Chapter Eighty-Nine: If Life Is Only as First Seen

The night was very quiet, and the quiet Wang Mai could hear his heartbeat, and from time to time there were a few crossbow strings and the air rapidly rubbing against the air to break the air, faintly, and some low moans. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the cold winter weather, Wang Mai sweated on his forehead, his face was full of anxiety, after hearing the shouts in the courtyard just now, the veterans who were waiting outside also entered the courtyard, I don't know what happened now.

Fugui next to him was very calm: "Brother Wheat, don't worry, these veterans are all good players, I saw it when I first entered the winery, and those people under Zhu Cang are not opponents." ”

"I hope there will be no casualties...... Wang Mai clenched his fists, his palms were sweaty.

"You're treating these people so well," Fugui shook his head, "Isn't this the time to raise the dead?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Mai frowned, "These people are not dead soldiers, they are just employees of the winery. ”

"Whose hired man pays such a high salary, even if it is a dead soldier, this kind of treatment is rare......" Fugui pouted.

"You ......" Wang Mai stomped Fugui's foot angrily, "I see that you and Cheng Yanjin haven't learned anything good, human life is at stake, not for death." ”

Fugui grinned in pain, but the expression on his face was still very stubborn: "Human life is at stake, you also know what the situation in Luoyang is now, the most worthless thing is human life, you go to the city gate in the morning to see how many caravans of corpses are transported out every day......"

"Okay, you've learned to be stubborn...... Wang Mai was a little annoyed.

"Brother Mai, you are good at everything, but you are too kind...... Fugui shook his head and commented.

"Am I kind? Do you believe that Lao Tzu will hand over your fine work to Wang Shicheng to receive merit now? Wang Mai said viciously.

"Don't believe ......"

"I ......" Wang Mai can see that the wealth raised by this son of a bitch has always been fearless in front of him.

"Brother Wheat......" Fugui touched his arm.

"Roll ......"

"I've always been so straight, don't be surprised." Fugui saw that Wang Mai seemed to be really angry and began to soften.

"Don't dare!"

Seeing that Wang Mai didn't like to take care of himself, Fugui rolled his eyes and said, "Alas...... It's a pity that Second Brother Shan is such a good man......"

"What moth do you have? Hurry up! Wang Mai felt cold at this moment. chatted with Fugui for a while, although he was angry, his nervous mood was relieved a lot.

"Nothing!" Fugui whetted his appetite at this time.

"Good!" Wang Mai sneered, "Wang Fugui, don't think I'll fall for you, Shan Xiongxin told me that he was injured last time he chased a young general with excellent archery skills." That young player is Li Shimin, right? The black-faced general who saved him was Wei Chigong, Li Shimin, who was cautious, presumably would not let go of his second brother after breaking the city. ”

This time it was Fugui's turn to be dumbfounded, he had received a letter from Tang Jun before, telling him to pay attention to Shan Xiongxin, and the meaning of the letter was obviously not good. After asking other people in the city of the Tang Army, I found out that Shan Xiongxin almost took the life of King Qin on the battlefield, so he was included in the blacklist of the Tang Army along with Zhu Cang, Duan Da and others, just waiting for the Autumn Queen to settle accounts.

"Now that you know, do you have a way to save Second Brother Shan?" Fugui quickly calmed down.

"Humph!" Wang Mai sneered, "I don't know if the Tang army can take Luoyang, what can we talk about whether to save it or not?" ”

"It will be," Fugui said affirmatively, "King Qin has never lost a battle. ”

"Never lost a battle? What do you say about the Battle of Asashihara? ”

"Later, Xue Ju's father and son were still destroyed."

"Even if he has never been defeated, it doesn't mean that this battle will definitely be won, I heard that Dou Jiande is going to go to the army." Although he knew the outcome of the battle, Wang Mai still refused to admit the words of wealth and wealth.

"Dou Jiande wants to send troops?" Fugui was shocked when he heard this, "Where did you get the news?" ”

"I'm just speculating......," Wang Mai flickered, "Wang Shichong has already sent several groups of messengers, and Dou Jiande is not stupid, don't you understand the truth of cold lips and teeth?" ”

"Makes sense......" Fugui nodded, he had to send this news out as soon as possible, even if there was no such thing, it would be good to give His Royal Highness King Qin a wake-up call.

"There is no difference between Li Shimin and Wang Shichong, they are both raccoon dogs, fighting back and forth, and in the end it is the common people who suffer the most." Wang Mai scolded.

"Why not?" Fugui was anxious when he heard Wang Mai say bad things about Li Er, "Didn't you also say a lot of good things about His Royal Highness King Qin?" ”

"Then I'll take it back now."

"Brother Wheat," Fugui grabbed Wang Mai's shoulder, "I know you don't want to see a war, but have you thought about it, the world will be unified sooner or later." Now that our Han people are divided, and the Turks attack our counties from time to time, only when the Han people unite can the Turks be driven away, and the common people of the Han people can not be bullied. ”

"These are all what Li Shimin told you, right?"

