Chapter 270: Fighting Poison with Poison
"Lord Li, such a guy, seeing that the adult has agreed to go to the banquet, and he will not go to Weihaiwei soon, he is full of joy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The messenger who went to Weihaiwei to deliver the news, after returning to Dengzhou City, knelt down to Li Xiao with a smile on his face.
After Li Xiao heard the news that this messenger pretended to be a capable member of the Security Department came to report the news, his face was as calm as water, and then he let out a long sigh.
Then, Li Xiao waved his hand and asked the envoy to retreat first.
"Huang Bao, why are you saying that the hearts of the people in this world are unpredictable." Li Xiao looked out the window, but his face was full of regret: "Ben Bo wanted to be lenient and benevolent, in order to be at peace with each other, but I didn't expect that these birds were so vicious and vicious, and they would definitely kill themselves, so what could I do." ”
On a chair beside him, Huang Bao, who had been promoted to the head of security, had a strange smile on his face.
He arched his hand to Li Xiao and replied: "Lord Li, these commanders of the guard post are all local snakes, and they only want to keep their land and power in the guard station. The so-called general soldiers of flowing water, the iron-clad guards, are talking about these guys. Their power in their respective guards can be said to be deeply entrenched, so even Chen Hongfan, the former commander of Denglai, is unwilling to provoke these hereditary earth overlords. ”
Huang Bao paused and continued: "It's just a pity, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, such a guy is really rampant and presumptuous, and he dares to make a black hand to Lord Li, he really lives to the end." I am afraid that they would never have thought that the security personnel of our security department who had infiltrated their Weihaiwei had already detected their conspiracy in time, but they just happened to give them a plan to fight poison with poison! ”
"Very good, a good general will plan and fight poison with poison! Since he is not benevolent, I am unjust, since these guys are disgusted with their lives and want to fight Benbo's idea, then Benbo just took the opportunity to catch them all and send them to Hades for free! On Li Xiao's face, a hideous color suddenly flashed.
。。。。。。
Three days later, Weihai Acropolis.
In the early morning, a messenger came and informed Xu Chengrong, the commander of Weihaiwei, that Li Xiao, the commander of Chifengbo, had gone to Weihaiwei for a banquet, and that it was only more than four miles away from Weihaiwei, and asked Xu Chengrong to take the other three commanders and envoys out of the city to greet him.
After hearing the news, Xu Chengrong was overjoyed, he prepared a little, and after changing the military attache uniform, he hurriedly took Liu Zhiqian, the commander of Chengshanwei, Zhao Shunming, the commander of Jinghaiwei, Wang Xingdao, the commander of Da Songwei, and the commander of Weihaiwei, Tongzhi, and many other officials of the guard, went out of the city together, and welcomed Li Xiao's arrival one mile outside the West Gate.
In a short time, on the western horizon, the rumbling footsteps and the sound of horses' hooves were mixed together, and from a distance, the smoke and dust were moving, but it seemed that a large force of soldiers and horses were coming.
Soon, Xu Chengrong and the others saw that there were about 600 infantry with heavy armor all over their bodies, like mecha monsters, all of them holding huge weapons such as tiger knives, tiger guns, long-handled knives, and heavy military sickles, lined up in a neat line, and rushed quickly in their own direction.
Behind some of the infantry, there were about 600 men and horses in heavy steel armor, each holding a thick cavalry spear, full of a dignified sense of intimidation, like a heavy cavalry like a miniature tank.
After these heavy cavalry, there were about 900 armored cavalrymen wearing Tartar white flag armor, and they also lined up in a neat column, silently following.
Between the two types of cavalry, there were about 100 escort cavalrymen wearing shiny steel armor, tasseled helmets, shiny and thick steel cavalry swords, and bright red cloaks.
These escort cavalry guarded a majestic general dressed in bright silver stainless steel armor, wearing an eight-petal phoenix-winged tasseled helmet, a brute lion green jade belt around his waist, bronze shin guards and combat boots, and a bright red woven flower cloak, riding a majestic horse with black body and snow-white hooves.
From a distance, this general, the clear mirror on his chest, which is as clear as a lake, reflects the blazing sun, shining brightly. The high red tassels on his head were like a cheerful red flame in the sunlight.
This general should be Li Xiao.
It's just that at this time, Xu Chengrong and the other three commanders all changed their faces in an instant.
What's going on?
Didn't you say that Li Xiao only brought some guards? How to bring more elite soldiers and horses?
The four commanders looked at each other in a panic, and each saw their own panicked appearance in each other's pupils.
Seeing Li Xiao's elite soldiers and horses silently advancing, Xu Chengrong intuitively felt a huge danger and rushed towards him.
It's not good, it must be his own plan to trap Li Xiao that has been leaked, and this guy has mobilized everyone to ask for the guilt.
An inexplicable chill poured from the top of Xu Chengrong's head to the tip of his toes.
"I'll wait until the plan has been discarded, so quickly withdraw to the city!" Xu Chengrong hissed loudly, turned around and turned around and ran towards the west gate.
