Chapter 67 Falling Flowers and Flowing Water Night
Xu Huai stared at Xiao Yanhan for a long time and said: "Seeing that you have been quite honest since entering the city, I will tie the rope lower so that you can sit on the ground and rest; you'd better stay honest and don't
At this juncture, it is causing me extraneous problems..."
Xu Huai lowered the ropes binding the beams and columns, and found two futons so that Xiao Yanhan could sit down. He also sat cross-legged on the futon opposite Xiao Yanhan to make it easier to talk.
"Chen Zixiao said he was your Wang Xiaocheng's son, what's going on?" Only then did Xiao Yanhan have the opportunity to ask her doubts, staring at Xu Huai and asking.
"With the dignity of a princess, you come to Lanzhou. Even if you are implicated by Xiao Xiang, Chen Zixiao and others must be controlled by you. It seems that you are not clear about the origin of the people in Tongbai Mountain and Jing Shengjun?" Xu Huai was a little confused.
After taking a look at Xiao Yanhan, as long as he knew enough about the relationship between the people in Tongbai Mountain and Jing Shengjun and the past events of Jing Shengjun, Chen Zixiao could break through the most critical layer of window paper, and there was no way he could not figure it out.
The key to this.
"I thought the people in Tongbai Mountain were just a group of wild men. How could I have imagined that there would be so many twists and turns?" Xiao Yanhan said coyly.
"Princess, do you know that everyone says that people are born with seven deadly sins, arrogance, greed, lust, jealousy, gluttony, anger, and laziness, and people need to avoid them?" Xu Huai shook his head and sighed, and said, "If it weren't for Princess, you are too careless.
, you are so easily angered by me, I may not be able to see through your identity, Princess, and I will not have the chance to catch you and Chen Zixiao, so I will probably choose to endure it and not take action, Princess, and there is no need to be my prisoner."
"Are you teaching me to do things?" Xiao Yanhan complained in her heart. If her hands were not tied behind her back, she would have scratched Xu Huai's self-righteous face dozens of times. She suppressed her inner discomfort and said, "I
I was indeed careless in the past, and I didn't hear many of Chen Zixiao's words. Please tell me in detail!"
"Don't look at the fact that the princes in the Dai Yue court are now clamoring to regain Yanyun's homeland, but fifteen years ago, when the Jingsheng Army invaded Yunshuo, Yinggui and other states, the princes in the court only dared to maintain their old views.
Encouraging the incompetent and fatuous officials to issue an order to recall Jingsheng's army and abandon the land of Yunshuo - you should know this," Xu Huai said. "At that time, there was only an edict to withdraw the troops, but Cai Qing forged a separate edict.
A secret edict was issued to kill my father, and then he killed my mother and framed me as a bodyguard, but I didn’t expect that my adoptive father Xu Wuxuan had already exchanged his youngest son for me... You also know now how important this secret is to us, how important it is to us.
It's fatal, so you should know that I can't let you escape no matter what. Princess, your treacherous plot is about to succeed. I can't always watch the princess in the room. I may need to hang the princess to the beam to feel at ease.
, Princess, please be more patient with me if I offend you!"
Xiao Yanhan saw Xu Huai stand up, passed a long rope through the beam, and then connected it to the rope net behind her. In three or five strokes, she was hoisted to a distance of four or five feet. This also caused several
It became more and more oppressive.
Xiao Yanhan was ashamed and annoyed. Not to mention making any noise at this time, she was even more afraid that someone would come looking for Xu Huai and see her like this.

Xu Huaigang hung and tied Xiao Yanhan, and Xu Wukun returned from attending the night banquet.
Among the people in Tongbai Mountain, Xu Wukun, as the military governor, is the only one qualified to attend the night banquet.
When Xu Wukun came back, Xu Xin'an, Tang Pan, Yin Peng, and Tang Qing all dropped what they were doing and ran over.
As long as you are human, no matter how cruel the reality is before you, you will always be lucky in your heart.
No matter how urgent and thorough Xu Huai's analysis of the situation was, Xu Xin'an and the others did not have such a clear understanding of the historical trajectory like Xu Huai, and they always felt that things would turn around.
"Cao Shixiong, Cao Shili's family is in the Governor's Mansion, and he asked us to directly station in the two key courtyards in the southeast and northwest of the Governor's Mansion. We are sincere enough. Do we still want to continue to purge the Khitans and miscellaneous captives in Shuozhou City?" Everyone
Gathered in the corridor, Xu Xin'an asked Xu Wukun with concern.
Xu Wukun shook his head and said: "During the banquet, Cao Shixiong once again proposed to execute only the officials selected from the Khitan and the Tibetan tribes in Shuozhou City, and then drive out the Khitan people and the Tibetan tribesmen after the war. Zhu Hang also hesitated.
, but it was Yue Hai Tower. Ge Yu resolutely refused and asked Cao Shixiong to execute the Khitan officials in Shuozhou City tonight, and clear out thousands of Khitan people and miscellaneous captives in the city early tomorrow morning. He said that the Khitan invaded the Central Plains several times and killed many people.
