Chapter 316: Undercurrent (42)

Zheng Long did not show a bit of the pride that a martial artist should have until he was about to die. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info, but He Tengxiao will not let Zheng Long go just because Zheng Long showed the arrogance that a martial artist should have.

He Teng pulled out his waist knife in a hurry, wanting to give Zheng Long a good time, but just as He Tengxiao's waist knife was unsheathed, a group of people and horses came out of nowhere and rushed towards this inconspicuous courtyard.

He Tengxiao frowned, thinking that it might be the nearby Qin Wang Army that had been alarmed. Or maybe Silly Root secretly ran back to ventilate the news. Of course, it turned out to be the latter. He Tengxiao saw the figure of Silly Gen in the fierce crowd.

It turned out that after running back, Silly Gen went to find Zhou Ji, the general of Zhending Mansion, and Zhou Ji immediately led his army to dare to come after learning the news.

But when Zhou Ji dared to come, Zhou Ji was already a step late, and Zhou Ji saw the corpses of the ten Zhending Mansion soldiers in the courtyard, and he was angry. Zheng Long didn't recognize He Tengxiao, but Zhou Ji recognized He Tengxiao discussing how to enter the meeting in Jingshi City.

Each Qinwang army sent its own supreme general to attend the meeting, and Zhou Ji represented the Qinwang army of Zhending Prefecture to attend the meeting. He Tengxiao still remembers that he was the military attache with the lowest level of participation in the meeting.

"He Tengxiao, don't deceive people too much! Lao Tzu is a soldier of the Mansion, Lao Tzu himself will care when it will be your turn to go wild? Zhou Ji was furious, his soldiers were disposed of by others, and Zhou Ji naturally felt very uncomfortable.

Moreover, the battalion general of the Zhending Mansion Town Army was also the main military attache he led out this time, Zheng Long was thrown to the ground by He Tengxiao, and his body was red and purple, like a frozen dead pig. Zhou Ji's face became more and more ugly, on the product Yi He Tengxiao is only a fourth-grade battalion general below him Zhou Ji, just the same product as Zheng Long, why does He Tengxiao have the right to deal with Zheng Long, who is at the same level as him as a battalion general?

He Tengxiao just fought a first battle in the battle of Jingshi City and made the first contribution, why is He Tengxiao so arrogant! Why? Could it be that after making the first contribution, you can ride on the head of the Qin Wang Jun of Zhending Mansion to and pee?!

"This is the soldier you disciplined, and the soldiers will be a nest of bears. As the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and the people below are crooked like this, you will definitely not be much better as a counselor, and you are not a good bird. He Tengxiao stepped on Zheng Long's head with one foot, and Zheng Long was no different from a dead pig at the mercy of others.

It's just that after Zheng Long saw Zhou Ji's arrival, he was in a lot of spirit and seemed to see hope. Zhou Ji was his last straw, and Zheng Long hoped that Zhou Ji could be with him. Of course, Zhou Ji also wanted to save Zheng Long, and his soldiers would be disciplined by others, and Zhou Ji felt very gloomy on his face.

He Tengxiao was unceremoniously, not only reprimanding his Zhending Mansion Qinwang for the corruption of the military aircraft, but also did not shy away from directly accusing Zhou Ji, who was a general, of leading the troops and bringing out such a group of scourges, and bluntly said that Zhou Ji himself was not a good bird. Zhou Ji's face became more and more ugly, although a large part of what He Tengxiao said was the truth.

But it is also very uncomfortable for his disgraceful side to be nakedly said and exposed by others.

"It's not your turn to care about what the Zhendingfu Town Army looks like, don't meddle with the acquaintances, and let Lao Tzu's battalion go. The rest of the things are easy to discuss, you should accompany me to really decide how much pension the town army has. Zhou Ji wanted to coerce He Tengxiao and said, "But if you are obsessed and insist on getting along with the eight thousand men of my Zhending Mansion, I Zhou Ji will accompany you to the end!" ”

The eight thousand Zhending Mansion men mentioned by Zhou Ji are the number of Zhending Mansion town soldiers brought out by King Qin this time. Due to the early Zhou Ji to avoid the war and protect himself, from a distance from the Liao army camp, Zhending Mansion Qinwang army almost no loss, even later, break the Liao army horse formation, into the battle of Jingshi City, it was He Tengxiao's Xiao cavalry battalion and Teng Leopard battalion that contributed to the force, Xiao cavalry battalion and Teng Leopard battalion took the lead, attracting most of the Liao army's firepower, and the Liao army's firepower was almost all poured into the Xiao cavalry camp and Teng Leopard battalion.

The cavalry battalion and the Tengbao battalion bore the greatest casualties, and the rest of the town army suffered almost negligible losses.

