Chapter 72 Chrysostom's Thousand Armies Move Mountains and Change Their Sleeve Knives Turned into Anthuriums (10)
(Second update.) )
At four o'clock, in the eastern suburbs of Gangneung City, the eaves of Qinghui are reflected.
The movement of the gentleman's attack on the east gate spread for several miles, and it also fell into the ears of Xu Zhihe and Song Qiqiu. Tonight is destined to be unable to sleep peacefully, Xu Zhihe and Song Qiqiu are not sleepy, the two of them make tea and talk, but they seem to be content.
"The gentleman suddenly attacked the east gate, which means that the post house has changed, and the situation should be clear here." The city gate is closed, although it cannot completely isolate the Tsing Yi Yamen from transmitting news, but it will inevitably go through some twists and turns, and it will come slowly, when Song Qiqiu said this, he did not know the latest situation in Jiangling City.
The fragrance of tea is overflowing, the air is clear, Xu Zhihe behaves elegantly, tastes a sip of tea, and is about to speak, when a messenger comes in a hurry.
After listening to the messenger's words, Song Qiqiu was slightly surprised, "Good and dignified, why did the North Gate burst out to kill?" ”
"Who are the two sides who did it?" When Xu Zhihe asked this sentence, he felt that it was a little redundant, he originally wanted to ask if there were Gao Jixing and Li Congjing in it, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely.
"The gentlemen are all with the Gangneung army." The messenger replied that Gao Jixing went out of the city in the middle of the night, and hurriedly wanted to see Xu Zhihe, so it was naturally impossible to pull up the honor guard of the vassal king, because the messenger did not know that Gao Jixing was among them, "Looking at the situation, someone wanted to go out of the city, but was intercepted and killed by the gentlemen who rushed to the north gate in advance." ”
"All the gentlemen go to the north gate, or go to intercept and kill, what's going on?" Rao is based on Song Qiqiu's wisdom, and he can't immediately figure out the key here.
"Did Wu Deming reply?" Xu Zhihe asked, he was now desperate to know what Li Congjing's situation was, which was the core of all the problems. In the agreement with Wu Deming, as long as he succeeds, he will immediately send people out of the city and spread the news out of the city.
"Nope." The messenger remained outside the city gates, both to monitor the nearby city gates and to deliver messages for transit.
Song Qiqiu's face was solemn, and he began to analyze it in detail: "The gentleman attacked the east gate, naturally to meet Li Congjing, and his sudden division of troops to the north gate will not be without reason." Who, then, can lead them to intercept and kill? At this time, gentlemen are acting like this, and when you think about it, there are only two possibilities. ”
"Which two?" Xu Zhihe asked.
Song Qiqiu said slowly: "First, Li Congjing was in the team traveling from the north gate, and the gentlemen all went to the north gate, which seemed to be intercepted and killed, but it was actually to save Li Congjing; Second, the target of their interception and killing was Gao Jixing, and the gentlemen wanted to blackmail Gao Jixing to relieve Li Congjing's predicament. ”
Xu Zhihe raised his eyebrows and groaned, "Based on your and my speculation, Gao Jixing wants to expel Li Congjing, and Wu Deming is ordered to kill Li Congjing, no matter what the real situation is, it seems that there will be no such thing as a gentleman intercepting and killing the Savior." As for the second, what did Gao Jixing do when he went out of the city at this time? How did Junzidu know that Gao Jixing would leave the city from the north gate? ”
Song Qiqiu and Xu Zhihe didn't know that after Gao Jixing decided to go out of the city, they sent people to take the lead to inform them of this. It's just that at that time, Li Congjing analyzed the arrangements of Gao Jixing and Xu Zhihe, and after the transfer of the post house, he ordered the Military Intelligence Department to intercept and kill all messengers traveling from the Nanping Palace, so as to cut off the connection between the two. Whether it was the manpower sent by Gao Jixing or the manpower sent by the envoy of Wu in the palace of Nanping, they failed to get out of the city, and died in the hands of the military intelligence department halfway.
Because of this, Xu Zhihe and Song Qiqiu didn't know that Gao Jixing was being attacked at the north gate.
