Chapter 70 Back to Daliang (2)

The four personal guards were guests from afar. The housekeeper set up a separate table in a small villa west of the Hou Mansion to welcome the four people. Du Gang had a special status. He was not only the Black Eagle Army, but also the future husband of Xiao Lianzi, the most close-fitting maid of Fu Niangzi. Therefore, the housekeeper invited Du Gang to accompany the four Lion Camp guards.

According to Du Gang's suggestion, there were no mixed dishes at the banquet. A large pot of steaming mutton soup was placed on the table, full of bone-shaped mutton with fists, as well as several pots of vegetarian dishes and three pots of old wine.

As the saying goes, when you meet a close friend with a thousand cups of wine, the guards talked to Du Gang about the battle of Lijiaba against the Tubo people and the duel with the Uighurs on the banks of the Wei River. Du Gang was extremely fascinated by hearing it.

"This is the biggest casualty in a battle between the Black Eagle Army. More than 300 cavalry left, and Li Wu's brother died by the river. We went to clean the battlefield. The soil on the river was soaked in black with blood," a guard said with red eyes.

"On the bank of the Wei River, Deputy Chief He led a thousand cavalry and fought head-on with two thousand Uighur soldiers. No matter how fierce the Uighurs were, they were still beaten by the Black Diao Army. The soldiers in Huainan were not as strong as the Uighurs. If the Black Diao Army had gone to fight Huainan, they would have been defeated by Shouzhou long ago." Another soldier slapped his chest with a "bang, bang" sound.

Du Gang came from the Lion Camp and was considered a senior of the Lion Camp. He is now following Meng Shu and is the deputy of Feiying Hall. He is mainly responsible for collecting the situation of the military generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty. His location is very critical. However, in order not to attract attention, he is still the chief of the Black Eagle Army Lion Camp in name, responsible for the security and security of the Daliang Marquis Mansion. He reminded kindly: "We can just say this. This is Daliang. If Ruozecai's words are heard by the imperial guards of the Palace Front Office or the Guards Department, he will definitely not be convinced. Daliang is the territory of the imperial guards, and he will not suppress the local snakes. We should act low-key to avoid causing trouble."

"Captain Du is just saying these words. We just say them in this yard and don't talk nonsense when we go out."

"Come on, I'll pay another cup to Team Du."

Xiao Lianzi carried a few meat pies in a bamboo basket and came to the small yard. When she saw a few people drinking like water, she said, "Don't drink too much. Come and eat the cake. This is the meat pie that was made, and it tastes delicious while it is hot." After Xiao Lianzi entered the house, she naturally stood behind Du Gang.

Du Gang and the five others had a great alcohol tolerance. Soon, the third pot of wine was almost finished. Du Gang still shook the pot a few times for the sake of his enjoyment. He said to Xiao Lianzi, "Go and get us some more bars."

Xiao Lianzi knew that Du Gang could drink, but when she saw him drinking, she said, "I'll go find Liu San to ask for a pot."

After Xiao Lianzi left, the guard who was familiar with Du Gang said, "This is my sister-in-law."

Du Gang said shyly and happily: "We are getting married soon."

The four personal guards were all bachelors who were full of food and the whole family was not hungry. They were so envious of Luoluo and beautiful and gentle little lotus seeds.

Liu Wu was the custodian of the Hou Mansion kitchen. He was a famous miser, so he was arranged to keep wine, meat and other things. He was short and had a little hunchback. No matter who asked him for money, even if the housekeeper spoke, it would be like cutting his meat.

Xiao Lianzi is a close confidant of Fu Niangzi. Although Liu San is stingy, he is still not stupid. He looked at Xiao Lianzi with the corner of his eyes. After he hesitating for a while, he took a pot of wine to Xiao Lianzi, and kept nagging: "No one else has come to get wine. Who can drink so much? No matter how big the property is, it can't stand it."

Xiao Lianzi felt extremely uncomfortable when she heard the last few words. She came to Du Gang’s villa with wine angrily. She stood at the door for a while, changed into a smile before entering the courtyard.

The five people were already drunk and drank while recalling the soldiers who died in battle. As they spoke, an excited soldier had already cried.

The pot of wine that Xiao Lianzi brought was soon drunk by the five people. Looking at Du Gang's begging eyes, Xiao Lianzi couldn't bear to have no face in front of the others and said, "You eat the food first, and I'll get another pot."

Du Gang looked at Xiao Lianzi with gratitude. He did not expect that in less than a stick of incense, an accidental event would leave him and Xiao Lianzi forever separated from Yin and Yang.

