"Large-scale fighting?" Xie Bao felt a little dazed, and for a while he didn't understand what the other party meant, and he asked puzzledly, "Are you saying that there is a war on the street?" ”

"No, no, no, it's not a war." The lieutenant officer himself felt a little uncomfortable, and said word by word: "It seems to be ...... It seems that two local gangs in Luoyi are fighting in a group. ”

Syllable! Xie Bao slapped the middle officer in the face, causing him to spin around twice in place, and then scolded: "Wang Ba Lamb, are you playing with your leopard master?" The gang also came to report the fight, and the assassin Shi Yamen ate dry rice? Won't they send officials to arrest people?! ”

The middle officer had blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, and said aggrievedly: "Leopard Shuai, it was the Assassin Mansion who sent someone to ask for help." They said that the situation was completely out of control, from Saddle Fang to Bachelor's Square, the entire North District more than 20 streets were all disrupted, there were at least three or four thousand people involved in the armed fight on both sides, hundreds of shops on the street were smashed, looted and burned, and the officials did not dare to approach! ”

Xie Bao was stunned when he heard this: "-! So exaggerated? What kind of gang can make such a big battle? ”

"I don't know if I am lowly. The main book sent by the Assassin's Mansion to ask for help is outside, why don't you call him in and ask? ”

Xie Bao nodded slightly, and didn't move the place, just sat cross-legged on the couch, waiting for the officer to go out and bring people in.

After a while, a middle-aged man dressed as a six-rank civil official followed the Chinese officer into the room quickly, bowing his head. Xie Bao looked carefully and recognized that the other party was indeed a person from the Assassin's Mansion, and he had dealt with several times before because of military affairs.

"What the hell is going on out there?" Xie Bao asked, holding the shelf.

Seeing that Xie Bao didn't let himself get up, he didn't dare to move, and continued to kneel on the ground and replied, "General Xie, here's the thing. On the ground of our Luoyi, there are two relatively powerful gangs of rivers and lakes. One is a native of the Luoyi Gang. The other is the Jinhe Gang, which is known as the largest gang in the world, and their branch, Qinglongtang, is located in the city. In the past, in order to compete for territory, these two groups often clashed and accumulated deep grievances. However, as long as we don't go too far, our government will ......."

Xie Bao waved his hand impatiently and interrupted the main book's words: "Long-winded, pick up the important ones!" ”

"Oh oh, oh, lowly understand, lowly is a long story short." The master bookkeeper was a little panicked, and cautiously introduced: "This morning, that is, just now, the young gang leader of the Luoyi Gang went to Fuju Building for breakfast, and unfortunately met the people of the Qinglong Hall of the Jinhe Gang, and the two sides had a quarrel, and then clashed again. Unexpectedly, the Qinglongtang side suddenly attacked the killer, and the young gang leader of the Luoyi Gang unfortunately died on the spot. Originally, after Han Wenbin, the leader of the Luoyi Gang, heard about it, he originally planned to go to the other party Xingshi in person to ask for the guilt, but who expected that the brothers under him would not wait for the gang leader to come out and fight back first. Those people touched the private house of the concubine of the master of the Qinglong Hall, came to rape first and then kill, and finally threw the body at the gate of the Qinglong Hall of the Jinhe Gang. At this moment, the men and horses of the two sides could no longer hold back, and immediately started a full-scale war. ”

Xie Bao frowned when he heard this, and asked, "So hot?" Hey, I've heard that there are thousands of people on both sides? ”

"More than that, far more than thousands!" The master replied: "The Luoyi Gang alone will join the war, a full 3,000 gangs!" The Qinglong Hall has fewer people in the city, about only one thousand or four-five, but I heard that they are transferring people from outside the city, and the number is much more than that of the Luoyi Gang! ”

"How much power do you have in your hands?" The lieutenant officer standing next to him asked the master bookkeeper, "Aren't the officials enough?" ”

The chief bookkeeper arched his hand at Xie Bao and the Chinese officer, and said with a bitter face: "General, the three classes of the assassin Shi Yamen, plus the standing soldiers who are responsible for patrolling the city, there are only about 700 people in total. The two gangs on the other side, and they are all thugs and swordsmen in the mixed rivers and lakes, usually deal with them more than a dozen ordinary minions, and the yamen still has a bit of an advantage, but now that thousands of people have been killed, we are helpless at all. ”

Xie Bao clasped his ears and eyes with his little thumb, and said lazily: "Oh, you are here to ask for help." Then why don't you come to the door in person to ask for the marshal? ”

As soon as the chief bookkeeper heard what Xie Bao said, his eyes rolled and he hurriedly replied with a sneer: "Xie Shuai, you don't know anything. Lord Assassin Shi just said that he had to come to the door in person to greet the general, which was in line with the etiquette. However, now that the streets were in chaos, and countless people had been injured by mistake, Lord Thorn Shi was worried that as soon as he left, the situation would further expand and disperse to other neighborhoods, and the trouble would be even greater. Therefore, Lord Assassin Shi was helpless, so he had to let the humble post come to Xie Shuai for help first, and he turned around and came to the door to thank him. ”

"Hmph, Master Leopard teased you, and explained it seriously." Xie Bao laughed and said: "Chinese officer, you pass on my general order, let the third cavalry battalion and the sixth cavalry battalion go out to clean the streets, and if you dare to resist, you will be killed!" ”

"Yes, go at once." The lieutenant officer bowed.

