"Zheng Hui is one of the plotters around Cai Ying. He is tolerant in nature. Cai Ying is in charge of military affairs in Jingyuan and other places. Zheng Hui is responsible for planning many military operations. Since he believes that the veterans of Jingsheng Army are involved in the matter, he must have understood the situation you mentioned,"

Lu Xiong still has a certain understanding of Zheng Hui, and said,

"From Xu Wufu's unusual reaction, he should have received some news, but there are fakes in these news - with Zheng Hui's ability, and the officials of the prefectures and counties are very afraid of Cai's thieves. If he intends to release half-true and half-false news to Xu Wufu, of course, it will make Xu Wufu believe that the whole thing would sacrifice Xu Wujiang and would not hurt the entire Xu family!"

Of course, Xu Wufu could not be willing to hurt the Xu family's roots, but the problem is that Zheng Hui came on behalf of Cai Feng. He could call too many resources, so he could play Xu Wufu all the way.

Xu Huai closed his eyes with headache, and the veins on the back of his hand that grabbed the scabbard rose.

Lu Xiong is right, behind Zheng Hui and other assassins is Cai Ying.

In the entire Tangzhou officialdom, it is not difficult for anyone with a little thought to guess what happened to Wang Bing encountering bandits in Huaiyuan more than a month ago.

Deng Gui is a typical representative of what attitudes and choices these people will have.

They were unwilling to take responsibility, but they were forced by Cai Ying's power to try their best to cooperate with the assassin.

Xu Huai had no doubt that there were even some officials in the prefecture and county yamen, who were the direct descendants promoted by Cai Ying and directly followed Zheng Hui's orders.

In this case, they were just playing tricks, stretching their heads out and letting them cut them off!

To put it bluntly, the strength of both sides from beginning to end is absolutely unbalanced.

If the memories that had existed in his mind really came from later generations, then Wang Bing would have died in Tongbai Mountain. Without struggle, it would be normal to die without struggle.

Although he accidentally disturbed the situation, the general trend formed by the absolute balance of power did not reverse.

Lu Xiong was also unable to stand there.

Wang Bing has never wanted to involve irrelevant people. He had thought that Wang Bing was too kind. Now it seems that Wang Bing had long expected this situation, and too many people involved were all struggling unnecessary.

The civil and military officials of the Dayue Dynasty were not incompetent. Most of them were smart people, and they were just too smart. They all knew the best of their self-protection.

Xu Huaimuran opened his eyes and said to Lu Xiong: "Master Lu, follow me to see Uncle Seventeen."

Before, he thought there was room for maneuver, so he hid many things from Xu Wujiang, Xu Xin'an and others.

Now Xu Wujiang really wants to lead a team to Qingxi Village without any defense. He may be eaten mercilessly by the bandits ten times theirs at any time. How could Xu Huai dare to continue to hide many facts at this time?

…………

…………

Xu Huai and Lu Xiong left Liu Shulin. Before they could reach the residence, they met Xu Wujiang and Xu Xin'an who were coming from the barracks halfway.

"Uncle Seventeen, Master Lu has something to tell you, let's go to the pond!" Xu Huai said with a lantern.

Lu Xiong was a person around Wang Bing. If he had something to say, Xu Wujiang naturally was inconvenient to refuse. The four of them carried two lanterns to the willow forest on the west side of the pond.

After nightfall, the military camp was always silent.

"Uncle Seventeen should have guessed that the horse thief that Mr. Wang first came to Huaiyuan and met in front of Yingzizui Cliff was actually an assassin. The recent abnormal movements in Hutou Village were also caused by the assassin behind the scenes, but Uncle Seventeen might not be able to guess why Deng Gui was targeting you, right?" Xu Huai hung a lantern on a willow tree. He knew the details of many things and said directly to Xu Wujiang.

"You stupid guy, are you a ghost?" Xu Xin'an was shocked when he saw that Xu Huai was so serious that he was unprecedented and stared at him, wondering if he was a ghost.

"Xu Xin'an, draw out the knife!" Xu Huai pulled out the knife and signaled Xu Xin'an to pull out the knife as well.

It's too troublesome to explain, and it may not be possible to call Xu Wujiang immediately. Xu Xin'an believes that, so it's better to call Xu Xin'an directly to learn a few tricks.

