Chapter 1701 The Honorable Assassin
The queen came out of the house, and someone shouted loudly at the entrance of the village: "Bring everyone here, search every house carefully, and don't miss a place!"
Several soldiers entered the house with their guns, poked the haystacks with long spears, but they quickly retreated. The cavalry soldier had waved his sword and ordered the infantry to drive Chu Huan and others to the jujube tree in the village.
Most of the forty or fifty people in the village gathered here, and the drizzled heavily. The cavalry general shouted twice, and the soldiers at both ends of the village left five or six people, while the others lined up and came to the village with their guns.
The cavalry general glanced at him, rode on his horse, and asked, "Who is the custodian in the village?"
An old man over 60 years old came out and said, "Mr. Bing, Xiao Lao is the chief security officer. May I ask Mr. Bing, what's the point of doing you come here?"
A cavalry next to him said in a deep voice: "This is our Songzhou Army Fu Qianhu. I'll ask you, are there any strangers in the village coming here?"
The old man hesitated for a moment, turned around, glanced at the crowd, and landed on Chu Huan. Seeing the officers and soldiers being cold and guns, he knew that the matter was important, so he raised his hand and pointed at Chu Huan and said, "Those are the villagers who were passing by."
Fu Qianhu stared at Chu Huan, shook the reins of the horse, came forward, arrived beside Chu Huan, looked at it, and sneered, "Where are you from?"
"We... came from Yuling Road to avoid the war." Chu Huan said, "We want to go to Hexi to join our relatives."
"Go to Hexi?" Fu Qianhu's eyes first fell on Qi Hong, and then looked at Mei Niang and the queen behind Chu Huan. Mei Niang was standing next to the queen at this moment. She couldn't know whether the queen would take this opportunity to escape, so she seemed to be standing next to the queen, but in fact she controlled the queen in her hands and waited for the queen to move slightly and immediately took action.
"Swish!"
The sword flashed, and Fu Qianhu's big sword suddenly took action, which was already pressing against Chu Huan's throat. With Chu Huan's reaction, it was easy to avoid it, but he did not dodge. Instead, he pretended to be shocked. The blade was just a stone's throw away from Chu Huan's throat, and the cold air blew. Fu Qianhu sneered: "You are not refugees. To be honest, who are you?"
When Chu Huan heard his question, he knew that their target seemed to be not him, otherwise the other party would not have been too much trouble, but he carried his hands on his back, coughed and said lightly: "Are you a Qianhu in Songzhou?"
When Fu Qianhu saw that Chu Huan was actually proud, he frowned and said coldly: "Not bad."
"Since Fu Qianhu has seen it, I won't hide it." Chu Huan said: "My owner has some identity, but it is inconvenient to reveal it. We are indeed going to Hexi, but we are just in a mess along the way, so we disguised ourselves to avoid trouble."
"Oh?" Fu Qianhu's eyes were still cold.
Chu Huan stared at Fu Qianhu's eyes and said, "Mr. Qianhu should know that the capital is in its fall, and the capital is now full of war, so... hehe, we are escorting our family to Hexi first, but this is not easy to tell people, Fu Qianhu should understand."
Fu Qianhu looked at Qi Hong and saw that although the queen was wearing a coarse cloth clothes, her elegant and luxurious temperament could not be concealed. In addition, Mei Niang seemed to understand something, and her face suddenly eased a little.
He was in the officialdom and naturally understood that some officials were in front of him, worried about their family members and secretly transferred their family property to leave, but they did not dare to be known by too many people. They were stolen in private, but there were also many.
At this moment, a cavalry suddenly rode over and said, "Mr. Qianhu, there is a room that has been closed and no one has come out. It seems that there is something wrong!"
Fu Qianhu turned his horse's head and looked up. He saw more than a dozen soldiers blocking a room. There were three rooms in line with a fence yard in front of it. The room was pitch black and the door was closed.
"Whose family belongs to that?" Fu Qianhu glanced at the chief insurance officer. This house was quite generous in this village.
The security chief hurriedly said: "That's from Changhe's family, who works as a job in the county, or a house built in the first two years."
"How many people are there in the house?"
"Just only his wife, two children, and his old father." The security chief explained: "Changhe has been in the county these days and has not come back."
"His family is all in the house?"
"Yes, I saw them last night." The chief of security frowned, glanced at the crowd, and asked, "Did the Changhe family come out?"
The villagers looked at each other and shook their heads.
Fu Qianhu said in a deep voice: "Fence up!"
The cavalry immediately made a gesture, and a large group of soldiers rushed over and surrounded the house. Chu Huan was surprised to see this and thought to himself that the group of officers and soldiers really came to capture the assassin. Hearing what the soldiers said before, it seemed that the magistrate of Songzhou was stabbed and the magistrate was stabbed. This was naturally a great event, but I don’t know who the assassins were.
When he knew that when the Tianmen Road in the southeast was in trouble, he liked to send a large number of assassins to serve officials of all sizes, resulting in the local group of headless dragons, causing local turmoil, and then taking advantage of the situation to start.
