Chapter 166: Interlocking
It's just that He Taihu doesn't know, he can see it from afar, maybe it's all under control. But the "fleas" hidden in the city were leaning towards him with impunity. A monk, a woman in red, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy sneaked through the darkness, approaching the brightest place in the darkness.
Xu felt that the night of Huaiyou Mansion in Fengxiang County was a little cold. Chixin tightened the robe wrapped around his body again. The young man surnamed Leng on the side saw it and rolled his eyes again.
The three of them fought and played all the way, and they got to know each other better. It's just that this young man surnamed Leng has always had a little bit of trouble with Chixin, which makes the monk a little big. Chixin was about to speak, but was stopped by the monk who could not pass it. The three of them immediately stopped and hid their figures, listening intently to the sudden sound.
The soldiers who have been attracted to the north gate, for some reason, there are still people who "hold on", and there is more than one, maybe there are other plans. It seems that tonight may be more than just on the surface.
Through the cracks in the shelter, he saw that the soldiers were all fully armed. Instead of wearing thin armor, he was dressed in bright light, holding a halberd, as if waiting for someone's order.
When the shouts of killing began outside the north city gate, the soldiers turned a deaf ear and only stood by in place. If you look closely, there are hundreds of them. It can be seen that what you are going to do tonight must be a surprise: "Follow up and see." ”
The two nodded at the same time, and the three of them figured out the hiding place and quietly followed.
The soldiers marched in an orderly manner, and at first glance they looked like battle-hardened veterans. It's just that these soldiers are gathered here tonight, and I don't know what to do. Or, what is the intention. Could it be that the person in charge of them is one of the people on the high platform and outside the northern gates?
Cao Zhiji, who was knocked out by Liu Youyao's fists, was holding his chest and panting heavily. In the confusion, he heard the sound of a rush breaking through the air, and knew that the operation had begun tonight. It had been arranged when he was on duty at the North City Gate before, and although there was an accident, it did not affect the planned place tonight.
It's just that this good show, how can he be missing?
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the wavering soldiers to entangle the three of them, Cao Zhiji quietly got up, slowly retreated, and disappeared into the north city gate. When he dodged into the city gate, he also closed the city gate with his hand, buying more time for his long-planned plan.
Kang Junli saw Cao Zhihalberd fleeing quietly, and stomped his feet angrily. After slashing the soldiers in front of him with a knife on the back, Lang shouted: "Stop! Stop it! If it's too late, I'll fall for the thief. ”
The soldiers had fought so hard that they couldn't stop because of Captain Kang's words. They all wanted to make military achievements from this encirclement and suppression, so that they could reap some benefits.
If it weren't for the fact that Qingxia Town had not been able to participate in the previous slaughter, and followed the people in front of them to stay in Huaiyou Mansion, they would have been able to eat and drink spicy food like the people on the high platform at this time, and look at the slender waist and flowers.
As soon as they thought of it, these soldiers turned their halberds one after another and stabbed at Captain Kang. Liu Qingmei and Liu Youyao, who were trying their best to block on the side, showed surprised expressions when they saw this scene, "This fellow room is the same as the following offenders, is it the characteristics of this Huaiyou Mansion?" ”
There was only a Cao Zhiji, and a group of confused soldiers who turned against each other, what kind of trouble is this? Captain Kang intended to stop it, but unexpectedly he was stabbed by a group of soldiers, and suddenly anger rose from his heart, and evil came from the side of his guts.
He rushed to him with his heart, for fear that he would be one step too late and fulfill others and wronged himself. Captain Kang broke off and shouted, "For the sake of the end of the military merits, you have reversed right and wrong, how do you know that you are in the hands of others?" ”
No matter how hoarsely Captain Kang tried his best to persuade them, this group of "hungry tigers and jackals" was unheard. Liu Qingmei and Liu Youyao glanced at each other, both sighing heavily, they clearly saw that the hearts of this group of soldiers had completely turned black just now, and they could never go back.
The righteousness of the family and country in the past seemed to them to be nothing more than vain. Only by killing these three people can we seek more benefits, and in Cao Zhiji and He Taihu, we can seek more benefits.
Don't they know that Cao Zhihalberd wants to rebel? Of course they do. It's just that who will be the history of this thorn? Who's at the helm? It doesn't matter who leads the troops, all they want is better interests than others in this troubled world.
Perhaps when they learned that Cao Zhiji was going to rebel, they still had a trace of concern. But when he saw Captain Kang inserting the horizontal knife into the chest of his "brother", he woke up completely. To live, to live better, who is in the way?
