Chapter 466: Working together

"There is no room, there is really no..." When another group of guests came to Longmen Inn, Jin Xiangyu had a headache. The ones who came were actually a group of guys who didn't speak much about the reason and another group of barbarians. Accustomed to the prosperity of Yunzhou, Jin Xiangyu felt that the Northern Liao Dynasty was already very rustic and backward, and these people claimed to be from the northeast of Northern Liao. Their outfits were indeed the same as semi-civilized tribes. The most prominent feature was that they didn't know what the reason was.

There were more than twenty people in this group, and the two leaders were responsible for negotiations. Even these two people could only speak Chinese dialect very reluctantly, and they really didn't know how they came here all the way. The two waiters explained for a long time that there was no room anymore, but according to their logic, the farther away the guests were the more noble they were. According to this standard, no matter who lives in the inn now, they had to move a place for them. What's more, they haven't asked for many rooms yet, as long as they could squeeze in, and they only stayed for one night.

God knows that no one stays at Longmen Inn for more than three days. If so, most of them are secret spies or come to pick up business groups from afar. Because Longmen Inn has always maintained an extremely high room turnover rate, it is possible to ensure that this small inn can persist.

"The room is gone. Now the woodshed and warehouses behind are empty. Ask them if they are willing to live there. There are always things like bedding and other things we open." Jin Xiangyu pointed to a waiter and said, "You go and ask."

The waiter rushed over and argued for a long time before explaining the meaning of this not complicated. Unexpectedly, when these unreasonable people heard that there was a place to live, they didn't care about where they were, so they agreed and followed the waiter to settle down. Although the people were settled, the entire inn was full of people and there was no room for maneuver. The confrontation between the two groups of people who came earlier seemed to be more and more urgent.

Jin Xiangyu gritted her teeth and had various thoughts in her mind. What she was worried about now was that no one could discuss what was going on. Since the confrontation between the two armies, Longmen Inn has not been so lively for a long time. Although neither side took any measures to the two passages, the merchants in the passages have been intensified in the same way, and the suspicious business travelers were directly investigated. Some of them had already registered in the intelligence department, but they had just endured the secret spies who did not catch them. As long as they encountered each other, they would catch one. In almost a month, the occupancy rate of Longmen Inn had not exceeded 40%. This time, the waiter, who had already relaxed, and the kitchen chefs were a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open again. Sitting in the small room on the second floor, Jin Xiangyu looking down at the entire hall and the front desk, Jin Xiangyu had a headache, but when his face stuck out of the door panel, Jin Xiangyu immediately turned worries and joy. The person who came was one of the liaison officers who had been in charge of contacting her and determined what he needed, Ye Tao's absolute confidant Zhou Rui. When he first established the Longmen Inn, due to the fact that there was no considerable crowd, Zhou Rui was running away because he was afraid of attracting the attention of the Northern Liao Dynasty. His superb ability to sneak and hide his traces made experts like Jin Xiangyu amazed. But Zhou Rui was a celebrity around Ye Tao after all, and it was impossible for him to be delayed here all the time. It is said that he ran to Chunnan for business a while ago. Not to mention anything else, just Zhou Rui's appearance here is enough to prove that something amazing is going to happen.

Zhou Rui pretended to be exhausted and lay on the table. He waved his hand powerlessly at the waiter, and asked for a pound of beef, a large pot of light ale wine and some side dishes. The guy who had been working here since the inn was founded, got up, and the two pretended to explain that they had no trouble with the meal, and asked Zhou Rui to squeeze in the guy's room. When Zhou Rui came to the room, Jin Xiangyu was already waiting there.

"Mr. Zhou, why are you here? But what big thing happened?"

"It's not a big deal. I did not come as a messenger this time, but as an assassin." Zhou Rui said with a smile: "But I'm going to bother my elder sister again."

Jin Xiangyu said suspiciously: "Assassin, who are you going to assassinate?"

"Are you here? You are naturally your guest. Is there a group of people of about 30, led by an old man with white hair and thick and strong body?" Zhou Rui asked.

"There is...it's said that his surname is Xie." Jin Xiangyu said

"It's this old man." Zhou Rui said: "This guy is not an ordinary person. This guy's name is Yang Ming. My job is to make sure that this guy can't get to Yunzhou."

After thinking about it, the name was finally linked to some terrible content. Yang Ming was completely worthy of the four words "Haoshi". He was one of the top landlords in Bei Liao. Because Bei Liao had many shady stories in land measurement, no one knew how many land there were, but it was an indisputable fact that their family tenants had nearly 100,000 households. By Yang Ming's generation, he was extremely strict with the tenants, and for the sake of the family to accumulate wealth, he had reached the point of not caring about long-term development. Needless to say, he died of exhaustion in the fields every year. When he paid the rent every year, if he could not pay it, he was considered to be a plea to him. Although the Northern Liao government did not like this guy, the Yang family was no matter what.