"I'll help you change the bow back, stop making trouble!" Xu Xin'an took off the longbow wrapped in linen behind him.

Xu Huai swung his sword in front of him. When the long sword first came out, it slowly stopped, but after halfway through, the sword suddenly fell sharply, like a flash of lightning, passing by in front of his eyes.

Xu Xin'an was frightened and jumped away suddenly. He was stunned for a while before he found that the thin hemp rope that tied the bags had been cut off by the blade, but the thick burlap wrapped in the long bow was not damaged at all.

However, what really shocked him was the extremely sharp sword force at that moment. After a while, he couldn't completely calm down his terrifying feeling.

"Uncle Seventeen, are you sure to take my knife?" Xu Huai stabbed the long sword horizontally with his elbow and asked at Xu Wujiang.

Xu Wujiang stared at the long straight sword in Xu Huai's hand with a calm face, but saw that the speed of stabbing out horizontally was not fast. The movements between the shoulders, hips, hands and feet were one of the eight basic swords in the python sword.

Of course, it is not difficult for those who have practiced the python sword for one or two years to achieve this.

However, just as Xu Huai's left arm was rolling out, the blade with a thick spine and long sword reflected the faint light from the lantern. At this moment, it seemed like the water waves rippled, and he suspected that it was an illusion. Then he heard a slight tremor from the blade. The blade seemed to grow several inches in an instant, slashing through a willow tree on the oblique side, leaving a knife edge several inches long.

Ordinary people can't see the essence of this sword, and they even feel it's dragged on. However, Xu Wujiang only practiced this sword after he was twenty years old. How could he not know the sharpness of it?

The essence of this sword force is to exert force in the second stage, placing the force on the spine of the sword, and the purpose is not to even kill the enemy by chance.

On the battlefield, each hand holds swords, shields, guns and halberds to fight. The second stage of force can open the opponent's portal when it is impossible to exert, and even go further, killing the opponent's weapon.

He stared at Xu Huai in disbelief and asked, "When did you practice the python sword to this level?"

"I shouldn't hide some things from you, Uncle Seventeen and Xin'an, but sometimes I feel that you are treated as stupid people and enjoy your care. You don't have to do anything, but it's good," Xu Huai returned to the scabbard and said, "However, Deng Gui and the head of the family Xu Wufu and the assassin join forces to send Uncle Seventeen to death. I can't hide everything from you anymore!"

Of course, Xu Wujiang could know Deng Gui's order and the head of the family Xu Wufu was subordinate to Deng Gui. It was wrong for not helping them argue with reason, otherwise he would not be full of resentment, but he didn't understand it.

Xu Huai started from the day when he was in Yingzizui's mouth to redeem Liu Qiong'er from Yuehong Building, and the fact that he lured the spy who sneaked into Tieshi Lane to the banks of Yesanzigou was ambushed to Xu Wujiang. Xu Xin'an knew:

"... Zheng Hui was the leader of the Privy Councilor Cai Ying. He went to Tongbai Mountain in person. Not only did Hutou Village control more than 200 bandit soldiers from Chen Zixiao, but there may be officials in the Tangzhou Prefecture and County Government Offices. Deng Gui did not dare to compete with him, so he arranged for you to go to Qingxi Village to die! At that time, the thieves were very strong, and the matter of suppressing bandits will be taken over by the prefecture and county, or Deng Gui was incompetent in suppressing bandits and was transferred to him to serve in a neat way, so he would naturally shirk all the relationship! And what kind of information the head of the family got to echo Deng Gui, we cannot guess the details..."

Xu Wujiang sat on the tree stump with a scabbard, unable to suppress the suffocation from his chest, and it was hard to imagine everything in front of him.

He guessed that Wang Bing met the bandits was not simple, but he did not expect that in the end he would be a little insect who jumped into the net without knowing it.

Deng Gui arranged for him to lead the military soldiers to guard Qingxi Village. Although he was resentful and felt that such arrangements were unfair to him and the military soldiers under his command, he never thought how dangerous it was.

Although Hutou Village has two hundred bandits, it lacks troops and armor, and its ability to attack the city is even weaker. Xu Wujiang thought that he led twenty armored soldiers to Qingxi Village and then organized the village's young and strong men, and his defense power would not be too weak. Hutou Village's bandits have no profits, so he should not risk much casualties to attack Qingxi Village.

