His sweetheart was surprised by his appearance, even if he only regarded him as his elder brother, Tuoba Mu found that he was still hopeless and overjoyed.
How could you be unhappy?
She is Miss Xiao.
Tuoba Amu's smile was a little strange, as if he was excited to meet again, and as if this scene had been repeated a thousand times: "Young Master heard that Jiangnan was planning to start a war, so he sent me here."
Tuoba Amu and his eldest brother were originally stationed in Huiyi City, but now that there is no war in Huiyi and the border is stable, he told his eldest brother to return to Langge. Within a few days of arriving in Langge, he learned from the young master Knowing that his lord had already sent a letter to him to prepare, as soon as he learned about the incident in Shouzhou, he took the initiative to ask Ying to rush to Guangling with 10,000 ghost slaughter knights to reinforce his lord.
So that’s it, Xiao Qingxue said with a smile: “Then let’s go to Dayanji to find Dad.”
Xiao Qingxue wanted to join in the fun of her father's Hongmen Banquet, but was also afraid of the bloodshed. However, she saw that the building was quiet and nothing was going on. Could it be that her father shook hands with those high-minded aristocratic families? Peace?
"Your Majesty sent me here just to welcome you." Tuoba Amu said sideways: "Princess, please."
Xiao Luolan looked at Tuoba Amu and felt that the child had lost a lot of weight after half a year in Hui Yi. She didn't know if it was because of the growth.
"Are Guo Gong and the others also there?" Xiao Luolan asked.
Hearing this, Tuoba Amu's face looked slightly strange, but it passed briefly: "Yes."
It has been such a long time since the banquet, but Sect Master Zhou still went to Dayanji with Mr. Guo. Could it be that the negotiation process went smoothly? Xiao Luolan secretly guessed.
Xiao Jingshu naturally heard it, and for a while he felt mostly regretful.
Everyone took a bus to Dayanji.
The wind on the riverside is very strong. Dayanji is a stone beach on the Guangling River. The amazing thing is that the stones on this stone beach are mostly round and flat. The large rocks on the shore are extremely high, each with its towering appearance. On weekdays, there are many People who rarely love fishing sit on the rocks and fish. When the river surges, the fishing lines are hidden in the river mist. The graceful rock fishermen look like gods.
At this moment.
In an open space in Dayanji, people from well-off families were kneeling. Behind each person was a soldier. Anyone who committed suicide by hitting rocks and rushing into the river would hold them down firmly and prevent them from moving.
These soldiers were so strong that they would suffer fractures and bruises as soon as they made a move. After trying a few times, most of them stopped moving. Only a pair of eyes were open or pleading, anxious, frightened, and desperate. Or a look of rage.
In the river wind, the thatch roots on their back collars were blown this way and that, and many people's bodies were also crumbling.
Guo Bi's eyes were about to burst, his eyes were red, and he stared angrily at the figure sitting cross-legged on the shore, fishing with a pole.
When Xiao Luolan arrived at Dayanji, he was slightly stunned. This group of guests who were supposed to be guests in the Evernight Building were like prisoners of Qiuzhan at this moment.
Mr. Xiao saw it clearly and felt very happy. The people behind him also felt very happy.
The scenery on the shore is pleasant. When Zhou Xu learned that his wife was coming, he asked people to prepare parasol covers, silk curtains, seating utensils, and fresh fruit refreshments.
Not long after the ice basin was delivered, the large pieces of ice exuded cool air and quickly dispersed in the open world. Only the cool air close to you could dissipate the heat. Zhou Xu had copied five aristocratic families, and it was not easy to use ice at this moment. Not distressed.
"Madam is here." Zhou Xu put away the fishing rod, and there were only two small fish flapping in the fishing basket. He carried the fishing basket and walked towards Madam. Naturally, he saw Mr. Xiao and others, and said with a smile: "The barriers are ready. , the weather is hot, Mr. Xiao, please sit down and rest for a while."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Gong smiled and led everyone to sit down.
Zhou Xu held his wife's hand and sat together at the top of the table. The surrounding screens blocked the river breeze. There was a layer of blankets on the ground. There were long tables in front of each seat with melons and fruits on them.
Xiao Qingxue was sitting on the futon and suddenly felt a line of sight.
She raised her head and found Amu, who was sitting under her father's right hand, looking at each other and then quickly looking away.
Zhou Shiliu looked at the taciturn Tuoba Mu with dissatisfaction. Once upon a time, the little follower following him suddenly turned into a young general galloping on the battlefield. Now he has become a senior official and has a bad temper. He doesn't even talk to him when he meets. Speak.
