Chapter 60: Her Cousin
Li Xiaoyun listened to Zhu Jinghe's words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he put away the sword in his hand.
He said in a deep voice, "You actually let people escape?"
Zhu Jinghe had a bitter look on his face: "I don't know how people can escape and find Cen Qingshan, I have been mortal enemies with Cen Qingshan for many years, if he knows about this, he will definitely bite me and become Xiao Qingfeng's help." ”
They are all Jinshi of the same year, but they don't like each other, they have been fighting each other for so many years, and they can't wait to put each other to death, if Cen Qingshan knew that he secretly ambushed Dingbeihou, he would definitely not let him go.
Although Li Xiaoyun is here, Zhu Jinghe knows very well that these high-ranking people will only protect themselves, and as for the people below, if they are exposed, no one will care whether they live or die.
Li Xiaoyun snorted coldly and said, "If Xiao Jifeng doesn't die, you won't be able to live no matter what." As for the Jiangzhou prefect, if you say no, what can he do on your territory?"
Zhu Jinghe wiped the sweat from his forehead: "What Lord Duwei said is that as long as they can't see the people from the Dingbei Hou Mansion, there is no evidence. However, we have not found the rest of the Dingbei Hou Mansion now. ”
"Still haven't found it yet?" Li Xiaoyun's tone became cold.
Zhu Jinghe said: "I sent fast horses to search nearby, and there were jams in various road sections, but no trace of them was found." ”
The people of Dingbei Hou are so weird that they can't find anyone as if they have disappeared.
Li Xiaoyun frowned at his sword eyebrows and asked, "The people who searched in the west have no results?"
"The west?" Zhu Jinghe was slightly stunned and said, "There has been no news from the people in the west, should it be ......?"
Li Xiaoyun glanced at him: "You go and stabilize Cen Qingshan, and I will personally take someone to search." ”
Where did Zhu Jinghe dare to say half a word, he could only nod vigorously.
The sky was already dark, and the faint moonlight was shining, barely allowing people to see the road ahead, and at this time, Cen Qingshan came with more than 2,000 officers and soldiers, all holding torches high, illuminating the night very brightly.
The officers and soldiers of the two governments confronted each other, and everyone's faces were grim, and their momentum was about to erupt.
"What kind of wind brought Lord Cen here?"
Zhu Jinghe walked out from behind the officers and soldiers in Luzhou, looking at Cen Qingshan in front of him, his eyes were gloomy, because he was too thin, his eyes bulged out, and he looked even more gloomy in the dark night.
Cen Qingshan looked at Zhu Jinghe in front of him, and secretly cursed a cunning villain in his heart.
He said loudly: "Your assassination of Dingbei Hou and Dingbei Hou Shizi is really a big crime, and you will be arrested before you can tie your hands!"
Zhu Jinghe sneered: "Say that I assassinated the Marquis of Dingbei? Lord Cen, don't just charge such a big crime casually! Why can't I think of assassinating the Marquis of Yipin? If you want to slander people, you have to pick a better reason." ”
Cen Qingshan sneered: "Don't think you deny it, forget about this matter, the people from the Dingbei Hou Mansion came to my Jiangzhou to find reinforcements, we must not sit idly by, if you are really not weak-minded, let us find out the Dingbei Hou." ”
"Cen Qingshan, don't be too presumptuous!" Zhu Jinghe suddenly raised his voice, "Do you think this is Jiangzhou, you can search if you want? Without a warrant from your superiors, you brought troops to my Luzhou territory without permission, do you take me, the prefect of Luzhou, a four-grade grade, in your eyes!"
Cen Qingshan said: "The people of Dingbei Hou Mansion are in my Jiangzhou Mansion, if Dingbei Hou has an accident, not to mention your grade, I am afraid that even your life will not be saved." ”
Zhu Jinghe narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a gloomy look.
He said: "I'll let go here today, your Jiangzhou soldiers have no evidence, don't want to spread wild on the boundary of my Luzhou territory, dare to take a step forward, and kill them!"
As soon as he gave the order, all the officers and soldiers of Luzhou Mansion drew their swords and made a defensive gesture.
And the soldiers of Jiangzhou Mansion did not show weakness, drew their swords, and the swords were facing each other.
The situation was frozen for a while, and if the officers and soldiers of the two sides started fighting, and the casualties were undetermined, the people of Jiangzhou Mansion might not be able to find Beihou on this boundary safely.
After a stalemate of about a quarter of an hour, the sound of horses' hooves came from a short distance away, coming towards them.
Everyone turned their heads to look over, only to see two fast horses hurriedly stepped forward, reined in the horse rope in front of the people of Jiangzhou Mansion, and stopped.
The guards of the Ji family turned over and dismounted, half-kneeling on the ground: "Lord Cen, save our eldest lady!"
Cen Qingshan was taken aback: "How is she?"
The guard said: "Our eldest lady and the prince of Dingbei have fallen to the bottom of the mountain, life and death are uncertain, please send someone to rescue you quickly!"
Hearing that Ji Yanning and Dingbei Hou Shizi had both fallen to the bottom of the mountain, Cen Qingshan couldn't stay.
He drew the sword at his waist and shouted at the other party's people: "Zhu Jinghe has the audacity to assassinate the Marquis of Great Wei Yipin, this crime should be punished! If you help the abuse again, it is also a capital crime, if you surrender, you will be spared! Otherwise, it doesn't matter if you die, after you die, your family will be affected, are you really willing to be the murderer in Zhu Jinghe's hands!"
