Chapter 8: Windfall

Han Xiaofeng looked at this moment of life and death, and suddenly thought of the happy life before, there was no war, no gunsmoke. It's not that the years are quiet, it's just that there are soldiers who are carrying the weight for us.

As the saying goes, ants bite elephants to death, and no matter how powerful these bandits are, they can't withstand the joint strangulation of hundreds of officers and soldiers. After a short time, all the bandits surrendered, and the officers and soldiers also suffered heavy casualties.

The officers and troops on the hillside surrounded the warehouse and tried to catch it all, but it was understandable that one or two fish occasionally slipped through the net.

On the hillside, a large group of officers and soldiers came out of the woods, all of them elite men in armor. A middle-aged man who looks like a general, wearing black armor and carrying a long knife at his waist, is majestic.

Striding towards Chen De, he hugged his fists and said, "Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Chen De replied, "Brother Liu, don't come unharmed, don't be afraid of Chang'an, I haven't seen you for five years." ”

The general surnamed Liu said, "Yes, you and I served under Taizong back then, and now if it is peaceful today, there is still an opportunity to fight side by side, which is also a kind of fate." ”

Chen Dedao: "Now is not the time for you and me to catch up, come, let me introduce you." ”

Chen Dedao: "This is Jichuan Shuibu Langzhong, Liu Wei and General Liu. ”

Han Xiaofeng was a little puzzled, isn't there any soldiers available in this Tai A County? If you want to go to Jichuan to pick up troops, this transfer of troops from another place is not a trivial matter, is it because you can't trust the local general in Tai'an?

Chen De said to Liu Wei, "This is Han Xiaofeng and Han Gongzi, who is resourceful, and he set up this game today." ”

Liu Wei said, "It's really young and promising, better than when your old boy was a dog-headed military advisor." "Old Chen, today's thing is very strange, these people are not afraid of death, but they are not those homeless grass cowards back then, they may be dead soldiers."

Chen De sighed and said, "I can't see it, all of us are strong in martial arts, this time we will either make a great achievement or a catastrophe." ”

Liu Wei said in an atmosphere: "Chen De, have you lived too long in peace, where did you go to the pride of chasing the world with His Majesty Taizong?"

Han Xiaofeng couldn't interject when the two senior officials spoke, but the stakes were very high, so he still interjected, "Two adults, am I in a big disaster?" ”

Chen De said with a smile: "Han Gongzi is a great achievement, and the reward is indispensable. You don't have to worry, we'll take care of the rest. ”

Chen De said to Liu Wei: "The stakes are very high, you and I will go back and immediately tell Your Majesty about today's affairs." It is already a serious crime for you to transfer troops without permission, and I am afraid that the court will already know about it. ”

Liu Wei said, "Without further ado, then I'll go first." ”

The ships of the naval division were moored at the pier, and the soldiers quickly withdrew with the bodies of the fallen officers and bandits, and the retreat was orderly and scattered. It seems that this Liu Wei is also a well-trained person.

Han Xiaofeng was very puzzled in his heart, this bandit is all dead? That's a fart fish, these two adults won't show off their heads.

Han Xiaofeng asked, "Lord Chen, what should I do next?" Are all these bandits dead? ”

Chen Dehaha laughed and said, "It seems that Han Gongzi is also a smart person, it's normal for one or two injured fish to slip through the net in the chaos of this army, isn't it?" ”

Han Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief, and finally his efforts were not in vain.

Han Xiaofeng suddenly had a bold idea, history said that there was a coup d'Γ©tat during the reign of Gaozong, if it was this time, then this matter was not small. I don't dare to talk nonsense without a basis, this is going to kill my head.

Han Xiaofeng said to Chen De in a different way: "Lord Chen, if, I say if." If there is still this black powder, and it is transported all the way north to Chang'an, this matter... I don't dare to think about it. ”

When Chen De heard this, his scalp suddenly went numb, and he said, "Thank you Han Gongzi for mentioning it, in the future, I, Chen De, will definitely know how to repay the favor." Farewell"

The soldiers and the catchers collected the gunpowder scattered on the ground, tied it to a wheelbarrow, and the bags were about to be transported away.

Suddenly, countless soldiers poured out around the warehouse, and Han Xiaofeng thought that it was Liu Wei's army that had gone and returned. I didn't expect it to be the city guard of TaiA County, which is a bit too coincidental.

