In the past two days, the people of Guangling felt quite puzzled, and they found that the prefect of their Guangling Mansion seemed to have changed recently, changing the previous connivance of turning a blind eye to the security in the city, and severely cracking down on the ruffians in the city and the illegal competition among the merchants.

As Gou Gong said, where did the people of Guangling City know the reason for this incident, and they thought that their prefect had suddenly changed his temper.

I have to say that since Zhang Qi beheaded Deng Yi, Deng Yuan's father and son, and the head of the family and the main accomplice who besieged and framed the Su family in Shili Hetang back then, Zhang Qi's prestige in Guangling City is in full swing, if it weren't for Xie Anlai, he didn't plan to cross the river and demolish the bridge and get rid of this Zhang Qi, otherwise, he would be like lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot this time.

"Although the adult's methods are clever this time, he can be seen in his humble position, if the second master and mother are here, there must still be a rhetoric ......" In the private room of the east wing of the inner courtyard of the Guangling Mansion, Gou Gong glanced at the woman who was stroking the qin not far away, and mentioned the eldest grandson Xiangyu without leaving a trace.

Qin Keer......

Gou Gong remembered that this woman was the day after her lord revealed her identity to Zhang Qi, the prefect of Guangling, and sent Xiao Li to the Yingchun Tower in the city, sent the million taels of silver owed, and took the woman over.

It is undeniable that Qin Keer is indeed a stunner, with a appearance that is not inferior to Changsun Xiangyu, and at the same time proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, what is even more rare is that her personality is much better than that of Changsun Xiangyu, it can be said that she has no temper at all, and she is obedient to Xie An, who bought her whole person with a lot of money, and it is said that this woman has been sleeping next to her own adult for the past two nights.

Gou Gong didn't know the specific thing, but he knew that the little girl Wang Xin had been very jealous in the past two days, and she might have seen something.

For Qin Ke'er, a gentle woman with a personality close to Yiyi. Gou Gong could sense that something was wrong, you must know that since the day they beat their lord, he deliberately wanted to accept this woman as a forbidden person, he secretly asked someone to probe the details of this woman, but what made him frown was that Qin Ke'er's identity seemed to be quite innocent and unstained.

Are you kidding! The third lady, who also enjoys a prestigious reputation in Jiangnan, [Ghost Queen] Jin Ling'er, is famous in Jinling, and countless people have died in her hands. His murderous reputation has even spread throughout the vast area south of the Yangtze River, but this Qin Ke'er can be innocent and alone, and Gou Gong doesn't believe anything.

Because of this, although no information has been verified, Gou Gong is deeply suspicious of this woman. It's just that because of his own lord Xie An's love for her, he hid it in his heart and didn't show it, but even so, Gou Gong would still mention the eldest lady Liang Qiuwu, the second lady eldest grandson Xiangyu and the third lady Jin Ling'er once he had the opportunity to suppress Qin Ke'er's somewhat presumptuous behavior in his opinion, although Qin Ke'er didn't actually do anything.

"Xiangyu, ......" Seeing that Gou Gong mentioned his second wife, the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Xie An was stunned. nodded, chuckled and said, "That's what I said, if you let Xiangyu deal with it this time." I'm afraid that Zhang Qi will not escape death......"

Xie An didn't think too much about it, and thought that Gou Gong was just talking about things, in his opinion, his methods this time were indeed somewhat similar to the approach of the eldest grandson Xiangyu. After all, although the latter is familiar with this kind of thing, he never gets his hands dirty. Every time he pretends to borrow manpower, there is no doubt that if it is the eldest grandson Xiangyu, this time he must first use Zhang Qi, the prefect of Guangling Mansion, to kill Deng Yi and Deng Yuan, stay for a few days, and then move out of the old things, so as to get rid of Zhang Qi, so as to achieve her so-called consummation.

I have to say that sometimes even Xie An was a little shocked by the cold-bloodedness and black belly of his wife's eldest grandson Xiangyu, every time he thought of something similar, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he had married this woman, once such a scheming woman became an enemy, the consequences were unimaginable.

That woman is a natural conspirator, don't look at her husband Xie An in front of her seemingly well-behaved appearance, but her bones are soaked with something chilling, which is extremely inconsistent with her identity as the daughter of a famous family.

