Zheshu

Chapter 91 Private Soldiers
The day of entering Beijing came quickly, and they were about to set off before they had recovered their breath at the border.

Ji Rui didn't want that seat, and as for Ji Wuhuan, he didn't want it even more, but now he had to. If Ji Yun was allowed to continue to spend like this, Great Wei would be in danger, which was not what he wanted to see.

His [-] troops have always had enough food and grass, and they hid in a valley not far from the capital, so he directly transferred his troops when he went back this time.

When Ji Yun got the news, Dayan just called. If he left, all the hard work in the past year would be in vain.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" In the camp, the ministers below all panicked, Ji Wuhuan returned to the capital, and now Dayan was fighting against Nanzhao, who was clearly looking at the end of his life, and they were now in a dilemma. If you can't think of a way, you may be consumed to death here.

Ji Yun's face was dark and he didn't know what to do, but if he didn't go back, his throne might be lost.

"Order, I will go back to the capital first, you stay and continue to deal with Dayan, although Dayan's army is fierce, but don't forget, he was defeated by our army of Great Wei a year ago!" Ji Yunhan said.

Everyone looked at each other without saying a word, but everyone knew that they were defeated by the Great Wei back then, they were clearly defeated by the Great Wei God of War Ji Wuhuan.

No one dared to say that Ji Wuhuan was a big taboo.

Seeing that no one spoke, Ji Yun asked people to prepare chariots and horses to go back.

Unknown to the imperial palace at this time, the queen mother had already seen the imperial decree left to Ji Rui when the late emperor passed away.

After she finished reading, Dang even sneered, but the laughter seemed to have been held back for a long time: "It turns out that he has already prepared for it. He has been married for decades, and he still has no intention of letting me go."

Ji Rui stood on one side and didn't speak. His father could be said to be affectionate. He was not bad to Ji Wuhuan, but he was also ruthless. Whether it was towards the queen who had been married for decades or the eldest prince, himself, or himself His mother and concubine are extremely ruthless.

"If the Queen Mother is willing..."

"Of course I am willing." The Queen Mother calmly got up and went to the back room: "You go out first, later, this imperial decree will be announced to the world, and this palace will record Ji Wuhuan under my name. Since Ji Yun ascended the throne, , He only cares about fighting and disregarding the life and death of the people, he is indeed not suitable for this position."

After she finished speaking, people also entered the back room. Ji Rui didn't say anything, turned her head and left, but her mind was extremely complicated. The royal family seems to be like this. hope.

When he left the palace, he met the Empress Dowager's natal family, as if he had invited them here on purpose.The Empress Dowager's family only dared to come back to the capital after the late Emperor's death. Before that, they had been away, so they could not enjoy the honor of the Empress Dowager's relatives.

Seeing Ji Rui, the Queen's family hurriedly greeted him, but Ji Rui didn't speak, and rode out of the city on horseback.

Outside the city, Ji Wuhuan has already led the troops to arrange. Even if the Queen Mother agrees, Ji Yun will come back as quickly as possible. He must make a quick decision so that the people will not suffer more suffering.

In a small town outside the capital, Shen Qing and the others temporarily lived in the yard of a family of three.

Xia Rao had been busy outside for a day, and came back when it was dark. When she saw Shen Qing, her face was still a little gloomy: "Princess, I still haven't heard about it. It seems that no one has heard about Suqiu."

Zhang Xiaofang also listened and asked, "Did something really happen at that time?"

Even though no one wanted this result, Xia Rao looked at the pain in Shen Qing's eyes, and said: "If he was really killed, the body should be cleaned up by the government, but I went to find the person who collected the body. It has been registered, and there is no woman."

There was some hope in Shen Qing's eyes again, and he handed An An, who had fallen asleep, to the nanny, and looked at the sky outside: "Send some more people to look for it, and, who is the snake in this area?"

