Volume 1 The Wolf Smoke of the World Chapter 40 The Killing Feast

The main gate of the county yamen on Hongliuzi Street has long been closed, and it may not be open in the past few days.

Qian Xianling sat in the back hall, the screen house, and the table and banquet seats had already been wiped clean. Under the two corridors and in the back door, the ambushes were all knife and axe men. Hongmen banquet, it has to be a little interesting.

Li Shipeng's eyes have been staring at the map for a long time, but there is no sound.

Qian Xianling couldn't hold his breath, pacing back and forth endlessly, the weather was not very hot, he always felt upset when he knew how, he would take incense for a while, and find someone to stick to the rod for a while, but there was no Ansheng.

"Report, report to your lord, there are guests visiting Yuzhou City." The crisp voice of the little guy broke the situation.

The small tail fan in Li Shipeng's hand stagnated, and he slowly turned around. Qian Xianling was so frightened that he sat on the chair and asked eagerly: "Who, who's coming?" How many people did you bring? ”

"I don't know, a vicious big man, with a woman, quite beautiful." The little guy hurriedly replied.

Li Shipeng's eyes lit up: "There is no such person in Yuzhou City, it must be the new recruit of President Qian who is stationed there." ”

Qian County's order was a thief, and he still whispered to himself: "Two people are good, there are few people, it's okay, there are few people." ”

Li Shipeng coughed, and Qian County Ling came to his senses: "Please, please!" ”

Xue Taisui strode into the hall, holding an envelope of three chicken feathers in his hand, and Shangguan Xiaofan followed closely on the side.

"The lowly Li Jiajun Qian General Xue Tai Sui, worship the county master." Xue Taisui turned down to worship.

Qian County ordered each other in a hurry: "I can't do it, I can't do it, the civil and military affairs are a family, thousands of people are always Mobai, Mobai." ”

Xue Taisui raised the envelope: "Wang Qianjin garrison sent a lowly post to come, please send military materials and pay 30,000 taels of silver, and send troops to attack Mabian City in a few days, and never be a bandit." ”

Let's put the chicken feathers on the letter.

Qian Xianling didn't understand military affairs, and when he saw the big red garrison seal, he had already believed it, pretended to open the letter and took a look at it, and handed it to Li Shipeng.

"Mr. Qian has worked hard from afar, there is no need to be in a hurry, those military supplies and salaries are not a big deal, but I have to raise some money, let's use wine and rice first, and use wine and rice first." Qian County's order is to serve the food.

"Wait!" Xue Taisui didn't sit down, and said loudly: "The military situation is urgent, but there is no room for sloppiness in the meantime, the county master's wine and dinner can be slowed down, or it is better to allocate materials early, Wang Garrison led 50,000 county soldiers are already on the way, and it is estimated that it will arrive in half a day." ”

Qian Xianling shrank his neck in fright: "What? 50,000 soldiers are on the road, this, General Wang didn't say anything, you see this is a trouble. ”

The Qian County Order has lost its proportions.

Li Shipeng looked at the letter and suddenly spoke: "This Mr. Qian, I'm afraid that your letter is fake." ”

He had already looked at Xue Taisui for more than a long time, but when he saw that he was eager to allocate supplies and did not sit down, he felt that something was wrong. Although the young man in front of him tried his best to pretend to be calm, the slightly trembling sleeves could not hide his old spicy eyes.

Xue Taisui was stunned suddenly, raised his eyes to look at the person who was asking, and sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't want to have such an elegant character in the small border county, and there was a bit of sharpness in the demeanor of Wei and Jin.

Then he said, "This lord is ......"

Qian County Ling hurriedly accosted: "This is Lord Li Shipeng of Yuzhou City and County, and he is also the boss below, since the little general is the general under the command of Wang Shoubei, he might as well be more affectionate." ”

Xue Taisui hugged his fists: "In Xia Xue Taisui, the people who eat in the army are not under the command of Wang Garrison, but under the command of Li Chongxin, the governor of the northern capital of the current dynasty, let's say that the military situation is urgent, is there anything wrong?" ”

Li Shipeng's face was narrow: "Wang Garrison led 50,000 county soldiers? That's half of the soldiers in the entire city and county of Yuzhou, such a large-scale transfer, did he invite Lord Taishou? If Taishou agreed, this letter should have the seal of Taishou, why not? You say that this is Wang Qianjin's handwriting, but this handwriting does not look like what he usually writes. ”

