The Lantern Festival, with the prestige of the recent victory in Northern Xinjiang, this year's festival has made Zhongdu more lively than in previous years.

Xishan official road, after Lin Xiu's patrol of the territory, rushed to the Xishan camp, to the place has been dawning, along the way, travelers and poets from all over the country went to Zhongdu together, to participate in tonight's lantern quiz, that share of excitement made Lin Xiu and others feel bad.

"Brother Xiu, look at them, they are all relaxed, we have to go back to the camp to hand over the order, let the rear drill, patrol... Alas, what a son of a bitch! ”

It's just that Lin Xiu has something in his heart, and he doesn't listen to Li Hu's words, and when he returns to the camp, he asks Bian Hongxun to treat the two of them on the one hand, and he goes to the Chinese military account to hand over the order.

The Chinese army will be in the tent.

"General Geng, today's Lantern Festival, in order to ensure the stability of the city defense inspection, Your Majesty has a decree, Emperor Xiaowu and the Nine Gate Governors jointly supervise to ensure the stability of the people in the capital tonight, but if there is a small mess, regardless of the reason, no matter the origin, they will all be taken down and tried in the future!"

After the eunuch Xiao Jinling read it out, Geng Liao received the decree and thanked him: "I will obey the order!" Let Hou Geng Liao signal to Wu Zheng, took out a small purse and handed it to Xiao Jinling, Xiao Jinling smiled and accepted it: "Grandpa said that General Geng is a reasonable general, this time I saw it, it was really extraordinary!" ”

"My lord's words are serious, and I will send someone to escort my lord back to the capital!"

"General Don't work, our family has its own carriage!" Xiao Jinling refused Geng Liao's kindness and left, when he came out of the account, Xiao Jinling accidentally collided with Lin Xiu who came to hand over the order, Lin Xiu hurriedly retreated and confessed: "My lord, don't be angry!" ”

Xiao Jinling looked up and down, saw the tiger-striped Qingyue knife on Lin Xiu's waist, and said, "You are Lin Zhongyi?" ”

"Adults know me?"

Xiao Jinling left with a smile, Geng Liao followed out, and saw Lin Xiu: "How is the inspection?" ”

"At the end, the general will inspect Xilong County, the radius is stable for a hundred miles, and there are no thieves and robbers!"

"Well done! Later, I will go to the baggage camp to receive the grain and grass of this month, and in addition, your camp is ready to prepare, and after noon, I will go to Zhongdu with this general! ”

"The whole battalion?" Lin Xiu didn't know: "General, there are more than 3,000 cavalry in the whole battalion of the Xiao Cavalry Army, isn't there something wrong in the capital?" ”

"What nonsense!" Geng Liao angrily reprimanded: "Lantern Festival, stabilize the people, this is His Majesty's decree, you can do it, tonight, you are in charge of the south gate of the nine gates of the outer city area, if there is a bad pool, you can consider it yourself!" ”

"The last general commands!"

Back at the Xiaoqi camp, Lin Xiu came to the detention place and entered the wooden house, the man had woken up, but before Lin Xiu could say a word, the man exclaimed: "It's you?" ”

"What are you going to do? Stay honest! Bian Hong shouted.

"No, little general, do you remember me?"

"You?" Lin Xiu frowned and pondered, and after a while, he suddenly understood that the man in front of him was one of the Jianghu people who had intervened in the dart car fight on the official road not long ago.

"Little General, I didn't expect to meet you here again!" Luo Changxing actually shed tears when he said it, Bian Hong saw it, and scolded in a low voice: "Old man, crying and crying, like a girl, it's a shame!" ”

"Shut up, you go out and guard first!" Lin Xiu stepped back from Bian Hong and the others, stepped forward and said coldly: "Say, what did you do?" Late at night in the mountains and forests near Xilong County? Why do the people chasing you have sharp weapons such as crossbows? Say! ”

"I... I..."

