Chapter 17 Shen Luo protects the calf

Lu Xiang yelled: "Don't talk nonsense."

After roaring, Lu Xiang recovered and said calmly: "Shen Luo, so what if there are people in the world helping you? So what if you are an official of the imperial court? You can't see the sun tomorrow."

Lu Xiang struggled to get up, looked at the foggy sky and the two lanterns floating outside the inn, and said with a smile: "You have made such a big noise tonight, you can't escape."

"Hahaha" Lu Xiang laughed wildly, dragging his broken right arm, and said loudly: "There are two red lanterns hanging outside the inn. As long as they don't go out on time at night, my people will know that something is wrong here."

"Now that all those gangsters are gone, there is no one around you. How can you escape on your own?"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a hundred men in black appeared outside the room and surrounded the inn. The leading dozen rushed into the inn to protect Lu Xiang behind them.

When Xie Yunsheng saw a dozen men in black appearing in front of Shen Luo, he pushed Zhang Liao away and walked downstairs to Shen Luo's side. Zhang Liao had no time to stop him.

Shen Luo looked at Xie Yunsheng who suddenly stood next to him and said, "Who asked you to come down? Didn't I ask you to stay up there well?"

Xie Yunsheng said: "If they attack you, how can they let me know the truth?"

"I never run away when encountering trouble. Even if I encounter a strong enemy, I will fight to the death instead of just waiting for death." Xie Yunsheng walked to Shen Luo and said loudly: "Don't even think about pushing me away. This Don’t even think about it in your life!”

Is this person born in the Year of the Ox? Why is he so tough-tempered?

Shen Luo had never seen such a stubborn person. He was helpless for a moment. He took a deep breath and looked at Lu Xiang: "Just because of these men in black, you want to kill me?"

She walked forward and said: "Do you think that just because I am a bounty hunter chasing those fugitives, I can get His Majesty to issue seven imperial edicts to dig out a government office for me, build a North Town government department, and let me serve as the first Situ?" Job?"

Shen Luo looked at the man in black, untied his baggage with one hand and took out his long sword, and looked at the person in front of him: "I assist the local garrison in suppressing bandits, and I am best at team battles."

When the man in black saw the unsheathed sword in Shen Luo's hand, he felt a little fear in his heart and looked at the people beside him, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

"What are Du Leng doing here?" Lu Xiang kicked the man in black and yelled, "Come on!"

"Kill!" The man in black was kicked and rushed towards Shen Luo with murderous intent.

"Whoosh..." A long arrow flew from nowhere behind and pierced the heart and lungs of the man in black.

"Lord Situ, the end is too late!" Not far away, a black-faced general wearing armor and a battle robe was riding on a horse. He lowered his long bow and announced loudly.

"Heh..." A deep voice resounded throughout the inn, and countless soldiers holding spears surrounded the inn behind them.

Lu Xiang and the man in black had never seen such a battle before, and their hands trembled with fear.

The black-faced general reined in the reins and made way for the general behind him: "General Xu, please."

"General Zhou, please." Xu Xiao dismounted, followed by the black-faced general Zhou Ling.

The two of them looked at Xie Yunsheng next to Shen Luo, and their pupils instantly dilated: His Royal Highness.

Zhang Liao waved his hand wildly to stop the two generals from saluting, and said tactfully: "See you two generals."

Xie Yunsheng stood beside Shen Luo, silent, as if he didn't recognize the two of them.

The two people understood each other immediately and came to Shen Luo one after another: "See Mr. Shen!"

"General Zhou." Shen Luo returned the greeting politely, then looked at Xu Xiao and asked: "How come General Xu came to Licheng with General Zhou when he was stationed in Yecheng?"

Zhou Ling received his order and brought 300 cavalry to encircle and suppress this inn. Why did Xu Xiao come too?

Xu Xiao was the son of the Crown Prince Xu Da, and he was ordered to garrison Yecheng. How could he go with Zhou Ling?

Xu Xiao immediately explained: "While hunting in autumn, I happened to pass by General Zhou's camp and saw Lord Shen borrowing troops from General Zhou. I followed him on impulse."

"Please don't blame the general for being reckless." Xu Xiao saluted again with clear eyes and quick hands.

Last night, he suddenly received a message from His Royal Highness Prince Fei Ge, asking him to lead a thousand elite soldiers to Zhou Ling's Yecheng camp overnight.

As soon as he arrived, Master Situ's secret order arrived. He clearly understood the reason why the prince asked him to go to the Yecheng camp without any hesitation and followed him with a thousand elite soldiers.

But he didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would actually be with Shen Situ.

Could it be that His Highness is interested in Shen Situ...!?

"Shen Luo, you are such a despicable villain that you can't defeat us, but you are sending troops into the city?" Lu Xiang looked at Shen Luo and asked, "Do you know that sending troops into the city without permission is a capital offense?"

Shen Luo looked at Lu Xiang and explained: "I am the Situ of Beizhen Prefecture. Your Majesty has authorized me to command a group of troops to help me handle the case. There is no such thing as transferring troops privately."

"I am not mistaken, you are not an ordinary person." Shen Luo smiled and asked, "How can an ordinary shopkeeper be so familiar with the laws of the Jiang Kingdom?"

"Tell me, who are you?" Shen Luo's expression suddenly changed and she asked coldly.

"Where did the generals come from who dared to mobilize troops into the city privately?" A deep voice suddenly came from outside the door, and two middle-aged men in official attire broke in.

Zhang Kang struggled to step out of the room and happened to see such a scene. He couldn't help but exclaimed: What happened? Why is it like a hodgepodge with so many people coming?

Shen Luo was wearing a bright red official robe, tied around his waist was a jade belt given by His Majesty himself, and hung around his waist was a crimson silver fish bag that could only be hung by a third-rank official. The two of them immediately guessed the identity of the person in front of them, and immediately Kneel down: "I'm going to see Lord Situ."

Shen Luo looked at the two of them quietly, and then said: "Get up!"

The two people immediately thanked: "Thank you, sir."

"I wonder when your Excellency arrived in Licheng, why didn't you send someone to inform him, so that the lower officials can fulfill their friendship as landlords?" Jiang Guangwen, the governor, replied flatteringly.

"Yes, sir." Magistrate Yang Zhaoxi agreed softly.

"I was just passing by, and I didn't expect to end up in a black shop. This black shop is doing business on the surface and human trafficking behind the scenes." Shen Luo looked at the two people in front of him and said, "As an official of the imperial court, you don't have any How can I be qualified to be an official if I don't even notice it?"

"I know my mistake." The two men knelt down again to apologize.

Shen Luo looked at the two people and asked, "This inn is only a few miles away from the government, and they are hiding under your noses. Tell me, who of you two is the person behind this inn?"

Yang Zhaoxi and Jiang Guangwen raised their eyes and looked at Shen Luo in surprise: "What do you mean by this, sir? How can we, as imperial officials, collude with thieves?"

Shen Luo looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Because you have the same hatred in your hearts!"

She sat down slowly and then said: "I noticed something strange yesterday and ordered someone to investigate the past of the innkeeper."
