Everyone in the room was shocked when they saw Xu Jizhong, who had been pointed, suddenly stood up, and when they looked carefully, they were even more surprised. I saw that Xu Jizhong's eyes, nose, mouth and ears continued to flow blood, like a yaksha ghost, with a hideous and terrifying face.

After Xu Jizhong stood up, he looked at Xu Pu and walked towards him step by step.

Yuan Zhengqian was also stunned when he saw Xu Jizhong like this, and he actually forgot his identity as a martial arts master, hurriedly let go of Xu Pu, and took a few steps back.

Xu Jizhong walked up to Xu Pu step by step, knelt on the ground, and hugged Xu Pu.

Although he was let go by Yuan Zhengqian, because he had been tortured for a long time, Xu Pu was not awake for a while. In the haze, I felt that I was being picked up, my demeanor was gentle, and I felt unusually familiar, as if it was my father. Thinking of his father, Xu Pu suddenly sobered up a lot, struggled to open his eyes, and saw that what appeared in front of him was indeed his father, but his face was covered with blood, and he looked a little scary.

Xu Pu was shocked and said, "Daddy, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Jizhong smiled slightly and said, "Good boy, dad is fine." With that, his body went limp, and he fell to the ground.

Xu Pu was shocked and pounced on his father: "Daddy, Daddy!" shouted several times, but Xu Jizhong didn't react.

This scene was clearly seen by everyone present, and it was only at this time that they came back to their senses. Han Jinhu was furious, pointed at Yuan Zhengqian, and shouted: "Thief Dao! I have warned you in advance, you must not harm their lives, but now why do you want to kill him!?"

Yuan Zhengqian was so frightened that his heart and gall were broken, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic: "Master Ma spares his life! Master Ma spares his life! Master Ma Mingjian, this matter has nothing to do with the poor road!"

Yang Yutai on the side said: "Master Ma is angry." The young prince was angry and broke his heart, so he died, and it had nothing to do with Yuan Daochang. ”

Han Jinhu glared at Yuan Zhengqian and said, "It was supposed to be a beautiful thing, but it was made so unbearable by you waste!"

None of the people present dared to speak, and they all lowered their heads one by one, only to hear Xu Pu keep shouting: "Daddy!

Han Jinhu waved his hand impatiently and said, "Take both of them and their father and son down." ”

He Jiuxiao said: "That child, what should I do?"

Han Jinhu said: "Cut the grass to the roots." Now that the young prince is dead, leaving his heirs behind will sooner or later be a scourge. Go to a secluded place outside the city and bury their father and son together. Yang Daxia, this matter is up to you, don't make any mistakes. ”

Yang Yutai responded: "Obey." Came to Xu Pu's back and nodded at the back of his neck, and Xu Pu suddenly fell asleep.

Yang Yutai picked up Xu Pu and said to Yuan Zhengqian and He Jiuxiao: "You have two people to go with you." ”

At this time, Han Jinhu was angry, and the two were looking for a chance to leave, but they had no excuse, and when they heard Yang Yutai say this, they hurriedly responded: "Okay!

Yuan Zhengqian carried Xu Jizhong's body, He Jiuxiao followed, and the three of them left the room together.

When he came to the outer room, Yang Yutai said to the black-robed old man: "Master Tao, the safety of the commander-in-chief will be handed over to you." ”

This black-robed old man is Tao Qingshan, the head of Tiannongmen, who Zhang Hanyang wants to visit. The yellow-shirted man surnamed He is Tao Qingshan's junior brother, and his name is He Linfeng.

Tao Qingshan said: "Yang Daxia is in charge of himself, and there is no need to order this matter." ”

Yang Yutai didn't say anything more, and walked out of the inn with everyone.

When he came outside, He Jiuxiao ordered people to bring horses, prepared shovels and pickaxes for digging pits, and called two brocade guards to accompany him, and left the inn with the corpses of Xu Pu and Xu Jizhong, and walked outside Xuzhou City.

At this time, it was nearly three watches, and the city gate had long been closed. The city gate official guarding the city gate saw that it was a brocade guard, so he didn't even dare to ask, and hurriedly opened the door to let him go.

The group left the main road and walked along the path, talking about what was happening in the inn as they went.

He Jiuxiao said: "The young prince's love for his son is so heartfelt, it is really admirable that he can break his heart, break free from the sealed acupoint, and stand up from the seat." ”

Yuan Zhengqian sighed and said, "If I knew this, Poor Dao should have ordered him a few more acupuncture points to completely seal his meridians." ”

Yang Yutai said: "The Taoist chief doesn't have to blame himself. The young prince has already had the heart of death, even if he did not break his heart, he would never agree to Han Yuma's order, and in the end, he would inevitably die. ”

Yuan Zhengqian said with a sad face: "In that case, there is no responsibility for the poor road. Now it's good, the horse master is angry and poor, thinking that I hurt the young prince. Poor Dao went to Jinyiwei to find a place to live, but now it seems that Poor Dao can't stay in Jinyiwei for a long time. ”

He Jiuxiao persuaded: "The Taoist chief doesn't have to worry, when the incident happened, we were all present, and we all saw it clearly, and there is no responsibility for the Taoist in this matter." If he blames the master in the future, we will definitely testify for the Taoist. The Taoist chief was relieved. ”

"Thank you, Lord He. ”

He Jiuxiao said it beautifully, but he secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang set up the Jinyi Guard, and most of the officials appointed were selected from the army, and He Jiuxiao was the same. Later, in order to hold people in the martial arts hostage, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Han Jinhu as the commander-in-chief, and used high-ranking officials Houlu as bait to recruit masters in the rivers and lakes.

These Jianghu people were born recklessly, and they were in high positions without making an inch. The descendants of officials like He Jiuxiao, who have been officials in the army for generations, are quite dissatisfied with this matter, but even if it is the emperor's will, they naturally dare not disobey, so they can only find an opportunity and secretly exclude them.

This time, Xu Jizhong died because of Yuan Zhengqian, and Han Jinhu must be dissatisfied with these martial artists, which is exactly what he He Jiuxiao wants. But he and Yuan Zhengqian and others were ordered to accompany him, getting along day and night, and it was inconvenient to show it, so he could only secretly rejoice.

The group talked and walked forward, until they walked more than ten miles, and finally came to a wooded outside.

Yang Yutai reined in the horses, looked back at He Jiuxiao and Yuan Zhengqian, and said, "What do you think about this place?"

He Jiuxiao looked around and said, "This place is deserted and populated, and few people pass by, so it's a good place to go." So let's go into the woods and bury them. ”

Everyone got off their horses, tied their horses to the roadside book, and ordered two accompanying Jinyi guards, one carrying the unconscious Xu Pu and the other carrying Xu Jizhong's corpse, to walk out of the depths of the forest.

At this time, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the silver moonlight shone through the cracks in the trees, illuminating the woods clearly.

After walking deep into the woods for about a stick of incense, I came to a high slope.

Yang Yutai stopped and said, "It's here." Then he pointed to an open space in front of him and commanded, "Dig a pit here." ”

The two brocade guards agreed, put the Xu father and son on the ground, took out the shovel and pickaxe to start digging the pit, and Yang Yutai and the three waited on the side.
