Jiangnan Wanmei Villa.

There are no plum blossoms in Wanmei Villa yet.

It is October now and chrysanthemums and hibiscus are blooming on the hillsides.

Facing the flowers all over the mountain, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou almost didn't want to leave this place.

Hua Manlou suddenly said: "I walked here and suddenly I didn't want to go in."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded and said: "I understand, you are admiring the flowers, not the murderous aura."

Hua Manlou shook his head: "It's not just that."

"oh?"

"I think we have fallen into a huge trap. The other party seems to be asking us to invite Ximen Chuixue."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I know."

"Since you know, why did you come here?"

"Because Jiangnan is indeed in ruins, and there are indeed undercurrents under the calm water. If I want to stop them, I need Ximen Chuixue's help."

Hua Manlou pondered for a moment, nodded, then suddenly walked into Wanmei Villa with her head held high and Lu Xiaofeng followed her.

Half an hour later, they arrived in front of Ximen Chuixue.

Lu Xiaofeng was leaning on a soft chair made of ivy. The wine in his glass was light blue.

And Hua Manlou was sitting quietly on a grand master's chair. He didn't have a wine glass in his hand, and his expression was very indifferent.

Ximen Chuixue stood tall and proud, all dressed in snow-white.

After a while, he spoke: "Both Zhao Gang and Xie Jian were killed by Chen Zhao?"

"yes."

"You came here to ask me to kill Chen Zhao?"

"No." Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "For us martial arts people, it is taboo to go against the government, because if you are not careful, you will be used as a weapon by those big shots."

"It is a fact that Zhao Gang and Xie Jian were killed by Chen Zhao."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed. He put the large glass of wine on his chest and suddenly took a deep breath. The wine glass on his chest was immediately sucked in by him. The full glass of wine was also immediately sucked in by him.

It went into the stomach with a "gu na" sound.

The smooth operation of his qigong is a rare miracle in the world.

Even Sikong Zhaixing feels inferior to him.

But Ximen Chuixue turned a blind eye and asked again: "I heard that Jin Jiuling once fought against him."

Lu Xiaofeng could only answer: "Yes."

"How many moves did Jin Jiuling lose?"

"one move."

Ximen Chuixue's pale face suddenly flashed a strange color, and he continued to ask: "Have you ever fought against him?"

"No, I've never even seen him!"

Ximen Chuixue asked again: "So how is his martial arts?"

Lu Xiaofeng forced a smile and said, "I just know it's amazing."

Ximen Chuixue suddenly showed excitement on his face, and said slowly: "If I can compete with him, it will be a great pleasure in my life!"

At this time, he was far away in the Nanwang Mansion in Yangcheng.

Ye Gucheng, the Lord of Baiyun City, looked calm when he heard the Fei Ge Biography read out by Crown Prince Nan himself: "How is Chen Zhao's martial arts?"

"There is no one in the south of the Yangtze River who can defeat him. The God of Jinling captured Jin Jiuling and was defeated by one move. The iron-faced dragon king Jia Leshan was knocked unconscious directly. Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou, Ximen Chuixue and other Jiangnan knights did not take action. As for Gan Fengchi, Bai Taiguan and others

Human beings are not even worth mentioning." Prince Nan Wang said respectfully.

"How could Ximen Chuixue not take action? It seems that martial arts are superior to Mu Taoist." Ye Gucheng ignored everyone and just read out a name.

"What Master said is absolutely true."

"But the Jiangnan people want to kill him, what does it have to do with our Nanwang Mansion in Tiannan?" Ye Gucheng asked.

"Master, all the major families in the south of the Yangtze River have business dealings with us in Yangcheng. The Nanwang Palace makes hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year. What's more, if Chen Zhao is killed and the three major trading houses are taken over, our Nanwang Palace and the Nanhai Sect will surely rise to the top.

." Crown Prince Nan had a longing look on his face and his eyes were hot.

"So that's it." Ye Gucheng didn't say much, but stroked his sword with his hand.

When Prince Nan saw his master's actions, he felt reassured and immediately bowed his head and left, going to find others to negotiate.

At this time, in the Ghost Villa far away in the Qinling Mountains, the Taoist Taoist Dao Bao Zimu, who always wore a straw hat to cover his face, was sitting across from his right-hand man nicknamed "General".

"General"'s real name is Long Meng Long Fei Shi. He is the owner of Twenty-Six Cave in the Miao Mountains on the border of Yunnan and a master of the Bashan Sword Sect. He loves eating meat all his life and enjoys it.

At this time, he was eating a large pot of meat, taking a sip of wine, and eating a large piece of meat.

Lao Daobaozi neither drank nor ate meat, so he stayed by his side.

After a long time, Long Menglong Feishi said: "What does the matter of the Jiangnan people have to do with us? Why should we participate in the assassination of the imperial envoy? What benefits does it bring to us?"

"No benefit."

"Then why do we do it?"

"They paid too much."

…

When Chen Zhao's fleet arrived in Suzhou, urgent information suddenly came from the sea.

A group of Japanese pirates, together with pirates, the Giant Whale Gang, and the Haisha Gang, numbering about four to five thousand people, came ashore from Jiaxing, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and burned, killed, and looted all the way to Suzhou.

When they arrived outside Suzhou City, the Fengwei Gang of Taihu Pirates acted as internal agents and attacked Suzhou City with firecrackers and cannons obtained from who knows which vassal.

All the officials were frightened. They all said that the Jiangnan garrison was unable to fight. Chen Zhaonai was a man of both civil and military skills and had once intimidated the Jurchens. With him leading the Hu Xia Jinyi Guards to guard Suzhou City, he would definitely be able to ensure the safety of the people in the city.

