Chapter 837 The Unexpected Person
Liu Jin only knew that the current emperor was looking for a fugitive named Yu Chengsi, and he knew the general appearance, but he didn't know the relationship between this fugitive and Shangguan Jin. If he had known in advance, Liu Jin would have risked everything for a long time ago.

But the affairs of the world have long been determined in the dark, because of Liu Jin's half-knowledge, and because of Shangguan Jin's slowness, the situation became out of control later on.

"General Shangguan, it's more serious. The general doesn't rest in the mansion. Why did he come to such a remote Beicheng, and he is still in this courtyard specially prepared for refugees?"

Liu Jin was struggling in his heart. He was wondering if there was a way to get the best of both worlds, not to offend the general but also to capture the fugitive, so he was trying to stall for time.

"It seems that there is no need to report to Master Liu about this general, right?"

Shangguan Jin's heart is also anxious. It's Haishi now, and Liu Jin's torment just now has alarmed the people around him. This place is very close to the North City Gate. Although the North City Gate is remote, the deployment of troops is not bad at all. Well, there are three or four guards alone, and there are hundreds of Bing Yong. If there is a commotion here, the guards will come to support within half a stick of incense.

The yard is only a little bit bigger than this star, so it is basically impossible to escape, you can only force your way in, but Shangguan Jin has led soldiers on the battlefield for many years, so of course he would not be so stupid as to think that this Liu Jin only brought these few soldiers from the house. Maybe the outside of the courtyard has already been surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.

"General Shangguan, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, and the general is even more valuable as the first-rank general of the current dynasty. The fifth-rank officials in the lower official district should not be so ignorant in front of the general, but as the general said, our duty is, Also please be gentle with the general, I will wait until the secret room to search, if no one gets down, I will personally go to the general's mansion to plead guilty, and let the general handle it!"

Although Liu Jin was born in the army, his many years of infiltration in the officialdom has taught him how to speak politely, knowing how to speak beautifully without offending others, and can reduce the boredom of the other party after expressing what he wants to express.

"In this secret room are the general's family members. Does Mr. Liu want to search it?"

The word "family member" has a wide range of interpretations, but in Liu Jin's ears at this time, he naturally interpreted what he thought was the most likely one, that is, this Shangguan Jin raised a concubine outside or something like that. women, maybe even courtesans.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in rich families. The first-law wife in the family is strict, and the men dare not blatantly bring people into the house and settle them outside. There are even men who just like this. The principle of looking for this kind of taboo feeling of sneaking.

In normal times, when Liu Jin heard this sentence, he would have understood it and left with a haha, but at this time, even if Shangguan Jin had said something, Liu Jin did not give up the idea of ​​entering the secret room to search.

"Please forgive me, General Shangguan!"

"What if the general refuses?"

Shangguan Jinjiu was on the killing field, and his aura was beyond the reach of Liu Jin, a military general who spends his days in Qingyun City. As long as his face darkened a little, it would be like a dark cloud.

"Then the official can only offend!"

At this juncture, Liu Jin was already in a difficult position to ride a tiger. Anyway, he had offended him, so he might as well offend him to the end.

"Liu Jin, don't force this general to do something!"

Shangguan Ning, who was hiding in the wing room, heard Shangguan Jin's words, and the sarcasm in her heart became stronger. This father always claimed to be calm and steady, but as a general, he was not at all like the generals recorded in the history books. , but the military power is tightly held, and it is very comfortable to deal with various conspiracies and frame-ups, so even impeachment cases have been very rare in the past ten years.

But now, because of such an adopted son who refuses to recognize him, he is willing to turn against his colleagues. If this is stabbed in front of the Holy Spirit by someone with a heart, it is a serious crime of obstructing official duties, shielding criminals, and even shielding the enemy's spies. Shangguan Jin knows that Still did it!
"Come on!"

Liu Jin yelled to the outside of the house, and some of the soldiers who had been guarding the gate of the courtyard rushed into the house with a clatter, completely enclosing the small room.

"General Shangguan, I will say it again for the last time, will the general give way?"

Shangguan Jin went to the battlefield at the age of 14. He started as a low-level soldier. At the age of 17, he was promoted to the third-rank general Baowei through his own efforts. More than ten times, at the age of 20, he was in the first rank, and he was in charge of 50 elite Qingyun troops.

Shangguan Jin's voice was truly a flourish of flowers, he had always been high above him, slamming Fang Qiu, he had never been threatened by others like this, his anger surged up for a moment, his eyes were like fine bells.

