Chapter 711 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey
However, neither of them said it out loud, but respectfully returned the imperial edict to Xiao Jingxian.
And when he saw the imperial edict in his hand, Xiao Jingxian said in an understatement: "The emperor saw that there were a ruthless ambitions in the court, so he played a play with me, using my defiance to send out the Nanwu mission in the form of a defection, and wanted to catch those in the court who committed rebellion. But when things didn't want to happen, it was a mess. Fortunately, he had time to send me a letter and let me come back."

Yue Qianqiu hugged his hands and looked at Xiao Jingxian with a smile and said lies without blinking. He looked at the people below, either being submissive, flattering, or not being angry, and even more afraid to speak. In short, no one dared to expose this lie. Next, the reason why Xiao Jingxian chose to hold this Hongmen Banquet in such a place was also revealed by him.
"There were rumors outside that Xiao Jin killed the brother-in-law of the pseudo-emperor. Haha, he was still responsible for his work and could never kill anyone casually. He was discovered and cultivated by me. After entering the battle, he was not afraid of death, and he was absolutely not afraid of the powerful in his daily life. But he still abides by the law in everything. Well, I have recited this kind of bad reputation of random killing, so I am never willing to let him recite it again."
Having admitted in disguise that he was a murderer, Xiao Jingxian said with a smile: "Come on, take out all the guys who planned to sell Yongqing City to the fake emperor. Oh, remember to be polite to the uncle who wants to be the national uncle. Didn't he keep yelling in the prison that he is a big man? As for the hard-bodied county magistrate, he doesn't have to take him out, let him sit in the prison and put him in the bottom of the prison!"
Seeing that a large group of people changed their expressions because of these words, Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but look at Xiao Jin who was standing beside Xiao Jingxian.
Yue Qianqiu really admired Xiao Jingxian's omnipresent contact channels. You should know that a few days ago, he was still in Bazhou City, and he has been with him since then. Under his close eyes, he was able to keep in touch with others.
If it weren't for knowing that Xiao Jing had come first or even received a clear order, the young General Xiao Jin would have released the news that he had killed the sixth prince's brother-in-law, the county magistrate and others, and then quietly welcomed Xiao Jingxian and him into the room?
Speaking of which, this man has been silent since he appeared, as if he is not a young general with thousands of troops in hand, but Xiao Jingxian's guard. With Xiao Jingxian's behavior of discarding the guards or subordinates, he can still have such a loyal subordinate. This is simply unrealistic!
No matter what the reason was that the Hongmen Banquet was temporarily silent. When dozens of personal soldiers drove out seven or eight unkempt people like driving out livestock, the silence was suddenly broken. A young man who was pushed and shoved suddenly staggered and fell heavily, but suddenly struggled and raised his head and roared.
"The current emperor is my brother-in-law, Xiao Jin. If you dare to treat me like this, aren't you afraid of being killed by the nine clans?"
Although his roar was a little hoarse, it was still enough for everyone present to hear it. However, the young man who considered himself the uncle did not wait until the soldiers who escorted him had a commotion as he wished, but instead waited for a sneer.
"The current emperor? That father-killing boy has not succeeded yet, and he can't wait to have the throne? You are eight lifetimes too early to be the uncle."
"Uncle" lying on the ground tried his best to turn his head and look at the sound. When he saw the face clearly, he was so scared that his whole body was convulsed. Then he rubbed his eyes. Finally, he moaned in pain and shouted in a voice like a dream: "Impossible, impossible! Xiao Jingxian, why are you here? You have defected to Nanwu for a long time..."
"It's a pity, I'm here." Xiao Jingxian smiled slightly, but that smile seemed so gloomy to many people. "My real uncle is back, and you, the fake uncle who cheats, should be in trouble. If you stay in Nanjing honestly and wait for your brother-in-law to come and meet you in person, then naturally you won't be so far, but who told you to come to Yongqing?"
Hearing this, even the gentry and businessmen around him who were planning to watch a scene of killing chickens to warn monkeys could not help but take a breath. From Xiao Jingxian's tone, they already understood what people wanted to do. As long as the head of another "uncle" fell to the ground at this moment, then those present could only follow Xiao Jingxian's way!
Seeing Xiao Jingxian pulling out Xiao Jin's sword beside him, he drew a bright sword light and directly hit the neck of the unlucky ghost on the ground. In a moment, blood splattered five steps and the head fell to the ground. Yue Qianqiu glanced at the guys around him who were silent, especially the brothers who had carefully studied the imperial edict after being exposed. Seeing that they were dead, he was too lazy to stay.
