Chapter 289: Fight Under the Moon
Xu Ning walked quickly into Jiang De's office, office, which is also a unique name for the industrial zone.
Xu Ning looked at Jiang De, who was sitting inside, and Xu Guanzhong, who was standing, and said, "The last general has seen the commander, Mr. Xu, I don't know what happened to the commander to call the last general?" ”
Jiang De waved his hand and said, "Say, when no one is around, don't do this, Xu Jiaotou, there are a few news here, I hope you can listen calmly." ”
Mr. Xu pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Xu Jiaotou, sit down first." ”
Xu Ning felt that something was wrong, and sat down slowly, Jiang De looked at Xu Ning with a grim face and said, "Xu Jiaotou, I received the flying pigeon summons, about half a month ago, your mansion was stolen, and nothing else in the mansion was lost, except for the loss of your treasure armor." ”
"What? But my golden armor in the wild goose ring? Xu Ning said in disbelief: "Where did the thief come from... My inner man is too, why is he so careless... This, that's so good! ”
Jiang De waved his hand to stop Xu Ning, who was still about to speak, and continued, "Mrs. Guifu went to Kaifeng Mansion to report the case as soon as possible, and there was no news from Kaifeng Mansion for several days, and about ten days ago, news came out again, and Mrs. Guifu was gone. ”
"What?" Xu Ning instantly felt a little dark, just now he was still comforting himself in his heart when he lost the treasure armor, but the thief didn't hurt his wife, but he didn't expect the news to follow.
Jiang De nodded, affirmed the reliability of his news, and said the last news, "In addition, according to the news from Tokyo, there is also Gao Ji, the only son of the high palace marshal, who disappeared with the lady of your mansion, and now the officials and soldiers in Tokyo City are looking for these two. ”
"Why is there that high yaman in it?" Xu Ning thought of countless possibilities, no matter which one he had, he was extremely afraid.
Jiang De shook his head and said, "It's not clear, the information brought by the flying pigeon book is limited, but fortunately, we are not far from Kaifeng Mansion here, so I will give you leave, you immediately take the fast horse home to see what is going on during this period." ”
Xu Ning didn't have the heart to stay here any longer, and after thanking Jiang De, he left quickly to prepare things.
"Teach the head slowly!" Xu Guanzhong stopped Xu Ning and said to Jiang De, "My lord, this matter involves the palace marshal's mansion, I'm afraid it won't be easy, and the head of the sect will go alone, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”
Jiang De patted his head, took out pen and ink, wrote two letters, wrapped them and handed them to Xu Ning and said, "Jiaotou, I guess I am afraid that there is something else in this matter, you take these two letters, one is sent to the Taishi, such a matter is related to the palace marshal's mansion, the Taishi looks at my face, maybe he will help you deal with one or two, one is sent to my teacher and girl in Qionglou, the official family loves the teacher and the girl very much, if she thinks you need to deal with it, she will also help you with a few words in front of the official."
In addition, if you go to Zhao Wenshan and get fifty taels of gold, you will say that I said it, if you want to spend money, it will be more convenient. ”
Xu Ning was moved in his heart and said, "Thank you Xiaolangjun, I will accept this letter, but this gold is absolutely impossible!" ”
Jiang De sighed and said, "You idiot, let you take it, if you don't need it, you can take it back." ”
Xu Ning thanked him and accepted it, and after seeing Xu Ning leave, Jiang De said to Xu Guanzhong, "Go and let the Diting Battalion and the Secret Battalion work together to set up the bureau, by the way, what is going on in Gao Yanei now?" ”
Xu Guanzhong said with a smile, "According to the lord's instructions, I just fed some aphrodisiacs, let her stay with the sow for a while, and then used a rusty bone knife to cut a small section of skin on the lower body of the guy, and there will be no worries about her life in a short time." ”
Jiang De nodded and smiled, "That's it, just die, wouldn't it be cheaper for him, okay, it's just a small role, we don't need to spend too much energy, Tianxiang Academy is our current big deal." ”
Not to mention that Jiang De and Xu Guanzhong were discussing the affairs of Tianxiang Academy here, Xu Ning here hurried to Kaifeng Mansion and walked to the territory of Dongming, suddenly the horse stumbled and threw Xu Ning to the ground, Xu Ning got up with a sigh, and hurriedly looked at the horse by the sunset, only to see that the horse got up for half a day, fortunately the bones were not broken, but there were some turns when he walked, so a fall, the horse could not run for a short time, Xu Ning looked at the sky, then gritted his teeth and led the horse, and walked forward slowly, wanting to find a place to rest.