But he never expected that everything behind this was such a conspiracy!

Even Hutou Village had hijacked more than a dozen women and children from Qingxi Village as a meat ticket, which was part of the entire conspiracy, with the purpose of threatening Qingxi Village's troops to rebel at that time.

Although Xu Huai's change was so sudden, and although the entangled conspiracy behind it was so shocking, Lu Xiong stood aside, and Xu Wujiang could not believe it.

But, what should he do, what can he do?

As the former Chief Censor, Wang Bing was unable to struggle in such a crisis. In the Inspection Office, he was just a soldier who commanded more than 20 martial soldiers. What kind of flowers could he struggle in this boundless and extremely tough net?

"You said that the assassin came to target the old soldiers of Jingsheng Army, and the head of the family would never easily give up Xu Wuli, Xu Wuqing and others who leaned on him as their right-hand man. He should have been led by someone to the nose because he was kept in the dark. Let's go to him to explain all this." Xu Xin'an might be the first to be a calf and was not afraid of a tiger, and perhaps it would be difficult for Xu Huai to accept such a sudden change from the bottom of his heart. He suggested.

"After the incident was discussed from Deng Gui at night, Xu Wufu's servant couldn't wait to return to Yuhuangling; and at noon today, Xu Wuji and Xu Heng also brought their people in the Mule and Horse Market in Biyang back to the Zhuangzi! Xu Wufu may not be really confused." Xu Wujiang said in pain.

Xu Huai had no deep impression of the head of the family Xu Wufu, and it was difficult to make an accurate judgment on the person's words and deeds, but he could understand what Xu Wujiang said.

Xu Wujiang undoubtedly said that Xu Wu is rich in others in Miyang. Whether it is hearsay or Zheng Hui intentionally conveying the news, he actually has his own judgment on the truth about Wang Bing's encounter with the bandits.

This time, Xu Wufu returned to Tongbai Mountain and retreated all the direct men in Biyang. He should have made the worst preparations, but he hoped that after sacrificing Xu Wujiang and the others, the assassin successfully killed Wang Bingneng and stopped, and would not involve the entire Xu family.

Of course, Xu Wufu did this with another intention, which proved to the assassin behind the scenes that Xu did not participate in secretly protecting Wang Bing.

It is conceivable that when Xu Wufu returned to Yuhuangling, he temporarily cut off the contact between Xu and the outside world. They should not say that they would ask Xu Wufu to explain everything clearly now, and they may not be able to return to Yuhuangling and seek assistance from other tribesmen.

In other words, everyone in Tangzhou knew clearly what happened to the king's encounter with bandits.

They had never thought about the injustice behind this matter, and they did not feel a little angry that the dignified Privy Councilor in the court actually used this method to eradicate political enemies.

At this time, they all hoped that Wang Bing would die as soon as possible and that the whole thing would be calmed down as soon as possible, and would not affect their career and wealth.

They must say that they have any ideas in their hearts, and they just take this opportunity to eliminate people they don’t like.

What the hell is this world?

"There is another thing that the head of the family thinks, that is, go to the street market and see if the people from the East Street Muma Market have withdrawn from Yuhuangling!" Xu Huai said with a calm face.

The northern slope of Yuhuangling is gentle and has lush forests. It is a rare pasture in Tongbai Mountain. Xu raises cattle and horses based on it. Our family is in Huaiyuan Town. In addition to operating grain shops, Biyang also operates mule and horse markets. Thousands of cows, horses, mules and donkeys are sold every year.

If their speculation about Xu Wufu was correct, the Xu clan members in Huaiyuan Town should also receive a notice and withdraw to Yuhuangling in batches.

"I'll go to Hedong to find them!" Xu Xin'an didn't believe that the head of the family was so ruthless. He threw the Changbow to Xu Huai, so he wanted to cross the river overnight to find Xu Wuyun and other tribe members to verify.

"Deng Gui issued a strict order. After nightfall, the military camp was closed. It was strictly forbidden to appear without his orders." Xu Wujiang said.

The bandits are getting worse, and Deng Gui strengthened the control of the military soldiers in the inspection. There was no criticism at first, but he did not act two days ago and suddenly became strict tonight. What else can I doubt?
