Xu Yingyang agreed, and with a wave of his right hand, more than a dozen brocade guards walked quickly to the walls around the courtyard, and constantly moved the wooden planks and bamboo pieces to the front of the main hall. At this time, the children of the Nie, Lu, and Zhao families, who were originally standing on the steps in front of the main hall, had all walked into the courtyard and knelt behind Ji Dingzhong.

Cui Yanshou stood a few zhang away with the disciples of Tianlongmen, watching the thrilling things happen one after another, and his heart was terrified. Just when he was panicking, he saw Yang Zhenzhong turn to him and said, "Master Cui, there is nothing for you here." You'd better leave Xiuwu County as soon as possible and turn back to Tianlongmen. ”

Cui Yanshou was like being pardoned, reached out and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, thanked him, and turned to leave. But he heard Yang Zhenzhong say: "Today's matter, if it spreads, I am afraid that Tianlongmen will be destroyed, and Cui Zhangmen will know about it." ”

Cui Yanshou was startled, said yes again and again, and said his guilt again, so he hurriedly walked outside the temple gate with the disciples of Tianlongmen. Zhang Caomu walked beside Cui Yanshou, lowered his voice and said, "Nie Lao'er promised to give us 100,000 taels of silver, don't you want it......?"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard Cui Yanshou shout in a low voice: "Idiot! Now that you even have your life in the hands of others, you still want to ask for silver?!"

Zhang Caomu was startled, although he was unwilling, he didn't dare to say any more, so he had to follow closely behind Cui Yanshou and walked out of the City God Temple quickly.

Yang Zhenzhong saw Xu Yingyang and the brocade guards piling up wooden planks and bamboo chips in front of the main hall, so he said to Xu Yingyang: "You stay here and send Lord Nie and Mr. Xu on the road." ”

Xu Ying bowed down and obeyed. Ji Dingzhong and the children of Nie, Lu, and Zhao knelt on the snow, and after listening to Yang Zhenzhong's words, they lowered their heads one by one and showed their faces. A few people couldn't suppress the sadness in their hearts and were already crying.

Yang Zhenzhong said to Ji Dingzhong: "Master Ji mourns. Master Nie put aside worldly grievances, we should be happy for him. ”

Ji Dingzhong hung his head and was silent, his body trembling slightly.

Yang Zhenzhong glanced at Li Qiufeng, who had been standing in the shadow under the stone steps, and said, "Li Baihu, take a step to speak." ”

After Yang Zhenzhong finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the temple gate.

Li Qiufeng stepped out of the shadows and followed behind Yang Zhenzhong. When he passed by Xu Yingyang, he handed the embroidered spring knife with the sheath to Xu Yingyang with his left hand.

Xu Yingyang was stunned and was about to speak, but he heard Yang Zhenzhong say: "Xu Qianhu, you can keep this knife." ”

Xu Yingyang took the embroidered spring knife with his right hand, and suddenly smiled at Li Qiufeng, his expression was quite weird.

Li Qiufeng ignored him anymore, followed behind Yang Zhenzhong, and walked out of the City God Temple.

I saw that in the open space in front of the temple gate, I don't know when a large group of officers and soldiers gathered. At the front lined up four squares, all of them infantry troops with armor and armor, and two more groups of cavalry after the infantry army. More than a dozen fires were lit in the open space, and together with the torches in the hands of the officers and men, the surroundings were illuminated.

The two walked through the clearing one after the other. The officers and soldiers around were full of swords and guns, but no one stepped forward to interrogate. It's just that a few military attachés on horseback saw the sun passing by, and they jumped off their horses one after another, retreating to the side, very respectful. Yang Zhenzhong just nodded, but did not speak to these people.

It wasn't until he crossed the open space and walked on a big road that Yang Zhenzhong said, "Li Baihu has worked hard today. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Where can I compare to the hard work of Lord Yang." For today's things, I'm afraid that adults will stay awake all night, and I don't know how much effort has been spent. It's ridiculous that we are still kept in the dark and have become pawns in the hands of adults. ”

Yang Zhenzhong suddenly stopped, turned to look at Li Qiufeng and said, "Li Baihu, what you said is not right. None of the people involved in this matter are pawns. Today's events, without anyone, I am afraid that it will not be the current result. ”

Li Qiufeng sneered and said, "Now that the adults have won the battle, why do you have to do this? The case of Yuntai Mountain has been solved, and hundreds of widows have been killed in Xiuwu County, and this credit is naturally counted on your Lord Yang." Lord Yang has been promoted to the rank of official, and in the future, he may be crowned a marquis and worship the prime minister, and he has fulfilled the wish of the adult. ”

"Wish?"

Yang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Li Baihu might as well tell me, what do I want?"

