Chapter 261: Captured
Outside Yangqu City, the dusty Liu Xilema stopped, looking at the closed city gate, and a trace of displeasure surged between his brows. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Even if he wanted to use Ma Sanping to cut off the connection between Yangqu City and Li Tang, he was still a little sad when he saw that the city he had worked so hard to create was in the hands of others.
"Master Hou, my subordinates are willing to lurk in the city, make a combination of inside and outside, and take Yangqu City back!"
Huyan Qingshi asked in a hoarse voice, in his eyes, the only person who is the lord of Yangqu City is Liu Xi, and he must not tolerate others to forcibly occupy it.
However, Huyan Qingshi was not dizzy by anger, so he asked Liu Xi to sneak into the city.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Xi nodded, "You guys go to the city and look for an opportunity to capture the leader of the Qianzhou Mansion." ”
"Order!"
Huyan Qingshi and the other thirteen people responded in unison, because their cheeks were covered by masks, Liu Xi couldn't see their faces, but he could still hear that they seemed to have some irrepressible excitement.
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, maybe even if Liu Xi lets them face thousands of enemies alone, they will be excited to think about it.
The thirteen rode away and soon disappeared from everyone's eyes.
"Yusheng, what are your plans?"
Retracting his gaze from afar, Ma Xiu asked in a deep voice.
Of course, Liu Xi didn't hide it, and said what he thought in his heart, "This is a rare opportunity." ”
This is a rare opportunity, and naturally it cannot be missed.
His eyes were still staring at Yangqu City, and Xiao Wu's voice was a little low, "This city should belong to you, at least with you, the people will live better and better, instead of being indifferent to the court and being bullied by foreign clans like in the past." ”
Ma Xiu took a deep breath and was silent, and a slight struggle suddenly flashed on his face.
Liu Xi understood that he was thinking of the lord of Shurou.
Finally, Ma Xiu exhaled a cloud of white mist, "Xiao Wu is right, Yangqu City has too much of our hard work, naturally we can't let others take it at will, Yusheng, tell me your plans......"
Liu Xi glanced at Ma Xiu deeply, a little grateful.
But he didn't say it.
"I'm going to play a bitter trick."
When this sentence was spoken, several people naturally understood, Ma Xiu glanced at Xiao Wu, and smiled helplessly, "It seems that we are going to accompany Brother Mengjue in prison." ”
When Ma Xiu said this, Liu Xi remembered the scene when he and Lin Yi first met, "This time, I met Brother Mengjue again in prison, and it's strange to think about it." ”
When such ridiculous words came out, they naturally attracted a burst of laughter, and when they laughed, Liu Xi looked back and instructed Qu Lang, "The three of us went to Yangqu City, and you hid your traces first, but when you saw that we were arrested by Ma Sanping, we went to General Tong to report the news, how can you know the words?" ”
Qu Lang nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, your subordinates can save it, just tell what you see, and it's time to ignite the anger of the whole army." ”
"That's very good."
After saying this, Liu Xi shook the leather whip in his hand suddenly, and stepped forward again, Ma Xiu and Xiao Wu followed, while Qu Lang slowed down and followed the three.
The road for several miles was not too far under the galloping horses' hooves, and soon, Liu Xi and the three of them arrived at the foot of Yangqu City, the closed city gate was not full of people in the past, and muddy spots could be seen everywhere on the vermilion gate.
It seems that in just a few days, the city has been depressed.
Sensing the commotion, a group of defenders came out of the city, iron-clad with bows, and arrows in their hands pointing downward, which were a little more piercing than the howling cold wind in the winter light.
"Yangqu City has been banned, outsiders should leave as soon as possible, otherwise they will be killed on the spot!"
The captain who led the troops at the head of the city said sharply, obviously, he didn't know that the person under the city was Liu Xi, otherwise he would have already shot arrows indiscriminately and killed Liu Xi to invite merit.
Just as Liu Xi was about to report his reputation, there was a commotion in the city, and after the sound of armor, more arrows were pointed at him.
It seems that someone recognized Liu Xi.
