Chapter 2: Chasing the Deer (Part 4I)

Since there is no other choice, the means taken are naturally exhaustive. The three of you, one word at a time, and one word at a time, according to the strength in their hands, made a rather detailed plan as much as possible. Then he turned around again, went back to his head and went back and forth a few times, making sure that the omissions had been reduced to the point that he could not be reduced any longer, and then began to implement it.

In the Dou family's army, Wang Fubao has made great contributions, and he has always won the support of the soldiers. This acquittal has already put everyone in danger in the army. Dou Jiande himself also understood that he was not playing very beautifully, in order to avoid the mutiny of the soldiers and affecting his founding ceremony, so he simply sent the generals who had a good relationship with Wang Fubao, such as Shi Zan , Yin Qiu and others, to other places on business. Then, in the name of rotation training, he asked his wife, his uncle, the hussar general Cao Dan, to lead troops to Qinghe to take over all defenses.

And Cao Dan is just a brave and unscrupulous person, shrewd when fighting for power and profit, how can he know what priority is at other times. After taking over the defense of Qinghe City, with a wave of his hand, he placed all his subordinates who looked pleasing to the eye in key positions. Jiang Bailing, as a pro-soldier team, is exactly the one that Cao Dan looks like and strives to promote, so he is assigned to be fully responsible for the security of the post house, and is responsible for monitoring the every move of Cheng Mingzhen and Wang Ermao.

Pulling Cao Dan's tiger skin as a banner, Jiang Bailing passed on the news, and naturally achieved twice the result with half the effort. It didn't take long for the warrant written by Cheng Mingzhen to be stuffed into Wu Tianxi's hand. Wu Tianxi was taken aback when he saw it. With the intuition accumulated over the years, I know that everyone is facing the threshold of nine deaths and one life today. After hurriedly confirming the authenticity of the warrant, he immediately searched for a confusion, and the enthronement gift for Dou Jiande needed to be replaced, so he followed Jiang Bailing to the school field on the grounds that he needed to be replaced.

In the past two days, there have been a lot of greeting guests in the city, and strange faces can be seen everywhere on the streets. Although Wu Tianxi is burly, he is not very eye-catching compared to the personal guards of Zhu Can, Wang Bo and others. With Jiang Bailing personally leading the way, he smoothly blended into the school field. I colluded with 200 guards, and I just waited for the third watch to act according to the plan.

Finished delivering the message for Cheng Mingzhen. Jiang Bailing hurried to his own place and told everyone about the recent plans. He was so busy in the city that he didn't touch his feet, so he naturally felt that time flew by. Wang Ermao and Cheng Mingzhen were bored in the post house, and their buttocks were like sitting on pins and needles, and they couldn't wait to see it dark immediately.

The more anxious you are, the more trouble you have to come to the door. The sun had just set, and there was a sudden commotion in the inn. Dou Jiande's sister Dou Hongxian broke into the door with two female soldiers.

"Oh my mother! This aunt and grandmother took the wrong medicine again today! Wang Ermao was so anxious that he slapped his thigh. He didn't have a good impression of Dou Jiande's sister. If it weren't for Dou Hongxian's regret of marriage, Wang Fubao would have been Dou Jiande's sister-in-law a long time ago. With this in-law relationship, Dou Jiande will no longer use Cao Dan to replace Wang Fubao, let alone Dou Jiajun, causing today's crisis.

"Leave her alone. Let's take a look at the snake first. If she gets in the way, she happens to have one more hostage in her hand! At this moment, Cheng Mingzhen can't care about any old people. Take Wang Ermao out of the door with a heart.

Without waiting for the two of them to come forward and salute, Dou Hongxian took the first step and squatted down to make a blessing, and then said with a smile: "Little sister, I heard that Brother Cheng is here, so I came over to take a look." Don't call me the county lord, or I'm going to get goosebumps! ”

As soon as she said this, Cheng Mingzhen and Wang Ermao's courtesy of the two monarchs and ministers could no longer continue, so they had to take half a step on their sides, clasped their fists with both hands, and said with a smile: "How can it be, this is a post house, not a court." You've been okay lately, and Juan Zi talked to me about you before I came! ”

"Thank you, Sister Juanzi. It's just that I'm really lazy as a sister. It's so close, but I haven't found time to pay a visit! When he mentioned the red line of the cuckoo sinus, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then quickly dimmed. I haven't seen her in the past two years, and she has faintly brought out the aura of wealth and nobility. Although the demeanor is still as bold as before, the words are very courteous and polite.

