the emperor's man catches ghosts

The Evil Tiger Gang used to occupy Stone Mountain as an evil side. Half a year ago, they were completely defeated in the siege by the government. They helped the crowd to scatter, and only the deputy gang leader Qian Ba ​​and a few minions were left. trip.

But any gang that grows so big that one side dominates secretly has more or less interests in collusion with the government. This is the case with the Evil Tiger Gang. It can dominate one side by virtue of some connections with Jingzhao Mansion. When the wind and water flourished, the common people dared to be angry and dare not speak out.

However, since Xiao Chang left as prime minister, the Qing Dynasty's crackdown on corrupt officials was like a hurricane sweeping through the dark and dark corners of the court, and the Evil Tiger Gang was besieged by officers and soldiers following the conviction and downfall of Jingzhao Fuyin.

The good old days fade away, and Qian Ba's hatred for Xiao Changli can be imagined, this time Yun Xu happened to bump into his hand, and it really didn't take much effort.

Qian Ba ​​ordered his subordinates to lock Yunxu into a dilapidated house, and began to set up traps to make Xiao Changli come and go.Even if you can't kill him, it's good to dampen his spirit.

Yun Xu was very calm from the beginning to the end, not at all like a child who just turned six years old. Several minions who were assigned to watch over him were surprised and looked around him.Some people even suspect that he is a short dwarf, and his six-year-old body is actually seven or eighty years old.

But don't say it, this child is really delicate and lovely, the whole person is well-behaved and peaceful, especially the eyes are clearer than the most precious glass, and they seem to glow between glances.Being watched by these eyes, no one can express any bad thoughts.

But after staying with him for a while, the minions even had a feeling that their souls were purified and the world was beautiful.

"I'm so thirsty, could you please give me some water?" Yun Xu sat in the room and looked at them quietly, before saying anything after a while.

"Yes, yes, yes..." The minions responded repeatedly, scrambling to get water.

This mountain is called Shitou Mountain. There are many rocks in the mountain, and the paths are deep and dense. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack.Xiao Changli came alone and walked straight up the mountain path, not caring about whether there would be an ambush.

The mountains are empty and silent, the cicadas are noisy, and a round of red sun hangs over the distant mountains, like a huge eye pupil looking at the chaos of the world.

The siege by officers and soldiers that time was indeed ordered by him, he did not expect that a fish slipped through the net, Yun Xu would be bumped into by them when he left the palace for the first time, it was really a bit of luck.

Xiao Changli noticed the ambush when he walked halfway up the mountain. Those people didn't know how clumsy their ambush was, and they thought they were invisible.

Several sharp arrows came through the air, Xiao Changli didn't move much, and those people didn't even see clearly, but the arrows shot back to where they came from.

There were howls and howls from the bushes by the roadside, and several people rolled out, some were pierced by arrows in their arms, some in their shoulders, and none survived.

Xiao Changli grabbed the collar of one of them and said, "Where's the child?"

"In...in the stockade..."

Xiao Changli continued to move forward, and there was a steep slope in front of him. At this time, dust was flying and several boulders rolled down.Xiao Changli didn't hide or evade, went up to meet him, stepped on the boulder and jumped over.The stone rolled down, but those ambush minions suffered disaster, crying for their parents and fleeing in embarrassment.

"Brother... big brother, that Xiao Changli is alive and well, he has already passed the stone formation, and he is coming here!" A minion ran up in a panic, Qian Ba ​​spit, got up and walked into the room where Yun Xu was locked up. The hut grabs him up.

"Hey brother, take it easy, with his small body..." Seeing Yun Xu being lifted up in the air, the guy felt distressed, and came over to give him a hand, but was kicked away.The rest of the minions couldn't bear it, but no one had the guts to speak up.

Who made them bandits? It's unreasonable not to hurt the hostages, and there is absolutely no reason to save people.

That Qian Baxie came to the gallbladder, and asked a few people to stop Xiao Changli, while he grabbed Yun Xu and went to the mountain behind the village.There was a cliff there, and if he couldn't bear it anymore, he threw the child down the mountain. If he couldn't avenge him, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

A few mobs lingering on their last legs were naturally not Xiao Changli's opponents, so they were resolved in a few clicks. Before he could ask Yun Xu's whereabouts, that minion took the initiative to speak up, and reminded him to hurry or it might be too late.

Xiao Changli didn't dare to delay, and rushed to the edge of the cliff with lightness kung fu.

The wind came from heaven and earth, and his clothes and hair fluttered. Qian Ba ​​felt a great pressure when it came, and moved Yun Xu's hand to the edge of the cliff: "Don't come here, if I let go, This kid is going to be smashed to pieces."

Xiao Changli stopped and stared at him coldly: "Let him go."

Qian Ba ​​grinned grimly and said, "It's fine to let him go. I don't have any deep hatred with this doll, but Mr. Xiao..." He took out a short knife from his waist and threw it at Xiao Changli's feet, "If my lord is willing to end it on his own , I have money and debts, so naturally I won't embarrass him anymore."

Yun Xu was anxious and afraid, afraid that Xiao Changli would really die for him, but he couldn't break free from Qian Ba's iron-like palm.

Xiao Changli picked up the dagger and said, "You only want my life? Isn't 10 taels worth more than my life?"

Qian Bayi was stunned, he accidentally took revenge too seriously, almost forgot about it, almost the loss outweighed the gain.

"Where's the money?" He asked tentatively.

Xiao Changli said: "10 taels, I can't carry it by myself."

Qian Ba ​​thought for a while: "Bring the bank notes."

