Chapter 353: All the heroes (31)

The fragrance of August osmanthus, a faint or strong fragrance, drifted in the yard with the faint breeze. Wang Hongda sniffed it hard, but the fragrance remained the same. He did not feel as refreshing as before when facing Liu Jiangqing, who had been resurrected. Wang Hongda loved the unique taste of osmanthus the most and soaked some fresh osmanthus wine every year. The dangui wine at the governor's mansion has always been a good gift for the gift of Bingui. I just heard that Lin Xuan was here, and he had asked someone to get five cans of dangui wine.

Lin Xuan had already made it true that Chen Sirang's messenger had not come to Cizhou City. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little strange, he had to take the initiative to introduce the visiting person to Wang Hongda.

"This is the inspector Liu Jiangqing."

Wang Hongda pretended not to know Liu Jiangqing at all, bowed his hand and said, "It turns out that he is a distinguished guest, and he is not welcome."

"This is General Zhou Qing, the deputy commander of the left wing of Longwei Army."

"Long Wei Army, General Zhou, I really admire you for a long time."

The changes of the imperial guards are extremely sensitive. The Longwei Army is actually a disguised Black Eagle Army. The senior officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty knew about this. When Wang Hongda learned that the generals of the Longwei Army came to serve as the guard, he knew that Liu Jiangqing could no longer avoid it. He said in his heart: "Let's start first, find an opportunity to kill these people. I will join the Northern Han with my troops."

During the Five Dynasties, border generals defected. After Chai Rong ascended the throne, the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty became stronger and stronger, and defected became a one-way flow. It has always been the Southern Tang Dynasty. The generals of the Northern Han Dynasty defected to the Great Zhou Dynasty. For several years, there was basically no generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty defected. Wang Hongda had fought with the Northern Han army for many years and had some reputations. The Northern Han Dynasty had tempted each other with high officials many times, but he refused them harshly. At this time, he felt that he had no way out in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, he rebelled.

The Great Zhou was strong and the Northern Han was weak. Wang Hongda was forced to escape to the Northern Han, which was not the original intention. He scolded hatefully in his heart: "It seems that women are wrong, but it seems that it is true. I wish I could kill the brother and brother with one knife."

After making up his mind, Wang Hongda concentrated on dealing with the people in the courtyard. When the chief clerk behind Wang Hongda saw Liu Jiangqing, he also had a premonition that something was wrong. He was about to remind Wang Hongda that Wang Hongda had turned his eyes to him and said word by word: "Long Weijun comes from afar, how can he stand outside the courtyard? You take Long Weijun's guests to the east military camp to entertain me well. You must not neglect it."

Wang Hongda wanted to transfer the Black Eagle Army, but his intention was naturally self-evident. Only when the Dragon Wei Army outside the courtyard left, the people in the courtyard were naturally like mud, and they could do whatever they wanted. The chief clerk understood it and bowed and said, "The subordinate knows what to do, so that you can rest assured."

Seeing that Wang Hongda pretended not to know him, Liu Jiangqing didn't want to pierce the window paper immediately. At this time, he heard something from the two of them, glanced at Zhou Qing, and saw that Zhou Qing was as if nothing had happened, so he leaned over and quietly pressed his arms against Zhou Qing. Zhou Qing was still as unresponsive as a stone.

Outside the Cizhou Governor's Mansion, all the Black Eagle Army soldiers dismounted and stood outside the courtyard. They all placed their hands on the crossbow of the Five Tigers. Although the Cizhou Guards on the opposite side were numerous, they were not afraid at all.

Since he was familiar with the street fighting weapon such as the Five Tigers Crossbow, the Black Eagle Army soldiers have become confident in street fighting. Two hundred Five Tigers Crossbows can be fired continuously without changing the machine box. This intensive launch can be said to be fatal for street alleys. Not to mention that each of the Black Eagle Army guards is equipped with three machine boxes, which are on the streets of the city. Without solid field fortifications, few teams can block these dense crossbow arrows.

The Cizhou army opposite the Black Eagle Army did not know what these Black Eagle Army were doing. After receiving the order, they surrounded the Black Eagle Army lazily.

Three groups of people, more than a thousand people, blocked the front of the governor's mansion, and some ordinary people who watched the fun stood not far away.

While confronting each other, a middle-aged man in a long gown came out of the courtyard. He smiled and said to the Black Eagle Army: "General Zhou is talking to Wang Envoy, you don't have to guard outside the mansion. A hundred steps away is the East Army Camp in Cizhou. There are some wine and food there, please enjoy it."

The Black Eagle Army soldiers looked at the middle-aged man coldly, no one answered him, and no one paid attention to him.

Seeing that the Black Diao Army soldiers were arrogant, the bearded general of the Cizhou Army stepped forward a few steps, came to the Black Diao Army, and said angrily: "Sir, you have an order, come over quickly, don't toast or not eat the punishment."

A black-faced man in the Black Eagle Army held the hilt of the knife in his hand, stepped forward, walked out of the team, and said, "We don't eat the toast and punish the wine. Without General Zhou's orders, we will never take a single step."

The bearded soldier was Wang Hongda's tooth general. He did not expect these imperial guards to be so powerful, so he raised his hand, pointed at the nose of the black-faced man, and cursed: "What's so great about the imperial guards? It's really blinding your dog's eyes when he acts arrogantly in Cizhou."

Before the bearded officer finished speaking, he heard a "choking" sound. There was already a long sword on his neck with a cold light. The sword was extremely sharp, and there was a faint pain at the edge of the blade. The bearded officer was also quite skillful, but he didn't expect that the imperial officer's sword skills were so sharp that there was no sign of the sword. When he understood, the long sword was already on his neck.

