Volume 2 The First Entry into the Beijing Division Chapter 159 Robbery and Killing
The weeds swayed gently with the autumn wind, and the small streams formed by the blood pooling together flowed slowly down the official road, and I didn't know where to go.
Suddenly, the big hands that had been covered with blood suddenly pressed into the mud, blocking the blood's journey to a distant place.
"Boss, there's still a living one!"
A rough noise rang out in the dead air, and it was extremely harsh.
"Kill it!"
He was answered by another voice full of impatience and irritability.
The owner of the big bloodstained hand saw a bandit walking towards him with a knife with a sinister smile, and his face was full of fear:
"Don't kill me, I'm the ...... of the Marquis of Xiling"
Before the words fell, the knife-carrying bandit raised and fell, and a big head flew into the sky.
He spat on the corpse and shouted scolding:
"Grandma's, these Xiling people can really fight, if they hadn't buried the ambush nails on the road in advance and stabbed the horses, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to beat these Xiling people."
At the same time, another bandit, who had already touched the carriage and was cutting the chains on the boxes on the carriage, also said:
"What's the matter, when I came, there were more than 30 brothers, a few died, a few ran away, and the third child was still lying on the ground howling, if there were not enough goods here, wouldn't it be in vain?"
With that, he finally cut the chains from the box.
The rest of the bandits hurriedly surrounded it, only to see that the box was full of small bottles.
"Good guy, these many noble incense, if you have a thousand taels per bottle, aren't we sending it?!"
As soon as this man's voice fell, the boss slapped him on the head:
"What do you want?! I want you to do good things! This is stolen goods, can we sell them at that market price? And he provided us with such important information, can we not repay this affection? ”
As a group of people spoke, they drove the carriage away, leaving only a place where the corpses of Xiling rotted in the autumn wind to moisten the earth.
"Hou Gongzi, you're here."
Xingchun Garden, the main gate, Zhou Xuan, who had been waiting at the main gate for a long time, saw that Hou Shigui finally appeared, so he brought a group of friends to greet him.
Oral Call:
"I've seen Hou Gongzi."
Hou Shigui glanced inside and found that it was all Chu Jing's rich young master and young lady singing and dancing inside.
Hearing that there was less evil in Xiling, many people turned their eyes to it.
"Is this Hou Shigui? He looks like a human. ”
"I heard that the noble incense is the property of his concubine? I don't know if it's true or not? ”
"Cut, what Xiling is evil? Didn't you just kill that surnamed Gao? That's the surname Gao didn't provoke this son, otherwise which round would get this Hou Shigui? ”
These young men have a big background and a big force behind them.
In the past, I was used to being unscrupulous, and I didn't know how to avoid taboos when I spoke.
pointed at him in front of Hou Shigui, and he didn't feel anything wrong at all.
Hou Shigui would not have the same knowledge as these people because of a few words, and after following Zhou Xuan into Xingchun Garden, he found that most of the gardens were beautiful pools.
There are very few places for people to stand on their feet.
So the sons and ladies were divided into two groups and stood in two different places.
Seeing this scene, Hou Shigui knew that this was going to be a talent competition or something like that.
"Uninteresting."
He muttered a sentence, then found a place to stand everywhere, and ignored Zhou Xuan.
And since Zhou Xuan led Hou Shigui into this Xingchun Garden, he has never said more than half a word to him.
As for his friends, they didn't even look at Hou Shigui much, and a group of people just went to the side to chat by themselves.
Seeing this, Hou Shigui laughed and introduced himself into Xingchun Garden, this Zhou Xuan's task is also completed, what else is waiting for him next?
Hou Shigui stood alone in the corner in a daze, and the people around him were far away from him like a plague god.
Hou Shigui didn't mind, he only looked around for a while, and after finding that there were no acquaintances, he was ready to find a place to sit down and rest for a while.
Before he could find a place, a voice came from the riverbank in the distance.
It's just that the distance is too far, the sound is fragmentary, and the people around him are noisy, so that he can't hear what is being said on the other side at all.
I only vaguely heard a few words:
"Prince." "Luckily." "Event."
Prince?
Hearing this, Hou Shigui was in good spirits.
That day, Tianhe Mansion, the king of Nafu was deceived by Lin Lao and mistakenly thought that the prince wanted to let him die, so he took action against himself.
Speaking of which, what does this Yang He's son look like?
Picking up his feet and looking, he saw a few people standing on the high platform on the riverbank in the distance, and behind those people, there were a few screens to block it, and he couldn't see the people behind the screens, but he thought that the prince should be in it.
At the same time, Zhou Xuan seemed to finally remember that there was still such a number one person as Hou Shigui in the world, so he leaned to Hou Shigui and said:
"Don't worry, Hou Gongzi, I have arranged it for you, and you will pass the assessment directly later, and you can go to the other side!"
Assess? What assessment?
Hou Shigui didn't know why, and he still wanted to ask again, but Zhou Xuan said again:
"Today's Xingchun Meeting, not only the prince, but also the Western Regions delegation came to see my Dachu style.
Those barbarians in the Western Regions don't know etiquette, and after entering Beijing, they have repeatedly quarreled with the people of my Great Chu, Hou Gongzi, don't give them a good look! ”
Do you want me to have a dispute with the Western Regions Mission and then be condemned by His Majesty? This trick doesn't even work for children, right?
This Zhou Xuan's IQ should not be as good as that of children, right?
Hou Shigui glanced at Zhou Xuan sympathetically, and only nodded:
"I see."
If you know, you know, whether you go to the other side or not, that's another story.
Originally, Hou Shigui came to participate in this Xingchun Party because he had no choice but to do it, knowing that Zhou Xuan had bad intentions, and still left according to his arrangement, isn't it stupid?
So, Hou Shigui only clasped his hands on his chest and stood here watching coldly.
No matter how noisy the scene was, he didn't move a single cent.
Until the noise ended, for some reason the roll call began in front of him, and his name was read out, and he was not going to agree.
But the crowd suddenly shouted:
"What? Even Hou Shigui can pass the assessment, why can't this son pass?! ”
"Then Hou Shigui has no talent and no virtue, how can he pass the assessment?"
"It's unfair, it's definitely the person who Hou Shigui privately bought the assessment! It's unfair! ”
Hou Shigui was also puzzled, he had been standing motionless from beginning to end, because the surrounding voices were too noisy, and he didn't know what the assessment was.
Zhou Xuan's waste of such strength is just for a scam that even children can't fool?
Just when Hou Shigui was puzzled, a middle-aged man on the river on the opposite bank shouted:
"Where the prince is, how can he tolerate the noise? Quiet! ”
All of a sudden, everyone fell silent, and then the man, seeing that there was a small boat on the other side that was unboarded, frowned, and exclaimed:
"Where is Hou Shigui?! But don't dare to board the ship?! ”
Dared? Immature.
Hou Shigui didn't think about it, and was about to turn around and leave.