After a forest, Xu Ning was pleasantly surprised to see a village, there was a restaurant at the entrance of the village, Xu Ning stepped forward quickly, a junior second walked out, saw Xu Ning in the dust, stepped forward and said, "This military master, but you want to live in a hotel?" ”
Xu Ning took off the sickle hook from the victory hook and said, "Stay in the hotel, you can buy mules and horses here, my horse has a leg and can't run, I want to keep it here for a while, rest assured, this silver is indispensable to you." ”
Xiao Er said happily when he heard this, "This is good, but Master Jun, we have mules in our village, but we don't have horses, but today a group of people came, all riding horses, and there are many more, why don't you ask them if they are willing to sell you one, they are eating inside." As he spoke, Xiao Er pointed to the manger, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen horses grazing quietly.
Xu Ning touched his burden, thought of the gold given by Jiang De, and was secretly grateful in his heart, walked into the store, and saw that there were indeed a few people eating, Xu Ning walked to a table and hugged his fists and said, "Brothers, the horses outside are yours?" ”
The four people in the position raised their heads and looked at Xu Ning, and one said, "So what?" Saying that, the rest of the people also looked at Xu Ning, what Xu Ning didn't notice was that when one of them saw Xu Ning, his eyes shrank suddenly, and then he quickly lowered his head.
Xu Ning smiled and said, "That's the case, my horse lost its front hoof, it's not easy to hurry, I have something important to go to the capital, I heard that you have a lot of horses, I don't know if you can sell one?" ”
"Go, go, where did the red guy come from?" One of the four said impatiently, "You can't afford our horse, let's go!" ”
Xu Ning was anxious, took out a gold ingot and said, "I'm really in a hurry, please give up one." ”
When the four of them saw the gold, their eyes straightened, Xu Ning looked at the eyes of the four people, the sickle hook gun in his hand tightened, and the blade shone on the four of them under the reflection of the sunset, and the four of them immediately sobered up, looking at the blade in Xu Ning's hand, knowing that this was not a person to be messed with, the four of them glanced at each other, and then looked at the gold, a little moved, at this time, a person at the other table stood up and said, "This brother, we are all running on the rivers and lakes, of course we have to help if we are in trouble, but these horses are also very important to us, so let's do it, May we think about it, how about getting back to you tomorrow? ”
Xu Ning felt that there was a drama when he heard it, and looked at the man, only to see that the person was wearing a gauze hat on his head, covering his face, but he felt a little familiar when he heard the voice, and he always felt that he had heard it somewhere, Xu Ning still wanted to look at him carefully, so the man turned around and said, "You guys rest early after eating, I'm a little tired." ”
Xu Ning saw that everyone else didn't pay attention to him anymore, thinking that it would not be too late to talk about it tomorrow, so he ordered the wine and food to eat, and while eating, he thought about who that person was, he only felt extremely familiar, but he couldn't remember anything, and finally he didn't want to, so he went up to rest after eating.
Xu Ning was resting on the bed, and in the room on the other side, several people were talking secretly.
"My lord, is that person really Xu Ning?" One asked.
"It must be him, don't you see his blade? I have just stabilized him with words, and I am going to kill him tonight, so I can go back and explain to the palace marshal!" The man who took the lead said with a vicious look in his eyes.