This is just the beginning. I am afraid that the person who was going to kill someone would be completely scared. He was not interested in eating this Hongmen banquet in a bloody slaughterhouse. Therefore, he turned around and left without thinking. Sure enough, he had not walked too far, and he only heard screams, curses, and begging for mercy behind him, like a tide, but the noise disappeared in just a moment.
Xiao Jingxian did not stop him, and he was happy to escape, and kept returning to his temporary residence.
Close the door and come to the desk and sit down. He pondered for a moment, and then began to grind ink and write. However, what he wrote was not a memorial for anyone to read, but... a diary. It was different from the freshness he felt when he entered Beiyan last time. Now he had no expectations for Beiyan, but just for the task. Since that is the case, he naturally needed to record what he thought was important.
Even if he couldn't send out these records, it was much deeper to keep the content in his mind after writing them down than just seeing and hearing them. He did this all the way after entering Beiyan.
His room was far away from the area of the cell, but even so, with his too sharp ears, he could still hear all kinds of strange movements coming from the other side from time to time. However, Yue Qianqiu was not curious about the methods Xiao Jingxian used there, and he just focused on recording what he saw and heard after entering Yongqing City.
But as he was writing, he suddenly noticed the vague sound of footsteps coming here, and immediately stopped writing and listened with his ears.
He did not believe in Xiao Jin, nor did he believe that Xiao Jingxian would still have such a great influence after he left Beiyan for half a year, nor did he believe that he, who already had a great "famous" in Beiyan, would not be monitored. So, he quickly glanced at the words and paper, and after he confirmed that he would immediately put it on the candle and burn it.
Just as Yue Qianqiu was waiting for the font paper to turn into ashes as before, he heard footsteps closer, and three unhurried and gentle knocks came from outside the door. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing in two days. He couldn't help but frown. Then, while waiting for the font paper to burn, he asked loudly: "Who is it?"
"His Highness of Jin King ordered to deliver food boxes to the Ninth Young Master who had no use of lunch."
This is a very reasonable reason, but Yue Qianqiu felt that the sound seemed familiar and familiar to him a little unreasonable. He hesitated for a moment, and saw that only a corner of the burned paper was left, so he stood up and strode to the door. Before opening the door, he raised his vigilance and slowly opened the door latch, but the next moment, a powerful thrust suddenly came from the door.
Even though he thought he had made complete preparations in advance, he was still led by this huge force to retreat several steps back. Before he could stand firm, a figure had already rushed in, turning around and closing the door and locking the door. His movement was simply incompetent. He was about to speak and call someone, but when he saw the familiar figure and strange face of the visitor, he couldn't help but be stunned and forgot to speak out.
When the person who came closed the door and put down the food box and rushed to him with great momentum, Yue Qianqiu shouted blankly.
“Master…”
"Do you still know that I am your master? Do you know how chaotic Beiyan is now? What are you doing? Are you looking for death?"
Yan Xu couldn't help but learn from the old man Yue, and reached out to grab Yue Qianqiu's ears. But when he saw people's surprise and joy when they saw him, as if his whole body was shining, he couldn't help but soften his heart, but his tone was still very strict. But the next moment, Yue Qianqiu said confidently completely choked him.
"But Master, you are also building a plank road openly, crossing Chencang secretly, and quietly running to Beiyan? I am just learning from you!"
Learn from me... Yan Xu didn't know if he should scold Yue Qianqiu if he didn't learn well, or blame himself for teaching an apprentice who looked too much like him. He smiled bitterly and rubbed his eyebrows, then slowed down and said in a gentle tone: "Xiao Jingxian is a person with a changeable personality and cannot be trusted. Although you are smart, you can easily suffer if you are not good by following him. I have a way to stare at him, so you can go back."
Yue Qianqiu immediately stopped: "Master, Xiao Jingxian is a bold man and will not stay in Yongqing all the time. He is likely to sneak into Nanjing. He cannot take the guards, how can you follow him? He is like mingling here now, disguising himself as if he is disguised as he is? Although Master, you are better than Ji Yue, you are not easy to follow him openly, right? I know him, but I don't know what he is going to do, let alone you!"
Yan Xu frowned when Yue Qianqiu said it. Although he admitted in his heart that his little apprentice was right, he was unwilling to let Yue Qianqiu continue to follow the crazy man Xiao Jingxian. Besides, he already has three sons, but Yue Qianqiu has not yet started a family and a career! How could he be worthy of Mr. Yue if there is a mistake?
But what he completely unexpected was that when he said this, Yue Qianqiu began to push him out the door.
