No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 288 Trap!

Seeing Luo Junyao who suddenly intervened, not only the man, but Master Huang also couldn't help being stunned.

He was a high-ranking official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he had met the Princess Regent, but he was speechless for a moment in shock.

The man narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Luo Junyao in front of him, "Little girl, I advise you not to meddle in your own business just because you have learned kung fu for a few days." It's just martial arts, but this kind of little girl who looks spoiled and spoiled, where has she seen any big scenes?A few words of scaring may mean that you will be afraid.

It's a pity that his calculation was obviously wrong, Luo Junyao chuckled, a cold light flashed in his hand, You Yue stab went straight to the man's mouth.

Anger also flashed in the man's eyes, he snorted coldly and swung the long knife in his hand towards Luo Jun.Luo Junyao's body was nimble, he leaned back to avoid the oncoming blade, turned around in the air in this posture, and the Youyue thorn pierced the man's abdomen again.

Master Huang came back to his senses, and saw Luo Jinxing who was following Luo Jun at a glance, and hurriedly stumbled to Luo Jinxing, "Second Master Luo, that, that...Princess Regent..." Although it was already winter night, Huang The adults still couldn't help but want to wipe their sweat.

This is the princess regent, if something happened to the princess in his house, how would he explain to the prince regent and General Luo?
Luo Jinxing didn't feel anxious at all, he waved his hand to signal the people behind him to help capture the other bandits, and said to Mr. Huang: "Don't worry, Mr. Huang, are your family members okay?"

Seeing him like this, Master Huang also breathed a sigh of relief, nodded gratefully and said: "They are all behind, someone will take care of everything."

"That's good." Luo Jinxing nodded and said, the old man's official voice is good, Luo Jinxing still doesn't want his family to suffer such an innocent disaster.

Mr. Huang was not afraid now, but felt a little cold. He tightened his clothes and shrunk his hands, and asked in a low voice, "Second Master Luo, what's going on? Why did I hear that the outside is also very chaotic? I wonder if Luo Where is the general?"

Luo Jinxing said with a hearty smile: "Don't worry, some people in the rivers and lakes who don't know how to live or die are causing trouble, and my father is currently sitting in the camp of the Xuanjia Army. If there is a big problem, we can send troops into the city at any time."

Mr. Huang didn't know if he believed it, but he just nodded and said: "So that's the case, that's good, that's good. With General Luo and His Royal Highness the Regent, we have nothing to be afraid of."

While the two were talking, Luo Junyao kicked the man in front of Luo Jinxing and Master Huang.

The man looked fierce, and wanted to stand up and take Mr. Huang as a hostage, but just as he raised his body, a sword was pressed against his chest.

Luo Jinxing held the sword in his hand, and said coldly: "Don't move." If the man didn't want to be pierced by the sword, he naturally couldn't move.It was just this moment of stagnation, Luo Jinxing had already leaned over to touch the acupuncture points on his body, and kicked him away.

"Catch it, the rest, dare to stand up to the corner, kill without mercy!"

The chaos in Huang's Mansion subsided quickly, and several nearby families also sent people over to inquire. After knowing that there was nothing wrong, they left and went back to guard their own doors.

After being sent out of the door with great gratitude by Mr. Huang, there were more people on the street outside the door.

Originally, the private guards of each family were replaced by officers and soldiers of the Wucheng Army and Masi holding weapons. Dieying Linglan and Qin Yao'er came back from several directions, "Princess!"

Luo Junyao asked: "How is it?"

Die Ying said: "There is some turmoil in the city, but generally everything is fine. General Yu is in the palace, Prince Wei went to the Liushang Pavilion, and the eldest son of the Luo family is in the west of the city. I just heard that the prince was besieged near Nanshi."

"Besieged?" Luo Junyao was a little surprised. Xie Yan was besieged in Shangyonghuang City?Shouldn't he lead people to besiege others?

After all, the Imperial City is considered Xie Yan's territory, and even if the imperial court lacks everything, it will never lack people.So Luo Junyao didn't think it was a big deal even though those people in the rivers and lakes had high martial arts skills.Martial arts are as high as Xie Yan Qufang's, after all, they are still rare.As for other masters, the imperial court is not without it.

Die Ying nodded and said: "Yes, there seems to be no one around the lord, Leng Shuang Xiying and others are not there, I heard that there is a lot of fighting over there." They are not far from Nanshi, so the news spread quickly.

Qin Yao'er was very excited, "Princess, do we want to help the prince? I heard that Qu Tiange is also there!" With the regent in charge, can she still poison Qu Tiange?

Luo Jun shook his head after thinking for a while.

Qin Yao'er was a little disappointed, "Aren't you worried about the prince?"

