Chapter 305: It's all in plain sight
Chapter 305
When the tree falls and scatters, the monkey desperately picks a few fruits from the tree and takes it away, and no one can stop it.
The current situation is that Yang Shangjing is the tree, and the army under his command, or the "art of war" needed to train this army, is the fruit on the tree, such as Xu Shangyong, Liu Qidao and other Nanjing nobles, is the monkey that clings to this tree, once Yang Shangjing's tree is sanctioned by the iron axe of the inner court and directly cut down, then the monkey on the tree will definitely hold the fruit and run as far as it goes.
So Yang Shangjing looked at the majestic and murderous Xu Shangyong on the high platform, Yang Shangjing could only sigh softly, sighed a few words, and continued to rush to the school field.
Today's guard of the door is the old man of the original Huangyan County Inspection Division, after all, the recruits are still too loose, let them guard the door, let alone Yang Shangjing, even Xu Shangyong feels uneasy, these guards saw Yang Shangjing coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I have seen Lang Zhong when I go down." ”
Yang Shangjing waved his hand and sighed: "Open the door, this official came today, that is, to take a look, no need to be polite." ”
Several soldiers glanced at each other, nodded, and two of them rushed over, lifting the rejection horse at the door, Yang Shangjing clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and rushed in directly.
The whipping on the high platform is still continuing, twenty whips, it doesn't sound much, but in fact the execution is very long, the real whipping is not as simple as the bear child being whipped by the tiger parents and tiger parents, and the "civilized country" that still retains the whipping after five hundred years, even if the whipping is sentenced, three or four whips must be executed twice, and these twenty whips, some of them are not a little, but some of them are beaten.
But fortunately, Xu Minying is also an old man of the Wei family, or rather, a standard veteran of torture, and the means and scales are very good, but they just make these people suffer in flesh and skin, and they look extremely miserable, and they will definitely not leave any incurable internal injuries.
Except for the sound of the whip breaking through the air and the screams of the two unlucky ones who had weakened, there was not even a little other movement in the entire school yard now, and those who were a little closer to the high platform could even hear the sound of blood droplets falling to the ground in a neurotic way, which was abnormally terrifying.
The sound of horses' hooves broke the silence from far and near, and everyone present was stunned, at this time of the Chinese New Year, no one should come again, but looking at the two unlucky guys hanging on the high platform, these soldiers standing below did not dare to look back after all, only Xu Shangyong and others stared at the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came from.
When Yang Shangjing, who came riding a horse in an official uniform, came into view, Xu Shangyong subconsciously ignored that Uncle Zhong, who was following him, was instantly filled with Yang Shangjing's face in his entire vision.
The expression on his face is very rich, a little funny, a little mocking, a little desolate, and a little relieved, but what is not there is the sadness that should exist the most, this expression is like a needle, piercing Xu Shangyong's heart.
There is a saying that the tiger can't fall down if it dies, not to mention that Yang Shangjing's tiger is not dead, Yu Wei still has four words and can't describe it accurately, so Xu Shangyong took a deep breath, strode off the high platform, nodded to the ground on one knee, and lowered his head: "The last general Xu Shangyong, I have seen Lang Zhong, I don't know that Lang Zhong wants to come, I have never greeted him from afar, my armor is on my body, I can't pay full courtesy, and I ask Lang Zhong to forgive my sins!" ”
This is said very respectfully, but the meaning of the words has already had some estranged meaning, which also corroborates Yang Shangjing's previous judgment - Xu Shangyong is reminding himself very obscurously that the news from Wei Guogong is very unfavorable to him, his marriage is basically collapsed, although the relationship between him and the Xu family of Wei Guogong will not be broken, but it cannot be maintained permanently, as his head is borrowed to calm the emperor's anger, the relationship between the two families will be cut clean.
Yang Shangjing tugged at the corners of his mouth, showed a very gentle smile, stretched out his hands, picked Xu Shangyong up from the ground, and said softly while lifting it up: "It's okay, this official is also interested, come here to see, military powerhouse, after all, it is a place where you can't relax your guard." ”
After a pause, Yang Shangjing's tone was filled with relief: "General Xu is strict with the army, and he is prepared for danger in times of peace, and the official is very relieved." ”
Yang Shangjing hugged Xu Shangyong very slowly, and it wasn't until he finished speaking that he really picked Xu Shangyong up from the ground, but as soon as Xu Shangyong looked up and saw Yang Shangjing's expression, his whole heart suddenly burst out, and he seemed to be able to see what kind of cold heart and cold gaze he had behind Yang Shangjing's gentle smile.
So, even though he was dressed thickly, he shivered, and he pursed his lower lip with his upper lip, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief between the gaps.
To tell the truth, he knows all about Yang Shangjing, he didn't personally experience Yang Shangjing's operation in Beijing, so he just felt a little emotional, but when he arrived in Nanjing City, plus a series of actions after arriving in Huangyan County, he saw it in his eyes.
In addition to admiration, that kind of killing decision brought him only happiness, glad that he was arranged by his family to stand on his side, and when the foreign dynasty wins, when the big purge is done, he will not become a sacrifice of the entire Wei Duke Xu family.
However, now, as soon as the strategy of the foreign dynasty changes, it is going to sell Yang Shangjing, a rising bird hiding in the south, not to mention anything else, Sun Yuanzhen and others received the news to unite the three divisions on the table and play with the vassal king, which is destined to be the bigwigs of the foreign dynasty such as Yang Pu, Ma Yu, Cao Nai and others are nodding, in this case, the possibility of Yang Shangjing surviving is basically zero.
Yang Shangjing smiled and patted him on the shoulder, as if he didn't see his small movements, and then strode up the high platform, Xu Shangyong stood behind him, turned his back to the people in the square, slowly closed his eyes, and then quickly opened his eyes, followed Yang Shangjing's steps, and returned to the high platform.
Yang Shangjing's eyes fell on the two unlucky people covered in blood, turned around with a smile, and asked, "What is the so-called use of military law for the New Year?" ”
Xu Shangyong's heart jumped, and he returned respectfully: "If you return to Langzhong, these two people do not obey military discipline and cholera military hearts, and they are really to blame." ”
