Seeing his younger brother, who was not amazing on weekdays, talk in front of him, the young envoy couldn't help but sigh, waved the wide sleeves of his green shirt, and the candle flame on the table shook again, crumbling in the darkness of the stormy night. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It was an unexpected surprise.
The sonorous sound of gold and iron striking outside the door was endless, and in the alley on a rainy night, the black-clothed men holding long knives fell one after another, and the rain left by the blades was soaked in bright red color. Uncle Gong stepped on the corpse's chest with a foot of muddy water, and slowly drew his knife out, the scene was terrifying. Lao Jia still stood in the rain with a knife and an umbrella, looking solemn.
One knife and one person, killing instead of work.
Even the outlaws who licked the blood from the knife edge had never seen such a neat way of killing. After the ten men of the tentative attack had been annihilated, the tall leader finally lost his patience, and with a wave of his hand, his voice sounded hoarse in the rainy night, like the babbling of the wind through a rotten window.
"Let's all go up and kill both of them!"
The sound of killing outside was earth-shattering, but the inside of the house was still as quiet as ever.
With his chin in his left hand, Chen Zhongqing leaned in front of the chessboard and said casually, "Lao Jia and Uncle Gong are standing at the door, they can't enter this door." But I can't guarantee that there will be other fish that have slipped through the net from somewhere else, my brother dares to sit here on a stormy night today, and he must have already arranged other plans, hasn't he? ”
Putting down the white son in his hand, he took out his right hand to pick up the white porcelain teapot, filled his brother's cup with a cup of Longjing, raised his head and glanced at Chen Zhongxu, who was sitting opposite, his eyes were just staring at the black and white sons who were as warm as jade on the chessboard.
"I didn't expect you to guess half of the court's thoughts correctly, my younger brother, you are really not simple, we should have advised our father to delegate you to an official, instead of staying in Bianliang as a cockfighting lackey."
Chen Zhongqing's hand trembled, almost spilling the tea out of the cup noodles, and asked in surprise, "Half?" Am I not all right? ”
Chen Zhongxu stared at the chessboard, and his son fell to Tian Yuan's position, and said in a low voice, "Bianliang really can't get used to the situation of collusion between rich businessmen and tycoons in Jiangnan, but his approach to them is different. Today, the saint advocates raiding the house and destroying the door, and it is a hundred, and it will be impossible to kill these people in the court. However, the nine-thousand-year-old Sable Temple had another idea, he colluded with the rich and noble families of Bianliang, and agreed on three chapters of the law, as long as the imperial court did not start, they were willing to pay a large amount of money every year to support the war on the border of the sixteen states of Yanyun. But for the Jin-Liao War, it was a drop in the bucket. ”
Chen Zhongqing was slightly stunned, he didn't expect there to be such a story behind him, thought about it carefully, and said in a deep voice, "It sounds like a blood sucking stream of thin water, and the other is like exploitation of exhaustion?" ”
Unintentionally answering his rhetorical question, Chen Zhongxu continued, "The Southern Jin Dynasty is now united in its efforts to seek war in the north, and the Northern Liao who fought does not dare to provoke in the south, so of course he is eager to take the rich land of Liangzhejiang Road, you must know that these rich businessmen and wealthy families have thousands of assets, which is enough to support the war and military salaries within three years." It's just that the nine thousand years old think that the time is not ripe and need to wait. As an official appointed by the imperial court, I am naturally on the emperor's side. However, the military power of the Sable Temple is in hand, and the commander of the Jiangnan Naval Division, Gui Delang, will Huaijinnan is a 9,000-year-old man, and he sits on the two Zhejiang roads, even if I do it, I must take into account the forces of the other faction. ”
Although he was unwilling, it also gave Chen Zhongqing a deeper impression of Bianliang officialdom, and he asked softly, "Can't the Qin family die tonight?" ”
The sound of falling children is sonorous.
Chen Zhongqing left the chessboard, rummaged through the cabinets, and took out a short knife and threw it to Chen Zhongxu.
"Huh?"
Seeing that his brother took the short knife, he put it down in disgust, and the young man who was squatting in front of the cabinet was a little confused.
Chen Zhongxu explained, "Scholars don't use knives to kill people, they use pens. ”
"I don't think your people will come so soon for a while, and if the Qin family is not dead and is protected, my hard work these days will be in vain."
