At dawn the next day, before dawn, the soldiers ate quickly, and when the temperature was not yet high, the brigade set off for the south. Not hurrying or slow, walking more than 40 miles, to the Xingzhou Governance Office Longgang City.

Forcing the city, going down to the village.

At this time, Xue Huairang, the envoy of the Anguo Army in the city, was woken up early because Liu Chengyou came, but his mood was extremely unhappy.

Xue Huairang is already in his fifties, his body is quite tough, full of meat, thirsty for drinking, and a night maid...... Although his behavior is greedy, his appearance is quite correct, as long as he doesn't open his mouth to speak, he can't see that he is a vulgar martial artist.

"What kind of second prince is this, is it deliberately disturbing people's dreams?" Got up from the chest of Xinna's young concubine, scolded in her mouth, and cleaned up while expressing her dissatisfaction. The old face was a little pale, as if he had been overconsumed last night.

"Marshal, the second prince has sent an envoy into the city to let you meet in the barracks." When going to the hall, a section magistrate walked with a cramped step and gave way to Xue Huai, who was yawning.

"Huh?" As soon as his footsteps stopped, Xue Huai raised his beard: "What kind of second prince is this, so domineering?" The old man is so arrogant to me, he was personally appointed by Lao Tzu, and he was so arrogant to me! ”

After speaking, Xue Huairang, who was already disgruntled, turned his head and wanted to return the house, waved his hand and said, "Don't care about him!" ”

Seeing his willfulness, the official hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be handsome!" After all, he is the second prince, a noble family of heaven, and he is famous. Young and vigorous, if you offend him, you will inevitably invite trouble. ”

If the official is pushed, he will tell Xue Huairang directly, you can't afford to offend.

Calming down a little, Xue Huairang snorted ventingly: "It's just a child, I want to go and see what kind of character this second prince who beat the Khitan is." ”

With a mouthful of cannons, his behavior has softened, and he is no longer happy in his heart, but he honestly took people out of the city and went to Liu Chengyou's camp.

In front of the gate, looking at the two rows of armor soldiers who had built the knife bridge, the sunlight reflected by the steel knife flashed so hard that his eyes hurt. Seeing this battle, Xue Huai Rangqing was still humming, and muttered to himself: "This is to give me a dismount?" Ridiculous, just by this means, you want to scare the old man? ”

Raising his eyebrows, Xue Huairang led his entourage, walked in with his head held high, and the soldier put away his sword in time and walked to the front of the Chinese army's tent. Then, he was stopped by Li Chongju.

"Xue Envoy, please untie the blade!" The young commander did not have any arrogance on his face, but calmly pointed at the war knife on Xue Huairang's waist.

"Huh!" A touch of anger flashed across his face, Xue Huairang glanced at the tent, and could vaguely see the figure on the main seat from behind the tent, and deliberately shouted: "The second prince has such a big shelf, when the old man met Zhuang Zong and Jin Zu, he was allowed to have weapons on his side!" ”

Li Chongju still looked honest, and smiled at Xue Huairang: "Please ask Xue Envoy Jun to untie the blade, and the last general will personally keep it for you, so that it will not be contaminated with dust." ”

Xue Huairang had a cold face, his fists clenched so tightly that his joints rang, glaring at Li Chongju, almost spraying all the evil qi he had accumulated in his life at him: "Is it really easy to bully me as a veteran?" ”

"Don't dare. Please untie your sword. If the last general does it himself, it won't look good! Li Chongju's mouth grinned.

Seeing that this young man and animal harmlessly showed his fangs, Xue Huairang's face twitched, took a step back, untied the knife at his waist, and said indignantly: "Today, I really have a long experience!" If you want to see your Highness, what are the taboos? ”

"You can only be accounted for." Li Chongju followed the words and continued.

"You!" Raised his hand and pointed at Li Chongju, and pushed the knife with the sheath to his chest: "Keep it for the old man, if it is stained with a wisp of dust, I will ask you!" ”

This guy is quite powerful, and he didn't notice it for a while, and he almost didn't push Li Chongju down. stiffened, breathless, and blushed.

