Zhao Dangshi observed carefully, and noticed that Zuo Mengeng's expression was strange, and before he could ask, Zuo Mengeng stood up and said first: "Father-in-law, I feel uncomfortable in my abdomen, go outside to relieve myself." His voice trembled slightly.

"Okay." Zhao Dangshi nodded in agreement, turned his head to glance, and suddenly found that Hou Dagui was missing from the table, and his heart tightened. Looking at Zuo Mengeng again, he came out of the lobby, and Jin Shenghuan hurriedly got up and followed.

"Where's Lao Hou? Where did it go? Zhao Dangshi secretly felt that something was wrong, and Zhou Wenhe asked in a low voice.

Zhou Wenhe replied truthfully: "Soon after the banquet opened, there was no shadow, didn't he go to deal with military affairs?" ”

Zhao Dangshi's body was shocked, and he exhaled: "I'm afraid something will happen." Immediately ordered, "You take a few people to go out with me immediately, and let Lao Han take care of me first." After that, he got up and left, and now the seven or eight tables of civil and military people in the hall were eating, drinking, and laughing, and in the hustle and bustle, Zuo Mengeng and Zhao Dangshi's successive departures did not attract too much attention.

The sky outside was slightly rainy and crisp, and Zhao Dangshi didn't have time to put on a hat, so he walked directly across the horse and ordered: "Take me to Zuo Mengeng's post house." Zuo Mengeng is expected to stay in Suizhou for a night, and in addition to Zuo Mengeng and Jin Shenghuan participating in this banquet, the rest of the accompanying companions should be placed in other post houses.

Galloping for a moment, a group of soldiers and horses turned out at the crossing in front, and the leading officer saw Zhao Dangshi come forward to salute, it was Bai Wang, an officer in the Wuqi Battalion who was responsible for the defense of Suizhou City today, and the deputy military commander of Suizhou and other places.

"Have you seen Zuo Menggeng?" Zhao Dangshi pulled the reins and asked loudly.

Bai Wang nodded and said, "I just took a photo and went to the direction of the post house." The look is very hurried, and his subordinates are waiting to report to the lord! ”

"Follow me!" Zhao Dangshi didn't have time to say much, grabbed the horse's belly, and rushed out like an arrow off the string.

On the other hand, Zuo Mengeng crossed the horse and whipped up, and he had arrived at the post house. He jumped off his horse, grabbed the captain who greeted him, glared at him and asked, "Where are the people?" ”

"People?" The post chief was dumbfounded, and hurriedly said, "It's Hou...... Mr. Hou? In, in! ”

"Fuck you!"

Zuo Mengeng kicked over the post chief, and at this time, Zuo Mengeng's companion ran out and said, "The person is inside!" ”

"Let's go!" Zuo Mengeng beckoned, and five or six companions, including Jin Shenghuan, all drew their swords in their hands. Everyone ran wildly before entering the backyard, and the door of a wing room on the west side "creaked" open, and a disheveled man came out of it in a panic.

"Take it!" Zuo Menggeng's eyes were upside down, and he shouted loudly. When it was, the man raised his eyes and saw a group of people rushing towards him, and he was so shocked that he turned around and wanted to re-enter the chamber.

Jin Shenghuan jumped up, shouted "Where to go", kicked the man's leg, and grabbed the man's back with his left hand and dragged him out a few steps. The man covered his face with his hands and rolled on the ground, Zuo Mengeng led people to surround him, regardless of 3721, punched and kicked the man, and beat the man so that the man screamed and screamed.

"Beat Lao Tzu to death!"

Zuo Mengeng stuck a knife on the ground, his fists and feet did not stop, and it was the time to rise, and another person ran out of the wing room unexpectedly, and suddenly pounced on the man's body.

"Don't fight, don't fight!"

Everyone was surprised, and hurriedly withdrew their hands, Zuo Mengeng looked at it, and it was a seven-hole cigarette, and the woman in front of him who was crying and crying with a messy dress was not his fourth-room wife, Rao Liubo.

"You bitch!" Zuo Mengeng was angry, raised his right fist into the air, and finally slowly put it down.

Rao Liubo's eyes were teary, he looked up at him and said, "If you want to kill him, kill me first!" ”

Zuo Mengeng was so angry that he couldn't speak, Jin Shenghuan's face changed and he leaned close to his ear and said: "Son, this man ......" and looked carefully, although the man tried his best to hide his appearance, he could vaguely see that it was Hou Dagui, the heavy general of Zhao Ying, who had just taken a face.

"How could it be him!" Zuo Mengeng was dumbfounded, and couldn't understand how Rao Liubo could get involved with Hou Dagui in this short period of time.

Shang Zi was inexplicable, and Zhao Dangshi also rushed to the courtyard. In this situation, the situation was clear at a glance, and he stepped forward and said loudly: "Hou Guji, don't hide, get up!" Saying that, he gave Zhou Wenhe and Bai Wang a look, and then the two of them went up left and right, and helped Rao Liubo and Hou Dagui up.