The reason why Zhou Ji dared to stand here so arrogantly and shout with He Tengxiao now was also because he knew very well that He Tengxiao's Xiao Cavalry Battalion and Teng Leopard Battalion had suffered heavy casualties in the battle between entering Jingshi City and fighting against the Liao army's horse formation. The Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Teng Leopard Battalion, which were originally small in number, are now very willing to even make up the number of people in a full battalion. And the town army of his Zhending Mansion suffered almost no losses, with a superior strength of more than 8,000 people.

With superior forces in hand, Zhou Ji and He Tengxiao spoke in a much more adequate tone, and even a little domineering and unreasonable.

"In Jingshi City, the Son of Heaven is less promiscuous, I don't think I need to say, you Zhou Ji and Zhou should know what the consequences are better than me." He Tengxiao sneered.

Zhou Ji also greeted Zheng Long's whole family at this time, Zheng Long couldn't control his crotch at any time, but at this time, he couldn't control his crotch and annoyed He Tengxiao.

To tell the truth, in the final analysis, this matter is still the fault of his Zhendingfu Zhenjun army, if it goes out, the Zhendingfu Qinwang army is still morally at a disadvantage, which is not good for the Zhendingfu Zhenjun army.

This is Jingshi City, not Zhending Mansion, in Zhending Mansion, they can do nonsense and reverse right and wrong, and no one dares to stand up and punish them. But when you arrive in Jingshi City, it is better to be careful, it is good to be a man with your tail between your legs, as the saying goes, be careful so that the 10,000-year-old ship is not on its own territory, and it is better to be more restrained on the territory of others.

If this matter is stabbed open and investigated deeply, Zhou Ji will be the supreme commander of the Qin Wang Army of Zhending Mansion. The first one is not to blame.

"He Tengxiao!" In order not to further deteriorate the situation, Zhou Ji still hopes to be able to be private, it is best for everyone to rot things in their stomachs, and the situation continues to expand and deteriorate, which is not what Zhou Ji wants to see.

Zhou Ji has been in the officialdom for a long time, and he knows very well that if the situation is further expanded and serious, the imperial court will inevitably intervene in the investigation, and once he is investigated, Zhou Ji's body will not be clean.

Although this time the lewd was done by his subordinate Zheng Long and his soldiers, Zhou Ji did not personally participate in this lewd plunder.

But if you let your superiors know that you can't even control your subordinates, I'm afraid that Zhou Shi's staff member will also be able to do it.

Zhou Ji gritted his teeth and made a concession: "You and I have come thousands of miles to Jingshi City for nothing more than King Qin, everyone is a martial artist, why should a martial artist ask a difficult martial artist, otherwise in this way, you and I will each take a step back, you will let Zheng Long go, this matter is private, this general can be regarded as if nothing happened today!" ”

This is already Zhou Ji's bottom line, Zhou Ji is also a high-flying and domineering master on weekdays, and he has no king's law, and he can make concessions Zhou Ji also thinks that he has given He Tengxiao enough face, and He Tengxiao should sell him a face to keep this matter private.

After all, if the matter is big, it is not only not good for him Zhou Ji, but also not good for He Tengxiao. After all, He Tengxiao killed ten soldiers of Zhending Mansion without authorization. It is impossible for He Tengxiao to wash himself clean from this matter.

"What if I say no?" He Tengxiao sneered.

He Tengxiao's answer was beyond Zhou Ji's expectations, and Zhou Ji didn't expect He Tengxiao to be as smelly and hard as a stone in a pit. Don't buy his Zhou Ji's account at all.

Zhou Ji's face froze, and he pointed at He Tengxiao angrily and said: "He Tengxiao, don't fucking kick Lao Tzu's nose in the face, what the hell are you, it's just a four-grade general, don't think that you can be lawless and don't take people in your eyes if you make some contributions." Lao Tzu is a general, Lao Tzu is one level higher than you, Lao Tzu is talking to you now enough to give you face, don't be ignorant! ”

He Tengxiao will not even give face to Xu Hongqian, the first assistant of a country, what is Zhou Ji's face in his eyes? This Zhou Ji is really arrogant, he really regards himself as a character, what kind of person are you Zhou Ji, and your face is really so valuable?

He Tengxiao's heart was full of disdain, anyway, he was a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. The Qin Party dares to offend, they have already offended, and it is not a big deal for him to offend a general of the Zhending Mansion again.

He Tengxiao shrugged his shoulders indifferently, spread his hands and said: "It's not me who has no king's law, you don't want to spew blood, the last general will be very law-abiding." ”

Zhou Ji saw that He Tengxiao looked harmless to humans and animals, and he couldn't wait to catch He Tengxiao and swallow it alive before he was angry.