The second largest military ration supplier in Northern Liao, no matter who it is, they had to think about it before. But in this situation, many civil officials in the Northern Liao Dynasty, who were already violent and violent, joined forces to put pressure on the Yang family, and finally forced the Yang family to sell the military rations that were sufficient for the entire Northern Liao army in stock for two years to the Northern Liao court at an absolute loss. Although there were many praises on the surface, with the Yang family's personality, they would never be convinced. Other families made such great contributions, at least they had to have a seat of more than a minister in the court to reward them, but the Yang family did not get it. This was partly because the Yang family had briefly raised the price of rice, and when the Northern Liao fought fiercely with Dongping in Zhenbeiguan, this beam could not be solved.

"The Yang family had our idea, and we all admitted it when we entered Yunzhou. In fact, it would be fine if we admit it now and deal with it slowly in the future. But you also know that the masters we serve cannot tolerate sand in our eyes. So, I had to let me come here." Zhou Rui said lightly.

Jin Xiangyu absolutely dared not underestimate Zhou Rui. Zhou Rui has been relatively peaceful in recent years. He has not had much record with Ye Tao or is busy running a special camp. But in the past few years, he used his own strength to kill the snake eyes of Emperor Daoming, so he dared not to emerge. He killed Sun Xiaofan crying and begging his master to order Yingtang to help, which prevented him from becoming a lonely man. Sun Xiaofan himself was targeted by Zhou Rui several times. Although he finally escaped from birth, he also took one look, and he was no longer the appearance of a beautiful young man back then. Although Zhou Rui was covered in bruises and was injured in a series of battles, at least he still had to be full of his tail and jumped around, which shows the level of the situation.

"Do you want me to help?" Jin Xiangyu thought for a while and asked.

"Sister, I'm not really going to take action by myself. On the day they escape, our spies who were ambushing in the Northern Liao Dynasty began to spread messages saying that they were treason. The Western Route Army had to catch up and kill for a while, just make sure that no one could escape. Besides, I'm not alone. This time I'm done with the mission, I have to be responsible for escorting you back to Gondor and listen to it separately. I came out with the A Group of the Special Camp." Zhou Rui said calmly.

When Jin Xiangyu heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she was inevitably a little disappointed. Longmen Inn has been operating for many years, but I don’t know how much effort she has invested. Moreover, she has indeed fallen in love with this kind of life, and even fell in love with Jin Xiangyu’s hidden identity. I don’t know what else to give her in the future.

"What about the other two groups of people? They don't look like ordinary people," Jin Xiangyu asked.

"One group belongs to the Duanmu family, and the other group should be indeed barbarians, and they can't figure out the way. But looking at them, they don't seem to be making trouble, but they seem to be rushing to Yunzhou to do something. They see that they are carrying valuables, so I'm afraid they are not asking for something for adults, right?" Zhou Rui said.

"Oh, I hope that yes, and I hope my wife can spend these days peacefully. The storm is coming. I'm afraid that horse thieves will come to make trouble at this time."

Jinxiangyu uses the word "make trouble" too lightly. Due to the confrontation between the two sides, the horse thieves in the buffer zone are like fish in water, and they are not arrogant. They usually help maintain order in the buffer zone. But if there are any red goods, they will definitely take action.

Jin Xiangyu and Zhou Rui talked about Yunzhou. The recent situation in northern Xinjiang was unknowingly at night. Just as Jin Xiangyu was about to leave and go to rest, a clatter on the roof made Jin Xiangyu's heart tremble.

"We're finally here. This guy has been hiding in the firewood for more than two hours. He's so patient." Zhou Rui was not afraid. However, before he could take action, the barbarian in the inn screamed and pounced on him. The knife in his hand swung a messy sword light, but his desperate move surprised the man on the roof and didn't know what to do. At this time, Jin Xiangyu and Zhou Rui had already jumped out and pounced on him together.

Zhou Rui has always been very ruthless. He has always believed that even if he kills the other party, he can still get a lot of information through clues. Moreover, trained warriors have always been difficult to pry open their mouths with torture. Zhou Rui and Jin Xiangyu took action together. Not to mention that the person who came was much worse than any of them, even if it was Liu Yong, he probably couldn't get much better. He only heard the person screaming, and then fell to the ground after being hit by a palm. He spitted out a mouthful of blood, took out a signal flare from his arms, and wiped it, and a bright flame ball shot into the air. Zhou Rui sighed, took out the signal flare from his arms, polished it, and three purple flames shot into the sky in a row.

