Dress as a villain

The business in Weidu is in full swing, there is an endless stream of hard labor unloading goods on the pier, and everyone is working hard to make a living.

Sailor patrols are at the wharf, strictly controlling and visiting businessmen from various countries at various checkpoints.

Xie Xia received the news that Xie Ying had stolen to Weidu, as a third uncle, it stands to reason that he should treat his niece well.The problem is that his niece came here as a fugitive.

Not only could he not entertain her, but he had to grab her with his own hands.

Xie Xia told his subordinates to take out Xie Ying's portrait, and let them see this person immediately capture him and bring him to his house.

As soon as Xie Ying came ashore, she saw the sailor holding a portrait to compare with the passing pedestrians. She immediately took a step back, just in time to bump into the old man who got off the boat.

The old man said: "Girl, watch carefully when you walk."

Xie Ying hurriedly gave way: "Please."

The old man hurried over, and he took a special look at Xie Ying when he rubbed shoulders.

Xie Ying went back to the boat and found a short gray shirt with long sleeves. She put it on without saying a word, and then wrapped a piece of cloth around her head to cover her most delicate forehead.

When the ship was out again, the port was in chaos, and the sailors holding the portraits were surrounded by the surrounding people.

The sailor raised his hands in fright: "I, I really didn't push him, he fell down suddenly."

"I saw it. It was the old man who fell down because he was not feeling well. It's none of my brother's business." Another sailor hurriedly explained.

Most of the people gathered around to watch the fun, only two young men kept arguing with the sailors.

Xie Ying took the opportunity to escape the search.

The pier was chaotic for a while, but the local captain came to preside over the order and sent the old man to the hospital, and the people gave up.

The bustling streets are full of people, and they don't dissipate until the sun goes down.

Xie Xia hasn't found Xie Ying yet, so he couldn't help worrying if the child had eaten, why didn't he come to him?What is she doing in Weidu?

In the royal city of Weidu, Si Lei is having dinner with the concubine and the prince.

Soon, the delicious delicacies across the ocean were delivered to the table.

The son looked at the crystal white meat on the glazed jade dish and said, "Father, it is said that this fish can only be found in the deep sea. I wonder which pilot caught it?"

Si Lei said: "Tang'er, this fish is called the sea, the meat is delicious and sweet, you can try it."

"My child understands, but father should move the chopsticks first." Si Tang said: "Father, please try it."

Si Lei looked at his son dotingly, he picked up his chopsticks and tasted it, it was really delicious and sweet.Si Tang picked up the chopsticks for the princess again, and the princess lovingly picked up the fish and sent it to the mouth.

The family is happy.

Suddenly a city soldier rushed into the house, breaking the atmosphere of the family of three.

"Report!" The city soldiers shouted in panic: "My lord, the second son's boat was robbed by water bandits, and the second son was frightened and fell into the water. Now his life and death are unknown!"

"What? Hong'er!" Wang Hao quickly got up, and then fainted.

Si Lei's face turned pale immediately, how dare the water bandits rob Weidu's boat?It's like eating the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard!

"Hurry up and inform General Xie to send troops to suppress the bandits!!"

Cheng Bing said: "The little one has already notified General Xie, and General Xie has gone to Surabaya to suppress the bandits on behalf of him!"

Surabaya?Sitang got up immediately, and said with a solemn expression: "Father, Surabaya is near Twin Islands, and Twin Islands are not our territory."

"If General Xie is rashly sent to attack Surabaya, I'm afraid it will alarm the horse bandits nearby."

The north of Weidu has always been a land where water and land intertwine. The small Weidu is equivalent to a round island close to the mainland, but Twin Island is different. It is close to the Honghezi River and Lu'er Canal in the northern region.

The Twin Islands are full of all kinds of people with unknown origins gathered in the rivers and lakes.The land and water sides have been robbing for ten years, and they have already made themselves rich.

It is said that Twin Islands looted the firearms that various small countries bought from Yue State some time ago, and now they can make up a firearms battalion.All countries are afraid of being settled by Xie Zhuqiu, so they can only open their eyes and close their eyes to this batch of looted firearms, thinking that they are unlucky, and even try their best to separate the relationship.I'm afraid of getting burned.