He Tengxiao didn't waste time talking nonsense with Zhou Ji anymore, and directly stabbed into Zheng Long's fat body. Zheng Long let out a terrible scream, which made people shudder!

This He Tengxiao is really hateful, he actually wanted to execute Zheng Long in front of him, if this matter spreads, all the soldiers in the Zhending Mansion Town Army will know. How will he Zhou Ji gain a foothold in the Zhendingfu Zhenjun in the future, and how can he establish his prestige in the Zhendingfu Zhenjun and continue to lead the Zhendingfu Zhenjun?

The matter is not over yet, Zheng Long is not dead after He Tengxiao stabbed down, He Tengxiao held the handle of the knife slowly, and pulled the knife out of Zheng Long's fat body. didn't bother to wipe the blood stains on the knife, He Tengxiao stabbed down again, and stabbed the waist knife into Zheng Long's body.

Zheng Long still let out a scream as usual, but this scream was far less loud and powerful than the last time.

After doing this three or five times, Zheng Long finally died, and was stabbed to death by He Tengxiao five times in front of Zhou Ji, a general of his Shangguan Zhending Mansion.

After stabbing Zheng Long to death, He Tengxiao kicked Zheng Long's body away with a look of disgust and moved it aside. There was red blood everywhere in the snow. Pools after pools, seeping into the snow.

Zhou Ji had heard that He Tengxiao was a difficult and ruthless character, but where did Zhou Shi expect that the outside world would rumor that He Tengxiao was a ruthless character, and He Tengxiao was so ruthless.

Zhou Ji had never been insulted so much, and the nameless karma in his heart was blazing.

"He Tengxiao! Do you dare to ignore my real man? Zhou Ji was completely enraged by He Tengxiao, "Since you don't leave me someone Zhou a little face, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

Zhou Ji brought a personal guard from a hundred households this time, more than 100 people, and seeing that there were only four people chatting with He Tengxiao, Zhou Ji had a bad idea. also made preparations for the fish to die and the net to break, and the jar to break.

"What a man! It's a gentleman's on it! Avenge Zheng Long! Zhou Ji directly ordered He Tengxiao to be besieged, and it seems that Zhou Ji has made up his mind to kill He Tengxiao.

He Tengxiao smiled coldly, he was not afraid of fighting against thousands of Liao troops, how could he be afraid of these rabble in front of him? These rabble He Tengxiao has never been in his eyes, and of course he Tengxiao is not worthy of He Tengxiao's attention.

He Tengxiao jumped, jumped on the horse, and rushed out directly. He Tengxiao's horse is a horse outside the mouth, and the horse in the gate is not a thing of the same level or concept at all. He Tengxiao rushed out of the courtyard very easily, threw Zhou Ji and the others away, and threw them far away.

――――――――

At this time, in Xu Hongqian's house, Xu Hongqian was still on the Mirror Lake Pavilion in the middle of Mirror Lake.

It's just that now Xu Hongqian's mood is not as happy as before, Xu Hongqian deigned to put down his body to win over a four-grade camp general, this small four-grade camp general didn't even buy his account, which made Xu Hongqian feel shameless.

The messy table on the Jinghu Pavilion has been cleaned up, but at this time, the person Xu Hongqian invited has changed. This time, it was no longer He Tengxiao who accompanied Xu Hongqian on the Jinghu Pavilion in the center of Jinghu, but Peng Chaodong, who Xu Hongqian relied on as a pillar, the backbone of the Qin party.

Peng Chaodong was not surprised by He Tengxiao's refusal to join the Qin Party, which was completely unexpected by him. If you, He Tengxiao, join the Qin Party very happily, it will not be natural.

"When his subordinates were in Liaodong, they also recruited him into the Qin army." Peng Chaodong sipped warm wine, smacked his mouth, and said.

"Hmph." Xu Hongqian sneered, "Give a shameless thing, the old man has been an official for decades, and it's the first time I've seen such a thing that I don't know how to lift!" ”

"It's just a small battalion general, and the teacher doesn't have to make a big deal about it, so as not to hurt the teacher's body." Peng Chaodong said that the second half of this sentence is true, and as for the first half of the sentence, Peng Chaodong said very duplicitously.

In fact, it is true that He Tengxiao is a small battalion general, but it will never be just that, this point, Peng Chaodong knows better than anyone else. Because he Peng Chaodong knows He Tengxiao's ability very well, He Tengxiao's ability and talent are by no means comparable to other generals of the town army.

Peng Chaodong failed to win over He Tengxiao at the beginning, why didn't he taste the same as Xu Hongqian, the difference is that he Peng Chaodong is more broad-minded than Xu Hongqian, and he is more able to tolerate people. is not as extreme as Xu Hongqian's performance.

