Chapter 586: Burning

Peony couldn't stop idle, walking all the way, chatting with her little father-in-law all the way.

An Rong didn't restrain her, and occasionally she listened to a sentence or two.

Soon, An Rong walked to the place where the carriage was parked.

Zhao Cheng was there to stay.

After the little father-in-law blessed him, he turned around and left.

Peony helped An Rong into the carriage and stood on the wheel, An Rong was about to get into the carriage, but paused.

Turning his head to look at Zhao Cheng, An Rong asked, "Does the Guogong Mansion have eyeliner in the palace?" ”

Zhao Cheng bowed his head lightly and said, "What does Grandma Young want to know?" ”

In fact, there is no need to ask, An Rong also knows that the Guogong Mansion has set up eyeliner in the palace, because the Wu'an Hou Mansion has bribed the maids and eunuchs in the palace to pass on the news.

"Help me check Miss Xu Yuan in Jinzhou and see what she wants to do when she hooks up with the fifth girl."

An Rong is afraid, Shen Anyu alone is enough to make trouble.

That Xu Yuan girl is both beautiful and artistic, and she is very bold, and she dares to question her injustice in front of so many people at the glass banquet.

Waiting for Zhao Cheng to nod, An Rong got into the carriage, and Peony also got in.

The carriage slowly drove out of the palace.

An Rong originally wanted to take a nap, but she reached out and pulled out her sleeve and found that she forgot to bring the sachet, so she had to give up.

After returning to the Guogong Mansion, An Rong went to the Rosewood Courtyard first, mentioned the matter to the old lady, and then went back to the Rosewood Courtyard to rest.

Barracks, Big Tent.

Xiao Zhan sat in front of the table, his face cold.

Lian Xuan stood in the big tent, his face was as ugly as he wanted.

Behind him stood a general, with a blue nose and swollen face. You can't see the original appearance at all.

That general is Xu Long.

Seeing this scene, An Rong was slightly surprised.

That General Xu Long's face, no matter how you look at it, looks like Lian Xuan's masterpiece.

But the general of Miancheng is Xu Hu, not Xu Long, and he didn't lose the city, why was he beaten to such a miserable appearance?

In the big tent, in addition to Xiao Zhan, Lian Xuan and Xu Long, there are also King Qi and General Sun, not to mention more than a dozen generals.

Many people's eyes swept over the brocade box next to Xiao Zhan's desk. Then he looked at Lian Xuan's eyes with some fear.

Begin. An Rong thought that it was the general's seal.

Who would have thought that as soon as King Qi spoke, An Rong almost woke up in fright.

King Qi made a cold face and scolded Lian Xuan, "The prince of Jingbei." You're going too far! General Xu Hu is not good at defending the city. How can you decapitate him without permission?! ”

In that brocade box. It is loaded with Xu Hu's head.

It was cut by Lian Xuan.

Lian Xuan glanced at King Qi coldly, "Don't call me the prince of Jingbei Hou, in the army." I'm General Lian! Why, you're just playing in front of this general, and you have to get your permission to kill a waste? ”

Xu Hu is also a well-known figure in the border area.

But in Lian Xuan's eyes, he is a waste.

Perhaps, the word waste to describe him is an insult to waste!

Lian Xuan went to Miancheng on the order of Xiao Zhan to remind Xu Hu, Xu Hu was very respectful to Lian Xuan on his face, but as soon as Lian Xuan left, he was proud of his achievements, saying that Lian Xuan was a gentleman, and the emperor made him a deputy marshal, which was an insult to all the generals, but he was afraid of Xiao Guogong's mansion and had to do it!

Lian Xuan also asked him to send troops to guard the cliff to prevent the enemy from sneaking up from the cliff.

General Xu Hu felt that this was nonsense at the time, could someone climb up that day?

Unless he's got wings, he's pretty much the same!

But Lian Xuan's mixed name is not a joke, General Xu Long sent someone to remind him one step earlier, if Lian Xuan goes to Cotton City, he will be greeted with good food and drink, and he must not be slow.

