Chapter 719: On the Thief Ship

Yue Qianqiu originally thought that if he left the palace for one acre and three points, the soldiers and horses around him would let them go, and then he would go to those powerful people from Shangjing to settle accounts, and he would be able to slip away. Although he accompanied Xiao Jing to see Xu Houcong today, it was barely enough to see him, but he didn't have a chance to talk about it at all, but what does it matter?

However, what Yue Qianqiu didn't expect was that when he left the huge square in front of the Nanjing Imperial Palace, there was an officer with a tiger's back who squeezed through the crowd in reverse, and shouted loudly: "Where is the little brother who just took the lead in scolding Xu Houcong?" My general wants to see you! ”

"It's me, it's me!"

Seeing a young man in white take the initiative to jump out and admit it, Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jingxian next to him. Seeing that Qi Chong smiled slightly, he didn't mean to stand up and expose the other party's lies at all, he couldn't help but secretly hehe, thinking that there are such arrogant people everywhere. However, as soon as this thought was born, someone next to him broke it.

"Where is that guy, it's clearly this little brother who claims to be Deputy Sui's left-behind family!"

As someone identified Xiao Jingxian, Yue Qianqiu saw an endless stream of people around him, and all his fingers poked Xiao Jingxian's side, and he had already become the focus of attention. Seeing Xiao Jingxian's face calm, he didn't say no, nor said yes, he couldn't help muttering that this guy would pretend wherever he ran, and when he looked at it again, the guy who was taking the gong just now didn't know where to hide.

And the officer with the tiger's back arched his hand in all directions, said thank you, and then squeezed in front of Xiao Jingxian. And seeing him coming, Yue Qianqiu didn't even think about it, so he hid directly behind Xiao Jingxian, looking timid and afraid. Sure enough, the officer only glanced at him, and withdrew his gaze disinterestedly, but looked at Xiao Jingxian with interest.

Because the flow of people was still moving forward, he unceremoniously squeezed out a few people and occupied the position next to Xiao Jingxian, and then said with a smile: "This little brother is just guts, but have you thought about it, you are complaining about the deputy Sui guard, but your voice has also trapped the Sui deputy guard?" ”

Xiao Jingxian was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to wake up from a dream, and said with a wry smile on his face: "Caring is chaos, I didn't think of this for a while!" It's all because I happened to hear someone talk about the Qin family in the morning, and the old lady of my family was angry and anxious, for fear that my aunt would ...... Even Lord Sui will have three strengths and two weaknesses like Lord Qin, so he sent me to take my younger brother out to find out the news......"

Seeing Xiao Jingxian's expression of remorse, the officer's eyes flickered, and then he said with a pleasant face: "It turns out that you are the person who stayed at your father-in-law's house by Deputy Sui." That's what I'm saying, you don't have to take it personally. Even if you accidentally brought Deputy Sui out when you were just talking, it wouldn't be a big deal! Speaking of which, Sui's father-in-law, the Chen family, was also born in Nanjing Dao, not an outsider! ”

The officer was obviously a loud voice, and at this time he said it with a big grin, and the ordinary people around him who pricked up their ears heard it. And what he said next made their hearts pound even more.

"Those adults who came from Beijing just came, occupied the best house in Nanjing, and didn't pay attention to the people who stayed behind Qi and even other adults, and they were all commanding, and after they lived down, they took it by skill, and squeezed out a layer of oil from countless people up and down Nanjing City, in just half a month, more than a dozen lives were killed, and the money they put in was countless, this time they were asked to pay for their blood debts, and they vomited out everything they ate!"

The brothers dressed as Xiao Jingxian and Yue Qianqiu naturally pretended to be shocked, while the others suddenly let out irrepressible cheers. The officer was pleased with the effect of his words, and immediately said impassionedly: "As long as anyone is willing to rush into the house of those dog officers with our brothers, everything will be shared!" ”

Seeing the greedy eyes with green light, and seeing the faces that were short of breath and couldn't wait, Xiao Jingxian moved his lips slightly, and a low sentence of greed was not enough to swallow the elephant sounded in Yue Qianqiu's ears.

And when the officer looked at him, Xiao Jingxian immediately showed a flawless panicked expression, shook his head and said: "This military master, I didn't think so much when I scolded Xu Houcong before, but what you said our brothers can't do. The old lady taught us to read and write, and if he knew that we were doing such a thing, he would be! ”

"Yes, yes, you can't do it!" Yue Qianqiu poked his head out from behind Xiao Jingxian, and shouted as if he had mustered up courage, "This kind of thing should be ordered by the emperor, how can we go beyond the bounds?" ”

The officer didn't expect that his words would arouse the greed of most people, but the guy who was still fierce when he scolded Xu Houcong turned into a soft egg, and he couldn't help frowning. However, he knew that what his general valued was the identity of the deputy Sui behind them, and even if they retreated, they would definitely push them to the end, so he laughed.

