I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 521

Only then did Yang Xi and his wife put on their cloaks and got out of the carriage. Torches were already lit around the carriage, and the bright moon was hanging high again today, illuminating the scene in front of them very vividly.

Thirty steps away from the carriage, there were more than [-] corpses lying here and there, and the guards were examining the corpses.

Yang Xi frowned, "We didn't keep a low profile all the way back to Fucheng this time. There are more than 500 soldiers and guards. Isn't it too childish to have only twenty corpses?"

Zhou Yu looked at the mountain road in the distance, "Ruizhou has strict regulations, not to mention recruiting hundreds of assassins, even 50 people would be difficult to get together. Today's assassination seems to have no effect other than scaring the snake."

Instead, more than [-] lives were lost.

Molu has experienced training on the island in the past two years. In the past two years, the two states of Ruide have not expanded, but the power on the sea has expanded rapidly. Now it is not easy for the northern pirates to take it down.

Mo Lu also led troops to fight at sea. This time, in order to pick up the two gentlemen, the Lord asked him to go back to Shanghe Village in person.

Mo Lu looked at the mountain road in the distance, "Sir, you mean to disturb us on purpose, but the real purpose is the mountain road?"

Zhou Yu hummed, "Some traps don't require manpower."

Yang Xi's heart skipped a beat, "For example, gunpowder was buried on the road?"

Zhou Yu nodded, "Well, the assassination is just for us to travel at night, and we have experienced assassins on the road at night. The guards only pay attention to the sides, and naturally ignore the feet."

Just waiting for the carriage to pass by to ignite the gunpowder, even if they improved the carriage, the family of three would be in dire straits.

Mo Lu gasped, "Gunpowder?"

Zhou Yu was already [-]% sure that it was a gunpowder trap, "Clean up the corpse, let's continue to rest."

Mo Lu felt extremely uneasy when he heard this, and the desire to continue on his way just now was instantly extinguished. After thinking for a while, he said, "Sir, I'll send someone to check right away."

Zhou Yu shook his head, "There's no rush, you guys should go to bed earlier."

Yang Xi and his wife returned to the carriage, Yang Xi tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, "This is because Xixuan is aware that Xixuan is going to make a big move, so get rid of us first?"

"Well, we can shock Xixuan's rear."

So whichever side is changed, their husband and wife are clearly at the top of the list.

Yang Xi said in a low tone, "Stimulated by the Xixuan cannon in the past two years, all the forces are desperately researching firearms, and even the head of Hu Le came to exchange firearms in person."

Zhou Yu said, "Tsk, now the gunpowder is on us."

"Sleep, I'm busy tomorrow."

"Ah."

The husband and wife closed their eyes when they said they were going to sleep, breathed slowly and steadily, and soon fell asleep.

On the contrary, Ziheng couldn't sleep, Ziheng slept next to his father, and he didn't dare to make any big movements, so he could only lie upright honestly, thinking about many things, and didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.

Early the next morning, Zhou Yu opened the curtain of the carriage to have fun, but there was a thick fog this morning, so he called Mo Lu to explain in a low voice, "By taking advantage of the fog and the woods, send some more people to look ahead."

Mo Lu took the order, "Yes."

Yang Xi and his wife had experienced too many things. They had a good rest. They took their son to wash up and had breakfast. When the fog dissipated little by little, the people sent by Molu came back with eight corpses and gunpowder in their hands. .

Yang Xi glanced at the corpses, all of them died of poisoning. These people were all dead soldiers, and then looked at the amount of gunpowder and fell silent. This is not enough to kill their husband and wife. The gunpowder can blow up the carriage to the sky.

Zhou Yu touched his chin, "There are so many dead soldiers and gunpowder, it seems that there are traitors in Ruizhou."

You must know that the inspection in Ruizhou is very strict. Even if you are a Texan, you have to check your luggage when entering Ruizhou, so it is not easy to bring gunpowder into Ruizhou. Of course, you can also smuggle into Ruizhou from the mountains, but Xixuan broke into Dezhou through the mountains. , He often arranges soldiers to guard in the mountains and forests.

The smile on Yang Xi's face turned cold, "It's too many good days."

Zhou Yu helped his daughter-in-law into the carriage, now that the trap is gone, they want to reach Fucheng as soon as possible.

Ziheng didn't understand, "Father, my little uncle is a wise master, why are there still people being betrayed by my little uncle?"

Zhou Yu, "Because some people's ambitions are not content with stability."

They asked for too much, coupled with Yin Tian's enmity and the rule of law, they were subject to too many restrictions, watching the people get rich slowly, but they could not stretch out their hands, too aggrieved, long-term aggrieved breeding thought of rebellion.

Before Yang Xi and his party reached Fucheng, Xixuan led troops to greet them. Obviously, they used gunpowder to assassinate, Xixuan was worried if he didn't see his sister and brother-in-law with his own eyes.

After the two parties met, Yang Xi looked at Xixuan, "You look good, it seems that you are obedient and take a good rest."

Xixuan rubbed his nose. It was rare for him to go back to Shanghe Village for the New Year's reunion year, and then he was scolded by his sister. He didn't rest for many days, and his condition in Shanghe Village was not good. After leaving after the year, his sister kept nagging him to rest more. .

Zhou Yu looked at the sky, "It's getting late, we should hurry up and reach Fucheng at night."

Yang Xixuan got on his horse, and he didn't want to be outside. Fucheng was safer. This gunpowder incident scared him.

In the evening, the group returned to Fucheng. Yang's Mansion has not changed much. Yang Xi hasn't been back for two years, and even the arrangement of flower pots hasn't changed. "You keep letting Steward Xue keep the mansion as it is?"

Xixuan nodded, "Yes."

This is a home built by his sister himself, and he doesn't allow it to be changed. Since he returned to Ruizhou Fucheng, even if his sister is in Shanghe Village, he only needs to look at the unchanged scenery of Yang's Mansion, and he has a sense of belonging in his heart. Home makes his heart tense peaceful.

Zhou Yu also had to admit, "I have a heart."

Yang Xixuan smiled, "We are a family."

Yang Xi and his wife kept on their way. They went back to the yard to wash up. After a simple dinner, they rested. If there is anything to do, we will talk about it tomorrow.

Yang Xixuan also had a rest, this time the gunpowder assassination made him alert, and at the same time a hostility rose in his heart, he really thought he had a good temper after two years of recuperation.

In the past two years, he has been lenient to the people and implemented a lot of policies for the two states. The life of the people in Dezhou has also become better. Although it is not as rich as Ruizhou, it is still enviable.

He was lenient to the common people, from the soldiers to the common people did not say anything bad about him, after a long time, it is inevitable that some people forgot his ruthlessness.

Yang Xixuan looked at the list in his hand. Although he would not have spies in every official's residence, there must be spies in some important officials' residences.

Assassinating my sister and brother-in-law is such a big deal, the little official can't be a cover.

There were three names on the list, which surprised him that Mr. Zhang was also on the list. This Mr. Zhang was in charge of Ruizhou's finances and wanted to marry Zhou Ran at the beginning.

The pony glanced at the lord's face, swallowed, the two gentlemen were the lord's inverse scales, this time the two gentlemen were almost gone, this time the lord was pissed off.
