Chapter 112: Trouble
The desire to survive is the strongest of all desires, in the face of Liu Ruyan's ruthless character, the intelligent master is really scared, since the county lords have rebelled, what reason do they have to stick to it, besides, he is not a Xixia himself, and there is no reason to be martyred for Xixia.
"Well, since the county lord has said so, then the old man will not insist." The intelligent master finally confessed, and there were thirty-seven monks in the entire Gangji Temple who were Western Xia spies, but this was not a branch of Yuntang, just an information relay agency, because it was the most convenient place to transmit information.
Liu Ruyan's heart is ruthless, it is famous in the capital, but it is just a rumor, no one has seen it with their own eyes, the intelligent master who was beaten all over the ground to find teeth today can be regarded as knowing what it means to be tormented, this guy has no place on his body that does not hurt, in this case it is a hell not to confess.
Yuntang's three rudders in Jingzhao Mansion, one in Taiyi Palace in Chang'an County, one in Wanshou County's Thatched Cottage, and the third in the city's Eight Immortal Nunnery, it is obvious that these three places have not been searched at all.
The Western Xia spies led by the intelligent master were not executed, but they were temporarily locked up, and they could only decide to stay after contacting Li Renzhong, the king of Pu in the future.
Liu Zhenglong said to Bao Xu: "Those three places are all dead soldiers, it can be said that they are all outlaws, and they may not be left alive, but the information must be brought back, so you can go down and arrange it." ”
Since Yunxiang is the daughter of Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, Liu Zhenglong has also adjusted his thinking about Western Xia, he is not a loyal minister of the Great Song Dynasty, he is a super bully of the Great Song Dynasty, everything he does is for his own ambition and hegemony, and it can be said that he has no half-dime relationship with the official family of the Great Song Dynasty.
It's not that Liu Zhenglong is unpatriotic, it's not that he doesn't think about the common people in the world, it's just that he doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of Di Qing, the god of war in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he doesn't want to learn from Yue Fei's tragic death in the Storm Pavilion. He is the super bully of the Great Song Dynasty, who wants to occupy the Zhao family, and maybe the emperor of the Zhao family.
On the way back from the Gangji Temple, Li Yunluo was a little depressed, after all, she betrayed her father, and she really didn't know how to face her father in the future.
Liu Zhenglong hugged Li Yunluo in his arms and said very gently: "Baby, it's okay, after the matter is dealt with here, I will personally go to Xingqing Mansion to meet my father-in-law." ”
This father-in-law made Li Yunluo feel overjoyed when he heard it, since his men said so, it means that it is not empty talk to assist his father to ascend the throne. Excited, she snuggled in Liu Zhenglong's arms, although she didn't speak, but her affectionate eyes had already explained the problem.
"When you're pregnant, we'll go." Liu Zhenglong knew that if he wanted to solve the problem of Western Xia, he must not take the ordinary road, and the military elimination of Western Xia was not necessarily a good move, and he must know that once he was mired in the quagmire of the Western Front War, then the Northern Expedition War would have nothing to do with him, and he must know that if Tong Guan was in charge, he would not only lose power and humiliate the country, but also drag the Great Song Dynasty into the abyss of no return.
Liu Zhenglong, who has always admired the Three Kingdoms, has a bold and terrifying idea in his heart, but he can't say it to the outside world. And this idea is getting stronger and stronger, but before that, you must firmly control Jingzhao Mansion, otherwise the backyard fire will be a big trouble.
The current Jingzhao Mansion is even a three-legged stand, with the Taishi Cai Jing, the prefect Wang Boyan supported by the cardinal minister Tong Guan, and the prince's brother-in-law Jingzhao Mansion stayed behind Zhu Xiaosun to stay in Jingzhao Mansion and entered Jingzhao Mansion strongly, which has a lot of influence. Tongzhi Li Jin is the largest snake in Jingzhao Mansion, and he has been working hard for many years, so he is definitely a strong faction. Yongxing Army's path has always been low-key and terrible, so that Liu Zhenglong, as the third pole of the three-legged tripod, is inconspicuous, after all, he has no right to control the government affairs of Jingzhao Mansion, and it is difficult to control the overall situation for a while.
In order to reverse the unfavorable situation, Liu Zhenglong decided to go back to Beijing in person. You must know that as a three-way defense envoy, he is absolutely not allowed to return to Beijing without a holy decree, and if he doesn't do well, he will be impeached by the imperial history, which is why he insists on sweeping the Western Xia intelligence agency.
