Hejiazhuang at night was very quiet, Zhao Feng and Zhao Long slept early, and there were only a few adults in the room who talked in low voices, and suddenly, Zhao Jin tilted his head, and at the same time, Mu Shulan also subconsciously shook her head, only Xu Zhenzhen did not react.

At the same time, I heard someone knocking on the door outside, three fast and one slow, but it was the signal agreed with Niu Jinbao, at this time, the maid and the woman were outside, and there was only Zhao Jin's family in the house.

Zhao Jin waved his hand, Mu Shulan immediately didn't dare to make a sound, Xu Zhenzhen was stunned, and then understood that Zhao Jin had already stood up, reached out and grabbed a short knife and walked quickly to the door.

"What's the matter?"

"Master, there's a commotion outside, something is wrong." Niu Jinbao replied in a deep voice outside the house.

Zhao Jin turned around and signaled, Mu Shulan ran over quickly, Zhao Jin opened the door here, Mu Shulan closed the door, and stood in front of the door with an extra dagger in her hand.

Xu Zhenzhen covered her mouth, she had also seen the world, but at this time, she was also frightened, so she could only cover her mouth so that she didn't shout, while Mu Shulan responded calmly.

Standing in the courtyard, Zhao Jin could already hear several noises, and the noise was approaching his own side.

"If you are careless, people must be mixed in those guys" Zhao Jin said in a sullen voice, Hejiazhuang is heavily guarded, and only those foreign merchants are loosely controlled

"Master, there are nearly 200 guards inside and outside this house, and the horse team of the big battalion in a stick of incense can rush over, and nothing will go wrong, in order to be foolproof, the master will prepare first." Niu Jinbao said in a deep voice, he already had a weapon in his hand, and Sun Dalin, who was wearing armor, walked over quickly with a simple knife.

Zhao Jin nodded, turned around and returned to the house, Mu Shulan was just about to ask, Zhao Jin said in a deep voice: "You take the children to the cellar first, don't be in a hurry to go out, and wait for the news to be confirmed before moving." ”

Mu Shulan also knew that this was not the time to ask, nodded and ran back quickly, and said a few words to Xu Zhenzhen, Xu Zhenzhen's face immediately turned pale, and she got up and said to this side, "Husband, be careful." ”

Zhao Jin just waved his hand vigorously to urge, Xu Zhenzhen glanced at it, and didn't say much, and immediately entered the bedroom with Mu Shulan holding a child alone, and heard a few sounds of the machine bracket rotating shaft, and then quieted down, but the secret passage of this house was not newly dug, but the original facilities of Hejiazhuang were used to make changes, Zhao Jin thought that this thing would not be used, and he never thought that it would come in handy today.

"Help me put on my armor." When I returned to the courtyard, there were already more than a dozen family members in the courtyard, all of whom were the most reliable cronies.

As soon as Zhao Jin spoke, someone immediately took out the armor from the chamber and hung it for him, and someone took out a spear, Zhao Jin looked at it and said, "The spear is ready, bring a six-foot halberd." ”

Battles are estimated to be born in the courtyards of the streets and alleys, and in such an environment, it is inconvenient to use spears for battle formations of eleven feet or even longer.

"Go out and have a look."

"Master, now that the streets are chaotic, it's safest to stay here." Niu Jinbao hurriedly said.

"Joke, it's not safe to separate inside and outside in this courtyard, I want to see what kind of thief it is, dare to come to my side to die" Zhao Jin was already angry with his words, he actually let the enemy touch such a close distance, and let his wife and children go to the tunnel to hide, it was really looking for death.

But his judgment is not wrong, the space in this courtyard is narrow, and there is a wall to cut off the outside, if there is really something urgent, the inside and outside really can't take care of each other for a while, that is a big trouble.

Zhao Jin made a decision, and the family members obeyed the order, Zhao Jin arranged for Sun Dalin and the five family members to stay here, and he took people out of the courtyard.

Although Hejiazhuang has always been very safe, but the corresponding drills are frequent, how to deal with sudden situations, the guards have long been familiar with the abnormality, after Zhao entered and went out, he had already seen the family members lined up to block the intersection everywhere, and there were also archers on the house and the wall with bows and arrows.

Then the lanterns near and around were lit one after another, and the area where Zhao Jin lived in Hejiazhuang was extremely bright. Faintly, a sharp whistle could be heard not far away, and this was the beginning of an emergency assembly at the station of the pro-guard brigade.

Listening to the sound of horses' hooves in front, there was a commotion in the procession, and several teams were ordering to restrain their subordinates, and the archers at the head of the wall quickly shouted down, it was their own family.

The mount stopped outside, and a horseback rider ran in quickly, and as soon as he ran past the queue in front of him, he was ordered to stop by Niu Jinbao, and ordered the family members around him to go up and search his body, and then asked people to report a few steps away.

"Master, there are five riots, two of which have been extinguished nearby, and the other three are rushing towards this side, the news has been sent, and the guards are coming

"How many thieves are there?"

"In the middle of the night, I can't see clearly, and the number of thieves from all walks of life will not exceed two hundred."

This two hundred is the upper limit, Zhao Jin nodded, and said: "Let's line up here to meet the enemy, and then urgently order the horse team to sweep the streets, and kill people in case of death."

