Under the sleepless attack of the Liang army for two days and two nights, the defending people's army finally could not withstand it. Seeing Gao Yingxiang and the reinforcements led by Huang Ziren did not return for a long time, Zhu Zijian, the king of Shunyi, took advantage of the night of the third day to escape from Hanzhong in a panic and went to Xi'an, wanting to join Gao Yingxiang and Huang Ziren's people's army.

Hanzhong City, Shun lĂŹ captured.

Xu Liang is still the first time to enter the city of Hanzhong, although Hanzhong has been war-torn for a long time, but the scale of the building is larger than that of Pingliang City, which should be comparable to Xi'an Mansion.

After the prefect yamen of Hanzhong Mansion was captured by Zhu Zijian, the king of Shunyi, as the palace of the king of Shunyi, it was very well protected, and there was almost no damage.

Wan Wenshan, the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Liang army, and Luo Rucai, the pioneer of the Liang army, were ordered to pursue and suppress the fleeing Shunyi king Zhu Zijian, and the deputy general of Pingliang Dai Feng led 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Hanzhong, while the fourth lady Li Ting, Shang Tianlong, Guo Tianxing and other three generals who surrendered, led more than 2,000 surrendered troops and began to capture other cities in Hanzhong Mansion.

Hong Chengchou, a member of the Shaanxi government, was busy looking for the Ming Dynasty officials who were still alive and hiding in various places, and before the official officials were formally appointed by the court, these officials would temporarily maintain the operation of the government.

And Xu Liang has been busy counting the gold, silver and jade items found from all over Hanzhong Mansion in the past two days. Looking at the account book presented by Luo Baiguan, the head of the Liang army, Xu Liang couldn't help frowning, "A dignified Hanzhong Mansion, the residence of King Shunyi." That's all the valuable toys you found? ”

Luo Baiguan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "My lord." That's all for the time being. Perhaps Zhu Zijian, the king of Shunyi, took most of the treasure when he fled Hanzhong. ”

Xu Liang looked at Luo Baiguan with dissatisfaction and said, "Manager Luo." You take the people, and then search carefully from house to house. I don't believe that Zhu Zijian is so poor, there must be some places that have been hidden and not searched. ”

Luo Baiguan was helpless, collected the account books, and went to arrange for people to search for money.

Xu Liang muttered to himself: "It seems that Zhu Zijian must have taken a lot of treasures with him when he escaped from the city!" Alas, I hope that Luo Xianfeng and Wan Camp Master can catch up with Zhu Zijian and kill him by the way. When the time comes, all the riches on him. It's all mine. ”

Xu Liang chuckled proudly.

Xu Liang had no interest in how to arrange the official offices of Hanzhong Mansion, and completely allowed Hong Chengchou to arrange it alone. Therefore, for a whole day, Hong was busy with politics, but Xu Liang drank tea leisurely under the big camphor tree in the backyard of the prefect's yamen.

After dinner, Xu Liang still hadn't seen Hong participate in politics and returned to the government, feeling that he was too sorry for Hong participating in politics when he was doing nothing on the side, so he wanted to go to find Hong in politics. Let's see if Xu Liang can help with anything.

Just as he was about to leave, a guard stepped forward to report, and the fourth lady Li Ting asked to see him.

The fourth lady seemed to be a little angry, and her face was calm. Footsteps pounded heavily on the brick floor. She is wearing a special women's armor, but she looks heroic.

"Lord Xu," Fourth Miss Li Tingqi snorted, "Although we are people who have surrendered to the court. But you can't be bullied! ”

Xu Liang stopped and looked at Fourth Miss Li Ting with a smile. "What's wrong?" he asked. Is there any general in the Liang army who can't open his eyes and collide with Miss Li? You sue the officer. After the official verifies, he will give Miss Four a satisfactory explanation. ”

At first, Xu Liang was worried that it would be inappropriate to give the fourth lady Li Ting, Shangtianlong, and Tianxing, but judging from the fact that these three people have actively recovered the states and counties of Hanzhong Prefecture in the past few days, the three of them are still very satisfied with Xu Liang.

To say that using the previous people's army to ambush the remaining people's army in various states and counties is several times better than the Liang army's direct attack on the past. The fourth lady and others conquered several cities one after another, and the surrendered civilian army actually had as many as 10,000 people, Xu Liang made Dai Feng select 5,000 people to enrich the Liang army, and there were more than 5,000 people left, temporarily assigned to the fourth lady, Shangtianlong, and Guotianxing, and were currently stationed not far from the Liang army camp.