So Chen Zhao's imperial envoy marched into Suzhou City overnight.

Just when some people think everything is going well,

There was a confrontation between two groups of officers and soldiers at the temporary military warehouse at Huqiu Preparatory Army Station in the north of Suzhou City.

"Who are you? How dare you come here to act wild! Do you know where this is? This is the Liangjiang vassal treasury! Breaking into the treasury's important territory is punishable by death according to the law!"

A tall and thin man in his thirties, wearing a green robe and a raven-winged black gauze hat, shouted majestically.

Behind him stood several confidants, as well as hundreds of Jiangfan Kukudin, holding knives and sticks, looking at Xu Ziling and his party with unkind eyes.

"I am the imperial envoy from the Imperial Envoy to the right of Qiandu, the censor of Jiangnan. I am under the command of Jinyiwei Tongzhi, Xu Ziling, from a thousand households. I have been ordered by the imperial envoy to take over the Huqiu vassal treasury."

"They are the subordinates of Shenduan Yushi."

The Kudins were whispering to each other, discussing one after another, their expressions suddenly relaxed a lot, and the knives and sticks in their hands also dropped.

In the shadow of the famous human tree, Chen Zhao has been fighting chaos and destroying the powerful in the Jiangnan area in the past few months. The reputation he has accumulated is not in vain. It is already very intimidating to these ordinary Kudins.

The tall and thin man's face was as gloomy as water. He looked back at the few confidants behind him, winked, and signaled them to stabilize the people's hearts. Then he turned around and continued to scold: "This is the vassal treasury, and the censor of Youqiandu is still here."

You can’t control it here!”

"What a coincidence, I have here the votes and warrants for the governor of Liangjiang and Yingtian to participate in the political affairs." Xu Ziling said loudly, "In response to the Jun order of the governor of Liangjiang, I have found out that there are thieves who intend to invade the vassal treasury and want to do evil, so I have invited the imperial envoy to the capital.

The Imperial Censor of the Right Qiandu of the Procuratorate sent people to supervise the case, and prepared a band of thieves to train and take over the guard, so as to ensure a complete plan. All the people from the vassal treasury to the next should listen to the deployment and make sure there is no mistake."

After finishing reading, Xu Ziling unfolded the paper warrant and showed it to everyone. Then he pointed at the people behind him and said: "I believe you all know the person behind you. The officer in the middle camp of the Governor's Mansion got the Fire Ticket of the Governor's Mansion.

, have you looked carefully?"

The officer of the middle camp recognized the interest and stepped forward to agree: "Exactly, we are all here on official business under the orders of the Governor-General Jun. We have sent orders to the vassal treasury and handed them over to the subordinates of Mr. Chen, the censor of Youqiandu, and the bandits for training.

Co-management, temporary military law, and heightened alert!"

The tall and thin man's expression became even uglier, and he kept saying, "This is an important place for the vassal state. Just the warrant from the Governor's Mansion alone is not enough. We must also transfer the warrant from the Secretary of Fire and General Li of Jinling!"

"How dare you disobey me!" Xu Ziling asked solemnly.

The tall and thin man took two steps back in fright, his face and forehead were covered with beads of sweat, and the flesh on both sides of his cheeks twitched a few times. Then he remembered the words explained backstage, and couldn't help but straighten his waist again, and said with a slightly trembling voice:

"Anyway, no one is allowed to enter the vassal treasury without Lord Li's warrant!"

"Ah!" There was a scream, and the tall and thin man covered his left shoulder with a pale face. The left half of his body was covered with blood. His left arm broke off and fell to the ground. The tall and thin man fell to the ground in a pool of blood, unconscious.

The few confidants in the back looked at me and I looked at you, but they did not dare to step forward to help their boss.

"Military law is ruthless, but you are messing around here!" Xu Ziling twisted a steel knife in his hand and said with disdain, "Guo Yangli, the ambassador to the treasurer of the Liangjiang vassal, colluded with the bandits in an attempt to steal the official treasury silver, but was discovered on the spot.

If you act like a thief and resist with weapons, you will be killed on the spot!"

Lin Fei, who had been standing silently next to Xu Ziling just now, stepped forward, waved his sword and cut off Guo Yangli's head.

"According to the orders of the Governor-General and the imperial censor Chen Jun, we will take over the current military laws of the vassal. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed!" Lin Fei held up Guo Yangli's round head and shouted at the crowd, blood.

It dripped on his arm, but he didn't notice it. Everywhere he looked, people were so frightened that they lowered their heads, trembled, and didn't even dare to express their anger!

Seeing that everyone was submissive, Lin Fei waved his hand and threw his head on the ground.

"If you still don't surrender your weapons, accept the order!" Xu Ziling shouted: "You are holding weapons, but you want to resist the order?"

As soon as he finished his words, the Kudins knelt on the ground, dropped all the knives and sticks in their hands, and kowtowed: "Young ones don't dare! Young ones don't dare! My lord, spare my life!"

Who dares to speak harshly at this time? Is it because the head is too heavy and it’s uncomfortable to carry? Or is it because the neck is too stiff and wants to try it out? These Kudins all know in their hearts that if they dare to say anything back, these killing gods in front of them will not do anything.

He chopped himself into pieces without hesitation, and then said that he was an accomplice and lackey of the bandit leader Guo Yangli. After spending a long time in the officialdom of the provincial capital, who wouldn’t know these tricks?

Xu Ziling nodded to Lin Fei. He understood and waved his hand. Three hundred Yangzhou saltmen rushed in, divided into two groups, and went to take over the key points of the Huqiu treasury. Along the way, they took over two hundred Kuding and the deputy treasurer and other officials.

They were supervised together.
