Assassin He Chunxia

Chapter 78
"Guarding eunuch Geng Kui."

"History of the Ministry of War, Shi Zhichuan."

"Nanjing Admiral Zheng Xianyong."

"These are the three golden mountains that are on the heads of the Nanjing people." Liu Lingguan followed behind the long line, looked at the backs of the people at the front of the long line, tilted his head, and spoke in a very low voice, "These three people have It is an old department under Zhan Weihao and has a close relationship with the East Palace. Therefore, if the Huai'an Uprising had Mr. Zhan's token, Nanjing would not send troops, but unfortunately it did not come in handy. Fortunately, Fang Shu is smart, and this fire Compared to the rebellion, the noise is bigger than we imagined.”

"With so many people dead, he is not smart, but vicious." Wei Xuezhu shook his head and sighed.

"No poison is not a husband." Liu Lingguan smiled, which was meaningful.

After the cold food is clear.

This year's Nanjing city is much more desolate and chilling than in previous years. After the Huai'an fire, the victims flooded into Nanjing, just in time for the two festivals of Hanshi and Qingming, where they can pay homage to their relatives who have just passed away in the disaster.

On the streets of Nanjing City, paper money fell with the sound of crying, and the water was full of candles and paper boats.A long mourning procession led out of the capital city and went straight to Zijin Mountain in the outer city.

Liu Lingguan and Wei Xuezhu followed behind the team. They were both merchants. In the long team in front, most of them were people with heads, faces and official titles. At a glance, most of the officials of Nanjing City were among them.Naturally, the two businessmen were not qualified to be in the main mourning team, and could only follow behind the mourning team along with many other people.

Such a big show is for the common people who died in the fire?

of course not.

Such a big show, of course, is for one person.

The Lord of the East Palace, Zhan Weihao.

The best golden silk nanmu is used for the coffin, the best golden beams and beautiful jade are used for decoration, and the best gold and silver utensils are used to accompany.

The coffin was empty.

From the capital city, there is a long road to Zijin Mountain. Most of the victims live in the outer city. When they saw the excitement, they came over and learned that it was for Zhan Chitose to see off. The incident in Huaian was not unrelated to the East Palace. Immediately, some victims spat and threw at the coffin. Vegetable leaf soil.

The funeral procession is either rich or expensive, how can they bear this anger, some officials signaled to the head of the lower rank, and the small banners of Nanzhen Fusi took action, grabbed the provocative victims and beat them, and the head was broken. The stream was thrown to the side of the road until no one dared to step forward.

At the front of the line, Li Siyi turned to look, indignant, her voice was a little sad, "Just because they suffered disasters and poverty, do they have to be bullied and beaten like this?" Zhang Zhou Porridge glanced at him, "Bad man."

Zhang Zhou Porridge looked helpless, "It's okay to leave it under someone else's fence, I can't help it. I'm really a good person, and I finally brought it over among these disaster victims."

"Something's wrong." Kuang Lansheng frowned, his ears moved lightly, and he kept sniffing his nose. He Chunxia followed his line of sight to look at the victims gathered by the roadside. Watch the fun.

"It looks very miserable. I just suffered not long ago. Today is Qingming again, and the strange point is normal." He Chunxia said.

"It's rainy at this time, and these victims rushed over, all infected with the wind and cold, and the place where they lived was poor and damp and cold. If it rains for a few more days, I'm afraid it will kill more people than the fire." Kuang Lansheng sighed, " Later, I will discuss with Mr. Fourteen and Liu Lingguan to see if HSBC Bank can pay for the medicine and make some medicinal soup to distribute to the victims."

"Shouldn't this matter be in the hands of the imperial court? Why should HSBC Silver be paid for again!" Li Siyi was puzzled.

"The ancestors of the Yu Dynasty first established the capital in Nanjing, and then moved the capital to Beijing. Therefore, Nanjing has a complete set of imperial institutions except the Shengshang. In this disaster, the money and food transferred from the capital should still be on the way. It is reasonable to say that The Nanjing court needs to allocate supplies for relief." Kuang Lansheng sighed again.

