother.
It is said that after Jing Zhen saw Xue Bingxin enter the Yuncheng County Ya that day, he had doubts in his heart, so he secretly watched, and the next morning he saw Xue Bingxin riding a horse and mixing in the Jinyi guard team, accompanying Xu Jin to the direction of Yanzhou Mansion.
So Jing Zhen immediately rode back to Fanxian Dart Store to report the matter to Zhao Quan, and Zhao Quan immediately decided to rush to Yanzhou Mansion to find out. Because they were riding fast horses, Zhao Quan and the others entered the city one step ahead of Xu Jin.
Sun Cai frowned and said, "Senior Sister Xue won't be coerced by Xu Jin, right?" ”
Jing Zhen said hesitantly: "This ...... Maybe, but it doesn't feel like it, Senior Sister Xue and that Xu Jin are like...... Quite familiar! ”
Qiu Fu couldn't help scolding: "Damn, Xu Suzi's little white face looks like a dog, and these scholars are used to coaxing women, could it be that Senior Sister Xue was coaxed by him?" ”
Zhao was pale, the wine glass in his hand silently shattered into powder, and Jing Zhen and the others looked at each other in shock.
Sun Cai glared at Qiu Fu and said, "Thin monkey, let go of your mother's shit, Senior Sister Xue is not so superficial." ”
Qiu Fu glanced at Zhao Quan, and said with a wry expression: "Yes, yes, yes, I'll fart!" ”
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the street, and Zhao Quan and the others looked at the street through the window.
"Lord Qin sent Xu into the city!"
"Xu Qingtian has entered the city!"
The people on the street rushed to tell each other, and the shops and restaurants on both sides of the street were soon crowded with people, waiting towards the end of the street one by one.
It is said that Xu Jin presided over disaster relief during this time, coupled with the vigorous and resolute inventory of the granary, arrested a large number of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and also beheaded a group of officials in charge of the granary on the spot, so the reputation among the people is very good, and he is deeply loved by ordinary people. Of course, a considerable number of local officials hated and feared Xu Jin, and secretly called him "Xu beheaded".
Soon, rows of officials with water and fire sticks in their hands ran over and stood on both sides of the street to maintain order, strictly forbidding the people to run into the street, so as not to block the honor guard of the Qincha.
About the time of the tea, a team wearing flying fish suits, embroidered spring knives on their waists of the brocade guards along the street walked along the street, a Xuanhuang regiment dragon flag waving in the wind, in front of the team there are officials specially sounding gongs to open the way, majestic breath blowing in the face.
Zhao Quan stood up and walked to the window, his eyes swept towards the long team of brocade guards like an eagle, and suddenly his face sank, and his fists clenched involuntarily.
I saw that surrounded by a group of brocade guards, a young man wearing a cyan official robe, calmly and naturally riding on a horse, with red lips and white teeth, was handsome.
Xue Bingxin was wearing a snow-white bearded suit, with bright eyes and red lips, pretty eyes, and a slender figure, although she was a woman dressed as a man, Zhao Quan still recognized it at a glance.
Seeing Xue Bingxin riding a horse and walking side by side with Xu Jin, the two seemed to be chatting in a low voice, Zhao Quan's eyes couldn't help flashing a flash of jealousy, and he suddenly looked up at the opposite street as if he was conscious.
Across the street was a teahouse, and at this moment, half of his body suddenly peeked out of the window on the second floor, and the man's hands were holding an object in a strange posture, and the thing was still smoking.
"Fire Hammer...... Someone wants to assassinate Xu Jin! ”
A thought flashed through Zhao Quan's mind, and then a wave of excitement quickly surged into his mind, and he couldn't wait to turn his gaze back to the street, and quickly locked on Xu Jin on horseback. Thinking that this "little white face" was about to rush blood and roll off the horse, Zhao Quan was inexplicably excited, and his hands couldn't help trembling slightly.
"Be careful, there are assassins!" Xue Bingxin had been riding a horse to follow Xu Jin's side, and suddenly saw the fire gun sticking out of the teahouse, and immediately gave a warning, and at the same time stretched out his hand to grab the reins of Xu Jin's mount.
Bang......
As the fire bolt exploded, a bright red blood flower bloomed in the air! ()
