At night, a small light flashed in a room in a residential house in the city.

The oil lamp as big as a bean made the room dim. He Xuan sat next to the desk, looking at a jade bracelet in his hand, muttering something.

He was the only one in the room, so he looked like he was talking to himself, but He Xuan was talking to his sister.

This jade bracelet is the relics of his sister He Yuyuan. Looking at the bracelet, it feels like seeing her sister.

The brother and sister were born in the He family of Chen County (Yangxia). That year, the Liang army invaded Henan and burned, killed and looted in Yangxia, and broke through the Hejiabao Village. The He Xuan and his sister escaped by chance, but the tribe members were all injured and injured.

Since then, He Xuan has been determined to take revenge, and in order to avenge his family, He Yuyuan has taken the initiative to sacrifice herself to get close to Emperor Liang.

Five years ago, He Yuyuan, who pretended to be a daughter of Zheng in Xingyang, became a nobleman of Emperor Liang Xiao Xun under the arrangement of He Xuan.

He Xuan overcame many difficulties and assassinated Liang General who led his troops to break through Hejiabao Village.

Later, He Yuyuan successfully assassinated the emperor in the palace, and then committed suicide, and died.

He Xuan was quite sad for his sister's death, but he still did not forget to take revenge because the other murderer Li Li was still alive.

Emperor Xiao Xun of Liang must have heard the instigation of his father-in-law Li Li, so that the generals were massacred. Therefore, Li Li was also the murderer and would die.

After Xiao Xun's death, Li Li became the emperor because of the death of his son-in-law. Of course, He Xuan didn't want this person to be free for too long, so he carefully planned and wanted to assassinate him.

But there is no chance at all.

Before, when Li Li was on a tour, He Xuan followed secretly with his subordinates, hoping to find an opportunity to start.

As a result, someone else wanted to assassinate Li Li, but failed one after another, alarming the other party.

This led to He Xuan having to give up the assassination, return to Huaiyin, and continue waiting for the opportunity.

He and his subordinates have no land and do not know how to run the industry, so they need to find ways to make money to maintain daily expenses and necessary expenses.

It happened that horse racing was so popular that many people were obsessed with it. Many people were rumored that there was "insider news" that you could know in advance which horse would win a certain race.

He Xuan is very familiar with horses, and based on this situation, he came up with a trick to cheat money.

Predict the number of horses with higher chances of winning in a certain game on a certain day, then write letters to predict different horses, and then throw them to some people.

Then, based on the results of the last game, a certain game was predicted on a certain day, and then the letter was submitted to the person who had "predicted correctly" the last time.

After repeated several rounds of screening, some people will receive letters and all the prediction results will be achieved.

Then, his people can make transactions with the other party and cheat money under the guise of "insider information" transactions.

Because the selected people have different identities and family backgrounds, different "transaction requirements" must be imposed according to the specific situation.

One of their trading partners has a special situation.

This person was Xiao Miaoqing, the princess of Liyang in the previous dynasty. He was outstanding in appearance, widowed at home, his parents' home, and his husband's family had no support, and he was short of money and was eager to make a fortune.

He Xuan had a grudge with the Jiankang court, and the Emperor of the Xiao family killed his whole family, so there was no need to talk about the princess of the Xiao family.

So, he planned to sell Xiao Miaoqing and exchange it for money and food.

But Xiao Miaoqing's family is in a shortage. In order to paralyze the other party, He Xuan designed transaction conditions for Xiao Miaoqing's identity and a rumor.

There are rumors that Queen Xiao Xun gave birth to a boy back then, but the boy's grandfather Li Li claimed that he was a girl in order to facilitate usurpation of the throne.

Therefore, the transaction conditions proposed by He Xuan were to let Xiao Miaoqing confirm that Empress Xiao Xun gave birth to a man or a woman.

As for whether the information provided by the other party is true or false, it doesn't matter anymore.

This plan is good, Xiao Miaoqing was reluctant to let go of the opportunity to make money and frequently went to other palaces to visit the Queen Mother of the previous dynasty.

But at this moment, He Xuan sent someone to follow Xiao Miaoqing to find that it seemed that the government hawks were also paying attention to Xiao Miaoqing.

After He Xuan found out, he felt that a great opportunity came:

Perhaps, it was someone from the Jockey Club who found that someone bets on "insider information" to make a profit, so he sent someone to investigate.

The Jockey Club was facilitated by Li Li, so Li Li may know about Xiao Miaoqing's gambling profit.

