Chapter 688 Borrowing a knife to kill people is good at it

"Go back, Suzhou Mansion got accurate news that Mr. Mei is dead!"

"Hmph, it's good to die, it's not enough to succeed and there is more than anything to lose, if it weren't for the master to have a place to use him, Lao Tzu would have chopped him up a long time ago. Tell to go down, wait with peace of mind, and guard the whole town, not to mention people, even a fly is not allowed to fly out, and after tonight, Suzhou Mansion will change the sky! ”

The ghost-faced man is still a little too optimistic, I don't know if the sky in Suzhou Mansion will change, anyway, Chama Town is a little unsafe, because just now there was a group of soldiers and horses coming towards Chama Town, and the leader was a silver-armored general, and among the Chinese army, there was also a mighty man riding a fiery red dragon horse. The town of Brake is destined to be an extraordinary place, as this place will witness the end of a conspiracy.

The ghost-faced man looked at the sky, but he couldn't imagine that the biggest problem he faced next, was actually how to kill the horse town!

This place is very special, the south side is against the Taicang River, the north is the Changzhou jungle, and the east is separated by a mountain. There were a lot of secret sentinels on the outskirts of Shama Town, and when those dark sentinels saw that army, they were so frightened that they were about to come out. A small minion fled back with a sword and wolf on his back, and only stopped when he entered Shama Town, "Leader, it's not good, it's not good, there are a large number of soldiers and horses coming towards us, and the leader seems to be Yang Zaixing."

"Haha, what a panic. Aren't they just some officers and soldiers? Haha, uh, who did you just say? "Ghostface didn't take it seriously. But he soon came back to his senses, Yang Zaixing is the most loyal dog-legged part-time thug under Zhao's command, and this Yang Someone's coming to Brake Town will definitely not be a good thing. Could it be that the grain has been discovered? The ghost-faced man was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat, jumped up and shouted in a panic, "Quick, quick, half of the people will go and gamble on the bridge." The rest of the people immediately destroyed the food, quick"

The ghost-faced man knows very well that even if this batch of grain is destroyed, it will not fall into the hands of the Dingguo Army, with this batch of grain, Zhao Yougong can easily appease the Taicang Righteous Army and control the situation in Suzhou Mansion, Suzhou Mansion will not be chaotic, and Xiuzhou will not have problems. Ruined this batch of grain, although the master also lost the bargaining chips to control the Taicang rebels, at least he could prevent Zhao from recruiting the rebels. As long as the Taicang rebels are still making trouble, Suzhou Mansion will not be able to settle down.

There is a stone bridge to the west of the town of Chama. This stone bridge spans the Taicang River and is the only stone bridge in the area of Shama Town, and there are bridges in other places, but you have to take a long detour. The Ghostface knew that the matter was serious, so he personally led the people to garrison the stone bridge, while the rest of the people stayed in the town to gather the grain, and if there was an accident, they immediately burned the grain and grass. In the west of the stone bridge, Yang Zaixing held a horse and held a clairglass to look at the situation in Brake Town, the east side of the stone bridge was already full of bandits, Yang Zaixing smiled slightly, and divided a team of 1,000 people to go elsewhere, this team of 1,000 people immediately gave up their horses and quietly went to the river. After waiting for the thousand-strong team to leave for a while, Yang Zaixing ordered everyone to approach the stone bridge.

The next thing is a little simple, the ghost-faced man is shrewd, but he is also a little clever who belongs to the people of the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't know the art of war at all, he thinks that as long as the stone bridge is blocked, the Dingguo army will have to make a detour even if it wants to break through, but when more than a thousand people crawl out of the water, the entire east of the stone bridge fell into chaos, and Yang Zaixing also took the opportunity to wave his troops to seize the stone bridge, and in the face of this gang of rabble, he broke through the stone bridge in just one round. The ghost-faced man regretted it a little, because now he couldn't escape if he wanted to, and he was anxious in the face of the steady stream of soldiers, if he didn't give his own order, the people in the town wouldn't dare to set fire to the food, how could this be good?