"Master Liu is going to force his way in. This general has been guarding the frontier for more than ten years. The sword in this hand has drunk the blood of many dogs. I never thought that today it will be stained with the blood of my comrades!"

Shangguan Jin held the sword in front of his chest, and his handsome face was slightly moved. He knew that once his sword fell, there was no possibility of missing it. These brave soldiers were young children, maybe only sixteen or seventeen years old. The older one is only in his early twenties, but he can't be soft-hearted, because if he doesn't swing the sword in his hand today, then his child will be captured and his life will not be known.

"Soldiers, you are all elite troops of the Bingma Division. With the salary of the imperial court, we have to share the worries of His Majesty. Now the criminal is in the secret room behind the general. Since the general refuses to let us go, we can only force him Chuang, if any criminals are caught today, I will ask Shangfeng for an order and reward you with a hundred taels of silver!"

Liu Jin paused for a moment. He knew that the money was far more realistic than those promises of promotion, and it could stimulate the enthusiasm of the soldiers.

"Soldiers, it's time to test you, let me do it!"

The soldiers who swarmed in from the outside hadn't figured out the situation yet. Liu Jin was very cunning. He only mentioned Shangguan Jin's official position, but he didn't mention it. Timid, but the official position of general is much more vague, there are generals of seventh and eighth rank who are called generals!

The soldiers didn't know the situation, but they clearly knew the purpose of their trip, and now they heard Mr. Liu's promise, and everyone was eager to fight. 100 taels of silver, that's enough to buy a few after retiring. Doing a little business on the mu of land, and marrying a charming little lady, no one can bear to let go of such a good thing.

Therefore, apart from the few soldiers who were in the room at the beginning, the soldiers who rushed in behind heard Liu Jin's order, they couldn't wait to rush up, waved the big knife in their hands, and went straight to Shangguan Jin to chop.

Shangguan Jin raised his right hand, and without moving his body, the sword brushed against the arm of one of the soldiers. The soldier's arm was injured, and the big knife in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.

Before Shangguan Jin's sword could be retracted, another broadsword came towards him, and what he made was a killer move. Shangguan Jin didn't have time to retract his right hand, so he had to raise his left hand, grasping it into a fist, and grabbed Xiaobing's wrist , Just heard a click, and the soldier's wrist was broken.

But after a while, a dozen soldiers fell down in front of Shangguan Jin, each of them was covering their wrists or protecting their arms. They were wounded, but none of the wounds were fatal.

Looking at Shangguan Jin again, although there are three or two drops of blood on the silver-white robe, the whole person has hardly changed his posture. , I'm afraid it will make people think that Mr. Pianpian of someone's family is admiring flowers on Moshang, with a tall body and a complexion like snow.

The rest of the uninjured soldiers surrounded Shangguan Jin, but they didn't dare to rush forward easily. They didn't know how this man was so powerful. They didn't even see clearly how this man made a move. Injured and fell down.

Money is important, but the premise is that there are life flowers!

Liu Jin didn't expect Shangguan Jin to be so brave. To be more precise, he didn't even think that Shangguan Jin would really fight with him. Although Shangguan Jin was in the first rank, he was indeed chasing fugitives. Shangguan Jin and his men Fighting against each other is obstructing official duties. The crime can be big or small. What is the relationship between the criminal inside and this person is worthy of Shangguan Jin's protection.

Just when Liu Jin was hesitating, a small soldier suddenly exerted force and stabbed at Shangguan Jin's chest with a big knife in his hand. Shangguan Jin's thoughts fell on Liu Jin, and he didn't notice the small soldier's move There was a change, and by the time he realized it, the little soldier's sword was already in front of his eyes. In desperation, Shangguan Jin could only use his own sword to make the big sword fly away.

Unexpectedly, this little soldier had a lot of brute force. If he hesitated, the knife would definitely cut directly into Shangguan Jin's chest. Liu Jin's face turned pale with fright, and the short man was also beating drums in his heart.

"stop!"

Before Liu Jin's voice fell, Xiaobing's movements stopped abruptly. Liu Jin heaved a sigh of relief, but saw Xiaobing suddenly fell to the ground straight up, the big knife in his hand was not released, but his eyes were closed and he lost consciousness.

Liu Jin hurried forward and checked his breath, the soldier was still alive!

Looking at Xiaobing again, there were no wounds, Shangguan Jin's sword was still in an upward posture, and his eyes were also staring at Xiaobing on the ground blankly.

