Chapter 40 Squench

Holding the cup as the number, and then the knife and axe hand lying in ambush around suddenly came out, killing the unexpected target with a knife. This is a murderous trick that has been passed down for thousands of years, and today in the Guoan Division, Xu Jinghong also used this method. As the glass full of wine in his hand fell to the ground, a group of well-prepared men suddenly rose up.

Everyone received Xu Jinghong's secret instructions, so that they would be embarrassed once they saw Xu Jinghong's glass coming out of their hands, so in the drink just now, they were very restrained, because they had to stay awake enough to deal with the Ye family. In their case, all kinds of weapons have long been hidden. When they suddenly bounced up from the table, the short weapons that are easy to hide are already in their hands.

"Puff..." Without preparation, several members of the Ye family were cut to the critical point by these people who were suddenly in trouble, and several even died tragically with their heads. In the splash of blood, the Ye family exclaimed and hurriedly dodged. And among these panicked figures, many of them actually showed the guy from their bodies, just in time to fight with the people of Guoan who rushed to the front.

This scene also surprised Xu Jinghong, because the people here have just been invited from the dungeon, so where did they get the weapons? Although it can be seen that the guy in their hands is very simple and hastily prepared at first glance, it is only these that have made people feel a little uneasy.

Around Ye Mingyang, two tall and calm men have taken a step forward to block his figure. These two are the most outstanding figures in martial arts among the Ye family. At the beginning, when they were captured by the imperial court, they did not take action because the general trend had gone, but in this case, they naturally had to do their best to protect Ye Mingyang.

Looking at the two bodyguards with empty hands but not simple from their temperament, Xu Jinghong had pulled out the knife around his waist after taking a deep breath, and then rushed up with an arrow. He can't see that there is nothing out of his control, because this time it is too critical and related to his overall plan.

The two men did not panic when they saw Xu Jinghong coming. As soon as they reached out, they raised the short number, and then smashed Xu Jinghong hard, while the other protected Ye Mingyang to retreat to avoid possible danger. Ye Mingyang's face was not surprised, but angry, and he felt extremely angry because of the other party's move to cross the river and tear down the bridge.

This made him shout sharply, "Xu Jinghong, you despicable villain!"

In the face of the enemy's obstruction and Ye Mingyang's scolding, Xu Jinghong was not moved at all. The knife in his hand danced from the air like a full moon and hit the short one made by Zaomu. At this time, it showed the sharpness of the Baisheng knife. It was just a knife, and the short ones were broken into two halves, and then Xu Jinghong's wrist trembled and cut the body of the big man again.

The big man didn't expect that the other party would split the short ones so easily, and he was slightly stunned. But after all, he is a good combatant. Without too much hesitation, he has already shorted himself, drilled through Xu Jinghong's head with a knife, and then rushed straight to his opponent. His anti-attack tactics are most suitable for his unarmed situation now.

But what he is facing is Xu Jinghong, who has been licking blood with a knife for many years. Although he is a little surprised by his attack and defense, Xu Jinghong can still make the most appropriate response quickly. The knife he cut in his hand was suddenly taken back by him under impossible circumstances, and then the tip of the knife turned inward and pierced it. In general, this knife can only hurt himself, but now there is a person in front of Xu Jinghong who is blocking the road of the knife, so this naturally plays a role in killing the enemy.

The man is not a mediocre man. Even in such an environment, he can still suddenly twist his waist and flash the knife that should have been pierced into his back door with the flexibility of his body, but the clothes on one side were cut by the sharp tip of the knife. At the same time, the momentum of his forward did not weaken at all. He still rushed to Xu Jinghong with indore strength, and then clenched his hands into fists and punched Xu Jinghong's face and heart.

"Good luck!" Xu Jinghong shouted in a low voice and had already dodged aside to avoid the oncoming attack. However, in this face, he has seen that this person is not bad. It seems that the background of the Ye family is still quite profound.

Ye Mingyang is fine because of these two loyal subordinates, but the other Ye family over there are not so lucky. They all drank more or less, and some staggered and dizzy. In the face of the continuous killing of Guoansi, how can they resist? Therefore, in just a short time, more than a dozen people fell into the pool of blood, and others were more or less injured, and their faces were miserable.

And the situation is even more severe for the Ye family as time goes by. Because after taking action here, all the people under Guoansi, who did not drink together because of their identity restrictions, also robbed them, and these people held long weapons such as big knives and long guns in their hands, and some even picked up bows and crossbows.

This time, it has become a one-sided battle for these Ye family. They couldn't even touch the enemy's body at all, and several of them were shot and killed with cold arrows. Then, after wielding and stabbing a group of long guns and knives, another group of people fell down, leaving less than 20 people, desperately dodging and blocking the attack.