Liu Chengyou noticed the movement outside the tent early in the morning, and he didn't pretend to do anything else, so he quietly looked at Xue Huairang who walked in.

"I've seen the second prince! If you miss the distance, please forgive your sins. ”

Similarly, Xue Huairang also looked at Liu Chengyou, raised his neck, arched his hand casually, glanced at Liu Chengyou, and did not report his name, and his tone was extraordinarily rushed. This person, at this moment, is in a particularly unhappy mood. However, in Liu Chengyou's eyes, he intuitively felt that these warlords of the feudal towns were so reckless.

Xue Huairang was arrogant, Liu Chengyou was also arrogant at this time, Sima's face was numb, and he stared at Xue Huairang: "Xue Envoy Jun!" It's better to be famous than to meet. ”

Looking at Liu Chengyou, seeing such a yellow-haired child, Xue Huairang seemed to relax, only as if he was praising himself, and replied: "The prestige of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the handsome man has also been thunderous. ”

"Xue Huairang, a native of Taiyuan, ancestral Beibeihu, young and brave, aggressive by nature, defected to Zhuangzong, fought bravely, made many military exploits, and transferred to the military. From the Tang Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, he successively served as the assassin of Jiang, Shen, Yi, Liao, Mi and Huai Prefectures. At the end of Kaiyun, he successively commanded the envoys of the Ma army and the vanguard to follow Fu Yanqing and Du Chongwei to resist the Khitan. In the twelfth year of Tianfu, he killed the Liao general in Zhaozhou, and sent a letter to my dynasty......"

Without a trace of waves in his voice, Liu Chengyou simply recounted Xue Huairang's resume, which made Xue Huairang a little confused. Frowning, he looked at Liu Chengyou suspiciously: "Your Highness, what does this mean." ”

"It's nothing, I just feel that after a lifetime of fighting and governing several states, there is no growth." Liu Chengyou said.

Liu Chengyou was a little unkind, Xue Huairang felt that something was wrong, this kid was not just arrogant, it seemed that some people were not good. Suspicious eyes flew to Liu Chengyou, and Xue Huairang asked with a calm face: "What do you mean, and bluntly, why do you want to say these twists and turns to humiliate the veteran?" ”

Obviously, Xue Huairang really didn't have much fear of Liu Chengyou.

"Chief Neiqiu, was it appointed by Xue Yuanjun?" Seeing this, Liu Chengyou asked.

"Yes!" Xue Huairang replied very simply: "So what? ”

"This person has been in office for more than a month, what do you think he is doing as a county magistrate?"

"The people used by the old man are naturally not bad!" As if thinking of the money and food handed over by the chief of the inner hill, Xue Huairang subconsciously said, looking ashamed.

This time it was Liu Chengyou's turn to shake his face, and he didn't know if Xue Huairang was really nervous. He sighed softly: "I stayed in Neiqiu last night, and I have dismissed him, and I came from the south." ”

Hearing Liu Chengyou say this, Xue Huairang's face changed: "This is the old man's subordinate, an official under my Anguo Army, His Royal Highness didn't know what to say, and he appointed and dismissed the prisoners, is it a bit overstepping!" ”

"Lonely, ordered by the eldest father, Shangquan Hebei Prefecture Military Administration." Liu Chengyou immediately replied.

Originally, I wanted to talk to Xue Huairang about the Neiqiu County Magistrate again, but seeing Xue Huairang's performance, Liu Chengyou suddenly lost interest, and directly tried to see the dagger, his expression was sharp, and he asked coldly: "Xue Huairang, are you guilty?" ”

Seeing Liu Chengyou in trouble, Xue Huairang replied unhurriedly: "What is the crime of this handsome?" ”

"Solicitation is excessive, extortion, private punishment, harsh abuse of the people, connivance with subordinates, bullying and goodness, and in the territory of Xingzhou, all industries are wasted, and there are many complaints. Aren't these sins? Liu Chengyou said in a cold voice.

