Chapter Eighty-Nine: Keeping People Under the Knife!
Zhu Qing led a thousand soldiers and horses straight to Tongguan.
At this time, Tongguan is holding a grand ceremony, asking to kill the wind!
If this is a ritual, it is because of the weight of killing wind. He Renlong had heard of the friendship between Killing Feng and Chongzhen earlier. He didn't believe that Chongzhen would ignore the life or death of the killing wind, so he had already released the wind and asked the killing wind at noon today. The purpose is to see the movements of Chongzhen and Sun Chuanting. However, it was already close to noon, and there was no sound in Kaifeng.
"General, kill or not?" The supervisor asked He Renlong.
"Did He take back what he said? Kill! He Renlong was a little annoyed.
Just as Killing Feng was being escorted to the execution ground, someone suddenly came to report, "Report to the general, Yangdao has been attacked!" ”
Sheep Road, is the left side of Tongguan, previously guarded by He Renlong's brother He Zhang, He Zhang was placed under house arrest Chongzhen, was rescued by Zhu Qing, He Zhang was annoyed and angry, chased and killed Zhu Qing, but died tragically under Zhu Qing's full moon scimitar. After He Zhang's death, He Renlong took a lot of trouble to reorganize the sheep road and sent one of his own generals, Yan Fei, to guard it. Because Yangdao is also related to the safety of the Ming Dynasty, seeing that He Renlong is very attentive, Chongzhen and Sun Chuanting did not delve into the issue of He Zhang.
Now that the sheep road is under attack, He Renlong is puzzled, Li Zicheng outside the gate does not move, and Sun Chuanting in Kaifeng is still resting behind closed doors, who is so bold and dares to invade the sheep road? Besides, Yan Fei, the sheep road guard, is He Renlong's tiger general, and he never let He Renlong worry about it, what's wrong today?
"Who's coming? Can you see clearly? He Renlong questioned the communication soldier.
"If the little one is not mistaken, it should be General Sun's person?" The communications officer replied.
"General Sun? Didn't he rest behind closed doors? Why did you suddenly sneak up on the sheep road? He Renlong muttered. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "How many soldiers and horses does the other party have?" ”
"Visually about a thousand. But they all seem to be strong, and the vanguard is even more courageous. Even General Yan Fei couldn't hold it anymore. The communications soldier replied truthfully.
"Presumptuous, dare to raise the morale of others to destroy their own prestige, come on, pull down the military law to deal with it!" The warden listened to the words of the communication soldier, glanced at the color of He Renlong, and shouted angrily. Several guards stepped forward to restrain the signal corps.
"Wait!" He Renlong snorted, if it was usual, he was more anxious than the prison officer and the others, but he needed to know more about the sheep road.
"I ask you, what does the pioneer look like?" He Renlong walked up to the communications officer.
He ...... He is not very old, but he was born with good skills, a handsome face, and a forehead ...... Wearing a cape, by the way, carrying a box on his back! The communications soldier recalled.
"A crate?"
"That's right."
"Is it Jinyiwei?" The supervisor glanced at He Renlong.
"And it's not your average brocade guard." He Renlong nodded and replied.
In addition to the four saints of the capital, there are only those who can carry a box on their backs in the brocade guard. No one else. Each of them can be in charge of their own affairs.
"Which one will it be?" The supervisor and He Renlong whispered.
"The White Tiger and the Vermilion Bird suppressed bandits in Hunan, the Xuanwu fought against the Japanese along the coast, and the Qinglong was said to be guarding the Shanhaiguan Pass. Could it be that there are others? He Renlong muttered to himself.
The supervisor shook his head, saying that he didn't know either, and in the end, He Renlong asked himself, "It's Qinglong." ”
"How so?" The warden asked.
"Qinglong, this person is often a divine dragon, and he does not see the end of the head. A few days ago, Wu Sangui heard that Qinglong was fighting against the Japanese in Dengzhou, so he sent Hu Wei to control Shanhaiguan, but in less than three days, Qinglong returned to Shanhaiguan to recapture Shanhaiguan from Hu Wei. Besides, don't you forget, Killing Wind is the master of Qinglong? "He Renlong still has some intelligence, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to defend Tongguan for so many years, and the army would not dare to attack.
"What does the general mean that Qinglong wants to attack the east and west, rob the execution ground, and save the wind?!" The warden asked.
He Renlong nodded.
"Then we'll kill the wind now, and see what he Qinglong is capable of?" The warden said, drawing out the warden card. When I looked up, the sun was shining. He Renlong nodded, which was considered acquiescence. The warden threw out the token and yelled, "Slash! The executioner stood on a high platform and raised his broadsword high......
Killing the wind did not kneel, He Renlong did not embarrass him, everyone had died for the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the world is now, the Tao is not the same, but this inner sympathy is still extremely strong, if it is not for the killing wind not to be convinced, He Renlong may not make a decision so quickly.
"Hmph, Lord Killing Wind, you and I are colleagues, you can say anything else, you have saved Tongguan, as long as I can do it, it is absolutely unambiguous." He Renlong knew that he didn't want to give up killing at the last moment. Because Killing Wind has been in power for so many years, both black and white are in awe of him. It can be seen that the person who kills the wind is a person.
"Hahaha, who hasn't died since ancient times? You and I are colleagues, and I have no other to ask for, but to give me a good time! "Killing the wind stood up to the sky, laughing, roaring loudly. This young man, who was not a few years older than Zhu Qing, was in a cloaked hair at the moment, but he was full of energy and regarded death as home. Admirable.
