"Won't let me go?" Liu Cheng sneered: "Didn't you hear what I just said clearly?" Okay, I'll say it again: He Renlong is a heinous crime to kill and surrender generals, remove him from his official position, and correct the law on the spot! Do you hear clearly now? Inspector Yang has already given the official the permission to engage in it cheaply, and a murderer like you who has done a lot of evil, this official can completely cut it first and then play it! Speaking of this, Liu Cheng took out a document from his sleeve and shook it at He Guocheng, the bright red Governor's Great Seal on it was like a soldering iron, burning He Guocheng's retinal nerves. He looked at the bright steel knives in the hands of the sergeants on both sides and Hao Shaoqi's vicious gaze, and suddenly felt that the fierce spirit in his chest disappeared all at once, and as soon as his knees weakened, he knelt on the ground, kowtowing and crying: "Lord Liu, spare your life!" Spare your life! “

"Spare your life?" Liu Cheng sneered: "Not to mention that you are so rude to this official, and you are also good at killing soldiers and coercing squires, which is a great crime." Why do you think I should spare your life? “

Looking at Liu Cheng's forced gaze, He Guocheng shouted loudly in his heart for a while: "As long as Lord Liu, you spare my life, I will do whatever you say!" He took two steps forward and said with a smile: "I am your dog, my lord, I will bite whoever you want me to bite, Wangwang!" “

Seeing He Guocheng's actions, Hao Shaoqi couldn't help but move his gaze to the side in disgust, but Liu Cheng smiled and said: "You are a wise person, okay, if you honestly follow my orders, I will spare your life." If not-" Liu Cheng said this, and suddenly paused: "Hao Shaoqi!" “

"In!"

"Later, you will follow him, as long as he dares to move, I will kill him with a knife!"

"Yes, sir!" Hao Shaoqi was overjoyed when he heard this, hurriedly took the order, turned his head and walked behind He Guocheng, pulled out his waist knife and put it on He Guocheng's shoulder, and said with a cruel smile: "You dog." Despite the turmoil to see? He Guocheng only felt a chill on his neck, and couldn't help but secretly complain.

"He Guocheng, let me ask you, what did He Ren do after the dragon fire merged with Shen Yikui and Bu Mu?"

He Guo wanted to tell a few lies perfunctory, but when he thought of the steel knife on his shoulder, his mind was blank, and he couldn't tell any lies, so he had to explain the events of those days one by one. Liu Cheng asked for details one by one, and He Guocheng didn't dare to deceive. I answered as much as I could, and finally replied with a sad face: "Lord Liu, the villain knows so much, spare your life!" “

"Really?" Liu Cheng laughed, in He Guocheng's eyes, this was nothing less than a demonic smile, he shuddered, and said in a low voice: "Yes." “

"What about Zhao Wende, Lord Zhao? Why not? Liu Cheng suddenly asked loudly, as if to strengthen the power of the question. As soon as Hao Shaoqi's hand was forced, the blade immediately sank into the skin on He Guocheng's neck.

"I said, I said, Lord Zhao was locked up by He Renlong!"

"Locked up? He Renlong didn't hurt Lord Zhao? “

"Nope. No! He Guocheng was afraid that Liu Cheng would be dissatisfied, so Hao Shaoqi cut it down with a knife behind his back, and hurriedly shouted: "He Renlong admires Lord Zhao's integrity very much, and he also told the villain to treat Lord Zhao well!" “

"Really?" Liu Cheng said with a smile.

"It's true!"

"Actually, it's not hard to spare your life. It's just-" Liu Cheng suddenly stopped when he said this, and He Guocheng hurriedly grabbed this life-saving straw and said loudly: "The villain is a damn one." I just ask the adults to give me a chance to atone for my sins! “

"Good, good!" Liu Cheng walked up to He Guocheng and patted the other party's shoulder gently: "I'll give you a chance, it depends on whether you know if it's interesting!" “

Hutou Village, in the early hours of the morning.

As in recent days, fog began to pick up in the Hutou area at dawn. In the blend of thick white mist and dawn, there was silence in the village, only the occasional sound of the soldiers guarding the village and the sound of bangzi, but no human figure was visible. The torches on both sides of the gate of the village fluttered under the blowing of the morning breeze, and it was impossible to see clearly from a distance of more than a dozen steps. Most of the people in the stockade were still asleep, without the sound of horns, drills, or horses' hooves. Because Shen Yikui only considered the dangerous terrain when choosing the station, there was not enough space in the village as a school ground for drills, and the battles in the past few days were also relatively hard, so He Renlong was exempted from drills, and the soldiers were naturally happy to sleep a rare lazy night.

Suddenly, a sentry on duty heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and he immediately became alert, and hurriedly woke up his two companions who were napping by the fire, and ran to the wall of the wall and looked into the distance with the battlements. But he could see nothing but the white mist, only the sound of horses' hooves getting closer, mixed with the clashing of weapons, and it was clear that this was an army approaching.

"Could it be that they came to rob the camp?" A soldier asked.