Faced with Xu Zhihe's question, Song Qiqiu didn't know how to answer, no matter how resourceful he was, how could he have expected that their various arrangements tonight had already been seen through by Li Congjing? I'm afraid that Song Qiqiu doesn't want to believe this possibility from the bottom of his heart.
"However, if these two possibilities are not possible, how can the actions of the gentleman be explained?" Song Qiqiu used the method of counter-evidence.
Xu Zhihe couldn't refute Song Qiqiu's statement, he took a sip of the tea bowl, calmed down, and began to sort out tonight's events from beginning to end.
Xu Zhihe hurriedly calmed down, trying to catch this spiritual light.
After a long time, Xu Zhihe said slowly: "In the case that Li Congjing has not been killed, there is naturally no possibility for gentlemen to raise troops out of anger, so why did they suddenly attack the east gate?" There is only one possibility: they received orders. By whom? Naturally, it can only be Li Congjing. He looked directly at Song Qiqiu: "Under what circumstances would Li Congjing order all the gentlemen to attack the city?" ”
"When I tore my face with Gao Jixing, my life is in danger, and I need all the gentlemen to respond." Song Qiqiu replied, and after saying this, he was surprised: "In this way, Wu Deming failed to succeed?" But because his killing intent was exposed, he completely angered Li Congjing, so he let Li Congjing and Gao Jixing tear their faces? ”
Xu Zhihe didn't answer Song Qiqiu, and continued: "From this, Li Congjing sent a signal to order all the gentlemen to attack the city to respond. This explains why Junzidu attacked the East Gate. The gentleman attacked the east gate, which made Gao Jixing realize that the rift between him and Li Congjing could not be repaired. At this time, Gao Jixing has two options. ”
"First, dispatch the army and strengthen the attack on the post house, in order to kill Li Congjing here; Second, Gao Jixing was panicked and lost his mind, on the one hand, he was unwilling to kill Li Congjing ruthlessly and became a mortal enemy with Li Tang, and on the other hand, he realized that Jingnan could only rely on my Wu State, so he wanted to discuss countermeasures with you and me, negotiate good conditions, draw up plans and arrangements, and then deal with Li Congjing's hot potato - if Li Congjing really dies, or if he dies in Jingnan unexpectedly, then everyone in the world will think that it was Wu Guo and Jingnan who conspired to kill Li Congjing, so that a large part of Li Tang's hatred will fall on Wu Guo's head! ”
Xu Zhihe's voice fell, and Song Qiqiu immediately answered: "With Gao Jixing as a person, he will not have the courage to make a lone bet, adopt the first plan, and will only take the second way!" hateful guy, at this time, he still wants to share Li Tang's revenge with Wu Guo, so as to reduce the pressure on him Jingnan! ”
"Greedy and cowardly, of course!" Xu Zhihe sneered, and then, his eyes were sharp, "But Gao Jixing's movements were known by Li Congjing's eyeliner, so Li Congjing sent a signal to all the gentlemen outside the city, asking the gentlemen to intercept and kill Gao Jixing, in order to hold him hostage and force him to comply!" In this way, the one who went out of the north gate and was intercepted by the gentlemen was Gao Jixing! ”
Song Qiqiu was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly took the case, "It's not good! With the combat power of the gentleman, under the surprise attack, Gao Jixing is in danger, Zhenglun, Jiangling has changed, this place has become a dangerous situation, nothing can be done, go quickly! ”
Ugly two moments, the eastern suburbs of Gangneung City.
After a forest, Li Rong waited here for the fifth and Zhao Xiangyao who came here.
"Have you ever found out where Xu Zhihe is?" The fifth little face was pale, obviously because of excessive blood loss, but she had no intention of resting, and was determined to continue her actions.
Li Rongyao pointed to a certain direction, and said in a deep voice with relief: "Hard work pays off, and I will be caught after all." This guy was very bold, and he arrived here during the day, and almost let him get away with it. ”
Seeing the direction of Li Rong's fingers, Lin Anxin, whose hands and feet were tied and whose mouth was stuffed with cloth, suddenly had panic in his eyes that could not be concealed.