Xiao Lianzi didn't want to ask Liu San for wine anymore. She knew that she had left the gate of the Hou Mansion and walked eastward. There was a wine shop on the left side of the first intersection. So Xiao Lianzi quietly walked out of the yard with an empty wine pot.

Four or five sergeants who were drunk in the wine shop were sitting, one of whom had a long scar on his head. These sergeants were all imperial guards in front of the palace.

Before the Gaoping War, the imperial guards in the palace summoned many vicious illegal people. Why were the imperial guards summoning these illegal people? This was related to the tense situation at that time and Chai Rong's concept. In February of the first year of Xiande, the Northern Han took advantage of Chai Rong's new ascension to the throne to avenge the revenge of Taizu Guo Wei's seizure and the land conquest during the Guangshun period, and joined forces with the Khitan army to raise troops to guide the south. This was the prelude to the later Gaoping War.

Chai Rong had an existing concept in his mind, that is, "most of the brave men of Victory came from the thieves." In order to strengthen his force, he issued an edict to select brave people from rogues and robbers from all over the country to join the imperial guards in front of the palace. Moreover, anyone who is willing to participate in the imperial guards will be exempted from their previous crimes. Therefore, a considerable number of local gangsters turned into imperial guards.

After the Gaoping War, Chai Rong also discovered that although these imperial guards in front of the palace fought bravely, their military records were corrupt. After the Gaoping War, the imperial guards abolished the imperial guards. Since then, the imperial guards mainly came from smart and powerful people in the troops in various places, and did not allow robbers to join the army. At the same time, Zhao Kuangyin ordered the imperial guards to rectify the imperial guards. Later, the imperial guards participated in several major wars, and most of the powerful people who joined the imperial guards before the Gaoping War died in the battlefield. The imperial guards in front of the palace have gradually become a team with strict military discipline.

Xiao Lianzi was really unlucky. The people I met at the wine shop were just a few imperial guards who were born into bandits and had great fortunes. They saved their lives from the pile of dead people outside Shouzhou City. When they returned to the capital, they still had the evil spirit of the war. When Xiao Lianzi entered the wine shop, they were smashing the table of the wine shop.

Several soldiers were already drunk and saw Xiao Lianzi entering the wine shop with a wine pot. A soldier with a long scar on his face came to Xiao Lianzi and said, "My wife, who will make wine for? I'll give us a pot."

Xiao Lianzi glanced at the drunk soldiers with the corner of her eyes, ignored them, and said to the waiter: "Hurry up."

The soldier still refused to give in and said, "We have worked hard on the battlefield to keep you safe. Isn't it possible to make a pot of wine for us to drink?"

The waiter didn't know Xiao Lianzi, so he whispered: "Miss. I've finished the wine, go home quickly."

Seeing that Du Gang didn't believe it, the servant suddenly said, "What the neighbors saw is that Xiao Lianzi is still lying outside the wine shop, hurry up."

When Du Gang heard Xiao Lianzi lying in the wine shop, his face suddenly turned pale. He didn't carry a knife on his body. He pulled out a knife on his body and ran out of the door, with four guards following closely behind.

When he arrived at the wine shop, Du Gang pushed away the crowd of onlookers and saw the little lotus lying on the ground. Du Gang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly knelt beside Xiao Lianzi, touched Xiao Lianzi's hand with his hand, and shouted softly as usual: "Little lotus sci-

." But Xiao Lianzi did not react at all. Blood flowed down Xiao Lianzi's white cheeks and dripped on the ground. More than a dozen flies were hovering in the air.

At this time, the family members of the Marquis' Mansion and the maids rushed to the wine shop one after another, and the maids' cried and shouted in a whole lot.

Du Gang picked up Xiao Lianzi, walked into the wine shop, and gently placed Xiao Lianzi on a chair. He turned his face and asked fiercely, "Who is the waiter?"

People photographed Du Gang's ferocity, but no one answered. However, they turned their heads and looked at a man squatting in the corner and trembling.

Du Gang walked over and put the knife around the waiter's neck. The blade was tightly pressed against the waiter's neck blood vessels, and asked in a deep voice: "Who did it?"

The waiter stuttered: "It's not me, it's not me."

"Who did it?"

"It was done by the imperial guards in front of the palace. There was a man named Zhang Scarface."

Someone in the crowd said, "Zhang Scarface, the local team of the imperial guards in the south of the city is in good condition, this person is very bad."

