Four soap-clothed men approached Zhu Yujian and his wife with bright and dangling blades. Zeng's body couldn't help but tremble, Zhu Yujian grabbed her shoulder, although her face was pale, her waist became more and more straight.

Suddenly, a black shadow jumped down from the beam of the room, and with the swing of the figure, a wisp of sword blade was as fast as a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, it slashed the throats of the four big men.

The four men fell to the ground with their blades together, their hands helplessly stuck in the wound on their necks, their mouths made a "ho-ho" sound similar to that of a beast, their eyes bulged out, and within a moment, they fell to the ground and died one after another.

Cao Wuxian whistled, and seven or eight soldiers with high walls came out of the corridor in the side room, and the knife was in front of Zhu Yujian and his wife, Zou Jing rubbed his eyes and was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran over to support the crumbling Tang princess Zeng.

The sudden change in front of him made Shi Yingzhao stand stunned for a long time, and then hurriedly retreated a few steps back, and the big men behind him rushed forward and blocked the position in front of Shi Yingzhao.

"You, you're ......!" Shi Yingzhao's body trembled in horror, "Little monkey cub, do you want to rebel?" ”

"If you want to kill the prince, is there a holy decree?" Cao Wuxian asked coldly.

Shi Yingzhao was speechless for a while, "...... this?" ”

"It seems that there are other people who are going to rebel, right?" Cao Wuxian's tone was full of ridicule.

"What are you still doing in a daze!" Shi Yingzhao was annoyed and ashamed, and shouted at his subordinates: "Hurry up, don't leave a single one!" ”

"Slow", with a loud shout, the yard sounded chaotic footsteps, a group of guys wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives on their waists broke in, and the three Shi Yingzhao's subordinates who stayed in the courtyard to guard were cut to the ground by these people without saying anything.

Then, these people broke into the main hall and forced Shi Yingzhao and the others into a corner.

"Hehe, Gonggong Shi, the saber rattling, what are you going to do?" Lu Jiude walked in gracefully, a small eunuch behind him moved a chair casually, and after carefully wiping it, Lu Jiude sat down peacefully, took the purple sand teapot handed by his subordinates, and took a sip of tea.

Lu Jiude knew very well that there was a lot of inside information behind Shi Yingzhao's abuse of the clan. He also knew that Shi Yingzhao was currently very close to Cao Huachun, the eunuch with the palm print of the inner palace celebrant eunuch, and what he was planning was to return to the inner or outer to be released as a town guard. Although Lu Jiude also had the same idea and had strong support in the palace, he didn't want to tear his face because of Shi Yingzhao and Cao Huachun.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Jiude strongly persuaded Lu Zhenfei not to fall too deep in this matter. Lu Jiude understood that once Lu Zhenfei made things out of control, he would be unlucky in the end, after all, he was now the chief eunuch of Fengyang Zhongguan.

A letter from the palace strengthened Lu Jiude's thoughts. The letter and Lu Jiude agreed in their hearts, the affairs of the internal officials were still solved by the internal officials, Lu Zhenfei was the governor of Fengyang on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and he could manage the affairs of the forbidden wall, but in the end he could not solve them, this is the bottom line of the matter.

In addition, through the operation of strong reinforcements in the palace, Lu Jiude's appointment as the eunuch of Nanjing Town is already a certainty. This also means that Lu Jiude will re-enter the foreground from Fengyang, the place where the eunuchs were exiled, and at this time, he must properly handle the matter of Shi Yingzhao according to the will of the big man in the palace.

There is another point that Lu Jiude cannot understand the most. That is, the letter actually mentioned the little-known Zhu Ping'an, and told Lu Jiude to take care of one or two as appropriate.

seems to not care, but Lu Jiude will not take it lightly.

Lu Jiude originally planned to inquire about Zhu Ping'an's details after the incident, the insight and courage of this hundred households really made him a little jealous, if he didn't have a strong enough backer, then such a person would definitely not be able to stay in the world.

