Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 89 The Demon is One Foot High

The saint was angry and bled for thousands of miles.

During the 49 years of his reign, Emperor Liu Ji of Great Xia conquered the grasslands in the north, attacked the barbarians in the south, conquered the desert in the west, and conquered the Japanese slaves in the east. The Jingguan, made of bones, killed countless disobedient people.

Liu Ji's prestige in the eyes of Daxia's officials and people was as high as Emperor Gao's.

Jia Cong held up the imperial edict decorated with nine dragons, and sternly shouted: "Holy edict, Li Xun's death penalty is inevitable, and he will not be pardoned immediately. Those who don't want to die, all put down their weapons and kneel down for this official!"

"Children of the Jia family, how dare you falsely preach the imperial decree!"

Li Xun only took one look at the Nine Dragons decoration of the oracle and believed it, but he did not dare to accept the oracle.

He wanted to buy time for his relatives in the backyard, and hoped that his allies in Jinling City would come to rescue him in time.

drag!He is already dragging until the allies arrive!

Li Xun pointed at Jia Cong with a pale face, and yelled at Jia Cong, "Little Huangkou, you dare to pass the imperial decree, and take him down for me. When I escort him to Beijing, I will see him, Jia En." Hou, how should I explain to the sage and his old man!"

"Take me? Hehe!"

"It seems that you intend to resist the decree? If so..."

Jia Cong put away the sacred edict and put it in his arms, pulled out the Yanling knife from his waist, and said loudly: "Habayashi-sama listens to the order!"

Niu Ben slapped the breastplate with the long knife in his hand, and shouted: "The end is here!"

"Li Xun disrespects the will and disrespects it. On the theory of treason, Li Xun will be killed without mercy. The rest of the people are equal, but if they resist, they will be killed without mercy!"

"The end will obey orders!"

Niu Ben immediately entered the state of preparation for battle, and pointed forward with his long knife: "Bowmen are ready!"

clack clack...

The machine spring clicked, and the hundreds of hand crossbows pointed forward. The cold and terrifying arrows of the crossbow made Li Xun feel cold.

He turned his head and looked to the left and right, and the guards who had been fierce at first started to retreat, and some of them had already taken half a step back, ready to run away at any time.

Damn, wasn't this group of people very powerful when they followed me to bully unarmed ordinary people?

"Li Xun, surrender or not?"

Jia Cong's voice was like a reminder, and he hit Li Xun's nerves with a hammer again.

Li Xun hated Jia Cong so much that he gritted his teeth and yelled resentfully: "Jia Cong falsely preached the imperial decree and wanted to murder the imperial court official. You will take Jia Cong for me, and I will reward you with 10 taels of silver. Protect the official and go to Zhen's house." Go, everyone will reward ten thousand taels of silver!"

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

Li Xun knew very well what the people around him wanted most, and when he shouted out a reward of 10 taels of silver, Habayashirou's Hundred Hand Crossbows were no longer so scary.

In particular, the dozens of guards who were born in the rivers and lakes immediately resorted to their own indiscriminate moves and rushed towards Jia Cong.

There are those who spread poison, those who put hidden weapons, and there are wretched people who specialize in the lower three routes.

It's a pity that these moves are all useless in Habayashiro's eyes.

All threats come from insufficient firepower!
And Habayashiro's equipment is definitely one of the best in today's world.

"Fire arrows!"

Habayashiro's hand crossbow buzzed immediately, and the arrows of the crossbow were like shooting stars, sinking into the forward guards of the Li family.

Hundreds of crossbow arrows are extremely powerful.At such a close distance, these guards didn't even have a chance to evade. The sound of puffing into the flesh made Jia Cong's teeth ache, and then the entire front yard of the weaving mansion resounded with screams.

Habayashiro didn't even need to shoot the second wave of crossbow arrows against this group of Li family guards who only bully the people.

"Draw the knife!"

shhhhhh...

"attack!"

The Li family is not Wu Xun, no matter how arrogant they are, they have no guts to equip their guards with armor.

This leads to the fact that facing a saintly army like Habayashiro is basically facing a dimensionality reduction blow.After only one charge, all the hundred or so people brought by Li Xun were cut down to the ground, and few of them could even breathe.

On the other hand, Habayashiro, except for a few more marks on the armor where swords were cut on it, there is not even a single injured person...

No, there were two Habayashirou who were blinded by sand, and they were washing their eyes with water from a jug.

"Little General Jia, Li Xun has escaped!"

Niu Ben licked his lips, and said dissatisfied: "It's all because of these killers who only care about killing people and forget about business."

"Brother Niu, I see that you were very active in killing just now..."

Jia Cong glanced at the guy, and said angrily, "Go and search, there are all our people outside, Li Xun must still be in Zhizao Mansion."

"The last will obey!"

Niu Ben grinned, and was about to turn around and chase after him.

Jia Cong hurriedly called him to stop, and said: "Let the brothers pay attention, the Li family has been operating in Jinling for so many years, so there is no reason to use these methods."

……

Of course, the Li family's methods are not that simple. Habayashiro, who had been fighting in front of the front yard without any casualties, entered the maze-like garden and backyard of the Weaving Mansion. Two people died and dozens of people were injured in just a quarter of an hour. .

After being recruited by Li Xun, those three religions and nine streams who had mixed up in the rivers and lakes set up a large number of traps in Zhizao Mansion.

Jia Cong looked at the bodies of the two sacrificed Habayashirou with a dark face, and the murderous intent in his eyes became stronger.

"Report!"

A Habayashi who was looking for the way in front clasped his hands and reported: "The back hall of Zhizhi Mansion is blocked by a high wall, which is made of green bricks and stones, and the courtyard gate is thick. There are a lot of archers near the corridor and the roof. Brothers can't rush up, casualties There are more than 20 brothers, and we can't attack for a while!"

