Jun Jiuling

Is it the breath of the ranks?

Lei Zhonglian clenched the spear in his hand.

Looking at the people pouring out from all directions, some on horseback and some running, they looked chaotic.

The clothes these people wore were messy and different, and they were described as ferocious, and they held different weapons of knives, guns, swords and halberds.

"Keep the money to buy the road, keep the money to buy the road."

They screamed strangely and waved the weapons in their hands.

"Master Fang, these people don't look right." Lei Zhonglian said.

Although his father passed away suddenly, Uncle Fang was not frightened by the scene because he followed his father all over the world since he was a child. His expression remained calm even though he was surrounded.

"What's wrong? There are a lot of bandits in this area." He said, "But it's okay, they are asking for money, we are asking for the way, and each is safe."

After hearing Uncle Fang's words, the person in charge stepped forward to deal with the bandits.

Lei Zhonglian also asked the bodyguards to protect themselves.

"If something goes wrong, we will never fight hard. We only want to save our lives, and we will not fight for our spirit or money." He ordered.

The bodyguards all nodded, and the younger juniors even laughed.

"Brother Hualien, don't everyone know about this, and you specifically told me to do so," they said.

Repeating exhortations for things that do not need to be exhorted means that the person is nervous and uneasy about this matter.

Lei Zhonglian looked at the looming bandits all around with a heavy expression.

"I don't think these people look right," he said.

The bodyguards also looked over, somewhat puzzled.

"These bandits have been entrenched here for many years, and it's nothing unusual. Sometimes there are more and sometimes there are fewer. The past few years have not been good, and more people have fallen into bandits." Someone said, "But they are just looking for money, and there is nothing wrong with it." Desperate."

"They are desperate, and we are not afraid." Some people laughed, "Many of these people can't even hold a knife steadily."

In the past, the bandits just relied on the large number of people, and there were not many skilled ones, so if they really wanted to fight, if they did not have an absolute advantage in numbers, the bodyguards would not necessarily suffer.

It stands to reason so, but this time he always felt a little weird looking at these people.

Their voices and yelling movements seemed messy, but they always felt that there was a strange sense of order.

And at this moment, the person who was going to negotiate over there let out a scream and fell off his horse.

"Grab the meat ticket, it's a fat ticket!"

Then came the cry.

The scene was suddenly chaotic.

"****, these people have a big appetite, and they are not afraid of being overwhelmed." The bodyguards shouted, setting up their battle formations one after another.

At the same time as they moved, the bandits over there also rushed in like a tide, shouting loudly.

"kill."

"kill."

"kill."

This word rushed into Lei Zhonglian's ears, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Know what's wrong.

Their voices are so neat, even if they are chaotic, they are pretending to be chaotic, and they quickly gather together in a neat and orderly manner like an overwhelming mountain.

And they shouted to kill.

If it is a bandit who yells at most to go up or yells meaninglessly, there is only one scene where he yells the word "kill" and charges.

That is on the battlefield, that is the generals.

Lei Zhonglian once joined the army, and even went to the north to follow Cheng Guogong, but because her parents were old, she had to give up halfway in order to fulfill her filial piety.

He has been on the battlefield, and he has fought the enemy and practiced with his comrades. Although the time is short, the feeling is deeply rooted in his bones.

These people, these people are not bandits!

"Retreat quickly, don't fight, don't set up a battle formation, and retreat quickly to protect Uncle Fang." Lei Zhonglian shouted.

But it's still too late.

"So those people are not bandits, but well-trained soldiers?"

A female voice rang softly in his ears, and at the same time a bowl of hot tea was handed over.

Lei Zhonglian's tense body relaxed slightly, and she took the hot tea to warm her cold hands.

"Yes." He said in a shy voice, "The government later caught those bandits, and they also admitted that they did it. There are all witnesses and material evidence, but I can be sure that those bandits are not bandits."

"The evidence is just your feeling at the time?" Miss Jun asked.

Just like when they saw the woodcutter, the first thing they felt was that the hairs stood on end.

Because they have all seen officers and soldiers, especially those who have seen blood on the battlefield.

But this can only be a feeling, just like the instinct of animals in the face of danger, which can only be understood but not expressed in words.

