That damn Li Xian, as he said before, was free to move around before the Taiping Army openly rebelled, but it was less than half a month after he arrived in Guangling, and that kid actually sent someone to send a letter to force him to rebel against the Taiping Army......

How to force?

The Taiping army had been hiding under the nose of the imperial court for more than 20 years, and if they could have been forced to rebel, why would the imperial court have gone earlier? Isn't it just that you can't force them to come out and show up!

Now you tell me to force the anti-Taiping army, it's simply difficult for a strong man!

Since the day after receiving Li Xian's letter, Xie An was still lying on the recliner in the courtyard basking in the sun, at this time he was not in the mood to think about Qin Ke'er, his mind was full of the tasks assigned to him by Li Xian, a task that seemed to him to be simply unreasonable.

The Taiping Army, a cancer hidden on the foundation of the Great Zhou, where is it difficult to entangle? Is it because of Chen Bei, a third-generation coach whose martial arts can be called unparalleled in the world? Or is it that the Taiping army has neat armor and sufficient food and grass?

The difficulty lies in the fact that the Taiping army never shows up and never confronts the Great Zhou court head-on, otherwise, it would have been wiped out by the court a long time ago, and he Xie An would still be needed to deal with it?

I have been hiding for more than 20 years and have not been forced out by the Great Zhou court, so you are telling me to force others to rebel now?

How to force? Can I still run to my uncle and ask him to start an army immediately? It's no wonder he didn't just detain me!

Xie An was really a little depressed, he knew very well that he had a good relationship with his brother-in-law Chen Bei, but once the Taiping Army was involved, Chen Bei would never show favoritism, at most he would spare his life and detain him until the situation in the Taiping Army stabilized.

How can you force the Taiping army to rebel? No, to be more precise, it should be said how to force the Taiping army to confront the 80,000 Liang army that he was about to arrive in Guangling!

According to Li Xian's estimate. Xie An knew that the Taiping Army now had almost 400,000 or 500,000 believers, not to mention the families and women, there should be almost 100,000 troops, and these 100,000 troops were distributed in various counties and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, in other words, as long as the Taiping Army dared to show its head, he Xie An would not have the resources to fight with the 80,000 Liang Army in his hands, of course. The premise is that the eldest brother Chen Bei had better not appear.

For his eldest brother Chen Bei, Xie An is still very weak-hearted, after all, outside the Hanhan Valley Pass, Xie An dispatched 30,000 or 40,000 troops, but he could not find any trace of Chen Bei. Seeing him come and go freely in the barracks of his 120,000-strong army, and even, if it weren't for Jin Ling'er, who is now his wife's room, desperately rescued him, Xie An, as the commander, would have died in the hands of his brother-in-law.

Please, please, God bless my eldest brother, it's best not to show up......

Although there was some suspicion of self-destruction, Xie An still secretly prayed, after all, if the eldest brother Chen Bei wanted to kidnap him Xie An. It was too easy, even if Xie An was hiding under the protection of the 80,000 Great Liang Army, Chen Bei would not have anything to do.

In the words of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Chen Bei is the only person in this world whom she admits that force is above strategy. To put it simply, even the eldest grandson Xiangyu thinks that there is nothing to be done about this person, which is a very high evaluation, and even Liangqiu Dance cannot get such an evaluation as the eldest grandson Xiangyu.

"Girl. Throw a few preserved fruits into my brother's mouth...... "When I opened my eyes, I saw that the little girl Wang Xin secretly ate the preserved fruits he placed on the table beside him. Xie An said lazily.

"Humph!" The little girl snorted heavily and glanced away with a cold face.

"Still angry?" Xie An looked at the little girl with some tears and laughter, since he spent a lot of money to redeem Qin Ke'er yesterday, the little girl was angry and hostile to him, and even didn't sneak to Xie An's couch to sleep with him last night, and stayed in her mother's bedroom for a night.

Of course, Xie An was very happy about this, after all, he really regarded Wang Xin as his godsister, but he didn't have any bad intentions, but he also knew that since the little girl didn't sneak up on his couch, it meant that this time she was really angry, and she was not angry.

"Hateful fellow, I don't want to pay attention to you!" The little girl said something angrily, chewing the preserved fruit in her mouth desperately, her sharp two little tiger teeth made Xie An feel a chill in his heart, after all, he had been bitten by her several times.

