Chapter Forty-Six: Smelling the Fragrance Sect Master
"Be careful, sir!"
Ye Changqing's exclamation came from behind Yang Yingqian.
The kick in the room just now made Ye Changqing relax his vigilance against the Wang Daoist in front of him, but he didn't expect that this Wang Daoist also had martial arts, just after Shen Junyi came out, everyone thought that they had controlled the situation and relaxed their vigilance, but they didn't expect that Wang Daoist took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed Ye Changqing fiercely at this time.
Fortunately, Ye Changqing's martial arts are far above this Wang Daoist, and although the incident happened suddenly, he also avoided this approaching stab.
Unexpectedly, this Wang Daoist only made a false slap, and after forcing Ye Changqing back, he turned around sharply and stabbed the dagger into the back of Yang Yingqian's heart, who was facing away from this side at this time.
Ye Changqing reacted immediately, but Daoist Wang had already rushed out of the distance of four or five steps, Ye Changqing wanted to stop it, but it was too late, so he could only shout a warning to Yang Yingqian.
Yang Yingqian also noticed the horror in Shen Junyi's eyes, and turned around suddenly, and the hideous face of Daoist Wang was already close at hand.
With Yang Yingqian's reaction, it was too late to dodge at this time, but in that case, Shen Junyi behind him would be the first to bear the brunt, thinking of this, Yang Yingqian waved the wooden stick in his hand and greeted Daoist Wang.
With a snort, the long sword penetrated from the back of Daoist Wang's back and penetrated through his chest, looking at the long sword passing through his chest, Daoist Wang fell to the ground with unwilling eyes.
The long stick in Yang Yingqian's hand stopped in mid-air before it could be swung, but after all, it was Ye Changqing who saved him, jumped up in the air and threw the long sword in his hand like a javelin, skewered this royal Taoist into a sugar gourd.
Seeing the Taoist Wang who had fallen to the ground and died, Yang Yingqian was also afraid for a while, if he really had a hard fight with him just now, it would definitely be a lose-lose ending.
At this moment, there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves outside the courtyard, followed by the anxious voice of a male duck.
"Quick, surround this courtyard for this official, and the rest of the people rush in with the official, you must not run away from this group of rebels!"
Then there was a sound of steel knives unsheathed, wrapped in a chaotic sound of footsteps, from far and near, a bearded man wearing a seven-rank civil official uniform, holding a robe in one hand, and a steel knife in the other, screaming and rushing in, followed by a group of officials and officers and soldiers.
Just after rushing into the courtyard, the bearded man was stunned, except for a corpse lying on the ground that was strung into a sugar gourd by a sword, there were more than two dozen chaotic people who were squatting in the corner with their hands tied.
This bearded man was Qu Yiyang, the official of Caozhou Mansion, and after Yang Yingqian's personal guard broke through, he took his official and rode straight to Caozhou Mansion for help.
When the Caozhou prefect learned that a Beijing camp general was actually besieged by a group of cult rebels under his rule, he was immediately frightened that the three souls lost their seven souls, and hurriedly ordered Qu Yiyang, the governor of Caozhou, to rush to Lijiayu with the officials of Caozhou Mansion to rescue, fearing that the troops would not be enough, and transferred 400 officers and soldiers from the barracks.
Seeing that the situation in the courtyard had been controlled, Qu Yiyang waved his hand and asked his officers and soldiers to escort those people who smelled incense, straightened the official hat on his head and walked in front of Yang Yingqian and bowed his hand slightly.
"Qu Yiyang, the official of Caozhou Mansion, has seen General Yang!"
Although this Qu Yiyang is a civil official, he is strong, and he has a long beautiful hair on his face, if he is not wearing civilian clothes, it means that he is a general and someone can trust him, although this Qu Yiyang is official position is lower than Yang Yingqian, but it is not under his control, people come all the way to the rescue, Yang Yingqian naturally has to be polite.
"Lord Qu is polite, if it weren't for Lord Qu's starry night rescue today, I'm afraid I would have fallen into this Li Jiayu, but it's a pity that this thief chief is dead, and it's a little difficult to track down the forces behind this."