He was sure that before he had time to make a move, this little soldier was definitely not his own.

What is going on, the person who made the shot obviously wanted to save himself, because even if he dodged the big knife of the little soldier just now, his shoulder would be injured nine out of ten, but the little soldier didn't have any wounds on his body, and the people in the room didn't look like that. There is such a profound kung fu.

"Look, my lord!"

The short man with sharp eyes picked up a pearl the size of a grain of rice from the fallen soldier and held it in front of Liu Jin.

Liu Jin quickly took out the few pearls that appeared above the mechanism in the secret room and compared them carefully. They were all the same in size and color, so there was no need to think that the two incidents were done by the same person.

That is to say, this person has been watching in the yard all the time, so he will shoot anytime and anywhere, but obviously, the first time this person wants to help him find the criminal, this time he wants to protect Shangguan Jin from harm .

If this is the case, this person's motivation is worth pondering. Since this person wants to help him find the criminal, he naturally has a grudge against the criminal. But now it seems that Shangguan Jin is determined to protect the criminal, but the other party Rescuing Shangguan Jin at this juncture, his behavior before and after was really contradictory.

When Shangguan Jin saw the pearl, his complexion suddenly became very ugly. He was no stranger to this pearl. It was a hidden weapon that the man used well. There are not many people, and that person is one of them.

But, when did that person appear here, and did he hear the conversation between himself and Shangguan Hongqun?
"The general's martial arts are excellent, but the general is alone after all, but there are dozens of hundreds of soldiers here. It would be bad if the swords and guns really hurt the general. The general should get out of the way!"

Liu Jin is not a fool, the one hiding in the dark must be a master. This person's intentions are unclear, whether he is an enemy or a friend, and he has learned Shangguan Jin's kung fu just now. If you continue to kill, you may not be able to take advantage of it.

"Master Liu knows that it is not the general's intention to hurt people. Just now, the general was able to show mercy. If Master Liu is more aggressive, then the general will not dare to guarantee the lives of these soldiers!"

The two started a new round of dialogue, but both of them tacitly did not mention the person hiding in the dark. Liu Jin felt that this person was strong in martial arts and he was not an opponent. He was flamboyant, but Shangguan Jin didn't want that person to get involved in this matter. At this moment, he had a vague feeling that the reason why Liu Jin was able to discover the mechanism of the secret room must be guided by someone, as for who is self-evident.

And the reason why that person was willing to intervene must have been instructed by Ning'er, the only person in the world who can drive this master away is probably his own daughter-in-law.

Shangguan Jin suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. He was ashamed of his daughter. He had always known that she hated and resented him. He also knew that she hated Shangguan Hongqun and the Qin family. He knew it well, he just didn't want to face it.

I don't know how I will choose one day when this child and my prostitute are placed at both ends of the balance. I hope that there will never be such a day!
"Here comes!"

Yan Mushang suddenly hugged Shangguan Ning tighter, and said next to Shangguan Ning's ear.

There are at least a hundred people on the other side. Most of them ride horses, and a small part of them run fast with the horses. These people walk lightly, and the sound of landing is very soft. It can show that these people are all armed with martial arts.

Although those horses have a good hoofbeat, they are by no means ordinary horses. Ordinary horses have hoofs nailed on their feet, and the sound of the hoofs hitting the ground is like drumming. However, the feet of these horses approaching from far seem to be wrapped in soft cloth, and the sound is dull and soft. , and the sound of advancing is uniform, indicating that these horses are all trained war horses, and the riders are very good at riding.

Just imagine, in the middle of the night, you can lead such a large number of elite troops to run rampant in the North City, even the horses are so well equipped, and the defenders of the North City will not interfere. I am afraid that there will be no second person in Qingyun City who can have such strength. Come.

However, Yan Mushang never expected that he would appear in this place.

"That one?"

Shangguan Ning obviously also guessed the identity of the other party. Shangguan Ning was no longer that simple and innocent little girl. She only needed to use her brain and look at Yan Mushang's expression to guess one or two.

Who is Yan Mushang, the most honorable prince of Dayong, the landlord of Zhushang Building who is so powerful in Jianghu, who can make Yan Mushang's face change color slightly, can guess with his toes, and he can guess roughly.

Yan Mushang nodded, Shangguan Ning Bingxue was smart and guessed right.

Shangguan Ning was shocked when she saw Yan Mushang nodding her head. When the officers and soldiers in the room appeared, she felt that things were a little unexpected, but now she has alarmed that person again. It is surprising that things will be so complicated. Shangguan Ning hadn't expected it before.