As soon as he said this, the soldiers in Luzhou had some changes.
Zhu Jinghe's personality, the people, officers and soldiers of Luzhou and the people are well known, but as a parent official, how can they compete with these small officials and white clothes?
Now Cen Qingshan's words made them embarrassed.
Zhu Jinghe listened to the bursts of discussion coming from behind him, and he roared angrily: "Who dares to rebel!"
Cen Qingshan said: "You know better than anyone what kind of person Zhu Jinghe is, do you want people to continue to plague the people of Luzhou!"
At this time, it was the right time, Cen Qingshan ordered: "Capture Zhu Jinghe! If the others don't resist, we won't embarrass you!"
With a wave of his hand, the officers and soldiers of Jiangzhou stepped forward with their swords.
Many Luzhou officers and soldiers couldn't help but take a few steps back, only Zhu Jinghe's dog legs were still around him on weekdays.
Cen Qingshan brought a lot of officers and soldiers, and was about to rush over, when suddenly among Zhu Jing and the officers and soldiers behind him, a sharp sword pierced into his body.
"Uh-" Zhu Jinghe didn't expect that it was the person behind him who wanted to kill him, he slowly turned his head and saw a familiar face among the many people, he wanted to stretch out his finger to him, but before his hand was raised, the whole person had already fallen.
It happened so suddenly, and no one noticed who did it.
Zhu Jinghe died like this.
"Lord Zhu......"
Zhu Jinghe's master beside him opened his mouth wide because of surprise, he stepped forward incredulously, shook Zhu Jinghe's arm gently, and seeing that he didn't react, he probed his finger into his nose again, and then believed that he was really dead.
"Lord Zhu is dead. He was a little surprised.
The soldiers behind them saw the master's gaze on them, and they all took a few steps back.
Cen Qingshan, who originally wanted to capture Zhu Jinghe alive, didn't expect that someone would kill Zhu Jinghe in front of him.
However, he quickly came back to his senses and glanced at those Luzhou officers and soldiers, even if he checked now, he might not be able to find out who killed him, and now the top priority is to find out who killed Dingbeihou.
He said, "Where is the master of Luzhou?"
The master book was stunned for a moment, so he could only step forward: "Lord Cen." ”
"Send two people to lead the way, and the others are not allowed to move without my permission!" Cen Qingshan said, his tone unquestionable.
The main book of Luzhou hurriedly should be.
The moonlight was dim, and the wind rustled through the mountains and forests, rustling the treetops.
Ji Yanning struggled to get up, saw Xiao Shaobei not far away, stepped forward and patted his face gently: "Shizi, are you okay?"
Xiao Shaobei slowly opened his eyes, only to feel a splitting headache, and saw Ji Yanning's shadow in the dark night, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I can't die." ”
Ji Yanning helped him up, looked around, and could only find a place to hide first.
The autumn night was very cool, and she needed to find a place to hide from the wind and beasts.
The two men walked several steps forward with difficulty, and suddenly saw a corpse.
Xiao Shaobei looked at the man's clothes, it was obvious that he was the guard of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, he hurriedly stepped forward, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"Father should be nearby. Xiao Shaobei said, "Before I fell, I saw my father's sword." ”
Ji Yanning was silent for a while, and then said, "If they fall, they shouldn't be able to go far." ”
They continued on, and it wasn't long before they came across a cave.
Xiao Shaobei's injury was not light, and after he fell, his injury was aggravated, and Ji Yanning could only help him into the cave.
But as soon as he entered the cave, he saw two people lying inside, motionless.
"Father!" Xiao Shaobei saw Xiao Jifeng at a glance and hurriedly stepped forward, but his leg was injured, and as soon as he moved, the whole person fell forward.
Ji Yanning just wanted to reach out to support him, but he had already climbed in front of Xiao Jifeng, held Xiao Jifeng's shoulders and shook it: "Father, wake up!"
Xiao Jifeng was covered in blood, his lips were white, his hair was very messy, and his eyes were closed and motionless.
Ji Yanning stood in place, looking at his current appearance, and finally had a feeling of being in a different world.
Obviously, he was still a high-spirited teenager in his memories, but now that he has reached the age of standing, looking at his beard and changed appearance, Ji Yanning was speechless for a while.
No matter what Xiao Shaobei called, the unconscious Xiao Jifeng didn't wake up.
"What should I do?" Xiao Shaobei panicked and turned his head to look at Ji Yanning.
Ji Yanning came back to his senses, immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hand to check his pulse, and tears couldn't help but fall.
She reached out to wipe away her tears, took out a silver needle from her sleeve, and pierced it on the acupoint on Xiao Jifeng's head.
"You don't want to die, you can't die...... Ji Yanning's mouth kept chattering, but his hands trembled uncontrollably.
Even when she was in danger, she had never panicked so much.
When the seventh silver needle pierced, Xiao Qifeng's fingers finally moved.
He slowly opened his eyes, saw Ji Yanning's Xiao Shaobei in front of him, and said with difficulty: "Why did you come back...... Didn't I let you go, as long as I died...... They won't embarrass you, they just want my life, just give it to them. ”
Ji Yanning listened to his words, and finally couldn't help crying: "Cousin, I don't allow you to die! You said you would protect me, you can't talk and don't count! You can't die! Please don't die...... I'm Cai Wei, I'm back......"
