Chapter Eighty-Four: The Capture of the Castle
Through this "lost contact" incident, he completely relaxed about the "troika". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He knew that when the matter was settled here, there was a troika here, and he could go to the capital with confidence.
Next, Sun Xiang listened to Bai Liping's report on the situation in Astor City in detail. After Bai Liping's report was completed, Sun Xiang pondered for a while, and then asked, "Very good, everything is going according to our expectations, what is your opinion on the next step?" ”
After Zhang Jinli and Bai Zhaoxuan glanced at each other, they both looked at Chu Sen, and Chu Sen didn't shirk it, and said: "A few of us have studied it, and what we are most afraid of now is that they will compromise with each other and then jointly manage Astor City, which is also the most unfavorable for us." So we came up with a plan for this: that is, to find a way to get them to fight, preferably in a fight. However, it was difficult to implement this plan, because according to imperial law, fighting was forbidden in the city, otherwise the garrison would have to take charge. ”
Sun Xiang is completely satisfied, it is good to think of the right ideas, but I am afraid that the ideas are not right. So, he smiled and said with great certainty: "This is easy, from tonight onwards, the city guard of Astor City will be Chu Sen." ”
Everyone immediately exclaimed, if this is the case, everything will be unobstructed again.
As for whether Sun Xiang's words can be realized, they no longer doubt it, because so far, Sun Xiang's words seem to have not been broken.

At this moment, in front of the camp of the Empty Twilight Stone Mine, a man in a black robe stood quietly, his body trembling slightly, and his hands were clenched into fists.
He had only been away for more than ten days, and the place was destroyed. All his subordinates were alive and dead, and there was not even a clue, and more importantly, his younger brother was among them.
He searched carefully, and it should have happened two or three days ago. "It's only a few days away." He thought hatefully.
Suddenly, he remembered the reason for leaving this time, and immediately shifted his hatred.
"Astor City!" The man muttered through gritted teeth.
yes, if it wasn't for his superiors who asked him to go to Astor City to study the support plan, how could he have left here. With him, there are two great swordsmen here, although I don't know how many people have come from the other side, but at least he will understand his brother's situation, and he will have a goal for revenge in the future.
Thinking of this, the man turned and walked in the direction of Astor City.

At this moment, in the capital, in the emperor's imperial study
The emperor looked at the materials in his hand and muttered: "It's really my lucky general, the empty twilight stone mine, such an important strategic material doesn't know how much has been stolen!" Who the hell are these people? The twelfth team? What do you mean? How many more squads? Does it have anything to do with that hall master? ”
Then he sat down and began to draft the edict, and as soon as he picked up the pen, he muttered: "Boy, you are not small, and you dare to take away the evidence." No, I have to come back. So, he shouted outside: "Come on, recruit Duke Sun into the palace to discuss matters." ”
Then, he bowed his head and began to formally draft the edict, and only stopped writing several copies in a row.
After waiting for a while, Sun Guangzan arrived, and the two began to conspire.
******************************
In the southeast corner of the city of Aster, close to the city wall, there is a large barracks, which is the garrison of the city of Aster. The design of this station is very scientific, once there is a beast tide in the Abel Mountains in the east, the garrison can climb the city wall to protect it as soon as possible. There are more than 500 garrison troops here, all of whom are registered soldiers of the Imperial Military Department.
In the evening, when it was just getting dark, three men in robes were stopped by the team members on duty at the gate of the station. Seeing that the leader showed the city lord's order, one of the team members on duty led the three people to the camp of the city guard, and the rest of the guards continued to be on duty.
When they arrived at the barracks guarding the city in Qingyuan, the officers on duty returned to their duty posts after explaining to the guards of the barracks. The barracks guards checked the city lord's order again before going in to report it. After a few moments, the guard exited, signaling for the three to enter.
Yu Qingyuan, the city guard, was sitting on a chair, waiting for the arrival of the three people from the City Lord's Mansion. He was very strange, Tuoba Chengkundu had already decided to leave Astor City, why did he still send people, was there something wrong? When he saw the three people who came in take off their robes, he immediately jumped up from his chair, ran up and saluted respectfully: "I don't know if Lord Sun has arrived, I missed the welcome, please forgive me." At the same time, he secretly looked at Sun Gang.
Among the two people brought by Sun Xiang, Chu Sen knew him, the Great Swordsman, who was one order higher than him. And the middle-aged man he had never seen before, the badge on his body turned out to be a great magician! With this discovery, his cold sweat came down. He had a bad feeling in his heart. Great magician, one person can destroy the city of Astor.
