I don't want to be king

Chapter 399 Challenge
Cao Xiaohuan, Zhou Xun and others led nearly a thousand officers from Ankang Prefecture Yin and Dali Temple to arrest the rebels.

Cao Xiaohuan stood at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, dressed in black, letting the rain fall on her body, glanced at the closed gate, waved to the left and right, and said, "Enclose, don't let anyone go!
Those who dare to disobey will be killed without mercy! "

"Yes!"

The police behind him responded quickly, and someone immediately knocked on the door.

There was a bang bang, but there was no response from inside, and the door was still closed.

Cao Xiaohuan waved again, and the two policemen jumped over the high wall, and then there was a sound of swords clashing inside.

There was no need for Cao Xiaohuan to speak this time, a dozen policemen rushed into the courtyard directly.

After a while, with a few screams, the door opened from the inside.

The detectives kicked the corpses blocking the doorway and rushed in.

The servants and guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion were pushed to the ground by the arresters. Cao Xiaohuan went directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion without even looking at it.

The middle hall of the third courtyard was brightly lit. Qi Yong sat upright on a chair, looked at Cao Xiaohuan who was getting closer, took a sip of tea, and then said lightly, "Break into the old man's mansion, you know you should What crime?"

Cao Xiaohuan unfolded the imperial decree in his hand, and it was directly in front of Qi Yong's eyes, and he said with a smile, "My lord, we are following the Holy Majesty's decree to invite the Prime Minister to drink tea in Dali Temple."

"Drink tea?"

Qi Yong snorted coldly, "Is this the rule of law that you told the prince?"

Cao Xiaohuan smiled and said, "My lord knows what he has done."

Qi Yong said without moving, "Since the lord and I want to frame the old man intentionally, the old man really has nothing to say."

Cao Xiaohuan said, "My lord, please don't force me to do anything. If you have anything to say, let's wait until the Yamen of Dali Temple."

Qi Yong straightened his sleeves, and Shi Shi ran out of the hall.

Cao Xiaohuan followed behind him with a long knife in his hand.

Wang Tuozi came over and said in a low voice, "My lord, Qi Zhong is gone. I searched the whole mansion, but I can't find anyone."

Cao Xiaohuan stopped, and said with a cold face, "Look again, and dig three feet and find it for me."

This is the only son of the prime minister!

If he ran away, there would be one less card in He Wangye's hand!

Wang Tuozi said helplessly, "My lord, I searched for it myself, and there is nothing I missed."

He used to be a gentleman on Liangshang, and he knew all kinds of organs. When he saw a house, he knew where there was a secret passage and where there was a wall!

After Cao Xiaohuan heard about it, she was stunned. Even Wang Tuozi couldn't find it. It seemed that Qi Zhong was really not in the mansion.

She gritted her teeth and said, "This Fang Pi also eats for nothing, and he can't even keep an eye on anyone, so it's easy for people to run away!"

Wang Tuozi said, "My lord, what should we do now?"

Cao Xiaohuan said, "How about other places?"

Wang Tuozi said, "All the suspects have been arrested."

Cao Xiaohuan nodded and said, "Then go back to the government office first."

After leaving the prime minister's mansion, she personally asked Qi Yong to get into the carriage, and she rode a horse to stand by her side.

A team of a hundred people walked along the wide avenue to the prison of Dali Temple.

In the dead of night, the clacking of horseshoes was particularly loud on the street.

Cao Xiaohuan reined in the horse suddenly and shouted, "Protect the carriage!"

Then bursts of piercing sounds rang in my ears.

Arrows visible to the naked eye fell from the sky, and everyone drew their knives to block the arrows.

Cao Xiaohuan was led by Ankang Governor's men, most of them were of average skills, so he went to the Beijing camp to invite eleven people including Wang Tuozi, all of whom were above the fifth rank.

In the face of the sudden enemy attack, she and Wang Tuozi and others did not mess up at all, but those ordinary police officers did not have this ability, and many of them fell to the ground with arrows.

When some people saw their fallen companions, they were so frightened that they hid on both sides of the street.

All the arrows were aimed at Qi Yong's carriage. Although Cao Xiaohuan and the others dropped a lot of arrows, many of them still hit the carriage.

The two horses were frightened, they spread their hooves and were about to run forward, Cao Xiaohuan swung a knife and cut off the frame of the carriage.

The horse ran away, she lifted the frame of the cart with one hand, put it firmly on the ground, and immediately swung the knife to cut off the arrow.

Cao Xiaohuan was so anxious that she had blown her whistle a long time ago, but there was no movement at all!

