Chapter 1265: Murder
Ah Si laughed when he heard this, and said: "General Yang said that it was a joke, although the 37th Wuman Department is small and the people are weak, but most of them are in the mountains, and all the mountain roads are guarded by the passes, and if you want to invade the Ziqi country, I am afraid it will cost something, it is not an easy thing, I have never been afraid of anyone in the Ziqi country." "Ziqi country is mostly in the deep mountains, the villages are connected, and I don't know how many passes there are on the mountain road, most of them are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not an ordinary difficulty to attack Ziqi country.
"I hope so." Yang Tingjing nodded, and did not speak, he did not believe that there were no impregnable cottages and passes, how powerful the artillery appeared in Bianjing City, how powerful the Jin people were, and in the end, they were not defeated by artillery. These barbarians are in the deep mountains, and they don't know how big the world is, so Yang Tingjing disdains to argue with them.
"Oh, by the way, my brother is going to hold a banquet to entertain the Song envoy tonight, I wonder if General Yang will have time?" Ah Si seemed to think of something, looked at Yang Tingjing with a smile and said, there was more smugness and rampant in his words.
"No, my brother and I packed up tonight and left here early tomorrow morning." Yang Tingjing made a gesture of please, but ignored Ah Si, Ah Si shook his head, and did not speak, subconsciously, he thought that Yang Tingjing had no way to change the current situation, so he could only accept his fate, shook his head at the moment, and walked out of the bamboo building.
The starlight of Luxi at night flickered, outside the bamboo building, there were bursts of singing and laughter, the fire was swirling, in the bamboo building, you could see the lively scene in the distance, countless people were dancing and singing around the piles of fires. Although the Ziqi Kingdom was established, it was actually composed of one tribe after another, and the lord of the country, Abin, presided over a dinner party in Luxi to entertain the Song clan Cui Zan.
In the bamboo building, Yang Tingjing sat quietly on the bamboo couch, with a big knife on his legs, on both sides, ten Tang soldiers also sat there quietly, and there was a quiet piece in the bamboo building, only a burst of breathing came out gently.
"These Han people can really sleep." At this time, the voices of the warriors of the barbarian tribe came from outside, these people were either monitoring, or the barbarian soldiers guarding Yang Tingjing and others, they also came to monitor the Tang army at this time, for fear that the Tang army would have an abnormal situation at this time.
"Now that we're asleep, let's go, let's go, let's go and have a look. Why are they drinking there, we still have to guard here, I heard that the wine of the Song Dynasty is very good, go, go. The other soldier said with some dissatisfaction. Apparently dissatisfied with his treatment.
"This?" The soldier who spoke just now was still a little reluctant, but he was quickly pulled away, and there was no sound outside the bamboo building, and there was a quiet silence.
Yang Tingjing stood up violently, opened the window, and glanced outside, under the starlight, he only saw the lively scene in the distance, but the soldiers near the bamboo building disappeared without a trace.
"In the end, a group of barbarians, without any military discipline to speak of, just gave me a chance." Yang Tingjing's face was cold, he looked at the post house where Cui Zan lived in the distance, beckoned, and the ten guards around him stood up one after another, followed behind Yang Tingjing, quickly opened the door, and then disappeared into the darkness.
Yang Tingjing led the guards to break into Cui Zan's post house, and found that there was no movement inside, and there was not even a guard in the small courtyard, and there was a surprise in his heart, beckoning the guards to hide in the darkness and wait for Cui Zan's arrival.
After waiting for nearly an hour, I heard a burst of footsteps outside, the person at the head spoke with a Jiangnan accent, the voice was loud, and there were bursts of footsteps around, the most familiar of which was Ah Si's voice, obviously Cui Zan had returned.
Immediately after the firelight came in, Yang Tingjing's eyes narrowed slightly, glanced around, and saw that the surrounding guards were all dressed in black and hidden in the dark, and they must not have been able to see when they first came in, but Yang Tingjing knew that as long as these entered the small courtyard and were familiar with the surrounding light, they would definitely find themselves as people, so he only had one chance to kill Cui Zan before Ah Si found out.
Cui Zanjun's face is still a little ruddy, he has drunk a lot tonight, after all, he represents the Heavenly Empire, since the Great Song Dynasty was destroyed, Zhao Gou, Zhao Huan and others have ascended the throne and called the emperor, but the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty has declined a lot, and this kind of envoy has become a chore, but today, Cui Zan feels as if he has returned to the Heavenly Empire.
"General Asi, this time everyone is united, it is an excellent opportunity for Ziqi country, and I don't know how much land there is in Bashu, why fight with Dali for the land of the palm of the palm?" There was a faint hint of drunkenness in Cui Zan's voice, in the end he was drinking the wine of the Central Plains, these barbarians like to drink the most, and even Cui Zan was poured a lot.
"That's nature, that's nature. Hey! These damn guys, there are no guards in the inn? Ah Si walked into the post house, but saw that there were no barbarian guards outside the post house, and immediately said dissatisfied.
"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, tonight from the whole country to enjoy together, not to mention, this post house is next to the palace, who dares to be presumptuous." Cui Zan waved his hand carelessly, raised his foot and entered the post house.
Ah Si was about to speak, suddenly a knife light flashed in front of him, under the light of the torch, dignified and powerful, frightened Ah Si suddenly woke up, subconsciously, he hid to the side, and when he found out that the target of the other party's attack was Cui Zan, it was too late.
Cui Zan next to him was a literati, where had he seen this kind of formation, he didn't even have a chance to dodge, and he was killed by Yang Tingjing's long knife at once, and he didn't even let out a scream.
Ah Si was already stunned by the situation in front of him, the dignified envoy of the Great Song Dynasty was actually killed in front of him, looking at Yang Tingjing who rushed out of the darkness, how did he not know what the other party thought, and was waiting for someone to arrest Yang Tingjing. But he saw that ten more guards rushed out of the darkness, with hideous faces, holding big knives in their hands, and slashed at Cui Zan's entourage.
"General Asi, don't do it yet, wait for when." Yang Tingjing suddenly roared, and Ah Si's mouth suddenly opened after hearing it, this guy actually said such a thing at this time.
"Yang Tingjing, you." Ah Si immediately understood what Yang Tingjing was thinking, and was about to refute, but saw that the surrounding Song soldiers had already discovered that something was wrong, and the first reaction of these guys was not to face Yang Tingjing and avenge Cui Zan, but to turn around and flee.
"General Asi, kill all these people, and leave no scourge behind." Yang Tingjing's face was hideous, he laughed, and said: "The thirty-seven departments are located in the deep mountains and old forests, and no one knows how many people died. It's better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Yang Tingjing's voice was very loud, and he could hear it clearly within a few feet, and those Song soldiers who fled were even more panicked when they heard it, and they let out a burst of exclamations and fled into the darkness.
"Yang Tingjing, why don't you chase it?" Ah Si's face was gloomy, and he looked at Yang Tingjing deadly, but saw that Yang Tingjing not only did not continue to chase and kill those Song soldiers at this time, but stood there lazily, as if he was looking at a joke. There was a burst of rage.
"Hehe, there are deep mountains and old forests outside, there is no need to chase and kill, these people will definitely die." Yang Tingjing said indifferently.
"Hmph, what are you still doing in a daze, chase after them and kill them all." Ah Si shouted to the barbarians beside him, and then looked at Yang Tingjing coldly, and said coldly: "Yang Tingjing, you won." Still, you're honestly here for now, waiting for news from the leader. Ah Si turned around and left, the incident had happened, Cui Zan was dead, and since Qiguo had given up the idea of uniting with the Song people.