"A local snake?" Xia Rao frowned slightly: "I heard that it's someone related to Ji Yun, Princess, let's look for it now, maybe the timing is not good." She was worried that those people would not take her identity seriously. Instead, a murderous intent emerged.

Shen Qing shook her head slightly: "If you don't go now, the timing is wrong when Ji Yun comes back. Besides, Suqiu is a woman. I'm worried that if I find her one day later, she will be in more danger."

Xia Rao looked at the sky: "Now that the sky is over, why don't you wait until dawn and discuss it with the prince before going?"

Shen Qing knew that they were worried about her, but after raising her for so long, her kung fu has recovered and her headache can be suppressed, so going out will not be a problem.

"When the prince comes back, just tell him where I went." After finishing speaking, she turned her head and put on the veil hat and went out. She didn't go to kick the restaurant, but just went to find out, and she should be fine.

Seeing this, Xia Rao hurriedly followed. Zhang Xiaofang wanted to follow up, thinking about her three-legged cat kung fu, it would be better not to hold her back, so she hurriedly sent someone to sue Ji Wuhuan.

The town is very large, because it is right under the imperial city, and it is hardly affected by the war. Those who suffer are always the lowest level of the people.

After a little inquiring, Shen Qing knew the restaurant where the land snake Yang Bao often went, so she found a corner and sat down.

Xiao Er was very enthusiastic: "What do you two want to eat?"

"Just some common side dishes." Shen Qing said.

Her voice was so sweet that ordinary people would find it pleasing to the ear. When it came out, the men at the two tables next to her looked at each other and looked over with a slightly dark voice.

Shen Qing just pretended not to pay attention, and asked again: "Does the second brother know a girl named Suqiu?"

"Suqiu?" Xiaoer shook his head: "A relative of the two of you?"

"Well, we came here specially to find her." Xia Rao said, and as he spoke, he took out a bunch of big money from his sleeve and rewarded him: "Our sister has limited legs and feet, but she is beautiful and beautiful. Pass?"

"It's better than the beauty of the sky because of inconvenient legs and feet? I seem to have heard someone say..." The little brother was about to continue talking, when he saw the two men shouting dissatisfiedly; "Little two, what are you waiting for, serve us quickly!"

The second brother didn't dare to stay longer, so he immediately nodded and went down.

Xia Rao and Shen Qing looked at each other, poured tea and drank slowly, without saying anything.

Just now the two men sneered, thinking they couldn't hear, they started talking in a low voice.

"So I was looking for her, but since they are sisters, they must be doing very well." One of them said that his left eye was covered with an eyepatch, and he was obviously blind.

Another person laughed and said, "Fortunately, we sold it early, otherwise it would be troublesome if they found it, but these two delicate skins and tender meats may also fetch a good price."

One of them raised his eyes to look at the gray sky, and wrapped himself more tightly in an old cotton-padded jacket: "That's what I planned too." He paused, and the only remaining eye was full of calculations: "You'll be in a while." Keep an eye on them first, and I'll report to the boss."

"No." Hearing this, Two Eyes' eyes widened: "What if they still have helpers, I will suffer, I don't agree, One Eye, if you want to keep you, I will report to the boss , or we stay together, otherwise, or I won’t do it..."

"You—" One Eye spat at him, then looked back at Shen Qing who seemed to be unaware of it, the gloom in his eyes deepened a bit.

Xia Rao and Shen Qing looked at these two hesitant idiots and exchanged glances: "I'll stay, you leave first." Shen Qing said.

Xia Rao knew what she wanted to do, and shook her head: "No, why don't we go up and ask them where they sold it?"

Shen Qing frowned: "I suspect they don't know either. If it's human trafficking, if their boss is not stupid, they won't make it known to everyone."

"Then what should I do?" Xia Rao clenched her hands into fists, remembering that these people had sold Su Qiu, she wished she could go forward and kill them both.

Seeing that she was so angry, Shen Qing stepped forward and whispered something in her ear, Xia Rao opened her mouth in surprise, but now this is the best way not to startle the snake, so she nodded.

