On the fourth day of December in the tenth year of Datang Tianbao, the sky was cloudy and windy. In a restaurant diagonally opposite the street of the Xiao Mansion of Qinrenfang, in the window position, there are two stout men with round faces and small eyes. While eating, he glanced at a group of axe gang minions around the door of Xiao Mansion from time to time, and there was a chaotic shout.

"Xiao Quai, do you dare to come out and fight with grandpa for 300 rounds......"

"Thanks to the Hu Shang of Xishi, you spread you like a god, and you defeated tens of thousands of food troops by yourself, and destroyed Mulu Jiancheng with one arrow. Phew! If you are really so powerful, how can you shrink in the courtyard and dare not come out......"

"Useless horsemen, liars who are used to bragging, scum who sells their reputations......"

"Xiao Quai, you big turtle, you don't dare to say a word when you are blocked by someone blocking the gate and scolding, you have no guts and rats, you can do this job, it is better to buy a piece of tofu and kill it directly!"

"Xiao turtle, come out and die...... A room full of big tortoises, cowards ......"

Since Wang Weld and Xing Wei decided to rebel, they immediately gathered all their men, the 1,000 gangs of the Axe Gang, and Wang Weld's more than 200 slaves and bought outlaws. In Yong'an Fang, the headquarters of the Axe Gang, as well as Pingkang Fang, Jinchengfang and other strongholds, they began to hold feasts, distribute money and goods, and treat everyone.

The best fat sheep, the whole chicken, duck, goose and fish, and the jar of fine wine are as if they don't need money, and they have never been broken. For their group of minions and outlaws, they also let go of eating and drinking, and they are drunk tonight, and they are so happy that they almost fly.

They also had speculations about why Wang Weld and Xing Wei were suddenly like this, and the final conclusion was to do something to Xiao Quai's house. Thinking of the benefits that Wang Weld and Xing Wei have been to everyone for more than a year, they began to pat their chests one by one, saying that they would sell their lives to Xing Weld and Wang Weld.

Don't say that it was Xiao Quai, a water dog who had lost his favor, and they were too drunk, even if Xing Wei and Wang Jian asked them to kill Li Linfu, they would do what they said. At this moment, more than 1,000 people were even more eager than Xing Xuan and Wang Weld, and they couldn't wait for the two of them to immediately order, they rushed to Xiao's mansion, hacked to death all the more than 100 rangers inside, and cut Xiao Qu's body into pieces!

The more than 200 minions blocking the door of Xiao's house, plus the 100 at the back door, had just come out of a stronghold in Pingkangfang. Today's official day of Wang Weld and Xing Wei's launch, after eating the banquet in the morning, the two of them divided more than 1,000 men under their command in half.

Wang Weld took more than half of the people and horses to secretly go to the camp of the Longwu Forbidden Army near the Huaqing Palace to hide (because every year Li Longji has to go to the Huaqing Palace to live for more than two months, and the entourage is crowded, and gradually the Huaqing Palace has become a small city, and there are many businessmen and people living outside the palace, and it is not a problem to buy a house in advance to hide hundreds of people. And Xing Wei continued to sit in Chang'an, sending people to besiege Xiao Zhai, just waiting for Wang Weld to finish it, and bring troops over to kill all the people in Xiao Mansion.

Because he felt that Xiao Qu's illness was about to end, scolding was inevitable, and the people inside didn't even scold back, which fueled their arrogance, and everything unpleasant came out.

The noisy shouting was mixed with a lot of unstoppable laughter, so loud that the whole street could hear it. The two stout men upstairs couldn't help but hook a mocking smile on the corner of their mouths when they heard this, they really didn't know whether they were dead or alive. Others didn't believe that Xiao Qubing could defeat tens of thousands of food troops in the river and collapse Mulu Jiancheng with one arrow, but they believed it.

While taunting the Axe Gang for not knowing whether they are alive or dead, they are also becoming more and more confused. According to the information collected by their leader, Liu Luogu, Xiao Quzhi is not a cowardly and fearful person, why was he bullied like this and fought back, could it be that he was brewing some big killing moves?

It doesn't look like it, according to Liu Luogu's analysis of him, they all think that Xiao Qubing is a brave and reckless man. Not to mention anything else, take the previous incident of his own side sending someone to assassinate him in Xishi, he indiscriminately bit Wang Jiao, but let go of the real murderer!

When the two Khitan spies were puzzled, in the other corner of the restaurant, seven or eight rangers who were also concerned about the matter were full of disappointment, and they were also happy.

They were all Chang'an rangers who came to Xiao's sick house that day to join the Anxi Army, although they chose to quit because they didn't like to be restrained or couldn't endure hardship, but they still had a youthful enthusiasm in their hearts. I hope to see Xiao Qubing take those rangers who have not quit to make a big career and make contributions, but now they can't help but sigh.

"Ahem! Originally, I thought that General Xiao would be an amazing hero, who made such a great contribution in the river, was so favored by His Majesty, and also recognized the noble concubine Niangniang as his sister. Such a character should be enough to compete with Wang Ji and them, but I didn't expect such a result in the end! ”

"Who said no, five days ago, I saw him teach Wang Zhun that Huahua Tai Sui in Pingkangfang, it was so happy and so relieved. Seeing that he was full of confidence and complacent, I thought that Wang Ji would be unlucky immediately? As a result, he still couldn't fight Wang Ji and Li Linfu, the two traitors! ”

"Even General Xiao has been defeated, will they be allowed to do whatever they want in the future? This year's tax is half heavier than in previous years, and many people have been forced to ruin their families and sell their children and daughters. If this continues, how can this government get it? ”

"Hey, don't say anything about General Xiao, I heard that he has been removed from the rank of General Jin Wuwei. Now that we have been ordered to think about it behind closed doors, although we don't know the inside story, but seeing that Wang Weld and the Axe Gang are so unscrupulous, and these Wuhou next to them are just watching from afar, maybe this matter is not over yet, maybe it will be like Huangfu Weiming and Wang Zhonghei who were framed to death......"

