Chapter 13 Troops Move to Chongqing

According to Cheng Yanwu's intentions, he didn't intend to restrain Tao Chenmo, but Tao Chenmo, in order to avoid the truth, still insisted that Cheng Yanwu take him into custody, and Cheng Yanwu couldn't help it, so he had to agree. To this day, Tao Chenmo didn't know his situation, he was very guilty in his heart, and called Wei Wenzhong and Cheng Yanwu many times to ask them to hand him over to Zhong Jie, so as not to harm the innocent soldiers, but these two people did not agree to be killed, Wei Wenzhong was also worried that Tao Chenmo would find a short-term view, so he let himself live in the cell opposite Tao Chenmo, and all the things outside the prison were handed over to Cheng Yanwu, which made Tao Chenmo cry and laugh.

After being besieged in Nanshan Prison, Tao Chenmo had clearly felt that something was wrong, although there were still people sending three meals a day every day, but he saw that Wei Wenzhong was just eating some dry food, and then he didn't even eat anything, presumably something was wrong, Tao Chenmo secretly felt sad, how could he be so taken care of by others.

On the evening of this day, he couldn't hold back anymore, so he called Wei Wenzhong to the prison door and asked slowly: "Wenzhong, let's say, what's going on outside?" ”

Wei Wenzhong smiled: "What can be the matter, isn't this good?" ”

Tao Chen's face was expressionless, but his eyes were sharp, and he continued to ask: "Do you think that if you don't say it, I won't know?" You haven't eaten two meals, is it that the Yuzhou army has besieged Nanshan? ”

Wei Wenzhong rarely saw Tao Chenmo so stern, but he still wanted to make up some excuses, and he was muttering, but he found that Tao Chenmo was looking at him directly, and he had no choice but to sigh: "The general guessed well, Shi Zhongjie, the supervisor of Yuzhou, has taken over Yuzhou and sent heavy troops to besiege Nanshan. ”

Although Tao Chenmo had already guessed a few points, he still couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard Wei Wenzhong, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Wenzhong, the matter has come to this, if you don't want the innocent death of 2,000 soldiers, hand me over to Zhong Jie, otherwise, if this continues, how will you end up?" ”

Wei Wenzhong suddenly cheered up and said categorically: "I don't care, I only know that if something happens to you, General Tao, General Cheng will not forgive me, Mrs. Pujia will not forgive me, and the people of Yunyang will not forgive me. ”

"You ......" Tao Chenmo was a little angry, but he still suppressed it, he knew Wei Wenzhong's good intentions, and continued slowly, "Wenzhong, you can work hard, but does it make sense to do this?" Zhong Jie has an army of tens of thousands, how can you fight with others with just 2,000 people? Can you cross this mountain of swords and fire to kill Zhong Jie? I know you want to protect me, but not only will you not be able to protect me, but you will also let 2,000 soldiers die innocently, can't you see through such a simple truth? ”

Wei Wenzhong snorted: "I know, it's just ........ In this case, I will go and discuss with General Cheng Yanwu first. He was afraid that he would be persuaded by Tao Chenmo if he stayed a little longer, in fact, he also knew in his heart that if Zhong Jie broke through, it would be difficult for them to fight back, it was nothing more than a fish dead and the net was broken, but two thousand against tens of thousands, I was afraid that the fish was dead, but the net was already tough.

On the Nanji Gate, it seems that everything is as usual, the soldiers are a little tired, and the tense nerves have become numb for several days, and what is even more hateful is that this Liang Yu and Ding Kangyang and others are eating and drinking on the city tower, obviously they can't pour it but they are still drinking, and at this time Liang Yu is already lying on the table and is too lazy to move, Ding Kangyang saw that it was already the hour, and the hour was almost up, so he deliberately pulled a few soldiers guarding the city to drink together, and asked the two subordinates before to order some hot dishes, these soldiers were a little worried at first, Ding Kangyang smiled and pointed to Liang Yu who was lying on the table, and these people were heartbroken, "Drink!", and they didn't care anymore.