All this fell into Ye Mingyang's eyes, which made him regretful. If he had known this, he would not have made the previous decision. It turned out that Xu Jinghong, a young man, didn't have much knowledge. It was easy to be persuaded by himself to use for himself, and then regain what he had lost. But at present, this teenager is not as simple as he thinks. He is completely a cannibal villain. Once he uses himself, he will eat himself and his family.

"Xu Jinghong, do you think it's not good to kill me? You will definitely regret what you did today. Early tomorrow morning, the story of your murder of the emperor will be known all over the world. At that time, you will also follow me!" Ye Mingyang shouted loudly. In addition to venting his hatred, the more important thing is to disrupt Xu Jinghong's rhythm and find the possibility of escape.

But his words had no impact on Xu Jinghong at all. At this time, he had completely calmed down and tried his best to fight with the man in front of him. Although the opponent's figure is very large, it is no less than him, who is good at wandering. Every time Xu Jinghong finds a flaw of the other party and wants to attack, the other party has quickly filled the flaw, and then the two can only draw with one move and then come again.

The more Xu Jinghong fought, the more he found that he was still a little careless. If another man is so powerful, if the other party doesn't have to protect Ye Mingyang, who has little power to protect himself, he is afraid that he will fall behind.

However, although he saw this clearly, Xu Jinghong was not discouraged. He has a strong personality. Since his opponent is difficult to deal with, he has to do his best to deal with him. After fighting with him more than 20 moves, it was still difficult to take advantage of him, Xu Jinghong suddenly left him, and then suddenly rushed to Ye Mingyuan, who was standing next to Ye Mingyang.

This is indeed a little unexpected. Although Ye Mingyuan is very trusted by the owner of the Ye family, he has no official position in the court, so he will not be targeted according to reason. However, Xu Jinghong abandoned Ye Mingyang and launched an attack on him, which made Ye Mingyang nervous and quickly waved to the men around him to obstruct him.

As soon as the man beside Ye Mingyang left, Xu Jinghong suddenly turned around and suddenly attacked Ye Mingyang with a surprising action. At this time, the man's body had just unfolded, and it was obviously difficult to shrink back. At this time, the previous person, who was as stable as Mount Tai, roared anxiously and rushed together.

And this is exactly the result that Xu Jinghong hopes to see. Just as the other party rushed in and there was no defense around him, the knife in Xu Jinghong's hand suddenly turned around and stabbed out with his backhand, which hit the man's heart. After a soft sound, the knife body passed through the other party's body and came out of the back.

The man shouted strangely, and then looked at Ye Mingyang with sad eyes and fell to the ground. From the beginning of the battle to the end of his death, he did not say a word.

And Ye Mingyang also sighed with some regret. These two masters were painstakingly cultivated by him and were a pair of brothers. The two have been dumb since childhood, and because of this, they can practice a strong martial arts skill, thus becoming Ye Mingyang's most reassuring bodyguard. But now, one of them fell under the almost shameless plot of Xu Jinghong, which makes Ye Mingyang sad.

"Ah..." Another man saw his brother being killed, and his eyes suddenly turned red. After a hoarse roar, he rushed to Xu Jinghong regardless. Looking at his appearance, he wants to die with the enemy who killed his brother, even if he has the responsibility to protect the head of the family.

Xu Jinghong straightened his knife and was about to meet him, but suddenly, three bows came behind him, and he suddenly stopped the momentum of forward. Three strong winds flew by Xu Jinghong's side and grabbed the man's body. And because he rushed too hard and completely lost the possibility of dodging, three sharp arrows were taken by him.

All three arrows hit his key point, so that the momentum of the man's rush immediately stopped, and then his feet softened and fell down. Naturally, Xu Jinghong would not let go of such an opportunity. With a flash of knife in his hand, the man's big head was separated from his body. Until his head was different, the man's eyes were still murderous.

It was not until this time that Ye Mingyang suddenly realized that the killing around him had stopped, and his family had fallen under the knives and guns of the Guoan Division. Now the Ye family is left with himself and his brother Ye Mingyuan.

"You... Xu Jinghong, you are really vicious and cruel!" Although he is still scolding Xu Jinghong, Ye Mingyang's tone has become a little weak, because he also knows that this kind of scolding can't hurt the other party at all.

Xu Jinghong made a gesture first to prevent the people around him from doing it, and then brought the knife forward and looked at Ye Mingyang's eyes and said, "I'm just learning from what you did back then. You must remember what happened 30 years ago, right?

"Thirty years ago..." Ye Mingyang frowned first and soon guessed what the other party was talking about: "So... Do you know everything in the wind and sky?"

