Chapter Ninety-Seven: Holding the Son of Heaven to Order the Princes

In the depths of winter in December, the Yuezhou soldiers and bandits led by Tan Aniu disguised themselves as rogues and began a multi-day inhumane burning, killing and looting in Xiabei County. In the midst of this cholera, the entire county of Xiabei has become a hell on earthβ€”corpses are strewn everywhere, and rivers of blood are flowing, which is shocking.

What's more, they threatened that there was no more "virgin" in Xiabei County, not only the people in the city were in trouble, but even Feng Tai's own nephew Feng Wen also suffered.

The money and jewelry accumulated over the years of corruption disappeared overnight, not to mention his own life.

Just when dozens of red-eyed soldiers and bandits took turns entering the house to loot, fortunately, a few soldiers who had not lost their minds recognized Feng Wen and immediately blocked the butcher's knife that was lying on Feng Wen's neck.

Feng Wen, who was lucky enough to pick up his life, was already frightened, and sat on the ground with a dead face, and could only watch this group of bandits act wantonly, burning, killing and looting in his own mansion.

In the midst of this wailing and screaming, several maids and concubines just ran past them in horror, and were slashed in the back by several soldiers and bandits who caught up, and the blood sprayed instantly splashed all over their bodies, and then the little maid, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, fell down in the laughter of the group of soldiers and banditsβ€”never woke up again.

Feng Wen, who had already been frightened, trembled violently all over his body, and immediately began to cry.

"You bastards who kill a thousand knives!"

Feng Wen, who witnessed the beastly nature, sat on the ground and cried, while his hands danced in the air like crazy.

But where can those soldiers and bandits care about him, they are busy attacking back and forth at the moment, chasing and intercepting the remaining maids and concubines.

This beastly tragedy that broke out in Feng Wen's mansion lasted for nearly three hours, and dozens of soldiers and bandits came in turn, all of whom wantonly plundered and raped as if they had entered a no-man's land amid Feng Wen's paralyzed wails.

This mansion, which has been carefully renovated by Feng Wen for many years, is now a mess.

And in the city just a door away, this terrible human tragedy lasted for three days and three nights.

Such a beastly nature that has lost its conscience and is difficult to write soon spread to the capital not far away.

"This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Xia Fan, this bastard, really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall!"

Feng Tai was already angry, and suddenly slammed his fist on the table, and the anger in his eyes frightened everyone even more.

Feng Tai slammed his fist on the table again, and scolded sharply, "Are you so dumb!" Saying that, he turned his head angrily and asked Zhou Shun, "The virtuous nephew often has a clever plan, why don't you speak today?" ”

Hearing Feng Tai ask himself again, Zhou Shun asked disapprovingly, "What does Shi Bo think Xia Fan intends to do?" ”

"Humph! Dogs can't change eating, they just want to make some benefits! Feng Tai gritted his back molars, clenched his fists and said, "This bastard thinks that he is pretending to be a rogue bandit, and Lao Tzu doesn't know that he did it!" ”

"What Shi Bo said is very true," Zhou Shun nodded, "But what we can all think of at once, how can Xia Fan not know?" ”

"What do you mean!" Feng Tai asked impatiently, "Now is not the time to pretend to be profound, if you have anything to say, say it directly!" ”

Zhou Shun glanced at Xiong Gu and the others in the hall, then at Feng Tai, and chuckled, "It's just that he is in a hurry, and he can't wait for a reply, so he wants to put pressure on us." ”

"my uncle!" As soon as he heard this, Feng Tai immediately shouted in annoyance, "Dare to break ground on Lao Tzu's head, he is tired of it!" Where is the tiger?! ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Xiaohu, who was guarding outside the house, immediately entered the house, knelt down in the hall and replied respectfully to Feng Tai, "The villain is here!" ”

"Go to the barracks and allocate 5,000 soldiers...... No! Feng Tai was a little incoherent with anger, and immediately changed his words, "Bring it all to Lao Tzu!" With you in command, be sure to cut off the head of Xia Fan's bastard to see me! ”

Lu Xiaohu did not hesitate at all, and immediately received the order to get up and leave, but was stopped by Tang Zhoushun loudly, "Shibo can't!" ”

"What are you doing!" Feng Tai shouted and scolded, his hideous face as if he was about to swallow Zhou Shun alive.

Zhou Shun stood up, bowed to Feng Tai and said, "Xia Fan has 350,000 troops and horses, but our Jingshi Yulin Army is only more than 10,000, how can we fight with such a disparity in strength?" ”

"You know what!" Feng Tai had already lost his mind, slapped his palm on the table, and reprimanded, "Feng Wen is my own nephew!" If I don't save him, who can save him! Xia Fan deceives people too much, if I don't repay such a shameful humiliation, how can I serve the public in the future! ”

Zhou Shun knew that Feng Tai would not give up on this, but he still stubbornly persuaded him, "Shibo will listen to me first, if you still feel that you should fight, the little nephew will never stop you!" ”

Feng Tai listened, first frowned and glanced at Zhou Shun, before slowly sitting down, his chest panting one after another.

