Lady Wan Guan

Just when the people were about to disperse, a group of officers and soldiers rushed over from the other side of the street. The leader shouted loudly: "Anyone who robs the court of disaster relief food will be killed without mercy!"

The soldiers wielded long knives and slashed at the unarmed civilians. Immediately, many civilians were lying in a pool of blood.

Gu Zhou stopped, his eyes about to burst, and shouted loudly: "Stop, stop..."

But the soldiers didn't listen at all and just killed the people.

"General Ji, stop them."

Ji Yunchen was so angry that smoke was rising from his orifices, and he and his men were about to rush forward to stop him.

"No..." Jiang Wanning hurriedly stopped him.

But Ji Yunchen had already taken action.

The people who were already in panic thought that Ji Yunchen and others were going to kill them. Someone shouted angrily: "What Gu Qingtian, they are basically the same group, and all the officials are the same."

"If they don't let us live, we will fight them to the death."

As a result, Ji Yunchen and others were besieged by the angry people.

All around were the cries and screams of the people, the light of swords, the shadow of blood...

Gu Zhouting's eyes turned black. He had imagined countless possibilities, but he did not expect the situation in front of him.

The situation was out of control. Even though he was always calm, self-possessed and resourceful, at this moment, there was nothing he could do except pain, grief and anger.

whoosh...

Amidst the noise, a slight sound of wind broke through.

Jiang Wanning's pupils tightened, and a sharp arrow was shot towards Ji Yunchen, who was entangled by the people.

"Ji Yunchen, be careful."

In times of crisis, Jiang Wanning called him by his first name.

Ji Yunchen turned around and saw a sharp arrow coming. He ducked sideways and hit the common people behind Ji Yunchen.

When Gu Zhouting saw this scene, he stared at the window of the two-story building on the street: "Mo Yu, Gao Shi, take him out."

Without hesitation, the two of them flew towards the building.

Jiang Wan Ning's mind was spinning rapidly.

It seems that someone wants to take advantage of the chaos to kill Ji Yunchen, and I don't know how many people they have ambushed.

No, the situation must be stabilized immediately.

"Xiao Pan, get the firecrackers." Jiang Wanning shouted to Xiao Pan below.

"Sir, we will capture the thief later and capture the king first." Jiang Wanning stared at the commander who was riding on horseback not far away, shouting at the top of his lungs and commanding his men to massacre the people.

Gu Zhouting already understood her intention and nodded.

After receiving the order, Xiao Pan immediately ran to the carriage and soon fetched the firecrackers.

"On it." Jiang Wan Ning said.

"Boom..."

A loud noise exploded in the crowd, and everyone was stunned. They subconsciously looked up to find the source of the huge sound.

Gu Zhouting seized the opportunity and pointed his hand: "Ji Yunchen, take down that commander."

Ji Yunchen stepped on the carriage and arrived at the commander's side after a few ups and downs.

When the commander saw someone attacking him, he swung his sword to block. However, how could he be Ji Yunchen's opponent? Ji Yunchen removed his sword with just one move and put a long knife on his neck.All this happened in a flash of lightning. By the time the soldiers reacted, their leader had already been held hostage.

"Put down your knife, otherwise, I will kill him."

Ji Yunchen exerted a little force, and blood immediately appeared on the commander's neck.

The soldiers did not dare to make any mistakes and put down their knives one after another.

The common people were also confused. What is going on?Why did His Highness the Prince from the capital get involved with the defenders?

Gu Zhou stopped holding up a small crossbow that Mo Yu had just found from the building, and said loudly: "Just now, there were people hiding in the houses on both sides of the street, taking advantage of the chaos to assassinate me and His Highness the County Prince. They What do you want?"

Gu Zhouting scanned the crowd, his sharp eyes seeming to be looking for the possible killer in the crowd, and the anger in his tone became even more intense: "The imperial envoy and the prince who were ordered to provide disaster relief died here, who suffered the loss? Who gave the order? "

"It is you who are suffering, the people of Dengzhou. When the time comes, someone will report it. It was the unscrupulous people who stole food and killed the imperial envoy and the prince. Then you will all become a mob, and the city of Dengzhou will be a river of blood... maybe You can’t wait until the day when the court punishes you, because if you continue to cause trouble, you won’t be able to get food, and you will starve to death long ago.”

After a pause, Gu Zhou stopped and said: "Then who benefits? Those who benefit are those who hide food and try their best to raise the price of food. Because the imperial envoy is dead, no one can stop them. Perhaps, those who benefit There are also the Dayuan people who are watching eagerly outside the North City Gate. They want Dengzhou City to be in chaos. The more chaos the better, and they can take Dengzhou effortlessly."

"So, now, those who still want to live should disperse immediately. I will give an explanation to the people of Dengzhou for what happened today."

Someone in the crowd shouted: "So many people died today, how are you going to explain it?"

"Today's fault is not with you, but with him..." Gu Zhouting pointed his finger at the commander controlled by Ji Yunchen: "I will give you a satisfactory result."

The commander wanted to defend himself, but as soon as he said the word "I", he was interrupted by Ji Yunchen.

"Be honest with me, otherwise the knife in my hand will cut into flesh."

The frightened commander shut his mouth.

The man who took the lead in questioning just now said: "Let's go."

A large group of young adults followed the man away.

Jiang Wan Ning winked at Xiao Pan, who understood and followed.

Seeing someone leaving, the others also dispersed, and they all dispersed in a moment.

Gu Zhou stopped the grain truck, stood still, stretched out his hand to Jiang Wan Ning, his eyes were clear and gentle.

Jiang Wanning hesitated for a moment, then held his hand and got off the grain truck.

Ji Yunchen escorted the commander over, and his soldiers immediately took him over and controlled him.

"Are you a subordinate of General Lu?" Gu Zhou stopped and asked.

The commander lost his previous arrogance and explained eagerly: "Master Gu, the last general is Duan Lei, the commander under General Lu. The Dengzhou government office asked General Lu for help, saying that the people were robbing the court of disaster relief food. General Lu then The general was sent to suppress the mob. The general was acting on orders."

Gu Zhou stopped and sneered, his eyes growing colder and colder: "From the time when the people surrounded the grain truck to the time you showed up, it took less than half a stick of incense. Commander Duan, you guys came really fast."

In this short period of time, a series of procedures were completed, including Dengzhou's government office receiving the news, seeking help from General Lu, and General Lu sending Duan Lei here. Is it possible?

Unless Lu Yiming and the Dengzhou government office had long expected that there would be a food grab.

Duan Lei had been waiting nearby for a long time, planning to take advantage of the chaos to attack.

Maybe Duan Lei didn't expect the situation to be brought under control so quickly, so he had to show up in advance, and even though there was no riot at the scene, he still ordered the massacre of the people.

What is the purpose?
Give him a blow, or create an assassination opportunity for the people lurking in the buildings on the street.

Ji Yunchen is the most likely person to become the next commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition.

After Ji Yunchen is killed, the north will still have to rely on Lu Yiming and Uncle An Ping.

It's really a plan that's so blatant that it couldn't be more blatant.