This is easy to do, since you want to invite the soldiers to eat and drink, you can't just take care of those few, Ding Kangyang began to intentionally or unintentionally beckon other people to join the wine bureau, Ding Kangyang waved his hand, and someone sent sumptuous wine and food one after another, these soldiers also sighed: "It's better for Lord Ding to wait for me, I can't eat well with Lord Liang these days, let alone drink a little wine, I'll just say, it turns out that Lord Ding was not thin on me when he was on duty, and this time in comparison, it is even more obvious." ”

Ding Kangyang also pretended to excuse Liang Yu, saying that it was the above meaning, Liang Yu was just acting on orders, and the soldiers didn't care, anyway, as long as they had food and drink, Ding Kangyang saw that the fire was almost over, and gave a look to the person around him, and the person quietly disappeared.

The hour is approaching, and Yuzhou in the night is exceptionally quiet.

Only a few sparks occasionally flickered in the Prison Commander's Mansion, Zhong Jie seemed a little nervous at this moment, he was a little worried about some accidents, if there was an accident, Qin Xiang was good to say, but he was afraid that the other side would not be able to explain.

Compared with Zhong Jie, Zhao Yi and Hu Yang were extremely excited, they suffered a loss in front of Cheng Yanwu two days ago, and seeing that the opportunity to be ashamed was coming, both of them were eager to try, just in the middle of the comparison, Zhong Zhuo appeared in front of the two, and asked about the city defense of Yuzhou again with a little seriousness, Zhao and Hu naturally replied without thinking, "There must be no problem".

Zhong Jie pondered back and forth for a long time, and finally ordered: "Attack Nanshan and take Tao Chenmo." Zhao and Hu happily took the order and left.

And in prison, Tao Chenmo has been awake, if it was Qin Yong's people looking at him, he would sleep soundly, because he would feel that it was a relief, but at this moment it is completely different, looking at him are all bright and upright heroes, these heroic soldiers are naturally not afraid of life and death, but the husband or died on the battlefield, or dedicated to righteousness, he should die well, he Tao Chenmo is not a god and human emperor, he is not worthy of letting so many soldiers die for himself in vain, thinking of these, my heart is cramping.

However, Cheng Yanwu outside seems to be asleep, and he should be asleep, he has been nervous these days, and he does not dare to slack off in the slightest, he has not eaten well for almost two days, especially today, he has hardly eaten, reclining on the porch, and falling asleep after a while. Wei Wenzhong, who was questioned by Tao Chenmo before, no longer dared to go in to face Tao Chenmo, but waited quietly in front of the prison gate, and the sudden fatigue also made him quickly confused, but this tranquility did not last long, both of them were woken up by the rumbling stomach, and it was really difficult to sleep with hunger, Cheng Yanwu got up and stretched, thinking that he couldn't sleep anyway, so he planned to go around, and Wei Wenzhong touched his stomach, sighed and continued to close his eyes and want to sleep for a while.

Cheng Yanwu walked to the wall of the prison, looked up at the sky full of sparks, and his heart was suddenly broad, such a heaven and earth, just to make a great difference. Suddenly, a sound of Xi Suosuo came into his ears, and when he looked closely, he saw that a group of black shadows in the dark night was approaching the prison door, Cheng Yanwu let out a long howl, and immediately woke up the sleepy soldiers in front of the prison, Wei Wenzhong also flicked up, and hurriedly ran forward. Obviously, Cheng Yanwu's voice also frightened Zhao, Hu and the others who were planning to sneak attack, and after a little hesitation, Zhao Yi shouted: "That's it, let's not hide it, and the last one who wins Tao Chen will be promoted to the third level!" ”

As soon as all the soldiers heard the spirit, they all howled and rushed to the prison, and Cheng Yanwu held a nine-toothed boring in the wind, and shouted: "Whoever dares to step forward, this general will take his dog's head!" ”

The soldiers who were still fighting were frightened by Cheng Yanwu's voice and retreated, this Cheng Yanwu's prestige in the army was not casually said, these soldiers were in awe of him on weekdays, and they were naturally a little scared when he shouted at the moment.

