Nightwatcher

"These big soldiers in Yunzhou dare to rebel?"

That Yin Luo immediately raised his eyebrows and shouted, "What's the situation outside the city?"

The soldiers hurried over with whips, their lips were bruised and cracked by the cold wind, their mouths were parched, and they opened their mouths to make a hoarse and unpleasant voice: "The gate of the southern city has been closed."

"Don't worry, just take a breath!"

Hearing the sound, Xu Qi'an went downstairs and poured a glass of cold water for the soldiers.

The soldier hurriedly took it, drank tons and tons, and felt that his throat was much more comfortable. He glanced at Xu Qi'an gratefully, and spoke quickly:

"The guards assembled three thousand troops, and just outside the south city gate, Xu Huchen, the commander of the guards, threatened that within half an hour, if the governor does not release the commanders and give them an explanation, they will enter the city!"

Remonstrance!

Xu Qi'an, who is familiar with history, first flashed this word in his mind. The so-called military remonstrance refers to using force to persuade the monarch or elders to obey.

In short, it is to force you to submit with your fist.

The difference between a military remonstrance and a coup is that the purpose is different, but the behavior is the same. Xu Qi'an's most impressive two remonstrances were the death of Maweipo's Yang Yuhuan, and the young commander took out a small pistol and slapped Lao Jiang.

These two remonstrances were successful, one changed the future of Datang, and the other changed the future of China.

However, military remonstrance is a deadly remonstrance, and no one will use it unless it is a last resort.

"I'm so daring!"

The few silver gongs who rushed over to check asked about the situation, and immediately became angry.

This kind of thing can't be encountered in the capital. When they first heard the news, their surprise and anger were beyond words.

"Your Excellency, the governor is going to command the envoys. It is impossible to rush to Nancheng within half an hour." A silver gong pressed the handle of the knife and said in a deep voice:

"How many people are there in the city defense army in Nancheng?"

"Less than a thousand people." The soldier replied.

I'm afraid I can't keep it

"In this way, a few of us will lead the Huben Guards to Nancheng, and if those big soldiers dare to rebel, we will kill them. I believe we can drag the governor and reinforcements over." A silver gong suggested.

A few belligerent watchmen were eager to try.

Huben Wei is a fierce soldier who has experienced many battles, coupled with the fighters who have been trained in Qi, and with the words of the city defense army, not to mention that they are safe, it is not difficult to defend for a period of time.

"Then what about Yang Chuannan? He is a criminal of the imperial court, we cannot ignore him." Xu Qi'an reminded these hot-headed watchmen.

"Take him with you," said a gong.

"Do you believe that the guards' soldiers fought us on the spot?" Xu Qi'an raised his eyebrows.

"Isn't that the purpose of their attack when they came to the city?" The Tongluo snorted coldly:

"Thinking that force can force the Lord Governor to make us submit? Just let these soldiers and barbarians in Yunzhou know what it means to beat people."

This is what annoys people the most.

They have always been the only ones who supervise officials and punish corrupt officials. When did someone dare to bully them at the door? He also threatened to let the governor go out to meet him within half an hour, otherwise he would rush into the city.

This is completely ignoring the watchmen and stepping on their faces.

An official can bear it, but a warrior can't bear it.

Warlocks can bear it, but warriors can't bear it.

fuck it.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Xu Qi'an quickly knocked on the table and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, calm down, force cannot solve the problem."

The Yinluo who first met the soldiers had the most irritable temper. Looking at Xu Qian, he burst out with a foul language: "Anyway, I can't bear it. Jiang Jinluo is not here. Yinluo has the final say here. Brothers, come with me, and take Yang Chuannan with you." .”

Li Miaozhen stood aside, watching with cold eyes.

boom!

Xu Qi'an stood up amidst the loud sound of slapping the table.

A group of watchmen who were about to leave the station came back in astonishment.

Xu Qi'an pointed at the nose of that Yin Luo, and cursed: "I don't care if you are Yin Luo, how can you suppress me with your position? Go and ask the surname Zhu, if you can suppress me!