"These are also crimes?" Xue Huairang smiled directly and asked rhetorically.

Liu Chengyou was stunned at this time. When he asked this, he was a little speechless.

Xue Huairang took a long time: "His Royal Highness is here to ask about Ben Shuai's crime when he puts on such a big battle today?" ”

"Yes, so what?" Liu Chengyou and this veteran looked at each other, a little surprised, he was really arrogant, and he didn't have any reverence for him as a prince.

If Xue Huairang is not false at all, it is also impossible. It's just that he has always been rebellious, and after decades of life and death, he has also seen a lot of things. If you are hello, I am good, everyone is good, then he will naturally be more restrained, but at the moment, Liu Chengyou is obviously not good, and he will not "seek perfection".

Xue Huairang took a step forward, lowered his head slightly, and forced Liu Chengyou to look: "Your Highness, why do you ask Ben Shuai about the crime?" I am a town appointed by the Son of Heaven, do you have this authority? ”

Could it be that this is where your confidence lies, Xue Huairang?

Liu Chengyou secretly sighed in his heart, his eyes didn't blink, and he stared at him: "There is a word, it is called first cut and then played!" ”

Liu Chengyou's gaze at this time was so cold that even Xue Huai made this reckless man feel cold. looked at Liu Chengyou seriously, probably because the weather was too hot, unconsciously, a little sweat had broken out on his body, and Xue Huairang's momentum finally weakened: "Your Royal Highness, are you joking with Ben Shuai......"

"Putting on such a big battle, Xue Yuanjun thinks that Lone is joking with you?" After Liu Chengyou finished speaking, he waved his hand to the guard in the tent a little impatiently: "Take it!" ”

Seeing that Liu Chengyou was really coming, Xue Huairang subconsciously stretched out his hand to his waist, but unfortunately his waist was empty. The two guards immediately stepped forward to grab it, this man was old, but he was really a little fierce, and he almost broke free. The guards around Liu Chengyou were not good people, and they slapped him twice in the stomach before they subdued him.

"Let go of me! I am the Anguo Army, appointed by the emperor and ordered by the court! Why take me? Xue Huai's painful face was stunned, and then full of hideous anger.

His legs were hit two more feet, and he knelt heavily on the ground, and Xue Huai stopped a little. Looking at such a scene of bullying the elderly, it shows that Liu Chengyou is a villain.

"Why do you take this handsome?" Xue Huairang was pressed to his head, but the bull's eyes glared at Liu Chengyou deadly, and his anger surged.

Liu Chengyou got up, slowly walked in front of Xue Huairang, squatted down and looked at him: "Xue Yuanjun, has you always been so domineering?" If this is the case in all states, then it is not incomprehensible that the world cannot be stable. ”

"I just counted your sins, was it stubborn, or didn't listen to them at all?" Liu Chengyou spoke coldly, with a cold expression.

Hearing this, Xue Huairang reacted a little, and then opened his mouth and spewed out a little spittle: "Ridiculous, with this little mistake, you want to take down my town?" What a prince of the Han Dynasty, so domineering! ”

A foul smell came to his face, Liu Chengyou shivered and got up, covered his mouth and nose, and looked at the old man with disgust: "In the past, it was too merciful to you, so that the government and the people suffered!" If there is no warning, this evil will not be eliminated! ”

As soon as Liu Chengyou said this, Xue Huairang seemed to understand something, looked at Liu Chengyou, and blurted out: "You, do you want to make an example of me?" ”

Seeing that this domineering veteran was actually smarter, Liu Chengyou was a little surprised, but that look directly answered Xue Huairang.

At this time, Xue Huairang couldn't help it at all, and struggled hard and roared: "I don't accept it!" The envoys of the world's Dao states, which one is not like this, as soon as I do untouchables, I keep them safe, and they provide for me, what is wrong with me. In this world, there are people who are ten times more cruel and ferocious than me, why don't you take them? I'm not convinced! ”

Who taught you to hit the muzzle of a gun?

