Chapter 42 Midnight Hall [Fourth Update, Recommendation and Contract Application for Sanjiang]

Hua Zhongxian had great ambitions and excellent psychological quality, he wrote ten letters for help with his five-fingered sound right hand, and arranged for Fang Qiushui to send distress letters to the Inner Palace of the Imperial City of the Imperial Capital, the Great Xuanguo Military Department, the Green City Governor's Mansion, the Bacheng Chief's Mansion, the Jiangcheng Chief's Mansion, the Mocheng Chief's Mansion, the Shuangyang City Chief's Mansion, the Zixincheng Chief's Mansion, the Kaicheng Chief's Mansion, the South Gate Guandu Command Division and the Yuanyang Mountain Daozong Palace.

Fang Qiushui paid a total of three hundred taels of silver to the Flying Eagle Gang Yuanyang City. Fang Qiushui has gone bankrupt in order to advance communication expenses.

Hua Zhongxian, with less than fifty guards and less than thirty servants and soldiers, sent Ping Kehu to infiltrate Yuanyangwei to find the old department, while gathering everyone to discuss countermeasures. Immediately after his return, Pinker Tiger joined the ranks of discussing countermeasures.

At this time, everyone was discussing in the middle hall how to escape, or how to regain the military power of Yuanyang Wei and the city defense battalion, how to win the support of other directors and inspectors of Yuanyang City, and how to resist the attack of the Yuanyang City Merchant Gang and Ma Baiyu.

To win or not, we must plan and then act.

After everyone discussed, they thought that the Yuanyang City Governor's Mansion, the surrounding Inspection Division, the Greentown Governor's Mansion, the Zixincheng Governor's Mansion, and the South Gate Pass Command Division might all be Ma Baiyu's forces, and the Shuangyang City Governor's Mansion and the Shuangyang City Business Gang were even more unreliable. Only the Lord's Mansion near the Overlord will remain neutral as usual.

Because Hua Zhongxian, as the chief of Yuanyang City and the son of Xuanming, a scholar of the palace, it is impossible for him to hide in the back house, so the women, children, old and weak will be concentrated in the middle hall to facilitate centralized protection. Linghu was also taken to a small room in the atrium, where he was guarded by a white-armored guard captain.

It was getting late, and after dinner, news came from the central hall that women and children from more than a dozen or so must go to the central hall as soon as possible to gather for the night, and they were not allowed to leave the central hall until the reinforcements arrived.

Li Xiao, Fang Ya, Fang Chengyang, Ping Jun, and Ping Hudong followed the Fang family and the rest of the Ping family to the middle hall full of candles, and like everyone else, they consciously spread bedding in the corner and at the base of the wall away from the screen, and sat on the spot.

The atrium, though large, was also crowded with people, and the idle ladies and children chatted with each other, and the chatter soon turned into a buzz, and the waves of sound rose higher and higher.

Suddenly, a thunderclap rang out, "Shut up, be quiet." Fang Qiushui said, "You are all quiet, the main matter is here, you are not allowed to speak." ”

There was silence, and suddenly a child's loud cry rang out. The silence in the atrium frightened the child, and the child's mother hurriedly whispered to persuade him.

The frolicking around him stopped, and Hwa Jong-hyun immediately fell asleep tiredly. Green tea and black tea were also spread on the side of the temporary bed, lying flat as if sleeping instead of sleeping.

It was full of people, and it was very stuffy. Li Xiao is from the Ping family on the left, next to him is Pinghudong's eldest brother, on the right is the Fang family, and next to him is Fang Ya's mother.

Li Xiao listened to Fang Ya and her mother whispering to each other, thinking of Fang Ya's beauty in her mind, with black hair, fair cheeks, bright eyes, small nose, red lips, narrow long skirt, slightly convex breasts, moth eyebrows and teeth, a voice as sweet as honey, and a clever smile, which had a unique taste in Li Xiao's heart.

Later, Li Xiao felt very tired and drowsy, and his brain was sleepy, so he fell asleep on his side.

Li Xiao's whole body was already soaked, he was dreaming, he dreamed that he was running in the desert, he ran and floated up, then fell on the sand, and then had to keep running until he floated up again, and landed on the sand again.

He couldn't stay in the sand, as long as he stopped, he would fall into the sand, so he had to keep running and floating, Li Xiao felt that he was about to lose his strength, he wanted to find some water to drink, "A crow is thirsty, looking for water everywhere to drink." "But I couldn't find it.