"Marquis Yu, this Xu Ning is said to be very capable, we want to kill him, I'm afraid we need to use means." One asked.
Lu Qian nodded and said, "Although I haven't seen his skills, I heard my friend Lin Chong say that Xu Ning's marksmanship is extremely special, and he can be counted among the forbidden army, so we have to go to his gun first, and then kill him." ”
As he spoke, Lu Qian said in a low voice, "If we do this, we will succeed!" ”
- Late at night
Xu Ning was sleeping soundly, faintly heard a sound, it turned out that Xu Ning because he cherished his treasure armor, so his sleep has always been shallow, as long as there is wind and grass, he will wake up, and because of this, the treasure armor placed on the bedroom beam has not been lost for so many years, Xu Ning opened his eyes slightly, through the moonlight, saw that his window paper was pierced, Xu Ning's heart tightened, and he didn't move, not long after, he saw a stick of incense being stretched in, Xu Ning knew that there was fraud, so he turned over and turned his back, and secretly covered his nose with his sleeve.
In fact, this ancient incense is not as magical as in the TV series of later generations, but it is just some medicinal incense used to calm the nerves, and people who are generally asleep smell it, but they will sleep more deeply, and there is absolutely no effect of fainting when a sober person smells it.
After another stick of incense, Xu Ning heard the door bolt being slowly lifted, he also slowly put his hand under the pillow, pulled out the sharp blade, the door was finally opened, Xu Ning's eyes widened, and suddenly heard a "clang" sound of smashing pots outside.
Xu Ning didn't hesitate at all, he pulled out a sharp blade and turned over and slashed, the people who entered the door were all startled by the sound outside, where did they react, there was a person who was cut by Xu Ning at the moment, Xu Ning noticed that the person who entered the door was actually the person who was eating downstairs today, he thought that these people were interested in seeing money, and he was furious in his heart, and he jumped and snatched the sickle hook gun placed next to the bed.
The rest of the people saw that Xu Ning was really strong, so they shouted together, and swung their knives up, Xu Ning was not convenient in the room with a sickle hook gun in his hand, so he made a false move, and dragged the sickle hook gun to open the window and jumped from the second floor. Then he quickly ran to the outside of the restaurant, and when he got outside, he found that there were already people in ambush outside, and there were two people with strong crossbows in their hands, these two people were also startled when they saw Xu Ning jumping down, and then immediately pointed at Xu Ning with a crossbow, Xu Ning retreated carefully and shouted, "Who are you?" We have no grievances, why do you want to harm me! ”
One person stepped forward, took off his hat, and said to Xu Ning, "Xu Jiaotou, if you want to talk about hatred, there is no one between us, but the enmity between you and the palace marshal is too big, the palace marshal said, I want your head to be shocked by Gao Ya, you say it yourself, do you cut it yourself, or we will take it." ”
Originally, the people in the room also jumped down one by one, and after a while, more than a dozen people surrounded Xu Ning, including four or five people with bows and crossbows, Xu Ning looked at everyone, and also recognized Lu Qian, knowing that he might not be able to please today, but he still asked unwillingly, "I, Xu Ning and the palace marshal, have no grievances, why does the palace marshal want to harm me?" ”
Lu Qian smiled and said, "I have a fancy for your wife in my family's office, not only do you not know how to lift, but you also sent someone to hurt my family's office, what do you say the palace marshal will do to you." ”
Xu Ning roared: "Where did I, Xu Ning, hurt your family?" Where is my wife? ”
Lu Qian waved his hand and said, "You better wait until you get below, and then ask where your wife is!" Do it! ”
The sound of the bow was sounded, Xu Ning rolled over, but none of the feather arrows hit his body, and when he looked up, the four or five crossbowmen were all with a crossbow arrow, and he saw more than ten masked black clothes walking out of the woods, these people were in groups of three, one with a sword and shield, one with a knife, and one with a crossbow, pointing at Lu Qian and others.
