Ye Qingxuan was finally taken aback. It turned out that this person was the fat shopkeeper in the cloth village he had just met, but his height suddenly increased a lot, and at the same time he became much thinner.
The person who came hurriedly booed and said in an inaudible voice: "My lord, don't blame me, it's the humble job. It is because the humble job knows the art of shrinking the bones and stretching the tendons that I can become the leader of the hidden piles here..."
After the explanation, the other party raised his head and said with a loud smile: "These are the horoscopes of Wang's birthday. I hope the Taoist master will use his skillful hands to calculate one or two for Wang..."
Ye Qingxuan raised his brows, secretly thinking that this person is really smart and knows how to use fortune-telling as a cover, and even if the two of them whispered to each other in secret, the onlookers would think that they were talking about some private words that should not be passed on, so they would not be suspicious .
Ye Qingxuan was very cooperative, rolled down the copper coin hanging on the red string around his waist, shook his head, looked like an old god, and said: "The law is not passed on to the six ears, please come here with the king..."
Unexpectedly, my fortune-telling ability has these promising uses, it is really fate, fate...
When the other party approached, Ye Qingxuan hurriedly said in a low voice: "Don't call me my lord, I just deliver letters for others..."
The other party was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said: "The Taoist leader must be someone who my lord trusts very much. The hidden stake in this place will only be used in the most critical moment, and will not be used at ordinary times. Even the other colleagues in Yunzhou City will not use it. I don't know there is such a hidden pile in a darker place... I don't know what your lord entrusted?"
Ye Qingxuan leaned back to his original position and said in a normal voice: "donor, don't worry, I have a talisman privately passed down by the Taizu here. You can take it home and stick it on the wall. Cheung…”
After saying this, he took out the letter from the secret treasure in his bosom together with the cloth belt, handed it to the other party, and said solemnly: "This talisman is of great significance. Before returning home, don't show it to others lightly, otherwise it will be harmful and useless, and you will be punished by God..."
After a short pause, he continued: "The benefactor should go immediately without delay!"
The visitor looked dignified, nodded solemnly, and expressed his reassurance...
Ye Qingxuan finally delivered the entrustment, and he couldn't help feeling relieved.
The visitor received the letter, stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Taoist priest, for pointing out the maze. Wang doesn't dare to stay for a long time, so I'll go home and offer a magic talisman, so farewell..."
Then he took out fifty taels of silver from his pocket, respectfully placed it on the table, bowed his head again, and bid farewell.
Just as he was about to leave, he turned around abruptly and said in a low voice: "Xiao Daochang left here quickly, Jingnan City is extremely uneasy, almost all the three divisions' garrisons are being followed, Chongxuanhu is afraid that he intends to rebel, so stay here for a long time. It's useless, please take care..."
After speaking, he left in a hurry. His face was anxious, like someone extremely superstitious.
Ye Qingxuan thought that this is a tense time, and it would be of no benefit to stay here, so he paid for the wine, rode the little devil bull Aqing and rushed out of the city.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I saw the city gate from a distance, a large group of murderous sergeants suddenly appeared on both sides of the commercial road, and surrounded a shop next to it. A general who looked like a general shouted loudly at the shop. : "The merchants here are collaborating with the enemy, treason, and bandits. The evidence is conclusive. According to the order of Zhennan General, they will be arrested immediately, but those who act recklessly will be killed on the spot..."
The shop owner ran out in a hurry, licked his face and said with a smile: "General Zhang, General Zhang misunderstood, misunderstood, the little old man is a serious businessman, a serious business, I—"
With a flash of sword light, the shop owner's head flew into the sky...
Immediately, the general waved his sword to shake off the blood, and said with a grinning smile: "The general said that those who act recklessly will be killed on the spot—"
Sergeants as fierce as tigers and wolves rushed into the store immediately, and arrested everyone in the store, whether they were shopkeepers or customers, and stabbed anyone who didn't cooperate at all. For a while, the sound of crying inside and outside the store was endless.
Ye Qingxuan was so sure that something was wrong, he didn't dare to take a closer look, and rushed to the city gate in a hurry. Along the way, it was discovered that there were more than one family in the place where the incident occurred, and even several houses were surrounded by officers and soldiers. Occasionally there were sounds of fighting, several places were bursting with flames, and the street was in chaos.
Several masters flew out of a mansion, fighting outside, chopping melons and vegetables like chopping over a dozen officers and soldiers, and shouting at the same time: "We are the guards of the imperial court'Shence Mansion', you want to rebel, can't you?"
With clever means and tacit cooperation, they broke out of the encirclement of officers and soldiers in an instant, and were about to flee in all directions.
Suddenly, a group of elite masters in crimson purple tight-fitting suits and black cowhide armor appeared on the house, holding strong crossbows, shooting at several people, and immediately several people were shot into hedgehogs. The two men were also chopped into minced meat by the officers and soldiers who caught up.
Ye Qingxuan's heart was in a turmoil, and he felt that his heart was rushing straight to his head. This Chongxuanhu finally couldn't stand it any longer, if he made a move at this time, the forces in Jingnan City, the third division of the imperial court, might be destroyed in an instant, and all personnel would be lost. It's just that I don't know whether the extremely secret hidden pile just now can escape...
