"Brother Kunchen, farewell!"

I only heard Bai Gui chuckle and stepped into the sedan chair, and the four sedan chair drivers lifted the sedan chair and flew away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The info guards and subordinates also walked in the direction of Mancheng with signs of "quiet" and "avoidance".

Although it was late, Bai Gui, as the governor of Guangdong, did not stay in the governor's yamen, but went to Mancheng to stay overnight. On the way to Mancheng, Bai Gui, who was sitting in the warm sedan chair, thought of Ye Mingchen's left concern about him in the governor's yamen before, so he snorted coldly.

"This Ye Kunchen ......"

Hänchen is really unreliable!

As the governor of Guangdong, the reason why he thinks this is very simple - Ye Mingchen is a native of Hanyang, Hubei, and his hometown is occupied by the "Han rebellion", although this is the case, but the Ye family's "Ye Kaitai Pharmacy" is still thriving and is not affected in any way, why is this so? There is only one explanation, this Ye Mingchen has different ambitions nine times out of ten.

Put it aside, maybe Bai Gui can still convince himself, after all, Ye Mingchen is not softer than him in killing people, and even a little stronger.

But now, don't say that he killed someone, even if he kills, what can he say?

The situation in the imperial court was precarious, the capital was besieged, and even the emperor of the "Northern Hunt" was still missing, as a Manchu minister, he naturally had some channels to obtain news that Hanchen did not know, and the news that the emperor's whereabouts were unknown was the news he learned from the Guangzhou general Mu Tern.

The emperor was attacked by "Cantonese bandits" on the road to the North Hunting River, and thousands of guards and palace maids and eunuchs died under the knife of the "Cantonese bandits...... But despite this, there is still news that the emperor's whereabouts are unknown, and the reason why the secret is not revealed in Beijing now is that he is afraid of people's confusion.

"Could it be that he was really harmed by ...... rebels?"

Secretly muttering this rebellious words, Bai Gui's mind was in a mess, and he said it on his lips.

"I don't know if there's any news from Kyori from Mutern......"

The reason why he came to Guangzhou was not to find out Ye Mingchen's thoughts, but more importantly, to get in touch with Mutern, no matter what, he had to keep Guangdong!

"If you really can't do it......"

A cold color flashed on his face, Bai Gui secretly thought to himself, for Ye Mingchen, more precisely, for these Hanchens, now he can't believe it at all, that Zhang Liangji has fallen, Luo Bingzhang has also fallen, how many people in Huguang have not descended? Now that the emperor's whereabouts are unknown, and the capital is in danger, in this case, if those Hanchen plan to rise up for themselves......

"You must not put your own life in the hands of these Han people!"

At this time, it was the middle of winter, although the land of Guangzhou was not as cold and windy as the north, but the wet and cold weather still made many people on the roadside shiver. On the side of the road leading to the city, several people stood there casually, looking at the clothes all dressed as coolies, but their eyes were fixed on the road, and one of them looked up at the window on the second floor opposite.

"It's coming!"

Sitting near the window on the second floor, I saw the team coming from afar, and the people sitting on the second floor took off their hats on their heads.

It's a hands-on signal!

After receiving the signal, the roadside people immediately put their hands on their waists and stared ahead with blazing eyes.

The team that just turned the corner will sound the avoidance gong, but because it is the relationship between the streets, the avoidance gong is to drive the people to avoid the roadside, because the collision with the official needs to hit dozens of boards, and the heavy ones need to plot rebellion, so the avoidance gong sounded, the people on the street got out of the way, and when the people got out of the way, a few people standing on the side of the road squeezed in front of the people.

"Bell!"

At the sound of the gong, the official sedan chair in the center of the team got closer and closer. For the guards of the governor's yamen, they didn't notice that on their heads, several foreign guns were already aimed at them at this time!

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out in the noisy street.

The sudden gunfire only made those guards stunned for a moment, the gunfire sounded a bit like the sound of firecrackers, there are always some children setting off firecrackers when the year is approaching, but the fallen guards make them realize that this is the sound of gunfire. Just before they could react, a few more gunshots rang out, and several guards were instantly knocked to the ground. And the sedan chair drivers even threw down the sedan chair and avoided, and the street was even more uproarious.

"There are assassins!"

"Protecting the ...... of Adults"

The sudden gunfire and the sedan chair that was suddenly dropped made Bai Gui scream in fright, and he was about to climb out of the sedan chair in a hurry.

"Protecting the ...... of the Master"

Only a few loyal Bao Yi were still shouting there, and Bai Gui, who climbed out of the sedan chair with his head in his arms, turned pale with fright.

What's going on?

Just as Bai Gui had just climbed out of the sedan chair, several people on the side of the road were all lit up, and they rushed towards him from both sides of the street.

"Do it!"

One of them let out a roar and pulled a revolver from his bosom. It was a shot at Baigui.

"Master......"

