Chapter 513: The dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, and the grace and power are combined
Below the general army of Ningxia, the most important thing is one deputy general soldier, four guards and generals, three guerrilla generals, and one guerrilla guard. Therefore, in terms of official rank, Rongsheng is still above the previous Ningxia guerrilla general Qiu Yue. However, he is not as good as Qiu Yue's skills, and he is an old man in the Ningxia General Military Mansion, and he can go up and down, so he has been sitting in the position of general in Pingyu City for six or seven years. If you can't go up, you can't transfer to other places, and you only want to seek stability in everything.
Pingyu City is on the edge of the Yellow River, and it is a new city built during the Hongzhi period, which is generally enough to resist the iron hooves of the captives, and the team of Su Ri who traded tea and horses through the Yellow River waterway is enough for him to eat enough.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible for him to be responsible as a general. While ordering people to explore the waterway of the Yellow River and prepare the pontoon bridge, he returned to his general's mansion to write an urgent letter, intending to let people gallop back to Ningxia City to inquire carefully. However, before he could finish writing the letter and let people send it back, the voice of his confidant suddenly came from outside.
"My lord, King Qing's guard Qianhu Ding Guang asks to see you!"
As soon as these words came out, Rong Sheng suddenly frowned. Qingwang is also one of the big proprietors behind the tea and horse trade, after all, when it comes to financial resources, no one can compare to the Qingwang family, which has been rooted in Ningxia for hundreds of years. He had indeed seen this Ding Guang in the past, although he was only a thousand households, but he was bold and bold, and he also helped him a lot in a land dispute case. However, now at this juncture, the thousand households who were guarded by King Qing came to see him, what was he doing as a general of Pingyu City on the North Road?
"Let's just say I'm busy right now......"
As soon as the words fell, Ding Guang's voice came from outside: "General Rong is really ruthless, right?" We're a lifelong friend, and you can't bear to turn me away at this time? ”
As he spoke, the man had already come in. Although he was quite angry in his heart, Rong Sheng looked at King Qing's face, and had to stand up with a smile, coughed lightly: "Brother Ding, it's not that I'm pretentious to keep you out, it's really that today's incident came suddenly." Pingbeibo said before that he would come to Pingyu City to have a look, and I waited for many days. But there is not even a shadow of the person, and now when the General Military Mansion is ordering the upper and lower guards, he suddenly arrived in Pingyu City, and he has to cross the river, even if you have something to find me, I am not available, so ......"
"How did General Rong think I came here?" Ding Guang interrupted Rong Sheng's words and was stunned. Only then did he say in an aggravated tone, "I might as well tell the truth, I just followed Pingbeibo into the city." Of the thousands of people who wanted to cross the river in Pingbeibo, a small half were selected from the guards of King Qingzhong, and there is still no plausible statement! So, I'm here to find you today. Please send a message to the Anhua Mansion in Ningxia City as soon as possible, saying that we are going to cross the river and enter the loop! ”
Although Rong Sheng was originally going to Ningxia to deliver a letter, when he heard Ding Guang's words at this moment, he hesitated. Even the guards of Qing Wangzhong have been recruited, how strange is this behavior, not to mention that Yang Yiqing, the general system of the three sides, is said to have a good relationship with Xu Xun, and he almost returned to the dynasty to serve as the secretary of the military department, that is, the Ningxia General Military Mansion, if Xu Xun really wants to transfer people. I will never disobey it, so why do I want to transfer the guards of King Qingzhong? Moreover, the letter should also be sent to the Qingwang Mansion, what is the purpose of sending the letter to the Anhua Palace?