"Maybe the government hasn't learned from Xiangyu yet......" Xie An summed up his words with a self-deprecation, in fact, his trick of killing people with a knife was indeed taught by the eldest grandson Xiangyu himself, after all, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, just as Liang Qiuwu has always hoped that Xie An can practice martial arts with her, the eldest grandson Xiangyu also has a similar desire for her husband Jackie Chan, and he painstakingly taught Xie An the means and experience in terms of power and strategy, I have to say that some of these things, even Xie An can't help but feel cold.

"What did the lord say," Seeing that his lord seemed to have misunderstood, Gou Gong hurriedly explained, "From the humble point of view, this time the lord spared Zhang Qi, and he is open-minded...... Anyway, that Zhang Qi didn't dare to have any objections, and it was not impossible to ......leave this person with a small life, "Because of the existence of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Gou Gong's compliments seemed a little vague and pale, after all, he didn't dare to belittle the eldest grandson Xiangyu while complimenting Xie An, that woman, but she was very vindictive.

"Hmm......" Xie An nodded in response.

Don't look at him this time, he seems to be ruthless, pretending to kill a large number of people with Zhang Qi's hands, but in fact, he still has a face, at least, he only killed the heads and accomplices of those families in Guangling City, and did not kill them all, leaving a way for the family members in those people's homes to survive, this is also where Gou Gong secretly praised Xie An, after all, if he is replaced by the eldest grandson Xiangyu, it must be to eradicate the grass and eradicate the roots, so as to prevent future troubles, this woman did not hesitate to use the 80,000 people of Gaoyang as bait in order to design the 100,000 Beirong, What is it to kill some rich people in Guangling Mansion?

Compared with her, she can be regarded as a mercy, anyway, there is that Zhang Qi who carries the black pot for herself, even if those orphans and widows don't know their kindness, they can't take revenge on themselves in the future, after all, the prison officer is not himself.

Thinking of this, Xie An'an put his arms around Qin Ke'er calmly, and secretly rubbed her waist while the latter was ready to greet her.

"Master......" Qin Ke'er whispered shyly, and Xie An couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Just when Xie An couldn't help but want to stroke the chaotic hand on the waist of the beauty beside him, he suddenly heard a cold snort mixed with heavy resentment, and when he turned his head, he saw the little girl Wang Xin pouting and staring at his hand on Qin Ke'er's waist, and after noticing Xie An's gaze, he glared at Xie An fiercely. Eating the preserved fruit spontaneously and ruthlessly, Xie An couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

The little girl is jealous, and the jealousy is not small, Xie An doesn't know about this, but he doesn't want to pay attention to it, after all, he treats the little girl as a sister, but he didn't think about what to do to her, the little girl walks around him every day, and he has to sleep at night. This really made Xie An feel a little headache, he knew his temperament, he didn't know when he would be horny, in case one of them couldn't hold it and ate the little girl, it would be regretful. After all, the little girl has not yet figured out the difference between the relationship between husband and wife and the relationship between brother and sister.

Well, that's fine, so that this stupid girl doesn't have to think all day......

Secretly comforting himself, Xie An suddenly thought of something, raised his head and said to Gou Gong, "That's right, Gou Gong." Ding Qiu has been going to Yangzhou for five days, right? ”

"......" glanced at Qin Ke'er beside his adult with some concern, to be honest, Gou Gong really didn't want to talk about business in front of this woman who didn't know the details, but since his own adult mentioned it, he couldn't turn a blind eye. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Yes, my lord, count the days." Ding Qiu should have arrived in Yangzhou a long time ago, as for when those soldiers and horses arrived in Guangling. I think that the six-day deadline mentioned by the adults is probably a bit hasty...... The Great Liang army is mainly based on infantry bows, and there are very few cavalry, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to reach Guangling from Yangzhou in just a few days, and I am afraid that it will take five ......days at the earliest."

"Hmm!" Xie An nodded when he heard this, in fact, he also knew that he was too harsh on Ding Qiu's orders, saying that it was impossible to ask the 80,000 Liang troops stationed in Yangzhou to rush to Guangling within six days, and it was relatively fast to arrive within fifteen days.

"In any case, as soon as the Great Liang Army arrives, I will cross the river to Jinling, and the matter here will be handed over to that Zhang Qi, the government has already beaten him, and he doesn't dare to be perfunctory when he thinks about it, not to mention that Li Yang is ......."

