Chapter 667: Thorn

Let's vote for it!! )

Fu Yanchun and the others left, Chen Xiaoting quietly sent someone to follow him, and then he and Yan Jinsheng went down the city tower together.

"Lord Yan, don't you think all this is strange?" Chen Xiaoting stopped and asked.

Yan Jinsheng didn't understand what Chen Xiaoting meant, and looked at him suspiciously.

Many things are not clear for the time being, because Chen Xiaoting himself has not straightened out his heart.

But one thing is clear, now Luyang City's defense force is weaker.

"Lord Yan, Lu Yang's safety is very important, I think we need to send more troops to guard it!"

Hearing this, Yan Jinsheng explained: "Lord Chen, although there are only 1,000 defenders in Luyang City, there are still several thousand Hu Zhengwei outside the city......

Without waiting for Yan Jinsheng to finish speaking, he heard Chen Xiaoting say: "Hu Zhengwei looks unreliable now!" ”

Yan Jinsheng couldn't help but be stunned, and then Chen Xiaoting said again: "So Lord Yan, near Luyang...... You'll need to tune in some reliable defense! ”

What Chen Xiaoting said was clear enough, and under Yan Jinsheng's gaze, Chen Xiaoting left with more than 100 of his subordinates.

Seeing Chen Xiaoting and the others go away, Yan Jinsheng on the city tower looked solemn, and Chen Xiaoting's words sounded the alarm for him.

Lu Yang has an irreplaceable role in the stability of Yongxi, but Hu Zhengwei, who is responsible for complimenting Lu Yang full-time, now has a tendency to command...... Thinking of this, Yan Jinsheng felt a chill behind him.

"Your Excellency?"

When Yan Jinsheng was stunned, Zhao Mingfeng behind him called him and made him wake up from his contemplation.

At this time, wherever Yan Jinsheng looked, the soldiers gathered from the other gates slowly withdrew under the leadership of their own hundred households.

After restoring Shangguan's prestige, Yan Jinsheng said in a deep voice: "Mingfeng, why did you directly order the closure of the city?" ”

Yan Jinsheng's tone was calm and calm, so that Zhang Mingfeng couldn't spy on his attitude.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Mingfeng replied: "Back to my lord, that Wu Changfei is menacing, and all of them are holding weapons, remember your orders, let me be sure to protect the danger of Yongxi!" ”

"In order to prevent accidents, he ordered his subordinates to block the four gates and make claims...... Please punish you! Zhang Mingfeng couldn't help but kowtow.

Luyang is a provincial capital, and without asking for instructions, Zhang Mingfeng directly blocked the four gates, which is ultra vires.

Not only that, but he directly blocked the city gate like this, which also affected many people and things inside and outside the city, which is also not a small matter.

But at this time, Yan Jinsheng didn't think in this direction at all.

"Just in case...... Mingfeng, you have done a good job, be prepared for danger in times of peace...... This official is not as good as you! Yan Jinsheng sighed.

Thinking of what Chen Xiaoting said, Yan Jinsheng asked again: "You said that the garrison of Luyang City must not be too weak?" ”

This question is strange, hasn't Lu Yang been defending like this in recent years?

Since Yan Jinsheng asked, Zhang Mingfeng replied carefully: "Returning to my lordship, I don't dare to speak falsely!" ”

Walking slowly downstairs to the city tower, Yan Jinsheng continued: "To put it bluntly, I don't blame the official for saying the wrong thing!"

It stands to reason that Zhang Mingfeng's opinion should not be consulted on such a major event, and it can't stop Yan Jinsheng from going sideways on a whim.

Carefully followed, Zhang Mingfeng said cautiously at this time: "Lord Huiyu, now that this is a very difficult season, it is necessary to increase the number of troops directly under the capital division to garrison Luyang!" ”

"You have also seen it, Lord Fangcai, if there are enough people on the city wall, how can the lowly position easily order the four gates to be blocked!"

Although he didn't directly say whether he should or shouldn't, but the impulse was too little to say that the direct force of the capital division was too small, and he really moved Yan Jinsheng.

As the commander of the capital, although the guards below had to listen to orders, in fact, there were not many troops under his personal command.

Yan Jinsheng said "um", and then left directly, and in the end, he had to go back and discuss with his deputies how to operate.

Today on the city tower, Yan Jinsheng felt a great loss of face, and naturally did not want to stay here longer.

