Seeing Li Huamei leading people to the rescue, Zhu Houwei turned his head and fired a shot, hitting an assassin with a Zhuge crossbow, and shouted loudly, "Hong Yu, suddenly, for a long time, retreat." ”

When the two heard Zhu Houwei's shout, they immediately did so. Hong Yu separated the knife from one person, took a few steps forward, and the blade in his hand slashed through the enemy's neck in a graceful arc, and the enemy immediately hugged his neck and fell to the ground. And Hong Yu did not stop, separated the stabbing swords, burst into the rear of the enemy, and came to the assassin with a bow and crossbow. And these long-range shooters were also startled, and hurriedly put down their bows and crossbows, drew their sabers and fought with Hong Yu. Xingjiu took a few steps back to block the assassin's attack, and the two uninjured soldiers behind him were also holding sabers to block the enemy and Zhu Houwei.

Originally, this trick was not used because the number of enemies was much larger than that of Zhu Houwei's side, if Hong Yu rushed over, it was very likely to be dangerous, after all, no matter how high the martial arts were, it would be very difficult to defeat a hundred enemies. And now, there are more than a dozen enemies left, except for the long-range shooters in the rear, there are less than ten people in hand-to-hand combat, with Xingjiu and a few soldiers, they can still delay for a while. The most important thing is that it will take a little time for Li Huamei and the others to rush over, if no one restrains the crossbowmen, they may suffer huge losses, and Zhu Houwei knows the most about the firepower of Zhuge Repeater.

The assassins in hand-to-hand combat did not turn around to attack Hong Yu, who broke through to the rear, because their main purpose was still Zhu Houwei, and now there was not much combat power around the target person, it was a good time to attack, and both sides were seizing precious time.

Suddenly, Zhu Houwei frowned, and saw that Xingjiu, the main combat force, had his left arm slashed, but fortunately he avoided it a little at that time, and the injury was not serious, but it also affected his actions.

"Boom" twice, the two enemies snorted and took a few steps back. Zhu Houwei saw that it was a flying knife, although it was not fatal, but it also disintegrated the enemy's combat effectiveness, at this time, Li Huamei and the others were less than ten meters away from here.

A thick, loud middle-aged man's voice sounded among the enemy, "Withdraw." I saw that the few people besieging Zhu Houwei took a few steps back, the two of them were facing Zhu Houwei, and the rest of them turned around and ran back. And a few people who fought with Hong Yu in the back also jumped out of the battle circle, and after the two broke off, the rest ran away quickly.

Hong Yu did not chase after him, the battle to this time, every minute and second not only needs to consume a lot of strength, but also consumes mind, Rao is Hong Yu is extraordinary, after a hundred battles, he is inevitably a little tired, seeing the enemy retreating, just set up a knife to guard, and did not pursue.

Zhu Houwei said, "Come back, don't chase it." "The voice is a little hoarse, today can be said to be extremely dangerous, if it weren't for Li Huamei to bring someone to arrive, maybe she would have to get a lunch here. Looking left and right, four of the soldiers of the amphibious battalion brought out were killed, four were seriously injured, as long as the two were intact, seeing this, Zhu Houwei couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

Hearing the slow pace, he turned his head and saw Li Huamei who came in time, Zhu Houwei reluctantly pulled out a smile and hugged his fists, "Thanks to the rescue of the head of the Li family today, thank you." ”

At this time, Zhu Houwei saw Li Huamei and them clearly, a total of more than a dozen people, but a few of them were stained with blood, and two were injured, and it seemed that there was also a battle on the road. However, Li Huamei didn't have anything on her, except for the flush on her face after running and some fine beads of sweat.

Li Huamei listened to Zhu Houwei's thanks, and shook her head slightly, "Master Zhu, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, it is better to return to the Li Mansion first and then make plans." Zhu Houwei nodded, if you go out of the city at this time, I don't know if there are any hidden enemies, so it is safer to go to the Li Mansion first and gather a large army. After all, in this Quanzhou City, no one will gather a large number of people to fight in frenzy, and at that time, the government of Quanzhou City will have to come forward to stop it no matter how greedy they are for life and fear of death, otherwise at that time, the officialdom of Quanzhou Mansion will not be able to please anyone.

