Chapter 81: Conspiracy

The chariots, the horses, and the pedestrians, bows and arrows, are all at the waist.

The soldiers and villagers who came and went on the street packed up their bows and arrows and hung long knives on their waists. When the war came, the clouds were thick, and the Governor's Mansion quickly started to recruit warriors, conduct basic training, and enter the city defense sequence with the veterans at any time.

"These people are so miserable!" In the carriage, Su Ran saw kneeling on the ground on both sides of the street, unclothed and sighed.

"What are they doing?" Su Ran pointed to the little girl with a straw mark on her head and asked Li Ruolan beside her.

Li Ruolan sighed and said, "They are selling their sons and daughters!" ”

"Buying and selling children? You say sell? Su Ran said in disbelief.

"Yes! In order to survive, you have to do this, and it's better than starving. ”

Su Ran looked at the children with grass sticks around him, and was speechless for a while.

"Forget it, let's go back, there's a mess on this street, there's really nothing to see." Su Ran, who was in a low mood, suddenly said.

Li Ruolan saw that Su Ran's feelings were not high, and she didn't say anything anymore, so she rode a horse outside Zhao Xun and turned back.

"Women are trouble, you are the ones who came out, and you are the ones who are going back now." Zhao Xun shook his head and smiled bitterly.

As soon as he turned around, Zhao Xun suddenly felt a trace of killing intent. Looking up left and right, on the right side of himself, two people who seemed to be homeless people stumbled towards him. However, Zhao Xun can see from the steady footsteps of the two that these two are by no means homeless.

"Stabbing ......" Zhao Xun did not hesitate to draw the long sword at his waist and slashed at the two of them with lightning speed. Before one of them could react, he was slashed in the neck, and the other drew a sharp blade from his bosom and blocked it for a while.

As soon as Zhao Xun moved, the fifty guards who came out with Zhao Xun quickly drew their horizontal knives and stood guard around the carriage, staring at the panicked people around them.

"Stay where you are, don't move! Runner kill! Kill! Zhao Xun no longer paid attention to the assassin who ran into the crowd, but raised his horizontal knife and roared sharply.

"Kill the runners! Kill! The fifty knights raised their swords in unison and roared like wolves roaring in the moon.

Suddenly, the panicked crowd immediately stopped, trembling in place, for fear of being killed by this circle of wolf-like soldiers.

The Assassins who had begun to escape were still flustered in the silenced crowd.

"Want to run? I'm not a weed on the side of the road, just step on it! Zhao Xun pulled out a throwing gun from the side of the knight's horse beside him, and raised his hand.

"Buzz!"

The spear slashed through the crowd with a crisp thud and pierced through the body of the running assassin, pinning it to the ground. The assassin was not yet dead, his limbs twitching weakly, and the red blood flowed down the javelin to the earth. Zhao Xun didn't look at the assassins who were gradually dying, and rushed back to the Su Mansion with everyone murderous, as for the corpses, they were naturally left to the officials on the side to deal with, and these officials had to deal with dozens of such dead corpses every day, and they had long been used to it.

"Husband, are you alright?" When she returned to Su Mansion and saw Zhao Xun's ugly face, Li Ruolan asked cautiously and softly.

"I'm fine, I didn't expect to meet an assassin when I first arrived in Yanzhou City, and now I met an assassin again when I returned to Yanzhou City, I want to see if I am a crime with Yanzhou City!" Zhao Xun was in an extremely unhappy mood now, and secretly ordered Shadow Guard to privately investigate who it was.

When Yanzhou City began to capture the Yan people, Zhao Xun remembered that there were still two hundred prisoners in his Gushan Fort, so he also asked Li Lingfeng and Zhao Kang to arrest the Yan people in various places, because Gushan Fort, like Yanzhou City, was under the front of the Yan people, but Gushan Fort was a military fortress, and only soldiers were stationed in it, and no one was inhabited. It is much more convenient to guard it than Yanzhou City.

After staying for two days, the Shadow Guard sent a message: Qi Yan wanted to run away.

Qi Yan, as the lackey of the Yan people, since the last incident, one has been secretly monitored by Zhao Xun, Zhou Jun and Su Yun, and no measures have been taken against him. At first, it was to see if Qi Yan had similar strongholds elsewhere, but in less than three months, the Yan people marched aggressively and attacked Yanzhou Mansion, and Qi Yan's disposal was always put behind Su Yun and Zhou Jun.