"Alas, a few days ago, my brother and brother were called, obviously the ground is so sweet, and what did you say about marrying my brother and I as a concubine, it's only been a few days, tsk tsk......" Xie An teased the little girl with a narrow face.

The little girl's face turned slightly red when she heard this, she bit her lip, and said indignantly, "Hmph, who told you to fall in love with that vixen and spend so much money to redeem that hateful woman......"

Thinking of this, the little girl couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved, it was a full two million taels of silver, and she couldn't earn this huge amount of silver by selling fruits for a lifetime, but this hateful guy in front of her was good, and he threw it out without blinking an eye......

obviously also said that he wanted to treat his mother's illness and take care of his mother and daughter for a lifetime......

With so much silver, how good is it to treat my mother's illness? Why ransom that hateful woman?

"I'm worth ten ......taels anyway," the little girl muttered indignantly.

Xie An was happy, he never expected the little girl to say this, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, he realized the dissatisfaction in the little girl's heart, isn't it, Xie An only gave the little girl ten taels at the beginning, but as soon as he changed hands, he spent two million taels to redeem Qin Keer, no wonder the little girl was unbalanced.

"What are you laughing at?" The little girl glared at Xie An with an aggrieved face, grabbed his arm, showed off two sharp little tiger teeth, and bit at Xie An's arm.

Xie An was caught off guard, and was bitten on the ground, so painful that he couldn't help but scold.

"Let it go...... No, loosen up, loosen up, don't you hear me, stupid girl! - I bit my brother to death, but no one spoils you......"

The second half of the sentence is obviously more effective than the first half of the sentence, and the little girl let go of her mouth and glared at Xie An with a look of grievance and anger.

"Okay, okay," blowing the two rows of tooth marks on the back of his hand, Xie An said angrily, "Didn't I explain it to you?" My brother ransomed that woman in order to lure out the Guangling Assassins, and those people are trying to harm your brother's life! ”

Wang Xin was stunned when she heard this, and asked cautiously, "Is that just the case?" Didn't my brother really fall in love with that woman and want her to be a concubine? ”

"Of course ......"

Xie An's voice just fell. Gou Gong next to him muttered intentionally or unintentionally, "Not necessarily! ”

"......" Xie An glanced at Gou Gong speechlessly, and was about to speak, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the angry little girl who pounced on her with her teeth and claws, and hurriedly resisted with her hand.

"Huh? Can your right hand move? The little girl froze, looking at Xie An's right hand against her head in surprise.

"Ah...... Don't move, it hurts! Xie An knocked on the door of the little girl's head with his left hand, and then moved his right hand.

At first, he thought that his right hand was broken like his legs, but he found out after Gou Gong's diagnosis. It was just a broken wrist, oh, and the bones in the arm looked like they were broken, but it wasn't serious, at least compared to breaking both legs.

[Talk less!] ]

Xie An glared at Gou Gong angrily. Gou Gong smiled slightly, just now he saw Xie An and Wang Xin's brother and sister playing funny, and just interjected a sentence in a casual voice, after all, he had been with Xie An for three years, and he knew Xie An's temper very well, and he would definitely not punish him for this kind of joke.

Suddenly, Gou Gong's complexion changed. Subconsciously looked at the courtyard gate, and at this moment, the wooden door of the courtyard gate was kicked open with a bang, and then. More than 20 men poured in, looking at the clothes, it was the local officials of Guangling City.

"Girl, stop making trouble!" gently patted Wang Xin's head. Xie An put away the joking look with his godsister, frowned and looked at the visitor.

And Wang Xin obviously realized that something bad might happen. A little panicked and leaned towards Xie An, after all, no matter how stupid she was, she could recognize that the twenty or so people were the officials in the Guangling Mansion, as a small citizen in the market, she could be afraid of the people in the official mansion.

Under Xie An's gaze, Deng Yuan, who had a conflict with him in Yingchun Tower yesterday, walked in with his hands behind his back, looked at Xie An with a proud expression, and said with a sneer, "Eldest grandson, we meet again!" - You're making it easy for Childe to find! ”

patting the little girl's right hand that was clutching his sleeve, Xie An calmed down a little, then raised his eyes to look at Deng Yuan, and said with a smile, "Yo, isn't this the son of the Deng family, the richest man in Guangling?" ――What are you doing? ”

"Humph! ――Don't pretend garlic for Childe, do you think that if you humiliate Childe like yesterday, Childe will let you go? Deng Yuan snorted heavily, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly, "What Gongzi said, offended me Deng Yuan, you don't want to leave Guangling unharmed!" - Li Yang, what are you waiting for? Take it down for me! The last sentence he said to a man in his thirties beside him, who seemed to be the leader of the gang of officials.