Zhao Yi saw that the situation was wrong, and also shouted: "Soldiers, don't be afraid, I have Your Majesty's holy decree in my hands, if I dare to stop it, it will be disobedient to the decree, and even he will be taken down, and the prime minister and Your Majesty will be rewarded." ”

Cheng Yanwu laughed loudly: "Zhao Yi, what crime should you be guilty of falsely preaching the holy decree?" When the time comes, you can get Qin Xiang to exonerate, but you want your soldiers to take responsibility for you? ”

"False proclamation? Cheng Yanwu, I respect you as a general, so I delayed until today to mention Tao Chenmo, but you have to inch in, you have no king's law, and you even contemptuously call Your Majesty's holy decree, it is simply unreasonable, no matter how clever you say tonight, the power of heaven has fallen, and those who know each other will hurry up and hand over Tao Chenmo, maybe I can intercede for you to save you from death. Zhao Yi couldn't bear it anymore.

Cheng Yanwu still aggressively asked: "You say that it is a holy decree is a holy decree?" Didn't you come to the parable last time? Or in your eyes, there is only Qin Xiang and no His Majesty? You can rattle the bell and beg the tail and be willing to be a lackey, but how can you trap innocent soldiers in injustice? These soldiers have followed you for many years, and your conscience has really been eaten by dogs? ”

Zhao Yi kept saying "you, you, you", and was already so angry that he couldn't speak, Hu Yang hurriedly continued: "Cheng Yanwu, I know that you will be reasonable, Gonggong Yu, you come forward to read the holy decree to our general Cheng." Then he beckoned the eunuch to come forward.

Where has this father-in-law seen such a scene, he has long been frightened and a little weak, and when he heard Hu Yang's greeting, he trembled and moved out of the crowd, holding the holy decree at a loss.

Hu Yang urged: "Father-in-law Yu, the holy decree is Your Majesty, what are you afraid of? ”

Father-in-law Yu had no choice but to read it again. As soon as he finished reading, Hu Yang asked Cheng Yanwu: "Cheng Yanwu, see what kind of quibbles you are making now?" Do you want your men to follow you in disobeying the decree? ”

Cheng Yanwu already knew in his heart that this matter could not be faked, he had seen this father-in-law Yu, and he had not been to Yuzhou once or twice, but he had a flash of inspiration, and he laughed again, and asked loudly: "It's a joke, since it is a real holy decree, why can't you wait for this father-in-law to kneel down to welcome the decree when it is read out?" Do you think I'm a three-year-old child, and just find a eunuch to recite a few words and be a holy decree? ”

Speaking of this, Hu Yang and Zhao Yi are angry, but people are right, when Yu Gonggong recited the holy decree, he forgot to kneel when he was proud, how is this good?

Hu Yang hurriedly said: "Father-in-law Yu, do you say that this holy decree is true or false? ”

"Naturally, naturally is true."

"If you say it's true, it's true? Take it over to the general to see if it's true or not. Cheng Yanwu said sharply.

This father-in-law Yu was already frightened, how dare he walk into Cheng Yanwu at this time.

Zhao Yi and Hu Yang don't know how to say it anymore.

Before the two of them could react, Cheng Yanwu turned to the besieging soldiers and said loudly: "Soldiers, Zhao Yi and Hu Yang want to sacrifice Tao Chenmo in order to curry favor with Qin Xiang. Don't fall for Zhao Yi and Hu Yang. ”

Zhao Yi and Hu Yang were already so angry that they couldn't speak, and they were divided for a long time, and then Zhao Yi howled: "Everyone should not listen to this Cheng Yan Wu quibble, Cheng Yan I resist the will and disobedience, whoever wins Cheng Yan I will be given to the Ming Sheng, promoted to three levels in a row, and awarded another thousand taels of gold." ”

The soldiers were itchy and ready to move, but they were afraid of Cheng Yanwu's majesty, and when they were in a dilemma, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "General Zhao is a good talker, brothers, let's rush up and take down Cheng Yanwu, fame and fortune." ”

It was none other than Tulamboba, who was mixed in with the soldiers.

When the soldiers heard the shouting, they became emboldened and rushed forward.

