Seeing Luo Junyao who suddenly intervened, not only the man but also Master Huang couldn't help but be stunned.
He was a senior official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he had naturally met the Princess Regent, but he was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.
The man narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Luo Junyao in front of him, "Little girl, I advise you not to meddle in your own business just because you have learned the skills for a few days." In fact, he could see that Luo Junyao's skills were definitely not as if he had only learned the skills for a few days.
It's just martial arts, but at first glance, this little girl looks like a spoiled child. How has she ever seen any big scenes? A few words of fear may make you scared.
Unfortunately, his calculation was obviously wrong. Luo Junyao chuckled, a cold light flashed in his hand, and the Youyue thorn went straight to the man's heart.
Anger also flashed in the man's eyes. He snorted coldly and swung the long knife in his hand towards Luo Junyao. Luo Junyao was dexterous and leaned back to avoid the oncoming blade. He turned in the air with this posture.
, Youyue Thorn stabbed the man's abdomen again.
Mr. Huang came back to his senses and saw Luo Jinxing, who was following Mr. Luo, at a glance. He quickly stumbled to Luo Jinxing and said, "Second Young Master Luo, then...the Princess Regent..." Although it was already winter night, Huang
The adults still couldn't help but want to wipe away the sweat.
This was the Princess Regent. If something happened to the Princess in his house, how could he explain it to the Prince Regent and General Luo?
Luo Jinxing didn't mean to be anxious at all. He waved his hand to the people behind him to help capture the other gangsters. He said to Mr. Huang, "Don't worry, Mr. Huang. Are your family members okay?"
Seeing him like this, Mr. Huang breathed a sigh of relief, nodded gratefully and said, "You're all behind, there's someone watching over you. It'll be fine."
"That's good." Luo Jinxing nodded. The old man had a good reputation, but Luo Jinxing still didn't want his family to suffer such an unreasonable disaster.
Mr. Huang was no longer afraid now, but felt a little cold. He tightened his clothes and shrank his hands, and asked in a low voice: "Second Young Master Luo, what is going on? Why did I hear that there is a lot of chaos outside? I don't know Luo
Where is the general?"
Luo Jinxing smiled heartily and said: "Don't worry, there are some reckless people in the world who are causing trouble. My father is currently stationed at the Xuanjia Army camp. If there is really a big event, we can send troops into the city at any time."
Mr. Huang didn't know whether he believed it or not, but he just nodded and said: "I see, that's good, that's good. With General Luo and His Highness the Regent here, what do we have to worry about?"
While the two were talking, Luo Junyao had already kicked the man in front of Luo Jinxing and Mr. Huang.
The man looked fierce and wanted to get up to capture Mr. Huang as a hostage, but as soon as he got up, a sword was pressed against his chest.
Luo Jinxing held the sword in his hand and said coldly: "Don't move." If the man didn't want to be pierced by the sword, he couldn't move. Just for this moment of stagnation, Luo Jinxing had already leaned over and tapped the acupuncture points on his body.
Raise your foot and kick the person away.
"Catch them, and those who dare to resist stubbornly will be killed without mercy!"
The chaos in the Huang Mansion quickly subsided, and several nearby houses also sent people to inquire. Knowing that everything was fine, they said goodbye and went back to their own homes to stay close to home.
Mr. Huang was sent out with great gratitude, and there were more people on the street outside.
Originally, the private guards of each family were replaced by officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division holding weapons. Xiying Linglan and Qin Yaoer came back from several directions, "Princess!"
Luo Junyao asked: "How's it going?"
Xiying said: "There is some turmoil in the city, but everything is generally fine. General Yu is in the palace, Prince Wei has gone to Liushang Pavilion, and the eldest son of the Luo family is in the west of the city. I just heard that the prince was besieged near Nanshi."
"Besieged?" Luo Junyao was a little surprised. Xie Yan was besieged in Shangyonghuang City? Shouldn't he be the one leading people to besiege others?
After all, the imperial city is Xie Yan's territory. Even if the imperial court lacks everything, it will never lack people. Therefore, even though those people in the world are highly skilled in martial arts, Luo Junyao does not think it is a big deal. His martial arts skills are as high as those of Xie Yan Qufang.
After all, they are still rare. As for other masters, the imperial court is not without them either.
Xiying nodded and said: "Yes, there seems to be no one around the prince. Leng Shuang Dieying and others are not here. I heard that there is a fierce fighting over there." Their place is not far from Nanshi, so the news spreads quickly.
Qin Yao'er was very excited, "Princess, do we want to help the prince? I heard that Qu Tiange is also there!" With the regent on his side, can she still poison Qu Tiange?
Luo Junyao thought for a moment and shook his head.
Qin Yao'er was a little disappointed, "Aren't you worried about the prince?"
Luo Junyao said: "Since A Yan chose to do this, he must have his own ideas. There is no need for us to cause trouble." It is impossible to say that she is not worried at all, but she believes in Xie Yan. What's more, there will be chaos in the imperial city tonight.
