Chapter 21: Time is Life
"Report, the Tai Lieutenant's man is here at the foot of the mountain."
"Roger, stand down."
I saw that when the sentry came to report, General Li was chatting with the three Lin Maolin brothers.
At this time, there will be a life-and-death struggle in the Sanzhi Zone, and there are still two hours left in the assessment of Chang'an City.
I saw a soldier come to the front of the captain and said to the captain: "Report to the captain, we saw with our own eyes that the three brothers Lin Maolin, Wu Dier and Drought Fish all went to that mountain, and it seems that they still have an unclear relationship with Li Zhanming, and Li Zhanming seems to have been on the same boat with the three brothers of Tianmen since the rescue of Tianlun Mountain."
Taiwei scout angrily reprimanded: "What a big courage, there is such a stubborn person at the feet of my Taiwei, if it weren't for my generosity and kindness, I would have killed the three of them now, today we will lead the troops to go, if the three of them do not repent, it is of course the best to solve it." ”
The soldiers under his command were very excited after listening to the general's words.
I saw that the general under the Taiwei said to the soldiers: "Brothers, today we will go up the mountain and capture Li Zhanming, you and I are considered to be the first meritorious, and we can be regarded as a small accomplished figure in this imperial city, and Taiwei is the most powerful official in the imperial city, and he can definitely ensure that the brothers eat and drink spicy food." ”
A small soldier said: "But, General Li, no, the former General Li has always been known for his bravery, and now we are going to attack, then there must be a vicious fight, and if there is a vicious fight, casualties are indispensable, and now we are in troubled times, if the foreign enemy invades on a large scale, how can we resist?" ”
A small soldier can think about the general for the sake of the general and a general cannot, and even a bigger officer will only be jealous of the powerful other side and end up killing each other.
"Get out, Uncle Zhou Huang formed a party for personal gain, rebelled against the dynasty, if you don't get rid of it now, you will be afraid of the root cause in the future, and the people will be miserable."
The soldier was about to speak, but after the general interrupted him directly, the two of them slowly approached the soldier, and when the whole army was on standby, each of them went to prepare military weapons and combat readiness resources, but several people who followed the soldier picked up the sickles in their hands.
"Who are you? I don't know you, this is the Captain's territory. ”
"Click"
Before the soldier could resist, the lieutenant's killer had already been done, leaving only the one dragging a letter with the word peace written on it.
What is recorded in the letter is that there are some codes on the paper he used to contact the prince of the border city.
In the Jingwang Mansion in the southern city, the prince of Jing stood on the table and said: "Taiwei wolf ambition, how did Uncle Zhou Huang's innocence end up forming a party for personal gain?" Li Zhanming also helped me before, he was a Warring States general appointed by the previous emperor, but today he has become a thief here in Taiwei? Give me someone, and I will impeach the lieutenant. ”
King Jing asked his subordinates to bring paper and inkstone and pen and ink, and then drafted a recital of the imperial court, the content of the reciter is: There must be people in the imperial city who patrol the private dance, frame Zhongliang, collude with the rebellious ministers, and cause my Great Zhou Jiangye to be in dire straits, lest the world is not chaotic, and the ambition of the wolf son is clearly revealed, and I also ask Your Majesty to dismiss the Taiwei and pardon the imperial uncle, and also conform to the will of the people, and return to the orthodoxy of the saints. ”
King Jing flew directly to the imperial city with a piece of paper, and one of the generals under his command in the southern city was already a figure at the level of a leader and general in the southern city.
And Wen Heyan, who was in the imperial city, had already contacted Prince Jing through letters.
"Lord Jing, the imperial city has changed the world, Uncle Zhou Huang was plotted by the Taiwei, and now he is in prison, I am waiting for a weak force, I just want to do my part to rescue the prince in the morning, so as to consolidate my luck in the Great Zhou."
Just after the Taiwei went all out to attack the army led by Li Zhanming, there had already been changes in the imperial city, Wen Heyan presided over the meeting, and the audience was full of civil officials: "Brothers, the imperial city is in trouble now, the Taiwei is down, in this troubled world, we can only reverse the defeat by picking up the weapons in our hands, the ambition of the Taiwei wolf is already known to the world, if we don't take action, then even if we want to turn the tables in the future, we can only be at the mercy of the Taiwei, now the Taiwei is attacking the nameless mountain, and we need to stand up in the imperial city, Rescue the captain and restore my luck in the Great Zhou. ”
Wen Heyan said directly.
Because these are their very good old friends, they are not together for a day or two, but when they are over half a hundred years old, there is such a group of partners to accompany them, which is really a kind of enjoyment in life, and it is also a blessing.
"Brothers, the captain is in this prison."
I saw a towering prison in front of me, and a group of people were leading the mighty flow of people, and secretly it was the group of Dongying people and the Shadow Gang who were watching the excitement.
