"This is Xu Guannan! She is my fiancée, and this is my brother, Zhao Xuanyi, the current protector of the country! The master of the Qilin Guard!" Wang Heming introduced the two people!
Zhao Xuanyi stood up quickly and bowed very respectfully, "Hello, sister-in-law!"
Xu Guannan hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Hello, Lord Protector!"
Wang Heming then began to talk, "Brother, to be honest, I came to Luohua City this time just to pick up Xu Guannan. Her father is the Henan Tongpan and manages the disaster relief funds and food distributed by the government! You sent it last time All those who have arrived at the magistrate’s office have been distributed!”
"This time you confiscated Ye Yuanzhi's hometown, and the treasury was relieved. The emperor ordered that another ten million taels be allocated to Henan for disaster relief, purchasing grain, building dams and bridges, repairing houses for the people, etc., so that the people can Live and work in peace and contentment!”
"And this matter was handed over to Xu Guannan's father, Henan Tongpanxu Xu Zhongyi, but the silver was promised to be 10 million taels. However, in the hands of the Tongpan, it was less than 2 million taels, which is too different from before and after. Too much, Xu Zhongyi is an upright person, so he directly submitted a letter of impeachment!"
"But who would have thought that this book had been intercepted and burned, and a killer was arranged to assassinate Xu Zhongyi. It's a pity that Uncle Xu Zhongyi lived an honest life, and ended up with a tragic death!" At this point, Wang Heming wiped his tears, and Xu Guannan stood aside. Cry quietly too!
"But before he died, Uncle Xu wrote a list of these corrupt people, as well as a letter to the emperor. It is now here with Xu Guannan. When I came to pick up Xu Guannan, I was chased by officers and soldiers. If it weren't for my subordinates, My brother and the Qilin Guards sacrificed their lives, so I guess I’ll be traveling westward on a crane now!”
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he slapped his thigh angrily, "I knew it was not that simple. These corrupt officials dared to commit such blatant corruption. They spent 10 million taels and ended up with less than 2 million taels. They have really good appetites." Ah!" Zhao Xuanyi said with wide eyes.
Wang Heming sighed, "The current plan is to escape from Luohua City and hand this letter to the emperor. To be honest, we haven't had a bite of anything for three days and we drink water every day!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly looked at Shen Wei, "Quickly, take out all the remaining sesame cakes!"
"Yes!" Shen Wei hurriedly opened the medicine box. When everyone heard that there was something to eat, they hurriedly gathered around. Shen Wei opened the medicine box, took out some of the herbs on it, and then opened the mezzanine. Sifang Shaobing, there were more than a dozen people in the cave at first, but there weren’t many of these Shaobings, and each person could barely share one!
Something is better than nothing. Everyone took the sesame seed cakes and ate them in big gulps. Although they were still not satisfied, it was much better than drinking water. After eating one sesame seed cake, everyone drank gulps of water, barely keeping their stomachs full!
This can't go on like this! Zhao Xuanyi has already divided the only food, but everyone will have a meal after that, and they will continue to be hungry tomorrow! Zhao Xuanyi thought for a while, "We have to find a way to get out as soon as possible!"
"But now the city is full of officers and soldiers looking for us, and there are thousands of officers and soldiers outside the city. With so many of us, it may not be easy to leave!" Wang Heming said.
Zhao Xuanyi sneered, "This is nothing!" Zhao Xuanyi turned to look at Shen Wei, "Brother Shen, I leave this matter to you!"
"Don't worry, young master, I'll set off right away!" After Shen Wei finished speaking, he glanced at Sun Yan, "Protect your young master, I'll pick you up and leave tomorrow!"
"Yes!" Sun Yan nodded and said.
Shen Wei turned around and left, Zhao Xuanyi smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I have arranged everything!"
"Thank you!" Wang Heming said with a smile.
"Why are you so polite? Where should I sleep at night? I'm already sleepy!"
Wang Heming said nothing and pointed to the hay on the ground. Zhao Xuanyi saw it and smiled bitterly, "It's better to go to bed!"
After Shen Wei walked out of the house, he jumped out of the fence and walked on the alley. After leaving the alley, he looked at the stars in the sky. After finding the right direction, he walked all the way east. At midnight and early morning, everyone was sleeping soundly. Luohua City There was no one on the streets, it was very quiet!