In this way, there are still many things for them to do.
The busiest thing tonight is undoubtedly the outside of Liushang Pavilion, where countless firelights illuminate the place as if it were daytime.
Liushang Pavilion is close to Nanshi, but because it is an elegant place for people to visit and enjoy the scenery, there is no lively market outside Liushang Pavilion. During the day, there may be people setting up stalls on the roadside, but at night, the area is really quiet.
But at this time, the place is ten times more lively than during the day.
Hundreds of people crowded into a small area outside Liushang Pavilion. They were obviously not interested in a night tour of Shangyong's most famous and elegant place.
It is said that this is an armory that has been abandoned for who knows how many years by the previous dynasty. Even the Dasheng court did not seem to notice this place, and just let it stand here like an ordinary abandoned house, becoming some beggars and
A place where homeless people live.
The few beggars who settled here tonight were already asleep, but were suddenly woken up by someone.
A group of vicious people broke in and rummaged through the dilapidated house. Some beggars who were unlucky enough to hide more slowly were even hacked to pieces.
But soon, these people started fighting among themselves again. In the dilapidated courtyard, which was not spacious to begin with, the smell of blood gradually filled the air.
Wei Changting stood on a tall building on the side of the street with some lack of interest. The place where he looked was the place outside the Liushang Pavilion where the fire was dazzling and the sound of killings was constant.
Such a battle would naturally be uninteresting to those who had been on the battlefield, but to the people who were used to being Taiping officials in Shangyonghuang City, it was already a rare fright.
Although they had all witnessed the bloody scene of the Three Kings Rebellion five years ago, it did not mean that they wanted to experience it again.
"Master Wei, do you think it's time to send troops out to suppress it? This is really..." a polite-looking official asked with a sad face.
Unfortunately, he is currently the governor under the emperor Shang Yong. If other parents and officials are far more elegant and comfortable than the emperor Tiangao, being a parental official under the emperor's feet is nothing but hardship.
Wei Changting said with a smile: "Don't worry, let them fight, it won't disturb the people anyway, why are you anxious?"
Is this called not disturbing the people? The gate of the government office has not been blocked yet because the people who have been disturbed do not dare to go out, okay?
Wei Changting also felt that what he said was inappropriate, and quickly comforted him: "Sir, please think about it, these people are all self-reliant on their martial arts skills and often use force to violate the ban. There are many masters among them who the imperial court has not been able to hunt down for many years. Now,
Wouldn't it be good for them to fight on their own? It would be easier if they were killed, otherwise even if they were caught, what if they ran away again? There are also those who have some forces behind them, and the forces behind them might still make trouble, and the court
We don’t have the energy to suppress bandits now.”
The official was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it seriously, he felt that what Wei Changting said made sense.
"Then...don't care?"
Wei Changting said: "Didn't the prince say that we should surround this place? Let them fight here. Anyway, there is no one at night. As for..." As for the so-called treasure house, I don't know whether it is true or not, but even if it is
Really, real money is very heavy, can it be carried away from under his nose?
Thinking of the empty treasury, being the minister of household affairs, and the possible future minister of household affairs, Prince Wei felt hot in his heart.
The noise in front became louder and louder, accompanied by someone's ecstasy and cheers, and then the fighting became more and more fierce.
Wei Changting touched his chin and said: "It seems that we have found the entrance. Is there really an armory? Was the person in charge of surveying the imperial city asleep?" There was an armory hidden under the eyes and no one noticed it.
, if those people are still alive now, I am afraid some of them will die.
Sure enough, several regular beeping sounds soon came from there, but the masters who had already fallen into a frenzy obviously didn't care.
"You haven't found Qu Fang and Musa yet?" Wei Changting asked with a frown.
The man in black standing behind said respectfully: "Sir, no trace of these two people has been found yet."
Wei Changting frowned slightly, Cui Zheyu said that these two people came here with many masters, but now there is no trace of the Qi people at all.
"Keep looking! These two people are too dangerous!"
"yes!"
The dilapidated but bright courtyard was in chaos. The entrance to the so-called treasure was in the abandoned garden behind the courtyard. These people broke into it and almost ransacked the entire house but could not find any armory. Until a few people started fighting.
The people in the crowd rushed together, and only then did someone realize that the ground beneath them seemed to be empty.
The quick ones quickly killed the slow ones, thinking that they could keep the secret to themselves and sneak away quietly to try to get the treasure later, but they didn't know that someone was watching them.
Seeing this, he realized something was wrong, so he rushed forward and killed the man with a knife, causing blood to spatter on the floor.
The entrance was quickly opened, and the first person who rushed in burst into ecstatic laughter.
People were also ecstatic in their hearts, and at the same time they looked at the people around them with vigilant and vicious eyes, setting off a new round of fighting.
