Volume 1 Sunrise in the East and Setting in the West Chapter 62 Bloody Battle and Retreat
Mencius Mo did not open his mouth from beginning to end, and his eyes were fierce, but it also showed that he would not die tonight.
"The young boy has always respected the virtuous and used his energy." Lang Shenshui carried his back with one hand, stroked his green beard, and said slowly: "Meng Zhutou is righteous, and the young man also appreciates you very much." You put down the dagger now and follow me to see the young master, as long as you admit that what you did tonight was instigated by Han Yunong, then the Zhenhou Mansion guarantees that you will never be implicated in this matter. ”
Mencius let out a disdainful laugh and scoffed.
Lang Shenshui continued: "The young man also said that there are two positions for you to choose. First, the chief guard of the Hou Mansion, and second, the deputy commander of the Changxin Wolf Cavalry, you can choose these two at will. ”
Of course, Meng Zimo knew that Changxin wolf ridden.
After the empire reached an agreement with the Xiling Gate Valve, it not only gave Xiling the position of Marquis of the Three Gate Valves, but also gave great power.
In addition to allowing the three major gate valves to control the wealth of the three counties, more importantly, the three major gate valves have their own soldiers and horses.
This is the power obtained by the Xiling Gate Valve at the beginning, and it is said that it is necessary to prevent the Xiling rebels from rebelling, so the three major gate valves all have a direct army and horses with an establishment of no more than 800 people, and they are directly under the orders of the three major gate valves.
The soldiers and horses under the command of the Marquis of Changxin of Zhen County are known as the Changxin Wolf Rider.
As far as the three major valves are concerned, the team under his command is his most powerful force and the foundation for maintaining the power of his family, so he spares no expense to build.
Although there are not many men and horses, they are all good at riding and shooting, and they are well-equipped and well-equipped, which is a real elite cavalry.
The cost of investing in this team is extremely high, after all, it is a big killer in his own hands, and the Zhenhou Mansion has always been very generous in building the Changxin Wolf Ride.
However, it was not convenient for this army to be stationed in the city, but in the mining area only more than 20 miles away from Turtle City.
Although the real master of Changxin Wolf Riding is the Zhen family, the Zhen Hou Mansion has always preached to the outside world that this army belongs to the imperial court, and the Zhen family is only under the control of the imperial court.
In addition to collecting taxes from the people, another important source of wealth is to control the minerals in the area under their jurisdiction, the iron ore of Zhen County is very rich, and the mining can not only trade with the Guannai, but also once had horse mining trade with the Vedas.
The Changxin Wolf Soldiers were stationed near the mining area, acting as overseers to monitor the miners' iron mining.
Lang Shenshui claimed that he could let Meng Zimo serve as the deputy commander of the Changxin Wolf Cavalry, which could be regarded as a great temptation.
"The Governor's Mansion has been established for so many years, has the imperial court ever managed you?" Lang Shenshui sighed: "What you eat is not the food of the imperial court, but the gift of the Hou Mansion, it is the Hou Mansion that has been raising you, to say something unpleasant, eating the Zhen family's food, but you are embarrassed by the Hou Mansion everywhere, this is eating inside and out." I know that you and Han Yunong have a deep friendship, but a manly man, don't be stuck in any brotherly righteousness, what matters is your own future, if you follow the young son, you will naturally have a bright future. ”
Meng Zimo let out a strange laugh, Lang Shenshui frowned, and said lightly: "The young prince gave you a chance, if you don't want it, then it's no wonder to me." Slowly retreated, raised his hand suddenly, and waved forward, the strong man who had just suddenly shot out from the bed was on Meng Zimo's side, and when he saw the gesture, he was the first to pounce on Meng Zimo.
Several Tsing Yi swordsmen obviously felt that this was a good time to make meritorious contributions, and they were willing to let this credit be easily taken away by others, so they shouted in unison, raised their knives and slashed at Mencius.
Meng Zimo's eyes were cold, and he roared, although the dagger in his hand was only a short dagger, he still bravely greeted the swordsmen in Tsing Yi.
Lang Shenshui knew that these swordsmen under his hands were not bad, and they might not all be Meng Zimo's opponents, but there were many people, and it was difficult for Meng Zimo to fly even if he had wings.
He also knows that a character like Mencius Mo, in this situation, it is impossible to be captured, it is a trapped beast still fighting, and this kind of person fights to the death, often fierce and abnormal, although it is difficult to escape the encirclement after all, but if he stays nearby, he may be involved.
He was a cunning person, after exiting the room, he quickly turned around and ran, and when he arrived at the staircase, he quickly went downstairs, and at this moment at the staircase, two Tsing Yi swordsmen were protecting a purple-clothed man, both holding a knife in one hand and a torch in the other.
"Young boy, you have been caught." Lang Shenshui saw the boy in purple, and immediately said as if he was asking for merit: "He can't fly tonight even if he has wings." ”
The boy in purple is, of course, Zhen Yujiang of the Zhen Hou Mansion.
Zhen Yujiang smiled and said, "Mr. Lang, you are really clever and wise, and this plan is really wonderful." ”
"The subordinates are just talking." Lang Shenshui said humbly: "If it weren't for the young son's advice and strategizing, there would be no current result." ”
Zhen Yujiang laughed and said: "It's your credit is your credit, and you don't have to be polite." Yes, are you sure he must be Mencius? ”
"There's no way to go wrong." Lang Shenshui said: "Although he is wearing a night clothes, his body is Mencius, and he doesn't dare to speak from beginning to end, because he must be worried that we will hear his true identity." Smiled deceitfully: "But this is also a superfluous move, we all already know who he is, he is still deceiving himself, and he will take the head later, so he will naturally be clear." ”
Zhen Yujiang said: "But this person is also cunning, yesterday in the compound of the Governor's Mansion turned his face with Han Yunong in public, and cut off the relationship with the Governor's Mansion, even if he was caught or killed, it was not easy to find Han Yunong's handle." ”
At this moment, the fight upstairs was very fierce, and when he heard two screams coming down, Zhen Yujiang couldn't help frowning.