She regretted being too careless!
Originally, he thought that Ankang City's masters were like clouds, and now they came out to perform the task, just going through the motions, who would have thought that they would be attacked!
Now that he brought so many worthless people out, he was actually powerless to fight.

The arrows in the sky gradually decreased. Of course, she would not think that the enemy had retreated. Just as she was wondering what was going on, one group after another fell from the roofs on both sides of the road.

Seeing the shining sparks on the burden, she was taken aback, she was so familiar!
Dynamite pack!
A dynamite pack only found in the Sanwa Army!

Damn Mo Shun!
How did you let this killer out!
Sitting in Qi Yong's carriage, there were explosive bags all over the front, back, left, and right. Cao Xiaohuan wanted to throw away the explosive bags one by one, but it was too late.

In the nick of time, with a loud roar and force with both palms, the carriage was directly pushed to the side of the road, and then amidst the explosion of explosives, she blew the whistle louder, and finally pointed at Wang who was next to her. Tuozi said, "Go and ask for help!"

The monk has been promoted to a grand master.

Today, in Ankang City, Wang Tuozi can be said to be the number one lightness kung fu under the great master!

Even in this world, there are very few who can catch up to him!

"You hold on for a while!"

Wang Tuozi didn't say anything, if he kept it, the two of them would die together!

If he left, he might save two people!

In the sky full of flames, more and more explosive packages fell on the ground, and the noise became louder and louder.

After Cao Xiaohuan knocked down a few crackling explosives, he was about to turn around and continue to protect the carriage, when another group of men in black appeared in midair.

Explosive packs continued to fall regardless of enemy or friend.

There were only three companions around Cao Xiaohuan, and they were besieged by a group of men in black, and they had no time to take care of the carriage.

In desperation, Cao Xiaohuan, who is the eighth rank, tried his best to cut one knife at a time, without any hesitation!

In a breath, he turned his head again, terrified, the carriage sitting in Qi Yong was surrounded by flames.

"Master Qi!"

With one up and down, he hurried to the carriage and slashed open the carriage, but Qi Yong was not seen.

The assassin in black ran away.

All that was left was the corpses all over the ground and the flames all over the sky.

"Like all movies, the police don't come until after the person is dead."

In the middle of the night, Lin Yi was woken up, and he was upset at first, but when he heard that Qi Yong was kidnapped, he became even more furious.

Pan Duo, Zhang Mian, Ma Jie, Chen Jingzhi, Wei Yishan, and Cao Xiaohuan, who were kneeling on the ground, couldn't understand Lin Yi's words and just kowtowed.

Lin Yi continued, "I usually hear your cowhide blowing loudly. There are five and six ranks as many as dogs, and nine ranks and great masters walking sideways. I thought you were kings, but in the end you were only bronze."

Cao Xiaohuan kowtowed and cried, "This subordinate is guilty! Please punish me!"

Jiao Zhong looked at Cao Xiaohuan whose head was bleeding, his heart twitched in distress.

"It was a premeditated, organized crime,"

Lin Yi snorted coldly and said, "Qi Yong could have left directly, but he was captured in front of you, and he came out halfway, what is this?
This is a demonstration, a declaration of war!

It's shit on the king's head! "

He was used to walking along the windward path, and when he encountered a blow occasionally, he actually felt a little uncomfortable.

Pan Duo said in a deep voice, "This subordinate's intelligence error is the reason for today's disaster!
The subordinates are willing to do their best! "

Zhang Mian said, "It is an unforgivable crime for this subordinate, as the commander of the army and horses, to let Xiao Xiao run rampant!"

Wei Yishan followed suit, "The Beijing camp's dispatch was not effective, and the rescue was not timely, which caused the bandits to flee, subordinate."

"okay,"

Lin Yi directly interrupted, "Now is not the time to settle accounts with you guys, hurry up and dig out these bastards for me!

Live to see people, die to see corpses!
Also, how did the gunpowder get out?
Check it out! "

Pan Duodao said, "I checked the Ordnance Bureau and the Beijing Warehouse overnight, and checked the entry and exit. They are all normal. I am afraid that the method of making explosives has been leaked."

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Then why are you still standing there!

All craftsmen who master gunpowder technology, let me find out the details!

Let's see who has the guts!
Take Lao Tzu's words as a deaf ear! "

"Yes!"

The crowd responded with a bang.

This time, the men and horses of the Jingying, Tingwei, and Bingmasi were dispatched directly, and the entire city was mobilized.

Ankang City was in a state of chaos for a while, and everyone was in danger. Even on the day when he and the prince attacked the city, Ankang City had never been so chaotic.