Calm was restored on the city tower, and Fu Yanchun and Wu Changfei walked at the front of the team at this time.

The others were all taken away by Fu Yanchun, and the loud sound of the army's march could ensure that no one could know what the two of them were talking about.

"My lord, I am incompetent!" Wu Changfei said with remorse.

Fu Yanchun didn't look back, but said in a deep voice: "Let you take the door, but you talk so much nonsense with Zhang Mingfeng, what do you mean?" ”

Hearing this, Wu Changfei really knew that if he didn't answer well, the consequences would be serious.

"My lord, it's not that he is not decisive, but that Zhang Mingfeng closed the city gate in advance, and he can't directly lead people to attack the city!"

They only brought the guys in their hands, but Luyang City has high walls and thick walls, and if you want to attack it, you must at least have a long ladder.

"Zhang Mingfeng, why does this guy dare to be so bold!" Fu Yanchun's tone was even colder.

Wu Changfei didn't answer, there was a gap between him and Zhang Mingfeng, and he must not say it at this time, otherwise he would be in trouble.

The scene became extremely dull, and Fu Yanchun originally wanted to reprimand Wu Changfei again, but in the end he also dispelled this idea.

It's not that he's merciful, but he thinks he's going to think about what to do next, after all, he's in the business of losing his head.

Time flies, two days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the time has come to the evening of the eighth day of the new year.

There is no doubt that Chen Xiaoting worked overtime in Qianhu Institute today, otherwise he would have gone back to pick up the child a long time ago, and now he does not dare to be idle at all.

The arson of Chang Ping has not progressed, and there are still many dens of the White Lotus Sect's rebels, and the external threat of the Golden Horde still exists......

Getting off the horse, Chen Xiaoting was about to step into the courtyard, but he heard someone shouting on the side: "My lord, my subordinates have an urgent report!" ”

The person who came was a man dressed in a short shirt, but Chen Xiaoting knew him, because this person was delivering news for Liu Baoquan.

Therefore, Yang Kai and the others also knew him, so they did not stop him and let him lean over.

"My lord, there is a clue about the arson of Chang Ping!"

The first words of this lieutenant made Chen Xiaoting's heart tighten, but he said quietly on the surface: "Say it!" ”

"My lord, the person who often closed the position and set the fire was done by Zheng Quan, one of the Holy Envoys of the White Lotus Sect in the Eight Directions!"

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting's heart was still calm, and it was not unusual for him to be the actions of the White Lotus Sect.

"Where did the news come from?" Chen Xiaoting asked.

"According to the White Lotus Sect Incense Society, it is said that this Zheng Quan is a newly promoted young holy envoy, so he will act so boldly!"

Chen Xiaoting nodded, the Holy Envoy of the White Lotus Sect is an absolute high-level, such a person must be extremely shrewd, and it is not a shame to be exploited by him.

"Go back and tell Liu Baoquan and let him dig out this person for me!" Chen Xiaoting said coldly.

was slapped in the face, and was even trampled on by Cao Yunchun and Zhang Jingping because of this, Chen Xiaoting will never be happy if he does not take revenge.

The captain who passed the message left, and Chen Xiaoting entered the mansion, and at this time he was ready for dinner.

Entering the inner house, Chen Xiaoting was taking the hot towel from Xu Youhui's hand, and before he could wipe it on his face, he heard another report from outside.

"Master, there are people outside who claim to be the person who guards the eunuch line, and he is outside at this time to ask to see him!" The butler respectfully said outside.

After wiping his hands with a towel, Chen Xiaoting sneered: "The people from Dongchang, what are they doing when they come up, is Cao Yunchun going to play any tricks?" ”

was placed together by Cao Yunchun and Zhang Jingping before, and Chen Xiaoting has always kept it in mind.

"Call him in!" Chen Xiaoting sat on the main seat, and then smiled at Xu Youhui on the side.

Xu Youhui naturally knew what was going on, and after a while, a black face walked in from outside, wearing a typical Dongchang fanzi attire.

"Master Chen, something is wrong!" The person who came knelt directly on the ground.

Seeing him like this, Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he still kept calm and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Lord Chen, our father-in-law Cao has been assassinated, please hurry up and take a look!" The black-faced man said with a panicked expression.

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting's heart set off an uproar.

Cao Yunchun was assassinated? This is simply a wave of unsettled, wave after wave, all messed up!
