Gaoyou City is an important town of Caoyun, quite densely populated, there are items everywhere in the market, Rouge Lane, Yiyi Lane, and the rice market are all the same selling and buying along the street, which is extremely prosperous. Qi Su Niang wanted to prepare New Year's gifts for the neighbors of the Quartet, and sold them all the way, except for a few cages of live animals, Qi Qiang carried three sacks, and the work was still unfinished.

Although he didn't feel heavy, but he didn't have his hands to hold it anymore, Qi Su Niang bought four New Year's pictures of Jiangning Taohuawu, and hired a mule cart in the car bureau to load all the items.

Qi Su Niang sat on the side of the carriage, watching that it was getting late, and was about to point out the path to Qi Qiang, who was catching the car, to find a roadside restaurant to eat some food and then go back, but Qi Qiang shouted, stopped the mule cart, and stopped in front of Wuwei Building, the most lively and famous restaurant in Gaoyou City.

Qi Su Niang used to enter the city, all of them used some home-cooked dishes in the roadside restaurant with the Song family, and never went to the most famous Wuwei Building in Gaoyou City, only to see horses and carriages parked in the open space in front of the door, and all in and out were well-dressed official eunuchs. She was still puzzled and hesitant, Qi Qiang got out of the car early, and Qi Su Niang had to follow.

Qi Qiang walked in familiarly. The guy from Wuweilou hurriedly stepped forward and continued, Qi Sanye was accompanied by a smiling face, and the big shopkeeper personally came forward to compensate for it, only saying that there were distinguished guests from the capital who had chartered a whole floor of private rooms today, and invited Qi Sanye Haihan.

Qi Qiang smiled and nodded, and led Qi Su Niang to sit down in the lobby. Qi Su Niang was surprised in her heart, but she didn't say much, watching Qi Qiang casually order the signature dishes in the Wuwei Building.

The meal was delivered after a while, and Qi Su Niang raised her hand to get the chopsticks from the chopsticks, and happened to see four or five people walking down the stairs. Qi Su Niang casually swept over the two people in front of her, and was stunned for a moment, it was the fourth elder brother and the personal eunuch Qin Quan'er.

Qin Quan'er's eyes were sharp, and he also saw Qi Su Niang at a glance, and whispered to the fourth elder brother. The fourth elder brother turned his head, looked at Qi Su Niang and Qi Qiang, waved his hand slightly to prevent Qi Su Niang from standing up and saluting, and then turned around.

Qi Su Niang breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and saw Qi Qiang staring at the back of the fourth elder brother, and hurriedly said, "Brother, eat while it's hot." ”

Halfway through the two of them, Qi Qiang suddenly said: "Sister, I have something to do for a while, you wait for me for a while." After that, without waiting for Qi Su Niang to agree, she flashed out of the restaurant.

Qi Su Niang smiled bitterly, so she had to ask for a pot of tea and wait in the restaurant, until the sun was in the west, and there was no one to see, but she heard a shocking gong sound in Gaoyou City, which shocked people's hearts, and the city suddenly became chaotic, and the people upstairs shouted: "The fight has started, the Changzhou Gang and the Gaoyou Gang have fought!"

Qi Su Niang heard the words Gaoyou Gang, and was stunned, knowing that it was the fighting of sailors from all over the Cao Gang. The restaurant was lively for a while, and everyone was talking. Qi Suniang had heard from Wang Dawhip that there were a total of 128 gangs along the Cao River, based on the bustling wharf, all of which were gangs formed by Cao Yun sailors from all over the country.

The sailors are all unemployed and strong, and they are brave and ruthless on weekdays, seeking wealth and food, and each dominates one side. Up to now, the Cao Gang in the nine provinces along the river has 9,999 and a half Cao Gangs, and the Cao Gangs in various places have also begun to slowly merge, divided into Zhili, Anhui, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Songjiang, Changzhou, and the Nine Gangs of the Two Lakes, fighting on the Cao River for the interests of all the time. I don't know what happened today, but the Changzhou Gang next door actually deceived the Jiangsu Gang Gaoyou City.

Qi Su Niang listened to this, thinking about the unexpected appearance of the fourth elder brother, Qi Qiang left alone, and was a little uneasy in her heart, but she heard a commotion, which was even more chaotic than the beginning. She stood up and saw that it was the soldiers of the Gaoyou Zhizhou Yamen who were driving people away. The government took action, and the people who watched the excitement of Pingtou all dispersed in a hurry, and most of them hid back at home, and even Wuweilou was empty for a while.

