One

Soon after the beginning of spring, it was reported in Runzhou that the two brothers, Xu Dudu and Xu Jingyou, were killed by Wang Naxiang and others on the moored ferry, and their heads were sent to Chang'an, and Luo Bin Wang jumped into the water to "commit suicide" and so on. Although this is all over, there are still some fish that have slipped through the net, and an even more frantic round-up is about to begin.

At this time, Wang Naxiang and Fang Dongsheng, who had completed the success, as well as the generals who betrayed Xu Dudu, also embarked on the journey back to Chang'an.

"Brother Wang, this time we can be regarded as done, in the future, our brothers will be able to ride a Mercedes-Benz BMW, eat and drink spicy food. Ha--- ha--- ha!" Fang Dongsheng said proudly on horseback.

"But it's not!" Wang Naxiang also got carried away and said, "As soon as the heads of the two brothers, Xu Dudu and Xu Jingyou, arrive in Chang'an, the Empress Dowager Wu will definitely crown you and me with knighthoods." Of course, the benefits of the brothers are indispensable, work hard, and in the future there will be opportunities for you to be promoted and make a fortune, ha---haha--- ha!"

His words not only did not move the soldiers to continue to follow him, but also aroused their rebellion. Suddenly, a junior general in the army stepped forward and asked very dissatisfiedly, "General Wang, didn't we say yes at the beginning! As soon as the task is completed, let us go home, has the general forgotten?"

"You're so bold to talk to us like this, don't you fucking want to live. Ahh

"Of course I want to live," the young general said with tears in his eyes, "since the outbreak of the Great War, all of us have been following you generals in the battle of the saddle and horse, sometimes against Wu Fu Li, and then against Li Fu Wu. It doesn't matter, the main thing is that we hate war, we hate blood and tearing, we have to go home. ”

When the soldiers heard this, they were very emotional, and they all gathered around and said, "Yes, we are going home." ”

"Alright------ alright, be quiet, everyone listen to me. After calming down the quarrel, Wang Naxiang said hypocritically, "If you want to go home, don't you want General Fang and I to go back? You were born and raised by your parents, aren't I and General Fang? You hate war, blood, and tearing up, don't you hate General Fang and me? You are human beings, aren't those of us who are generals human? What are we fighting for? Aren't we just so that one day we can soar to the glory of our ancestors? Besides, what can you do if you are not soldiers? Farming or being bandits? And you should be well aware of what it means to be a deserter. ”

"Yes, you know, you are now the special personal soldiers sent by the imperial court to me and General Wang, but you are not the rabble of the past, and the soldiers should mainly obey orders, you know?" Fang Dongsheng also stepped forward and lobbied vigorously.

Several of the thieves around him also stepped forward to echo and lobby.

Under their intimidation and bewitchment, everyone's dissatisfaction was finally suppressed again. At this moment, a herald rode a fast horse to chase up, holding a golden order, and said breathlessly: "Spread the message of the Queen Mother, Feng, Wang Naxiang is a general who quells the chaos, and the official residence is second-class." Feng, Fang Dongsheng is the deputy general of the co-ordination, and the official residence is three grades. And give, 10,000 taels of gold to reward the three armies. And specially ordered, the two generals immediately led the generals of the headquarters to continue to pursue and suppress Xu Luo's remaining party, and there must be no mistake. ”

"Yes, the ministers are grateful. May the Queen Mother be a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

"Then the Queen Mother, did you say that where those rebellious parties have fled now? Where should we go to chase and suppress?" Fang Dongsheng suddenly asked.

"Oh! By the way, the two generals, according to the Yangzhou side Kuaimalai report, Tang Ao, Cheng Chang and other Xu Luo's rest of the party have now fled to the Zhenjiang area. ”

After Wang Naxiang and Fang Dongsheng saw off the herald, they ordered the troops to change the route of the march and turn around and look for them along the way in the direction of Yangzhou.

Soon Tang Ao, Annie, Mrs. Xu, Zixia, Shang An, Cheng Chang and others will meet Wang Naxiang and Fang Dongsheng again. And even Kang Tai, who hasn't shown up for a long time, is about to appear.

Two

Kang Tai lost his way and even came to Dantu County in Zhenjiang by ghost, this is really a fate to meet thousands of miles away, but there is no chance to meet on the other side.

Kang Tai walked alone in the street market that had been devastated by the war, and Anne's delicate and smiling face always appeared in his mind, recalling the hardships and helplessness found along the way, he wanted to cry without tears.

