The smile on Xiao Shinu's face disappeared, just like the screams in the abandoned manor not far away.

The breeze swept through the wilderness, the grass and trees rattled, looking at the banners displayed around, looking at the big "Xue" character on the flag, Xiao Shinu's heart sank to the bottom.

Didn't Xue Jiajun obey orders under Guo Ziyi's account in Chuzhou, how could he suddenly come to Yangzhou, and he appeared in such a place at the right time, who led the troops, why did he come here, and what was the purpose.

A series of questions can't be clarified, and the only thing that is certain is that if you want to kill Yang Ping'an again, I'm afraid that there will be no chance.

Yang Ping'an is a concubine, the supervisor sent to Yangzhou by Tang Emperor Yang Rui, and Guo Ziyi is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and has always been dissatisfied with the involvement of Xiao Taishi, who leans towards the government and the opposition, and Xue Song is his righteous son, how can he sit back and watch him assassinate Yang Ping'an.

"I am a slave under the Taishi, and I came here to kill the thieves on the orders of the Taishi, who will come?"

"Take them down, and if they resist, they will be killed." A female general rode out, her face was like frost and cold, who else could it be if it wasn't Xue Yufeng.

"Bold, you dare to be disrespectful to the Grand Master, I see which one dares to touch me." Xiao Shinu was unwilling to be captured, shouting angrily, and the men he brought with him also abandoned their opponents and gathered around him, protecting him in the middle, facing this sudden attack with a solemn expression.

If Xiao Shinu knew about the relationship between Yang Ping'an and Xue Yufeng, he would definitely regret it, he shouldn't have let Yang Ping'an go at all, but should have taken Yang Ping'an before the Xue family army approached.

It's a pity that because of Lao Su Tou and Tian Cewei, and Xue Song doesn't want to get into trouble, although Yang Rui learned that Yang Ping'an had appeared in Shandong and had a close relationship with Xue Yufeng, Xiao Taishi and his shadow guards didn't know anything about it.

"Jade Phoenix." Looking at the emaciation of the beautiful woman who had not been seen for a long time, Yang Ping'an couldn't help but be excited in his heart and shouted.

How did he know Xue Yufeng's answer, but it made him open his mouth wide: "Bold, who are you to dare to call General Ben by his name." ”

"It's me, I'm Yang Ping'an, Yufeng, don't you remember me."

It was only at this moment that Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu's hearts relaxed, knowing that they were finally safe, the female general who led the troops seemed to have an old relationship with Yang Ping'an, and An Lushan had already recognized Xue Yufeng, and when the Xue Zi banner was raised, he was so tired that he sat on the ground panting.

"Oh, it's the pony-sama, disrespectful." There was still no emotion in Xue Yufeng's voice, "The general's surname is Xue, and the horse can call the general Xue, but the general's name is not what the horse can call." ”

"Jade ...... Well, General Xue, why did you come here with your troops. ”

"Stupid." Xue Yufeng scolded in a low voice, but this low scolding still came into the ears of Yang Ping'an and Xiao Shinu, the latter suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and just wanted to speak, but saw Xue Yufeng waving his hand: "Such a traitor who wants to assassinate the horse, and dares to pretend to be the name of Xiao Taishi, it is really hateful, and the generals will listen to the order and kill the general." ”

The military camp implements execution, and the words of the leading generals often play a decisive role, so no one will care whether that person is really pretending to be the son of Xiao Taishi, and immediately stretches his bow and arrows, and without waiting for Xiao Shinu to speak, ten thousand arrows are fired.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Bastard."

"I am the son of the Grand Master, how dare you ...... like this"

The screams and curses continued, and dozens of Xiao Shinu's subordinates were not willing to sit still, wanting to rush out, but there were only thirty or so of them, how could they face the thousands of battle-hardened elite Tang soldiers besieging them.

After a round of arrow rain, only Xiao Shinu who was hit by six arrows on his body was left who could still breathe, but at this moment, Xiao Shinu no longer had the previous arrogance, sat on the ground and forced his upper body to prop up, crying and begging, while repeatedly emphasizing that he was the son of Xiao Taishi, while begging Xue Yufeng to spare his life, if you don't believe his identity, you can catch him for verification.

Xue Yufeng really ordered the sergeant to stop, stepped forward with a phoenix-tailed gun, and came to Xiao Shinu's side: "You are really the son of Master Xiao." ”

As he spoke, the tip of the gun had already reached Xiao Shinu's throat, and the latter wanted to nod but didn't dare, so he could only say in a loud voice: "Really, really, Taishi Xiao is really my father-in-law......"

"You lied to me." Xue Yufeng's apricot eyes suddenly widened, and with a shake in his hand, the phoenix tail gun was about to poke at Xiao Shinu's chest.

"You can't kill him." At the last moment, a dagger opened the spear in Xue Yufeng's hand, and Yang Ping'an's figure blocked in front of Xiao Shinu.

Xiao Shinu never thought that there would be a scene today, Yang Ping'an's rescue made him have a moment of trance in his mind, but the next moment he hugged Yang Ping'an's leg and cried: "Donkey, I know it's wrong, I don't dare to offend the horse in the future, ask the horse to save my life." ”

"What are you doing?" Xue Yufeng didn't expect Yang Ping'an to make a move for Xiao Shinu, and said angrily.

"You can't kill him." Yang Ping'an still said this.

"Do you know what he's trying to do?"

"Of course I do." Yang Ping'an smiled and nodded, his right hand waved back, and the mandarin duck dagger in his hand was mercilessly inserted into the throat of Xiao Shinu behind him.

