Chapter 332: A thunderclap at the South City Gate
Not to mention how Li Xuan outside the city arranged, and said that at the south gate of Xingquan Mansion, Wang Mazi was still drinking and bragging with several defender generals stationed at the south city gate, and the shameless sycophants were spraying out like they didn't want money, and there was no meaning of saving at all.
"According to me, now in our Xingquan City, no one has as much credit as you, Brother Chen!" Wang Mazi showed his clothes and said with an uneven look: "Who is the life of nearly 20,000 people in the city now, isn't it Brother Chen, you are suffering and guarding the city gate here, and the pseudo-Tang thief army outside can't enter, do you say!" ”
Baihu surnamed Chen, who was sitting opposite him, smiled, revealing a look of disdain: "Where, where, I don't stick to my duty, this can hold the city, naturally it is the credit of the adults above." As he spoke, he arched his hand.
When Wang Mazi heard this, he had a smile on his face, but he secretly said in his heart: "I originally wanted to pull you to make a fortune, but since you are so obedient to your duty, then don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite!" ”
When Wang Mazi drank with this Chen Baihu with ill intentions, the helpers he brought also ate wine and food with the soldiers guarding the city gate.
This time, Wang Mazi came over, claiming to have sealed the orders of the adults above, and brought wine and food to the army, but the adults above naturally didn't know how to say it.
And these drinks and dishes are also paid for by him, speaking of which, in order to make these city gate guards eat more happily, he has spent a lot of money, and the wine and food he brought are all good wines and dishes, but it cost him more than ten taels of silver.
I heard that the adults above sent people to bring wine and food to comfort them, Chen Baihu and the soldiers of the Ming Army naturally did not suspect too much, plus this kind of excellent wine and food, they didn't have a chance to eat it on weekdays!
This food that doesn't cost money is naturally more fragrant to eat!
However, not everyone drinks and eats meat to their heart's content, and a few soldiers who are close to the city gate have always refused to drink, saying that they are drunk and misguided.
But it's okay if you don't drink wine, you have to eat rice, you look at this rice, but it's all snow-white white rice, look at this meat, how fatty, how fragrant!
What, they don't eat yet?
Is it possible?
For the people of these years, let alone these soldiers, even small landlords can't smell meat a few times a year.
For the people of this era, especially the general public, the attraction of meat is definitely super-great, and the soldiers who can resist not eating meat are definitely a minority, and they are extremely rare.
Therefore, although the few Ming soldiers who couldn't resist drinking said that they had always refused to drink, they did not refuse this meal, and they would not eat much slower than others.
Wang Mazi watched those defenders drink wine, and after eating the wine and food, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which made people see just by looking at it, this person must be a bad guy, a super villain, the kind that the little girl will shout 'bad uncle' when she sees it.
Either did something bad, or planned to do something bad, such as stealing the belly pocket of a good family, or planning to steal the belly pocket of a good family.
His weird smile was so explicit, Chen Baihu, who was sitting opposite, naturally saw it, Chen Baihu was not stupid, after seeing Wang Mazi's weird expression, he looked at Wang Mazi's line of sight, and saw that most of his soldiers were already drunk.
This scene doesn't seem to be good!
At this time, there was also a wave of dizziness in his head, what was going on?
You must know that you are a thousand glasses of alcohol that are not drunk, and you usually eat and drink with people, but you will not get drunk so easily, why will you be dizzy, as if you are drunk, you don't drink much after you count it, and there is just a small pot on the table, and this pot of wine is still drunk with Wang Mazi, why is it drunk!
At this time, he was already vigilant, and he stood up directly, and then said to Wang Mazi with a fierce look: "Wang Mazi, what's the matter with this wine?" ”
Wang Mazi did not let go of the smile on his face at this time, he did not answer Chen Baihu's question, but asked: "Brother Chen, this meal is good tonight, you know, you must know that this is specially prepared for you by my little brother!" ”
There is really a problem with this wine, this Wang Mazi suddenly appeared at the city gate, and gave himself a problematic wine, he didn't know what Wang Mazi wanted to do, but he was able to preliminarily judge that this Wang Mazi must not be bad.
It may be that he wants to open the city gate to welcome the pseudo-Tang thief army outside the city into the city.
And his guess was really right!
But at this time, he didn't know, it was just a guess, and he shouted: "There is a problem with the wine, stop drinking and take down all these people!" ”
But after he finished speaking, he didn't hear the response of his subordinates, and looked outside, only to see that his soldiers were already staggering, even the few soldiers who didn't drink and only ate food, only a few people staggered and tried to stand up, but finally pounced and fell to the ground again.