Countless, blood debts must be paid with blood at this moment. At this time, Cao Shixiong is sending people to summon the Khitan officials to the governor's mansion..."
"..." Xu Xin'an was speechless.
Er Tang Qing asked, "What's wrong without us?"
"There are not many Khitan officials in Shuozhou City. Ge Yu said that he has enough manpower and does not need to bother us." Xu Wukun said.
"No matter what, we don't need to waste this energy!" Tang Qing said.
"If he says he doesn't need it, then he won't use it, so what's the point?" Xu Huai snorted and said, "Others can continue to stay in the courtyard to rest. The prisoners have to look at it, and they have to open their eyes wide..."
Indiscriminate killing and looting will release the evil part of human nature to the extreme.
Although many prisoners were not executed and could still be exiled to Lanzhou, most of them cannot be regarded as heinous people, but they are also daring people. They have only been trained for more than a month. It is impossible to remove the evil edges of their temperaments.
Everything was tidied up.
Even though there were forty Zhufengtang guards as the backbone, when they actually entered Datong City and saw that all the generals of the Tianxiong Army were burning, killing and looting wantonly in the city, Xu Huai still had to restrain them by force. Many of them
There will inevitably be a lot of resentment and resistance deep inside the prisoner's heart.
Now that they were taken out to watch the slaughter, they would have a buffer. If there were any bad signs, they would still have the energy to deal with them.
"We'd better speak to Zhu Hang first!" Xu Wukun said.
Xu Huai nodded. After all, Zhu Hang was the real representative of the Supervisory Army Envoy, and they had to obey Zhu Hang's orders in name.
Xu Wukun specially pulled Xu Xin'an and Tang Pan up to see Zhu Hang. Xu Huai pushed open the door of the room where Chen Zixiao was imprisoned, and an oil lamp was dimly placed on the table - Chen Zixiao was much more dangerous than Xiao Yanhan.
, or after dislocating his arms, he was tied up tightly and tied tightly to the pillars of the house.
Chen Zixiao was indifferent. When he saw Xu Huai pushing open the door and walking in, he said in a hoarse voice: "I think we should have a good talk now!"
"What are you talking about? Aren't you afraid that if I hand you over, will things turn around?" Xu Huai asked calmly.
"How did Wang Xiaocheng die back then? The Gungun princes in the Yue Ting Temple frequently resorted to ancestral laws and tortured vulgar warriors like us to death. They were afraid that if we exceeded the rules even a little bit, how could things turn around?
"
Chen Zixiao raised his head with difficulty, smiled, but a bit ferocious, and said,
"Liu Shizhong, I know better than you what kind of people Cai Yuanyou is. If they dare to attack Yingzhou in a big way and fight to the death with the main force of our Xijing Road garrison, none of Lin Shi's strategies will be of use, but
Do they dare to fight a battle openly and openly? The more they place their hopes on Tianxiong Army's partial division, the less they will tolerate any deviation from this side..."
"The Khitan has gathered 30,000 soldiers and horses in Yingcheng. If Liu Shizhong and Cai Yuanyou dare to fight like you said, he can win. Xiao Linshi's situation is also quite unbearable. What qualifications do you have to talk to me?
"Xu Huai asked.
"Sure enough, when I talk to you, no matter how careful I am, there will always be mistakes," Chen Zixiao said with a slight frown, "But it doesn't matter, the situation will be completely clear in the next few days. Please be kind to the princess; you
To survive, you should be able to get everything you want."
"Humph!" Xu Huai snorted coldly and said with a smile, "You have never been able to see through me. Don't think you really know what I want now..."
Chen Zixiao was not as easy to control as Xiao Yanhan, and Xu Huai didn't want to waste words with him. He turned around and walked out of the room, signaling Han Qi to stay here every step of the way.
He didn't want to kill Chen Zixiao, but he also didn't allow Chen Zixiao to cause any accidents.
Xu Huai turned around and returned to his room, and saw Xiao Yanhan sleeping soundly. He was sitting in front of a lamp reading a scroll of martial arts scriptures, and heard the sound of fighting in the distance.
Xu Huai opened the window and shouted louder. Xiao Yanhan suddenly woke up and listened calmly. The sound of fighting was mixed with screams, wails and curses. It was obvious that the Khitan and Tibetan officials in Shuozhou City were
Only then did we realize that disaster was coming.
Although the purge plan discussed by Yue Hailou, Cao Shixiong, and Cao Shili will be launched throughout the city early tomorrow morning, once the killing starts, it will be difficult to stop.
Xu Xin'an came back and reported: "Cao Shixiong asked Ge Yu to lead his troops with us to plunder the houses of Khitan officials. Do you want to take a look..."
"This is a good mission. You can lead people to see it. However, anyone among our people who dares to steal a tael of gold and silver, kill or injure a woman or child will be executed on the spot. Don't be lenient!" Xu Huai said, "It's best.
I can kill two or three people today to shock people's hearts, otherwise it will be difficult to control them in Datong!"
When Xiao Yanhan heard this, she looked at Xu Huai in shock. Although the light was dim, and although she could only see the background of him talking to Xu Xin'an facing outside the door, it was indescribably cold!