Although he has not yet found Anne's whereabouts, he will not lose confidence because of this, and he still looks for it without hesitation. He kept telling himself in his heart, "Anne will definitely appear here, I will find her, I must find her, even if I search the whole world, I will find my Anne back." She must be missing me now, and she must be looking for me. I don't know if she's in danger now, it's really worrying!"

He searched the market while thinking about it, but after looking for a long time, there was still no trace of Anne, and his heart was anxious and afraid.

Wang Naxiang and Fang Dongsheng led their so-called special "personal soldiers", and when they passed through Dantu County, they actually received a report from Tanma, saying that those rebellious parties had settled in Dantu County. They stopped their search and turned around and prepared to enter the city. As soon as they entered the county, they used the name of arresting the rebellious party to run rampant and act arbitrarily, but no one dared to take care of it. What is even more odious is that they actually took advantage of their power to privately block the city gate and major transportation arteries, and still expropriated huge profits in the name of investigating and disrupting the party, causing panic among the people in the city all day long.

At this time, Kang Tai had already left the bazaar and went to the outskirts of the city. At the same time, Tang Ao, Mrs. Luo, Mrs. Xu, Xu Chengzhi, Cheng Chang, Wei Siwen and others, since they learned the news of Xu Luo's death, have been sad and indignant, unable to extricate themselves, and have no time to care about what happened outside, especially Anne. Of course, her grief and indignation are not entirely because of Xu Luo's death, the most important thing is because she wants to find Kang Tai, but she doesn't know how to tell everyone, so she feels infinite melancholy and grief.

Zixia saw this, so she stepped forward and asked with concern: "Third sister, what's wrong with you?" Do you want to go to him, but you don't know how to speak, right?"

"How do you know, eldest sister?" asked Anne, a little surprised.

"Fool, you don't need to ask. Zixia pulled Annie aside and said, "The person they are most worried about will naturally be very sad if the person they are most worried about is dead, and this is also a matter of course." But the people who died are not your relatives, so it can be said that they have nothing to do with you, and you are even more sad and sad than them, isn't this abnormal? That's why the eldest sister thinks that you are eighty percent trying to find your sweetheart Kang Tai, but it's not easy to talk to everyone, right?"

"Eldest sister, you are about to become a roundworm in my stomach, and I really can't hide anything from you. Anne smiled shyly and said, "Hey, it's been so long, and I don't know how Kang Tai is doing now, whether he has a place to live, whether he has enough coils, whether he is fat or thin, I don't know anything about this, so I'm really worried." Sister, what should I do?"

"Okay, third sister, you don't have to worry too much, Jiren has his own celestial phenomena, I think he will be fine. After Zixia comforted Anne a few words, she began to comfort Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Luo, Tang Ao and others.

After Wang Naxiang and Fang Dongsheng tossed around in the market for a long time, they suddenly felt a little bored, and wanted to enter the county government to shake their majesty, so they brought a few cronies and entourage to break in. Because Wang Naxiang overheard it in the market, Li County Ling has an only daughter named Li Xiaoyu, who is known as the first beauty in the city. Therefore, he secretly started Xiaoyu's idea.

Just as the two of them were about to stride into the main hall, they were suddenly stopped by an oncoming old man with a full beard, thick eyebrows, wide nose and thick lips, and a silk brocade official uniform. That old man was none other than Li County Ling.

"May I ask why the two generals came to the house?" asked Li Xianling in a tentative tone.

"Go--- go--- go, blind your dog's eyes, dare to block the way of our General Wang and General Fang, I don't think you want to live anymore." An attendant stepped forward and said.

"Don't be rude. Wang Naxiang pushed the attendant and said.

"Yes, General. One of the attendants replied respectfully and stepped aside.

Wang Naxiang suddenly had a pleasant face, and stepped forward with a spring face and asked: "Oh, Lord Li, General Ben is here today, firstly, to disrupt the party, and secondly------ General Ben has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he has not been married yet. I heard that there is an only daughter in the adult family who is the most beautiful woman in the city, I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Three

Li Xianling knew that these two traitors were not good people, but now they were villains, and they were all crowned officials and knights, and they were not easy to provoke! Therefore, he had no choice but to pretend to welcome them into the main hall, and saluted with tea and said: "Oh! General Wang, you are too much of a little girl, and the title of the first beauty in the city is just a false name, the general should not listen to the nonsense of those villains in the market!"

"Hey—— Master Li, isn't it clear if you are asking the young lady to come out and meet you in a false name? Wang Naxiang said naturally.

