Chapter 103: Infernal

Gui stood up, his heart beating like a drum, it had been more than a month since he returned to Shengjing, and he had gradually recovered from his previous panic, the deaths of Na Ke'er and Noyan, and the secret conversation between Chesan and himself that night, had gradually disappeared from his memory. Sometimes he even felt that it had never happened, it was just a nightmare, and he was still the same Ah Gui as before, a former Ming army captured by the Jurchens, who could go on like this with his wife and newborn children, enjoying a little pitiful peace in the troubled times. But when he received an order from the Great Khan more than an hour ago, Gui understood that what had happened that night was an ironclad fact, that he was a spy of Dajin or a spy of the Ming general, and that they were now exposed, and that they were coming to arrest him, and that his head would be stuck in the tip of a gun at the city gate, coated with embalmed black oil, and that the crows would hover over his head, fighting for his eyeballs. He tried to flee, but fear was like nails nailing his feet to the ground, and he couldn't move.

It took a while for Gui to convince himself that this was just an ordinary summons, and if he was exposed, it would not be a messenger who would come, but a soldier with a dog and armor. But when he left home, he reluctantly hugged his wife, children and dog, as if he would never see them again. Hearing Fan Wencheng tell him to get up, Ah Gui stood up, carefully raised his head just in time to meet Huang Taiji's sight, he hurriedly lowered his head weakly, as if the other party could peek into what he was thinking through his eyes.

Seeing Ah Gui's actions, Huang Taiji couldn't help but laugh a little dumbly, he coughed and asked, "Are you called Ah Gui?" This time you go to the Naturalization City, the information you find is very useful, and Ben Khan will reward you heavily! ”

"Thank you, Great Khan!" Ah Gui's face showed a look of ecstasy that only people who escaped death, and in the eyes of Huang Taiji, he was mistaken for a heavy reward, and he nodded with satisfaction: "You are in the Daling River to be corrected, you can rest assured, in my Dajin reward and punishment is fair, it is not the background, nor the Manchu Han, as long as you can do your best, it is not impossible to be the leader and the commander all the way." ”

"Yes, Great Khan!" At this time, Ah Gui's nervousness was also relieved a lot, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "The villain must do his best!" ”

"Okay, get up!" Huang Taiji asked a few more questions, and Ah Gui followed the answer that Chesang told him, if it was not in the answer, he could not say clearly. After asking, Huang Taiji's face showed more and more satisfied expressions, and in the end, he sighed and said: "I didn't expect to get a talent today, Ah Gui, it seems that only promoting you to the Niu Lu amount is really wronged by you, but after all, you are still shallow, and it is not good to rise too fast!" Mr. Fan, what do you think should be? ”

"Great Khan, it's better to let him eat double, and reward him with a grange, which can be regarded as a grace!" Fan Wencheng said with a smile.

"That's a good idea!" Huang Taiji nodded with satisfaction, and said to Fan Wencheng: "You will do it as soon as you go back!" ”

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Great Khan!" Ah Gui hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and his heart became more and more settled, it seems that the Chesang Lama did not lie to himself, all the information he gave himself was true, but the other party had invested so much money on himself, and how big was the return in the end? Ah Gui couldn't help but worry again.

"Ah Gui, let me ask you, before you leave, is there anything strange about him?"

Hearing Huang Taiji's question, Ah Gui couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, could it be that the other party found a flaw from somewhere? He thought for a moment and replied cautiously: "Tell the Great Khan, Master Na Ke'er was fine when the villain left, but I think he was a little worried!" “

"Worried? How so? Huang Taiji's attention was attracted by Gui's answer.

"Tell the Great Khan, when the villain went to the Jokhang Temple, I heard that there was a master named Chesang who was going to be the living Buddha of the temple. But this is all the villain's blind guess, in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of others, the villain does not dare to ask more, it is all heard from the mouths of others! ”

"Hmm!" Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng exchanged glances, and Ah Gui's answer was quite consistent with their analysis from the available information, and they naturally knew that Qisang was Liu Cheng's minion, and the political meaning behind this person being canonized by the Ming Emperor and becoming the first of the Jokhang Temple was self-evident. Nine times out of ten, it was related to Chessan's ascension to the throne, maybe it was Na Ke'er who tried to prevent Chesan from ascending to the throne, but was killed instead. Huang Fan and the two of them are both outstanding people, and with only a small amount of information, they can speculate about things thousands of miles away, but what the two of them didn't expect was that the murderer who killed Na Ke'er with his own hands was not Chessan, but in front of them.