Thinking of this, he deliberately raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Pingbeibo actually transferred your Qing Wangzhong guards?" This doesn't make sense. ”
Ding Guang didn't want to pass on information outside the way, but although he went on the road in the dark, Chen Xiong, a veteran, had already made up a household when he left the city, and he fled to the whole small flag by himself. In addition, he didn't dare to act rashly because of the black light. Therefore, after passing by Zhang Liangbao, it was another day of marching, and on the afternoon of the third day, we arrived at this Pingyu City. And because of Lu Hai, those local snakes seem to have lost their minds and gone crazy. actually followed Xu Xun sincerely because of those empty words. In his opinion, he has been with Wang Yue, but the famous Wang Taifu has been dead for many years, how can he still have such a big appeal? Previously, the team was hiding in a mountain col before, if he hadn't volunteered to follow Xu Xun out, he would have made it clear that he wanted to do anything. …,
Therefore, in the face of Rongsheng's question, he couldn't help but be annoyed, and simply said angrily: "It's not unreasonable!" God knows what this Pingbei Bo thinks, the guards of Ningxia City still listen to him messing around, and His Royal Highness King Qing doesn't know which tendon can't turn around, so he also goes crazy with him! At this time, King Anhua, as Uncle Wang, can always wake up. Speaking of this, he looked at Rong Sheng again and said, "As for General Rong, you have to delay for a few days." You must know that there is such a thing as sending troops, there will be victory and defeat, Ping Beibo is recklessly attacking, in case of a big defeat and returning, your relationship is also not small! ”
For this explanation, although Rongsheng knew that it was not true, he also explained some of his own questions. He weighed it out, and finally said vaguely, "In that case, I'll do my best." ”
Ding Guang knew that Rong Sheng was an old oilman, and he did not relax at all when he heard this, and said with blazing eyes: "General Rong, it's not me who is lying to intimidate you, you may not be able to share the credit if this battle is fought well, and this battle is bad, but you are the best candidate to carry the black pot." Let me tell you the truth, if the family that fought with you for land before, if it wasn't for the King of Anhua, how could you have eaten the 500 acres of fertile land that can be irrigated by the Yellow River? It's such an easy thing to do now, if you don't want to do it...... Nowadays, the clan vassal king is indeed not as popular as before, but it is still easy to make some stumbling blocks! That's all I say, and I take my leave! ”
Seeing that Ding Guang was about to leave as soon as he turned around, Rong Sheng's face was as ugly as the bottom of the pot for a while. He is wise and afraid of things, but that doesn't mean he's a fool. This Ding Guang repeatedly emphasized that he wanted him to report to the king of Anhua, and even did not hesitate to coerce and lure, which was simply extraordinarily weird. Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, and as soon as he called Brother Ding, he found that Ding Guang's hand that opened the curtain was frozen there, and the next moment, he saw clearly the person standing opposite Ding Guang, and gasped for a while.
"Ping...... Pingbei Bo ......"
Ding Guang's face changed for a while, and finally he cried out with difficulty, and his face unconsciously showed a frightened expression. With the last trace of luck, I hope that the people in Rongsheng's mansion will not be useless enough to be broken in by someone and not make a sound, thinking that Xu Xun may not be able to hear what he just said, he forced a smile and said: "I came to see General Rong for the pontoon bridge ......."
"Oh, it's a pontoon?"
Xu Xun smiled slightly, and then glanced at Rong Sheng meaningfully. Only then did he say lightly: "Then how could I hear it outside just now, you are saying to General Rong all the time, I don't know why His Royal Highness King Qing is crazy from the top and bottom of the Ningxia General Military Mansion, and let me be so nonsense?" Then how could I have heard it outside just now, you coerced and lured General Rong to send the news to the Anhua Palace? Then how could I have just heard outside that you are going to delay my journey? Even if I transfer the guards of the king of Qing to make you very dissatisfied, you are the thousand households of the guards of the king of Qing, not the people of the Anhua Palace. Why do you want to report to the Anhua Palace! ”
This sudden raising of his voice made even Rong Sheng behind Ding Guang unconsciously take two steps back, let alone Ding Guang, who was facing Xu Xun's pressure. Seeing that his words were really listened to by the most fatal person word for word, his face turned pale, and after revealing a trace of resentment in the corners of his eyes, he suddenly bowed down deeply and said, "Uncle forgive me." It's all a momentary obsession with lowly duties, and that's why it's a big mistake......"
As soon as this typo came out, he cautiously put it on his left waist, and his right hand suddenly grabbed the hilt of the sword, and then pulled it out hard and rushed towards Xu Xun at the same time.
