Chapter 536: Hardships and the Past (I)
In fact, there is no end to the question, but ordinary people don't think about it deeply.
It wasn't until everyone dispersed that Qi Desheng, who stayed at the end, whispered suspiciously: "Eunuch, I always feel that this matter is still very strange. General Lin was able to receive such a warning note from Zengtou City, this thing looks abnormal, could this be a conspiracy trap? β
Sun Tu glanced at him, and then nodded: "I have also thought about your concerns, this matter is indeed unreasonable, according to reason, Zengtou City should be ironclad, and this matter is extremely fatal, it is impossible for the important people in it to know, why someone will tell him, and who will be the whistleblower......
"Exactly, so I always feel a little unsure, isn't this a trap that leads us to Lingzhou?" Qi Desheng said solemnly.
"It's a real possibility, but it's a big deal, and we'd rather believe it than not. Otherwise, the cost will be too great. However, we didn't just run into it without warning, and it was our intention to send people from the scout camp to investigate, and if we couldn't find anything out of the ordinary, I wouldn't risk the lives of my men. "Sun Tu actually had a plan for a long time, so he seemed to be in his chest.
Qi Desheng was also worried that he would underestimate the enemy's plan too much, but seeing that Sun Tu had already considered it, he didn't say anything more, and said at the moment: "In this case, then the humble position will be relieved." The only thing that is difficult to understand is that if the matter is true, why did Zeng Tou City collude with foreigners, then could it really be the Jurchen Jinren? β
"This can only be answered after the incident." Sun Tu frowned, got up and came to the topographic map of the entire city of Shandong behind him, his eyes only kept patrolling around Lingzhou, guessing where those guys would set their goals.

There are some things that the answer to is only known to the person themselves, not even to those closest to them.
Lingzhou, Zengtou City.
Although this Zengtou City is only a small town, its area is more than twice as large as that of ordinary towns, and the town is also surrounded by high walls, and even a moat many feet wide has been dug around the city. In a sense, this Zengtou City is a small city independent of Lingzhou.
If it weren't for Zeng Lane's close relationship with local officials, and even with the prefect Weng Changqing would be about to form a family of children, the government would never tolerate such a small city standing here, of course, this also has a lot to do with Zengtou City's own strong strength, there are already five hundred young soldiers here, plus Zeng Lane's five sons are all brave and fierce, as well as Shi Wengong and Su Ding, the two major sect heads, that is, the local officials and troops will attack with all their might, and in the end I am afraid that they can only return with a feather.
It can be said that Zengtou City is an extremely special force in Lingzhou, and it can almost compete with the government, and because of this, they can do both black and white, not only often send people out to do some robbery and murder without capital business, but also buy a field house in Lingzhou and nearby state capitals, open a shop, and truly make money every day.
In the eyes of ordinary people, such a local Haoqiang indulges in sex on weekdays, and there is nothing to worry about. But this is not the case, at least in these days, Zeng Rong, as the head of the family, is in a very bad mood, especially when he gets along with his third son Zeng Suo and his fifth son Zeng Sheng, his face is even more gloomy.
At this time, he was in the same room with these two sons, and the two sons' expressions when facing their father were not as obedient as usual, although the voice was not loud, but it was difficult to hide the irrepressible anger in it: "Father, my son really can't understand why we are doing such a thing!" Once the matter is revealed, they can dodge away, but what about our Zeng family? A huge family can't just leave if you want to, are you going to plunge my Zeng family and the whole family into the abyss of no return? β
"Presumptuous, is this what you should say as a son of man and as a father?" Seeing that Zeng Shengyue was talking more and more unlikely, Zeng Sheng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he immediately reprimanded: "I am the head of the family, the head of the family, since I have made a decision, I have my own reasons!" β
Seeing that his younger brother and father were staring at each other and making the atmosphere very stiff, Zeng Suo, who had always been steady and strategic, hurriedly persuaded him: "Fifth brother, what are you like, how can you be so disrespectful to your father?" My father is the head of my family, and since he has made a decision, he must have a reason. Don't make amends to your father yet! β
Zeng Sheng is the most obedient to his third brother, and he can be called obedient, but when he saw him speak, he could only obediently bow his head and admit his mistake. And after he made amends, Zeng Suocai spoke again: "Father, in fact, the fifth brother is also out of concern for my entire Zeng clan to talk so nonsense. You keep hiding it from us like this, it will only make your sons more uneasy, what is your trouble, can't you tell your sons? I believe that with the strength of my Zeng family in the local area, there is no obstacle that cannot be passed, how can I be held hostage by those people? β
was stared at and questioned by the two sons, and Zeng Lang's face was entangled again, but after a while, he still shook his head and said: "I can't tell you about this matter for the time being, you just need to do what you said before." As long as your hands and feet are clean enough this time, there will be no aftermath. β
"But ......" Zeng Suo still needs to be persuaded again, this fact is too big, this time it is not like the past to rob some property outside, even if the government really finds out something, they have a way to settle it, this time it is to communicate with the foreign clan, and assist them to seize a state capital city! This is equivalent to rebellion, a bad one, the end is the Zeng clan's head to the ground!
