Yuwen Chengchao noticed the movement in the grass not far away, his eyes were sharp, he held the handle of the knife and walked slowly towards the grass.
The villagers saw with their own eyes a group of magic soldiers descending from the sky and killing Uncle Tu and others. The originally peaceful and peaceful village was now filled with blood. For a moment, they didn't know what fate would happen next. They even knelt on the ground and remained still.
Don't dare to get up.
However, the swordsmen were surprised when they saw Xing Jiang slowly walking towards the grass. Some of them became alert and held the handle of their swords.
Qin Xiao saw Yu Wencheng approaching step by step holding the handle of his sword, but he didn't know whether to get up to meet him or stay still.
If Yuwen Chengchao was the only one, Qin Xiao would naturally have no scruples.
But now Yuwen Chengchao's apparent identity is Jing Muyan of the Queen Mother Association, and he is even accompanied by a group of followers. If he comes out to meet him, it will inevitably be detrimental to Yuwen Chengchao. The eldest son is now lurking in the Queen Mother Association, and his situation is already
It's very dangerous. I must not bring any trouble to Yuwen Chengchao.
She Yue naturally didn't know Yu Wen Chengchao's identity, so when she saw Yu Wen Chengchao approaching, she frowned and became nervous.
Just now Yuwen Chengchao killed Uncle Tu with one blow. Looking at his skill, he was definitely not good at it.
She knew that Qin Xiao was not weak in martial arts, but the big man who came over was also very skilled, and there were more than a dozen swordsmen around him. In a head-on duel, Qin Xiao's victory or defeat was uncertain. In her nervousness, she couldn't help but hold one of her hands.
The lapel of Qin Xiao's clothes was removed.
She knew in her heart that after the Suzhou Rebellion, the Queen Mother Congregation in the territory had come out from behind the scenes. Now, there are Queen Mother Congregations all over Suzhou. One of their important tasks is to find their traces. If Jing Mu is passed by,
If you find a suspicious man and woman, you will definitely not let them go.
Yu Wen Chengchao gradually approached and had already pulled out the big knife that he had just killed. Qin Xiao did not move, but just raised his head. When Yu Wen Chengchao came to the edge of the grass, Yu Wen Chengchao saw someone in the grass, his face darkened, and he held the big knife tightly.
, he was about to chop it down, but in an instant, he recognized Qin Xiao and his body was shocked.
Seemingly seeing something unusual about the star general, several swordsmen followed him with swords in hand.
"It turns out to be a hare." Yu Wen Chengchao suddenly laughed, put away the knife, turned around and walked towards the swordsmen, "I thought someone was ambushing here."
When the swordsmen heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"General Xing, what should we do with these people?" one person asked as he put away his knife.
Yuwen Chengchao ignored Qin Xiao's side and walked over to the villagers: "You don't have to be afraid, we won't hurt you. But you may already know that the Queen Mother will be in trouble in the next two days, and there will be too many people at the Queen Mother Meeting.
, the good and the bad are mixed, there are good people, but there are also many bad people." He raised his hand and said: "Let's all get up first."
The villagers helped each other to get up, and the old man said to Yu Wencheng: "The great hero has a kind heart, we will set up a memorial tablet for you...!"
"The evil people in the Queen Mother Association took advantage of the fire, plundered grain and livestock, and raped civilians." Yuwen Chengchao looked at the shocked people and sighed: "If you stay here, there is no guarantee that there will be others.
Come and harass."
The villagers had just escaped death and breathed a sigh of relief. When they heard this, they suddenly became frightened. The old man said anxiously: "Great hero, then... what should we do?"
"Do you know about Huqiu County? Walking a hundred miles southwest from here is Huqiu County." Yu Wencheng said: "If you believe me, take your family to Huqiu County. As long as you enter
city, no one will hurt you again."
"Huqiu County?" The old man hesitated. When the villagers heard that they were going to Huqiu County for refuge, they were also hesitant.
