Chapter 103: Rescuing Zhang Yan
After Chen Qun led the people back to the Chen Mansion, he ordered Danyang Wei to do a good job of defense, and the rest of the people went down to rest. When Chen Qun learned that he had lost 2,000 men, Chen Qun covered his headache in distress.
Huang Zhong looked at Chen Qun, who was covering his head with his hands, and said in a deep voice: "Changwen, don't be too sad, as the main attacker, it is inevitable that we will lose manpower." ”
Chen Qun hammered his head with both hands: "Master, I know, but these brothers are all treasures, I am really uncomfortable to see them disappear like this, and now that Zhang Yan has not been rescued, I know what to do quickly." ”
Huang Zhong frowned and said: "Wait for a few days to attack again, during this time, I will take more than a dozen good men to shoot the prison guards every night, and we must make up for our losses last night!" ”
Hearing this, Chen Qun looked at Huang Zhong with bright eyes: "That's right! Master, this method is very good! I'm going to call Ling Ming over too, and I'm going to see how long the guards in the prison can hold out. ”
Huang Zhong nodded: "That's great." ”
After Chen Qun and Huang Zhong discussed, they immediately sent someone back to the mountain city to send Pang De over.
When the Chen Mansion was in grief, the ten permanent attendants of the Luoyang City Palace gathered together to celebrate happily.
Zhang Rang raised his glass and smiled at the eunuchs: "Brothers, being able to kill so many elite people in Shaomu Mountain this time is really the happiest thing for me to wait for this time, come, everyone toast together!" ”
"Drink!" The Ten Standing Attendants and others raised their glasses to celebrate, during this period of time, the pressure on them from the Shaomu Mountain was too great, although everyone successfully persuaded Emperor Ling to rebuild the South Palace and complete the mission assigned by the master, but none of the Ten Standing Attendants were so happy today.
That night, Huang Zhong and Pang De each took ten archers who had practiced their inner spirit to lurk around the prison, and in the middle of the night, Huang Zhong and Pang De led people to set out together, and the twenty-two people, all wearing black night clothes, stood on the roof opposite the prison, bent their bows and arrows to shoot at the prison guards. In just one wave, twenty people were shot dead and two others were seriously wounded.
"Enemy attack!" Loud shouts rang out in the prison, but the guards wilted when they realized that there were no enemies.
After Huang Zhong and Pang De finished shooting a wave, they waited for an hour and shot in another direction, shooting 21 prison guards again and seriously injuring one person. The prison was once again filled with shouts of enemy attack.
In this way, for a month, Huang Zhong and Pang De and their entourage slept during the day and attacked the prison guards at night, causing the entire prison guards to be afraid every night, and only dared to hide in the solid wooden house when they were on duty, for fear that one would be shot if they were not careful.
The ten permanent servants and others were aware of the threat faced by the palace prison, but they really couldn't think of a good way to deal with the Chen family's shooters except for trying to protect the guards on duty.
In a month, more than 2,300 guards had died, but the guards did not even see the enemy, but all who saw it were already dead.
The guards guarding the prison have been very physically and mentally exhausted for the past month, and they really wanted to carry weapons to kill the Chen Mansion, but they were held down by Zhang Rang and others.
The guards guarding the prison were tired, and the hearts of the ten permanent servants were also tired, Zhang Rang didn't expect Chen Qun, a hairy boy, to be so difficult.
From mid-June to mid-July, Zhang Rang had the heart to kill Zhang Yan more than once to eradicate future troubles, but he was forced to suppress them, Zhang Rang knew that as long as Zhang Yan was imprisoned in the prison for a day, Chen Qun would take the bait again and send people to storm the prison, Zhang Rang decided to wait for Chen Qun to lead someone to storm the prison next time, and then teach Chen Qun a lesson.
Chen Qun has not been idle in the past month, he personally explored the terrain around the prison, and after determining that the prison is indeed an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, Chen Qun decided to give up storming the prison, but was thinking about how to skillfully rescue Zhang Yan and try to preserve the strength of his brothers.
Combined with the current situation of the prison, Chen Qun naturally remembered the memories of his previous life, in his previous life, as a doctor of law, Chen Qun knew a lot of classic tactics, including special tactics, so Chen Qun decided to personally risk his life and try to sneak into the prison with fifty elites to rescue Zhang Yan.
After Chen Qun made a decision, he immediately implemented it.
Late at night on July 17, Chen Qun took Huang Zhong and Pang De, as well as 15 male guards and 33 military experts, changed into prison guards and sneaked into the prison in the middle of the night.
After Chen Qun and his entourage entered the prison, they searched almost the entire prison before they found the secret cell where Zhang Yan was being held.
Seeing this, Chen Qun ordered his brothers to loosen the ropes that bound Zhang Yan, and then dressed Zhang Yan in the clothes of prison guards, and Huang Zhong and Pang De drove Zhang Yan out of the cell.