With a group of people holding Wen Heyan's token and a piece of paper from King Jing, they rushed in directly, and the guards at the door stopped them. The crowd who suddenly broke in saw that the group of guards was directly escorted and could not do anything.
"Where is Uncle Zhou? Take me quickly, or your heads will probably say goodbye to your bodies. ”
Where did the soldier who was pressed to the ground suffer such coercion, I saw a soldier pointing to the position in front of him in a panic and said: "It is the prison in front, and the heavy prison below the ground is where Uncle Zhou Huang is held." ”
I saw that it was Wen Heyan's eldest son Wen Haozhi who took the lead, and Wen Haozhi led the people under his command to go directly to the prison.
However, on their way to the prison, they were intercepted by the enemy.
"You are not allowed to enter, this is a special prison set up by the emperor, a place specially used to detain civil and military officials and relatives of the emperor, and this is not a place where you can come if you want to, leave quickly, I don't care too much, otherwise, all of you will be a capital crime."
Wen Haozhi did not flinch, only to see Wen Haozhi take out a piece of paper from the prince of Jing and said: "Now that the imperial city is in turmoil, as the prince of the imperial court, I am used to being pampered in the border city. ”
Before Wen Haozhi could finish reading Prince Jing's edict, the person in front of him interrupted Wen Haozhi's words.
"What prince is not a prince, there is only one captain in this imperial city, and the captain here has the final say. Come on, take them down for me, and hand them over to the lieutenant. ”
Although the general in front of him is not a big general, he is also a close confidant of the captain, this person is the captain's sworn friend, and of course the only enemy of this group of people who are on the side of the royal family.
Wen Haozhi said: "Brothers, give it to me, we can't save it today." ”
And the people of the East Ying and the Shadow Gang have descended on this prison.
"Brothers, we just need to wait until the opportunity comes, sneak in directly, our task is to kidnap Uncle Zhou, and we can also kill Uncle Zhou Huang when we have no choice, we must not let them succeed easily."
The invisible man was hiding in the shadows and muttering to the group of brothers under his hands, as if everything was under control, and that kind of self-confidence beyond heaven made him even forgetful, and hiding in the shadows also highlighted the sinister and cunning color.
The battle here is about to break out, and the army of Taiwei, who is attacking Li Zhanming at the foot of the nameless mountain, knew that someone in the imperial city rescued Uncle Zhou Huang without authorization, Taiwei said angrily: "Bold, who is coming, when I return to the imperial city, I will definitely behead them all over the house, I have vented the hatred in my heart, the pain of distraction, this is really a sharp knife directly inserted into my heart, the court is about to be in chaos, the original stable country and my increasingly powerful Taiwei, this battle can be described as a battle of stability for us, and it depends on this battle to win the throne." , If you win, then the country of the imperial court will always be my captain, but if you lose the battle, then the so-called decent people will definitely not make me feel better, so we must go all out in this battle, and we must wipe out all the enemies, and show the demeanor of my captain, then you will all be the founding fathers, high-ranking officials, and the reward will naturally be no longer a problem. ”
"Captain, there is still movement on the Nameless Mountain, may I ask if we need to attack on a large scale, and the selection of the Chang'an City, do we need to go to maintain law and order."
I saw that the general Chen Rinxian waved his hands and said to the lieutenant in a gentle tone.
After thinking for a while, the Taiwei said directly: "General Chen, you are responsible for the attack on the Nameless Mountain, I will go back to preside over the final selection of Chang'an City, as long as you meet Wu Dier and the three of you, you will kill me, and I will send someone to stop it in the Imperial City Prison." ”
After saying that, the captain's men and horses were first divided into two ways, and then the soldiers were divided into three ways.
All the way to the Imperial City Prison to rescue is another team of people, this team of people is a secret organization personally cultivated by the Tai Lieutenant, this team has also appeared before, and has also come to the Imperial City to create chaos, but unexpectedly jumped out of a Lin Maolin three brothers, completely broke the conspiracy of the Tai Lieutenant, now it is time to settle the account, I saw the Tai Lieutenant come to the main venue, and at this time, there is only a stick of incense less than a stick of incense before the final selection, seeing that everyone else is stretching their bodies on the field, relaxing the meridians, but there is no one in the position of the three Lin Maolin brothers.
A group of people and others are talking about differences.
"Why haven't these three people come yet? Did these three go home and nurse? ”
As one man said this, the four or five people around him burst into laughter.
And just five or six meters away from them, a voice came, and this voice said: "Maybe these three people are doing something more important than the selection." ”
The five or six people who were still laughing at this couldn't stop laughing.
"What big things can they do, it's so hard that it's hard to go home and breastfeed."
The others couldn't help but sneer a few times.
But Lin Maolin, Wu Dier and Drought are really doing a very important thing.
"Brothers, don't stay alive, you don't have to go back if you come here today, give me your life here."
