"If you don't want to die, just kowtow to me, grandma, and come with me again." At some point, Xiang Lian'er stood more than twenty steps away from the two figures, her sword unsheathed, playing with the sword in her hand.
The two of them were covered with masks, only their eyes were exposed, they winked at each other, turned around and ran away. After only a few steps, they saw someone blocking the way. Yi Xiaodao held Siqing with both hands and smiled kindly: "Didn't you hear what that aunt said?"
"Fight!" The two agreed and drew out their sharp blades at the same time, but one of them rushed towards Yi Xiaodao and the other towards Xiang Lian'er.
Yi Xiaodao couldn't help but find it funny: "You guys...hahahaha, you don't have any tacit understanding at all, I'm laughing so hard."
The two of them also felt very angry and secretly hated their companions for their stupidity. One person felt that Xiang Lian'er was a member of the female stream, and if she could be captured first and used as a hostage, she might have a chance of survival. Another person thought that if the two of them attacked Yi Xiaodao at the same time, they might be able to find a way out. No one expected that the two of them would act separately, not even themselves.
"Xianlian'er, you know!" Yi Xiaodao smiled, dodged the sharp blade stabbing him, and started fighting with the intruder.
"Don't worry! I understand!" Xiang Lian'er didn't retreat but moved forward. She stepped forward to meet the attacker, and with a flying kick, she kicked away the sharp blade in the attacker's hand. Before the man understood what was going on, Shanlian'er's sword was already on his neck.
"Spare... spare my life... ah" Xiang Lian'er pulled the sword and brought up a string of blood beads. The man fell to the ground and died.
Yi Xiaodao dodged several stabs from others and punched the opponent's lower abdomen. The opponent's eyes went black in pain and he fainted immediately.
"Xiang Lian'er, bring him here." Yi Xiaodao put "Siqing" aside, squatted down, and started groping for the person.
Xiang Lian'er walked up to Yi Xiaodao with her slender legs: "What do you want the body for?"
"Corpse? Did you kill him?" Yi Xiaodao was stunned.
"Isn't it you who screamed? What else do you know, doesn't it mean silence?" Xiang Lian'er said, blinking her big eyes.
Yi Xiaodao looked at Xiang Lian'er and didn't know what to say. His original intention was to let Xiang Lian'er capture the other party alive, but unexpectedly, Xiang Lian'er was sent directly back to her hometown.
"I was laughing at you just now... I'm sorry, I was wrong..." Yi Xiaodao looked at the only remaining unconscious person and said to himself.
"Ah? I...where is this..." The comatose person woke up, Yi Xiaodao hit him with an elbow, and passed out again.
…
In the military camp, Yi Xiaodao was sitting in front of the commander's tent. Li Dingxing and others were sitting in two rows. Everyone was staring at a man kneeling in the middle of the commander's tent. This man was dressed in black, and the mask on his head had been taken off. He looked ordinary, nothing unusual.
"Who are you? Why are you spying on our military camp in the middle of the night?" Yi Xiaodao asked.
"I'm just a passing merchant. I need to urinate with my brother in the middle of the night. Why do you arrest me?" The man acted rogue.
Yi Xiaodao waved his hand: "Here, hit me!"
Two Yulin soldiers came in from outside the tent. Without saying a word, they pushed the man to the ground, picked up the waist knife and raised it.
"I said, I said, don't fight!" Before the Yulin army could fight, the man begged for mercy. He also wanted to understand. Could the person who caught him so easily be an ordinary person? Rather than being beaten, it is better to explain as soon as possible.
Yi Xiaodao did not order Yu Linjun to retreat. The scabbard in Yu Linjun's hand was still raised high. The meaning was obvious. If the answer was not satisfactory, he would still be punished.
The visitor did not dare to neglect, and said quickly: "On the order of Mr. Yang Sixiao, I came to the beach to meet...the Eastern Japanese army..."
"What!" The person said this, and the whole audience was in an uproar.
The majestic Donglu Congyiguan actually joined the Eastern Japanese people one after another? It would be terrible if this incident were to spread. The Eastern Japanese people burned, killed and looted, not to mention Donglu and Nanhuai. If Yang Sixiao colludes with the Donglu people, it will be a crime of treason, and the crime will implicate the nine tribes! There is only one crime in the Daqi Law that can implicate the nine clans, and that is treason.
"Are you telling the truth? Do you have any evidence?" Yi Xiaodao asked with narrowed eyes.
"Yes, I have evidence!" The man groped from his arms and said, "Mr. Yang personally handed the villain a jade pendant. He said that as soon as the Eastern Japanese saw this jade pendant, they would follow the villain and lead their troops to fight back to Jicheng. After tripping General Dongfang Zhong, the villain will be the first to succeed! Hey, where is my jade pendant?"
Yi Xiaodao stretched out his right hand, with a jade pendant hanging on it: "Is this what you are talking about?"
"Exactly this!" The man wanted to step forward to take it back, but was forced back to his original position by the Yulin Army, so he had no choice but to give up.
"Master Yi, this matter is very fishy. Please take a closer look." Wei Youming immediately expressed his position. Yang Sixiao advocated surrendering to the imperial court. If this was true, the matter of Donglu would be settled in one fell swoop. If Yang Sixiao colludes with the Eastern Japanese again at this time, it will not only be as simple as Yang Sixiao implicating the nine tribes. How can the people of Nanhuai and Donglu be willing to give up? By then, Daqi will be in danger.