After Chen Qun and his party left the cell, they walked straight to the gate of the prison, and the patrol officers they met on the way did not care about the traces of Chen Qun and his party. In this way, Chen Qun and his entourage did not encounter any risk, so they swaggered out of the prison and walked away.
After dawn, Zhang Rang got Zhao Zhong's report: "Big brother, last night Chen Qun led people to rescue Zhang Yan from the prison. ”
"What? What did you say? Be clear! Chen Qun rescued Zhang Yan last night, why didn't I hear any fighting on the other side of the prison at all, what the hell is going on? Zhang Rang looked at Zhao Zhong and frowned.
Zhao Zhong lowered his head and said, "Big brother, last night on the prison side was the same as usual, there were Chen family's shooters who shot our guards late at night, but the harassment quickly subsided.
Everyone thought that as before, as long as they were hit until dawn, they would be fine, but no one expected that there would be fifty Chen family guards wearing the clothes of their brothers, sneaking into the prison and rescuing Zhang Yan. ”
Zhang Rang looked at Zhao Zhong with his eyebrows, and was so angry that he pointed at Zhao Zhong's head with his finger again and again: "You, you, second brother, what are you asking me to say about you?" I told you again and again before, again and again, to be careful of Chen Qun, I told you that Chen Qun harassed the prison every night, not simply attacked, but you just didn't think so, now it's okay! Zhang Yan was rescued by Chen Qun, what should we do now? ”
Zhao Zhong lowered his head and whispered: "Big brother, junior brother thinks that we must find a way to get rid of Chen Ji Restaurant and Chen Mansion in Luoyang City, otherwise, the brothers under him will regard Chen Qun as an invincible person!" ”
"Nonsense!" Zhang Rang heard the words and reprimanded directly.
After Zhang Rang finished reprimanding, he turned his back to Zhao Zhong and said in a deep voice: "Now you know how many guards there are in Chen Ji Restaurant and Chen Mansion, and you also know the construction process of Chen Ji Restaurant and Chen Mansion, do you think we can capture these two places with our current manpower?" We're defensively overfretting and underattacking now.
Second brother, think about it carefully, if we use up all the power in our hands, what else does the master want us to do? What else do we have to gain a foothold in the palace? If Chen Qun really unites with some ministers of the DPRK and China, and then gets rid of us and others in the name of the Qing monarch, wouldn't we have died too unjustly! ”
Zhao Zhong nodded: "I know what the eldest brother said is reasonable, but now that Chen Qun has rescued Zhang Yan, if we don't take action, it will be too much, I can't swallow this evil breath!" ”
Zhang Rang turned to look at Zhao Zhong when he heard this: "Second brother, admit defeat!" It's not like we can't afford to lose! What's more, we haven't lost yet, as long as we hold the palace to the death, plus there is a powerful master of the White Horse Hall outside, there will be no problem with our status, it's just that our power is not as great as before, but we can slowly start from scratch, what do you say? ”
Zhao Zhong looked at Zhang Rang with red eyes: "Big brother, then we don't care about Chen Qun?" Just let him grow and then turn back to us? ”
Zhang Rang shook his head: "There is nothing we can do about Chen Qun's affairs!" Give Chen ** to Lord Jia and the master to deal with! I believe that Master Jia and the master will definitely be able to deal with Chen Qun, as for us, in the future, we will still focus on completing the tasks assigned by the master, and other things ......."
Zhang Rang stopped when he said this, Zhao Zhong looked at Zhang Rang who was embarrassed, and instantly had a feeling of sadness for the rabbit and the fox, this was the first time he had this bad feeling since he followed Zhang Rang.
Zhao Zhong thought about it and felt that Zhang Rang's approach was right, so he hugged his fists at Zhang Rang and said, "Okay, big brother, just do what you say, junior brother has no opinion." ”
After Chen Qun returned to Chen's mansion with Zhang Yan, he learned that Chen Qun really rescued Zhang Yan with only fifty people, and they all went forward to inquire about the rescue process.
After Chen Qun treated Zhang Yan's wounds, he let Zhang Yan rest, and ordered Hua Erren and others to take care of Zhang Yan carefully.
On the third day, Zhang Yan woke up.
After Chen Qun got the report, he hurriedly looked at Zhang Yan: "Gongwei, you have suffered!" But now it's okay, it's all over, and you don't have to go to the court anymore, just stay by my side and do things. ”
Zhang Yan blinked when he heard this: "Thank you for Changwen." ”
Chen Qun looked at the painful Zhang Yan and frowned, "Gongwei, who hit the wound on your body?" I'm going to kill him. ”
Zhang Yan whispered when he heard this: "It's Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang... Almost... Every night, look for me... Vent. ”
"Zhang Rang! This madman! Chen Qun said angrily when he heard this.
