Chapter 242: A close call

Hearing such a shout, Ji Xiaotang, who had been calm and composed, showed panic for the first time on his face.∏∈, if you distinguish it carefully, it would not only be panic, but also a bit of fateful sorrow.

The person who came was Xie Huaijin.

Xie Huaijin's clothes were a little messy, and his face was almost crazy. He rushed into the room regardless of everything, and ignored the sword in the hands of the man in black who was guarding the door. The people in black recognized Xie Huaijin and hurriedly took back the sword, but for a moment they were a little busy.

Xie Ziqian didn't have to look back. When he heard the voice of his speech, he knew that Xie Huaijin was coming. He frowned slightly, and his hand holding the sword shook. In the eyes of Xie Huaijin who broke into the door, this action was Xie Ziqian taking the money to assassinate Ji Xiaotang.

Xie Huaijin's eyes immediately turned red. He shouted while rushing forward regardless of everything. His target was not Xie Ziqian, but Xie Ziqian's sword. Xie Huaijin desperately rushed towards Xie Ziqian's sword tip, and wanted to replace Ji Xiaotang.

The next thing happened almost in the blink of an eye, but in Ji Xiaotang's eyes, it seemed as long as a century. The scene in front of him coincided with the scene in his previous life.

In his previous life, it was when Xie Ziqian wanted to kill her with a sword and force Master Ji to submit that Xie Huaijin broke in. Xie Huaijin blocked in front of Ji Xiaotang and was pierced by Xie Ziqian's chest and died with a sword.

At that time, Ji Xiaotang thought that Xie Ziqian was unable to collect the sword, so he had a tragedy. But now when he thought about it carefully, it was not like that. Xie Huaijin was hitting Xie Ziqian's sword at that time.

Xie Huaijin is here, and he wants to save Ji Xiaotang. At the same time, he knows very well that he can't save Ji Xiaotang at all, nor can he change the fate of Ji Xiaotang and the Ji family. Xie Huaijin has already had ambition to die in his heart when he comes here.

This is exactly what Ji Xiaotang knows about Xie Huaijin.

Xie Huaijin was kind and loyal, and grew up smoothly, without a strong mind. After he showed his life experience and the plans of his father Xie Ziqian, he was unable to convince Xie Ziqian. He could not save Ji Xiaotang, so he could only die.

"Huai Jin!"

"Brother Huaijin!"

Xie Ziqian and Ji Xiaotang showed Xie Huaijin's intentions at the same time. Ji Xiaotang stretched out his hand in vain, but could not hold back Xie Huaijin's momentum to hit the tip of the sword. Xie Ziqian couldn't hold the sword in time. Seeing the tip of the sword penetrated into Xie Huaijin's chest.

In front of Xie Ziqian, Xie Huaijin's magnified face was Xie Huaijin.

"Rebellious, you..." Xie Ziqian shouted. Xie Huaijin's expression was too calm, and there was still a little sarcasm in his eyes. Xie Ziqian immediately understood that Xie Huaijin was using his own death to resist him. He was mocking him and attacking him.

"Brother Huaijin, don't die!" Ji Xiaotang finally grabbed Xie Huaijin's sleeve and pulled it back hard. In any case, she didn't want Xie Huaijin to die in front of her.

She died at the age of sixteen in her previous life and believed that she had a miserable fate. However, Xie Huaijin was not much better than her, and she was also a miserable boy.

Xie Huaijin seemed to hear Ji Xiaotang's shouting, but turned around and looked at Ji Xiaotang. "≤, there were tears in the corner of his eyes, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Xiaotang. Sorry."

"No!" Ji Xiaotang and Xie Ziqian called almost at the same time.

Xie Ziqian had already let go of the sword in his hand and kicked Xie Huaijin. The sword fell to the ground. Xie Huaijin's body was kicked against the wall by Xie Ziqian, and then bounced back to the ground, and then stopped moving.