Yi Xiaodao looked at the jade pendant in his hand and frowned. He also understood that things were unusual.
"Sir, everything I say is true..." The man looked at Yi Xiaodao, worried about his fate.
"Drag him out and kill him!" Yi Xiaodao slapped the jade pendant on Shuai's case, pointed at the man and shouted sternly.
Without saying a word, the Yulin Army grabbed the man's arms from left to right and dragged him outside. The man was so frightened that he screamed: "Sir, everything you said is the truth, it's all the truth!"
As the shouts of the man outside the tent suddenly stopped, everyone understood that he had really been chopped down.
"Is this inappropriate? If what this person said is true..." Li Dingxing frowned and hesitated.
Yi Xiaodao looked around and said: "If what this person said is true, Yang Sixiao is guilty of treason. He is a comrade, so he can be killed. If what this person said is false and he slandered the ministers of the imperial court, it would be a shame to die."
"But this person still needs to confront Yang Sixiao face to face." Fan Jun has been a bandit for a long time, and he has the skills to control his subordinates. He knows well that he cannot listen to one-sided words.
"Even if this person is brought to Jicheng, he will still accuse Yang Sixiao of colluding with the Japanese. At that time, no matter whether it is true or not, Yang Sixiao will not admit it, and he may even send someone to silence him. And we will do our best. Protect him. In this way, the fake becomes real. Now that we have killed him, we still have our own judgment. We will know if it is true or false when the time comes." Yi Xiaodao explained.
Xiang Lian'er nodded: "Also, you are also afraid that this person will blow our pillows, right?"
Everyone laughed when they heard this. Xiang Lian'er was a little confused and looked at Li Dingxing: "Did I say something wrong?"
Li Dingxing hid his face, unable to see the crowd, and whispered: "Stop talking..."
Yi Xiaodao stood up and said, "Let's all go back and have a rest early. We all have things to do tomorrow. Mr. Zhongyi, please go back and explain to Xiang Lian'er what pillow style is, hahahaha."
Li Dingxing's face turned red, he picked up Xiang Lian'er and left, and everyone followed them out of the handsome tent with laughter. Only one person stood at the bottom and did not leave.
Yi Xiaodao waved and said, "I know you won't leave. Come sit in front and tell me, what do you think?"
The person sitting at the bottom was Wang Xuan. He walked to Li Dingxing's seat in the front row and sat down. He bowed his hand to Yi Xiaodao and said, "Master Yi, I conclude that this matter is false!"
"What's the reason?" Yi Xiaodao asked noncommittally.
"Since Yang Sixiao intends to submit to the imperial court, why should he collude with the Dong Japanese people? It is impossible for the dignified Donglu officials not to know about this treason. Moreover, it has been almost two months since you entered Donglu, and Yang Sixiao, who is bent on submitting to the imperial court, does not come to look for you. , but sent people to collude with the Japanese, isn't this suspicious?" Wang Xuan expressed his thoughts.
Yi Xiaodao said: "It's suspicious, but it's not impossible."
"Even if Yang Sixiao intends to collude with the Japanese, what can he promise to the Japanese? Gold and silver treasures or high officials? With no motive and no strength, the common people think this is impossible! But Dongfang Bell sent people to look for it. The possibility of the surviving family of King Donglu is much higher," Wang Xuan said.
Yi Xiaodao nodded: "The collusion with the Eastern Japanese must be true. Otherwise, how did this person know that the Eastern Japanese were driven away by us for a few days? The most urgent task now is to know who is here Colluding with the Eastern Japanese, it seems that the incident in Jicheng is imminent."
"Exactly, sir, you should move to Jicheng as soon as possible to find out the truth of the matter!"
Yi Xiaodao sighed and said, "Although the Dong Japanese people have not escaped, we still need to leave people to defend this place. How do you think we can make a safe arrangement?"
"It is most safe to send the Huizheng camp and the Nanhuai army to stay. Your Excellency, lead the Yulin army and Shangwu camp to rush to Jicheng. The Nanhuai army is good at water warfare, and the Huizheng camp is full of heroes with high martial arts skills. The two armies left There is a good chance of winning this battle against the Eastern Japanese. The Yulin Army is His Majesty's own army, and it can be transferred to Jicheng to control the situation. When going to Wuying, it still needs to stay with the Lord and practice." Wang Xuan analyzed clearly.
"That's what I think. It's settled then. I will take the Yulin Army and Shangwuying to Jicheng tomorrow. You should rest early and set off with me tomorrow." Yi Xiaodao ordered.
Wang Xuan was stunned for a moment: "The common people have to write letters for the Nanhuai Army, and the Eastern Japanese are also a serious problem. The common people are familiar with the terrain..."
Yi Xiaodao waved his hand: "With Duke Zhongyi sitting here, I have nothing to worry about. As for the letter, don't worry about it, just go ahead and go."
Wang Xuan stopped refuting, said yes, stood up and left the commander's tent.
Yi Xiaodao stood up, looked at his Siqing Sword, and sighed quietly: "Master..."
