Chapter 857: Thunder

Lutai Horse Post is located on the official road of Shanhaiwei to the south, which is the only way to go southeast of Liaoning. However, in this season of the Chinese New Year, Liaodong is cold and freezing, and there will naturally be no one on the road, and no one in the south will go to the north from this official road, so there are many officials in this past, and there are often people passing by the official road is deserted, and the post station should naturally be idle.

But now in this horse post, it is guarded layer by layer, as if facing a great enemy. The original post men and post guards had long been driven to the most remote courtyard and placed under house arrest, and they themselves were eager to hold their heads and pretend to be quails, begging their grandfather to tell their grandmother that they hoped that the soldiers and horses outside would forget them.

Who would have thought that it would be just a group of envoys from the north on a cold day, and that would be ...... A group of rebels who are holding the second prince hostage?

Fortunately, a group of rebels with the second prince occupied the best house, and the soldiers and horses from the capital, known as the Rui Cavalry Battalion, and the generals of Shanhailu set up camp tents nearby, which was obviously preparing for war! If this really starts, will they still have their lives?

In the outer camp tents, the people of Shanhaiwei belonged to Shanhaiwei, and the people of the Rui Cavalry Battalion belonged to the Rui Cavalry Battalion, however, the main generals who led the troops on both sides all handed over the command to the eunuch in the camp tent at the corner. Even if the person is just the steward of the Imperial Concubine Wan'an Palace, and the name is not right, everyone knows that the palm print of the former celebrant is a confidant of the Son of Heaven.

At this time, if you don't throw the responsibility to this person, do you still have to bear it? What are you kidding, it claims to have kidnapped the second prince, if that's true, and people are killed and injured when they attack it, do they still want the head on their neck?

So, at this time, the general of Shanhailu quietly came to the camp tent of the commander of the Ruicai battalion, and sighed with his heart and lungs, which was nothing more than a reason why he did not take people down on the spot when he was in Shanhaiwei - of course, he didn't know the second prince at all, and people were mixed up, even if he knew him, he wouldn't recognize him at all.

And the commander of the capital had to comfort his colleagues who couldn't be beaten by the eight poles, after all, they were all grasshoppers tied to a rope at this time. Just as they were sitting and sighing, the two of them suddenly heard a movement outside, and after looking at each other, they jumped up instantly. Sure enough, a voice came from the door the next moment: "General, Gonggong Chu is here." โ€

I already knew that it was Chu Kuan who came, and the two veterans who were considered first-class generals in the eyes of their subordinates all stood straight. Unlike the undisguised dislike of civil officials when they saw eunuchs, they were not at all shy about groveling in front of each other, especially if they could help themselves shoulder most of the responsibility.

And Chu Kuan, of course, is not a person who picks courtesies, and he has no interest in greetings, at this time, he came in and stood straightforwardly, and then said word by word: "The emperor's dictation." โ€

The Shanhai Road Staff General and the Rui Cavalry Battalion both commanded the envoy almost subconsciously stopped breathing. If it weren't for the fact that this dynasty didn't have the habit of kneeling at every turn, they would be afraid that they would have to kneel down at this time. But even so, when they heard the second half of Chu Kuan's words clearly, the two couldn't help but weaken their knees, and they almost didn't kneel on the ground.

"Attack immediately, don't scruple, don't worry about casualties."

Seeing that when Chu Kuan said this, his face was stiff, and he couldn't see any joy or anger, and the general of Shanhai Road could only bite the bullet and say: "When Gonggong Chu brought Cheng Dushuai over before, there was a holy order to take it immediately, but this is not because the second prince is among them, and I have to ...... it."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Kuan sneered and said, "In the emperor's words, the people who are killed or injured include the second prince. You don't need to say more, since the emperor has clear words, even if there is an uproar in the DPRK and China, and there is a lot of discussion among the people, I will bear all the responsibilities, and the two of you just listen to me! โ€

Seeing that Chu Kuan finished speaking, he left, and the Shanhai Road Staff General and the Rui Cavalry Battalion all commanded you to look at me, and finally couldn't help but wipe a handful of stinky sweat on his forehead almost at the same time, I don't know if it was hot or scared, and then followed out with a heart. At this time, thinking that the emperor was just giving an edict, and Chu Kuan's so-called responsibility was just talking, it was useless.