Bao Xu didn't know that the eldest brother was going back, and he couldn't care so much, after this guy left the Gangji Temple, he directly summoned Yu Baosi, Jiao Ting and others to discuss how to break the three rudders of Yuntang.
Jiao Ting has always been ruthless and doesn't talk much, this guy said angrily: "Isn't it okay to rush in directly, kill a fine light, and then search out the information?" ”
"Confused, those Western Xia spies hiding places are all places where they are not allowed to be searched without clear evidence, how can they go in and kill people?" It was Yan Shun who spoke, this guy's kung fu was ordinary, but he was quick to react and witty, he said thoughtfully: "We should grab a tongue and ask clearly, and then go in at night to arrest people and get information, as for killing, it is a small matter, if the information is lost, then it is equivalent to the failure of the mission." ”
The seemingly simple task suddenly became complicated, which was obviously beyond Bao Xu's expectations, but after all, this guy was the king of the mountain and had seen the world, so he quickly sorted out his thoughts and knew how to deal with it.
After making up his mind, Bao Xu said: "Xue Yong and I will take a team to Taiyi Palace in Chang'an County, Yu Baosi and Yan Shun will go to the grass hall in Wanshou County, and Jiao Ting and Shi Yong will go to the Eight Immortals Nunnery outside the East Gate." Try not to startle the snake, if you leak your whereabouts, you will directly set fire to it, and no one will be left. This matter has nothing to do with Lord Liu, it is my personal behavior, let's take action. ”
The destruction of corpses and traces is obviously detrimental to Tiande, if it is transmitted to the imperial history, it will be a big trouble, so Bao Xu, as the deputy commander of the Long Xiang Army, took the initiative to take responsibility, and this matter has nothing to do with Liu Zhenglong.
Of these three strongholds, the most difficult one is the one in the Eight Immortal Nunnery, you must know that the incense of the Eight Immortal Nunnery is very vigorous, people come and go every day, and the personnel are intricately enough, it can be said that the fish and dragons are mixed places, and if you want to get rid of the Western Xia intelligence stronghold unknowingly, the difficulty is quite large, so Bao Xu chose to send Shi Yong, who is steady.
General Shi Yong has the style of a general, mature and stable. He attached great importance to this operation, and this time he and Jiao Tingbing were divided into two routes, one on the periphery and the other in to investigate, so as to avoid startling the snake as much as possible.
Shi Yong, who disguised himself as a wealthy merchant, set off early with two entourages in an ox cart, and this guy said to his two subordinates in the car: "This time, you two try to pretend to be very arrogant and domineering, and do it when you should do it, so that the group of Xixia people can't figure out the routine, remember, if you give each other a slight injury, don't do it painlessly, that will not be good for us." Don't kill anyone, or it won't end well. ”
"Understood." Entourage Zhang San, Li Si These two guys are very happy, what a cool task it is to beat people, and you can also get rewards for beating people, this kind of task can be met but not sought Since it is on the stall, the two guys are very excited.
The Eight Immortals Nunnery is located in the three miles outside the east gate, surrounded by vendors, people come and go, the ox cart really becomes an ox cart at this time, slower than walking, in this case, Shi Yong does not want to take the car, and decides to walk to the Eight Immortals Nunnery.
When he walked into the Eight Immortals Nunnery, Shi Yong said to Zhang San: "Go buy some incense, buy more, talk horizontally, don't be polite if you can do it, remember that you are rich, not a scoundrel, you know." ”
"Got it."
As soon as Zhang San waved his hand, Li Si followed, and as soon as the two of them went up, they drove those pilgrims away, and they were still scolding in their mouths.
As soon as the little Taoist priest saw that people were driving away pilgrims, he said angrily: "Who are you, how can you drive others away? ”
"Our general Shi wants to put on incense, and this group of guys is in front of the eyes, let's say, how much is your most expensive incense, Lao Tzu has money." Zhang San's face was disdainful, this guy pointed to the little Taoist priest and said: "Our general and Song Shenxian have a relationship, you better be polite." ”
"If you have a relationship with Song Shenxian, you can blow it."
Before the little Taoist priest's words fell, Li Si's slap slapped him heavily, and this slap knocked out the little Taoist's two molars, and there was a blood-red palm print on the white face, and the blood immediately flowed down.
"You, woo, how can you hit someone?"
"What's wrong with you, Song Immortal will give our family General Shi face, what are you, if you chirp crookedly, Lao Tzu will break your third leg."