Although Su Yun and Zhou Jun relaxed their supervision of Qi Yan and Qi Yun because of the invasion of the Yan people, Zhao Xun did not relax. First, he took a lot of Qi Yan's things, and it was inevitable that Qi Yan would return to the people of the Yan in the future, and encourage the people of the Yan people to kill themselves. Second, Zhao Xun took a fancy to the materials of Qi Yun Firm, and he could get so much food in a few years, Qi Yun Firm must have hidden other materials, such as fur, animal tendons, according to the news of the Blood Shadow Guard, Qi Yan also has a horse farm somewhere outside Yanzhou Mansion, with 5,000 good horses under his subordinates, Zhao Xun was very moved when he heard it.

Now that Qi Yan wants to take advantage of the chaos to escape, where will Zhao Xun let him get his way, Zhao Xun has already bought many subordinates in Qi Yan's mansion, and Qi Yan's every move now is under the surveillance of the Shadow Guard and the Blood Shadow Guard.

Asked Steward Su, and after learning that Su Yun came back as soon as he was lost, he went directly to the study to find Su Yun.

"My lord, I have something to ask for your help." When I saw Su Yun, I saw Su Yun's tired face, and I also knew that the invasion of the Tatar people was not as simple as it seemed, but these had nothing to do with me.

"Zhao Xun, I heard that you were assassinated again today? You're amazing, twice. Anyway, is there anything I need help with? ”

"Qi Yan is about to run away, I want to catch him, after all, his materials were transported by us, and he also knows the situation in Yanzhou Mansion very well. He must not be let go. Zhao Xun said.

Su Yun glanced at Zhao Xun and said with a smile: "And you also have a fancy to the assets under Qi Yan's name, under Qi Yan's command, restaurants, shops and warehouses, there are more than 30 places in Yanzhou City alone, and there are still many materials in secret, you are moved." ”

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "The kid is really moved, who can take these things, why can't I take them?" ”

"Then why don't you go directly by yourself!" Su Yun asked.

Zhao Xun rolled his eyes and said: "I'm a battalion soldier, in other words, a private soldier, I don't have the right to arrest people, let alone close the store, so I still need the help of adults." ”

Su Yun was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the battalion soldiers had no right to arrest people, but now no one underestimated Zhao Xun, which is also the reason why Zhao Xun killed two people in a row, and no one asked.

"Okay, I'll let Wutong assist you, he and you are old partners."

"Then thank you, sir, but if you have something, just tell me! Zhao Xun will do his best. Zhao Xun said this from the bottom of his heart, Su Yun had already helped him many times, and he should thank him well.

West Daying

"Master Wu!"

"Don't dare, Lord Zhao is here, how dare I call my Wutong an adult? Adults can just call me Wutong. Wu Tong said with a flattering smile. The current Wutong doesn't dare to be big in front of Zhao Xun, and he doesn't want to think about the death of the nephew of Governor Shi yesterday, so he said that the five thousand people with armor under Zhao Xun's command are not easy to mess with, not to mention, Wutong also knows that Zhao Xun's subordinates are not more than five thousand, because Zhao Xun invited many veterans to be instructors here, and some of them are even gone.

"This time, I'm going to bother Lord Wu again, here is five thousand yuan, and the hard work of Lord Wu is right." With a wave of his hand, the guard behind him sent a small box, and Wu Tong understood that this was the so-called hard work.

"What's so embarrassing?" Wu Tong said with a dry smile.

"Master Wu has worked hard, how can Zhao not express it? Besides, we started friends, what do you think? Zhao Xun stared at Wu Tong and said.

Wu Tong felt that Zhao Xun's eyes revealed a wolf-like sharp look, and after listening to Zhao Xun's words, he understood that it was a friend, so it was easy to say, if not, this Zhao Xun was definitely a demon king who killed people like chickens.

"Of course, of course we are friends, so thank you Lord Zhao for your kindness, and Wu Tong will do what Lord Zhao wants."