"You have intensified the conflict. What do you ask the governor to do? Kill the three thousand soldiers of the guard? Take a step back and say, if you can't hold it, the war spreads to ordinary people in the city. Are you responsible? Can you take responsibility? ?”

That silver gong stuck his neck, blowing his beard and staring: "Xu Qi'an, why do you think you can take responsibility?"

"At least I can carry more on my shoulders than you!" Xu Qi'an shouted.

For a while, no one refuted.

The blatant nonsense of a gong made all the watchmen in the room silent. The female ghost Susu looked at this scene in amazement, and she found it hard to understand.

"All of you stay here and guard Yang Chuannan. He is a felon of the imperial court and cannot make any mistakes. Leave the defenders of the outer city to me to delay." Seeing that no one continued to argue, Xu Qi'an revealed his plan.

"you?"

Everyone looked suspicious.

Xu Qi'an squeezed the space between his eyebrows, and explained clearly: "The guard's army is approaching the city, and its purpose is not to attack the city, but to ask the governor to release Yang Chuannan. There is room for maneuver.

"You rushed over in a hurry and brought Yang Chuannan with you. This is no different from provocation. Instead, it intensified the conflict and left no way out for both sides.

"Of course, I'm sure I can't persuade the guards' soldiers, but General Li can."

Xu Qi'an pushed Li Miaozhen out, and said with a smile: "I think General Li doesn't want everyone to be so stiff, so that Yang Chuannan has no way out."

As for asking Yang Chuannan to go there in person, he hadn't thought about it, since the surname Yang might not cooperate. Second, what should I do if I was rescued directly?

Li Miaozhen seemed to be waiting for this result, let out a breath slowly, no longer looked on coldly, nodded and said: "I will do my best to last until the governor arrives."

Li Miaozhen and Xu Qi'an led two fast horses and rushed towards the south gate, the paper figurine Susu hugged Li Miaozhen's small waist and sat behind.

"You little Tonggong is quite capable!" Susu tilted her head and looked at Xu Qi'an who was walking side by side.

"It's not that I'm capable, it's mainly because" Xu Qi'an coughed and said in a secretive tone, "Actually Governor Zhang and I are half-brothers."

Susu grasped the key point at once: "Ah, you are Governor Zhang's brother?"

"Otherwise, how can I have such a big right to speak?"

"So that's how it is." Susu suddenly realized that she knew a big secret.

The corner of Li Miaozhen's mouth twitched, and she really wanted to remind her maid that Xu Qi'an couldn't believe even a single punctuation mark.

The reason why he has such a big right to speak is because he has won Wei Yuan's trust and appreciation, and he has an unusual status in the yamen.

But this information comes from within the Tiandihui. What does the information No. 2 knows have anything to do with Li Miaozhen?

After arriving at the south city gate and showing their badges, the two climbed up to the top of the city, and Qianhu from the city defense army personally received them.

"Master Governor, why haven't you come yet?"

Holding a saber, the burly Qianhu with a Chinese character face and triangular eyes looked at the empty street, unable to hide his disappointment.

"The governor is in the capital commanding the envoy to investigate the case, and he can't make it for the time being. General Ranger and I will delay the time first." Xu Qi'an explained.

He stood at the top of the city and looked down. There were two phalanxes outside the city. The larger one was the army of the guards. The cavalry was in front, the infantry was behind, and the artillery army was in the middle.

The flags were flying, and three thousand soldiers and horses looked at the city, silently. An indescribable ferocious air rushed towards his face.

Xu Qi'an is now in the half-step of cultivating the gods, but facing this army that has experienced many battles, the thought in his heart is still to avoid it, not daring to face it head-on.

What kind of martial artist who has traveled three thousand miles in one body and has been a master of millions with one sword can accomplish such a feat?

He thought with emotion.

"Yunzhou's army is extremely fierce. They make trouble whenever they want, and they are not afraid of death at all." Li Miaozhen held a silver gun and looked down side by side with him:

"I came to the post station last night because I was afraid that the governor would go too far and push the matter to an irreversible situation."