The bodies of the soldiers of the amphibious battalion were placed on the carts, which were pulled by a few uninjured personnel. Although there were no horse-drawn carriages on the street, there were still several carts that were too late to pull away.

Several carts pulled the corpses and the wounded and quickly moved towards the west of the city.

Qin Siyuan is an unlucky child, a native of Wuxi County, Changzhou Prefecture. Wuxi County can be described as an outstanding person, even in Jiangnan, which won the seeds of reading, it is also among the best. This small county town produced more than 200 jinshi in the Ming Dynasty alone, and there were even seven jinshi in the Hongzhi Dynasty, and Qin Siyuan was one of them.

Qin Siyuan is also quite famous, at the age of twelve, at the age of sixteen, he entered Beijing to catch the exam in the twelfth year of Hongzhi (1499), and he was originally on the list, but Qin Siyuan, who was twenty years old at that time, was too young, and Hongzhi felt that he had to hone his young people, so he did not enter the top three. And his friend, the champion of the year, Lun Wenxu, commented that Qin Siyuan was quick to think and had a good literary style, and he said such things with the contemptuous temperament of a literati, which shows that this person is not an ordinary person.

Although he did not enter the top three, Qin Siyuan was still selected as a Shujishi and edited by Hanlin. Shu Ji Shi is a great position, although the official position is not high, but after a few years of training, he can rise to the top, and there are more opportunities to face the saint than ordinary officials.

is young and not yet married, so Qin Siyuan has become a famous sweetheart, and a minister intends to marry his granddaughter to Qin Siyuan, but Qin Siyuan refused, because he already has a fiancée in his hometown. Originally, this was nothing, the ancient roads were impassable, and the flow of information was relatively slow, it may be that when Qin Siyuan entered Beijing, his parents set a marriage for him.

But as the saying goes, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and a red-eyed fellow villager released the news, saying that Qin Siyuan did not have a marriage when he entered Beijing, but after the big man revealed the intention of getting married, Qin Siyuan repaired a book and sent it to his hometown, asking his parents to quickly set a family affair for him. As a result, Qin Siyuan, who had been in the Hanlin Academy for less than half a year, successfully angered the big shots, and his career would also be difficult. But before the big man showed his means, news came from his hometown again, Qin Siyuan's father died of illness. Qin Siyuan had to go home to Ding Wei for three years, the Ming Dynasty did not have Ding Wei but continued to be an official, the most famous is Yu Qian Yu Shaobao, but that is not allowed by Yingzong. So Qin Siyuan returned to his hometown Wuxi County, and he escaped the catastrophe.

Although the Qin family is not a wealthy family, there are still 10,000 acres of fertile land in the family, and it is not bad to be at home for three years. Three years later, an edict from the imperial court called him back to the Hanlin Academy, and he stayed for five years.

Five years later, with Qin Siyuan's qualifications, he should have been given an official position in Beijing, but with the efforts of some people, this unlucky child was driven to Quanzhou to become the prefect.

The prefect's official position is not small, but it is still not as good as being an official in Beijing, at least it is basically difficult to face the saint. Another point is that although Quanzhou is rich, but now the sea of Daming is not quiet, maybe when there will be real and fake Japanese land to run ashore, at that time, losing the official is a trivial matter, maybe even the life will be lost.

Qin Siyuan understands very well why he was brought here, he is not a nerd from a different world. At the beginning, he refused to marry the big man, just to not stand in line early. Although the court was still clear, there was already a rudimentary form of party struggle. As the number of scholars from the north and the south entered the court became more and more disparity, the former north and south gradually became the Chu party and the Zhejiang party, and the north was slightly less powerful. And Qin Siyuan is still young, if he joins a party at this time, then when the current crown prince takes the throne, the danger of changing blood in the imperial court will be too great, it is better to boil his qualifications first, and then make plans.

