Chapter 791: Dark Day
The fire in Yusuo Lake was getting smaller and smaller, and the continuous screams that had been raging before were much quieter, and thousands of officers and soldiers had already lost most of their lives in this battle without even having a fair fight with their opponents.
By dawn, the battle was nearing its end, and the fire was almost extinguished, except for a few ships that fell into the hands of the Huang family or were sunk, most of the ships were killed in the flames.
Officers and men were either killed by arrows, hacked to death with knives, drowned in water, burned to death, or frozen to death in the lake.
Huang Tianyi looked a little tired, yawned, stood up and stretched, suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "By the way, the Governor gave us such a big gift, we should also return a gift to others. ”
Huang Zhigui seemed to understand something, nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, big brother, I'm ready." ”
The shores around Yusuo Lake were as silent as death.
Yuan Chongshang sat on the ground, this fiasco obviously hit him hard, since he sat down last night, he didn't even stand up again.
"Your Excellency, look at ......!" One of them suddenly exclaimed.
Many people have already seen that from Yusuo Lake, a flat boat is leisurely rowing over here.
Chu Huan jumped on a big rock, and saw the boat slowly approaching, his eyes were sharp, and at this time, he actually saw that on the flat boat, there were two wooden shelves, and two naked men were tied to the wooden frame at this time, standing side by side, and there was only one boatman who operated the boat.
The guards under Chu Huan will not be far behind Chu Huan at this moment, and when he saw the boat coming, Xuanyuan Sheng waved his hand, and dozens of guards had already rushed over, bent their bows and arrows, and aimed at the incoming boat.
Yuan Chongshang also showed surprise when he saw a small boat coming, he slowly stood up, the boat was some distance from the shore, and then stopped, and the boatman hid his body behind him, and said in a loud voice: "Is Governor Yuan here?" ”
Yuan Chongshang clenched his hands into fists and said sharply: "Who are you?" ”
"You are Governor Yuan?" The other party laughed playfully and said: "Your Excellency Governor, my master said that you gave him a generous gift, and my master is most afraid of indebtedness, so he gave back a big gift." ”
"What do you mean?" The master asked sharply beside Yuan Chongshang, "What the hell do you want to do?" ”
"I wonder if the Governor remembers these two?" The boatman hid behind the naked man and said loudly: "These two are sneaking around on the island, just yesterday, my master arrested them and interrogated them, these two people confessed to be the Governor's people, my master has great respect for the Governor, since they are the Governor's people, let them go, let the small one back to the Governor's Lord...... These two people were still alive just now, but now I don't know if they are still alive ......! He reached out from behind, poked the noses of the two men, and said apologetically: "Your Excellency, I'm really sorry, I thought these two guys were strong, but ...... But I didn't expect that they would all die without freezing like this, ...... they all seemed to be dead! ”
Yuan Chongshang was furious, his big official, the dignified governor, was already angry after a fiasco, and at this time, a small boatman was also abusing him, which made him angry, and shouted: "Shoot him!" ”
The archers of the Guards naturally did not obey his command, and they all looked at Chu Huan, but the boatman already knew that things were not good, but he was prepared, and laughed: "Shoot me?" Lord Governor, I'm afraid you don't have that ability. ”
He had already scurried to the side of the boat, as if intent on showing his superb waterness, and a dry onion plucked from the side of the boat, and rose into the air with a very graceful posture, and fell down to the lake.
Almost as soon as the man rose to his feet, an arrow of feathered lightning pierced the icy air and shot straight at the boatman.
The boatman didn't expect such a fast arrow at all, and he even calculated that even if he deliberately humiliated Yuan Chongshang and jumped into the lake in a beautiful posture, it was only a matter of blink of an eye.
He didn't expect that in such a short period of time, an arrow would come like a meteor.
He was in the air, and he had nowhere to draw on it, and he watched as the sharp arrow came at him, and the moment he fell into the lake, it sank into his neck like a poisonous snake, piercing through it.
At dawn, the man fell into the water, he struggled in the lake, and the lake was flooded with waves, but soon, the waves gradually disappeared, and the man slowly sank into the lake, and the ripples spread and recovered, but the lake was covered with red blood.
Most people on the shore saw this fatal arrow, and everyone's mood was unusually heavy, and the atmosphere was also unusually gloomy, but this arrow made everyone feel a little uplifted.
Everyone immediately looked over, but saw that the one who shot this arrow was suddenly the young Lord Qincha, and at this time, Chu Huan was returning the bow and arrow in his hand to the soldiers beside him.
Everyone was stunned, most people saw Chu Huan wearing an official robe, they thought that this was just an official, and at this moment, they suddenly realized that this Lord Qincha, who seemed to be very low-key, had such superb archery skills.
Of course, Chu Huan didn't intend to show his archery skills in front of everyone.
In the battle of Yusuo Lake, the officers and soldiers were almost wiped out, which was a great blow to the government, Chu Huan knew very well that the current Anyi Road was actually not stable.
He knew very well that although the Huang family was beaten into a chaotic party, the Huang family was a local family in Anyi, and after gaining power, they operated in Anyi for 20 years, and it can be said that it is deeply rooted in Anyi.
Now that the northwest is in turmoil, the southeast is in turmoil, and all kinds of rogues are raging, the whole empire is actually in a state of imminent action, and this situation is most likely to make those who have ambitions ready to move.
Chu Huan believes that although the Huang family was beaten into a chaotic party, many forces that had intersected with the Huang family quickly distanced themselves or even cleared their involvement, but this does not mean that those people's hearts are towards the court, in fact, he understands that many people have been on the sidelines, if the court is in power, those people will naturally be immobile, but once the Huang family is in power, then the environment in Anyi will become extremely sinister.
