Chapter 550: The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings
Liu An was angry when he learned that Su Ren left the city gate early in the morning and headed west, and killed someone angrily for the first time. Liu An is a gentleman in the hearts of the people of Huainan Kingdom, humble and fair, at least he has never heard of anything in the palace competing with the people for profit, let alone ordering people to kill people and other major events that hurt the heavens. But today, Liu An was really angry, and killed a captain, a team leader, and nine soldiers guarding the city gate in one go.
The bloody corpses were hung at the gates of the city, and anyone who passed by could see them clearly. The leader of the team who had just been sent to guard the city gate loudly admonished his subordinates: "Listen to me, from now on, if you don't want to die, put your eyes on it, no matter who it is, without the king's order, even if it is the king of heaven, don't want to enter the city, if anyone wants me to die, I will kill his whole family first!" ”
Drops of blood dripped from the corpses on the top of the city gates, like water from the eaves, dripping at the gates, forming small puddles of blood. The soldiers were silent, looking at the team leaders who seemed to be crazy. When the city gate was opened again, the soldiers became a little crazy, and they rushed up without saying a word, and they caught it first.
There are more people outside Shouchun than in the city, they were originally farmers in the vicinity, since there is no land to cultivate, lost the source of livelihood, flock to Shouchun, hoping to enter the city to beg for a living, but unfortunately the city can't get in, so they have to gather outside the city. The huts that have been built one after the other, stretching out from the city gates for several miles, are blown by the wind, and a strange smell will drill into your nose.
Su Ren and the three of them rode through this improvised outer city, full of staggering guys on the left and right, and occasionally a corpse appeared, and mosquitoes and wild cats and wild dogs gnawed on it, which made people feel creepy. Su Ren remembered a lot of things, in the vast history of thousands of years, there have been many such situations, especially in feudal society, the situation of making the people of the world precarious because of the words of one person is even more serious.
There is no need to talk about the Tang and Song dynasties after the Han Dynasty, and there will be one or several examples in each dynasty. The closest example of the fall of the Qin dynasty to the Han dynasty is the most prominent. After the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, the world should have recuperated, but because of Qin Shi Huang's reasons, the Great Wall was built in the north, and the Yue people were conquered in the south.
Liu An is also in this situation now, he is even more outrageous than Qin Shi Huang, just because he saw the comet, he felt that his opportunity had come, which made the entire Huainan people panic, and a large number of people were displaced, if the comet in the sky stayed for half a month longer, Su Ren felt that there was no need for the court to do it, as long as someone shouted, these people in Huainan could take Liu An's life.
When he came to the city gate, the city gate guards immediately lined up and stretched out the halberd in their hands in front of Su Ren. The matter of the white horse going out of the city has become the heart disease of the soldiers at the city gate, and now those bloody lessons are above the head, and seeing these people back, how can the newly appointed team leader let go, shouting, all the soldiers rushed out and surrounded Su Ren and the three in the middle.
Huang Shisan and Manniu were ready to kill, but Su Ren stopped them. You can beat people, you can scold people, but you can't kill people. As a messenger, if you kill someone in another country, you will also have to kill your head, who let Liu Bang set up three rules when he entered Xianyang, one of which is that the murderer dies, this one was enshrined in the Han Dynasty as a law, and no one can violate it.
The team leader was just about to speak, but Su Ren glared at him first: "Don't tell me you don't know who I am, it's best not to act rashly, it's better to report to your king quickly, so as not to cause trouble, the one above is your fate." ”
The team was frightened, since ancient times, it is always mortals who are injured in the fight of immortals. This team leader was not confused, and felt that what Su Ren said made sense, so he immediately stopped his subordinates from rushing forward and ordered someone to report it.
The bustle at the gates of the city attracted those who had nothing to do, and soon a great circle was formed, and they all wanted to see who was so bold as to force their way into the city at such a time, and point fingers at the young man on the white horse. Su Ren ignored this, sat on the horse and leisurely waited for Liu An's decision. He knew that Liu An should have a headache at this time.
Liu An was lying on his back on the couch, and a maid pressed Liu An's head with both hands, and the time was not short, and the maid's face was already sweating. The audience is still arguing, and the opinions of both sides are very clear. The party led by the prince Liu Qian supported the arrest of Su Ren, and the party led by Liu Hong felt that Su Ren was an official of the imperial court and an envoy of Hengshan State, and it was understandable to go out of the city, so if he arrested people because of this, he tried to cause trouble.
Liu An closed his eyes, listening to his heart irritated, whether Su Ren went out of the city or entered the city, it made him feel very sad, and once again felt that he was too soft-hearted at the beginning, and did not send Su Ren directly, which is why he has endless troubles now.
"Enough!" Liu Anhu sat up straight and slapped his palm on the case: "There is no decision to quarrel and quarrel, is it possible to ask this king to go out of the city to greet him?" ”
Liu Qian heard some ways from Liu An's words, and immediately said: "Father, although Su Ren is the envoy of Hengshan Kingdom, he does not respect the laws of Huainan Kingdom, and he should be severely punished. ”
Liu An glanced at Liu Qian: "Kill him or arrest him?" ”
"You should act according to my Huainan law!"