The bloody fight finally shocked the nerves of the common people, as if the doomsday had come, they screamed and ran away...
Ye Qingxuan hurriedly chased the green bull, seeing that the city gate was in sight, he was overjoyed. Suddenly there was a loud shout from the city gate: "Seal the gate—"
boom—
The jack gate landed...
The drawbridge rises, and at the same time the majestic city gate slowly closes—
A loud voice came from the wall:
"According to the order of General Zhennan, thoroughly investigate the traitors who are collaborating with the enemy and treason. From now on, the gates of the city will be closed, and no movement inside the city will be allowed day and night. Foreign personnel will make books and catalogs, and they are not allowed to act rashly..."
Ye Qingxuan closed his eyes, his heart felt cold—
…
Time, back to four days ago...
rain, cold rain...
The strong wind blows away a cloud of cold rain, turns into smoke, turns into fog.
The cold rain filled the empty river.
Through the misty rain, the shadows of trees on both sides of the river are also hazy. The same goes for people.
A handsome middle-aged man, wearing a purple gold crown, with a sad face, stood by the river, despite the wind and rain, still standing still.
Behind the man, a person was kneeling on the ground not far away, his expression was full of fear and panic, as if he was praying, as if he was expecting something...
"That's all?" The middle-aged man finally spoke up and asked slowly.
The man kneeling on the ground nodded hurriedly.
"Thank you for your hard work." The middle-aged man sighed, his voice was as sonorous as gold and stone, but there was an indescribable compassion and tenderness in his tone, as if he was feeling sorry for someone.
"Go all the way—" The man's voice was bitter and low, swaying in the wind and rain, and then it was blown away by the wind and washed away by the rain.
At the same time, the man kneeling on the ground was blown away by the wind, strangely, like a sand tower blown by the wind, the man's body dissipated in the wind and rain... turned into a rain of blood...
Misty rain makes people worry, but what about blood rain
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it... Huo Dong, the 'Golden Eyed Eagle', entrusted the responsibility of escorting the seventh child to an outsider. Is the Taoist priest of Qingyun Temple really worthy of his trust?" The middle-aged man wiped his chin. The rain stained on the short beard, murmured.
This middle-aged man is the boss of the "Purple Scarf Bandit"...
There are two thousand bandits in the "Purple Turban Bandit", but there are only thirteen leaders. The thirteen leaders seldom act together, but this time, in order to rescue the arrested seventh, the remaining twelve people acted together to hunt down and kill the detective. tour group...
It's just that the first encounter between the two sides turned out to be fruitless because the patrol team suddenly had backup...
"Brother, shall we continue to chase? In this fight, the fifth, eighth, and twelve all suffered some internal injuries, but there are only three old Huo Dong left in the patrol team, and they all suffered a lot. Although several people responded to the internal injuries, our brothers still have enough strength to keep them all..." The speaker was a middle-aged scholar with disheveled hair and an arrogant and unruly image.
"Don't chase..."
"Why, big brother?" The one who asked was a strange man in sackcloth and mourning stick, his voice was ethereal, as if it came from far away.
The middle-aged man turned around, looked at the brothers around him, and said slowly with that unique metallic voice: "From now on, our purpose is only to rescue Lao Qi. As for the secret letter, let Chongxuanhu worry about it himself." Well, we can't afford to compromise our brother for him... pass on the traces of Huo Dong and his party to Chongxuanhu, and we will continue to chase along the water. The group that escorted Lao Qi is already two days away from us, if we don't hurry If time catches up, it will inevitably let it out of Yunzhou, and it will be extremely difficult to chase after that time... "
Unexpectedly, Huo Dong actually saved his hand. He didn't get any help from the court, but he found his brothers from the same school as backup. a few brothers...
What was even more unexpected was that Huo Dong actually entrusted Lao Qi to someone else, and he was still a low-level sect that he had never heard of. Continue to chase Huo Dong and the others...
The middle-aged man withdrew his sad face, and there was a cold light in his eyes, and said in a harsh voice: "Whoever hurts my brother, I will not let him die, and all his relatives and friends around him will die..."
A young woman with a graceful figure and a charming appearance rushed to say: "But, the ninth brother has not followed up—"
"Fourth sister—" the middle-aged man interrupted the other party's words, and said angrily: "You are too accommodating to the ninth brother... I know that he saved your life when he was young, but he should know how to advance and retreat. I can let him do whatever he wants... Once this matter is over, he must be severely punished..."
Seeing that seductive young woman still had a worried expression on her face, the middle-aged man couldn't help but sighed secretly, and said: "It happens that the fifth, eighth, and twelve are wounded, so stay here to meet the ninth...you and the old After the confluence of the nines, remember to notify us as soon as possible, and I will let the eleventh meet you. The eleventh has a 'red flame three-headed eagle', which is very convenient. But that is after we find the seventh, now Old Eleven is still looking for traces of that group of bodyguards, and after he finds them, let him come to you... "
let's go-
The sound of clothes ripping through the air was repeated, and there was no one in the place for an instant.
The wind is rustling, the rain is slack, and the river is still murmuring...
Misty misty—
What was taken away was blood stains all over the ground;
What is left is a place of dead bodies...
