Let's not care who this group of people who rushed out to save them, Xia Hongsheng's mind was racing fast at this moment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The maritime merchants who have connections with the pirates must be within these three families. Now there is no need to doubt it.

Because Xia Hongsheng has only been to three places today, that is, these three maritime offices. If the pirates weren't from these three families, how could they ambush and kill them in such a place?

It is impossible for these pirates to know in advance that Xia Hongsheng will come to find the people of these three firms, and then arrange people here. Therefore, it can only be one of the three firms, and after Xia Hongsheng left, he ambushed and tried to kill the owner and shopkeeper of the Yiren firm, and the Yiren firm naturally collapsed. The pirates not only eliminated a competitor of their own shore forces, but also took revenge on the Yiren Merchant and established their authority over the maritime merchants of Quanzhou, consolidating their control.

Lin Daoquan? Cai Jindou? Zhao Yutian? Who of the three has a chance to ambush so many people here and wait so long without alarming the others?

With so many people, it's a big target, and it's hard to be found after hiding here for so long.

Unless......

Unless, these people weren't here a long time ago, but not long before they got here!

Could it be Zhao Yutian?!

Xia Hongsheng went to Shuntai in the morning and talked to Lin Daoquan for a while. In the afternoon, I went to Tongshun, and Cai Jindou wanted to leave them where to have dinner. After refusing Cai Jindou, he went to Xianghe, and talked to Zhao Yutian for the longest time, and it was already dark when he came out.

Calculate the time when he came out of Zhao Yutian's house and arrived here. If someone from Tongshun or Shuntai followed him and saw that he had left Zhao Yutian's house, he went back to inform him and brought an ambush, this time was unbearable. Because they couldn't have brought so many people here in such a quick time and ambushed them.

And if it had been ambushed here during the day, it would not be realistic. This is not a wilderness, although it is not a downtown area, but it is also in the neighborhood. With so many people hiding around here, it is impossible not to arouse suspicion, and it will definitely alarm the official patrols on the streets.

In this way, the most likely one is Zhao Yutian. As soon as he came out of his house, he sent for an ambush. The carriage was not moving fast, only in this way would there be time for these killers to ambush here, and only then would the spies who could keep themselves outside the Peaceful Merchant not have time to catch up with their carriage notice.

"Childe, let's go!" Qi Yong pulled Xia Hongsheng up.

Xia Hongsheng didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately reached out and pulled Li Chengqian again, and took advantage of the two groups of people to slash together, and immediately ran towards the deep and dark alley next to him.

Who is this who suddenly came out and cut down with those who were together?!

Xia Hongsheng was full of doubts, but he had no time to scruple and ran forward with all his strength.

Suddenly, I saw Qi Yong, who was in the front, suddenly stopped, immediately turned around, and with a horizontal arm, he protected Xia Hongsheng and Li Chengqian behind him.

"After folding so many people, I saved Xiahou out, and Xiahou left in a hurry without saying hello, isn't it a little rude?" The figure that appeared on the opposite side smiled at Xia Hongsheng.

Xia Hongsheng chuckled in his heart, what kind of person is this, who actually knows his identity?!

"My life is important, I don't know who your name is, save me today, and I will be rewarded tomorrow." Xia Hongsheng said to the opposite figure.

"That's what I want to do in the future." The figure on the other side smiled again, and as he spoke, he blew hard, and a fire suddenly lit up in the middle, illuminating a small place, reflecting a person who seemed to be in his twenties and in his thirties.

"Dare to ask your Excellency's name?" Xia Hongsheng stared at him and asked.

The man laughed again, the smile looked like a child, shook his hand, and said, "Xiahou has been looking for me since he arrived in Quanzhou?" Why is it that now that I am in front of Xiahou, Xiahou doesn't recognize me? ”

Xia Hongsheng's eyes froze, and he suddenly raised his hand, pointed at him and said, "Old ghost? You're an old ghost?! ”

"Ah, Xiahou is really smart, he can see my identity at once." The person on the other side grinned: "I've been thinking about meeting Xiahou for a long time. ”

Xia Hongsheng had even more doubts in his heart.

What the hell is going on?

The old ghost of the pirate leader will actually save himself from the pirates who besiege him?

It's incredible!

"Mingren doesn't say secret words, what do you want me to do?" Xia Hongsheng asked the old ghost.

"Have a cup of tea?" The man who called himself the old ghost laughed and said, "Have a glass of wine? I don't know, maybe you can invite me to sit in the Yiren Firm. ”

Now Xia Hongsheng knew in his heart that whether the person in front of him was really the old ghost known as the "Zhenhai Ghost King", he had something to ask Xia Hongsheng for.

Knowing this, Xia Hongsheng also put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Tea is the best tea in Yixiangju, and wine is the best wine in the Royal Wine Workshop." I am an official, you are the head of the thief, you and I drink at night, but it is also a strange talk. Please! ”

"Okay!" The old ghost laughed again, got out of the way, and let Xia Hongsheng go forward.

Suddenly there was a shout of killing behind him, and the armor leaves rattled, it should be the officers and soldiers who arrived. Xia Hongsheng's hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach.

Glancing at the man who claimed to be the old ghost, Xia Hongsheng turned around and hurried away, the old ghost followed, and everyone quietly left there along the alleyway.

When he was about to reach the Yiren Firm, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and he came to him in the blink of an eye. A person jumped off the horse, and with a brush, he knelt down on one knee in front of Xia Hongsheng: "General Qiyu!" The general went out on the front foot, and a horse team came out of the middle and back foot of the Xianghe business, and went around in two ways to chase the general's carriage. The subordinates immediately chased after him, wanting to inform the general, but failed to catch up, seeing that the general was surrounded, it was difficult for his subordinates to rescue the general single-handedly, so they had to immediately kill a thief and seize the horse to call the officers and soldiers! If your subordinates are ineffective, please punish the general! ”

"Get up, get up!" Xia Hongsheng shook his head: "You did the right thing, if you rushed forward rashly at that time, I am afraid that everyone will die there." I went to move the rescuers, and I did it right. Now you immediately take me to seal the letter, and order the officers and soldiers here to encircle and suppress the Xianghe business, and all those who have anything to do with the Xianghe business will be arrested first! ”

"Attribute order!" The spy immediately received the order, took the thing from Xia Hongsheng's hand, and immediately flew on his horse.

"Shen Rong! Come and find Lang Zhong! Xia Hongsheng turned back to Shen Rong with a pale face and said, "Find me the best Langzhong in Quanzhou!" ”

"Childe, don't get in the way, it's all skin trauma!" Qi Yong was drenched in blood, but he held the horizontal knife tightly between Xia Hongsheng and the person who claimed to be an old ghost, staring at him vigilantly.

"Old ghost ......" Xia Hongsheng stared at him and said, "What is the situation here, what is the secret, we have to talk about it." ”

"Oh, this Yiren firm is really rich, not to mention, this yard is really good!" The old ghost looked off-topic, and looked at the house in front of him with interest. (To be continued.) )
