Chapter 257: Beitou
Ten days later, on the rugged plank road from Wulian County, Jianzhou, Sichuan, to the direction of Jiange, more than ten horses galloped, and the flying horses' hooves raised the dust on the ground, making the official road more and more dilapidated because no one had repaired it for a long time, and it was almost impossible to see the figure on the horse.
The horses passed like the wind, and there was no trace of them beside the road.
Like a gray dragon, swimming among the lofty mountains, there seems to be such a living creature in the mountains, and on both sides of the official road, whether it is the ruined village or the abandoned castle on the top of the nearby mountain, there is no sign of human settlement.
Jin Rucheng covered his face with a sackcloth to ward off the almost breathless dust, and if he tore off the sackcloth, others would definitely be able to see that he was very unhappy at the moment.
A face was tense, the eyes were vicious as if they were about to erupt flames, the big mouth was tightly closed, and the eyes were cold and full of fire.
He couldn't help but be angry because he had been threatened.
But he couldn't get angry at that person, because the other party was Wang Kui and Changsun Hong.
The two of them pinched his heart.
Jin Rucheng glanced back, and swept over the dozen or so gangsters who were looming in the smoke and dust behind him, these people were all his henchmen, brothers who had been killed in life and death for many years.
"Someone must have leaked the news." A sharp murderous aura flashed in his eyes, but more than that, there was a gloom that he couldn't let go.
The news that his wife and children are in Kuizhou, only these dead brothers who have passed through the hands know, and now that Wang Kui and Changsun Hong are threatening themselves, someone must have betrayed the news.
Of course, he couldn't solve the case.
First, there is no time, and second, even if you know who said it, you can't kill people.
The eldest grandson Hong's barbarian said very clearly, if he, Jin Rucheng, wanted to investigate this matter, it would be equivalent to tearing his face, then the money and family he had saved in his life would not be seen again for the rest of his life.
What a naked threat!
Jin Rucheng has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and has dealt with countless bigwigs, when has he ever suffered such a loss?
Shrewd as Gui Ruyuan and the like, dealing with characters like Jin Rucheng pay attention to the equal sticking of interests, and will not use violence and unequal rights to suppress, everyone is willing to cooperate with each other and make a fortune together.
But Changsun Hong is different, this guy directly copied the knife and put it on Jin Rucheng's neck.
Recalling the sinister and cunning expression of Changsun Hong's face that night when the hair on his mouth had not grown, and the words that were extremely tough and seductive, Jin Rucheng felt uncomfortable.
Changsun Hong said, you have to do it, and you have to do it if you don't do it.
Follow my eldest grandson Hong, it is my eldest grandson Hong's friend, to friends like spring warmth, with your glory and wealth, the northern land private salt will be all given to you, others can't touch the edge, you Jin Rucheng alone to make a fortune.
If you don't follow me, then you kid will be my enemy, and you will be as cruel to the enemy as winter, first take your family and cut it to your eyes one by one, and you will be helpless, and then confiscate your family property, and finally cut you to death.
Jin Rucheng is not afraid of death, and he is not afraid of others threatening him with death.
When someone else said this, he was about to flip the table and get a knife.
But when Changsun Hong said this, he sat there honestly and did not move.
Although he was very angry when he looked at the appearance of the eldest grandson Hongda's stabbing stab, Jin Rucheng did not dare to move.
Because as soon as the eldest grandson Hong entered the door, he dropped two things on the table.
A very delicate jade hairpin and a very beautiful long-life lock.
It was the belongings of his little wife and little son.
So after Changsun Hong finished speaking, he simply knelt down on one knee and chose to be a mortal friend with Changsun Hong.
"When you come back, your family will be happy to greet you." Changsun Hong sat on a chair, drinking tea, leisurely like a peacekeeper: "As long as you do what I say, everything will be beautiful." ”
Beautiful you are big!
Jin Rucheng slapped the horse's ass fiercely, and the healthy horse under his crotch neighed, a little faster.
The dragon danced, turned into a puff of turbid smoke, and spread into the distance.
…….
At the same time, Chengdu Chengtou.
Standing on the towering north gate tower, you can look far away.
This is the most majestic and tall gatehouse in the twelve gates of Chengdu, the building is ten zhang high, two zhang thick, the Longquan mountain of a water is made of stone, it is extremely solid, a bed crossbow is erected on the battlement, it adds a little bit of murderous intent.