Could it be that Tianmen Dao had already begun to cross the Fen River and kill Hujin Dao, so he sent assassins to assassinate, but the officers and soldiers found the traces and then came over.
I randomly think that it is possible for the Tianmen Dao assassin, but it should be impossible to attack Hujin so quickly. Although the Tianmen Dao's military front has entered the capital of Yuling Road, it will not be possible to consume the huge Yuling Road in three or two months. Moreover, with the Fen River barrier, Tianmen Dao will never rashly send troops before it is fully prepared.
"Sir, there seems to be a shadow in the house!" Another cavalryman urged his horse to come over and whispered: "There must be someone in the house."
Fu Qianhu sneered, "It must be the assassin inside, so let everyone be careful. Those assassins have great martial arts, not ordinary people..." His eyes rolled, and he waved his soldiers to approach him. He said a few words. The soldier took the order and directed the man to find a large number of tied hay from the village, and then piled it around the house. Chu Huan knew in his heart that Fu Qianhu seemed to be quite afraid of the assassins in the house, so he was about to burn the house and force the assassin out.
After the haystack was ready, Fu Qianhu immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Listen to the people in the room, it's still time to come out now, otherwise there will be no mercy to kill!"
There was a silence in the house at first. Fu Qianhu raised his hand and ordered the fire. Finally, a voice came from the house: "Fu Qianjun, Gu Hong is so ruthless. The following is the best. The crime should be 10,000. Your small Qianhu, leads troops to come. Can't you rebel?"
Chu Huan paused for a moment and felt quite familiar, but he couldn't think of where he had heard it for a while. But he just heard the meaning of the words. In his eyes, the Qianhu of Songzhou seemed not worth mentioning. The words "The great rebellion and the following are the best" were even more interesting. As for Gu Hong, Chu Huan knew that he was the assassinated governor of Songzhou.
Fu Qianhu sneered: "Pretending to be a ghost, you can escape from Songzhou City, but you can't escape from Songzhou. Ben Qianhu knew that someone was injured by you, so he advised you to come out and surrender."
The voice inside the room also sneered: "Fu Qianjun, do you know who I am?"
"No matter who you are, assassinating the magistrate is a rebellion, and you will naturally be arrested and brought to justice."
The voice in the room said, "Gu Hongyi Prefecture's magistrate, when he received my letter, he left the house to go to the appointment, but he was ungrateful, so I naturally would not allow him to leave. Fu Qianjun, if you serve me, I can make you the governor of Songzhou. What do you think?"
Fu Qianhu suddenly burst into laughter, without saying anything more. With a wave of his hand, several torches were immediately thrown on the haystack. Although it was drizzling, the hay was ignited by the fire and immediately started to burn quickly. In just a moment, there were already a raging fire around the house. Most of the houses in the village were made of wooden structures and could easily be swallowed by the fire. The people in the village were extremely anxious when they saw the fire burning, for fear of causing harm to the fish in the pond and burning their own houses, but who dared to say more at this moment?
"Clang!"
The gate suddenly sounded, and the soldiers outside the door couldn't help but retreat, but saw a man walking out of the house with his hands on his back. He was wearing a green scarf and a long blue gown. The firelight shone his face very clearly, his face was thin, and his face looked slightly pale. Chu Huan looked over from afar and saw the figure through the gap between the figures of the officers and soldiers. He found it very familiar. He frowned and thought for a moment. His body suddenly shook and his pupils dilated slightly.
Seeing this, Qi Hong leaned closer and whispered: "What's wrong?"
"It's him..." Chu Huan looked solemn, "How could it be..."
At this time, he saw several figures appearing behind the man, and followed him out. Chu Huan saw it from afar, and his hands couldn't help but clench his fists, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The man in front of him was carrying his hands on his back, and the soldiers beside him were aimed at the few people coming out of the house. Fu Qianhu also clenched the knife and said in a deep voice: "Take it down!"
The soldier was about to come forward to capture it, and the man said coldly: "I see who dares to move without any action!"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked and thought to themselves that they were here to capture the assassin. Why did the assassin call himself "I"?
However, this person has a cold temperament, but his voice is not angry and powerful. The soldiers did not dare to go forward for a moment. The room behind was already full of fire and thick smoke. In the rainy night, the thick smoke scattered everywhere.
"Fu Qianjun, open your eyes wide. Even if you don't recognize this king, you are still Qianhu, who is not even aware of this, right?" The man raised one hand and raised it halfway. Fu Qianhu slapped his horse and took a few steps forward. Under the fire, it was extremely bright. At this time, he found that the man was holding a round jade token in his hand, which was very exquisitely crafted. There seemed to be words engraved on the jade token, but he couldn't see clearly for a moment. The man obviously knew that Fu Qianhu couldn't see clearly, so he threw the jade token over. Fu Qianhu reached out to catch it, looked carefully, and looked at it with a look of horror on his face, "This is the royal jade token, you... you are the King of Han!"
