Chapter 117: The Trap of Jingxi (3) - King Miao
And in Jingxi, there were bursts of muffled thunder in the sky, and I was afraid that it would rain again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xu Lan, who was standing at the head of the city, said some words of encouragement to the rebels, and returned to the city accompanied by Shi Liu Deng.
Later in the day, the rain poured down. This momentum is much more than the drizzle of the previous day.
So that both humans and beasts obediently lay down, waiting for the rainstorm to pass.
The Qing army, which had been on the offensive, did not dare to launch an offensive at this time. But this does not mean that the Qing army has really done nothing.
I saw a short and thin young man with short hair in the handsome tent of the Qing army general and Lin. was kneeling in front of He Lin, nodding and saying something.
It wasn't until he finished his words that He Lin had a cold face and said in a low tone: "Your Miao King, are you really willing to be recruited by the imperial court?" βγ
The young man immediately flattered, "Yes! Willing! In order to prove his sincerity, our King Miao will release 500 captured Qing troops at three o'clock tonight. When the time comes, the city gate will be opened and the celestial master will be ushered into the city. βγ
When he spoke, he also presented a handwritten letter from King Miao. and presented the map of the fortifications in the city together. Because there were too many leaders of the Miao uprising, it was inconvenient to manage it as a whole. Therefore, Xu Lan pretended to be the order of the sect leader and named Wu August as the king of Miao. Shi Liu Deng, Shi Sanbao, Wu Bansheng, and Wu Tingju were named the kings of the southeast and northwest.
In terms of status, it is a step shorter than Wu August.
But in fact, Xu Lan took advantage of this opportunity to become the king and held all the military power in his hands. Therefore, whether it is the king of Miao or the king of the southeast and northwest, they are all soldiers in his hands.
He Lin also learned about these situations through the spies and spies in the rebel army. Therefore, it is not surprising to Miao Wang to surrender. At that moment, he carefully looked at the letterhead and the layout of the city defense presented to him, and did not speak.
So that there was no noise in the tent except for the sound of the rain and the faint sound of thunder. The young man on the ground, kneeling on the damp ground, secretly looked at He Lin. Seeing the majesty of his face, he didn't even dare to inhale loudly.
After a long time, He Lin said in a very flat tone: "If your King Miao can send the people or heads of the cult envoys to the camp of the general, then I will definitely ask the Holy Lord for the merits of King Miao." βγ
When the young man heard this, his face turned pale with fright. Coincidentally, a sudden explosion of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky. The young man's hair stood upside down and trembled. Trembling replied: "General-general-general, this must not be!" That envoy has the protection of the Supreme Ancestor, and if you kill him, you will be damned! βγ
As if to match his words, there was another bang in the sky, and the ground trembled. This made the young man even more convinced, and added: "So our Miao King, we will never dare to be unfavorable to that envoy!" The villain also advised the general to treat the envoy well, and not to be rude! βγ
When He Lin heard this, his face sank a little. Seeing this, the guards next to him immediately walked up to the young man. grabbed him by the collar and rewarded him with a few big-eared melon seeds without saying a word. And scolded: "How can this be reasonable! Dare to talk nonsense in front of the general, grow evil and make morale! βγ
This attack was neither light nor heavy, and soon the young man's face was swollen like a pig's head. He Lin waved his hand and asked the guards to step back. And the integrity of King Miao was crumpled into a ball and thrown in front of the young man. He said in a deep voice, "I don't believe in ghosts and gods! I only believe that you Miao Wang is incompetent! βγ
The young man did not dare to speak, so he could only nod his head.
Seeing this, He Lin continued: "After you go back, tell King Miao what the general said." After killing the evil envoy, Ben Jiang believed in his sincerity and named him the Eight Rank Ceremony. Otherwise, when Ben will lead his army into the city, he will be treated as a rebel. βγ
When the young man heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Seeing that the guards were coming over again, he quickly kowtowed and retreated. After he left, the guards asked with some confusion: "General, I don't know where you are." The leader of the rebels, King Miao, was willing to open the city gate and lead the army into the city. Why did you force him to kill the cult envoy like this? βγ
After all, after General Fukangan died due to rebellion, the saint hated these Miao leaders to the core. It would be a great credit if he could personally slay the supreme leader of the rebels, the Cult Envoy. And no matter who kills him, the saint will be happy. Maybe you can get a chance to look up at the sky. It's a pity to give it to the Miao King now. In addition, persecuting King Miao like this is likely to make King Miao regret and backfire.
The worries and doubts of the guards are naturally clear to Helin. Still, he did so, apparently with his own considerations. He smiled and explained in a soothing tone: "That cult is full of tricks and tricks! Without seeing his head with my own eyes, it's hard for me to be sure if this could be his calculation again! βγ It was also He Lin who was frightened by Xu Lan's anti-sneak attack, so he acted very cautiously. Even if King Miao deliberately sent someone over to surrender to Cheng, he didn't dare to believe it immediately.
Half an hour later, it was completely dark. The thunder also disappeared into the sky, but the heavy rain did not stop.
And in the east of Jingxi City, in a three-in, three-out private house, Miao Wang Wu August was lying on a female child wearing a pink belly pocket, performing the Zhou Gong ceremony.
This is the residence of a large family, and this woman is the maidservant of a large family. Because there was nothing to eat in the whole city, this big family deliberately used this maid to scold Wu August so that he could give more rations.
At this time, facing the sound of rain outside the window, he rhythmically controlled the body of the girl and child. provoked the girl, the child, and kicked it.
Stimulated by this sting, Wu August's strength also became heavier.
Just as he felt like he was about to vent, there was a sudden knock on the door. Then listened: "King Miao, I'm back!" His voice was very low, and his speech was a little slurred.
Wu August was taken aback by this, and snorted coldly in some disappointment. Grabbing a piece of clothing, he walked away from the girl. When he opened the door, the cold wind blew, and he was in a bad mood. He kicked the young man and asked angrily, "Why did you come back now?" βγ
When I saw his swollen face, I couldn't see it well. And he said that he would go back and speak again, and he prepared to take the young man away.
But at this time, the male owner of this family came forward with a smile on his face. When Wu August saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, he knew that he was asking for benefits.
He said wait and strode out the door.
Immediately after, the young man entered the courtyard with a dozen guards. I only heard a few low screams, and there was no movement. When the guards came out again, everyone's knives were bleeding.
"The bodies are all hidden, right?" , Wu August asked with a calm face. Because the rebels, whether voluntary or passive, were not allowed to have relations with women from good families. If discovered, there is only one way out. Therefore, Wu August will never let this family survive tonight.
It's also that this family is too naΓ―ve! Delusional bribery and bribery to gain benefits. As a result, he took his own life.
The young man also knew that the envoy was very strict in governing the army, so he hurriedly replied that everything had been dealt with. (To be continued.) )