The shot missed, and was blocked by a clothed slave. Originally, I only thought that the assassin's guards on the roadside house wanted to block it, but I saw that the few people who rushed out were all armed with two guns, and for a while, the gunfire on the street was loud.

"Protecting the ...... of Adults"

The shouts of the guards and minions could not stop the bullets fired from the pistols, and just as Bai Gui was terrified and wanted to escape, the assassin who rushed to the front had already rushed to a distance of less than two feet from him, and shot him in the back......

"Yi'er, why are you here?"

Returning to the back house, looking at the guests in the back house, Ye Mingchen asked in surprise.

"Father!"

Listening to the words behind him, Ye Enyi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Ye Mingchen and said.

"Children are not filial, and parents are concerned about ......"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Enyi's words had already whimpered.

"Yi'er, Yi'er......"

Looking at Ye Enyi who was kneeling in front of him with tears on his face, Ye Mingchen simply couldn't believe his eyes, although Ye Enyi in front of him was his son who had passed on to his younger brother, but there was nothing false about that family affection, seeing his son whimpering like this, a sense of foreboding suddenly surged in his heart, and he asked repeatedly.

"Yi'er, could it be the ...... of Hankou's hometown?"

Could it be that there was an accident in my hometown? That thief attacked the Ye family?

"Father, everything is fine at home, please don't worry about it, child, ......child,

squeaked, but Ye Enyi kowtowed and didn't dare to speak, for fear that he would annoy his father as soon as he spoke. If he had a choice, he would not want to come to Guangzhou, but he couldn't help but come, because the safety of the Ye family was all on him.

"Hometown, Yi'er was entrusted to come!"

Wang Ye looked at his stepson's appearance like this, and knew that he didn't dare to tell the purpose of this trip, so he took the initiative to say it for him.

"Trusted? Who's trusting it? ”

"Yi'er, don't give the letter to your father yet!"

was reminded by her mother that Ye Enyi thought of the purpose of her trip and hurriedly took the letter out of her arms.

"Letter?"

Took the letter from his son's hand, and looked at the handwriting on the envelope, "Brother Ye Kunchen's personal opening", his brows, which were slightly familiar, suddenly frowned, and he recognized whose words it was.

It is the word of Luo Bingzhang, the former governor of Hunan, in fact, the two do not have much communication, compared to Luo Bingzhang's middle-aged ambition, Ye Mingchen can be described as a young man, and at the age of forty-five, he became the governor of Liangguang. Now Luo Bingzhang, who has fallen into a thief, wrote to himself and asked Ye Enyi to bring it from Wuchang?

He didn't immediately open the letter, but looked at Ye Enyi and asked.

"Yi'er, how did you get here?"

"Back to my father, the child came to Guangzhou with others, those people are, they are ......"

Ye Enyi's words were not loud, but Ye Mingchen still heard it, those people were traitors.

"Where are they now?"

"Father, after they entered the city, it was convenient for the children to separate, saying that it was something else, and there was something else important!"

There is something else important......

What could it be?

As soon as his heart tightened, Ye Mingchen hurriedly asked carefully, although Ye Enyi didn't know what his father wanted to know, but when faced with his father's questions, he still told them one by one.

"There are thirteen people in total, and the leader is Luo Da...... Thief's cronies, who have taken good care of their son along the way......"

Are they afraid that they will do something to them?

That's why he sent Yi'er to the mansion, and then left to wait for news from himself?

Just when Ye Mingchen was puzzled, there was a shout from the master.

"My lord, my lord, it's a big deal, it's a big deal......

Xu Zhilin, who came over in a hurry, shouted while running, his already white face would have no trace of blood, although the weather was cold, but his forehead was sweating, although he was old, but he was running in stride. When he rushed to the back house regardless of his physique, he said loudly when he saw Ye Mingchen.

"My lord, out, something big has happened......

Xu Zhilin, who was out of breath, looked at Ye Mingchen and said in a loud voice.

"Master Xu, what is it that makes you so alarmed!"

Ye Mingchen's heart "chuckled", although he hadn't spoken yet, he vaguely guessed that something must have happened! And nine times out of ten it is related to those thieves who brought Yi'er to Guangzhou!

"Great, sir!"

Taking a breath, Xu Zhilin looked at the adult and said.

"Kashiwa, Lord Kashiwa, here, someone killed on the road!"

"What!"

Screaming, Ye Mingchen only felt dizzy for a while, so that he almost fell, and his mouth was even more muttering.

"This, how is this a good ......?"

As he muttered in horror, his fat face turned even more silvery, without the slightest trace of blood, so that even his overweight body began to sway.

"It's over, it's over......"

With a muttering on his lips, Ye Mingchen's face was full of ashes, and when his body shook, Ye Enyi hurriedly helped him when he was about to stand unsteadily.

"Father, you, what's wrong with you?"

"It's over, the Ye family is finished......"

Looking at his wife and children in front of him, Ye Mingchen sighed bitterly.

"This time, the Ye family is afraid that they will not be able to keep ...... anymore" (to be continued.) )