Xu Qi'an nodded, the banditry in Yunzhou was in full swing, it's no wonder he wasn't fierce as a soldier in Yunzhou. Soldiers who have fought all the year round are full of evil spirits. They usually only recognize the leaders who fight side by side with them, and it is difficult for outsiders to control them.

They don't spare their lives like the soldiers in the safe place.

"The little square over there is that army?" Xu Qi'an asked.

The soldiers approaching the city are the commander of the guards under the jurisdiction of Baidi City, also known as the guards. The next level is the institute, the small square next to it, looking at about four or five hundred people, Xu Qi'an guessed that it was a "society" at the county level.

Li Miaozhen was a little embarrassed: "It's my Feiyan Army."

Ning is also a twenty-five boy? Xu Qi'an looked at her eyes, full of distrust.

Li Miaozhen explained: "I did think about using the army to exert pressure. This is a rotten problem raised in the Yunzhou army."

She dumped the blame on the Yunzhou army.

"Then what should we do now, go out of the city?" Xu Qi'an tentatively asked.

"En." Li Miaozhen nodded.

"Can I not go?"

"The governor you represent," Li Miaozhen gave him a sideways glance, "Commander Xu Huchen is short-tempered and self-willed. Since you want to resolve the conflict, you must be patient."

"You don't even care about face?"

Li Miaozhen let out a "huh": "If I don't accompany you, he will cut off your gong."

"Hey, being a soldier is really unreasonable."

The city gate opened with a creak, and Qianhu of the city defense army sent the two of them out of the city, waving: "Take care."

Xu Qi'an looked back from his horseback: "Master Qianhu, why don't you go with us?"

Qianhu said: "It's very windy here, what did your lord say? I can't hear you clearly, my lord said to close the city gate? Okay, even if you kill me, you won't open the city gate."

The city gate slowly closed.

"" Xu Qi said reassuringly, Gan.

Li Miaozhen didn't go straight to Wei Si, but turned his horse's head and went to his Feiyan army, called for dozens of cavalry to lead the formation, and finally met Wei Si's 3,000 soldiers and horses.

"My Feiyan army has the lowest level of refinement. There are a total of 437 people. The corporal leader is at the peak of refinement, the leader is at the Qi training level, and the hundred households are at the copper skin and iron bone level."

Li Miaozhen's voice was sweet and crisp, and she introduced her private army to Xu Qi'an with a little complacency.

Four at the sixth-grade level, and forty at the Qi training level. My mother, isn't this woman too scary?

Xu Qi'an swallowed, "There is no such army in Yunzhou."

Li Miaozhen said "hmm" and said reservedly: "Everyone followed me to Yunzhou because of my face."

How big is your face? Xu Qi'an turned his head and looked at the high ponytail American girl with a silver gun on a horse, and had to re-evaluate her strength.

Xu Qi'an's intuitive impression of her is the Tianzong saint, followed by the Feiyan heroine. But now it seems that the title of "Flying Swallow Woman Xia" has to be at the top.

Li Miaozhen's connections in Jianghu may be deeper and unfathomable than he imagined.

Everyone in the Tiandihui is talented, I need to work harder as a little gong Well, first set a small goal and become Wei Yuan's son

"Then what is Xu Huchen's cultivation?" Xu Qi'an asked suddenly.

"Peak of refining the gods." Li Miaozhen replied.

"The cultivation level is not high." Xu Qi'an said in surprise.

"Wei Yuan is still an ordinary person, it's different to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies." Li Miaozhen shook his head and said, "Marching and fighting is not about being brave and ruthless. A high-level warrior can be as good as a hundred or a thousand. But it may not be able to command an army of a thousand people. .

"My ability, 500 people is already the limit. But Xu Huchen can command an army of 3,000 to 5,000 people. In a direct confrontation on the battlefield, I will definitely lose."

Violence is aesthetics, war is art, two completely different concepts.

Li Miaozhen stopped at a distance of five zhang from the guards' army, and said loudly: "Commander Xu, come and talk."

As soon as one rides out, the leading general is eight feet tall, the mount under his crotch is taller than ordinary horses, and he holds a long lance in his hand.