"Yes," Fugui nodded, "but I think what King Qin said makes sense." ”

"Li Shimin is indeed a little stronger than Wang Shichong, but it is limited after all." Wang Mai shook his head.

"Then have you thought about it, today you made a big fuss about Wang Shichong's sealed Longxiang General's Mansion, what will happen if outsiders know that you did it?"

"You've already figured it out?" Wang Mai woke up suddenly. From returning home to inciting the veterans of the wine shop to come here to find people, Fugui always pushed himself at the most critical time, to say that he was unpremeditated, Wang Mai himself did not believe it.

"I didn't tell you, the missing child is indeed in Zhu Cang's mansion." Fugui said.

"You are taking such pains to make me completely fall to the Tang Army?" Wang Mai's voice was very cold, his heart was even colder, he didn't expect that wealth would be calculated on his head one day. Thinking of the two of them in Licheng, Wang Mai's heart hurt as if a piece had been stripped away alive.

"Brother Wheat......" Fugui felt that there seemed to be a gap between the two, and his throat was a little blocked.

"Don't talk to me." Wang Mai wanted to laugh very much, he always thought that although people would change, their feelings would not. But now I find that I am wrong, people's hearts are unpredictable, and wealth is no exception.

"Even if you don't think about yourself, think about Second Brother Shan, think about the two ladies in the family, and the people of Luoyang......"

"You also think too highly of me...... Wang Mai sneered, "How can you be so important to your rich general." ”

Fugui was very uncomfortable listening to Wang Mai's cold words, but he was burdened with a heavy responsibility this time, and still continued: "You have these veterans, and we still have some people in Luoyang, so it is best to persuade Shan Xiongxin...... When the time comes, take a city gate and lead a large army into the city......"

As soon as Wang Mai was about to speak, he heard a movement on his head, and the two of them quickly dodged and clinged to the root of the wall, only to see half of his body leaning out of the dark wall, which was easy to ignore if he didn't look carefully.

"Ah Lang......" Liu Da's voice came from the wall.

"How's it going?" Wang Mai hurriedly asked.

"I found Xiao Langjun...... Liu Da said, "but ......"

"What's wrong?"

"Xiao Langjun was held hostage ......"

With the help of Liu Da and Fugui, they climbed over the courtyard wall with difficulty. Through the faint light of the lantern in the backyard, you can see that there are a lot of people lying on the ground, most of them have been hit by crossbow arrows, and one is still moaning in a low voice, Lao Huang next to him pulled out the short sword on his waist and stabbed it into the man's throat, and the blood that rose up instantly sprayed his face, Lao Huang wiped it indifferently, and went to check the next one.

Wang Mai only felt that something was churning in his stomach, and Liu Da frowned and scolded: "Lao Huang, don't make it so disgusting, Ah Lang is here." ”

Lao Huang turned his head, only then did he notice Wang Mai, and hurriedly smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm a rough person, I scared the son." ”

Wang Mai covered his nose and shook his head: "You continue to ......"

"People are inside...... Liu Da pointed to a room and said, "In addition to the two gangsters, there are more than a dozen children, we have just asked and confirmed that the little boy is also there." ”

"Where's Zhu Cang?"

"I don't know," Liu Da shook his head, "If it weren't for this room, it's likely that he didn't return to the mansion tonight......"

Wang Mai had just taken two steps forward when he heard a frightened voice coming from the house: "Don't come here, come here again and I'll kill all the children......

"The person in charge that Your Excellency is looking for is me, you let all the children go, let's turn around and leave, we will not be embarrassed!" Wang Mai's heart was beating fast, but he still finished the passage.

"Don't fool people with these words, there is no way to release people! You have come today only to save these boys, and get out of the courtyard quickly, otherwise the knives in our hands will be merciless. Another voice rang out.

"Since you know that we are here to save people, you should know that we will not stop if we can't save people. You have taken so many children away, and the government will not give up, and now there is still more than an hour before dawn, and you will be released immediately, and you still have time to flee for your life. ”

There was silence in the room for a while, and the voice sounded again just now: "Even if what you say makes sense, but we can't believe you, since you have the final say in this group of people, then you come in as hostages, and we immediately let these boys go." ”

"Ah Lang......" Liu Da heard the words and grabbed Wang Mai.

"Don't worry, we just want to leave through you, and once we get out of danger, we will let you go immediately." The voices in the room rang out again.

"No way!" Wealth also stood in front of Wang Mai.

Wang Mai took a deep breath and touched the hard object in his arms: "Let me go!" I have my own way. ”

"But ......"

"There's not so much time to think about it now! As soon as the morning dawns, we may be spotted at any time. Wang Mai broke free of the two and walked forward.

At this time, there was already a row of veterans of the wine shop standing behind him, all sweating and raising crossbows in their hands.

"I'm here, you let the child go first!" Wang Mai walked to the door and said.

The "squeak......" door opened a crack, "You come in!" ”