"Traitor Liu Xi, don't be caught yet!"
There is another big and three rough man on the head of the city, judging from the armor on his body, he is probably a partial general, he is very confident in this shout, and it is obvious that he has incarnated himself as a righteous party, and he wants to give Liu Xi and other traitors the final punishment.
Next to this person was the gray-clothed man who was delivering a letter to Qianzhou Mansion a few days ago.
The gray-clothed man leaned out from the battlement of the city wall to look again, thinking that it was to reconfirm whether the people under the city were Liu Xi himself.
Later, I saw that his face was full of irrepressible joy, and he whispered a few words to the general who had just shouted, and then hurried down the city.
This is to invite credit with Ma Sanping.
The general who stayed at the head of the city took the bow and arrow in his hand beside him, took the bow and bent the arrow, shot at Ma Xiu, and roared, "If you don't get off the horse quickly, you will be captured!" ”
This guy didn't dare to hurt Liu Xi, but he went towards Ma Xiu to kill chickens and monkeys.
This approach naturally made Ma Xiu quite annoyed, but Liu Xi didn't speak, and he could only suppress the anger in his heart.
And Liu Xi swept his cold face at the partial general who was showing off his martial arts on the head of the city, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, which made the partial general with a lot of blood on his hands shudder.
Although he didn't know why he felt this way, the partial general really felt the fear in his heart, but in a blink of an eye, he thought that there were many soldiers gathered around him, so he put the inexplicable fear aside, raised his voice a little again, and yelled with Liu Xi, "Traitors and thieves, everyone will be punished, if you don't get off the horse and be captured, don't blame General Ben for being unkind!" ”
"Hmph, this marquis is the marquis of Zhenbei given by the Holy Lord, what kind of thing are you!"
Liu Xi snorted coldly, the murderous aura in his eyes was heavier than before, making the general feel like he was pierced in the back by a sword, and suddenly cold sweat flowed into his armor, his throat was open, but he couldn't say anything, and his appearance looked so strange.
When Liu Xi confronted the soldiers at the head of the city, in Yangqu City, Ma Sanping, who was wearing a fox fur, came out of the inn, perhaps because the snow was not finished, and a pair of clean Feiyun gold silk boots were made by the snow-covered mud.
Immediately, a trace of displeasure welled up between Ma Sanping's brows.
Seeing this, the gray-clothed man who followed hurriedly bent forward, wiped Ma Sanping's boots with his sleeve, and said angrily, "It seems that this inn doesn't want to be opened, and it can't even sweep the road, so my father-in-law's boots are dirty!" ”
After the mud marks were basically wiped away, the gray-clothed man was about to turn around, "My subordinates will go and lead someone to arrest the shopkeeper." ”
"That's it!"
Ma Sanping wrapped his body in a big coat and stared at the empty street in the distance, "These days, the city is very cold. ”
With a flattering smile on his face, the man in gray trotted forward to pull the curtain for Ma Sanping, "After my father-in-law arrests the traitor, this Yangqu City will definitely be as noisy as Jingshi." ”
"Since you can compare with Jingshi, how about leaving you here?"
The man in gray smiled wryly, "Your subordinates have to serve your father-in-law, and wherever you go, your subordinates will follow you." ”
"You little rabbit cub has a sweet mouth."
Ma Sanping scolded with a smile and got into the carriage, although there was a stove on the car, but after all, there was a leaky place, which naturally could not be compared with the warmth of the inn room.
Smacking his mouth, Ma Sanping put his hands into his thick sleeves and sighed deeply, fortunately, the matter was almost over.
It went more smoothly than he wanted it to be.
As long as Liu Xi dies, those things that bothered him before will be solved.
But Ma Sanping didn't want Liu Xi to die easily, and he was killed by arrows under the city, which was done by the horseman, and he Ma Sanping hated those short-sighted people the most.
Because this may cause a riot in Yangqu City, after all, Liu Xi's prestige in Yangqu City, Ma Sanping has seen it with his own eyes.
