Chapter Ninety-Seven: Gold in the Coffin
In the Weiyang Palace of Chang'an City, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are staring at Yang Biao, if he doesn't see gold today, I'm afraid his life will be explained.
Li Wei stared at Yang Biao and said, "Captain Yang, the time we agreed on is coming up, is your gold ready?" ”
Li Dao's knife has been pulled out of its sheath, and the officials have sweated for Yang Biao, if no one really sends gold, I am afraid that Yang Biao will be in a different place.
Yang Biao's palms were covered with sweat: "It's not sunset yet, General Li is too impatient." ”
Li Dao pointed at the officials with a knife and said, "Okay, the officials in the court are not allowed to leave today, they all stay and wait with you, of course, the general has taken care of the meal." ”
This kind of scoundrel behavior should have aroused the anger of everyone, but it is a pity that in order to maintain their position, none of the officials dared to speak out against it.
Liu Xie didn't want to see the bloody scene: "I am not feeling well, and now I want to go back to the dormitory to rest." ”
Guo Yan looked in his eyes and said, "I see that the saint is good, how can I feel unwell?" ”
Liu Xie was stunned, and said in a sad and indignant tone: "The two generals just want money, there is no need to kill Lord Yang, this money is out." ”
Li Wei put away the knife and said, "If the Holy Lord wants to protect Captain Yang, you can, but this price is not the original, let alone 40,000 catties of gold!" ”
In the face of Li Dao's lion opening his mouth, Liu Xie wanted to stab him to death, and now the treasury has been squandered by the two of them, leaving only 20,000 gold for disaster relief, and he has no ability to get 40,000 gold for them.
Liu Xie suddenly remembered that there were still some treasures in the palace, and they should be worth 20,000 gold when they were taken out, but those were the treasures of the ancestors, so how could they be easily given to others.
"The Holy One has thought about it?" Li Dao doesn't have much patience anymore, anyway, this Yang Biao is not of the same mind as himself, and it is beneficial for him to get rid of it.
Liu Xie gritted his teeth and said, "I have already thought about it, and I am willing to pay 40,000 gold to save Captain Yang, are you satisfied?" ”
Liu Xie can only choose to protect people now, compared to a useful loyal minister, 20,000 gold is really nothing.
"Okay, happy!" Li Wei glanced at Guo Yan, who immediately walked out of the main hall and gathered the army to move the gold.
However, what Guo Yan didn't expect was that a herald ran over, as if he had a serious situation to report.
The herald stopped at the gate of the main hall: "General Guo! There is a convoy of about 100 people hanging white silk, saying that it is a funeral procession for the queen, let them enter the city? ”
Guo Yan thought for a while and said: "It's okay to let them in, but the premise is that they are not allowed to make trouble in the city, and they can directly pull the car to the imperial tomb." ”
Guo Yan also heard that the queen was assassinated, since it was the person appointed by the emperor, it would be better to be buried in the imperial mausoleum according to the rules.
At this time, the gate of Chang'an City was closed, and the Xiliang army at the head of the city was armed with bows and arrows, ready to shoot the people under the city into a hornet's nest at any time.
The guards also raised their shields in front of the carriage to deal with the sudden rain of arrows.
Yan Ying lifted the curtain and said a little puzzled: "Niangniang, there are only 100 of us, why are they waiting for it?" ”
Cao Ming explained: "They are afraid that there will be a large army behind, which is also a kind of siege tactics, using a small group of armor soldiers to disguise themselves as civilians, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to attack the city gate, and creating favorable conditions for the follow-up army to attack the city." ”
Yan Ying disagreed: "That's winning by deception, even if you win, it's disgraceful." ”
Cao Ming felt helpless and said: "Fighting is about the result, and there is no such thing as glory and disgrace. ”
