It was late at night, and the whole city had long since disappeared from the hustle and bustle of the day, and became extremely quiet, as if the battle a few hours ago had taken place in the distant past. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But the more quiet it is, the more upsetting it becomes, especially for Ji Baicang, this annoying and depressed feeling is like a heavy mountain constantly approaching him, making him feel breathless.

Ji Baicang, a person in his fifties, was originally a toast with a high status in the city, and he has always had a close relationship with Cen Shaoxun, but he is relied on as a right-hand man. But now, the situation in the city has long been very different from the past, Cen Yunmo inherited this position, suppressed them old people, supported new people to replace them, and also rebelled, and caused today's predicament, which made Ji Baicang very dissatisfied in his heart.

But even if he was dissatisfied, since Cen Yunmo inherited the position of Tusi, he was their master, and these old people who had always been loyal to the Cen family could only assist him wholeheartedly and help him keep Sicheng Prefecture, which had been in business for hundreds of years.

However, the battle in the past few days, watching the brave soldiers in the city die one by one, still made Ji Baicang feel uneasy, I don't know if Sicheng can hold on for a few more days if it goes on like this, and what kind of result will be waiting for them in the end.

"City Lord, do you know that now our Sicheng Prefecture has reached a dangerous situation, you have a spirit in the sky, can you bless us to block the attack of the official army? Also, Yun Mo will always make some decisions that are even more unfavorable to us, he almost killed Wang Tu today, and if this continues, this city will be even more difficult to defend, and I hope you can persuade him in your dreams. Ji Baicang's mouth was full of words, but his face was worried.

Feeling bored, he didn't want to sleep in bed anymore, so he rolled over, went to the table next to the bed, picked up the teapot and wanted to pour a glass of water to calm down. At this time, he heard a slightly dull sound outside, which made his heart move, and he turned around and took the steel knife he carried from the side of the bed, drew the knife out of its sheath with a bang, and then rushed to the door quickly, and opened the door suddenly.

Ji Baicang had already seen Cen Yunmo's hostility towards him, so his first reaction when he heard the movement was that the other party sent someone to his disadvantage, although he was loyal, he didn't want to sit still, so he planned to capture the person alive and take him to reason with Cen Yunmo.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, a figure rushed in faster than he imagined, and before the knife in his hand could be cut out, the person had already crashed into his arms, and then a sharp dagger was pressed against Ji Baicang's throat: "Don't move!" The voice was cold, without the slightest emotion.

This is really much beyond Ji Baicang's expectations, although he is over fifty years old, and his skills are not as good as back then, but he didn't expect that he would be restrained by someone when he was on guard. This made him feel miserable, feeling that he was indeed old and useless, but he really didn't move as the man said, and even the knife was lowered by him, without the slightest intention of resisting: "If you want to kill me, just do it, I just hope you don't hurt my family." ”

The man was slightly stunned, but he didn't kill him, but just whispered, "Let's go in and talk about it." ”

In desperation, Ji Baicang had no choice but to retreat into the room according to the other party's wishes, and then he found out that the assassin actually had two accomplices, and after he retreated into the room, these two people also walked in, and one of them immediately closed the door.

"What the hell are you trying to do to me?" Ji Baicang, who had already felt that things were not as simple as he thought, asked again, and at the same time, his eyes quickly swept over the three of them, and what surprised him was that this guy who could restrain himself in one move was actually a young man in his twenties.

Immediately, he thought of something again, his eyes turned, and fell on the other person, and he stared at the other party with some confusion for a while before hesitatingly saying, "Are you ...... Zhu Xiaoer? He finally remembered who the other party was.

"Uncle Ji has a good memory, don't come to harm?" Seeing that the other party recognized him, Zhukong Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly admitted his identity.

These three people are Yang Zhen and the three of them, and the one who can control Ji Baicang in one move is of course Yang Zhen. He deliberately made some noise outside just now, so as to bring the old man out, and then ambushed him and suddenly attacked, and he really defeated the enemy with one move.

And after the two exchanged identities, he suddenly recovered the dagger placed at Ji Baicang's throat, and then arched his hand and said: "How offended, it makes Ji Lao frightened, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

"Who are you? Why did you suddenly come to me so late at night? Ji Baicang looked at the few people in front of him with some suspicion, and finally looked at Zhu Kongyan: "Are you really Zhu Xiaoer?" Aren't you supposed to be in Zhujiazhai? Why did you come to my Sicheng? ”

"I'm naturally Zhukong Rock, so I'll be here tonight, just because my Zhujiazhai was wiped out a few months ago." Speaking of this grudge, Zhukong Yan's eyes turned a little red again.

