Chapter 82: Bait
On the dock, the corpses of the men in black were lined up, and the number was quite staggering. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info These men in black are all dead, and they all died of poisoning. There was such a big thing on the dock, and the person in charge of this area ran over, and when he saw so many soldiers, he couldn't help but panic.
Li Zheng thought about it, but he still mustered up the courage to squeeze in, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Qian Wenfeng. Although he was only a lizheng, when he was in Suzhou, he still saw Qian Wenfeng, and immediately walked over. Several Tang soldiers stopped him and stared at him.
"The villain is the Lizheng of the samurai village." Li Zheng said busily.
Yang Lian heard it and said, "Let him in." ”
The soldiers got out of the way, Li Zheng walked over quickly, and stopped five or six steps in front of Yang Lian, and he could see from his behavior just now that Yang Lian was the head of this group of people.
"Wujiazhuang is Zhengwu City, and I have seen a general." The person who came said.
Yang Lian nodded and said, "Does Wu Li Zheng know about the situation of these people?" ”
Wu Li stepped forward, looked at the man in black carefully, observed for a moment, and said, "General, these people all came to Wujiazhuang more than ten days ago, some are coolies, and some are here to do business. ”
Qian Wenfeng said: "These identities must not be their real identities. ”
Yang Lian knew this very well, he waved his hand and said, "Wu Lizheng, these corpses will be handed over to you and buried." ”
"Whoa!" Buri is replying.
Yang Lian said again: "Wu Lizheng, you quickly appease the people and don't go near the dock." The canal was going to be dredged. ”
Buri was in agreement, and Shi Li walked away.
Qian Wenfeng's expression was undecided, and Yang Lian saw his expression and asked, "What does General Qian seem to know?" ”
Qian Wenfeng shook his head and said, "Frankly, I don't know, but doesn't Yang Jiedu feel strange?" ”
"Strange? General Qian, please. Yang Lian said, walking aside, and the soldiers guarded the surroundings.
Qian Wenfeng said: "Yang Jiedu, no matter whose premeditation it is, but Qian feels that this murder is too child's play." ”
"It's really child's play, and it's not effective at all." Yang Lian nodded, agreeing with this opinion.
Qian Wenfeng said: "It's because it has no effect that it makes people feel strange, it stands to reason that this kind of assassination pays attention to one hit, but looking at the situation of these people in black, it doesn't seem like they came prepared at all, but they came to die." ”
Yang Lian suddenly realized something, and immediately ordered to go down and let the soldiers collect the blades of the man in black, more than a hundred blades were gathered together, Yang Lian looked carefully, these blades did not seem to be flawed, from the workmanship, they were not military systems, and there were no marks on them, this kind of disguise made people suspicious, but it was this kind of disguise that made it difficult to find their traces.
Yang Lian finished reading all the ordnance, nearly an hour had passed, the Tang soldiers had already dredged the canal, and it took half a pillar of incense to carry out the things in the sunken ship and place them on other ships, and some gold, silver and jewelry sank into the canal, buried under the silt, and could no longer be found.
Qian Hongyu was very painful, but he was helpless, Yang Lian took Qian Wenfeng, Qian Hongyu and his family on another battleship, and the battleship that was scuttled by the man in black was repaired by Wuli Zheng and sent to Jinling in the future.
This time, the battleship went north very smoothly, and there was no longer any obstacle, and at the same time, on the shore, more than a dozen war horses galloped on the pipeline, led by Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Shouxin and others. After setting up an ambush at the dock, Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Shouxin and others saw that the man in black had been killed, and quickly retreated.
Zhao Kuangyin and the others traveled all the way, and they were actually a few points faster than the battleship, mainly because although the speed of the battleship was not slow, after all, there were many warships, so the speed was a little slower.
Zhao Kuangyin and Shi Shouxin returned to Jinling and immediately went to see Guo Rong.
In the mansion prepared for him by the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, Guo Rong's face was very calm, in fact, this was part of his plan, all the time, although the King of Yan and the King of Qi were full of contradictions, there has not been much conflict, the contradictions between the two sides have not intensified, how can Guo Rong profit from it? On the surface, he wanted to help Yan King Li Hongji get rid of Yang Lian, but secretly he had more ideas, if Yang Lian knew that it was King Yan who set up an ambush to kill him, would Yang Lian swallow his anger? With his character, he will inevitably seek revenge on King Yan.
Taking a step back, even if Yang Lian is not what he used to be and his personality has changed greatly, he can still manage to get King Yan to take the initiative to attack. Guo Rong slowly stood up and picked up a knife from the desk, this knife is used to cut fruits, and it is very sharp.
