More than a dozen people whose hidden weapons were discovered pushed the people who blocked their way. They anxiously crowded to the high places, took out the whistling arrows from their waists, and shot them into various parts of the sky.
A series of sharp sounds were heard, and in an instant, the city was in chaos. Teams of more than 20 people from more than 20 places gradually gathered and headed towards Liuxianju. The wisp of red smoke rising from there was the best fixed point and also the end point of their advance.
"Damn it, it's been three hours and they just discovered it. What a bunch of rubbish!"
Outside Liuxianju, the sturdy adjutant drew the sword from his waist and waited for the large army to arrive. When the hundred people arrived, he would rush into Liuxianju first and kill a group of officials inside.
Their plan was simple, not as complicated as Xia Xiao thought, and it was not as stupid as burning down a brothel to express their anger. Xia Xiao thought of the worst way of dealing with things. The rigorous people of Daxia would do that, but the people of the South would not. The local environment and soil nurtured the local people. The people of the South never involved innocent people, and even in the current matter, they could make a clear distinction.
In Liuxianju, the sound of stringed instruments was at its peak. There were songs and dances every morning and night, but there were few people at this time, only a team of officials, a total of 18 people. They enjoyed watching the dancing beauties, drinking and talking about state affairs, and were extremely happy. The leader was a middle-aged man with black chest hair and a big belly, which was in sharp contrast to the petite woman in his arms. His arms were as thick as the latter's waist.
The man's fingers were very thick, and he raised his glass and said loudly:
"Come, let's have a drink together!"
"Master Hong is wise. We can't just listen to the old emperor."
"That's right. He wants to make peace with Daxia and fight against Nanshang together. Then why are we doing so much trouble? In the end, it's not him who is fighting Nanshang to the death, but us! It's better to join Nanshang and enjoy wealth and glory as soon as possible!"
"Master Yang, although this is a good thing, it's not a good idea to put it out in the open, right?"
The man who reminded her saw the woman in his arms turn pale with fear and became cautious. If they spread the news, he would not be able to enjoy the happiness. But Lord Hong spoke in a rough voice without any fear. He felt that he was strong enough. Who would dare to provoke him?
"It doesn't matter! Everyone in this room is smart. If anyone tells others, we won't be happy, and they won't be able to survive either."
The petite girl trembled slightly, but Lord Hong pinched her chin and said in a commanding tone:
“Smile!”
The woman was afraid, her smile was stiff, and tears flashed in the corners of her eyes. She looked so pitiful, afraid that Lord Hong would kill her. But he couldn't bear to kill such a young girl before he could enjoy her. On the contrary, he liked women like this the most, as if they were seeking perfection for themselves, as if they were the emperor.
"grown ups!"
Soldiers were coming downstairs, passing through the red corridor, making harsh noises that disturbed the atmosphere. But when Lord Hong raised his hand, the hall on the second floor fell into silence. Even the women being teased did not dare to make a sound, and turned away with red faces and covered their faces.
"Sir, there is red smoke outside the building. I'm afraid there is an ambush."
"Call all our practitioners here. Since they want to fight, we will fight them to the end. We must let them see who has the most power in this dynasty."
The soldier agreed, but turned around and showed a disdainful smile. A traitor dared to be so arrogant. Although the Southern Kingdom is small, it is not so small that it cannot defeat such a group of villains. As for those practitioners, there are only one or two who really help them. They are also pitiful people, but they deserve to die.
The Southern Kingdom lacks practitioners and strong people, but it never lacks loyal ministers. This is why the Southern Kingdom is so small but has been able to survive for a thousand years!
The madam stood outside the second floor hall and turned to look for Qing Ye'er. As long as she was there, even if Liuxianju was razed to the ground, it could be rebuilt. But there were already two people panting in her room.
"Master, why are you here?"
Xia Xiao, panting, didn't want to say anything more, so he kicked open the window. The green vines outside had formed a staircase leading directly down.
"Let's go, the war is about to begin!"
Qing Ye'er didn't know what was going on, but the old procuress pulled her away. She had heard the conversation between Lord Hong and couldn't delay any longer, so she went out the window and stood on the stairs made of vines. She saw the patrol camp in the distance and felt a little confused.
"Why are they here?"
"On purpose."
Qing Yeer walked down the wooden vine steps quickly and analyzed:
"Lord Hong has evil intentions and will definitely be eliminated by the people sent by His Majesty. But in order to avoid losses, after they kill this group of people, they will surrender to the patrol camp. This way, the losses will be minimized and more people will know about it at the first time."
If Lord Hong dies, Qing Yeer will be very happy. He and his cronies are gathered together, which is really stupid. They gathered in broad daylight. Do they really think they are loyal ministers and have nothing to fear from their own shadows?
Entering the back alley, the four heard a loud noise everywhere, and the whole Yu Valley was in chaos in an instant.
At the main gate of Liuxianju, the two teams met. The plainclothes soldiers fired arrows at the soldiers, and the soldiers holding shields and swords blocked Liuxianju and fought to the death. The adjutant smashed the shield with his sword and shouted at the soldiers who thrust out their spears and wielded their swords:
"You are stubborn and have taken the enemy as your father. If you continue to resist, I will kill you without mercy!"
Since these guys were able to block Liuxianju, it was enough to prove their position. They may not know what their masters are doing, but they know that they can enjoy wealth and glory by following them, so they keep killing enemies to prove their determination. Promotion depends on this moment!
In the distance, the patrol battalion came on horseback. As an unsuspecting middle force, the leading man deliberately slowed down and finally even stopped in the middle of a street.
"Any news?"
The visitor said:
"It was someone sent by His Majesty to kill Hong Hao's followers."
This matter was not announced in advance, probably because they were afraid that the news would leak out, but it would be too early for them to rush there now.
"Wait for a quarter of an hour, otherwise they won't be able to break into Liuxianju."
"yes!"
When the fully armed men and horses stopped, eleven practitioners flew past the eaves and headed towards Liuxianju. The man in the lead had an evil look on his face, but he was full of energy at this time, shouting to kill all these plainclothes soldiers in order to have a smooth future. They shot over the heads of Xia Xiao and others, but there were only two people who really wanted to fight.
"One thing leads to another, is this the way southerners do things?"
"This way we won't kill innocent people."
"But it's too slow and the noise is too loud. Half of Yu Valley is in chaos. Even if we kill them, how can we easily stabilize the situation? It's better to kill them secretly and hang their heads at the gates of each city."
"That's too cruel."
Qing Ye'er and Xia Xiao spoke one by one, the former was amazed at the latter's character. She couldn't imagine that Xia Xiao could say these things so calmly at such a young age. It seemed like he could really do it. Who was he? As long as this question was explored, Xia Xiao would avoid it. And now Qing Ye'er was absolutely safe, so they should leave.
