The Jiangbei Protector made Chen Zikun ride a tall horse under the escort of the guards and horses, and suddenly a hat jumper jumped out of the crowd, standing in the middle of the street and shouting: "Chen Zikun, take your life!" As he spoke, he drew two box cannons and fired his bows left and right.

Chen Zikun never dreamed that the bandits would be so bold and dare to enter the city to assassinate under such a tight wind, and it was too late to draw a gun, because he was wearing a general's uniform, and the pistol was hidden in a leather holster under the military uniform, but with his current status, he didn't need to do it himself.

The closest to Chen Zikun are the orderly soldiers Shuangxi and Qingfeng, the two of them compete with each other on weekdays to see who is the most loyal to the marshal, and today when they encounter the assassination, they are even more scrambling, and they pounce on them to block the bullets with their bodies.

Suddenly blood splashed, two orderlies were shot and fell to the ground, seeing his younger brother shot, the first battalion commander Chen Shou's eyes were red, he pulled out his gun and shot angrily, he was born a bandit, usually the box cannon is pinned to the belt with the nose wide open, the reaction time is the shortest, and at the same time other soldiers are still pulling the bolt.

Chen Shou's marksmanship was very accurate, and after a few shots, the assassin was splashed with blood, and he stumbled twice but did not fall.

Chen Zikun's war horse was frightened, his front hooves raised and neighed, if someone with a slightly worse equestrian skill was lifted off, he clamped the horse's belly and shouted: "Take the thief!" To live! ”

The soldiers swarmed up, the Assassins pulled their legs and left, and the people at the city gate were panicked and scurried like flies, and the soldiers could only watch as they disappeared into the alley.

This sudden scene frightened Hongyu's heart pounding, and she took a shortcut to go back in a panic, and when she passed through the back alley of Shanghai at night, suddenly a big hand dragged her to the base of the wall, the cold barrel of the gun pressed against her temple, and a strong smell of garlic came: "Nizi, don't shout, I won't hurt your life." ”

Hongyu was startled, but after all, she had mixed up in Shanghai, and she was quite bold, so she quickly calmed down, leaned over and said coquettishly: "Brother, if Nong wants money or people, Allah will give it to Nong." ”

The man gasped: "Lao Tzu doesn't want money or people, so he wants to find a place to avoid the limelight." ”

Hongyu squinted and looked, isn't this the man who assassinated the envoy at the city gate, the hat was removed, revealing a big bald head, thick eyebrows and big eyes are heroic, but the blood on his body is very terrifying.

"Big brother, have you been shot?" Hongyu couldn't help but touch the man's wounds.

The man stretched out his hand to block, but it was dark in front of him, and he collapsed to the ground, Hongyu saw that there was no one left and right, so he reached out to move the man, and he couldn't move half a minute, Hongyu was in a hurry, took off his high heels, and dragged the man into the back door of the night Shanghai with all his strength.

……

Chen Zikun was furious, in broad daylight, bandits actually infiltrated the county town to assassinate themselves, is there still Wang Fa! Although he only had a glimpse of it, he could recognize the assassin as the most daring elder Liang Maocai under Gai Longquan.

Chen Shou said that he had shot Liang Maocai at least twice, and the county town was closed with four gates, and he couldn't walk with his wings, Chen Zikun thought so, and ordered the county militia to search door to door, and if no one could be found, the city gate would not be opened, and the troops who were originally going to open the camp also returned to the barracks, and waited for the bandits to be eliminated before leaving.

Shuangxi and Qingfeng were both shot, but fortunately they were not injured and their lives were not in danger.

The militia searched the city for a day and a night, but they didn't even find a hair, but instead caused many gentry to jointly come to the office to complain, saying that the group was too disturbing to the people, and the four gates were closed, and the residents in the city could not be transported out every day, and the fresh vegetables outside the city could not be transported in, and the people's lives were greatly affected.

Chen Zikun was hesitating, suddenly a battalion commander hurriedly came, whispered a few words in his ear, he had a plan in his heart, and comforted the squires with good words, saying that they would search for two more days, and if they couldn't catch anyone, they would open the city gate, and the gentry would retreat only after they got a promise.

When these people left, Chen Zikun's face changed, and he asked Chen Shoudao: "Are you really a person who hides in Shanghai at night?" ”

Chen Shou swore and said: "Don't dare to talk nonsense under the mark, when I searched for the night in Shanghai just now, these girls looked wrong, and said that this is the handsome industry, and the brothers are not allowed to go in to search, I think there must be something, for fear that the grass will startle the snake and hurt the innocent, so I came to tell the handsome." ”

Chen Zikun stood up suddenly, and was just about to order the guards to be dispatched, when a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, thinking of the past when he was seriously injured and was taken in by Jianbing, the little ladies in Shanghai at night are well-informed, smart and clever, how can they be controlled by an injured country bandit, since ancient times, beauties love heroes, maybe which girl moved her heart.

He had an idea, thought about it, and said, "Send a few clever brothers to keep an eye on the vicinity of Shanghai at night, and report any situation immediately." ”

Chen Shou followed the order, and after two days, the assassin was still not found, but the city was already stinking, because the peasants who carried the toilet could not enter the city, and the feces of every household could not be handled, so they had to dump on the street, and the gentry went to the office again to complain, Chen Zikun was as good as a stream, and ordered to stop the search and open the city gate.

Chen Shou came to report again, saying that Hongyu in Shanghai at night had grabbed a few pairs of medicines in the Chinese medicine shop, all of which were for treating external injuries.