"That's right, Master Li," Fang Dongsheng squinted his eyes and said in response, "Quickly invite your number one beauty in the city out, so that Brother Wang and I can take a good look." ”

"Does the general really want to see the little girl?" asked Li Xianling in a tentative tone again.

"Of course. Wang Naxiang suddenly squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "The so-called fair lady, the gentleman is so begging! Hurry up and ask for a young lady! General Ben wants to see if those villains in the market are really talking nonsense, Lord Li, don't let General Ben down!"

After listening to what Wang Naxiang said, Li Xianling knew that he, a bachelor, had evil thoughts about his daughter and wanted to use this opportunity to arrest the rebellious party to start a family. In fact, Li County Ling also wanted to be a son-in-law who was a big official, so he saw this opportunity and wanted to get a big backer. In order to catch the appetite of the king, he deliberately refused: "But --- but now the little girl is still young, I'm afraid that I won't serve the general in the future!"

Wang Naxiang smiled lightly and said, "Hey——, Lord Li, you don't have to worry about this, she won't serve General Ben now, and she won't be able to learn it slowly in the future." I heard that Ling Qianjin is a great beauty who looks like a fairy? Why don't you hurry up and ask me to come out and let me wait for you to see and understand, hurry up, General Ben still has important things to do, don't be less interested in General Ben. ”

After Li Xianling listened to Wang Naxiang's words, he revealed his greedy nature. I saw him happily get up and ordered: "Steward Li, go quickly, please come out." ”

"Yes, sir. After Steward Li answered, he was ready to call Xiaoyu. But at this moment, Xiaoyu appeared in front of the hall uninvited. In fact, she had already overheard every word they said outside the door, so she seemed very annoyed, and even stepped forward to refute Li County's order very ignorantly: "Dad, my daughter will never marry someone like him, if she wants to marry------ she will marry you." Hmph!"

Suddenly, Li Xian Ling raised his eyebrows angrily and reprimanded: "Yu'er, don't be rude, come and see General Wang, hurry!"

"I don't want to. Li Xiaoyu resolutely turned his head back, and then stood there motionless without being angry, in order to protest, and the scene became embarrassing for a while. However, this embarrassing scene also gave Wang Naxiang a good opportunity to look at her.

At this time, Wang Naxiang was like a vicious wolf, staring at Xiao Yu back and forth with a pair of eyes with "firelight". Not only that, but in the process of looking, he always sighed involuntarily.

Although this Li Xiaoyu does not have the transcendent demeanor and appearance of Shang An and Zixia, she is also a delicate and refined beauty embryo. She is really beautiful, with double eyelids, willow eyebrows, cherry mouth, jade breasts, and slender waist. The hair of a shawl, the bun is high and slightly tilted to the side, and the part that pours out is inserted with three golden hairpins, all of which are inlaid with plum blossom-shaped ornaments, shining in the sunlight and shining in colorful light. The rouge gouache on the lips and cheeks was evenly applied, and between the two earlobes half-hidden by the long hair hung a pair of glittering gold earrings. Wearing a pink silk skirt, the skirt droops down to the top of the feet, and the whole silhouette is tall and beautiful, which can be described by words such as youth and beauty.

Li Xiaoyu's rebellious personality and beautiful face fascinated Wang Naxiang to the point of being fascinated and unable to extricate himself. Soon, Wang Naxiang involuntarily said something from his mouth to play a round for her.

"Well, there is no need for Lord Li to be angry. After taking a sip of tea, Wang Naxiang said, "Ling Qianjin is not only beautiful, but also has a very good personality! The first in the city, it really lives up to its name! I like it---- I like it." Oh! Master Li, you are really blessed, you have such a precious daughter, are you still afraid that you will not be promoted to an official and make a fortune in the future? Ha---Ha--- ha!"

"Yes! Fang Dongsheng actually said straightforwardly, "Today I will make the decision for you, and this family matter is decided." ”

"No, I don't agree. Li Xiaoyu suddenly turned to face Wang Naxiang, and coldly refused, "Hmph! I will never marry a devil." Even if I want to marry, I will marry a righteous gentleman, not a murderous butcher like you. In the bazaar, I witnessed with my own eyes that you were indiscriminately arresting people and killing innocent people, making the neighbors uneasy and everyone panicking, and you still wanted Miss Ben to marry you, dreaming. ”

"What are you ------ you say?" Fang Dongsheng said angrily, "You really don't know how to fucking lift, let me tell you, you'd better marry General Wang obediently, otherwise your whole family will not be able to eat and walk around." ”

"Hey—— Brother Fang is not angry, and he has something to say slowly!" Wang Naxiang said hypocritically, "Miss may have misunderstood, it is just to arrest the rebellious party, it is a business matter!

