The sword-wielding guard thought that his words had frightened the other party, and began to emphasize his tone: "No matter who you are, how can you be compared with the imperial prince? The disaster of killing the nine tribes is right in front of you, what do you think?"
Yin Feng thought secretly in his heart: Most of my nine tribes will be alive 400 years later, and you won't even be able to kill them.
He smiled faintly and said to the guard: "What is your name?"
Yin Feng didn't have much airs in his dealings. During the years when he was dominating, he had been in a high position for a long time, and he naturally developed a condescending temperament. His gentle appearance only added to his temperament.
The highly nervous sword-wielding guard couldn't help but reply: "I am Gao Chengqi, one of the Jinling Guards of Baihu, in the Duke of Song Dynasty..." He suddenly realized: "You, what do you want to do?"
"Guard Gao, you are loyal to your master, loyal to your duties, and brave enough to take on your responsibilities. You are a good man. In this way, we have to leave the city overnight. If you let us leave the city, I will let your master go."
Gao Chengqi laughed: "You want to run away, haha. Do you think you've caused such a big trouble and still want to..."
Yin Feng smiled coldly: "We can leave whenever we want. Do you think Jinling City can trap us? I just gave you a way to survive for the sake of your loyalty to the Lord. Haha, now, you have no chance." Already..."
Before Yin Feng finished speaking, Gao Chengqi suddenly took action. He neither rushed towards Yin Feng nor abandoned his master and jumped out of the window to escape. Instead, he rushed towards the two pipa singers who had been shrinking in the corner.
When everyone was stunned for a moment, he put a knife across the older woman's neck with his right hand, grabbed her with his left hand and blocked her in front of him, lowering his head and hiding behind the woman.
"You guys spread out and let me go, otherwise this ****'s life will be at risk,"
There was a burst of black energy on Yin Feng's face, and the others also looked calm: In front of these close combat masters, Gao Qicheng was able to successfully take hostages, which was tantamount to giving each of these special battalion soldiers a slap in the face.
Yin Feng took a step forward and said coldly: "What do you mean?"
Gao Qicheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Needless to say, what happened tonight will not have a good outcome for me no matter what. I just want to protect myself now. Let me go. You can do whatever you like with the things here." , It has nothing to do with me, I will naturally let this little bitch go."
Suddenly, the kidnapped woman woke up from the shock, saw Yin Feng in front of her with tearful eyes, and blurted out: "Captain Yin, save me,"
Yin Feng was stunned: This was the first time he came back to the old courtyard of Jinling Qinhuai River. How could any woman know him?
Chen Zhongji, Luo Aquan and others immediately lamented for this high guard; now, he must die.
"Captain Yin, you, are you the giant sea pirate Yin Feng?" Gao Qicheng was shocked.
Yin Feng smiled helplessly: "That's me. However, this is the first time I've heard that I am a giant pirate on the sea." He originally liked the guard's wit and calmness, and did not want to kill them all, but now he was attracted by this woman. If his identity is revealed, it will be absolutely impossible for this person to live anymore.
He turned to signal to Luo Aquan.
Luo Aquan nodded, took advantage of Gao Qicheng's momentary distraction, stepped forward, raised his hand to pull the trigger crossbow in his hand, the crossbow arrow accurately hit Gao Qicheng's right wrist holding the knife, the crossbow arrow penetrated the bone, and the arrow was not far away from Tang Xiaowan The neck is just a trace.
The two sharpshooters under Luo Aquan standing outside the window and at the door also cooperated tacitly and fired crossbow arrows at the same time. "Cang!" Gao Wei's knife fell to the ground and he covered his neck with his left hand that could still move, but they were unable to block the arrows. Blood gushed out from the main artery in his neck, and an arrow hit his right shoulder, but he had no time to feel the pain.
At the same time, Chen Zhongji suddenly rushed forward and punched Mr. Song, who was huddled in front of the window, and knocked him unconscious.
Yin Feng took a step forward and caught Tang Xiaowan who was lying limply on the ground. He looked carefully and saw that she was in her mid-twenties and had a good appearance, but he couldn't remember who she was. He raised his head. He ordered: "Ji Zai, Aquan, clean up the scene. Don't kill Mr. Song yet. Deal with the rest... By the way, take off all the clothes on their bodies. We need these clothes to get out of the city."
In a blink of an eye, he saw another woman with fireworks in the light smoke bookstore huddled in the corner, looking at him cautiously, as if she was a monster.
Yin Feng forced a smile and asked, "What's the name of this young lady?" At that time, people called these women by the Qinhuai River "young lady".
Another woman, Mei Xinlan, although she is still young, is much more beautiful and courageous than Tang Xiaowan. At this time, she said in a trembling voice: "Sir, Master Tang, Sister Tang has been thinking of you..."
Speaking of "ship owner" and "sir" together, only the common people in the China Company's area under Yin Feng's rule would do this. Moreover, most of them were the first batch of escapees from Manila who came to Taiwan and immigrants in the early days of the establishment of the China Company. People who come to Taiwan.
Yin Feng couldn't help but was slightly surprised: "My surname is Tang, oh, you also know who I am, you are from Fujian,"
Mei Xinlan shook her head gloomily: "No, I am from Shexian County. The Tang sister you are holding is from Fujian. Her brother is an opera singer...the leader of the Tang Family Troupe in Quanzhou Liyuan Opera..."