Of course, they can command their soldiers and horses not to listen to Chu Kuan, but at the moment, they really can't continue to drag it on!

The two of them were neatly draped, and then gathered the soldiers and horses under their command as quickly as possible, and when they saw Chu Kuan again, they saw that the people had also changed into a strong suit, but they didn't see the armor, but there were two bright swords in their hands, one long and one short, at first glance it seemed to be simple and unpretentious, but when you looked closely, it seemed to complement the sky that was gradually darkening at this time.

In just an instant, a bold idea came out of the heart of General Shanhailu - this kind of weapon naturally cannot be used on the battlefield, but if it is used for a strong attack in this kind of place, it is simply too suitable! No, to be more precise, this thing seems to be better suited for stabbing in the dark, right?

He hurriedly snorted to himself, forcing himself to quickly discard this strange thought. When he peeked at the commander of the sharp cavalry battalion on the side, he found that the other party was calm and relaxed, and he looked commonplace. How did he know that the well-informed commander in his mind was also desperately beating a small drum in his heart at this time.

Father-in-law Chu is planning to personally lead the team to attack? Are people masters? It seems that I heard that people also protected the Queen Mother during the Battle of Jingjing, and his martial arts should not be bad, but how many years have he been, has his martial arts never been put down?

But what is the use of this martial arts practice, is it really to do all kinds of secret things? But I don't seem to have heard of a minister in the DPRK who died violently, nor have I heard of a confidential document being stolen......

If Chu Kuan knew that he was dressed up like this at this time, he would make other people's thoughts crooked, then ...... He would still pretend that he didn't know anything and go on this trip. At this time, he glanced at everyone lightly, and saw that the generals of Shanhai Road and the commanders of the Rui Cavalry Battalion had expressions of obedience, but he only said a word lightly.

"Battle commander, you decide for yourself, I'll go in first."

Seeing that the people didn't say a word, they rushed over first, and the two were also quite qualified generals, so they were finally completely dumbfounded, and then they didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to follow. As for what strategy and what precedence...... It wasn't a day or two for them to set up a station around this station, and all the drawings and directions were already familiar to them, and the plan was done countless times.

If it weren't for the second prince, they would have attacked a long time ago!

The wall of the post station is only five feet high, for ordinary people, it is naturally like a moat, but for Chu Kuan, it is like a small ditch that can be jumped over, and it is not a problem at all. He fell into the courtyard like a bolt of lightning in an instant, and at the moment when he swept forward again, the two people who had been guarding the wall fell to the ground clutching their throats.

Although this movement was extremely fast and light, everyone in this courtyard knew that their heads were pinned to the waistband of their trousers, so the speed of their reaction was extremely fast. Just when Chu Kuan appeared, not knowing that the two people under the wall had been killed, a sharp whistle had already sounded, followed by a commotion in the room, followed by all kinds of arrows pouring out of the window.

At first glance, the angle looks haphazard, but if you look closely, you will find that it covers all directions, front, back, left and right, and almost covers all the ways of people to advance and retreat.

However, who is Chu Kuan? I think when he was a teenager, he once saved the Queen Mother in front of the assassins, and he has encountered all kinds of unknown crises over the years, and now he has not shown the long and short sword in front of people for many years, what danger is he afraid of?

When he calmly broke through from a rain of arrows and came to the door of the house, the four people who came forward to intercept him while the rain of arrows had turned into dead bodies. Immediately after, with a stroke of the long sword in his right hand, the thick curtain of the door fell, but it was followed by cold stars.

This cold star not only enveloped the area in front of the door, but even covered a large area on the left and right. But the man holding a steel cylinder inside didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and found that the outside was empty, where did half a figure come from. The next moment, he only heard a series of screams coming from the roof.

After the long and short sword directly killed the two people on the roof, Chu Kuan did not return again and broke in from the door, but kicked it with a heavy foot. After this blow, his whole body fell from the sky with a large number of broken tiles and other objects. What was supposed to be an obstacle had all become a means of attack for him.