"You... Who are you? Lu Qian looked at the people around him in horror, and one of the masked black-clothed men said loudly, "When the road is uneven, draw a knife to help, why should Xu Jiaotou hesitate and kill!" ”
Xu Ning was already furious, and when he heard the word killing, he immediately waved his gun forward, and Lu Qian also shouted, "Go!" When he swung the knife first, Xu Ning stabbed with a sickle hook gun, one person didn't know how powerful, directly blocked, the corners of Xu Ning's mouth were slightly curved, and when the gun body turned, the blade was pulled inward, and the person's knife was pulled out of his hand, and then stabbed down, poof, all kinds of red and white sprayed on the blade, under the moonlight, it looked particularly bloody.
Lu Qian jumped up violently, threw the knife down, Xu Ning turned around, waved the gun against each other, the two of them came and went for a while, it was difficult to kill, the man in black on the other side had quickly resolved the battle, with the cooperation of the group, only two or three rounds at the cost of zero casualties let the other party fall six people, Lu Qian saw that the people he brought had fallen, and he was so frightened that his hands and feet were a little soft, Xu Ning saw the flaw, a shot hung on the knife body, and a pull, Lu Qian's knife came out of his hand, Lu Qian turned around and wanted to escape, with a pain in his foot, he had been shot with an arrow.
"Good thief! You tell me the truth, is it really the one who sent you to kill me? Xu Ning's gun pointed at Lu Qian's throat, Lu Qian couldn't speak clearly, and stammered, "Indeed... Indeed, Lord Palace. ”
"What about my wife?"
"I really don't know."
"Good thief!" Xu Ning poked suddenly, and Lu Qian's life was immediately ruined, he looked around, looked at the corpses, and suddenly had the illusion that he was not in the world.
After a while, Xu Ning looked at the six black-clothed people, arched his hand and said, "Xu Ning has seen all the benevolent princes, please accept the next bow!" ”
A black-clothed man with a crossbow hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Ning up and said, "Don't be like this, don't be like this, you see who this is first?" ”
Xu Ning walked quickly into Jiang De's office, office, which is also a unique name for the industrial zone.
Xu Ning looked at Jiang De, who was sitting inside, and Xu Guanzhong, who was standing, and said, "The last general has seen the commander, Mr. Xu, I don't know what happened to the commander to call the last general?" ”
Jiang De waved his hand and said, "Say, when no one is around, don't do this, Xu Jiaotou, there are a few news here, I hope you can listen calmly." ”
Mr. Xu pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Xu Jiaotou, sit down first." ”
Xu Ning felt that something was wrong, and sat down slowly, Jiang De looked at Xu Ning with a grim face and said, "Xu Jiaotou, I received the flying pigeon summons, about half a month ago, your mansion was stolen, and nothing else in the mansion was lost, except for the loss of your treasure armor." ”

Xu Ning didn't have the heart to stay here any longer, and after thanking Jiang De, he left quickly to prepare things.
"Teach the head slowly!" Xu Guanzhong stopped Xu Ning and said to Jiang De, "My lord, this matter involves the palace marshal's mansion, I'm afraid it won't be easy, and the head of the sect will go alone, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”
Jiang De patted his head, took out pen and ink, wrote two letters, wrapped them and handed them to Xu Ning and said, "Jiaotou, I guess I am afraid that there is something else in this matter, you take these two letters, one is sent to the Taishi, such a matter is related to the palace marshal's mansion, the Taishi looks at my face, maybe he will help you deal with one or two, one is sent to my teacher and girl in Qionglou, the official family loves the teacher and the girl very much, if she thinks you need to deal with it, she will also help you with a few words in front of the official."
