Hearing this, Qi Hong couldn't help but sneered and said, "How dare a bunch of clowns call themselves kings?"

The young master said: "The two of you Ganqing have been ignorant of the affairs in the pass recently, and now there are so many kings in the pass, occupying a mountain top, and there are hundreds or thousands of people under their hands, they dare to call themselves kings."

Chu Huan frowned and asked, "Your Excellency, you are talking about the Taoist disciples of the Tianmen. Could it be that there are also Taoist disciples of the Tianmen in Jinling?"

"Tianmen Daoists have not been killed yet. If we really have to wait for them to be killed, we will not come to the northwest to buy a house first. The whole family has already gone to the northwest to seek refuge." The young master sighed: "But according to the current situation, I guess it won't take a few days, the capital is in ruins, and General Miao won't be able to stop Qinshui for a few days...!"

"Wait a minute." Chu Huan frowned and said, "You said the capital is now in ruins?"

The young master nodded and said: "You don't know, not long ago, refugees from around the capital suddenly broke into the capital, and there were 10,000+ refugees. They rushed in, murdered and set fire everywhere, and the entire capital was shrouded in fire... !"

Chu Huan showed a look of shock. Recently, his energy was mainly concentrated in the northwest, because the capital is far away from the northwest, and there was really no news of the attack on the capital for a while.

"Then who is guarding the capital?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "There are tens of thousands of guards stationed near the capital, are they all indifferent?"

"Where is there any guarding army?" The young master said: "Tianmen Dao has hit Qinshui, and the imperial court has transferred all the soldiers and horses around the capital to Qinshui to resist Tianmen Dao. It is said that there are only a few thousand people in the capital guarding Well, the imperial court probably didn't expect that the refugees nearby would suddenly attack the capital, and it was very likely that they were caught off guard and were attacked by those refugees. We didn't see the specific situation, but we only heard about the people who escaped...!"

A person next to him sneered and said: "10,000+ refugees poured into the capital, what will be the result? Inside the capital, singing and dancing, and rich clothes and fine food, since they rushed in, they would naturally rob and kill everywhere. Those refugees are no different from bandits now. I've heard that the nearby bandits who were just hunting for wild food, when they heard that the capital was in chaos, they would go to the capital one after another like cats smelling fishy. With these bandits mixed in, there will be no good results. "

Chu Huan's expression turned serious.

"Isn't there General Lei in the southeast?" Qi Hong asked from the side, "Can't General Lei stop the way of heaven?"

"General Lei?" The young master said, "You mean General Lei Guheng? I heard that he died in battle and died for his country. I don't know if it's true or not, but it seems like the commander of the army on the edge of Qinshui It's General Miao. After the capital was rushed by refugees, I heard that Qinshui's defenders lost their morale all of a sudden. Opposite this was the overwhelming crowd of Taoists from the Heavenly Sect, but the capital was in chaos again. Who would have the heart to continue fighting? I heard that Many people fled, but General Miao was a hero, and he still led his army to defend Qinshui. I heard that he sent a troop back to save the capital... Hey, the soldiers are in chaos, what is going on over there now? Not quite sure."

Chu Huan nodded slightly, arched his hands, thanked him, and returned to his seat with a dignified expression, Qi Hong's expression was also extremely stern, and said in a low voice: "Chu Du, if the capital is really in chaos, the defenders by the Qin River will support you." not go down."

Chu Huan nodded slightly, knowing what Qi Hong meant.

The Qinshui garrison is fighting the enemy on the front line, and its logistics is supplied from the capital to the front. If the capital falls, the logistics supply of Qinshui's officers and soldiers will be cut off. Might last.

"The crown prince sits in the capital, if the capital falls, what will happen to the crown prince now?" Qi Hong whispered: "Could it be possible that the crown prince will also fall into the hands of the mob?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said: "It's hard for us to judge the specific situation, but the prince is not an ordinary person. It is really not easy for the mob to catch him. Although the mob invaded the capital, as far as I know, the imperial city wall It is strong and tall, it is a city within a city, and there should be royal guards stationed in the imperial city, as long as it is not invaded by regular troops, without siege weapons, it is difficult to take down the imperial city with only the gang of mobs... The situation is critical Next, the crown prince may hide in the imperial city...!"

Qi Hong himself was a member of the Guards, and he knew the imperial city quite well. He nodded and said, "What Governor Chu said is very true. The imperial city is extremely strong, and the four gates are all made of copper. As long as the key points are guarded, tens of thousands of troops will attack. It won’t be easy to break through.”

"It seems that the pass is really in chaos." Chu Huan sighed: "We have been in the northwest for the past two years, but the situation in the pass is also changing... Yes, Qi Hong, they said that General Lei died for the country, do you think it is true or not? "

Qi Hong smiled and said: "I'm afraid this is just hearsay. In times of turmoil, there will be all kinds of rumors. General Lei has experienced hundreds of battles and is extremely brave. He still has five hundred thunder cavalry under his command. , but if you want to protect yourself, there should be no problem. Maybe General Lei has retreated to the capital, as long as General Lei is there, no matter how many people there are, the mob will eventually be driven out of the capital." Although he smiled, but In the depths of his eyes, there was a look of worry.

Lei Guheng is one of the four famous generals of the empire, he has a high prestige in the army, and he is respected by the soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty. Qi Hong was originally a soldier, so he naturally has awe of Lei Guheng.

