Chapter 351 Fishing in troubled waters, domineering

Wang Feng and King Xiao Jing of Jin first escorted the emperor back with the selected thirty elites, while he took over nearly 900 imperial guards, accompanied by Prince Xiao Changgong of Lanling County and several guards, and then gave Yue Qianqiu. At first glance, the task of staying as bait was simply thankless, as if the emperor could not trust him, but Xu Houcong felt very satisfied.

Last time, I only brought a few people to follow the emperor and Yue Qianqiu, but I met the crazy King of Han who took people to assassinate - even if this assassination finally proved to be just a joke - Xu Houcong already felt that the psychological burden was too heavy.

As a warrior from the Southern Dynasty who had just surrendered, he would rather accept some tasks that were not too risky than often losing his head. And today, he was undoubtedly very satisfied with the scene of the emperor leaving and staying, especially when he secretly brought in several of his trusted disciples and junior brothers from the Shengong Sect in private, he hoped that the emperor and other important people would not be there.

Therefore, when someone attacked outside, when he heard Jingling shouting to kill Zhentian outside, Xu Houcong seemed very calm. He rubbed the imperial bow beside him, thinking that his hundred-step piercings had only played the full performance once when he first met the emperor from afar, but today he could use it with his full performance. He couldn't help but nod at the few people hiding in the room.

So what if the emperor cannot see it, but the generals and soldiers of the Imperial Army can see it clearly, and then you can pass it on your word!

In this kind of night, it is the stage where the night arrows of the Divine Bow Gate show their power!

"Bold, the emperor is resting inside, why don't you retreat quickly...ah!"

Hearing this scream, Xu Houcong did not hesitate anymore, grabbed the door with one step, gently hooked his toes, and after opening the door, he raised his hand and shot an arrow. Within a distance of only more than ten steps, he could say that he was shooting wherever he shot. The arrow hit the chest of a man in black holding a knife and nailed the person to the ground.

With his lead in the arrow, several disciples of the Divine Bow Sect behind him instantly snatched it out, and everyone raised their bows and shot arrows. For a moment, on the open space before the temporary emperor's bedroom, there were endless bow arrows, but only the sound of strings breaking through the air was heard. The men in black who rushed over from all directions almost became the targets for the Divine Bow Sect to show extraordinary night arrow shooting techniques.

Even though Yue Qianqiu had already learned the shooting technique of the Shengongmen from Qingfengnian, he was lying in the dark, and could not help but be amazed. At this time, the people in black were killed by this sharp wave of bows and arrows, leaving at least twenty or thirty corpses on the ground, almost collapsed, but only shouts kept coming.

"There are ambushes!"

"There is no one on the side of Prince Xiao Changgong of Lanling County. I just lost everything!"

"Retreat quickly, it's a trap!"

And amid these shouts, Yue Qianqiu took a deep breath and shouted in a loud voice: "We have been fooled. This is simply because Xu Houcong deliberately sent out news to lure us over in order to make contributions!"

Before Xu Houcong and the men in black could react, he continued to yell: "Hurry up and break through..."

Before he could finish calling, he had already rolled away from the place. The next moment, he saw an arrow falling from the sky. If he was still in the place, that arrow would allow him to understand what it means to cause trouble in a minute.

I had known that the Divine Bow Sect had a powerful shooting skills, but at this moment he didn't even have time to sweat coldly. His body was relegated rapidly. As expected, even though there were some obstacles in the place where he was hiding, two more arrows had been nailed to the place where he was just standing.

But he knew that just a loud roar was not enough. He immediately made up his mind and took advantage of the opportunity of the people in black scattering, and immediately rolled forward and hid in it. He ran away and shouted while running: "If it weren't for the early preparation, how could Xu Houcong pull out the people from the Shengong Sect? The imperial guard had changed his surname to Xu!"

Xu Houcong didn't expect that his secret killer move would be slandered as a desire to seek credit. He took the risk to set up an ambush. He was angry for a moment and raised his hand to two arrows. However, at this moment, the tall and strong man had already mixed into the others, and he just missed the person around the guy's side with two arrows.

Just as he took a deep breath and pressed his fingers to prepare for shooting, he only heard a loud shout.

"Hurry up, intercept these guys who are in trouble and don't let one go!"

Seeing that more than a dozen people were interspersed in the black man, there was a melee in an instant, and they recognized the guards who seemed to be the guards of the Lanling County Prince Xiao Changgong. He had borrowed these guards to suppress the people in the imperial guards who were dissatisfied with him. Xu Houcong's face suddenly became quite stiff.

Even if his eyesight is good, in this dark melee between us and us, he gradually couldn't find the stout man who had shouted and destroyed his reputation before.

When he saw Xiao Changgong himself breaking into the crowd and slashing two men in black to death, even if he secretly scolded the Lanling Prince for being the wrong time, he would not dare to let the disciples of the Divine Bow Sect shoot arrows around him again. After all, when he was inseparable from this kind of enemy and me, no matter how good the archery skills were, he would probably hurt his friendly forces by accident. With no choice, he could only throw down his big bow, lift his sword and come forward to help.

Seeing that Xiao Changgong's single sword was so magical, the men in black rushed towards him regardless of their own life. No matter how they looked, Xu Houcong's eyes flashed, and he knocked a man fainted, signaling the disciples of the Shengong Sect who followed him to drag the man away and leave a living mouth, and then he would do nothing.

