The Beginning of Troubled Times Chapter 46 The Little Princess and the Unscrupulous Boy
On the same day, north of the Chijiang River, Yingzhou.
Most of the Yingzhou army went to the surrounding counties yesterday to exterminate the rebels, and has not returned, I heard that this time it is the Yellow Dragon Army that has regrouped again, plus the Tiger Army, the total number of the two armies is nearly 50,000, including nearly 10,000 cavalry, I don't know where they got the horses, originally these peasant armies who revolted before were fighting separately, and they looked at each other unpleasantly, but this time they actually united, and within three days they defeated the two counties of Ruxi and Anyang, and the county guards of the two counties were directly killed, and the scholars were sparing their lives, In this way, it will be more difficult to send officials to take office again.
Tuoba Yan has rarely moved since he occupied the imperial capital, and has been watching, or rather, he is waiting for an opportunity. Now that there is a mess outside the gate, maybe he is sitting on the dragon chair in the imperial capital and smiling from ear to ear.
In today's world, Tuoba Yan holds Xiliang, Beiyuan Prefecture, Bingzhou, and the land of Gyeonggi included in Apocalypse City, plus a piece of Yanzhou, which is already in Tuoba Yan's bag, he has already taken nearly one-third of Daxi's land, plus the world's unparalleled Jackdaw and Chiyun Iron Rider, it is only a matter of time before he conquers the entire world.
After Wen Li fled from the Apocalypse City, he took the "emperor" all the way north and arrived at Youbei, Sizhou, Youbei, and Liangzhou were guarding the new imperial city like an iron bucket, and they seized every opportunity to breathe, unwilling to give up the world at their fingertips, and were looking for opportunities to rise again.
Yingzhou Mu Xu Muzhi, is a very ambitious person, he is in the middle of the two major forces, but did not choose to belong to one of them, but to accumulate power in his own territory, Yingzhou is still martial, the people are fierce, they are not willing to spare their lives on the battlefield, so the two major forces are not willing to provoke this hedgehog.
And Xu Muzhi, he, is also waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity big enough for him to hold the authority of the world.
As for the southern states, Yangzhou is the largest, but the state and the state are all new capitals, located in the north of Yangzhou, Huaiyang in the south, is the largest port in the world, and is a richer existence than the Apocalypse City, on the surface, it is still the land of Daxi, subject to the laws of Daxi, but in fact, it is the rich businessmen who check and balance each other, each of them has a private army, even the smallest family, will raise an army of three or five hundred people, and the rich businessmen, at least three thousand starts, the rules they make, even the county guards have to listen.
Yuezhou and Jingzhou are cowering on the ground, and they don't plan to participate in this troubled dispute at all.
There are very few pedestrians in Yingzhou City in the evening, and Huaiyang is very different, especially on this short street called Bi'an, if it weren't for the two red lanterns hanging outside the door of the small restaurant, Yang Guangfu thought it was a ghost town, he was an assassin, but he was notoriously timid and afraid of ghosts.
He walked into the restaurant, naturally walked to a table in the corner and sat down, poured himself a glass of wine first, drank it all in one gulp, Xiao Er was roasting the fire by the counter, almost falling asleep, and when he saw him come in, he just raised his eyes and closed his eyes again, not looking like a businessman at all.
The two people at the same table did not speak, one of them was burly, named Zheng Zhiquan, who was also drinking wine silently, and the handsome young man next to him, who was quite a bit of Yushu Linfeng, was called Bai Jiujiu, he was twisting the peanuts in the plate with his hands and sending them to his mouth one by one.
Yang Guangfu finished drinking, rubbed his hands, and said softly, "Check it out, now there are a total of thirty-two guards in the little princess's mansion, all of them are good hands, and the patrol is still changed every half an hour a few days ago, three people per round, and there are always two guards in front of the little princess's room, which is probably the leader's room that has been downstairs of the little princess, and there are two other guards next to the leader." ”
Zheng Zhiquan put down his wine glass, hummed, and didn't speak again, Bai Jiujiu kept eating peanuts, as if he hadn't heard Yang Guangfu's words, Yang Guangfu was not surprised, and asked them again, "How about it, do you want to do it tonight?" ”
Zheng Zhiquan is a master who doesn't like to talk, he raised his head and looked at Bai Jiujiu, as if waiting for his answer, and Bai Jiujiu, the youngest of them, was actually the head of their group, there were seven of them, and they all obeyed him, just because, his strength was the strongest among them.
After Bai Jiujiu finished eating the last peanut on the plate, he raised his head and said slowly, "Just tonight." ”
Yang Guangfu and Zheng Zhiquan nodded, got up and left, leaving Bai Jiujiu sitting alone in his place, smashing his mouth and mouth, as if he hadn't eaten enough.
