Chapter 24 Biography of Xue Xun
Xue Xun now seems to be counting the days. He knows that the prince is at a critical point, but he doesn't know the exact time of the outbreak.So Xue Xun heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of weapons clashing at night, and finally waited until the other boot fell to the ground.
As I said earlier, the Xue family’s mansion was rebuilt from the Duke’s Mansion. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and occupies a vast area. Apart from the Xue family’s old mansion, the Xue family’s servants and subordinates live on one street, so even if such a big event happened at night, there is no danger There was a quarrel, and the people in the old house had already made all preparations.
Xue Xun climbed up the tall building and took out his clairvoyance to see the scene of the long street outside the door. There were about a hundred masked men in black, well-trained. The front team held long knives and charged bravely. I have a strong sense of martial arts, and I can't help the crossbow, but I can't help the bow. In the hands of a master, a strong bow is a sharp weapon for killing people from a long distance.
This fight was silent and cruel. The masked man did not shout slogans or yell loudly, and Xue's family was also silent. There were only the sound of the collision of weapons, the sound of arrows flying in the wind, and the short muffled sound of death.People from both sides were trained as dead warriors, maybe they were "brothers" from the same origin, the deep night covered up this silent fight.
Xue Xun quietly raised his clairvoyant eyes and kept watching.This is the territory of the Xue family. Although those people are well-trained, there are only one hundred and ten people in the end. When the long swordsmen of the front team are dead and injured, the archers of the rear team pull out their long swords to keep up, but they are popped up from behind. The Xue family reinforcements made dumplings.
The leader of the Xue family said the first sentence of the night: "Disarm and don't kill." The masked man didn't seem to hear this sentence, and the long knife he raised was the best answer.The two sides fought together again, the sound of collisions and muffled groans kept ringing out, and they were used to killing or being killed silently.At the end of the battle, the besieged dead soldiers wiped their necks with their backhands and committed suicide without any nonsense.
Xue Xun held his clairvoyance high all the time, seeing that all the attacking people were killed in battle, and then put down his aching arm.Yinshuang, who was standing next to him, made a semaphore, and a group of heavily armed men walked out of the west corner gate. They were all wrapped up tightly, with no skin exposed on their faces, arms, and necks. White sequins.This group of people came slowly in a flatbed carriage. The dead men who had just fought helped drag the corpses to a pile, and then retreated silently. The rest of the work was left to this team of "cleaners".
The "corpse powder" that Mr. Ma used on the boat came in handy again. These people poured out a huge rot liquid from a clay pot. Even standing on a high-rise building in the distance, Xue Xun could still see the dead body. The green smoke that came out, the pungent smell seemed to linger at the tip of the nose.
In a short time, the numerous corpses turned into pitted bones. Mr. Ma once modestly said that the corpse water that "needs to be improved" cannot melt the bones.The clean-up team took a long shovel and shoveled the bones into black waterproof thick bags and threw them into the carriage. The corpses that originally took dozens of carriages could be loaded in only two carriages now.
The cleaning team led the carriage back slowly to the West Corner Gate, and a large group of Xue family servants in uniform came out leading the water pipes. The water pipes were directly connected to the wells, and there were water hoses for firefighting. The flood water began to wash away the land, and the long street was cleaned up. , The walls on both sides were washed with water.Xue Xun used to wonder why the outer walls of Xue's house were not painted like other houses, but were filled with stone slabs. Only now did he find that the stone slabs are so easy to clean. Could it be that his ancestors had expected it to be today.Or could it be said that the long street he walked in the past was actually covered with blood and bones?
Xue Xun just kept watching, and waited until the boys who washed the long street had retreated, he held his chest, ran to the corner and vomited out with a loud wow.
The golden beast patted his back lightly, and Xue Xun was about to spit out his bile.Having nothing to vomit, Xue Xun took the skin bag from Yinshuang's hand and rinsed his mouth, keeping away from the puddle of stinky liquid.
Why did he push himself so hard?In the current war, you can't force it!Xue Xun didn't want that when the two sides were fighting, he would be the backbone, but his hands and feet would be weak due to nausea, which would affect morale.He is not born and bred like the prince, he does not take human life seriously, this will become his weakness in the war, the hero sword and the hero's soul have never been incompatible.
"Master, there's news from the front that Shi Gui insists on seeing you, the brothers can't bear the pressure anymore." Yinshuang whispered.
"Can I see him now?" Xue Xun asked softly. The reason why those men in black went forward bravely and divided into front and rear teams was because they thought they had backup.These dead men should have shouted loudly to give Shi Gui a reason to raid the Xue family mansion, but it was a pity that Xue Xun destroyed it.
The royal soldiers were all trained by Xue's family, Xue Xun didn't know what was going on when they fought, silence was what they should look like.After all, Shi Gui is the leader of the army, the army is completely different from the dead soldiers, Shi Gui waited outside, even if he tried to find an excuse to come in and check if he heard the noise.
"Master, please..." Yinshuang said.They cleaned the battlefield very cleanly, and Shi Gui didn't dare to attack Xue's old house without any obvious evidence.The "Xue Mansion" plaque on the middle gate was inscribed by Taizu himself.