In addition, if you go to Zhao Wenshan and get fifty taels of gold, you will say that I said it, if you want to spend money, it will be more convenient. ”
Xu Ning was moved in his heart and said, "Thank you Xiaolangjun, I will accept this letter, but this gold is absolutely impossible!" ”
Jiang De sighed and said, "You idiot, let you take it, if you don't need it, you can take it back." ”
Xu Ning thanked him and accepted it, and after seeing Xu Ning leave, Jiang De said to Xu Guanzhong, "Go and let the Diting Battalion and the Secret Battalion work together to set up the bureau, by the way, what is going on in Gao Yanei now?" ”
Xu Guanzhong said with a smile, "According to the lord's instructions, I just fed some aphrodisiacs, let her stay with the sow for a while, and then used a rusty bone knife to cut a small section of skin on the lower body of the guy, and there will be no worries about her life in a short time." ”
Jiang De nodded and smiled, "That's it, just die, wouldn't it be cheaper for him, okay, it's just a small role, we don't need to spend too much energy, Tianxiang Academy is our current big deal." ”
Not to mention that Jiang De and Xu Guanzhong were discussing the affairs of Tianxiang Academy here, Xu Ning here hurried to Kaifeng Mansion and walked to the territory of Dongming, suddenly the horse stumbled and threw Xu Ning to the ground, Xu Ning got up with a sigh, and hurriedly looked at the horse by the sunset, only to see that the horse got up for half a day, fortunately the bones were not broken, but there were some turns when he walked, so a fall, the horse could not run for a short time, Xu Ning looked at the sky, then gritted his teeth and led the horse, and walked forward slowly, wanting to find a place to rest.
After a forest, Xu Ning was pleasantly surprised to see a village, there was a restaurant at the entrance of the village, Xu Ning stepped forward quickly, a junior second walked out, saw Xu Ning in the dust, stepped forward and said, "This military master, but you want to live in a hotel?" ”
Xu Ning took off the sickle hook from the victory hook and said, "Stay in the hotel, you can buy mules and horses here, my horse has a leg and can't run, I want to keep it here for a while, rest assured, this silver is indispensable to you." ”
Xiao Er said happily when he heard this, "This is good, but Master Jun, we have mules in our village, but we don't have horses, but today a group of people came, all riding horses, and there are many more, why don't you ask them if they are willing to sell you one, they are eating inside." As he spoke, Xiao Er pointed to the manger, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen horses grazing quietly.
Xu Ning touched his burden, thought of the gold given by Jiang De, and was secretly grateful in his heart, walked into the store, and saw that there were indeed a few people eating, Xu Ning walked to a table and hugged his fists and said, "Brothers, the horses outside are yours?" ”
The four people in the position raised their heads and looked at Xu Ning, and one said, "So what?" Saying that, the rest of the people also looked at Xu Ning, what Xu Ning didn't notice was that when one of them saw Xu Ning, his eyes shrank suddenly, and then he quickly lowered his head.
Xu Ning smiled and said, "That's the case, my horse lost its front hoof, it's not easy to hurry, I have something important to go to the capital, I heard that you have a lot of horses, I don't know if you can sell one?" ”
"Go, go, where did the red guy come from?" One of the four said impatiently, "You can't afford our horse, let's go!" ”
Xu Ning was anxious, took out a gold ingot and said, "I'm really in a hurry, please give up one." ”
When the four of them saw the gold, their eyes straightened, Xu Ning looked at the eyes of the four people, the sickle hook gun in his hand tightened, and the blade shone on the four of them under the reflection of the sunset, and the four of them immediately sobered up, looking at the blade in Xu Ning's hand, knowing that this was not a person to be messed with, the four of them glanced at each other, and then looked at the gold, a little moved, at this time, a person at the other table stood up and said, "This brother, we are all running on the rivers and lakes, of course we have to help if we are in trouble, but these horses are also very important to us, so let's do it, May we think about it, how about getting back to you tomorrow? ”
Xu Ning felt that there was a drama when he heard it, and looked at the man, only to see that the person was wearing a gauze hat on his head, covering his face, but he felt a little familiar when he heard the voice, and he always felt that he had heard it somewhere, Xu Ning still wanted to look at him carefully, so the man turned around and said, "You guys rest early after eating, I'm a little tired." ”
Xu Ning saw that everyone else didn't pay attention to him anymore, thinking that it would not be too late to talk about it tomorrow, so he ordered the wine and food to eat, and while eating, he thought about who that person was, he only felt extremely familiar, but he couldn't remember anything, and finally he didn't want to, so he went up to rest after eating.