For a while, Lin Xiu's intimidation and oppression made Luo Changxing dumbfounded, and at this time, Luo Miaoxin woke up, and she coughed and whispered: "Brother... Where are we? ”

Lin Xiu listened to the word 'brother' and doubted in her heart: "She is your sister?" ”

"Exactly!" Luo Changxing suppressed his anger: "Those people killed my father for no reason, as well as our fellow disciples of the dart game, I must avenge this revenge!" ”

"You haven't answered Ben's question yet!"

"What the hell do you want?" Luo Changxing suddenly burst out: "Those people are thieves, why don't you arrest them?" ”

In the face of Luo Changxing's anger, Lin Xiu didn't pay attention to it, as he stepped forward, with a punch and a kick, Luo Changxing fell to the ground with a puff, and outside the door, Bian Hong and other personal soldiers came in with knives: "General, what's wrong?" ”

Lin Xiu's one-handed card owner Luo Changxing's neck, a cold light appeared in Mu Zi: "You are a thief, I am a soldier, if you are wrong, I will arrest you, if I knew that you were such a person, I would not help you that day!" ”

"I'm not a thief..."Luo Changxing's face turned red, but he was weak, on the side, Luo Miaoxin stepped forward with difficulty, stretched out her hand and pulled Lin Xiu's boots: "General, my brother is not a thief... We're not bad people... We have been wronged..."

Looking at the poignant tear-stained face, Lin Xiu paused for a moment, let go of Luo Changxing, and ordered to Bian Hong: "Watch over them, don't let them escape!" ”

In the north of the capital, Minfang District, the intricate streets and alleys are like a maze, in front of a small shop with grocery signs, the storefront is empty, Xiao Er is lying on the cabinet and dozing, when a few men come in, Xiao Er suddenly woke up, glanced at it, he quickly got up: "The ninth master is here, the adult is waiting inside!" ”

In the backyard of the grocery store, Chen Dingshuo was anxious and full of room, and on the side, Lu Zhaofeng was also worried, and with the "squeak" of the door frame, the ninth master scarface came in: "Lord Chen!" ”

"How's it going?"

"Luo Zhenshan is dead, this is his head!" The Ninth Master threw a wet rag bag to Chen Dingxuan, Chen Dingxuan took a step back in fright, and Lu Zhaofeng stepped forward to tear open the bag, and then a bloody head came into his eyes.

"It's him, that's right!"

When the Ninth Master heard this, he said, "Lord Chen, you can let my brother go!" As a result, Chen Dingshuo frowned and thought for a moment, and shook his head: "No!" ”

"Why? Could it be that you are trying to deceive me? The ninth master was about to be angry, and the brothers behind him were even more ready to draw, but Lu Zhaofeng roared: "What's the matter?" You still want to murder Lord Chang Cheng? ”

"Whew... Phew..."The Ninth Master gasped, estimating the moment, he raised his hand and pressed down the brother behind him: "My lord, let's talk about it, I am responsible for bringing back the head of the army, and you will let my brother go!" ”

"Yes, I said that! But..."Chen Dingshuo changed his voice: "I have changed my mind, his son Luo Changxing and daughter Luo Miaoxin are still alive, you have to take their heads too, so that I can release your brother!" ”

"No way, they were captured by the officers and soldiers! Let me go to the barracks and kill people, you want my life! ”

"Nine Scarface, listen, you are a Jianghu person, you know how many murders there are, your brother Black Fox is not a good person, according to the law, he is not much to kill a hundred times, if you want to live, you have to listen to me!" After Chen Dingshuo finished speaking, Lu Zhaofeng threw a cloth bag to the ninth master.

"This hundred taels of gold is for you! Do you want to do it? Think for yourself! In addition, I can also give you a message, the official army that went to Xilong County to patrol the territory last night was the Xiao cavalry army, and the two mongrels were in the Xiao cavalry barracks, and today the Xiao cavalry army was ordered to come to Zhongdu and settle the Lantern Festival tonight with the Jiumen Governor, this is an opportunity, tomorrow morning, I want to see the heads of those two! ”