"Good! Zhao Qingshan, Zhao Hai, immediately divide your people into thirty squads, follow Wu Quchang's subordinates, go to the designated place to seal the shop, and catch all the people. On the way, those who dare to resist and obstruct the action will be killed! If there is a situation, the trumpet will be sounded, and the surrounding brothers will immediately go to the rescue. Zhao Xun said with a heavy killing intent and a gloomy smile.

"Subordinates take orders!" The two of them came out and answered loudly, under the influence of Zhao Xun, these soldiers were all murderous and warlike soldiers.

"Let's go!"

More than 2,000 people, with the roar of galloping horses, flowed into various avenues like merging water, rushing to the designated target. Zhao Xun and Wu Tong went straight to Qi Mansion.

On Changxin Street, Qi Yan has a restaurant here, a rice shop, a garment shop, and a warehouse, which are full of all kinds of furs and animal tendons that are ready to be sold to the government army to make bows and arrows.

"Boom, boom!" A detachment of cavalry rushed into the area, divided into four lanes.

"Dismount!" The captain shouted, and everyone dismounted, and under the leadership of the government army, they went straight to the shops everywhere.

Tianxing Restaurant, a three-storey high-end restaurant, is now close to noon, and there are many diners eating, including some big businessmen and scholars.

"Bang dang!" The door of the restaurant was slammed open, and a team of soldiers rushed in.

"Who are you? How casually...... Hmm...... "A person on the second floor was interrupted from eating, which was very disappointing, just like a loud scolding, according to his identity as a subordinate official of the Assassin Mansion, he can't control these little soldiers?" Who knew that as soon as he said half a sentence, he was covered by his colleagues, and a voice that made him tremble in his ears: "I don't want to live anymore, the people behind me are all from the Huolin Army, and they don't blink when they kill people!" ”

Huolin's army took out his long knife, smashed an empty table beside him with one sword, and shouted: "By the order of the soldiers and horses, Lord Su, close the store!" Everyone go out at once, those who dare to block, those who resist, will be killed with conspiracy! ”

As soon as the words "boom ......" came out, the whole restaurant suddenly became chaotic, and no matter who it was, they all ran out of the restaurant in a hurry.

"Catch them, kill the rebels!" The team leader pointed to the trembling restaurant shopkeeper and the guy and ordered.

This kind of thing happened at the same time in the other three stores, and the shopkeeper of one store just said one more sentence, and was killed on the spot by the indifferent soldiers, so that the originally dissatisfied customers no longer dared to intervene.

Hero Building, the most luxurious restaurant in Yanzhou City, is five stories high, and it is definitely one of the best in Yanzhou City. The Hero Building is located in Yanzhou City, which is only close to the Assassin's Mansion, and many officials feast here on weekdays, but this is also Qi Yan's asset, and Zhao Xun will naturally not let it go. Due to the possibility of encountering officials from Yanzhou Prefecture, Zhao Xun deliberately put Zhao Ning in charge here.

On the fifth floor of the Hero Building, Zou Ling, the assassin of Yanzhou, was also discussing Zhao Xun's matter with several subordinate officials.

"My lord, this Zhao Xun is really a ruthless person, if he says to kill someone, he will kill someone, but now we are relaxed, those noble sons are much more honest now, I really can't figure out how the generals of the Long Xiang Army endured it." One sighed.

Zou Ling shook his head and said: "Don't think that Zhao Xun kid is a stupid person and a murderous demon king, he has long understood that these people were deliberately brought there by us, but we didn't expect that Zhao Xun's kid to kill him directly." But that's fine, any responsibility is on his head, and I can't be blamed when the time comes. ”

"If he knows, why would he do it?" One asked, puzzled.

"Without him, it is to think of our human favor and ask us not to hinder him anymore. In my opinion, this kid is by no means a simple person, and the adults need to unite with the people of the Governor's Mansion to restrain him. One said coldly.

Zou Ling said: "It's not proper, this Zhao Xun and Su Yun have a very good relationship, our restrictions don't have much effect on him, besides, he did us a favor this time, how can he not take revenge." Yu Jing, I know you're worried, but now that the Tatars are coming, we can't ignore this and think about other things. ”

When Yu Jing heard this, she sighed helplessly: "What kind of revenge is nothing more than that you are leaving office, and you don't want to provoke Zhao Xun, for fear that you will be dealt with halfway through your departure." Alas...... This Zhao Xun, how far will you go? ”