He lowered his voice and continued to speak, "There are many idle positions in the Nanjing court, and there are only three people who are really in power, the eunuch Geng Kui, the Minister of War Shi Zhichuan, and the Admiral Zheng Xianyong of Nanjing. These three people are called the three golden mountains in the mouth of the common people, and they are blatantly borrowed. Officials accumulate wealth and exploit the people’s fat and the people, and the three of them have no intention of deploying supplies for disaster relief, but the thought of greedy for money and food in the capital is already spinning in their stomachs.”

"How could such a thing happen! You tell Mr. Fourteen and let him take care of it." Several people were a little angry when they heard it, He Chunxia said, going to find the fourteenth month at the front of the team, but was stopped by Kuang Lansheng .

Kuang Lansheng shook his head, "Mr. Fourteen understands these words. In the incident in which Zhan Weihao killed his wife, these people were all involved. As enemies, they are not walking together to mourn for Zhan Weihao. Politics is much darker than the rivers and lakes, you two women, talk less about politics, and don't act impulsive." He patted Zhang Zhouzhu's shoulder, "Nanzhen Fusi is leisurely, and when you encounter something you don't like, you can stop it. All right, be smart."

"What's wrong with the female class? The rise and fall of the world, the little girl is also to blame! Corrupt officials should be killed!" Li Siyi pouted in dissatisfaction, her voice became louder, and everyone beside her looked at her, a young woman in mourning clothes Leaning over to hug Li Siyi, Li Siyi frowned.

The woman said in a low voice, "Good sister, you said something wrong, the official who is here to go to Mr. Zhan's funeral, can that one not be greedy? You hug me quickly, we make a good appearance, they won't dare to move Your crooked mind will give you little shoes."

Li Siyi turned her head, "Listen to what you mean, they dare not touch you? Then you must be the eldest lady of a powerful family, I don't!"

Kuang Lansheng smiled and saluted the girl, "We are coming with Mr. Fourteen, the girl can rest assured that no one will dare to attack us, and may I ask the girl's name?"

The girl frowned, "That's an accident. My father didn't look good when he talked about Mr. Fourteen. Then I'll go with you." She inserted herself into the crowd without any explanation, and hugged He Chunxia again. He said, "My name is Zheng Hsinchu, and my father is Zheng Xianyong."

Everyone was secretly surprised, for a while they didn't know if they were enemies or friends, and they didn't dare to talk any more.

After walking for a while, the mountain road was narrow and difficult to walk, and the funeral procession was getting longer and longer. Later, they stopped lining up, and slowly climbed up the mountain in groups of threes and twos.

He Chunxia and the others always followed in the front row, and finally managed to climb to the place where the coffin was dropped.

This place is located in the middle of the mountain, it is a sunken dry waterfall, under the cliff, surrounded by overgrown grass and trees, someone came and startled a chorus of birds.

Time is tight, just clearing a large piece of open space, paving hastily with masonry, the mausoleum in the field is not grand, there is a tall and long stone tablet standing, detailing the great achievements of the exhibition thousand years, smelly and stinky. long.

The opening of the tomb is very narrow. Looking in in the middle of the fourteenth month, the tomb is not big. Geng Kui came over and asked, "Mr. Fourteen, the time is tight, and the repair is really average. In your opinion, how is the feng shui here?"

"It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful mountains and rivers, and outstanding people." He replied casually in the middle of the fourteenth month.

"This" Geng Kui said with a cold face, "Mr. Fourteen, the dead are the worst. Mr. Zhan has managed my Dayu Dynasty well over the years. You should be more serious." Shi Zhichuan and Zheng Xianyong also came over and agreed. , with a hint of pressure.