"Shi Bo should know that the situation is now a dead end, and whoever makes the first move will fall into passivity. Xia Fan's move is to force Shibo to take the lead! ”

Feng Tai had already understood this, and immediately scolded, "So what? This guy insulted me so much, and this revenge is not revenge, how can I face the world! ”

"Why do we need to do it ourselves? I have a plan, but I can make this guy pay the price without blood! Zhou Shun immediately approached Feng Tai's ear and said in a low voice, "Could it be that Shibo has forgotten the fact that he dedicated He Ran's head to him in order to win him over?" ”

Feng Tai thought that he had some good plan, but when he heard him say that it was actually this matter, his face turned blood-red.

In order to kill He Ran, Feng Tai and Zhou Shun conspired and planned for many days, but no matter how Feng Tai designed to dig the pit, Zhou Shun always used the excuse to prevaricate, but he refused to do it himself. In the end, there was really no way, Feng Tai had to ask Lu Xiaohu to solve the matter.

Feng Tai has been haunted by this matter until now, but today he heard Zhou Shun talk about this matter, so he immediately became angry and asked angrily, "I remember it very clearly!" But so what? ”

Zhou Shun knew Feng Tai's resentment, but he could only pretend to be indifferent on his face, and then replied, "Although this person is dead, Bai Ang has never known about it!" might as well tell Bai Ang that the person who killed the general in his army was the Song State horse who was captured by him at the beginning - in the face of such a shameful humiliation, how could a high-minded and arrogant person like Bai Ang endure it? ”

When Feng Tai heard this, his anger calmed down slightly, "Although the plan is a good plan, I'm afraid that Bai Ang won't take the bait easily...... He's an old fox! ”

"What if Your Majesty means it?" Zhou Shun showed a hint of cunning and laughed in a low voice.

"What are you ......" Feng Tai was stunned in his heart, his eyes widened and asked, "Is it difficult for you to let the old man learn from Cao Mengde?" ”

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased somewhat, Zhou Shun sat down, crossed his legs and smiled slowly, "Your Majesty is not in Beijing, Shibo is not only Your Majesty's uncle, but also the auxiliary minister entrusted by the first emperor on his deathbed, so it is reasonable to stand up at this time to save the country from danger!" ”

These few simple words, but every word of them entered Feng Tai's heart. In particular, the meaning of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes" revealed between the lines made Feng Tai even more excited, and he forgot about the unpleasant things before.

Although his heart was as wild as ten thousand horses galloping, his face was as calm as water, and he said lightly, "But, what if Bai Ang doesn't show his name?" ”

Zhou Shun spied on Feng Tai's psychological changes, and couldn't help but smile and replied, "Isn't there still a Han Xiaozhi who has been put under house arrest by us?" Xu Feng reached an agreement with us before and agreed to let Han Xiaozhi stay in Beijing as a hostage. If Bai Ang dares not to show his kindness, let's let Nan Daying go to suppress the thieves! The two battalions in the east and south are fighting each other, isn't the good show of who killed the deer exactly what we have been looking forward to? ”

"Virtuous nephew......" Feng Tai suddenly showed a meaningful smile, stared at Zhou Shun tightly and asked, "Is Ling Zun also looking forward to this good show of the second battalion fighting in the east and south?" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Shun had a trace of embarrassment on his face, picked up the tea bowl on the table, and said with a smile while blowing the cold tea foam, "My father is already old, and he has long lost his original ambition......

Seeing this, Feng Tai smiled and turned his head to drink Lu Xiaohu, who had been kneeling to listen to the order, and said, "I will hand over a letter to you, and quickly go to Dongdaying to order Bai Ang to go to Xiabei County to beg for thieves!" ”

As he spoke, he turned around and went to the inner hall for a while, and handed the sealed letter to Lu Xiaohu, holding his hand tightly and saying, "This matter is urgent, and there is no room for a moment of slackness!" ”

Lu Xiaohu nodded heavily, and then grabbed the letter and walked out of the house.

Looking at his distant back, Zhou Shun suddenly chuckled and said, "Shibo, what do you think of this person?" ”

Feng Tai blurted out without thinking, "I have this son, and I have no regrets when I die!" ”

In the face of such supreme praise, Xiong Gu and others, who had not spoken for a long time, all seized the opportunity and opened their mouths to accept:

"This son should be like Lu Xiaohu!"

"Ho~" Zhou Shun faced the unanimous praise of everyone, but he seemed disdainful, and said coldly, "Shibo should still beware of this person!" ”

Feng Tai listened, and asked with some displeasure, "Hu'er still defected to me when he was a child, and after many years of careful training by me, he has today's majesty, although he is not a parent, but he is better than a parent, I don't know why the virtuous nephew said this?" ”

Zhou Shun smiled coldly, "Didn't Shi Bo forget that night when the assassin sneak attacked, this Lu Xiaohu could have killed him with one move, but he deliberately kept his hand until Zhou Ning sent someone to deliver the letter!" ”

After his reminder, Feng Tai also felt quite strange. For Lu Xiaohu, who has been cultivated for many years, he knows best what he can do.

In the duel with Gu Yuexi on the roof that night, Lu Xiaohu had many opportunities to put him to death, but he never made a killing move! In this way, don't really hide something from yourself......

But Zhou Shun's words of the turtle son can't be fully believed, he is very scheming, and the bad water in his stomach is unguardable!

Then, Feng Tai explained with a smile, "I treat Hu'er as kind as a mountain, and Hu'er knows how to repay his kindness very much-I am no different from him like Guan Gong and Guan Ping back then." Don't instigate the relationship between me and Hu'er's father and son! ”