Yuwen Chengchao said earnestly: "Don't worry, you are not the only one who has taken refuge in Huqiu County. People from more than a dozen villages have already fled to Huqiu County. When you get there, you don't have to fight with the officers and soldiers.
If you kill them, your livestock will still be yours." Then he said: "You can discuss it. If you are willing, I will send someone to take you to gather later. There are already villagers from three villages on the Xujiagou side heading there.
Gather together over there, and when you all get there, I will take you to Huqiu County."
The old man cupped his hands and said: "Great hero, can you let us discuss it?"
"That's natural." Yu Wen Cheng nodded and said, "By the way, these corpses can't just be left like this. Old man, please send some laborers from the village to work with my men to find a place to bury these corpses first. If you want,
Leave here and go to Huqiu County to take refuge. After burying the body, pack your things quickly. The sooner you leave here, the better." He told someone next to him: "Niu Xi, you and others will bury the body together. If the villagers are willing to leave, you and your brothers will leave.
Let’s help pack the luggage and load the car together.”
Niu Xi cupped his hands and said: "Obey the order!" He said to the old man: "Old man, is there a hoe in the village? Let everyone get it, and we will bury the body first."
Yu Wen Chengchao suddenly covered his stomach and said with some embarrassment: "Niu Xi, you and the brothers should hurry up. The bowl of noodles at noon made me feel uncomfortable. I'll go and make myself comfortable first." Without any nonsense, he turned to Qin Xiao.
The grass passed by.
Naturally, Niu Xi and others didn't know that there was something else going on in the grass, so they were dealing with the funeral arrangements with the villagers.
Yu Wen Chengchao walked to the grass and walked past Qin Xiao without even looking at it. He walked straight into the grass. Qin Xiao understood the idea, carried She Yue on his back, bent down and followed Yu Wen Chengchao.
Just now, Yu Wen Chengchao clearly saw Qin Xiao, but did not take action. She Yue only felt it was incredible. Now she saw Qin Xiao following Yu Wen Chengchao. She was as smart as ice and snow, and she already vaguely knew that Qin Xiao and the sudden appearance of Jing Muyan
There must be a lot to do with it.
After walking for a long time, Yuwen Chengchao finally stopped and looked around to make sure there was no one there. Then he turned around and looked at Qin Xiao with a mixture of surprise and surprise: "Brother Qin, why are you here?"
"Young Master, I didn't expect to meet you here." Qin Xiao carefully put She Yue down, sat on the grass, and lowered his voice: "How are you doing?"
Yu Wen Chengchao had already come closer, squatted down, looked at She Yue, suddenly knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Common man Yu Wen Chengchao, pay homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
She Yue's face changed color slightly, but she calmed down instantly and said in surprise: "Are you... are you Yuwen Chengchao?"
"Your Highness, after the rebellion in Xiling, the eldest son and I went to Beijing to report the news, but in Yongzhou we met the Queen Mother's congregation who were pretending to be gods and ghosts." Qin Xiao finally explained in a low voice at this time: "Those congregations wanted to recruit us to join, and the eldest son took advantage of it.
I pretended to take refuge with them, hoping to find out some useful information. This matter is of great importance and related to the safety of the eldest son, so I dare not say a word about the eldest son's whereabouts after entering the capital."
She Yue did not expect that Yu Wen Chengchao was actually a spy who lurked into the Queen Mother Society. Although she was shocked, she was also happy and said softly: "Yu Wen Chengchao, you went deep into the tiger's den and served the country with great loyalty. This palace will never forget you.
."
"Being loyal to the country is the duty of ordinary people." Yuwen Chengchao said solemnly: "I received the news the day before yesterday that the princess and the Qin brothers had escaped from Suzhou City... and that Suzhou City had rebelled.
The Queen Mother's congregation lurking in Suzhou has been awakened. In the past two days, people have gathered and searched everywhere for the princess and Brother Qin."
Qin Xiao frowned and said: "Master, is the road to Hangzhou unsafe?"
"We can't go to Hangzhou." Yu Wencheng looked solemnly: "The further you go to Hangzhou, the more people there will be in the Queen Mother Association. As long as they see a beautiful woman, they will definitely arrest her, even if she is wrong, she will make the mistake.