"Damn it, Li Xun turned Zhizao Mansion into a castle!"

Jia Cong felt extremely irritable. He knew that the Li family was not simple, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

"How much fire oil is there?"

Niu Ben wiped off the blood on the blade, threw the piece of cloth in his hand, and responded in a loud voice: "It's enough to burn the inside!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Throw them all in. Since Li Xun wants to die, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

For the first time, Jia Cong felt that benevolence of women is a very bad habit, but he didn't expect that Habayashiro died and injured more than 20 people because of his scruples about the women and children inside.

Niu Ben immediately took the order to direct the battle, and after a while, he heard the rumble in front of him. After the detonation, the fierce fire oil ignited the entire backyard of Zhizhi Mansion, reflecting half of the sky red.

The unpleasant smell hit his nostrils, and Jia Cong remembered the battle in Huai'an Mansion again.

"Brother Cong, is it a little bit hotter? Most of the people living in the backyard are women and children, and the holy decree only killed Li Xun..."

Xue Pan vomited until he was paralyzed, his face pale and frightening, which didn't match the image he was promoting.

Jia Cong stared blankly at the red night sky, and said coldly: "Is there anyone in the Li family who hasn't spent the bloody money that Li Xun obtained by squeezing the common people outside? Those money are all innocent souls, and those hard-working children were exchanged for it." Yes, those traffickers sent money to the Li family, and everyone in the Li family became sinners. Since Li Xun doesn't intend to leave a way for his family to survive, let's die together!"

Xue Pan looked at Jia Cong who was extremely indifferent, and half understood what he heard, but he didn't dare to ask again.

Stupid people have the intuition of stupid people, and their intuition told Xue Pan that Jia Cong had better not bother him at this time.

"Report!"

A Habayashiro hurried over and clasped his fists and said: "General, the backyard of Zhizao Mansion was breached, and a total of 110 rebels were killed, all of them were guards. The number of slaves and maids who were burned to death has not yet been counted." , no trace of the Li family was found."

Jia Cong asked coldly: "No one alive?"

"Master, no!"

Xue Pan shuddered, and Jia Cong also felt some discomfort in his stomach, but he hid it well.

At this time, another person came from the front, clasped his fists and said: "General Qi, a secret passage has been found in the ancestral hall in the backyard, Lord Qianhu has led people to chase it..."

……

Li Xun is a man who is well versed in the way of the cunning rabbit and the three caves. When Habayashiro attacked the high wall in the backyard, he had already escaped Zhizao Mansion with his family along the secret passage.

This secret passage was secretly excavated several years ago, and it leads directly to a private house by the Qinhuai River.

This is the house under the name of Li Xun's concubine brother. When he got out of the secret passage, the sky above Zhizao Mansion in the distance was already red with fire.

"Bah, the Jia family really doesn't have a good thing, they are so ruthless at such a young age!"

"Xun'er, what's going on? Well, why would someone come to our house to kill and set fire to it!"

Li Xun's old lady is almost 70 years old, and she finally crawled out from the secret passage, and her legs were trembling all the time.

Li Xun's wives, concubines and children around him were all crying and crying, but they were deterred by Li Xun's warning when they entered the secret passage just now, no one dared to cry out loud, even the baby in the hands of a concubine was tightly covered.

Li Xun held back his irritability, comforted his old lady with a gentle voice, quietly asked the housekeeper to investigate the situation, and then had someone block the exit of the secret passage.

After a while, the butler ran back and whispered in Li Xun's ear, "Master, the children of Jia's family were indeed deceived by your trick. They must have gone to another secret road, and the house in the south caught fire. We now Should we continue to hide here, or go out of the city directly?"

Li Xun cast a mocking glance at the south, and then arranged: "Let's get out of the city, Jinling City is not safe anymore. The Zhen family didn't say anything about such a commotion, and none of the people who made an alliance with us at that time came. Sure enough, they are a group of unreliable white-eyed wolves. Let's go out of the city and go to Songjiang Mansion!"

……

When Niu Ben came back, he was ashamed and complained when he saw Jia Cong.

"This Li Xun belongs to a fox. His mother actually set up a fake secret passage. As soon as we got out, we were ambushed by a group of people. If it weren't for the brothers who still had a little fire oil in their hands, we would have almost killed him." The confession is there."

"They should have escaped from the city!"

Jia Cong suddenly chuckled and looked towards the Qinhuai River.

Zhizao Mansion is too far away from the city wall, but it is close to the Qinhuai River.

Now that there is a curfew in the city and the four gates are closed, the only way to escape from the city is the waterway.

Jia Cong summoned Jia Shixi, and after whispering a few words, Jia Shixi left quickly.

Then Jia Cong and Niu Ben ordered: "Immediately remove all the valuable things in Zhizao Mansion, collect all account books, letters, books, etc., and send them to Xue's house overnight!"

……

On the Qinhuai River to the southwest of Jinling City, several boats floated quietly on the river surface. In one of the cabins, candles were flickering, and two people in Cangzhong were playing chess.

"Father's chess skills are getting more and more exquisite, my son-in-law bows to me!"

"It's your heart that's upset!"

Liu Chen, king of Wu in python robe and jade belt, looked at his son-in-law opposite, shook his head and said, "It's just a little Li Xun, with my king here, how can he really let him escape?"

Zhang Zhengju smiled shyly: "My son-in-law, isn't he worried about losing face in front of his newly-acquainted brothers? Besides, this Li Xun is not a cheap lamp. He has a lot of palace secrets in his hands. If it is spread by him, the saint His face is not good-looking, and the father will also eat melons."