The other three commanders, who were already frightened, heard Xu Chengrong's words, and everyone's faces were full of shock and remorse, and they didn't hesitate anymore, and turned around and ran back.
The others, such as the commander and the commander, saw that the Lord was about to flee, and they also turned around and fled.
Because in order to show a respectful attitude, Xu Chengrong and the others walked out of the city to greet him, so that it would be convenient for Li Xiao to lead the horse and pedal, and at this time, he was running so much that his lungs were about to explode, and he regretted extremely much why he didn't ride out of the horse at the beginning.
A group of Weihaiwei officials also ran away one after another, at this time, everyone only hated their parents for giving birth to two legs.
If you want to run, it's not that easy!
A group of white-flag cavalrymen, with a scream of hunting wild beasts from their mouths, rushed out quickly from the left and right wings, and when Xu Chengrong and the others only ran about 200 steps, they surrounded them from both sides and surrounded them in the middle.
A cold and sharp tiger knife rested horizontally on Xu Chengrong's neck.
Xu Chengrong subconsciously wanted to turn his head, but the tiger knife immediately leaned over more fiercely, and the sharp blade cut Xu Chengrong's neck, and the blood crawled out like a small snake.
Xu Chengrong, who felt the great pain coming from his neck, didn't dare to move anymore, he looked up with trembling squinted eyes, and saw that the cavalryman who pressed the tiger knife on his neck was a standard Manchurian Tartar appearance, his face was hideous and fierce, Xu Chengrong was so frightened that his lips trembled, and he fell to his knees with a plop.
Good guy, this dog-in-the-sky Li Xiao can even be included in the army, so that these Tartars can also serve him willingly, this person is really good!
cough, why did I get confused for a while, and I wanted to plot against such a strong and capable Li Xiao, this is simply self-defeating.
In Xu Chengrong's heart, he already regretted it.
The other three commanders, except for Wang Xingdao, the commander of Da Songwei, who was still calm, and Liu Zhiqian, the commander of Chengshanwei, and Zhao Shunming, the commander of Jinghaiwei, all knelt tremblingly, with a look of remorse.
The rest of the officials also knelt on the ground one after another, some weeping incessantly, some begging for mercy, and even the stench of human excrement that diffused the air, so that the white flag cavalry surrounding them, all of them had a look of contempt and disgust on their faces.
At this time, on the Weihai Acropolis in the distance, those patrolling guards saw the sudden change in front of them, and their faces were as frightened as earth, and they hurriedly closed the gate of the Weihai Acropolis.
Soon, Li Xiao led all the soldiers and rode horses to the besieged place of Xu Zhirong and others.
Seeing that the commander Li Xiao came over, he separated the white flag cavalry surrounded by Xu Chengrong and others, and let Li Xiao enter with the escort cavalry.
Li Xiao's mount stood five steps away from the kneeling Weihaiwei officials.
"Which one is Xu Chengrong?"
Li Xiao's voice sounded calmly and coldly.
Xu Chengrong trembled, then walked forward on his knees, and said: "The last general is Xu Chengrong, the commander of Weihaiwei, and he is here to wait for the arrival of Uncle Chifeng." “
Li Xiao sneered: "It turns out that you are Xu Chengrong, this official led the crowd to the banquet, but why did you not come to greet me when you saw me waiting, but turned around and ran away?" ”
Listening to Li Xiao's ridiculous words, Xu Chengrong's face was embarrassed, and he muttered: "The lower officials saw that the adults were mighty and sharp, and they didn't feel afraid, so they wanted to retreat to the city first, rectify the city, and then welcome the adults into the city." ”
After Xu Chengrong finished speaking, before Li Xiao could answer, Li Haoran, the captain of the guard next to him, shouted angrily: "Phew! Xu Chengrong, you shameless villain, it is clear that when you saw the army of Chifeng Bo coming to command, you knew that the poisonous plan had been discovered, so you wanted to retreat to the city and hold on. ”
After Li Haoran said this, he loudly said their plot to trap Li Xiao in public.
The faces of the four commanders were suddenly like earth.
The Weihaiwei official next to him was terrified.
After Li Haoran finished speaking, Liu Zhiqian, the commander of Cheng Shanwei next to him, shouted: "Your Excellency is wronged, we sincerely welcome your adult to come to the banquet, and we have no two hearts." I got up and returned to the city, but I was afraid that I was not well prepared, so I planned to retreat to the city first, and after rectifying the city, I would come to welcome the adults. ”
Zhao Shunming and Wang Xingdao seemed to have suddenly woken up, and they also shouted loudly.
"Enough!"
Li Xiao blocked Liu Zhiqian's further aggrieved, with an inexplicable mysterious smile on his face, he said coldly: "Since you are not in trouble, then please open the city gate." ”
Li Xiao gave such an order, Xu Chengrong got up tremblingly, and reluctantly led the way in front.
