Chapter 9 The Door of the Hou Mansion

Sheng Yinghou Zhong was nearly fifty years old from Feng, and he had a good personal relationship with Yu Shengwei when he was young.

Situ Zhan found the Fenwei general Tao Shanling and said to him: "General Tao, you take three thousand armor soldiers with me to the Shengying Marquis Mansion and surround the Hou Mansion, no one is allowed to enter or leave the Shengying Marquis Mansion without the general's order." ”

"I'll go get ready." Tao Shan said.

In the mansion of Marquis Sheng Ying, Zhong Lifeng was drinking alone, and suddenly saw Situ Zhan break in with dozens of armor soldiers.

Situ Zhan said in a strange tone: "Marquis Zhongli, I heard that the wine in your house is extremely delicious, can you give it to the next glass?" ”

"Situ Zhan, a shameless villain like you is also worthy of drinking Ben Hou's wine? As a minion of the old thief, you have become majestic. Zhongli said.

"Master Hou, you haven't changed at all, and you still speak so harshly. Do you know? Just because you speak harshly, many people persuaded the general to kill you, if I hadn't spoken for you in front of the general, you would have fallen to the ground long ago. Situ Zhan said.

"No more nonsense! What happened when you led your troops to break into my Hou Mansion? ”

"I'm here to borrow something from Master Hou today."

"Borrow something?"

"Borrow the knife from the house and use it, and I will return to Zhao after I am finished."

When Zhong Lifeng heard this, he said angrily: "The Sharpening Knife is Benhou's family heirloom knife, and it will never be lent to you." ”

"Really?" Situ Zhan's face changed, "Let me search and find the treasure knife." ”

Zhong Lifeng stood up, pointed at Situ Zhan and said sharply, "You dare to let people search Benhou's mansion!" How daring! ”

Situ Zhan walked in front of Zhong Lifeng and said viciously, "Search your mansion, what can you do?" I have one more thing to tell you, your Hou Mansion is surrounded by armor soldiers, and from today onwards, no one in the mansion will want to go out! ”

As soon as the words fell, a soldier came over with a sharpening knife and handed it to Situ Zhan with both hands.

Situ Zhan smiled proudly and walked out of the gate of the Hou Mansion with the armor.

Zhong Lifeng picked up the wine glass and put it on the ground, knocked down the table again, and roared angrily: "Situ Zhan, you villain is too rampant!" One day, Ben Hou will slaughter you with his own hands! ”

Situ Zhan rode out of Yinghui City and galloped south. He walked through a bamboo forest to a small river, took the reins, turned over and dismounted.

A middle-aged man wearing a hat was fishing by the river, and when he saw Situ Zhan coming over, he put away his fishing rod.

"I've seen Mr. Szeto." The middle-aged man said.

Situ Zhan said with a smile: "Yin Rong, I came today to ask you to do something. ”

"What is the gentleman going down to do?" Yin Rong asked.

"I asked you to go to Ruizhou City alone to assassinate Ruizhou Assassin Shi Yu Shengwei, do you dare to go?"

"Of course I dare to go. Mr. once saved his life, and he is willing to go to the soup for Mr. ”

"Good! How are you going to assassinate Yu Shengwei? ”

"As long as he is out of the Assassin's Mansion, I can kill him."

Situ Zhan shook his head and said, "Yu Shengwei is often accompanied by dozens of personal soldiers, and his personal soldiers are very fierce, you can't get close to him at all. ”

"So what to do next?"

"I want you to go to Yu Shengwei's account as a general, gain his trust, and then look for an opportunity to kill him, remember, do things safely, and kill him with one blow!" As he spoke, Situ Zhan took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yin Rong.

Yin Rong finished reading the letter, put it away, and said, "I understand what Mr. meant." ”

Situ Zhan took off the Sharpening Knife from his waist, handed it to Yin Rong, and said: "The name of this knife is called Sharpening Knife, and it is Zhong Lifeng's family heirloom knife. With this knife and that letter, he can definitely deceive Yu Shengwei. ”

"I'm going to prepare here, and tomorrow morning, I'll set off for Ruizhou City."

"Well, I'm waiting for your good news in Yinghui City."

After Yu Moyuan returned to Ruizhou City, he ordered the grain officer to send 50,000 stone of grain to Zhongsun Mansion.

Yu Shengwei learned that Yu Moyuan was going to marry Zhongsun Xuewei, and immediately called Yu Moyuan.

"Father, what happened to the child when he saw your displeasure on his face?" Yu Moyuan asked.

"Mo Yuan, last year, my father asked you to marry Chang Beijia's niece, and you made a bunch of excuses, but you didn't want to marry someone else. It's good now, you don't discuss it with your parents, you want to marry that woman named Zhongsun Xuewei, you are really good. Yu Shengwei said.

"In order to borrow the grain of Zhongsun's family before, I promised Zhongsun Yunxu to marry his sister."

"What? Then why didn't you tell your father before? ”

Yu Moyuan didn't know what to say for a while, and stood in place without saying a word.

"Nothing to say, right? My father will tell you now, you can't marry Zhongsun Xuewei, if you want to marry, you can marry your niece who often doesn't drive! ”

"Father, Chang Beijia's niece is short-tempered and vexatious, I won't marry her."

"Presumptuous! Don't you even listen to the words of your father? ”

Yu Shengwei roared.

Yu Moyuan didn't say anything, ran out of the Thorn Shi Mansion, and rode to Shengming Tower.

As soon as Yu Moyuan entered the Shengming Building, a bartender greeted him, bowed down, and said, "Young Master Yu, please upstairs." ”

The bartender led Yu Moyuan to the private room, and Yu Moyuan said, "Bartender, give me a pot of good wine, and then cut some meat." ”

"Childe, please sit down, the villain is going to scald the wine."