The flags at the head of the city are displayed, reflecting the busy soldiers on the construction sites of the city walls on both sides. People shouted trumpets, along the horse road at the head of the wall to lift heavy stones, the bullock and strong horses dragged the carts, the simple cranes creaked, the wheelbarrows up and down, the voices of people, cars, and animals complemented each other, and the scene of a large construction site was fully transmitted into the city tower with sound effects.
Wang Kui and Changsun Hong sat on the second floor, with two mats and wine opposite.
Kneeling and sitting is not a matter at all for Changsun Hong, who has been trained by Zhou Fuzi, and Wang Kui is not a serious literati, and his posture sitting on the mat is very ugly.
The two drank wine and talked.
Wang Kui was laughing, holding a small wine glass and said: "Jin Rucheng has probably arrived in Jianzhou now, and he will be able to enter the Sword Pavilion in the afternoon, I hope that when he meets the Mongols, the expression on his face will not be too ugly, otherwise he will probably be killed on the spot by the Mongols with even more ugly faces." ”
"Then you're underestimating him." The eldest grandson Hong comfortably raised his head and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, smashed his mouth, and seemed not very satisfied with the quality of the wine: "This kind of old rivers and lakes, it is faster to change your face and be turned over by the book...... You've mixed this wine with water, right? ”
"Whose wine doesn't mix with water?" Wang Kui's face didn't blush: "What do you hope he can get back with you?" ”
Changsun Hong put the cup on the low table, looked at the wine jug on the side, endured it, but still dispelled the idea of having another glass, and said in his mouth: "Taiping." ”
Wang Kui frowned: "This idea is too big. ”
"It's not big, it's normal." The eldest grandson turned his head towards the door, and from here, through the door without a door, he could see the flat field in the distance.
"It's good that he can be a good person and pass on some information to us." Wang Kui sighed and poured himself another glass of wine, he wanted to reach out to help Changsun Hong pour a glass, but was stopped.
"It depends on whether he is shrewd enough, I have already given him a general direction, and I can't pass it if it's too detailed, because there are too many uncontrollable factors, the situation is changing rapidly, and no one knows what will happen next." Changsun Hong pinched the cup in his hand.
"This wine is actually very good, just drink another glass and you'll know." Wang Kui tried to change Changsun Hong's opinion of the water and wine he brought, and said, "Is it useful for you to let him go through Yelu Chucai to take the line of Brother Temu?" ”
"I don't know, it depends on Jin Rucheng's ability." Changsun Hong's gaze became far-reaching, staring at the distant wilderness, with a deep sense of thought in his eyes.
"Brother Temujin is Temujin's brother, a general with outstanding military achievements, and he is very good with Beiyu Sijie Borshu and Mu Huali, and he himself heard that he also has ambitions, and Ogedai made a little trouble at the beginning of his succession, and it is possible to incite him to make trouble." Wang Kui played with the wine glass, and glanced at Changsun Hong from time to time: "But over the years, Temujin's sons have firmly held the military power, although Brother Temujin is Genghis Khan's brother, it is unlikely that it will set off too much storm, otherwise he should have succeeded at the beginning of Wokotai's succession." ”
"That's because he's stupid!" Changsun Hong shook his head and snorted coldly: "The barbarians will only use their hands to be tough, and when it comes to power and trickery, they are still 108,000 miles away from us." ”
"So you sent Jin Rucheng over to help him rebel?" Wang Kui pondered: "Jin Rucheng doesn't have this ability yet, I'm afraid that he will lose a fine work in vain." ”
"Of course Jin Rucheng can't." Changsun Hong smiled and said, "If he can have this ability, he won't be able to get along in Tubo." ”
Wang Kui looked at his smiling face, like a peeking in the fog, and asked hesitantly: "What ......?"
Changsun Hong didn't let him guess much, and gently put down the cup in his hand, the fine porcelain wine glass was as white as jade, and collided with the vermilion lacquer slightly, making a soft "pop" sound.
"He can't, I can. I'll go over when he's on the line. ”
The speech is flat, like a murmur of flowing water.
Wang Kui hit his chest like a hammer, froze all of a sudden, looked at him blankly, his expression froze on his face, and the wine glass in his hand "touched" and fell on the mat.
The wine flows sideways, and although it is mixed with water, it still carries a faint aroma in all directions.