Chu Huan also forced a smile and said, "You're right. General Lei is a famous general who has experienced many battles. Although Tianmen Dao has a large number of people, it is only a mob after all. Naturally, General Lei cannot be lost in their hands...!" At this time, I heard the sound of horseshoes, looked up, and saw a horse galloping towards me from a distance. The man on horseback was wearing a gray gown, and on a sunny day, he was wearing a bamboo hat, which is the most common in Northwest China. , The steed galloped over, came to the front of the tea shed, got off the horse without taking off the bamboo hat, took a small package in his hand, entered the tea shed, lowered his head, and with the bamboo hat in front of his face, he went straight to the corner for a while. At the table, the waiter had already stepped forward and asked, "What do you want to eat, sir, here are steamed buns and noodles...!"

The man coughed twice, and his voice was crisp: "Here are two steamed buns...!"

Before he could finish his sentence, a person next to the young master laughed and said: "Young master, it is said that the men in the northwest are very aggressive, but now there are so many sissies."

A person beside him smiled and said, "Where did you say that?"

The man glanced at the man in the bamboo hat, and said in a low voice, "Didn't you see that when some people walk, their buttocks twist all the time, what are they not girls?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a "bang", and the teapot on the table was hit hard by something, and it was instantly torn apart, and the tea inside was scattered and splashed.

"What a guy...!" The young master and the others immediately stood up, and the first person who spoke and teased had already stared at the man in the bamboo hat, and said sharply, "Are you looking for death?"

Qi Hong frowned, and wanted to get up to persuade him, but Chu Huan held his arm and didn't let him move. Qi Hong was puzzled, thinking that Chu Huan didn't want to cause more trouble, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

But the man in the bamboo hat said calmly: "The dog can't spit out ivory. The adults at home didn't teach it well. I will discipline your parents."

"Brat, did I say something wrong?" The man said angrily, "Twisting your ass while walking, what is it if it's not a woman? We don't care about you, you apologize to us, and this matter is over, otherwise...! "

"Otherwise what?"

The man immediately raised his fist and shouted: "Otherwise I will let you know how many eyes Lord Ma has opened."

The man in the bamboo hat still lowered his head and said disdainfully, "Why don't you come over and have a try?"

Seeing the arrogant tone of the man in the bamboo hat, the man was even more annoyed, and was about to go forward, but the eldest young master grabbed his arm, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Don't cause trouble." He threw a piece of broken silver on the table, and said: " Let's go."

"Master...!"

The young master said in a deep voice, "Let's go!" He obviously felt that it's better not to cause more trouble when he is away from home.

The few people under his command gave the man in the bamboo hat a hard look, turned around and wanted to leave, but the man in the bamboo hat still sarcastically said: "What? You say you are a man, so you are so useless?"

The Eldest Young Master and the others wanted to calm things down and not get entangled with him, before they walked out of the tea shed, they heard him still sneering, how could they bear it, one of them picked up a bench and threw it towards the bamboo hat man, scolding: " Those who don't know what is good or bad, court death...!"

The bench roared towards him, but the man in the bamboo hat raised his hand, reached out, caught one end of the bench lightly, put it down, and shouted: "Someone bullies the less with more, is there any hero to help?"

Apart from the bamboo hat man and the young master, there were only Chu Huan and Qi Hong in the tea shed. These words were clearly aimed at Chu Huan.

There was a smile on the corner of Chu Huan's mouth, and he didn't look back, let alone pay attention.

Seeing the bamboo hat man catch the bench, the young master and the others were stunned, then the three men under the young master's hand stopped in a fan shape and forced towards the bamboo hat man.

The man in the bamboo hat yelled again: "Some people bully the few with the more, the hero is quick to save people? Otherwise, they will be killed."

Chu Huan didn't turn his head back, but said loudly: "Friends from Jinling, in fact, there are many bandits in the Northwest who bully the good people in broad daylight. This kind of person is self-righteous. If you don't teach him some lessons, you don't know the heights of heaven and earth. Just teach him well, really If someone dies, I have some friends in the government to keep you safe."

The man in the bamboo hat suddenly raised his head, revealing a fair face. Although he was wearing a rough blue shirt, he couldn't conceal the delicacy of that face. The people under the young master's hands were startled when they saw that the man in the bamboo hat was so handsome. The anger in his heart was a little bit weaker, and one of them said harshly: "You doll, you have thin skin and tender flesh, you look gentle, how can you act so rude? We are just joking, you don't have to take it to heart Come on. Apologize, this matter will be over...!"

The bamboo hat man said pitifully: "You guys made fun of me first, apologize to me, I can forgive you."

"You...!" The man was furious immediately, strode forward, punched the man in the bamboo hat with his fist, and shouted angrily, "I'll break you, you little boy...!"

Before the fist touched the face of the man in the bamboo hat, the man had already stretched out his hand, grabbed the man's wrist, and then twisted it forcefully, hearing a "crack" sound, the man's arm was actually taken off.

The man was sweating profusely, and Chu Huan frowned. At this moment, he finally got up, went up to you, glanced at the man in the bamboo hat, then grabbed the man's arm, pulled and pushed it, and with a "click", he moved He put his arms on, and then cupped his hands and said: "My friends, the road ahead is still far away, you should leave early, it is not appropriate to cause trouble on the road."

The young master and the others knew that they had met a master, so they didn't dare to say more. The young master had already cupped his hands and thanked Chu Huan: "Thank you, Brother Zhou...!" go.

Chu Huan just turned around, raised his hand, and took off the bamboo hat from the man's head, but saw that the man with the bamboo hat had a man's hair on end, smiled coldly, and said, "Are you a woman disguised as a man, and come out to cause trouble?"
