Chapter 61 Raid
Chapter 61 Raid
The last step in chasing her husband is to block the arrow with her body.
"What's the reason?" Kong Ye asked.
Si Heng hesitated again and again, but chose to say it: "Because Zhuang Bai sent troops to Xialiang County to guard. It is said to be "guard", but it is naturally to protect the safety of Xu's house. "
Kong Ye was a little surprised. He had been by Xu Muzhou's side day and night for more than a year, and the news Xu Muzhou got almost couldn't escape his ears.
But this does not include what Si Heng just said.As one of the most powerful elite troops in the imperial city, the Shen family's army could not be seen by anyone who made any adjustments.
But since then, it is true that Shen Yi has never heard of Shen Yi transferring the army to Xialiang County.Even the letter from Hu Qinglian never mentioned this matter.
I'm afraid it's someone from Xialiang County, so I don't know.
"Of course they don't know, because Zhuang Bai did this in secret, and he didn't call Shen's army. The old eunuch wished he could keep eight pairs of eyes on Shen's army's movements, and rashly dispatched the innocent people in Xialiang County. Civilians push them into the fire pit!"
Si Heng was both excited and sad, "Actually...Zhuang Bai is not such a cruel and heartless person, although he never said it, but I also know that he protects Xialiang County not only for the sake of Second Young Master Xu. "
"It's that during the four months when he was away, Second Young Master Xu built a paradise for him there. If it wasn't for the fact that the government in Beijing and China couldn't be lost, he would have wanted to stay there forever."
Si Heng's eyes sparkled, and he spoke a little emotionally. Kong Ye waited for him to calm down before continuing to ask, "It's not Shen Jiajun, so who is it?"
The swordsman in black is always reluctant to say a few more words.
Fortunately, after thinking about it for a while, Si Heng could understand his concise words. "It's the local army under Si Fu." Si Heng said, "The day after I met Mr. Xu Er on the street, Zhuang Bai sent troops there."
Si Heng's mother, and Shen Yi's mother, are sisters of the same father and mother. The eldest sister married the regent of Beijing, while the younger sister went to Binzhou to marry the son of the old man.
Si Laoguo retired from the court and lived in the countryside. His children were no longer involved in government affairs. The three sons did not take the exam for fame.
However, the Si family army who followed the old Duke were thin camels that were bigger than horses. Although they usually fished and farmed, if the Lord had any orders, they would always respond to them, and would never hesitate to die.
Because of the close distance between Binzhou and Xialiang County, and because of the salty attitude of the Si family father and son, the world often forgets that the Si family army was once a good fighter, so it is a good idea to send them to Xialiang County. suitable.
That night, Shen Yi went to make an appointment with the Princess of Fengwu, but accidentally ran into Xu Muzhou on the street.
Shen Yi knew the dangerous situation set up by Jin Yuxian, and Xu Muzhou stepped in after all, and once he entered, there was no possibility of retreating completely.
And Xu's house, which was completely exposed to the public, was full of unarmed civilians, and it was bound to become Jin Yuxian's biggest bargaining chip to blackmail Xu Muzhou.
Therefore, Shen Yi asked Si Heng to contact his hometown in Binzhou that night. The local army rushed all night, and the next morning, Xialiang County was secretly surrounded.
Up to this point, Kong Ye just listened silently without expressing any thoughts.
Si Heng also knew about the affairs between the two of them. As an outsider, he was not qualified to intervene and speak, but that was the problem!
With Shen Yi's temperament, he can apologize, or make up for it with practical actions, but he is absolutely unable to do so if he is required to speak out about what he has done in private.
If Si Heng didn't have the cheek to meddle in other people's affairs, who could do that?
"When the Second Young Master arrived in the capital, Zhuang Bai treated each other with a cold face, but he never stopped worrying about the Second Young Master's safety. On the day the jade hairpin was smashed, Jin Yuxian's eyeliner was waiting near the punishment department."
"From what happened to Zhao Kun, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, we can see that almost all the high-ranking officials in the six ministries of the court have become the lackeys of the eunuch. If he doesn't act ruthlessly, the second son will be in danger immediately."
Si Heng really spoke earnestly, "A broken mirror is hard to reunite, that's what it says...but... Zhuang Bai treats the second young master with sincerity."
".. Zhuang Bai, he is not as bad as the world thinks."
After the night talk, Si Heng returned to the Prince Regent's Mansion, and Kong Ye also relayed the young master's words to Xu Muzhou in full.
The people in the room who were happily eating and eating supper all fell silent in an instant.
A Yuan was the first to lose her composure, her little baby face was full of dissatisfaction: "Young Master Si Heng is Prince Shen's cousin, of course he is against Prince Shen."
"But who will feel sorry for our young master!"
It has been more than a year since Shen Yi disappeared suddenly on the day of the wedding, and A Yuan watched with her own eyes how her young master lived day by day.
Lord Shen doesn't want to show weakness, so why not his young master?The damage that the prince brought to him was far more than what he had shown.
As for Xu Muzhou, he was not as excited as A Yuan, he was extremely calm now, the only thing that was disturbing was that his guess was confirmed.
Xu Muzhou naturally had doubts as to why Jin Yuxian didn't use everyone in Xu Zhai as a threat, and Xu Muzhou had even speculated about the reason behind it.
It's just that he deliberately didn't allow himself to think deeply at the time, for fear of thinking too much and making mistakes, and being sentimental.
And now... regarding Shen Yi, Xu Muzhou is not willing to talk about it in depth for the time being.Coincidentally, next month, the annual martial arts conference will be held in Liuzhou.
