A knife in love

Chapter 2639
After Qi Jiu finished speaking, there was only a sound of "squeak", and the two gates were pushed open, and then four Jinyi guards walked out from behind the gates, lined up on the left and right sides of the gates.Qi Jiu saw the four guards in Jinyi with their left hands on their hips and their right hands tightly holding the handle of the Xiuchun knife, looking at him coldly, their heart suddenly rose to their throats, and they wanted to turn around and run away.It's just that when the matter came to an end, he couldn't tolerate the slightest hesitation, so he took a deep breath, then raised his legs and stepped up the stone steps, and walked straight to the courtyard of the county magistrate's office.

After Qi Jiu crossed the threshold, four Jinyi guards followed him into the gate, and then closed the gate tightly.Qi Jiu walked down the stone steps, stepped into the yamen and first entered the yard, only to find that many Zhang Xu high shelves had been erected behind the stone walls around the yard, and more than a hundred Jinyi guards were sitting or squatting on the top of the shelves, hiding Behind the stone wall, most of them have bows and arrows around them.Qi Jiuxin was stunned, and couldn't help turning his head to look, only to see three Jinyiwei sitting behind the ridge of the verandah at the top of the gate, and the man in the middle was the Jinyiwei who had just talked to him.Qi Jiu thought to himself, it seems that Xu Yingyang has mobilized his Jin Yiwei to occupy a high place, and wants to guard the county magistrate's office.This person is really amazing, it only took one or two hours to set up a shelf behind the stone wall, I don't know how he did it.

When Qi Jiu was thinking about it, a Jinyi guard walked up to him quickly and said: "Master Xu is discussing matters in the main hall, please Commander Qi to speak in the main hall."

After Jin Yiwei finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to Qi Jiu.Qi Jiu cupped his hands in thanks, and then walked towards the main hall.I saw eight Jinyi guards standing on the stone steps in front of the main hall, each with their left hands on their hips and their right hands holding the Xiuchun knife tightly, with very solemn expressions.Qi Jiu felt uneasy, not knowing how Xu Yingyang would punish him, and when he walked up the stone steps, his legs trembled a little.He thought to himself, I have always been conceited, thinking that I am an upright hero, but why am I so timid in front of Jin Yiwei?It is probably because my father has been very strict with me since I was a child, and I am not allowed to offend the Shangguan. I am used to seeing him as an old man who is obsequious in front of the Shangguan. Unknowingly, I have acquired a lot of official habits. Slightly offended.Alas, I think only a hero like Brother Li can come and go freely and freely, whether it is in the temple or in the rivers and lakes.

Qi Jiu walked up the stone steps slowly while thinking.At this moment, only the sound of footsteps was heard, and a person came out from the main hall, and it was Xu Yingyang.Qi Jiu didn't expect Xu Yingyang to show up suddenly, thinking that he heard that he had returned after a big defeat, and walked out of the main hall angrily, intending to cut himself off with his own hands, so he was terrified and involuntarily knelt down to plead guilty.It's just that his knees just bent, Xu Yingyang took a few steps forward, supported Qi Jiu with both hands, and said with a smile: "Mr. Go to the main hall and talk."

While talking, Xu Yingyang took Qi Jiu's right arm, turned around and walked into the hall.Qi Jiu didn't expect Xu Yingyang to be so polite to him, but he became panicked and uneasy, and wanted to break his right arm from Xu Yingyang's arm, but Xu Yingyang was so strong that Qi Jiu's right arm couldn't be pulled out. He could only follow Xu Yingyang into the main hall.

Many candles and oil lamps were lit on the koan, colonnades and surrounding walls in the main hall, illuminating the room brightly.After Qi Jiu followed Xu Yingyang into the main hall, he saw more than twenty Jinyiwei standing tall and short in the hall.Qi Jiu thought to himself, it seems that Mr. Xu is calling everyone to discuss things, presumably these Jin Yiwei are all his bosses.Could it be that Mr. Xu hates me for not being able to defend Beicheng, and wants me to be executed in front of these Jinyiwei leaders?
The more Qi Jiu thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her body trembled slightly.Xu Yingyang, on the other hand, was smiling, holding Qi Jiu's right arm until he walked under the public case, then let go of Qi Jiu, and said: "Mr. Worried. Fortunately, Mr. Qi came back calmly, God opened his eyes, and I am very happy."

Before Xu Yingyang finished speaking, Qi Jiu hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain couldn't resist the Japanese pirates' attack in Beicheng, so he had no choice but to abandon the city and flee back, violating the military law. You can punish the villain even if you are an adult. Yes, the villain absolutely dare not complain."

Xu Yingyang shook his head, did not speak immediately, and slowly paced in front of Qi Jiu with his hands behind his back.Qi Jiu raised her heart to her throat, bowed her body and didn't dare to look at Xu Yingyang, but just watched Xu Ying's feet walking back and forth in front of her from the corner of her eyes, cold sweat was already oozing from her forehead .

After a while, Xu Yingyang said slowly: "You can't blame Mr. Qi for this matter. I was fooled by the Japanese pirates. I didn't expect them to besiege Dongliao County with all their strength. That's why I was taken advantage of by the Japanese pirates and ate me up." Big loss, it has nothing to do with Mr. Qi."

When Xu Yingyang said this, he stopped in his tracks, took a look at Qi Jiu, and then continued: "Mr. Qi spent a lot of effort in training the righteous people in the school military field. Today, he brought the righteous people to guard the north gate. Although he was attacked by Japanese pirates and had to return to the magistrate's office, he was not completely defeated and brought back many soldiers. However, after the Jinyiwei, officers and soldiers, tolerance arresters, and righteous people sent by the official to the east, west, and south were attacked by Japanese pirates , the situation was in chaos immediately, and they were completely defeated by the Japanese pirates, and only a hundred people escaped. Compared with them, Mr. Qi not only defended Beicheng for more than an hour, but also brought back hundreds of soldiers. Therefore, Mr. Qi not only Not guilty, but meritorious."

Hearing Xu Yingyang's praise of himself, Qi Jiu felt uneasy, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord praises a villain, it really makes a villain ashamed. A defeated general cannot be said to be brave. A villain just escaped by chance, and he is definitely not like an adult." As brave as you say."

Xu Yingyang shook his head, and said: "The military situation is urgent now, so we don't need to say more polite words. The troops sent by the official in the east, west, and south have already dispersed, and only a few hundred people have fled back. And this More than a hundred people hardly confronted the Japanese pirates. They only escaped when they saw the Japanese pirates attacking. I asked these defeated soldiers about their military situation, but they couldn't tell. Only Mr. Qi met with them in Beicheng The Japanese pirates fought fiercely for a long time. Although the Japanese pirates had to retreat to the city because of their power, they must be well aware of the situation of the Japanese pirates. The art of war is like knowing the enemy and knowing the enemy. Therefore, when I heard that Mr. Qi had arrived, I ordered these The school captain gathered together and wanted to ask Mr. Qi to explain the situation of the Japanese pirates, and then we can discuss how to deal with the Japanese pirates."

When Xu Yingyang said this, he paused for a while, smiled slightly, and then continued: "I look at Young Master Qi as if he is preoccupied, and he must be worried that I will punish you. Young Master Qi can put his heart on In my stomach, I have borrowed a lot from Mr. Qi, and I will definitely not be so stupid as to destroy the Great Wall."
