On the ship, at this time, he had already stabilized from the chaos just now, and several of Xu Chengzong's guards not only blocked him with swords horizontally, but also five people took out crossbows from nowhere and set them up. Chilling arrows were aimed at the side of the ship to the outside, and they would not hesitate to pull the trigger at the slightest movement.

As for the boatmen and the singers, they were huddled aside at this time, trembling. This is not only because the collision just now made them still feel palpitations, but also because the vigilant and murderous eyes of the guards with weapons also swept over them from time to time, as if they could attack them at any time.

The three scholars had already lost the poems they had just written in public, pretending to be famous poets, their bodies were still trembling slightly, their faces were even more pale with fright, and they didn't know how to react at all. On the other hand, Lu Zhen was as calm as ever, and even had a vague smile on his face, if you looked closely, you would find that his eyes were staring at Ah Hu who was escorting those "assassins" on the ship.

As a traverser, Lu Zhen has always believed that the so-called martial arts are just to train the body to be more flexible, more carrying, or to train the strength to increase. As for the martial arts that were described by later writers, they are nothing more than their imagination and exaggeration.

This determination has not changed much even after meeting Lin Lie. Because although Lin Lie has the combat power of an enemy, it is also within the range that can be recognized and accepted, but he is more fierce than ordinary soldiers and reacts faster.

It wasn't until just now that he saw Ah Hu fly off the boat like a harrier eagle and wound and defeat several people in front of him in the blink of an eye, that he knew that there was such a subtle and difficult martial art in this world. Obviously, this former Ji family pawnshop in Beijing has retained most of his strength.

This is the world-famous Wudang kung fu leader! Thinking of this in his heart, Lu Jin's eyes fell more on Ah Hu, speculating why he would be willing to stay by Xu Chengzong's side and be driven by him.

But soon, he diverted his attention from Ah Hu again, because Xu Chengzong called out a little strangely after looking at the few people on the boat: "Xu Dudu, you are not staying in Beijing, why did you come here?" But he recognized at a glance that the wet and embarrassed guy was actually Xu Gong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who had a few encounters with him.

Xu Gong's face showed a wry smile: "I have seen Xu Gongzi, I was shocked by Gongzi just now, and I hope to forgive my sins." After a pause, he added: "I am no longer the governor of Jinyi Wei." ”

"Huh?" Xu Chengzong was stunned for a moment. Although Xu Gong was deposed before he left Beijing, how could he, an unofficial and unemployed gentleman, pay attention to the personnel transfer in Jinyiwei?

At this time, Ah Hu had already stepped forward and reported in a low voice: "Childe, these people are also from Jinyiwei, saying that they were ordered to come to arrest him." ”

Xu Chengzong's brows suddenly frowned, and his eyes fell on the six black-clothed people: "You are also Jinyiwei's people?" So why embarrass your former boss? ”

I don't know if it was because they were intimidated by Ah Hu's momentum, or because they were afraid of Xu Chengzong's identity, these six people were very honest after they came up, and they didn't take the initiative to speak. It was only at this time that the man at the head bowed and saluted, and then took out his waist card: "Young Master Xu, we are indeed the people of Jinyiwei, and this time we are also ordered to take people, and I hope you ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Chengzong waving his hand: "This son asks you, why do you want to chase after Xu Dudu?" What crime did he commit? Not only will you be suddenly dismissed, but you will even be hunted down and killed like this? ”

"I ...... The little one just did what Madurus did, but the others were unknown. A hint of anger flashed in the man's eyes, but he quickly lowered his head and said.

"Don't you want to say it?" Xu Chengzong smiled faintly: "Still can't tell?" If so, then please disembark. Now that Xu Dudu has boarded the ship of my Wei State Mansion, he is a guest here. ”

Hearing him say this, Xu Gong and Qinggele's faces were suddenly happy, but the faces of the six people on the opposite side were dark, and the two of them who had never fought with Ah Hu even raised their fists directly.

It's just that although they are dissatisfied, they don't dare to attack, because there are not only guards staring at them, but also five crossbow machines pointing at them. After trying to exhale and calm himself down, the leader said: "Young Master Xu, this is not only my Jinyiwei's business, but also an errand ordered by Wang Zhen's father-in-law, and I hope you won't make it difficult for us." ”

Although his tone was still humble, the hidden meaning was clear. If you insist on leaving people behind, you will offend Jinyiwei and the prince, even if it is the Duke of Wei's mansion, such things must be weighed.

Although Xu Chengzong seems to care about nothing on the surface, he is actually very sophisticated. As soon as I heard this, I began to think about it in my heart, feeling that it would indeed be troublesome to take action on my own, should I sell the other party a face?