"Don't worry, the young man, he is a trapped beast and wants to fight to the death." Lang Shenshui saw Zhen Yujiang's worries, and said with a smile: "After all, he is Han Yunong's right-hand man, and his skills are still good, but we are outnumbered, and we will be able to kill him soon." ”
Zhen Yujiang looked upstairs and nodded slightly.
There was a sudden fierce fight in the building, and the screams were repeated, which naturally alarmed the other guests, someone opened the door with their clothes and took a look, and immediately shrank back, and everyone else also knew that at this time, you must not watch the excitement, one is not careful, and even your own life will be compensated.
The timid closed the door tightly, did not dare to probe, and the bold left a crack in the door, hiding behind the door to see what the situation was.
"Young son, don't worry, although Meng Zimo has severed ties with the Duwei Mansion and it seems that he can't hold the Duwei Mansion responsible, but Meng Zimo is just smart this time." Lang Shenshui sneered: "Young boy, yesterday he left the Duwei Mansion, and he came to assassinate him tonight, and he was caught red-handed by us, this assassination is equivalent to a traitor, not to mention Meng Zimo's crime of rebellion, but everyone in the world will understand that the purpose of Meng Zimo's departure from the Duwei Mansion is just to protect the Duwei Mansion, to put it more clearly, it is to protect Han Yunong." ”
Zhen Yujiang nodded and said: "That's natural, this assassination incident spread, even a three-year-old child knows Mencius's purpose." ”
"Meng Zimo protects the Duwei Mansion, but it just makes people feel that this matter must have something to do with Han Yunong." Lang Shenshui said slowly: "Maybe this time we can't directly attack Han Yunong with Mencius Moxing, but if a traitor comes out of the Duwei Mansion, the old marquis can directly fold to the court, only saying that the Duwei Mansion is likely to have more traitors lurking in the Duwei Mansion, and it must be reorganized, Han Yunong, as the Duwei of the Duwei Mansion, can't even detect the rebellion under his hands, and this crime is enough to let him get out of Xiling." ”
"Not bad." Zhen Yujiang's brows furrowed: "Even if you don't participate in the crime of assassination, you still have the crime of negligence." ”
Lang Shenshui lowered his voice and said: "Once the imperial court insists on sheltering Han Yunong, we can put forward conditions to the imperial court, if we don't reorganize the Governor's Mansion, we will no longer provide financial resources to the Xiling Governor's Mansion, unless the Turtle City Governor's Mansion is sure to be clean and clean, and there are no thieves hiding in it." ”
"Han Yunong doesn't leave, so naturally we won't agree." Zhen Yujiang sneered: "Compared with Xiling, the imperial court has to focus more on Murong in southern Xinjiang, hehe, when Murong raised troops in southern Xinjiang, in the end, the imperial court spent so much money, and it couldn't pacify southern Xinjiang, but instead proposed to the Murong clan to recruit An, and also sealed the title of King of Jingnan." Over the years, the strength of the Murong clan has increased unabated, and the imperial court regards it as a big trouble, and if the Murong clan does not get rid of it for a day, the imperial court will not dare to make trouble in Xiling for a day, and it is no pity for the imperial court to sacrifice the little Han Yunong to stabilize the situation in Xiling. ”
"Bang!"
As soon as Zhen Yujiang's words fell, a person flew down from the second floor and fell heavily in the lobby.
Zhen Yujiang was taken aback, at this time he had already seen that Meng Zimo was at an absolute disadvantage, he actually held a big knife in his hand, and killed him from the room to the corridor, he only had a dagger in his hand before, and the big knife in his hand now was naturally snatched from the past.
The corridor is narrow, and although the people in Zhenhou Mansion are numerous, they are crowded.
However, Meng Zimo was drenched in blood all over his body, and there were already many bloody wounds, which also showed that the injuries were not light, but Wu Zi was like a fierce tiger, fighting to the death.
"Young boy, let's retreat." Lang Shenshui was also a little shocked when he saw that Meng Zimo was so fierce, and when he saw Meng Zimo rushing to the staircase between slashing and slashing, he was about to rush down from the stairs, and Zhen Yujiang was standing at the staircase on the first floor at this time, if he was really rushed down by that fierce man, it would inevitably hurt Zhen Yujiang.
Zhen Yujiang couldn't imagine that he had so many people, and he was still killed by Meng Zimo, his heart palpitated, and he hurriedly retreated, pointing to Mencius who had rushed to the staircase and said loudly: "Catch him, catch him, capture him alive and reward him with a thousand taels of silver, and take someone else's head, and reward him with a thousand taels of silver." ”
Under serious injuries, there will be brave men.
Zhen Yujiang's shout, the swordsmen in Tsing Yi were in high spirits, and the killing sound was louder, after all, a thousand taels of silver was enough to make many people no longer care about their lives.
"Click!"
The railing was cut off by a big knife, and Mencius Mo, who was originally leaning on the railing to fight with the enemy, immediately fell backwards, but fortunately, he reacted extremely quickly, and under the injury, he still turned around quickly, stretched out his arms, and jumped down from the second floor.