However, because of the small country in Twin Islands, the combat power of the horse bandits and water bandits increased dozens of times in an instant. In the past, they didn't dare to attack Weidu because they were afraid of the sailors attacking them.

Now that they have firearms, they dare to come to Surabaya to snatch the royal ship.

After Si Lei heard this, he staggered back a few steps, and Si Tang immediately ordered his mother and concubine to be sent back to the backyard. He himself supported Si Lei and said, "Father, you have just recovered from your illness, so you can't work any longer."

"Leave this matter to my son, and I will definitely bring my brother back safely!"

Si Lei could only nod his head: "Tang'er, your younger brother will be entrusted to you."

"An accident must not happen to Hong'er."

Weidu sailors started to set up boats and rushed towards Surabaya. There were ten ships in total.As soon as the sailors arrived near Surabaya, unknown cannons fired in all directions in the reeds of Surabaya, directly blowing up the bomber.

The ten ships were instantly annihilated in ashes, and the entire army was wiped out.The wreckage floated downstream and was discovered by the people of Weidu. Xie Xia was notified by the sailors before he had time to set off.

The ten ships they sent were all blown up by cannons!

Xie Xia finally realized that the hijacking of the royal family in Surabaya and the Twin Islands were not that simple.

He immediately ordered the sailors to go back to the defense and not go to Surabaya again, and he asked people to report that the waterways leading to and passing by Surabaya were blocked, and then cordoned off to various places. This is the territory of water bandits and horse bandits.

When the people received the news, most of them did not dare to pass by Surabaya anymore, and everyone was taking a detour to Weidu. When some businessmen from various countries received the news, they had already been robbed by water bandits and went to Twin Islands.

Horse bandits also robbed many merchants on land.

The princes of various countries immediately wrote to Xie Xia to rescue the kidnapped businessman, and Si Lei kept urging him to rescue his son as soon as possible.

At the end of the day, Xie Xia's head was about to explode.

Xintianjing has Xiwei, and the news that Weidu has been blocked by water bandits for ten years spreads all over Xintianjing. People and merchants all know that there are water bandits in Surabaya, and they are very powerful water bandits, each with cannons.

Xie Lanzhi sent someone to determine whether the tragedy was caused by his own cannon because of lax inspection and control?

The Ministry of Industry searched all over, and not even a wooden nail was lost.

Wei Zhao from the Ministry of Industry even wrote to Si Qitong every day, proving his innocence.Xintianjing fell into panic not because of the water bandits, but because of the cannon.

After the investigation was clear, the local government officials notified that the cannon was lost by the State of Yue.

The people of Xintianjing scolded the Yue Kingdom for not doing good deeds, which resulted in the leakage of firearms and fell into the hands of the bandits on Twin Islands.Various small countries ordered businessmen to avoid going to Surabaya because of guilty conscience, for fear of being found out.

Xi Wei basically found out that the main source of the disaster was Xiaoguo. They failed to make small moves on the battlefield of Yueguo, but instead lost a large number of firearms, causing water bandits to burn, kill and loot with weapons.Do evil.

Si Qi Tong Xin knew that it was too late to make up for it, so she secretly attacked Xiaoguo, and then sent spies to infiltrate Twin Islands to find out the news.

Xie Lanzhi received a letter from Xie Ming, hoping that she would preside over the Yue Kingdom battlefield again.Abana is also urging her to go there quickly, at least to meet again before signing a cooperation contract.

Xie Lanzhi didn't want to procrastinate, but she had more important things to do.

She found Si Qitong: "Little Phoenix, I have to go to Weidu myself."

"You don't need to make a trip yourself if you stay in the palace well." Si Qitong said: "With you here, the enemy will not dare to act rashly!"

Xie Lanzhi stared at her closely, only one sentence: "Also with you, the enemy dare not act rashly."

"Trust my judgment."

Si Qitong pursed his lips, and finally agreed.

Xie Lanzhi hugged her gently, and whispered in her ear: "I leave the opportunity of meritorious service to Xie Ying, not only to test her for the little princess."

"There's one more thing I haven't said, and I'll tell you now."

"The substitute may be very important, but I'm afraid that some things will happen sooner than I thought."