When he finally stood side by side with Xiao Changgong, he saw hundreds of black-clothed dead soldiers who were pouring in here at the beginning. At this time, at most, only seven or eight people were left to resist stubbornly, which could hardly be called a threat. At this time, he finally had time to talk to Xiao Changgong.

"The prince wasn't in the room before?"

"I saw the weather was good at night, so I forced the kid to walk around outside and wanted to make confusing words. Who knew that when I got back to the room, I heard something wrong outside. When I saw another look, I even had the quilt lifted and slashed, damn it!" Yue Xiaosi cursed and burst out a swear word, and then said viciously, "I heard these guys slander you just now? Humph, a traitor!"

Hearing Xiao Changgong's tone clearly did not believe those nonsense, Xu Houcong felt a little calmer, and then he pointed to the disciples of the Divine Bow Sect who protected a living mouth and returned to the door of the house.

"It would be great that the prince could understand my painstaking efforts. I was really scared by the assassination of King Han before, so I ordered a few disciples of the Divine Bow Sect to meet around Jingling and wait until the emperor left before they could come in."

Even if he explained this, he was still worried about causing misunderstandings, and he could not explain again: "They used bows and arrows carried by the imperial guards and did not bring weapons in. Some of the imperial guards can testify to this point..."

"General Xu, I recommend you, will I not trust you?" Yue Xiaosi was heart-warming, but this time he didn't just take his shoulders casually like Yue Qianqiu, with a very sincere smile on his face. "Just because someone yelled that kind of nonsense, I doubt you, a person who has made merits. Is this a sign? If someone talks nonsense, I will definitely stand on your side!"

Not to mention that Xu Houcong was originally a self-aware person, no matter how arrogant he was, he would not think he could compare with the emperor's former son-in-law, and the Lanling Prince Xiao Changgong, who was snatched away by several princesses. Therefore, Xiao Changgong expressed his support in public. He counted the guards brought by the other party from the corner of his eyes, and found that there were many of them, and finally felt completely doubtful in his heart.

As long as Xiao Changgong is not plotting against him, he will have an extra backer, not an extra enemy!

Seeing that he had chosen it, some of the confidant imperial guards and Xiao Changgong's guards who were staying here were quickly cleaned up the mess. Xu Houcong had to thank Xiao Changgong, and then invited the Prince of Lanling to talk to him. But when the backwards stepped into the house, he asked again, "By the way, why didn't Master Yue Jiu follow him?"

"Don't mention that little brat. I'll never do anything that is good. I'll be snobbish and have a little money fan!" Yue Xiaosi cursed in anger, "That boy actually occupied the bed that had not been cut off. He could actually sleep! I found that something was wrong and I brought people over, and it happened to be a fight, but it was finally not in vain!"

Thinking about the physique of Yue Qianqiu, and comparing the previous big man, Xu Houcong gradually dispelled his suspicion.

Although he had also heard that Xuan Daotang had a method that could make thin people wield heavy Mo Dao, the physique difference was too big. Moreover, Yue Qianqiu should be difficult to set out after Xiao Changgong but arrived first. And the powerful and powerful in Northern Yan like Xiao Changgong would not protect Yue Qianqiu, who had already had a grudge, so he quickly diverted his attention.

With Xiao Changgong beside him, he had to scrutinize the survivor he left with deliberateness, but the question made him feel a little regretful and rushed.

Yue Xiaosi gently tilted his fingers to the confession he recorded himself, and his face was full of surprise: "I've been making trouble for a long time, but it turned out to be the deposed prince... No, it's the remnant of the former deposed prince? Haha, the deposed prince has just died in the day today. How many years have the former deposed prince been dead? I'm still embarrassed to take it out? I think it's a tiger skin to make a big banner, and there must be another name behind it!"

He said, looking at Xu Houcong with a full face of ardent hope: "General Xu, I see that when you deal with these rebellions tonight, you will be very thunderous and full of wrists. When you return to Shangjing, I will ask the emperor to take the lead in investigating this matter! To be honest, although His Highness King Jin is getting close to me, I really don't like his temperament, arrogance, arbitrary, bloody murder, and he knows how to kill blood! "

Xu Houcong had heard that the eldest princess and the twelfth princess had trespassed into the Lanling County Prince's Mansion, so Xiao Changgong was furious to deal with a group of servants. Then the eldest princess and the twelfth princess left in anger, and broke the gate and plaque of the palace. It is said that he went directly to Xiao Jingxian to complain.

Although he did not see Xiao Jingxian and Xiao Changgong being alienated because of this, he still tasted it when he heard what others said.

It is said that although the prince of Lanling was the son-in-law of the emperor, he had no power in Shangjing before, so he stepped on the princess of Chen to death after returning from the southern border as revenge. The so-called negotiation with Xiao Jingxian was probably because both of them were a little unscrupulous. Now it seems that unlike Xiao Jingxian, who was truly "independent", Xiao Changgong was obviously determined to establish his own power!

Before he could hesitate to take on this burden that might be hot or might be successful, he saw Xiao Changgong slapped the handrail and stood up, and said something caught him off guard.

"Just don't object, then that's it!"