Cheng Yanwu saw that the situation was wrong, and secretly complained in his heart, seeing that several people had rushed to the front, Cheng Yanwu suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "Slow." ”

Hu Yang grinned and said: "General Cheng, that's right, those who know the times are Junjie, and everyone is not embarrassed to hand over Tao Chenmo." ”

Cheng Yanwu scolded: "Let your mother's bullshit, it's okay to ask Tao Chenmo, but you don't waste the lives of innocent soldiers, I'll make a bet with you, Zhao Yi, Hu Yang, you two do it together, if you can beat me, I will give Tao Chenmo both hands, but if you can't beat it, just give me a run!" ”

This was unexpectedly Zhao Yi and Hu Yang, it was supposed to be done, but how did Cheng Yanwu come to such a hand, when Cheng Yanwu was guarding Liangzhou with Cheng Jinshang, it was a person who made Wei Rong frightened, he had single-handedly fought more than 100 elite soldiers of Wei Rong, and captured the four princes of Wei Rong, and his martial arts were superb I am afraid that there will be two more Hu Yang and Zhao Yi are not his opponents, so what can these two people do?

Seeing that Zhao Yi and Hu Yang were a little afraid, Tulan Gurou was clever, whispered a few words to Tulan Bobai, Bobai understood, and said loudly again: "Zhao and Hu are two generals with strong martial arts, what is one Cheng Yanwu, defeat Cheng Yanwu, and take down Tao Chenmo." ”

When Zhao and Hu heard this, they immediately became angry, turned around and stared at Tulan Bobai viciously, and said sharply: "What are you, hurry up and shut up!" ”

Cheng Yanwu laughed wildly and said, "Why, two, the soldiers under your command trust you so much, you two are cowardly?" The soldiers are all watching, the two of you can't even beat me, and you are still worthy of leading these heroes? It's a man, just come forward with your mother, don't use others as guns. ”

Zhao and Hu looked at each other, I don't know what to do, Turan Gurou saw that the situation was wrong, because her female voice was afraid of revealing flaws, so she handed over the idea to Tulan Bobai, Tulan Bobai squeezed to Zhao Yi's side, and said in a low voice: "General, the villain shouldn't be too talkative, but the current situation is afraid that he can't hesitate, tens of thousands of soldiers are looking at it, if the two generals can't beat this Cheng Yanwu, it doesn't matter, who said that we will withdraw if we lose, we have a lot of people, it's not you two who have the final say, the generals first tired him, and then the soldiers went up again, give him a wheel war, Grinding also grinds him to death, I don't believe that he is beaten with iron, besides, the two generals are strong in martial arts, and the two join forces, and it is not certain who loses and who wins. ”

Zhao Yi was angry, where did this come out of Xiao Qisan, when was it his turn to speak, and he was about to get angry, Hu Yang took his hand and said: "Although this guy is presumptuous, it is not unreasonable, although you and I may not be able to beat him, but as long as he is entangled, the soldiers can rush into the prison and take down Tao Chenmo." ”

Zhao Yi looked at the situation, these soldiers were afraid of Cheng Yanwu, and they didn't take the lead in charging, I was afraid that few people would dare to move, Ji Cheng, the two muttered a few words to the people around them, and then stepped forward.

Nanshan Prison can be described as very lively, and this Nanji Gate is much quieter, Liang Yu has already been drunk unconscious, a group of soldiers because of the effect of drugs and alcohol, also drunk crookedly, or hula asleep, or crooked play, as soon as the time came, Ding Kangyang ordered someone to open the city gate, a few slightly sober soldiers were still asking why they wanted to open the city gate, Ding Kangyang did not answer, just let them rest well, for a while, the horse's hooves were urgent, from far to near, Cheng Jinshang, Wang Jinyi, Ren Pujia and others led all the people into the city.

A few soldiers who were still laughing saw Cheng Jinshang, suddenly sobered up for three minutes, and fell to the ground with a pop, and several people on the city tower immediately ran in to inform Liang Yu when they saw that the situation was wrong, and shook Liang Yu for a long time before he woke up, his eyes were open, but he was still confused, several soldiers were very anxious, and hurriedly shouted Cheng Jinshang's name, Liang Yu's eyes were glaring, and he was smart, and suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Who are you talking about?" ”

"General Cheng Jin Shang Cheng has entered the city!"