Listening to his remarks, Liu Chengyou suddenly felt tired, reasoning, it is estimated that it will not make sense. Turning his head to look at Wei Renpu, who was sitting on the side in a low-key manner: "Mr. Wei, did you hear that?" ”

Wei Renpu showed a bitter expression, but he was not too surprised.

"Since you have already guessed that I am going to kill chickens and monkeys, what is the use of not convincing?" Liu Chengyou's eyes were as cold as ever.

His expression froze, Xue Huairang gasped for breath, and was already a little flustered: "This marshal is the hero who expelled the Khitan and returned to the Han Dynasty, does His Highness really dare to do this great thing in the world?" ”

I don't know where this guy heard this, it's just a mess.

Holding his hands in his arms, Liu Chengyou said slowly: "This is too heavy!" I'm just asking for the people's lives and acting according to the law. ”

"No, I am the town marshal of the Son of Heaven, you have no right to kill me! Kill me, how do you explain to the Son of Heaven, how do you explain to the court! Liu Chengyou's tone became more and more flat, but Xue Huairang became more and more panicked.

mentioned Liu Zhiyuan again, as if Liu Zhiyuan could really bless him.

"How to explain to my father and the court, I don't have to worry about Xue Lingjun!" Liu Chengyou replied. The word "my father" is extremely pronounced.

With a dull heart, Xue Huairang blushed, and even dared to threaten Liu Chengyou: "There are still thousands of soldiers under this commander, isn't Your Highness afraid of causing a rebellion?" ”

"Command Xiang Xun, lead the army into Longgang, take over the guards, control the city, dare to make trouble, kill no mercy!" In front of Xue Huairang, Liu Chengyou calmly ordered, and his tone was cold.

The old face turned white, Xue Huairang lost all his spirit, and was paralyzed miserably, and then buried his head vigorously: "Your Highness spares your life......"

This abrupt change of face is really surprising. Liu Chengyou thought that he would be tough to the end.

"If Your Highness wants to shock the world, why don't you go to Ye Du to find Du Chongwei, he is greedy and exploitative, ten times more powerful than me!"

Liu Chengyou subconsciously blinked violently, didn't want to listen to what he said, and waved his hand: "Pull him down first, it seems!" ”

After Xue Huairang called to be taken down, Liu Chengyou paced in the tent for a long time, and said with emotion: "This question is right, I have a deeper understanding of the arrogance of these martial artists. ”

Hearing this, Wei Renpu persuaded: "Although there are many people like Xue Huairang, they are not all like this. There are also many handsome people in the world who are known for their character and intelligence. ”

"For example?"

"Fu Yanqing, Gao Xingzhou, An Xianqi......" Wei Renpu said a string of names, and they were all familiar people.

However, Liu Chengyou didn't take it too seriously, these famous generals and tired ministers of the dynasty secretly are afraid that there are also black materials. In this world, good people can't get out of the way. Of course, the above people have better reviews.

"Your Highness, are you really planning to kill Xue Huairang?" After Liu Chengyou thought for a while, Wei Renpu couldn't help but speak.

Raising his hand to stop him, Liu Chengyou said, "I know what you want to say." Kill, it is estimated that it cannot be killed. Just now, Xue Huairang mentioned Du Chongwei, maybe he didn't choose what he said, but it reminded me that I had to be cautious! ”

PS: I saw a book review, the thief is interesting, share it with those who are still chasing this book: This Later Han is a Shatuo person, which is the same as the Manchu rule. The biggest relationship with the Han Dynasty was that he was given the surname Liu by the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. His demise was one of the important symbols of the re-emergence of the Han nation. Now in this article, the rise of the Han nation was extinguished by this Liu Chengyou. From then on, there was no need to wait for Yashan, China was gone, only a history of foreign enslavement of local peoples like India.