Ji Xiaotang only grabbed a small piece of sleeve in his hand. It turned out that Xie Huaijin had already been ragged outside and could not withstand the energy.

After staring at the sleeves for a while, Ji Xiaotang suddenly threw them away and turned to look at Xie Huaijin.

Xie Huaijin was lying on the ground with her face pale face, bleeding from the corners of her mouth, and no sound.

Xie Ziqian naturally saw it. His biological son died under his sword. No matter how deep Xie Ziqian was and how cruel he was, he could not stand the blow for a while. He shouted twice to the sky, and the sound was no longer human, and it looked like a wolf howling.

After screaming wildly, Xie Ziqian immediately calmed down. He did not come closer to look at Xie Huaijin, but instead focused his eyes on Master Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang.

There was no trace of warmth in Xie Ziqian's eyes, nor the gentleness he had just pretended to be. It was almost a pair of hungry wolf's eyes shining with faint light.

"This rebellious son. The mud cannot support the wall. If he dies, I will not worry. A real man, why not have a wife or a child? Brother Ji, I will give you another chance. If you nod and tell the whereabouts of the treasure, it will be endless wealth and honor. If you are stubborn, then I will send Xiaotang to see Huaijin!"

"You... are so crazy. If you kill Huaijin, you will still kill Xiaotang. Xie Ziqian, do you still have human nature?" Master Ji Er said angrily.

"Haha, what is human nature! A real man, just kill and decisively!" Xie Ziqian said this, and took a long knife from a man in black next to him and pointed it at Ji Xiaotang.

"Uncle Xie, did you useless to uncle and Huaijin in the past?" Ji Xiaotang was not afraid at all, but instead looked directly at Xie Ziqian and asked loudly.

Xie Ziqian was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Ji Xiaotang would be calm and calm.

"Of course not." Xie Ziqian could have ignored Ji Xiaotang's question, but for some reason, he still answered.

"Since it's not fake, how can you be so cruel!" Ji Xiaotang asked Xie Ziqian, "It's obvious that neither uncle nor brother Huai Jin stands on Uncle Xie's side. Is it really worth it to abandon his wife and children for the sake of Jinghua Shuiyue's fame and wealth?"

"Little girl, you are confused by your father's trick. You don't know the true kingdom of this world. If you are tactful, just advise your father and family to follow me quickly. Of course, you will have endless benefits. Otherwise, you will die here today!"

Xie Huaijin suddenly died, and died under his own sword. Although Xie Ziqian was calm on the surface, he could not be shaken in his heart. () The direct surface of his vibration was even more crazy.

Looking at Xie Ziqian's eyes, Ji Xiaotang knew that he would really kill him.

"Xiaotang is innocent. If you want to kill me, kill me." Master Ji Er pulled Ji Xiaotang behind him, but Xie Ziqian had already been guarding against Master Ji Er's move. Immediately, two men in black came forward to catch Master Ji Er, making him unable to move.

Xie Ziqian's knife fell on Ji Xiaotang's neck. As soon as he moved, Ji Xiaotang would be unable to save his life.

At this moment, there was a chaos outside, and then an arrow broke into the door like a thunder and meteor, heading straight to Xie Ziqian's neck. The arrow came too fast and fiercely, and Xie Ziqian had to throw away the long sword in his hand. While hurriedly dodged. His movements were extremely fast, but they were still faster than the arrow.

Ji Xiaotang saw Xie Ziqian getting an arrow in the neck, and was staggering two steps away from the side by the arrow. The bright red blood gushed out of the neck like a small fountain. Xie Ziqian hugged his neck with both hands, as if he wanted to stop the blood from flowing out. While slowly turning around and looking at the door, his eyes were disbelief.

Ji Xiaotang recognized the arrow that shot Xie Ziqian at a glance, and immediately felt happy that the rescuers finally arrived.

With Ji Xiaotang and others' surprise and the frightened and unbelievable eyes of Xie Ziqian and others, Qi Younian and his personal soldiers seemed to descend from the sky and killed from outside.