As soon as the words came out.Si Qitong gently pushed her away, looked into her eyes, and after a while, she let go of Xie Lanzhi.

"You go." Si Qitong said, "I won't ask."

In fact, she had already guessed that it was probably the suffering that this era was about to experience.

Now the central defense line, the southern Central Plains, is basically on land and water, and Si Qitong has already taken action to stop Aqina's southward invasion.Sealed Aqina's southward gate.For the time being, it can last for a while.

At least Aqina can no longer step across other people's land openly.

No matter how ambitious the Northern Territory is, it will fall behind because of firearms.

As a big country in the west, Beiluo will definitely not give up the development of firearms.It can be said that it is already impossible for Aqina to continue to develop.Xintianjing had grown into a formidable force of firearms that he could not ignore.

It was beyond Aqina's imagination, but now if the Northern Territory also rises later, Aqina's dream of unification will become more blocked.

Si Qitong's battle situation and Xie Lanzhi's battle situation have been reversed.The overall situation is under Si Qitong's control, and Xie Lanzhi will overcome the difficult situation!

"Little Phoenix, the development of firearms in this era is faster than I imagined." Xie Lanzhi said: "I thought that Abana was already Aqina's backlash, but I didn't expect that it has spread to every corner of the world."

"If we continue to let it develop, things may happen that we cannot predict."

"So I have to clear up some of these hidden dangers."

Si Qitong said: "Weidu must be a battleground for military strategists in times of war."

Xie Lanzhi nodded.

She wrote to Abana to tell him to go back to the delta to control the export of firearms. The delta is not far from the twin islands. As long as the delta sends troops, it will definitely stop the death spot of the twin islands.

When Abana received her letter, he couldn't help muttering: "The cooperation treaty hasn't been finalized yet, so I want to order this king to do this and that so soon!"

Xie Ming was suddenly dissatisfied and said: "Since you don't want to obey the order, then go back quickly!"

"Don't call at that time when King Hu Xiong comes, you have no allies to ask for help! Who else in this world is capable of saving you except our Marshal!"

Aba gave him a blank look, and he put away the letter and said, "Isn't it just a twin island? There are at most 1000 people, and you can send a few cannons to bombard me, and the problem will be solved!"

"You still need me!"

Xie Ming said: "You must be cowardly!"

"The king said, you can use cannons so why can't you understand people's language!" Aba Na couldn't help grinning: "Do you understand what is called a quick battle?"

Although Xie Ming also felt that quick battles and quick decisions were king, he just didn't want to obey Abana.

"What our marshal says is what we say? You surrendered soldier just obey orders!"

Abana felt that the Central Plains people were simply unreasonable. No wonder their ancestors were able to invade the Central Plains and occupy the north.The Central Plains people themselves are a mess.

Abana immediately went to Delta to control the export of firearms on behalf of them, and also cut off orders from the Northern Territory to make huge profits from it, so as to prevent the rapid spread of weapons and give them no advantage.

It's just that Aba felt strange, how could there be cannons on Twin Islands?He wasn't stupid enough to sell such a weapon.

He didn't care about it, the Central Plains people were self-willed, anyway, they were the ones who suffered in the end!

Xie Ying slipped into Weidu and became a hard laborer. While carrying the goods, she heard that the second son of King Li was robbed by water bandits.

Occasionally, you can hear news about Twin Islands.

After a while, Xie Xia led the people back to the pier. Not far away, she watched the third uncle come back with a disheveled face and a few wounded soldiers behind him.

Seeing this, the hard workers worried and said: "If even Mrs. Xie can't do anything about it, the water bandits on Shuangzi Island are really powerful."

"No way, it was the Twin Islands who launched a sneak attack. General Xie didn't know that they had firearms, so he would eat melons."

"Just wait and see, no matter how bad it is, Marshal Xie is still here."

When Xie Ying heard this, she said, "You can't always rely on the Marshal, she just finished fighting the Yue Kingdom and hasn't had time to catch her breath."

Another group of hard workers said: "Marshal Xie is the most valiant female general in our southern Central Plains, and it will be a matter of time before a mere twin island is taken away."

