Chapter 1672: Catch the assassin again!

After leaving the Yangzhou city, the team went to the official road. Of course, this section has also fallen into their control. With the smoky smoke everywhere, ordinary people's lives have been disrupted, not to mention there are people who dare to At this time, when visiting relatives or friends or doing business, there is no one other than our team on the spacious road.
In this way, we will not slow down.
A few days later, I arrived in Huai'an.
It was a twilight evening, and the sound of the wheels bumping against the ground spread lonely on the official road. When everyone walked very dull, a huge black shadow appeared on the horizon, like a crouching crouching tiger. Soon, those who opened the road came back and reported that they had arrived in Huai'an.
After another half hour, he finally reached the bottom of the city, and the tall gate closed tightly.
At this time, of course, the gates will of course be closed under normal circumstances, but the city is too quiet, but looking up at the sky, you can see that although the surroundings are dark, the sky is illuminated by fire. The slight redness was obviously not a city that had fallen asleep.
They called the door, and within a while, a rattling noise came from inside.
The huge gate made a long and huge hissing sound, which slowly opened.
As soon as the gate opened, all of us lighted up.
Because inside the gate, there were many soldiers standing on both sides, including on the steps of the upper tower. Everyone held a torch in their hands, and there was a fire in front of them. No wonder the sky was illuminated.
Did they make a special trip to meet us?
I opened the curtain and looked outside, my heart was confused, and our people just explained to the gatekeeper a little bit, and someone immediately came to lead our team forward, and the army we brought one after another Into the city, in addition to a team of people to protect us, most of the other teams went to the barracks on the other side.
All the way in, as I walked across the street looking at both sides, my brows slowly frowned.
Here, the situation is almost the same as in Yangzhou City.
A curfew was apparent at this time, but it was still possible to see that many of the pavilions were empty, the windows were open, and the dark inside was like countless empty eyes watching me in the dark.
This feeling is very depressing and very uncomfortable.
I certainly understand that since Pei Yuanxiu was able to go to Huai'an, it proves that this place has been occupied by his people, or those who are willing to support him, and there must have been war here.
I just don't know how many innocent souls died in the war.
Thinking of this, I sighed.
Hua Zhu sat next to me and saw me sigh, and said gently, "Miss Yan, you need to be careful of your body."
She was very close to me on this way. Of course, I also know that Pei Yuanxiu and Xie Yi sent to take care of me, or looked at me, but in the end she was just a little girl who was sent by someone, and I had no conflict with her. So I got along with each other for a few days, and when she heard her consolation, I didn't say anything, so I was ready to put down the curtain.
But before they had time to take back their hands, they saw a group of soldiers holding torches in their hands and full body armor, patrolling along the street.
Suddenly, they seemed to see something in a small alley, and immediately rushed in. After a while, there was a fighting noise. The team was not affected by them, and they continued to drive forward. I hurriedly looked out. I saw a few people running from the alley. They seemed to be young and strong guys. They were still fighting with those weapons with weapons in their hands, but in the end the crowd was so crowded that they soon saw them all Down to the ground.
The carriage was far away, and the soldiers could shout, "Catch the assassin again!"
"Hurry up!"
"Jail!"
This is also the case on the small streets on the other side.
I watched, and said nothing, and lowered the curtain.
When the sky was completely dark, we finally arrived at Huai'an.
Since its establishment, Huai'an Prefecture has been in a flourishing area of ​​business travel, so prosperous business, cultural and educational prosperity have always been a place of cultural prosperity. Since such a wealthy, the natural government building is also very elegant, although the surroundings have been completely dark, but But here are full of lanterns, brightly lit like a festival.
I was helped off the carriage by Huazhu, and when I looked up, my eyes were brightened.
Immediately, a group of people came out of the palace to greet Pei Yuanxiu, and these people were not wearing official uniforms. Of course, I also understood what it meant. Looking around the palace, there were more guards on patrol than in the city. But these soldiers were all wearing uniforms and had a large "Zhou" character on their chests.
One more look at the people who came to meet him. There was a middle-aged man with a moderate size and gorgeous clothes. The people around him flattered and became the "Master Zhou". Obviously, this is the celebrity of the Huai'an predecessor-the Zhou family Zhou Chengyin, apparently, now it seems that it is not just simple celebrities.
There are some people besides the Zhou family. After all, it is not only the Master Zhou who greeted him, but obviously, the people in the Huai'an prefecture are still the Zhou family.