Du Gang said to a maid of the Marquis's Mansion with blood red eyes: "Look at Xiaolianzi." After that, he went straight to the imperial guards' camp in the south of the city.

As soon as Du Gang left, Hou Dayong and Fu Ying also hurried to the wine shop.

After Hou Dayong and Fu Ying entered the main yard, they had instructed not to disturb anyone. After the passionate, they were not wearing clothes. They lay lazily on the bed and talked about gossip. Suddenly, a shout came from outside the yard: "Xiao Lianren was beaten to death." Hou Dayong and Fu Ying looked at each other. Fu Ying and Xiao Lianzi were like sisters. She knew that they did not dare to shout outside the main yard. It must be that something happened to Xiao Lianzi, but Xiao Lianzi was in the house, how could he be beaten to death? Who has such a great courage?

Fu Ying was in a hurry to put on her clothes, but made mistakes. After Hou Dayong put on her clothes, he pushed the door and walked into the yard. Fu Ying said anxiously: "Don't open the yard gate, I haven't put it in it yet."

The family of the Hou Mansion quickly told the story. When Hou Dayong heard Du Gang go to the Southern Camp of the Imperial Guard with a knife, he said to Fu Ying: "Du Gang is on the fire. If something happens, I will hurry to the Southern Camp of the Imperial Guard. You can handle the matter here."

When Hou Dayong led a dozen people to the Nanjun Camp, the gate of the Nanjun Camp was already in chaos. Twenty or thirty imperial guards were surrounding them. Fighting with the people inside, the sound of weapons colliding constantly came from the circle. A young and handsome captain stood outside the circle and cursed at a team beside him: "The wild man is here, dare to come to the imperial guards in front of the palace to play wild. Zhang San, you are not bragging at the usual charity, but today you will be soft-boosted when you encounter a tough hand. Why haven't you taken these people down yet?"

When the team leader Zhang San heard this, his face was a little uneasy. He shouted: "Catch these people quickly and I'll treat you tonight."

Hou Dayong didn't want to make things worse, so he shouted, "Stop it all."

The lieutenant was twenty-two years old, and he was on duty at the South Camp of the Imperial Guards. He was so angry that he was very angry, saying, "Who are you? Are these people from your country? I know where this is really a leopard courage."

Hou Dayong said one person behind him: "This is the governor of Xiongsheng Army, hurry up and ask your people to stop."

The lieutenant named Zheng Xinjin, and was the youngest son of the late Privy Councilor. He was young but knowledgeable and knew that those people could not be offended. He heard that he was Hou Dayong, the governor of Xiongsheng Army, and did not dare to neglect him. He shouted to the soldiers: "Stop and retreat."

The imperial guards surrounded Du Gang heard the orders of Captain Zheng and slowly dispersed and surrounded him. In front of the military camp, several imperial guards were injured. Du Gang and the five others were injured, and Du Gang was even stabbed several times, covered in blood, but the wounds were not fatal.

The five people came to Hou Dayong and saluted the military salute neatly. Hou Dayong glanced at Du Gang and said, "I understand your feelings, but it's too rash. The Imperial Guards' barracks, you can break in with you, I'll come later, you either become prisoners or be hacked to death."

Zheng Xinjin admired these soldiers very much. Needless to say, these five people broke into the Imperial Guard's camp alone. Although the Imperial Guard did not kill them, more than thirty people failed to capture them. His martial arts were also real. Although they were strange in marching in front of the Jiedu Hou Dayong, they were very imposing. When my father was alive, he often said that the Black Diao Army was the most powerful force in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Today, when he saw these soldiers, he could tell the autumn that he could see the leaves. The Black Diao Army was indeed well-known.

Zheng Xinjin bowed and said, "It turns out that he is the famous Xiongsheng Army Jiedushi, and Zheng Xinjin, the captain of the front office of the hall, is polite."

"Is there a sergeant nicknamed Scarface in your military camp?"

"There is such a person, I wonder what the governor is asking for?"

When Du Gang heard this, he wanted to pounce on him again, but was hugged by several personal guards.

Hou Dayong snorted coldly: "Zhang Scarface killed the wife of the Black Eagle Army Captain Du. You should arrest him quickly and don't let him run away."

Zheng Xinjin only found out the reason for the incident at this time. Zhang San said to the team: "Take people to find Zhang Scarface quickly and bring a few more people." He also said to Hou Dayong: "Please sit in the tent. If this is true, Zhang Scarface will be the crime of beheading."