One-eyed and Two-eyed were still talking, when one of the two women who had been eyeing just now got up and went out alone.

They were considering whether to follow, when the one left behind said loudly: "Xiao Er, bring a jug of wine."

After two meals, this woman wants to drink?Wouldn't it be better to catch some?
They had planned to follow up, but they stopped again.

Shen Qing walked outside the tavern and frowned slightly when she heard Xia Rao's words. She originally planned to let those two people come out with her.

Xia Rao has a good capacity for alcohol, but this time, she fell down on the table after drinking a few drinks.

The one-eyed two looked at each other, immediately got up, went to her side, and pushed her: "Girl?"

The second brother knew what they were doing, so he didn't dare to say a word, only sighed that another girl was about to suffer.

Xia Rao didn't make a sound, and let them test her out before being carried out of the tavern by them.

It was getting late, and the wind outside made the two of them tremble.

Looking at the one-eyed person with his back behind his two eyes, he said, "Why do I always feel that someone is following me?"

"The ghost is following you?" One-eyed said angrily, "If you haven't brought the ox cart here, let's go find the boss."

He didn't dare to say more with his two eyes, so he quickly went to the bullock cart and put Xia Rao on it.

Shen Qing followed from a distance, saw the two of them going out of the town, and then looked at the signal flare that Ji Wuhuan had left for her before, her lips slightly lifted, and she stepped up to follow.

The two eyes driving the ox cart slapped the whip vigorously again, and the old ox kicked the mud that was not completely dry and moved forward vigorously.

During the bumpy journey, Xia Rao felt that her bones were broken, but she didn't even open her eyes.

"arrive."

The coachman yelled, and Duoyan hurriedly jumped out of the bullock cart with Xia Rao in his arms.

Xia Rao slightly opened her eyelids, and saw what looked like a village in front of her. Before she could speak, she felt a pain in the back of her neck, and she fainted. Before she fainted, she was suddenly shocked. Could it be that there are experts here?
The people at the gate of the village looked at Xia Rao who had fainted, and sneered: "This is the safest way, you go to see the boss." After finishing speaking, they carried Xia Rao on their shoulders and left.

Seeing this, Shen Qing directly ignited the signal flare in his hand.

The people in the village were startled when they saw it, but they looked around and found nothing, so they were relieved, but they didn't notice a figure sneaking in quietly.

Xia Rao didn't know how long she slept, and when she woke up again, she was already in a small thatched hut that was ventilated on all sides.

"Are you awake?" An indifferent female voice suddenly came, and Xia Rao was startled when someone opened the door and entered the room.

"Who are you?" Xia Rao asked directly.

The person who came saw her restored delicate face and laughed, "Of course it's your new master, drink the medicine first, and I'll take you to meet the buyer later."

Xia Rao took the medicine, and the fragrance of the medicine wafted over, she knew something was wrong when she smelled it, she raised her eyes to see the look of the person waiting for her to finish drinking, lowered her eyes lightly, and drank the medicine in one gulp.

Seeing that she finished drinking the medicine obediently, the person who came came was relieved, and the corners of his eyes raised slightly: "Take a rest, don't fall asleep, so that the boss can summon you at any time."

"you……"

Before Xia Rao finished her question, the man cut it off: "Speak less, you have been asleep for half an hour, our boss has been waiting for half an hour."

Xia Rao looked at her slightly raised eyes, and said nothing.Seeing this, the man also turned his head and left.With light steps and slightly swaying skirts, she is no ordinary maid.

Seeing people leave, Xia Rao just got up, looked at a pottery urn placed by the bed, touched the acupuncture points, and vomited out all the medicine she had just drank.As soon as it was over, there was a noise by the window, and then Shen Qing came in quickly.

"princess!"

"Hush..." Shen Qing whispered: "This place is not simple, it is not only a cottage, but also a place where Ji Yun raises private soldiers."