After Chen Qun controlled his emotions, he looked at Zhang Yan's eyes and smiled: "Gongwei, it's safe here, you can rest assured that you can recuperate!" Zhang let them not have many days to live, and if they have the ability, they have been hiding in the palace and not coming out. ”
Zhang Yan blinked when he heard this.
Seeing this, Chen Qun smiled and said, "Gongwei, you have a good rest, I'll go out first." Something to ask Hua Er to call me. ”
After Chen Qun finished speaking, he turned around and left.
In the broken temple in the east of Luoyang City, Zhang Rang stood in front of Jia Xu with his head down, and he didn't even dare to breathe, because they lost Zhang Yan again, so that Zhang Rang would not be able to raise his head in front of Jia Xu for a long time in the future.
Jia Xu looked at Zhang Rang, who was bowing his head, and sneered: "Zhang Rang, for the sake of you being a little useful to your master, and for the sake of persuading Emperor Ling to rebuild Nangong, I will give you another pointer."
Next, you ten permanent servants don't have to do anything, just guard your palace, and don't let Chen Qun's people enter the palace and quietly slaughter all of you. I'll take care of the rest. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Rang said in a deep voice: "Lord Jia, what about Zhang Yan?" ”
Jia Xu sneered: "Didn't I say it just now? You don't have to worry about it, go ahead, just guard the palace and keep your heads, and you'd better not interfere in the rest, this is my last advice to you, otherwise, all the consequences will be borne by you. ”
"Thank you, Lord Jia, my subordinates are retiring!" Zhang Rang gave Jia Xu a fist salute and turned to leave.
After Zhang Rang left, Jia Xu muttered to himself: "Senior Brother Chen, you really gave me one surprise after another!" But if you're really the owner of the Emperor's Divine Order, then you'll have a headache next. ”
After Jia Xu finished speaking, he came to the window of the broken temple and said in a deep voice: "This Zhang Yan must die, whether he is a servant of the emperor's order or not, he must die, and all those who may be Chen Qun's henchmen must be eradicated." Hehe, these useless subordinates can't even do this little thing, and they still have to go out themselves at a critical time. ”
After Jia Xu sighed, he said loudly: "Come on, prepare a congratulatory gift, and go to Chen's Mansion with me." ”
"Yes!" Outside, the voice of the guards was heard.
After a while, a beggar came in and hugged his fist at Jia Xu and said, "My lord, the congratulatory gift has been prepared, when will you leave for Chen's mansion?" ”
"Let's go now, don't follow too many people, three is enough, let's go!" After Jia Xu finished speaking, he left the house and went in the direction of Chen's mansion.
Jia Xu's sudden visit surprised Chen Qun, and Chen Qun personally went out to welcome Jia Xu into Chen's mansion.
Jia Xu smiled after being invited into the guest hall of the Chen Mansion by Chen Qun: "Senior brother, congratulations on rescuing Zhang Yan and making the Ten Standing Servants deflated again, Senior Brother is really curious about how you did it, if it weren't for the fact that some of my brothers happened to see you come out of prison, I couldn't believe what they said." ”
Chen Qun looked at Jia Xu and shook his head with a smile: "Senior brother, you are really well-informed, it seems that there are really a lot of capable people in your beggar gang." ”
Jia Xu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Senior brother praises it, there are few capable people, and there are a lot more people to eat." ”
After Jia Xu finished speaking, he looked at Chen Qun and said with a smile: "Changwen, it seems that this matter is true, you have really created a new method of warfare!" If this tactic is used against the enemy's commander when the two armies are facing each other, will the enemy not be defeated in a mess? ”
Chen Qun smiled and nodded, "Senior brother turned out to be for this!" This is really nothing, it's just a prank on the whim of the little brother! Senior brother, it's still that old question, do you want to come over and help your junior brother do things? Senior brother doesn't plan to guard that beggar gang for the rest of his life, right? ”
Jia Xu smiled when he heard this: "Hahaha......, I really don't know how my junior brother can fall in love with me, I am used to being at ease, I don't like to do things, I like to sleep, and I am happy to be the leader of a beggar gang, it is enough for you to have Xu Yuanzhi to help you." Okay, I'm just here to confirm if you really did that, and you're going to do it enough for Senior Brother to go back and think about it for a while. ”
After Jia Xu finished speaking, he got up to say goodbye to Chen Qun and left, no one noticed that Jia Xu crawled out of the pocket of Jia Xu's clothes during the joke with Chen Qun.
After the centipede crawled out of Jia Xu's pocket, it first hid in the dark corner of the chair and remained motionless, and then crawled out of the dark corner that night, after being silent in the guest room.
After the centipede crawled out, it first sniffed around with its head held high, and then crawled towards the side of the guest hall while smelling, and the direction of progress was obviously the bedroom where Zhang Yan was.
