Poisonous Peasant ‘Concubine’

Maybe all the yamen are the concubines of the major families. Thinking of this, Ling Jingxuan can't help but feel a little depressed.

"Haha... It's the first time I've seen your expression. Could it be that my princess is also afraid?"

Seeing his tangled face, Yan Shengrui couldn't help joking with him, Ling Jingxuan smiled evilly: "I'm afraid, can you let me go back and stay here alone to fight those local tyrants?"

Hearing this, Yan Shengrui's face immediately became constipated, Ling Jingxuan couldn't help giggling, and the husband and wife walked towards the city gate while joking.

"Drive!" Just as they were about to leave the city, an ordinary carriage rushed in. Yiyihao passed them by mistake. Neither husband and wife noticed. It stopped suddenly, the curtain of the side window was lifted, and a head stuck out of it, staring at their backs for a long time until they disappeared at the city gate.

"Strictly manage things, what's wrong?"

After a long time no sound was heard, the man next to him who looked like a servant asked strangely.

"It's okay, it seems that I saw an acquaintance. I will go to Yao's house immediately. I have something important to report to the young master."

The man who is called strict management has a pair of bright peach blossom eyes, but at this moment, the bottom of those eyes is shining with evil spirits, and the originally handsome face seems to be a little distorted because of the evil spirits. Dare to say more, hurriedly urged the driver to leave.

Yan Shengrui Ling Jingxuan, who went out of the city, learned about the local folk customs and customs in southern Xinjiang, while leisurely wandering around the mountains and waters. After counting the time, he wandered between several cities. After a few days, he also gained a lot. First of all, the forces in southern Xinjiang are the most powerful. It is the Jiang family, not only because they privately occupied the gold mines and iron mines for bào profits, but also because they have close ties with some tribes in the deep mountains, which is incomparable to the other three families. The title of King of Southern Border has brought them great convenience and benefits. Then there is the Kang family. The Kang family almost controls most of the business lines in Southern Border. Many businessmen who live in Southern Border have to beg for food in their hands. Therefore, they are the wealthiest of the four major families, followed by the Yao family. The Yao family belongs to the real landlords. It is said that there was no Shanyang City in the southern border at the beginning. It was built by private forces, so they also own most of the shops and land inside and outside Shanyang City. They are like the emperors in Shanyang City. The last Tuoba family is a relatively moderate family, not the richest, the most prosperous. The most powerful, each ranked after the other three major families, but it is difficult for other families to surpass them. The four major families have their own characteristics, and it is basically impossible to destroy them in one fell swoop.

Besides, the folk customs in southern Xinjiang, except in various cities, the local people in southern Xinjiang are indeed exclusive as rumored. Yan Shengrui Ling Jingxuan has been wandering in the past few days, and he has also tried to contact the locals outside the city, but the result? ? It's not ideal, and this is a village close to the city. If it is a village that has been hidden in the mountains and forests all the year round, I am afraid it will be more difficult to approach. However, Ling Jingxuan still found a breakthrough from various unfavorable conditions. It is customary to say that food, clothing, housing and transportation are the real livelihood of the people. The more isolated the place is, the greater the contrast between the rich and the poor. In addition, the southern Xinjiang is mountainous and close to the sea, and the arable land is very limited, and most of it is controlled by the four major families and others. In the hands of a slightly inferior family, if the people want to farm, they must pay half of the harvest, plus taxes. Of course, the southern border has never paid taxes to the imperial court, and it goes without saying who the people paid the taxes. In fact, the life of ordinary people is very hard, as long as they can start from this aspect, it is not impossible to conquer the hearts of the people.

This afternoon, the husband and wife entered Tianhong City, where the Kang family was located. They found an inn that looked pleasing to the eye and entered. They asked for a good room, ordered a few signature dishes, and sat down in the corner of the lobby. Down, this kind of place is often the place where the news is most circulated.

"Two guest officers, your dishes are here."

Not long after, the second shopkeeper brought up the dishes they ordered and a pot of hot tea specially requested by Ling Jingxuan. They have been wandering in and out of the city for the past few days. Like last night, they used to have their father and the others at home, and they basically didn’t lack game, but he was tired of eating game in the past two days. To eat game in the mountains is to roast it with salt. It's almost full of sultry. It's been five years since I traveled. In terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, these few days are undoubtedly the most bitter.