"Then we've made a mistake this time?" Xia Rao laughed.

Shen Qing smiled: "I just let off the signal flare, Wu Huan will be here soon, but seeing that the people here are quiet, I guess there are other preparations, I'm going to investigate again, you have to be careful for a while. "

"Wangfei must be careful." Xia Rao stared at her.

Shen Qing nodded, then turned her head and went out.

The night was dark, and Shen Qing was like a cat in the night, walking quickly between different eaves.

The level of security here is getting higher the further you go in, so it's no wonder that you don't take it seriously when you see signal flares outside, but it turns out that there are hidden secrets inside.

Ji Yun has a lot of research on the five elements and eight trigrams formations, which can be seen from his tactics, so the formations are arranged in the innermost part, but this is just a piece of cake for Shen Qing and Ji Wuhuan who are also proficient.

She easily passed through the formation arranged in front of the door, but before she could enter, she saw the two people walking out.

"Have you heard that the boss explained that he is going to do something big?"

"A big vote?"

"Yeah, I heard that the boss's real master has come to deal with King Huainan. Tsk tsk, King Huainan can be dealt with by anyone? Let's leave quickly, otherwise we will be cannon fodder in the end."

The two talked to each other, and when they left, they didn't find Shen Qing hiding behind a tree.

Shen Qing's eyes dimmed slightly, and she continued to walk in.

It can be said that there is a hole in the sky inside. The exquisiteness of the house inside is completely different from the shabby hut outside, but there are also many formations inside. It is no wonder that there are not even servants patrolling back and forth in the entire mansion. If outsiders who don't understand a little bit break in, they will be trapped in this formation.

Not long after, Xia Rao was also brought in. The escort obviously didn't know that she knew kung fu, so they just tied her hands loosely with a rope.

When Xia Rao came over, she caught a glimpse of Shen Qing who was hiding not far away, and nodded slightly towards her. She will be able to meet the so-called boss in a while, and of course she has to kill him with one move.

The boss here is said to be Ji Yun's right-hand man, but in fact he is not. He is just Ji Yun's deputy general back then. He is loyal but not capable.

Now in his thirties, when he saw Xia Rao, he squinted his eyes: "It's not bad, you can ask for 30 taels, you go back and dress up, and give it to someone."

"I said why the frontlines have been fighting, but you can still send money continuously. So it turns out that you specially arrested women from good families to do business?" Xia Rao looked coldly at the first man drinking wine with a relaxed expression.

The man snorted coldly: "You little girl, what do you know?"

"I know what you say. I just want to ask you, where did you sell Suqiu?" Xia Rao's hands behind her back have already begun to slowly untie the rope.

"Suqiu?" The man frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly remembered: "Oh, that lame girl can still order the palace, but it's a pity that I also crippled the other leg, so I can't resist anymore, why, you won't Want to learn from her too?"

After hearing this, Xia Rao turned pale with anger: "Say it again?"

The man saw that something was wrong with Xia Rao, so he clapped his hands, and suddenly there were about twenty armored guards on both sides, each wearing black iron armor and holding sharp knives.

"Why, you know some kung fu and want to fight with me?" The man sneered, "I can tell you that none of those who come to my place can get out. Don't think that I don't know who you are, that Suqiu is The former maid of Princess Huainan, if you come to look for her now, it is likely that she is also Princess Huainan, and I am still thinking about how to catch Princess Huainan tomorrow, so it is no trouble for me to send you to my door now."

He thought he was smart and looked at Xia Rao with contempt: "Little girl, are you running away?"

Xia Rao looked at his unbeaten face, stepped forward a few steps, and kicked him in the face before those armored guards rushed up: "Anything, dare to clamor to arrest Princess Huainan!" Xia Rao was so angry, The rope in his hand was also untied, but the fighting strength of those armored guards was really beyond comparison with ordinary soldiers, even if they were as good at martial arts as she was, they almost got hit.