Lei Zhonglian lowered her head with a sad and indignant expression.

"Yes, no one believes me." He said shakily.

Everyone thought he was trying to shirk responsibility.

Because he repeatedly yelled that it was officers and soldiers, that he had planned it for a long time, and that he was wronged by this tragedy, not to mention that he was incompetent.

It is better for bodyguards not to beat the officers and soldiers than to be wiped out by a group of bandits.

Miss Jun didn't speak.

Fang Chengyu, who had been listening quietly all this time, suddenly spoke.

"What did my mother and grandmother say?" he asked.

"The eldest lady couldn't stand the excitement at that time..." Lei Zhonglian said, "The old lady said."

As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at Fang Chengyu.

"She said I was lying, she said it was impossible," he said.

Why is it impossible.

He refused to accept it, so he didn't leave, but stayed in Deshengchang, wondering why.

Miss Jun looked at Fang Chengyu, and Fang Chengyu was also looking at her.

Miss Jun smiled and did not speak.

"I have read the records at that time, and I have also read the case file of the government's investigation of this matter at that time." Fang Chengyu looked at Lei Zhonglian and said gently, "There is indeed no sign of the officers and soldiers participating as you mentioned, and there are no signs of involvement around Yangcheng." The garrison, if they were transferred from other places, there would be no trace of so many people."

Lei Zhonglian looked at him with some surprise in his eyes.

This young master actually knew what happened back then, and even read the case file.

Did he also have doubts about his father's death? Otherwise, why go to the case file? Everyone knew that he was robbed and killed by bandits.

"I'm a patient, and I have nothing else to do, just read books and think about things." Fang Chengyu saw his thoughts and said with a smile, "And at that time, Cheng Guogong was already stationed in Beidi, and the officers and soldiers of Beisan Road They are all under his command, if you don’t believe the investigation by the government here, if you don’t believe that my grandmother and wife are ignorant, you should believe that Duke Cheng is strict in governing the army, right?”

Yes, who can easily mobilize Cheng Guogong's soldiers without leaving a trace.

"That's why my grandmother said it was impossible." Fang Chengyu said softly.

Lei Zhonglian looked sad.

Yes, logically speaking, it's impossible, but he really can't make a mistake, so why?

It was really like what others said, he was scared out of courage and had hallucinations, unable to face the deaths of so many senior brothers, so he looked for excuses to comfort himself.

"But Uncle Lei is right about one thing." Fang Chengyu said.

Lei Zhonglian suddenly raised her head and looked at him.

"My father's murder must have been premeditated." Fang Chengyu said, "Uncle Lei, you are also someone our Fang family can trust, so you are the only one who escorts me this time."

believe?

The Fang family believed him?

Lei Zhonglian's eyes sparkled.

"Master." He called tremblingly.

Fang Chengyu nodded with a smile.

"Then let's go on our way now." He said, "In order not to be discovered, we will hide in vain."

It turned out that the young master was not abandoned by the Fang family, but to protect him.

Lei Zhonglian looked at Fang Chengyu with a dazed expression.

"Master, you, could it be that your illness was also caused by others..." he asked.

Fang Chengyu nodded.

So that's the reason, that's why he left Yangcheng so suddenly and went to Runan so far away without anyone noticing.

Lei Zhonglian felt a little indescribable.

"Unexpectedly, the old lady and the eldest lady turned out to be..." he murmured.

It turned out that they had always believed in him.

That's not necessarily true. Fang Chengyu glanced at Miss Jun, and it was she who believed him.

Miss Jun smiled.

"But now I have to trouble you to help me into the car too. You have to take care of the two of us who are handicapped. This is something that no one thought of." She said.

Lei Zhonglian couldn't help laughing.

At such a time, knowing the deep hatred that both his father and himself were killed, he can still be so calm and indifferent.

It made him feel ridiculous to be so self-pitying before.

"Okay." He said, "Master and Mistress, let's hurry so that those bad guys can't find us."

……………………………………………….

There was a crisp sound.

Shopkeeper Song smashed the pink porcelain teacup on the table on the ground, looking annoyed.

"A bunch of trash, how could they not be found for so long?"
