Chapter 68 Sow discord and suppress bandits in the mountains
In the restaurant, the person headed by the robbers sat in it, looking at the people coming and going outside the window, his eyebrows were deep, and his heart was extremely disturbed, last night he had asked the third child to negotiate with that Qingchangfu, as long as he succeeded in killing that Qingyan, he would not pursue the matter, and today he is here to get her whereabouts from it, or to set up a trap and other things, but why is it so uneasy?
Bang β
Just as he was pondering, his brother, who was guarding outside the private room, was suddenly thrown into the room, spurting blood, and died in his arms before he could even speak. He raised his head angrily and saw a black-clothed masked man with a calm gaze and a black mole on his eyebrows, which made him feel very familiar.
"Who are you?" Although he was angry, he still retained a certain amount of sanity, and looked at the other party with murderous intent.
"The one who wants your life!"
The people who came couldn't help but say, carrying a knife to go, recruiting a killer, a deadly move, the speed of action, the smoothness of action, so that it was overwhelmed, but the anger in his heart exploded at this time, he didn't understand, he came here extremely hidden, how was it known? And who wants their own life? As a robber, he has always cut down the grass and eradicated the roots, and if anyone has a grudge against him, he will strangle it in the cradle, is it the only way? No! No way!
His face was shocked, his heart was shocked, and under the distraction, he made the person find the gap, and waved it down, and his left arm was broken at the root, breaking the liver and intestines, he wailed, grabbed the corpse of his brother with his right hand and threw it over, and then took advantage of this opportunity to jump down the window, looked back at the restaurant, his eyes lit up, and finally remembered who the familiar black mole belonged to, and immediately fled without looking back.
The person who came stood upstairs, looking at the direction of his escape, did not have any idea of pursuit, just looked at the more and more people gathered under the window, and some panicked people, silently retreated.
At the same time, at the foot of the Qin Mountain, Zhao Zhizhou went straight to the Qin Cottage with thousands of officers and soldiers, this was not the first time he came here, but it was the first time he came with killing intent.
"Father, do you really want to suppress bandits? Their movements have always been reliable, and they have always cut the grass and eradicated the roots, so we are missing a big help. β
"Needless to say, since the fourth prince has given this order, he naturally has his reasons, and besides, his father also feels that they know a little more."
Zhao Yuanche was silent, his eyes were contemplative, his father didn't say much when he saw this, but his steps slowed down slightly, leaving him plenty of time.
After a while, the father and son appeared at the entrance of the canyon, and at this time they were ready for everything, and looked at the two of them with fierce eyes:
"Lord Zhao, what does this mean? We've always had mutual benefits with you, but now you've raised your knife! β
"It turned out to be the third master, why don't you see your eldest brother?" He frowned, today's action is to destroy it all in one fell swoop, and now the person who is the leader is not there, and he is slightly dissatisfied in his heart.
"Big brother naturally has big brother things, but Lord Zhao, you, really want to be an enemy of us? I think I've done a lot of things for you, and now hum! Sure enough, you officials are scheming and ungrateful! β
Zhao Yuanche heard this, his face was extremely ugly, he just wanted to scold him when he stepped forward, but he was stopped by his father, and then waved his hand casually, thousands of officers and soldiers behind him frantically poured in, and the robbers in the valley sneered again and again.
However, they did not see the onslaught as they imagined, but piled up a lot of dry wood at the mouth of the valley and poured fire oil on it.
"It's not good, they're going to attack with fire, hurry up and release the arrows!" The second master reacted in an instant, but it was still too late, countless burning arrows shot in like this, and a roar of flames rose, rising to the sky, but in a moment the scorching flames had engulfed the entire canyon, and there were screams in it, and more and more robbers could not stand the scorching and smoky flames and rushed out desperately, but they were beheaded by officers and soldiers at the moment of walking.
Half an hour later, the canyon that was originally full of flowers became a scorched earth, Zhao Zhizhou took his son and a group of officers and soldiers down the mountain leisurely, and then the big boss of the cottage returned in embarrassment, looking at the unrecognizable, scorched corpses all over the cottage suddenly burst into tears, he has never had such regret now, regretted the cooperation with Qing Changfu, hated Qing Changfu's rebellion, in his mind, all this must have an inevitable connection with him.
At the same time, in the Qinhou Mansion, Qingping came quietly, did not alarm anyone, knelt on one knee in front of Qingyan, and was silent.
"Success?" She smiled and put down the wolf pen in her hand, looking at him very happily, not because of his behavior, but because of his psychological changes, she could feel that since the incident in Jinling Temple, he had been willing to work under her subordinates, and she was very happy to be able to harvest such a master.
"Yes! And Zhao Zhizhou has exterminated the Qinshan cottage! β
"Extermination? He's fast enough this time! She raised an eyebrow, thinking it would take a lot of effort to get him to send troops.
"Missβ" Qingping stood up suddenly, hesitantly looking at her still thin body, wondering if she wanted to tell the story.
"What's the matter? If you have something to say, it's not like you! β
"Last night, I felt that there were masters haunting Qingzhou City, and I went in and out of the Zhizhou Mansion halfway, and then left at the West City Gate overnight."