"Hmph! ”

"Yu'er, if you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame your father for being unkind to you, get out, I'll be angry. ”

"Hmph, let's go, what's the big deal, Dad, you'll regret it. After saying that, Li Xiaoyu walked out of the lobby angrily and disappeared in front of Li Xianling and Wang Naxiang.

Although Xiaoyu has left, the king is still intoxicated and can't extricate himself.

"Okay------ good! Personality, so individual, General Ben likes her more and more. ”

"The general has won the award------ the award, the little girl has been spoiled by the subordinate and is ignorant, please forgive the general. ”

"Hey—— it doesn't matter, General Ben just likes her temperament. After Wang Naxiang thought about it for a while, he pretended to distinguish between public and private and said, "Oh! Okay, let's talk about business first! According to the report of Tanma, some rebellious elements have fled to your Dantu County recently, so as soon as I entered the city, I blocked the city gate and the major transportation arteries, in order to prevent them from fleeing when they heard the news, Master Li must cooperate with us and others!"

"Of course------ of course. Li Xianling bowed and said, "Please rest assured, general, none of them can escape." ”

Just as their conversation was in full swing, the wronged Miss Li sneaked out of the back door alone with a large package and some gold, silver and jewelry. She originally wanted to simply go out of the city and stay away from here, but because the city gate was blocked by officers and soldiers, she couldn't get out for a while, so she chose to hide temporarily in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city.

Night was about to fall, and Tang Ao, Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Luo, Cheng Chang, Xue Peng, and Wei Siwen were gradually liberated from the pain of Xu Luo's death. Just as they were about to discuss what to do next, the situation outside became even more tense.

In order to catch them all as soon as possible, Wang Naxiang actually asked Fang Dongsheng to lead his troops to search for the party from house to house, while he himself personally led his troops to guard the city gate, closely checking and waiting for the fish to take the bait.

At this moment, Fang Dongsheng actually took five hundred elite soldiers, like bandits, and searched the inn where Tang Ao and them were staying one by one.

"What's going on, why is it so noisy outside?" asked Anne, distraught.

"Oh, leave it alone, it's been like this a lot for the past two days, what's the fuss!" Shang An replied naturally.

"No, I'm afraid this time will be different. Zixia suddenly frowned as if she had noticed something.

"What's wrong, sister?"

"We are surrounded. ”

"No way, absolutely impossible. Tang Ao was shocked and asked, "All of us have come here in disguise along the way, and we have never revealed our identities, how can we be surrounded by them? Also, how did they find here?"

"It seems that we all have gone wrong in some way. Wei Siwen said with trepidation, "Perhaps, our identity and whereabouts have already been exposed, but we ourselves have not noticed it because we are busy looking for the governor and evading the pursuit of the officers and soldiers." ”

"Hey, we have too many people, our goals are too big, and it's not like ordinary business travel, can we not make them suspicious?" Du Qiuren said with a sigh.

"Since everyone's identities have already been exposed, why don't they round up before we enter the city, and have to wait until we enter the city before they act?" Xue Peng asked puzzled.

"Maybe they're trying to trap us all in the city first, and then find a way to catch us all. Wei Siwen said with a frown.

"Hmph, since that's the case, it's better to go out and fight them. With that, Cheng Chang rushed to the door with his brothers with a big knife in hand, but before he could get close to the door, he was blocked by Tang Ao and Anne.

"Wait, don't be impulsive, maybe things aren't as bad as everyone thinks. Tang Ao stood at the door and said.

"Yes! My eldest brother is right. Anne said with some absent-mindedness, "Impulse is the devil, don't be impulsive, you must use your brains more in everything! Also, as long as my two sisters are here, even if they rush up now, what can they do, don't mess with yourself!"

"Hey, in fact, our two sisters don't want to get involved in this bloody storm, but now for the sake of the third sister, we can't care so much. You are good friends of the third sister, and of course good friends of our two sisters. Zixia also stepped forward and said, "The third sister is right, don't be impulsive, as long as we work together to go with the sky, their conspiracy will not succeed." ”

"Hey! I'm waiting for you. Cheng Chang came to Zixia, Shang An, Tang Ao, Lin and Anne and gave a fist salute and said, "What we are waiting for has nothing to do with you, but now we have swept you all in, which really makes me feel sorry for it! If there is no help from you along the way, I am afraid that we will already become prisoners of the imperial court." ”

"Brother Cheng is right, we all owe you too much, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pay it off in the next life!" Mrs. Xu said with tears in her eyes, "Brother Tang, you have given up fame and fortune for the sake of dedication and King Bin and our orphans and widows. The two gods have escorted us orphans and widows all the way to this day, and they must have given up many opportunities to travel all over the world and become immortals. Her Royal Highness the Princess, who is even more of a daughter, but in order to save us all from danger, she did not hesitate to give up her noble identity and live a life without a fixed place in Tibet. We really can't repay your kindness!"

