Chapter 976: Assassination
Pen~fun~pavilionwww.biquge.inforeadx;? In the evening of the same day, Shangguan Xiu, Jiang Leopard and others went to the largest inn in the city, Xiangyulou,
Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei entered the inn first, walked around inside, and then walked out quickly, and said to Shangguan Xiu, who was waiting in the carriage: "Brother Xiu, the environment of this inn is not bad, the room is big enough, and it is also very clean,"
Shangguan Xiu lowered his eyes and said, "Then wrap up the Xiangyu Building and act as a temporary hotel,"
Qingcheng's hotel is too small and dilapidated, and it can't accommodate many people like Shangguanxiu.
"Yes," Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei agreed,
At this time, the shopkeeper of the inn had already come out, and he was trembling and kneeling aside, not daring to raise his head, after the Feng army entered the city, he did not burn and loot, but the reputation of the Feng army in Ningnan was too bad, and the people still had a strong sense of fear of the wind army.
Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei both walked to the shopkeeper, dragged him up from the ground, and said in a deep voice with an expressionless face: "Shopkeeper, our general wants to charter your inn, quote a price,"
"Don't dare, don't dare," where did the shopkeeper dare to quote, he was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again, and his head shook like a rattle,
Seeing this, Xiao Jue took out a dozen silver tickets, took out one of them, slapped it on the chest of the shopkeeper, and said: "This is five hundred taels of silver, if it is not enough, you can find me again,"
After speaking, he waved his hand to the wind soldiers around him and shouted, "Clear all the idle people in the inn,"
"Yes," all the soldiers of the Wind Army shouted in unison, and one by one they strode into the inn with their fire guns,
The shopkeeper of the inn hurriedly grabbed the silver ticket attached to his chest, picked it up and looked, the shopkeeper was about to cry, and there were a few big characters clearly written on the silver ticket.
This is the silver ticket of the Wind Country Sitong Silver Number, he has to run to the Wind Country to exchange the silver ticket for silver, with the support of Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei, Shangguan Xiu slowly walked out of the carriage,
When he passed by the shopkeeper, he saw that he was still looking down at the silver ticket, and his facial features were about to be pulled together, he smiled and said: "The shopkeeper doesn't have to worry about not being able to exchange the silver in the future, and it won't be long before the Sitong silver number of the Wind Country will open a branch in Ningnan,"
"Yes, yes, yes," the shopkeeper dared to show the slightest dissatisfaction in front of Shangguan Xiu, nodded again, bowed again, and waved his hand forward again and again, and said with a smile on his face: "General, please inside, please hurry up inside,"
The shopkeeper is well-informed, although he doesn't know Shangguan Xiu, but just looking at the Feng Army's respectful attitude towards him, he can also judge that he is the one with the biggest official position in the Feng Army.
Walking into the inn, there was a lot of shouting inside, and many guests who lived in Xiangyulou were dragged out of the room by the Feng soldiers, and they couldn't help but rush out.
The shopkeeper's face was ugly, and he kept bowing and apologizing to the guests who were forcibly kicked out, and said in a loud voice: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, everyone, this store has been contracted by the military masters, and all the fees in the small shop are free, please stay in another inn,"
There are arrogant guests who dare not provoke the wind army, but they don't plan to let go of the shopkeeper.
The two burly men blushed with a red face, with the smell of wine, walked to the front of the shopkeeper, grabbed him by the collar, and shouted angrily: "Damn, Lao Tzu lives well, why drive Lao Tzu away, you think it's all over if you don't have to live in the house, Lao Tzu tells you, this matter is not over, you have to compensate us for the fucking silver......"
Before the big man finished speaking, the wind army walked quickly from the side, picked up the fire gun, and smashed it on the big man's head, the big man was smashed with a strange scream, and fell to the ground.
In just a few moments, the big man was beaten and covered in blood, and fell to the ground, dying.
Seeing this, another big man roared angrily, rushed forward, and pushed the beating wind army away, and the wind army staggered back a few steps, couldn't stand, and sat on the ground,
Seeing that his comrades were beaten, the surrounding wind army was gone, and they swarmed up, picked up the fire gun, and smashed the two big men indiscriminately, and after a short time, the two big men had become two bloody people, and were dragged out of the inn by the wind army like a dead dog, and threw out,
Immediately afterwards, several wind army pawns brought buckets and carefully rinsed the blood stains on the ground.
Under the forced expulsion of the wind army, there was chaos in the inn for half a meal, and then gradually quieted down.
Outside the inn, the wind army is three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, the huge inn is surrounded by water, and the inside of the inn is full of soldiers and soldiers, and the guard is strict.
After having dinner in the inn, Shangguan Xiu and Jiang Leopard and others sat in the room chatting,
Now, the battle reports of the wind army have come one after another, and the other three wind armies attacking Gucheng, Qucheng, and Liangcheng have all gone smoothly and have not encountered too strong resistance.
After reading the battle reports, Jiang Leopard asked with a smile: "Brother Xiu, we have captured a lot of prisoners of the Ningnan Army this time, what should we do with them?"
