Seeing that several henchmen who were about to rush out to call people were killed one after another by the firecrackers, this caused a sensation in the evil young team. In fact, if you really want to talk about it, whether it is the firearms arranged by Yan Hong, or the bows and arrows, after all, the number is limited, and they cannot be fired continuously, and they can't be like machine guns and submachine guns in later generations. There are two hundred evils here, if they retreat in a huddle at the risk of fire, even if some people are killed or injured, there is no problem for the large army to withdraw. It's just that these few shots and arrows have further eroded the morale of the evil youths. Originally, they were still considering the possibility of relying on the strength of the crowd to break through the defense of the brocade guards and slaughter the people in the hall. Now he is beginning to worry about whether he can quit, and before this advance and retreat, not only is his mentality very different, but also affects the play of combat effectiveness.

Then, Yan Hong's amplified voice came from the hall again: "Well, listen to the dogs outside, your ghost idea Ben Qincha is already fully aware." Now that you have been surrounded by the army of Benchincha, lay down your weapons and take them with your hands tied, and Benchin will give you a whole corpse, which will not affect your parents and wives. Otherwise, if you still dare to resist, this official will dismantle you and behead you all over the house!"

After Yan Hong finished shouting, he put down the loudspeaker and said to the officials and gentry around him: "These bastards, dare to come to find death, and this official will never spare them." ”

The prefect Xun Si trembled and said: "Qincha, the murderers outside are afraid that there are still hundreds of people, but they are afraid of ......" He didn't dare to say anything in his heart, thinking that Yan Daqincha, after all, now that the enemy is outnumbered, your old man shouted so hard, and said that he would dismantle eight pieces, didn't this provoke those murderers outside to fight hard? Xun Zhifu is still worried. Tonight, there is chaos in the city, and the gangsters even surround the courtyard of the Qin Cha, and I don't know what the situation is on the side of my yamen, so don't have an accident with the senior sister.

Yan Hong laughed: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Ben Chin had already made arrangements, and now these murderers are the turtles in the urn. Just wait for the officers and soldiers to arrive, and they will be captured. ”

Xun Si touched Han Meiting and said, "General Han, when will your guards come to reinforce you?" ”

Han Meiting said: "This ...... When the official came to eat and drink, he had already instructed Liu Qianhu. Good life patrols the city defense. Presumably Liu Qianhu heard the news. I'll be here soon. He said in his heart, who would have thought that Yangzhou would really make trouble? Moreover, the elite of the guards all followed Zhang Juzheng, and those who remained in the city were either old and weak or ruffians, and now I can't send the news here. Who knows if they will come? Don't take advantage of the fire to rob Amitabha.

Yan Hong laughed again: "General Han." Look at Benchincha. It won't be long before your guards arrive. With the elite of the guards, to fight these rabble villains, it is naturally easy to capture. All right. Drink slowly in this hall first, and Ben Chin will go back to the cave room first, and I will meet my charming lady. Brother Hu, Chen Tiju, Uncle Xiucai, Shao Qianhu, a few of you help me entertain guests. ”

The third son of Hu Baiqi Hu was quietly told by Yan Hong at the banquet tonight that someone might make trouble tonight. Although Hu Gongzi is a gentleman, he has also fought on the battlefield of anti-Japanese resistance in the past two years, and his courage has become fat. Yan Hong asked him to help entertain the guests, which was to treat him as his own, Hu Baiqi's face was shining, and he was very energetic. Immediately, his fat face shook, and he raised his cup and shouted: "Everyone, all the people, don't panic." Yan Daqin is clever, everyone knows it. In the past, he killed 500,000 rebels of the White Lotus Sect in Jinan, 50,000 Japanese soldiers in Jiangnan, and defeated 100,000 Tartar cavalry in Xuanda. What are these hundreds of city fox society rats now? Everyone just drink and wait to see our army win! It's not a boast, Ben Qianhu has also been in the battle array, if there are thieves coming in, Ben Qianhu will protect everyone's safety! ”

Everyone was a little relieved to see him, the son of the governor of Zhizhejiang and the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, come out as a guarantee like this. Although Chen Keyuan, the deputy director of Zhejiang City, was a literati, he followed Jiang Zhou to Japan and recruited Wang Zhi, which put life and death out of the way. Therefore, this bold chest is actually not under Hu Baiqi. When there was chaos outside just now, he was also a little flustered, but seeing that Qin Cha was confident, he naturally calmed down, so he also helped greet the guests. As for Shao An and Meng Xiucai, they followed Yan Hong's birth and death many times, and they didn't take this little mess seriously at all. And the guests in the hall saw that the people who were on the mission were so calm, and they were no longer flustered.