"No matter how bad your highness is, your highness can kill Hu Xiong even if you don't fight. Now which country is not rushing to Tianjing to form an alliance, it is afraid that Hu Xiong will attack himself first when he goes south, and no one will support him."

"I think His Highness is even more powerful. She caused huge losses to the Huxiong people with just one move. I haven't seen the Huxiong merchants for a long time recently."

"Now that Hu Xiong's merchants have such a bad reputation, who would dare to do business with them!"

"There are also Luochuan merchants who are famous for their fake leather products. My boss at the other end bought Luochuan's fake products and cursed at the west side every day."

"I think Marshal is better."

"No, Your Highness is even more powerful."

The two gangs of hard workers started to quarrel over who was stronger. Xie Ying was full of shame, and soon the manager came over with an abacus, and he scolded these gangsters: "What are you arguing about? Your Highness and the marshal are singing together to rule the country. Bang. The marshal is fighting on the front line, and His Highness is in the rear, taking all directions, each performing its own duties, and one is indispensable."

The hard workers gave the steward their thumbs up one after another: "The steward is still educated."

The manager was praised and coughed lightly: "You met me today. If you just whipped a whip a few years ago, it's not like hitting it now. If you break your skin, you will go to the yamen."

Moreover, everyone in the yamen was scrambling to give advice, for fear of missing their political achievements, so many businessmen did not dare to mess around.As long as they manage food and money normally, no one would dare to blackmail businessmen.After all, those who steal, rape and play tricks are in the minority.

Seeing that the newcomer Xie Ying was working hard, the manager specially named Xie Ying by name: "Look at the newcomer, he is so agile, you all should work harder for me."

"Our boss doesn't have to worry about a few meters, and we can fill up at noon!"

The peons immediately became elated.

Xie Ying was silently carrying a bag of grain. Passing by the port, she saw the old man wandering around on crutches. Xie Ying delivered the grain to the station, and when she turned to look for the old man, the old man disappeared again.

Xie Ying couldn't help frowning.

At the same time Xie Xia returned to the mansion, remembering the loss of 200 people, he was so angry that he flipped the table.畩澕

Si Tang just arrived at the mansion, opened the folding fan in his hand, and said in a personable manner, "General Xie, why use the table to vent your anger."

"The best way right now is to take the twin islands to avenge the brothers!"

He has heard about Xie's nest guns for a long time. Although the wheel cannons updated by the Ministry of Industry are more advanced, the old nest guns are still deadly weapons in the local area.

Xie Xia held back his breath, and said, "My lord, all my brothers died to save your brother!"

"You don't need to remind me, this prince will remember them." Si Tang said: "This prince doesn't want to do any compensation afterwards."

"I have just paid out 5000 taels of pensions to their families, and each family will send them to their families. In the future, their families will have discounts when they come to Weidu to do business."

Xie Xia calmed down a little.

Si Tang said: "General Xie, my second brother must not die. He is not only my second brother, but also involves the interests of the entire prestige."

Xie Xia felt that there was something in his words, and he said, "May I ask what position your second brother holds?"

"The treasury." Si Tang said: "The treasury in Weidu is managed by him."

Xie Xia felt baffled, why didn't Si Lei take care of it himself if he was capable?Do you have to take care of the second son?And even surpassing the son of the world, aren't you afraid of turning the two brothers against each other?

He glanced at Si Tang suspiciously.

Sitang smiled and said: "You don't have to look at me like that, this son is a generous person."

"The general doesn't want to know about your family affairs." Xie Xia said, "I plan to organize sailors to attack Surabaya again, and take Surabaya back first."

Si Tang said: "You attack Surabaya, it would be faster to take the twin islands directly."

Xie Xia didn't take his opinion, and soon outside the mansion, messenger soldiers came to the door: "Report——report to the general, the marshal's letter!"

"Express delivery!" Xie Xia was a little excited.

The letter soldier handed the letter to Xie Xia and quickly withdrew. Si Tang's eyes fell on the letter, and then he moved away calmly.

After Xie Xia opened the letter and read it, his brows almost pinched a fly. He put the letter away and said, "The Marshal told me to stay put and send more troops to garrison all the ports in Weidu."

Si Tang said: "Shou Zhong is indeed a solution."

"It's just that if you are too conservative, you will lose the opportunity."