It's just that this down-and-out and generous appearance is not as cute as the original wild girl in Cheng Mingzhen's eyes. Therefore, the more vigilant he was, smiled and replied very respectfully, "That's not possible." I should have come to see you. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many things at home, I would have brought her with me this time! ”

These words are well said and not dry, and both the guest and the host feel uncomfortable. Dou Hongxian sighed, knowing that it was no longer possible for them to get along as well as they did back then. Shaking his head with a wry smile, he added in a low voice: "Actually, I am a disaster star, and I bring a lot of trouble wherever I go." So it's better to stay away from you and Sister Juanzi. Brother Cheng, I'm here to ask you for something this time..."As he spoke, his eyes turned red unconsciously.

Rao is Cheng Mingzhen is well-informed, and he was also shaken by Dou Hongxian's drooping appearance. Quickly turned his head to the other side and half of his body and promised: "If you have anything, just say it directly." As long as I can, I'll do my best to help! ”

Dou Hongxian wiped a handful of tears with the back of his hand, and forced a smile to suggest, "Brother Cheng, can I come into the house and say?" Don't be the county lord of what kind of county you are, just think I'm the sister of Sister Juanzi! ”

"How dare you disobey the county lord's orders!" Cheng Mingzhen secretly glanced at Wang Ermao, and then smiled and let go of the door.

Dou Hongxian immediately stepped into the house, stepped on the threshold, turned his head to his two female guards, and ordered: "You two go to guard the gate of the hospital, and don't let a fly in without my order." If anyone dares to break in, just use the knife for me! ”

Now it's a bit like the little crazy girl back then. Cheng Mingzhen shook his head with a smile and followed Dou Hongxian into the house. As soon as the guest and host sat down, Dou Hongxian immediately confided his intentions and said, "Brother Cheng, I really can't help it this time." I asked a lot of people to intercede, and I had trouble with my brother several times. But he just wouldn't let go......"

"What's the matter, do you mean the lord? He won't promise you anything! Although he wished that the other party would leave immediately, Cheng Mingzhen still asked patiently.

"You don't know? Brother Wang was arrested by my brother! Dou Hongxian immediately jumped up, and his eyes with tears opened wide. Why don't you know he's your sworn brother?! ”

"I just entered the city and haven't gotten permission from the prince yet?" Cheng Mingzhen smiled bitterly and shook his head. I admired the dullness of Dou Hongxian in my heart. The thicker Wang Fubao's friendship with him, the more Dou Jiande naturally wants to hide from himself. Otherwise, if he took the Zhaozhou battalion to replace Wang Fubao and Dou Jiande, wouldn't he face a lot of trouble?

But he couldn't say this to Dou Hongxian. The closest relatives are only brothers, fathers and sons. No matter how dissatisfied he is with his brother in his heart, Dou Hongxian can't escape a Dou character in his surname. She scolded her own brother, if outsiders said that Dou Jiande was not good in front of her, she would have to pull out the knife immediately.

Dou Hongxian didn't know that Cheng Mingzhen had so many twists and turns in his heart, wiped his tears and continued: "Brother Wang has been arrested for several days. It was locked up in a house behind the Confucius Temple. I thought you already knew, but I didn't expect my brother to hide you so much! ”

"The lord may have his considerations!" Cheng Mingzhen smiled bitterly and perfunctorily.

"Aren't you going to my brother to intercede for Brother Wang?" Dou Hongxian immediately stood up in protest. "I think it's probably best to intercede. Last year, if you hadn't opened the way to retreat, the eldest brother might not have been able to withdraw from Boling! He has always told me that he is grateful for your merits, and he has always told me that among all the people in the Dou family, he admires you the most! ”

"You don't know how different your brother's way of thanking someone is!" Cheng Mingzhen slandered in his heart, but continued to smile bitterly: "I'm just an outgoing county guard, and it may not matter much if I speak." Besides, you have to tell me what Brother Wang has done first! ”

"Brother Wang didn't do anything at all!" Dou Hongxian blushed and lowered his head in response. "He just said a few inappropriate words, but it's not a capital offense, right?"

"What did Brother Wang say?" Wang Ermao really couldn't stand Dou Hongxian's words, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Dou Hongxian glanced at him with tears in his eyes, and then said in a low voice: "Brother Wang said that we shouldn't rush into a war with the Boling army. He also said that he also said that this kind of battle is not interesting to fight or lose. Back then, it was fun to fight the Turks on the Great Wall! ”

That's right! Cheng Mingzhen suddenly realized. Whether it is Dou Jiande or other princes, what they need most at this moment is an eagle dog who is ordered to go, and Wang Fubao does have too many thoughts in his heart. With a long sigh, he explained to Dou Hongxian from Dou Jiande's point of view: "Brother Wang is indeed a little wronged. But this can't be blamed entirely on the lord. Think about it, if this war-weariness is not suppressed, how will our Dou Jiajun gain a foothold in the future? But this little thing is difficult to cure Brother Wang's sin. I guess the lord just wants to teach Brother Wang a lesson, and he will be released in a few days to continue to lead the troops. Instead of looking for someone everywhere to find a way, you should go to Brother Wang and persuade him to admit his mistake to the Lord. They have always trusted each other, find a staircase and it's over! ”