But now it seems that this person does have some kind of unknown connection with the palace. Lu Jiude was glad that he didn't act rashly.

After figuring out these things, for Shi Yingzhao, Lu Jiude could only say secretly: "Count your kid unlucky!" ”

Lu Jiude looked at Cao Wuxian, who was loyal to the lord, nodded appreciatively, and turned his gaze to Shi Yingzhao, who had retreated to the corner of the wall, his face was like dead ashes. "Father-in-law Shi, alas! Why bother, is it worth losing your future for some silver? ”

Lu Jiude's words made Shi Yingzhao shudder, he had been in the inner house for so many years, and he was used to seeing ups and downs, what Lu Jiude's appearance meant, he knew very well in his heart. and Lu Jiude's unobtrusive words, if you want to tell him something, isn't it just to warn him not to climb at will!

Shi Yingzhao trembled like chaff, and after thinking for a while, he said dejectedly, "I hurt my clan relatives for no reason, I, Shi Yingzhao, confess my guilt, and ask Gonggong Lu to deal with it!" After speaking, he waved his hand, and the frightened man in soap threw the blade in his hand to the ground.

Shi Yingzhao's attitude made Lu Jiude very satisfied, he smiled and clapped his hands, "Gonggong Shi is an old man in the palace, as long as he repents, there is still room for things to turn around." In this way, please ask Gonggong Shi to temporarily grieve at the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households for two days, and when the will of the palace is made, let's talk about it! ”

Jinyi Wei escorted all the disillusioned Shi Yingzhao and his henchmen away, but left one person, that is, the Tsing Yi eunuch who was with Shi Yingzhao.

Lu Jiude put his hands behind his back and didn't even look at him, "Lord Lu impeached Shi Yingzhao's passage to Guò Jinyiwei to Jingshi, and the reply is estimated to arrive in the next two days." Shi Yingzhao's life will definitely not be saved, but our family is afraid that he will chew his tongue and say things that should not be said......! ”

The eunuch in Tsing Yi fell to his knees with a thud, "The little one knows what to do, and if you ask your father-in-law to spare the little one's life, you must make a grass ring to repay your father-in-law's kindness!" ”

Lu Jiude nodded, "That's natural, it's good to do things, and the benefits are indispensable to you!" ”

watched the eunuch in Tsing Yi be escorted away by the Jinyi guards with a thousand thanks. Lu Jiude's voice suddenly became low, "After the matter is completed, none of Shi Yingzhao's subordinates will be left." Including him! ”

The little eunuch beside him bowed calmly, turned around and went out on an errand.

Lu Jiude turned around, his face had been replaced with a harmless smile of humans and animals, and he bowed to Zhu Yujian and his wife, "Lord and Princess, you two are frightened." Slaves and maids are not well guarded, it is really a capital crime! “

"Fortunately, the clouds of the day have dispersed, not to mention the things in front of you, there is also good news, Zhu Ping'an, the general of your mansion, has made a great contribution, attacked the camp of the bandits at night, and defeated the thieves. Now, Lord Lu has sent troops out of the city to respond, I'm afraid that when dawn, it will be time to enter the city to make a contribution! ”

……

The showers stopped abruptly in the early morning, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, the blue sky was like washing, a round of red sun jumped out of the horizon, and the light of ten thousand rays of light shone towards Fengyang City, although it was still a ruined wall, but the city revealed a joy that could not be concealed for the rest of his life.

Soldiers and horses from all over the place have gathered under the Fengyang Imperial City. The generals of the Bancao army who did not seize the opportunity beat their chests and feet, and even the prefect of Fengyang and other civil officials were also gloomy, who would have thought that a gust of wind that swept through the south of Zhili would be so unbeatable, and the cavalry of more than 100 people would defeat it lightly.

