Chapter 236: Yuezhou Weizhong People
Chapter 236: Yuezhou Weizhong People
"who!"
A cry of surprise, like thunder breaking the silence,
Not only did it shake every beam and pillar in the room, it also disturbed the dreams of countless people.
Lu Yunyi no longer hesitated, stretched out his body, his eyes flashing with determination and sharpness,
The dagger in his hand shone coldly under the dim candlelight.
He pounced as fast as a cheetah and rushed out the door without hesitation.
Almost at the same time, Liu Heiying in the left wing and Guo Quan in the right wing also heard the sound and rushed out.
The long sword in his hand has been unsheathed, drawing silver tracks in the darkness.
The only remaining dim candle in the corridor was blown by the airflow brought by the door, making it flicker, adding a bit of oppression.
Lu Yunyi's eyes quickly swept across the corridor, and finally stopped at the vague black shadow at the left end.
You can still see some shadows closely packed together, looming in and out of sight, as if blending into the night.
"Black Hawk, left hand side!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yunyi bent slightly and jumped out like a cheetah.
The guard standing at the door of the wing room also rushed forward.
Guo Quan, holding a long knife, stared vigilantly at the end of the corridor on the right!
Liu Heiying took the lead, his figure like an arrow shot from a bow, heading straight for the black shadow.
When he got closer, the moonlight was dim, but it was enough for him to see the other person's clothes clearly.
Liu Heiying's pupils suddenly contracted at this moment, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
The metallic luster under the faint moonlight made him sure that the person was wearing armor!
Liu Heiying's mind was full of thoughts, confusion and shock, but he acted without delay.
A low shout!
The long sword in his hand swung sideways, coming down from the air with a sharp sound of breaking wind, and went straight towards the man.
The long sword drew a silver arc, instantly shortening the distance between the two sides.
When the long sword was about to hit him, the man finally took action.
He moved his body slightly, and swung the long sword in his hand, colliding with Liu Heiying's long sword.
"when!"
A deafening sound of metal and stone colliding suddenly rang out, and the two long swords collided violently in the air, splashing sparks.
Seeing this, Liu Heiying's eyes flashed with determination.
The next moment, all his muscles tensed up, and the enormous power in his body was released without reservation.
He swung the long sword in his hand again, and with a whistling sound, he slashed out again!
The force was so great and the speed was so fast that the man was caught off guard. He staggered and lost his balance.
The long sword in his hand also made a whine under this violent impact.
A shocking gap appeared on the blade, obviously unable to withstand such a heavy blow.
Liu Heiying's eyes flickered, and he was unyielding.
He pushed the ground hard with his right foot. His huge but extremely flexible body rushed in front of the person in an instant!
The long sword drew a sharp arc, sweeping from left to right, determined to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop.
"when!"
There was another deafening roar.
This time the collision was even more violent, as if even the night sky was shaking.
The man's face changed drastically and he hurriedly resisted.
But he still couldn't withstand Liu Heiying's full-strength attack. He let out a cry of surprise and staggered again.
Finally, after two heavy footsteps, he fell to the ground with a bang.
Seeing this, Liu Heiying's eyes lit up and he was about to rush out.
But Lu Yunyi caught up and pulled him back:
"Be careful around the corner!"
Liu Heiying finally calmed down and pressed his body tightly against the wall. Only then did a trace of fear flash through his mind.
Staring at the slightly dim corner, he thought that if there were two crossbows set up there, he would not be able to escape even if he was a god.
He felt a little regretful, thinking that he could kill the enemy with just one more blow.
"My Lord! Back off!"
It was not until this time that more than a dozen personal guards rushed out from the wing room and protected Lu Yunyi and Liu Heiying tightly behind them!
They held bows and crossbows in their hands, the bowstrings had already been drawn taut, and the sharp cold light flashed all around.
At this moment, a slightly heavy voice with a few gasps came over:
"I am Shen Ben, the captain of Yuezhou's rear guard. Who is your colleague inside?!"
"Colleagues?"
A gleam of brilliance flashed in Lu Yunyi's eyes, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Liu Heiying had an indifferent expression. He clenched the long sword in his hand and stared at the shadow on the ground that was getting closer and closer under the moonlight.
Soon, a tall figure came out. He was seen holding the wrist of his opponent with one hand.
Just as he was about to show his head, Liu Heiying did not hesitate and swung the long knife in his hand.
In an instant, it was on the man's neck.
The man raised his hand quickly.
"What a misunderstanding. We are both in the same army. Which guard are you from?"