Removing Liu Xi is a big trouble for going to the saint, which is a great achievement, but if Ma Sanping just leaves with the front foot, there will be chaos in Yangqucheng on the back foot, and this credit will be wasted.
So arrest Liu Xi back, read the indictment in public and behead him, who dares to disobey the people of Yangqu City?
In the past few days, Ma Sanping has worked hard to find out the ten major crimes for Liu Xi, all of which can lead to death.
Thinking that everything was under control, the corners of Ma Sanping's mouth grinned.
If he saw the Tang Emperor's praise for him in the Golden Palace, and then thought that the chief manager Zhang Lishi was old, maybe it wouldn't be long before he Ma Sanping could rise to the top, stand on the side of the Son of Heaven, and enjoy all the glory and wealth.
His mind was full of such things, and his chest couldn't help but be surging, where would Ma Sanping feel cold, he just hoped that the matter in the north could be solved as soon as possible, so he lifted the curtain and the person who was driving, "Hurry up for our family!" ”
Outside the city, Liu Xi was still standing on horseback, indifferent to the arrows all over the city, staring at Yangqu City with stunned eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
Liu Xi didn't say anything, and Ma Xiu and Xiao Wu didn't say anything.
The three of them quietly took the city surrounded by thousands of people, and under the slightly warm winter sunshine, the scene was quite weird.
After a cup of tea, there was a slight commotion in the city, and after a while, the vermilion gate opened.
Countless armor soldiers rushed out like a tide, holding a red-tasseled spear in their hands, and surrounded Liu Xi and the three of them in the center.
But Liu Xi did not change his complexion at all, tightened the reins, and forcibly stabilized the dark horse that had become restless due to murderous aura.
After the soldiers, it was Ma Sanping, who was surrounded by the guards.
Seeing Ma Sanping, Liu Xi said with a little anger in his words, "Father-in-law, I haven't seen you for a few days, what is the situation?" ”
"Bold, when you see your father-in-law, you won't get off the horse and be captured!"
The gray-clothed man behind Ma Sanping pointed at Liu Xi and scolded loudly, but soon he lost his voice, and cold sweat overflowed on his forehead.
Just because Liu Xi's gaze was like a sword, he didn't dare to move at all.
"What kind of thing are you, Ben Hou has your part in talking!"
Perhaps feeling the joy of the victor, Ma Sanping did not immediately cool his face, and shook the dust in his hand slightly, "Master Hou, you are young, but you have already won the favor of the saint, our family can't even stammer, but what you don't do well, you have to collude with the Huns, how can you touch the Tang Dynasty and other people?" ”
His face turned red, and Liu Xi roared angrily, "You dare to slander Ben Hou, Ben Hou can learn from the sun and moon for the loyalty of the court, Ben Hou will personally report to the saint!" ”
"Hehe, forget it, Master Hou, this is what the Holy One means, Master Hou, if you want to blame, blame you for being too shining, making it difficult for the Holy Lord to master."
Ma Sanping, who was not smiling, took out a golden flying dragon order from his arms, "All the soldiers obey the order, and there is an order from the saint to arrest the traitor Liu Xi and his comrades, there must be no mistake!" ”
Those soldiers were ordered to surround them, and Liu Xi dismounted, and grabbed the spear with Ma Xiu and Xiao Wu to make a desperate resistance.
Ma Sanping screamed again, "Liu Xi, if you are arrested, our family can spare your comrades from dying, but you have to think about it!" ”
"Yusheng can't!"
"Yes, I can't believe him, let's kill him and save people!"
Xiao Wu and Ma Xiu said these two sentences at the right time, and the scenes were quite realistic.
Liu Xi pushed the boat along Ma Sanping's water, dropped the weapon in his hand, and sat on the ground in despair.
Soon surrounded by a swarm of soldiers.
Ma Xiu and Xiao Wu resisted a little, and then pretended to be outnumbered and captured.
"Haha, the one who knows the times is Junjie, Master Hou, you are really a smart person."
After catching Liu Xi, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, like a triumphant general, Ma Sanping laughed and turned around and walked towards the city.