When Qu Yiyang heard this, he turned his head to look at Daoist Wang who was lying on the ground and was already dead, and he couldn't help but have a trace of sadness on his face.
This Wenxiang Sect must have been operating in Caozhou for a long time, and the officials up and down in Caozhou did not even notice it in the slightest, if Yang Yingqian entered Beijing to join them, it would be inevitable for the prefect to treat him for the crime of negligence.
As if seeing the scruples in Qu Yiyang's heart, Yang Yingqian smiled slightly.
"These cult demons are used to disguise before the incident, and it is difficult for the government to find out, but today since they have already revealed their feet, Lord Qu still has to uproot these demons as soon as possible, so as not to cause a catastrophe!"
After all, Yang Yingqian was just passing by here, and he couldn't interfere with the power of the magistrate, and it was okay to remind him of this matter, but after this time, Wen Xiangjiao might be more cautious in his actions in the future, and it might not be so easy to catch them again.
Seeing that Yang Yingqian did not mean to interfere too much, Qu Yiyang was overjoyed, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Lord Yang, don't worry, the next official will report to the mansion as soon as he returns to the state city, and tomorrow he will send someone to help investigate the traces of the demon in Quanzhou." ”
After cleaning up the things here, Yang Yingqian and they naturally had no reason to stay here any longer, so they went back to Caozhou with Qu Yiyang, and when they left, Yang Yingqian also deliberately showed his identity to Li Jun, this businessman is still righteous enough, and it still takes great courage for him to dare to stand up in the emergency situation just now.
Li Jun bet on the right treasure, he was very happy, especially Yang Yingqian promised before leaving that he would participate in the business of Caozhou Lingyan Pavilion, which made him even more excited, although tobacco is a new thing, it has great profits, and if he can do this business, his family property will increase several times.
At this time, the snow had stopped, and the team with torches was like a winding fire dragon on the official road, and the feet of the officers and soldiers made a creaking sound on the snow.
Shen Junyi was sitting in the carriage at this time, but her heart was still immersed in the incident just now, especially the moment when Yang Yingqian blocked in front of her without hesitation, it seemed that her feelings for Yang Yingqian had changed a little.
Seeing that Shen Junyi didn't say a word, Yang Yingqian thought that Shen Junyi was still a little scared in his heart, so he said with relief: "Don't think about today's things anymore, so as not to fall into your heart, with me by your side in the future, I will never put you in danger again." ”
Shen Junyi couldn't help but feel warm in her heart when she heard this, although she didn't speak, a light smile on her face revealed her state of mind at this time.
At this time, there was a glimmer of fire in a cave not far from Lijiayu.
A black-clad masked man stood facing the wall, and behind him knelt a masked man who was also dressed in black.
"Sect Master, this time Lord Wang Xiang died, and these sect members we developed in Lijiayu have also folded in, what should we do next?"
The black man standing facing the wall sneered when he heard this.
"This Wang Sen is my master's son who has never taken me seriously, I have long warned him that he just doesn't listen to a knife on his head, and this time he is also to blame!"
After the man in black finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the man in black kneeling in front of him, and his eyes flashed.
"Now we are not fully prepared, if we let that surnamed Yang die here, it will inevitably attract the encirclement and suppression of the government, if I don't see the opportunity quickly today, the great cause of the Holy Sect will be destroyed in the hands of this waste!"
Seeing that there was still a hint of anger in the sect leader's tone, the man in black lowered his body to the ground again.
"Fortunately, Yang Yingqian's official position is not high, and he only entered Beijing through Caozhou, and he will not be able to track down Wang Sen once he dies, and he can't do anything with those rice buckets in Caozhou Mansion alone!"
Speaking of this, the sect leader's eyes flashed slightly.
"Now is not the time for us to get into trouble, tell the brothers below not to be active in the near future, and wait until the rumors have passed before planning big things, such as today's mediocrity and incompetence, if we seize the opportunity, this world will be ours!"
At this time, a greedy and fierce gaze shot out of the eyes of the man in black........