"What?" Liang Yu dropped the person, went straight out of the attic, looked down, this was still enough, and instantly screamed bitterly: "It's over, Ding Kangyang, why are you hurting me?" Why did you hurt me? Immediately ordered the left and right to close the door to fight, but this group of soldiers has long been unconscious, where is there a response, Liang Yu's reaction is quite fast, seeing that everyone did not respond, he hurriedly rushed down the city tower to report to the prison governor's mansion, just walked a few steps, was blocked by Wang Jinyi who was facing him, Liang Yu's heart was cold, and secretly shouted: "My life is over!" ”

Wang Jinyi shouted: "Tie me up!" ”

rushed up left and right, Liang Yu didn't resist, he was tied up into a big dumpling bag, carried downstairs, and saw Cheng Jinshang and Ding Kangyang talking about this, Liang Yu was so angry, so he howled at Ding Kangyang: "Ding Kangyang, why are you hurting me, why are you hurting me?" ”

Ding Kangyang turned his head, smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Brother Liang, I'm offended." Then he turned around and reported to Cheng Jinshang.

Cheng Jinshang learned the general situation in Yuzhou from Ding Kangyang, and immediately ordered Ding Kangyang to lead 2,000 soldiers to guard Nanjimen, and he rushed to Nanshan Prison immediately with Wang Jinyi and Ren Pujia.

Hu Yang and Zhao Yi were forced to come forward because of the situation, Cheng Yanwu saw that these two people were very funny, Hu Yang looked back, all the soldiers were staring at himself and Zhao Yi, this time it was really difficult to ride a tiger, but after thinking about it, as long as Cheng Yanwu was entangled, the matter would be half done, so he turned his heart sideways, handed a color to Zhao Yi and howled and rushed to Cheng Yanwu, Zhao Yi had to move forward when he saw this, Cheng Yanwu knew the plans of these two people, so he planned to hit with a blow, and saw that Hu Yang was close, Cheng Yanwu gathered the strength of his whole body and waved the nine-tooth windward boring in his hand to sweep to the waist of Populus euphratica, before the boring was near, Populus euphratica had felt murderous to the body, suddenly felt cramped, secretly called "not good", between the electric light and flint, in order to protect the waist, I had to hurriedly oblique grid knife hard to connect Cheng Yanwu a move, the boring knife was connected to each other and suddenly sparked, in this dark night, it was particularly dazzling, Populus euphratica was shocked, the blood flowed backwards, and instantly withdrew from Zhangyuan, Zhao Yi, who rushed forward, did not expect Cheng Yanwu to force back Populus euphratica with a move, and hesitated slightly, Cheng Yanwu's nine-toothed windward boring accompanied by the snort of the pierced air swept towards himself, just saw the poplar down, where did Zhao Yi dare to take it hard, had to lean over to dodge, Cheng Yanwu just finished a move and one after another, took advantage of the momentum in the air half-spin, concentrated left foot kicked Zhao Yi in the lower abdomen, Zhao Yi landed and did not stand firm, had to put the bamboo whip in his hand in front of the lower abdomen, but still half a beat slower, only to hear a wail, Zhao Yi rolled on the ground several times, holding the lower abdomen can no longer do any movement.

Tulan Gurou didn't expect these two people to be so bad, and they were defeated in the hands of Cheng Yanwu in just an instant, so it was impossible to rely on these two people to entangle Cheng Yanwu, and then handed a look to Tulan Bobai, and Bobai shouted: "Soldiers, let's go up together, see if this Cheng Yanwu can have three heads and six arms." With that, he rushed forward, and the other soldiers did not dare to move at first, but the dozens of people brought by Turan Gurou himself were not afraid, so they all rushed forward, so that the other soldiers saw that dozens of people rushed forward, and they all rushed over indiscriminately.

Cheng Yanwu secretly screamed "bitter", but the momentum was irreversible, so he had to fight horizontally, Wei Wenzhong also felt that his scalp was numb, and he beckoned left and right, holding a gold wolf tooth lance and killing the general.