"You stand down first!" Huang Taiji nodded, alert and keen, Ah Gui left a very good impression on him, after he ascended the throne, he felt that there were too few talents under him, many Jurchen tribes had just broken away from the primitive society, and it was okay to go into battle to fight, and there was a shortage of people for such errands that required a certain amount of knowledge and adaptability.

"Great Khan!" As soon as Ah Gui went out, Fan Wencheng said in a low voice: "After Ming Guo killed Lin Dan Khan and Bu Lost Rabbit Khan, his movements were unexpectedly fast!" ”

Huang Taiji didn't speak, but Fan Wencheng could see the corners of his eyes beating slightly, and knew that his words had already played a role, so he lowered his head and stood with his head bowed and waited patiently. After about half a meal, he heard Huang Taiji's voice: "Mr. Fan! Fan Wencheng hurriedly stepped forward, flicked his sleeves twice, knelt down and responded: "What does the Great Khan command!" “

"Is there any way to make that Liu Cheng and Lu Boqi slower? After all, the lineage of the Golden Family is in their hands, and if they are allowed to integrate the Tumut Department and the Chahar Department, then many things will be troublesome! It's not very good to be born in the past few years, if you don't wait until the autumn to send troops, I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe! ”

"Yes, Great Khan!" Fan Wencheng kowtowed, lowered his head in thought, and didn't speak for a while. Huang Taiji looked at it and said with a smile: "Mr. Fan, it doesn't matter if you can't think of this matter for a while, you can go back and think about it slowly, and then come back to me to answer when you have the result!" ”

"Great Khan, it's not that there is no way, it's just-" Fan Wencheng said this, with a hesitant look on his face.

"Mr. Fan, there are only you and me here, from your mouth to my ears, what can't you say?"

"Great Khan, the first way we can use death."

"With the dead?"

"Exactly, Great Khan!" Fan Wencheng said in a low voice: "Then Liu Cheng and Lu Boqi are reconciling the Mongolian tribes, if they send a daring person from each ministry to bring more than 100 tents to join them, they will be assassinated with a blade." These two people are one and one martial arts, both of them are indispensable, as long as one of them is injured, Ming Guo's movements over there will inevitably slow down. “

"What if it doesn't work? I'm afraid that it will be a laughing stock! ”

"Even if it doesn't work, it can make them suspicious of the person who comes to surrender, and they can't be appointed with confidence!"

"Hmm!" Huang Taiji nodded, Fan Wencheng's move can be described as extremely vicious, and it has become the best of nature, with the status quo that the Wenchen of the Ming Kingdom regards the military as a slave and a servant, and the military general regards the Wenchen as a vengeance, a civil and military partner like Liu Cheng and Lu Boqi with a tacit understanding can be said to be unique, no matter who is missing, I am afraid that it will take a lot of time just to run in with a new person; Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, Lu and Liu will definitely be wary of the Mongolian subordinates who come to take refuge. All that was lost was an assassin and more than a hundred Mongols, which was really a lucrative deal. Huang Taiji thought for a moment and asked, "What about the second plan?" ”

"Reversed!"

"Reversed?" This time, Huang Taiji immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Do you want people to say bad things about these two people in front of the Great Tomorrow?" This is not unusual! “

"It's not unusual, but it's easy to use!" Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "The Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Kingdom was born in the deep palace, grew up in the hands of women, and the court and the friends competed with each other, and the slaughter and auxiliary were not able to help others, this anti-plot must be effective!" ”

"What Mr. Fan said is good, it's good, then use the dead room first, and then use the reverse room, but you have to choose a good candidate for this dead room."

"What the Great Khan said is that the ministers must choose carefully, and then ask the Great Khan to decide!"