Shen Ben leaned his head forward and took a light sweep in the dim light. He suddenly felt his legs and feet go weak. How could there be a bow and crossbow?
At this time, more than ten soldiers rushed up from behind him. When they saw the bows and crossbows, they were stunned where they were.
"What are you doing here?"
The man was tall, about forty years old, with a dark complexion and a long flowing beard.
Liu Heiying's eyes turned cold, and the long knife in his hand had already wiped the man's beard!
"I am the captain of Yuezhou's rear guard!" Shen Ben emphasized, and looked at the long knife around his neck with a hint of fear.
Liu Heiying thrust his sword forward a little further and said in a cold voice:
"Answer honestly!"
After he finished speaking, the guards behind him raised their crossbows, as if they were aiming.
Shen Ben's face turned pale, and he felt severe pain in his wrist. He asked tentatively:
"Are you the adults who came down from the ship?"
Feeling the cold light on his neck, Shen Ben said quickly:
"I came here to pick someone up. I heard that Shopkeeper Hua was accompanying a guest today.
This is a rare event, so I came here specially to take a look. I just want to see who it is, I have no ill intentions. "
Liu Heiying stared at him and said coldly:
"Arrest him. He left the camp without permission while wearing armor and will be charged with treason."
As soon as he finished speaking, two bodyguards rushed up, kicked him to the ground, and handcuffed him with his hands behind his back.
"Sir!" The people led by Shen Ben exclaimed.
"Shoot those who disturb!"
Liu Heiying's voice was cold, and the guards behind him aimed their arrows at the dozen people without hesitation, with their fingers already on the trigger!
The atmosphere became increasingly solemn, with a hint of the solemnity unique to a battlefield!
Until this moment, Hua Jieyu finally arrived. Under the candlelight, her face had an unusual blush and her hair was a little messy. But compared to before, she looked like a bud blooming, full of charm and moving.
Seeing this scene, her face turned pale, especially the crossbow ready to fire and Shen Ben who was pinned to the ground.
She quickly spoke:
"Sir, there may be some misunderstanding. This is Captain Shen of Yuezhou Guards."
"Damn it, what a crap Lord Shen."
Before Liu Heiying could say anything, a curse came from behind.
Li Jinglong, who had just put on his lining, ran out in a hurry with a long sword in his hand. He looked around with a hint of murderous intent on his face.
Soon he saw Shen Ben kneeling on the ground and rushed over angrily.
Liu Ruyan's face popped out from the room behind him.
His hair was stuck to his forehead because of sweat, his breathing was a little rapid, and he looked like he was still unsatisfied.
Seeing this, Lu Yunyi, who had been silent all the time, understood something and couldn't help but be surprised at Li Jinglong's fighting ability.
Li Jinglong stepped forward and kicked Shen Ben to the ground, cursing:
"You came to the brothel in the middle of the night wearing armor, are you planning a rebellion?"
"Sir!" Shen Ben's personal guards cried out in surprise, but with bows and crossbows aimed at them, they dared not move and could only shout.
Lu Yunyi moved his eyes over and looked at the dozen guards, then looked at Shen Ben on the ground.
"He is a thousand households?"
Hua Jieyu gathered her clothes, pursed her lips, and smiled apologetically:
"Sir, he is indeed the captain of Yuezhou's rear guard.
Lord Shen came to the store for some business, and I think there may be some misunderstandings."
"On business? Wearing armor and coming to a brothel on business?"
Lu Yunyi narrowed his eyes and glanced sharply at Hua Jieyu's face.
Hua Jieyu couldn't help but breathe faster, looking a little embarrassed, and lowered her voice and said:
"Sir, the Yuezhou guards would take a few girls from Huajianji every month to relieve the worries and boredom of the military sirs.
Huajianji also gained some protection because of this, which could be regarded as mutual assistance.
As for the armor, it was just a certificate for traveling to and from Hezhou Port.
I just didn't expect that something would happen suddenly tonight.
Please forgive me, sir, for not telling anyone.
Otherwise, if Lord Shen suffers, I, Hua Jian Ji, will also suffer as well."
Hua Jieyu could see clearly that the person with the highest status in the group must be Li Jinglong, but the one who really made the decision was Lu Yunyi in front of her.
Lu Yunyi narrowed his eyes slightly, exuding a coldness. He ignored her pitiful appearance and continued to stand there quietly.
Hua Jieyu turned to look at Liu Heiying,
But Liu Heiying remained the same, his face calm and cold, without any of the sweetness just now, which made Hua Jieyu's eyes dim.