Looking at Shangguan Jin's expression just now, he should have guessed that Yan Mushang was in the yard, but for some reason, he did not point it out. If that person showed up and found Yan Mushang here, he might be in trouble!
Shangguan Ning looked at Yan Mushang worriedly, but unexpectedly, the other party returned her an alluring smile, almost dazzled seeing Shangguan Ning.

"Silly girl, your father not only guessed that I was in this yard, but also blamed all of this on you."

What Yan Mushang said was exactly what Shangguan Jin had in mind, but Shangguan Ning was not worried about her situation. As early as when she confronted the Qin family in Fuxi Pavilion, she was ready to break with her father, so It doesn't matter if it's there or not.

Like Yan Mushang, Shangguan Ning also returned a bright and watery smile to Yan Mushang. The two of them cuddled each other, their swords were tense outside, but their hearts were as warm as spring.

It seems that tonight, the two people surpassed all the previous ones, and they truly connected with each other, and they truly made each other a part of their lives. They became the only ones who trusted and cared the most in each other's lives.

But in an instant, the sound of horseshoes was close at hand, and the fire outside was bright. Unlike Liu Jin who came here in the dark, this group was obviously much more arrogant. The two leading palace men held lanterns, and the cornices of the lanterns were embroidered with gold and silk cloth. There are bright yellow tassels under the copper pole on the top, but the lampshade is not filled with candles, but a night pearl the size of a baby's fist.

A row of soldiers in the back, everyone has blue-gray beaded armor, a gold plate breastplate on the chest, scarlet robes, black and white fast boots underneath, with auspicious clouds and flying cranes embroidered on the toes, and a pure silver helmet The bright red sakura, each with a bright silver gun, looks majestic and majestic.

Behind them are the cavalry, tall and shiny black horses with straight manes, hooves like bowls, and gold-made falling stirrups. Each horse wears a mask on its face, leaving only a pair of star-like eyes.

The cavalrymen on the horses were all dressed in black robes, with a pair of golden bear and tiger bows on their backs, and the quiver was full of white feather arrows. Like the mounts below them, all the cavalrymen wore half-masks on their faces. , the mouth under the mask is sharp-edged, with a chill.

And there is a man sitting on a horse among all the soldiers, wearing a bright yellow brocade robe, embroidered with octopus flying dragons, rolling cloud patterns under the dragon's claws, a bright yellow gemstone belt around his waist, and a pair of dragons playing with pearls hanging below. An emerald tag, and a pair of bright yellow soft-soled boots.

Looking up, this person's face is as white as jade, with black eyebrows and bright eyes, high nose bridge, red lips like blood, long hair standing upright, and wearing a bright yellow purple cloud crown inlaid with agate. The middle-cold light is a little bit, not angry and majestic, sitting upright on the horse has a majesty of looking down on the world.

This group of people arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and the two people carrying the lanterns came forward. In the middle stood a fair-faced man who was indistinguishable from yin and yang. The hair is extremely high, with a sandalwood hairpin stuck in it.

And at the end of the crowd, stood a slim, petite figure, wearing a black plain gauze dress, black thousand-layered white-soled embroidered shoes, wearing a black hat on his head, and a black gauze covering under the hat. Covering the entire face, this petite figure is basically wrapped in a mass of black, if you don't look carefully, you won't notice that there is such a woman in the night.

However, those who passed by could easily notice that although the woman was petite, the hostility exuding from her body was terrifying, but the night in September was like the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month.

The man with indistinguishable yin and yang walked up to the man in the bright yellow robe first, with his right hand slightly bent upwards, the man on the horse took advantage of the situation and flew down the man's arm, the bright yellow hem dancing in the night wind, like a Butterflies only play with flowers.

After the man in yellow dismounted, all the soldiers on horseback dismounted in unison. The whole movement was clean and smooth. If it wasn't for the dark night, it would be a good performance.

After the man got off his horse, he looked deeply at the courtyard in front of him. He saw that the courtyard was brightly lit, and there were many brave soldiers inside and outside the courtyard. Not to mention that Beicheng is very remote. Looking at it now, the rumors are wrong. But it was very lively!

Those soldiers who were still guarding outside the courtyard saw this group of soldiers who were not at the same level as themselves standing in front of them, and for a moment didn't know what to do, whether to stop or let them go.

 Yesterday's Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiu'er's subscriptions were extremely miserable, the number of fans was 0, woo woo woo~ Bo'er!