The battle in the room ended soon.

When Qi Younian entered the door, Xie Ziqian fell to the ground. Two of the other men in black tried to kidnap Master Ji Er. However, Qi Younian shot one by one and killed him on the spot. The rest of the people were also killed under the swords of the personal soldiers brought by Qi Younian.

The tense nerve of Master Ji Er relaxed when he saw Qi Younian bringing people. He was a scholar. This was the first time he had experienced such a thing in his life. He had not been asleep for a night, so he couldn't hold on now. He was supported by two girls and sat down on the chair on the side.

"Xiaotang, Lord Ji, I'm late." Qi Younian caught up and held Ji Xiaotang's hand.

"It's not too late." Ji Xiaotang said.

Qi Younian's soft armor and battle robe almost changed color. It was obvious that after a bloody battle, he could only arrive at Ji Mansion at this time.

"Did you meet a bandit on the road?" Ji Xiaotang asked Qi Younian.

Qi Younian nodded and told Ji Xiaotang that according to the prior agreement, he and Mu Hong and others led their troops to Qingyuan, but the troops walked to Mujia Village and encountered an ambush.

The ambush is the elite of Kill Polang, and the number is even higher than Qi Younian's predictions before. The difficulty is even more that Qi Younian has never seen in these years.

"It seems that the rebels really want to occupy Ren An and use him as the base camp for rebellion." And their first target to occupy Ren An was not Ren An's mansion, but Qingyuan.

Because the Ji family is in Qingyuan, one of the three leaders of Kill Polang, Greedy Lang, is also in Qingyuan. Moreover, when they take down the Ji family in Qingyuan and raise the anti-flagship, Ren'an Mansion will definitely send troops. They happened to ambush the Mujiazhai, the only way to the government army, want to capture all the officials, and then capture Ren'an City and take down the entire Ren'an Mansion.

The thieves were very careful in their calculations, but Qi Younian was prepared for it.

Even so, the two sides were almost evenly matched in Mujia Village. However, it was only almost the same. Just looking at Qi Younian arrived at Ji Mansion, but Xie Ziqian had no reinforcements. After all, the result of the battle in Mujia Village was Qi Younian's narrow victory.

"No, it's impossible." Ji Xiaotang was talking to Qi Younian when Xie Ziqian could speak intermittently.

Both of them turned their eyes to Xie Ziqian. Xie Ziqian was lying on the ground at this moment, still covering his neck with his hands, and the expression in his eyes had dimmed. It was obvious that his life was coming soon.

The reason why he was able to survive until now was not dead was entirely because he was unwilling to accept it.

"How is it impossible?" Ji Xiaotang asked Xie Ziqian in a condescending manner.

"Ren An... the garrison has only a thousand soldiers, and my Dayan's elite soldiers are gone, and I will leave..." Xie Ziqian tried hard to speak, but the sound of gurgling sounds still appeared in his throat from time to time. His life was almost over.

"Only relying on the soldiers of Ren'an Guard, they are naturally not the opponents of the thieves gathered in Mujiazhai. However, who told you that I only brought the soldiers of Ren'an Guard?" Qi Younian looked at Xie Ziqian and said lightly.

"What did you say?"

"Ayou is no longer a thousand households of Ren'an's garrison. He is now the commander of Zhili, with all the soldiers of the five prefectures of Northern Zhili, Southern Zhili, Hejian, Ren'an, and Huizhou." Ji Xiaotang said slowly.

Xie Ziqian's eyes widened wider and wider.

"In addition, for your thief, I have mobilized another 5,000 elite soldiers." Qi Younian continued.

"Uncle Xie, you are desperate to concentrate all your troops in Ren'an's mansion, thinking that God could take Ren'an in one fell swoop without knowing it. But you don't know that your move has long fallen into the trap of the court. Now, I'm afraid that the elite soldiers you mentioned are surrounded by officers and soldiers." Ji Xiaotang smiled slightly.