Qingyan was silent, she suddenly had a feeling that Zhao Zhizhou's abnormal behavior must have a great relationship with this, and what he cared about the most was the direction of their departure, west, which was Yulin Pass. It has been less than half a year since the calm was restored to this level, is it possible that there will be another accident?
Qingping saw her pondering, thinking that she really shouldn't say this matter, thinking about it so much, it is really not a good thing to cultivate her body. Then he quietly withdrew, but collided with Ling Shan who came in a hurry at the moment he walked out. He inadvertently glanced at the scar on her face before turning away.
The latter bit his lip, and his still gentle face suddenly turned cold, causing the contemplative Qingyan to shiver directly and look over:
"What's going on?"
"It's nothing, Mr. Pingzhi asked me to pass on a message, saying that although you have only known people, you can be called a prodigy, but there is no cliff in the sea of learning, if you want, he wants to accept you as a closed disciple." Her words were cold, and she did not ease her attitude because of Qingyan's identity.
"Good! Then you tell the gentleman that I will go to the teacher in three days. β
She smiled, even if Ling Shan didn't say it, she could guess something, and what could make her so unhappy was that Qing Ping stared at the scar on her face again.
Thinking of this, she was also speechless, Qingping was silent all day long, except for protecting her, and things related to her, she didn't care about anything, but since Jinling Temple, she had a lot of attention to Ling Shan, and all of these concerns fell on the scar on the latter's face, women are born with beauty, even Ling Shan, who has been disfigured, is no exception, so being stared at by a man with a ruined face, anyone will be angry!
"Good!" The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she didn't want to stay for a moment.
"Wait!" When she saw this, she immediately called.
"What else?" She frowned, her mood at this time, although she knew that it was wrong to face Miss with such an attitude, she still couldn't control it, and she also knew that Miss wouldn't mind this little thing at all.
"Tell Chen Dong and let him pay attention to Yulin Pass!"
"Good! I know, Miss also rests more, don't work too hard! After all, she was still a little worried, and after saying awkwardly, she hurried away uncomfortably.
In the early morning of the next day, Qingyan just sat at the dining table, Yi Xuan hurriedly came, Yi Han saw this, just wanted to say something, but thought of his presumptuousness before, and Yi Xuan's stability in the past, so he endured it, and then was more careful when he prepared vegetables for her.
Qingyan felt the changes in the people around her, nodded impassively, in her heart, whether it was Han or Ling Shan, including Qingping, as long as she was loyal to her, then she was willing to regard them as her best friends, give them the best, and respect their wishes, but there was one principle that they were never allowed to break: her affairs, her wishes, and all her decisions did not allow them to be the slightest presumptuous, otherwise she didn't know that the feudal ideology was deeply rooted in them after they got enough freedom, Will there be a slave bullying thing, if it really happens, she believes that even if she is reluctant, she will definitely kill her, so this kind of painful thing, she will strangle it in the cradle as soon as possible.
"What's wrong?" She took a sip of porridge, and Fang raised her head to look at Yi Xuan.
"Just came the news, there are five more corpses at the foot of Jinling Mountain, all wearing night clothes, and a sword to seal their throats, Ling Shan and Chen Dong said that this matter is extremely important, so they specially asked Liu Da to bring the news in."
"The news that Liu Da brought? And what about Jasmine? She was amazed.
"Early in the morning, Jasmine said that her sister Jasmine and her younger brother Gou'er suffered from the cold last night and called her back to take care of her."
"Yi Han, you can send someone over to take a look in a while, and if it's serious, let Yun Fei go over and take a look."
"Yes!"
"Yi Xuan, did Ling Shan pass on other words?"
"There is another sentence, saying that Qingping knows it."
Qingyan pondered for a moment, thinking that he had mentioned that there were masters entering and leaving the Zhizhou Mansion, and suddenly understood that these dead black-clothed people should be the people mentioned by Qingping, but they left the city overnight, and now that a day and a night have passed, how did they die at the foot of Jinling Mountain?
"I've seen Mama, Qingluo, who was next to the old lady, came to Changyue Garden in person, saying that she asked the fourth master and the fourth lady to take the fifth miss, the sixth miss, the seventh miss, and the fifth young master to the Summer Palace, I wonder if the sixth miss can go now?"
At this moment, the voice of the big girl Sang Lan beside Jiang Yingyue sounded outside the house, and the voice was extremely respectful.
"I'll take a look, Fang"
"Mama don't bother, I've already eaten, Sister Sang Lan, have my mother and father eaten? What is my sister's condition? Can I get out of bed and walk around? Are my sister and brother okay? β
"Back to Miss Six, the fourth master and the fourth lady have already had breakfast, the fifth miss is still a little weak, but it is fine, the sixth miss and the fifth young master are in good health, I think they should have arrived at Changyue Garden by now."
"That's fine, but does my sister know why my grandmother sent someone?"
"I didn't know about this, but Qingluo seems to have the meaning of Hou Ye, I don't think it will be a bad thing, after all, Hou Ye's heart to treat the four rooms, the whole house knows about it, Miss don't have to worry too much."