After a while, the bartender brought wine and meat and withdrew from the private room.

Yu Moyuan had just drunk a few glasses, and Zhongsun Yunxu opened the door and entered the private room.

"Young Master Yu, why are you drinking here alone? Isn't there anything bothering you? Zhongsun Yunxu asked.

Yu Moyuan nodded and said, "My father won't let me marry Sister Ling, he wants me to marry Chang Beijia's niece." ”

"What do you think, Childe?"

"When I convince my father, I will marry Ling Mei again."

"Good! So I'm relieved. Come, Childe, let's not get drunk today. ”

Yin Rong took the sharpening knife and entered Ruizhou City and came to the door of the Assassin's Mansion.

Yin Rong said to the doorman: "I am Yin Rong, the doorman of the Shengying Marquis's Mansion, I have something to see the envoy, please let me know." ”

After a while, Yu Shengwei came to the door with Zhang Shiwu.

Yin Rong saw Yu Shengwei, knelt on the ground, and said: "Under Yin Rong, meet the envoy." ”

"Get up, Yin Zhuangshi. Are you a doorman in the mansion of Marquis Shengying? Yu Shengwei asked.

"In the next place, the Marquis of Zhongli has a letter to hand over to the envoy." As he spoke, Yin Rong took out the letter, and Zhang Shiwu took the letter and handed it to Yu Shengwei.

Yu Shengwei read the letter and said, "Brother Zhongli's handwriting has really not changed at all. Yin Zhuangshi, Hou Ye Zhongli recommended you to my account as a general, saying that you are skilled in swordsmanship, so show your hands and let me open my eyes. ”

"You can't show your ability to practice the sword alone, and you have the courage to compete with the general next to the envoy." Yin Rong said.

Yu Shengwei smiled and said, "Okay, Shiwu, you go and try it with Yin Zhuangshi." ”

"No!" Zhang Shiwu walked forward.

Yin Rong and Zhang Shiwu were ten steps away from each other, and each pulled out their knives. The two fought for more than 20 rounds, and Yu Shengwei made them stop.

"When two tigers fight, there will be one injury. Yin Zhuangshi, you have fought with Commander Zhang for more than 20 times without losing the wind at all, and your sword skills are indeed good. Yu Shengwei said.

Yin Ling knelt down, holding the knife in both hands, and asked, "Envoy, do you know this knife?" ”

Yu Shengwei stepped forward, looked at the knife carefully, and said, "Sharpen the knife, this is Brother Zhongli's family heirloom knife!" ”

"Make your eyes good. This is the sharpening knife, the Hou Ye let him wear this treasure knife, follow the envoy to sweep away the ministers, and calm the world for the Son of Heaven. Yin Ling said.

Yu Shengwei nodded and said, "That's good!" Yin Zhuangshi, please get up. There is a shortage of a lieutenant in the Mobu camp outside the West Gate, so you should go there first, and after you have made military merits, you will be promoted to general. ”

"Thank you!"

Yu Shengwei said to Zhang Shiwu: "Shiwu, you take him to the Mobu camp." ”

Yu Shengwei turned around and entered the mansion, Pu Mu came over and asked, "Envoy, did someone come to defect just now?" ”

"That's right, that person's name is Yin Rong, he came from Yinghui City, and he is Zhong Lifeng's doorman."

Pu Mu listened and asked, "Envoy, are you sure that he is Zhong Lifeng's disciple?" ”

"Of course I am sure, he has Zhong Lifeng's handwritten letter of recommendation, and he also carries Zhong Lifeng's family heirloom knife, it won't be fake." Yu Shengwei replied.

Pu Mu thought for a while and said, "Envoy, the old man wants to see Yin Rong." ”

"Mr. Pu, I asked Shiwu to take him to the Mobu camp outside the city, and you can see him again in the future."

Zhang Shiwu led Yin Rong to the Mobu camp, and the owner of the Mobu camp welcomed Qian Diwang out.

"General Qian, this strong man's name is Yin Rong, and the envoy asked him to be a captain in your camp." Zhang Shiwu said.

Qian Diwang looked at Yin Rong and said, "I will definitely obey the king's order, please follow me into the camp." ”

When he was about to reach the Chinese military tent, Zhang Shiwu vaguely heard the woman's cry, and he stopped.

"General Qian, how can there be a woman's crying in this Mobu camp?" Zhang Shiwu asked.

"This..."Qian Diwang panicked.

"Good! General Qian, you dare to hide a woman in the camp! ”

"Commander Zhang, you misunderstood, those women are not my private collection. They are the wives and concubines of my brother-in-law, Wang Liang, who brought them to the camp. Qian Diwang said.

"General Qian, in which camp are those women in?"

"Please come with me."

Zhang Shiwu and Yin Rong followed Qian Diwang to a camp tent, and Qian Diwang waved his hand to let the soldiers guarding the tent door leave.

Zhang Shiwu entered the tent and saw seven or eight young women, all crying.

"Are you Wang Liang's wife and concubine?" Zhang Shiwu asked.

A woman knelt down and said, "We were all robbed by Wang Liangyu, please save us." ”

"What?" Zhang Shiwu was taken aback, he didn't expect Wang Liangyu to dare to rob the people's daughter.

Zhang Shiwu walked quickly to the outside of the tent and said, "General Qian, let these folk girls go immediately, where is Wang Liangyu, bring him over." ”

"I'll just let him go. Commander Zhang, Wang forgave him and was not in the camp. Qian Diwang said.

"Where are the others?"

"I only know that he went to Ruizhou City, and I don't know where he is."
