South City, Long Street Avenue.

The mansion of Zhou Qingyang, the largest trader of leather, medicinal materials and timber in Le'an County, is located. Zhou Qingyang can be said to be the richest businessman in Le'an County, and his business extends from the Zhu in the north to the Youzhou Mansion in the south, which is the scope of his activities.

Zhou Qingyang has mansions in several prefectures and counties in Youzhou, and his family has thousands of acres of fertile land and countless families. It is a place in Le'an County, and there are 2,000 acres of fertile land. There are more than 500 members of the family, all of whom are well-trained young and strong. There are hundreds of beautiful maids and countless antiques.

Originally, Zhou Qingyang would not have appeared in Le'an County, but Yanshan Fort was the most important defensive place of Yingzhou Capital, so the camp of the Yan Army outside Yanshan Fort needed a lot of materials, especially when the cold winter was approaching and the winter snow was coming. So much so that Zhou Qingyang personally appeared here to prepare for this transaction.

Who would have thought that this situation would occur just after arriving in Le'an County? But Zhou Qingyang was not afraid, because he had a strong relationship in Youzhou, and he believed that he could settle the trouble in front of him.

"Master, all the streets in Nancheng have been blocked, will there be any trouble here?" The old butler said with some concern.

Zhou Qingyang smiled calmly and said, "You can rest assured, as long as these people are Yan Jun, we will not be afraid of him." Isn't it money? We can settle them! ”

In Zhou Qingyang's words, I have never lacked money, and if I settle a person with 10,000 taels of silver, then I can earn back another 100,000 taels through this person.

"Boom......" As soon as Zhou Qingyang finished talking to the housekeeper, the gate was knocked open, and hundreds of soldiers emerged from the surrounding courtyard walls, all holding longbows, and the arrows with cold light on the longbow pointed directly at the family in the huge courtyard. Although the Zhou Mansion was also equipped with excellent weapons, how could it be compared with the regular army Huolin Army, and the monstrous killing intent suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

"Everyone, lay down your arms! Immediately! ”

The family all looked at the family leader, waiting for his order.

The commander of the family followed Zhou Qingyang to the north and south, and he had seen countless big people, how could he see the little soldiers in front of him. Of course, he didn't want to provoke them, so he immediately took a few steps forward and said loudly: "My lord, please ...... you."

"Stubborn! No mercy! ”

Before the Commander could finish speaking, an arrow passed through his gaping mouth, and a sharp arrow appeared behind his head.

"Woo Woo ......"

Arrows rained down, blood gurgled and flowed, and screams came and went. Jiading did not expect that this group of soldiers would not hesitate to release arrows and kill them. If they knew that this was the result, these family members would have thrown down their weapons a long time ago. Although these family members are actually disguised as guards or private soldiers, they will not fight against the army without any fat.

Even Zhang Hui, who followed, turned a little pale, and at the same time was secretly shocked by the ruthlessness and indifference of the Huolin sergeant.

"Team One, Two, Three, drag the body away and bury it! The rest of you, come with us. Gawain ordered coldly.

Knowing that all his accompanying guards were killed by the Yan army, Zhou Qingyang was unacceptable for a while, he never thought that the Yan army here would be so ruthless, and there was no room for him at all.

"Old ...... Master! They...... They came in and had begun to search all the rooms, driving the people out of the hall and the courtyard outside the hall. The old butler said with some panic.

Zhou Qingyang suddenly shouted angrily: "This group of damn bastards, when I get to Youzhou, I must sue me, so that these people can't eat and walk around!" ”

"Bang Bang ......"

The door of the study was opened, and a dozen or so black-armored soldiers rushed in, each with a small crossbow in their hands, and at a glance they knew that they were from the Fufeng Battalion. In addition to the guard battalion around Zhao Xun, the Nufeng battalion has also begun to be equipped with hand crossbows, although the whole battalion has not yet been equipped, but some of them have been equipped.

"You are Zhou Qingyang? Get to the living room right now! One person glanced at Zhou Qingyang and shouted.

Zhou Qingyang sneered, stopped the old butler who was about to speak, and walked quickly to the living room.

"Master, what's going on with us?"

"Yes, sir, they actually rummaged through our things without permission......"

"Master, you must ......"

"Shut up!"

Hearing the crying of the children in the room, Zhou Qingyang roared angrily, and at the same time was extremely angry with this group of soldiers.

"Zhou Qingyang? Now it is announced that you have been arrested, all your belongings in Le'an County, including this mansion, have been confiscated, and all the people in your house who are related to you will wait for the fate of the above. As for the servants and maidservants outside the house, they will give them money and let them return home. Do you understand? Gao Wen looked at the middle-aged man with a blue face and said with a sneer. For the person in front of him, he is already certain to die.

