Chapter Ninety-Six: The Mystery Inn
Ming Shizhou Wei Fuyi, who didn't want to offend people, said superficially: "Don't be nervous, this general has only temporarily canceled your right to lead troops, not to collect troops, please rest assured!" But the Tusi officials didn't listen at all, and they still planned to continue the trouble.
After seeing that the plan had succeeded, the fine work in the barracks ran to a deserted house of the Thousand Households and released carrier pigeons, and after a while, the artillery fire of the thieves' army came over, and (knock, knock, knock) landed in the city of Zhenxi guarding the Thousand Households.
Mingshi Prefecture Wei Fuyi Tongzhi, who was still arguing about the issue of military power, asked everyone to calm down and fight against the thieves, and the Tusi officials asked to bring firearms to fight, which was also rejected by Mingshi Prefecture Wei Fuyi Tongzhi, he was afraid that the Tusi soldiers would really rebel? Therefore, the two sides quarreled again, so that the thieves took the opportunity to attack the city tower, and set fire to several camps in the city, and a small number of Ming troops and Tusi soldiers who fought in the panic had no chance to show their strength and were killed by the thieves army! At this point, the second line of defense was also breached, and the army of the king of the west completely occupied Huguangcheng and declared the political division.
On December 10th, the left squire of the Ming Army Department and the fourth division supervisor: Lu Daqi, knew that if he did not unite with the Zuojia army, he would not be sure to resist the thief army! He wore a scarlet robe (official uniform) with a three-grade honeysuckle pattern and personally came to the camp of the Zuojia Army, and merged into the Chinese military account to comfort the bedside of General Mingping.
After entering the account, Zuo Shilang of the Ming Army opened his mouth and smiled: "How can the victorious general of the Ming Dynasty be sick!" The old man specially brought some supplements to visit the general, hoping that the general can recover soon, and then you and I will jointly resist the thieves to defend Jiangxi Chengxuan Zhengsi! ”
Seeing that the left squire of the Ming army department was not here to seize his military power, he made the Ming Ping thief general put down his suspicions, got up, lifted the quilt, saluted with both hands, and said: "How dare the last general bother Lord Zuo Shilang of the military department, it is really a crime to come to visit, and he deserves death!" ”
At this time, the left waiter of the Ming Army Department saw that he dispelled his doubts, so he asked: "I don't know what strategy the general of the thief has to retreat from the enemy?" I saw that the general of the Ming Ping thief pointed to the left attendant of the Ming Soldier Department and gestured with his hand, and the Zuo Waiter of the Ming Soldier Department who reacted hurriedly praised, "Yes, it's really wonderful!" ”
So the two of them led the snake out of the hole according to the plan, and the troops of Ji'an Mansion and Nan'an Mansion were dispatched by Zuo Shilang of the Ming Army Department to attract the enemy to the area of Zhangshu Town, but because the total strength of the local garrison was only 30,000, when the King of the West attacked the enemy camp, he only brought out the 80,000 Western Army commanders: Gu Wangpu, and the 3,000 battalions of the Western Army.
The Ming army under the command of the Ming Army's Zuo Shilang opened the formation and set up artillery bombardment, and the thief army saw this, and immediately dispatched cavalry to break the formation, and transferred the rest of the infantry and firecrackers out of the camp to pursue so far, 80,000 thieves were successfully attracted by the Ming army, and the Zuo army was killed at this time, cutting off the back road of the thief army, and returning the rear of the Western army with the captivity cannon and the Frankie cannon to kill the captives, and the Frankie cannon to fight back the rear of the Western Army, creating the illusion of being surrounded.
The unwitting commander of the Western Malaysian Army mistakenly thought that he had been ambushed by the Ming army? He was afraid of being annihilated, so he retreated to the east to find the main army of the King of the West, while the Zuojia army pursued all the way over, so that Zuo Shilang of the Ming Army Department took the opportunity to recover Xiajiang County and Yongxin County.
On the other side, Wu Junzhen, who crossed the Yellow River and landed on the shore, came to the territory of Yonghe County, Pingyang Prefecture, Chengxuan, Shanxi Province, and saw that the sky was about to get dark, and the cold climate made Ma Wei, who was walking on horseback, a little unbearable, so he said: "It's not too early, let's quickly find an inn to rest!" ”
Hearing his words, Liu Ruilin stepped forward and said, "I'm afraid you're not hungry?" Looking for something to eat? ”
Ma Wei, who was said to be worried, directly admitted that he had been so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back! Between the words, Wu Junzhen pointed to the hillside not far in front and said, "Look, where is there an inn?" ”
The two hurriedly looked ahead, and sure enough, they saw a four-story inn standing next to the road, Ma Wei was very happy and rushed to the front, and Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin behind him were almost unable to catch up with him.
When Ma Wei pushed the door open before coming to the inn, he saw that the inn was empty? The hungry Ma Wei couldn't help it anymore and shouted, "Is there anyone? Where is the owner available? After shouting a few words in succession, no one answered him! Disappointed, he looked around and suddenly found that there was a roast chicken on the shelf next to the counter?
Ma Wei quickly rushed over and was about to eat, but he felt that it was too rude to eat like this? Then he continued to shout twice, "Is anyone there?" I'm going to start if there's no one! After saying that, he tore off a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth to eat, and just after a few bites, Ma Wei went to get the tea on the table in the hall to drink.