"Uncle Lee?" The little girl covered her mouth with her hands and exclaimed.

Uncle Lee?

Xie An was stunned and asked curiously, "Acquaintances? ”

The little girl nodded and whispered, "Uncle Li was a good friend of my father's life, and he served as a jailer in prison with my father...... After my father died, Uncle Li kept secretly giving me money and asked me to use the money to see a doctor for my mother, Uncle Li said, he was fine, he couldn't afford to provoke those who framed his father, so he could only help me like that, oh, by the way, Uncle Li was framed in the first place, and Uncle Li secretly told me in private......"

"Yes!" Xie An replied casually, looking at Li Yang, the head of the capital who was called Uncle Li by Wang Xin, with great interest.

Dutou, also known as the head catcher, is the deputy position of his boss county lieutenant, and is a small official in charge of anti-theft and murder in the county and county, and he barely squeezes into the ranks of the nine-rank and thirty-order.

Generally speaking, a small county has one county lieutenant and two or three large counties, and Guangling Mansion, as the capital of Guangling County, has three county lieutenants, and each county lieutenant has two or three heads under his hands, so that the head can be said to be the smallest official under the system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, of course, there are exceptions, such as the two spy agencies of the South and North Town Fu Si under Xie An, and Xiao Li, who holds the position of the head of the capital in the six doors of the South Town Fu Division, is on the sixth grade, which is almost equivalent to the county guard of some small counties.

Under Xie An's gaze, Li Yang also seemed to notice the little girl Wang Xin, a trace of consternation flashed in her eyes, and then the struggling on her face became more and more obvious, which made Xie An have a little good impression of this person, after all, this person still understands right and wrong.

But Deng Yuan, who noticed this, frowned, flashed a little displeasure, and said coldly, "Li Yang, if you say something from your son, do you dare to disobey?" ――Believe it or not, Gongzi immediately asked someone to rip off your official uniform? ”

Li Yang sighed secretly when he heard this, and took a few steps forward. He hugged his fist towards Xie An and said, "Li Yang, the head of the Guangling Mansion, now I suspect that the two of you have something to do with the Liukou, please go to the mansion with the head of the capital!" As he spoke, he pointed at Xie An and Gou Gong, and said in a deep voice, "Come on, take down these two!" ”

He deliberately ignored the little girl Wang Xin, obviously not wanting his friend's daughter to fall into this disaster. It's a pity that Wang Xin didn't do anything more, and when she saw that Uncle Li, who had always been close, wanted to call someone to arrest the hateful brother beside her, she was very anxious and shouted in amazement, "Uncle Li." Why are you arresting my brother? ”

This stupid girl!

Xie An shook his head secretly, and couldn't help thinking in his heart that the godsister he had accepted was really stupid, and he couldn't even see that Li Yang had the heart to protect her, but then again, Xie An was still very moved by Wang Xin's protection in front of him.

As Xie An guessed, Li Yang obviously wanted to shield Wang Xin, the daughter of an old friend. But now the little girl's shout caught him off guard.

"Oh? Or brother and sister? - Take it all together! Deng Yuan, who heard the little girl's shout, shouted coldly.

Looking at Wang Xin, the little girl who was guarding Xie An, Li Yang hesitated, turned around and said pleading to Deng Yuan. "Deng Gongzi, this woman is the daughter of Wang County Lieutenant, a local person, and she thinks that this matter has nothing to do with her. It's not as good as ......."

"Why not as good as what?" Deng Yuan's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily. "Childe told you to take it all together, didn't you hear?"

Li Yang was speechless, looking at Wang Xin's eyes with a little guilt, and was about to step forward, but heard Deng Yuan say again, "Wait! ”

Li Yang, who thought that Deng Yuan had changed his mind, looked overjoyed, and subconsciously turned his head, but saw Deng Yuan touch his chin, and said with a smile, "County Lieutenant Wang...... What are you talking about? - Hey, County Lieutenant Wang, that scapegoat really thought that he had been promoted to county lieutenant, and on the day he took office, he patted his chest and said that he wanted to punish evil and promote good, which is funny when he thinks about it...... This girl is Wang Wu's daughter? ”

A little anger flashed in Li Yang's eyes, and he disappeared in a flash, lowered his head, clenched his fists, but he didn't dare to attack because of Deng Yuan's power.

