Chapter 319 Imagination

The knife fell and blood spurted out.

Zhu Youqing's head rolled to the ground, but his body still stayed on the horse because everything was too fast.

Zhu Youqing didn't even feel the pain. He just took one last look at the city wall and saw Xie Chen standing there.

He opened his mouth and wanted to shout: King Yu is not dead.

He had to drag King Yu with him if he couldn't survive, but he only had time to open his mouth, and before he could make a sound, he saw his headless body, and his last trace of consciousness was firmly occupied by fear and unwillingness.

In the end, he never thought that he would die here.

Zhu Youqing was beheaded. Seeing this, the generals under his command had no intention of resisting. They all knelt on the ground and dropped their sharp weapons.

Shangguan is dead, what are they still struggling for?

Xue Ding raised his hand to wipe off the blood on his face, and then said "poof": "I have wanted to kill you for a long time." There were people dead and injured on the battlefield, and no one would say anything. What he hated most was borrowing money.

People who were behind the scenes during the war. These people collaborated with the enemy and sold women's wives. Based on this, people like Zhu Youqing should have died long ago.

All the rebels were captured.

Xue Ping looked expectantly into the city. When there was no one else around him, he lowered his voice and said, "Can I..."

Nie Shuang said: "No."

Xue Ding sighed and thought of something else: "Then can I..."

Nie Shuang refused again: "No."

After saying this, Nie Shuang felt an inexplicable joy in his heart, for no other reason than that he saw the young master first, knew the Zhao family girl first, and Xue Ding and others were kept in the dark.

I can't even ask more questions.

Looking at Xue Ding's stunned look, Nie Shuang felt a sense of superiority for no reason.

Xue Ding coughed. It would be good to know that the prince was fine. He would ask about the rest later. Now that he has received a handwritten letter from the prince to do things, he should not be far away from seeing the prince.

Nie Shuang said: "Be careful when you enter the city later. Don't talk nonsense and be respectful."

Xue Ding rolled his eyes: "Can you say a few more words? Who should I be more respectful to? A Shangguan from Beijing?"

Nie Shuang saw that Xue Ding's face was filled with a look of sincere asking for advice, so he said: "Except those officials."

Xue Ding nodded, he seemed to understand.

On the tower.

Zhao Jingyun looked at everything below the city. The moment Zhu Youqing was beheaded, cheers resounded from the city tower. A smile appeared on Zhao Jingyun's face.

He looked at Xie Chen beside him: "Sir, we still have to testify for Master Xue. The two of them were fighting against each other, but they couldn't control the strength. Zhu Youqing suddenly turned around and ran away. Master Xue couldn't take back the sword, so he beheaded Zhu Youqing.

Get off the horse."

What this means is that Xue Ding did not intend to kill Zhu Youqing.

Xie Chen took a deep breath and nodded: "I understand." He has already flashed the fish charm twice, does he have any other choice? It is still his intention to let Xue Ding capture Zhu Youqing's rebel army.

"Open the city gate," Xie Chen said, "just enough to let Lord Xue's men enter the city and put an end to this turmoil as soon as possible."

"It's not a turmoil," Zhao Jingyun corrected, "it's those people who oppressed the people and resisted the court. It has nothing to do with the immigrants and refugees."

This sentence is of great importance, and no one should think that this incident was caused by the people.

"That's natural," Xie Chen said. "Some people were oppressing the people secretly and openly resisting the court, causing turmoil in the city. Fortunately... the government office suppressed it, so it didn't cause a big disaster."

Zhao Jingyun nodded: "There are also people who help. The people in Taozhou City believe in the imperial court and that's why they do this."

Okay, Xie Chen took a deep breath. Zhao Jingyun had already thought of it for him on how to write his memorial to the court, and he almost didn't discuss the details.

Should he praise Zhao Jingyun for his thoughtfulness, or question Zhao Jingyun's exhaustive strategy?

The city gate was opened.

Zhao Jingyun stopped. Xie Chen thought that Zhao Jingyun was letting him go first. He nodded and took the first step, but Zhao Jingyun knew that he was letting the girl from the Zhao family go.

Several people walked down the tower, and Xue Ding and Nie Shuang happened to also enter the city.

Xue Ding deliberately followed Nie Shuang and looked at Nie Shuang's actions. He didn't understand what Nie Shuang said, but as long as he followed Nie Shuang, he would do whatever Nie Shuang did, and he would definitely do it right.

