Section 7 Hongmen Banquet
At dusk, Liu Yunwei led the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion to rush to the outside of Wenshang County, at this time Chen Qianhu and Xu Feng, the magistrate of the county, had already led the civil and military officials in the city to wait outside the east city gate.
Liu Yunwei saw the people waiting at the gate of the city from a distance, so he waved his hand to signal the team to stop, and the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion stopped when they heard the order, and nearly 5,000 people were as uniform as one person. Then, Liu Yunwei took Lu Ying and several other generals to meet Chen Qianhu and others.
At this time, Chen Qianhu looked at the elite and abnormal soldiers of the Hanwei Battalion, looked at Liu Yunwei and others who came over on horseback, the shock in his heart was incomprehensible, and he even began to secretly regret it, after all, he knew what the soldiers under his command were like, and he was definitely not the opponent of the soldiers of the Hanwei Battalion in front of him. But as soon as he thought of his wife and children, Chen Qianhu gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and launched a desperate fight. So, after Chen Qianhu adjusted his mentality, he smiled and walked forward with Xu Zhixian.
"Haha, presumably the two of them are the county magistrate and Chen Qianhu, in the next Liu Yunwei, Hanwei Yingqian, I have seen the two adults." Liu Yunwei got off his horse and said with a laugh.
Chen Qianhu also said with a smile: "Mr. Liu Qian is really a young hero, he is really extraordinary, extraordinary!" Come, let me introduce you, this is Xu Feng, the magistrate of Wenshang County, and Lord Xu. ”
Liu Yunwei hugged his fists and saluted, and said, "Yunwei has seen Lord Xu. ”
Xu Feng was also full of smiles, and said: "I have long heard that Liu Qian is always a young hero, and Benzhi County has also been friends for a long time. ”
"Lord Xu has won the prize." Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "I will also introduce these people." Liu Yunwei pointed to Lu Ying and the others behind him and said: "These are the generals in my battalion, Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, Li Tianhao, Wang Dangdang, Gao Hongguang, and Wen Poyu. ”
Chen Qianhu and Xu Zhixian saw that several people were very powerful, and they all said in unison: "Several generals are always heroes." While Chen Qianhu continued to talk with Liu Yunwei, he casually glanced at Gao Hongguang.
After everyone was polite to each other again, Chen Qianhu said with a smile: "Mr. Liu Qian, the soldiers have been tired for a day, I think it is better to let the soldiers camp and rest first." It's just that my Wenshang County is very small, I'm afraid I can't receive so many soldiers under the general, do you think you should let the soldiers rest outside the city first? However, Liu Qian always rest assured that the grain and herbs needed by the soldiers will definitely be provided in sufficient quantities. ”
Liu Yunwei laughed secretly in his heart and said, "Since this is the case, then follow Chen Qianhu's arrangement." ”
"Haha, Mr. Liu Qian is really bold. Tonight, Lord Xu and I set up a banquet in the house, and I asked Mr. Liu Qian and you to appreciate the total. ”
"Humph! After earning it, I want to make all the money in my camp into the city? So, Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "Haha, since this is the case, then Ben Qian will definitely go." It's just that the affairs in the camp are complicated, and a few of my subordinates still need to stay in the camp to deal with some affairs, so I don't think they should go. ”
Chen Qianhu didn't insist anymore, thinking to himself: "As long as you Liu Yunwei agrees, the rest of the men and horses will wait until you are dealt with as the main general, and then I will wipe out the rest of the people!" Then he said, "Okay, since that's the case, let's go to the city and rest for a while." Mr. Liu Qian may not know, but Xu Zhixian has raised a troupe, which was borrowed by me tonight, let's listen to it at night. ”
Liu Yunwei nodded and said with a smile: "That's the best." After finishing speaking, he said to Lu Ying: "General Lu, you lead the soldiers to camp outside the East City Gate, and the affairs of the camp will be handed over to you to handle." ”
Lu Ying naturally heard what Liu Yunwei meant, so he clenched his fists and said: "The last general will be ordered, don't worry, my lord!" ”
After that, Liu Yunwei ordered all the 500 soldiers of the Longxiang Department and was about to enter the city with Chen Qianhu.
Seeing this, Chen Qianhu smiled and said, "Hehe, what does Mr. Liu Qian mean by this?" ”
"Haha, these soldiers are my personal guards, and they have always followed me wherever I went. How? Chen Qianhu wouldn't have even prepared the wine and food of these soldiers, right? Haha"
Chen Qianhu smiled wryly and said, "Where is this, of course it is prepared." Come, Mr. Liu Qian, let's go into the city. ”
"Xu Zhixian, Chen Qianhu, please." After speaking, Liu Yunwei entered the city with five hundred Longxiang soldiers, Xu Feng also got into a sedan chair and entered the city, and Lu Ying also took the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion to slowly retreat. Only Chen Qianhu himself was left at the gate of the city, coldly looking at the five hundred soldiers who hugged Liu Yunwei into the city, his eyes were full of hatred and fear.
And Liu Yunwei entered the city gate, and when he rode his horse and walked on the street, he suddenly saw a man wearing the official uniform of the general flag on the side of the street staring at him, and then made a gesture of cutting off his head at himself, and disappeared into the crowd as soon as he turned around.
