Chapter 11 The Four Evils of the Northern Eagle
"You kid, tell me honestly, what kind of person are you, are you from Hongyuan Dart Bureau?" Gu Chengping said impatiently.
"I'm just the buddy shop here, hehe, I just came out and I accidentally ran into you, really. And what kind of Hongyuan dart game are you talking about? I've never heard of it. Xingge said as far away as possible from Gu Chengping.
Seeing the young man in front of him, he found it weird, his bones were surprised, and he had a handsome and chic face, not at all like the identity of a shopkeeper, but his skin and mouth were not like scheming Jianghu people. Curious, Xiao Wei told them to let him go, and looked him up and down carefully.
"Little brother, you don't seem to be a local, do you? You still have such good skills, how can you be willing to be a mere shopkeeper to do chores for others?"
In the face of the other party's questioning, Xingge replied cautiously: "I am from a foreign country, a native of the Kali country, and grew up in a small tribe in the vast Mongolian steppe. My father is a businessman, and he often comes to your Qing Kingdom to do business, and I often come to the Central Plains to play. But because he ran out of entanglements, he couldn't keep up with his father's caravan, so he had to work here to earn some money. ”
"As for kung fu, because I'm in the Mongolian steppe, and the Mongols are a people on horseback, so it's a bit of a skill. However, I also often study Central Plains martial arts, so I will also have some fur of Central Plains martial arts. Xingge paused his thirsty lips and continued.
"I see. Little brother, go back, in addition, you have to remember that although you are not a Jianghu, but you meet us, it is equivalent to involving Jianghu. Walking the rivers and lakes, sometimes a little curiosity is good for yourself, but on the contrary, it will fulfill the evil from the mouth. ”
Hearing what their senior brother meant, Xingge responded wittily: "Yes, yes, I understand, I haven't seen anything, I haven't heard anything."
After speaking, with the promise of the senior brother, Xingge hurriedly ran away from their sight.
"Senior brother, let him go back like this? He's suspicious, just in case ......"
"It's okay, although this person is suspicious, he has no charlatanism, no disgust, and is a good person. And if he deliberately followed us, how could he expose himself so carelessly? Judging from his skill and steady and thick pace just now, this young man is a martial arts man, if he is targeting us, how can he be so exposed with such skills. "The elder brother who is experienced in reading people talks about the reasons for his liberation.
"Well, I hope so."
Seeing that the senior brother was full of confidence, everyone couldn't say anything, but they raised their vigilance on their own.
As a senior brother, Xiao Wei couldn't sleep at night, on the one hand, he was worried about the situation of Nangong's punishment, and on the other hand, he was worried about whether Zhang Hongyuan, who had not seen his master's corpse, was here?
I don't know that Xiaowei's doubts are slowly approaching, outside the city of Hangzhou......
The horse's hooves are rolling, the wind and dust are flying, a deafening fierce horse gallops at the first line pass of the Qiantang River, the "Hongyuan" dart flag is majestic and fluttering with the wind, a group of sturdy and burly northern men hold strange weapons, fiercely and viciously along the Qiantang River into the territory of Zhejiang Province, and drive straight into the prosperous and beautiful city of Hangzhou.
"Report, the man is dead, the sword is stained with blood, but there is no one in the house, and the person we are looking for is nowhere to be found."
"He's dead? Bloodstained ...... It seems that he finally used that trick, and it was not in vain to die under him, and bury our friends. A middle-aged man in the crowd in iron armor and holding a broadsword replied.
"Yes, the head of the dart!"
"Hongyuan" dart flag, that burly and majestic middle-aged man must be the famous Central Plains No. 1 dart game, Jingshi Hongyuan dart bureau chief dart head Zhang Hongyuan.
Zhang Hongyuan was deeply sorry to learn that the person sent out had died, but he was very uneasy that Nangong Dejing's body was not found.
So he ordered his capable subordinates, "Beiying is four evil, lead a small team of people to guard the four passages of Hangzhou City, and find that Nangong swordsmen are killed, Nangong Dejing wants to see people alive, and he wants to see corpses when he dies!" ”
"Order!"