But they miscalculated one thing, that is, these three people are as fierce as tigers, and wolves cannot be bullied. Liu Qingmei and Liu Youqiao joined the battle after looking at each other and sighing, and they wanted to protect Captain Kang, so that they could seek more chances of victory for the next step.
If Liu Qingmei wants to recapture Qingxia Town, he can only kill He Taihu. At this time, the situation in the city is unknown, and if Captain Kang is folded here, I am afraid that the next road will be even more difficult. Captain Kang, who was already in danger, gradually turned the tide of the battle after the two joined the battle, forcing the soldiers to retreat one after another.
The soldiers wanted to besiege and kill the three people, but they were beaten by the three and lost their armor and fled in a hurry. At this time, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and he said: "Give you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and immediately follow us into the city to kill the thief, who can cut off the head of the thief, the official will be promoted to the third level, and the reward will be a thousand taels of silver." Do you understand? ”
A group of soldiers weeping bitterly were reluctant. When he heard that he was rewarded with the "third level of official promotion", he wiped off all the filth on his face, got up and looked at Liu Qingmei, his eyes were blazing. And when I heard about the "reward of a thousand taels of silver", I was even more energetic.
began to rush towards the north gate, trying to use crowd tactics to push open the gate. Liu Youyao lowered his arms and knees, his eyes were cold, he stepped forward in a few steps to pick up a group of soldiers, rushed forward with his feet, and pushed his arms to the door. Under the combined pressure of impact and great force, a crack was opened in the closed gate.
Where there is a gap, there is hope, and the rest of the soldiers naturally understand. rushed up, and pushed the north gate open in no half an hour. Liu Qingmei glanced at Kang Junli, who nodded, and the three of them passed through the group of soldiers and walked into the city of Huaiyoufu.
After stepping through the north gate, the three of them had a sense of foreboding. The city was silent at this time, except for the noise of the bustling noise on the high platform of the city. Kang Junli secretly screamed badly, turned around and raised his arm to drink, "Follow me." So he led the crowd and hurried away to the high platform.
In such a short period of incense, Cao Zhiji has led the crowd to the high platform in the city, which is the mansion of He Taihu. It's just that the hustle and bustle at this time is not the sound of slashing and slashing, but the appearance of drunken vassals and warriors, revealing their true nature.
He Taihu had already seen Cao Dingjun under the high stage, but he didn't expect that it would be this person, and he would come so quickly. After a quick glance, he didn't see Kang Junli's figure, and He Taihu was a little indifferent.
At this time, the laughter and laughter of the wine pond and meat forest behind him contradicted the scene of slaughter under the high platform, and He Taihu was caught in the middle, in a dilemma. He was ready for tonight, with the intention of killing half of the group behind him and leaving half of them, and now it seemed that it was up to their luck to survive.
And his guards who were ambushed in the mansion were already in full battle at this time, waiting for He Taihu to throw a cup.
At this time, on the high platform, the lights are bright, and the aroma of wine and meat permeates the inner hall. Across the door, a dying old man surveyed the ground beneath his feet and the inky distance. With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he stood with his hands in his hands, although his back was a little rickety, but he still had the demeanor of the year.
The high platform where you step on it stretches outward abruptly, covering the scenery in the courtyard. He raised his hand on the railing, and looked down at the people who had been standing outside the house for a long time, hidden in the darkness. The first person raised his sword and pointed it to the sky, but it did not fall.
His eyes were full of **, and he was looking up at the prime minister. And when He Taihu on the high platform looked at Cao Zhiji's halberd outside the mansion, suddenly the night wind rose, blowing away the past, leaving a silence. They don't have any feelings directly, it's just a buying and selling relationship with money.
Thinking about it this way, He Taihu also felt that it was right, but he was a little sorry for Kang Junli. And Cao Zhiji's reason is simpler and pureer, you are old!
When Cao Zhi's strange long sword was cut down in the air, the wine glass in He Taihu's hand was also thrown out of the high platform. With a perfect arc, it fell into the inner courtyard and shattered. Cao Zhiji had an ominous premonition at this time, but the arrow had to be fired, he kicked open the door of the mansion and rushed in.
After that, the soldiers rushed in, and the soldiers of He Gong, who were hidden in the courtyard, also drew their swords, and the two sides met, and they were about to break out.
Kang Junli, who was always late, had turned the noise in his ears into slashing and wailing, so he didn't think about it anymore, and quickened his pace and ran towards the high platform. He Taihu, who was standing on it, still looked at everything indifferently. Because he knew that Cao Zhiji was just part of his plan, and the show had just begun.
