Chapter II. 109
After sending away Mugel, who was thick on the outside and thin on the inside, Shen returned to Yan Qinghong's room. He clenched his hands full of pustus and crust, and put his head close to Yan Qinghong's ear:
"Brother promises, I have to go. At present, the three parties have reached a stalemate, and there will be no new changes for at least ten days. You can recuperate in peace at Sun's Hospital, and leave the rest to me. ”
Speaking of this, Shen Gui was just about to stand up, as if he remembered something again, and leaned back:
"I will ask Xiao Yi to take Princess Fengyang and my iron sister to live in the Shen Mansion temporarily. There is Liu Banxian to take care of the housekeeper's door, and it will be no problem to ensure that the two of them are thorough. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Yan Qinghong's reply, he stood up by himself, patted his body full of scars, and walked out of Sun's Medical Hall without saying a word.
At night, a group of "Shen Dang" gathered in the courtyard of Shen Mansion, most of these people were from reckless backgrounds, and their means of making a living were a little out of the table, but the complexity of the composition of the personnel made Shen Gui himself startled:
Now there are shamans led by He Wendao in the Shen Mansion, and there are people from the north and south led by Qi Hui; There are Xie Sangu, the bustard mother of the Green Willow Building, and Wujiangke, the storyteller of the Beiquan Tea Society; There is the owner of the "thief" - the livestock dealer Yu Liang'an, and the fishing leader Xiao Fu who takes the boat as his home. The most amazing thing is that even Li Le'an, the shopkeeper of the Huichun Medical Hall, Li Mansion, also stood with a smile beside Shan Qingquan, the "owner" of the Beiquan Tea Society, who wore a blurry soft sword at his waist.
In addition to these familiar faces, there were even a few sour and smelly Huazi, who kept shouting that they wanted to do their best for their "Shen Shao Gang Leader".
"Ladies and gentlemen...... I called everyone here this time, all because our Youbei Third Road has not been very peaceful recently, and there is also a dark tide in Fengjing City. At the moment, I have some unavoidable things to leave Beijing, at least ten days and more than one month. Most of the people standing here are heroes who are in charge of all walks of life in Fengjing City, and I, Shen, am young and inexperienced, so it is not my turn to speak, but as the saying goes, ......"
"Hah...... I said, can you just be direct? If you have anything to say, why do you need so much? Could it be that you let that kid from Yan Hunt pick up? ”
Liu Banxian, who was napping against the trunk of the tree, yawned and said with great dissatisfaction. Shen Gui was a little embarrassed when he was interrupted like this, but when he saw that everyone present also looked like 'it should have been like this', he was relieved in his heart:
Yes, these are all people who eat on the street, and there is really no need to say these beautiful scenes.
"Okay, then Shen will have something to say. Now our Youbei is attacked from both sides, if the battle starts, the iron cavalry of Mobei and the armor of Beiyan will soon be able to encircle and Fengjing. At that time, the people of the entire Youbei Third Road had no way to live. He Xuande's Yan family can't be broken, Shen can't control it, but this Fengjing City must not be broken, and this Youbei Third Road must not be broken! Shen also knows that you have countless brothers under you, counting on you to eat a full meal; Shen also knew that no matter what nationality the master employed, it was also silver and copper coins. But now, we are at least relying on our own ability to eat, and our waists are hard! The waist pole is hard, so that we, the pawns of the peddlers, can not bow to anyone. Since we are all people from the rivers and lakes, what we want to live are those days of leisure!
"But if the three roads of Youbei are completely destroyed one day, then you can only enjoy food according to other people's moods. What will we call it then? I tell you, call it a slave! A slave who is not even a cattle! The gold, silver, rice and noodles in your house will be snatched away by others, the water tank and iron pot in the kitchen will be smashed, and your wife and daughter will be wantonly humiliated; You no longer have a name, no more jobs, no more family and friends, and you will be branded with a lifelong follower, and that brand will represent two words - slave. Are you willing to live like this? Do you want to be someone else's slave? ”
Everyone present was silent, except for a little more anger in their expressions, and the breathing rate in their mouths and noses gradually increased, and the rise and fall of their chests became more obvious. Obviously, everyone was agitated by the second "danger of losing the country" in front of them, coupled with a few inflammatory words from Shen Gui.
Shen Gui stood on the stone table and was silent for half a pillar of incense, he slowly stared at everyone present with his solemn and enthusiastic gaze, and then changed to an extremely gentle tone and said softly:
"Soon, Shen will set off for the East Customs to personally pay tribute to the immortal souls of all the Youbei soldiers who died in that war twenty years ago! Twenty years ago, Yue Haishan has long since turned into dry bones in the grave; And the guards standing in front of the East Customs today are Pingbei Hou Guo Xiao and Guo Anshun! Pingbei Hou! Listen, what a good title this is! This title shows that the Heavenly Blessing Emperor of Beiyan has no intention of negotiating any result with my Youbei Third Road! So as far as I can tell, this battle is inevitable......"
Speaking of this, Shen Gui bent down and stretched out his hand to take a new crown from He Wendao's hand! This crown has two huge tiger teeth drooping from the eyebrows, and it looks extremely heroic. The style of this shaman's crown looks more like a general's helmet.
Shen Gui took the crown of tiger teeth and solemnly brought it to his head, and Fu Yi, the fourteen and six winter solstice people dressed in black behind him, also suddenly stood straight.