Xu Ning was resting on the bed, and in the room on the other side, several people were talking secretly.
"My lord, is that person really Xu Ning?" One asked.
"It must be him, don't you see his blade? I have just stabilized him with words, and I am going to kill him tonight, so I can go back and explain to the palace marshal!" The man who took the lead said with a vicious look in his eyes.
"Marquis Yu, this Xu Ning is said to be very capable, we want to kill him, I'm afraid we need to use means." One asked.
Lu Qian nodded and said, "Although I haven't seen his skills, I heard my friend Lin Chong say that Xu Ning's marksmanship is extremely special, and he can be counted among the forbidden army, so we have to go to his gun first, and then kill him." ”
As he spoke, Lu Qian said in a low voice, "If we do this, we will succeed!" ”
- Late at night
Xu Ning was sleeping soundly, faintly heard a sound, it turned out that Xu Ning because he cherished his treasure armor, so his sleep has always been shallow, as long as there is wind and grass, he will wake up, and because of this, the treasure armor placed on the bedroom beam has not been lost for so many years, Xu Ning opened his eyes slightly, through the moonlight, saw that his window paper was pierced, Xu Ning's heart tightened, and he didn't move, not long after, he saw a stick of incense being stretched in, Xu Ning knew that there was fraud, so he turned over and turned his back, and secretly covered his nose with his sleeve.
In fact, this ancient incense is not as magical as in the TV series of later generations, but it is just some medicinal incense used to calm the nerves, and people who are generally asleep smell it, but they will sleep more deeply, and there is absolutely no effect of fainting when a sober person smells it.
After another stick of incense, Xu Ning heard the door bolt being slowly lifted, he also slowly put his hand under the pillow, pulled out the sharp blade, the door was finally opened, Xu Ning's eyes widened, and suddenly heard a "clang" sound of smashing pots outside.
Xu Ning didn't hesitate at all, he pulled out a sharp blade and turned over and slashed, the people who entered the door were all startled by the sound outside, where did they react, there was a person who was cut by Xu Ning at the moment, Xu Ning noticed that the person who entered the door was actually the person who was eating downstairs today, he thought that these people were interested in seeing money, and he was furious in his heart, and he jumped and snatched the sickle hook gun placed next to the bed.
The rest of the people saw that Xu Ning was really strong, so they shouted together, and swung their knives up, Xu Ning was not convenient in the room with a sickle hook gun in his hand, so he made a false move, and dragged the sickle hook gun to open the window and jumped from the second floor. Then he quickly ran to the outside of the restaurant, and when he got outside, he found that there were already people in ambush outside, and there were two people with strong crossbows in their hands, these two people were also startled when they saw Xu Ning jumping down, and then immediately pointed at Xu Ning with a crossbow, Xu Ning retreated carefully and shouted, "Who are you?" We have no grievances, why do you want to harm me! ”
One person stepped forward, took off his hat, and said to Xu Ning, "Xu Jiaotou, if you want to talk about hatred, there is no one between us, but the enmity between you and the palace marshal is too big, the palace marshal said, I want your head to be shocked by Gao Ya, you say it yourself, do you cut it yourself, or we will take it." ”
Originally, the people in the room also jumped down one by one, and after a while, more than a dozen people surrounded Xu Ning, including four or five people with bows and crossbows, Xu Ning looked at everyone, and also recognized Lu Qian, knowing that he might not be able to please today, but he still asked unwillingly, "I, Xu Ning and the palace marshal, have no grievances, why does the palace marshal want to harm me?" ”
Lu Qian smiled and said, "I have a fancy for your wife in my family's office, not only do you not know how to lift, but you also sent someone to hurt my family's office, what do you say the palace marshal will do to you." ”
Xu Ning roared: "Where did I, Xu Ning, hurt your family?" Where is my wife? ”
Lu Qian waved his hand and said, "You better wait until you get below, and then ask where your wife is!" Do it! ”
The sound of the bow was sounded, Xu Ning rolled over, but none of the feather arrows hit his body, and when he looked up, the four or five crossbowmen were all with a crossbow arrow, and he saw more than ten masked black clothes walking out of the woods, these people were in groups of three, one with a sword and shield, one with a knife, and one with a crossbow, pointing at Lu Qian and others.