Hou Dagui lowered his head and sighed, hanging his head and not daring to look at Zhao Dangshi, Zuo Mengeng squinted and saw that Rao Liubo's chest was loose because of the pulling, revealing a little bit of spring, and subconsciously reached out to help her caress it. The tears that didn't prevent the waves from dragging down the back of his hand like beads, and he couldn't help but feel soft again.

Jin Shenghuan sneered: "Zhao Shuai, what does this mean, how to explain it?" "Catch the traitor and catch the double, and the stolen goods are both captured, needless to say, everyone knows what happened.

Zhao Dangshi coughed lightly, stared at Hou Dagui with a face full of shame and said: "Hou Guerrilla has kindness to me and my sister-in-law, I haven't seen him for a long time, I think it's to recount the old friendship." ”

"Oh, the old friendship is all in bed? How much kindness is that? ”

When Zuo Mengeng heard this, he suddenly became angry again, raised his hand and slapped Rao Liubo, and scolded: "Shameless adulteress!" ”

Hou Dagui suddenly raised his head at this time and said: "Lord, one person does things and one person is responsible, it was I who broke into the post house and forced Liubo to do not do her business." She didn't comply, and I didn't take advantage of it! ”

Zhao Dangshi turned his eyes to Rao Liubo, but she was just crying with a whimper.

When the post chief heard the sound, he knelt on the ground when he saw this, trembling like chaff, and stammered: "The villain thinks, thinks that Manager Hou is here, is here for business...... Hou Dagui, as the lord of the first army in Suizhou, no one dares to stop him from going anywhere.

Zhao Dangshi frowned and said, "It's not your responsibility. Turning to observe Zuo Mengeng, he noticed that when he heard the words "resist death", he stared at Rao Liubo's eyes and thought: "This kid has a deep affection for Liubo, but he can use it." Otherwise, I can't end this basket today, which is not good for my follow-up arrangements. Thinking of this, his face was dark, and he pulled out his waist knife with a brush.

"Father-in-law, what are you doing here?" Zuo Mengeng was shocked.

Zhao Dangshi stepped forward with his sword, pretending to be angry and said: "Today should be a good day to celebrate and join hands with Zuo Gongzi, but unexpectedly, the family is unfortunate, and such a pickled ugly thing happened, which ruined the interest of the son, and also insulted my Zhao's reputation." What is the benefit of such incorruptible and shameless people, it is better to kill them one by one and end up happily! ”

As he spoke, he took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and winked at Hou Dagui, Hou Dagui understood, and said loudly: "The surname Hou has embarrassed the lord, and he is willing to bow to the law!" With that, he closed his eyes and lifted his neck.

"It's a man!"

Zhao Dangshi snorted and swung his knife to slash. In the midst of the lightning, Bai Wang and Zhou Wenhe jumped up and hugged his legs, and begged: "Hou Guerrilla has made outstanding achievements in warfare and has made great contributions to our army. Although there have been now, please remember the friendship in the past and spare his life! ”

Zhao Dangshi reprimanded: "This is not only a business matter in our army, but also a family matter of Zuo Gongzi." I can spare him, how can Zuo Gongzi spare him? Then he said solemnly to Zuo Menggeng, "The root cause of the matter is all from Zhao, Zhao is responsible for doing things alone, and it is not okay to compensate Zuo Gongzi by killing these two people!" Saying that, despite Bai and Zhou's strong pleas, they wanted to continue to do it.

Rao Liubo cried loudly, and shouted without a mouth: "Zuo Lang save the slave family!" ”

Zuo Mengeng was in a hurry, and was about to dissuade him, but Jin Shenghuan coughed behind him, making him stagnate. But at a short distance, in the face of Rao Liubo's sad face, he really couldn't be indifferent, hesitated for a moment, and still said loudly: "Father-in-law, forget it!" ”

Hou Dagui is a major general in Zhao Ying, and he can be Zhao Dangshi's humerus, if he is harmed because of this incident, even if Zhao Dangshi presides over justice for himself out of affection, but his heart may not be happy, and the officers in Zhao Ying's camp who are good friends with Hou Dagui will also hold a grudge, and he and Zhao Ying's Liangzi will be deeply married. And Rao Liubo is not to mention, not to mention that she forced Hou Dagui unsuccessfully, she is really stealing a man, and she is angry and angry, and she really doesn't want to hurt her at all. If Zhao Dangshi killed Hou Dagui and then killed Rao Liubo, wouldn't it be as uncomfortable for the two of them to have a companion on the Huangquan Road. So after thinking about it, I decided to settle the matter.

"Father-in-law, don't be angry. Isn't it that Liubo didn't make people dirty, I don't think it's that serious. Zuo Mengeng's words came out, and his eyes were red, "As for the affairs of the father-in-law's own army, the child is not involved." ”

Zhao Dangshi took a slap in his hand and asked Hou Dagui: "Do you dare to swear that you have not polluted other people's bodies?" ”

Hou Dagui was so alive that he couldn't catch it, nodded and said: "I haven't taken off my pants, Zuo Gongzi has brought someone here!" He hurriedly kowtowed a few times and said, "My subordinates know their mistakes and are willing to be punished, I just hope that the lord can keep his subordinates alive, and it is better to die in the future than to die under the lord's knife!" ”

When Bai Wang and Zhou Wenhe heard this, they echoed the plea together.