When Nie Shuang saw Zhao Luoyang, he immediately got off his horse. He didn't dare to be too obvious. He only looked at the girl with concern from the corner of his eye. She seemed to be unhurt, so he was completely relieved. He was thinking about whether to quietly ask who she was.

As soon as I finished the sentence, I saw a person blowing towards me like the wind.

That's Xue Ding.

Xue Ding's eyes passed over Xie Chen and Zhao Jingyun, and he stepped forward to say hello. Then he looked at Zhao Luoyang: "The girl next to Mr. Xie is..."

Xie Chen said: "Someone just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to assassinate me. Thanks to this girl for helping me."

Xue Ding's eyes revealed a fiery gaze and he said hurriedly: "No wonder, when I saw a girl outside the city, I felt that the girl was extraordinary. How do you say that? Women are not inferior to men."

After saying this, Xue Ding looked at Zhao Luoyang carefully: "I think the girl looks familiar. Have you seen her before? Where is the girl from?"

As soon as Xue Ding finished speaking, Shi Jiu's voice sounded in Zhao Luoyang's mind: "Fool."

Zhao Luoyang almost laughed out loud: "This Master Xue is really strange." Isn't it time to ask about the situation in the city? But he seemed to recognize his relatives from thousands of miles away.

Sure enough... Nie Shuang couldn't help but secretly nudge Xue Ding with his elbow.

Fortunately, Xie Chen didn't know Xue Ding well. He didn't know that Xue Ding was always a person with a high level of ambition, and would not usually praise others so flatteringly.

Xue Ding failed to test the depth and had to retract his curiosity. However, he probably had some guesses. This girl must be extraordinary. There was no fear on his face when he saw such a scene.

So I would boldly speculate that the prince was injured on the battlefield, but fortunately the girl rescued him. The prince was so grateful that he could not repay the favor, so he married into the girl's home, so...

Zhao Jingyun coughed, and Xue Ding came to his senses. He raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Jingyun: "How is the city? Can you help me?"

Zhao Jingyun nodded: "I have to trouble Mr. Xue to go with me."

Xue Ding said: "Since we happened to meet him, I naturally have to handle the matter properly so that I can leave Taozhou with peace of mind."

Xue Ding followed Zhao Jingyun into the city. Xie Chen was relieved. He didn't have to go to catch the criminal. He went directly to the government office.

Zhao Luoyang naturally stayed to guide Xie Chen.

Before the two of them reached the government office, they saw Zhao Xuejing, Zhao Yuanrang, and Zhao Yuanji rushing over.

Zhao Yuanrang and Zhao Yuanji each carried a bamboo basket. The bamboo basket was full of things. Zhao Luoyang saw two pairs of boots on the top.

No need to ask, this must have been taken from the Ding family.

She doesn't have to do it herself now, the two brothers will collect all the useful ones.

"I haven't found Mr. Cao," Zhao Xuejing said, "but don't worry, sir, we are still looking everywhere."

After Zhao Xuejing finished speaking, he intentionally looked at Zhao Luoyang.

Zhao Luoyang understood immediately.

After Zhao Xuejing and Xie Chen finished talking, Zhao Luoyang asked: "Where are my grandma and dad? Are they all okay?"

Zhao Xueying nodded: "It's not bad. It was too chaotic at the time and your breasts were almost hurt by the gangsters. Fortunately, the official arrived in time. He was just frightened. Just take a rest and you'll be fine."

Xie Chen's heart sank and he felt a little more guilty.

Of course Zhao Luoyang knew that her mother would be fine, but the rest of the people were not injured? They said this because they hoped that Mr. Xie would not let the Feng family go just because they escaped.

The uncles and nephews sent Xie Chen to the Yamen. Zhao Luoyang then went to the side to talk to Zhao Xuejing: "Where is Mr. Cao? Is he okay?"

"Well," Zhao Xuejing said with a smile, "we didn't spend much effort to protect him. He got into the dung truck by himself and is still hiding in it."

So Master Cao only has some feces and urine on his body.

"That's a Shangguan from Beijing," Zhao Xuejing said, shaking his head, "That's all." He used to think that those officials were so powerful, but when something went wrong, they would just run away.

Zhao Luoyang continued: "Where are our people? Are they all okay?"

Zhao Xueying nodded, not only was it okay, but he also gained a lot.