I saw the general guarding the prison say to Wen Haozhi and the group.
At this time, there were three other forces hiding in the shadows, Lin Maolin and the other three found a lot of things wrong when they first came, but they couldn't tell what was wrong, so they came sneaking over on this trip, which also made them see many things that ordinary people can't see.
And these four or five forces are all making their own calculations, so Lin Maolin said directly: "We only have less than one stick of incense, we must take advantage of the chaos to rescue Uncle Zhou Huang on this trip, and we have to be fast, after a stick of incense, we will gather at the selection venue to prepare for today's interview, do you have any differences, brothers?" ”
"Nope."
At this time, Wu Dier and Dry Fish didn't have a clue, so they could only listen to the third brother, at least the dead horse could also be a live horse doctor, right?
Lin Maolin continued: "In this case, eldest brother, when I enter this door, you will be responsible for helping me block this door with a blindfold, and you will retreat in just five minutes, and second brother, you will watch the group of people in front of you, if they are in trouble, you can help them, they will also be our good helpers." Everyone should act at the opportunity, do not complete the task, and then we will meet at the venue, and we must not delay the big event. ”
Just when he was about to open the prison gate, the alarm on the prison suddenly sounded, and the people on the field turned their eyes to look at Lin Maolin, at this moment, Wu Dier suddenly came down, and a smoke bomb fell directly at Lin Maolin's feet.
"Boom"
With a bang, billowing smoke rose, and Lin Maolin's figure disappeared from people's sight in an instant.
"Oh no, someone has broken into prison."
The soldiers of the Tai Lieutenant turned around and wanted to block the people who entered the prison, but at this time, the general trend was irreversible, when they came to the door, the two war knives attacked them directly, saying that it was too late and that was fast, after the person in front of him saw the dazzling light of the war knife, he hurriedly dodged and successfully avoided the attack of the war knife, but behind him, King Jing and the group of restless people in Chang'an sent to do things had already come to their side, and when they were about to go inside, where would the Tai Captain's people easily let them in? I saw that the general sent by the lieutenant directly stopped Wen Haozhi and the others.
"Stop, one step further and no mercy."
Where can Wen Haozhi settle down when he hears this, after all, someone has already entered this prison one step ahead of them, if it is a friend, then it is okay to say, but what if it is an enemy? Then it's bad.
"Brothers, something so big happened, and the captain's people are coming soon, now we have to fight to the death, brothers give it to me."
As soon as the order was given, Wen Haozhi's soldiers rushed forward directly, just when they were fighting, the people of Dongying and the Shadow Gang had already come to the door, and after the two groups of people looked at each other, they entered the prison one after the other, they didn't know who the person was, and suddenly, Wu Dier directly blocked in front of the two teams of people and said to them: "You can't go in." ”
When the Shadow Gang and the Dongying people saw Wu Dier coming, they all knew who had done it.
"It turned out to be an old friend."
I saw a samurai come out of Dongying, and an old friend came out of the Shadow Gang - Kai Yin. Your opponent is us, the two of them attacked Wu Dier directly, Wu Dier, who had no time to react, was defeated under the attack of the two, and then stimulated the power of the soul blood unique to the Wu Dier family, Wu Dier was like a motionless guardian directly on the gate, and it was difficult for the two teams next to him to advance for half a point.
Kai Yin knew that he couldn't give him a chance to delay time, so his body was also extremely fast, coupled with the assistance of the Dongying warriors, Wu Dier, who had lasted for more than five minutes, retreated directly to the prison, and the Dongying people and a group of sect members of the Shadow Gang also rushed to the prison non-stop, just when they came to the place where Uncle Zhou Huang was kidnapped, Lin Maolin had already lurked out with Uncle Zhou Huang, who was covered with injuries.
"Brothers, Uncle Zhou Huang has been rescued by the three Lin Maolin brothers, as long as we catch the three Lin brothers, then why don't Uncle Zhou Huang fall into our hands."
As the Dongying warrior spoke, he picked up the sword in his hand and went directly towards Wu Dier, how could Wu Dier alone be able to defeat so many people on the other side. Just when Wu Dier was surrounded by the enemy, the drought man jumped, and the battle axe in his hand slashed directly on the ground, only to see that large and small cracks appeared on the ground in an instant, and the people on the crack swayed from side to side as if they had lost their center of gravity, and only a few generals barely stood firm. At this time, the guards around the city had also arrived.
"Brothers, surround me here, don't let anyone go."
There was already a sparse crowd at the door, and the shouting and killing outside the venue were endless, and the sound of torches and wood piled up on the walls was even more terrifying.
Lin Maolin had already run out of the prison when he rescued Uncle Zhou Huang again, and at this time, his brother was still in this heavily surrounded prison.
"It's not good."
The Dongying people were the first to want to leave, because if they were caught by the people of the Zhou Dynasty, then they would also die, so their only hope was to escape from here as soon as possible.