"We are waiting for this day. Lord Xie, or I should call you Greedy Lang." Qi Younian looked at Xie Ziqian. If the thieves were still hiding everywhere, Qi Younian not only needed to use a large amount of manpower and material resources to find these thieves, but also divided their troops to defeat them one by one. This was not only difficult, but also unclear.

But now all the rebels gathered in Ren An and happened to enter the encirclement arranged by Qi Younian, which could be wiped out in one fell swoop.

"The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind. Uncle Xie, you are fooled. Why do you still say that you are reviving the Great Swallow and making great achievements? After all, Uncle Xie is just talking about military affairs on paper and has great ambitions and talent." Ji Xiaotang smiled, but said without mercy, pointing to Xie Ziqian's most painful point. "Uncle Xie, do you regret it now!"

"I, I don't... believe it!" Xie Ziqian almost roared out his last sentence, but it was silent. His last word fell to the ground, his hands hanging down weakly, only his eyes were wide open.

Die with your eyes open!

Xie Ziqian died like this. He pretended to be in front of others for his so-called great cause of revival and had a life of planning, but he failed in the first battle.

He doesn't regret it later, Ji Xiaotang doesn't know.

"Xie Ziqian is the most pretentious." Seeing that Xie Ziqian died like this, Master Ji sighed softly, "Even if he regrets it in his heart, he will not admit it. If he admits it, wouldn't it be like admitting that he has lived in vain for the rest of his life!"

But even if Xie Ziqian refuses to admit his regret, he will have no meaning in his life. Now it seems that it is a joke.

In this time, soldiers kept coming in to report to Qi Younian. The men brought by Qi Younian had wiped out all the thieves and thieves who broke into the Ji family. Now, Qi Younian's soldiers were guarding inside and outside the Ji Mansion.

Among the people who came in to report, Master Li was also present.

"Master Li, where is Jiang Qingshan?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"...That guy was too slippery and he ran away." Master Li told Ji Xiaotang that Jiang Qingshan was injured, but the situation was wrong, so he quickly slipped away with oil on the soles of his feet.

"You can't let Jiang Qingshan go." Ji Xiaotang said, "He won't run far. There are too many things in his family that he can't bear to leave."

"I'll take people to chase you now." Master Li said.

Qi Younian also knew about Jiang Qingshan, so he immediately divided some people to Master Li and went to capture Jiang Qingshan together.

At the same time, Master Ji Er had already opened the door of the secret room and picked up Mrs. Ji and others. Although Mrs. Ji was at the foot of the rockery, although she didn't know the details outside, she knew in her heart that when she came out and saw that Master Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang were both fine, she was inevitably afraid and surprised.

Old Mrs. Ji hugged Master Ji Er and cried bitterly.

"Xiaotang's grandfather and uncles..." Mrs. Ji Er was worried about Mu Hong and his younger brothers, so she went forward to ask Qi Younian. In Mrs. Ji Er's heart, Qi Younian is here, and Mu Hong and his son should be here too.

"We were intercepted by thieves in Mujia Village. I was anxious to come to Qingyuan to rescue him. Uncle Mu and the others were still in Mujia Village. The war in Mujia Village requires Uncle Mu to take charge of the overall situation." Qi Younian said respectfully to Mrs. Ji Er. He knew that Mrs. Ji Er was worried about the Mu family's father and son, and comforted Mrs. Ji Er. "Don't worry, Mrs. Mu is familiar with the terrain of Mujia Village and has elite soldiers. We are prepared for a long time, so there will be no accident."

"Mom, don't worry, I heard from everyone that my grandfather is a lucky general." Ji Xiaotang also comforted Mrs. Ji Er.

Mrs. Ji Er had no choice but to nod and secretly pray for peace for Mu Hong and his son.

After Qi Younian settled the affairs of Ji's mansion, he was about to take people to the county government. When Ji Xiaotang heard this, he handed Xie Huaijin to the hands of the people next to him, and hurriedly stood up.