The people in the corridor just watched Li Jinglong punch and kick quietly.
After nearly half a quarter of an hour, Li Jinglong stopped panting, probably because he was tired.
Shen Ben, who was beaten, understood the situation at this moment, and his bruised face was full of bitterness.
A captain of the First Guard is a fifth-rank official. He introduced himself and acted so unscrupulously. He must be a dragon that came from the river from the military ship.
He knew he was in the wrong, so he knelt on one knee and spoke incoherently:
"I am a humble official who failed to recognize a great man. I beg you gentlemen to forgive me."
Li Jinglong paced back and forth with his hands on his hips, his forehead covered with a thin layer of sweat.
The anger in my heart had dissipated a little, and I began to think about the follow-up measures.
He looked at Lu Yunyi with a questioning look on his face.
Lu Yunyi glanced at Shen Ben, then looked at Hua Jieyu:
"It's better to have less trouble than more. Huajianji still has business to do."
Li Jinglong nodded and kicked again:
"Get out of here!"
"Thank you, sir."
Shen Ben was overjoyed. He quickly stood up and retreated quietly.
The personal guards did not put down the crossbow in their hands, but followed carefully to check for hidden dangers.
Lu Yunyi looked around and walked towards Guo Quan.
"Sir!" Guo Quan looked respectful, glanced at him, then quickly turned back and looked towards the end of the corridor.
Lu Yunyi's eyes flickered, and he lowered his voice to a very low level:
"Send two brothers to follow them and see where these people are coming from. Be careful and don't reveal your whereabouts."
Guo Quan's eyes were firm and he nodded: "Yes."
"We will transfer some soldiers from the ship to serve as secret guards, and let Chen Jingyi lead the team.
Tell him our itinerary for tomorrow. Let him decide how many people to bring and how to arrange it. Keep it secret."
A strange look flashed in Guo Quan's eyes, and he nodded heavily: "Yes"
"Go."
The scene became quiet, and the candles in the corridor were lit one by one.
The guards were holding bows and crossbows with alert expressions, Lu Yunyi and others were holding long swords, and several girls were in disheveled clothes. The scene was a bit weird.
Lu Yunyi glanced around, then came back and said to Hua Jieyu:
"Please rest assured, Shopkeeper Hua, today's chaos will not affect the business of Huajianji.
Black Hawk said he would protect you, so he will definitely protect you.
When we leave, we will inform the Yuezhou Guards and the governor of Shang to protect Huajianji."
Liu Heiying felt a little strange. How could the Jinyiwei spy who had been undercover for ten years still be protected by them?
But his face was serious, and he pulled Hua Jieyu over:
"Don't worry, your business will continue as usual, and your brothel will remain open. When we return, you can retire from the business."
Hua Jieyu rolled her eyes at him and a smile appeared on her face. The serious atmosphere finally eased a little.
Li Jinglong looked at his crotch without hesitation and cursed:
"Damn, I'm scared to death. I'm going to go see if it works."
Liu Ruyan's cheeks immediately turned red, she bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, and hurriedly followed
But when Li Jinglong walked to the door, he was suddenly stunned, looked around, and asked:
"Where is Zigongren?"
The atmosphere became solemn again!
At this time, the door of the wing slowly opened, and Xue Lingqing poked her head out, with an unnatural look on her face, and said softly:
"Young Master, Young Master is still resting."
After saying this, Xue Lingqing's fair cheeks turned slightly red, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Li Jinglong looked a little dazed. He scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and waved his hands repeatedly:
"Go back quickly. It's okay. Don't forget to call him tomorrow morning. We still have to go to Junshan Island."
Xue Lingqing breathed a sigh of relief, nodded respectfully, and retracted his head.
When Li Jinglong shut the door heavily,
Liu Heiying then looked at Hua Jieyu strangely and said in a low voice:
"The girl in your shop is quite capable. She made my brother fall into a coma."
The blush on Hua Jieyu's cheeks had not yet faded, and she gave Liu Heiying a rather charming look.
Liu Heiying's heart was beating wildly. He licked his lips and looked at Lu Yunyi:
"Brother Yun'er, I'm leaving first."
Lu Yunyi sighed, and seeing that they all looked like lustful ghosts, he nodded helplessly.
"Go ahead, I'll handle this."
"Let's go."
"Ah" Hua Jieyu let out a soft cry.
Liu Heiying grabbed her waist and legs tightly, picked her up, and walked into the room.
When everyone left, the smile on Lu Yunyi's face slowly disappeared.