Seeing Lin Anxin's reaction in his eyes, the fifth showed his cunning white teeth, "It seems right." ”
Li Rong, who was dressed as an old peasant, glanced at Lin Anxin, although he couldn't see the other party's face clearly at night, but the other party's beauty also made him stunned, "Who is this?" ”
"The head of the Tsing Yi Yamen." In the fifth sentence, he asked Li Rong again: "How many people are on the other side?" ”
"There are not many on the surface, less than half of them, and I am afraid that there are a lot of people in the secret." Li Rongdao.
The fifth snorted, "There are more people than people, the Tsing Yi Yamen has only been born for a few days, how can it compare to our military intelligence department." "At the moment, arrange manpower with Li Rong, Zhao Xiangyao and others to prepare for action.
Seeing the other party's arrangement of pulling out the bright and dark whistles, Lin An'an's face became more and more ugly, until the other party finished arranging, and she was already like ashes. The night breeze was blowing, Lin Anxin's eyes suddenly became firm, she had made up her mind, even if she gave up her life later, she would find an opportunity to warn.
After arranging the details of the operation, the fifth girl suddenly turned her head, her bright eyes fell on Lin Anxin, and before Lin Anxin could say badly, the fifth slashed at Lin Anxin's neck with a knife.
knocked Lin Anxin unconscious, withdrew his hand for the fifth, and then said lightly: "From your eyes, I read the intention of absolute determination, so it is better for you to sleep for a while first." ”
After saying this, her small palm flipped over, and the Sleeve Knife was already in her palm
Ugly three moments, the eastern suburbs of Gangneung City.
"Zisong is trying to persuade me to escape?" Xu Zhihe sat steadily, the eight winds did not move, "Although Gao Jixing is intercepted and killed, he may not be in prison, but before the result appears, you and I will flee in panic like lost dogs, which is too stumbling." ”
Song Qiqiu was a little anxious, "Lin Sishou has been defeated at the dock, and she herself has been captured again, and now even Gao Jixing has been besieged and killed by the gentlemen, Zhenglun, you and I don't have a big army on the side, once the gentlemen are killed, you can't leave if you want to!" ”
"Lin Sitou will not surrender to the enemy." Xu Zhihe looked at Song Qiqiu and said with certainty, "So you and I are still safe now, and the military intelligence department can't find you and me." If you leave now, wouldn't you admit that the Tsing Yi Yamen is inferior to the Military Intelligence Department? ”
"Zhenglun, now is not the time to be rash!" Song Qiqiu was heartbroken.
Xu Zhihe smiled calmly, "Zi Song, listen, the fighting outside the north gate has not stopped, but it has become larger, which shows that Gao Jixing has not been captured." The Jiangling garrison is nearly 10,000, Gao Jixing is attacked, all parties must be moved, no matter how to say that Gao Jixing is also a prince, how can he be at his own doorstep, being treated to death by two thousand gentlemen? ”
Speaking of this, Song Qiqiu suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly turned pale, "How is the battle situation at the North Gate, it is said that someone should have reported it early, why didn't anyone come for a long time?" ”
Xu Zhihe raised his head suddenly.
At this moment, there was a faint scream outside the courtyard, and almost at the same time, a sharp soldier from the Yamen in Tsing Yi hurriedly came in to report, "The military intelligence department is coming, and it has arrived in the left courtyard!" ”
The left courtyard is not the courtyard on the left, but a cover point specially set up by the Tsing Yi Yamen, specifically to cover up Xu Zhihe's true location in case the enemy is killed. The three holes of the cunning rabbit are exactly that.
"MIA, why did you really come?" Xu Zhihe couldn't believe it.
"Fortunately, the Military Intelligence Department was led to the left courtyard, Zhenglun, let's go, if you don't leave, it's really too late!" Song Qiqiu couldn't help but say, and let Xu Zhihe leave.
Xu Zhihe suddenly lost his mind, the military intelligence department came to the door, and the battle of Tsing Yi Yamen can be called a complete defeat!
Is this going to be an escape? Like a lost dog?
Xu Zhihe is unwilling, but what can he do?