The Yu Dynasty has always emphasized literature and light on military force, the military generals only have the right to command the battle, and have no right to transfer troops, the local transfer of troops must pass through the military department, the court transfer troops must pass through the military department, and the transfer of more than 100,000 troops must pass through the Privy Council, and the prefects of these transfer yamen are all civilian officials. Therefore, although the garrison and the taishou are at the same level, the garrison belongs to the military position, and it needs to be approved by the civilian taishou before the soldiers and horses can be transferred. The field troops are different, due to the shortage of military salaries in the imperial court, local generals are allowed to form their own armies, for example, Li Chongxin is such a field general, so Li Jiajun only listens to Li Chongxin's orders, and can be adjusted and fought. Xue Taisui has been in the army for a long time, but he doesn't know much about the court system, and he secretly screams bad at the moment, but the words have come to this, so he has to pretend to be hard.

"Wang Shoubei writes by the secretary every day, it's not that there is anything unusual about his handwriting, and the garrison seal is not fake after all. As for what you say, please ask Taishou, let's just send a letter to do things, as for whether you ask Taishou or not, that's Wang Shou's own business, Taishou may be halfway, maybe it will be sent immediately. Xue Taisui pretended to be calm and talked eloquently.

The corners of Li Shipeng's mouth flashed: "It's sharp-toothed and sharp-tongued, Mr. Qian doesn't have to be in a hurry, maybe it's me Meng Lang, let's sit down and eat and chat, and after careful discernment, we will definitely be able to ask the truth, maybe what you said is the truth." ”

Qian Xianling was afraid that the two sides would be deadlocked, and he would not be able to make a decision, so he immediately played a round at this moment: "Yes, yes, why should the little general be afraid of delaying this time, I think that the bandits on the horse side can't call immediately, let's talk while eating and get a charter." ”

Xue Taisui knew that if he insisted at this moment, he might not even be able to get out of the door of this hall, so he simply sat on the chair, but Shangguan Xiaofan did not sit, and stood beside him on guard.

Qian Xianling slapped his face, and immediately roasted chicken and duck, Tuan Arowana meal, and all kinds of fresh melons, fruits and vegetables were put on the table.

There were already maid artists on the side who came up to show their talents, and the sound of silk and bamboo was endless.

Xue Taisui sighed secretly, the county town is so withered, the soldiers are ruthless and abnormal, this county master will really enjoy it.

Li Shipeng took out a foot of white rice paper at this moment, painted with a vermilion brush in his hand, and looked at the Shangguan fan next to Xue Taisui from time to time. Shangguan Xiaofan gave a young man a really awkward look, and slashed Li Shipeng a few times with sharp eyes.

Li Shipeng didn't care, picked up the white rice paper and compared it with the Shangguan fan, unfolded it on the opposite side, and shouted in his mouth: "How is it?" ”

Everyone looked up, but saw that the picture was painted with the portrait of Shangguan Xiaofan, the green group was pretty, and the sword was suspended, which was really lifelike.

Qian Xianling kept slapping his face: "Wonderful, wonderful, really Danqing wonderful hands, I often hear people in the court say that Xiao Li is a master of the great painter Nanshan Wan, a crane picture will be sold for 10,000 taels of silver, we still don't believe it, today I have to see the painting skills, Qian someone is really convinced, it is worth floating a lot." "I took a drink at home.

Shangguan Xiaofan couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't know what medicine was sold in Li Shipeng's gourd.

Li Shipeng got up slightly and clenched his fists: "Take leave, take leave, wait for me to go to the toilet, and go back." ”

When Qian Xianling saw him going, he also instructed: "The two of you can go to the toilet, and I will go to the toilet and return in a moment." ”

Xue Taisui had already guessed that this must be a code that the two had discussed, but when he turned his head, he saw Shangguan Xiaofan, and carefully looked at the picture scroll on Li Shipeng's seat, and he was stupid for a while.

"I said Xiao Li, what are you going to do? How do you send these two evil stars away? Qian Xianling's eyes were red, in his opinion, the mere military supplies and 30,000 silver were not a big number at all, and he had sent Xue Taisui early.

Li Shipeng groaned slightly, and made a gesture of cutting his neck with a knife with his hand, and "whoosh".

