Chapter 590: Burning Angels
Wang Shoucheng finally approved the edict drafted by Xiao Yan word for word, selected Zhou Hong, the deputy envoy of Feilong, as the envoy, and went to Hengzhou with the edict.
Wang Yu listened to the proclamation outside the hall of the Jiedu Embassy, trembling on the ground, and even said that he was guilty, Zhou Hong saw that he had scared a teenager into trembling, and he inevitably felt a little funny. Thinking of the tens of thousands of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals, even the imperial court can't be subdued, how can they really grovel to a yellow-mouthed child
Sure enough, as soon as he moved his eyes, he saw a piercing gaze, which came from a person named Wang Chengsu, although he knelt behind Wang Yu, he was undoubtedly the true master of Chengde.
It can be seen that Wang Chengsu is not respectful to himself, Zhou Hong suddenly hated this guy who doesn't know each other, even in Chang'an City, his deputy envoy of the flying dragon is also a well-known figure, those Shangshu, squires, generals, and generals have to pay a smile when they see themselves, and you dare not buy your own account.
Zhou held his breath, and when Dai Tian asked Wang Yu, his tone unconsciously worsened, and the frightened ten-year-old child was covered with sweat, almost fainting, and then peeking at Wang Chengsu, his face was flushed, but he didn't dare to attack because of the large number of people.
Zhou Hong felt a little better in his heart, you are with me, I will give you a little look, today is to scold your master, this is called knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, you don't know each other anymore, I will directly point at your face and scold, call you faceless, a person who is scolded by the court and has no face, see how you mix in the town
Since shaking his majesty in public, Zhou Hong found that Wang Chengsu's attitude towards him suddenly became respectful, his red face turned into a smiling face, and his waist was not as straight as when he first arrived in Hengzhou, slightly bent. At the grand reception banquet, Wang Chengsu even took the initiative to ask for a sword dance to add to the fun.
Zhou Hong laughed in his heart, this cheap bone, the old lady doesn't give you some color to see, you and I are vegetarians.
Wang Chengsu's former condescension made many people not understand, and everyone speculated that he was trying to take care of the overall situation, after all, Hengzhou now has a handle in the hands of the imperial court, once he turns his face and makes trouble, he can only suffer a loss, and now he still takes patience as the key, and is polite to this imperial envoy who does not know the height of the sky, coaxing him not to do bad things, the big husband can stretch and bend, and what is it to be wronged.
This speculation was quickly responded to by Wang Chengsu himself, and he said that he was taking the overall situation into account and not having the same knowledge as Zhou Hong, otherwise according to his violent temper, he would have cut off this half-male and non-female goods in two.
Only one person watched coldly and saw through his thoughts.
Wang Tingcuo insisted that Wang Chengsu's true intentions were not as high-sounding as he said, and this fool who was eager to repay and thought he was smart would definitely do something that surprised the public. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; For example, he used a board knife to cut Zhou Hong in two, and then blamed him.
Even Wang Tingcuo's confidants don't believe this statement.
Wang Chengsu dared to kill the angels from Chang'an Don't tease it in Hengzhou, this is tantamount to rebellion Speaking of rebellion, there is a tradition in Chengde, all kinds of rebel heroes are as bright as the stars, and they are a grand spectacle, but what is the current situation The new master is weak and weak, and the confrontation between the two males in Hengzhou City is about to break out. In addition to Chengde, there is Li Mao in the north and Tian Huaizhi in the south, all of them are eyeing each other, and Hengzhou is in danger
At this juncture, you have to endure humiliation, and the court has to continue to fart, how dare you make such a big move, annoying the imperial court, a paper edict, Hengzhou City may encounter a catastrophe every second.
Everyone didn't believe it, but Wang Tingcuo firmly believed it, he believed in his own judgment, Wang Chengsu was a person he looked at deadly, and he had so much money in his heart, he would definitely do it smartly.
Sure enough, it will be good for whom, but it will never benefit the imperial court, but it will never get any benefit, so it can only be cheapened Youzhou Li Mao and Weizhou Tian Huaiji, these two opponents are already very strong, and they can't be cheapened anymore.
Wang Tingcao was determined to pull Zhou Hong.
Zhou Hong lives in the most luxurious pavilion in Hengzhou, accompanied by the two most famous people in Hengzhou, which is in response to the sentence: what is lacking to show off, it is precisely because of the lack of normal people's ability that Zhou Hong looks at the word female color more than ordinary men. Whenever you go to a place, you will have to meet the local red head card to prove that you are not disabled.
On this day, he was sitting and eating wine with the two of them, and Zhou Fu slid in nervously, and the wooden stake was like a pestle there. Zhou Hong was very annoyed by the gaffe of his entourage, and was about to reprimand, when he suddenly saw Zhou Fu's face covered with sweat and pale, he was taken aback, and took the note in his hand and looked at it, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
The wine didn't have the heart to drink anymore, and was about to send the two back, but suddenly changed his mind and placed the two in separate rooms, but beckoned Zhou Fu to come over and whispered a few words.
As soon as the sky was dark, a group of warriors without any signs quietly surrounded the post house where Zhou Hong lived, everyone not only carried bows and crossbows, but also some bottles and jars, which were filled with fierce fire oil that could be burned on the skin of water, and the purpose of their trip was to take advantage of the dead of night to light a fire to the post house and shoot Zhou Hong in chaos.