Yang Zaixing's eyes were sharp, and he saw the person wearing the ghost mask at a glance, with a spear, several cavalrymen brandished cavalry knives and rushed towards the ghost-faced man, in the face of this kind of rapid and ruthless killing, even if the ghost-faced person has a high level of martial arts, he is still a little unbearable, if Yang Zaixing is elegant, then the person behind Yang Zaixing is a little vicious, this person is holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, and a strong bow on horseback, isn't it that Shi Wengong? With a squint of his eyes, Shi Wengong picked up the strong bow and pointed an arrow at the ghost-faced man, this arrow was as fast as a meteor, when the ghost-faced man heard the wind and wanted to dodge, it was too late, the wolf's tooth arrow pierced into the shoulder, and the powerful force, wearing the ghost-faced man's body shook, those cavalry would not let go of this opportunity, knocked out the three-pointed knife in the ghost-faced man's hand, and the rope was shot, tying the ghost-faced man and dragging him to the ground.

The battle ended quickly, and the bandits who stayed in the town did not get the order of the ghost-faced man, and they did not dare to burn food, and when Yang Zaixing led his troops to break into Brake Town, it was too late for these people to burn food.

Zhao Yougong rode the red dragon horse across the stone bridge slowly, looking at the ghost-faced man kneeling on the edge of the stone bridge, he sneered faintly, "Take off his mask, this king wants to see who is so bold and dares to stir up wind and rain on this king's territory." ”

Yue Laosan was the most unwilling to be lonely, jumped off the horse and rolled up his sleeves to take off the mask for the ghost-faced man, this person looked too ordinary, with a pair of big eyes, a somewhat collapsed nose, and a public face, but seeing this person's appearance, Zhao Yougong couldn't help but be taken aback. To be precise, not only Zhao Yougong knows this person, but even Tang Miao and Yang Zaixing also know this person, this person's name is Huan Ru, the current commander of the infantry division of the front division of the palace, and he is the henchman lackey of the prodigal prime minister Li Bangyan.

I really didn't expect that Li Bangyan would be involved in the end, and only one Li Bangyan dared to think crookedly about Suzhou Mansion? Not to mention whether he has the courage or not, even if he messes up Suzhou Mansion, what good will it do him Li Bangyan, for the salt works of Xiuzhou and Hangzhou? Gradually, the smile on Zhao Yougong's face became more and more weird, and he saw him raise his eyebrows and do something surprising, "Come on, let's loosen the ties for Huan Ru!" ”

As soon as His Royal Highness Zhao said this, Shi Wengong almost didn't fall off the horse, General Shi Wengong opened his eyes and looked left and right, looking confused, is there something wrong with his ears, or is there something wrong with His Highness's brain? The corners of Mu Wanqing's mouth twitched, she had followed His Royal Highness Zhao for many years. But I know the character of this thief. If he had any puzzling decisions. Eighty percent of them didn't have any good intentions. Waving his hand, signaling everyone not to hesitate, he raised his eyebrows and snorted, "Why don't you loosen the tie for General Huan?" ”

Huan Ru was a little dumbfounded, it was a good thing to be loosened, but Huan Ru felt that this was even more frightening than a knife in his neck. Damn, they all say that Zhao Yougong is scheming and extremely damaging. What the hell is he going to do now? Regardless of whether Huan Ru was willing or not, he was still free, and after getting up, Huan Ru got up a little embarrassed and arched his hand, "The villain Huan Ru has seen His Highness." ”

"Hey, Huan Ru, Huan Ru, this king got a letter before that the third brother sent General Huan to Suzhou, and he didn't believe it at the time, but it seems to be true. Huan Ru, this time the king will let you go back. It can be regarded as giving the third brother a face, but you go back to tell His Royal Highness King Sùyun. The affairs of Suzhou Mansion and Xiuzhou will never allow others to interfere, and next time, don't blame this king for not being emotional, now hurry up, and when this king regrets it, you have to stay here even if you have ten lives! ”

His Royal Highness Zhao's expression changed too quickly, he was still smiling just now, and in a blink of an eye, it was covered with frost, Huan Ru's heart was like exploding, he couldn't understand why His Royal Highness King Qin was so sure that this matter had something to do with His Royal Highness King Yun, but now is not the time to think about this, it is important to save his life. Huan Ru arched his hand and ran away without looking back, his fleeing wolf was unbearable, like a rabbit ravaged by wolves.