We were greeted all the way in.
I do n’t know what the government was like before, and you can see that it has been washed all the way in. Although the blood was washed away, the scores on the wall were not so easy to be cleaned. It is also probably guessed that how terrible the killings have been here.
However, the colorful arrangement of the lanterns masked everything in the past.
We were quickly welcomed into a spacious lobby.
They have probably waited for a long time. When they went in and took a look, the candles on both sides of the candlesticks had burned more than half, and the wax oil had condensed a large drop by drop, and when Pei Yuanxiu entered, he was invited by Zhou Chengyin. The main seat directly in front of the lobby went up, and we made separate seats on both sides.
As soon as everyone was seated, drum music rang out on both sides, and a group of dancers came in to dance.
There were some cold meats and fruits on the table in front of me. After a while, the attendants came in and offered steaming dishes, but I was nesting in the carriage for a day. At this time, I had no appetite. I just drank quietly and listened. Words of flattery from each other around.
At this time, Zhou Chengyin raised a wine glass to respect Pei Yuanxiu and said: "The son of the King who revives the King to do nothing is really a blessing to the people of the world. Let ’s worship the son again."
Pei Yuanxiu only smiled slightly and had a glass of wine with him.
In the lobby, there is still singing and dancing leveling up and staggering, even Han Ruoshi talked to a few gentlemen around me, and my attention has been on Pei Yuanxiu and Zhou Chengyin.
After a few drinks, Pei Yuanxiu asked: "Gong Zhou, my advance troops have come here to inform you in advance, why was the gate still closed when I arrived?"
When Zhou Chengyin heard this, he hurriedly said, "Do not blame the son. In fact, in these days, except for the son and daughter's entry into the city, the gates of Huai'an did not dare to open for a moment."
"why?"
"Since it occupied Huai'an, Huai'an City has never been peaceful."
"Oh?"
"The prefect of Huai'an was originally an ignorant of the current affairs. He actually contacted this person before starting the incident, but he not only refused to attach to us, but also passed on the news to the capital. Fortunately, he has already sent someone to the office early All the correspondence was blocked on the road. After knowing this, he immediately started to conquer the house. This man refused to surrender and wanted to mobilize the people from the barracks to fight against him. Fortunately, Huai'an's defense has already been dropped. Bought through and besieged the house with the barracks and his own, and he took his men to the death guard for ten days before they were captured by us. "
Pei Yuanxiu said indifferently: "So, nothing serious happened."
Zhou Cheng is bad because this man is good at buying people's hearts. When he dies, the people in the city start to follow. "
"Oh?"
"These Diaomin organized a team, haunted in Huai'an City, and attacked us from time to time. These days, the dogs and dogs are restless."
Pei Yuanxiu frowned slightly: "You have no idea what to do?"
"I have already taken my household registration in the next morning, checked it from house to house, arrested all the relatives of those people, and then closed the gate, trying to force them to show up."
"So it is."
Zhou Chengyin hurriedly said, "I'm afraid I'm also shocked by my son's drive along the way."
"This is all a trivial matter," Pei Yuanxiu waved slightly. "As long as there is no one who disturbed me."
Zhou Chengyin froze a bit, subconsciously turned to look at Han Ruosi, then looked at me, and immediately smiled: "This is nature, this is nature."
Next, Pei Yuanxiu didn't talk much. Although there were waves of beautiful women dancing in the lobby to sing and cheer, and there were also people coming up to flattery, but his interest was not high, and it was difficult to please everyone. Tricky.
Zhou Chengyin secretly glanced at those people, begging them not to bother again.
I watched their actions all the time. At this time, I suddenly leaned forward and knocked a glass of wine on the table with a hand.
Everyone around me looked at me.
Pei Yuanxiu stood up for the first time and rushed to me: "What's wrong?"
I frowned, and stretched my hands over my stomach. "I'm a bit upset."
As soon as he heard it, he hurriedly reached out to hug me, but I looked at the people around him and pushed his hand away, whispering, "I'm fine, I can go."
When he heard it, he could only reach out and help me, and immediately asked people to prepare the room. Zhou Chengyin called and came over to serve, and then asked the doctor.
When I was surrounded by them and walked towards the back, I looked at Zhou Chengyin in the corner of my eyes.
The "Master Zhou" also looked at my back and thoughtfully.