Zhang San's face sank, he took out a piece of silver and threw it into the arms of the little Taoist priest and said: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and prepare incense, and then ink, Lao Tzu's fist doesn't recognize people." ”
The little Taoist priest was afraid of being beaten, for fear of being beaten again, and after putting away the silver, he handed a large bundle of sandalwood to Zhang San, and ran towards the Eight Immortals Nunnery.
This scene was seen by a handsome scholar in white clothes not far away, he shook his head and did not speak, but his eyes finally fell on Shi Yong, the general of Shi.
Shi Yong was very satisfied with Zhang San and Li Si's performance, he said with a smile: "Yes, it depends on who will be the first to come out and show up. ”
The master of intelligence doesn't know who Song Shenxian is, whether he is a man or a woman, a teenager, or an old man, the only thing he knows is that this person is the head of the rudder in Yuntang, in this case, he can't rush in, otherwise he will start to do it, which will cause all kinds of uncontrollable factors.
Sure enough, more than a dozen Taoist priests came out, each with weapons in their hands, but it seemed that there should be no leader, all of them were a group of small minions.
The little Taoist priest pointed at Li Si and said, "Senior brother, it was this bastard who knocked out my two molars. ”
The fierce Taoist priest in the lead said viciously: "Who are you, do you know what kind of place this is, how dare you come here to spread wild." ”
"Our general and Song Shenxian are friends, and this little Taoist dares to be arrogant and presumptuous. Lao Tzu just taught him a lesson, why are you also loose, let Lao Tzu loosen the bones for you. Li Si knew that there would be no Song Immortal in this group of people, and only if this group of bastards was knocked down, then Song Immortal would show his head.
"As long as you also accompany and Song Shenxian to be friends, come on, brothers, beat these two bastards all over the ground looking for teeth!"
This group of Taoist priests quickly surrounded Zhang San and Li Si in the middle, and the two sides fought.
Fighting, Zhang San and Li Si, but the famous fighting king, may admit it instantly when he meets a master, but if he faces ordinary people, the ferocity of these two guys is famous.
Zhang San has a nickname called the King of Bone Splitting, this guy studied in Shaolin Temple for a few years, everyone is basically unloading each other's arms, this trick is handy, the left hand grabbed the wrist of the little Taoist, the right hand pinched the opponent's armpit, and then lifted the arm of the little Taoist, the whole action was done in one go, without any action of dragging mud and water.
The little Taoist priest whose right arm was removed suddenly lost his combat effectiveness, and could only hide to the side and howl, this kind of howl made people feel creepy and shuddered, and frightened other little Taoist priests without the courage to fight.
If Zhang San, the king of bone splitting, just makes the enemy lose his combat effectiveness, then Li Si's iron rod hammer is the nightmare of the little Taoist, this guy has no kung fu, and his actions are slightly clumsy, but a pair of iron fists is ranked first in the Long Xiang Army, at least much heavier than the fist of General Shi Yong, and when a punch hits the body of the little Taoist, he will basically be beaten to the bone, that is the pain of breaking the muscles and bones, and the howl of the little Taoist is even more ugly.
Shi General Shi Yong acted as if nothing had happened, this guy watched with relish, but the white-clothed scholar who was watching the capital not far away kept shaking his head, but he didn't mean to help, he just shook his head.
These dozen or so Taoist priests were obviously not masters, and they were soon beaten and scattered in all directions. The group of guys ran and shouted at the same time, looking very embarrassed.
The white-clothed scholar finally ignored Shi Yong and a few others, he left quietly, this guy didn't know, his whereabouts had long been remembered by Shi Yong.
Shi Yong's intuition told him that this white-clothed scholar should be a woman dressed as a man, but he didn't know what the other party meant by paying attention to him, and he didn't know whether he was friend or foe, but he was not in the mood to pay attention to what the intentions of this guy dressed as a man were, because greater trouble had come, and he couldn't hide if he wanted to, so he could only fight hard.
This time it is obviously not like before, this time there are masters, Shi Yong knows that relying on Zhang San and Li Si can't do it, if he doesn't make a move, these two guys will definitely be beaten by the enemy all over the ground.
The fight lasted for a short time before it ended, but despite this, four or five of the beaten were incapacitated. However, the Taoist priest no longer attacked, the reason is very simple, their head, Song Shenxian appeared, as soon as this guy appeared, it was absolutely amazing, which made General Shi Yong stunned, and he didn't react for a while.