Chen Zhongxu turned his face sideways, and vaguely saw the corners of his mouth outline an arc, and he explained, "The Qin family will die, dare to assassinate the envoy of the Liangzhejiang Road, even Huaijinnan will not dare to protect him." It's nothing more than an outcast who kills chickens and monkeys, I didn't bring anyone over, I just notified Wei Nanlu and Huaijinnan, if I guessed correctly, there will be two groups of people coming tonight. This Hangzhou is like the Tianyuan position of the chessboard, far from being as simple as you think. ”
As soon as the words fell, a huge explosion directly shook the window behind Chen Zhongxu open, and the charm mixed with gunsmoke and the smell of blood swept in from the rainy night.
Chen Zhongxu drew his knife out of its sheath and stared at the backyard, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and the sudden explosion disrupted his state of mind.
"What's going on?"
The flame flickered a few times and was almost extinguished.
Chen Zhongqing stood behind him and said lightly, "It's nothing, it's just that someone just stepped on my tripwire, but brother, if your people don't do it again, they will have to kill people with knives later." ”
A hundred meters away, the yellow finch stared at the praying mantis that was trying to shake the tree.
Almost the same number of elite Jin army as the gang murderers were wearing hats and robes, standing quietly in a dark corner a hundred meters away, half of them holding crossbow arrows in their hands, and the other half of them had already held the long knives in their hands. Tsing Yi Lane was covered with a layer of blood at this moment, and the sound of killing shook the sky, but no one noticed the hundred or so people in the martial arts camp lurking here. The silent soldiers seemed to merge with the night, and neither the stormy nor the bloody fighting could move the group.
The deep alley sounded the slight sound of stamping puddles, and the elite soldiers who were exploring the way slowly retreated to the queue against the brick wall on their tiptoes, and gestured to their colleagues about the battle outside, and the captain at the head nodded, and at the same time ordered the soldiers of the crossbow battalion behind him to glance at the crossbow arrows in their hands to confirm that the rain did not cause problems with the machine spring.
Behind the hundreds of elite soldiers, in the depths of the alley locked by layers of rain curtains, there are two people with umbrellas who are incompatible with the atmosphere of slaughter, one is a young man in a white robe and a green shirt, it is Wei Nanlu, the prefect of Hangzhou, who Chen Zhongxu ordered to explain, he is holding an oil-paper umbrella, standing respectfully behind the middle-aged man with clear eyebrows in front of him, with a humble expression, even if half of his sleeves are wet by the rain, he will also take an extra step towards his umbrella.
The middle-aged man in a vermilion official robe frowned slightly, the silverfish bag on his waist swayed with the cold wind on a rainy night, looked at the silky rain curtain in front of him, and said softly: "Actually let the Qin family tear his face desperately, this son has some means." It's no wonder that General Huai will let me come forward in person, and the envoy is here, and the Jiangnan Navy Division is not out, so it is a little unreasonable after all. ”
Wei Nanlu stood behind him holding an umbrella, not daring to answer.
"Nanlu, you sit very well, although Ye Huangchao used the relationship between the DPRK and China to promote you, but it is still eye-catching, I know who is the master who should be loyal, and it should be difficult for you to be in the officialdom all these years, I will say a few kind words by General Huai's side after tonight, Han Chunxiao and Huang Liangchun have no great talents except for some infighting methods, and the virtuous should be in the top position, but your qualifications are still lacking, and you still need to wait a few more years."
The person holding the umbrella nodded excitedly, desperately suppressing the excitement in his heart, "Thank you, Mr. Pei, for your promotion." ”
The scribe known as Mr. Pei lowered his head and did not speak, he listened to the faint crisp sound of gold and stone swords colliding outside the wall, indifferently looked at the rain curtain that gathered from the edge of the umbrella, the rootless water was disturbed by the noise, and his heart gradually changed from the ancient well to ripples, and his fingers slowly pulled the silver fish bag on his wrist, trying to calm himself down.
The leading officer walked slowly, and respectfully clenched his fists at the middle-aged man in front of him and said, "Mr. Pei, there is an explosion in the direction of the spies reporting the sound of fighting, what do you mean?" ”
"Do it."
Mr. Pei replied simply and clearly, "Don't let the guests who watch the play wait too long. I am a scholar who speaks lightly, and I can't afford to offend the big Bodhisattva on the other side of Tsing Yi Lane. ”
