Xu Chang commanded his subordinates to clean up the battlefield in Qingyun Villa, it was already dark, the two bright lights in the darkness were particularly dazzling, an official sedan chair came to Qingyun Villa from afar, dozens of guards followed before and after, the sedan chair landed, and Bao Shirong, the prefect of Leizhou, got off the sedan chair.

This prefect Bao is the nephew of Prime Minister Bao Zheng, known as the "jade-faced little Bao Gong", who is quite upright and talented. Although the place is the farthest, but it is extremely important here, the imperial court wants to deal with the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Southern Tang Dynasty is unwilling to submit to the Great Song Dynasty, which is not a secret, so the strategic location of Leizhou, which is at the junction of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty, is extremely important.

Bao Shirong arrived half a year ago, and before taking office, Bao Shirong repeatedly mentioned to Bao Zheng that the position of the general soldier of Leizhou is more important than the prefect, and it is necessary to arrange a capable and loyal person to come. This position Bao Zheng originally wanted to select people from several major families to recommend to the emperor, but the emperor consulted the opinions of several families, among which Marshal Di Qing and Marshal Huyan both recommended Xu Chang to serve as the chief soldier of Leizhou.

Since the death of Zhao Yuanhao, Marina gathered Uighur soldiers to fight with the Western Xia for more than a year. After the death of the king of Xiangyang, the imperial court also freed up his hands, let Marshal Huyan and Marshal Di lead the victorious troops, two ways to attack the Western Xia, Xu Chang is the vanguard of Marshal Huyan, and Wang Xingzu is the vanguard of Marshal Di, both of them are brave in battle, tired of military exploits. The Western Xia had no choice but to cede land and sue for peace, and ceded almost half of the territory to the Great Song Dynasty in exchange for peace, and Renzong also felt that he had been fighting for many years and needed to recuperate for a period of time, and after extorting 200,000 taels of coins per year from the Western Xia, the two sides temporarily stopped fighting.

It was also after this truce that the imperial court issued an appointment, transferred Xu Chang as the commander-in-chief of Leizhou, Wang Xingzu as the commander-in-chief of Qiongzhou, and increased heavy troops to guard the two cities. At the same time, Bao Shirong, the champion of the new section, was appointed as the prefect of Leizhou, and Deng Jiuru was appointed as the prefect of Qiongzhou, and Xu Chang and Wang Xingzu arrived together.

Bao Shirong walked up to Xu Chang and asked, "Mr. Xu, how is the situation?"

Xu Chang bowed and said: "Lord Hui, a total of five hundred and thirty-one people died in Qingyun Villa, of which Liu Feixiong, the owner of the fourth village, and Qiu Ziyu, the owner of the sixth village, also died here, but there is no body of a thief here, it should be done by Xiahou Jie alone." ”

Bao Shirong was surprised: "He killed more than 500 people by himself?"

Although Xu Chang also couldn't believe it, but this was the case, looking at Bao Shirong and said helplessly: "It's really him who did it alone, I've seen this person, when he fought with him, he had already killed these hundreds of people, and at that time he could still fight with me for thirty rounds, and then escape!"

Bao Shirong frowned and said, "This person is so powerful?"

Xu Chang's expression was also dark: "Well, if he fights me at the beginning, the outcome is unpredictable......" Since taking Jiang Tianda's pill in Emei Mountain, his internal strength is not inferior to Bai Yutang, Zhanzhao, etc., it can be said that in addition to Hua Chong and Xia Suiliang, who are higher than him in the realm, there are only a few people in the rivers and lakes who are among him, this time such a Xiahou Jie suddenly appeared, and he was almost equal to him as soon as he made a move, which hurt his fragile heart.

"This guy ran away?"

Xu Chang said hatefully: "There are also those people who intercepted and killed the four swords on the dock, and the few who took the lead ran away, it was my negligence that made them make a noise, and they used their soldiers and horses as bait to let their leaders escape!"

Bao Shirong said with relief: "The coming day is long, I'm afraid this battle is just the beginning, you told me about the situation of their ten gates in the South China Sea before, since they dare to come here to kill people, they just want to sweep away the hostile forces in the South Seas, their meaning is already obvious, there is no worries, they want to do it again, I'm afraid it will be our Great Song Dynasty!"

Xu Chang sneered: "I'm not afraid of them coming, I'm afraid they won't come!"

Bao Shirong said: "Don't worry, this Qingyun Villa has not been removed, they will definitely come again." ”

Xu Chang shook his head and said: "This is not necessarily, the four swords of Qingyun Villa escaped, I think it should be that we can't be believed, they must have gone to Nanyang and took refuge in the Ten Thousand Years Ancient Buddha, they are the biggest force in Nanyang, they hold a group, and they can move a little!"

Bao Shirong thought for a while and said: "In this way, let's wait and see, if the two of them really join forces to make some moves in Nanyang, I think we can help them." ”

"Let?" Xu Chang didn't expect this little Bao Gong to want to wade into this pool of troubled water.

"Yes, we should give them some help, this time the court asked me and Jiuru to come over, and it also has this purpose. First, we are classmates, which is easy to collaborate. Second, you know that Han Zhang, the gopher of the school captain's office, is Deng Jiuru's father-in-law. ”

Speaking of Han Zhang, Xu Chang sighed and said, "So what? Now Hua Chong's whereabouts are unknown, he is still wanted, and the school captain's office no longer exists." ”

Bao Shirong said in a low voice: "This matter needs to be known only to you, not long ago, Wuyi and Nanxia gathered in Songjiang, and the Bai family opened a fleet of ten sea ships to go to sea, and the target is also this Nanyang! A few days ago, they docked from Fuzhou, according to the people of the coastal guard battalion, they crossed our Leizhou border yesterday and went in the direction of Nanyang, most likely to Binglang Island!"

"Binglang Island, isn't that where the Dajin Temple is?" Xu Chang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Several of them went out collectively, could it be that Hua Chong is in the Dajin Temple?"

Bao Shirong motioned for him to be quiet, and said in his ear: "This matter must not be disclosed, after all, Hua Chong is still a criminal of the imperial court, and I know your relationship, this matter may be related to the recent chaos in Nanyang." This is not the first time that the Bai family's fleet has gone to sea, I heard Jiuru say that in recent times, they have been going to sea very frequently, and it is likely that they have found Hua Chong. It's just that because of his identity, I don't know much about it. ”

Xu Chang said: "Since this is the case, let's wait and see what happens, if Nanyang really makes a big move, we will send troops to help!"

Bao Shirong nodded and said, "It's all up to you, Lord Commander, to do this!"

Xu Chang rubbed his hands and said: "Don't worry, adults, this group of juniors, I will definitely clean them up!"

A day later, the Leizhou Mansion, which had just regained calm, ushered in a sea boat, and after the people on the boat got off the boat, they were led by a monk and rushed straight to Qingyun Villa, and came to the gate of the villa but saw more than ten soldiers guarding here.

The monk who took the lead was stunned and said, "What's going on?

As soon as the door opened, Xu Chang's voice came out: "Who are you, why did you come to Qingyun Villa?"

Xu Chang walked out of Qingyun Villa, he has been staying here for the past two days, waiting for no one to come back, or no one to come to the door, but he didn't expect to wait for a batch in two days.

"Xu Chang?" Zhihua recognized this little Wenhou, and the monk who led the way said: "Could this be Xu Chang Xu, who is known as Xiao Wenhou?"

Xu Chang raised his head, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him was the black demon fox who hadn't shown up for many years!
