Shungeng Street in Xishi is the longest street in the whole Luochang City, and the street is full of traffic and people.

Zhao Mengqing said that there is nothing that can not be found from here in the three hundred and sixty lines, especially in this place where the river eats, it is easy to find hundreds of short-term workers to repair the river, and the silver we give is very rich, so in just half an hour, Zhao Mengqing and I have recruited two hundred people, and all of them are burly and strong, and they do not hesitate to look at it.

I chose a strong man who looked very prestigious, handed them over to him, arranged for the purchase of the stone and the start of the work, and the strong man took the rest of the day workers first.

Zhao Mengqing pinched the fan and said to me: "Anyway, it's also arranged, I can help you guard here, you are short of time, you can rush forward first, and go to meet the soldiers of Yuzhou City." ”

I was about to answer, but I was alerted to the fisherman wearing a hat who had just walked past me was a little wrong, and when I swept away, I really found that he reached out and pulled the hat down a few inches to cover his face, and his movements were very eager to cover up, and then I looked closely and found that the man's calf muscles were solid, and his steps were light and lumpy, as if he was a long-term martial arts practitioner.

Zhao Mengqing also found out, pinched the fan and pondered for a while, and then said with a long sigh: "I remember, I have seen this person, it is the person next to Lu Shuyuan, he is afraid that he heard our conversation just now, and knows that I am in a group with you, and he wants to rush to report to his family." ”

I held the scabbard and said lightly: "Then this person can't stay alive." ”

Zhao Mengqing is not a virgin, he echoed very neatly and decisively, and when he heard that he was going to kill someone, his eyes became bright: "Did you see it, he just had a conversation with the carpenter in front of the coffin shop, this carpenter is an accomplice, so he can't stay." "The fisherman will give it to you, and the carpenter will give it to me, and the third junction in front of you will lead you to a dead end, and you will force them there." ”

Half an hour later, at the end of the alley, the leaves of the towering willow trees above the head swaggered, and the sound of rattling was stirred up by the internal force.

Both of them are masters, and the reason why we were able to push them to the end of the alley was because they also wanted to solve the two of us in the alley.

At the point of life and death, the fisherman simply threw away the hat and untied the long whip coiled around his head; Seeing this, the carpenter also threw away the chisel in his hand, took out two shiny short knives from his waist, and then grinned with bared teeth: "You two might as well hand me the valuable things on your body first, so that I can pick two good coffins for you." ”

The king smiled slightly, drew his long sword, and said to Zhao Mengqing, who didn't know martial arts: "You wait on the side." ”

But Zhao Mengqing didn't move, but calmed down, leisurely took out a row of flying knives from his sleeve pocket, and before the two in front of him could react, a row of flying knives had already come out of his hands, and the knives were close to the two people's lives.

It was from here that this king began to re-acquaint himself with Zhao Mengqing, and before that, I never knew that such an idle, weak civil official as he could have such a powerful skill.

The opponent obviously didn't expect Zhao Mengqing's power, so he subconsciously dodged, and the flying knife grazed along his neck, leaving a trail of blood.

The two-on-two battle was really very easy to fight, the king's sword move made the clouds flow, and the move led to victory, the fisherman could not hide, and the power of the long whip began to float, and finally the heart was defenseless, I pushed out the long sword and did not enter it, and the man died cleanly; Zhao Mengqing seems to have not used force for many years, and the moves in his hand are a little rusty, but fortunately, the foundation is solid, the foundation is good, and he recovered in a few rounds, and he suppressed the opponent to the death, so the two flying knives stabbed into the carpenter's wrist bones steadily, and the two short knives fell in response, and in the next second, a flying blade hit the throat, and the carpenter also died heartbreakingly.

I looked around, but I didn't see anyone around.

Zhao Mengqing took out his flying knife, wiped the clothes of the two of them before putting it in his sleeve pocket, and when he looked up, he probably saw the king's slightly curious gaze, so he explained first, "When I was young, my father was strict with me, so he sent a special master to teach me martial arts. For a certain period of time, these skills not only protected me, but also protected the emperor. ”

The king withdrew his sword and put it in its scabbard and nodded.

He thought of Wei Tian, so he added: "Can the lower officials ask His Highness for something, if you take the throne one day, can you leave a living mouth for the emperor?" ”

I was not interested in Wei Tian's life, whether he lived or died was up to him, and I didn't want to do anything to force my brother to death, but when I heard him ask me like this, I really wanted to know why he begged me like this, so I said: "You can tell me the reason, although the brotherhood is deep, the sword mountain and the sea of fire are old-fashioned, but they may really be able to impress this king." ”

But Zhao Mengqing didn't say those words, he looked at the sky, and didn't even pave the way for Wei Tian, but every sentence was related to himself: "It's okay to say it, but Your Highness may not understand." I was five years old when I first entered the palace, His Majesty was ten years old, I was ten years old, I was ten years old, I was ten years old, and when I returned to the imperial capital and retired, I was already twenty-five years old. In the twenty years when Xia Guan was in high spirits, he only did one thing - to protect his life all the way. If he dies like this, will the twenty years of the lower official become nothing? After bothering and working hard, nothing is left, nothing is achieved. ”