The old housekeeper pointed to the soldier who spoke, and said in a trembling voice: "Whose soldiers are you, even if you are in Youzhou, no one dares to do this to my master, you must know that the Governor's Mansion and the Xuanfu Envoy are the places where my master often goes." Who will be your Lord? This is too presumptuous, we must go to Youzhou to sue you......"

"I don't know what is alive or dead! is so arrogant, it seems that they still haven't been able to see the facts! ”

After speaking, Gao Wen, who had not moved, scolded in a low voice, and suddenly took a crossbow from the hands of the soldiers beside him, and a cold arrow on it made Zhou Qingyang's face change.

"Wait, spare his life!" Zhou Qingyang's voice just fell.

"Whew......"

With a muffled sound, a cold light shot out from the crossbow in Gao Wen's hand, and the powerful penetrating power of the crossbow arrow shot through the old butler's head, and the splashed blood and white brains blew up the faces of the Zhou family members behind, and the corpse was carried backwards and crashed into the crowd behind

"Ah......h

"Vomit ......"

After a short silence, he looked at the old butler, who was still pointing at the soldiers and scolding him, lying upright on the ground with a shocked face, with a white trembling crossbow tail inserted in his head.

The female dependents who were still shouting for Zhou Qingyang to scold these soldiers could no longer suppress the fear in their hearts, screaming hysterically, crowding each other one by one, looking at the blood and brains, many people vomited.

Gawain slowly handed the short crossbow in his hand back to the soldier beside him, as if it was not himself who shot the old butler with the arrow just now.

A pair of cold eyes made all the people in the Zhou Mansion on the other side lower their heads in fear and did not dare to look at each other.

"Our lord's words are military orders, you just need to listen to orders, anyone who tries to resist, this is the end!" A soldier said coldly.

Zhou Qingyang suddenly felt that his relationship didn't seem to be very easy here, and his previous method of using money to open the way was not very good. No, it's not that it's not good, it's that the other party doesn't give him a chance to make a move at all, and he doesn't even let them speak, and the bloody venue before tells them that they will either listen to the order or die.

The whole south of the city began to get busy, and there were soldiers in armor back and forth, and the sound of hurried footsteps, like gongs and drums, beat in everyone's hearts.

The sound of breaking the door from time to time made the big families in the south of the city even more frightened, for fear that they would be next. Looking through the crack in the door, a cart of corpses was pulled between them, rushing towards the burial site outside the city. Of course, the Huolin Army will not bury the corpses directly, but will burn them and then bury them in case of any accidents.

At the beginning, it was only those who were related to the Evil Army who were terrified, but as time went by, the big families were broken one by one, and the remaining people who did not collude with the Evil Army also began to worry.

Businessmen, no treacherous businessmen, which of them does not have something that should not be done? They were also afraid that these things would be exposed by the Fire Lin Army, so they drove them all to death.

To say, the most stable person in the south of the city now is Li Yuanhai, because he is surrounded by two big people in Le'an County. One is the person in charge of the Blood Shadow Guard here, Xu Qingyang. The other Li Yuanhai didn't know, but judging from Xu Qingyang's respectful attitude, he knew that this young man who didn't talk like a man must be a big man. If he hadn't known that Zhao Xun was not in Le'an County, he would have suspected that this young man was Zhao Xun, the commander of the Huolin Army.

After a few simple conversations, Li Yuanhai knew that this person was the coach of this time, Zhao Mang. Listening to his name, he knew that he must have something to do with Zhao Xun, the leader of the Huolin Army.

With these two gods here, how could he be worried?

Zhao Mang's second visit was mainly to thank Blood Shadow Guard for his contribution this time. If it weren't for the Blood Shadow Guard, who wanted to occupy Le'an County so quickly and restore order, it would be impossible.

"Captain Xu, thanks to your Blood Shadow Guard this time, otherwise we wouldn't have taken the county seat of Le'an County so smoothly. In fact, you should be the first to take credit, and I will record the credit for your actions one by one and report them to the adults. As for your reward, I have no right to give it, but naturally your superiors will give it. ”

Xu Qingyang said with a smile: "We don't dare to take credit, it's all the credit of all the soldiers, and our Blood Shadow Guard is just a small hand." ”

Zhao Mang shook his head and said: "You can't say that, my lord said that on the battlefield, the two armies are fighting, and our importance is greater than yours." However, before and after the war, as well as in peacetime, your role is much higher than ours. What is more important and admirable is that we can be honored in the open, while many of you, many of you, are still silently enduring all kinds of difficulties, but cannot get the glory on the surface. You are the heroes who truly deserve praise. In the words of adults, you are all unsung heroes, good men, real men! ”

Xu Qingyang's heart was hot, and he said excitedly: "Do you really say that? ”

Zhao Mang smiled: "What did I lie to you for?" It's true! ”

"Adults still understand us, we don't lose the Blood Shadow Guard!"