"Kanshan is away from the direction, the Kungong Bagua Mountain is peeled, and the peeling is on the fifth. It is the master of peeling, and can get it. The upper is inherited from the Yang, and the group is small, and the group is small. If the outside is positive, why is it not good. Then there will be nothing in the end." In the middle of the fourteenth month, he spoke in a eloquent manner.

The three of them looked at each other in dismay, but none of them understood, "Please ask Mr.

"It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful mountains and rivers, and outstanding people."

The three of them had no fun, their faces were calm, and they praised each other with haha, "This place is a good choice."

The people behind gradually followed and filled the small field. Geng Kui looked at the sun, the time was good, and ordered everyone to come out and carry the coffin.

"Buried!"

"Cry." Zheng Hsinchu reminded in a low voice, only Kuang Lansheng bowed down with her.

More than a thousand people fell to their knees one after another, crying loudly, and some even cried so hard that they almost fainted, as if their own grandfather had died.

In the middle of the fourteenth month, yawning and standing beside the inscription watching the excitement, suddenly realized that the crowd in front of the mausoleum seemed to be kneeling to him, and immediately stepped aside, noticing a crowd of He Chunxia who was standing extremely straight and striking while kneeling, Zhang Zhou Porridge and Li Siyi walked over to speak.

"What are you three doing there, two fools and three?"

"We can't cry."

In the middle of the fourteenth month, he nodded, "You pretend to squat down first. This is someone else's territory. It's okay if I don't give face, but you juniors can't do it. If someone tries to trick you in secret, it will be troublesome."

As soon as the words fell, Kuang Lansheng had already stood up, one of them stepped forward, shielded the middle of the fourteenth month behind him, and chopped out a palm of his right hand, everyone turned to look at him, an arrow pierced through his palm, stuck in the bone. between the seams.

"There are assassins!" Kuang Lansheng reluctantly shouted.

It is a taboo to see the murder weapon at the funeral. Most of the people in the arena did not bring any weapons. Except for the two musketeers who accompanied them, only the Jinyi guards from Nanzhen Fusi brought some close-fitting hidden weapons and daggers.

In the middle of the fourteenth month, only He Chunxia came with a sword. She immediately took the sword and protected Li Siyi and Zheng Hsinchu behind her. Kuang Lansheng pulled out the arrow and threw it aside. Zhang Zhou porridge tore his clothes and wrapped it up for him. They are all alert to the arrows flying in the dark, and they are ready to fight.

More and more arrows were fired, but the assassin disappeared. There was chaos in the field. Two teams of musketeers stepped forward, covering the three officers at the front and retreating.Smaller officials did not receive this treatment. Some people ran down the mountain and scrambled down the mountain before they could wipe their tears. Not long after they climbed out, an arrow pierced through their hearts.

Some people have fled along the way they came, and dozens of masked people have appeared from the top of the cliff and the surrounding vegetation, no longer hiding in the dark.

Countless arrows fell like rain, and they didn't aim deliberately. They just pulled the bow and shot, watching the arrows. The training time was not long, but the people below were densely packed.The musketeers also responded quickly. After two rounds of salvos, both sides suffered casualties. Shi Lingzhi scolded and shouted, "Stop filling the medicine, and cover the adults to go first!"

"It doesn't seem to be killing me on purpose, it's about killing everyone here!" In mid-April, he led the crowd to and fro on the road. Now that the assassins showed up, the general direction of the arrows could be judged. How many people were there? They all performed light work to move and scattered into the forest.Kuang Lansheng took off his coat and twisted it into a thick rope, and he and He Chunxia blocked the arrows for Zheng Hsinchu's palace.

Kuang Lansheng closed his eyes and opened them again, his eyes were crystal blue, his five senses were maximized, he suddenly sniffed, turned around, and saw Liu Lingguan who kept running in. Everyone else was fleeing, but he was the only one who stepped into the rain of arrows.

"Hsinchu, I miss you. Are you okay? Are you not injured? I'll take you out."

The slender hand was freed from his palm, "I'm fine, Young Master Liu, let's go together."

