"You...Hiccup...are you here to drink the wedding wine too?"
Lao Zhangtou was drunk and dazed, holding a wine jar with his only arm. When he saw the boss and others approaching, he thought of inviting them to drink together.
The boss saw this and sneered: "I've been waiting for a long time just to drink this drink."
As he said that, the boss slashed with his sword and smashed the wine jar in Lao Zhang's arms to pieces, making a snapping sound.
The boss smiled ferociously and raised his knife again. The first knife struck the wine jar, and the second knife was supposed to hit the person.
The sound of the wine jar breaking shocked Old Zhangtou and also alarmed several old soldiers around him.
With his eyes fixed, Lao Zhangtou realized that the person coming was fierce.
Han Feng Shuo Shuo, the boss slashed at the front door again.
Without any time to think, Lao Zhangtou relied on instinct and grabbed the boss's wrist.
The boss' expression changed, and he felt a huge force coming from his wrist, preventing him from breaking free.
"If the enemy comes, form your formation to meet the enemy!"
Lao Zhang's messy hair was flying in the night wind, his face was red, his eyes were wide open, and his expression was ferocious, like a one-armed war god.
The bloodthirsty and terrifying aura was unleashed. The robbers were so shocked by him that they forgot their movements for a moment.
Following Lao Zhangtou's shout, the drunken soldiers seemed to have received a military order, sobering up instantly and standing up to confront everyone.
The robbers also reacted. The boss's face was as pale as pig liver, and he shouted sternly: "Kill, kill me!"
"kill!"
Both sides roared and rushed toward each other.
The robbers had weapons in their hands, but the old soldiers were bare-handed and drunk. It seemed that the outcome of the battle was doomed early on.
It's just that these veterans of many battles are really brave. Even if they are disabled, they fight for their lives and crush the bandits just by relying on their fighting instincts.
They were all retired from the battlefield. They were all elite veterans who had experienced thousands of armies and survived hundreds of battles. Some of them were from Brother Shen's personal bodyguards, so their skills were needless to say.
And dealing with bandits is not as gentle as fighting with Yangcun.
I saw Lao Zhang twisting his head with his backhand, causing the boss to suffer pain. The steel knife in his hand fell out of his hand. The blade was picked up by Lao Zhang's head before it hit the ground. At the same time, he exerted force on his hand. There was only a clicking sound, and one of the boss's arms was crippled.
He turned his body slightly to one side, took the steel knife, and put his backhand on the boss's shoulder.
"What...hic...people are you?"
The boss was so frightened by Lao Zhangtou that he screamed out until severe pain came from his arm.
Shen Qingyun was sleeping soundly here, but Zhong Qi knocked on the door again.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Shen Qingyun grunted irritably and buried his head in the pillow, trying to cover up the sound of knocking on the door, but Zhong Qi didn't give up. Shen Qingyun didn't respond, so he kept knocking.
"Come in, get out of here!" Shen Qingyun couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily.
Zhong Qi pushed the door open and was about to speak when Shen Qingyun asked, "Can't you just let me have a good sleep? Is it okay?"
Can't we talk about this big thing tomorrow? ah? ah? "
Unfortunately, Shen Qingyun really hasn't slept well in the past few days. He drank a little more wine today, and his head is already drowsy. He still wants to have a good sleep with the help of wine.
I was woken up again not long after I fell asleep, which can be regarded as the accumulation of wake-up energy to the extreme.
Zhong Qi opened his mouth, and finally he could only say: "Yes."
Seeing Zhong Qi was about to leave, Shen Qingyun shouted: "Come back!"
Zhong Qi paused, Shen Qingyun covered his face, screamed twice in pain, and then rubbed hard.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Shen Qingyun asked with an unkind expression.
Zhong Qi said: "Didn't the Crown Prince say that big things should be discussed tomorrow?"
"Oh my god..." Shen Qingyun held his forehead in pain, "Say it, say it now, immediately, immediately!"
"Oh." Zhong Qi said, "Old Zhangtou and the others have captured a group of assassins."
"An assassin again?" Shen Qingyun was stunned, "Are you here to find someone again? Whose concubine has come to us without having any eyesight?"
"They are really assassins." Zhong Qi shook his head, "There are more than 20 people, and they even bring knives."
"Did you bring a knife?" Shen Qingyun was shocked when he heard this, "Where are the people?"
"It's all in the front yard."
"Walk."
In the open space in the front yard, the remaining seven or eight bandits were driven into the middle. Lao Zhangtou and his men surrounded them with knives.
They couldn't understand why these crippled old guys in front of them were so powerful.
Moreover, weren't they drunk?
The boss looked up at a person and saw that the person was swaying, as if he was about to fall down at any moment.
But just as the boss locked his eyes on the man, the man glared fiercely, and the almost murderous look in his eyes was frightening.
Although the night wind was cold, it was not as frightening as the aura of these people.
The robbers didn't wait long before they saw a young prince come out. Before they could guess his identity, they saw everyone around them saying in unison: "See you, Crown Prince."
"Well." Shen Qingyun raised his hand, looked at everyone and asked, "What's the situation now? Who are these people?"