The chief clerk of Cizhou did not expect that the imperial guards would threaten the disagreement. He looked into the courtyard, but no news came from the courtyard, so he smoothed out: "If you have something to say, why bother to use swords and guns lightly?"

Without receiving the military order, the black-faced man didn't want to make things worse. He hummed, took a step back, and took the long knife back into the sheath in a casual manner.

The Longwei Army was imposing, and the Cizhou Army was obviously not murderous enough compared to it. The chief clerk was Wang Hongda's confidant. He had participated in the murder of Liu Jiangqing. He knew that this matter would not be good. He said to the black-faced man: "The Longwei Army's military orders are as good as a mountain. I really admire him. I will go and invite General Zhou now."

As he turned around, he winked at a gloomy little general and walked slowly into the courtyard. The little general understood the eyes of the chief clerk, mixed with the soldiers, and then walked towards the gate without realizing it.

One by one, one after another, the two went to the small room in the gate west. The chief clerk whispered: "Wang Erlang, Long Weijun has bad intentions. You go and transfer two teams of crossbowmen to prevent the accident." Although the small general did not understand why the chief clerk was facing a great enemy, he did not ask too much, and said: "There are still two hundred people in the Jinzhou army, how to deal with it." The chief clerk thought for a while, gestured and said: "If it is in the way, kill it together."

The small general was once Wang Hongda's personal guard, and Wang Hongda had great kindness to his family. Therefore, he always only saw Wang Hongda and the chief clerk. Not to mention killing the Long Wei army and the Jinzhou army, even if he asked him to kill the commander, he would never frown. After he walked out of the hut, he slipped out against the corner of the wall.

Wang Hongda, Lin Xuan, Zhou Qing, and Liu Jiangqing were already sitting in the hall. Wang Hongda had murderous intentions in his heart, so he didn't want to be with Liu. Zhou and the others were polite and said nothing to them. However, the Long Wei army and the Jinzhou army came suddenly, and after entering the city, they went directly outside the governor's mansion. If they took action now, they would not be sure of winning. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to tear apart and remained in shame. He said nothing to Lin Xuan, delaying the time.

When Wang Hongda saw the chief clerk shaking his head when he entered the yard, he knew that he had not invited Long Weijun. When he saw the chief clerk and Wang Erlang come out of the house one after another, he felt relieved: the chief clerk and Wang Erlang are both scheming people, so they will definitely arrange this matter.

Liu Jiangqing sat in the chair and was as if he was sitting on a needle. He winked Zhou Qing several times. Zhou Qing had a look of a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. After Liu Jiangqing succeeded in the imperial examination, he became the Chengwei. He didn't know about the generals of the Black Eagle Army. He had never heard of Zhou Qing's name. When he saw Zhou Qing's expression, he couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Hou Dayong really wants to kill me. He sent me a person who could not beat me up for three days."

"The Black Eagle Army is extremely powerful, so it's better to make the matter clear and capture Wang Hongda in one fell swoop." Liu Jiangqing made up his mind and stood up. Just as he was about to speak, Zhou Qing, who was on the side, quickly pulled back to the chair with great force.

Zhou Qing stood up and laughed, "Ha, ha" and said, "I heard that the King's envoy is a cheerful person. Now that there are guests coming from afar, it is not interesting to let us sit like this. I heard that the mutton soup in Cizhou is famous far and wide, so we can also enjoy the food. I wonder what?"

Lin Xuan immediately agreed, "That's right, General Wang, sitting and talking empty words is meaningless. Let's talk while eating."

Liu Jiangqing was poisoned once last time, and he had reminded Zhou Qing many times along the way. He did not expect that Zhou Qing, the sagitted green, would take the initiative to drink mutton soup, and his teeth were itchy. At this time, Zhou Qing glared at him intentionally or unintentionally. Liu Jiangqing was stunned and swallowed the words rushing to his mouth.

Wang Hongda said with a slight smile: "No matter whether it is him, a human or a ghost, the visitor is a guest, Wang Zhuan, you go and arrange it." He said in his heart: "This is your own death, you must not blame me. It was just that the last time Liu Jiangqing was not poisoned, and this time the amount of medicine must be increased." He then said: "Even if you have great detoxification skills, you can cut off your head and see if you can still resurrect yourself."

The situation was as dangerous as the eggs. Lin Xuan stood up and said loudly: "I feel uncomfortable in my stomach, I'm so anxious inside. Who will take me there?" As he spoke, he signaled Wang Hongda with his eyes.

When the two arrived at the backyard, Lin Xuan stamped his feet and said, "Chen Jiedu sent two groups of messengers to ask General Wang to leave Cizhou for a while to patrol the border. Why are he still staying in the city in a big way? Even if the general does not want to leave the city, he still needs to take some precautions. Why did he let Long Wei's army go directly outside the mansion? Now that he is in a difficult situation, the general asks Lin to do so."

Wang Hongdaqi said: "Du Chen sent two messengers, and I have never seen any of them."

"Zhou Qing is a Hou Prime Minister and a general of the Black Eagle Army. We can't afford to offend him. If you do this, send soldiers to report fake letters and say that the Northern Han invades the border. You will immediately lead troops out of the city and I will deal with the rest of the matter."

"What's so great about the Black Eagle Army? It's two holes that can be stabbed with one knife." Speaking of this, Wang Hongda sighed: "Stop, let's go, let's go, let's go, I'm ready to leave the city now."