Xie Xia said: "Marshal has his own way, I just keep it."

"As for your brother, I will send someone to discuss with the water bandits to see if he can be redeemed."

Si Tang said: "Then this son can only save himself."

"You'd better not act rashly." Xie Xia said.Si Tang didn't say anything more, just hugged him and left the mansion.

Xie Xia didn't keep him, he still wanted to send someone to find Gou Ying.Another soldier wearing a pro-military uniform came outside, and the other party came over and patted him on the shoulder. Xie Xia reflexively grabbed the other's arm and was about to throw it over his shoulder.

As a result, his eyes turned from top to bottom, and then he turned upside down and was thrown to the ground.

The opponent moved faster than him.

Xie Xia was dumbfounded: "Let's go, let's go!"

The soldiers pulled him up, and then she took off the helmet, her soft eyes with a smile, like a spring breeze that has not changed for thousands of years: "I haven't seen you for a year, your reaction has become slow."

"Yuan, marshal!" Xie Xia stood up. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he was right, and then he was shocked: "Why did you come in person?"

And with this outfit?Why didn't you tell him you were coming.

Xie Lanzhi only said: "Just let me do business by your side recently, don't ask about other things."

"And who was the young master just now?"

Xie Xia quickly accepted her attire: "It's Shizi Sitang, who came here specifically for his younger brother."

Xie Lanzhi heard that Si Lei's second son was kidnapped by water bandits, and his life and death are unknown now, and the water bandits didn't come to ask for a ransom.

"No news means he's safe," she said.

"Why are you so sure?" Xie Xia said, "Marshal, those water bandits now have firearms stolen from black ships from various countries, and they even have cannons."

"Marshal, that second prince is really a disaster."

Xie Lanzhi said: "Abana doesn't have a cannon, if he has one at the border of the Red River, he won't lose to Aqina."

And she came here in person just because she felt strange.

An Shan and the new stand-in are both important lifeblood for her to die Aqina.

As for An Shan, no one knew his true face in Lushan.

"I will stay by your side these few days." Xie Lanzhi said, "As a personal guard."

Five days later, the water bandits finally sent the first message to Weidu: "Take 5000 million dual-purpose ships and send them to Surabaya."

When Si Lei received the ransom demand, he almost fainted, let alone whether he had 5000 million taels, even if he had, he had no right to take all the money in the treasury to redeem his son.

Even his private treasury is only 1000 million taels.

He didn't directly lower the price with the water bandits, but asked the water bandits to give him a few more days, because he couldn't prepare that much money for the time being.

The water bandit asked him to get ready within three days, otherwise he would just tear up the ticket.

Si Lei also bargained and replied to the water bandits that he must see if his son is still alive before paying the ransom.The water bandits agreed to let him send someone to take a look across the bank.

Si Lei sent a trusted aide to go, and Si Tang learned about it, so he volunteered to recommend himself.

"No, Hong'er has fallen into the hands of water bandits, I can't let you take any more risks." Si Lei refused, "You stay in Weidu to maintain order."

Si Tang insisted: "Father, those water bandits are very treacherous, who knows if they will do something wrong, what if the people sent there don't recognize my second brother?"

"Maybe there will be a scene where the civet cat is exchanged for the prince. Don't forget that more than half of the twin islands are from the Jianghu people. The simple disguise technique is easy for them."

Si Lei hesitated immediately.The eldest son was right.Those who can tell the second son apart from the parents are the eldest brother, or the nanny.

He said: "Otherwise, send the nanny to confirm."

Si Tang did not continue to persuade, he said: "Let the nanny go, if it doesn't work, I will go again."

The water bandits kept their promise and pushed the second son, Si Hong, to the shore in the reed field in Surabaya, so that the nanny who was sitting in a small boat could dock. But when she saw the second young master, the nanny saw his bruised nose and swollen face, and immediately became weeping.

The second son asked her for help excitedly: "Nurse is me, nanny save me!"

The water bandits thought he was too loud, so they punched and kicked him in front of the nanny. The nanny was so frightened that she knelt on the boat and begged distressedly: "Please be merciful, our prince is already raising money, please don't hurt our second son." !"