Zhou Shiliu snorted fiercely.
Xiao Qingxue watched Zhou Shiliu show his face to Amu inexplicably. Amu next to him seemed to be hiding in the shadows, and his fist immediately became hard!
Stinky Sixteen knows how to bully the honest Amu.
When it's over, she will make sure to reason with the bad guy.
Xiao Qingxue glared at Zhou Shiliu.
Zhou Shiliu was confused and stared back, "What are you doing?"
Xiao Qingxue angrily put her fist on the table as a threat.
Zhou Shiliu chuckled, he was not afraid, his cousin was not his uncle, and with her small body, a few punches would probably be like scratching an itch.
Tuoba Amu held the teacup in her hand and secretly watched the interaction between Miss Xiao and Zhou Liulang. There was no trace of him in her eyes at the moment. Zhou Liulang affected her vivid emotions, and there was an obvious silence between the two. , but there is a sense of familiarity.
Tuoba Amu couldn't explain how he felt at this moment. Even though he knew that Mrs. Xiao and Zhou Shiliu were impossible, it still didn't stop the jealousy overflowing in his heart.
It would be nice if she took one more look at me.
Xiao Luolan looked at her daughter who was making a lot of small moves below, then at Amu, who was as dark as a little mushroom, and then at the triumphant Zhou Shiliu. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to laugh.
"Your Majesty, I don't know why Mr. Guo and the others are asking for forgiveness outside." Xiao Gong asked.
Wang Zhi stood up at the end of the case and replied: "Xiao Gong did not know that Guo Bi made arrogant remarks at the gate of the night building and collaborated with the enemy without fighting. This is a capital crime of beheading, but the prince thinks that they are all famous people of the Guangling family, so he A little mercy, no harm to their lives."
"Let Guo Bi and others put in the bid and sell their heads to wait for Wei Gong or the season to redeem them."
"Now the Guo family's messenger has set off, and we will wait for the other party's reply."
Duke Xiao's face remained as usual, he nodded and said: "I see, collaborating with the enemy is a serious crime. It is not a pity for Guo Bi and others to die. It is the utmost kindness of the prince to spare their lives."
Xiao Luolan used the cover of drinking tea, her eyes widened in shock, and suddenly thought of what if Wei Guogong refused to redeem the person?
Just then, there was a noise outside.
Jin Ben entered the tent and whispered a few words in his lord's ear.
Across the screen, Xiao Luolan couldn't see very clearly. She only felt that there seemed to be a crowd of people kneeling outside, crying and howling incessantly. The voices of men, women, old and young were mixed together. One of the young people cried and worshiped: "Guo's family. Guo Kui brought his whole family to see the general, and asked the general to be merciful and spare my father's life. The Guo family is willing to dedicate all their belongings to the general, and ask the general to grant his permission!"
"Prince Zhang kneels down and worships the prince, begging the prince to return her husband Zhang Kunlun. I am willing to donate the family property and beg the prince to be merciful."
"Li Xia, the Li family, brought the whole family to seek an audience with the prince..."
The crying outside became more and more pitiful, and the shrill cries of children and women could be heard one after another, and there was silence in the tent.
Xiao Luolan pressed down the thin pleats on her skirt.
Zhou Xu asked the waiter to move the screen, lift up the curtains, and look at the large number of people with their wives and children making trouble.
Strangely enough, those people outside were still crying when they didn't see him, but when they saw him, they became quiet.
Xiao Luolan couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at those people. Before she could tell which family was which, she saw Sect Leader Zhou getting up and walking outside.
There was only a few moments of silence outside before the crying started again, and the sound was even louder.
"Are you crying in mourning?" Zhou Xu asked, holding a knife.
No one at the scene dared to answer, but Guo Kuida knelt down and said, "Please, Your Majesty, spare my father's life."
Zhou Xu sighed, his face was gentler than Xiao Luolan expected, and he helped the person up politely.
"It's not me who doesn't want to save me, but it's Duke Guo's sin of collaborating with the enemy, which is unforgivable." Zhou Xu said, "Let's do this. Seeing that Duke Guo is a famous scholar, I will give you a clear path. If you do as I say, maybe you will be saved." It can save your father’s life.”
Guo Kui wanted to kill this person in his heart, but he couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude on his face: "General, please speak."
"My good nephew can send someone to Xuanzhou again. Remember, this time he has to wear linen and wear mourning clothes. The mourning clothes must be made of the coarsest raw linen cloth. Only in this way can he show the urgency of the situation and urge Shi Fu Nan to redeem his people, or write Write a letter to the Duke of Wei, saying that Duke Guo's life only depends on the Duke of Wei, and you can also ask the Duke of Wei to pay for his ransom."