"You... Who are you? Lu Qian looked at the people around him in horror, and one of the masked black-clothed men said loudly, "When the road is uneven, draw a knife to help, why should Xu Jiaotou hesitate and kill!" ”
Xu Ning was already furious, and when he heard the word killing, he immediately waved his gun forward, and Lu Qian also shouted, "Go!" When he swung the knife first, Xu Ning stabbed with a sickle hook gun, one person didn't know how powerful, directly blocked, the corners of Xu Ning's mouth were slightly curved, and when the gun body turned, the blade was pulled inward, and the person's knife was pulled out of his hand, and then stabbed down, poof, all kinds of red and white sprayed on the blade, under the moonlight, it looked particularly bloody.
Lu Qian jumped up violently, threw the knife down, Xu Ning turned around, waved the gun against each other, the two of them came and went for a while, it was difficult to kill, the man in black on the other side had quickly resolved the battle, with the cooperation of the group, only two or three rounds at the cost of zero casualties let the other party fall six people, Lu Qian saw that the people he brought had fallen, and he was so frightened that his hands and feet were a little soft, Xu Ning saw the flaw, a shot hung on the knife body, and a pull, Lu Qian's knife came out of his hand, Lu Qian turned around and wanted to escape, with a pain in his foot, he had been shot with an arrow.
"Good thief! You tell me the truth, is it really the one who sent you to kill me? Xu Ning's gun pointed at Lu Qian's throat, Lu Qian couldn't speak clearly, and stammered, "Indeed... Indeed, Lord Palace. ”
"What about my wife?"
"I really don't know."
"Good thief!" Xu Ning poked suddenly, and Lu Qian's life was immediately ruined, he looked around, looked at the corpses, and suddenly had the illusion that he was not in the world.
After a while, Xu Ning looked at the six black-clothed people, arched his hand and said, "Xu Ning has seen all the benevolent princes, please accept the next bow!" ”
A black-clothed man with a crossbow hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Ning up and said, "Don't be like this, don't be like this, you see who this is first?" ”
Xu Ning raised his head, only to see two more people walking out, one of them took off the black cloth, revealing a face full of tears, and cried and said, "Official! ”
Xu Ning looked at this person in a daze, dropped the sickle hook gun with a bang, rushed forward, hugged the man and said, "Madam.. You.. How are you here? ”
The black-clothed man with the crossbow also took off the black cloth, revealing a handsome face, and said to Xu Ning, "This matter is a long story, please ask the head to go with us, the fight just now has already disturbed the village, if you don't leave, there will be trouble." ”
Xu Ning looked at the village that had been lit up with some lights and the faintly visible figure, nodded, walked into the restaurant quickly, took the package, saw the person who was the first to cut and struggled on the ground, pulled out a sharp knife and made up for it, walked downstairs, saw the shopkeeper and Xiao Er who were hiding in the corner and shivering, and took out a gold ingot and put it on the table with some apologies and said, "Disturbed." After that, he went out, looked at the dozen or so horses that had been pulled out, and smiled, "This is a good deal." ”
Eleven people with more than 20 horses, galloping eastward, about half an hour later, only the villagers with torches approached the scene full of corpses, seeing so many people dead, no one dared to hide, quickly sent someone to report to the official, and waited for the people in the official mansion to check the scene, found that each had a waist card, but it was the people of the palace marshal's mansion, knowing that something had happened, and reported to Tokyo without mentioning it.
