Chapter 294: Peeling Back the Cocoon
Thank you for your 18672397 and 57667704 for your support.
The typhoon is really coming to Shandong, it's a little scary...
~~~
"Loyalty, uncle, this ...... How so, how can this be? ”
In the big tent, looking at Xu Changqing, who was as paper-colored and weak as a face, Hengwang Zhu Youqi was in tears, hugging and crying with Yishui girl.
This is not a fraud.
After getting the news, Zhu Youdi and their people from Qingzhou rushed over in the afternoon, and Zhu Youdi hurriedly rode over.
The reason why he became friendly with Xu Changqing in the first place was to seek military allies and obtain asylum.
In the battle of the Central Plains, Xu Changqing defeated Li Zicheng, which also made Zhu Youdi extremely excited.
He was right!
However, who would have thought that Xu Changqing, who was in his prime, had not really bloomed his light, and actually capsized in the gutter of this Qingzhou territory......
After a while, Zhu Youdi was persuaded to leave the account, but he was already trembling, as if he had aged more than ten years all of a sudden.
The officials of Qingzhou Mansion were also silent.
They didn't even have the qualifications to express their stance at this time, and they had to wait until someone from the Yamen, the governor of Shandong, came. Not surprisingly, this time, Lord Futai may have to come in person.
Even, they heard that the mine supervisors and tax supervisors in the surrounding inner court were coming.
No way.
Xu Changqing's reputation is really too great, he is the real pillar of the country, I am afraid that in a few days, there will be even bigger big people in Beijing......
Night fell quietly.
The camp had expanded several times, and there were bonfires and figures everywhere, but it was wrapped in an indescribable atmosphere of slaughter.
A lot of people are whispering.
"Drive, drive!"
At this time, there was a sudden overwhelming sound of horses' hooves in the north, and the startled crowd looked sideways for a while, and in a moment, the soul was about to be scared away.
It was a dense group of cavalry, like a torrent of steel, and I am afraid that there must be at least more than 3,000 horses.
It was the Thousand Cavalry Corps led by Zhang Hu.
At this time, Xu Changqing even seized and purchased, plus the number of war horses brought by Liaodong, the number of war horses owned by the model army has exceeded 4,000, close to the scale of 5,000.
At this time, in addition to the war horses that maintained the necessary operation, Zhang Hu brought almost all the war horses that could be brought!
Although there are not too many truly excellent war horses, this kind of momentum is far from being able to be resisted by manpower.
"This, this is Uncle's cavalry. It's scary. Oh my God, if these cavalrymen were to be targeted, would that man still be alive? ”
"Hey, how did such a powerful person as Uncle Zhongyi capsize in our little gutter, it's really unfair."
"I heard that the main force over there in Haicheng will arrive soon, and there are tens of thousands of people."
"Who the hell assassinated the uncle, this person is going to be unlucky......
“……”
The crowd chattered and watched as the cavalry began to set up camp.
In the midst of this noise, several inconspicuous figures finally got together.
The leader is a middle-aged man with sharp-beaked monkey gills, and his old eyes are extremely clever, like a cunning mouse.
"Master Dou, it should be almost, our eldest lady has succeeded, this Xu Changqing, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive for a few days. Send a message to the helmsman. ”
"Yes, Master Dou, our brothers have had enough of this place where birds don't, and this mission is complete, it's time to go back and enjoy it."
"Hehe, Master Dou, what reward do you think the sect leader should give us this time? Let's make the famous loyal and righteous uncle Xu Changqing......"
Looking at the excited appearance of a few minions, this mouse-like bean master was also extremely excited, and stroked his goatee and said: "Since the news has been confirmed, I will send a message to the chief helm immediately." Don't worry, I know the thoughts of a few of your little cubs, this time, when this side is over, your benefits are indispensable, maybe, you can bring a few little girls out of the palace and give you joy. ”
"Hehe, thank you."
A few people took a look, and soon they were gathered into the flow of people again.
But what they didn't notice was that Wu Sanfu, who was as dark as a vulture, had already set his sights on them.
sub-hours.
There was a bleak autumn rain in the sky.
In the darkness, a carrier pigeon dyed black quietly took off from a small hill not far away, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
Wu Sanfu looked at the figure on the mountain, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Ten minutes later, this monkey-like dexterous figure came down the mountain, and just wanted to sneak back to the camp in the same way, but was pressed by Wu Sanfu and others!
In the blink of an eye, the figure was like a chicken, put into a sack and disappeared.
More than half an hour later, Wu Sanfu came to Xu Changqing's big tent like a ghost, "Dashuai, it's done!" You guessed it right, the people are now in Huaishu Lane, Qingzhou City! ”
Xu Changqing lay comfortably on the bed, and nodded slowly: "Sanfu, you can do this matter yourself!" Remember, don't worry, you must be foolproof, and you must not let go of a fish that slips through the net! ”
Wu Sanfu nodded heavily: "Dashuai, don't worry!" If you can't complete the task, Sanfu will come and see you! ”
Watching Wu Sanfu leave, Xu Changqing's eyes narrowed slightly, even if the sect leader of this turtle son was in Jining, or even hid in the Yansheng Mansion, this time, he would never want to run!
……
"Grow a long time, grow a long ......"
In the early morning, the morning sun is rising.
In the southeast of Qingzhou Fucheng, in an inconspicuous two-entry house in Huaishu Lane, a middle-aged man with a kind face and a little cowardly looked humming a little song and comfortably putting water in the thatched house.