Li Xiao was hot and thirsty, and finally exhausted, lowered his head and plunged into the sand, swallowed by the desert.

A dream is an individual experience that a person experiences during sleep, including sounds, sights, touch, and even smell.

When a person wakes up, there are no more dreams. Li Xiao woke up in shock, he clearly remembered the scene in the dream, it was so realistic, it seemed as if it had just happened.

Li Xiao squinted his eyes, and under the candlelight, he was taken aback when he saw Fang Ya sleeping next to him. Fang Ya was lying on her back, breathing heavily, and it seemed that she was still drooling, Li Xiao smiled knowingly, she didn't know why Fang Ya ran to her side and fell asleep, her sleeping appearance was so ugly.

Li Xiao lay on his side next to Fang Ya, and squeezed Fang Ya's little hand tremblingly, it was very slippery and soft, the temperature of the little hand was lower than that of Li Xiao's hand, and it was a little soft and cold.

Li Xiao looked at her fair face, raised eyebrows from low to high, and long and slightly curled eyelashes, and couldn't help but think of the willow eyebrows of the second girl, and he felt sad and a little sad in his heart.

He let go of Fang Ya's jade hand and said in his heart: I must find the second girl and Aunt Li. Ma Baiyu, this bastard, curses you to go to hell early.

It was late at night, and the candles in the room had burned out.

Suddenly, a masked man in black came in over the wall in the courtyard of the front hall, and a gatekeeper at the front door shouted: "What person, everyone, pay attention to ......" Before the words were finished, the gatekeeper had already cut his throat by the man in black who was rubbing close, and the gatekeeper covered his throat, blood spurted out, where could he cover it?

The other six gatekeepers drew their swords and shouted in their mouths, alerting the white-armored guards not far away that the assassin had appeared.

Before they could move, several of the closer, white-armored guards heard the gatekeeper's shouts when they were shot in the back by an arrow from behind the masked black-clad assassin riding on the wall.

The six gatekeepers shouted, and after only one round of fighting with the three black-clad assassins who had besieged them, they were killed on the spot.

One after another, people in black came in over the wall, and several people in black quickly opened the door, and Phoenix, the old man, and Ding Mao rushed in from the gate with forty or fifty masked black-clothed people.

Sixty or seventy black-clothed men entered directly from the front door of the Inspection Division, which shows that Zhang Yifeng has a solid chance of winning this attack.

Yuanyang City Merchant Gang Zhangfu.

In the main hall, the candlelight is shining. The table was full of all kinds of fine wine and delicacies, and the two leaders of the Erzi City Merchant Gang were eating and drinking in the middle of the night. The Yuanyang City Business Gang advocates that Yifeng is Phoenix's godfather, and Chen Juliang, the leader of the Shuangyang City Business Gang, is Phoenix's father-in-law.

Zhang Yifeng and Chen Juliang were drinking, listening to music, and watching solo dances, and the two praised the musicians and soloists in the hall.

Musicians, Ozawa, Wu Zhenzhen.

Soloist, dancer, Chen dancer.

Shiyang Town Market Inspection Division.

Several people had been killed on the floor of the front hall, and several of them were white-armored guards who had been killed by arrows.

Although the white-armored guards led by Zhu Yaoting are all strong in martial arts, the black-clothed assassins are also masters in the late stage of cohesion, the two teams are exactly one black and one white, and they are fighting with each other at the door of the front hall, and there is no melee, from time to time there are weak and poor people who are cut to the ground by the other party, the dead are quiet, and the wounded wail.

Zhu Yaoting, who was in his thirties, was calm and calm, commanding more than 30 white-armored guards to conduct defensive battles.

Fifty-year-old Zhu Dabei was mixed with the white-armored guards, the enemy was not injured enough, he was not left to protect himself, and he was already "difficult to ride a tiger", he originally just wanted to follow Fang Qiushui and Du Liangzhi to make a career, seek an upward ladder, get a promotion and a salary increase, and seal his wife and son, but he didn't want to come to the desperate situation of "I don't know if I'm dead, and I can't take care of my family".

Almost all the people who slept in the atrium were awake. Several children howled and cried, and it was difficult for children in troubled times to grow up.

Many women and children were shivering, but the elderly seemed extremely calm.

A new candle was lit, and the faint light calmed the crowd somewhat.

Listening to the shouts of killing, shouting, and screaming, Li Xiao was already a little numb. Fang Ya's mother returned to Fang Ya and took Fang Ya away, but Fang Ya was still asleep. Li Xiao was stunned when she saw Fang Ya being taken away from her side.