Yin Feng put Tang Xiaowan on the coffee table and sighed: "I remembered that she is the female actress from the Tang family class... You should have heard her say that I had released their whole family back then. Quanzhou, how did she come here?"
Mei Xinlan lowered her head and remembered her life experience: "She was sold here by her own brother,"
…
At this time, the soldiers of the special battalion and Yin Feng's personal guards took action together and were busy stripping off the dead man's clothes.
Luo Aquan left the Danyan Book Apartment and went to find the liaison officer of the Military Intelligence Department of the China United Company in Jinling; while Chen Zhongji was busy directing people to tie up all the men and women in the Danyan Book Apartment, and drove more than 20 people in The woodshed was closed.
After taking off their clothes, the killed servants and guards were all thrown into the pool in the middle of the garden. As for the young men, there were eight of them in total. They were knocked unconscious, tied into a ball, their mouths were gagged, and they were stuffed into the backyard. storehouse.
While searching the entire yard, someone dragged out the madam and the turtle slave and brought them to Yin Feng.
Madam Lin kowtowed, her nose dripping with tears and she said: "Master, Master, please spare my life..."
Yin Feng threw a silver note to her: "We don't kill women and children, you get up... So many people have died here, and your business can't continue no matter what. Take these 3,000 taels of silver, and I'll give it to you." Miss Tang, Miss Mei’s ransom money will be used to send your people away, and you yourself should hide far away. If you are caught by the government, don’t talk nonsense. Remember, my men are all over the world."
Yin Feng didn't wait for the Madam to react and waved his hand. Two men in black from the special battalion quickly took action and knocked out both the Madam and the Turtle Slave.
When Yin Feng and others put on the clothes of those young masters, the entire Danyan Book Apartment was completely silent, except for the chirping of crickets as autumn approaches.
Luo Aquan ducked from the street into the courtyard and said to Yin Feng and others: "There is no movement on the street, and there is nothing unusual in the whole city of Nanjing. I have inquired about it, and there are a lot of jealousies among these young masters here in the old courtyard. The night watchmen are not at all Too lazy to care about these things,"
Yin Feng smiled coldly: "Okay, then we will use Mr. Song's name to leave the city." He looked back behind him and said to Chen Zhongji: "Take care of those two girls..."
Xu Hongji stepped forward and said softly: "All the turtle slaves and maids in the yard have seen you. It would be a disaster to keep you here, right..."
"They don't know my identity. There are only these two girls in the whole yard... Don't worry about them. The madam is very smart and will definitely run away. And those young masters have been fed a** and won't wake up in two days. Then We would have gone to sea long ago,"
…
There is a folk saying about Nanjing's city gates that "there are thirteen inside and eighteen outside". Folk legend has a jingle composed of the names of the city gates: "Shence Jinchuan Yifeng Gate, Huaiyuan Qingliang to Shicheng, three mountains gather treasures and connect to Jiji. The rising sun of Hongwu established peace,"
The city wall of Nanjing in this dynasty had thirteen gates, all of which were connected to the main streets in the city. The streets were crisscrossed and arranged in an orderly manner. Emperor Hongwu found that the imperial palace and the Forbidden City in the eastern suburbs were too close to Zhongshan, which was not good for defense. Then he ordered to use the loess hills outside Yingtianfu City to build part of the outer city wall with bricks, and opened eighteen city gates.
On this morning, the Taiping Gate in the north of Nanjing City had just opened. Taiping Gate was named "Taiping" because the "Heavenly Prison" was located outside the city gate. Several Shence Guard soldiers guarding the gate were stretching and yawning. Four or five carriages Suddenly appeared on the street and rushed straight towards the Taiping Gate.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way," the people on the carriage shouted arrogantly: "Young Master Song is accompanying the beauty on an outing in the city, please get out of the way."
Chen Zhongji held Mr. Song hostage with a dagger from behind and pushed the guy to reveal his face through the side window of the carriage.
"Let me out," Mr. Song shouted with a ferocious face. This was probably because of fear, but the soldiers guarding the city saw it as angry. They also smelled the strong smell of alcohol coming from the carriage and saw the curtains shaking. There was a beautiful woman around, so I thought that these young men were going to have sex with prostitutes again, so I quickly gave way to let them go.
After Yin Feng and others put on makeup and left the city, the soldiers of the special battalion distributed in the main roads of the old hospital one after another put on makeup and left the city, rushing to the agreed rendezvous point.
…
The commotion in Danyan's residence at night was quickly submerged in the huge night of Jinling City, and did not attract anyone's attention.
The next day, the restaurants and vegetable markets near the old courtyard all felt strange: Danyan Book Apartment did not send anyone to buy vegetables.
The family members of those young masters began to inquire about their whereabouts, and heard from the soldiers guarding the Taiping Gate that these young masters, headed by Mr. Song, had all gone out of the city to play.
It wasn't until nightfall that anyone noticed that something was wrong. The students from the Imperial College were driven away from the Danyan Bookstore by Mr. Song last night. They came again the next night, but were rejected at the door of the Danyan Bookstore. The scholars who felt strange broke down the door for a while, but later passers-by passed by and informed: "The young ladies in Danyan Book Residence were taken out of the city by Song Guogong's son early in the morning."
The disappointed scholars turned a corner, entered another courtyard, and continued to go to Fenghuaxueyue. It didn't take long to forget the strange scene in the light smoke study apartment.