Liu An sneered: "Do you know what the consequences will be even if you arrest Su Ren?" ”
"What can be the consequences, my Huainan soldiers are full of food, and I am afraid of the ...... of Hengshan Kingdom"
"Shut up!"
Liu Qian was stunned for a moment and quickly shut up. Liu An said: "This king now wants to know what this Su Ren did when he went out of the city?" When Liu Jian was taken away yesterday, that Su Renke said that Liu Jian couldn't suffer in vain, and there must be a purpose for going out of the city suddenly this time, and this king wants to know how he will retaliate? ”
"It is said that Su Ren went out of the city to the west, and turned back in one day, a hundred miles, and the following ministers guessed that he should go to meet Duan Hong, the angel of the imperial court." Wu was sentenced, and the lobby immediately became audible with a pin drop.
Liu Qian thought for a while and said strangely: "Duan Hong is not a waterway to take a boat, how can Su Ren meet him on horseback?" ”
Liu Hong sneered: "The prince of the world believes that Duan Hong is taking the waterway? ”
Zuo Wu said: "No matter whether Duan Hong takes the water route or the land route, Su Ren must be doing something unfavorable to me when he goes out of the city, and the subordinates think that Su Ren can be allowed to enter the city, and send troops to surround the courtyard, so as not to have such a thing happening again, as long as Su Ren does not contact outsiders, he has the ability to dominate the sky in vain." ”
Liu An nodded: "Then do it, send someone to call Chen Ding back from Yongxingdu, now the situation in Shouchun needs to be strictly guarded." ”
Liu Hong wanted to say something, but when he looked at Liu An's eyes, he didn't open his mouth, lowered his head and pondered, and he always felt like he was up and down in his heart.
The confrontation at the gate of the city made the team sweat profusely, and from time to time they looked back into the city, for fear that they would become those people hanging on the city wall. Seeing that it was time to close the city, there was still no order. The team leader took a deep breath, as long as he closed the city gate and didn't let Su Ren enter the city, he would not be derelict in his duties, but he was worried that what if the king changed his mind and locked people outside the city?
A fast horse galloped up, and when he saw the knight's clothes, the leader breathed a sigh of relief. hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "The villain greets the captain." ”
The lieutenant did not dismount, bypassed the team and came to Su Ren, and arched his hand: "Mr. Su After a long time, the king ordered, Mr. can enter the city, and let the villain lead the troops to protect, please!" ”
The team leader hurriedly waved his hand to let his men get out of the way. Su Ren smiled, rode into the city, and when he passed by the team, he glanced at him with a smile: "You are good!" I will be able to be a lieutenant in the future. ”
The captain's face turned white, and he hurriedly went to see his boss. The lieutenant glared at the team leader: "Why don't you close the door quickly and escort Mr. Su back with me?" ”
There was a rush of scrambling, and the heavy gates were shut. In a group of onlookers, Su Ren was surrounded by thirty or fifty soldiers in the middle and headed towards the other courtyard. The fight that the onlookers had been expecting did not happen, and they cowered down on the side of the street, looking for something to keep out the cold.
Han Qing and Hou Yong were always uneasy since Su Ren went out, and they heard that because Su Ren went out of the city, the king of Huainan opened an unprecedented killing ring, and then the entire courtyard was surrounded by hundreds of soldiers. The two felt that the matter was big, they were ready to kill out of the city, and just when they were about to start, they saw Su Ren being surrounded by a group of Huainan soldiers and coming towards the courtyard, Hou Yong shouted, and he was about to grab people when he gathered people.
Han Qing hurriedly stopped: "Wait, let's see, don't hurt Mr." ”
Not far from the courtyard, the lieutenant stopped his horse and said to Su Ren: "Sir, please, for the safety of Mr., the king will send three hundred soldiers to protect Mr., the king said that it is not safe in the city these days, and it is better for Mr. not to walk around at will for no reason." ”
Su Ren smiled: "Thank you, the king, please tell the king of Huainan to understand." ”
The tense atmosphere in the courtyard returned to silence with Su Ren's return. Han Qing and Hou Yong followed Su Ren closely, Hou Yong was okay, he was born in the military, and he has always been straightforward, as long as Su Ren ordered him to go to the soup. Han Qing thought a little too much, and after connecting all the things together, he felt that this time King Huainan was likely to make a move on Su Ren.
"Sir, see the angels?"
Su Ren nodded: "I saw it, everything that should be said has been said, it depends on what Duan Hong thinks, he should have an idea." ”
"That's good, in that case, do we have to leave, and if we stay again, I'm afraid that King Huainan will be bad for Mr."
Su Ren shook his head: "Don't worry, can you let the King of Huainan go to Chang'an obediently in the next few days, as long as we keep a low profile, Liu An will not do anything to us." ”
"But I'm worried about ......"
"Don't worry, the deputy envoy, with my Hou Yong here, these county soldiers of Huainan Kingdom can't stop us."
Su Ren laughed: "Look, Mr. Han is not as tough as General Hou, which damages the prestige of your ancestors!" ”