"What? Could it be that these officers and soldiers did it? Ji Baicang's face immediately changed, and he asked with some concern and eagerness.

"No, our Zhujiazhai was not killed by officers and soldiers, but was destroyed by the thieves of the White Lotus Sect!" Saying that, Zhu Kongyan told what happened, including that he was lucky not to die and killed Xu Chongshan outside Guilin City to take revenge.

Hearing these words, Ji Baicang was stunned for a while, but after sighing, his heart moved, and he looked at Yang Zhen and Cai Yingyang vigilantly: "You ...... Are you from the government? This realization made him subconsciously want to take the knife, but unfortunately Cai Yingyang moved faster than him and grabbed the knife in his hand first.

"You ...... What the hell are you here for? Also, how did you get into the city? At this time, Ji Baicang thought of this key point, and his body trembled. If they had been lurking in the city before, but if they had come in after the siege, then the problem would have been big, and Sicheng Prefecture would not have been able to defend it.

Yang Zhen stretched out his hand and pressed on the other party's shoulder: "Uncle Ji, don't panic, we are not hostile to see you here." As for how we got into this city, we naturally have our own way. He paused slightly: "I came to see you today, but I have an important thing I want to talk to you about." ”

"What's important? Since you are from the government, I have nothing to say to you! Ji Baicang immediately drew a line with them.

"Uncle Ji, don't you want to know the truth about Cen Yunhan and their killing?" Zhukong Rock immediately threw out their killer move.

Sure enough, Ji Baicang's body trembled when he heard this, and his expression was no longer as decisive as before: "What did you say?" Didn't the city lord and Yun Han be assassinated by the people in your official mansion? Yun Mo had already found out before that it was the poisonous hand of the imperial court's brocade guards, and for this reason, we rebelled against the imperial court! ”

"Ha......" Yang Zhen couldn't help laughing: "Jin Yiwei killed Cen Shaoxun's father and son? They really choose the target to blame. To tell you the truth, I am the commander of Jinyiwei, but I have never issued it, nor have I heard anyone under me mention such a thing. ”

Although he didn't know how big an official this Jinyi Wei was in command, Ji Baicang still heard the denial in his words, which made the old man stunned. Yang Zhen saw it, and said: "What kind of person Cen Shaoxun is, and what kind of attitude he has towards the imperial court, I think Your Excellency should know better than me." Let me ask, such a person who has always been loyal to the court, why did our Jinyi Wei kill him, are we crazy and want to force you to rebel? ”

The reason for "this ......", Ji Baicang is not unexpected, he just doesn't want to, or he doesn't dare to think about it. Now when I heard this, my expression suddenly changed, and I became melancholy and confused, and I didn't know how to speak.

Yang Zhen didn't give him time to relieve, and continued: "Actually, it's not difficult to determine the reason for their deaths, it depends on whether you are willing to think about it or not. Let's ask, when the two of them die, who is the biggest beneficiary? Is it the imperial court? The court has since been in turmoil because of your rebellion, and how can this be called a benefit? I think, Uncle Ji, you should know who will be the most motivated to do all this, right? ”

Cen Yunmo's appearance quickly emerged from Ji Baicang's heart. In fact, he had this suspicion for a long time, but he had been forced to hold it by himself, and he didn't want to admit that in Sicheng Prefecture, there would be such a thing of father-son and brother killing in the Cen family. But now, when Yang Zhen peeled all this bloody in front of him, he could no longer turn a blind eye.

After being stunned for a long time, he stared at Yang Zhen and the others fiercely: "What is your purpose in saying this, do you want me to betray the Cen family and everyone in Sicheng Prefecture?" I, Ji Baicangda, have been subordinates of the Cen family since I was born, my father and grandfather are loyal to the Cen family and Sicheng Prefecture, and I will definitely not betray because of this! He said these words quickly and urgently, as if he was telling Yang Zhen his position with them, and as if he was reminding himself.

In this regard, Yang Zhen just smiled indifferently: "Old Ji, we naturally know your loyalty to the Cen family, otherwise we wouldn't have come to you." And what I want to say is, do you really think that everything you believe in now is loyalty to the Cen family and Sicheng Prefecture? Assist a guy who killed his father and brother, and the ambition of a wolf son to make enemies of the imperial court, and let him take the people of the city, as well as hundreds of people from the Cen family on the road to destruction, this is the loyalty in your eyes, Ji Lao? With all due respect, if you really do this, you will be the biggest sinner who killed them, and you will really be shameless to see Cen Shaoxun and Cen Yunhan father and son under Jiuquan! ”

After saying this, Ji Baicang was completely stunned on the spot, and then the rolling cold sweat continued to flow down his forehead......