Moreover, there are many members of the congregation who appear to be just ordinary people. They are scattered everywhere, looking for you. If anyone finds your traces, we promise to reward you with five hundred taels of gold."
Qin Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness, it seems that we are still very valuable."
"Brother, you may not be worth much, the princess is." Yu Wenchengchao smiled slightly and said softly: "We received the news that a man and a woman are to be arrested. The woman is pretty and the man is young. As long as we see these two
Individuals must not be let go. If you go to Hangzhou like this, you will definitely meet many informants on the way. As long as one person discovers your traces, the Queen Mother's congregation everywhere will definitely swarm over when they get the news. Going to Hangzhou will be difficult.
It is almost impossible to reach Hangzhou smoothly."
She Yue's pretty face was solemn, she pondered for a moment, and asked: "Are the Hangzhou aristocratic families also members of the Queen Mother Society? Can they rebel?"
"The Cao Min is currently just a star general of the Queen Mother Association, and his duty is to command the congregation. We are currently unable to obtain more secret information." Yuwen Chengchao said softly: "Whether all the Jiangnan families are involved in the rebellion, the Cao Min has no real evidence and dare not speak with confidence. However,
...!”
"You can just say it, no need to worry."
"Thank you, princess." Yuwen Chengchao thought for a moment and then said: "The common people have figured out that the culprit who planned the Jiangnan rebellion this time is Haotian, the one who led the rebellion in Suzhou is General Netherworld, and the one who is in charge of Hangzhou is General Kuhai, so it can
Certainly, the Hangzhou rebellion will happen sooner or later."
"General Kuhai turns out to be in Hangzhou." Qin Xiao sneered.
The Queen Mother Society of Suzhou and others tried their best to frame Taihu Linghu Xuan as the General of the Sea of Bitterness, but the real General of the Sea of Bitterness was in Hangzhou.
"Who is General Netherworld?" She Yue asked.
Yuwen Chengchao shook his head: "It has not been found out yet, but Qian Guanghan, the head of the Qian family in Suzhou, is suspected."
"How many people are there in the Queen Mother Society in Jiangnan?"
"I don't know about the other two states, but there are ten star generals in Suzhou." Yuwen Chengchao explained softly: "There are three and seven counties in Suzhou. Each county has one star general, and some have two stars.
The followers of the Queen Mother in the county where the general is located will obey the orders of the general. I was assigned to Huqiu County, which is adjacent to Baoyang County." At this point, he suddenly said to She Yue: "Your Highness, the common people want to ask you for help.
Please forgive me!"
She Yue was startled, frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
"After the Queen Mother Hui rebelled, I led the Queen Mother Hui to attack the Huqiu County government office and imprisoned all the officials in Huqiu County." Yuwen Chengchao looked solemn: "Now Huqiu County is under the control of the Queen Mother Hui.
"
She Yue sighed: "You are also forced by the situation, I forgive you."
"Thank you princess." Yuwen Chengchao said: "However, half of the seven counties in Suzhou have been controlled by the Queen Mother Society, and Baoyang County was also captured by Kuimulang. The followers of the Queen Mother Society mainly live in villages, hiding their identities.
However, an order was passed down more than a month ago, and many followers of the Queen Mother entered the county and lurked among them. I followed their orders more than a month ago and brought more than a hundred people into Huqiu County. Before taking action,
General Zuo Shen asked his messengers to mobilize all the believers in Huqiu County outside the city. The night before yesterday, I led some people to attack the county government office, and the other party captured the city gate and helped the believers outside to enter the city. One night
In a short time, he took control of Huqiu County." After a pause, he continued: "The same method was used by Kuimulang to seize the city."
"General Zuo Shen?"
Yuwen Chengchao immediately explained: "General Netherworld has three confidants, one civil and two military. The civil one is called the prime minister, and the military one is the left and right generals. In Suzhou, these two generals each command five star generals. The common people are currently