Shen Gui stroked the two tiger teeth hanging down from his forehead, and said loudly:
"I, Shen Gui, am the current Great Protector of the Shamanic Sect, and I am about to go to the Donghai Customs to appease the souls of the soldiers who died in battle twenty years ago. And the sacrificial thing is the head of the Pingbei Marquis - Guo Xiao and Guo Anshun. ”
After that, Shen Gui brushed his sleeves away in the exclamation of everyone present, and his momentum had reached its peak. He felt that with only a few words from Fang Cai, in the days that he left, there would be no big chaos in Fengjing City. As long as these people can temporarily maintain order in the city, then Yan Qinghong, who was seriously injured, will be safe. Without muddy waters, those who are waiting for an opportunity in the dark will naturally have no chance to fish.
Two days after the "Shen Party Conference was successfully held", Guo Xiao and Guo Anshun, the Marquis of Pingbei who was above the position of commander of the East Customs, got the news:
"Let's talk about it, right? Guo Laohu, the grandson of the common people, gathered a group of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods on the rivers and lakes, and made a grand wish to take the head of Benhou to pay tribute to the dead of those Youbei soldiers twenty years ago. ”
After saying that, he casually threw a secret letter into the lobby, but no one bent down to pick it up. A scribe-looking man next to him flashed out of the group, took two steps forward, and happened to step on the letterhead.
"Marquis of Pingbei, the student thinks that at this critical juncture of saber rattling, in this majestic and handsome hall, we and the others should not waste time on a few gossips from an arrogant child. Not to mention that he has neither a talent or a reputation in the world, nor a great military exploit to add to himself; At the moment, this kid doesn't even have a formal official position, could it be that he thinks that just by relying on some three-sect and nine-rate cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, he can treat my 150,000 Northern Expeditionary army in Beiyan as nothing? Forgive the student for being blunt, he doesn't even have the qualifications to become a fantasy when he says this! ”
After saying that, the scribe twisted the letter under his feet, and returned to the civil service team with great disdain.
Pingbei Marquis Guo Xiao listened to the scribe's words, and also shook his head and smiled. In his opinion, if this was said by Shen Gui's grandfather Guo Yunsong, it was quite possible. Although he has never met him face-to-face for a while, there is nothing in the fame, and he can accept any big words from that Taibai Feihu.
But as the master bookkeeper under his command said, this kid surnamed Shen is not a martial artist, and he is also a little-known second ancestor of the broken family in the north of his family. And that big to heaven words are indeed like drunken boasting, maybe I was really too careful this time.
"Well, since this surname is ...... The kid surnamed Shen is not worried, so let's talk about the black bear in Jincheng. Although our East Customs is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can be called the world's first male pass, but the terrain is as narrow as a gourd, no matter which side moves first, it will inevitably attract the opponent's rain of arrows that cover the sky and the sun. The old man had read all the battle reports of the Eastern Customs, but he had never come up with a subtle tactic that could avoid huge losses. Colleagues, what is the best way to teach Benhou? ”
Guo Xiao's problem has always been a major headache for the famous generals of Youbei and Beiyan. This eastern customs is a natural pass, the pass is surrounded by mountains, but on both sides is a horse and a flat river that can be defended without danger. If you look at the picture, it looks like a delicate hourglass; The East Customs is the narrow passage in the middle.
It can also be said that the two countries of Youbei and Beiyan, which side occupies the East Customs, will gain the initiative to start the war. And the beginning of the great war between the two countries over the years also happened here without exception.
At this time, another middle-aged bookkeeper with sharp cheeks and thin eyes stepped out of the ranks, and this single action made the somewhat dim and gloomy atmosphere in the hall look new.
"Back to the Hou Ye, the lower officials thought that the previous failures were all caused by the dereliction of duty of the then coach. There is a cloud in the art of war, so the army is strategic, and then the army is attacked, and the city is attacked. The successive commanders of the Eastern Customs were all born in martial arts, and they only knew how to fight bravely, but they didn't know the mysteries of the art of war......"
"Mr. Hara-mon Takami!"
Hearing his words, Guo Xiao, the Marquis of Pingbei, sat up straight, and prepared to listen to the teachings with a correct attitude. I am still secretly blaming myself in my heart, regretting that I shouldn't judge people by their appearance.
"Xia Guan thinks that the person who has blocked the advance of my Northern Yan army for many years is the commander of the Flying Bear Army, Yan Chongwu. However, although this Yan Chongwu is brave, he is just a vulgar martial artist after all. That's why this plan I offer is called divisive!"
"Oh? Ben Hou would like to hear about it! ”
"No matter how good this northern is, after all, it is also a wild place. We might as well send a secret historian to Jincheng with the handwritten letter of the Hou Ye, invite Yan Chongwu to lead the army to surrender to Cheng in front of the formation, and unite with my Beiyan army to take the thief chieftain's nest Fengjing! ”
After speaking, the sharp-eyed master of the army raised his chin high and looked around triumphantly.
When Guo Xiao heard this divisive plan, he was surprised to call the master book:
"What do you mean...... To Yan Chongwu, the commander of the Flying Bear Army, to bribe? ”
"Yes!"
The old marquis Guo Xiao nodded, and stretched out a finger outside the hall:
"Get out of here, go to the stable and clean up the war horse of the Marquis!"