Therefore, Xu Hu agreed to what even Xuan ordered.

But as soon as Lian Xuan left, Xu Hu took Lian Xuan's orders as the wind in his ears, and just blew it.

Lian Xuan asked him to send 800 officers and soldiers to be stationed at the cliff, and Xu Hu sent eight people to the cliff.

What are those eight people doing on the cliff?

Set up a tent and gather people to gamble inside!

As a result, the Dongyan Assassins climbed up and beheaded the men in the tent.

What kind of temper does Lian Xuan have, how can he tolerate his words being treated as a deaf ear?

To say, General Xu Hu is also looking for death.

After Lian Xuan was ordered to pass the word, he planned to rush back to the city, who thought that it was not early, and when he arrived at the city gate, the city gate was already closed.

Lian Xuan wanted to go out of the city, but the officers and soldiers defending the city said that they were not allowed to open the city gate without the permission of General Xu Hu.

Then, Lian Xuan went back to find Xu Hu.

Xu Hu didn't agree, only said that this was the rule, and as soon as the city gate was closed, it could only be opened again tomorrow, and he stayed with Lian Xuan.

Lian Xuan didn't like Xu Hu, he would rather take the Buda Guest House.

At night, Lian Xuan couldn't sleep over and over, and he was restless, always feeling that something was happening.

No, he kicked Buda up, intending to go out for a walk twice.

Buda decided to go to the cliff to take a look.

By the time they went, the officers and soldiers were already dead.

All that was left was a bonfire, eight corpses, and the unopened gamble.

At that time, Lian Xuan was about to be mad.

However, at that time, he did not immediately go to Xu Hu to settle accounts, but looked at the cliff, and he personally jumped down to see how others came up.

After walking all over again, I counted the railways built with one hundred and eight iron rods, and it was not difficult to climb the cliff with a little effort.

Before he could climb up, Buda burned the fire and said, "Master, something happened, the cotton city is on fire!" ”

Lian Xuan quickly climbed up and saw the light of the fire.

There are at least two dozen places on fire in Cotton City!

Lian Xuan clenched his fists, turned over on his horse, stepped on the moonlight, and arrived at General Xu Hu's residence.

At this time, General Xu Hu's mansion was fighting fires.

And General Xu Hu himself is not in the house at all!

Lian Xuan asked where Xu Hu was, but the Xu family just didn't say anything.

In the end, he couldn't bear Lian Xuan's fist, so he made a move.

General Xu Hu will meet guests in Wanhualou!

Wanhualou, that is the largest green building in Cotton City!

The cotton city was burned and set on fire everywhere.

Xu Hu's newborn daughter and nurse who were not yet full moon were all buried in the fire, but he was looking for flowers and asking willows in Wanhualou?!

If he hadn't taken his words as a deaf ear. Why was the cotton city burned?!

In a fit of rage, Lian Xuan went to Wanhualou.

Wanhualou is very good, it was not burned by fire.

General Xu Hu was still sleeping sweetly on the flower boat with his arms in his arms, and no one disturbed him.

Lian Xuan stepped on Qingbo and got on the flower boat, and kicked on the root of General Xu Hu's life, waking him up in pain.

The Oiran questioned Lian Xuan, and was kicked into the lake by Lian Xuan, and even called for help, but no one saved her, and finally became a floating corpse.

General Xu Hu knew that Miancheng was burned. At that time, I was scared and white-faced. Lian Xuan asked him why he didn't send troops to look at the cliff.

General Xu Hu quibbled, saying that he would send eight people to watch first, and Ming'er would send another thousand people to guard.

Lian Xuan was angry, he rushed to Cotton City in the stars and the moon. I'm afraid I'm going to be late. As a result, he was in a hurry. People are not in a hurry!

What is the use of keeping such a general?!

Lian Xuan pulled out the soft sword at his waist and slashed it down.

The fire of the cotton city. Burned overnight.

Those houses and restaurants burned down almost half.

