midnight.
The wild paths are all dark with clouds, but the river boats are only bright with fire.
In this ink-like vastness, only sounds can be heard, but things cannot be seen.
In the darkness, an almost inaudible voice suddenly said: "Miss, according to the accounts of the two captured people, their identities are not reckless, but 'chivalrous' warriors. In addition, they also have some accomplices who will be arrested later." to."
"You mean, they are heroes?"
"Yes, that is indeed what they call themselves."
"Well……"
The voices listening to this conversation were Tong Yanhuo and Qi Xiaotong.
At this time, they were ambushing near the villa area, planning to snipe the incoming enemy.
Qi Yu guessed correctly. After he left, a group of people with evil intentions followed.
Fortunately, Tong Yanhuo had been warned in advance, and he was alert and noticed this sign in time. After that, he reminded his apprentice Xiaotong to protect her mother.
If not for this, the two people during the day would probably have succeeded.
It can be said that the development of the situation to this point was both expected and unexpected.
The primary issue now is to first figure out the origin and details of the enemy.
What I never expected was that these intruders turned out to be legendary chivalrous men.
Xia, what is this thing?
This concept is so vague!
Suddenly!
Xiaotong suddenly remembered that when she was studying in the capital, Luo Yuan's old Jijiu once taught him knowledge about knights. He once said that Xia is a special group of people that has existed since ancient times, and later formed a so-called culture.
He gave examples such as Cao Mo, Zhuan Zhu, Nie Zheng, Jing Ke and others recorded in "Historical Records: Biographies of Assassins". Their identities were knights.
The ancient chivalrous people were raised as retainers in private families, and they were in the same class as the scholars. Their social status was also quite prominent. They were often praised by the world because they advocated loyalty and were even willing to die for those who knew their friends. By the time of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the culture of chivalrous people had further developed. It is said that even scholars who were good at writing and writing began to yearn to travel to the ends of the world with a sword. The famous Li Bai even wrote a poem praising: Even if the bones of chivalrous people are fragrant, they will not be ashamed of being the best in the world.
It can be seen that the culture of Xia has a long history and has never been interrupted from ancient times to the present.
Slowly, this culture began to take root among the people, and then was passed down to the world. The reason is mainly because the connotation of chivalry resonates with disadvantaged people.
A chivalrous person relies on his own force to kill the rich, help the poor, or uphold justice for the weak.
People, they never care about the constraints of the law, and even dare to show off their muscles with the powerful officials. This is what the disadvantaged groups appreciate.
However, in the eyes of the government, the heroes are a group of wanton and lawless people. They kill people and set fires at every turn. What is the difference between this behavior and bandits? If the problem can be solved with fists alone, then why do we need the law?
So the question is, is Xia good or bad?
Gee, it’s really hard to tell.
For another example, take the group of people in Liangshanbo. Some people call them heroes, while others call them thieves and bandits. As for whether they are right or wrong, it depends on the perspective from which you look at them.
However, most knights have one characteristic in common, that is, they often work under the command of a certain force as their servant.
What does that mean?
In layman's terms, behind these people there are so-called employers. As for rangers like Duckweed, they are very rare in reality.
Luo Yuan also emphasized that anyone who can attract followers usually has great prestige. Otherwise, he would not be able to control these arrogant knights.
Does such a big shot still exist in Qiongzhou today?
It feels so bad.
Xiaotong knew almost everything about the distribution of power in Qiongzhou. In short, the businessman is not as good as the Hai family, the scholar is not as good as Sun Bao, the official is not as good as his own family, I have never heard of anyone with great prestige!
Well, this is really confusing.
Back to reality first, for now, only after trying to deal with the intrusion of these knights can we consider how to catch big fish.
"Tonight, we will start to close the net. It is best to catch them all to avoid future troubles." Xiaotong thought for a while and said.
Tong Yanhuo chuckled and said: "Miss, please rest assured, I will do my best to resolve this disaster. However, I really don't want to hurt their lives..."
In his mind, these knights were considered to be of the same kind as him, so he had this kind of compassion.
However, if you don't kill him, you can only try to capture him alive, which is not easy!
However, Tong Yanhuo is willing to give it a try.
Judging from the layout in hand, it is not impossible to capture him alive.
Because, this time the two of them calculated a relatively safe plan to capture the enemy. In addition, Xiaotong also used his own secret force - the Boy Scouts.
What does it mean?
Everyone
Do you still remember that this little girl took in a group of orphans before? On weekdays, she arranged for these children to study and read in the academy. After class, she let them practice martial arts with Tong Yanhuo and cultivated their civil and military skills. Concurrently.
However, these children's cultivation is still shallow, their kung fu is not really high, and they are not yet able to stand alone. Even so, they possess extraordinary vigilance and agility.
For the children, Xiaotong is their savior in this life. Without her care, it would be impossible to have the good life now. Therefore, as soon as Xiaotong opened his mouth, they rushed to serve him.
Finally, the girl selected some children who were relatively strong and quick in movement as 'scouts' to deliver the message.
Their task is not complicated. They only need to hide in a high place and monitor the movement. Once they find any abnormality, they will immediately send a message to Tong Yanhuo who is hiding in the dark.
As for the musketeers distributed in every corner, they had to be ordered not to fire unless they opened fire. Otherwise, how could there be any talk of capturing them alive?
Of course, if we encounter any unexpected situation, we do not rule out the possibility of decisive killing.
The net has been spread, the next step is how to lure the enemy.
In order to attract the 'enemy' more effectively, Xiaotong chose to make a bait herself and appeared at the most appropriate time and place.
As expected, a silent fierce battle took place that night.
However, after dawn, all traces were quietly erased.
However, some passers-by noticed that when the morning star had just risen, Zhang Li, the prison manager, escorted more than 20 people who looked like "prisoners" back to the government office.
After preliminary interrogation, it was revealed that these knights were ordered by a person named "Canmu Jushi", and just as Xiaotong guessed, they were all the secret servants of this person.
Resident Canmu... who is this?
No one knows!
But it doesn't matter, this person's residence is not too far away, only about fifty miles away. In that case, why not catch him?
Yes, how can we capture the thief without capturing the king?
good!
Catching thieves was the responsibility of the execution room, so Zhang Li consciously led a group of government officials and ran there without waiting for anyone to give instructions.
Accompanying them was the curious Qi Xiaotong.
She really wanted to know what kind of big shot this big fish behind the scenes was.