"Guoliang, I heard that Lu Zongcheng is also wooing this kid over there." Xu Hongqian said expressionlessly, "Do you think this kid will carry us behind his back, and look down on our Qin Party and vote for the Zhejiang Party?" ”

Peng Chaodong was very stunned, he didn't expect Xu Hongqian to have such an idea, Peng Chaodong shook his head with certainty, what kind of person He Tengxiao is Peng Chaodong is still very clear, since He Tengxiao will not defect to the Qin Party, naturally he will not defect to the Zhejiang Party.

Defecting to the Zhejiang Party is also not in the interests of He Tengxiao.

"Since he will not defect to the Qin Party, there is no need to defect to the Zhejiang Party, and defecting to the Zhejiang Party will not only cause him some unnecessary trouble, but also benefit him. He's a smart guy who wouldn't fail to think of that. He Tengxiao said.

"It's best not to defect to the Zhejiang Party." Xu Hongqian took a sip of tea, he had already drunk too much wine, and he couldn't continue to drink it anymore, so he could only drink some tea, and by the way, he could relieve the hangover.

Xu Hongqian took a sip of tea and put down the teacup and said, "Since this person can't be used by me, it will be a disaster to keep it sooner or later, so it's better to find an opportunity to get rid of it." ”

As soon as Xu Hongqian's words came out, Peng Chaodong couldn't help but be surprised, the wine cup in his hand was not held steadily, and fell to the ground, and the wine splashed all over his robe.

Seeing this, the beautiful maid who was waiting in the Jinghu Pavilion hurriedly packed up.

Xu Hongqian is getting older and narrow-minded, Peng Chaodong sighed secretly in his heart. Peng Chaodong dislikes Xu Hongqian the most is Xu Hongqian's exclusion of dissidents. If you can't get it yourself, and if you can't use it, Xu Hongqian will try his best to get rid of it.

Among the officials who have been squeezed out by Xu Hongqian in the court over the years, there are not a few talented officials. Earlier, Peng Chaodong also wrote a letter to persuade Xu Hongqian euphemistically, but Xu Hongqian listened to it.

Xu Hongqian's reply to Peng Chaodong only explained that everything was for the sake of the Qin Party, so he hurried things and did not sit on superfluous explanations.

It can be said that the situation has been eroded to such an extent, and Xu Hongqian, as the first assistant, needs to bear a lot of responsibility.

"He Tengxiao can't be removed, at least for now." Peng Chaodong said that Peng Chaodong didn't want to get rid of He Tengxiao, the reason is very simple, He Tengxiao is one of the very few generals who can compete with the Liao army, and more importantly, He Tengxiao is still young and has enough time to fight with the Liao army.

Peng Chaodong believes that only He Tengxiao still exists for one day, and the Liao army will inevitably have a headache for one more day, and killing He Tengxiao is just doing a thing that hurts relatives and enemies are happy. It is extremely unwise and irrational.

Now on the Liao army's side, He Tengxiao's worth has risen to 100,000 taels of silver, which shows how much the Liao army hates He Tengxiao.

"Why?" Xu Hongqian frowned, obviously he was very dissatisfied with Peng Chaodong's answer, and he was eager to get rid of He Tengxiao immediately.

Peng Chaodong sighed lightly and said, "The teacher is in a hurry. He Tengxiao is now the focus of attention, even the emperor attaches great importance to him, and if He Tengxiao is eliminated now, I am afraid it will be difficult for the emperor to explain. ”

He Tengxiao didn't want to do anything to dig his own corner anymore, and killed He Tengxiao, Xu Hongqian just temporarily took out a breath of injustice in his chest. But there is no benefit beyond that. Get rid of He Tengxiao, Xu Hongqian will not be the beneficiary, and the Qin Party will not be the beneficiary. , the real biggest beneficiary is the Liao army outside the city.

"So you can't do anything to him now?" Xu Hongqian said slowly.

Peng Chaodong nodded: "At least not now, when his limelight passes, after returning to Liaodong, it is not too late to find another opportunity to punish him." Since the gentleman wants to get rid of him, it is not too much time. ”

Peng Chaodong can only use this to temporarily perfunctory Xu Hongqian, Xu Hongqian is a ghost-like character, how can Peng Chaodong hide it from him Xu Hongqian.

Xu Hongqian smiled, looked at Peng Chaodong's eyes and asked, "Guoliang, when did you learn to lie too?" ”

Peng Chaodong hurriedly left the table in panic and knelt down, kowtowed to Xu Hongqian and said, "Students don't dare." ”

In the end, it was Peng Chaodong's teacher, who knew Peng Chaodong's personality very well, Xu Hongqian continued to maintain his smile and said: "I'm afraid that your country has a heart of love for talent, and you can't bear to do it?" ”

Xu Hongqian's words hit the nail on the head. (To be continued.) )