Zhao Dangshi stood in place and was silent for a long time, Fang slowly inserted the knife back into the scabbard, and said in a deep voice: "From today on, Hou Dagui is no longer the commander of the battalion, nor is he the commander of the army, and then he will be handed over to the Unified Inspection Institute for disposal." All affairs in the army are temporarily in charge of Bai Wang. Then he said to the people, "Do you understand that things must not be spread today?" ”

After giving such an order, Fang sighed and said to Zuo Menggeng: "Childe, is this feasible?" Liubo is here, it is the child's person, and the hair and fall are all the child's family affairs. ”

Zuo Mengeng nodded in agreement, and when he saw Rao Liubo, who was discolored, his anger gradually turned into pity, but he heard Zhao Dangshi continue: "The banquet ......"

Jin Shenghuan coughed a few more times, Zuo Mengeng's heart was like numbness, and he arched his hand and said: "I have met my father-in-law, I have eaten wine, and the military affairs are complicated, so I won't bother much." After cleaning up here, let's say goodbye first. ”

Zhao Dangshi nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll let the post chief help me out." ”

When the night completely fell, the south gate of Suizhou City opened, and Zuo Mengeng and the others left in a hurry. Zhao Dangshi stood on the city tower, looking at the bumpy carriage in the lights from a distance, and sighed with a frown.

Han Gon asked, "Lord, it won't be a bad thing for the old marquis to make this trouble, right?" ”

Zhao Dangshi lined up on the railing with one palm, and said unhappily: "This unfortunate thing is almost bad!" He is the head of an army, and he still can't control that donkey, how can I trust him? Just followed this opportunity to send him to the Unified Power Inspection Institute to reflect on it! Then he turned his back on his hand, "I gave Zuo Mengeng enough face, and I didn't break the plate." Zuo Mengeng is not sensible, and his subordinates are also sensible. For the sake of the public, he should not be rash. ”

"I'm afraid that he will have a bad heart, and he will not be able to support it in the future."

"This point still needs to be strengthened by Lao Pang. I hope Rao Liubo can still control this kid. Zhao Dangshi said meaningfully, "By the way, Lao Meng, you say hello, just talk about his sister-in-law's marriage, and let it go." ”

Han Gon pursed his lips and nodded.

More than 20 miles away from Suizhou City, the rain gradually became heavier at night, and Jin Shenghuan asked several times to find a village and town to rest overnight, but Zuo Mengeng refused. Zuo Mengeng's cold face seemed to have just been picked up from the ice cave, and no one dared to say a word to him except for official business.

After a night of rain, when they returned to Changgangling, the group was drenched in soup. Zuo Mengeng ignored the hard work, and ordered the whole army to go south immediately the next morning.

Jin Shenghuan knew that he was sad, and he was really afraid that he would be dizzy and affect the whole army, so he found Xu Yong and Lu Guangzu, and the three of them persuaded: "The military resources are not complete, and it rains heavily, and it is not a wise move to go south in a hurry!" ”

"Unwise? So what is the smart thing to do? Zuo Mengeng's face was exactly the same as the sky, "I have already decided to go south to Wuchang Mansion, one day earlier and one day later, what's the difference?" The more he spoke, the more angry he became, his lips trembled, "What the uncles said was right, and none of what I said was right?" Is this the reason? ”

"No, Childe misunderstood......"

"Another misunderstanding? What did I misunderstand me? If the uncles don't want to go south now, I'll take my companions and go by myself! ”

Jin Shenghuan glanced at the pouring rain outside the tent, very helpless, stepping on his feet, all wet. In this case, even if you get to Anlu County, the army is afraid that it will be scrapped. But although Zuo Mengeng is young and impulsive, after all, he is the commander of the army, he has really made up his mind, and as a general, he can't help but obey.

Zuo Mengeng saw that the three of them were silent, he was really impatient, and he was about to go out with his pocket in his arms. Xu Yong couldn't help it, and said: "Childe, it's better to leave one battalion of soldiers and horses here, guard the surroundings and continue to post food, and the other three battalions will go south immediately with Gongzi." ”

"Whatever you want!" Zuo Mengeng didn't bother to take care of him, and walked loudly.

Jin Shenghuan sighed at each other, and chased after him closely, but before he could get out of the tent, a person in front of him stumbled into the tent, and almost collided with Zuo Mengeng.

"Uncle Gao, have you hit a ghost?" Zuo Mengeng was already holding back the fire, and if Gao Jinku was so excited, it seemed that he was about to explode.

Gao Jinku ignored his offensive words, and said with a red face: "Peripheral military newspaper, Henan, Henan ......"

"What's going on in Henan?" Hearing the sensitive words, Jin Shenghuan and the others surrounded them at the same time and asked eagerly.

Gao Jinku swallowed and said: "Henan is defeated, defeated, Zuo Shuai...... The left marshal was greatly injured and had already retreated to Xinyang Prefecture......"

The words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and everyone present was stunned. Zuo Mengeng took two steps back in a trance, as if the last straw had been crushed, and suddenly sat on the ground and cried loudly.