"Yes!" Gou Gong nodded and said, "A few days ago, according to what the lord said, he asked people to go to the riverside ferry to gather boatmen and prepare for the boats to cross the river, but the boats needed by tens of thousands of troops will take some time......

"Well, as soon as possible! - By the way, is there any news for the Guangling Assassins? ”

Subconsciously glancing at Qin Ke'er beside Xie An, Gou Gong shook his head and said, "So far, there is no whereabouts of the Guangling assassin, and I don't know if he has secretly escaped from the Guangling ......."

"That's ......" Xie An muttered, turned to Qin Ke'er and asked with a smile, "Ke'er, do you have any news of the Guangling assassin?" ”

Because Qin Ke'er has been redeemed from the Yingchun Building, in other words, Qin Ke'er is no different from his slave, so Xie An's current address to her seems more casual, of course, no matter what, Qin Ke'er is now considered a good person, and then calling her by the brand name she used when she was in the Qinglou seems disrespectful.

Guangling Assassin ......

Does this person remember this stubble?

Qin Ke'er smiled bitterly in her heart, but she also understood that with Xie An's character of retribution, how could she easily let go of the Guangling assassin, after all, the Guangling assassin had wanted to harm his life before.

And what made her feel secretly bad was that Xie An didn't seem to know that there were actually two groups of people in the Guangling Assassin Pavilion, one group was naturally led by Wan Li and Zhou Dong, and they did everything as long as they made money on weekdays, and the other group was the women under her Qin Ke'er, who made a living purely by selling precious information to some forces in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and had never done anything harmful, after all, whether it was her or the women under her hands, most of them were weak women who did not know martial arts, and occasionally a few would embroider their legs, I'm afraid I can't beat ordinary men, but now Xie An seems to have the intention of completely overturning the Guangling Assassin's ship with a stick, Qin Ke'er can't help but have a headache, and what's worse, she can't clearly explain this to Xie An, after all, once she speaks, it will reveal her identity as a member of the Guangling Assassins, and even, I'm afraid that even her fornication with the Taiping Army will be exposed.

Thinking of this, Qin Ke'er's beautiful eyes turned, shook his head, and pretended to be low, "Earlier, Na Wanli would send someone to contact the slave, but since the day the master ransomed the slave in the Yingchun Building, Na Wanli has never sent anyone over again......"

"That's right," Xie An frowned when he heard this, and said with some regret, "That's it, let's ignore those Guangling assassins for the time being...... Gou Gong. Do you remember to leave a few henchmen in Guangling to track down the whereabouts of the Guangling Assassin for the government, once their whereabouts are discovered...... You know what to do! ”

Gou Gong smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I understand!" ”

Hearing this, Qin Ke'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, she was really a little worried that Xie An would hold a grudge, and after the 80,000 Liang army arrived in Guangling, she asked those people to search the city for the whereabouts of Wan Li and others. In all fairness, Qin Ke'er was originally dissatisfied with the actions of Wan Li and others, if Wan Li died, Qin Ke'er would not only not have the slightest sorrow, but might even wave his hands and say goodbye. But the problem is, if Na Wan Li testified that she was also a member of the Guangling Assassins, Qin Ke'er's situation would undoubtedly become extremely embarrassing and embarrassing.

Fortunately, at this time, Xie An was worried about the task assigned by Li Xian, and he would transfer the 80,000 Liang army to the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible, forcing the Taiping army to raise troops in a hurry, and he had no time to pay attention to the Guangling assassins led by Wan Li, although he wanted to kill them all.

For those who are hostile to him. Xie An has never been polite, not to mention that the other party wants to kill him, how can Xie An spare them? It is necessary to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!

Anyway, Xie An still cares about his little life.

Two days later. To Xie An and Gou Gong's surprise, Ding Qiu took the lead in rushing to Guangling with 20,000 Liang army vanguards, and according to him, the remaining 60,000 troops were still about a day and a half away. Although this was beyond the six-day deadline mentioned by Xie An, he was able to arrive in Yangzhou in just eight days to report the news, and then took 20,000 Liang troops from Yangzhou to Guangling first. I have to say that whether it is Ding Qiu or those Liang Jun, they have obviously done their best.

Because of this, although the deadline was missed, Xie An did not punish them, but instead ordered the whole army to take credit for everyone on this trip, after all, according to Ding Qiu, they were in a hurry day and night this time, and they arrived in Guangling day and night, which was extremely hard.