Seeing this, the chief secretary of the Assassin's Mansion also hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, and then stood up tremblingly, preparing to leave with the Chinese officer.

Xie Bao suddenly stopped the middle officer at this time: "Hey, I said you, did you go to the account room just now?" Have I done what I have done? ”

"Don't worry, Leopard Shuai, I've been there a long time ago, and everything has been handled properly."

"Haha, okay. Or you're a clever kid. Xie Bao smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, let's go!" ”

The lieutenant officer answered yes and was about to turn around and walk out, when he saw a personal soldier rushing in from outside and shouting: "Leopard Shuai, it's not good, there's an accident in the camp!" ”

As soon as they heard this, Xie Bao and the Chinese officer couldn't help but be slightly stunned. In front of the master of the Assassin's Mansion, he said that something had happened to his own camp, what kind of system did this be? The lieutenant officer was suddenly a little dissatisfied, and frowned: "What's wrong?" I've just come from the camp, isn't everything all right? ”

The pro-soldier was out of breath: "My lord, just now, General Guoyi Mu Changqing was suddenly poisoned and died!" Hussar Captain Qiu Huan and army member Xie Tianyao were assassinated! Fan Daxing, the deputy general of the cavalry battalion, was burned alive in his camp tent! ”

"What did you say?!" Xie Bao bounced directly off the couch and looked at the pro-soldier in disbelief.

The soldier who reported the news did not dare to slack off, and even made a gesture and told the story of the incident.

Just half an hour ago, the generals under Xie Bao's command heard that the general had decided to "calm down" today, so they dispersed and went back to the camp to rest.

Because the 20,000 Xuanjia troops who stayed in Luoyi were stationed in the city, and the main general Xie Bao usually liked to stay in the Taifu Mansion, so as long as everyone had no special tasks, they were relatively relaxed.

General Guo Yi Mu Changqing returned to his residence and continued to make sencha. Tea tasting is his usual hobby, but whenever he has time, he can't help but fiddle with the tea set.

The same is true today.

He fried a pot of new tea from the Ming Dynasty and filled each cup with his own hands while telling a few of his close subordinates about the tea ceremony. Then, according to the habit, I first picked it up and tasted it, and just said the word "good", and my face immediately changed.

In the blink of an eye, Mu Changqing's entire face was covered with a layer of black gas, his hands were clenched to his chest, and he rolled on the ground in pain.

When his subordinates panicked and wanted to help him up, General Mu was already foaming at the mouth and not breathing.

Almost at the same time, Qiu Huan, the hussar captain, and Sima Xie Tianyao, who joined the army, also met with accidents.

The two of them originally planned to go to Dongshi together to buy some Luoyi specialties for their families and friends, and take advantage of the messenger to return to the Qingzhou base camp on business and help bring them back. Not far from the camp, a carriage galloped by, and a crossbow suddenly stretched out from the window of the carriage and shot two arrows at the two of them.

The incident happened in a hurry, and the bow and crossbow were extremely powerful at such a range, and Qiu Xie and the others could not react in time, and they fell to the ground with arrows on the spot.

By the time the sentry at the gate of the camp realized that something was wrong and hurriedly ran to the front to take a closer look, the two officers of the Xuanjia Legion had already lost their lives due to the attack of poisoned arrows.

And the worst one among all is Fan Daxing, the deputy general of the cavalry battalion.

This product is almost the same number as Xie Bao. When he returned to his tent, he first brought a bunch of delicacies, ate a bunch of them, and then stretched his waist and fell asleep, and the loud snoring could be heard clearly from five feet away from the tent.

Just as the news of Mu Changqing's poisoning and death spread, more and more people ran to inquire about the situation, but Fan Daxing's tent suddenly became quiet.

It didn't take long for a terrible exclamation to startle all the people nearby. Everyone followed the sound and looked around, and they found that Fan Daxing was actually on fire!

That's right, it's not the tent that caught fire, but Fan Daxing himself.

A burning man, rushing left and right in the tent, kept screaming, and the scene looked extremely terrifying. And the fire on Fan Daxing's body was obviously manipulated by someone, and it was not the kind of state that could be easily extinguished at all.

In this way, the poor deputy general Fan Daxing was burned alive into a pile of coke under the watchful eyes of his comrades.

"Leopard Shuai, there is chaos in the camp now," the personal soldier who reported the news was full of panic: "The four adults who were killed, their subordinates are running around in the camp at the moment, searching for assassins everywhere, and they look very fierce. The other adults gathered together, not daring to leave the tent even half a step, and their guards were also on alert, and many camps were blocked. ”

Xie Bao only felt that his mouth was a little bitter, he swallowed hard, and ordered through gritted teeth: "Go and get my armor and weapons!" ”

Who knows, as soon as Xie Bao's voice fell, there were hurried footsteps outside again, and another personal soldier ran into the house and said loudly: "Leopard Shuai, the granary in the south of the city is on fire, and the situation is critical!" ”