But Xie An didn't have any worries, seeing that the little girl Wang Xin heard Deng Yuan's piercing laughter, his eyes were red, his whole face sank completely, and after taking a deep look at Deng Yuan, he suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Deng Yuan frowned and asked.

"Laugh at you, you don't know whether you live or die! - Wait and look behind you! ”

Deng Yuan subconsciously turned his head when he heard this, and then his eyes shrank and trembled, because he noticed that he had a jet-black dagger around his neck at some point, and the owner of the dagger, a man dressed like an ordinary person, was glaring at him with a fierce face.

Not only him, but also more than 20 officials beside Deng Yuan, and a man with a dagger appeared behind everyone at some point, holding the dagger around their necks, and the officials who were stunned did not dare to move.

Only Li Yang was able to stand at the front and avoid the embarrassment of being added to the blade.

"Eldest Sun Wu, do you dare to attack the official?" Seeing the jet-black dagger hanging from his neck, Deng Yuan shouted in shock, compared to Fang Cai's domineering, his tone was full of horror at the moment.

"What kind of official are you?" Xie An sneered, patted the back of the little girl's hand lightly, secretly soothed her emotions, and then raised his hand to point at Deng Yuan, and said lightly, "Bring this kid over!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Deng Yuan felt that he was being pushed hard, stumbled and ran forward a few steps, and fell down in front of Xie An with a thud, and when he wanted to stand up, he suddenly felt something cold on his neck, and he didn't dare to move.

"Girl, pick up my brother!" commanded the little girl, and with the support of the little girl, Xie An sat up, looked condescendingly at Deng Yuan, who was forced to kneel in front of him, looked at him with a look of anger, and said with a sneer, "Deng Yuan, you have said several times that Gongzi can know your identity, so do you know Gongzi's identity?" ”

"Who do you care? - I advise you to let your son go, otherwise, when my brother-in-law learns, you won't be able to run away until one of them is heard! Deng Yuanse shouted inwardly.

"Palm!" Xie An closed his eyes and said lightly.

As soon as the words fell, I saw a Dongling assassin come out from behind Deng Yuan, raise his hand and slap Deng Yuan's right cheek, slapping him down one of his teeth, you can imagine this strength.

"You...... How dare you hit me? Spit out a mouthful of blood, Deng Yuan looked at Xie An in disbelief.

The Dongling assassin turned his head to look at Xie An, and saw that Xie An was lying back on the recliner with the support of the little girl Wang Xin, and suddenly realized in his heart, and slapped Deng Yuan a few times, only to slap the latter's cheeks swollen.

All this, Li Yang only looked stunned, and after reacting, he subconsciously wanted to pull out the saber at his waist, but suddenly a hand held down the hilt, and the strong force made it difficult for him to draw the knife.

"Don't make a mistake with your own step!" Looking at Li Yang with a smile, Gou Gong kindly reminded, "My son-in-law, it is definitely not something that you Guangling Mansion can afford, you go back to the mansion and ask Zhang Qi, the prefect of Guangling Mansion, to roll ......over quickly."

Li Yang was stunned when he heard this, and glanced at Xie An who was lying on the recliner leisurely in disbelief, and a trace of hesitation flashed on his face.

However, Gou Gong's words woke Deng Yuan up, his mouth was full of blood, and he scolded vaguely, "Li Yang, don't you go back to call someone?" - Tell my brother-in-law to bring in troops to arrest these damned thugs...... ......Before he could finish speaking, another slap from the Dongling assassin forced him to swallow the second half of the insult.

"It's okay, let's go!" Gou Gong said with a smile, he didn't care what Deng Yuan said, not to mention that with the identity of his family, Zhang Qigen, the prefect of Guangling Mansion, would not dare to offend, even if there was any event, at present, more than 200 Dongling and Jinling assassins in Guangling City were enough to turn the entire Guangling City upside down, not to mention that there was also his sworn third brother murderer [sickle] Mo Fei, even if Zhang Qi had any evil intentions, it would be easy to take him down.

"......" took a deep look at Gou Gongna's calm and calm face, Li Yang gritted his teeth, turned around and ran out of the hospital, and headed towards the Guangling Mansion.