Huan Ru left, the grain was found, and then Yang Zaixing personally escorted the grain and grass to Taicang County, it seems that all things have been solved, but the doubts left in everyone's hearts have not been solved. In the evening, the Taicang River flows quietly, like a clear-water curtain, covering the vast land, the willows are still around, a few birds spread their wings and fly by, Zhao Yougong leans on the willows, Mu Niangzi touches His Royal Highness Zhao's head with her left hand, pinching her waist with her right hand, and her delicate face is full of unhappiness, "Thief, tell me quickly, when did you get the news, why didn't I know that Zhao Kai made this thing?" ”

"Wan'er, you calm down and think about it, in fact, this matter is not complicated at all, what kind of person is Li Bangyan, that is the master who is unprofitable and cannot afford to be early, he is bent on climbing up, but he is stepping on Wang Hao and Cai Jing on the top of his head, can he be willing? So, since it is not possible to follow the official family, he must change someone to follow, and now in the Great Song Dynasty, there are only three people that Li Bangyan can see in his eyes, the prince Zhao Huan, the king of Yun, Zhao Kai, and then me. Zhao Huan's side, we have been paying attention, but we have never heard of how close the summoning is to Li Bangyan, so the only one left is Zhao Kai. Moreover, Zhao Huan didn't have the courage to go against this king, especially if he still had Chai Keyan by his side, he wouldn't be stupid! ”

"Well, listening to you say this, it really makes sense, but why do you want to let Huan Ru go, wouldn't it be better to kill Huan Ru and give Zhao Kai a dismount?" Mu Niangzi is a bold chivalrous woman, her heart will never have so many twists and turns, Zhao Yougong smiled, pulled Mu Niangzi into his arms, stroked her shoulder, and whispered, "You, think about things too simply, killing Huan Ru will not benefit us at all, but keep Huan Ru, Huan Ru's mouth can help us do many things." At present, the situation in Jiangnan is very complicated, but a third brother can't afford such a big storm, I'm afraid there are still others in Xuanzhou, the third brother stretched out his hand to Suzhou Mansion, eighty percent was used, and I, I don't turn my face with the third brother, through Huan Ru's mouth, to provoke it, sometimes sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, the urn eats the dog, it is still very interesting, far more convenient than we do it ourselves. ”

What Zhao Yougong did was after some consideration, there was chaos in several places in the south of the Yangtze River, obviously it was impossible for only Zhao Kai to toss, a Zhao Kai did not have such great energy, except for Zhao Kai, the rest was Zhao Huan. Chai Keyan is really smart, he didn't do it himself, but he instigated Zhao Kai to come to Suzhou Mansion to cause trouble, if Zhao Kai really succeeded, the Suozhou Mansion would be in chaos, and he Zhao Yougong would not allow the Jiangnan forces to collapse and collapse, not to mention, the interests of Xiuzhou Salt Farm would inevitably be taken away. If Zhao Kai is not successful, he can also succeed in making him Zhao Yougong and Zhao Kai fight, which can really be said to kill multiple birds with one stone. Zhao Yougong naturally wouldn't fall for this kind of evil, so he let Huan Ru go, so that he could treat him in the same way.

Chai Keyan said that this woman really can't stay, but it's not easy to kill her, not to mention, she is pregnant with her own child. After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Yougong summed up one thing, that is, Chai Keyan is crazy, which is simply unreasonable.

On the second day, there was good news from Taicang, and the Taicang rebels had surrendered. The rebellious people who had been in Suzhou for nearly a month were appeased. At the same time, Hou Fangyi, Yao Su and others became the most pitiful unlucky eggs. Not only was he abandoned by Huan Ru, but he was finally tortured to death by the angry rebels. At the end of August, Suzhou Mansion was restored to peace, and Xuanzhou and other places were still in chaos, but what happened to Xuanzhou had nothing to do with Zhao Yougong, he was not a philanthropist, he only took care of his Suzhou Mansion.

Early September. Zhao Yougong hit his horse and returned to Bianliang, but at this time, the palace of King Yun was depressed. Zhao Kai stood at the table with a complicated expression, and Huan Ru was kneeling on the ground, and even Li Bangyan stood aside with his head bowed without saying a word.

