Chapter 2: Two False Alarms

Everyone was shocked, secretly wondering if it was Ming Chengjun who changed his hexagram and killed him?

I saw that the enemy was riding on horses, and there were more than 400 black presses, and they were all over the long street, and the bells of the horses had been removed, and the hooves were wrapped in cloth.

When he got closer, he rolled down the saddle for the first few people, and ran a few steps into the courtyard, Qi Beishan recognized that it was the Qin family's helm, and said with great joy: "Yu Zhide, Zhang Chengju, are you okay?"

Yu Zhide is in charge of the Qin family's largest restaurant in Taiyuan on weekdays, Huibin Building, often greeted and sends, and his speech is extremely clever, he rubbed the blood on his face with his sleeve and smiled: "It's okay!"

Zhang Chengju's face was full of excitement: "Hey! After the uncle and the second chief manager killed them, there were more than 1,000 of our brothers left to fight to the death in the forest, and the people of Juhao Pavilion were very rampant, and we were out of breath! But later, the two masters of the enemy team, that is, the one who made the bead stick and the one who used the gun, found that we had escaped from the main general, and also left the battlefield to kill Taiyuan, and the rest of the people fought together, so we are not afraid of it! The brothers gradually recovered the decline by relying on the large number of people, and finally succeeded in counterattacking in one fell swoop!" When he said this, his face tightened a little: "However, Rao is like this, and he has also lost a lot." ”

Chen Sheng coughed lightly when he heard this, the corners of his mouth hung with blood, and he frowned, thinking of the battle situation in the forest at that time, he still felt cold.

Qi Beishan asked, "Jinzhi, how are your injuries?"

Chen Sheng shook his head suddenly: "Feng Hongye is indeed strong. ”

Chang Sihao heard him say this, and knew that his internal injuries must not be light, so he stepped forward to comfort him.

Qin Yi's eyes showed a slight look of respect, and his tone was not without emotion: "According to my estimate, the enemy in ambush will not exceed three hundred, but its formation is quite cleverly arranged, and all of them are brave and difficult, they are all elites of one in a hundred, at that time, our horse team of more than 1,500 people attacked from the front and could not clash several times, it can be seen that the two emperors of Fengyun not only have superb martial arts, but also have a really powerful command and combat ability!"

The crowd was silent. It is better to be famous than to meet, before contacting Juhao Pavilion, although they also know that the Qin family is not as powerful, but they are arrogant in their hearts, and they are quite resentful, and now in a battle, they know the roots, the other party is clever this time, and wants to win, only send a few people to come, if the army is killed, even if the Qin family gathers the helmsmen and others in one place, they can only be slaughtered.

Qin Langchuan said: "Juhao Pavilion is victorious and powerful, but they are too ostentatious and jealous of the imperial court, and they will have a hard time in the future." ”

Qi Beishan said: "As the old lady said, if they can expand to the current scale, the local officials will either benefit from it or be controlled by it, and the backers of the court are not small, but I don't know how their backers are compared to the East Factory." ”

Qin Langchuan stared at it for a moment, and said with a smile: "Whatever! Hey, speaking of officials, let's kill tonight, the movement is not small, and the government will know about it, but it just hasn't moved." Let's do it together, quickly transport the corpse out of the city overnight and bury it, Da Chen, after dawn, you prepare more gold and silver, go to the government and only say that the bandits are coming, the Qin Mansion defends itself, and fights back, the thieves don't know where to flee, the governor has a good relationship with our family, this matter is easy to cover, but the money is indispensable, and the subordinates must prepare gifts, and they must not be missed. ”

Chen Sheng has always done foreign affairs, and he has a bottom in his heart, so he responded: "Yes." ”

Qin Langchuan said: "Since the enemy has withdrawn, Ming Chengjun will not break his word, and the branch in Qinxian County does not have to be guarded against. ”

Everyone nodded, and immediately started to extinguish the embers, clean up the battlefield, and transport the corpses out of the city quickly, Qin Menghuan told the East Courtyard that there were also many corpses, and the people of the house went to the house, and another team of people went to wash the lotus pond to catch water ghosts, and at the same time fetched water to wash the blood stains on the ground, which was not clean, and went to the garden to dig and bury it. Qin Ziyin and the fourth aunt helped Qin Yi back to the house to recuperate, Qin Langchuan also went to the backyard to get medicine for Chen Shengyi to treat, and Qi Beishan was responsible for checking and registering the dead and injured in the Qin Mansion, so that the pension silver could be distributed in the future.

The moon is hidden and the stars are gone, it is already the dark moment before dawn, Chang Sihao looked at the corpses all over the ground in the firelight, thinking that this tragic scene is no different from the day of defending the city, but Lord Cheng led the army to resist the enemy that is fighting for the people, and he is still glorious in death, these Jianghu people are fighting and killing corpses all over the place, what is the meaning? Qin Langchuan said that Lord Cheng does not know how to advance or retreat, in fact, it is just the idea of Mingzhe to protect himself, although Mingchengjun is resourceful, but he uses it to fight for the territory of the gang for profit, people like them, only thinking about themselves, how can they ever think of others? Such a thing as laying down one's life for the people seemed to them foolish. At the night banquet in Qinfu that day, Qin Langchuan was ashamed to comment on the gains and losses of Lord Cheng, and he responded to it when he heard it, and he couldn't think independently, so he really had no opinion. Think of the couplet posted in the house of the adult Cheng wrote: "Seven feet great, you must do a few careers; "Honesty is the ambition of a great husband! Lord Cheng is bright, but he is much stronger than these treacherous and treacherous gangsters.

He thought that Lord Cheng's daughter didn't know where she was sold, and the life and death of the little boy Cheng Lian'an were uncertain, and he felt a pain in his heart, and he touched it in his arms, and was surprised: Master Cheng's family passed on the jade pendant, but it was gone!

