Chapter Seventy-Five
"Humph! I don't know how many pounds and taels I have, it's really a pig with a green onion in his nose and pretending to be an elephant! Tong Lin saw Bai Hua in the center of the lobby asking for help with an embarrassed face, and immediately opened his mouth to speak sarcastically, as if he had taken revenge for Fang Cai's threat.
Although Xu Hui in the crowd didn't say anything cool when he saw this, he was happy in his heart, obviously ashamed of Bai Hua's character, if he wasn't afraid of the military power in the other party's hands, Fang Cai would open his mouth like Tong Lin and express his heart angrily.
The people around him more or less agreed with Tong Lin's words, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, if he wasn't worried about the other party's revenge, he would have already laughed out loud.
Bai Hua's face was ugly and he watched Tong Lin's body rise and fall violently, and a stream of evil qi couldn't stop rolling around his body, and his hands had already grasped the long sword at his waist at some point, if he wasn't worried that the other party's strength was too strong and he was not an opponent, I am afraid that he would have taught the other party a good lesson.
Cheng Bing looked at the two of them and involuntarily snorted coldly, "Hmph!" Do you two regard the words of a certain family as if they were not in the ears and need me to repeat them? The momentum of the person who had been in the position for a long time burst out in an instant, and shrouded towards the white birch and the child forest who were glaring angrily.
Tong Lin and Bai Hua felt the oppression of the momentum on their bodies, their faces changed slightly, and they never thought that Cheng Bing, who was just a Confucian scholar, had such a heavy momentum on his body, and had to show a modest smile: "My lord, I can't wait because I feel tricky about the matter of the horse master, so I will lose my mind and anger the other party, please calm your anger!" ”
Although Bai Hua was very unhappy with Tong Lin, he honestly bowed to Cheng Bing like the other party and admitted his mistake.
Seeing this, Cheng Bing snorted coldly again, and then put away the momentum on his body, his ink-black eyes danced from time to time with sparks called wisdom, and the corners of his mouth cracked to reveal a touch of white teeth, giving people a sense of harmlessness to humans and animals.
If nothing happens, everyone present may be deceived by the appearance of the other party, but at this time, in the eyes of everyone, it is like a demon who eats people and does not spit out bones.
"Princes, since there is no good way, let's follow the advice of the head of the Du Huan family, send one person to the only way to the master of the horse, and surrender with our sincerity, so that Cangwu County can be protected from the tea poison of the war!"
"Your Excellency!" When everyone heard this, they praised Cheng Bing in the first place one after another, as if what the other party did was very correct, but the fact is that in the face of the strong Jingzhou Army and the fierce generals like Yan Liangwen Chou, surrendering to the horse master can really be said to be a very wise choice.
The people who were immersed in joy didn't notice what Cheng Bing said
When the personnel were dispatched to surrender to Zhou Qi, the master of the Han Dynasty, Bai Hua, who was the captain of Cangwu County, flashed a fierce light in his eyes, as if he was worried about being discovered by everyone, so he hid it well, and he also showed a smile from his heart and praised Cheng Bing in front of him.
I don't know how long it took, but everyone finally felt a little tired, and they all closed their mouths and stood in the lobby waiting for Lord Taishou's next decision.
Cheng Bing saw the eyes of everyone, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if everything was under his control, "Everyone, since we have sent people to surrender, we naturally need to be sincere, I don't know who is willing to lead a certain family's bamboo slips to set off?" A pair of eyes full of wisdom moved quickly on everyone's body, as if waiting for everyone's hair to recommend themselves.
Everyone who originally had a faint smile on their faces seemed to have thought of something when they heard this, and the smile on their faces disappeared, and they quickly lowered their heads like panicked rats, not daring to look at Cheng Bing's gaze.
Seeing this, the corners of Cheng Bing's mouth twitched violently, obviously he didn't expect things to be so difficult, but for the safety of the people, he had to speak again, "You don't have to have too much burden, after all, the person who said that he was going to surrender was a certain family, so even if he was scolded, I would be scolded first!" ”
When Tong Lin and the others heard this, an unnatural flush flashed on their faces, obviously Cheng Bing said that he was to the point, but you still look at me and I look at you, and I didn't know what to do for a while.
