Ping'an Manor is five miles away from Chang'an City and close to the Wei River. This is a manor that Su Ren bought after coming to Chang'an. Originally, it was a tidal flat. When the Wei River flooded, it was submerged. When the water was dry, it was exposed again. Weeds grew.
It is as deep as one person, and no one except waterfowl will come here. Since Su Ren bought this place, he first built the river embankment, and then sent people to clear the weeds. After two or three years of improvement, it turned into ten hectares of fertile farmland.
With more than 20 acres of orchard.
The reason why Su Ren built such a place was entirely based on the Cunning Rabbit's Three Cave approach. There cannot be too many people in the house in Chang'an City, let alone well-armed ones. For his own safety, Su Ren built Ping'an Village, one after another.
He sent manpower from Wonsan and Onshui to stay here as his own help.
It's not that Su Ren has no confidence in Chang'an City, nor is he guarding against anyone, it's entirely Su Ren's inner workings. As a descendant, no matter how hard he tries, he can't fully integrate himself. He always feels that he is an outsider, and he usually seems strong.
Underneath his body is a frightened heart.
As the saying goes, the more afraid you are, the closer the disaster will be to you. Something happened in Pingan Village, a big deal, a big deal! The always peaceful Pingan Village was attacked. Three servants were killed, and another
More than thirty people were injured, but the assailant ran away.
Su Ren was furious: "Vulture, what's going on?"
The Vulture and the Leopard were the bandits that Su Ren passed by Jianmen Pass when he came to Chang'an. They were sent to Yuanshan by Su Ren for a period of time. After the Ping An Village was built, they were transferred from Yuanshan for this purpose.
The force used to maintain Ping'an Village can serve as a surprise when necessary. Unfortunately, just last night, they were caught by surprise by others.
Vulture knelt on the ground: "The people who came last night were very powerful. As soon as we entered Zhuangzi, we discovered that more than fifty people were no match for the siege. It's not that the brothers didn't work hard, it was that group of people who were too powerful! Please be careful, sir."
!”
Hua Baozi also said: "Yes, there are only five of them but they work together tacitly. They are by no means ordinary assassins, more like rangers with strong martial arts skills and well-trained skills!"
"Ranger?" Su Ren frowned: "Are you sure?"
"It's at least 80% possible!" Hua Baozi said quickly: "My brothers have robbed people before when they were bandits. Those rangers have superb swordsmanship, and usually there are not more than a dozen people who are difficult to get close to. The number of people who came last night was more than what I have seen before.
Be fierce! Fortunately, they ran away when they were discovered. If we had fought hard, our casualties would have been even greater!"
"What's the purpose?"
The leopard and the vulture looked at each other and shook their heads.
Su Ren looked at the two of them. They were also injured. One was on the left arm and the other on the right leg. They obviously fought hard: "Get up! This incident is also a lesson. You should also know what the meaning of Ping'an Village is.
! You have worked hard this time, so brothers can rest assured. Those who are dead will be compensated double, and those who are injured will take good care of themselves. We must sum up our experience from this incident, and there will never be a second time!"
"Here!" Vulture and Leopard let out a long sigh. Su Ren could hand this place to them because he looked up to them and trusted them. Now that something has happened, he will not be able to escape due to negligence, so he secretly swore in his heart
We have to think of some way to prevent what happened last night from happening again.
After training the vulture and leopard, Su Ren turned to Han Qing and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Han?"
Han Qing looked at the vulture and the leopard who had not left. Su Ren immediately said: "They are all brothers, there is nothing to hide!"
Han Qing nodded slightly: "If it is really a ranger, I think it is most likely the Mo family who caused the trouble. The purpose, sir, should be known."
"them?"
Han Qing nodded: "A few days ago, Old Shopkeeper Cui said that Mo Cong and Mo Yu met with a young master at Cuixiang Tower. I found out that it was Liu Hong, the fifth young master of King Huainan. The one who poses the greatest threat to King Huainan in Chang'an is Liu Hong.
Liu Jian, does this make sense?"
Su Ren nodded and asked Vulture: "What's wrong with Liu Jian?"
Vulture said quickly: "I just went to check it out, and there's nothing wrong with it."
"It's broken!" Su Ren yelled, stood up and rushed out the door. As he walked, he ordered: "Watch Liu Jian and don't let him have any problems. If it doesn't work, let him live in the secret room!"
"Sir, slow down, what are you..." Han Qing quickly followed.
"Go home! There is another one at home!"
Something happened at Ping'an Village. Su Ren was surprised and rushed over with his people overnight. Being cut off from the back was a big deal. Su Ren mobilized all the people and horses he could mobilize, and even half of the Tiangang Disha were dispatched together.
Now Ping'an Village is almost surrounded by everyone. Not to mention a few assassins, even one or two thousand troops can't even think of attacking in. Because of this, Chang'an City's home has become an empty city.
If Liu Hong is discussed with the Mo family about the real matter, then Ping'an Village is probably their plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. After all, Liu Jian is also Liu An's grandson. Even if he wants to kill him, he will have to die behind an outsider. Liu Shuang will not
Likewise, he is Liu Ci's son. Although he is related to Liu An by blood, he is not as close as Liu Jian.
