Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 419 There is still Jing'an Cao?

It seemed that in the blink of an eye, five hundred cavalry rushed into the village of Xunjia.

Xun Qu stared blankly at these fully armed knights with bows and spears, watched them flow like clouds and flowing water into a half-moon arc, and surrounded all the panicked and bewildered people in Zhuangzi. I felt that my old heart was undergoing a huge shock, beating non-stop.

Under the moonlight, these knights were silent, not even making a sound.Even the war horses under their crotches only occasionally kicked their hooves or sneezed in contempt.The quiet moonlight shone on the armor of these knights, as if coating their hard and tight armor with a layer of mysterious light, flowing quietly, making them all look like warriors walking out of the moon palace.

It's not that Xun Qu has never seen cavalry before, but this is the first time he has seen such a lightning-quick and virginal iron cavalry.Judging from the calm and tense postures of these people, Xun Qu knew that as long as Xun You gave an order, his soldiers of less than two thousand would instantly become sacrifices to the swords and spears of this iron cavalry.

"Boy, what are you going to do?" After Xun Qu was shocked, a strong anger suddenly rose in his chest, and his beard trembled: "Could it be that you want to use force to force uncle?!"

Fortunately, Xun You's performance reassured Xun Qu a little.Seeing himself roaring, Xun You's proud and contemptuous face was instantly replaced by embarrassment. He hurried towards Xun Qu, saluted Xun Qu respectfully and said: "Uncle misunderstood, my nephew is also from the Xun family, How can it be possible to do something unfavorable to the Xun family? It’s just that this happened tonight, and I have to ask my uncle to come out to preside over the overall situation and clean up the house!”

Xun Qu understood. At the same time, he glared at Xun Qi who was still in a daze: Xun You is such a smart person. From the incident of the assassination just now and Xun Qi's narration, he immediately understood that there are still many hidden places in the Xun family. The Assassin Cao.He was almost assassinated tonight, how could he let it go?Even though he was willing to swallow this breath, as General Anyuan of the imperial court, he would never allow Yuan Benchu ​​to bully the Xun family like this!
Thinking of these, Xun Qu suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart.On the one hand, looking at his nephew who is arrogant and commanding soldiers and horses, he is gratified that he has a unique vision, and the Xun family has indeed produced a big man who can change the situation.

But on the other hand, he suddenly realized that his nephew was no longer the smart boy he had imagined—this made him feel a little sad again.

As a result, Xun Qu sighed deeply, and said, "Uncle is getting old, you can do what you want to do next." Xun Qu didn't say what to do, because he knew that since Xun You If you have already done this, there must be a way for him.

Xun You gave Xun Qu a strange look, he always felt that Xun Qu's reaction was not normal.But the matter was at this point, he didn't have time to think about it, and said to Xun Qi: "Brother Qi, do you still remember the family motto of the Xun family?"

Excited Xun Qi saw that Xun You still asked himself at this time, the blood from the wound seemed to rush to his face, and his face turned red with excitement: "How can I not know? This is something that every Xun family has asked for since they can remember. Keep it in mind, even if everyone in the Xun family has forgotten everything, they dare not forget this family motto."

"Okay," Xun You nodded, then suddenly turned around and shouted loudly: "The Xun family's family motto, don't seek to be known to the princes..."

"I only hope that righteousness will fill the universe!" As soon as Xun You finished speaking, hundreds of people among the surrounded people took a step forward in an instant, and shouted the last sentence.This action is what they will do every time they worship their ancestors. Therefore, even when they are surrounded by iron cavalry, they do it conditionally.

"Very good." Xun You waved his hand, bowed deeply to these people and said: "You haven't returned home for ten years, and you are unfamiliar with the members of the Xun family. Fortunately, the inheritance of family precepts has made my Xun family united. Everyone, Please come forward and stand behind me."

These people were honored by Xun You, and they didn't know what Xun You was going to do.He just felt that nothing bad would happen, so he obeyed his orders and stepped forward.But then, when these people stood still, they suddenly found that the knights on the horse raised their crossbows in an instant with the wave of the young man beside Xun You!

This move frightened everyone immediately, and even the Xun family members standing behind Xun You began to jump anxiously.But Xun You remained unhurried, and bowed to those people again: "Everyone, don't panic. You don't have any evil intentions, and you won't do things that hurt your loved ones and make your enemies happy. Next, everyone can be together." Step forward and pick out the person who I think is the least likely to be Yuan Shao's spies..."