He looked at Feng Qiwu who was waiting there, waved his hand, and signaled her to go back first.
Feng Qiwu stuck out her tongue and retracted her head.
Lu Yunyi did not return to the room, but paced back and forth in the corridor.
He pondered today's events carefully, his eye sockets deep and meaningful.
Until nearly an hour had passed.
The two guards returned and confirmed that those people had brought the girl back to the Qingyang rear guard camp. Lu Yunyi nodded and patted them on the shoulders:
"Thanks for your hard work."
After the guards left, Lu Yunyi's doubts dissipated a little.
After thinking it over, he sighed lightly, pinched his eyebrows, looked around, and then returned to the room.
The lights in the room were dim. Feng Qiwu was sitting beside the bed, wearing a robe that exposed her neck and snow-white shoulders.
Seeing Lu Yunyi coming back, she quickly stood up and greeted him.
"grown ups."
She still had some shock in her heart.
Even though she knew that these young men were either rich or noble, she was still shocked when the guards took out their crossbows.
And Captain Shen, who always showed off his might, was beaten so hard that he dared not make a sound. She could not imagine how noble the person in front of her was.
Lu Yunyi sat at the table, poured a cup of tea and sipped it gently, and asked casually:
"So Shen Ben comes every month?"
Feng Qiwu stood aside respectfully and nodded gently:
"Well, sometimes he comes twice a month, and every time he takes some sisters away. This time he suddenly mentioned it a few days ago."
"He covets your shopkeeper?"
Feng Qiwu pursed her lips and answered honestly:
"Sir, many of the officials in Yuezhou Prefecture have coveted the shopkeeper, and Captain Shen is one of them.
But please rest assured, sir, the shopkeeper doesn’t think highly of them.”
"Oh, I know." Lu Yunyi sneered, his eyes flickering:
"Since so many people are coveting your shopkeeper, is there no one who takes action to forcibly take her as a concubine?"
Feng Qiwu looked relieved and whispered:
"My dear, you may not know that the old shopkeeper was a juren in the third year of Hongwu.
Later, he failed to pass the imperial examination and became frustrated, so he opened this brothel and married the owner.
Later, the old shopkeeper died of depression and Huajianji was managed by the shopkeeper.
In recent years, some adults have coveted the shopkeeper's beauty.
But the old shopkeeper's teacher, Mr. Lin, is still alive. He was the chief of Yuezhou Road in the previous dynasty and had accumulated power for a long time.
Therefore, if the shopkeeper disobeys, some adults will not dare to act recklessly.
A few years ago, Mr. Zhang, the co-magistrate of Yuezhou Prefecture, wanted to force the shopkeeper to marry him, and he used some tricks.
Mr. Lin reported it to the governor, who was furious.
Not only did he imprison Mr. Zhang and remove him from office, but he also implicated many officials in Yuezhou Prefecture.
Since then, Huajianji has been much more stable. Although some people come to cause some minor trouble, it is still manageable. "
Feng Qiwu told everything in detail, and Lu Yunyi listened silently beside him.
If my guess is correct, then Mr. Lin should be the one protected by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the deceased old shopkeeper might also be a cover.
Lu Yunyi looked at Feng Qiwu, and a smile appeared on his cold face:
"My brother has a bright future ahead of him. It will be a good idea for you, the shopkeeper, to follow him."
Feng Qiwu's eyes flickered, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, and he nodded repeatedly:
"I can see that the young masters are all important people.
Although Mr. Liu is a stout man, he is thoughtful and humorous. The shopkeeper must like him very much. "
As he spoke, Feng Qiwu sighed softly:
"Actually, I can feel that the shopkeeper is very tired and is paying less and less attention to the business of Huajianji.
Now that I can commit myself to Master Liu, it is also a good place to go. "
After hearing this, Lu Yunyi blinked his eyes and understood.
It’s not that Hua Jieyu doesn’t want to open a brothel, it’s that she doesn’t want to be a Jinyiwei anymore.
Lu Yunyi smiled and said, "Aren't you curious about our identities?"
Feng Qiwu pursed her lips, half-knelt down, and whispered:
"The shopkeeper has already said that the adults are just here to have fun, so we shouldn't expect anything more than that. One night of fun is enough."
"It's clear."
Lu Yunyi chuckled and touched her head:
"Okay, rest early. We have to go to Junshan Island tomorrow. You guys can come with us."
Feng Qiwu's expression suddenly became more cheerful. He slowly raised his head and smiled, his face getting redder and redder.
"Thank you, sir. I will wait for you to rest."
"Creak, creak, creak."