However, for the people in the house, those broken bricks and tiles are just annoying, and the vicious secret weapons mixed in them are completely urging Yama. When Chu Kuan landed on the ground, he saw that there were only six people left in the room who could still stand and face him, and the rest were all on the ground, some could still wail, and some didn't even move at all.

Chu Kuan knew very well that there might really be dead and injured among them, but it was also very likely that there were fishing in troubled waters, just waiting to give him a hard blow while he was unprepared. But even so, he just glanced around, and then his gaze fell on the six people who were like great enemies.

I saw them standing with their backs to the wall, two in front, two holding the second prince who was pale at this time, and the remaining two were facing away from him, vigilant of the movement of the wall.

Apparently because he had fallen from the sky, they were also worried about whether the seemingly solid wall would be broken by a sledgehammer or something.

In this regard, he smiled coldly, and then said lightly: "The wall behind you is very safe, after all, you chose this place because it is against a small dirt slope behind it, unless this small dirt slope is blown up, it is impossible to kill it?" โ€

And Chu Kuan's calm and calm suddenly angered the man who was holding the ring head knife in his hand. He glared at Chu Kuan viciously, as if he wanted to swallow people, so his voice was naturally like a roar.

"Why? All we ask for is a proper title in the Ming Dynasty, and the second prince is also willing to follow us back to China as the king of China, why are you still so aggressive and ruthless? โ€

Seeing that the second prince's legs trembled like chaff under the hostage of people, and his lips squirmed for a while but he was not able to say a complete sentence, Chu Kuan suddenly laughed: "The king of Huaguo? Asking for a name? Hehe, a person with the status of the second prince is indeed very suitable for being pulled back to be a puppet......"

This time, the second prince, who was trembling in horror just now, finally couldn't help it at all. Anger completely overshadowed fear, especially in front of Chu Kuan, a former royal family slave, he couldn't suppress the anger that was already burning in his heart.

"That stinky little boy can enter the East Palace, our mother and son brothers have ended up like this, I even have to cross the ocean to other countries, what else do you want! My father and emperor have already told people in public that my son is dead, do I want to continue to stay in Daming without being a ghost or a ghost! If you attack me without regard for my life, I am not afraid that my father will blame you......"

"The emperor said, life and death don't matter."

Unhurriedly interrupted the words of the second prince, seeing that this former dragon son and phoenix grandson, or the so-called guys from Haidong Huaguo, everyone was as pale as earth, so he said with a smile: "The idea is good, I saved the second prince, and in the name of Emperor Taizu, I claimed to be from Haidong Huaguo, according to common sense, the emperor should really give you some face." โ€

"But you're wrong, this pirate's nature is hard to change!"

With this loud shout, his whole body rushed forward instantly, and the two generals who had just broken through the courtyard gate and the wall to the door of the house did not dare to look at the excitement anymore. Looking at it further, this group of so-called missions has all been solved by Gonggong Chu, so what are they doing here, did they come here to play soy sauce in this ice and snow?

However, the two rushed into the house one after the other, and then they were afraid of being hidden, a rolling gourd dodged to the side, and when they stood up straight and waited for the person behind to rush in to help, they happened to see the second prince fall to the ground softly, and there were several people around the person. Realizing that in just such a short period of time, the father-in-law of Chu had actually succeeded in one fell swoop, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

Of course, what is even more shocking is that the situation of the second prince is very bad!

Just when they were a little at a loss, they only heard Chu Kuan shouting without looking back: "Drag all these dead and injured guys out, move quickly, the second prince has a last word to confess!" โ€

Hearing this at first glance, whether it was Shanhaiwei or the soldiers of the Rui Cavalry Battalion, they were all scattered. There was hardly any explanation from their commander, and the soldiers who had just rushed in almost rushed forward and dragged people awayโ€”of course, they still had inherent caution, and they had to make up for them before dragging them away.

And after they retreated one after another, Chu Kuan looked at the second prince who had more breath and less breath: "What else do you have to say?" โ€