In fact, Zeng Suo is now tired of the capitalless business he does, and he has persuaded his father many times before to wash his hands as soon as possible, and only be a legitimate businessman in the future. However, the other brothers did not agree, so they gave up. But I didn't expect my father to intensify this time and want to do such a thing that is very likely to destroy the family and destroy the family.
But before he could persuade him again, the closed door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and a big man walked in swaggeringly as if no one was around.
Seeing this strong man who was dressed not much different from everyone else, but had a slender whip on the back of his head, Zeng Suo's brows furrowed, and he immediately reprimanded: "Although you Jurchens are outsiders who do not understand etiquette, you should also know to ask before entering the door and knock on the door, right?" β
Zeng Sheng glared at the other party even more angrily, his hands were clenched into fists, looking like he might rush over and make a move with him at any time.
The other party just grinned, glanced at Zeng Rong, who looked nervous, and said hoarsely: "What kind of whispers did I say when your father and son hid in this room, it turned out that they wanted to change their minds behind our backs." Zeng Lang, do you want to regret it? β
Just his glance made the lord of Zengtou City, who had always been feared by the local people, turn pale with fright, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, Hua Mo, don't be suspicious, since I promised you, there is no possibility of repentance." β
"Hey, forgive me for not daring." This Jurchen named Hua Mo glanced at the two brothers again, and when he saw that they were still staring at him with resentment, he shook his head and said, "But Zeng Lang, you are still too procrastinating, didn't I tell you not to hide it from your sons?" For such a big event, they must know what they are fighting for before they are willing to do their best. β
Zeng Rong just wanted to say something, but the other party had already raised his hand domineeringly to stop him, and then looked at the two brothers who might go berserk at any time and said, "Don't you just wonder why your father is willing to be used by us?" Since he refuses to say it, let me tell you, because he is my Jurchen clan, and everything you have now is given by our people! β
"What?"
"It can't be!"
The two brothers, Zeng Suo and Zeng Sheng, were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then shouted extremely excitedly. Although they want answers, they still can't accept such a ridiculous explanation! Since they were sensible, they only knew that they were from the Lingzhou Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty, so why did they suddenly become Jurchens?
But when they looked at their father, they found that Zeng Rong's face had changed several times, but he didn't deny it at all, obviously acquiescing to this statement.
Hua Mo smiled: "Zeng Rong, it's not a good thing to hide this kind of thing for too long and too strictly." I warned you before that your sons will be useful in the future, and you should have let them know who they are and what they are going to fight for, but you have been dragging it out, and now you know the consequences, right? β
After a pause, he looked at Zeng Suo and the others again: "You don't want to think about it, how could your father quickly gain a foothold here when he first came to Lingzhou decades ago?" It's not because our clansmen secretly helped him eradicate the enemy, and even helped him kill a lot of local officials, so that everyone else was frightened, so that he acquiesced to build a city and town here, so you have Zengtou City! So in the final analysis, you have today, all of them are given by us, and today is just for you to make a small effort, so you dare to shirk it, is it true that our people dare not attack you? At the end of the words, there was already a surge of killing intent.
Although Zeng Suo and the others were not afraid, Zeng Rong panicked, and hurriedly said: "Hua Mo, please don't have the same knowledge as them, since I have already accepted this matter, there is no reason to regret it." Before, they only didn't know the inside story to have this idea, but now that they know about it, they will definitely cooperate with you sincerely to take the city as soon as possible. β
Seeing that he said this, Hua Mo put away the intimidating momentum on his body, nodded and said, "That's good." But we can't wait too long, within half a month, we will enter the city, you have to get everything done. β
"Yes, yes, I understand." Zeng Lang nodded vigorously, and he didn't look like a local tycoon. It wasn't until he left satisfied, that he let out a long sigh of relief and sat back down, and then he found that his two sons were still staring at him......

Until now, I can't believe it's true, the basketball superstar who has brought us so many excitement and joy, who has only been retired for a few years and is about to enter the Hall of Fame this year. Bryant actually ......
As a passer-by who has been a Kobe Bryant fan for more than ten years, he is still in a trance until this moment, and he always feels that this is a ridiculous dream, and he planned to break it todayγγγγγ
But thinking of his mamba spirit, thinking of his hard work for many years, and having the five crowns in hand, honors, etc., the only thing I can do as a fan of him is to pay tribute and learnγγγγγγ
To be honest, in the past two years, I have seen too many familiar and strange people keep leaving, and the impact of the death of the former Annuity hero is comparable to today, but he is old enough after all, but Kobe Bryant has just started the next chapter of his life.
Confusion in my heart, I don't know what to do, Kemi Road's people, stay γγγγγγ