The fourth lady blushed angrily, glared at Xu Liang and shouted, "Lord Xu is true to his word, and the generals of the Liang army are good to us." It's just that Hong Chengchou, who participated in politics in Shaanxi, didn't like to see the three of us very much, and every time he saw us, it was like we owed this old man tens of thousands of taels of silver. Now, without Xu Liang's consent, he went straight to the selection of soldiers in our battalion. It's so inattentive! ”

Xu Liang was taken aback and asked, "What did Lord Hong do when he came to your camp to select soldiers?" ”

The fourth lady snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Hong Chengchou said that he said that he would select some upright people to enrich the Xu Ya in various states and counties, act as government officials, and catch people quickly to maintain local law and order. ”

"Isn't that a nice thing?" Xu Liang said strangely, "Why do I think Fourth Miss seems to be so angry?" ”

"Can you not be angry?" The fourth lady clenched her fists and said indignantly: "If Hong Chengchou picks a few people at random, we won't have anything to say." But do you know how he picks people? He picked out almost all the people in our camp who were slightly literate and had good looks, and wanted to take them away. Hmph, there are only a few dozen people in our camp who can read and break words, if they are all taken away by Hong Chengchou, then how can we bring our team? Xu Liang, you follow me to stop him, it's too late, I'm worried that they will fight! ”

"Huh? Fighting? Who's with whom? Xu Liang asked.

The fourth lady was anxious on her face, and said: "Shangtianlong, Guotianxing is in the camp and Hong Chengchou is consuming, Hong Chengchou wants to take people away, Shangtianlong and Guotianxing will not agree to live or die......"

When Xu Liang heard this, he was also anxious, Shangtianlong and Guo Tianxing originally had no good impression of Hong participating in politics, if the two of them had a conflict at this time, with the temper of the two, there was really a possibility of a big fight!

Xu Liang and Fourth Lady Li Ting hurriedly rushed towards the direction of the Liang army's camp. By this time, it was already dark, and there were a few lights on and off along the road, which was the shops along the street still opening with their lamps open.

The camp of the Liang army is not too far from the yamen of the prefect of Hanzhong Prefecture, and if you walk, it will take you a quarter of an hour.

Li Ting brought two of his subordinates. Xu Liang took four Tsing Yi guards out of the prefect's yamen.

A group of eight people hurried in the direction of the camp, walking through a street. Xu Liang suddenly stopped abruptly.

Li Ting was in a hurry, and when he saw this, he hurriedly stopped beside Xu Liang. "Why don't you leave?" ”

"Shhhh Listen carefully! Xu Liang said softly.

Li Ting pricked up his ears and listened, at this time several people were in a spacious street, the cold wind was blowing in the sky, several customers in the hotel along the street were drinking and guessing boxing, on the street, from time to time there were people with various materials walking past several people, on the eaves of a three-room building, an old crow was croaking. The screams are unpleasant.

Fourth Miss Li Ting looked at Xu Liang in confusion, "What do you want me to listen to?" ”

Xu Liang got up, looked back behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Footsteps." ”

Li Ting was even more confused, narrowed his eyes, listened attentively and carefully, and still didn't understand what was so special about the footsteps.

was about to ask Xu Liang clearly, but before he could speak, Xu Liang said, "Don't listen." You can see it! ”

Li Ting was even more confused, and looked at Xu Liang's gaze, and saw four carefully guarded Tsing Yi guards.

The expressions of Xu Liang and Li Ting made the four Tsing Yi guards also beat a small drum in their hearts. They looked at each other nervously.

There's nothing wrong with that. The four Tsing Yi guards couldn't help but think.

Suddenly, one of the personal soldiers brought by the fourth lady Li Ting exclaimed: "What about Du San? Where did Du San go? ...... who was with me just now."

Li Ting and the four Tsing Yi guards finally understood what Xu Liang meant. When they came out of the yamen of the prefect of Hanzhong Prefecture, there were four guards. Two pro-soldiers, plus Xu Liang and Li Ting. Originally, it was eight people, and at this time. There were only seven people standing together. Another of Li Ting's personal soldiers, the guy named Du San, disappeared at some point.

With a bang, the four Tsing Yi guards were also unsheathed, and the arch guards were circulating in Xu Liang, looking around vigilantly.

Li Ting was also a little nervous in his heart, clenched the matching sword in his hand, and asked the pro-soldier, "When did Du San disappear?" ”

The soldier cried and mourned, shook his head and said, "My subordinates don't know." We were in such a hurry just now, I feel that Du San should be with us......"

Li Ting listened and asked Xu Liang, "What should I do?" Lord Xu. ”

Xu Liang's first feeling was that he had encountered a powerful killer. Xu Liang and his party hurriedly crossed the street just now, if it weren't for Xu Liang's practice of the Great Prajna Exercises, his facial senses would have become more and more sensitive, and even he wouldn't have heard the sound from the footsteps of the group walking around, and the footsteps were missing one person.

If this pro-soldier was killed by a killer who was following behind Xu Liang, then this killer's kung fu must be very high, and he could quietly eliminate a pro-soldier without arousing Xu Liang's vigilance, and this kung fu alone had already made Xu Liang tremble.