"Sister-in-law, isn't it out of sight for you to say this. Tang Ao said, "We are a family, we don't talk about two families, everything that the younger brother pays is voluntary, how can we say anything like repaying the favor?"

"Yes, sister-in-law, you're too outward-looking. Anne stepped forward to hold Mrs. Xu's hand and said, "I'm not a princess anymore, just call me Sister An in the future, we're a family now!"

Six

After discussing for a moment in the small guest room, everyone decided to hand over the command and decision-making power to Zixia, and she led everyone to deal with the pursuers outside.

"Since you trust me so much, please follow the arrangement in all your actions, and do not act recklessly. Zixia said naturally.

"Rest assured, God-man, my brothers and I will absolutely obey the God-man's arrangement and never act recklessly. Cheng Chang said sincerely.

All the others stepped forward and said goodbye to their recklessness.

"Okay, now everyone listen to my arrangement," Zixia called everyone to the square table and said confidently, "After a while, my monk and Shang'er will use the phantom enchantment to hide Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Luo, Xu Chengzhi, Sister-in-law Tang and the third sister, and then the rest of us will resume their status as merchants, sit at the square table and talk and laugh leisurely, no matter what situation they encounter, they must be as steady as Mount Tai and not be impatient, as if nothing has happened, and the rest will be handled by my monk Shang'er." I hope that everyone can cooperate with our two sisters to perform this scene well, and truly achieve 'soldiers without blood, soldiers without fighting.' ’”

"Don't worry, I'll fully cooperate with the two gods in this scene. After Tang Ao answered, he prepared with everyone.

As soon as Anne heard that she was going to hide her, and that there was no role for her in this whole good scene, she was a little unhappy, so she stepped forward and asked with a bitter face: "Sister, why are you hiding me? Do you think I will smash this scene?"

"Oh, don't get me wrong, third sister, the eldest sister didn't mean that. Zixia held Anne's jade hand and explained softly, "The reason why the eldest sister wants to hide you and Mrs. Xu is that there are two reasons, one is that she is afraid that the people present will be mixed and will make the enemy suspicious. Second, I am afraid that you will lose your mind in front of your respective enemies and make some drastic actions. Won't everything we've done be in vain?"

"Eldest sister, are Fang Dongsheng and Wang Naxiang coming from that day?" Anne suddenly asked emotionally.

"How did you --- know they were coming?" Zixia asked in surprise.

"Of course, I heard it from what the eldest sister just said!" Anne suddenly asked with her hands caressing her red face, puzzled, "I don't know why, I can always feel inexplicably, a huge threat is now approaching here, how can this feeling become stronger and stronger? and how can my body be boiling? How can this be? ”

"Congratulations to your third sister, your Ren Du Zhongjiao vein is about to be washed away by the yin and yang round divine power in your body, it's great. Zixia said ecstatically.

"What kind of divine power?" Anne asked, and then suddenly asked, "Eldest sister, do you mean that I will have superpowers like you and your second sister in the future?"

"So to speak!" replied Zixia.

"Okay, sister, don't discuss this with the third sister, they're going to rush in, we have to prepare early. With that, Shang An stepped forward and grabbed Anne's hand and reminded her, "Remember, you can use this opportunity to breathe the yin and yang round divine power in your body, and it is best to raise it to the limit." ”

"Okay, third sister, you sit in front of the bed with Mrs. Xu and them, get ready, your second sister and I are going to cast a spell. Zixia also stepped forward and interjected.

"Ha--- ha--- ha! You don't have to prepare any more, this scene is over. The familiar and creepy ghost cry of the black dragon came from outside the door.

"Oh no, the beast is here again. Zixia conjured a purple light sword and said.

"Who?" Shang An asked suspiciously.

"Black Dragon. Zixia replied softly.

"Impossible, wasn't that evil beast sealed the Yutang Acupoint by me with the 'Demon Vajra Needle', how could he recover so quickly?" Shang An asked in disbelief.

"Didn't expect it, right?" Suddenly, the door was kicked open by the black dragon, and behind it was a large group of soldiers armed with knives and guns, but it was not it that took the lead, but Fang Dongsheng.