At this time, Wang Mazi showed a smug smile: "Haha, Brother Chen, you must not guess, in fact, there is no problem with this wine!" ”
As he spoke, he picked up the flask on the table and took a big sip!
"It's no problem with snacks and snacks!" As he spoke, he also took the chopsticks and added a side dish.
"But ......" Wang Mazi couldn't help but look smug when he said this: "This rice, but it's spiced, you don't want to drink the wine, you don't want to eat the vegetables, but you have to eat this rice!" ”
After speaking, Wang Mazi's pride finally couldn't help it, and the smile on his face turned into a wild laugh: "Hahaha...... Smart as I ......"
However, at this time, Chen Baihu was shaking his body, and he was about to fall down if he couldn't stand steadily, and finally held on to the table, he raised his head and said, "Wang Mazi, why are you doing this?" ”
Wang Mazi snorted coldly: "Naturally, it is to open the city gate and dedicate it to our emperor and welcome the Tang Dynasty King into the city!" ”
"You're a traitor!" Chen Baihu's eyes were full of anger, and he laboriously pulled out his waist knife with one hand: "With me here, you don't want to succeed!" ”
In other words, it's a slash!
This knife was very ferocious, almost so that Wang Mazi didn't dodge, and he was so frightened that he took two steps back in a row, with a look of fear on his face: "How can you still be able to do ......?"
Chen Baihu said: "Didn't anyone teach you not to talk too much nonsense?" ”
Wang Mazi was slightly stunned, and then said, "There really isn't!" ”
But at this time, Chen Baihu slashed again, and the frightened Wang Mazi hurriedly dodged and drew a knife to block, and at the same time complained in his heart, damn, that Jianghu Langzhong in Dongcheng is really a liar, he said that this medicine can be stunned even if it is ten strong men, but this Chen Baihu is so not down?
You must know that he specially added double the amount of medicine to Chen Baihu's rice, in order to ensure that no accidents happened.
However, although this Chen Baihu also showed signs of poisoning, he was still very violent, which was different from what he expected.
While dodging Chen Baihu's knife, he swore a poisonous oath that when he turned around, he would definitely chop up the Jianghu Langzhong who sold him fake medicine and feed it to the dogs.
However, after dodging a few times, he found that Chen Baihu on the opposite side was slow, and after jumping away a few steps, he looked at this person carefully, only to see that Chen Baihu stopped his movements by himself, and just stood stupidly in place with a knife.
What's going on, is this a fraud?
But when he stepped forward to test one or two, he found that this Chen butcher fell to the ground with a plop, and after a few breaths, a thunderous snoring sound resounded throughout the entire south city gate!
Seeing Chen Baihu fall down and snoring, Wang Mazi was still a little uneasy, the knives of Chen Baihu just now startled him, and he thought that he was going to fight with Chen Baihu, he was not sure.
If you really fight, it is very likely that he will die!
He cautiously passed, first kicked away the knife beside Chen Baihu, and then kicked Chen Baihu a few times, and after seeing that he was sleeping like a pig, he finally couldn't help but laugh anymore.
Then he shouted loudly: "Little people, open the city gate and send a signal, when the king enters the city, Lao Tzu will take you to eat and drink spicy food for the rest of your life, and the ladies of Yihong Courtyard will sleep a few if you want!" ”
Some of his subordinates were the mountain bandits who had returned with him back then, and some of them were the green-skinned hooligans who had been recruited in the city in recent years.
For being a traitor who opens the city gate to welcome the Tang Dynasty, there is no psychological burden at all.
Even many people were stimulated by Wang Mazi's promise, and their faces were flushed, and they all went to open the city gate with their hands and feet, and some people began to light torches and initiate the light signal agreed with the Tang army outside the city.
The huge city gate was slowly opened, and the lantern was also flashing and extinguishing to convey the signal that the city gate had been opened.
Soon Li Xuan also walked out of the tent, and then saw the lantern signal flashing on the top of the city!
The guards next to him also said to Li Xuan: "The inner guard in the city has already sent a signal, they have taken the south city gate, let us enter the city immediately?" ”
Li Xuan said with a puzzled face: "Why didn't there be any movement just now, if it was a fight, the movement should not be small!" ”
However, although Li Xuan had doubts, since Nei Ying had already sent a signal, he naturally couldn't ignore it, and soon sent an order, so that more than three hundred people who had prepared in advance rushed to the city gate, preparing to seize the south city gate.
At the same time, it is also a herald to the whole army, immediately prepare for battle, and be ready to enter the city or meet the vanguard at any time!
After Li Xuan's order was issued, more than 300 Tang Army soldiers with the second mixed battalion as the core rushed to the south city gate!