"It's not like that, it's not like this!" Dou Hongxian was so anxious that he stomped his feet again and again. "My brother is serious this time. I've seen Brother Wang even put on handcuffs and shackles. The iron bars of the windows and doorways are as thick as an arm! ”

According to this, Cheng Mingzhen knew that Jiang Bailing did not deceive himself. Dou Jiande did have murderous intentions towards Wang Fubao. This made him a little embarrassed. If you don't agree to Dou Hongxian, it will be difficult to beat this stupid girl away for a while. But if he agrees, the word will reach Dou Jiande's ears, and I'm afraid that tonight's plan to rob the prison will be interfered with.

Seeing that Cheng Mingzhen's face was full of hesitation, Dou Hongxian couldn't help but feel on fire. He stomped his feet and scolded in a low voice: "Brother Wang still treats you as a brother." I didn't expect you to have no responsibility at all. Forget it, I didn't come. I will beg my brother again, but he refuses to let go of Brother Wang, and I will also pay for my life! ”

"At the beginning, you refused to marry Brother Wang!" Now it's time to be a good guy again! Cheng Mingzhen scolded in his heart. The expression on his face was still very solemn: "I will definitely ask the lord to intercede with Brother Wang." But it's hard to say if the lord is willing to give me this face. If you can still contact someone else, you might want to ask today. Tomorrow, I will see the lord and everyone together to protect Brother Wang! ”

This is already a very obvious hint of send-off. But Dou Hongxian didn't listen to his ears at all, gritted his teeth, and took out an arrow from his sleeve. "I would definitely find someone else. But Brother Cheng, you have to help me with this. Once my brother refuses to agree to let Brother Wang go, you will take this arrow and secretly get Brother Wang away. Let's go to your camp in Zhaozhou for a few days and wait for my brother's anger to subside......"

Isn't this a blatant attempt to encourage me to rebel? Cheng Mingzhen was dumbfounded. It took a while to confirm that Dou Hongxian was not joking with herself. Hurriedly swayed his hands back and forth like a windmill, "I can't help it, this is the crime of deceiving the king." Even if I have the courage, I don't dare to deceive the lord! ”

"It's not you who deceive the king, it's me who deceives the king. I stole the arrows, and I gave the order. You're just an executor! Dou Hongxian didn't know that Cheng Mingzhen was playing sloppy with himself, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, "Brother Cheng, little sister knelt down for you." I'm already sorry for Brother Wang, once I can't let him give up his life if he says anything this time. I know I'm stupid and causing trouble everywhere. But I can't be a human being without a conscience......"

Tears crackled down his face as he said this. Cheng Mingzhen knew that Dou Hongxian's words were from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but feel pity for this silly girl. Take Wang Fubao away, take Wang Fubao away, can you and Wang Fubao still be able to get back? Sighing again, he stepped forward and held Dou Hongxian's arm up with both hands: "Aren't you forcing me?" Later, if Dou Wang Yebing comes to ask me for sin, what will I do? The sin of deceitful kings, the sin of deceitful kings! ”

"If my brother is angry, I will bear it with all my might, and I will never drag you down! If it is said that it can't be done, the sky will thunder and split," Dou Hongxian stood up and raised his hand to swear.

Cheng Mingzhen was waiting for this sentence, stepped forward and grabbed the arrow in his hand, feeling guilty and excited. With this talisman tonight, the chances of saving Wang Fubao have increased by a few points, at least it is no longer a problem to open the city gate. After that, Dou Jiande was furious, Dou Hongxian, this stupid girl was mixed in the middle, and she didn't fight for a while. And the more time left for oneself to prepare, the greater the possibility that Xiangguo County will protect itself......

It's just that this is a little too sorry for Dou Hongxian, after all, she was kept in the dark from head to toe in this matter. peeking at the stupid girl, Cheng Mingzhen felt pity in his heart.

"You promised!" Seeing that Cheng Mingzhen grabbed the red line of Ling Jiandou, he finally burst into tears and laughed.

Cheng Mingzhen nodded lightly: "Well, I'll try my best." It's getting late, the county lord, please hurry up and contact the others. Let's get through the first hurdle tomorrow morning! ”

"I knew that Brother Cheng was a responsible man and would not disappoint his friends!" Dou Hongxian wiped his eyes and praised with a smile. The trust in my heart between my eyes is simply undaring!