Li Qiufeng said: "My lord wants to be a capable official who will go down in history, not just a military general who is 'in charge of the brocade clothes and guards'. ”

Yang Zhen let out an "oh", turned around, and continued to walk forward. Li Qiufeng followed behind him, but he didn't speak. However, he suddenly noticed that the lanterns on the high poles in front of the houses on both sides of the road had been lit at some point, illuminating the surroundings. But there was no one on the road, the snow accumulated a few inches, and there were no footprints left on the snow.

After a while, Yang Zhenzhong said: "Ru Yangwei commanded Hu Kun's house to enter five times before and after, with pavilions and pavilions in the house, water pavilions and bamboo forests, which has the style of a famous garden in the south of the Yangtze River. There were dozens of servants in Hu Kun's mansion, plus the sergeants who were served by him, and there were more than 100 people who ate in Hu Mansion every day. ”

Li Qiufeng was stunned, and he didn't know what the purpose of Yang Zhenzhong's sudden mention of Hu Kun's house was. In the sunshock, the feet do not stop, and the feet step on the snow, making a "creaking" sound. I only heard him say: "Walk out of the main gate of Hu Kun's house, walk out more than ten zhang to the right, and there is a small tavern on the street, called Songfeng Building." It's just that although the name of the tavern has the word 'Lou' in it, it is just a bungalow. The room was even smaller, and could only fit three tables. The original owner of the tavern was Chen, and when something happened to his family seven years ago, he gave it to a widow who had lost her husband. After her husband died of illness, her in-laws' uncles seized the family property and drove her and her two-year-old son out of the house. The widow took a little self-care and fled to Ruyang with her son. I heard that the surname Chen was going to sell the tavern, so he cashed the tavern, and from then on he sold wine to earn a little silver money for the mother and son to work hard. ”

The more Li Qiufeng listened, the more strange he became, and he didn't know what Yang Zhenzhong was talking about from Hu Kun's house, and what was the purpose of talking about a widow who sold wine. It's just that he knows that the city is very deep in the epicenter of Yang, and every sentence is not without a target, and there must be another deep meaning. He didn't dare to miss a word, and thought carefully in his heart.

But he heard Yang Zhenzhong continue: "Hu Kun goes to the school every day to order troops, and he has to pass by Songfeng Tower. With his identity, he naturally wouldn't take the bad wine and food sold in Songfeng Lou in his eyes. What's more, Hu Kun is in charge of Ruyang Wei and is the biggest official in Ruyang City. When he went out, more than a dozen soldiers cleared the streets for him, wielding leather whips in their hands to drive away passers-by. Every time the widow saw the officers and soldiers arriving, she hid in the store, and did not even dare to make a sound, so she could only hide behind the doors and windows and peek, and did not dare to show her face openly. ”

Yang Zhenzhong said this, paused slightly, and then said: "Li Baihu, aren't you very strange, why do I want to talk about such a widow who sells wine?"

Li Qiufeng was puzzled in his heart, secretly wondering if Hu Kun had taken a fancy to the widow's beauty and later did something illegal? At this time, Yang Zhenzhong opened his mouth to ask, Li Qiufeng didn't dare to say anything, and said in a deep voice: "Adults have always been unpredictable and profound, and Li Mou didn't dare to speculate. ”

Yang Zhenzhong turned his head to look at him, his eyes showed a sense of appreciation, and he said: "Among the Jinyi Guards, there are countless people with strong martial arts, and there are not a few people who are scheming. It's just that there are too few people who act steadily and refuse to pretend to be wrong. I've always wanted you to come back to Jinyiwei, and most of it is because of that. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "My lord praised it falsely. If Li is still on an errand in Jinyiwei, I am afraid that he will not be able to speak to adults as openly as he does now. ”

Yang Zhenzhong smiled bitterly, and said as he walked slowly: "This is also an honest saying. This widow is actually Hu Kun's friend. The father of her son is Hu Kun. ”

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, sure enough. Hu Kun, as the commander of Ruyangwei, actually had an affair with a widow who sold alcohol, and gave birth to a son, which shows that this person is vulgar and difficult to achieve great things.

It's just that he just thought of this, and suddenly his heart sank, and he secretly thought that Yang Zhenzhong said that this widow fled from Suiyang to Ruyang with her two-year-old son. Even if she hooked up with Hu Kun after she arrived in Ruyang, how could that two-year-old son be born to Hu Kun? Yang Zhenzhong had such a big flaw in his words, I was afraid that he deliberately said it to deceive me.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng became more and more puzzled in his heart, and he didn't know what Yang Zhenzhong's intention was when he talked about this matter without beginning or end. He was so worried that his right hand involuntarily touched his waist. It's just that the embroidered spring knife has been returned to Xu Yingyang, and this touch is naturally empty. Li Qiufeng was secretly afraid in his heart, and his hands were full of strength, secretly on guard.