Chan told him not to act on his own, so as not to startle the snakes, and at the same time told him to gather his brothers and prepare the two Grusen mountain cannons.

Chen Shou rubbed his hands and said: "Use a knife to kill chickens, and don't use cannons to catch Liang Mao, I can do it alone." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Who said that I was going to arrest Liang Maocai, I will let you prepare guns and have your own opinions." ”

……

In Shanghai at night, in Hongyu's bedroom, Liang Mao, who had been asleep for three days, slowly opened his eyelids and looked at this magnificent room, the bed was a Western iron frame bed, covered with colorful brocade quilts hung with tents, there were Western paintings and chiming bells on the walls, blankets were spread on the ground, and there was a sweet and greasy smell in the air.

Suddenly, the door opened, Liang Mao subconsciously went to his waist to take out the gun, but he didn't touch the gun, but he touched the bandages wrapped around his body, which was within reach, and the pain was incomparable, and he remembered that he had been shot twice.

It was Hongyu who came in, she had just washed her hair, her hair was wet and hanging down, she was wearing a water-green satin cheongsam, holding a bowl of ginseng soup in her hand, she came over and sat in front of the bed with a smile and said, "Hero, drink some ginseng soup to replenish your body." ”

Liang Maocai said vigilantly: "Where is this?" Who are you? ”

Hongyu said: "This is Night Shanghai, my name is Hongyu, hero, what's your name?" ”

Liang Mao didn't answer, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, looking for his gun everywhere, and asked with a red jade cross-waist, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Where's Lao Tzu's gun!" Liang Maocai pushed Hongyu against the wall, grabbed her neck and asked, his eyes wide and terrifying.

Ruby burst into tears and coughed, "Let go, I'm going to suffocate to death." ”

Liang Maocai let go of his hand and said, "Where is my gun?" ”

Hongyu said: "You have no conscience, you have been asleep for three days and three nights, I helped you with feces and urine, bandaged wounds, and coped with the search of the group, you are good, you don't say thank you when you wake up, and you beat people." ”

Liang Maocai scratched the back of his head, suddenly took a step back, and knelt down and said: "I call Liang Maocai, I owe you a life, I have nothing to repay you, what, do you have any enemies, I will take care of it for you." ”

Hongyu ate again and said with a smile: "Wrongdoer, how can Allah have any enemies, now that the rumors have not passed, thank God for you to honestly recuperate your injuries and not cause trouble for Allah." ”

Liang Maocai said: "No, I have to go!" The cottage can't leave me. ”

Hongyu couldn't resist him, so she had to say: "Wrongdoer, I'm afraid of Nong, don't panic first, Allah will go out to explore the rumors." ”

Liang Mao thought about it, nodded and said, "Eldest sister, then please leave it to you." ”

Hongyu twisted her waist: "Didn't you call someone else's Nizi, why did you become the eldest sister again." ”

Liang Maocai scratched his head and didn't speak, his face flushed.

Hongyu smirked, twisted her ass and went out, and when she got downstairs, a group of girls surrounded her and asked nonsense.

"Sister Ruby, is Ira awake?"

"Sister Hongyu, how can you do it? That's a crime. ”

Hongyu said calmly: "It's okay, the wind will settle in two days, just send him out of the city, as long as the sisters keep their mouths shut, there will definitely be no leaks." ”

Someone giggled: "Sister Hongyu, has Nong taken a fancy to this kid, a strong man who is alive and well, borrow it at night and use it well?" ”

Hongyu took a sip: "Nonsense." But two red clouds flew on her face, in her more than ten years of Qinglou career, she had never had feelings for people, this time it was really surprising that she was so interested in an assassin.

Another day later, Chen Zikun led a battalion of troops to the north, and the wind in the city was obviously much looser, but there were still regiments guarding the city gate, and they had to check when they entered and exited the city.

A small sedan chair came to the south gate, and the guard group stopped him with a gun: "What are you doing, stop and check." ”

The sedan curtain was opened, and there were two girls sitting inside, one of whom was the red jade of Shanghai at night.

"The bosses are standing guard, my sister is sick, go out of the city to worship the Buddha and make a wish, please make it convenient." As he spoke, he handed over a cigarette.

Tuan Ding took the cigarette, stared at Hongyu's chest in a daze, couldn't wait to grab a handful, swallowed his saliva and said: "That's not good, the county magistrate has an order, those who go out of the city must be strictly investigated, I have to take a look." ”

Hongyujiao smiled: "Just look at it, and a piece of meat is indispensable." As he spoke, he rubbed his chest on Tuanding's arm.

Tuan Ding was so ape-hearted that he couldn't care about the other sick-looking girl in the sedan chair, and he was only released after some entanglement with Hongyu.

The sedan chair finally came out of the city gate, and Hongyu had palpitations in her heart, and whispered: "It's so dangerous." ”

Liang Maocai, who was wearing women's clothes with a face of fat powder, praised: "Nizi, you are so bold. After thinking about it, he hated and said: "That kid dares to tease you, I almost can't help but collapse him." ”

In his hands hidden behind his back, he held a box cannon with a large nose.

Hongyu said quietly: "Qinglou woman, it is common to be slighted, it's not a big deal." ”

Liang Maocai blushed and his neck was thick: "I won't be hit!" ”

Ruby smiled sadly and stopped talking.

The sedan chair went out of the city for two miles, stopped next to a forest, Liang Maocai had already changed into men's clothes, got off the sedan chair and said loudly: "Red jade girl, the green mountains do not change the green water for a long time, we will have a period later." ”

After that, he turned around and left, and then he didn't look back, the autumn wind blew, and the gloom was boundless.