Shen Wei could only hear his own footsteps and breathing. He walked eastward for about half an hour, bypassing many houses and mansions, and came to the bottom of the city wall. Shen Wei raised his head and looked at the height of the wall.
He stretched out his hand and took out a flying grab chain lock from his waist, turned it around a few times in his hand, and threw it up with force. When the steel claw clasped the top of the wall, Shen Wei pulled the rope. There was no problem, and then he started to climb quickly. climb!
Shen Wei's arm strength is very strong, and he is like a gecko, constantly wandering around the wall. After climbing up the city wall, he changes the direction of the flying grasping chain lock, throws the rope outside the wall, slides down the rope, and lands with his feet. , with a shake of his arm, he grabbed the hundred-chain lock and took it off, placing it on his waist.
Looking around, there were no officers and soldiers patrolling here. Shen Wei sneered, then walked north, and the huge figure gradually disappeared into the night!
When Zhao Xuanyi woke up again, he was surrounded by people, and everyone was still sleeping soundly. Zhao Xuanyi slowly sat up and looked around. He was in the cellar, so he couldn't see whether it was day or night outside!
Turning his head, he saw Wang Heming and Xu Guannan sitting not far away, seemingly talking in a low voice. Zhao Xuanyi stood up slowly and came to Wang Heming, "What are you talking about?"
"Brother, wake up!" Wang Heming smiled. "We didn't talk about anything. We were just thinking about what to do after sending this letter to the emperor?"
"What are you doing? Now that Miss Xu's family has broken up, and she is still your fiancée, why don't you just marry her and go home?" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.
After Xu Guannan and Wang Heming heard this, their expressions became not very good. Zhao Xuanyi looked a little strange and thought, what does this mean? Is it possible that these two people have something to hide?
"Sometimes I really envy you, brother, for being so free and easy, but it seems that it's not that simple between us!" Wang Heming said with a wry smile.
"What does this mean?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"Brother, you don't know something! Although we have been engaged for a long time, but in this situation, I agree, just because I am afraid that my mother at home...?" Wang Heming stopped talking mid-sentence!
Zhao Xuanyi instantly understood that Wang Heming was also a son of an official, and his family was rich and powerful. However, Xu Guannan's family was ruined and he had no strength at all. Even though Wang Heming liked this girl, the two families were not in the same family now. In this kind of situation, In the feudal era, this marriage was probably going to be ruined!
Although Zhao Xuanyi wanted to say a few words of comfort, he seemed to have nothing to say about the matter. Helplessly, he could only sigh, "I can only wish you good luck!" After saying that, he turned and walked aside!
Zhao Xuanyi couldn't help but regret that in this era, how many people can control their marriage? The answer is no. Wasn't even my marriage forced? Although I have the intention to marry Du Xinyu and Zi Yuan, due to my status, I have been unable to do so!
Zhao Xuanyi felt a little depressed. He walked out of the cellar and came to the ground. It was already bright outside. Zhao Xuanyi was walking on the snow, breathing the cold air, and felt very confused!
Now Wang Heming and Sun Yan have been found, but Zhao Xuanyi still doesn't know, who is the person behind this incident? Dare to embezzle tens of millions? Who dares to do this?
The imperial court has obviously discovered the money for disaster relief and charity money for repairs, but the following group of officials actually committed corruption. It is really excessive. The people on the street outside are starving to death all the time, but they actually hold all the money in their hands. Don't let it go!
Zhao Xuanyi swore fiercely in his heart that he must tell Zhu Yuejun and the emperor about this matter, and not a single one of these corrupt people would be spared! Kill everyone who can be killed, and Wang Li is the first!
When the sun reached noon, outside Luohua City, only a deafening sound was heard in the distance. All the officers and soldiers stood up to watch. They saw a black mass of cavalry in the distance rushing towards here. Wang Li, the leader, also heard the huge horseshoes. Sound, hurry out of the military tent!
When he saw thousands of cavalry charging towards him, he was dumbfounded. Whose army was this? Why haven't you heard of it beforehand? Are you here to switch defenses? its not right! Even if the higher-ups say something, it's impossible for all the cavalry to come, right?
