Chapter 866: The Battle in the Alley
The negotiation was not too long, and Xia Nan's request was something that Yang Sichang could not reply, and he had to ask Chongzhen for instructions, and several people broke up unhappily.
Yang Sichang, Wen Tiren, Fang Zhenghua and others returned to the palace to the north, and returned to the military camp in the south in the summer, and went south, and parted ways at the gate of the Fusi Ya in Beizhen. Before leaving, Wen Tiren gave Xia Nan a "look at me next" look, signaling that he would enter the palace to promote this matter to Chongzhen, and Xia Nan bowed slightly to indicate that he knew.
After leaving the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, Xia Nan felt uncomfortable and looked back frequently.
Sima De asked puzzledly: "Today's matter has the secret help of Elder Wen Ge and the Master of Ceremonies Fang Gonggong, nine times out of ten, it can be done, and then the general's power will be able to cross the north and south, and can affect the general trend of the world, it can be said that he is the first military general in this dynasty, is there any dissatisfaction?" ”
"It's not because of this, but I came to Jinyiwei's lair, and there was nothing wrong, which is a bit strange." Xia Nan explained, "In Guangzhou, you can meet Jinyiwei when you go down to the restaurant for a meal; In Nanjing, drinking flower wine with Wei Guogong was also assassinated and caused trouble; When I arrived in Beijing, I was still pointed at by the little girl when I went to the kiln, so that now I have a shadow in my heart when I go out. Now I have taken a turn in the infamous North Town Fuji, and I am actually safe and sound? And don't you think the whole street is too quiet? ”
Sima De and the others looked left and right, disapproving, regardless of the officials and the people, they were afraid of the power of Jinyiwei and did not dare to pass by this street, so it was normal to see a few pedestrians on the street, and it was the same before coming. However, they did not dare to accuse the general of making a fuss, and only echoed a few words.
"yes, it seems to be quite quiet......"
Xia Nan looked at the two stone lions at the entrance of Fusi in Beizhen, grinned, and seemed to be laughing at him for being nervous, shaking his head, thinking that he might have a shadow because of several attacks, and he had persecution paranoia.
The group came to a long alley, which was the only way to the adjacent street. The alley is not long, only more than 100 steps long, and standing at one end of the alley, it seems that you can hear the noise coming from the street at the other end.
When I walked to the middle of the alley, there were small footsteps at both ends of the front and back, and a group of masked men with sharp knives suddenly appeared, blocking the exits at both ends of the alley.
Xia Nan slapped his cheek lightly, "Look at my crow's mouth......"
Sima De and the others' faces changed, the general was really afraid of something, now it's okay, he was made dumplings in the alley.
The masked man slowly approached, and one of the tall men spoke: "We are here to seek revenge, as long as we take him away, it has nothing to do with others, and those who know each other should not be involved." As he spoke, he pointed at Murong Longcheng.
The fish has finally taken the bait! Xia Nan was secretly happy in his heart, and he brought Murong Longcheng to achieve this purpose. However, he didn't plan to hand them over obediently, because in this way, he would never be able to know Murong Longcheng's background. After all, this is a rare talent, as long as you find out your background and there is no threat to yourself, you can still stay and reuse. Even if there is a problem, you must know the ins and outs of it, so as not to leave a future trouble.
He asked tentatively, "Can you tell me why?" This is my subordinate, and it is impossible to hand it over to you for no reason. ”
The man who spoke said impatiently: "Where did you come from so much nonsense, you only have two choices, either hand him over or bury him." If you want to thwart us, try to see if you can get out of this alley today? ”
Xia Nan looked left and right and asked, "How many of you are there?" ”
"Does it make sense to ask? More than you anyway. The man waved his hand, motioned for the person on the other side to press on, and he slowly approached with the person here. Dozens of masked men blocked Xia Nan and his party in the middle from both sides.
The man smirked: "Unless you can fly the eaves and walk the wall, you can only be caught." I'll give you one last chance to hand over the people we want, or you're welcome. ”
"You don't dare to kill me!" Xia Nan suddenly burst into a sentence.
The man was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?" ”
"I said, you don't dare to do anything to me." Xia Nan stared at him, "I want to have three longs and two shorts, and the army outside the city rebels, you can't afford this responsibility, right?" ”
"This ......" The leader is none other than Jinyi Wei Qianhu Wei Zhong, and when he heard Xia Nan's words, he was completely stunned, as if the other party was right.
Although Jinyiwei is awesome and coaxing, it is all aimed at officials who have no military power, and the backer behind them is the emperor. Now I want to investigate a major rebellion case that Jinyiwei has been tracking for nearly ten years, and it seems that he is justified, but the person involved in the case is not Xia Nan himself, but one of his subordinates, as long as he doesn't know anything, what can he do? If you don't have any scruples, you don't need to cover your face. If you really want to hurt Xia Nan and force the army of Qionghai Town back, what good is Jinyiwei? Maybe the person in charge of this operation will be pushed out by the angry emperor and slashed with a knife.
Xia Nan smiled, "Your reaction tells me the answer." In that case, I have nothing to fear. He turned to Shimazu Chiyo and ordered, "Send a signal, call someone." ”
Chiyo Shimazu took out a long tube-shaped object from his bosom, lit it with a fire, and held it high in the air.
"Chirp-pop", a flame exploded in the air, and it could be seen from miles away.
Wei Zhong was stunned, and he asked: "This is in the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, not in the countryside of your Qiongzhou, are you crazy?" As soon as this thing sounds, the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and Shuntianfu will come over, and if they find a large number of people and horses gathered, maybe they will mobilize the army of the Beijing camp......"
Xia Nan replied to him seriously: "I'm not crazy, I know what I'm doing." Aren't you just a bunch of robbers? I'll kill you and run away, don't care what kind of soldiers and horses he is, what kind of capital camp he is, and when they come, they won't even be able to see a single hair. ”
A robber of the strongman? Kill them all? Wei Zhong was speechless. He had an impulse to take off the masked face towel and tell the other party that we are Jinyiwei, investigating and handling major cases of rebellion, and don't treat us as gangsters who knock on the streets.
Before he could think of a countermeasure, dense footsteps sounded behind him, and a large group of sturdy men poured into the alley, surrounding Wei Zhong and the others.
Wei Zhong could see at a glance that although these people were wearing ordinary people's clothes, they were all very strong, and they marched in an orderly manner, as if they were elite soldiers from the army - Xia Nan killed this day, and actually ambushed so many people nearby, did he directly transfer the army?