Yan Hong left a room of people in the hall and turned from the back door to the backyard, but saw Yan Jing and Yan Guo guarding the door, and when he saw Yan Hong, he arched his hand and said, "Young Master, you are here." ”

Yan Hong said: "What's the matter, is there a villain in the back house?" ”

Yan said: "There was a burst of gunfire outside just now, presumably it was the Jinyi guard who was in ambush by you who repelled the gangsters." There were also a few who tried to break into the door, but they were all killed by Chief Qin and Chief Wei. There's not much movement in the back house right now. ”

Yan Hong nodded and walked into the back house. But under the red candle, Hua Yuexian accompanied Mo Qing'er, who was wearing a big red wedding dress, was sitting on the bed. That Hua Yuexian still couldn't stop comforting Mo Qing'er: "Madam, don't be afraid. Our master is a god-like figure, when he was in Taizhou, tens of thousands of would-be robbers were killed by him, and now these thieves are afraid of what? Even if I have a servant here, I am not boasting, but I can kill a few thieves in him. She was talking vigorously when she looked up and saw Yan Hong, and hurriedly shouted: "Ah, master." ”

Mo Qing'er covered her head, hearing the gunshots and faint shouts outside, and her body was still trembling. Suddenly, hearing that Yan Hong was coming, he hurriedly straightened his small chest: "Male...... Male gentleman. There was already a cry in the tone of his voice.

Yan Hong hurriedly took two steps forward, took Mo Qing'er's hand, and sat on the bed himself. Mo Qing'er fell into Yan Hong's arms as if she had no bones, and her pretty face under the hijab was tightly pressed against Yan Hong's chest: "Man, I'm afraid of ......"

Yan Hong put his arm around her shoulder and soothed: "Qing'er, don't be afraid, Qing'er is not afraid." It's just a few little thieves, I'm here, and I won't let anyone hurt you. Today is our day of great joy, how can a few rats destroy it? ”

Qing'er hugged Yan Hong's waist tightly, still trembling slightly: "I'm ...... today." I'm going to give it to the man today, but I'm really afraid. I'm really afraid of being hurt by those bad guys. Nanjun, you are here, Qing'er, I am willing to die. ”

Yan Hong sighed, gently removed Qing'er's hijab, and looked at the small face with beautiful eyebrows and cherry lips, but there were tear stains on his face, and the shallow fat powder was also washed out of the faint traces. He stretched out his hand, stroked Qing'er's face, and said in a low voice, "Qing'er, you don't have to worry like this. You are my man. Naturally, I want to protect you. As long as I'm here. I will never allow my good Qing'er to be bullied. Those rats outside, since they dare to disturb my concubine Qing'er's uncertainty, then okay, I'll take them one by one when I go back. Let them live rather than die! This Yangzhou city. You can do anything. It's a woman who wants to bully me Yan Hong, absolutely not! ”

Qing'er heard Yan Hong say this, and her flesh and bones were soft. It's like being on the clouds. Yan Hong leaned down his face, leaned on her lips, and kissed her deeply. The soft tongue was entangled, and then he felt the musk orchid breath on the girl's body, Yan Hong couldn't help but be deeply drunk. And poor Mo Qing'er is even more like falling into the clouds, not knowing where she is or where her soul is.