Qi Suniang's heart jumped suddenly, got up and drove the mule cart full of things to the alley at the back door of Wuwei Building, touched the copper hairpin in her sleeve, re-entered the building, and sat down again in a dark corner. She just thought that if Qi Qiang had nothing to do with this matter, he would come back to look for her, if Qi Qiang had anything to do with it, she couldn't leave alone, he was the only son of Qi's parents, the only root of the Qi family, she had to wait for him to come back and watch him be safe and sound.

The shopkeeper in Wuwei Building, man, looked at Qi Su Niang, but he was silent, and no one stepped forward to catch her. The empty lobby could only hear the crackling of the shopkeeper's abacus.

I don't know how long it took, the city gradually became quiet, until there was silence, but Qi Su Niang's heart was tight, and suddenly saw the fire outside the building, two columns of soldiers rushed in with swords, and the leading leader shouted: "Capture them!" The soldiers rushed to the shopkeeper.

Qi Su Niang had already prepared, and before anyone could enter the door, she slid off the chair and rolled to the dark place under the table, lying low and motionless. There was a fight in the hall, and the men were killed and wounded, but one of them could not escape, and they were all taken aside. Qi Su Niang became more and more afraid to move, and when she heard the assistant leader of the soldiers interrogating the shopkeeper, she knew that the officers and soldiers still believed that this was one of the strongholds of the Gaoyou Gang, so they came to seal it up and arrest the leader.

The shopkeeper was stubborn, and during the torture, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and another group of people walked in. Before he could get started, a person suddenly flew over, and grabbed the table on Qi Su Niang's head with a bang, and grabbed Qi Su Niang with five fingers like hooks.

"Stop, Datu." Qi Su Niang was frightened for a while, and when she heard this, she secretly gasped for air, and when she looked up, the fourth elder brother looked at her coldly. He waved his hand, and the guard Datu pushed Qi Su Niang in front of the fourth elder brother and retreated.

At this time, the leader of the soldiers was already full of panic, and he fell to the ground to ask for sin, Qi Su Niang swallowed her saliva and saluted: "The people's daughter asks for peace for the fourth master." ”

The fourth elder brother looked at Qi Su Niang for a long time, and said with a smile: "You are really not small, if it weren't for the one in Changchun Garden, everyone would have lost their eyes." ”

Qi Su Niang's heart trembled, and said with a smile: "Back to the words of the fourth master, the folk girl is just because of her slow legs and feet, and she can't dodge it for a while, so she ......" But in her heart, it was difficult to hide from this usually delicate and capable elder brother, she only complained that she was living freely and happily in the countryside, but she was less vigilant in the palace at the beginning, knowing that the emperor's elder brother had forgotten to cover it up in the city, but fortunately, she had always been serious and rigorous, and had never taken care of her fourth elder brother, if it was the fourteenth elder brother, I am afraid that she would have kicked it over a long time ago.

The fourth elder brother ignored her anymore, turned around to ask about the confession of the suspect, but he didn't get the news, and immediately frowned, Qin Quan'er immediately led people forward and personally escorted the guys one by one. Rao is Qi Su Niang has seen a lot of life and death, and she can't help but be frightened when she sees this Qin Quan'er's methods, she didn't expect that Qin Shun'er was such a lovely person, and there was such a brother.

Qin Quan'er is really powerful, but with a pillar of incense, some of the guys recruited some people, only saying that someone in the nine gangs of Caohe proposed to set up a gang together, elect the gang leader, and give orders to control the water transportation up and down Caoyun, and there were gangs fighting in the middle, vying for the position of the gang leader, so that there was today's battle.

Qi Su Niang was secretly surprised that the gangs in various places were so powerful, and they dared to be so blatant, it seemed that they were like the underworld in the previous life, and the government was afraid of it. Seeing the gloomy look on the fourth elder brother's face, he knew that he didn't want this Caohe gang to be as proposed.

Qin Quan'er tortured the whereabouts of the altar master of the Jiangsu Gang, although the guy was a ghost crying wolf and still only said that he didn't know, and in the end, he only had half a breath left, crying and begging: "Official, the villain does not know the whereabouts of the altar master, but the villain knows that the identity of a person is not under the altar master." ”

When the fourth elder brother heard this, he nodded slightly, Qin Quan'er let go of the torture instrument in his hand, and the guy gasped a few times, and continued in a weak voice: "It's Qi Sanye who just sat with this girl, I have seen the altar master drink flower wine with him in his private house." ”

Qi Su Niang only felt a buzzing in her head, and she knelt on the ground with a poppy, looked at the fourth elder brother who was staring at her coldly and said in a trembling voice: "Fourth master......" His heart turned sharply, whether to bite to death and deny it, or to cry out for his brother.