The entrance is not big, and everyone wants to go in. Similarly, no matter how many treasures there are, there are countless treasures. Why share it with others when you can keep it to yourself?
These people have already been carried away. They have never thought that there will be such a big noise here tonight. How will they move these treasures away?
Everyone was caught in a frenzied fight, and most of them had not even stepped through the door of the treasure house.
Luo Junyao and Qin Yao'er squatted on the roof opposite the yard and couldn't help but marvel at this scene.
Qin Yao'er said: "Are these people crazy? I thought they should be alert when they heard that the treasure was in the city." It would be okay if the so-called treasure is outside, but in a place like Yonghuang City, you still have to be careful.
Want to take it out smoothly? Isn’t this whimsical?
Luo Junyao said: "It does seem crazy. People die for money and birds die for food. Isn't it normal?"
Qin Yao'er shook her head. Although she also loved money, she didn't want to make money that could kill her at first sight.
Luo Junyao said: "There are some who are not crazy, otherwise the second brother would not be so busy." After all, Luo Jinxing still couldn't get Luo Junyao to follow him all the time. His task tonight was to lead people to protect the mansions and alleys in the city.
The houses in Minxiang are not bad, but these people in the world look down on the three melons and two dates of ordinary people, and focus on the powerful and rich, and even some banks and banks. Luo Jinxing will command the Wucheng Army and the Luo family's soldiers and horses to attack everywhere.
Capture these guys who want to fish in troubled waters. Luo Junyao always thought that his second brother could fight, but he didn't expect that he was also quite good at mobilizing troops and generals. But then I thought about it, if he really only knew how to fight, General Luo and
How could Mr. Luo be so confident that he would hand over the Xuanjia Army outside the city to his command?
Luo Junyao saw that Luo Jinxing was so busy and couldn't do anything himself, so he simply brought the three attackers here.
"Princess." Xiying came over quietly and knelt down like the two of them.
Luo Junyao asked: "How is the situation?"
Xiying said: "There is indeed an entrance in the garden behind the yard, which can accommodate six people entering side by side. Judging from the rules, it does look a bit like the entrance to an armory or a grain depot."
Luo Junyao frowned and said, "But the imperial court has no such record."
Even if such a place is abandoned, the imperial court must take control of it. Either repair it and continue to use it, or directly bury it. However, before this, the imperial court did not seem to know the existence of this place.
Xiying said: "This place should have been abandoned during the Dongling Dynasty. When the imperial court sent officials to survey various parts of the capital, either someone managed to hide it from the eyes of the surveying officials, or..."
Luo Junyao said: "The person in charge of the survey deliberately ignored it."
Xiying nodded and said, "This happened more than 20 years ago." Now I might not be able to find the person who was responsible for the survey, but it would take time. It's even possible that the person is dead or has left Shangyong.
.
Luo Junyao said: "Let someone check it out. By the way, what does it smell like on you?"
Xiying was stunned, "What's the smell? Did you accidentally get the smell of blood?" Although he didn't do anything, the yard was almost filled with corpses and blood, and it was inevitable that it would get a little bit.
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "No, it's not the smell of blood, it's..."
Luo Junyao raised his hand and took Xiying's arm. Xiying was wearing black clothes in the night, and there was no problem at all.
But Luo Junyao felt a slipperiness as soon as she put her hands on it. She let go of Xiying's sleeves and twirled her fingertips before bringing it up to her nose and smelling it. She frowned and said, "kerosene? You have it on your feet too."
Xiying quickly remembered and frowned: "I found it in the treasure house. It is indeed filled with gold and silver treasures, but it has been in disrepair for a long time..."
At the time, he thought that it was in disrepair and some sewage had seeped in. The smell in the treasure house was not good. Coupled with the strong smell of blood and the shock of seeing mountains of gold, silver and jewelry, he did not realize that it might be
kerosene.
Luo Junyao examined it carefully for a long time and said, "No, it's not just kerosene..."
Qin Yao'er next to him whispered: "He seems to still smell of sulfur." To doctors, sulfur is also a medicinal material, and Qin Yao'er can naturally distinguish it clearly.
"Fire oil, sulfur... and..." Luo Junyao's pretty face changed slightly and said: "This is a trap! Are there any of our people inside? Let them retreat!"
Xiying shook his head and said: "Your Majesty ordered Prince Wei to besiege and not attack. When I came out, there was already..." Before he could finish his words, there was a violent roar from below, and the back garden quickly became filled with thunder.
Thick smoke.
The sound was dull but the movement was very loud, making people feel that the ground was shaking. After that, there were loud noises one after another, and at the same time, the fire gradually spread.
Even the roof of the house where Luo Junyao and the three men were squatting seemed to be shaken several times, and several tiles from the eaves fell off.
Because of these loud noises, bursts of wailing could be heard in the noisy courtyard.
At the same time, the entire imperial city seemed to be completely awakened.
