Chapter 366: Blockade
Mo Leng naturally didn't have time to spend Guan Huan and Zhou Rui here, the old man was stabbed to death, and there were too many aftermath things that he needed to do, and the hall master who was responsible for collecting the bodies of Zhou Rui and Guan Huan next didn't have the patience to wait like this, so he immediately ordered to extinguish the fire. By the time Guan Huan and Zhou Rui had avoided entering, only a few charred pillars were left in the entire house, standing on the ground. Before the entire fire field could cool down, the hall master ordered the warriors belonging to the Daoming Sect to enter the fire to search. But after carefully searching the ruins several times, the few corpses found did not look like Zhou Rui or Guan Huan. But the people below wanted to rest, and the people above urged the results, and under the pressure of the two phases, the hall master also handed over the carbon strip that burned to a human shape. However, he did not remove the people who were guarding outside, and still set up two sentry posts while tidying up the land.
Guan Huan and Zhou Rui naturally won't really die in the fire. They had been hiding in the cellar of a house in the center of the fire. Strictly speaking, in the mezzanine of the cellar. This location was informed to them by the people of the Intelligence Service. This was originally made because the owner was unwilling to pay the expensive liquor tax, but it gave the two a chance to escape. There was food and water in the mezzanine, which was a little crowded, but it also allowed the two to hide until the people who were searching on the ground began to let their guard down.
They hid until the evening of the fourth day, when they quietly removed some of the debris piled on top of their heads and left the ruins. After being stuffy underground for a while, the smell on the two of them naturally won't be very good. But the two of them finally left Nanshi without alarming the people of the Daoming Sect who were still patrolling around.
quietly returned to Yuanyuan Garden, but the two of them were unexpectedly quiet. Looking at Liu Yong's somewhat helpless look, Guan Huan and Zhou Rui were a little strange.
"Uncle Liu, is there anything interesting these days?" Guan Huan asked.
"You've done something amazing." Liu Yong smiled and said, "Zhou Rui, do you know who the guy you stabbed to death is?" ”
“…… Anyway, it should be the kind of person who should be worth it even if I die. Zhou Rui said indifferently. Anyway, he has done what he can do, and he is still alive, he will indeed feel curious about the identity of the old man, but more of a calm and expectant, some want to know what kind of prize he has won.
"Boyu Hou Jing'anqi." Liu Yong didn't have too much of a hobby of selling guanzi, and slowly spit out a few words.
Guan Huan and Zhou Rui were not so familiar with Xiling's powerful figures, and the two of them thought about it for a while before relieving themselves. "Jing Anqi? Is it the Xiling royal family that has proposed several times to set up Daoming Sect as the state religion and is very favored? ”
Liu Yong nodded and said, "Exactly." This time it's a coincidence. Jing Anqi and Daoming Sect should have reached an agreement, Jing Anqi is the one who is ready to take the stage to cast spells. On the one hand, this is to flatter the lord of Xiling and sanctify the Xiling royal family. Although Jing Anqi has always been an idle marquis, he likes these gods and strange things, likes alchemy, and likes to meditate on immortals. In other respects, he is not a very bad person, he has many friends in the royal family and in the officialdom. As an important member of the royal family, he was ordered by the lord not to join the Daoming Sect, but he and the Daoming Sect have not been hooked up for a day or two. If it weren't for him, Daoming Sect would not have had the opportunity to get acquainted with so many officials at the beginning, so that now there are many believers in the Xiling Imperial Court, and Daoming Sect can cultivate so many officials, it also depends on Jing Anqi. ”
Zhou Rui smiled and said, "Since it is such an important person, then the reward on the two of us is very high now." ”
Liu Yong didn't say anything, but smiled. Kanazawa picked up the topic and said, "Jing Anqi's son hung up 100,000 taels of silver. It is no longer a matter of bounty to stab an important member of the royal family, and the secret guards of the Xiling royal family have already been dispatched. Daoming Sect Eagle Hall handed over two corpses, saying that they were the two of you, but it is said that several secret guards said categorically not when they saw it. Daomingzong was very faceless, but he didn't dare to reply. Now all the forces that can be mobilized are searching. The Anqing Soldiers and Horses, the guards of the Xiling Palace, the forbidden army, and the secret guards are all searching for the two of you. This formation is really scary. ”
When Guan Huan heard this, he frowned and asked, "Isn't that dangerous?" If the identity is revealed, the enemy's power has already been dispersed outside, wouldn't it be difficult to escape? ”
Liu Yong nodded and said, "Don't worry about this." My lord...... This has been taken care of. You guys just take a break, and then we'll be ready to leave Anqing in a day or two. This time, the chaos was too big, after all, it still left us with an opportunity. ”
Indeed, this time it was not just as simple as killing a person under the nose of the Daoming Sect, but also destroying the Daoming Sect's puja, stealing the gold and silver in the standing treasury, and burning down a large number of houses in Nanshi...... If someone has to be responsible for everything, then I'm afraid it will not be enough to demote all the officials in Anqing.