Zhao Kai felt that his series of plans were perfect, why did he fail? However, this is also an important reason why Zhao Yougong dared to let Huan Ru come back, Zhao Kai is too conceited, he has been amazing since he was a child, and he feels that he will never make a mistake. Since you can't make mistakes, you will definitely find the fault of others. Because there is always a reason for failure, "How can this be?" Huan Ru, did you leak something, otherwise how could Zhao Yougong see through such a plan? ”

As soon as Zhao Kai's words came out, Huan Ru's body was shocked, and he kowtowed like pounding garlic, "Your Highness, the villain swears to the sky, and he will never leak half a sentence" Suddenly Huan Ru remembered what Zhao Yougong had said that day, he thought about it, and said with some uncertainties, "Your Highness, when you left that day, His Royal Highness King Qin inadvertently said a word, he said that someone had sent him a secret letter in advance, saying that His Royal Highness King Yun had planned the affairs of Suzhou Mansion. ”

"What? Is this really the case? Zhao Kai was shocked, his eyes became gloomy, in fact, Zhao Kai asked this, and he already believed Huan Ru's words in his heart, because only in this way could he explain why he had lost so badly. Huan Ru nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, the little one doesn't dare to deceive you, and the little one swears to the sky, if there is half a lie in this matter, the sky will be thundered." However, Your Highness, His Royal Highness the King of Qin should have inadvertently said something at that time, and he never mentioned it again."

Zhao Kai condensed his eyebrows and pondered, Li Bangyan leaned over at this time and whispered, "Your Highness, the minister said before that you can't trust the crown princess, hum, let us go to Suzhou Mansion, and then leak the whole plan to His Royal Highness the King of Qin behind his back, this is to weaken us by the hand of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, hum, a good one to kill people with a knife, no matter whether we win or lose, as long as the benefits are not harmful to the East Palace." However, the crown princess still expected a little wrong, our Royal Highness the King of Qin is not simple, and it seems that she doesn't want to be led by the nose. ”

Zhao Kai nodded with an unkind expression, his fists were only clenched, "Big brother, big brother, you really married a good woman, what should I do next, that Brother Ling is not easy to bully." ”

Zhao Kai was very jealous of Zhao Yougong, to be precise, he was a little afraid, because Zhao Ling had nearly 200,000 elite soldiers, and his power swept the northwest, and he occupied Hedong and Xijing. Li Bangyan is not afraid of Zhao Yougong, His Royal Highness King Qin does not kill His Royal Highness King Yun, that is a comprehensive consideration, but he Li Bangyan is not so polite, pondered carefully, and said a little solemnly, "Your Highness, we have to take the initiative to find His Royal Highness King Qin to reconcile, no matter what His Royal Highness does, as long as we can obtain His Royal Highness King Qin's understanding." ”

"Then Zhao Ling will repay him, and he will forgive this king" Zhao Kai really has no confidence in this, he knows a lot about this Ling Ge'er, and those who have enemies with him often have no good end.

Zhao Kai has no confidence, but Li Bangyan has enough confidence, because as long as His Royal Highness King Qin is determined to be in the world, he will definitely forgive His Royal Highness King Yun, after all, the opponent belongs to the opponent, but the stupid thing of being used as a knife by others will still not be done. At present, His Royal Highness King Qin's power in Tokyo is weak, how can he kill His Royal Highness King Yun?

Bianliang City in September is refreshing and pleasant, a little cool with some autumn breath, back to Bianliang for four days, these four days Zhao Yougong did not go anywhere, just waited quietly, as if the things in Suzhou had never happened. This relaxation, people are also a lot more refreshed, every day with the teacher to raise flowers to play chess, bored to point out a few hands of cheap apprentices, in short, there is always something to do.

On the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, someone sent an invitation, which turned out to be Zhao Kai who invited him to a banquet in Chufang Building. I haven't been to Fanglou for many years, and it's been almost nine years since Nian Nu'er left, so it's been almost nine years, and time flies really fast when I think about it. Zhao Kai took the initiative to invite, Zhao Yougong naturally wanted to go, he cleaned up and went to Bianhe Street accompanied by his teacher. Five years ago, Shishi was a courtesan, and it was the signboard of Deyue Tower, but now who dares to point to Shishi and say a courtesan? It's not just because the identity of the teacher has changed, but the most important thing is that since the master has moved into the Chu Palace, every word and deed, every idea, has made people feel this woman's ability.