Zhao Kuangyin understood what Guo Rong was going to do, so he tore off the corners of his clothes, kneaded them into a ball, and put them in his mouth.
"Brother Zhao, you have suffered." Guo Rong said.
Zhao Kuangyin gritted his teeth and nodded silently, Guo Rong waved his knife, the sharp tip of the knife broke through Zhao Kuangyin's skin, and blood flowed out, Guo Rong stabbed one knife at a time, just like Ling Chi was executed, constantly cutting on Zhao Kuangyin's body, Zhao Kuangyin gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, even Shi Shouxin couldn't help but feel distressed about this tragic situation, but he knew that the next one was himself.
Guo Rong slashed Zhao Kuangyin more than a dozen times, some cut the skin, and some were deep in the bones, just looking at it made people's hearts palpitate. After more than a dozen knives, Zhao Kuangyin's body was covered with blood, Guo Rong asked someone to help Zhao Kuangyin to bed, and ordered his subordinates to ask the doctor to come and treat him. Then, he began to slash at Shi Shouxin one by one.
After cutting Shi Shouxin more than a dozen times, Guo Rong threw away the knife in his hand and asked his subordinates to clean the house, and then walked out in a hurry.
Guo Rong took four henchmen and soldiers to ride towards Yanwang's Mansion, on the way, passing by Yang Lian's mansion, Guo Rong saw an extremely beautiful woman enter Yang's mansion, he was a little surprised, how could this woman come here?
Guo Rong didn't think much about it, and continued to rush towards the Yan Wangfu.
It was Emperor Zhou E who entered the Yang Mansion, since Princess Huairou told her about that incident, Emperor Zhou E seemed very uneasy, she didn't look like marrying a person she didn't know at all, although King Yan had a respected status, but Emperor Zhou E didn't have a good impression of him at all, some of these impressions were through Princess Huairou, part of them were through Li Congjia, and some of them were known to her, in Zhou Ehuang's opinion, Li Hongji was just a reckless man, and the two had no common language at all, would such a marriage be happy?
Although the women of this era can't sit on the Lord, Emperor Zhou E is unwilling to accept her fate, she once begged her father, hoping that he can refuse this marriage, but the Son of Heaven Chrysostom, Zhou Zong did not dare to refuse at all. As for Li Congjia, after hearing about his father's will, he was just silent.
Under the leadership of the maid of Emperor Zhou'e Yang's mansion, he entered the backyard, and in the backyard, Fu Jinzhan was embroidering with Zhang Qiqi. When Fu Jinzhan saw Emperor Zhou E coming, she stood up affectionately, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Sister Ehuang, you are here again." ”
Zhou Ehuang seemed a little at a loss, after all, she was a woman, and she was a lady, and it was very inappropriate to ask her to come to a man again and again.
Fu Jinzhan had no malicious intentions, seeing that she was very worried, she also knew what was going on, after all, such a big event had already spread. For Fu Jinzhan, she doesn't want Yang Lian to get involved in this matter, she knows Yang Lian's identity, and if she provokes too many enemies, it will be a great obstacle in the future. However, a woman like Zhou Ehuang, who is still pitiful to my generation, Fu Jinzhan can't bear it.
"Sister Ehuang, Yang Gongzi's side, I'm afraid it will take three or four days to come back, it is said that the Son of Heaven has issued an order to meet him with hundreds of officials." Fu Jinzhan said.
Emperor Zhou E sat down with a heavy heart, and Zhang Qili brought a cup of tea and put it on the table. Zhou Ehuang didn't think much about it, he just felt a little thirsty, and just took a sip of tea, he spit it out again, the tea was too hot.
"Sister Ehuang, are you okay?" Zhang Qili looked very nervous.
Emperor Zhou E wiped the tea on his lips, shook his head, and said, "I'm fine." ”
Seeing her like this, Fu Jinzhan couldn't help but say: "Sister Ehuang, you don't have to worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there is no hurdle that cannot be passed." ”
Emperor Zhou E lowered his head and didn't speak, if Yang Lian didn't come, her last glimmer of hope would be shattered, of course, Yang Lian might not agree to her request, but when he thought of Yang Lian's promise, this matter was not harmful, but related to his own happiness, he had no reason not to agree, right?
At this time, Zeng Yiling walked over, his face was as flat as water, glanced at Emperor Zhou E, and said, "Four days ago, Yang Gongzi was assassinated at the junction of Suzhou and Chang. ”
"What?" The three women's eyes widened at the same time, looking at Zeng Yiling deadly, for fear of hearing bad news from her mouth.
Zhang Qili was the most lively, and her temperament was also a little anxious, and she hurriedly said: "Sister Zeng, what's going on?" Brother Yang, Brother Yang, how is he? ”
"Don't worry, he's fine." Zeng Yiling said, but her brows furrowed, but she looked a little worried.