She saw that the fourth elder brother's eyes were getting colder, and she knew that she couldn't delay, so she gritted her teeth and was about to speak, but the torches in the building were extinguished at the same time, and the Wuwei Building fell into darkness, and everyone suddenly exclaimed. More than ten guards around the fourth elder brother immediately surrounded the fourth elder brother.

Qi Su Niang's reaction in danger was first-class, she was kneeling, and immediately fell heavily and clinged to the ground. Faintly heard movement in the dark, as if a few guards flew towards the main entrance, as if to observe the movement, suddenly a bow and arrow broke through the air in mid-air, only to hear screams again and again, mixed with angry and panicked shouts, "Take the master away, it's the ordnance used by the Hebiao Army-"

The warning stopped abruptly with several heavy falling sounds, and the guards who watched the movement seemed to be dead. Qi Su Niang's heart beat like a drum, cold sweat flowed, and the word "rebellion" repeatedly roared in her head. The figure shook in the dark, and he could only hear Datu shouting: "A few of you and Gonggong Qin escorted the master to the side door, and the rest came with me to stop the thief!" ”

The fourth elder brother was escorted by the guards to retreat to the side gate not far away, and walked seven or eight steps, and there were still ten steps away from the side door, when he heard a gong, the fire was bright, and suddenly there was a rain of arrows, and the special sharp arrows in countless armies roared. Qi Su Niang saw that Qin Quan'er threw the fourth elder brother to the ground, and the two guards who were blocking in front of the fourth elder brother were hit by several arrows, and they were shot like hedgehogs, screaming and falling to the ground, and the other three rushed to the side door with knives, "Quickly take the master through the back door!" ”

The wind burst out, there were bursts of slashing sounds from the front door and the side door, and it was pitch black in the lobby of Wuwei Building, Qi Su Niang trembled, stretched out her soft right hand to her mouth, and bit it hard, and the bloody and heart-piercing pain in her mouth suddenly made her stop trembling. She swallowed her foam desperately, barely calming down, but secretly complained in her heart, the fourth elder brother was not attacked, and she could still reason with him, but now someone has the audacity to attack and kill the prince, and there is still room for her to reason? Not to mention Qi Qiang, I'm afraid that Chen Yan will be affected and lose his life.

Qi Su Niang vaguely saw that although there were two guards and Qin Quan'er, she couldn't block it for the fourth elder brother, and the fourth elder brother seemed to have been hit by an arrow and fell seven or eight steps in front of her. The sound of slashing outside became more and more fierce, Qi Su Niang secretly gritted her teeth, and groped towards the place where the fourth elder brother fell to the ground.

After a while, sure enough, she touched a big hand that was a little calloused, but well-maintained, and she groped for the jade finger on her hand, and knew that the texture was excellent, more than 100 gold, and she became more and more sure in her heart.

Because the hand was still warm, Qi Su Niang slowly half got up, and dragged the big hand hard, the big hand suddenly tightened, grabbed Qi Su Niang's hand, as if to strangle it, Qi Su Niang was surprised and happy, knowing that the fourth elder brother was still conscious, and endured the pain to explain his identity, the owner of the hand didn't know whether he noticed that he was grabbing a woman's small hand, or fainted from the pain of gravity, and suddenly let go, and there was no movement.

Qi Suniang was anxious and panicked, not knowing what the fourth elder brother was doing, she pushed away Qin Quan'er, who was pressing on the fourth elder brother, and dragged people hard. In the darkness, he saw that the arrow seemed to be hit in the thigh, and the blood flowed like a torrent, so he tore the corner of his clothes, pierced the wound with a strip of cloth, and barely made him bleed less, and then broke the shaft of the arrow, and dragged him to the back door of Wuwei Tower.

Qi Su Niang took advantage of the moonlight to recognize that it was indeed the fourth elder brother, breathed a sigh of relief, carried him hard, and hurriedly carried the fourth elder brother to the mule cart at the entrance of the back door alley, pressed the sack full of goods on him, and the chicken and duck cage blocked the entrance of the carriage, and then found a secluded alley to park, shrank under the mule cart by himself, and prayed that the fourth elder brother would survive the night while waiting for dawn.

Staying up until dawn in the cold wind, the city gate has been opened, but it is a mess, Qi Su Niang can see clearly, a few people who look like sailors in the street have changed into doorman uniforms and stood at the city gate. She was shocked in her heart, but she comforted herself, Qi Qiang is going into private trouble, drinking flowers and wine, playing with money, and hooking up with the Cao Gang, it will not be like this.

But at this time, she didn't dare to take the fourth elder brother back to the official mansion according to her original plan, and saw that the doorman was like in the past, without deliberately checking the cars and horses, so she had the courage to drive the mule cart out of the city gate, and quickly whipped towards the Chen family.