It's a good city, and there are cries everywhere.

If the enemy attacked the city, those people could still flee for their lives, but the enemy attacked and set fire, even Xu Hu didn't believe that the enemy could go to the capital, and Yingcheng was guarded by Xiao Zhan and hundreds of thousands of troops, and the people of Miancheng were at ease.

After putting out the fire, Lian Xuan rushed back to the barracks, he didn't know what to do.

Who would have thought that as soon as he returned to the barracks, Xu Long wanted to kill him to avenge Xu Hu.

Lian Xuan's fiery temper, if it weren't for General Sun to stop him, Xu Long's fate is estimated to be no better than Xu Hu's.

Everyone knows that Xu Hu is at fault, especially if he doesn't listen to military orders and is drunk in Qinglou, which is even more criminal.

But Lian Xuan cut off Xu Hu's head privately, which was also wrong.

Even if he wanted to kill Xu Hu, he should be escorted back to Beijing, or pulled to Xiao Zhan and killed in front of the three armies to set an example.

To put it bluntly, King Qi just doesn't like Lian Xuan, as long as he makes a mistake, no matter how big or small, he will hold on to it.

Lian Xuan glanced at King Qi several times, and there was a meaning in his eyes: You should be careful with the master, and then dare to treat the master's words as a fart, if there is nothing to find the master's fault, Xu Hu is your example!

Xiao Zhan glanced at King Qi, looked at General Sun and said, "What does General Sun think about this matter?" ”

General Sun scolded the fox in his heart.

In the army, General Sun's military authority is greater than Xiao Zhan's, especially those generals, who listen to General Sun's words more.

Xu Hu is one of General Sun's henchmen.

He wants to say that Lian Xuan is wrong, it is Lian Xuan who offended, and he also lost the morale of the army.

Xu Hu obviously deserves to be killed.

But if you want to say that Lian Xuan did the right thing, it is Xu Long's heart that hurts, he is just this brother-in-law.

General Sun replied, "General, the top priority now is not whether General Lian did anything wrong or not, and whether General Xu Hu should be killed by him, but what should Miancheng do?" The cotton city was burned, what should those people do, who should garrison the cotton city, and how to find out the enemies who lurked in the cotton city? ”

King Qi stood up and said, "General, no one is more familiar with the burning of Cotton City than General Lian, and it is only fitting that Cotton City should be taken over by him." ”

Pray for the king's recommendation, and the generals have agreed.

Lian Xuan is in the barracks, it's a time bomb, whoever provokes who is unlucky, he is there, and they don't dare to speak lightly in front of Xiao Zhan.

As soon as he said anything against Xiao Zhan, Lian Xuan turned his head to look at them, with a smirk in his eyes, looking at them creepy.

Get Lian Xuan away, and everyone is happy.

It stands to reason that so many generals have jointly recommended it, and Xiao Zhan should agree.

But Xiao Zhan didn't, he said expressionlessly, "The reconstruction of Cotton City and the pacification of the refugees will be handed over to King Qi for the time being, accompanied by General Chen, as for the matter of catching the enemy army, Zhao Xing, you go to help King Qi." ”

King Qi frowned, let him go, how could he leave the barracks?

He's a lieutenant!

King Qi did not agree with him to go, "This king is the deputy marshal, how can there be any reason to leave the military camp and go to Cotton City to station?" ”

Xiao Zhan looked at King Qi, "It wasn't you who recommended Lian Xuan to go to Cotton City?" ”

Pray for the king," ....... ”

Is this a shooting man in the foot?

King Qi hurriedly remedied, "I don't have the idea of letting General Lian stay in Cotton City, but I just captured the assassin, and he should assist the general." ”

I slapped myself in the face, and the slap was a crackle.

King Qi said, a general stood up and took the initiative to ask, "Let's go to the last general, the two deputy marshals, the assistant general is the one." ”

Then, a bunch of generals stood up and recommended the general to go.

At this time, Zhao Feng came in and whispered two words in Xiao Zhan's ear.