The people who came were Sun Xiang, Chu Sen and Sun Gang.
Sun Xiang walked to the chair where Yu Qingyuan was sitting just now, and did not sit down, but took out a golden scroll from the magic bag and handed it to Yu Qingyuan: "This is the secret edict of His Majesty the Emperor, take a look." ”
Yu Qingyuan took the edict with trembling hands, opened it and looked at it, it read: "Seeing the edict, Baron Sun Xiang is the supreme leader in charge of Astor City, responsible for all the city affairs and defense of Astor City until the new edict arrives." During this period, officials at all levels must obey unconditionally. "The following inscription is Emperor Deco.
Yu Qingyuan's body was already soaked with sweat, and he finally figured out the things that had been making him strange.
It stands to reason that when the Tuoba family announced their departure from Astor City, they should announce the new temporary Astor City Lord, but Tuoba Chengkun did not announce it. He and others also asked Tuoba Chengkun, but Tuoba Chengkun said that he had handed it over to the state government to deal with the matter. However, no one in the state capital has come to announce the matter until now. So he has always been strange, but now he understands: the emperor directly intervened, and he didn't dare to announce it to the state capital.
Thinking of the premonition just now, Yu Qingyuan cried, and he sobbed and said: "Lord Sun, although I don't have outstanding political achievements in Astor City, I am also conscientious. ”
Sun Xiang took back the secret edict from Yu Qingyuan's hand, sat down, and then said calmly: "Yu Qingyuan, I know that you have a happy family in Cox City, the three wives get along harmoniously, and the five children are also very aura. Saying this, Sun Xiang stopped.
Yu Qingyuan was so frightened that he immediately knelt on one knee: "Woo, sir, I haven't violated the laws of the empire." I've never offended you when you came to Astor City. “
Sun Xiang got up, walked up to Yu Qingyuan, and helped Yu Qingyuan up: "You listen to what I said, I also know that you have no choice but to take up a post in Astor City, you love your wives and children very much, and they love you very much." With that, Sun Xiang paused, looked at Yu Qingyuan's pleading expression, and continued: "This is an opportunity for you, cooperate with us to complete the task, and I will arrange for you to return to Cox City to take up your post." Of course, if you can satisfy me, I promise to help you move up the ranks. ”
After listening to Sun Xiang's words, Yu Qingyuan's whole body was already soaked as if he had just come out of the water. He immediately wiped away his tears and said, "Please command, my subordinates are willing to do their best." ”
The corners of Sun Gang's mouth, who was standing behind, twitched. This is an obvious threat, and then give a sweet date, so that Yu Qingyuan has to give in. He is an academic, and it was the first time he saw Sun Xiang's methods, although he didn't agree with it, but he realized Sun Xiang's power for the first time. At the age of sixteen, a genius finally appeared in the third generation of the Sun family, but this genius is a little evil! And the evil is terrible, and it is not safe to play cards at all. How is it that today's approach is somewhat like the bandits of the underworld? Immediately, he remembered that it seemed that many people in the western suburbs called this young master the boss behind their backs, and Bai Zhaoxuan even called him so in person.
Sun Gang felt a little ridiculous, how could a nobleman be called the boss! That's ridiculous. It seems that the family will have to be informed of this. It is estimated that except for the old man, there is really no one in the Sun family who can control this young master.
Chu Sen's reaction was flat. With blood in the knife, he looked down on Yu Qingyuan's bear, which had nothing to do with strength.
"Okay, from now on, in accordance with the secret edict of His Majesty the Emperor, I order Chu Sen to temporarily take charge of the defense of Astor City in my place, and Yu Qingyuan will assist from the side. Do you have an opinion? ”
"No, absolutely not. From now on, everything will be up to Captain Chusen. Yu Qingyuan nodded frequently like a kowtow worm.
Sun Xiang turned to Chu Sen and said, "Okay, the city guard is you." Now you can follow your plan, and whoever dares to disobey will be killed. ”
Listening to Sun Xiang's words, Yu Qingyuan trembled again. And Chu Sen looked at Sun Xiang with admiration, and said with a straight chest: "Don't worry, it's up to us next." ”
During the day, Sun Xiang said that he would let him sit in the position of the city guard, and at night it was realized. This is obviously already in Sun Xiang's plan, and Sun Xiang is even coming with a secret edict, what does this mean? It shows that the young master in front of him has far surpassed them in his thoughtful thinking. Chu Sen now admires Sun Xiang's five-body throw.
Seeing that things were in place here, Sun Xiang put on his robe again and turned around and left with Sun Gang. Leave Chu Sen in the barracks.