As long as he can use this one as a shield, he will not only be able to escape, but he may also be able to turn the situation around! ..., however, Ding Guang had only heard of Xu Xun's scheming and cunning fox, and had never heard of him being good at fighting, but he was just empty. And what blocked that sword was a sheathed waist knife. Seeing clearly that the person who was as fast as lightning to block the sword for Xu Xun was actually a young man of twenty-six or seventeen, he suddenly thought of the young officer who had been standing behind Xu Xun from a distance. However, it was too late to regret it at this moment, knowing that Rong Sheng had never been good at martial arts, and he was too old to react slowly, he brushed and brushed three swords in a row to force the other party back, and then retreated indoors without looking back.
But before he could knock back with his back, he could clearly see the glory of being completely unarmed. Suddenly, he felt a sharp wind blow from his side. In addition to the desk, there are a few chairs in the room. The place was not big, and he couldn't dodge this sudden attack. Therefore, by the time a sharp pain came from the side ribs, it was too late. Suddenly kneeling on one knee, he saw a short dagger in Rong Sheng's hand that was still dripping blood, and in an instant, he had an urge to grit his teeth.
Why did this old guy suddenly become smart!
The next moment, a shiny waist knife was placed on his neck. However, before he could react, another blow suddenly came from the back of the neck. At the last moment before losing consciousness, he finally heard Rongsheng's voice clearly.
"Uncle Pingbei, such a vicious person must be strictly interrogated, and he must not be given the opportunity to commit suicide!"
Rongsheng, you damn old fellow, I'll fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations!
Seeing that Ding Guang was knocked unconscious, Xu Xun's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Rong Sheng, and then instructed Cao Qian: "Treat the wound, don't let people die!" ”
Hearing this, and seeing Cao Qian squatting down and skillfully tearing open Ding Guang's clothes, and taking out a roll of cotton cloth from his arms, Rong Sheng only felt a sigh in his heart, and even he didn't know whether he was shocked that Cao Qian was so well prepared, or he was afraid that the attitude he had just revealed would make the two opposites dissatisfied. However, at this juncture, he could only bow down on one knee and salute: "Uncle Pingbei, I am ashamed of my humble position, I really didn't expect him to be so bold that he dared to deliberately assassinate ......"
"It's not so much that the dog has the audacity to deliberately assassinate, but that the dog jumped off the wall after being pierced by someone, and then he wants to hold me hostage."
Xu Xun glanced sideways at the door, thinking that there were still three or four guards outside at that time, he couldn't help but sigh that it was reasonable for him to be afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years. Otherwise, if someone really held him hostage just now, even if it can be solved afterwards, it will be a big joke to spread it. Who made him a half-person to practice martial arts at his age, not to mention that he didn't have this kung fu at all?
Therefore, turning his head to look at Rong Sheng condescendingly, he said in a deep voice: "I was listening outside just now, and General Rong seems to have known Ding Guang for a long time?" ”
"Uncle Hui, it's not that I know him well, it's just that he is bold and has a big hand, so he is quite well received in the military academy in Ningxia Town, and he is only entrusted with the matter of buying land." Knowing that Xu Xun had heard everything he had just said, Rongsheng didn't dare to quibble, but he had to desperately leave his own involvement. simply bent the other leg down, "At that time, the humble post fought a lawsuit for the 500 acres of land and a wealthy family in Ningxia City, and the rich family and the Qingwang Mansion seemed to have some relatives, and he went through the door to do it for the lowly office, and the humble post only thought that he was a thousand households guarding the king of Qing, and he was somewhat decent in front of His Royal Highness the king of Qing, and he didn't know that he was a man with ill intentions......"
"Okay, you don't have to say more!"
Xu Xun knew that he might not be able to ask anything from an old oilman like Rongsheng. Immediately stretched out his hand and summoned Cao Qian to come forward and said, "You go back immediately, the officer who went all the way with Ding Guang will go and take it secretly immediately!" If you alarm others, you can tell Lu Hai clearly about Ding Guang's whereabouts, if he still doesn't believe it, let him come to see me himself! "Yes!" ”
Wait until Cao Qian agrees and leaves quickly. Xu Xun didn't look at Ding Guang, who didn't know anything about the people on the ground, and said straight to Rong Sheng: "General Rong, I don't want to talk nonsense, give you two days to prepare all the materials for the pontoon bridge, just when the time is ripe, I will immediately cross the river into the loop!" ”
Although Xu Xun didn't mention what happened just now, Rongsheng knew that if he wanted this matter to pass completely, he had to look at his next performance. Therefore. He didn't dare to wipe the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, so he quickly stepped back after agreeing. When he left, Xu Xun ordered someone to tie up Ding Guang and escort him out, but he didn't rush out of the house, but sat down in front of Rongsheng's desk instead. As he sat down, he immediately saw the two ink-stained letterheads, and immediately took them in his hand with great interest and looked at them.