In the cave room, the spring is harmonious, but in the courtyard outside, it is a slaughter. The more than 200 evil boys trapped outside the main hall were out of control, and they could only hide their heads and hide from the muskets of the Jinyi guards. When he was hesitating, he heard a chaos in the backyard, and more than a hundred people ran over. Chen Shilang, who was the head, said angrily: "Third brother, we are here!" In the backyard, damn it, there was an ambush with muskets, and the brothers knocked down a lot of them, and set them on fire. You haven't rushed in here yet? ”

Li Jiahu said: "What about the dog thief's back house, did he rush in and kill his family?" ”

Chen Shilang said: "I can't rush in." The doors of the gatehouse in the back yard were bolted, and there were still things on top of them. Outside, there were firecrackers and crossbows fighting alternately, and a few of them climbed over the wall and went in and were immediately slaughtered. Third brother, this Yan Hong dog official, it seems that there is an ambush, let's hurry up! ”

Li Jiahu clenched his fists in anger, could it be that this operation, which his uncle had worked so hard to arrange, and he was holding his head to gather, was it a complete failure? At this time, there was a burst of fire at the gate of the second courtyard, but there were a few evil young people outside who ran in, and knocked down two people when they entered the door. The rest ran to Li Jiahu and cried: "Third brother, there are several houses outside that have ambushed the gunmen of Jinyiwei, fighting from the small hole, our people are in the bright place, and the firearms are not as accurate as theirs, so we will suffer a big loss." Also, it seems that the guards and the Salt Gang have also rushed over. ”

Li Jiahu said angrily: "The local command room Han Meiting, as well as Luo Xi and Cai Gongchong of the Salt Gang are all eating and drinking here, and the rabble of the guards and the Salt Gang are mixed with our people, how can they come so quickly?" ”

The evil young man outside cried, "I don't know either. Look at it like that, the line is neatly organized. ”

On the street less than a mile outside Yan Yuan, a large group of people and horses lined up in a reluctant square line, marching, filling a laneway. It can be seen from the costumes that the hundreds of people in the middle are the officers and soldiers of the guard, and there are more than a dozen brocade guards. And nearly 1,000 people before and after are thugs of the Salt Gang. The men stood in a row of five, a small square of ten, one next to the other, following the unhurried beat of the drum, step by step. The sound of footsteps on the stone pavement shook the night sky and was particularly intimidating.

Accompanied by the beat of the drums, Yun Chuqi, who was in the middle of the guards, held a loudspeaker and shouted word by word: "Prepare for the whole team!" The whole team! Advance! Following his command, the guards and salters stopped a few steps to straighten out the chaotic queue a little, and then marched forward again.

Liu Qianhu on the side stretched out his thumb and said: "General Yun, the last general has heard that you are a famous general under Yan Qincha, and when I saw you today, it really deserved your reputation." Let's be a boy of the guard, hey, it's hard every day, and the queue doesn't look good, let alone the salters. Now, he actually walks like this, and he is quite a bit of a strong soldier. Admire, admire! ”

Yun Chuqi smiled and said: "Don't dare, the contemptible person also acts according to Yan Xiaoxiang's arrangement." If it weren't for the support of General Liu, who took your cronies and officers and soldiers to capture the thieves who were hiding in the guards and salt dings and making a noise, I might not be able to do so smoothly here. Besides, we don't need these people to fight any tough battles at the moment, as long as they create momentum, it will naturally be enough to stabilize the whole city. ”

After Yun Chuqi finished talking to Liu Qianhu, he turned his head and shouted with a loudspeaker: "Sons, Yan Qin has an order, settle Yangzhou, capture the thieves, and reward each person with five coins of silver tomorrow!" If you capture and kill a thief, you will be rewarded with ten taels! This is a cheap fall from the sky, don't rob it, don't grab it! Shout with me, be loyal to the great tomorrow, defend the fathers and elders of Yangzhou, capture and kill the thieves, and receive the reward! More than 1,000 people roared like thunder: "Be loyal to the Son of Tomorrow, defend the fathers and elders of Yangzhou, capture and kill the thieves, and receive the reward!" ”

Listening to this majestic roar, the faces of the ordinary people in the streets and alleys of the city who were originally terrified all day looked better. And some of the guards who followed the evil youths, Yan Ding, and Zao Yong, some quietly stopped, relying on the locals' familiarity, bypassed the two paths, tore off the white cloth on their arms, and began to shout, "Capture the thieves, get the reward!" In the city, Ma Zimian and other housekeepers of the big salt merchants also began to pull out the team of family members. They didn't do anything to divide and attack, but just raised many lanterns and torches high on the courtyard wall, and lined up in the gate of their own house, shouting: "Follow Yan Qincha, kill the thief and receive the reward!" "It's enough to put the whole neighborhood in a natural state of martial law. (To be continued......)