Zhu Rourong was woken up in his sleep, opened the door, and saw that the officers and soldiers standing in front of him were unknown to him, so he reluctantly handed over his butcher's account, and then let the search be made.

After the person left, he closed the door again and yawned, "Damn, what's going on?"

After pouring the butcher Gululu a large pot of herbal tea, he said, "You understand, right?

No job, no power, who treats you as their own family?

To be honest, if people ask you what, you just do it. "

Rourourong said angrily, "I'm asking you what happened, what are you talking about?"

Jiang the butcher spread his hands and said, "You still don't understand, we are nothing, if something happens, our eyes are darkened, you don't know anything."

"It looks like something big has happened."

After Zhurou Rong grunted, he slapped his thigh suddenly and said, "It can't be because someone rebelled?"

Jiang Tuhu said, "It's probably similar to rebellion, when did you see this battle?

They knocked on every door and searched every door, even the sweet potatoes in your cellar were dug out for you. "

As he spoke, he kicked the messy sweet potatoes on the ground, "Mother, you have to eat them quickly, some of them have sprouted."

Zhu Rourong said to himself, "Look at this posture is going to be messed up, no, I can't let my wife and children come back so soon, let's wait a few days."

The butcher rolled his eyes at him and said, "You think our Sanhe people are made of mud?

No matter how capable you are, how can you turn against the sky under our hands?
You, now your courage is getting smaller and smaller. "

"Fuck off, I'm not afraid of attacking cities and territories among thousands of troops, but those women don't know martial arts, and the children are young, and I can't really wear my trousers every day. Do you dare to risk them?"

Rourourong said angrily, "Damn, I'll go to the port of Qizhou and wait until we talk. If the situation in the city is not right, we can settle outside the city first."

"To put it bluntly, I still have no confidence in Wei Yishan and the others."

He teased the butcher, but he knew in his heart that as long as he was not really stupid, he would not joke about the lives of his wife and children.

Those who know kung fu will not be afraid of traveling north and south, but it is a bit difficult to protect their wives and children in times of war.

While the two were talking, the door was knocked again.

Rourou Rong cursed while opening the door, "Check!

What is there to check!

I am a Sanhe supplier myself, so I can't trust anyone! "

"Pork Rong, who are you talking about?"

Hearing this voice, Rourou Rong suddenly raised his head, and said in surprise, "Young Master Ye"

Ye Qiu's younger brother, why did Ye Chen come to see him?
No, his eyes were looking at the general butcher.

Ye Chen cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to the two uncles."

The butcher smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, you are welcome. The room is simple. If you don't mind it, come in and sit."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands towards Zhang Shun who was carrying a red gift box behind Ye Chen.

Zhu Rourong poured tea from the tea bowl, and seeing Ye Chen focused on talking to the butcher, he moved aside with interest.

"Young master Ye, what's the point of knowing that people don't speak secretly?"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the butcher finally got a little impatient. Although he knew Ye Qiu, he had no connection with the Ye family at all!

Moreover, the business of the two is even more irrelevant.

Like Pork Rong, he is just a pork seller!
"Uncle really speaks quickly,"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "My little nephew really has something to ask for."

There was an unnatural smile on the butcher's face.

uncle?

I think highly of him!

It is true that he has made a small fortune over the years, but compared to the Ye family, it is a drop in the ocean!
On weekdays, if people can look at him straight in the eye, it's really amazing!

"Young Master Ye is too polite, I can't afford it."

"Zhou Xun's uncle must have known it. As the saying goes, a gentle lady is a gentleman."

"No, wait a minute, what ball?"

Interrupt the butcher directly to ask.

Ye Chen was stunned, he had thought about everything, but he didn't expect that the butcher would not understand, so he could only repeat, "I want to ask my uncle to find a matchmaker for me and Zhou."

The butcher smiled and said, "Good thing."

Ye Chen cupped his hands and said, "Please also pay more for your help. After the matter is completed, there will be a big thank you."

Butcher Jiang shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I really can't help you with this."

"Why?"

Ye Chen never expected that the butcher would refuse so quickly.

The butcher sighed, "Young Master Ye, I appreciate you, but I can handle my weight. I am an official and I am a citizen. Can I speak?"

Ye Chen said unwillingly, "But you and the Zhou family are neighbors on the left and right, and you have a close relationship with Zhou Xun's father. Uncle can still say a few words no matter what."

"It seems that the young master has inquired about it before."

The butcher smiled and said, "The young master must know that Zhou Xun and his father, the old man Zhou, are enemies, so let me talk about it?"

Ye Chen smiled wryly, "Then I won't force you."

He forgot about it.