Bai Hua's face remained unchanged when he saw everyone's appearance, but his heart was already happy, as long as no one was willing to go, so that the surrender would also be stranded, and it would not be able to stop Zhou Qi's child's annexation of Jiaozhou, and buy more time for the lord, and he must make Zhou Qi pay a painful price.
"Hey! Since no one is going, we can only wait until the horse master leads the army to arrive, and a certain family surrenders on the city wall, anyway, the effect is the same! Cheng Bing looked helpless, then looked at everyone and said a little tiredly.
Du Huan in the crowd saw Taishou Cheng Bing like this, as if he was very disappointed that his group had arrived, his eyes were so dazzling, his eyes were red with blood gushing up, and he suddenly took a step, "My lord, a certain family is willing to lead the family to the way forward of the big Han and the horse, and send the Toucheng bamboo slip!" ”
Tong Lin and the others were all slightly stunned when they saw Du Huan who suddenly stepped out, but after hearing the other party's sonorous words, they couldn't help but feel the hot burning on their faces, as if they were burning their hearts.
"Good! Good! Good! Cheng Bing, who was already dead, saw that someone finally recommended himself, and said three good words in a row, which shows that the joy in the other party's heart is self-evident, "Du Huanru is waiting here for a while,
If you have nothing else to do, go away! He waved his hand to the crowd around him and signaled to retreat.
Seeing this, the corners of Bai Hua and the others twitched slightly, but they still honestly obeyed the other party's orders and slowly walked towards the outside of the lobby, thinking in their hearts what Lord Cheng Bing would explain to Du Huan.
Cheng Bing looked at Du Huan, who looked worried, and shook his head helplessly, "The head of the Du family doesn't have to be so nervous, a certain family is just writing a bamboo slip, as long as it is given to the hands of Zhou Qi and Zhou Haoran, the master of the big Han horse, the other party will definitely not have the slightest embarrassment for you, after all, this person's reputation in the Han is still reassuring!" ”
Cheng Bing's words were like a reassuring pill, so that Du Huan, who was extremely nervous, finally put the big stone that was raised high in his heart back into his stomach.
It didn't take long for Cheng Bing to write on a bamboo slip, and Du Huan, the Taishou Lord who looked at the pen and the dragon and snake, was a little stupid, so that the other party found out after writing for a long time.
Cheng Bing carefully wrapped the bamboo slip in his hand, handed it over to Du Huan with a solemn face, and repeatedly told him, sending two good hands to leave with each other, looking at Du Huan, who had already left a trace of his back, Cheng Bing didn't know why his right eyelid kept beating, and there was indescribable irritability in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen.
After Du Huan left the City Lord's Mansion, he went home first, took a few good hands and the family members of the Taishou family, and quickly disappeared on the official road on a fat and drifting war horse.
On the city of Cangwu County, I saw a burly man staring at Du Huan's departing back with red eyes, and the green tendons on the back of his left hand like earthworms jumped like thunder, pinching the hilt of the sword at his waist, and I don't know how long it took for the hands holding the hilt of the sword to release the corners of his mouth again to reveal a crazy smile, and it disappeared into the night after a while.
"There are a hundred miles ahead of the lord, and I will see the county seat of Cangwu County later, now is it as black as today, will you camp on the spot?" Dian Wei sat on a majestic and colorful tiger, watching the last rays of the sunset disappear on the horizon, and the surrounding official roads fell into the darkness of the five fingers that could not be reached, and the trees on both sides of the official roads during the day seemed to be like demons with teeth and claws that were about to devour everyone.
After hearing Brother Dian Wei's words, Zhou Qi also flashed a solemn look on his face, obviously he didn't expect the sky to change so quickly, so that he hadn't reached the predetermined place yet, and when he thought of the many dangers of marching at night, he could only agree to the other party's proposal and nodded.
After a while, on the wide official road, I saw a horse running quickly: "The lord has an order, and set up camp!" After hearing the shouts of the scouts, the team consciously moved closer to the Chinese army, and some of them set up a large camp to make a fire to eat, and even a few horses disappeared into the night... to be continued