When Ah Gui left the Great Khan's Mansion, he felt soft all over, as if he had worked hard for a day, and he finally climbed on his horse and returned to his home. Seeing his wife and children welcoming him, hugging his dog, Ah Gui felt that he was back in the world again. The sensitive Abi sensed her husband's abnormality, asked the maidservant to carry the child to the gift, helped Agui to the side and sat down, and asked in a low voice, "Is there something going on in the Great Khan's Mansion?" How does it look like this? ”

"Abi, nothing, it's just that I'm a little uncomfortable, maybe a little tired!" Ah Guiqiang smiled and covered up, his wife saw it in her eyes, and was about to say something, when there were suddenly two heavy knocks on the door outside, and then someone shouted: "Does Ah Gui live here?" “

Ah Bi immediately felt the muscles on Ah Gui's body twitch, and then he stood up, blocked Ah Bi behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I am Ah Gui, what's the matter?" ”

"Hurry up and open the door to greet, the Great Khan's Mansion is here!"

Ah Gui breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at his wife, and smiled reluctantly: "You let the family prepare, I'll open the door!" ”

"Yes!" Ah Bi nodded, looking at Ah Gui's back, his face full of worry.

Ah Gui walked to the back of the door, first looked outside from the crack in the door, and sure enough, the few people standing outside were all in the uniforms of the white flag guards, seeing that they all looked relaxed, Ah Gui was completely relieved, he took off the bar against them, opened the door, and said with a smile: "Let the rank wait for a long time, forgive me!" ”

Those guards were all walking beside Huang Taiji, and they also knew that although the person in front of them was a prisoner, he was quite valued by the Great Khan, and he was promoted and a servant of the Tianzhuang, so he obviously valued it very much, and hurriedly returned the salute, and lit up the scroll in his hand for the leader, and said with a smile: "Ah Gui, today is a good day, we have something to say later, it is important to get down to business first!" ”

"That's, that's!" Ah Gui hurriedly let open the door, led everyone in, and put the incense case in the main hall, he knelt down with the small servants, and the escort army headed by the army read the will again, although the Jurchen had established the country at that time, but all things were crude, and there was no red tape later, and the will was also some big vernacular, nothing more than A Gui went to the meritorious, and was specially promoted to the Han Army Banner Niu Lu Ezhen, food double, and gave a grange outside Shengjing City, with ten male and female servants, four cows, two mules, and a number of farm tools. After announcing the will, the escort led by the leader handed over the field deed, arrows and other utensils to Ah Gui, and said with a smile: "Brother Ah Gui, you have made great achievements this time and have been rewarded by the Great Khan, everyone will be a family in the future, and the brothers will be happy for you!" ”

"Thank you." Ah Gui forcibly suppressed the feelings in his chest, pretended to be surprised, handed over those utensils to his wife, and made a circle to the guards: "Rank, the place at home is small, why don't we go to the outer market, find a clean wine shop, and have a drink!" ”

"Okay, Brother Gui's wine, we will definitely bother!" The escort led by the leader smiled and said to Abi: "Sister-in-law, forgive me, Brother Agui won't be able to accompany you tonight!" ”

"Phew!" Abi took a sip and said coquettishly: "You drunks, it's better to drink and die outside and never come back!" With that, he took the child in his arms and turned to the door, leaving behind a laugh from everyone in the hall.

Ah Gui went and sure enough, it was dark before he returned home full of alcohol, and his wife Ah Bi hurriedly prepared a few sips of decanting soup, helped it to the kang, and made a pot of hot soup and was about to scrub it for him. Suddenly, I heard Ah Gui shouting: "Don't kill me, I was forced to do it at the beginning!" His voice was full of panic and helplessness.

Ah Bi was stunned for a moment, and thought that he had misheard, but then Ah Gui shouted again: "Mr. Fan, then he forced me to kill for him, and I also missed it for a while!" This time, Abi heard it clearly, and there would be no mistakes. Ah Bi's hand shook, and a lot of hot water in the basin of his hand spilled out, and it fell on Ah Gui, which woke him up!

"Oops!" Ah Gui screamed, and Ah Bi hurriedly helped him wipe it, and it took a while to dispose of it. Ah Guigang wanted to complain a few words, but heard his wife ask, "What do you mean when you said in your dream that you didn't want to kill me?" ”

Hearing his wife's questioning, Ah Gui couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, subconsciously lowered his head, avoided Ah Bi's sight, and said in his mouth: "What killed me and killed him, where do I remember the words in my dream, didn't you hear it?" “

Abi refused to let go, grabbed her husband's hand, and asked: "You don't want to hide it from me, you and I have shared the same bed for so long, can't I hear if it's true or not?" If you were a child, tell me honestly, what happened, why I always think you are a little wrong lately, God is not keeping! (To be continued.) )