Luo Jun said: "Since Ah Yan chooses to do this, he must have his own ideas, and we don't need to make trouble." It is impossible to say that she is not worried at all, but she believes in Xie Yan.What's more, with the chaos in the imperial city tonight, there are still many things they need to do.

The most lively place tonight is undoubtedly the outside of the Liushang Pavilion, where countless fire lights illuminate the place as if it were daytime.

Liushang Pavilion is close to Nanshi, but because it is an elegant place for people to enjoy the scenery, there is no lively market outside Liushang Pavilion.During the day, there may still be people setting up stalls on the side of the road, but at night, the neighborhood is really quiet.

But at this time, it was ten times and a hundred times more lively than during the day.

Hundreds of people crowded into a small area outside the Liushang Pavilion, and they were obviously not interested in visiting Shangyong's most famous elegant place at night.

It is said that this is an armory that has been abandoned for many years in the previous dynasty. Even the Dasheng court didn't seem to notice this place, so it just let it stand here like an ordinary abandoned house, becoming some beggars and A place populated by homeless people.

The few beggars who settled here tonight were already asleep, but they were suddenly woken up.

A group of vicious people broke in and rummaged through the dilapidated house. Some unlucky beggars who were slow to hide were even chopped off.

But soon, these people fought themselves again.In the dilapidated courtyard, which was not considered spacious at all, the smell of blood gradually permeated.

Wei Changting stood on a tall building on the side of the street in a somewhat dispirited manner, and as far as he could see was the place outside Liushang Pavilion where the flames were dazzling and the sound of beatings and killings continued.

For those who have been on the battlefield, this kind of battle is naturally meaningless, but it is already a rare fright for those who are used to being peace officials in Shangyonghuang City.

Although they have all seen the bloody scene of the Three Kings Rebellion five years ago, it doesn't mean they want to go through it again.

"Master Wei, do you think it's time to send troops out to suppress it? This is really..." A polite-looking official asked with a worried face.

Unfortunately, he is the prefect under the foot of the emperor Shangyong.If it is said that the other parent officials are the Emperor Tiangao who is far unrestrained and comfortable, being a parent official at the feet of the emperor is nothing but hard work.

Wei Changting smiled and said: "Don't worry, let them fight, anyway, it won't disturb the people, what are you in a hurry for?"

This is called not disturbing the people?Now the gate of the yamen has not been blocked by people, is it because the people who are disturbed dare not go out, okay?
Wei Changting also felt that what he said was inappropriate, so he quickly comforted him: "My lord, think about it, these people are all self-confessed in martial arts, and often use martial arts to commit crimes. Among them are some masters that the court has not been able to catch for many years. Now Isn't it just right for them to fight themselves? It's easy to beat them to death, otherwise they will be caught, what if they run away again? There are still some forces behind them, and the forces behind them may cause trouble, the court I don't have the energy to suppress bandits now."

The official was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it seriously, he vaguely felt that Wei Changting's words made a lot of sense.

"Then...don't care?"

Wei Changting said: "Didn't the lord say to surround this place? Let them fight here. Anyway, there is no one at night. As for..." As for the so-called treasure house, although I don't know if it is true or not, but even if it is Really, real gold and silver are very heavy, and can they be taken away from under his nose?
Thinking of the empty treasury, as the Minister of the Household Department, and the possible Minister of the Household Department in the future, Wei Shizi felt a burst of fire in his heart.

The noise in front became louder and louder, accompanied by someone's ecstasy and cheers, and then more intense fighting.

Wei Changting stroked his chin and said, "It seems that we have found the entrance. Is there really an armory? The person who was in charge of surveying the imperial city fell asleep?" , if those people are still alive now, I am afraid that some people should die.

Sure enough, there were a few regular blares soon, but the fanatical masters of the rivers and lakes obviously didn't care.

"Have you found Qu Fang and Musa yet?" Wei Changting asked with a frown.

The man in black standing behind said respectfully: "My lord, I haven't found any trace of these two people yet."

Wei Changting frowned slightly, Cui Zheyu said that these two people brought a lot of experts here, but now there is no trace of the Qi people at all.

"Keep looking! These two are too dangerous!"

"Yes!"

The dilapidated but bright courtyard was in chaos, and the entrance to the so-called treasure was in the deserted garden behind the courtyard.These people broke into it and almost ransacked the entire house but did not find any armory.It wasn't until several people who were fighting rushed together that no one realized that the ground beneath him seemed to be empty.

The quick-witted people quickly kill the slow-moving ones. They thought they could hold this secret all by themselves, and then try to get the treasure after sneaking away, but they didn't know that someone had already been following them.

Seeing this, he also realized that something was wrong, so he rushed forward and killed the man with a knife, blood spattered all over the ground.

The entrance was quickly opened, and the first person who rushed into it let out an ecstatic laugh.

People were also ecstatic in their hearts, and at the same time looked vigilantly and viciously at the people around them, which also set off a new round of fighting.