Fu Jinzhan saw the clue and said, "Sister Zeng, could it really be that something happened?" ”
Zeng Yiling reacted, shook his head, and said: "There is no accident, although there are many assassins, but Yang Gongzi leads thousands of troops, how can something happen, I just think it's strange, because on those assassins, tiger claws were found again." ”
"Ahh For the tiger claw, Zhang Qili was most impressed, and couldn't help but scream.
Fu Jinzhan and Zhou Ehuang didn't know very well, and looked at the two of them inexplicably.
Zeng Yiling nodded and said, "Exactly, and there are a lot of them this time, and I don't know what their plans are." ”
Zhang Qili gritted her teeth and said, "These hateful guys, if my aunt and grandmother see them, they will all be killed." ”
Zeng Yiling laughed, waved his hand, and said, "Now that Yang Gongzi is safe, this is enough, it is not clear who instructed these assassins, so we can only take one step at a time." ”
Fu Jinzhan said: "That's right, the main messenger behind the scenes may not have any conspiracy, and everyone should not go out at home recently." ”
Yanwang Mansion, Li Hongji clenched his fists, his eyes were full of bloodshots, more than a hundred people were all dead, these were all dead soldiers he had raised for many years, in order to cultivate them, Li Hongji spent a lot of time and money, but they all died.
Li Hongji slowly stood up, looked at Guo Rong, gritted his teeth, and said, "All the good things you did, they were all killed by you, you bastard!" ”
Guo Rong smiled bitterly and said, "King Yan, I didn't expect things to develop to this point, if these more than 100 dead soldiers can really kill Yang Lian, then it will be fine, but it has no effect at all." ”
"You blame your lonely subordinates, can't you?" Li Hongji shouted, jumped after speaking, and pounced.
Guo Rong did not resist, he was pressed under Li Hongji, full of old fists. The guards brought by Guo Rong heard the sound and hurriedly rushed over, and were all taken aback when they saw their master being beaten, and the family members of the Yan Wangfu also came.
"Get out, get out of here!" Li Hongji scolded while beating.
The guards of King Yan's Mansion were stunned for a moment and looked at the people brought by Guo Rong.
Guo Rong covered his head with his hands and shouted, "You all retreat." ”
Li Hongji snorted coldly and continued to beat Guo Rong, Guo Rong's subordinates pursed their lips and had to retreat, and the soldiers of Yanwang's Mansion also retreated, staring at Guo Rong's subordinates tightly.
Li Hongji snorted for a while, stood up out of breath, looked at Guo Rong coldly, beat him just now, and the anger in his heart almost disappeared, Li Hongji asked viciously: "Guo Rong, what do you mean?" ”
"What can I mean? This time, my generals are also injured, and my life and death are uncertain, and I am also very distressed. Guo Rong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his cuffs, he was extremely angry in his heart, he wanted to kill Li Hongji, but at this time, he couldn't turn his face yet, he had to endure it.
"Really?" Li Hongji asked.
"This is naturally true. If King Yan doesn't believe it, you can go to my mansion to check it out. Guo Rong said.
"Hmph, no need, you don't dare to lie to me." Li Hongji glanced at him viciously, sat down slowly, his fist hurt a little, you can imagine how angry he was just now.
Guo Rong wiped the blood off his face, also sat down slowly, and said, "King Yan, I am also very sorry that things don't work out, but judging from the current situation, you and I have to unite as one to get through the difficulties." ”
Li Hongji was silent, his eyes were murderous, and he said, "Then in your opinion, what should I do?" ”
"King Yan, the reason why I failed this time, I thought about it, was because of the lack of manpower, so I failed." Guo Rong clenched his fists and said regretfully.
Li Hongji agrees with this very much, after all, most of the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty led by Yang Lian were sent back to various places, but the soldiers brought by Yang Lian were not tens of thousands, at least more than 5,000 people, and it was indeed very difficult for more than 100 people to succeed.
"So what?" Li Hongji asked.
"This time, you might as well do it in Jinling, Yang Lian entered the city, it is impossible to lead troops, and his guards in Yang Mansion are only a few dozen people, so the chances are much greater." Guo Rong said.
Li Hongji felt that what he said was reasonable, so he said: "Lone believes in you again, if it doesn't work this time, Lone will definitely ask his father to kill you." ”
Guo Rong hurriedly arched his hand and said: "King Yan is angry, this time the matter will definitely be done, but we have to wait for Yang Lian to enter the city, and then it depends on the situation." ”
Li Hongji nodded, and was about to speak, when suddenly he remembered something, and his face couldn't help but change.
