Value peace

Chapter 52
Gu Xiyan sighed, and said loudly: "General, please be merciful. My servant is not rude, and I am here to accompany you. It's just that our car is full of female relatives, please give me a moment to rectify Pretend, the little girl is very grateful." Her voice was sweet and waxy, and her tone was sincere, as if smelling the fragrance of blooming jasmine in the quiet night, it made people feel at ease.

The man turned his head in shock, with unstoppable surprise on his face.

Gu Xiyan had already turned around and sat on the armchair. She signaled to Duanniang and the others to get out of the car for inspection, while putting on the veil.

But not every family is as practical as Gu Xiyan, the carriage beside them started arguing with the inspecting officers and soldiers, the voices became louder and sharper, and there was also the sound of women crying .

Gu Xiyan and the others heard that person shouting loudly beside their carriage: "What's going on?"

Immediately someone came over and replied: "It's the wife of the Zuodu Deputy Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate..." The tone was very embarrassed.

"Show them the emperor's imperial decree," the man ordered without hesitation, "if the trouble persists, the coachman will be killed on the spot. Your Majesty, I will take care of it myself!" The tone of the voice was loud and cold. ruthless.

This man acted ruthlessly but with subtlety.

Gu Xiyan's heart sank, knowing that they had met a powerful character.

The other people in the car also heard the man's words, and there were expressions of fear on their faces.Gu Xiyan hurriedly reassured everyone: "Don't panic, we haven't done anything wrong, just accept the inspection."

Only Duanniang was full of grievances: "In the peaceful and prosperous age, under the bright and bright world, this kind of thing will happen in front of the emperor of the imperial city..."

Gu Xiyan sighed, and believed that the wife of the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who was unwilling to accept the inspection also had the same thoughts and feelings as Duanniang, including herself, but now is not the time to breed such emotions At that time, she said in a deep voice: "Since they have an imperial edict, it is official business. Even the big officials in the frontier must cooperate with the inspection, let alone the family members of us court officials, we should set an example and bring a Good head!"

Duanniang fell silent, the carriage was dead silent, and everyone got out of the carriage one file at a time.

As soon as they got off the station, they heard a burst of shouting and cursing from the direction of Dongshi, mixed with the crying of children.Listening carefully, I could hear vague words like "Everyone run away", "Be careful to be caught as a thief by the government", "Habayashi army killed someone" and so on.

Seeing the man's expression change through the white veil, Gu Xiyan asked anxiously, "Go and have a look, how did you come back?"

Immediately, there were people who looked like soldiers running towards Dongshi beside him.

The man turned his head and looked at Gu Xiyan carefully.

His eyes were very dark, deep and cold. When he looked at Gu Xiyan, Gu Xiyan felt as if she was about to be swallowed up by the unfathomable sea water bit by bit.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but shudder, at noon on this hot summer day, a layer of goose bumps appeared on her body.

Fortunately, the time was not too long. The soldier who went to Dongshi to check the situation came back soon: "General, there is a riot in Dongshi!"

The man was furious: "Didn't it be enough to ask all the troops to guard the intersection for interrogation? Whoever spreads rumors there will be arrested and killed on the spot!" His voice was deafening and his tone was cold. I am afraid that everyone on this street Hearing it clearly, all the noise disappeared immediately, everyone was suppressed there, and the wife of the censor's family stopped crying.

Amidst all the silence, a four-wheeled carriage came galloping, and everyone couldn't help but look at the carriage.

As soon as the carriage reached the intersection, it was stopped by officers and soldiers. The people in the carriage stretched out their heads and said a few words before jumping off vigorously.It was a young man wearing scarlet clothes, he shouted loudly: "This is Jiang Xinglin from the Marquis of Weiyuan, who is in charge here?"

Both Gu Xiyan and that person gave a soft "oh".Gu Xiyan realized that the man in scarlet clothes was the ninth son of the Jiang family who just broke up with them in Hongshang, and only now did he know that his name was Jiang Xinglin.And that person narrowed his eyes, and went up to meet him: "I'm the deputy commander of the Yulin Army, Zuo Xiaoyu, I don't know what the Ninth Young Master has to teach." Hearing that tone, he seemed to know who Jiang Xinglin was.

When Jiang Xinglin heard this, he came over in strides, and said as he walked, "So it's General Zuo, I've admired his name for a long time, I'm being polite here."

During a greeting, the two had already met in the street, and they held each other's fists to salute, Jiang Xinglin said eagerly: "General Zuo, I don't know what kind of errand you are on this trip?"

Zuo Xiaoyu smiled "hehe" and said: "Young Master Jiang was also born as a general, so why don't you know the rules of the Habayashi Army, please forgive me for not being able to tell you."

"I was too eager." Jiang Xinglin said apologetically, "It's just that the situation in Dongshi is critical, and I hope the general handles it properly so that innocent people are not hurt!"

Zuo Xiaoyu frowned and thought for a while.

At this moment, things changed again.

A soldier rushed in and shouted nervously, "General, we have military information."

Zuo Xiaoyu nodded.

The little soldier said: "There was a scuffle at the intersection of Qinrenfang and Anyifang where Liu Baihu was in charge of the investigation..."

As soon as Xiao Bing finished speaking, there was a buzz of discussion in the street.