The family agreed loudly, turned around and rode out again, Zhao Jin took a deep breath and said in a muffled voice: "The thief is coming for me, then we will wait for him here." ”

After saying this, Zhao Jin slapped his forehead and said in a loud voice: "Li Can, you take three teams to Wang Zhaojing's side, and you must protect him thoroughly." ”

Now there are four people living inside and outside Hejiazhuang, Zhao Jin, Wang Zhaojing, Ji Xiang and Liu Yong, Ji Xiang and Liu Yong all live in their own teams, where the guards are heavily guarded, so naturally there is no need to worry about anything, but Wang Zhaojing is no different from the ordinary residents in Hejiazhuang, which will be troublesome.

The noise can already be heard outside, if in other towns, there is a sudden noise at night, there must be crying and screaming everywhere in the house, but it is different in Hejiazhuang, once the chaos starts at night, every household must close the door, no noise, no mess around, otherwise the family Ding team will kill, will be killed indiscriminately.

So this noisy and chaotic movement was heard very clearly in the room, and after Xin Qitao finished saying this, he pushed the table with both hands, and his body retreated a foot, looking like he was about to stand up.

It was originally an ordinary action, but Wang Zhaojing opposite him also made the same action, and Xin Qitao stood up directly, and the two sides suddenly stood and looked at each other.

Xin Qitao looked at Wang Zhaojing opposite, the wry smile on his face was heavier, and he said: "When did Brother Wang Xian see it, Brother Fool should have hidden it well." ”

Wang Zhaojing's face was a little pale, but there were bloodshots in his eyes, and he said in an astringent voice: "Brother Xin came with Xin Geng tonight, this Xin Geng has to follow up, the younger brother looked at it more, but now Brother Xin's sword is wrapped with strips of cloth, and the scholar with the sword is nothing more than to decorate the façade, why is the handle wrapped in cloth, that is to not slip when he sees blood, so the younger brother is cautious." ”

Xin Qitao was stunned, his left hand was already gripping the scabbard, Xin Qitao shook his head and smiled: "Brother Wang Xian is really a person who does great things, not only has a strategy, but also has a careful heart, who can see such details." ”

His sword hilt has been wrapped with strips of cloth, the sword is the most valuable, and the decoration is more exquisite than other weapons, but this also has a problem, that is, the sword handle that is too smooth is easy to get rid of if you see blood and sweat, which is a fatal event in battle, so in actual combat, the sword handle is often wrapped with cloth in advance.

Xin Qitao pointed to Wang Zhaojing's hand and said with a smile: "Brother Wang Xian's preparation is also very sufficient, since I came to Xuzhou, Brother Wang Xian's sword is always ready to kill."

Wang Zhaojing also held a narrow blade sword in his hand, and the handle of the sword was also wrapped with strips of cloth, Wang Zhaojing raised the scabbard with one hand, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xin, the younger brother followed the eldest brother at the age of fourteen to save people and kill people, this sword has never been a decoration, drinking blood every year, killing every year, this sword is always like this." ”

Xin Qitao took a deep breath and took a step back, Wang Zhaojing's living room is very spacious, and there is a lot of room for maneuver, Wang Zhaojing said in a deep voice: "Brother Xin, junior brother asks Brother Xin again, are you willing to serve Xuzhou, my eldest brother is broad-minded and will not care about these small things, as long as we work together for a great cause, we can not blame the past." ”

"Read the book of sages, be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, if Xin Mou serves his life, he will only serve the court, how can he work hard for a local tyrant and thief like Xuzhou, Brother Wang Xian, you have great talent and power, but you have taken the wrong road for a while, if you can turn back, fame and wealth are not a problem, return to the right path as soon as possible, serve the country, and not know the sage in vain."

Regarding Xin Qitao's words, Wang Zhaojing just smiled and shook his head, his smile was full of bitterness, and he asked: "Brother Xin, now that you are in the Zhao Zi camp, you don't think about how to escape, but you want to persuade the junior brother to surrender, this is too important." ”

"Brother Wang Xian, life and death are not in your hands now." Xin Qitao said coldly.

As soon as the words fell, I heard a scream outside the door, but this scream was not outside, or in the courtyard outside, this scream was not far from the house, but it was the scream of the bitter one

Hearing this voice, Xin Qitao's face changed suddenly, and the next moment he moved extremely fast, pressing the tension spring, the sword was unsheathed, and the scabbard was thrown towards Wang Zhaojing, Xin Qitao did not pause at all, and the whole person rubbed his body and pounced.

He only made a move here, Wang Zhaojing didn't dodge, the whole person also stepped forward, and directly overturned the table, the cups and saucers flew around, the wine and food splashed everywhere, and the table just blocked Xin Qitao's movements, after Wang Zhaojing overturned the table, the whole person took two steps back, and the narrow long sword in his hand was also pulled out.

Footsteps sounded hurriedly, the door of the house was opened, and three servants with short knives and spears walked in, and in the other door of the living room, three also entered, one of whom drew a bow and arrow.

Xin Qitao splashed a lot of vegetable juice and wine, dirty and sloppy, his expression was cold, he just used his sword to cut off the hem and cuffs of the robe, and the whole thing became a strong dress suitable for fighting.

"Xin Geng's skills should be good, if the younger brother doesn't notice, Brother Xin's master and servant will attack together, how can they also take down the younger brother." Wang Zhaojing said coldly.
