Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Lackeys Under the Door
Ask for recommendation votes, everyone
A group of soldiers rushed back from outside the city gates, looking embarrassed. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Pei Chaoyang rode at the front of the team, staring at the silent and uninhabited long street with gloomy eyes, his hand clenched the reins, and the green tendons suddenly appeared. The soldiers guarding the city gate saw that the chief staff of Huaijinnan had a gloomy face, and they didn't dare to look forward and ask more, but just waved their hands and beckoned the soldiers downstairs to open the city gate and let the team in.
If you look closely, you will find that everyone is stained with blood and mud, as if they have barely escaped after a vicious fight, with a low and gloomy look on their faces, and there is no invincible look at the military camp. Even the war horse hung its head and stepped weakly in the gap between the stone slabs.
Pei Chaoyang's ambush outside the city was met with the sworn resistance of Northern Liao, and no less than ten military master-level figures made a trapping beast fight when there was no hope of escape, and actually let two of them escape the encirclement. And that heavily protected carriage turned out to be nothing, just a trap to lure people in!
The moment the curtain was lifted, all the joy turned into a cold sweat.
Pei Chaoyang sat on horseback, unable to understand why the carriage was empty. The intelligence is accurate, but the ambush is unexpected, obviously this carriage is a bureau, as carefully arranged as the assassination of Ye Guozhu by the dead soldiers of Northern Liao, from the very beginning of the Northern Liao spy intended to make people notice the existence of the carriage with great fanfare, so as to divert some shady secrets.
In the game within the game, even Pei Chaoyang felt more and more that he had been calculated, he had gone astray many years ago, and now he could only go one way to the dark, the dark transactions and secrets between him and Beiliao, those in the know could only shut up forever.
"Phew!"
Pei Chaoyang closed his eyes tightly, thinking about the next move, he had to find the list, if it fell into the hands of Song Guanzi, not only would his career be unsafeguarded, but even the officialdom of Liangzhejiang Road would set off a bloody storm. Thinking of this, a chill ran down his spine. I only hope that the other party has not seen through this situation either, and the list is still in the hands of Hu Ren, otherwise he will land on the head of a criminal who betrayed the enemy country.
The horse neighed uncomfortably, and Pei Chaoyang tightened the reins, trying to calm him down. But he often saw the patrol soldiers, so he stopped a few of them and asked what happened.
One of the burly soldiers replied respectfully, "Returning to my lordship, there was an assassination of Song officials by the dead soldiers of Northern Liao in Heming Tower, and now the situation has been controlled, Lord Huai is afraid that there will be fish that will slip through the net, so he notified the whole city of martial law, and no one can go out a step." ”
"Oh, got it."
Pei Chaoyang nodded absentmindedly, the assassination was within his expectations, these movements of the dead soldiers in Northern Liao were expected, and he could think that Song Guanzi must have done a good job of safety in the morning, and he didn't think much about other aspects.
While thinking about other things, when the soldier mentioned Chen Zhongqing's three words, he reined in his horse, turned to look at the soldier behind him who was talking and laughing, and suddenly shouted to the other party.
"Stop."
The soldier stopped, turned his head and looked at Pei Chaoyang puzzled, wanted to scratch his head but was blocked by the armor, took it off directly and hugged it in his arms, and asked puzzledly, "What else is the matter, my lord?" ”
Pei Chaoyang asked, "Is the Chen Zhongqing you just mentioned the same as the Hangzhou genius?" ”
"Yes, my lord."
"Tell me what happened to him in the Crane Tower?"
Speaking of this, the soldier suddenly came to his senses, and talked about Chen Zhongqing's feat of picking three by himself in Heming Tower. No one expected that the unarmed scholar would use an iron assault rifle to make three unsubdued Northern Liao dead soldiers die on the spot, and they died tragically on the spot, which is amazing.
The further down he talked, the more ugly Pei Chaoyang's face became, he thought that this young man had the most active mind, and he was protected by high-ranking people around him, so he dared to act recklessly. Now it seems that he is completely misjudged by him, and he can kill the three bandits in an emergency, this courage and courage, I am afraid that the robbers who were deliberately let go by the Qin family have no choice but to win the other party.
"Tsk, where is this scholar, who is more vicious than the elite of our martial arts battalion. At that time, it was privately said that Lord Huaijinnan had a love for talent and wanted to include him in the staff, but I heard that this person seemed to be the son of a big official, and in the end, he didn't give up. ”
The people around him saw that he was open-mouthed, and hurriedly gave an elbow and signaled to shut up.
The soldier's words were like a sharp thorn, piercing Pei Chaoyang's chest, making him feel a sense of crisis.
Pei Chaoyang had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, his palms were even wet, he couldn't figure out how many unknown hole cards there were behind the kind-faced young man, and now even Huai Jinnan's attitude became uncertain......
After sending away a few soldiers, the listless procession continued on its way, but halfway through, a carriage stopped in the center, and the cardinal's guard, armed with a knife in his left, led the horse, and the token at his waist was as eye-catching as it was in the deep alley.
Pei Chaoyang made a gesture of pause, and the team behind stopped advancing, looking at the carriage with some unkind eyes.
He turned over and dismounted, groped his sleeves to his waist and unfastened the buckle, removed the knife at his waist, and then walked to the carriage alone, glanced at the swordsmen standing on both sides, and whispered, "Pei Chaoyang, the staff of the Guangling Navy Division, greets Song Guanzi." ”
Saying this, he was a little uneasy in his heart, he didn't guarantee that the matter had been revealed, and he could only prepare for the worst. Killed Song Guanzi on the spot, and then fled to Dali or Northern Liao himself, killing Song Guanzi was more than enough, but he had to hide in the shadow of the cardinal's assassination for the rest of his life.
The people inside did not speak, and the white sleeves of their clothes could be seen fluttering as the wind blew through the curtains.
A hand stretched out and held the blue curtain, the curtain of the car was slowly lifted, but the face that was revealed made Pei Chaoyang want to turn around and pick up the knife at his feet for a moment.
The silence was only the sound of summer insects chirping, spreading through the silent long street.
Holding his chin in one hand, he pretended to flip through the notebook in his hand with the other, and then slowly closed it. Chen Zhongqing raised his head and looked at Pei Chaoyang with a smile, shook the object in his hand, smiled kindly, and asked in a concerned tone, "Is Mr. Pei looking for this thing?" ”
At that moment, Pei Chaoyang even regretted a little why he didn't attack him in the rain alley, so that there would be no more one step of difference.
Chen Zhongqing didn't make any moves, but said calmly, "Song Guanzi wants to make a deal with you, and I also want to make a deal with you, I don't know what Mr. Pei thinks?" ”