Master Li, this charming ice beauty, is actually not weak at all, that year a few gentlemen came to the Chu Wangfu to make noise, it was she who broke the legs of those bent legs, and finally threw them into the stinky ditch outside the sour jujube door.

Time is in a hurry, constantly changing, ten years of life, vicissitudes of life, an ordinary person has felt ten years in a hurry, and for these Chuguan women, ten years is like a lifetime, ordinary people may be a process of weakness, a process of struggle, a process of prosperity, but a woman in Chuguan has to experience from youth to maturity, from maturity to the peak, from the peak to decay. A woman is a flower, and the flower can't bloom for four seasons, just like the Cui Ying'er in Fanglou, when Nian Nu'er left, Cui Ying'er and Li Xi'er were the two most dazzling women in Bianliang City. But now Li Xi'er has become the manager in the entertainment city, and she is no longer as dazzling as before, and Cui Ying'er is even more miserable.

Coming to the Fanglou, Wu's mother greeted her with a fart, how many years have she not been to the Fanglou, naturally she hasn't seen Wu's mother for many years, and when I met again, I saw a few more wrinkles on Wu's mother's forehead. Although Mother Wu was sincerely afraid, after all, she had not pitted King Zhao Xiaojun back then, but how could His Royal Highness Zhao today be as careless as Mother Wu, looked at it, and spit out three words after a long time, "You are old!" ”

What's the scariest thing about a woman? It's not that it's mutilated, it's that it's getting old, even if Mother Wu is the best son. Somehow, Mother Wu was a little stunned, her eyes were full of mist, "Your Highness's slave family welcomes Your Highness"

"Excuse me, Mother Wu, what about Cui Ying'er?" Zhao Yougong really wants to know where Cui Ying'er went, this woman's eyes were above the top back then, I don't know how she is doing now?

Mother Wu looked a little embarrassed, lowered her head, and after her eyes rolled for a while, she said cautiously, "Cui Ying'er is helping in the kitchen, in fact, two years ago, Cui Ying'er was not good, His Royal Highness just said right, old, the women in this building are aging too fast!" ”

Mother Wu's words are talking about Cui Ying'er, and she is also talking about herself. The woman who walked into the building was only ten years, but the woman who went out could have a hundred years, Nian Nu'er, Li Shishi, this pair of famous Oiran leaders in the capital, if they didn't go out, maybe they would have died in which corner, the best result is not to be a concubine for a big family. Going out, what a good wish, but unfortunately not every woman can go out, Chufanglou is a cage, it is easy to come in and difficult to get out, even if it is Mother Wu herself.

In the private room of Jiazi, Zhao Yougong saw Zhao Kai, who had been waiting for a long time, His Royal Highness King Yun, who was full of spring breeze, looked uneasy, he stood at the window, listening to Zhao Yougong coming, hurriedly walked over, and even arched his hand a little flatteringly, "Brother Ling, you can let your brother wait, sit down quickly, otherwise the food will be cold!" ”

Zhao Yougong was not surprised at all by Zhao Kai's expression, he could afford to put it down, and our third brother was not simple. That's fine, if it's really the kind of person who can't hide things, he can't fight firewood.

"Third brother, are you too anxious, isn't it unitary time, this time hasn't passed yet, hehe!" Zhao Yougong smiled mysteriously, held the teacher's hand and went to the main seat, to be honest, Zhao Yougong's words and deeds were very polite, he lived in the main seat, and said that it was not too late, and he was not even polite. If it was before, Zhao Yougong wouldn't be like this, but this time he said so, the arrogant Zhao Kai still suffered it alive, "Haha, it's my brother's fault, it's my brother's fault, it's my brother's fault, it's too early for my brother!" ”

"Well, it's too early!"

Zhao Yougong curled the corners of his mouth and smiled evilly, Bianliang City is really getting more and more interesting, Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, Zhao Kai plus the fourth sister, what will this Bianliang look like in the future? (To be continued......)