Outside the west gate, Xu Chengrong, who was like a lost dog, shouted several times to the city with a straight voice, and those frightened patrol soldiers hesitated to open the city gate and put down the drawbridge.
As soon as the drawbridge was lowered, a large number of LTTE infantry rushed in.
As soon as they entered the city, there were immediately personnel from the Security Department hidden in the city who came to lead them, took them straight to the restaurant where Xu Chengrong held a banquet for Li Xiao, and then rushed directly into the private room.
Seeing these long-standing battle-hardened soldiers, exuding a dignified murderous aura on their bodies, like mecha monsters, the armor leaves on their bodies strode forward with a loud sound, and the more than 1,000 armor soldiers who were ambushed outside the restaurant, as well as the fifty sword and axe men outside the room, were all frightened and scattered.
If you want to escape, it's impossible.
A large number of Xuanhu heavy cavalry and Manchurian cavalry were already surrounded by horses' hooves, and killed several guys who fled to the forefront on the spot, and the rest were terrified and knelt on the ground and begged for surrender.
When the cavalry wiped out the ambush armor soldiers and axe men, the rampant sentry that rushed into the private room had already packed all the items on Li Xiao's dining table where the wine had been placed and handed them to Li Xiao, who was standing proudly on the horse.
Seeing that Li Xiao had brought all the ambush soldiers and the wine on the banquet, the four commanders were all as dead as ashes at this time.
"Report to Chi Fengbo, a group of ambush armor soldiers and sword and axe men, as well as the things found from the room, have all been brought, please ask Chi Fengbo to review."
Tian Wei, the commander of the Chifeng Battalion, reported to Li Xiaoyu.
Before Li Xiao could speak, the armor soldiers and sword and axe hands who were forced to kneel next to him cried out one after another.
"Uncle Chifeng, spare your life, we are all forced to do this helpless move."
"Uncle Chifeng, please spare the little one's life, there is an eighty-year-old mother in the villain's house."
"Uncle Chifeng, the villain knows that he is wrong, you have a lot of adults, as long as you spare the villain's life, the villain is willing to be a cow and a horse for Uncle Chifeng."
。。。。。。
"Stop howling! Whoever is howling Lao Tzu cut who first! Let's listen to the fall of Chifengbo! “
Tian Wei, the commander of the Chifeng Battalion, shouted angrily, and the crying armor soldiers and sword and axe hands were suddenly quiet.
"Come here."
Li Xiao gave a horsewhip to a soldier who looked like a small leader with tears in his eyes and wanted to cry but didn't dare.
When the man saw that it was Chi Fengbo Li Xiao calling himself, he trembled unconsciously, quickly got up, came to Li Xiaoma, and knelt down.
"I ask you, who instructed you to assassinate Benbo?" Li Xiao's words were cold and majestic, and after hearing this, this person trembled like ice water all over his body.
However, he immediately rolled his eyes, and immediately thought that now was a good time to confess and expose, so he immediately pointed to Xu Chengrong not far away, and said loudly to Li Xiao: "Uncle Chifeng, the villain did this foolish thing, all because of the instructions of Xu Chengrong, the commander of Weihaiwei!" If you don't believe it, all the brothers can testify. “
As soon as the man finished speaking, all the people kneeling on the ground shouted.
"That's right, Master Li, Xu Chengrong instructed us to do it!"
"Yes, Uncle Chifeng, it was Xu Chengrong who forced the villain to do this unscrupulous thing that ignores his conscience."
"Uncle Chifeng, it was Xu Chengrong who used such a poisonous trick against adults in order to continue to eat empty salaries."
Li Xiao waved his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet.
Then he turned his head to look at Xu Chengrong, who was pale and had cold sweat oozing from his forehead, but an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.
"Xu Chengrong, these soldiers, they all said that you instructed them to come to assassinate Benbo."
Li Xiao's words were flat, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him.
"Master Li, this, this, I don't know 。。。。。 below."
Xu Chengrong said such vague words in his mouth, but the expression on his face was like a drowning man who was going to frantically grab a life-saving straw.
Li Xiao laughed a few times, didn't say anything, just picked up a handful of exquisitely crafted wine jugs, and a finely carved wine glass, and played with them carefully.
Li Xiao saw that at the bottom of this wine jug, there was a very small note pasted on it, on which the word Li Xiao was invisibly written.
On Li Xiao's face, the smile suddenly became even bigger.
Then, he slowly poured a glass of crystal clear wine from the flask.
"Alas, if you don't drink such a good wine jug, such a good wine glass, and such a good wine for this official, won't it be wasted?" Li Xiao gently sniffed the mellow aroma of wine in the cup with his nose, but his face was full of pity.
"Since Commander Xu doesn't know, it's not an exaggeration for those who don't know." Li Xiao handed the wine in the cup to Li Haoran, who was standing respectfully, and then said to him lightly: "Just give this cup of good wine to Commander Xu to drink to suppress the shock." ”
Hearing Li Xiao's words, Xu Chengrong's eyes widened instantly.