Those who dare to use long spears are all brave and titanic.

Xu Huchen was holding a long lance, his eyes were sharp, his dark blue jaw had just been scratched, and he nodded slightly towards Li Miaozhen:

"General Li also rescued Lord Commander with us?"

Li Miaozhen shook her head: "Master Yang is fine, General Xu is too impulsive. Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

"The big deal is death."

Xu Huchen was very single, grinning and said: "I was ordered to save my life. If the court wants to punish him, I will risk my life."

Xu Qi'an asked suddenly: "How did you know this news?"

Xu Huchen squinted at Xu Qi'an, and said with a sneer, "So it's the eagle claw under Wei Eunuch's hand."

It's too much for you to say that I'm fine, and that my father is too much. Xu Qi'an flicked his thumb, and the black gold long knife on his back was unsheathed half an inch, and said in a deep voice:

"General Xu, don't challenge the majesty of the imperial court. I have come here with sincerity. If you don't know how to praise, you have already been killed just now."

Li Miaozhen has said so much, but what she actually revealed is one meaning: Don't reason with soldiers.

Reasoning is what scholars do. Soldiers only talk about fists. Only when your fists are hard can you have dignity.

Xu Qi'an's idea is to show his force first, win respect, and deter this group of guys who are not afraid of death. Then be reasonable.

Xu Huchen was polite to Li Miaozhen, and directly sneered at him, which is a manifestation of lack of dignity.

But killing people directly is definitely not an option, as that would intensify the conflict.

"Da da da"

He turned the horse's head and went to the other side in silence.

Xu Huchen, Li Miaozhen, and dozens of cavalry from the Feiyan Army followed him.

"Hmph! I want to see the governor, is he worthy of talking to me with a gong?" Xu Huchen sneered disdainfully, "A boy who doesn't even have hair, thinks this is the capital, and everyone is afraid to beat him up?

"General Li, what happened to the Commander-in-Chief?"

Li Miaozhen shook her head, just looking at Xu Qi'an's back.

Xu Huchen was a little irritable. He was irritable and irritable. He avoided seeing the governor and sent a gong to deal with him. He was already extremely dissatisfied.

He even couldn't hold back the urge to kill Tonggong and demonstrate to the governor.

For the sake of Ranger General Li Miaozhen, he was willing to come and talk.

At this moment, the gong stopped, and turned to look at Xu Huchen with a sneer.

Then, with a flick of his left thumb, he pushed out the saber half an inch, and held the handle with his right hand.

"Clang!"

The ear-piercing sound of unsheathing echoed in the air. In the eyes of Xu Huchen and the others, and in the eyes of the thousands of troops, the air was distorted, as if something had passed by.

The next moment, amidst the muffled sound, a thin crack opened in the ground, extending from Xu Qi'an's feet to the front of the army, more than ten feet in length.

The cavalry in the front row became agitated, and the horses seemed to be frightened.

Xu Huchen's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it, he could really kill me just now.

This incomparably tough general, who led the army to fight, felt a trace of awe in his heart, agreeing with Xu Qi'an's sincerity.

Li Miaozhen stared at Xu Qi'an in surprise, a big question mark flashed in his mind.

Judging by the eyes of her Tianzong saintess, this blade is as sharp as thunder, and even a warrior who has just entered the sixth-grade copper skin and iron bone realm cannot resist it with his body.

Is this something a martial artist in the Qi training realm can cut out?

Immediately afterwards, she remembered what Number One had said, that Xu Qi'an once beheaded a silver gong, and that silver gong was a master in refining the gods.

At that time, he was able to leapfrog to kill people, but now, he is half-step in cultivating gods.

If it is a genius, Daoist Jin Lian did not invite him to join the club, but chose his cousin, that cousin is so terrifying.

"Ohhh."

Behind them, the masters of the Feiyan Army gasped in amazement.

"Da da da"

Xiao Tongluo returned on horseback, supported his tired body, and said indifferently: "General Xu, my officer Xu Qi'an, on behalf of the governor, came to discuss with you."

"" Xu Huchen said in a deep voice, "Please speak, my lord."
