Mr. Xu has no control over what King Yan wants to do.
He didn't know what was going on in the heads of the people in the capital, but he was at least certain that when King Yan returned to the capital, some people's eyes would fall on King Yan.
Of course, if everyone's attention is attracted to King Yan, their family can live their own life leisurely.
It's a pity that such a good idea can only be an idea.
By the time the sun turned west, the group had entered the boundaries of Anshun County.
In other words, after resting this night, you can get home tomorrow.
If it weren't for the bandits they encountered in recent days, they would have returned overnight after entering Anshun County. But now, we can only rest temporarily in Luofeng Town, northeast of Anshun County.
"Cheer up, everyone, don't capsize in the gutter when you're almost home."
After the group entered the inn, Mr. Xu looked at the two brothers, Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu, "You two brothers, let's keep vigil together tonight!"
"Dad, don't worry, nothing will go wrong!"
Xu Laoer spoke confidently.
Boss Xu was much more steady and just responded.
…
Night falls quickly.
With the arrival of autumn, it is getting dark earlier and earlier.
Luofeng Town is not big, much smaller than Sanhe Town. There is still a dock over there in Sanhe Town, and there are many merchants coming and going. Although Sanhe Town is not a city, it is gradually developing into a small town.
When Mr. Xu first came to Anshun County, the area of Sanhe Town was not half as big as it is now.
After dinner, Mr. Xu and Zuoqiu chatted with Mr. Dai Duo for a while. Seeing that Mr. Dai Duo was a little weak, they sent him back to his room early.
Although Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu were keeping vigil at night, neither Mr. Xu nor Zuoqiu planned to sleep.
The other party keeps arranging for some unworthy people to take action, which is definitely not a joke. Therefore, this is likely to be the enemy's arrogant strategy.
Use this little trick to paralyze the consciousness of Mr. Xu and the others, causing them to underestimate the enemy through repeated understatements.
"Brother, whose handiwork do you think this could be?"
Zuoqiu sat opposite Mr. Xu, wondering who could be so generous and send so many cannon fodder.
"It's hard to say!"
Mr. Xu sighed, "Speaking of which, I'm not sure whether the other party is coming for you or for me!"
"Isn't it possible that you are here for your mentor?"
"It shouldn't be possible!"
Mr. Xu was stunned for a moment, "Dai Gong is a fair man, he behaves upright and sits upright. He is a veteran of two dynasties, and now he is even older. Who would spare no effort to target him?"
That's just a polite way of saying it.
To put it harshly, Mr. Dai has already buried his neck in the soil. He is quite old and may die at some point. Come to embarrass the old man at this time. Isn’t this because you are full
"I think these people should be causing trouble for you, brother!"
Zuoqiu smiled slightly and glanced at Mr. Xu, "Brother, I am just a small person. Although I have offended the eldest princess before. But, I have stopped being an official. There is no reason for the eldest princess to do anything for a small role like me. So many things!”
"That's not necessarily the case!"
Mr. Xu chuckled, "You can't guess what this woman is thinking!"
"A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea!"
"A woman's heart is as big as the nose of a pin!"
"Maybe the eldest princess has identified you and insists on fighting with you. It's not impossible!"
Mr. Xu's words made Zuoqiu tremble.
When she was in the capital, the eldest princess sent out a lot of killers to kill him. If it was really the eldest princess's handiwork, he felt that he would not be able to live a stable life for the rest of his life.
"Of course, it doesn't have to be the eldest princess!"
Mr. Xu smiled again, "After all, when we were in the capital, many people died under the eldest princess!"
"Does the eldest princess really have so many people who can come and die?"
Various signs indicate that the eldest princess is most likely to be the mastermind behind the incident. But judging from the number of people under the eldest princess, the possibility that the eldest princess is the mastermind behind the scenes is extremely slim.
"Who could it be?"
"have no idea!"
Mr. Xu spread his hands and shrugged.
There is really no way to judge this matter.
According to Mr. Xu's experience, in many things, the person most likely to do it is often innocent. And the person least likely to take action may end up being the culprit.
In the current situation, the eldest princess is the most likely person to take action, but there is no clue as to who is the least likely person to take action.
…
As the night gets darker, the lights in the homes of the people in Luofeng Town gradually go out.
Most of Mr. Xu's group in the inn also fell asleep.
Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu were sitting on the roof of the inn, looking around the inn energetically.
That night, dark clouds covered the moon and the stars were unclear.
The northwest wind was blowing, and it was indeed a bit cold.
"It's dark and windy at night, when people are killing people and setting fires!"
Boss Xu looked at the dark night and suddenly said something faintly.
Xu Laoer was just about to speak when he suddenly reached out and grabbed his eldest brother's arm and said, "Brother, you are such a crow!"
At this moment, outside Luofeng Town, a large group of people roared over. These people lit torches. After approaching Luofeng Town, they quickly divided into two groups and surrounded Luofeng Town.
"I'll inform dad!"
Mr. Xu slithered down from the roof and informed Mr. Xu and Zuoqiu about the people coming from outside the town.
However, when Mr. Xu and Zuoqiu followed Mr. Xu out of the room, they saw Mr. Xu jumping off the roof.
"Dad, it's bad, those people set a fire outside the town!"
"What?!"
Mr. Xu's eyes widened.
Xu Laoer said hurriedly: "They are setting fire to the town!"
"Damn it!"
After listening to Xu Laoer's words, Mr. Xu instantly understood the purpose of these people, which was clearly to force them to disperse.
Although they were able to hold on to the inn, what about the people of Luofeng Town
"Boss, second brother, both of you go, don't let anyone go!"
Don't these people just want to disperse them? That's as they wish.
Thinking that we can defeat them one by one is simply a dream!
After receiving Mr. Xu's order, Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu immediately set off with their horses and rushed towards the town entrance with their guns in hand.
As for Mr. Xu, he is staying at the inn with Zuoqiu.
The two closed the door of the inn, each took their bows and arrows, and went up to the roof.
However, the two soon came down from the roof again. It was too dark to be of any use on the roof. (End of chapter)