Maybe it was a little late. There was already a rumbling sound of horse hooves around, just less than five hundred steps. Zhou Rui shrugged and looked at Jin Xiangyu and said, "Sister, let's meet those people below. This time... we must have to work together with these boring guys for a while."

The movement outside quickly alarmed everyone, and the front hall was filled with people from several places. The first thing they realized was that the barbarians had sent their own scouts while others were still in a hurry to ask what was going on. Two guys with a fierce look on their faces stepped on the horse and rushed out without hesitation. The others gathered in the front hall, and the valuable things they carried were wrapped and thrown on the ground. Everyone was wiping their weapons and rectifying their equipment.

There were no ten guards brought by the Duanmu family, but they were all good at it. Among the members of the Duanmu family, there were several skilled guys who also pulled out weapons from their luggage.

The Yang family was not so easy to deal with. They actually threw their luggage onto the carriage, and the horse was ready to break through. At this time, Zhou Rui stood up. "Everyone, if you have any tricks to put them away first, we can't see the sun tomorrow." Zhou Rui said lightly.

"What are you old?" The Yang family's escort spitted.

It seemed as if only a light flashed by. Zhou Rui had taken out his weapon, rushed over, and the blade pressed against the neck of the guard commander. "Although this is a buffer zone, it is also close to Yunzhou. It is barely considered Yunzhou. In Yunzhou, if you spit, urinate, throw dirty things in public places, and do not clean it up after advising you, you will be fined 5 taels or more, more than 200 taels or less, or less than 200 taels or less. If you refuse to enforce it, the Yunzhou military officer present will be detained.

. According to the management regulations of the four major prisons in Yunzhou and twelve city detention centers, those who perform poorly during the detention process, perform serious resistance, attempt to escape, and seriously violate the rules of detention management, shall be punished with a minimum of twenty military sticks and the maximum death penalty. If the additional sentence is more than two years, it must be verified by the local government. Detention and death penalty of more than fifteen years shall be approved by the Jinglifu Office. If there is no Jinglifu and Ye Tao signing, it will be deemed to be invalid....I omit the intermediate process and execute you directly."

"You... are you from the Yunzhou army?" Yang Ming frowned and asked nervously.

"That's right." Zhou Rui was too lazy to lie, it has always been. Moreover, now he needs to temporarily unite these people, so he doesn't care about hiding his identity. "The special camp is Zhou Rui."

As soon as Zhou Rui's name came out, the whole scene suddenly became quiet. The name was too loud. Although Zhou Rui did not accept assassination or something, he used various methods alone to assassin members of the Hawkeye group of the Daomingzong assassin group one by one. This incident caused a sensation in the entire Middle Earth continent, especially those with family backgrounds, who knew it more clearly. Zhou Rui is now generally considered the number one assassin in the world.

"Are you Ye Tao's subordinate?" The leader of the barbarian tribe thought for a long time before organizing the whole sentence clearly, brewing the pronunciations intact and clearly speaking them. This seems not to be rude.

Zhou Rui answered this question in the language of the northern tribe, which made the leader of the barbarians happy. Compared with the Chinese dialect, the language of the northern tribe is not necessary, but the "foreign language" is a relatively popular "foreign language". Although his level is not very good, it is fine to express his meaning. After a few words, the leader of the barbarians named Kagas agreed to temporarily obey Zhou Rui's orders and jointly defend the enemy.

"You guys prepare and move the arrows up. I need you to firmly hold the roof and ensure that no one can climb up the roof and no one can throw out the torch." This was Zhou Rui's order.

"Sister, it's up to you to this interior. There is only one exit here in the inn, and there is the barbarian behind it, and no one can climb over the wall to get in." Zhou Rui said to Jin Xiangyu: "From the Yang family, Duanmu family, what do you say?"

Yang Ming said with some dissatisfaction: "Then let me listen to you. This... is the courtesy of Yunzhou?"

Zhou Rui didn't care and was still thinking about what opportunity to make the Yang family die at the hands of the horse thief. Although he has revealed his identity now, at most he just carries a comment that is too small to resist the masses and cannot rescue. It is nothing at all. Most of them will get a lot of rewards in private, as well as a lot of points on the balanced scorecard.

The Duanmu family's manager took out a bronze medal from his arms and respectfully handed it to Zhou Rui, saying, "We didn't have the opportunity to stop and contact anyone all the way. This was given to us by Mr. Qi, who said that we were handed over to the trading company or the Ye family workshop, and there would naturally be someone to take care of him. Since the Duanmu family is here, although the Duanmu family has little strength, they should do their best to help him fight the enemy."