Qian Xianling shrank his neck: "Why?" He doesn't want much, if you really kill him, how can Wang Qianjin's old horseman give up? ”

Li Shipeng's voice said, "Don't you see it?" He is tempting, testing your guts, testing the money in your hand, and tempting.... Forget it, it's useless to talk more, if you don't kill him today, the evening will be your time of death. ”

Qian County's order made him say creepy, and pulled his sleeve: "Xiao Li, you can save me, I am in a state of confusion now, in case this big man is telling the truth, and killing the family and army is a big crime." Old man Wang led an army of 50,000 at night, how could he spare me? ”

Li Shipeng's eyes sharpened: "If what he said is the truth, then you should kill him even more and never suffer in the future." You don't want to think about it, is it worth garrisoning an army of 50,000 troops in Qimai County? He wants to get rid of you as soon as possible, and then give you the last charge of concealment and non-reporting, and the 50,000 army occupies your spar mine in vain, and then you can sit on the resources, fight against Zhao Taishou, deter Mabian in the north, resist the Tantric Lama in the west, and he will soar into the sky, from a garrison, to a prince. ”

Qian County Ling was completely stunned by these words, and muttered in his mouth: "They are forcing me, this is bullying honest people." Turning around again, he saw that Li Shipeng had already taken a large yellow wine jar from the kitchen and strode back to the banquet hall.

During the banquet, singing and dancing were leveling, and a song of Yunxia Lotte had just ended. Li Shipeng stood up and said loudly: "This banquet is also a bit boring, Mr. Qian is a person in the army, born in a war-torn place, how to see this weak song and dance, but I will make everyone laugh." ”

After that, he took out the wine jar in the kitchen, and struck three palms in a row against the mud seal.

It is strange to say that the mud seal at the mouth of the jar was loosened, and after a while, a villain's head came out, with a Shaoxing felt hat on his head, his face was pink, and two red rouges were painted on both sides of his face, and his eyes were full of scum of white crumbs.

This funny act caused everyone present to laugh.

Only Shangguan Xiaofan felt bad, and whispered into Xue Taisui's ear: "Be careful, the altar ghost puppet technique of the Dongshan Ghost Gate." Xue Taisui didn't know anything about these spell cultivation, and when he heard Shangguan's reminder, he couldn't help but pay a little attention.

The little ghost who turned his head from the jar then stretched out his limbs, all pink and white, as if they had been coated with thick wall powder. Then he opened his mouth, spit out a paper knife, folded and unfolded it, and stood in the air, and a few cold lights flashed out of the brush, which seemed to be a few sharper than steel knives.

Li Shipeng picked up the portrait of Shangguan Xiaofan and unfolded it in front of the altar ghost, the altar ghost looked left and right, and suddenly saw the Shangguan Xiaofan opposite, and smiled strangely at her. Shangguan Xiaofan was a stirring spirit, and the hint of years of practice told him that there was a cold murderous intent in that smile.

Then, the altar ghost nodded, as if he understood something, opened his mouth, and ate the portrait like a pancake, one bite at a time, and then rolled on the ground, gurgling, and came in front of Shangguan Xiaofan, like a big turtle with a carapace, jumped up in an instant, and slashed with a knife.

Shangguan Xiaofan had already added one hundred and twenty points of caution, and at this moment, the Qiushui Sword came out of its sheath, and a blue light touched the origami knife, and the advantage of the Qiushui Sword was actually quite a match. The altar ghost swung the knife and slashed again, dancing seven or eight knife flowers in an instant, Xue Taisui didn't know how to use the knife, but he also saw it with a long time, and secretly called out that the beautiful knife tricks were even better than Wei Ran, the second best player in the Li family's army.

Seven or eight knife flowers, the altar ghost is actually a golden rooster independent, a layer of jar on the body is wide, small thin legs stand on the ground, the paper knife in the hand "ho ho" sound, around the brain. Xue Taisui praised, this knife move has a name, called a head-wrapping knife, a good martial artist needs to practice for a year before he can achieve a small success, at this moment, the devil in the altar is slipping under his feet, but the kung fu in his hands is not bad at all. Shangguan Xiaofan knew that this was a strong opponent, and the Qiushui Sword had already opened the white rainbow of Shushan swordsmanship, and a blue light went straight to the eyes of the altar ghost. The jar ghost is very treacherous, and does not intersect with the Qiushui sword, but rolls on the spot, gurgling like a big water tank, and the origami knife in his hand makes the knife move of lying on the ground, the jar is already sleek, and the lying knife is really a knife at this moment, and it is extremely sharp. This unconventional style of play greatly surprised Shangguan Xiaofan, Shangguan Xiaofan's sword light swept to the altar several times, but it made a crisp sound, and it did not pierce a minute, but he didn't pay attention to his ankles, and he was swept by an autumn wind and falling leaves, and suddenly blood was like an infusion.

"Ahh With a bang, the silk and bamboo wind music stopped, and the cups and plates fell to the ground, and many maids were so frightened that they cried, only to find out that this was not a trick, this little guy with a paper knife would kill.
