Chapter 101 Murder and Murder

On the autumn night in Suzhou, September is not cool, and there is also the warmth of summer.

The big ship can enter Suzhou from the canal, dozens of men from the middle of the Yangtze River, quickly descending from the big ship, and several boxes placed at the bottom of the boat were also carried out.

Xu Jie looked at these big boxes and asked, "Uncle Second, what is in this box?"

Xu Zhong was already walking with a cane and replied concisely: "A murderous thing."

Xu Jie seemed to not understand, but Xu Laoba beside him smiled and said, "Jie'er, a sharp weapon, a hard crossbow in the army!"

Xu Jie was shocked when he heard this and suddenly remembered that the men of the Xu family around him were all those who died in the army back then, but this hard crossbow was controlled by the court and was kept privately by the people, which was a serious crime. Those with low identities had a strong bow and a hard crossbow, and were interned for three to ten years. Those with noble identities had this thing in private, which was even more serious crime, and even arguing about treason. Xu Jie had never had this thing in Xujia Town. Suddenly lifting these boxes from the boat, Xu Jie was already a little surprised.

"Uncle Eight, where did this thing come from?" Xu Jie asked.

"Hehe... the eldest brother said he wanted to go to Jiangnan to kill people, so Uncle Ba walked to the county town for more than 2,000 taels of silver, and then he turned out all the hard crossbows that could be used in the county warehousing. Most of them were ordinary military goods, and there were a few excellent ones. After putting them on the string, they could shoot 200 steps." Xu Laoba smiled distractedly. Perhaps this Xujia Town belonged to Xu Laoba, who was the most courageous. Xu Zhong was not as good as Xu Laoba. Xu Laoba was also the first person to propose to make a living in the world. In comparison, Xu Zhong was a relatively conservative person.

Xu Jie was still a little surprised when he heard this. It is normal for the government to have a hard crossbow. Even in Qingshan County, there are only the 100th Imperial Guards stationed in the warehousing. There are some strong bows and hard crossbows in the warehousing warehouse, but the county imperial guards have never practiced these things. However, the officers in this county dared to sell the crossbows privately, which is not so simple.

This court, the imperial guards, and the Dahua Dynasty were beyond Xu Jie's usual perception.

Seeing Xu Jie's face was surprised, Xu Zhong also spoke, "Since you want to kill someone, you're going to kill them, and the crossbow is just right, and the brothers are just taking advantage of it."

Xu Laoba also smiled and said, "Jie'er, if you are accompanied by a hundred and ten strong horses and the uncles will gallop, it will be majestic. You don't know that when we were waiting in the border town, thousands of riders were roaring around, and it was so uncomfortable."

Xu Laoba joked, but Xu Jie seemed to have heard it and replied, "Uncle Ba, I will go out again in the future and I will definitely find some horses for you to make you feel more happy."

When Xu Laoba heard this, he smiled slightly and thought Xu Jie was joking. Horses were more strictly controlled than this crossbow. If you buy one or two horses to decorate the storefront for transportation, it would be a good idea. If you really want to buy a large number of horses, even the horse vendors who smuggle horses would not dare to do such a business. If you are not careful, if the government pursues it, you will definitely be a serious crime.

Xu Jie looked up and looked at the farmers in Xujia Town around him in the moonlight. They were all very strong. After putting down their hoes and putting on their knives, they were full of momentum. Xu Jie could even think of their power in the battle formation, and the heroic spirit of these men who had crossed war horses, wore heavy armor, held swords, guns, bows and crossbows, and fought bloody battles on the battlefield.

The night is getting darker, Qionglong Mountain is not tall, and it is even a little low. There is a wall on the top of the mountain, and the inner wall is where the Heart-Demon Gate is located.

Most of the houses inside the walls were already dark, with only the lights in the middle hall, and there were a few figures flashing in them.

Some people even angrily scolded: "President Wang, you are so timid, what is the use of me? Ouyang Zheng has not dared to do it for a long time. Now, if you have a little work with you, you will be even more concerned about him. He is as timid as a mouse. What else can you do?"

Wang Wei heard the scolding, frowned, stepped forward and bowed, and then replied, "Your Majesty, you are not as timid as a mouse. It is easy to kill Ouyang Zheng. As long as you borrow the power of others, you can get it clean. It is really difficult to kill the Prince of Guangyang. The Prince of Guangyang must have masters from the Golden Palace Guard beside him. Let's not talk about whether he can be assassinated successfully. Even if this is done, I'm afraid of this with Qionglong Mountain..."

The person who scolded Wang Wei was naturally Xia Han, so he heard Xia Han say again: "President Wang, I will ascend the throne soon, but you are still afraid that your life will not be saved. As long as you accomplish this, I will ascend the throne soon. Where will there be any Golden Palace Guards and Imperial Guards come to find you?"

Wang Wei, a man who was the only one in the world, was scolded by another person repeatedly, and felt unhappy, but he did not dare to show it. Half of the reason for this dilemma was caused by Wang Wei himself. Now he was thrown under King Xia Han of Wu, so how could Wang Wei get off the ship again?

However, Wang Wei could not know the risks of assassinating the prince. However, when he looked up at King Xia Han of Wu, Wang Wei had to take back the words of rejection and said, "Prince, I have to settle Ouyang Zheng's affairs and go to Beijing. If you want to assassinate King Guangyang, you still need to make a long-term plan and find a suitable opportunity to succeed in one blow. If the prince can send a few more masters to accompany you, you should be more confident."

Wang Wei had no choice but to delay the matter first, and whether he could kill Guangyang Wang Xia Wen in the capital was the second question. But even if he wanted to kill, Wang Wei knew that it would be difficult for him to succeed alone. As long as there was a innate master around King Guangyang, even if Wang Wei could win, it would not be a moment before King Guangyang would have escaped.

Wang Wei's eyes were already behind Xia Han, and he knew that there was one person behind Xia Han who was a congenital person who could help. Only in this way could he succeed.

Xia Han looked back at Wang Wei's eyes, frowned, and immediately replied: "He can help you, but you can only do the murder."

The person behind Xia Han was from the Golden Palace Guard. Although he was already a confidant, Xia Han naturally had selfish thoughts. He was afraid that if something happened, Xia Han should have a way out. As long as the matter came, he would definitely stop at Wang Wei and not cause any trouble.

How could Wang Wei not understand Xia Han’s intention? But he could only nod.

The night was as bright as water, and in the middle of the night, dozens of men had already come up to Qionglong Mountain. Everyone was hiding in a forest.

Xu Jie and Xu Laoba approached the Heart-breaking Gate and walked slowly along the wall. After walking around, they looked back after checking the terrain.

Xu Jie squatted on the ground, took a small stone and drew a circle on the ground, and said, "Second uncle, it's okay to escape some people this time, but Wang Wei must die. The crossbow and Wang Wei are not very useful. You can lie outside the wall to shoot and kill the fugitives. There is no need for too many people entering, including the second uncle, the eighth uncle, the fat man, the leader He, Jiyue, Shuhuan, Xiaodaoer, and me. When we go in, we will surround and kill them as soon as we find Wang Wei. The fugitives will chase them again. The uncles are waiting outside the wall with crossbows. I have also checked the ambush, so it's best in these places."

Xu Jie kept drawing on the ground, and also talked about the characteristics of the terrain.

Xu Zhong nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and did not interrupt, but looked at Xu Laoba a few times, and finally said, "Jie'er is thoughtful in planning."

Xu Laoba smiled and said, "Hehe... Jie'er has a bit of a style of leading troops and generals, it's really not bad."