The first four members of the horse team wore long flags and eagle feathers, brown wind robes, and their hands were covered with gloves made of sharp blades.
"It's about to be dawn, give the order to go down, get off the horse and enter the city and enter the Nangong Mansion to rectify and rest, and wait for the news of Nanao and the four evils."
"Yes, Chief."
All this was seen by Cheng Jinwu, the guard of Hangzhou, but he did not make a noise after seeing the flag of the "Hongyuan" dart game.
You must know that the Hongyuan Dart Bureau is a Hehe Dart Bureau of the Qing Dynasty, although it is not directly under the jurisdiction of the government and the imperial court, but after all, it was once the name of the dart given by Kangxi himself, and it is not something that can be offended casually. What's more, it is still a powerful force in the rivers and lakes, in case something is wrong, the officers and soldiers defending the city of Hangzhou will not be able to stop it for a while.
Cheng Jinwu, who was dutiful to his duties, saw them entering the city with weapons in the dust, murderous, and felt bad, so he hurried back to his mansion.
Cheng Jinwu rushed to the mansion non-stop and went straight to the guest room where he borrowed the mansion.
"General Li, general, the last general has something important to report!"
The general who was woken up in the dream pushed open the door of the room to meet him, and this general was General Li Junli, who was following Miss Ding to protect her.
"General Cheng, what's going on so late? Come in and say. ”
"I was on duty at the city gate tonight, and I found that the Hongyuan Dart Bureau in the capital entered the city with a large number of people armed with weapons."
"Hongyuan Dart Game? That's not surprising, escorting treasures or important materials for the government and merchants, and carrying weapons is also the privilege of the dart bureau, not to mention the approval of Kangxi. Li Junzhi didn't care when he heard it.
"However, I didn't see any of their vehicles, they came at a fast pace, and the key is that I also saw the rumored Northern Eagle Four Evils in the rivers and lakes."
Hearing the words "Northern Eagle Four Evils", Li Jun realized that something big had happened.
According to rumors, Zhang Hongyuan never easily dispatched the four evils. What's more, all the four evils are dispatched, and the rivers and lakes also have ears, and the four evils of the Northern Eagle are dispatched, and there is bound to be a bloody killing. Regardless of whether this is true or not, the North Eagle Four Evil Dispatch is a sensational event for Hongyuan Dart Bureau, and Zhang Hongyuan must also come to Hangzhou City. ”
"So what do we do? After all, they are from the rivers and lakes, if it is really for the grievances of the rivers and lakes, the Hongyuan Dart Bureau Brigade will be dispatched, and this Hangzhou City may be in chaos. ”
"Yes, although the troops in Hangzhou City are quite sufficient, it will be difficult to control the situation in the face of the elites of the rivers and lakes who are practicing martial arts skills, not to mention the duel with the other side, it will be even more difficult for us to control. I estimate that Zhang Hongyuan's action, as you guessed, resorting to force for the grievances of the rivers and lakes will not only cause chaos in Hangzhou, but I am afraid it will set off a bloody storm in the entire Jianghu martial arts! Li Jun worried.
"General, do we immediately report to the Governor and ask for reinforcements for the army just in case?"
"It is necessary to report, but the governor is now in the capital, and far water cannot quench the thirst of the near, so I will immediately repair the book and report to the governor. What we do next is the most important thing. ”
"I wish it would be arranged by the general!"
"Okay, General Cheng, you personally rush to Ningbo Mansion and inform the prefect Lord Wang to request the dispatch of troops to help, and be sure to explain the reason and importance."
"The last general obeys the order, then Hangzhou City will be handed over to the general."
"Well, if something big really happens in advance, I, Li Junding, will desperately support General Cheng's reinforcements." Li Jun saluted solemnly.
"Take care, General, I'm going!" After that, Cheng Jinwu ignored the fatigue and rushed to Ningbo with his official seal of the city guard.