Xue Xun wore a cloak and loose hair, went to the living room yawning, and said, "Brother Yu Chong came to visit so early, what is the matter?"
Shi Gui watched him pretending, and said coldly: "I'm here, and I was blocked outside for half an hour, why don't you know better than me?"
"What? Brother Yu Chong was blocked outside for half an hour?" Xue Xun pretended to be surprised and reprimanded, "Why didn't you report it?"
The golden beast said aggrievedly: "Master, it's late at night, and you live in the inner courtyard. It will take some time for the younger ones to pass the news in. The younger one received the news from the guards that Mr. Shi is visiting, so report it to the inner courtyard immediately. It's already the fastest."
"Brother Yuzhong, you see, it's because I trained my subordinates to the detriment, neglected, neglected."
Shi Gui came late at night, not to watch this clumsy performance, he said coldly: "At least give me their bones, they are all loyal to the country, why bother with the corpses."
"What? Brother Yuzhong, what are you talking about?" Xue Xun pretended to be stupid.
When Shi Gui passed the long street in front of Xue's house, he knew that he could not get the slightest evidence, but seeing Xue Xun pushing four, five, six, he still couldn't get angry, and said: "I was still complaining about you, but now Only then did I know that there must be an effect if there is a cause, and you have no eyes on the king, no wonder you ended up like this. For the sake of the friendship, I advise you to turn back as soon as possible!"
"My lord Shi, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. The Xue family is a law-abiding businessman. Even if the blue eyes give calligraphy, the Xue family will enshrine it. How can there be no one who is not the king? It's useless for you to say Don't you feel guilty for having such a bloody encounter?"
"Hmph! Your servants are really diligent, cleaning the long street in the middle of the night." Shi Gui sneered.
"Oh, thank you for the compliment, you are indeed diligent. Golden Beast, give out red envelopes to everyone who gets up early to clean the floor." Xue Xun lazily said, "Maybe it's almost Chinese New Year, let's say goodbye to the old and welcome the new!"
Shi Gui sneered, flung his sleeves and walked away, saying nothing more than half a word, there was nothing more to say between them.
So far, Shi Gui and Xue Xun are completely torn apart.
Shi Gui couldn't get the evidence, so Xue Xun couldn't. The prince dared to send the dead, but he didn't dare to arrest him blatantly. Doesn't it mean that he still fears the Xue family?
Xue Xun let out a long sigh: "The new year is hard!"
After this scene, half of the prince's hidden guards came in. Don't think that the prince can support many people, he is only the second in command after all.
The south is at war, and the nomads in the north are also eyeing it. There are many affairs in the country, and it is impossible for the crown prince to focus on Xue Xun all the time.The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and all the yamen are busy with year-end summaries and final conclusions. The pros and cons of this year's evaluation are all waiting for His Majesty to judge. Xue Xun let go of this trivial matter for the time being.
Xue Xun spent a warm and peaceful New Year in the old house, no one came and went to visit, only his wife, children and confidants.
Even if the long street in front of Xue's old house has been washed with clean water, those who are well-informed can always see the blood under the bluestone slabs.Now the imperial court's attitude is unclear, and no one dares to take the risk of making friends with Xue Xun.But looking at Xue Xun's stubborn resistance, I don't know what follow-up methods he has. People in business are tactful.The number of people giving gifts during the New Year this year has increased compared to previous years, but none of them came to the door.
That's why Xue Xun was so shocked when he received Jia Amnesty's annual gift and his own letter.Jia She asked his cronies to visit him disguised as a businessman. Seeing Jia She's full of worries and anxieties, he boasted that if His Majesty blamed him for taking away the Xue family's property, he would lend him a lot of money.
Naive, he thought Xue Xun's actions were at most a crime of confiscating his family property.This Jia She is the eldest son at any rate, how did he develop such a temperament, innocent and benevolent, ignorant of worldly affairs, his father was determined to kill him in front of the emperor, to let Jia Daishan know that his son was trying to tear him down behind his back, I don't know how angry I am.It's a miracle that Jia Amnesty was able to win the title in the end, and Jia Daishan didn't kill this unworthy son.
With Jia Amnesty's level, who can his subordinates hide from him?Such a stupid person, but why is Xue Xun so sweet?
"I see, you can stay in Jinling, I will send someone to report to your uncle." Xue Xun said to the visitor with a smile.
"cocoa……"
"But what, there are a lot of tails on the back, didn't you find it all the way from the capital to Jinling? If I really let you out, you can only be loyal to your uncle in a tomb." Xue Xun said coldly road.
The servant was given to Jia by the old lady Jia, and the old lady also gave many instructions before leaving the house. Since the master said it, he did it. He couldn't be smarter than the master.
"Yes, I will listen to Uncle Xue."
Hearing this address, Xue Xun knew that in Jia She's eyes, they were still the same as before, the uncles of the Xue family and the uncles of the Jia family who grew up together.
As I said earlier, the Xue family’s mansion was rebuilt from the Duke’s Mansion. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and occupies a vast area.