Running wildly all the way, Su Renna was annoyed. He didn't even notice the plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. It was a shame to spread such big words. Although it was not far from the city five miles away, he stayed at Ping'an Village for a long time.
Time, it was almost dark when I came back. The Han Dynasty was not the Tang Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, at least not yet comparable to it. When it got dark, the city gates would be closed, and no one except the emperor could open them.
"Xiao Jinzi, your horse is fast! Go to the city and tell your master to be careful, and then find Su Kai to help!"
Hawking agreed and stepped forward with Black Wind on his legs. Black Wind roared, spread his hooves and rushed out.
It was getting dark, dark clouds were pressing over the head, and you could not see your fingers. In a private house opposite the Su Mansion, twenty black figures were waiting quietly. Not long ago, a fat middle-aged man opened the door and came in. This man was in Su's house.
There was a small wine shop opposite my home, but Su Ren had never been there.
"Sir, they were fooled!" The fat shopkeeper saluted a man in black sitting in the middle of the room: "The city gate has been closed, they have not entered the city!"
The man in black didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and the fat shopkeeper bowed and exited the door. As soon as the fat shopkeeper left, the man in black standing by the bed immediately opened the window, and the other men in black got out one by one. When
When the fat shopkeeper came in again, there was no one in the room, and it was as if those people had never been there. The fat shopkeeper smiled slightly and blew out the oil lamps on several tables before exiting again.
Leng Jun held the sword and sat on the steps of the lobby door with his eyes closed. There was no one and no lights in the yard. There was only the sound of the gentle night wind blowing the mulberry trees. Since Su Ren left, Leng Jun has been sitting here. He has been
He has been sitting here all day and no one is allowed to disturb him.
A soft sound came from the west courtyard wall. Leng Jun took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes: "Come out! Since you are here, why be so sneaky?"
Soon, five or six figures fell into the yard. Although it was dark and nothing could be seen clearly, at least there were vague shadows. He looked at the group of people coldly: "Who are you?"
No one answered his question, he just stood in front of Lengjun, guarding with a sword in his hand.
The fight had already begun in the backyard, but Leng Jun did not move. Since the purpose of showing up was very clear, he wanted to keep the only master in the Su family here, and at least he had to entangle him. Along with the sound of fighting, there were also painful screams and hysterical cries.
Shout.
"Let's do it!"
Leng Jun said these three words calmly, and the sword in his hand moved.
Liu Shuang was frightened and huddled under the bed, trembling all over. Even a fool could guess what these people were doing. The fight was in the small courtyard where he lived, and the noise was very intense. He was not a softie at all.
But when life is at stake, everyone will feel scared. At the beginning of the fight, Liu Shuang also rushed out with a sword. As soon as he showed his head, his clothes on the chest were cut by a sword. If it hadn't been blocked by a guard in the courtyard,
, he is the one who will die.
Liu Shuang prayed to God to bless him. He was still young and did not want to die. The righteousness he said was another matter. The sound of fighting in the courtyard became smaller and smaller, and slowly disappeared. The sound of footsteps followed from
There was news from the courtyard that the door of the room was pushed open. In the light of the sky, he could see seven or eight pairs of feet entering the house. Liu Shuang tried his best to hold his breath and not let himself make any sound.
A sword suddenly appeared in front of Liu Shuang's eyes. The tip of the sword was still dripping with blood. The blood was black and had a strong smell of blood.
"Where are the people?" a voice asked.
"I was still in the house just now. There are only two windows facing the courtyard. Look for them!"
There was a sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and a porcelain vase fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the pieces flew everywhere.
"Be careful!" another person said.
"It's not like we don't need to be so polite, just find someone!"
Liu Shuang wanted to rush out, but he didn't have the courage. He knew very well what the consequences would be if he rushed out. Even if he wouldn't be hacked to death immediately, he would still be caught. After being caught, he would still die, and the death would be more painful.
.
"Did you look under the bed?"
As the question came out, a head immediately appeared in front of Liu Shuang's eyes. This time he did not hesitate, and the sword rushed towards the big head and stabbed it. The man was obviously frightened, and hurriedly took a few steps back.
His butt fell to the ground: "Under the bed! Under the bed!"
Su Ren looked at the dark city gate and was helpless. There was a row of soldiers standing on the city tower, each holding a weapon in his hand and staring closely at the group of people below the city. Since the completion of Chang'an City, there have never been so many fully armed people.
At the gate of the city, the captain who was guarding the city didn't know what to do for a while. According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, the group of people under the city were already considered thieves and there was no point in killing them. But the captain could not give the order to release arrows because his
There was a dagger on his neck with a cold light.
"Kaicheng! Hurry!"
The captain gritted his teeth and uttered a few words from between his teeth: "Kill if you want, and the city gate must not be opened!"
Shi Bao was particularly anxious and asked Su Ren: "Sir, what should we do now?" (To be continued)