After a while, a beautiful woman who was five or six points similar to Tang Yu and the little saint Su'er ran over quickly, and said in a low voice in a hurry: "The master, the family, the news has come, it's true, it's all true." Yu'er, Yu'er, she really stabbed Xu Changqing into a serious injury! Now, we can finally pay off the favor of the sect leader, right? ”
The cowardly middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then his spirit couldn't help but lift up, and he said excitedly: "Great, great!" I've been waiting for almost twenty years, and I'm finally waiting for today! ”
As he spoke, he hugged the middle-aged woman into his arms, "Cuilian, thank you, thank you so much." If it weren't for Yu'er, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get rid of the sect master's control in my life. ”
The middle-aged woman's tears also fell down, and she said with a crying voice: "It's not easy to be in charge, it's really not easy." However, what about Yu'er and Xu'er? I heard that they have fallen into the hands of the Model Army. ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly comforted: "Cuilian, don't worry about this matter. The husband will do his best to save people. Moreover, Yu'er has made such a great contribution, and the sect leader must not be willing to let her die in vain. Later, the sect leader rescued Yu'er and Xu'er, and Yu'er married the sect leader, so that we could enjoy the blessings in peace. ”
"In charge, Yu'er and Su'er are my life, you must let the sect leader save them......"
The woman threw herself into the arms of the middle-aged man.
But what she didn't notice was that the man she was holding was smiling cruelly at the corners of his mouth.
……
Midday.
The middle-aged man was resigned, carrying an inkstone paper and pen, and came to a teahouse not far from Huaishu Lane.
He drank a bowl of tea here every day, and then, set up his little stall at the door, and helped people write to make ends meet.
He has been here for more than a month, and many people know him, and they all smile and tease to greet him, but they don't have any good intentions.
Because of this useless waste, he didn't even have a bird's feather fame, just because he knew a few words, he actually married a beautiful wife.
"Huang Xiucai, where did you get the money to drink tea today, didn't you let your mother-in-law do the door half-closed?"
"Haha! Huang Xiucai, if your mother-in-law wants to start this business, you have to greet your Liu Ye, and your Liu Ye guarantees to give your mother-in-law a big red envelope! ”
"Master Liu, how can this matter be without me, haha, let's go together when the time comes."
As soon as the middle-aged man nicknamed 'Huang Xiucai' sat down, there was a malicious ridicule around him.
Huang Xiucai smiled wryly, cowardly and didn't dare to refute, but just ordered a big bowl of tea with Xiao Er.
"It's boring! Three slaps can't pull out a fart! Come on, let's get down to business, where did you just go? ”
"Master Liu, when it comes to Zhongyibo, it seems that he can't survive it for the past few days."
"Oops."
That Liu Ye sighed, pretending to be old-fashioned and pointing at the country: "To say, our loyal and righteous uncle is really a character!" The Tartars couldn't kill him, Li Zicheng asked him to chase after him like a chicken and a dog, but he didn't expect that he would fold in our Qingzhou. ”
"Who wouldn't say that. What a jealous talent. By the way, do you know who did this? ”
"I heard that it seems to be someone from the White Lotus Sect! I heard that Boxing has arrested a lot of people over there, and they are searching for spies from the White Lotus Sect. ”
"Hey, if you want to say that this White Lotus Sect is really not a good thing, it will make such a fuss every few years, and now, even Zhongyi Bo has fallen in love with their way, won't the court care?"
"Do you think the court doesn't want to take care of it......"
Seeing that Huang Xiucai was still cowering as before, everyone quickly lost interest and began to talk excitedly about today's hottest topic, about Xu Changqing.
Places like teahouses and brothels are always the most well-informed places.
For example, this teahouse, although it is not too high-end, but it is better in a good location, and it has been a long time, and most of the people who can mix here are some idlers with some property, including some retired officials, and various related households.
To put it bluntly, it is the gathering of snakes on the ground.
It doesn't seem to have much energy, but each one should not be underestimated, and sticking one is pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud.
Listening to the discussion of these people, a cold sneer appeared on the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth.
Just like the old saying: "The bird's nest knows the ambition of the bird? ”
How can these pieces of waste understand his mind?
"Boss, have a bowl of tea!"
Just as he was slowly sipping tea and listening to the braggadocio of these people, suddenly a sturdy and well-proportioned figure sat on his table in front of him.
Huang Xiucai hurriedly looked over and found that this was a calm young man who was a little gloomy, and he smiled kindly.
But at this time, he also found that there were several empty tables around, how could this gloomy young man sit next to him?
But before he could finish his thoughts, the young man suddenly smiled at him, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "Master Huang, I have admired the name for a long time." ”
"Boom!"
Huang Xiucai's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he had already found that something was wrong.
"Don't move!"
"Dare to move, Lao Tzu will kill you now!"
The young man was obviously a ruthless character, and before Huang Xiu could react, the handle of the knife was already on his waist.
Huang Xiucai's cold sweat instantly gushed out, swallowed his saliva, and said with difficulty: "This, this good man, you have something to say." Student, student, I'm a poor scholar, but I don't have much money. ”
The young man sneered, stood up, and shouted to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have made a small fortune today, all of you are heroes, today's tea money and pastry money, please so-and-so!" Just ask us Huang Xiucai to write a few words for a certain person. ”
As he spoke, he slapped two or three taels of silver on the table.
"Yo. This man is so arrogant! Thank you for your love. ”
"Haha, this master, although our Huang Xiucai is a waste, the handwriting is still good. If he dares not to write well for you, come to me when you come back, and I will clean him up! ”
There was a sudden sound of compliments around.
While smiling and arching his hand, the young man looked at Huang Xiucai condescendingly, "Master Huang, let's go!" ”
