Chapter 25: Calculation within Calculation (1)
Song Zhong was beaten to the point that his skin was torn apart and he was mercilessly thrown out of the camp gate. The servants who followed him were carried into the carriage. This is the result of Xu Chu's deliberate confession not to hurt his life. Otherwise, with Song Zhong's physique, he would definitely die within ten sticks. Song Zhong lay on the carriage and looked at Cao Ying resentfully. Every time the carriage jolted, there would be a heart-piercing pain in the buttocks.
"Xu Chu, you wait for me. One day, I will tear you into pieces with my own hands. Solve the hatred in my heart!! ”
The carriage headed all the way east, in the direction of Jizhou......
Li Ming is a petty official at the east gate of Jizhou. He was originally Zhang He's old department. At the end of the Battle of Guandu, he was unwilling to surrender with Zhang He, and with Yuan Shao returning to Jizhou, he originally thought that his loyalty would move Yuan Shao. Since then, he has been promoted to the knighthood, but he didn't expect Yuan Shao to be angry with him because of Zhang He's surrender. If it weren't for everyone's extreme intercession, Yuan Shao would have beheaded him immediately. From then on, he became a city gate official. Nobody cares. Someone once asked him to go to Zhang He again, but Li Ming refused, saying that now he has no face to see Zhang He...
Since then, Li Ming has been able to get by. Drink and have fun every day, get drunk and dream of death. but also pure...
In the evening of this day, it was almost completely dark. Li Ming, as usual, had two empty wine jars in front of him. At this moment, someone from his subordinates came to report:
"My lord, there is a carriage outside the city gate. He claimed to be the head of the General's Mansion, Shi Song Zhong, Lord Song. But he didn't get out of the car to verify his identity, and he didn't let the carriage be checked, and the brothers didn't dare to let him into the city!! ”
Li Ming was already a little drunk, and he probably understood. He staggered a little and stood up, put his arm on the man's shoulder, and said:
"Let's go! Check it out!! ”
Song Zhong lay on his stomach in the carriage, and the severe pain made his face distort slightly. At this moment, he was extremely angry in his heart. His token can't even enter the city, and he has to verify his identity in person. It's okay usually, but now it's like this. If others see it, I'm afraid it will become a laughing stock from now on. He wanted to kill the people guarding the city now, even though he knew that the order to enter the city to be checked was personally given by him after discussing with Yuan Shang.
With a roar, the gates opened. Li Ming led two teams of soldiers out of the city and walked quickly towards the carriage.
"Just let your chief come alone, and the rest will stop!!"
The servant in front of the carriage said in a loud voice.
Li Ming's eyes froze, since he became a city gate official, the servants of those big officials didn't want to look at him squarely. There will even be people who will be sarcastic, and he has always swallowed his anger. At this time, the servant drank loudly, and the wine came up. Li Ming shouted angrily:
"Dog and human things, let your master get out of the car and see you. Otherwise, it will be punished as a spy!! ”
As he spoke, Li Ming pulled out the sword in his hand. All the soldiers behind him instantly pointed their spears at the carriage. Where had the servant seen this formation, his body trembled suddenly, and he said in a trembling voice:
"The general forgives the sin, it is really inconvenient for my family to get out of the car to meet him, and please come here in person!"
Li Ming stopped talking nonsense and quickly surrounded the carriage with his soldiers. He himself walked up to the carriage and said:
"I don't know who it is, please get off the bus!"
Song Zhong was lying in the car, and he even felt pain every time he breathed. At this point, he felt the greatest insult he had ever received. He had the heart to get out of the car and beat the man. But he really couldn't move, he suppressed the anger that was about to erupt in his heart, and said in a slight trembling voice:
"I'm Song Zhong, come quickly. Otherwise, you do so at your own risk!! ”
Li Ming didn't hesitate any longer, walked to the front of the car, and lifted the curtain. I saw a person lying in the car, his face distorted, maybe it was too dark. Or maybe the wine was strong, Li Ming didn't see it clearly. He turned to the soldiers behind him and said:
"Bring the torch!!"
Song Zhong felt as if his chest was about to explode, as if he had been stripped naked and had to be carefully watched by others. He roared angrily, taking advantage of Li Ming's head to get into the carriage. used all his strength to slap Li Ming hard.
"You don't know how to live or die, you're looking for !! death"
Li Ming's ears were buzzing, and for a moment now, he could see the person's appearance clearly. I seem to have seen it, and it is indeed a person from the General's Mansion. Li Ming bent down and bowed:
"Please forgive your sins, and I will do what I am told. Had to pay for !! ”
Song Zhong was almost fainting in pain because of the slap just now.
"Good one is doing what is ordered, you wait. If I don't play you to death in the future, I won't be surnamed Song!! ”
The carriage drove all the way to the city, and from time to time there was an angry roar, and I don't know if it was angry. It still hurts......
After Yuan Shang learned that Song Zhong had returned, he came to Song Zhong's room as soon as possible. At the moment, the military doctor is giving him medicine. Every movement would make Song Zhong snort miserably...
Yuan Shang stepped forward, took the medicine from the military doctor's hand, and personally smeared it on it. Song Zhong's body trembled. hurriedly said:
"The lord can't, no!"
"Sir, please don't move, can you tell me why this is happening?!"
Song Zhong let out a long sigh.
"Hey, lord, Xu Chu is a wilderness horseman. He didn't listen to me at all, first deliberately not seeing, and then verbally abusing him when he met. He scolded me, but he actually said, said...... Ay!!!! ”
Yuan Shang paused his hands and asked gloomily:
"What do you say?!"
"He said that as long as the lord took his surname Xu, he could become a family, so that he could agree to conspire with the lord for great things!!
The medicine in Yuan Shang's hand was unconsciously pinched into a ball, and he threw it fiercely. But in exchange for a miserable scream from Song Zhong in front of him.
"Xu Chuxiaoer, dare to insult me like this!! However, Mr. can see the messenger of Qingzhou?! ”
Song Zhong was smashed by Yuan Shang just now, and the tears of pain were about to come out. Forced to endure and said intermittently:
"It seems, it seems to be, but it was beaten with a stick, and I saw the man... The man went in the direction of Qingzhou, it should be! ”
"The arrogant and stupid horseman, with only 50,000 horses, dares to do this. Sir, rest well, wait, I will personally avenge you!! ”
Yuan Shang shook his sleeves and left...
