The wails from the courtyard were far better than the previous sound of killing pigs, and resounded throughout the mountains.

There were seventeen people in the inn, including the shopkeeper, and all of them hid in the corral at this time.

"It's the dirtiest place, I don't think they're going to come here to kill us..."

Zhao Laogui trembled while holding the corpse of the sheep he had just stabbed to death, and whispered softly: "Mom, what is the way of the world! They kill people more than I slaughter sheep!"

Indeed, the fight outside the circle is more like a massacre.

Zhang Suiguang knew that the dead soldiers sent by Xia Muyan to assassinate Mei Siyuan this time were not bad, and the elites in the palace who were sent to hunt them down this time were all elites in the palace, and there were more than 100 more people. What's more, although Hong Hai's gang are dead soldiers, they have been training on the island, unlike the people of the Nine Palaces who kill people all year round outside for a living.

The Nether Ghost Hand is a melee attacker, and the Soul Hook is also a long-range weapon, and compared to the sword of the Dead Warrior of the Hung Sea, there are more variations, more evil moves, and more difficult to resist.

They are not afraid of pain or death, but it does not mean that they will not hurt and die. The pain of the ghost's hand tearing open his chest still made the brave man cry out loud.

The battle lasted for about an hour, and the last of the dead soldiers in the sea was cut open by a ghost's hand, and he fell unwillingly in a pool of blood.

"Count the numbers and see how many of our dead and wounded!" the black-cloaked man in the lead ordered in a cold voice.

The rest of the men in black listened to him and silently dispersed, cleaning up the corpses on the ground.

The night was dark, the coolness was heavy, and the smell of blood diffused made this inn beside the mountain post road look like a hell on earth.

"Elder, two hundred and fifty-six people have been killed, and we ourselves have lost seventy-three, and forty-five others have been seriously wounded. A cloaked man approached and whispered.

The man in the cloak at the head did not answer, but looked towards the innkeeper and walked straight over.

Not only is the shopkeeper not there, but even the guys running out of the hall have run out. The leading cloaked man passed through the house, found the corral, heard the noise of the chatter inside, and said loudly, "Come out." The people of the rivers and lakes will not harm others when they seek revenge, and we will not harm you. Look, you're cooking, keep cooking, we're hungry too. ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the gang's room, and when he reached the door of the gang's room, he suddenly turned his head and said, "By the way, they will pay for our meal." ”

Seeing him turn his head, the group of people just stood up, and they were so frightened that they squatted down again, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after listening to his words.

"Fortunately, he didn't want to go back. Meal money, how can food money matter?"

... ...

"'Straight to the Yellow Dragon'?" Hu Xiu Anqi asked, "What is the 'straight' method?"

Although he and Xia Muyan are also familiar with each other, they don't know much about him, so naturally they can't guess his thoughts.

Zhang Suiguang knocked out the twenty-six whistles, naturally allowing Xia Chengxuan to take advantage of the gap when no one was watching him to catch up with them and pull them onto his thief ship. Xia Muyan sneered, "Those so-called loyal and virtuous ministers are actually pedantic and ignorant fools, who were bewitched by his words. Maybe they were worried that I would break up and attack me if my affairs were exposed, and they had already come together by this time. ”

This is the darkness Chen Cang he just said.

"They are all together, and even though they have become stronger, it is not necessarily a bad thing for us. Xia Muyan took a sip of tea and said, "This is giving us a chance to catch it all." If the net is collected well, it can be done once and for all. ”

As soon as he said this, Hu Xiuan understood, and his face suddenly became much more relaxed.

"Hehe, it's never a good idea to put your eggs in one basket. It's just that to knock out this basket of eggs at once, which is really a big blow to the imperial court. Originally, it was a matter between King Yun's Mansion and several other major royal mansions, why didn't those old men understand it, so they had to get involved?" Xia Muyan frowned, shook his head lightly and sighed.

He thinks that he is not a thin learner, but he has to rely on him to support the entire Dahua country, which is really a bit of a fool's dream.

"Your Royal Highness, you want to take them all..." Hu Xiu'an's face tightened again when he had just eased up in fright.

Although he didn't know which of the more than 20 ministers who stood on Xia Chengxuan's side, he guessed that they must be powerful members of the court, and if he wanted to kill so many people, he wouldn't dare to borrow his guts.

"If I hadn't taken the last step, I wouldn't have done that. Seeing Hu Xiu'an's anxious face, Xia Muyan smiled and comforted, "Even if I win the country in the end, I still have to use them to stabilize the situation." Closing the net is just to restrain them, and if they are lost, I will not be to blame. ”

"Okay, that's good. Hu Xiu'an couldn't help nodding yes, and then asked, "Then how are we going to 'pound' this 'Yellow Dragon'?"

Although he had his own ideas, he pretended to be stupid at this time. He knew that the more stupid he was, the safer he was. Smart people don't want the people around them to be too smart.

"Hmm... Hmm......"Xia Muyan patted his knees lightly with both hands, as if he was thinking, took another sip of tea from the teacup, and said, "If we Xia Chengxuan, we will protect all the people who support us in the mansion." If I were the old Duanwang, I would never steal Xia Chengxuan's limelight to take care of this matter at this time. Therefore, nine out of ten of these people are hiding in the Jaw King's Mansion. ”

"Do you want me to send someone to the jaw king's mansion?" Hu Xiu'an rubbed his palms and was eager to try.

"When you returned to the yamen, the palace had already come to report that your father was no longer good, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to survive tonight. At this point, it would be too hypocritical for me to think about anything else. Xia Muyan smiled and said, "Tonight, you will take someone to the Broken Jaw Palace." There are a lot of them, so you need enough people to make mistakes. In addition, if a team of people is also sent to Duanwangfu, there is a slight possibility, and it cannot be let go. ”

"Okay, I'll go. Hu Xiuan stood up and was about to go out.

"Xiu'an, don't be impatient. Xia Muyan stopped him with a smile, "We must guard three places tonight: the palace gate, the city gate and the Yunwang Mansion, and there can be no problems in any of these three places." ”

Hu Xiuan bowed slightly and replied, "Your Highness rest assured." I have more than 42,000 people in my hands, more than 8,000 people guarding the city pass, more than 5,000 people guarding the palace gate, and 3,000 people guarding the Yunwang Mansion.

Originally, the Jin Wei was divided into day and night work, not only to manage the security of the capital, but also to investigate cases and arrest people, Hu Xiuan thought, "At such a critical time, all public security, inspections, major cases, and important criminals should be let go, and it is true to concentrate manpower to help King Zhen stabilize the throne." ”

Hearing him say this, Xia Muyan was also relieved, and said with a smile: "Then you go and gather people." As soon as the people and horses were together, they went straight to the Jaw King's Mansion to take down the gang. I'm waiting for your good news here!"

Hu Xiuan bowed and bowed, and walked out murderously.