Liu Lingguan turned his head to take a closer look at her, not panicking as expected.Zheng Hsinchu's face flushed slightly. In such a critical situation, the handsome and martial Liu Lingguan came to rescue her regardless of his life and worried about her safety. What kind of friendship is this.In her heart, the little deer collided, and if it weren't for the other people standing behind her, she would definitely have given him her hand.

Liu Lingguan frowned slightly, only then did he notice that He Chunxia and Kuang Lansheng were beside him, and it was inconvenient to say hello in a critical moment.

Kuang Lansheng suddenly said, "There are no chasing troops on the way here, and there are only so many people in ambush in front of us. Should we kill them and grab one or two for interrogation?"

He Chun Xia's movements became faster, and he was about to step up and fly to catch the nearest assassin.

"Miss He!" Liu Lingguan gritted his teeth and stopped He Chunxia, ​​"No need, Hsinchu girl doesn't know martial arts, let's protect her out and save her life!"

"It's okay, it's enough to have the two of you, I'll kill you!"

"Ah!" Liu Lingguan suddenly screamed.

He Chun Xia turned back, an arrow penetrated Liu Lingguan's left shoulder, Kuang Lansheng used the thick whip in his hand to dance, and the flying arrow could not get close to the three of them.Miss Zheng was going to help him with a worried look, but Liu Lingguan pushed him away, "Hsinchu, be careful!"

The two distanced themselves, and Kuang Lansheng was too busy to take care of each other, so He Chun Xia had to retreat and cover the two to hide in the jungle together.

The four of them ran for a while, Kuang Lansheng closed his eyes and opened them again, his eyes returned to normal, and shook his head at the other three, indicating that there were no chasing soldiers behind him.

"It's too embarrassing, dozens of people, according to the strength of the arrows, are not good at learning skills, just want to kill more than a thousand people! It's strange, if there are more than a hundred elite soldiers ambushing on the way, and attacking from both sides, these people I can't escape." Kuang Lansheng frowned, this assassination, the weather, the geographical advantage, but the loss to the people, could it be a bandit?These assassins just shoot arrows, not close combat, why?
It's really frustrating, just shoot arrows!
There are few people and low martial arts, but they have killed so many people by taking advantage of the right time and place!Kuang Lansheng was a little annoyed, and the cries were so loud and mixed that he didn't notice that there was an ambush for a while.For some reason, he looked at Zheng Hsinchu and Liu Lingguan like a ghost.

The two no longer had any scruples, Zheng Hsinchu looked at him affectionately with worried eyes, and held his hand tightly to help him move forward.

Liu Lingguan is not frowning with Su Yaochi Kuanglan.

Liu Lingguan noticed that Kuang Lansheng's eyes kept glancing at him, his lips gradually turned white, his steps slowed down, and he coughed twice in a hoarse voice, "I seem to be poisoned."

Kuang Lansheng looked at the palm of his right hand in confusion.

He Chunxia immediately asked Kuanglan Sheng to carry Liu Lingguan to the doctor.

"No, it can't be delayed any longer. This poison can be resolved with internal power. I have strong internal power, so I can exercise here first." Liu Lingguan sat down cross-legged and muttered to himself, "I still need one person to sweep the formation for me, so that the wild beasts in the mountains will not be allowed. Close, Brother Lan Sheng was also injured, Miss He, take Brother Lan Sheng away first."

"How can she deal with the beast as a weak woman? I'll stay." He Chun Xia shook her head.

"No! I am the only one who is familiar with Nanjing City, and I will take the girl from Hsinchu home after the detoxification is done." Liu Lingguan hurriedly explained that he wanted to keep Zheng Hsinchu, who was blushing.

He froze suddenly, a bloody smell coming out of his mouth.

Blood, sweet and fiery.

opportunity.

Who should be eaten?

Zheng Hsinchu or He Chunxia?

without hesitation.

"Then thank you Miss He."