Referring to those local army prisoners of war, Shangguan Xiu also smiled and said: "If there are those who are willing to join our army, they will be recruited and formed into a righteous army, and those who are not willing to join our army should not be embarrassed for them, give them some entanglement, and send them home,"
Jiang Leopard had no objection to Shangguan Xiu's decision, he nodded and responded: "Yes,"
"By the way, transfer the Eighth and Ninth Corps of Liangcheng to Qingcheng as soon as possible, if it is clear that the information provided by Jiang Han is true, I will lead the Fifth, Sixth, Eighth and Ninth Corps to attack Fengyuan County and take Changxing City directly," Shangguan Xiu said indifferently,
"Yes, Brother Xiu," Jiang Leopard agreed, and then asked, "Will the main force of the Ningnan Army in Qianlong City take advantage of the gap between our army to attack Fengyuan County and counterattack Qingcheng and Liangcheng,"
Once Qingcheng and Liangcheng are both lost, it is equivalent to cutting off the route of their own retreat, and at that time, their four corps will be trapped in Fengyuan County.
Shangguan Xiu lowered his eyes and said quietly: "I have carefully studied the battle report of Mingshui County during this time, Liao Ye, the right general of Ningnan, this person is calm and never rushes into battle, our army sneaked up on the four cities of Gu, Qu, Qing and Liang, obviously rushing to cut off the logistics supply of the Ningnan Army, and wanted to trap the Ningnan Army to death in Mingshui County, our army suddenly left Qingcheng, Liangcheng, entering Fengyuan County, with Liao Ye's person, he will inevitably think that our army is using a trick and deliberately lead him to take the initiative to attack, he does not dare to act rashly, and when he understands the true intentions of our army, at that time, our army has already returned triumphantly with silver,"
Shangguan Xiu did not participate in a series of battles between the Feng Army and the Ningnan Army in Mingshui County, but his evaluation of Liao Ye was three points.
Liao Ye is a person, indeed steady, and his fighting style is also very distinct, he is good at defending but not good at attacking, the wind army is against him, and the battle of taking the initiative to attack basically did not take advantage, but it was several counterattacks of the Ningnan army, and the wind army won a complete victory, killing the Ningnan army and losing countless soldiers.
Jiang Leopard rubbed his chin and muttered thoughtfully: "With Liao Ye's tortoise beating nature, if our army suddenly invades Fengyuan County, in a short period of time, he may not dare to attack rashly,"
"However," Shangguan Xiu's eyes suddenly flashed with a fine light, and he said faintly: "It is inevitable that there will be accidents, so I have to guard against them,"
He was talking, suddenly, he heard a sudden muffled sound outside the window, and then, the window paper was pierced, and a stray bullet flew from the window, and with a snap, it hit the wall behind Shangguan Xiu, and the wall was made a black hole, Shangguan Xiu sat on the collapse, his body did not move, and his eyes did not blink.
Jiang Leopard, Xiao Jue, and Wu Yufei were all shocked, and the three of them shouted in unison: "There are assassins," while speaking, Jiang Leopard jumped to the window and smashed the window with one kick.
He subconsciously lowered his head, and a missile flew over his head, and the leopard was furious, and shouted at the wind army outside the window: "Arrest the assassin," and as he spoke, he covered his spirit armor, drew his sword, jumped out of the window, and rushed straight in the direction where the gunfire came,
Not long after the leopard left, the sound of firearms outside the room was connected, and the roars of the wind army came and went, Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei glanced at each other, and the former said: "Yufei, you protect Brother Xiu, I'll go out to see the situation,"
"Be careful,"
"Understood," Xiao Jue drew his knife and rushed out of the room,
There was a gunman attacking outside, Wu Yufei didn't dare to be careless, he wanted to blow out the candles in the house, looked down at Shangguan Xiu on the map, waved his hand at her casually, and said, "You don't have to turn off the lights,"
"But Brother Xiu, the assassins outside have muskets......"
"The marksmanship is too poor, obviously it is a raw hand, and there is only one possibility to give the musket to a new hand to use,"
"Tune the tiger away from the mountain," Wu Yufei reacted,
But as soon as she finished speaking, she heard someone outside the window shouting, "The wind ghost is really cunning," and as she spoke, a white shadow jumped in from the window, and at the same time, five large holes suddenly broke in the roof, and five spiritual cultivators jumped into the house along the hole.
Wu Yufei didn't think about it, the saber was unsheathed, and a knife swept out, the narrow spirit wave roared and slashed at the other party, and the six spirit cultivators who broke into the house were not ordinary people, one of them waved the spirit sword in his hand outward, shattering the spirit wave, he ignored Wu Yufei, and rushed straight to Shangguan Xiu, and at the same time stabbed with a sword, took his throat, and shouted: "The wind ghost accepts his life,"
The opponent's sword was ruthless and fast, menacing, Wu Yufei was shocked, his figure suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, the person had appeared on the assassin's side, and the spirit knife was cut out, cutting at the opponent's waist,
But the assassin didn't seem to see the spirit knife she swept over, that is, he didn't close the sword to block, and he didn't have any intention of dodging, the spirit sword in his hand still stabbed straight at Shangguan Xiu,
When Chang,
At the moment when the spirit knife was about to cut the assassin's waist, another assassin jumped forward and blocked Wu Yufei's killing move with the spirit sword.
The latter's gaze always fell on the map in front of him, but when the tip of the sword was less than three inches away from his throat, he suddenly raised his hand and clamped the tip of the spirit sword with two fingers.
Don't look at his movements very casually, but if you look closely at his two fingers, you will find that on his fingers, there is actually a layer of bright silver metal.
In this matter, his two fingers were like an iron tong, clamping the body of the spirit sword tightly, and the assassin's sword could not be pierced in, and it could not be pulled out.
The corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth raised, his fingers shook suddenly, and he heard a crisp click, the sword body of the spirit sword suddenly broke, Shangguan Xiu held the short sword, his fingers flicked outward lightly, and the broken sword flew out, turning into a flash of lightning in the air, hitting the assassin's chest,