To tell the truth, although a considerable part of the 80,000 Liang army was the surrendered army recovered by Xie An and Li Shou when they pacified the western border, they came to thank Xie An, after all, it was Xie An who exempted them from the felony of treason, so after hearing Xie An's call, these people rushed to Guangling, they were already exhausted, and even some of them would inevitably complain, but when Xie An's order to reward the three armies was issued, the morale of the whole army was suddenly boiling, after all, Xie An assured them that after this war, Any soldier in the army will have an increase of 100 taels or even more than the original salary, reward, and bereavement pension.

One hundred taels, for the soldiers in the army, that is an unexpected huge amount of money, after all, the military salary of the Jizhou soldiers is only about thirty-five taels per month, and the military salary of the Daliang army is lower because of the local price of Daliang, only about twenty taels, in other words, the reward silver added by Xie An is enough to be worth their military salary for half a month.

It's just that from the rapid march of Yangzhou to Guangling, he got a full half a year's military salary, and the 80,000 Liang army will have half a complaint.

On June 3, the fourth year of the Great Zhou Jingzhi, the 60,000 Liang troops also arrived in Guangling, and the Guangling assassins that Xie An wanted to eliminate have not had the slightest news so far, seeing this, Xie An was too lazy to waste money with the Guangling assassins, and led as many as 80,000 Liang troops across the Yangtze River.

A full 80,000 troops crossed the Yangtze River, and there was no need to guess that the Taiping army would inevitably notice that something was wrong.

Also, if the Taiping army can't even notice this kind of thing, what resources do they have to oppose the Great Zhou court, and what else do they say about overthrowing the Zhou State, restoring the Southern Tang Dynasty, and disbanding as soon as possible and returning to their hometown to farm.

I have to say that Rao is leading the 80,000 Liang army, to be honest, Xie Anxin is also a little uneasy, after all, south of the Yangtze River is an area where the Taiping Army has extremely frequent activities, and looking at the people of Jiangnan who are looking at the army with strange eyes, Xie An looks at these people like the Taiping Army, after all, the eyes of those people are too weird.

However, Xie An also knew that in the area south of the Yangtze River, it was not only the Taiping army who treated them like that, and the massacre of Li Ji, the former emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, made most of the people in Jiangnan deeply hostile to the Great Zhou army, which made Xie An inexplicably feel like a soldier.

Jinling City was the first choice for Xie An to settle in after crossing the river.

First, Jinling is the territory of the Jinling people, the Jinling people here are the same as the Guangling assassins in Guangling, the underground power is extremely powerful, although [Ghost Ji] Jin Ling'er married to Jijing Xie An's Mansion and did not appear in Jinling for more than three years, but the prestige of the Jinling people for this is still in full swing, so it is not difficult to guess that Jin Ling'er, the underworld sister in the Jinling area of the south of the Yangtze River, was so famous back then.

Second, Jinling is the first county-level city that Xie An encountered after crossing the river from near Guangling, although it has suffered many wars here, but because of this, the city wall of Jinling can be called as a fortress, if Xie An does not take here, regardless of the troops stationed in the city, he really does not dare to rashly go deep into the belly of Jiangnan, after all, if he does not completely master Jinling, once he leads the army to leave, the Taiping army suddenly attacked, captured Jinling, then Xie An's 80,000 Liang army is completely wrapped in the pocket called Jiangnan, At that time, the Taiping army cut off the grain route from Xie An's Guangling to Jinling, and I am afraid that if there is no need to fight, most of the 80,000 Liang troops under Xie An's command will starve to death.

Because of these two points, Xie An regarded Jinling as a city that must be firmly in his hands, but to be honest, he didn't want to go to this city at all, don't look at Jin Ling'er, who was born in Jinling, is obedient to him and has a strong affection, don't look at the people of Jinling who are obedient to him, but Jinling is always the city that the Great Zhou army slaughtered back then, and Xie An can imagine that when he leads 80,000 Liang troops into the city, he will be scolded and blinded by many people in the city.

Being scolded by one or two people pointing at his backbone, Xie An didn't care, but being scolded by more than 100,000 people, I am afraid that a cheeky person like Xie An will not be able to bear it.

But what made Xie An even more worried was that until he led 80,000 Liang troops to enter Jinling, there was still no movement on the part of the Taiping army......

In other words, there has been no movement yet.