As the leader of the Shadow River League, Xu Muzhou was naturally going to attend the meeting.This is also the first time after the disintegration of the Red Flower Society, the Shadow River League appeared in the martial arts world as the most popular gang in the Jianghu.
In the past, the Red Flower Society was very powerful and its foundation was extremely stable. Although the general situation is gone now, there must still be a remnant party in the martial arts that supports them.
Furthermore, with Jin Qiantui's ruthlessness, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity to be a hindrance.Therefore, this trip to Liuzhou is the key to whether the current position can be held more securely.
"Let's put aside other things for now. The most important thing right now is to get over the matter of the martial arts conference." Xu Muzhou held up the teacup, which contained the newly purchased barley tea from the market this morning.
It tastes like rice.
Pei Yunchu glanced at Xu Muzhou with meaningful eyes, "If you don't clarify the matter between you and Lord Shen, Mr. Siheng may come to the door again later."
"It's better for you to express your attitude on this. Lao Aye will pass the message as it is, and you don't need to worry about it in the future. It will also be beneficial for you to concentrate on thinking about the martial arts conference."
Xu Muzhou did show a bright but helpless smile: "Uncle Pei, if you want to talk about "clear", then I have already made it clear with Lord Shen.I don't want to worry about other things now, let's talk about it when I come back from Liuzhou. "
As soon as Xu Muzhou acted like a baby, Pei Yunchu couldn't force him anymore.
But Pei Yunchu knew in his heart that it was just a matter of refusal, and there was no need to procrastinate.What's more, Xu Muzhou has never been a procrastination person.
He is avoiding, or rather, escaping.Si Heng's words relayed by Kong Ye must have disturbed Xu Muzhou's mind.
After all, he likes Zhuang Bai so much.
However, he might not be able to bear his vacillation either. It just so happened that the martial arts conference in Liuzhou provided an excellent excuse.
However, having said that, Xu Muzhou is shaken by Shen Yi now, will this wavering disappear when he returns from the trip to Liuzhou?Pei Yunchu didn't want to deceive himself.
Speaking of Shen Yi, the news of the martial arts conference quickly reached him, and when he learned that Xu Muzhou would travel far to attend the conference, Shen Yi's alarm bell rang naturally.
From the capital city to Liuzhou, whether it is close or far, there are the most mountain roads. If he is the desperate Jin Yuxian, he will definitely choose to arrange an ambush in this dense forest and star-studded mountain road.
Shen Yi guessed so.
Therefore, sending more people along the road to protect Xu Muzhou's safety has become a top priority.Although Xu Muzhou was surrounded by hidden guards and peerless masters, sometimes two fists were no match for four hands, so Shen Yi had to personally arrange the manpower so that Shen Yi could rest assured.
Therefore, Shen Yi specially mobilized a small group of people from the Shen family's army, and arranged soldiers one after another at places that Xu Muzhou must pass along the way.
It was like a diamond circle, surrounding Xu Muzhou in the center, as long as he stayed in this circle, it would be difficult for any monsters to get close to him.
But it's strange to say that both Shen Yi and Xu Muzhou felt that the trip to Liuzhou was an excellent opportunity for revenge for Jin Yuxian.
After all, he was out of the capital, and the Shen family's eyes and ears were all useless. If he didn't take advantage of the opportunity, he would not find a good opportunity when Xu Muzhou returned to the capital safely.
However, everything went smoothly from Xu Muzhou to Liuzhou, participated in the ten-day martial arts conference, and then returned to Beijing. It seems that Jin Yuxian really did not set an ambush.
This surprised both Xu Muzhou and Shen Yi.
However, it is a good thing to be safe and smooth. When Shen Yi got the news that Xu Muzhou and his party were about to return to Beijing, he was overjoyed and thought of going to the gate of the city to pick them up.
Even if Xu Muzhou didn't want to see him, he always had to see him with his own eyes, so that his hanging heart could be at ease.If Xu Muzhou doesn't want to, then he can just take a look from a distance at worst, so it's okay not to disturb people.
In the end, it was as if he wanted to tease someone intentionally. The front was peaceful, but when Shen Yi went there, something happened.
Let's say that Xu Muzhou is only traveling with Shi Daoqing this time, plus the shadow guards hiding in the dark, there are three people in total, and a dilapidated small carriage is enough as a means of transportation.
The pony carriage drove to the gate of the capital city. Shi Daoqing, who was watching the scenery by the window, whistled lightly, and pointed out meaningfully: "Tsk tsk tsk, I came here to welcome you."
"Worthy of being my apprentice, you just want to attract people's love."
Xu Muzhou knew that he was talking about Shen Yi, but he just rolled his eyes helplessly, got up and got off the carriage, and cooperated with the soldiers stationed at the city gate to check his identity.
Glancing quietly in front of him, Shen Yi was indeed standing there, but he didn't seem to want to come over.
Xu Muzhou scolded himself in his heart, thinking about what to do so much, it has nothing to do with him where people are willing to stand, whether they can walk or not.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to get back into the carriage, the attack that had been hiding in the calm and calm came suddenly.
A group of killers in night suits, black scarves on their faces, and black cloth on their heads suddenly sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
Shi Daoqing and Kong Ye naturally used their own kung fu.
But the attack of the killers was still too fierce, and even the innocent officers and soldiers in front of the city gate were brutally murdered.But the target of this group of people is of course not other people, but Xu Muzhou.
Even, in a dark place where no one noticed, a sharp feathered arrow was quietly aiming at Xu Mu Zhou's back. With a "whoosh", Xu Muzhou heard the sound of a sharp arrow shooting at him.
But the arrow did not penetrate his body, but it seemed that someone was standing behind him.