"Pity the more than 100 rangers who will be involved with ......"

"Fortunately, we withdrew from the ...... in time"

Just when these seven or eight rangers were sighing and rejoicing, they saw a cavalry of more than 30 people coming from the direction of Fangmen in the distance. The knights on the horse are all iron-clad brocade robes, majestic and majestic, and the crotch riding is also a royal flying dragon and royal horse, tall and godlike, really like a tiger and a horse.

The person who came was the thirty Flying Dragon Forbidden Army trained by Sun Liu and Xiao Qubing in the Inner Garden, and they were following Li Longji's order to summon Xiao Quai's illness to Huaqing Palace to accompany the king.

The eight rangers in the restaurant immediately stopped their conversation, and watched the group of more than thirty people get closer and closer. The leader is the eunuch in the palace, the envoy is enshrined, and the Son of Heaven's pro-army Feilong Forbidden Army is followed by the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army, and it is known that they must have gone to the Xiao Mansion to deliver the decree. I just don't know if it's good or bad.

The two Khitan spies under Liu Luogu also stared at this team intently, and kept praying in their hearts, hoping that it would be good to degrade Na Xiao's will to get sick!

More than two hundred noisy axe gang minions and Wang Weld's slaves also widened their eyes and got out of the way, hoping that these people were coming to relieve Xiao Quai's crime.

But soon they were disappointed, first the leading envoy saw these minions who surrounded Xiao Mansion, and he was furious, and he didn't greet him, and as soon as he gave an order, the thirty Flying Dragon Forbidden Army behind him began to bend their bows and arrows, and shot more than 200 people like rabbits.

All of a sudden, the swishing sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air, the screams of minions hitting arrows, and the neighing of war horses became one. The passers-by and diners on both sides of the street were stunned, and the gang members of the Axe Gang who were attacked and Wang Weld's house slaves were completely confused about what was going on.

Half a moment ago, they were still proud, pointing to the gate of the Xiao Mansion and scolding, their egos were inflated to the extreme, and they wanted to rush into the Xiao Mansion immediately to kill the Quartet; When they saw this team of flying dragon forbidden troops a few breaths ago, they were still full of joy, full of expectations that Xiao Qu was going to be unlucky, and he was going to be condemned, and he couldn't say that it would be the end of the whole house, hum, it was cheap for that big turtle, otherwise he had to let him taste the power of his fists and sticks!

Why all of a sudden, the situation took a sharp turn, how could this team of Flying Dragon Forbidden Army not follow the routine at all. Why didn't you even say a word, no warning, no reprimand, and you will kill directly when you give an order. These little minions, who had swelled their self-confidence a few minutes ago, and felt that they were invincible in the world, immediately became yelling like killing pigs, and ran around like flies without a head.

It wasn't until after three rounds of arrow rain that the leading Sun Liu roared loudly: "Where did the little fanatics come from, they dared to gather a crowd to besiege the Hou Mansion and bully the ministers of the dynasty, Niangniang's righteous brother, they really don't know whether they are alive or dead!" ”

He raised his hand and struck a killed Wuhou next to him with a whip, and reprimanded loudly: "Are you dead people, watching them do evil like this? Don't arrest them all! ”

Seeing that the leader of the team was beaten, more than a dozen Wuhou came back from their stunned state, waved the iron ruler in their hands and began to chase and capture those little minions who fled in a hurry.

"Well done! Kill hard! The eight rangers in the restaurant also came back to their senses and slapped the table and shouted loudly. In the other corner of the second floor of the restaurant, the two spies arranged by Liu Luogu had a bitter face like a dead old lady, looking at the situation, the envoy in the edict did not come to belittle Xiao Quai, but to comfort and even reward Xiao Quai.

Sure enough, the door of Xiao's house opened, and Xiao Qu's illness seemed to have known for a long time, riding a tall white horse with an abnormal horse, and walked out with ten entourages Shi Shiran. The face is light and breezy, as if Zhizhu is in his hand.

"Lieutenant Envoy Sun, I came here this time, but Your Majesty wants to announce me into the palace?" Xiao Quzhi glanced around, and the axe gang minions were dead outside the door, but there were still many fish caught in the net, and they were fleeing as if they were dying; Then he casually glanced at the restaurant diagonally opposite, and then asked Sun Liuliu loudly.

Sun Liu was happy and puzzled: "Exactly, you already knew?" Not only did you enter the palace to accompany you, but there were also two envoys to reward you! ”

"Of course I do." Xiao Quzhi smiled and said, "Then hurry up, I also have important matters to report to Your Majesty!" ”

"What's the big deal, so urgent?" Sun Liu's war horse was pulled by Xiao Quai's illness and turned around, and he complained loudly: "Why do you have to wait for me to announce the decree, and then go in for a cup of tea, how can there be such a ...... in such a hurry?"

Xiao Quzhi looked mysterious, leaned into Sun Liu's ear and said something, and then everyone saw Sun Liu's eyes widen and his face was full of disbelief......

After Xiao Quai's ill Sun Liu's party and more than 40 people left, the door of Xiao's house closed again, and a stout Khitan spy in the restaurant also hurriedly ran down the restaurant and ran in the other direction of Qinrenfang. At the same time, a white minion who was gathered in the direction of the back door of Xiao's house also got the news from the front door, and began to flee in the direction of Pingkangfang.