"Ahem, the two little brothers, please go with me to see my general first, if you have something to say to the general, I can't be the master!"

After saying this, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, grabbed Xiao Jing and left. Sure enough, he didn't take two steps before he noticed another cowardly young man hurriedly catching up behind him, and he couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart. The big guys above have already calculated it, where can these little people resist? In short, today no matter what, we must let everyone who has gathered here see blood!

Unable to suppress the soldiers and civilians who are making trouble today, Xu Houcong knows very well what virtue the six princes are, and he did not return to the palace to try to pretend to be wrong, because he knows that the six princes are people who only look at the results and do not look at the process. However, he was really disappointed with those who were also good guards in the palace, so after calling a few of his cronies, he reprimanded him harshly.

"You were scared back so easily just now, in the eyes of those Nanjing guys, you can't take off the four words of lust and guilt! Do you think this incident today is a pure people's trouble, and the soldiers are involved? That's wrong, that's because Qi Xuan, who stayed behind in Nanjing, is going to attack those guys who came up with the emperor! After them, it's our turn! ”

Although Xu Houcong's prestige is like a castle on the water, it is by no means reliable, but what he said at this time is reasonable, everyone looked at each other for a moment, and someone whispered weakly: "But just now they were outnumbered, but we were only a hundred or ten people, they just relied on people to pile us to death, how can we stop it?" ”

"Then at least make an appearance, before you go back, at least make people feel that you don't dare to arrest and kill......"

Xu Houcong was racking his brains trying to persuade the relative cronies in front of him, but Liang Wu'er came out of the palace on a high-headed horse. When he arrived in front of Xu Houcong, he didn't even get off his horse, so he said condescendingly: "General Xu, the emperor was very annoyed after hearing about what happened here, and he was easily persuaded by me. ”

Seeing Xu Houcong's face gloomy, he said with a smile: "The emperor said that Nanjing City is now a place where the emperor is stationed, and he definitely cannot tolerate any turmoil, please ask General Xu to pick a few safe people to stop it!" If you can't stop it...... Hehe, General Xu, you don't have to be a general, our huge Beiyan is a warrior! ”

After saying this, Liang Wu'er didn't care what Xu Houcong's face was, and immediately raised his voice and shouted: "The emperor summoned Qi Lian, Qiao Xue, and Xue Cheng......" and reported six names in one breath, and when he saw that the person who was called came out with a suspicious face, he arched his hand with a smile and said: "The emperor has always appreciated your hard work and conscientiousness, and now I am summoning you, which is naturally an encouragement!" ”

No one cares about this kind of empty promise, but the word reward is different. Xu Houcong watched the six people go from initial hesitation to surprise and joy at the end, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. Sure enough, Liang Wu'er not only conveyed the order of the six princes to summon these six people, but actually laughed at him meaningfully.

"The emperor said that this trip from Shangjing to Nanjing City, all the way thousands of miles, all rely on the warriors to follow the car, from now on, he will often summon all the warriors, in order to show the love of everyone as a brother!"

Even if this kind of means of winning people's hearts is extremely superficial, Xu Houcong saw that more than half of the people showed a surprised expression, and he didn't even ask him, so he hurriedly surrounded Liang Wu'er, who was about to turn around and go back to the palace, and there were only a few people who were still standing with him. He forcibly suppressed his discouragement and frustration, and immediately beckoned the group to leave.

If he stays any longer, he suspects that even these people will be deceived by that clever eunuch, and then he will really be alone!

When the horse galloped on the empty street, the distraught Xu Houcong swung down the whip again and again, until the mount under him could no longer stand his tart, let out a miserable hiss, and ran madly on the street, he suddenly woke up, and hurriedly used all his strength to control the mount.

But it was so out of control, and he keenly noticed that the faces of the people he brought out were obviously different. Thinking that if his children or disciples were by his side, then he would definitely not be struggling to trap these unfed white-eyed wolves, but in an instant, he thought that it was those juniors who betrayed him because of Zhen Rong's bewitchment, and he was immediately angry and hateful, and that trace of remorse dissipated in an instant.

"General, look over there!"