And Xu Gong, who saw his hesitation, was nervous. But at this time, they are the most autonomous people, and they can't even say anything for help, so they can only rely on Xu Chengzong's mind to determine their own results.

Qinggele's heart was bitter for a while, but he had no choice but to quietly take a step forward and block in front of Xu Gong. put on a posture that he would rather die than protect his own governor, but now he is left alone, which is really sad.

His move completely fell into Lu Jin's eyes. Originally, Lu Zhen didn't have much intention to intervene in this, because in his opinion, Xu Gong was also Wang Zhen's lackey before, and now he just ended up being a rabbit and a dead dog, so there is nothing to regret. But Qingler's actions made him feel a little impressed, and the person who could still sacrifice himself to protect his boss at such a time would not be much worse.

In that case, why not help them out?

After making up his mind, Lu Zhen opened his mouth: "Young Master Xu, I don't know if I should say something next." ”

Xu Chengzong, who was hesitating whether to compromise or not, immediately smiled and said, "Master Lu, you don't hurt to say it." ”

Lu Zhen glanced at the six people, and asked with a smile: "I just don't know something, since it is the intention of the prince to chase Xu Dudu this time, why did it come from your Jinyiwei instead of Dongchang?" Isn't he afraid that you, Xu Dudu's old subordinates, will indulge in favoritism? ”

As soon as one sentence came out, the faces of several people present changed. Xu Chengzong's face sank even more: "Good guy, you actually dare to use Wang Zhen to scare me?" He had already understood, it was obvious that the other party had said a big thing, and this pursuit of Xu Gong was not due to Wang Zhen's instructions.

Seeing that he was angry, the brocade guards were also nervous, and hurriedly said, "We're just ......"

"Needless to say. Since you can't come up with any evidence of guilt, and Xu Dudu is on the ship of my Wei State Mansion, there is no reason to hand over people. Hu, send them off the boat! Once Xu Chengzong made a decision, his reaction was also very simple, and he immediately issued an eviction order.

Ah Hu immediately stepped forward and stretched out his hand to point to the side of the boat: "Everyone, please go down." ”

"Xu Gongzi, you are shielding the important criminals of the imperial court, you have to think about it!" Seeing that the other party had torn his face, the Jinyi guard led by him finally stopped being patient and said as if threatening.

But in response to him, Xu Chengzong sneered disdainfully: "If you Jinyiwei are brave enough, you will come to Nanjing Wei Guogong Mansion to ask for someone!" ”

"Good! In that case, then ......," the man said, and politely clenched his fists, as if intending to leave. But just when everyone thought he was going to say something and leave, the originally peaceful words suddenly became sharp, and he hissed: "Do it!" ”

At the same time as he said the word "move", the hands that were clasped together were suddenly waved out, and two cold rays shot out, heading straight for Xu Chengzong's face and chest in front of him.

This change came so suddenly that it was completely unexpected by everyone. Even Xu Chengzong didn't expect that these brocade guards in front of him would be bold enough to attack him. You must know that he is the brother of Wei Guogong, and his status is very high, but he is far beyond the commander of Jinyiwei.

And the guards around him, because the battle stopped just now, and it was the people of the brocade guards who got on the boat, so they also dispersed, and they didn't have this hand at all, they only subconsciously exclaimed, but it was too late to grab the front guards.

Just when everyone thought that Xu Chengzong was going to be recruited this time, Ah Hu, who was still in front of him, moved. I saw that his body shook, and he suddenly swept over the distance like a ghost, and appeared in front of Xu Chengzong faster than the two cold lights, and at the same time, the essence in his hand flashed, and with a bang, the two flying knives had been blocked by his sword.

However, just when everyone was attracted by the other party's flying knife, and their concerned eyes fell directly on Xu Chengzong, and some people screamed because of this, several other brocade guards also shot out the hidden arrows that had been hidden in their sleeves.

But this time, their target is no longer Xu Chengzong, but Xu Gong on the side!

In fact, their real target has always been Xu Gong and the others, and just now it was just a blow to the west, so that others had no time to protect Xu Gong and them.

In fact, even Xu Gong and the others were attracted by this sudden hand, and it was not until seven or eight sleeve arrows came head-on with a strong wind that they reacted and hurriedly parried and dodged. However, it was too late for all this, although two arrows were dodged, but the rest did not enter the shoulders and chests of the two of them, and with two painful screams, Xu Gong and Qinggele fell to the ground at the same time.

At the same time, the crossbowman, who had already aimed at the six brocade guards, had pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Several sharp arrows turned into phantoms under the impetus of the machine, and directly shot through the bodies of these assassins who dared to assassinate Xu Gongzi......