Zuo Xiaoyu glanced back solemnly, and the voices on the street immediately returned to silence as if cut by a knife.Zuo Xiaoyu called Xiaobing to her side, and said in a deep voice, "How about the casualties?"

Xiaobing hesitated for a moment, and replied: "At present, there is no way to estimate...the intersection of Anyifang Street is already full of corpses."

Gu Xiyan was not far away from Zuo Xiaoyu, just in time to hear the soldier's answer.She couldn't help but turn pale and feel uneasy.What kind of mission did Zuo Xiaoyu carry out? The scene was so big that it finally caused a conflict between the army and the people... Don't be a pedestrian in this riot!
Jiang Xinglin was standing beside Zuo Xiaoyu, he naturally heard Xiaobing's answer, and said anxiously: "General Zuo, this is not acceptable, this is at the feet of the emperor..."

Before Jiang Xinglin could finish speaking, Zuo Xiaoyu snorted coldly, interrupting Jiang Xinglin's words: "Young Master Jiang, this matter is very important, I advise you not to get involved, so as not to be misunderstood..."

Zuo Xiaoyu hadn't finished speaking when the ground suddenly shook, mixed with cries and gradually came towards this side, a group of panic-stricken men and women appeared at the street corner.Zuo Xiaoyu immediately changed the subject and shouted: "Lieutenant Yang, the archers are ready!"

With a "yes", a group of soldiers with bows and arrows lined up neatly in the middle of the street.

Jiang Xinglin yelled "No" sadly.

His voice was still floating in the air, and the white-feathered arrows all over the sky rained down on the group of people with the sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh". For a moment, only the war scenes seen in movies appeared in the sky. In front of Gu Xiyan's eyes.

Only then did she understand the meaning of Jiang Xinglin's shrill cry.

Gu Xiyan only felt that her eyes went dark, and she was trembling as if she was about to fall down.

Huilan supported Gu Xiyan quickly with her eyes and hands, and she heard Gu Xiyan yell "No" in a voice like a gossamer.

After a sound of arrows, behind the archer was a deathly silence, and in front of the archer was a crowd of screaming and screaming crowds.

Gu Xiyan regained her composure, and saw a woman with disheveled hair lying on the pile of corpses filled with white feather arrows, and she uttered a shrill cry: "Xiaobao, Xiaobao, where are you... I am mother... ...Little Treasure..."

Zuo Xiaoyu raised her left hand high and waved it, and the group of archers "swish, swish, swish" drew arrows from the quiver behind her to fully draw the bow, and the piercing "swish, swish, swish" sounded again in the air. "...

No, no, no, those people are common people...

Gu Xiyan closed her eyes.

This time, the whole street became dead silent.

"You bastard!" Someone shouted angrily, hitting everyone's hearts like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

Gu Xiyan opened her eyes in horror, and saw Jiang Xinglin, who was full of anger, being pinned to the ground by two soldiers and prostrate at Zuo Xiaoyu's feet.

Zuo Xiaoyu had a straight face, and a chilling murderous aura emanated from between his brows.

No, no, no.

A hero does not suffer immediate losses, and a man who knows practical things is a hero.

Can no longer die.

Unity is strength.

This time it was Jiang Xinglin, who would it be next?

Years of professional training played a vital role at this moment, and Gu Xiyan suddenly calmed down.

She pushed away Huilan who was supporting her with a palm, gathered herself together, and walked forward a few steps towards Zuo Xiaoyu.Just one or two miles away from him, a soldier stopped her: "Girl, please stay!"

The corners of Zuo Xiaoyu's mouth twitched, her eyebrows raised, her face full of disapproval: "She is a powerless woman, you are afraid that she will kill me!"

The little soldier resentfully turned sideways to let Gu Xiyan pass by.

Jiang Xinglin, who was held down by the soldiers, struggled to raise his head and shook his head violently at her, signaling her not to go over.

However, Gu Xiyan stood at the same spot and bowed her knees lightly to Zuo Xiaoyu, and said in a sweet and soft voice: "General Zuo, Mr. Jiang is young and energetic, and he doesn't know the dangers of the world. Please, General, look at it in front of Laohou Jiang." Come up to the high platform, please forgive Mr. Jiang once!" After speaking, he bent his knees and saluted again.

It might be because of his young age. Hearing Gu Xiyan's words, Mr. Jiang had a humiliated expression on his face. He gave up struggling, and his cheeks were weakly stuck to the gravel-covered bluestone slab.

Zuo Xiaoyu had a half-smile expression on her face, she looked at Gu Xiyan for a while, and Jiang Xinglin for a while, with interest in her eyes.

Gu Xiyan was baffled by him, and he didn't know why.

But Zuo Xiaoyu suddenly shouted: "Hurry up and help Mr. Jiang Jiu up, I have always given beauty a lot of face!" There was a hint of teasing in his tone.

The little soldier holding Jiang Xinglin immediately let go, but Jiang Xinglin lay there for a while and didn't get up.

Gu Xiyan signaled to Duanniang to help Young Master Jiang up, and then bent her knees to bow to Zuo Xiaoyu: "Thank you, General Zuo, I will repay you for your kindness."

Zuo Xiaoyu remained silent, her eyes flickered, she fixedly looked at Gu Xiyan.