Since Assailant Cao was formed just last year, it was only a year since these spies entered the Xun family.However, in the ancient farming society, the common people were reluctant to move their nests.The most turbulent year in Yuzhou was just the battle when Li Jue and Guo Si slaughtered Yingchuan and the emperor and Cao Cao pursued Yuan Shu. Other than that, Yuzhou remained relatively stable.That is to say, except for the refugees during this period, the rest may be Yuan Shao's spies.

With Xunqu Township, things are going smoothly.After Luo Lin gave the order, the torches were lit in Manzhuang, and the courtyard was brightly illuminated, and the Xun family recognized them.These Xun family members were anxious about their partners and neighbors being killed by mistake, so they began to identify them one by one from a long distance: "He Laoqi, come here quickly, we have been friends for decades, you will not be Yuan Shao's spy!"

"Hey, Lao Qi, come here quickly. We will be in-laws soon, you can't have anything to do... By the way, has your daughter agreed to marry me?"

"Butcher Zhou, hurry up too. I've bought pork in the village for six or seven years, and every time I'm short of catties. Although I blame you in my heart, I can't blame you right now."

"Liu Liuzi, you rascal, are you still stealing chickens and petting dogs? No one will save you at this time, so please wait to be shot like a hedgehog!"

"..."

It's a mess, but it's actually not messy at all.They are all old acquaintances of more than ten or ten years, and they are all names that can be called out easily, and they immediately recognize these hot spots.

However, in order to prevent those spies from making trouble.Xun You still asked Jin Yiwei and the knights to closely monitor everything in the encirclement, and the bows and crossbows were also swinging back and forth, making the chaos orderly and panic-free.After all, Xun You had expected this a long time ago, so he only called seven or eight people at a time.

Half an hour later, the Xun family recognized almost everyone, and there were only two adults left in the field, and none of them could be called by their names.At this time, Xun You invited out those old people who were sure that there were no suspicions, and began to identify again: "You, you, you, you, you, you don't usually communicate with the villagers, but this old man recognizes you, come quickly!"

Five or six came over, naturally I am grateful.Then it is identified by people, and the cycle repeats, and the number of people in the field is getting smaller and smaller.

In the end there were dozens of people left, Xun You didn't panic, and ordered Jin Yiwei to come forward with a knife to ask.Those with vicious faces, calluses on their fingers, burly bodies and capable martial arts at first sight were left at the end.

Seeing that the cover was about to be lost, the spies were terrified, but the encirclement of the cavalry was getting smaller and thicker, which made them completely lose the courage to resist.

In the end, the remaining 23 people were all taken down by Xun You: these people either spoke a Jizhou accent, or carried daggers on their bodies to assassinate.What's interesting is that Xun You viciously discovered that these 23 people were still vaguely divided into two factions.

Humans are social animals, and the more critical they are, the more they will inadvertently huddle together to keep warm.But those people like Tiancao are all in the same group, so there is no need to divide them into two factions?

Xun You couldn't figure it out, and was about to have Jin Yiwei interrogate overnight.Suddenly, Xun Qu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up: "You don't need to be so troublesome." Xun Qu pointed at the group of people who mostly spoke with a Jizhou accent, and said, "These should all be from Yuan Shao." Then, he He pointed at another group of people, and said leisurely: "These should be Cao Cao's subordinates, Jing'an Cao's subordinates..."

"Jing'an Cao?!" Xun You's face suddenly changed, he naturally knew Jing'an Cao.I finally understood why Xun Qu's face was so strange before: It turned out that Xun Qu didn't know that there was a spies in Xun Qu's family.Not only did he know, he even knew the factions of these people.But why is he? ...

"Boy, this is the end of the matter, and uncle will not hide it from you." Xun Qu finally sighed again, as if he had let out all the secrets in his heart, suddenly felt a little relieved, and joked: "Three under heaven You Jinyiwei are the only ones who are rich in spies, and you have never attacked the Xun family... However, I am more at ease when you are here. After all, these people can exist because I acquiesce."

"What?!" Xun You couldn't believe it, but after thinking about it for a while, his face suddenly turned pale: "Uncle, you are the three cunning rabbits?..."

Xun Qu nodded before Xun You finished asking, and then walked into Xun Qi's room automatically, and even called Xun You: "Come in, our nephew and uncle have a lot to say tonight."