So...

He Xuan said to the bracelet: "Sister, if his people saved Xiao Miaoqing today, they would definitely save the beautiful woman on the same boat."

"When Li Zhe saw that beautiful woman, he might have taken it for himself."

"If so, one night, he will be strangled to death, just like you, who is strangled to death by Xiao's surname."

As he spoke, he was choked up: "Sister, I hope you will be born in a wealthy family in the next life, and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and be safe and safe..."

After calming down his mood, He Xuan put down his jade bracelet and took out a small cloth bag he carried with him.

After spreading it out, there is a bunch of long hair inside.

He Xuan gently touched the bunch of hair, his eyes dim.

After his sister passed away, he bought a nine-year-old girl in order to assassinate Li Li. The girl looks outstanding and will definitely be a beauty when she grows up.

This is true. Five years later, the little girl grew up and stood tall and graceful.

This is the assassin prepared by He Xuan. He recognized it as his pampered sister and raised it like a sister.

However, after five years of time, the relationship between brother and sister became closer and closer, and this girl had a different relationship with him.

He Xuan saw it, his heart was as if he was shattered. The sister-in-law knew that she was just a tool, but she was willing to sacrifice herself for him and carry out assassination.

When I leave, I leave a bunch of hair and make my thoughts.

Today, Xiao Miaoqing was indeed trapped and tied up by his people and threw him onto the ship.

As planned, the sister pretended to be a tied woman and was locked up with Xiao Miaoqing.

The government hawk was ready and rescued Xiao Miaoqing and took away the beautiful woman tied to the same boat.

Perhaps, in a few days, the person named Li took a fancy to the beautiful woman and took it for himself, so...

He Xuan looked at the bunch of hair in a daze, tears flowing out of her eyes, and quickly raised her hand to wipe her eyes.

One after another, the woman who was in love with him and the woman who was willing to die for him because of love was sent to a dead end by him.

Even with the righteousness of revenge, he still felt guilty in front of these two women.

If Li Zhe didn't like you, then... that's fine.

I'll find another way...

He Xuan was stunned for a while. Seeing that the night was getting darker outside, he put away his bracelet and hair, cleaned up, blew out the oil lamp, and went to bed.

As soon as I lay down, I suddenly heard a whistle coming from outside the window.

This is an alarm issued by Shi Ye.

He immediately jumped out of the bed, picked up his knife and ran out.

As soon as I went out, I saw several followers running: "Langjun, many people are coming outside!"

He Xuan immediately made arrangements: "Retreat! Retreat separately! Meet according to the agreed location!"

As soon as he finished speaking, fire was lit outside the yard wall. It seemed that the government hawks and dogs lit torches and surrounded the entire yard.

He Xuan and his entourage were divided into two groups and broke through the siege in reverse. As a result, there were people outside the wall, and there were many crossbowmen, so they couldn't break out at all.

Someone hit the yard gate, and many people shouted outside the wall, "Surrender and not kill". It is conceivable that they are already in the jar.

He Xuan knew that she could not see the sun tomorrow, and knew that the matter was exposed, and her sister couldn't survive anymore, and her heart suddenly calmed down.

Looking at the He family's troops who have followed him for many years and helped him take revenge, he saluted: "Thank you for helping me kill the thief! He has no choice but to repay you. In the next life, I will repay you with kindness!"

The followers were full of grief and anger: "Mr.! I swear to escort my husband to break through the siege!"

"No, I'm the only one to exchange for a glimmer of hope for you." He Xuan showed his determination, "It's enough for me to die."

He smashed his sister's bracelet and swallowed it into his mouth.

He smiled at his followers and climbed over to the wall.

Outside the wall, there were bright lights and soldiers, countless people were looking at him, and countless crossbows were facing him.

"Surrender and not kill! Surrender and not kill!"

The shouts filled his ears, He Xuan grinned, waved his sword, and jumped off the wall.

Behind him, his entourage also jumped down, took the weapon in his hand, and rushed with the husband.

The arrows were like rain, and the moths that were fighting for fire were wrapped in blood. He Xuan, who was in the body, vomited blood in his mouth and fell to the ground along with his left and right.

He felt severe pain all over his body, and he was nauseous and wanted to vomit, but he gritted his teeth to prevent himself from spitting out the fragments of his hair and bracelets.

The vision began to darken, but suddenly the light shone and two figures appeared in the light.

Two women stood side by side, waving to him and shouting happily:

"Brother..."

"Brother!"