Lao Zhangtou let out a wine belch and said, "As for the prince, my subordinates don't know who these people are. Just now our brothers were drinking, but they saw these people charging at them with knives, but their skills were really poor. ..”
As he said this, Lao Zhang glanced at these people with disdain, "Such a waste is not even qualified to go to the battlefield."
The faces of all the robbers turned green when they heard this.
Even if you can't beat him, you will still be ridiculed.
Shen Qingyun glanced at the tall robber, and then weighed his thin arms and legs.
They are trash, so am I not as good as trash?
Of course, that's not the point.
"Ahem..." Shen Qingyun coughed twice, "No one was hurt, right?"
Lao Zhangtou responded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, a few brothers are injured, but they can't survive, so it's okay."
The combat power of the veterans is indeed fierce, but after all, they are in poor condition. Facing the knife-wielding robbers, if they are all unscathed, it would be too outrageous.
"Yes." Shen Qingyun nodded slightly, then looked at the boss, "Tell me, who are you and what are you here for?"
The boss hummed: "If you want to kill or cut into pieces, just do it. Eighteen years later, I will be another..."
"Old Seven, kill him." Shen Qingyun said lightly.
"yes."
Zhong Qi took the order, took two steps forward, came to the boss, and pinched his throat with a click.
Seeing the boss slumped on the ground lifeless, everyone was immediately frightened.
Shen Qingyun looked at the boss's body and smiled slightly: "I am twenty-one years old this year and will not be forty after eighteen years. Come on, I will wait for you to take revenge."
"hiss..."
Everyone gasped, feeling that the kind-faced Shen Qingyun was more cruel and terrifying than the drunken old man.
"You." Shen Qingyun pointed to one person, "Tell me, who are you, who is your leader, and what is the purpose of coming here?"
The person who was pointed at was trembling with fear, and a warmth flowed from his buttocks.
He was so scared that he peed.
Shen Qingyun frowned slightly and waved his hand in disgust.
Zhong Qi understood and was about to take action when he saw the man screaming: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I said, I said."
The man swallowed hard, then pointed at the corpse on the ground and said: "We are bandits from Heifeng Village, and he is our boss..."
"Uh..." Shen Qingyun hesitated, this killing was quite accurate.
"So, you are here to rob because you are interested in the wealth here, right?"
"No, it's not."
"Um?"
The man said in a trembling voice: "Someone gave us five hundred taels of silver and told us to come here to plunder and kill someone for him."
"Killing? Who to kill?" Shen Qingyun felt a little uneasy.
"We don't know the name either, just tell us to kill them all."
"Kill them all?" Shen Qingyun sneered, "Just you guys?"
The robbers felt a little aggrieved when they heard this.
Can't really blame them.
If these crippled old soldiers were replaced by ordinary people, killing would not be any more difficult than slaughtering cows and pigs. Not to mention a dozen people, even if there were several times more, facing knife-wielding bandits, they would only end up being slaughtered.
"Who is the person who gave you the money?"
"I don't know, we haven't seen him before. It was a ruffian from Liangzhou City who came to us."
"These are the only people you have here?"
"A few brothers drove a carriage and were waiting outside the village. They originally planned to rob the property and transport it away..."
Shen Qingyun looked at Zhong Qi, "Old Qi, go there yourself."
"yes."
"Any more?"
"No, no more..."
Shen Qingyun nodded slightly, "Old Zhang, take them down and take good care of them. Send someone to notify the Liangzhou government office early tomorrow morning."
"Okay, Your Majesty." Lao Zhang nodded, then slapped one of the robbers with a knife and shouted: "Everyone, get up and let's go!"
After Lao Zhangtou and others cleaned up the corpse and left, Shen Qingyun was the only one left in the front yard.
"These are ordinary people. Even if they have a feud with someone, they can't afford to offend someone who can afford five hundred taels. In fact, there are not many targets for those who buy murder." Shen Qingyun frowned and murmured to himself language.
"Either the old man, or...me?"
Shen Qingyun thought for a while, it seemed that he and Su Chengwang were the only two important people in the surrounding area.
"If the target is the old man, why do we have to do it during the wedding banquet? Wouldn't it be better to go directly to his small courtyard?" Shen Qingyun frowned, "Even if the target is me, there is no need to choose today..."
"But who wants to kill me?"
"Yang Cong? Zhou Bing?" Shen Qingyun could only think of these two people.
"That's not true, is it?"
Song Ying and Yang Cong are indeed in trouble with Shen Qingyun, but have they reached the point of killing Shen Qingyun?
As for Zhou Bing, even if he suspected that he was hiding Qiaoer, he wouldn't be so bold as to pay for his murder, right?
Who is he?
But apart from these two people, Shen Qingyun really couldn't think of anyone else who had this motive.
"Your Majesty."
A gentle voice sounded in Shen Qingyun's ears, awakening Shen Qingyun from deep thought.
"Miss Qiaoer, haven't you slept yet?"
Qiaoer smiled slightly and said, "I couldn't sleep. I heard some movement in the front yard and came over to take a look."
"What did the girl see?"
Qiao'er said: "Of course it was the crown prince's decisive killing."
Shen Qingyun smiled when he heard this, "Even if you say that, I will still drive you out of Zhuangzi after you recover."