I could barely understand his feelings, so I nodded, "Let's see if he wants to live." ”

He knew that he had made sense of me, so he opened the folding fan and shook it, and said leisurely: "There are several houses on this street that are engaged in the business of killers, and I was the one who came here before His Highness left the dock. Two of them have already been killed, so let's hire a few more, and before Lu Shuyuan wakes up, he will get rid of all the shadows of his subordinates. ”

At night, the shadows in the city have been almost solved by us, Zhao Mengqing went to Lu Shuyuan's mansion to wait for him to wake up, this king went to the river and walked around, to see that the group of men were working very hard by the river, according to this posture, it is estimated that it will be completed in more than half a month.

I thought that the danger in Luochang City would be settled by this point. I returned to the noodle shop I had visited during the day, and stayed in the backyard study for a night, preparing to explain the matter here to Zhao Mengqing early tomorrow morning, and then I set off for Yuzhou.

Everything went smoothly and properly, the king was at ease, and in his dream, Qin Buxian's red figure in a wedding dress appeared, and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers in Nanguo Mansion also appeared.

But I never expected that the next morning, when the king arrived at the wharf, he found that the officers and men of our army were standing neatly on the wharf, and the 5,000 people who should have just evacuated the southern border and walked to the southern country at a speed that could not be slower, but had not yet reached Yuzhou City, now appeared in front of me in a dignified manner.

"What's the matter, how did you get to Luochang?" I exclaimed.

Counselor Feng in the army was stunned by my question, and stepped forward to answer me in a daze: "Your Highness, we have received your order, according to your orders, quickly evacuate the south, and are reluctant to take the canal by water day and night to the north, until we reach Luochang City. ”

I saw a frozen self in the eyes of Counselor Feng.

There seemed to be a snap, and the thread that had been tense in my heart for many days broke in an instant, and there was chaos in my mind that I couldn't figure it out, and finally I had to calm down for a moment before I stabilized my mind, stared at him and said, "Who did you get the order from?" ”

Feng Shenling's brows were twisted into Sichuan characters, and he said in a panic: "It was Vice General Xu Guangguang Xu who sent an urgent letter of eight hundred miles," he paused, and also realized that something was wrong, he raised his head suddenly, and his eyes were instantly surprised, "Could it be that the letter is fake?" Could it be Vice General Xu ......"

He didn't dare to say any more, but the king knew in his heart what he wanted to say—

First, Xu Guangguang became the backstopper;

Second, Xu Guangguang encountered great danger.

After three seconds of deliberation, the king decided to believe the latter.

Looking up at this group of soldiers, a thousand feelings came to my heart: if it was night, it would be better to say, they could take the opportunity to dive to the bottom of the river and return to the south without realizing it; But it was daytime for his mother, the sky was bright, the morning sun was shining, and the eyes of the merchants and dock slendermen were surprisingly unanimous, all falling on the more than 5,000 soldiers in military uniforms.

Coincidentally, Lu Shuyuan, who had woken up after the strength of the medicine, got the news from somewhere, and also rushed to the dock. Zhao Mengqing followed not far behind him, and made countless colors for me, some nervous, some disappointed.

Lu Shuyuan walked over with a good look of skin, bowed down first, and then said with a smile: "Xiaguan greets King Chong'an." ”

Zhao Mengqing unfolded the fan and shook it slightly, grabbed the conversation and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet His Highness in Luochang City, His Highness and the officers and soldiers in the army only arrived in Luochang today, it's really hard along the way, why don't you go to the city to rest for a while, and then start work after noon?" ”

Lu Shuyuan's face was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much about it, so he followed Zhao Mengqing's words and said, "Lord Zhao is right, Your Highness has worked hard, and you should have a good rest." Coincidentally, the lower official has been sleepy for three days, and today His Royal Highness woke up when he arrived in Luochang. ”

Ben Wang hooked the corners of his lips: "Lord Lu is exaggerating." ”

After saying that, he pretended to be comfortable and walked around, paused for a moment on the short-term worker who repaired the river not far away, and then said to Lu Shuyuan: "Luochang City is really pure and good, and the people have spontaneously organized to repair the river, which shows how well Lord Lu has been educated as a parent." Although this sentence was addressed to Lu Shuyuan, it was addressed to Zhao Mengqing.

Zhao Mengqing understood what I meant, turned around and showed a smiling expression to Lu Shuyuan, pretending to be slightly angry and restrained, and said in a strange manner: "Lord Lu is really worried." Zhao went to take a look to see if they had done everything that His Royal Highness King Chong'an should have led people to do, and robbed His Highness of the credit. ”

This sentence not only protected his identity with Emperor Jing Gao Li from being suspected, but also pushed all the faults on Lu Shuyuan, making Lu Shuyuan fall into a panicked situation, and he really passed, and he had a separate time and opportunity to unify his voice with that group of short-term workers and cover up the fact that he was hired by us.

Three birds with one stone, that's it.