"Yes, do you think that if you kill those people, things will be completely covered up? If you could do this to a person who made great achievements in the country and eradicate all his family, what I did today is nothing. After all, if you really want to talk about it, you are the prisoners of my Song Dynasty. Of course, I will kill you!"

"Hey, it's really true... Then why do you, a person loyal to me in the Song Dynasty, borrow my hand to let the king?" Ye Mingyang seemed to be bitter and asked with a sasneering smile.

"Because he is also one of the culprits behind this! And I'm for Song, not his Zhao family, let alone Zhao Zhe!" Xu Jinghong waved the Baisheng knife in his hand: "Now that you know why I did this, you should be able to close your eyes, right?"

"You first used my last power to kill the emperor, and then killed me... Xu Jinghong, you really showed the statement of non-toxic husband to the point of vividness! But don't you think about it? With my knowledge, won't you leave a backhand? Ye Mingyang took out the last life-saving straw.

But Xu Jingyu sighed: "Since I dare to do something to you, it is natural that I have no worries about this. Those of you who stayed in the west of the city have been waiting for you as the head of the family earlier.

Hearing this, Ye Mingyang completely lost his confidence. He sighed, "So it is. So you have calculated everything. It's ridiculous that I still think you are just a young martial artist who only knows how to use force. It turns out that I still underestimate your ability, so I'm not wronged if I was killed by you..."

"It's useless to say more. It's getting late. Ye Situ, please go on the road!" After Xu Jinghong said this, the knife in his hand was raised and fell, and the Ye brothers were all killed to the ground by him. Ye Mingyang, who once called for wind and rain in the court and no one dared to provoke, was also killed by Xu Jinghong, just like the ordinary people he killed.

Looking at the two bloody bodies, Xu Jinghong added in his heart: "Your end has been settled since I was bullied by Ye Hao in the barracks. Anyway, I can't keep your two real opponents alive!"

"The team is right, and everyone has been killed. But..." At this time, the old dog came to talk about the situation, and then said a little embarrassed.

"But what?" Xu Jinghong asked puzzledly.

"However, these people are all repeat offenders of the court, but now they have been killed by us. Aren't you afraid of the fault of the court?"

Xu Jinghong sneered: "Is there anyone we are afraid of in the court now? We have done so many things, and which one can be known? As for how to solve this problem, it is actually very simple. The court just needs a reason, and we will give them a suitable reason. With that, a trace of sharpness flashed in Xu Jinghong's eyes.

Half an hour later, the fire suddenly rose from the government of Guoan. Many soldiers shouted: "Walking water..." while running towards the courtyard behind with a bucket of water. But with this little water alone, it is impossible to extinguish the blazing fire, and when the fire is extinguished, it is already because it can't be burned.

This fire burned the fourth courtyard, which is the dungeon of the National Security Division, into white ground. In that way, the people imprisoned here will naturally die. Not only the Ye family, but also the end of the other three families. At this time, the court didn't pay much attention to the death of these people. Originally, they were going to accept the ruling of the court and were beheaded in public. Now they just died earlier. There is really no need to take it too seriously.

Of course, this also has something to do with Xu Jinghong's important position in the court now. Even if some people suspect that there is something wrong with it, no one dares to question it in public.

After the incident, the Gyeonggi government also sent people to investigate, but these good hands who are good at investigating the case only said that the fire was caused by a momentary mistake, and no one mentioned that many of those bodies were burned after being killed. No one even mentioned that dozens of corpses disappeared here.

Two days later, a passenger ship was about to leave at a ferry outside the capital, and Chu Lianer, dressed as a man, reluctantly said goodbye to the family: "Fourth uncle, sixth uncle, eighth aunt... You must take care..."

"Don't worry, Lian'er, we will definitely live safely when we go back to Jiangnan this time. We can also see clearly that there are too many dangers in this court. One bad thing is the destruction of the family. Therefore, our Chu family will not set foot in the court in the future.

"To be right, the owner of the family has been missing for half a year, and he doesn't know where he is. Just ask Xu Jinghong to send someone to find his whereabouts. After this incident, the Chu family finally affirmed that Xu Jinghong was sincere to Chu Lian'er, otherwise why would he let go of the Chu family alone? So in some things, they don't treat it as an outsider.

"Hmm! Dad should still be in this world. I must find him back!" After showing his determination, Chu Lian'er waved goodbye to his family and then returned to Daliang City under the escort of several Guoan soldiers.

And Xu Jinghong, the reason why he did not send these future relatives with Chu Lian'er is that he was working hard for the ownership of the imperial power in the palace at this time...