Seeing the killing wind, the intention has been decided. He Renlong knew that it was useless to say more, so he turned around, closed his eyes, raised his fingers, and waved them.
"Slash!" The warden shouted again.
The executioner's machete fell from the sky, carrying a dim sunset......
"Keep people under the knife!" Suddenly there was a shout, the most touching episode. Zhu Qing rode a wind-chasing horse and rushed into the execution ground, and there was one more person on the horseback!
"Brother Yan?!" He Renlong exclaimed.
"Big brother!" Yan Fei was tied up and straddled on horseback.
Zhu Qing rushed into the execution ground, and saw that the executioner's knife was still falling, he pulled out the full moon scimitar and threw it out, Zhu Qing did not ask for the executioner's life, but just "bang" and knocked out the machete in his hand!
"Master!" Zhu Qing saw that his lips were a little pale and screamed.
Killing Wind smiled slightly, "I should be writing a letter that won't let you come." ”
"Master, if the master is in trouble, how can the apprentice not be saved?" Zhu Qing hugged his fist at Killing Wind. Then he turned to He Renlong and shouted, "He Renlong, I respect you as a man, we celebrities don't do dark things, if you let my master go, I will let you go as a brother." ”
It turns out that this Yan Fei is He Renlong's brother, compared with He Zhang, he is not unfamiliar, although this person has some ability, but he is young and irritable, has no determination, and is a fierce general in battle, but he is brave and strategic. This news was told to Zhu Qing by Sai Shiqian, which is also part of Zhu Qing's plan.
"Hmph, sneak attack on my sheep road, trying to attack the east and west, Qinglong, dare to ask, are you a Ming person? Isn't what you're doing dark? The warden said stiffly.
"Huh? You say that I am a big talker, so let me tell you. I'm not making a noise, I'm here after laying the sheep road. I thought this person would be useful to you, so I brought it here, and. You are not effective in guarding the sheep road, and I am ordered by General Sun to take over the sheep road. He Renlong, you should know what Yangdao means to Tongguan. It seems to me now, do I still need to make a sound? Zhu Qing said, and grabbed Yan Fei.
"You!" He Renlong was enraged, if it was usual, how could he allow others to be so arrogant in front of him, but at this moment, he held back, he had already lost a He Zhang, and he didn't want to watch Yan Fei fall in front of him anymore.
"Qinglong, I, He Renlong, have no grievances or enmity with you, but you have repeatedly opposed me, first killing my second brother He Zhang, and now kidnapping my third brother Yan Fei. Destroy my sheep road twice. Do you think I'll be willing to put this revenge on my side? "He Renlong is not a person who is easily soft-hearted, he has some concerns, but he also has his own temper.
"First of all, He Zhang treasoned and defected to the enemy, as the eldest brother and boss, you tolerated and nurtured traitors, and delusionally wanted to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes; Second, my master killed the wind to save you from Tongguan, not only did you not repay your kindness, but you will take revenge, and vainly want to use my master as a bait to lure General Sun out of the customs. Which of these two can I give up? Zhu Qing turned his lips to each other.
"Less nonsense! Today's Da Ming is no longer the Da Ming I know, why don't we have a way out for ourselves? ! He Renlong finally said this!
"Well, traitors always have many excuses. Qinglong, don't talk nonsense with him, cut that kid down! I have been on the battlefield for half my life, and I have never surrendered to anyone, and I am already proud of myself, and I am even more proud to accept you as an apprentice. If you want to admit that I am your master, just listen to the master's last words and cut that kid! Guard the sheep road, take Tongguan, and keep the Ming Dynasty. "Killing the wind and teaching Zhu Qing sharply.
"Master!" Zhu Qing looked at Zhu Qing, tears almost fell, but at this moment, he couldn't shed tears. He wants to be strong, he wants to get out alive from here, and get out of Tongguan alive with a killing wind!
"Yikes!" Zhu Qing raised his head and saw that he was about to cut down towards Yan Fei.
"Big brother!" Yan Fei screamed in surprise, already crying.
"Stop!" He Renlong finally gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Humph!" Zhu Qing looked at He Renlong, smiled coldly, and the machete stopped in mid-air.
"Let go." He Renlong waved his hand at the supervisor.
"Your Excellency!" The warden didn't seem reluctant.
"I said release people!" He Renlong shouted, and all the soldiers were frightened.
"Yes, yes, yes! Let go! The warden announced. The two guards helped Killing Wind untie the shackles and leg shackles, and put Killing Wind next to Zhu Qing.
"Master!" Looking at the weak killing wind, Zhu Qing exclaimed.
"Qinglong, I'll let you go, if my third brother is a little damaged, you two don't want to get out of Tongguan alive!" He Renlong was furious.
"Hmph. Take it! Zhu Qing said, pushing Yan Fei onto the two guards, and then helping Killing Feng onto the horse.
"Hey, be careful!" Taking advantage of their catch of Yan Fei, Zhu Qing quickly turned his horse's head, whipped violently, and rushed out of the city gate.
"Bring the bow!" He Renlong shouted angrily. As a result, a big bow set up three feather arrows, and shot at Zhu Qing and Killing Feng, who rushed out of the city gate, and the three arrows were fired together. Strong, precise and fast.
"Be careful!" I only heard a scream of killing wind, and then I heard "jingle bell...... Yes! ”
"Drive!" Zhu Qing didn't care much, so he whipped his horsewhip and jumped out of Tongguan after the wind.