"I gave you a bank note, do you dare to go to the bank to exchange it?" Xiao Changli remained calm, "You will be arrested by the government within a day."

Qian Ba ​​was a little mad: "What on earth do you want..." He came back to his senses and grabbed Yun Xu's neck, "If you can't get the money, I'll just throw him down!"

Xiao Changli took a step forward and said, "Let him go, I can give you money."

Qian Ba ​​didn't believe it: "You think I'm stupid?"

"You can think about it carefully, what are the benefits to you by killing him or me?" Xiao Changli said, "If you let him go, I can give you a chance to get out."

Qian Ba ​​swallowed his saliva, his courage had almost dissipated long ago, thinking about it carefully, it was indeed of no benefit at all.

At this moment, a minion crawled over and said in a panic: "Brother, the officers and soldiers are fighting...they are coming up, and the crowd is full of people..."

Qian Bayi's legs almost went limp when he heard that, suddenly he saw Xiao Changli who was standing ten feet away suddenly disappeared, and before he could think about it, he felt a blur in front of his eyes, and he was already in front of him.

"Now, you have no chance." Xiao Changli supported Yun Xu with one hand, broke his arm with the other, and kicked him out.

Unexpectedly, the rocks on the edge of the cliff loosened and collapsed due to the turmoil. Xiao Changli only had time to hold on to Yun Xu, and the two fell down.

When the forbidden army arrived, there was only Qian Ba ​​rolling on the ground in pain on the edge of the cliff, and Yun Xu and Xiao Changli were nowhere to be seen.

The paper crane flew to the edge of the cliff and hovered for a long time. Guangxiu walked over and looked down, and said, "This is a big deal..."

Yuan Sheng thought that their falling off the cliff was more dangerous, so he hurriedly sent someone to find a rope to go down to rescue them, Guangxiu said: "It's okay, Xiao Changli won't die that easily." He walked up to Qian Ba, knelt down and looked at him, " My son said someone beat him, is it you?"

Qian Ba ​​was sweating profusely and shook his head again and again, Guangxiu smiled, and looked at the crowd restrained by officers and soldiers, and saw them nodding their heads and pointing at him in unison.

"It seems that you are right." Guangxiu clapped his hands, took out a small cloth bag from his bosom, pulled out a white worm from inside, handed it to Qian Ba, and coaxed him to open his mouth like a child.

Qian Ba ​​gritted his teeth tightly, as if swearing to die, Guangxiu pinched his nose and stuffed it directly.

"Dare to bully my son, I will let you taste it today, what is life worse than death."

"Xiao Xiang..." Yun Xu put his arms around Xiao Changli's waist, he could see the blood dripping down his arm, his nose was sore, "Does it hurt?"

When he fell down just now, Xiao Changli held him tightly in his arms, all the shocks and rocks hit his body, the pain can be imagined.

There was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Xiao Changli shook his head and asked, "How about you, are you alright?"

Yun Xu shook his head, raised his hand to help him wipe off the dust on his face.

At this moment, they were holding on to a rock on the cliff to barely stabilize themselves. Below them was a deep valley, deep and dangerous, and the ground above them was visible but inaccessible.

Yun Xu wasn't afraid, because there was a hand firmly wrapping around his back, giving him a feeling that even if the world collapsed, he would never let go.

This feeling is very familiar, reminding him of the first time he touched the air of this world and saw the light of this world for the first time a long time ago.At that time, this warm and peaceful atmosphere was already by his side.

Sometimes the father would deliberately and tirelessly tell him how good Prime Minister Xiao Changli is, and ask him to respect him and set him as an example for the rest of his life.

Needless to say, he knew all of this.

Xiao Changli adjusted his breathing, looked up at the top of the cliff, and said to Yun Xu: "Close your eyes in a minute, I'll take you up."

Yun Xu nodded, but did not close his eyes, because he was not afraid at all.

He felt the air suddenly become intense, and the wind whistling past his ears.The surrounding scenery changed rapidly, but for a moment, they were already standing on the flat ground.

"Brother, welcome back." Guangxiu stretched his arms to welcome him, "If you don't come up again, this Commander Yuan may jump off and die in his line of duty."

Yuan Sheng has even prepared the rope, and is wrapping it around his waist.Seeing that both Yun Xu and Xiao Changli were fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and ordered someone to report back to the palace.

"Xiao Xiang, those people are actually not bad, and they didn't really hurt me, can we deal with them lightly?" Yun Xu asked on the way back to the palace.

Xiao Changli smiled: "Okay."

Yun Xu looked at his wound that had been bandaged, felt relieved, and looked at Guangxiu who was sitting opposite the carriage: "Is Wei Ning okay?"

"It's okay." Thinking of coming to Guangxiu this time, I feel a little depressed. "Speaking of which, that kid usually yells and cries, and cries for little things. He's worse than you. It's really shameful. I have to clean him up when I go back."

Yun Xu said sincerely: "He was bitten by a dog and beaten again. It must be very painful. Don't blame him."

Seeing his appearance, Guangxiu's heart softened, and she couldn't help pinching his face: "Oh, you are such a lovable boy, no wonder a bunch of bandits didn't do anything to you. It's really unfair, we Aning was also born as a spiritual fetus, so why doesn't he have the ability to influence the world like you? All the beatings have happened to him."

Xiao Changli's brows moved slightly, and he looked at him: "What do you mean?"

Guangxiu said: "It means that your son is naturally likable, do you understand?" It sounded very sour.

Xiao Changli looked at Yun Xu thoughtfully, Yun Xu blinked, not quite understanding.

Wait, he just said... son?