After the theft of the standing warehouse, Sun Boping appropriately expressed his anger and immediately sent officials from the household department to check the damage. At this time when the Xiling court was tight, Sun Boping slightly pointed out the possibility of the Anqing Soldiers and Horses guarding and stealing, which made the Xiling lord very unhappy. In the past, it was because it had always been like this, and the interests involved were not small, and in the absence of a reason, Sun Boping and others did not dare to rashly move this standing warehouse, but now, it has become a normal thing to abolish the standing reserve and the Nanshi tax yamen. Although at this special time, Sun Boping still proposed a package to regulate market transactions within a certain period of time and reduce some taxes that were purely exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so that some ordinary people could at least survive and live better, and then proposed a series of projects to reduce various expenses of the imperial court. Although Anqing Terracotta Division was very dissatisfied with Sun Boping's death, he was the first to steal, and there was no way to track it down, but he had nothing to say. was tossed by Sun Boping like this, and the Anqing Soldiers and Horses Division will have to rely on the targeted allocation of the household department in the future, and there will be no more private collections of their own, so they can only look at Sun Boping's face in the future. Although Sun Boping does not have military power in his hands, this kind of coercion is very obvious.
The Daoming Sect was once again disgraced. They really didn't expect that the organization of the Fa in Anqing would be destroyed. Fortunately, this time they didn't make much fanfare, even if they came from other places to participate in the festival, most of them were Catholics from the surrounding areas of Anqing, and the influence was still under control. However, Guan Huan and Zhou Rui, two guys with distinct backgrounds, made the people of Daoming Sect resentful even more. Mo Leng didn't say anything, he had a certain responsibility for letting these two escape. But knowing that Mo Leng did not intercept him when he was fighting against the two of them, Sun Xiaofan did not dare to make things big at this time. Mo Leng's ability to master manpower, and his skill in dealing with those assassins, killers, dead soldiers, and samurai, is indeed incomparable to the arrogant Sun Xiaofan. Just as Mo Leng was able to meddle in the matter of Snake Eyes, there were already many people with Snake Eyes, and they began to show an obvious good impression of Mo Leng. Everyone in Snake Eyes has the determination to die, even Mo Leng, they are all surprised that Sun Xiaofan can unearth so many such people, but such a group of people are especially unscrupulous, and their likes and dislikes are very clearly placed on the table. What Sun Xiaofan is afraid of now is that once he makes a big deal, if he can't kill Mo Leng, he can kill Mo Leng when he turns around. And it's not easy to die. The current Mo Leng is active in the front line of the search for Zhou Rui and Guan Huan, and he is very important.
Such a big thing happened in Anqing, not only the problem of these relevant departments, but also the face of the Xiling Imperial Court. Since Guan Huan and Zhou Rui leaked the line, Xiling naturally transferred all the problems this time to Ye Tao. The court clamored to withdraw from the southern front, taking advantage of the fact that Yunzhou had not yet fully controlled Zhenzhou, and Ye Tao's command suffered heavy losses, and now most of the people who are fighting in the army of training have increased again. No one could have imagined that Ye Tao, who was now hated by them to the bone marrow, was actually in Anqing. But thinking about the current situation, the people around Ye Tao also felt a little chilling, everyone was interested in leaving Anqing as soon as possible.
But how? The special battalion has already passed the strict search of the eight city gates in Anqing by the Soldiers and Horses Division and the forbidden army in batches, sneaked out in batches, and has assembled outside the city to prepare to respond. But it's not that simple for them to leave. Not only must you walk cleanly, but you can't get involved in the relationship between Sifang, Sun Boping and others, you must be thoughtful. At this time, Ye Tao took a huge risk, and the day after they made such a big mess, he was summoned by the third princess of Xiling.
The princess was strict with her identity, and it was inconvenient to go out of the palace at any time to go to Yuanyuan Garden, and before that, a close friend in the boudoir brought her a concocted tea. The princess was overjoyed and wanted to get the recipe directly. She thought that she would not pass on the recipe herself, so she summoned "Lu Zhen" to talk about it without any scruples, wanting to get the recipe, and by the way, she also gave Lu Zhen a little benefit, which was an exchange. Ye Tao is going to Xiling Palace? This situation made everyone struggle for a long time and couldn't make up their minds, and in the end, Ye Tao, Tan Weixin and Liu Yong talked in private, and then they agreed to Ye Tao to take a risk. Fortunately, they paid great attention to the details of makeup and behavior from the beginning this time, as long as they were not people who had seen Ye Tao many times and were very familiar with it, they would generally not see through it. Ye Tao was summoned by the princess, and it was not dangerous. There is even an incidental benefit: Ye Tao met the lord of Xiling and gave him a cup of tea......