Chen Fang quietly slipped to Han Xiaofeng's side and said, "This is Zhao Xianlong, the commander of the city guards, who has always been at odds with my father, and it is not good to come here now." ”

Zhao Xianlong took the lead and came to the front of everyone and said, "Just now, General Ben got a secret report that the important military materials stolen from the city guard armory were stolen and hidden in this Hexi warehouse. ”

Zhao Xianlong also wanted to jump to scold his mother in his heart, and asked him to come to the Hexi warehouse to cooperate with the Yang family's dead soldiers to take away a batch of important items, but he didn't know what it was. Zhao Xianlong knew exactly where these people came from and what strength they had to show up.

Chen De was not flustered, and said, "Oh, what kind of powerful person can steal such a valuable item from General Zhao. ”

Han Xiaofeng saw that Zhao Xianlong's posture was rushing to gunpowder, this Tang water was too deep, and his little fish was going to be drowned, and he would never be an official in the future.

Zhao Xianlong said: "This is a family matter of my city guards, so I don't have to worry about Lord Chen." ”

Zhao Xianlong was also observing the surroundings as he spoke, dozens of dead soldiers failed to take this Hexi warehouse, and now there was blood everywhere, and he didn't even see a single corpse, it seemed that they had all suffered from the central government. It seems that these have nothing to do with Chen De.

Zhao Xianlong watched the arrest and escort a cart of goods, exuding a strange and pungent smell, thinking that these should be the goods.

Chen Dezhong said angrily: "Since it is your family matter, I don't care, now you have to take care of the affairs of my government?" Now my government is running an errand, and I don't want to get out of the way quickly. ”

The two sides are tense, and there is a big fight that will start if they disagree.

Zhao Xianlong did not back down and said, "I suspect that the goods you escorted are my stolen materials, come and take the goods from me." ”

Chen De was also very nervous in his heart, and roared angrily, "Zhao Xianlong, why do you say that these things are yours, don't deceive people too much." ”

Zhao Xianlong looked arrogant, "This is not called bullying, if you don't believe it, you can ask the military department for credentials." Someone comes, things pull away. ”

Chen De's forehead was bruised, his fists were clenched, and he let go again, "Forget it, let them take it away." Finally, he pointed at Zhao Xianlong and scolded, "Zhao Xianlong, you bastard, I'm not done with you." ”

Zhao Xianlong ignored it and told the soldiers to push the wheelbarrow away.

After they were all gone, Chen De said to Han Xiaofeng, "Master Han, how is it, my acting skills are good." ”

Han Xiaofeng gave a thumbs up and said, "It's not bad, it's a pity that the Oscar is not awarded to you." ”

Chen De said with a blank face: "What little golden man? ”

Han Xiaofeng said embarrassedly, "It's just to praise your acting skills, and you're amazing." ”

Chen Dehaha laughed and said, "It seems that he is old, and he can't keep up with the train of thought of you young people." ”

Han Xiaofeng said, "The matter has come to an end for the time being, why don't we go have a drink tonight?" CelebrateCelebrate? ”

Chen Fang heard the spirit, "Yes, yes, yes, it needs to be celebrated." ”

Chen Deyi glared and said, "You kid doesn't learn every day, but he is a good hand at eating, drinking, and having fun." Seeing that you are doing well today, let you go, a few young people, I'm not going to join in the fun. ”

Although Chen De is from a scholarly family, he is very open to Chen Fang's education, and the principles that should be taught are still taught, but as long as he doesn't do anything hurtful, he never asks.

Chen De led the government soldiers and the arresters to leave quickly, before he was afraid that there would be a traitor to report the news, Han Xiaofeng called all the guards and workers together and let the government soldiers take care of them, and now they are free one by one.

A lean steward asked Han Xiaofeng, "Han Ledger, what's going on, it's scary." ”

Han Xiaofeng said solemnly, "Thin monkey, this is a matter of the government, don't ask if you shouldn't ask." ”

Han Xiaofeng said to everyone again, "Let's disperse, let's disperse, what should you do, don't make a fool of yourself, no one should talk about tonight, otherwise you will be deducted for a month." ”

As soon as they heard that their wages were going to be deducted, everyone immediately dispersed.

Tonight, Han Xiaofeng died tragically in front of him when he saw a living person for the first time, and the kind of mental impact he experienced was stronger than anyone else.