Xu Liang thought that this place was still some way away from the Liang army camp, but it was closer to the prefect's yamen. So he said in a deep voice: "Pay attention to your vigilance and return to the prefect's yamen along the road." ”

The four guards and the surviving personal soldier drew their swords out of their sheaths, guarded Xu Liang and Li Ting, and walked back cautiously.

This frame frightened the people walking on the street, and they avoided one after another, and when they saw Xu Liang and others from a distance, they also took a detour.

The group walked back slowly, and when they passed through a small alley at the corner of the street, the two guards who were walking in front suddenly raised their hands to warn. Xu Liang's heart tightened, his eyes looked in the direction pointed by the guards, and he couldn't help but gasp, only to see that in the alley, on the corner of the wall less than five meters away from the street, a person was lying in a pool of blood, and there was a blood hole in his neck, which was still slowly dripping blood.

Li Ting's personal soldiers exclaimed: "It's Du San! He was killed?! ”

Xu Liang and Li Ting looked at each other, and they both saw a look of horror in their respective eyes. Xu Liang decisively shouted at the guards: "Send out the arrow for help!" ”

When a Tsing Yi guard heard this, he took out an arrow-like thing from his arms, put it in the arm groove on his arm, and shot it into the sky.

Woo! The specially made arrows rushed into the sky with a sharp sound, and after flying high into the air, the arrows suddenly exploded, lighting up a cloud of red smoke.

When everyone was still looking up at the red smoke, Xu Liang suddenly had an alarm, turned around suddenly, and heard a short and rapid whistling, a cold light almost flashed against Xu Liang's cheek, and then a Tsing Yi guard guarding Xu Liang's side let out a miserable scream, fell on his back, and a small knife about five inches long was inserted in his forehead, and the blade was almost completely cut in, only looking at a small handle.

"There are assassins!" Tsing Yiwei reacted quickly, facing the direction from which the knife was shot, blocking Xu Liang behind him.

On the second floor of the street, a black shadow holding a soft sword rushed towards the guards like a wild goose.

"Protect your lordship!" The guards roared and slew at the man in black.

The figure in black is weird, extremely fast, with Xu Liang's current eyesight, he can only vaguely see the long sword in the hand of the man in black, Xu Liang came out in a hurry this time, and he didn't carry weapons with him, but the guards around Xu Liang are all carefully selected warriors from the Liang army, and their kung fu is not weak.

The three guards fought with the man in black, Li Ting stood beside Xu Liang, looked at the battle situation nervously, and said: "Lord Xu, it seems that it is not safe to be a big person, someone will come to take your life at any time." ”

Xu Liang stared at the scene and listened to the battle, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that there would really be an assassin who wanted to kill me." ”

At this time, a guard in the field screamed, his right arm was almost completely chopped off by the man in black, fell to the side, sweated profusely, and shouted at Xu Liang: "My lord, go quickly!" ”

"!" Xu Liang cursed, the martial arts of the man in black were strong, which greatly surprised Xu Liang, Xu Liang did not hesitate, turned around and fled in the direction of the prefect's yamen.

Seeing this, Li Ting fled after him.

The man in black in the grappling let out a cold snort of disdain.

Xu Liang ran for more than fifty steps, and heard two muffled snorts one after another, and then heard another scream, which was a miserable scream from Li Ting's personal soldier who followed the fleeing.

There was a reprimand, and the sound of swords clashing sounded. Xu Liang looked back, but it was the fourth lady Li Ting, who was following behind him, saw that the man in black was chasing after him like a wild goose, and seeing that he couldn't escape, he reflexively drew his sword and fought against the man in black with a few swords, but it was only three or five moves ago, Li Ting screamed in pain, covered his waist with his hand, and fell to the side of the road.

The man in black didn't look at Li Ting, the fourth lady who fell to the ground, and between a few ups and downs, he jumped in front of Xu Liang and stopped in front.

Xu Liang paused and looked at the man in black nervously.

"Lord Xu, you can't run away!" The man in black said in a cold voice, his tone full of resentment and pride.

Xu Liang asked, "Who sent you to kill this official?" ”

The man in black sneered: "The dying man, there is no need to know so clearly. ”

Xu Liang took a few steps back, distanced himself from the man in black, shook his head and said, "You are too confident!" Listen, the officer's rescue will arrive soon! ”

At both ends of the street, there were heavy and hurried footsteps, although the people from the prefect's yamen and the Liang army camp received the distress signal from Xu Liang and rushed over to reinforce them.

The man in black was indifferent to Xu Liang's retreating movements, he let out a series of strange laughs, raised his long sword, pointed at Xu Liang and said, "Don't waste your time, even if your reinforcements arrive, it will be easy for me to kill you!" Xu Liang, take your life! (To be continued......)