"The acquaintance point will be ready in three days!" The water bandit escorted the second son into the reed field, the figures of several people were covered by the tall reeds, and the second son begged for mercy from time to time.

The nanny went back to the capital by boat and told Si Lei everything that happened to the second young master.Don't mention how distressed Si Lei is.

He went to ask Xie Xia if he could help raise some money. The money in Xie Xia's hands was all military funds, so it was impossible for him to use it.

Xie Xia planned to offer 5000 taels, but he couldn't afford the rest.

Xie Lanzhi said: "Don't feel sorry for the little money, take it out and let him redeem it."

"But our military expenditure of 5 people..." Xie Xia swallowed a bit reluctantly. Once all was given, the meat buns would be beaten to death. He still has so many people to support his family.Having no money will shake the morale of the army.

Xie Lanzhi said: "Your partner is in trouble, if you don't lend a helping hand, if you encounter trouble in the future, don't blame him for standing by and watching."

Xie Xia felt that the marshal had something to say, and just as he was about to ask, Xie Lanzhi's eyes darkened, suggesting that he should ask less.

Xie Xia had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree to Si Lei, lending him all the general expenses, a total of 500 million taels.Compared with 5000 million, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

"Marshal, the water bandits' asking price is 5000 million. It's like a lion's mouth. Can they swallow that much money?"

"Have you ever thought that if they want a ransom it's just a cover?"

Xie Lanzhi's rhetorical question immediately made Xie Xia speechless, and even he began to doubt the 5000 million ransom.Could it be that the water bandits have other purposes?

At the end of the Jin Dynasty, most of them asked for more food than money. Water bandits living on the island are supposed to be short of resources.

What the Marshal said is indeed true!

When Xie Lanzhi saw that Xie Xia wanted to ask again, her eyes turned cold again, Xie Xia had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

"Did Xie Ying come to see you?"

Xie Xia said: "That child is notoriously stubborn, she fled to Weidu and never thought of contacting my uncle."

He is not a scourge, he can only take care of his own family, but unfortunately that child has the same virtue as the second brother, and his self-esteem is too strong.

It seems that Xie Ying wants to act alone.Xie Lanzhi frowned slightly: "If she needs anything from you, you can help her as much as possible."

Xie Xia was relieved to hear that the marshal was so tolerant to his niece, and he was afraid that the marshal would blame the child.

Thinking that the child is no longer a serious Xie Shi, he sighed and said: "Actually, Marshal, regarding the matter of the second brother, I think..."

Xie Lanzhi suddenly took a quick step back and stood behind Xie Xia. Xie Xia felt uncomfortable all over, and when he looked up, he saw Sitang coming.

Sitang waved his fan, and said very gracefully: "General Xie, I really need your help this time."

Xie Xia resolutely said: "I promise to give 500 million taels to help the prince save the second young master."

The Sitang was overwhelmed with astonishment, and when he spoke, he twitched his tongue: "Thank you, General. This son will never forget your great kindness."

When Si Tang left, he took 500 million taels back to Wangcheng. When Si Lei saw the 500 million taels filled with ten boxes, some were silver and some were copper plates, he was very moved for a moment.

"Thank you, General, for your kindness. This King will never repay you."

"Father, I didn't expect him to be so generous this time." Si Tang said: "I thought it would take a lot of talking, but he promised only about [-] to [-] taels. I didn't expect such a generous offer."

Si Lei was grateful for Xie Xia's help, and he also thought that Xie Xia would not pay, but he didn't expect him to directly take out all the military expenses.This person is worthy of deep friendship!

"Now we have enough 3000 million taels, and there are 2000 million taels left." Si Lei decided to sell all of Wang Cheng's wealth to businessmen from various countries, or collect some taxes in advance.

The last 2000 million was sent by Si Qitong to deliver the gold.

Si Lei was shocked immediately, even His Royal Highness sent money to save his son. When they were in trouble, they helped him with all their might. This great kindness was something that Si Lei could never repay in his lifetime.Thinking of how he once stood by and ignored his niece, Si Lei felt ashamed.

He wants to return 2000 million.The water bandit gave him three days, and he now has one more day to continue raising money.