These natives of the Tang Dynasty are all people who have experienced war, and the dead have long been strange. It's like himself, a wild Tang man, who still has lingering palpitations. It seems that I will have to exercise more in the future, and practice more in grappling and military boxing that I learned before, if only I could make a pistol, even if you are the first master of martial arts, you have to lie down for me obediently.

I have just experienced a fight here, the navy army, the government soldiers, and the city guards have appeared one after another, and the Red Tiger Gang will not dare to come out at this time to make trouble, so it is still very safe tonight.

Han Xiaofeng proposed to go to Wanhualou in the city to relax, which of course was unanimously agreed by Chen Fang, Long Sen and Li Kui. Several people left the warehouse together, and not long after leaving the dock, Han Xiaofeng and Long Sen whispered a few words, and Long Sen turned into a small road and left.

Li Kui asked curiously, "What did you say to Steward Long, how did he leave?" ”

Han Xiaofeng said, "He, he has something to do, go first, and come to Wanhualou to find us later." ”

Wanhualou is still brightly lit, and the girls from afar greet Han Xiaofeng enthusiastically. These little goblins' eyes were bright and bright, and they rushed to hold Chen Fang, and they didn't have a chance to come to Han Xiaofeng and Li Kui.

Han Xiaofeng is not the first brother who came to Datang for the first time, in line with the principle of being cheap and not taking advantage of the bastard, he began to rub oil and eat tofu to the sisters around him.

A few people found a private room on the second floor, ordered a few snacks, and did not ask the girl to accompany the wine.

Chen Fang took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth, and said, "Han Xiaofeng, I have a question, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

Han Xiaofeng said with a smile: "You and I are also brothers who share weal and woe, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Chen Fang said, "You and I have a one-sided relationship, and we are not familiar with each other, why did you call Li Kui to come to me, this is not a trivial matter, in case my father and those bandits are accomplices, aren't you throwing yourself into the net?" ”

Han Xiaofeng laughed, "I said intuitively, do you believe it?" Besides, I only know you as an official in your family, I don't look for anyone you are looking for, if you are a member of the same party, then I Han Xiaofeng admit it. ”

Chen Fang was speechless, it turned out that he was just a choice that he had no choice.

Li Kui interjected, "Brother Han, how did you know that someone would definitely come to grab that batch of gunpowder at night." ”

Han Xiaofeng put down his wine glass and asked Chen Fang, "You should have tried the pack of gunpowder that Li Kui gave you today." ”

Chen Fang said, "Don't say it, this thing is amazing, it burns instantly when it encounters a fire." If it was placed in a confined space, it would have exploded, and the banging sound almost deafened my ears. ”

Han Xiaofeng smiled, "It's just a little bit, you said that if dozens of bags of these things are sent together." It couldn't be more terrifying, the walls could blow you up in an instant. ”

"Can something so valuable be put in our warehouse? Do you think he is stupid, of course he is not stupid, this Wei River leads in all directions. You can go anywhere, but why did you choose this place, isn't this a big doubt? ”

Han Xiaofeng drank the wine and continued, "This black powder has a pungent taste, and it is definitely not easy to hide and transport. So I'm going to venture to guess that there must be someone here who can make this shipment disappear in an instant, and then be able to get to their destination very quickly. ”

A few people were talking vigorously when there was a sudden knock on the door. "It's me, Ronson."

Han Xiaofeng got up and opened the door, and saw Long Sen with a gray face. He asked, "How's that?" ”

Long Sen sat on the bench and said, "Don't worry, let me drink a sip of wine and roar, my throat is smoking." ”

Long Sen gulped a few mouthfuls and said, "Han Xiaofeng, you are an immortal or something, you are like a god." I watched the night guards who were locked up as you arranged, and only two of them left. One is a thin monkey, and the other is Zhu Dachang, guess which of them is a traitor. ”

Han Xiaofeng thought for a while and said, "Could it be Zhu Dachang?" ”

Long Sen gave a thumbs up and said, "You're god, then guess where he went and who he saw in the end." ”

Han Xiaofeng said helplessly, "I really can't guess this, if I guess this, I will really become an immortal." ”

Long Sen said in a low voice: "He entered a house in Chengnan Hutong and met the housekeeper of the Longchang Dart Bureau. ”

This is an unexpected result, a windfall.