"Everyone can do this, not just the Guo family, you all can do it." Zhou Xu said magnanimously.
Guo Kui was so angry that he vomited blood and tried his best to hold back his anger and said: "Wei Gong and General Shi are dealing with all kinds of things day by day. They may not have time to redeem my father. I, the Guo family, want to redeem him right now and spend millions of money. I hope the general will be merciful."
Zhou Xu smiled: "Where did your Guo family get the millions of wealth? All the wealth of all the aristocratic families present here has been confiscated."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was filled with uproar, and everyone stood up and cursed angrily.
Zhou Xu looked at them coldly.
Not only that, he was prepared to not let go of any of the three hundred aristocratic families in Guangling.
I wanted to use his money to redeem someone, but I asked him if he had the knife in his hand!
Chapter 220
A large group of people were noisy and noisy outside the tent. Several hundred well-dressed nobles were cursing Zhou Xu in front of them. Behind Dayanji there was a group of people hiding and watching the fun. After all, the soldiers stationed here did not enclose the area and drive people away. Seeing the excitement, people nearby came in twos and threes. In fact, as early as when more than fifty generations of family members were detained in Dayanji, spies from various families who had been secretly observing the development of the situation had quickly integrated into the crowd and passed news to each other.
While people were panicking, Xu Huaicai followed the prince's instructions and posted a notice directly to let the Guangling family know clearly that a group of people led by Guo Bi had committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy. Unless the law was strict, the people would be angry and would be imprisoned soon. .
As soon as the notice came out, even the people at the bottom knew that things had changed in Guangling.
Guo Kui wanted to use his family wealth to redeem his father but failed. Instead, he was told by Zhou Manzi that he was arrogant and unreasonable about confiscation of his home. His vision went dark and his hands were trembling. He was afraid and angry: "You are too greedy. General, be careful not to get anything!"
Zhou Xu looked at the group of people who were being fucked by Waiqiangzhong. He had told these people how to survive. If these people didn't go to Wei Yanshan and still lingered here, did they think he was angry?
"You are a greedy, tyrannical and shameless person. You wantonly framed Duke Guo, Zhang Gong and others. Do you think that the world cannot see your sinister intentions?"
From the bottom of his heart, Guo Kui looked down on these northern soldiers and barbarians. They were just warriors who became ugly once they gained power!
Zhou Xu held the Youzhou sword, and the sharp blade reflected into Guo Kui's eyes.
Guo Kui said without fear: "All justice lies in the heart of the people. If a general insists on his own way, he will become the enemy of the world."
Zhou Xu raised his knife.
Guo Kuiqian saw the dazzling snow, and the sword slashed down with great force, and there was a faint whistling wind of the knife. He was about to chop off his head with the knife. At the critical moment of life and death, Guo Kui's face turned pale and he couldn't help but retreat. One step, eyelids trembling.
But found no pain.
Guo Kui opened his eyes and looked to the left.
The slightly old Youzhou knife, the sharp blade touched the side of his neck lightly, and the chill was overwhelming. The gauze outside the robe was light and nothing, the wide sleeves were floating, but the gauze material at the shoulders had been cut invisibly, Guo Kui was in a state of mind. Shocked, I felt horrified afterwards, and my face was as pale as paper.
The noisy people suddenly became quiet.
Just when everyone thought Zhou Manzi was going to go on a killing spree.
Zhou Xu placed the knife on Guo Kui's shoulder, then rotated the blade a few times, and wiped it slowly on Jin Gui's gauze. The blade became shinier and shinier as he wiped it, as if he was using a celebrity as a knife cleaning cloth. .
After Zhou Xu casually put away the knife, he looked at these people and smiled slightly, with a voice just loud enough for them to hear: "Who do you think you are? You are just a bunch of well-dressed dogs and pigs, and you don't even take a piss to show off your human-like beasts." In this way, now that I am in a situation where I have killed you, you still dare to make such a fuss."
"Come here, put these troublemakers in jail and confiscate all their property. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!" Zhou Xu's smile faded and he said coldly, a bunch of shameless dogs, they really think of themselves as A green onion.
"The last general takes orders." Xu Huaicai cupped his hands and said.
Several people fled in a hurry, but were shot through the heart by an arrow from the crossbowman, causing blood to splash on the spot.
Guo Kui's face turned from pale to the color of pig liver. He was so angry that he rolled his eyes and fainted. Xu Huaichu successfully pushed him down.
Dayanji was much cleaner, and even the crowd watching secretly were frightened and dispersed.
Only the river breeze blows slowly.