Zhou Rui nodded and said, "You, and the Yang family, are guarding all the windows separately, and there are archers and crossbows shooting separately. There are not enough people or the number of crossbows. Just find whatever you want to block the window. Let's start preparing now. Don't take too long to collect, my subordinates will arrive in at most half an hour."

Zhou Rui's words gave everyone great confidence. What kind of troops is the special battalion? This army that is always out of everyone's sight has no fixed base or a fixed training ground, but they are the perfect ace of Yunzhou. As long as they persist for half an hour, they will have the honor of this army.

Zhou Rui never deliberately showed his confidence or lack of confidence. When he climbed up on the roof and looked at the group of cavalry that was already surging on the dark horizon with a telescope, when these horse thieves launched the first wave of arrow attacks, this indifference became a calming force, which prevented the entire inn from panic.

"It's not the horse thief, but the flying tiger camp. Gao Senqi is really not good at learning, and he actually pretends to be this... It seems that you two groups of people, or you have to add you, the guests from afar, are really valued." Zhou Rui's eyes seemed to be saying: It's so troublesome, it's really a waste of effort.

Kagas snorted and climbed up to the roof. His entourage handed him a longbow that was almost as tall as others. Kagas slapped the arrow, pulled the bow round, and shot the first arrow with a swagger...

Even though I have been watching Zheluo practice arrows, Zheluo's style is very different from this Kagas. Zheluo's characteristic is rapid shooting, which maintains extremely high accuracy when it comes to rapid shooting. The archers around Ye Tao are still of this type, and some are more extreme. For example, Chen Xiaolai is the so-called desperate speed shooter. I have never seen such an archer who rushed forward than an infantryman. However, Kagas is not like this. He is a long archer, a archer who can accurately hit and kill at a distance when other people's arrows have lost their power. When he is already in the opponent's range, he is actually not as useful as Zheluo. However, he does not shoot archery quickly, but has a steady and powerful performance. Moreover, the arrows he uses are all specially made.

Kagas shot three arrows in a row, and the arrows were all drawn in moving arcs, accurately nailing the thieves pretending to be horse thieves from the Flying Tiger Camp to the ground with the warhors. The arrow clusters used by Kagas were not even metal, but some kind of stone. Zhou Rui, who was very happy, picked up one and touched it. The density of the stones was very similar to that of metal, but this kind of stone was obviously not a meteorite, but something much more active. Zhou Rui could see that the arrow cluster emitted fluorescent light due to violent air friction, and even burst out a ball of fire when he concentrated his target.

When these cavalry approached a certain distance, when these barbarian warriors began to shoot in full swing, they really tried to suppress their opponents. Not to mention those who wanted to throw the torch, those who held the torch, they would not let go. Those who ran thousands of miles before coming here were obviously the best players in the tribes, and their part-time performance was amazing. The biggest feature of these people is that they are not afraid of death. Faced with the arrows flying towards them, they actually used the more solid leather armor they were wearing... Even in the archer camp in Yunzhou, with such careful armor, those archers would not take the initiative to do such things.

Jin Xiangyu moved a chair in the front hall of the inn and sat leisurely. The sound of arrows hitting the wall was so exciting, but Longmen Inn is not a shoddy building. The inn is at least a mixed structure of brick and wood. After all, in this northern place, the structure of the building is related to whether it can have enough ability to keep warm. At this time, the man in the store, who had never been named, held his knife and sat calmly in the yard behind, raising his head and counting stars...

The people around him looked at the barbarian and felt that they didn't know what to do. This guy looked stupid, but his ruthless move was simply outrageous. When an enemy jumped into the yard, the barbarian jumped up and cut the man into two completely symmetrical pieces from the middle and dropped it on the ground. Such an amazing performance also inspired the courage of the few people stationed in the backyard with him. They easily solved the few people who jumped into the yard.

The other party tried to attack like this and found that the close attack did not achieve any good results. He actually gathered again at about seven or eight hundred steps and stopped.

"Have we defeated them?" a guard of the Duanmu family asked timidly.

"It's early. If it were really a horse thief, the damage from this first attack would be enough to make them retreat, but they are not. There must be people they want to kill in the inn. They are the army, they are the elite, and they will sacrifice at will to achieve their goals." Zhou Rui said lightly.

"Negotiate with them... hand over the person they want, we...we...we...we don't need to die together." Although Yang Ming was a little hesitant, he finally said it. This is also the voice of some people.

"What if they were you?" Zhou Rui snorted coldly.