In this battle, Yuan Chongshang lost very completely, while the Huang family won very completely.
A small boatman dared to ridicule Yuan Chongshang in public, if this boatman could leave unharmed, it would undoubtedly be a defeat and a serious blow to the government represented by Yuan Chongshang.
He shot the boatman, although he was only one person, but at least on this dark day, a candle was lit, and at least there was still a trace of dignity in the government.
Chu Huan knew that Yuan Chongshang was the head of the Anyi Provincial Government, and at this moment, Yuan Chongshang's dignity was actually very important.
At this moment someone had jumped into the boat on the shore, approached it, pulled the boat to the shore, and then someone went up and untied the two dead naked men, covered them with clothes, and laid them on the shore.
Yuan Chongshang's steps were heavy, and he walked slowly to the side, and when he saw the faces of the two, his face was even whiter.
He planted eyeliner on the island, and the two people in front of him were the eyeliner he had secretly planted.
Yuan Chongshang finally understood at this time that he thought that his plan was very thorough and the plan was seamless, but in fact, everything was in the other party's control.
Everyone around Yuan Chongshang bridged this, Yuan Chongshang only felt that those eyes seemed to be full of disdain, his plan of night attack, but in the end it was completely used, resulting in the almost annihilation of the elite thousands of Praetorian Guards, this is undoubtedly a great shame, and it will also become a ridicule of the world.
His body was originally very strong, but staring at the two corpses at the moment, he felt that his eyes were gradually fainting, his head was dizzy, and the sky was spinning, and he suddenly felt a suffocation in his chest, and then he felt a sweetness in his throat, and a black in front of him, and the whole person had already leaned back, and he heard exclamations all around him, and vaguely saw that Chu Huan was also flying towards him, and he didn't know anything.
……
……
The Governor's Palace.
Yuan Chongshang felt that he had a nightmare, not only saw Huang Tianyi walking towards him with a steel knife with a cruel smile, but also saw the cold face of His Majesty the Emperor.
Huang Tianyi disappeared, but His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand, Yuan Chongshang saw several executioners of five big and three thick pounce up, press themselves to the ground, and a ghost head knife cut down in the air, Yuan Chongshang screamed and lost his voice, and then woke up from a dream, a spirit sat up, and then heard a miserable cry in his ears.
The cry was instantaneous, and soon a cry was heard in my ears: "Master, master, are you awake...... You're scared to death, sir, are you alright...... Quick, let someone bring porridge over ......! ”
Yuan Chongshang gasped heavily, and at this time he couldn't care about the screams around him, raised his hand and touched his neck, making sure that his head was still on his neck, so he breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and found that he was lying on the bed, covered with a brocade quilt, turned his head to look, and saw that there were several women in the room, all of whom were his wives and concubines.
"Shut up!" Yuan Chongshang heard the noisy sound of chirping, and was furious, "Who the hell screams again, Lao Tzu will break her neck ......!" ”
How dare the women scream again, for a time there was silence, and the room was as silent as death.
"Third child, come over here and help Lao Tzu up." Yuan Chongshang saw that the third lady was next to him, and at this time, he also saw that the woman was a little more pleasing to the eye, and the third lady immediately stepped forward and persuaded softly: "Master, you have just woken up, rest first, don't get up, what do you do, just tell us to do it......!" ”
Yuan Chongshang is very fond of the third lady on weekdays, but at this time, he said angrily: "Why is there so much nonsense, help me up." ”
The third lady didn't dare to say much, and carefully helped Yuan Chongshang to get up, Yuan Chongshang got out of bed, the third lady helped him to the table, Yuan Chongshang sat down here, and snorted at the teapot on the table, the third lady poured a cup of tea for Yuan Chongshang very obediently, Yuan Chongshang took the teacup, drank it in one gulp, raised his hand to wipe the tea at the corner of his mouth with the corner of his sleeve, and then asked, "How long have I been sleeping?" ”
The third lady hurriedly said: "The master came back yesterday afternoon, and when he came back, he was unconscious, so he invited the doctor to come, and the doctor said that the master was in a hurry, boiled two medicines, and fed the master to drink...... ”
Yuan Chongshang looked at the sky outside and asked, "What time is it?" ”
"It's noon." The third lady replied.
"Lord Chu...... Where is Lord Chinchachu? Yuan Chongshang asked urgently: "Over there in Yusuo Lake...... What's going on over there? ”
The third lady said: "Lord Chu came over in the morning, came in to visit the master and left, he said that when the master woke up, he would send someone to inform him of the ......!" Thinking of something, he said, "Yes, the master of the household department is still waiting in the main hall." ”
"Let him come over!"
When the master came over, as soon as one foot stepped into the door, Yuan Chongshang had already waved his hand to let the women in the house go out quickly, and when they left, the master bowed his body and cautiously stepped forward to salute, "My lord, you are awake, take care of your body!" ”
"Tell me quickly, what's the situation over there at Yusuo Lake?" Yuan Chongshang said anxiously: "Fang Shihao...... And Bendu's Praetorian Guard, how many people survived? ”
The master's voice was quite heavy, "Lord Hui, let's ...... this battle The soldiers we fought against were almost the whole army...... Annihilated......! Lowering his head, he raised his eyes slightly and looked at Yuan Chongshang, and saw that Yuan Chongshang was staring at him, so he could only continue: "According to the inventory, there are less than 300 soldiers who escaped death, and most of them died in ...... Died in the lake, and the Huang family was in chaos...... The rebels captured some of the people...... Now the surface of the Yusuo Lake is all ...... All of them were corpses, and the Huang family asked people to come over and spread the word, saying that they asked us to send a few boats to clean it up, and that it was ...... And said ......! He hesitated, but he didn't dare to continue.