Seeing that the plan succeeded, Tulan Borou and others avoided Cheng Yanwu and went to the prison to kill, seeing that he was about to enter the door, but was blocked by Wei Wenzhong, Tulan Gurou and others had not fought with Wei Wenzhong, nor had they seen his skills, Tulan Bobai put his heart sideways, ready to break through, but this Wei Wenzhong is not an idle person, the wolf tooth lance in his hand is high and low, or sweep or stab, Tulan Bobai is difficult to advance half a step, Tulan Gurou saw that the situation was not right, so he beckoned the left and right to besiege Wei Wenzhong, Wei Wenzhong was not afraid, one person in front of the rung, the person was one, After a few rounds, more than ten people fell to the ground, Tulan Gurou secretly complained in her heart, to say that this Tulan Bobai is a rare good hand in the court of the North Abandonment, coupled with her own strong martial arts, the two of them joined forces to help Wei Wenzhong, but she knows very well that although the current situation cannot be resolved quickly, this Wei Wenzhong is not three heads and six arms, and if there is another wave of siege, this Wei Wenzhong will have nothing to do after all, the idea is decided, Tulan Gurou once again beckoned everyone to kill Wei Wenzhong.

Cheng Yanwu saw it clearly and wanted to go out to help Wei Wenzhong break the siege, but Zhao and Hu led hundreds of people to surround themselves, even if they had the ability to reach the sky, they were just powerless at the moment.

And Tao Chenmo, who was in prison at this moment, was even more anxious, he was worried not that he would fall into the hands of Zhong Jie, but that Wei Wenzhong and Cheng Yanwu would blindly fight hard, and they might sacrifice the innocent lives of 2,000 soldiers in vain, but let him call in every way, the prison guards just wouldn't let him out, and the powerlessness in his heart at this moment was far greater than when Bai Ling's 40,000 army besieged Yunyang.

Cheng Yanwu and Wei Wenzhong both have the courage to be a husband and a man, but the other party is really a lot of soldiers, and they can't support it.

At this moment, there were bursts of shouts and killings outside Nanshan Prison, and Cheng Yanwu was shocked, could it be that Zhao and Hu had other reinforcements? However, this surprise did not last long, because after only a moment, Cheng Yanwu saw the soldiers besieging him panicked and began to flee, it turned out that the person who came was none other than Cheng Jinshang, Ren Pujia and others.

Cheng Yanwu was very happy in his heart, and his confidence became more sufficient, only to hear him shout, dancing in the wind and boring, and two more fell down in an instant, and then beckoned Wei Wenzhong and said: "Brother Wenzhong, hold on, General Cheng is here, hahahaha." ”

Wei Wenzhong was naturally aware of the situation in front of him, and when he heard Cheng Yanwu shouting like this, he suddenly felt a three-point increase in strength, Tulan Gurou saw that he had the advantage, but he lost the opportunity in an instant, and he was very angry in his heart, but at this moment she had no more options, so she had to tell the left and right to act.

Cheng Jinshang with tens of thousands of troops, like a bamboo, soon besieged Nanshan Yuzhou defenders rushed to pieces, Zhao Yi, Hu Yang saw that the situation was not right and looked for an opportunity to slip away, but was blocked by Cheng Yanwu, Zhao Yi put his heart to prepare for a fish to die net, Cheng Yanwu laughed wildly and lifted the boring and slashed, Zhao Yi resisted indiscriminately but to no avail, a few moves down the embarrassment, was about to continue to struggle, was kicked in the chest by Cheng Yanwu, the end is like the broken kite fell straight to the stone lion in front of the ladder, only to hear a bang, poor Zhao Yi will die whine, Seeing this, Hu Yang immediately put down the weapon in his hand and howled: "The general spared his life, and he just listened to the words of Zhong Jie's villain, and did not intend to commit a crime. ”

Cheng Yanwu wanted to kill him cleanly, but after thinking about it, General Cheng must still have something to ask clearly, so he dissipated a little murderous anger and said, "It's okay, this general will keep your dog's life first." After that, let the left and right tie up this Zhao Yi.

After Ren Pujia came in, he immediately found Wei Wenzhong, asked where Tao Chenmo was, and then walked into the prison with Wei Wenzhong, and went straight to Tao Chenmo's cell.