Seeing that Rong Sheng's head was Jun Jian, the head of the army, he immediately cautiously mentioned that he, the Pingbei Uncle, was going to cross the river after arriving in Pingyu City, and then he said something bitter. At the end, I asked for instructions on what to do. The words are humble and respectful, but they show the worry of burning the fire. He couldn't help but laugh when he saw it. After thinking about it, he put the two pieces of letterhead aside and pressed the paperweight, and picked up a few pieces of small paper and started writing with the ink of the half of the inkstone that Rongsheng had not used up.
This is not a need to consider the words and turns, he does not care about the quality of the words, the dragon flying and the phoenix dance overnight, and when the ink is slightly dry, he put the letterhead into the envelope one by one, and called the henchmen and soldiers outside to come in, but it is handed over to one of them: "You send it to Lord Yang in the Xingwu camp, you send it to Gonggong Zhang in Ningxia City, and you don't need them to reply, just say that I ask them to dispose of it at their discretion!" ”
At present, there are still such hidden worries, Xu Xun wants to know how anxious Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong will be. Of course, Yang Yiqing's main energy will most likely be focused on fighting against the coalition forces of Balsborough and Huosie, and it should be Zhang Yong who really has the energy to deal with this matter. Although I really want to guess what means Zhang Yong will use, he has more important things to do now, so he can only put this stubble aside for the time being.
In the evening, the Higashiyama Pass looked a little cold. Xu Xun's expectation was slightly off, Cao Qian suddenly came back with more than a dozen personal guards, and took down Zhang Qin, who was a person who was a person with Ding Guang, with only a little trick, but did not alarm the other Qingwangzhong guard officers at all. And when Xu Xun came back, when he learned that he was acting cleanly, he praised Cao Qian twice, and ordered someone to gather Lu Hai and the others together. When everyone arrived, he didn't speak, and let someone untie a sack next to him.
Recognizing the person in the sack who was tied up with a rag in his mouth, Lu Hai and the others all changed their faces. Some of them couldn't help but be angry for a while, and shouted: "Pingbeibo, what does this mean? ”
Xu Xun raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "This person volunteered to go to Pingyu City with me, but he went to persuade Rong Sheng, the counselor of Pinglu City on the North Road, to report to the Anhua Palace in Ningxia City, and asked Rong Sheng to delay my trip. ”
Everyone was indignant for a while, but when they understood Xu Xun's words, there was an unspeakable silence in the field for a while. They are not hairy boys of a little age, and their youngest is now fifty years away, where can they be so ignorant of the world? Most of the officers in King Qing's guards were close to King Anhua, they were either unclear, or they themselves, in the face of Zhu Ningyao's intentional acceptance, most of them had more or less received benefits, but they didn't expect Ding Guang to make such a move at this juncture. After a long time, Lu Hai suddenly took his military robe and knelt down on one knee.
"Pingbeibo, although we don't know about Ding Qianhu's affairs, but since we are robes, he is guilty, and we are also guilty."
Seeing a person kneeling down silently, Xu Xun said lightly: "In this case, I don't worry about leaving people in Pingyu City, and this person and Zhang Qin who was taken before will be guarded by you." But if you can persuade them to open their mouths and confess what they are thinking, then I can open the net. Otherwise, the mere assassination of the imperial court officials would be enough to implicate their families! ”
No one expected that Xu Xun would be willing to deal with Ding Guang and Zhang Qin so lightly, and they couldn't believe their ears for a while. What made them even more unexpected was that Xu Xun turned around and walked out not far away, and suddenly said without looking back: "Ningxia has Pingyu City, Zhenyu Guard, but whether it is Ping or Zhen, after all, there must be a broken word first!" If I can break the captives again in one fell swoop this time, I will write to the emperor, build Ningxia to break the guard, and command the officers at all levels below the command, all from this meritorious service, and I will never be stingy, I will never be stingy, I hope you will wait for yourself! ”