Although the sky is dark, there are still a lot of people in and out of the post house, and in order to show the importance of Zhou Hong and his party, Wang Yu has to send vegetables, tea, soup, and fruits almost every other stick of incense, until late at night.
Every time the giver goes in, Zhou Hong's personal entourage Zhou Fu will go to the door to send it, Zhou Hong's score is very large, but his entourage is a guy who is familiar with personal feelings, and treats people humbly and politely, and is a group of harmony.
In order to prevent the people inside from mixing with the people who give gifts, there is a checkpoint on the street not far from the post house, in the name of protecting the safety of the imperial envoy, the people and chariots and horses entering and leaving the post house are strictly checked, not to mention people, even a mouse is not to hide.
The last group of people sent a few fresh fish in, kept for tomorrow morning to make fish soup, Zhou Fu still sent people away in a friendly manner, stood at the door and stretched lazily when he turned around, and then looked at the sky, beckoned the guards of the forbidden army from Chang'an to close the door, it was too late, and then the gift could not be accepted.
There were about 30 guards of the forbidden army escorting the imperial envoy, all of whom were brightly dressed and armored, with big shoulders and round waists, but in the border army of Chengde, they were originally a group of wine bags and rice bags, which were easy to deal with.
A man with a scar on his face waved his hand vigorously, and the warriors hidden in the shadows appeared one after another, and immediately surrounded the post house, they set up a human ladder, climbed over the towering and thick wall, and sneaked into the post house, with light movements, which did not alarm Li Mao's guards at all, and the warriors gathered outside the door opened their bows and crossbows, ready to shoot.
As soon as the posture was opened, the post house was blazing, the smoke was billowing out, and suddenly people were neighing, and the front and rear doors were opened at the same time, no matter the virtuous and the foolish, the swarming outwards, the guards who were ambushed in the dark stared nervously widening their eyes, staring at the people who poured out, Zhou Hong's score was very large, and there were always a large number of people around him, which was easy to distinguish.
The wind was high and the smoke was billowing out, and the people in the post house were soon empty, and even the two famous prostitutes in the city who were called in to accompany Zhou Hong were also snatched out with the support of the nanny.
The strange thing is that I have never seen Zhou Hong's face, how can there be no Zhou Hong, he has flown away, or he has been buried in the sea of fire, so that the fire has burned to ashes Not only did he not see him, but he also didn't see the fat Zhou Fu, which is really strange.
The scar-faced man became more and more agitated, and with a wave of his hand, several people around him suddenly jumped over the wall. At this time, the fire in the post house has been completed, there is no room and no fire, the fire and smoke, people can not approach at all. Most of the people who climbed over the wall and set fire to it have withdrawn with the fleeing brigade, and a small number of people are still searching for targets everywhere, but they have found nothing.
The people who escaped from the fire by luck broke up, and some people turned around and prepared to fight the fire, but the fire was raging, and no one could get close, so they had to shout and scream around the post house, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Looking for people everywhere, everyone came back to report, the scar-faced man had bruises on his forehead, suddenly drew a knife in his hand, and shouted: "If you can't kill him, none of us will survive to listen to my orders: all men over 20 years old will be shot." ”
Zhou Hong and Zhou Fu are human beings, not gods, it is impossible to fly to the sky, and there is no secret passage in the post house, the only possibility for them to escape is to get out of the crowd and escape from the chaos.
If this is the case, it proves that they have sensed that someone is trying to harm them, and they will not be able to stay behind.
The frightened crowd who had just escaped from the fire suddenly encountered a catastrophe, and immediately screamed and scurried, colliding with the nearby soldiers and civilians who rushed to fight the fire, and made a mess.
The arrows flew wildly, the cold knives were shining, not to mention that ordinary people had no backhand power, even the soldiers of the forbidden army from Chang'an were also vulnerable, and they fell to the arrows one after another.
There was a Chengde Ya army stationed near the post house, but because they did not get the order from the peak, they did not send reinforcements, but the Yingmo army in the distance saw the fire in the post house, and sent two hundred strong people to come to the rescue, and saw that someone in the chaotic crowd was killing people with knives, and immediately helped. The Yingmo army is known for its courage and good fighting, and these two hundred sergeants are the elite specially arranged by Wang Tingcuo.
Unexpectedly, these killers are not only strong in martial arts, but also highly disciplined, and the two games are opponents in chess, and it is difficult to kill them.
The Yingmo army, which was stationed in the distance, also received a report and sent reinforcements over, and suddenly there were flags outside the post house, gathering thousands of people. Jie Du made Wang Yu hear the confrontation between the two armies outside the post house, turned over and got on his horse to drink, walked to the door and suddenly changed his mind, turned back to the lobby and sat down, ordered Wang Chengsu to come to see, and sent someone to invite Wang Ting to come to the Shuaifu to meet.
When the two heard Wang Yu's call, they hurriedly got on their horses and hurried over, arguing their grievances, claiming that they were going to fight the fire, and had no other meaning.
Wang Yu said: "It must have been done by the gang in the Gale Stall, they framed me for killing Wang Shiyuan, and threatened to avenge Wang Shiyuan, messing up Hengzhou will only benefit them." ”
Wang Chengsu and Wang Tingcuo both echoed and said yes, Wang Yu said: "Even so, the two of you hurriedly restrained the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and fell into the trap of traitors." The two of them only said yes, and each ordered the withdrawal of troops in front of Wang Yu.