The soldiers of the new army and the guards of the high wall were beaming, showing off their military might and escorting the captives and captured people to the outside of the Donghua Gate, roughly counting, just beheading reached more than 3,000, of course, there are many of them who kill good and take meritorious service, during the war, these are unavoidable.

More than 10,000 prisoners and prisoners were now confined in a wooden fence-walled camp. As for the baggage, it is even more piled up. The robes and belts of each of the soldiers were also bulging, and last night's battle was too simple for them, and it was simply a godsend opportunity to make a fortune.

Even the two thousand households who have always rejected Zhu Ping'an's high-walled guards are now praising Zhu Ping'an as Fengyang's lucky general, and the flattery of being young and heroic and resolute will come as soon as they open their mouths. Duan Xinian was even surrounded by a group of generals, and an old face bloomed like a flower. Last night, I went out on a trip, not to mention the harvest, and a military merit was easy to get it. At this time, Duan Xinian, the slander against Zhu Ping'an that had accumulated in his heart in the past two days had long since disappeared, and all that was left was gratitude and pride.

Zhu Ping'an was also on the way back at this time, and met Hong Fatzi with a surprised face on the way, and heard that 10,000 taels of gold were intercepted in Zhang Rujing's carriage, and Zhu Ping'an was also overjoyed.

As soon as the battle is over, it is necessary to reward the subordinates, as well as compensation for the deceased brothers. These imperial courts will not consider it, but Zhu Ping'an must take it to heart. The reason is that these teams of more than 300 people are Zhu Ping'an's "private soldiers" in the true sense. There is only one object of their allegiance, and that is Zhu Ping'an.

Originally, Zhu Ping'an was still a little worried about the reward. Cao Wuxian these days, the looted treasure is a lot, but there is no place to cash in silver, the previous gambling house has long been closed because of the war, and now Fengyang is poor and white, the realization of things is indeed a headache, you can't take these antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, gold to buy things.

It's good now, the pie has fallen from the world, and it is right in Zhu Ping'an's head, how can Zhu Ping'an not be happy.

Zhu Ping'an instructed Hong Fatzi to take people to transport the gold back to the village for safekeeping, and then led the team to Fengyang, followed by Zhou Mian and Chen Yuanyuan on the way. For the rest of Zhou Mian's life after the catastrophe, his eyebrows naturally danced, and he was indeed well-informed, and he was so eloquent that he was dizzy with more than 100 brothers in the whole team.

On the contrary, it was Chen Yuanyuan, sitting in the carriage, but from time to time he raised the curtain and looked at Zhu Ping'an, who had been silent not far in front.

Listening to the soldiers around him, Chen Yuanyuan knew that this Zhu Baihu was only fifteen years old. Oh my God, at the age of fifteen, he became a hundred households, and he personally led the troops into battle, and broke the enemy army of 30,000 with more than 100 people, and saw the bloody package tied to the saddle, and heard that it was the head of the thief chieftain with a gust of wind!

What a hero!

The qiē in front of him made Chen Yuanyuan can't help but think of many heroes who can only be heard about in dramas. What Zhao Zilong, white horse and silver spear, seven in and seven out, gave up his life to savior; What Zhang Yide shouted, when the Yang River flowed backwards; What Guan Yun has long passed five levels, cut six generals, and rode alone for thousands of miles!

For a while, these heroes all became the embodiment of Zhu Ping'an. And those illusory heroes are far less real than the teenager in front of them. Thinking of the so-called young talents who pretended to be the best talents on the banks of the Qinhuai River, Chen Yuanyuan secretly compared them with Zhu Ping'an, and came to the conclusion that he wanted to vomit!

Chen Yuanyuan's hands wrung his handkerchief, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: "Young hero, nothing more than that!" ”

So, the girl's heart was inadvertently quietly plucked at the heartstrings.

A wisp of fresh breeze, through the curtain of the car window, drilled into Chen Yuanyuan's heart, like a spring breeze, sowing a seed and quietly spitting out tender shoots!