That little girl's osmanthus cake is really delicious, he suddenly laughed, patted the table, and woke up Xiao Er, who was napping, "Xiao Er, bring me another plate of peanuts." ”
Xiao Er scolded and got up and left the stove, if it weren't for the fact that this group of people had booked a room for a long time, and the brother-in-law shopkeeper let himself serve them well, he would have greeted their ancestors for eighteen generations, so now, he only greeted their ancestors for three generations. He brought a plate of peanuts and threw them in front of Bai Jiu, most of the peanuts were thrown out of the plate by him, and they were about to roll to the ground, but Bai Jiujiu lifted the plate and put almost all the peanuts back at the moment when they fell out of the plate, and there were a few scattered outside, which were grabbed by him one by one, Xiao Er naturally didn't see this scene, if he saw it, he probably had to smash his jaw to the ground, and he had to greet his mother again.
Bai Jiujiu threw the peanuts in his mouth and chewed them, and he was not angry at Xiao Er's attitude, he sat on the stool and crossed Erlang's legs, his head rested on his hands, and threw the peanuts one by one into his mouth.
......
At night, the clouds cover the moon, and there is no one around.
Several black shadows marched quickly on the eaves, without a sound, they were all wearing night clothes without exception, covering their faces with black cloth, except for Bai Jiujiu, he was still wearing the same clothes as during the day, but symbolically covered his face with a black cloth, if Yang Guangfu hadn't stopped him, he would even want to put on a fat doll mask.
"So, what are you doing so seriously?" Bai Jiujiu said suddenly.
None of the remaining six people made a sound, Bai Jiujiu scratched his head, and said, "It's embarrassing for me that you don't answer me like this, you know?" Since I am your boss, you must follow me in everything, otherwise I will be angry and ...... I won't give you food. ”
Yang Guangfu's face is full of black lines, this Bai Jiu has an unpredictable temperament, sometimes deep, looks very arrogant, and sometimes talks a lot, like a man in his thirties who is a good thing in the market, such as now.
"Since it's a job, you have to talk less." It was Zheng Zhiquan, he had very few words, but he "respected" Bai Jiujiu very much, just because at his own request, the eighteen-year-old boy had more than ten battles with him, without exception, he was all defeated, and he was still merciful under the other party.
Bai Jiu sighed and lightly jumped over a two-zhang wide alley, "Then it's the same as Zheng Da said, do more things and talk less." ”
"Don't die in there." He said again.
The little princess's abode.
There is only a wall between this and Xu Muzhi's mansion, but Xu Muzhi is not in Yingzhou City at the moment, the guards walked through every corner of this big mansion with torches, excluding every thing that might be dangerous, they didn't dare to relax the slightest, because they had been ordered to die, if the little princess was robbed, then their lives would be gone.
"I heard that Lord Xu is going to exterminate those rebels this time? Those rebels are so powerful, they all need Lord Xu to go out in person? One of the guards said suddenly.
"Who knows? It's just that I heard that this time the rebels are huge, there are a lot of people, and the local army can't defeat them, so Lord Xu went there. The guard in the middle replied.
"Don't talk, we're on patrol now!" The guard at the front roared in a low voice, he is similar to the role of the squad leader among the three, the strength is slightly stronger than the two behind him, and the two behind him are also old acquaintances, usually when he says this, they will shut up immediately, like now, but he always feels that something is wrong, usually there must be more noise, he subconsciously wanted to look back at them, just turned sideways, a knife against his throat, before he could make a sound, his throat was cut, and the man in black gently put his body on the ground, Like the two remaining corpses, they were dragged into the nearest room.
Ye Yuxuan sat by the window, leaning sideways slightly, eating the last half box of osmanthus cake in small bites, he looked at the dark night sky, and the heavy clouds, there was a little loss in his heart, there is no moon tonight, she thought. There was a sudden noise behind her, someone pushed the door in, she didn't look back, because she didn't like the people here, she didn't like it at all, they always greeted each other with a smile, but they ...... Very intimidating.
"Yo, little princess, we're meeting again." Bai Jiujiu said suddenly.
Ye Yuxuan turned his head suddenly, looking at the young man in front of him who was dressed in white but covered with a black cloth on his face, and there was a smile on his face that he hadn't seen for a long time.
Song Changbang suddenly opened his eyes, his ears were very sensitive, he noticed a sound from upstairs, he waved his hand, the two guards beside him immediately understood, and went out of the room lightly, about to go upstairs to check the news, but bumped into the guard who came to report the news, the guard's voice trembled, and he said the problem he had just discovered: Quietly, there were thirty-two good guards in the mansion, and suddenly nine were missing, until the shift was changed, and no one came back for a long time, and we found those bodies in a cornerbut the Assassins were nowhere to be seen.
Song Changbang suddenly became furious, and he roared loudly, "You bunch of waste! Go upstairs and see if the little princess is still there! ”
"Yes...... Be! The guards broke out in a cold sweat, stumbled upstairs, and with a loud bang, they suddenly rolled down the stairs together, Song Changbang looked up, and there was a burly man in black standing there, looking at the people downstairs indifferently.