After a while, Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin also walked in, and they saw Ma Wei sitting at the table devouring food, so they came over and asked, "Eat so quickly?" Is this the roast chicken you ordered? Before Ma Wei could answer, he heard a crisp and sweet voice coming from behind him? I only heard the other party say, "When did the two guest officers come?" It's really rude for the slave family to be poorly received! ”
At this time, the two turned to look at the person who spoke, and saw a handsome woman in her early twenties and a very bewitching dress walking over, and Wu Junzhen replied, "Where, where!" I've just just come in. As soon as the words ended, the proprietress saw the man sitting at the table eating roast chicken, and she said very gently, "Ouch! This guest officer, why are you eating the roast chicken on the counter? ”
At this moment, Ma Wei turned his head to look at her and asked, "What's wrong, why not?" The proprietress didn't say anything, just stretched out her hand and touched Ma Wei's chest and said, "Guest officer, wait a minute! The slave will go and get you something to eat. After speaking, he took the plate and walked to the back, Liu Ruilin accidentally saw that there were calluses on her hands? And she walks with a steady stride, not twisting her ass like ordinary women.
While the three of them were waiting, Liu Ruilin first asked, "Brother Ma, did you come in just now and found that there was roast chicken on the cabinet?" Ma Wei nodded and told him that the roast chicken was complete, it tasted good and delicious, and Wu Junzhen said, "You are really a glutton!" How can you just steal someone else's stuff? Besides, we haven't ordered yet... ”
Before he finished speaking, he heard the proprietress lift the curtain and say, "Guest officer, your dish is ready!" I saw the proprietress come over with a plate of good fried beef with green peppers and put it on the table, and there was a man behind him who looked like a lame man with his legs? Brought a few plates of vegetarian dishes and put them on the table.
The proprietress said charmingly: "A few guest officers, please use it slowly!" After speaking, he made a flying kiss to Ma Wei, as if he was electrocuted, Ma Wei was stunned for a moment, and felt that his heart was happy and hurriedly picked up chopsticks to pick up vegetables to eat, but was stopped by Liu Ruilin and said, "Slow!" I think this boss lady is a little weird? Check first to see if the dish is poisonous and eaten. ”
I saw Ma Wei look at him with contempt and said, "You're too suspicious, aren't you?" The proprietress of the house is kind to entertain, but you don't appreciate it but still suspect it? What can a weak woman do! Despite this, Liu Ruilin still took out a silver needle from his chest to try the dish, and after stirring for a while to confirm that there was no poison in the dish, the three of them put down their chopsticks and eat.
At this moment, the proprietress came out of the pillar very coquettishly and asked, "Do you want a few guest officers to come to an old daughter?" ”
Wu Junzhen, who heard that there was wine, couldn't stand it anymore, turned his head to look at the proprietress who was swinging, and replied, "Since the proprietress is so hospitable, then we are embarrassed to refuse!" Then it is better to be respectful than to obey fate. Then he got up, walked over, took the jar, sat down, and poured the wine.
After the three of them were full of wine and food, Wu Junzhen was very grateful and asked, "The boss lady checks out!" After paying 1 cent, they were arranged by the proprietress to live in a wing room on the fourth floor of the backyard.
But when going upstairs, Wu Junzhen discovered a strange phenomenon? That is, it is understandable that the first floor is placed with sundries, and the second floor is a guest room, but no one lives in it? When I went up to the third floor, I vaguely saw candlelight in a few rooms around the corner, but I wasn't sure if anyone lived there. This made Wu Junzhen couldn't help but ask, "Hey! Boss, are you usually so light? ”
I saw the proprietress holding the pillar with her left hand and her right hand at the waist, revealing her non-full chest and saying, "We are the only road to Li County, usually only people who participate in the scientific expedition in Pingyang Mansion come to stay in the hotel, or some chivalrous guests will stay in the hotel!" Therefore, there are relatively few people. ”
Having said that, but Wu Junzhen feels that something is wrong? Generally, there should be a lot of merchants and people on the road to the county seat! It is impossible that there are very few people who have to stay in a hotel even in times of war? With questions, he was sent into the guest room, and after pushing the door open, he saw that there were three beds, a table, and a bookshelf inside.
The proprietress said to the three of them: "Today, the slave family is happy, and if you don't want to overcharge, just pay 1 yuan of silver!" After paying the money, the proprietress said, "There will be hot water later, do you need it?" Ma Weise looked at her with a smile and replied, "As long as you say it, I want it all." Seeing that Ma Wei was fascinated by the proprietress, Wu Junzhen shook his head helplessly and turned around and began to clean up the mattress.
After a while, the proprietress came in with a hot water basin to soak their feet, and Liu Ruilin deliberately forced her to go away on the pretext of changing clothes in order to let the proprietress go out, and the three of them comfortably soaked their feet and began to go to bed.
Ma Wei was very active, lying on the bed and sleeping with the quilt covered, and when Wu Junzhen was about to rest, Liu Ruilin patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "Brother Wu, I think something is not right with this store?" Just in case, let's not sleep too deeply, why don't you and I take turns to keep vigil tonight and sleep soundly! ”
This is no problem for Wu Junzhen, who advocates martial arts, after the two reached a consensus, Liu Ruilin guarded in the first half of the night, and Wu Junzhen guarded in the second half of the night, Liu Ruilin got up and took the saber he carried with him to the window to look at it and confirm that it was fine, and sat at the table with his back against the chair to rest for a while.