Chang Sihao's mind was buzzing, and he hurriedly rummaged through it carefully, touched a soft thing, and took it out to see that it was the beige brocade bag embroidered with a white dragon that A Yao gave him when he was about to go, and then touched it inside, there was nothing, and he was in a hurry, thinking: "This jade pendant is a family heirloom of Lord Cheng, and when he finds the little son, he will return it to him, and now he has lost it, but how can it be good?" No, after returning to the Qin Mansion, I rescued Jue Xiang, and when I was chased by Ming Chengjun, Jue Xiang still touched it in my arms. Then he called Qin Juexiang to inquire, Qin Juexiang said: "At that time, Ming Chengjun was chasing too quickly, I had nothing to throw, I touched the jade pendant in your arms, you said that you couldn't throw it, I didn't move, and then I felt stronger than a crossbow on your waist, and I never touched it in your arms again." ”

Chang Sihao said anxiously: "How could the jade pendant be gone?"

Qin Jue said: "You and Ming Chengjun have a sword, and the crotch and horse are all shaken into the air, maybe you were lost at that time, you should still be in the courtyard, I will help you find it." ”

At this time, the fish belly in the east is white, the courtyard has been roughly cleaned up, Qi Beishan let people go to the backyard flower house arsenal, and let the maids out to clean the courtyard, these maids trembled all night, and at this moment they all came out pale, seeing the front yard hall collapsed, the courtyard wall collapsed, and there were burnt black marks everywhere, wisps of green smoke, and they were frightened, but they received relevant instructions on weekdays, and soon returned to normal, began to cook and clean up, and ran around to get busy.

Qin Juexiang had already called a few people to help, but he didn't find the jade pendant after looking for a long time, Chang Sihao sat on the steps, his eyes were straight, and the people in the courtyard came and went, and he looked at it as if there was nothing in his eyes, thinking that this jade pendant is very important, I will save the little boy, even if I meet, how can he trust me? Take out this jade pendant to rely on, and Miss Cheng is the same, now that the jade pendant is lost, nothing can be done.

Suddenly, I heard Qin Juexiang say happily: "Big brother, look what this is!"

Chang Sihao jumped up, his eyes shining.

Qin Juexiang ran over and handed over an object: "I picked it up by the window in the hall when I was cleaning, I think it was lost when we broke the window." Chang Sihao saw that it was Master Cheng's carved dragon jade pendant, and he was overjoyed to take it and said, "Thank her for me!" Qin Juexiang smiled and said: "What is a girl ring thanks, hehe, just reward her with a few taels of silver." ”

Chang Sihao carefully wiped the soil on the jade pendant with his sleeve, he was very happy, thinking that he couldn't lose it anymore, he probed deep into his arms, stuffed the flesh on the inside of the belt, patted it with his hand, and thought about it inappropriately: when the belt is loose when it is convenient to go to the toilet, it is easy to lose. I took it out again and put it in my pocket in my arms, and I felt inappropriate later: since I would lose it last time I put it here, I can't guarantee that I won't lose it again in the future.

He thought about it, scratched his head and scratched his ears, always felt uneasy, touched the inside of the clothes, looking for a suitable corner, and suddenly touched the bag sent by Ah Yao, took it out and took a look, this bag was slightly larger than the jade pendant A small circle, just suitable, couldn't help but be overjoyed, pulled the red rope apart, took out the rune paper inside, put the jade pendant in it, pulled the rope and hung it around the neck, it was like a necklace longevity lock, thinking that it was so resting in the bright place, it was easy to find if it was lost, it should be no problem.

"Aunt Sun!"

A call could be heard in the distance. Chang Sihao looked sideways, and the two maids at the corner of the hall rushed over, and it turned out to be Ah Yao and Ah Xiang. When he got to the front, Ah Yao looked Chang Sihao up and down, left and right, raised his arm to take a closer look, eagerly touched the bloody place on his chest and back, and muttered in pieces: "A lot of blood! How is this good? Where is the injury?

Chang Sihao saw her like this, and laughed in his heart: "After all, girls are timid, and they are so nervous when they see a little blood." Said: "Don't worry, the blood on my body is someone else's, and I don't have any of it, are you two hurt?"

Ah Xiang stroked his chest and said: "It can be scared to death, we are hiding in the flower shed, I can hear the noise in front, and then the left and right are also killing loudly, trembling and not daring to move, I don't know how long, the sound of killing is getting closer and closer, suddenly there is a steel knife, the door bolt is cut with a bang, a person poked his head in, and saw that the clothes were not from the house, he was a bad guy from outside, I and A Yao were squatting in front, so frightened that I almost fainted, but the thief turned back to his companion and said: 'Here are all handmaids, don't care!' and then killed elsewhere. The sisters in the shed were so frightened that no one dared to close the door for a long time, even though the door was left open like that. ”

Chang Sihao secretly thought that the people who gathered the Hao Pavilion were considered to have a head and face in the rivers and lakes after all, and they were particular about their actions, and they did not kill innocents indiscriminately, and they also had a little respect in their hearts. smiled and said, "It's okay if you're okay." ”

Ah Yao saw that there was a lot of blood on his body, although he heard that he was not injured, he was still relieved, and pulled Chang Sihao's shirt to check it repeatedly.

Qin Juexiang hugged his shoulders and smiled: "The little brother has several injuries on his body, but unfortunately no one asks, and no one hurts. ”

Ah Yao realized that he was out of shape, and hurriedly withdrew his hand and took a step back, and when he lowered his head, his eyes swept to see Chang Sihao's neck hanging from the brocade bag he had sewn, and his face was slightly red.