"Um?"

After Xiao Er left, Ling Jingxuan lifted the tea cups and poured a cup of hot tea for each other. When the tea was brought to his lips, Ling Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly exchanged glances with Yan Shengrui. Scanning the inn, the two pairs of eyes burst into a cold jīng light. Now, looking at it again, the atmosphere of many people in this inn seems to be wrong.

Realizing that they had been targeted, the husband and wife stood up at the same time, Yan Shengrui took out a silver ingot and threw it on the table, and quickly left with Ling Jingxuan's waist. At the same time, many people who seemed to be ordinary people also followed. go up.

"Get on the horse, there are too many people here, go outside the city to deal with them."

The inn is in the middle of a busy city, and his poison is basically useless. If he starts with them, it will only be them who suffer.

"Um"

First put Ling Jingxuan on the horse, Yan Shengrui turned over and sat behind him, tightening the reins with one hand, and waving the whip with the other, the good horses galloped out, and the people who followed them from the inn also ran after them. .

"How could our whereabouts be revealed? Could it be that something went wrong with Xiaobei and the others?"

Ling Jingxuan, who was sitting in the front, didn't need to ride a horse, and his mind quickly opened up. No one should have seen them in the southern border, and to avoid accidents, except for Yao Shunxi, they basically had no direct contact with the people of the four major families. The only thing Ling Jingxuan could think of was that something went wrong on the child's side.

"It shouldn't be. If there is a problem with the children, Yi will notify us. Maybe we have missed something."

Yan Shengrui replied in a deep voice while riding the horse, Ling Jingxuan nodded in agreement, Yan Yi and the others are still very reliable, so what is the problem? And the situation just now was also very wrong. They knew that he would use poison, so how could they put poison in the tea? It's going to be dark soon. Anyone with a little brain should wait until it's dark before taking action, right? Or? ? Is there any secret in this?

"The poison in the tea seems to be warning us. As for the people behind, they should be sent by the four major families."

Ling Jingxuan also came to a conclusion as the horses hooves splashed. Yan Shengrui looked down at him and said nothing. He continued to drive the steed to more remote places outside the city. It doesn't matter how their whereabouts were leaked. It is important to address those behind.

"drive!"

"Hush?"

Dozens of fast horses were chasing them behind. The people on the horses seemed to have martial arts skills. There were several different noises in the air. Yan Shengrui looked back and quickly avoided the first wave of arrows. Involuntarily, he shoved the reins into Ling Jingxuan's hands: "Go ahead and wait for me."

"shhhhh"

In the next second, Yan Shengrui exerted force on his waist and buttocks, and the whole person flew up from the back of the horse. The sharp arrows burst into the air like a rain of arrows. Yan Shengrui drew the sword from his waist with a swipe, and turned his wrists a few times, and he came towards him. His sharp arrows were all broken into two pieces and lay on the ground, and then his men also landed steadily, blocking the way of others with one sword and one sword.

"superior!"

The man who urgently tightened the reins gave an order, and everyone turned over and dismounted, and dozens of people trapped Yan Shengrui in the middle.

"Sheng Rui!"

After finally controlling the frightened horse, Ling Jingxuan shouted and rushed back. The trapped Yan Shengrui frowned, "Don't come here, their swords are all poisonous!"

The collision of the swords was enough for him to tell whether their weapons were poisonous or not.

"Shut up!"

"Catch him, life or death!"

Aware of the fetters between the two, several of them rushed over with big knives. Yan Shengrui slammed and separated the people who surrounded him. At the same time, Ling Jingxuan had already turned over and dismounted, a layer of powder almost invisible to the naked eye. His body was scattered around the axis, and the thin cherry-red lips opened a bloodthirsty smile, and they were the ones who sought death first.

"Hmm! Sure enough, I use poison, but it's useless. We Southern Border people are more likely to use poison than you!"

"Bang!"

However, those who rushed towards him only had a short meal, and they came to him after a few jumps, and the sharp sword was aimed at his head and slashed down, but Ling Jingxuan was not a vegetarian, although He was shocked that his poison had failed for the first time, but he quickly reacted. He turned sideways to dodge the opponent's fatal attack. Suddenly, a small scalpel blocked the sharp incision.