When the cavalry arrived outside Luohua City, all the horses stopped, and the leader, Tang Tianli, came out, "Who is in charge!"
"Me!" Wang Li walked out and came to Tang Tianli, with a look of dissatisfaction and anger on his face. "Who are you? What do you want to do by leading the army here?"
Tang Tianli just glanced at Wang Li lightly, "I am Tang Tianli from the Qianhu of Qilin Camp! After receiving the order from the Protector of the Country, I went to the city to pick him up and return to the capital to resume my life! Do you have any objections?"
"Who? The Protector of the Country?" Wang Li asked in surprise.
"That's right, the current Protector of the Country, Lord Zhao Xuanyi! He is in Luohua City behind you now!" Tang Tianli said.
Wang Li laughed when he heard this, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I guard this city gate every day. If the Protector of the Kingdom enters, how could I not know? There must be a misunderstanding! And now the plague is rampant in the city, for everyone For the safety of Qilin Guard, I advise you not to go in!"
Tang Tianli lowered his head and stared at Wang Li, "Do you think I'm discussing with you? It's easy to open the city gate quickly and let us in. If you dare to say no, then we will have a discussion!"
"Ouch! Okay!" When Wang Li heard Tang Tianli's threat, he didn't take it seriously at all. "They all said that he and Qilin Guard are arrogant and domineering. Today I have seen it. You are Qianhu and I am Qianhu. We are at the same level. Are you so rude in your words? Today I want to see how powerful your Qilin Guards are?"
When Tang Tianli saw Wang Li being so domineering, he was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled, "I advise you not to challenge the Qilin Guards. We have fought against the Tatars, the Walas, the Japanese pirates, the Jurchens, and the Goliaths! Really?" You’ve never hit one of your own, I don’t think you want to cause trouble!”
"Hehe! What? Are you scared? You actually used these things like sesame seeds and rotten millet to scare me? Do you think I will be scared? I will tell you today, let alone you coming, even if your home protector comes, you will Don't even think about going in, I said so!" Wang Li shouted arrogantly.
Following his order, thousands of officers and soldiers behind him each held weapons, formed a formation, and faced off against the Qilin Guards. They seemed not to be afraid at all!
Tang Tianli scratched his beard and smiled slightly, "Sure, I respect you as a man. Since we have nothing to say, let's do it. But our Qilin Guards have a rule. Let's set off firecrackers before the big tent! Come on, let's set off firecrackers!"
"Yes!" Ten Qilin guards took out the grenades from their waists, pulled the fuse, and threw them directly into the opposite team!
A group of soldiers saw several wrist-thick firecrackers being thrown towards them. None of them knew what they meant. Wang Li almost fell down laughing, "I said you...?"
Before Wang Li could finish his words, ten grenades exploded instantly. The huge sound frightened thousands of soldiers facing them into confusion. The earth-shaking sound and vibration caught Wang Li and his men off guard!
When Wang Li got up from the snow, he looked back and saw nearly two hundred people lying down. There were countless wounds on their bodies. Blood flowed out instantly from the wounds, and they all lay on the ground making sounds of pain. , and some people died directly!
This shocking feeling was really unacceptable to Wang Li. He had never seen such a weapon. How could this thing explode? And is it so powerful? So many lives were taken away in an instant!
"Hey! What about you! How about I give you two? Put them in your crotch and see if you can bear it?" Tang Tianli shouted loudly.
"Hahaha...!" Hundreds of Qilin Guards laughed loudly!
Wang Li turned livid with anger and pointed at Tang Tianli, "Don't be arrogant. Do you know who I am? My uncle is...?"
Tang Tianli threw a grenade directly at Wang Li's feet. Wang Li was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. He was afraid of the explosion. After running a few steps, he fell directly to the ground and covered his head with his clothes!
"Why are you running? I haven't opened the fuse yet!" Tang Tianli shouted.
"Hahaha...!" Everyone laughed again!
Wang Li was already irritated. He stood up and was about to speak when Tang Tianli dismounted and came to Wang Li, his eyes radiating cold murderous aura, "Are you going to open this door or not?"
Wang Li saw Tang Tianli's murderous gaze and swallowed, "Don't open it!"