When Xu Houcong heard about the prestige, he found that he had come to the mansion of the Duke of Qi who accompanied him in Nanjing-there is no doubt that the Duke of Qi, who had been completely neglected and shelved during the tenure of the Northern Yan Emperor in the forefront, originally had no property in Nanjing, and this mansion was simply taken by ingenuity. Of course, the rich businessman who swallowed his anger and gave up his homeland will not forget that only a few days after moving out of this place, people died inexplicably, and their children were accused of killing their fathers, and the lawsuit was not over, and the property was divided up.

However, at this time, the Duke of Qi Guo, who had moved in here with high spirits and occupied two shops, was being dragged out of the gate like a dead dog, his hair was scattered, and the brocade clothes on his body were torn into one by one, tears flowed together, looking at it like that, where is there still the momentum of self-proclaimed noble origin on weekdays?

At the moment when Xu Houcong and the six entourages appeared, Xiao Jingxian noticed it. He had been taken by the officer to meet a certain general, and then he was coerced all the way forward, rushing into the three mansions with the people, and saw that four nobles who had been dressed in fine clothes were killed. At this moment, he looked like he was trembling and holding a knife, he looked at Yue Qianqiu on the other side who was crying and holding a Mo knife, and a fleeting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

And the next moment, he was dragged by a big hand to Qi Guogong, who was struggling desperately.

"Brother Chen, Master Gao was killed last night, it was this traitor who colluded with the demon king! He was in vain as the prince of the country, and he received the emperor's favor in the world, but he secretly communicated with Xiao Jingxian, and harmed me with many officials and people in Nanjing Province! Such traitors, do you think they should be killed? ”

"The ...... Should...... Kill! Xiao Jingxian trembled and finally finished speaking, but the hand holding the knife was still trembling. So much so that Yue Qianqiu, who saw this scene, was so angry and funny, thinking that it would be a pity that this guy didn't go to be a show.

And Xiao Jingxian's answer obviously made the officer who dragged him very satisfied, and he immediately raised his hand to point at Qi Guogong and shouted: "Then you will kill him!" As long as he is dead, in the future, your old lady's son-in-law, Lord Sui, will be as stable as Mount Tai! ”

"Kill him...... Kill him......"

Xu Houcong only saw a young man in his early twenties not far away being dragged in front of Qi Guogong, and while chanting words, he slashed at Qi Guogong with a knife as if he was about to become a madman, and his face changed greatly. He didn't hesitate to take his bow and pull the string, and he didn't even have time to wait for the bow to be like a full moon before letting go.

However, his arrow was not the one who hit it, because he could clearly distinguish that the knife that fell from the young descendant with his eyes closed left at most a wound for the Duke of Qi Guo, and the real fatal killing move was the officer next to him who was desperately trying to bewitch people. In an instant, the arrow crossed fifty paces and landed unmistakably into the left wrist of the officer, who was holding a dagger.

Seeing that the person didn't have time to stab out the dagger, he staggered back with a painful cry, Xu Houcong shouted loudly: "Even if the Duke of Qi is guilty, he should be sent to the palace gate, and the emperor Chrysostom will be convicted and punished, if he is lynched here, it will be a capital crime of rebellion!" ”

Yue Qianqiu didn't expect Xu Houcong to be so badly damaged before, and he chased after him when the situation was completely pressed, thinking of the arrow like a meteor just now, he really took a breath lightly, and after holding the knife in his hand, he had a little more confidence.

Although this knife was ordinary, when it was forced into his hand before, he knew that it was definitely not an ordinary standard weapon in the army. He has weapons and he doesn't, but his combat effectiveness is completely different!

And just when he was raising his spirit to beware of Xu Houcong, he only heard Xiao Jingxian suddenly shout: "Xu thief, shut up!" I despise people who rebel again and again in my life! I'm going to kill him today and show you!" ”

Xu Houcong sneered and was about to take the arrow again, when he saw that the young man who couldn't even hold the knife well just now suddenly slashed straight at him, and the snowy blade instantly pierced through Qi Guogong, and then came out through his back, and the knife was fatal. Thinking that Liang Wu'er had just warned him about his official position, he was shocked and angry for a while, and reached into the quiver to take two more arrows, but he actually pulled the bowstring, and the three arrows were fired at once.

However, as soon as his arrow left the string, he saw the other party smile at him, and then he was short in the crowd, and he actually dodged his angry one-string three-arrow stunt. Although the three arrows were castrated and shot three sergeants, they failed to shoot the murderer. Thinking of the weird smile just now, at that moment, a name suddenly jumped into his heart.

Although his face is different, he seems to be unforgettable with that smile, it is Xiao Jingxian, it must be Xiao Jingxian!