At this time, the news that the second son was killed by the water bandits and dumped his body suddenly spread from all over Weidu. It is said that the person who spread the news was a businessman who had just escaped.They saw the second son's body thrown into the river with their own eyes.

And the fishermen also salvaged the body wearing the clothes of the second son.The corpse had been soaked for at least two days, and it was beyond recognition.

When Si Lei received the news, he suppressed his fear and grief to identify the corpse. Xie Xia kindly sent the corpse, and after Si Lei's inspection, it was indeed the second son's corpse.

"Hong'er!!" Si Lei fainted from crying on the spot.

When Sitang saw the corpse, his emotions broke down and he yelled.

The people of Weidu collectively mourned for the second young master. After all, the second young master has made great contributions in Weidu. When the Xiaoyao Palace was destroyed, it was the silver that the second young master realized and forwarded to the victim's family.

It also subsidizes a lot of money in the pockets of ordinary people.At that time, the common people got the money and promoted the consumption boom in Weidu.Set a feat of 3 taels of trade volume on the day!

The common people went to the river to lay flowers one after another.

The officers and soldiers turned a blind eye today and opened various checkpoints to allow the common people to have a place to pay homage to the second son.

Until the people poured into the area guarded by the Xie family, the Xie soldiers immediately stopped them: "The government's important place! No one else is allowed to approach!"

Immediately, someone among the people shouted indignantly: "Now the whole city is paying homage to the second son, what kind of onion are you!"

"Weidu is not owned by your Xie family! You have no right to act wildly here!"

"Get out of the way, no one can stop us from mourning the Second Young Master today!"

Soon a few people took the lead in clashing with Xie Bing, and the people were stunned. When they realized who had been bumped, everyone rushed forward and broke through Xie Bing's defense line.

Xie soldiers were submerged in the crowd, at a loss.Seeing that the people in front had all passed by, the people in the back rushed forward.

The Xie family guards the important points in Weidu, especially the grain. There are either granaries or silk nearby. 3000 people can't resist tens of thousands of people.

In this way, all the key points were crowded with people, and some people even started boats to go to the other side to express their condolences.

The Xie soldiers immediately went to stop: "Stop! Come back to me!!"

The more Xie Bing shouted, the faster the boat drove until it reached the opposite bank, and then quickly sailed downstream.Seeing that the situation was wrong, Xie Bing immediately sent people to chase after him by boat. The fort on the bank saw several boats chasing after them in the river. They were about to fire and found that the bank was full of people. If they fired, they would hurt the people.They couldn't eat and walked around.

The fort did not dare to fire, and Xie Bing, who was chasing by boat, was terrified, and just about to catch up, he threw the gunpowder bag onto the boat, emitting white smoke, which scared the Xie soldiers to jump off the boat one after another.

After jumping off the boat, Xie Bing discovered that it was a squib.

Everyone was so angry that they got on the boat and continued to chase, but the boat had already escaped.

Xie Bing realized that someone took advantage of the chaos and sailed away. Although he didn't know what the other party had committed, he must have committed a guilty conscience by escaping.

After Xie Bing went ashore, he rushed to report.

The three spies on the shore couldn't help cursing: "Let them run away, these Hu Huns are really cunning."

"This group of thanking soldiers is really useless, they can't even catch up with anyone."

"Don't blame them. If you want to blame, blame the enemy for being too cunning and deliberately attracting people to come here to express their condolences."

"Quickly report!"

On the boat that escaped, six Hu Huns got out of the boat and started to leave the downstream. All the way down, as long as they cross the river in front and leave the river boundary of Weidu, it will be the territory of the four countries of Nanyang.At that time, you can take a big treasure ship and go back to your home country.

The Hu Huns shouted here: "We can finally return to China!"

"I don't want to stay in such a ghostly place anymore. I don't eat well or wear warm clothes, and I'm afraid of being exposed every day."

"It's better to go back to the mother country after following him."

The Hu Huns were so excited on the boat that they didn't notice the person who punted the boat. He had already raised the bamboo poles. The next second, the man was holding the bamboo poles and picked people off the boat one by one. The Hu Huns had barely reacted. They beat them to death, until five of them passed out, and only one of them wanted to continue swimming and escape. That man simply used a bamboo pole to turn a gun into the last Hu Huns.