When Ren Pujia saw the somewhat haggard Tao Chenmo, her eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, thinking that when she was down, at first sight, how high-spirited this young general was, and it was really the world is volatile and unpredictable, Tao Chenmo laughed first, and said slowly: "Madam is here?" ”

Ren Pujia held back her crying and said, "Pujia is too late, so the general has suffered." ”

Tao Chenmo said with a smile: "It's not too late, it's not too late, I think it's quite timely, besides, with General Cheng Yanwu and Brother Wenzhong, where have I suffered half a point." ”

Ren Pujia saw that Tao Chenmo's state was not too bad, and his mood was also a lot soothed, smiled, and suddenly remembered something, and then took off the cloth bag behind him, and hurriedly opened it, inside was a brand new white clothes, Ren Pujia looked at Tao Chenmo, his eyes were full of pity, and said: "The general is good white, Pujia expected that the boat and car must be dirty all the way, so I specially brought a new dress for the general from Yunyang, I hope it is not too big." ”

Wei Wenzhong was full of emotion when he saw this scene, Tao Chenmo took the clothes in Ren Pujia's hand, at this moment his mood was like a spring light, like drinking warm water, he knew how gentle the woman in front of him was, how hearted, it is not difficult to imagine that since he was dismissed and escorted, this woman should have been tossing and turning all nights, anxious, but he was not in a hurry to express too much, because there were some feelings, only he knew in his own heart, he just smiled and looked at the clothes in his hand, and then looked at Ren Pujia, whose eyes had been a little moist, Then he said gently: "Madame has a heart." ”

At this time, Cheng Jinshang, Cheng Yanwu, and Wang Jinyi also strode in, and seeing that Tao Chen was unharmed, Cheng Jinshang smiled and said: "It seems that someone is more anxious than me." ”

When Cheng Jinshang said this, Ren Pujia actually felt a little blushing, Tao Chenmo did not take this stubble, but bowed down and said: "The general is afraid that he has cut off the back road here, and the minister is ashamed." ”

"Shameful?" Cheng Jinshang pretended to blame and continued, "I think the most open-minded people in the world are you, Tao Chenmo and Bian Xiangyu, the two of you played a good game, and I became a daredevil twice, although the two of you don't know each other, but it seems that they are looking for me to collect debts in a team." ”

Although Tao Chenmo knew that Cheng Jinshang was joking, but after all, this was the case, he really felt a little reluctant in his heart, so he had to bow his hand again: "The minister fell into a dilemma for the general, and he was indeed reckless. ”

"You are a general, I'm afraid it's overkill," Cheng Jinshang laughed, patted Tao Chenmo on the shoulder, looked him up and down, and continued, "You kid, it's okay, see what Ben will bring you." "Then let someone bring something.

Tao Chenmo took it, and he was a little excited in his heart, this pear flower gun had not been used for a long time.

Cheng Jinshang said loudly: "Tao Chenmo, your weapons will be returned to you, and I have also brought you Mrs. Pujia, who you have been relieved of, and there are 10,000 soldiers stationed in Yunyang, it should be worry-free, what, I have done everything I promised you." ”

Cheng Jinshang said this deliberately, Ren Pujia was a little shy, and Tao Chenmo smiled helplessly: "I believe in the general, but I didn't expect the general to really turn the other way." ”

"There are a lot of things you didn't expect, I'll tell you slowly in the future, it's good that you're okay now, since I'm back in Yuzhou, I still have to go to see my old friend Lord Zhong." Cheng Jinshang said.

Tao Chen said: "Lord Zhong must have a lot to say to the general, and the general should go to see him." ”

Cheng Jinshang immediately handed over the matter of sweeping Nanshan Prison to Wei Wenzhong, and at the same time ordered Wang Jinyi to immediately lead his troops to the Yuzhou military camp to persuade the garrison who did not participate in the siege of Nanshan Prison, and he led Cheng Yanwu all the way to the prison governor's mansion.

The defeat of the Nanshan prison soldiers has reached Zhong Jie's ears, this is the situation that his master "Mr. Phantom" is looking forward to seeing, but after all, it is still important to save his life, so as soon as he heard the news from Nanshan, Zhong Jie hurriedly ordered his subordinates to pack up some soft and prepare to escape, and the subordinates of the prison captain's mansion were panicking and at a loss, at this time, they heard the sound of horses' hooves mixed with armor colliding, and everyone was even more shocked, Zhong Jie saw that time was pressing, and his things were not packed up, so he grabbed some clothes directly in his study and prepared to go out, As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard door, he saw Cheng Jinshang and his entourage coming over violently, Zhong Jie was going to be arrested, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was still something that had to be done, so he hurriedly turned around and returned to the house.