The entrance is not big, and everyone wants to go in.In the same way, no matter how many treasures there are, there are countless treasures. Why share them with others when they can be eaten by one person?
These people have been dazed for a long time, and they never thought about how they would move these treasures away when there was such a big commotion here tonight?
Everyone was caught in a frantic fight, and most of these people hadn't even stepped into the door of the treasure house.

Luo Junyao and Qin Yao'er squatted on the roof opposite the yard, watching this scene couldn't help being amazed.

Qin Yaoer said: "Are these people crazy? I thought they should be vigilant when they heard that the treasure is in the city." If the so-called treasure is outside, it's okay. Want to take it out smoothly?Isn't this whimsical?
Luo Jun shook his head and said: "It does look crazy. Isn't it normal for people to make money and kill birds for food?"

Qin Yao'er shook her head. Although she also loves money, it's not for money that looks like it could kill her.

Luo Junyao said: "Aren't you crazy, or the second brother wouldn't be so busy." After all, Luo Jinxing still couldn't get Luo Junyao to follow him all the time. His task tonight was to lead people to protect the mansions and alleys in the city.

The folk houses in the folk alleys are okay, these people in the rivers and lakes look down on the three melons and dates of ordinary people, and they are all focused on the powerful and rich and even some banks and silver houses.Luo Jinxing is going to command Wucheng soldiers and soldiers to attack everywhere to arrest these guys who want to fish in troubled waters.Luo Junyao always thought that his second brother would fight, but he never expected that he would be quite good at dispatching troops and deploying generals.But after thinking about it, if they really only know how to fight, how can General Luo and Young Master Luo trust him to take charge of the Xuanjia Army camp outside the city?
Luo Junyao saw that Luo Jinxing was busy running around, and he couldn't help much, so he simply brought the three of them here.

"Princess." Duoying came over without a sound, and squatted down like the two of them.

Luo Junyao asked, "How is the situation?"

Folding Shadow said: "There is indeed an entrance in the garden behind the yard, which can accommodate six people walking side by side. Looking at the regulations, it does look like the entrance of an armory or a grain depot."

Luo Jun frowned and said, "However, the imperial court has no such record."

Such a place, even if it is abandoned, must be controlled by the imperial court.Or repair and continue to use, or directly landfill.However, before this, the imperial court did not seem to know the existence of this place.

Folding Shadow said: "This place should have been abandoned during the Dongling Dynasty. When the imperial court sent officials to inspect various parts of the capital, either someone managed to hide it from the inspectors' eyes, or..."

Luo Jun said: "The person in charge of the investigation deliberately ignored it."

Die Ying nodded and said: "This happened more than 20 years ago." Now it may not be impossible to find the person who was in charge of the survey, but it will take time, and it is even possible that the person has died or left Shangyong.

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Have someone check it out. By the way, what's the smell on you?"

Duoying was stunned, "What smell? Did you accidentally smell blood?" Although he didn't do anything, the yard was almost filled with corpses and blood, and it was inevitable to get a little bit of it.

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "No, it's not the smell of blood, it's..."

Luo Junyao raised his hand to hold Douying's arm. In the night, Douying was dressed in black again, so there was no problem at all.

But as soon as Luo Jun shook her hand, she felt a slippery feeling. She let go of Xiying's sleeve and twisted her fingertips before sniffing it under her nose. She frowned and said, "Fire oil? You also have it on your feet."

Folding Ying quickly remembered, frowned and said: "It was found in the treasure house, it is indeed full of gold and silver treasures, but it has been in disrepair for a long time..."

At that time, he thought it was in disrepair and some sewage had seeped in.The smell in the treasure house was not good, coupled with the strong smell of blood and the shock of seeing mountains of gold, silver and jewels, he didn't even realize that it might be fire oil.

Luo Junyao carefully identified it for a long time, and said, "No, it's not just kerosene..."

Qin Yao'er next to him whispered, "He seems to smell of sulfur." ​​To the doctor, sulfur is also a blind medicine, so Qin Yao'er can clearly distinguish it.

"Fire oil, brimstone... and..." Luo Jun shook his pretty face slightly, and said, "This is a trap! Are there any of us in it? Tell them to withdraw!"

Folding Ying shook his head and said: "The prince ordered Wei Shizi to surround and not attack. When I came out, it was already..." Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud roar from below, and the back garden soon became dense. cigarette.

The sound was muffled but the movement was so loud that one could feel the ground shaking.After that, there were loud noises one after another, and at the same time, the flames gradually spread.

Even the roof where Luo Junyao and the three squatted seemed to shake a few times, and a few tiles from the eaves fell off.

Because of these loud noises, there were bursts of wailing in the noisy small courtyard.

At the same time, the entire imperial city seemed to be completely awakened.