Wenshang County is not big, and it didn't take long for Liu Yunwei to come to Qianhu Mansion with Chen Qianhu and Xu Zhixian. At this time, Chen Qianhu had already set up dozens of tables of banquets in the outer courtyard, and when everyone came to the outer courtyard, Chen Qianhu said to Liu Yunwei: "Mr. Liu Qianhu, let the brothers eat in this outer courtyard, let's go inside to drink and watch the play, okay?" ”
Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "Okay! Then, he only brought ten guards to accompany Chen Qianhu and Xu Zhixian into the inner courtyard and came to the main hall.
Along the way, Liu Yunwei deliberately secretly observed the surrounding situation, and saw that the subordinates in the Qianhu Mansion were all young and strong men, and there were quite a few of them, but there was not even a single maid in the mansion; The wings and side houses on both sides of the road are also crowded with people, and I don't know how many people are hidden.
"It seems that this Chen Qianhu has tried his best." Liu Yunwei was talking to Chen Qianhu while sighing in his heart.
Chen Qianhu greeted Xu Zhixian and Liu Yunwei very warmly, and the two of them were polite to each other and sat down, while the ten guards led by Liu Yunwei controlled the main hall, not only guarding the gate, but also three people standing behind Liu Yunwei.
Chen Qianhu was not surprised when he saw this, but filled the wine glasses for Liu Yunwei and Xu Zhixian, and pulled the two of them to start pushing the glasses and changing them. After a while, Liu Yunwei asked with a smile: "By the way, Chen Qianhu, didn't you say that there is a troupe?" Where are the people, why don't I see them? ”
Chen Qianhu laughed when he heard this, and slowly turned into a wild laugh, Xu Feng on the side was taken aback when he saw this, and asked, "Chen Qianhu, what do you mean by this?" Mr. Liu Qian is here, how can you be so rude! ”
And Liu Yunwei was not surprised at all, just smiled and looked at Chen Qianhu, who was already a little crazy.
After Chen Qianhu laughed for a while, he slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and suddenly dozens of soldiers with sharp blades rushed out of the ear room and back hall of the main hall, surrounding Liu Yunwei, Xu Zhixian, and the ten guards; At this moment, there was also a noise in the outer courtyard, and then a burst of fighting broke out.
At this time, Xu Zhixian had already lost his soul, and the whole person sat down under the table, looking at the dozens of soldiers around him with a frightened expression.
Liu Yunwei looked around very calmly, and then said, "Chen Qianhu, what do you mean by this, do you want to rebel?" ”
Chen Qianhu said frantically: "Do you think I want to? My family is in the hands of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, and I can only obey their orders! Mr. Liu Qian, don't blame me, who made you impatient, you have to provoke the smelling incense sect! ”
When Xu Zhixian heard this, he immediately shouted: "Chen Qianhu, you actually want to rebel with the Wenxiang Sect?" ”
At this moment, Liu Yunwei glanced at the three guards behind him, and the three guards suddenly understood, and immediately dragged Xu Zhixian to his side to protect him; Then Liu Yunwei stood up and said to Chen Qianhu: "No matter what hardships you have, but your rebellion is confirmed." As a general of the imperial court, he can't protect the people in peace, but is used and threatened by cultists, I think you Chen Qianhu is tired of life! ”
"Less nonsense!" After Chen Qianhu finished speaking, he dodged and exited the main hall, and then shouted loudly: "Kill them all for me, and leave no one behind!" ”
The main hall suddenly burst into murderous sounds, Liu Yunwei suddenly pulled out his waist knife, and cut down the three enemies around him to the ground with one turn; Immediately afterwards, he flew up and kicked the table on the dining table, and the table flew out at once, and the four or five guards standing at the door of the main hall were immediately smashed to the ground, and they couldn't stop wailing.
"Let's go! Rush out and protect Lord Xu! Liu Yunwei roared and rushed to the door, while the other ten guards also fought hard to the door, and three of them also firmly surrounded Xu Zhixian in the middle, so as not to be injured by the enemy.
Chen Qianhu, who was standing outside the door, saw a sword and sword shadow in the main hall, but all of them fell under his own men, and only two people on Liu Yunwei's side fell, and his heart couldn't help but rise: "How can this Liu Yunwei be so difficult to deal with?" It seems that I don't have enough manpower to prepare, and I have to transfer people again! So, Chen Qianhu was about to go to the military camp in the city, and left Qianhu Mansion through the side gate with a few entourages.
At this moment, Liu Yunwei roared, slashed seven people in a row and rushed out of the main hall, and the remaining few guards also came out with Xu Zhixian, who had no master of the six gods. I saw that three guards blocked the door of the main hall and stopped dozens of enemies in the house, while Liu Yunwei rushed to the outer courtyard with the remaining five guards and Xu Zhixian.
When Liu Yunwei came to the door between the inner and outer courtyards, he saw that the entire outer courtyard had turned into a bloody battlefield, and the five hundred soldiers of the Longxiang Department were forming their own formations, fighting with hundreds of enemies, and the scene was already very chaotic. And with a few screams, the three guards who intercepted the enemy in the main hall also fell in a pool of blood, and the remaining guards waved their weapons and killed them.
For a while, Liu Yunwei and the remaining guards and Xu Zhixian were attacked on their backs and fell into a desperate situation. Seeing that the situation was urgent, Liu Yunwei shouted to one of the guards beside him: "Release the arrow!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the guard immediately raised his hand and crossbow and shot it into the night sky, only to see that the feathered arrow pierced the night sky with a hissing sound, and then exploded in the air, forming a field of fire!