Cheng Jinshang saw it clearly and shouted loudly: "Lord Zhong, why did you turn around and leave when you saw me Cheng someone?" ”

Zhong Jie hesitated for a moment, stopped, looked back at Cheng Jinshang and his party, and said with a somewhat wry smile: "General Cheng is here when he comes, and this door can't stop you anyway." Then he turned and walked back into the house.

Cheng Jinshang was very puzzled, why did this Zhong Jieruo suddenly have to return to the mansion in a hurry, could there be another way to escape in this mansion? Thinking about it, there was indeed something wrong, so he immediately dismounted and led Tao Chenmo and others into the mansion.

Zhong Jie intercepted a torch in the hands of a subordinate on the way back to the study, and as soon as he entered the door, he threw the torch to the bookshelf full of various classics, but maybe because he was too anxious, the torch was almost extinguished, and the bookshelf naturally did not burn, Zhong Jie looked back anxiously, Cheng Yanwu and others were already close, so he hurriedly picked up the torches on the ground and pestled them on the bookshelf one by one. Hurry over and snatch the torch in Zhong Jie's hand, Cheng Yanwu beckoned left and right to the fire in the house is a mess, just when the torch in his hand was about to be taken away by Cheng Jinshang, Zhong Jie used his last bit of strength to dance towards a portrait on the wall, poof, the portrait ignited, everyone saw that it was just a painting, so they didn't pay much attention, they were busy extinguishing the letters and books that were lit.

After a while, the open fire in the house was extinguished, and Cheng Jinshang turned over some of the remaining letters, some of which were obviously exchanged with Qin Yong, and some of which were written inexplicable, it was obvious that Zhong Jie was destroying the evidence that he and Qin Yong or some other people were in tandem with each other.

Seeing that there was nothing to be done, Zhong Jie stopped struggling, looking at the letters on the table that had not yet been burned, he had to shake his head helplessly, Cheng Jinshang looked at Zhong Jie coldly, and said: "Lord Zhong, you and I have been officials in the same dynasty for several years, but I really can't imagine that you have so many secrets."

Zhong Jie said coldly: "Success or defeat, whatever you say." ”

Cheng Jinshang didn't bother to talk to him, so he asked someone to take Zhong Jie down to look at it first, and asked everyone to sort out all kinds of letters and classics in Zhong Jie's study, when Zhong Jie was escorted out of the door, he looked back intentionally or unintentionally, not at the desk, but at the portrait that was lit before, not to look at it, but this look surprised him, this portrait was not burned by mistake, but burned some large and small gaps, but he was held by two people, there was nothing to be done, but he found that None of the people in the room cared about the portrait on the wall, and their hearts calmed down again, as long as they didn't want to cover it up, it would make Cheng Jinshang and the others ignore it, so they quickly settled down and followed the two guards out as if nothing happened.

However, Zhong Jie's strange behavior was seen by Tao Chenmo, which reminded him of the scene when Zhong Jie tried his best to throw the torch at the portrait when he first entered the door, after Zhong Jie was escorted out, Tao Chenmo walked to the portrait and looked at it carefully, the portrait is about three feet long and nearly two feet wide, and has been burned out of some holes, the lower body is gone, and the fingers of his right hand have been burned off. It can still be seen that this person is sitting calmly on a stone chair, as if looking down on sentient beings, wearing glass beads on the remaining wrist of his right hand, the left hand is the most complete, and there is an almost star-shaped scar or tattoo on the wrist about three fingers towards the elbow. Although the portrait is incomplete, it can still be vaguely distinguished from the costume, which is not quite like the dress of the Central Plains.

Tao Chenmo was very puzzled, but he couldn't see anything, Cheng Jinshang saw this and asked, "What, what kind of masterpiece is this?" ”

Tao Chenmo shook his head and said slowly: "I don't know what kind of painting is lowly, but I just saw that Zhong Jie cared a lot about this painting, so I was curious." ”

Saying this, Cheng Jinshang seemed to remember Zhong Jie's strange behavior of throwing torches to burn the portrait, so he also came over to see what this painting was about, but like Tao Chenmo, he couldn't see anything except that it was a portrait of an alien sitting at one end, and the two had no choice but to ask someone to put it away first.