The man took a few steps back and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the guard guarding him, but he shouted angrily, "Leave me alive, I will kill her with my own hands!"

Xia Rao snorted coldly, grabbed the spear of one of them, and pulled it out with her backhand, which became her own weapon, but it was difficult for one person to defeat 20 people. When she was thinking about countermeasures, she only heard someone report: "Boss, on fire!"

"Fire?" He snorted, "Hurry up to put out the fire if it's on fire!"

"But...but there are still..."

"What's the matter!" He became more and more dissatisfied.

The man shivered, pointed outside and said, "Huai, King Huainan..."

"What!" He stood up in shock and stared at Xia Rao: "Could it be that this woman brought it here? Go and guard the entrance for me immediately. There is a formation at the entrance, and the others will fight with me immediately!" He hasn't been on the battlefield for many years, needless to say, he didn't dare to look directly at Ji Wuhuan before, but now that he is going to fight against him, he has no confidence.

He asked someone to stop Xia Rao, and went out the door by himself, but when he reached the door, another figure flashed out and stood in front of him.

"I haven't given Suqiu's whereabouts yet, where are you going?" Shen Qing looked at the fire folder in his hand and threw it aside.

The man looked at her speechless, then looked back at Xia Rao, and said, "Are you Huainan Princess?"

"Naturally, why, do you want to arrest me to blackmail King Huainan now? I can tell you an easier way, as long as you tell me Suqiu's location, I'll let someone threaten you, how about it?" Shen Qing said with a bright smile.

The man wouldn't believe her, so he yelled coldly, "Take it for me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qing had already pulled out the saber from his waist, and the next second, the saber was already on his neck, so fast that he didn't even have time to react.

"Aren't you Princess Huainan?" The man looked at her in surprise.

Shen Qing smiled slightly: "Of course, I'll give you a chance now, where is Suqiu?"

"Hmph, what do you think... ah!" Before he finished speaking, he felt a burning pain in his ear, and then one ear fell to the ground.

"Say!" Shen Qing asked in a cold voice, the murderous aura in her voice was like a galloping sharp knife, making everyone's hearts tremble.

The man covered his bloody ears and yelled, "Kill her, kill her!"

Shen Qing knew that he would not say anything, so when others came to kill him, she grabbed hold of him and stood in front of her. Seeing the attendant who was stabbed with a sword, she directly threw him out, and that sword did not hurt Shen Qing. Hope pierced his chest.

Everyone present was stunned, the leader died so easily?

Shen Qing glanced at Xia Rao: "Go to the front door and chase those two people who arrested you."

"Yes!" Xia Rao stepped forward to leave, and those armored guards stepped forward to stop her, but Shen Qing had already raised her sword and directly killed her.

Her kung fu is more like it was practiced in blood, there is no extra move, and the move is fatal. In addition, the sound of killing outside is getting louder, and the people inside are also panicking.

After the leader died, the little bosses knew to call out all the private soldiers. The army of 2 people was elite, but they were not enough to command and use. They only hoped that the formation at the gate would be useful.

Xia Rao rushed out quickly, met Ji Wuhuan who was riding on a horse, and hurriedly said: "The prince, the princess is inside, and there are private soldiers in armor!"

Hearing the words, Ji Wuhuan reined in the reins in her hand, narrowed her cold eyes slightly, and rushed in directly.

God of War makes a move, unstoppable!
Ji Yun, who was thousands of miles away, never thought that the elites he had raised so easily without telling everyone would be wiped out by the leader without leaving any trace after making a small mistake.

After solving this problem, Shen Qing found many women who were forcibly captured by them in the backyard. They were all tied up, and they would sell them at a high price until they were obedient and willing to be bought.

After Xia Rao went out, she quickly captured the one-eyed and two-eyed ones from before. When the two of them saw that Mei Jiao Niang, who had been captured by him before, instantly turned into a god of death and destroyed their village, they immediately Dumbfounded, how could this little beauty be so powerful.