She fished out the other five and tied them to the boat.

Xie Ying's hair was dripping with water, she searched around and found some letters and keepsakes on them.

The content of the letter was a lot blurred, and with just a few words, Xie Ying pieced together the general meaning: "The sacrificial offering is restless and wants to escape."

What happened after that, Xie Ying only saw a few words: Everyone was wiped out.There are only six of them left.

"We don't want to be around the monster anymore, that monster... please forgive me!"

The last letter was wrapped in red paper. Xie Ying opened it and found that there was a piece of moisture-proof butter paper wrapped in a yellow talisman, which was a Tai Sui talisman with the horoscope of birth and date written on it.

"June 21." Xie Ying's pupils tightened and she crushed the Jupiter Talisman: "Qiqi."

She immediately pushed the boat back to catch up.It happened that there were spies who continued to chase, and when Xie Ying approached with a boat, the spies immediately recognized her.

"Is it the little general?" The spy jumped into the boat, and after confirming that it was the group that ran away just now, and there was blood on the bamboo pole, the spy guessed that the rest of them were dead.

Xie Ying handed the person over to the secret agent, and asked impatiently, "What's the relationship between Tai Sui Talisman and Qiqi?"

The spy was stunned and said: "This is a secret, you have no right to know."

Xie Ying immediately picked up the bloody bamboo pole and pressed it against the spy's neck. The spy was not afraid at all: "Bold! Your Highness asked you to take the crime and perform meritorious service, but you repay His Highness like this!"

"Tell me what's the relationship with Qiqi?!" Xie Ying said in a cold tone, "Why did the Marshal chase after that person? Who is that person?"

The secret agent thought that the Marshal told her everything, so she should know everything, but she didn't know anything and risked her life to come to Weidu?Just for a woman.

Thinking that this Xie family also likes women and is still a princess of a country, his face darkened: "You have no right to ask me!"

"Since the marshal pointed out a way for you, you should go well."

Xie Ying pushed the bamboo pole closer to the spy's throat: "Say!"

"Kill me, you don't even have a chance to get close to that monster!" The secret agent looked like he would rather die than surrender, making Xie Ying helpless.She had to let the spy go, then went ashore, and disappeared among the crowd again.

The spies took the rest away.

Xie Xia didn't expect to give Si Lei all the general expenses, but he still didn't get it back.

He didn't know how to comfort Si Lei, he heard that he was already sick.

"Marshal, what do you think those water bandits are thinking? Kill them as soon as they say they want, they are not here for money?"

Even if it wasn't for the money, he wouldn't be so stupid as to kill someone before he got the money.

Xie Lanzhi felt strange, the water bandit demanded a ransom at the beginning, and asked the nanny to test Sihong, why did he turn around and kill him again?And that corpse.She said, "Go and see Si Hong's body."

So she can follow along to see.

Unexpectedly, Xie Xia immediately covered her nose: "No, I heard it stinks to death."

Xie Lanzhi: "..."

There is really no tacit understanding at all.

She kicked Xie Xia immediately, causing Xie Xia to stagger a few steps forward, and only then did he realize that it was the Marshal who wanted to take a look.

"The end will be arranged immediately."

Si Tang heard that Xie Xia wanted to mourn the second young master in person, so he specially opened the door, dressed in white linen, to receive Xie Xia.Xie Xia went over and cried loudly: "Second Young Master, why did you go!"

"You promised to buy me a drink, but why did you ask your parents to send the white-haired man to the black-haired man before it came true?"

Xie Lanzhi took out a handkerchief to him at the right time: "My condolences to the general."

Xie Xia took the handkerchief and blew her nose, crying endlessly.

Si Tang was a little dumbfounded.

After that, he took Xie Xia to the back hall to see the body of his second brother, and there was a smell from a long distance away.A corpse was covered with a white cloth on a stretcher in the distance.

Xie Xia was about to vomit after taking two steps. He suppressed his nausea and approached. Xie Lanzhi next to him had already squatted down and lifted the corner of the white cloth covering his head. All he saw was blurred vision, skin cysts, and piercings. There were bugs coming out of it.

"Ouch!" Xie Xia turned her head, leaning on the pillar next to her to vomit.He would rather go to war than fight