When he arrived in Quanzhou, Qin Siyuan also did a lot of things, the most important thing was to improve the security of Quanzhou, one was to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the third class and the soldiers defending the city, but Qin Siyuan found that it was basically impossible after trying, and he was not the material for the commander of the army, so he prepared the second plan, that is, to repair the city.

The walls of Quanzhou City look very majestic and strong on the outside, but in fact, many places inside are in disrepair and need to be repaired. Moreover, the equipment used to defend the city is also small in quantity and of poor quality. So Qin Siyuan was ready to raise money to do this, but when he looked at the treasury, he found that what his predecessor left to him was a mess, the huge Quanzhou City, the prosperous Quanzhou City, the money and grain in the treasury were less than two thousand taels, which was enough for something. So Qin Siyuan put down his worth and went to visit the house of the wealthy eunuch in the city, and asked them to raise some donations so that they could make plans. But he didn't expect that he was still spitting lotus flowers in his mouth, and those old treacherous and cunning people did not let go, and the current income was only a few handouts to send food.

Qin Siyuan failed again today, and was ready to return to the official office with a depressed and angry mood. After walking a short distance, I found a group of people in front of me, all with swords, murderous, with blood stains on their bodies, and a cart behind them dragging corpses and wounded. The official who was in charge of protecting him retreated to the back very reasonably, and Qin Siyuan's sedan chair went to the front. As soon as the sedan chair man put down the sedan chair and fled, Qin Siyuan, who was sitting in the sedan chair, if he was not young and reacted quickly, he almost rolled out of the sedan chair and fell on his stomach.

The group of people he met on the road were Zhu Houwei and them, and Qin Siyuan couldn't just sit in the sedan chair, so he lifted the sedan curtain and walked out slightly bent over. Yu Guang saw that at this time, the only people who were beside him were the master and the housekeeper who had brought him from his hometown. Looking at the person in front of him, Qin Siyuan's face was inconvenient, and his trembling legs could not be seen under the wide official robe. I only heard him shout, "Who are you waiting for, and what do you want?" ”

Li Huamei took two steps forward, clasped her fists and saluted, "Lord Qiqi, Li Huamei, who is in the Li family in the west of Xiacheng, met an assassin on the street, and is now on her way home. ”

When Qin Siyuan heard Li Huamei's words, he couldn't help but relax slightly, and while nodding his head, he seemed to be listening carefully to Li Huamei's words, while carefully looking at the person behind Li Huamei. Suddenly, Qin Siyuan's eyes widened, as if he had seen something incredible. Zhu Houwei in the back frowned, knowing in his heart that he was recognized.

Qin Siyuan's expression froze for a moment, and then returned to a righteous and awe-inspiring, iron-faced and selfless state, but in fact, his heart was really not calm. He stayed in the capital for six years, and he also participated in the royal and imperial court sacrifices every year, and he was not impressed by Zhu Houwei, who also participated. But through the changes in the Heavenly Family in the past few years, Qin Siyuan also began to think, and in the end, he thought that it was very likely that so many things were caused by the crown prince and this Fu King. Hongzhi is very familiar with him, and he knows that this emperor can be benevolent and wise, but he is not an emperor who will change, and the changes in the heavenly family in the past few years are obviously not his handiwork, at least not what he came up with. So Qin Siyuan began to take advantage of the limited opportunity to observe these two princes, and he also had a deep impression of this blessed king. Although it is not impossible for Zhu Houwei to be the same every year at his age, the Huang Gonggong beside Zhu Houwei will not change, so Qin Siyuan is sure that this half-grown son with blood on his face and body is the current His Royal Highness King Fu. So the question is, how could King Fu, who was supposed to stay in the capital, suddenly appear in Quanzhou City, and more importantly, this assassination was obviously aimed at Zhu Houwei, what should he do now.

The assassination of the prince happened to be touched by himself, and the Hu family he was going to visit today was also persuaded by the master book, Qin Siyuan knew that he was in trouble and was overshadowed.