Xiao Shinu died like this, his eyes were wide open, and he didn't understand why Yang Ping'an saved him first, and then took his surname without any signs.

Xue Yufeng didn't understand either, and watched in amazement as Yang Ping'an pulled out the dagger and wiped the blood on Xiao Shinu's body: "You ......"

"You can't kill him." Yang Ping'an knew what she wanted to ask, and his answer was still this sentence, but this time Xue Yufeng finally understood.

Xiao Shinu is the righteous son of Xiao Taishi, no matter what Xiao Taishi thinks of this guy who is willing to be a dog for the sake of glory and wealth, but Xiao Shinu is Xiao Taishi's henchman.

Xue Yufeng ruined his good deeds, and it was better to say that he killed his minions, after all, he was protected by Guo Ziyi, but if he killed Xiao Shinu, this Liang Zi would be bigger, and Xiao Taishi, who had lost a lot of face, would not give up.

That's why Yang Ping'an's sentence "You can't kill him", he didn't want Xue Yufeng to be in danger.

But Yang Ping'an doesn't care, anyway, Xiao Taishi wants to put him to death, it is said that Yang Ping'an killed Xiao Shinu, even if Xiao Taishi's biological son Xiao Teng is killed, the relationship between the two will not change at all, it is already bad to the bottom, what else can it become.

A crisis was resolved in this way, although this time it had nothing to do with Lao Su Tou and Tian Cewei, but it was also Xue Yufeng who led the troops to appear to save him this time.

Yang Ping'an once again realized what Lao Su Tou and Yang Cao had said to him, what he said about military power, he knew that his crisis was getting worse and worse, and he came from all directions, he couldn't always rely on the protection of others, so he had to obtain military power, just in Yangzhou, and Xue Yufeng's arrival was like a tiger for him.

"General Xue, why did you suddenly appear here, ...... over there?"

"I sent troops to kill all the rogues over there......"

The 5,000 soldiers and horses brought by Xue Yufeng were all from the Xue family's army, and they went to Yangzhou on the order of Guo Ziyi, the generalissimo of Pingnan, but she did not settle in Yangzhou City, but came here first, besieged and killed the rogues here, and then hid in the shadows and waited for Yang Ping'an to lead the troops.

Although she understood why Yang Ping'an didn't let her kill Xiao Shinu, and also felt Yang Ping'an's kindness, her voice was still cold, and the coldness made Yang Ping'an puzzled.

What is even more puzzling is: "How did the general know that Xiao Shinu was calculating against me again." ”

Although Xue Yufeng's attitude towards Yang Ping'an was cold, he still answered all of Yang Ping'an's questions.

Not long ago, Guo Ziyi received a letter from Xu Yuan, the Taishou of Yangzhou, which listed in detail the various culpabilities of Shi Siming, the general of Yangzhou, and described in detail Yang Ping'an's grudge with Shi Siming in order to make decisions for the people, as well as Xu Yuan's own worries, he was worried that Shi Siming would be unfavorable to Yang Ping'an.

Guo Ziyi sent Xue Yufeng to lead 5,000 troops to Yangzhou, under the name of jointly guarding Yangzhou, an important place in the north of the Yangtze River, with Shi Siming, but in fact to protect Yang Ping'an.

On the way to Xue Yufeng's leading troops, just as the army was about to arrive in Yangzhou City, a masked man broke into the camp and told her that Yang Ping'an was in danger and asked her to wait here to protect Yang Ping'an.

Masked man, who will it be, Yang Ping'an didn't think of it even if he wanted to break his head, now the relationship between Tang and Zhou is tense, Yang Cao is busy settling in the Great Zhou country, Yang Rui is worried that Yang Ping'an and Tian Cewei will have a relationship, so Tian Cewei has no chance to lurk around him to protect secretly.

But if it weren't for Tian Cewei to report to Xue Yufeng, who else could it be.

On the way back to Yangzhou City, Yang Ping'an had been thinking about this question, and he didn't notice that Xue Yufeng, whose face was like frost, set his eyes on him, and then glared at him hatefully...... Along the way, Xue Yufeng kept repeating this action.

Until he was about to arrive in Yangzhou City, Yang Ping'an suddenly said: "Yufeng, what is said today ......"

"What are you calling me?"

"Oh, General Xue, please keep the general's matter secret, don't tell Xiao Shinu about it......"

"Didn't you say it all, why are you so verbose, aren't you worried about General Ben?"

After killing Xiao Shinu, Yang Ping'an had indeed instructed Xue Yufeng, and asked Xue Yufeng to send someone to bury all the more than 200 corpses of Xiao Shinu and his gang, leaving no trace, as if these people had never appeared.

At the same time, he also told Xue Yufeng that this matter should not be leaked, and it should not be used to attack Shi Siming, which made Xue Yufeng very puzzled, but Yang Ping'an naturally had his reasons for doing this, and it was not suitable to force Shi Siming too hard, and this matter could not put Shi Siming to death.

Yang Ping'an, who has been in life and death several times, now has no previous unbearable attitude when facing the enemy, and killing the enemy is just like when he kicked away his competitors when he was fighting against state-owned enterprises.

Either he doesn't make a move, and once he does, he will definitely kill Shi Siming, but before that, he will never let the other party take precautions.

Therefore, he did not intend to use this matter as an excuse to question Shi Siming, and he did not even want to mention Xiao Shinu.

Xu Yuan and Shi Siming did not greet him ten miles away, on the contrary, the gate of Yangzhou City was closed, when he and Xue Yufeng were about to come to the city gate, they found that the city head was heavily defended, Shi Siming and Xu Yuan were standing on the city gate, and there were arrows shooting, making them stop.

What's going on.
