Chapter 14: Try to fool around
Han Hu observed from the city tower that the Tartars were not coming to attack the city, so he went down and prepared to interrogate the identities of Chen Jisheng and the others.
As soon as they were let in, Tartars immediately appeared behind them, which made Hanhu suspicious. Before figuring out the identities of Chen Jisheng and the others, he didn't dare to let them go casually now.
"Tie them all up for me." As soon as Hanhu came down from the city tower, he immediately shouted.
After the order was given, more than 100 officers and soldiers defending the city immediately rushed up, and they couldn't help but say that they tied up all nine of them according to Hanhu's orders.
After Hanhu waited for his subordinates to completely control Mao Wenlong and the others, he walked towards the twenty horses with his hands behind his back and rummaged through the things on the horses' backs at will. After discovering that there were no valuables or contraband, he asked his men to lead all the horses away.
The breed of this horse looks like a good horse of the Tartars, a full twenty horses, which is also a lot of income, and it is clear that Hanhu has taken these twenty horses for himself.
Chen Jisheng and the others watched it but didn't react, in their opinion, this is perfectly normal. If the general in front of him just wanted their horses, then he should be more happy than distressed.
"General, this is a good horse in the hands of the Tartars, and none of them are of great value. Don't hide it from the general, I guess you also saw the Tartars chasing us outside. In fact, these horses were all led by us, but they were discovered by the Tartars, but fortunately we slipped quickly, and thanks to the general who let us into the city, we were able to save our lives. ”
Chen Jisheng knew in his heart that the sound of the trumpet just now was obviously the discovery of the enemy. I think it should be those Tartars who have been following him and others to chase after him.
And the attitude of the general in front of him changed sharply, and he obviously began to doubt the identity of himself and the others. Rather than waiting to be forced to ask, it is better to speak out first, at least you can guide, and the initiative will be in your own hands.
Mao Wenlong naturally saw the small way in this, and Chen Jisheng's reaction made him very satisfied.
Mao Wenlong secretly thought in his heart: "This kid is really clever and a talent!" ”
"Oh, is it really what you say?" Hanhu obviously didn't trust Chen Jisheng's words very much.
However, he will no longer have the same bad attitude as he did when he first became suspicious. At least now he has regained his composure and has not continued to speak ill of him.
Judging from the change in Hanhu's attitude, Chen Jisheng has already understood that his method will work, and he will strike while the iron is hot: "General, the little one and the young master are both businessmen, this time it is my master who wants the young master to come out to practice, otherwise he will not be so embarrassed." When those Tartars saw that it was our young master who came to do business, they deceived him into being young, and they designed to frame us, not only swallowing all our goods, but also trying to rob the young master's maidservant. ”
When Chen Jisheng said this, he paused a little weakly, and then cautiously glanced at Mao Wenlong's reaction. Seeing that he was still a little and was not angry, he continued with peace of mind: "This Tartar is insatiable, and we were forced to rob their horses and flee all the way back to Shanhaiguan. ”
Listening to this explanation, it is quite reasonable, and there are only more than 2,000 Tartars outside, Hanhu has already believed it in his heart. Just when he was hesitating whether to let Chen Jisheng and the others go like this.
Suddenly, someone on the tower of the city told Hanhu that there was a Tartar who asked to talk to him.
Hanhu frowned, didn't say anything, turned around and went up to the city tower again.
The Tartar who came to talk outside the customs was one of the two deputy generals of Wanyan, and when he chased him to Shanhaiguan, Wanyan Wolf lost the trace of Mao Wenlong and others.
Obviously, after the confirmation of Wanyan Ah Wolf's subordinates, it was learned that Mao Wenlong and others had entered Shanhaiguan. Still unwilling to let go of the murderer of the clansmen like this, after discussing with the lieutenant general, Yan Ah Wolf sent one of them to inquire.
"Hahaha, General Hanhu hasn't seen him for a long time, and he's been fine lately!" As soon as the Tartar lieutenant saw Hanhu appearing on the castle tower, he immediately laughed and greeted him.
Judging from the fact that he recognized Hanhu at a glance, this person was still an old acquaintance with Hanhu.
I saw that Hanhu was lukewarm to him, and he smiled and said: "General Wanyan Agu, I'm worried, I don't know what you are doing when you suddenly come here today!" ”
Hanhu obviously pretended to be confused, according to Chen Jisheng's description just now, this Wanyan Agu obviously came to find Chen Jisheng and the others. And he didn't say it, obviously he was not ready to sell Chen Jisheng and others.
Although Hanhu is greedy for money, he still has a bottom line, no matter what he says, Chen Jisheng has always been a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and in the case of profitability, he naturally has nothing to hesitate to stand on his side.
Besides, Chen Jisheng said just now that the twenty horses were snatched from the Tartars. Now that he has taken possession of it, if Chen Jisheng and the others are handed over, then his twenty horses will inevitably be returned to Tartar.
How can something that goes into your mouth make it fly away? Hanhu is obviously not stupid enough to be this extent.
Hearing Han Hu say this, he was embarrassed, and even if he put away his smiling face, those spies had already found out just now, and Mao Wenlong and the others had already entered the pass.
This will make Hanhu pretend to be confused as soon as he comes up, obviously unwilling to hand over people. Wanyan Agu already felt that there was no need to beat around the bush anymore.
"General Han, let me tell you the truth, we are tracking down a few murderers, and we have chased them all the way here. Based on the clues left behind, we have determined that they have fled into the castle. If General Han has any conditions, you can say it, we will discuss and discuss, and I hope you will hand over the people. ”
"Joke, I Hanhu said no, no, no, believe it or not, you can do it yourself. Also, please leave as soon as possible, if not, I will order the archery. Hanhu couldn't listen to Yan Agu's words at all, especially the threatening tone in the back half of the year made him even more unhappy.
If this Tartar army arrives, perhaps Hanhu will consider the premise of quelling the war, and consider Wanyan Agu's words. But now there are only about 2,000 people in the Tartars, and Hanhu doesn't need to give any face at all.
"Okay, since General Han is so resolute, then I will leave!" Wanyan Agu saw that he couldn't do anything, and he didn't ink, so he immediately rushed back to tell him.
"Hmph, something!"
Hanhu snorted disdainfully, told the people on the city tower to watch closely, and went down the city tower alone.
This time, he did not embarrass Mao Wenlong and others, but simply asked someone to loosen the tie for them.
"You all go, but General Ben will take the twenty horses, you have no opinion, right?" After Han Hu and others loosened their ties, they spoke bluntly.
Mao Wenlong personally stepped forward, saluted him and said with a smile: "Now that we are safe, all of this is saved by the general, just twenty horses, not enough to worry about." ”