Xiao Zhan frowned, and promised not to let King Qi go to Cotton City.

Then ask the generals to withdraw, leaving Lian Xuan alone.

Lian Xuan held back his anger and said, "Big brother, why don't you let King Qi go to Cotton City?" ”

If Xiao Zhan insists, King Qi will have to go if he doesn't go.

Xiao Zhan looked at Lian Xuan and said, "In three days, the Cui family will send 30,000 loads of grain." ”

King Qi and Dongyan colluded, Xiao Zhan had long suspected this, but there was no evidence.

If King Qi was stationed in the cotton city and sent news to the enemy, it would be strange that the grain could be delivered to the barracks.

Lian Xuan immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Sooner or later, chop him!" ”

After speaking, Lian Xuan said, "Big brother, are you asking me to escort that batch of grain?" ”

Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I have other plans for grain and grass." ”

After speaking, Xiao Zhan beckoned to Lian Xuan, and Lian Xuan listened to him.

I don't know what to say, Lian Xuan rubbed his fists together, and his eyes were bright, better than the stars in the summer sky.

What Xiao Zhan said, An Rong didn't hear it.

She still wondered, there was a big tent in the army, and she bit her ears and whispered.

An Rong went outside to take a look, okay, someone was standing outside the military tent, like standing guard, and like eavesdropping!

I don't know what Xiao Zhan ordered Lian Xuan, as if he was in a hurry.

Out of the big tent, Lian Xuan first went to order the 500 officers and soldiers, and told them that during his departure from the barracks, he should not slack off, and asked him to come back and find that he was lazy, and he would serve with a leather whip.

After the order, Lian Xuan returned to the big tent where he lived.

King Qi was drinking tea in the big tent, and when he saw Lian Xuan packing up his baggage, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Where are you going to pack your baggage?" ”

Lian Xuan glanced at King Qi, and said angrily, "What's your business?" ”

King Qi was instantly furious, slammed the teacup on the table, and stepped out.

When he went out, Buda came in.

Seeing Lian Xuan packing up his baggage, Bu Da was stunned, "Master, you want to go far away?" ”

Lian Xuan hummed softly, and Buda went to pack his baggage.

Lian Xuan stopped him and said, "I won't take you this time." ”

Bu Da was immediately unhappy, "Master, I have followed you since I was a child, and I have even followed the battlefield, how can I not follow you when you go out?" ”

Lian Xuan stroked his forehead and said, "I'm going to do business, two days later, the Cui family is going to send a batch of grain and grass to pass through Cotton City, now in Cotton City, the enemy doesn't know where to hide, the eldest brother asked me to watch it personally, if something happens to that batch of grain and grass, there is a northwest wind, and it is not enough for hundreds of thousands of troops to drink, I will come back with grain and grass." ”

Buda said, "Then I'll wait for the prince in Cotton City." ”

Lian Xuan rolled his eyes, "You have to help me look at five hundred officers and soldiers, this is a military order!" ”

Buda had no choice but to obey the order.

Soon, Lian Xuan packed his baggage and rode on the road.

Accompanying him were ten secret guards.

The horse's hooves kicked up a puff of dust.

King Qi stood outside the big tent, with a smile on his lips.

An Rong rolled his eyes, not knowing what he was laughing at.

Xiao Zhan obviously said to Lian Xuan that the grain and grass passed by Cotton City three days later.

When it came to Lian Xuan's mouth, it became two days.

Moreover, Xiao Zhan told SΓΉ Lianxuan, all in a low voice.

Lian Xuan Hall and the royal sue sΓΉ Buda?

An Rong woke up, looking at the ceiling, stunned.

There is worry in the bottom of the eyes.

I don't know how Xiao Zhan is going to solve the problem of Cotton City?

and the Cui family......

Thinking of the Cui family, An Rong got up busily.

Ming'er is going to give Cui Yao the medicine to treat her scars, and at this point, she hasn't started making it yet! (To be continued......)