"Camp robbery? Who's going to rob the camp? The thieves within a radius of 100 miles have all been beaten away, and besides, how can those thieves have this ability! “

The third soldier smiled: "In my opinion, which one outside won the battle to repay the merit, Lao Tzu dares to bet!" “

"Yes, yes!" The first soldier agreed: "No matter what, it is impossible to call the boss up and let him decide!" “

The guard of the gate was always woken up, he rubbed his eyes and yawned, and when he walked to the gate, he poked his head out and looked down. At this time, the visitor was already very close to the gate of the village, and he could clearly hear the footsteps of many people, the gasping of people and livestock, and the faint figures of many people. At this time, he was completely awake, and shouted loudly to the door of the village, "What person? “

"It's Lao Tzu He Guocheng!" A loud voice with a rice fat accent replied, "Open the door, I have something important to see my uncle!" Is it the king? It's you on duty, I'm sorry, I disturbed your sleep! “

"Ah, it's Lord He!" Mr. Wang had already heard the other party's voice, and hurriedly smiled: "What's so urgent, let's make a great contribution again!" Wait a minute, I'll have the door open immediately! “

As he spoke, the general had already instructed his subordinates to open the door quickly, and he himself ran down the wall to greet He Guocheng. He saw He Guocheng at the head of the team, and a burly man with sideburns and beard was close behind him, like an iron tower, majestic and extraordinary.

"Lord He, your pro-soldier is so young, is it newly accepted, right?"

"Yes, it's new!" He Guochengqiang said with a smile, the saber on his waist was actually just an empty shell. There is only a knife handle on it, and along the way, Hao Shaoqi is like a dog skin plaster sticking to himself, and his hand never leaves the handle of the knife, others see that he is loyal to protect himself, but He Guocheng knows that as long as he makes a slight move, he will be cut with a knife, even if he has some thoughts in his heart, he has long been wiped out after such a toss along the way.

"This body, this arm, is really a good man!" The king praised He Guocheng completely without feeling He Guocheng's abnormality. At this time, Liu Cheng also entered the walled gate, and he looked around. nodded to Du Guoying behind him. Du Guoying, who knew about it, led a dozen or so sergeants to pretend to be inadvertent, surrounded Wang Gang and several sergeants guarding the door, and with a low shout, he strangled them by the neck with hemp rope and dragged them aside and tied them up.

"Guoying, this place will be handed over to you to guard, and no one can enter or leave without my order!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Lord He, take me to He Renlong immediately!" Liu Cheng said sharply.

"Yes, sir!" He Guocheng bowed his head obediently. Walking towards the courtyard where He Renlong lived, Liu Cheng led a team of sergeants to follow, and the group walked through an alley and stopped in front of a courtyard. Judging from the thick courtyard wall and the heavy eaves behind the courtyard wall, this should be the best courtyard in Hutou Village, and it should also be He Renlong's residence. Without Liu Cheng's order, He Guocheng stepped forward tamely and knocked on the knocker twice. Shouting: "Open the door!" ”

"Who!" A lazy answer was heard from inside the door.

"It's me, Guocheng, I have something important to see my lord!"

There was an answer from inside the door. Immediately, the door was opened, and a sleepy soldier rubbed his eyes and asked, "Uncle Guocheng, why are you looking for an adult so early in the morning?" “

said that it was too late, He Guocheng rushed into the door, and reflexively closed the door, Hao Shaoqi couldn't react, a knife only slashed on the gate, leaving a deep knife mark, and then everyone heard He Guocheng's hoarse shout from inside: "The thief has entered the village, the thief has entered the village!" ”

"Damn! What a cunning guy! Hao Shaoqi angrily slashed at the door again, but there was only one more knife mark on the thick jujube wood door.

"Panic what, knock the door open for me!" Liu Cheng sneered.

"Yes!" All the soldiers responded violently, and four or five men with great strength lifted the stone in front of the courtyard gate, and only hit it twice, and the gate made a painful ** sound, and it could be clearly seen that there was a deep crack on it.

The soldier behind the door was already frightened and pale, and he didn't know what was going on at all, so he asked tremblingly, "Uncle Guocheng, what's going on?" ”

He Guocheng saw more and more cracks on the courtyard door, and he couldn't support it a few times, he gritted his teeth and said, "You stay here for a while, I'll go inside and call someone!" With that, he ran to the inner courtyard without looking back. As soon as he ran away, the courtyard door was knocked open, and the pro-soldier couldn't dodge and was pressed underneath, Hao Shaoqi rushed in first, and cut it down with a knife without saying anything, and the blood spurted out suddenly splashed all over the wall!

"Pass on my order, only kill the first evil He Renlong, and never ask! Whoever beheads the head of the dragon will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver and 20 pieces of cloth! Liu Cheng shouted loudly, and behind him, soldiers poured into the courtyard like a tide. Only congratulate the people and dragons, and never ask! The shouts of killing shook the tiles.

On this morning, He Renlong got up very early, because he had planned to go to Yan'an City to learn about the recent movements in the court, after all, his life and death did not depend on the victory or defeat of the battlefield, but on the struggle above the court. For this reason, thirty of his own soldiers had already finished their breakfast, put on their armor, and waited in the courtyard, while the grooms were preparing their horses for the journey. He Renlong himself stood in front of the hall and watched as the groom saddled his mount. At this time, he heard the shouts outside, and his brow immediately furrowed.

"You two go outside and see what's going on, and the rest of you go up to the courtyard wall and roof first!"

As a battle-hardened general, He Renlong immediately made the right judgment. His dwelling had two courtyards, one in between. The soldiers who climbed onto the roof immediately saw the enemy soldiers pouring in and He Guocheng who was fleeing, and they began to shoot at the front soldiers with bows and crossbows without waiting for He Renlong's order. These pro-soldiers were all warriors selected by He Renlong from the army, both in archery and arm strength, and the first few soldiers were immediately shot down, and they had to cover themselves with shields and retreat.

"What's going on?" He Renlong asked sharply, and the panting He Guocheng replied: "Uncle, it's Liu Cheng's dog thief, he got Yang He's order to come and kill you, uncle!" ”

"Liu Cheng?" He Renlong's eyebrows furrowed dangerously: "How many people are there, why did he enter the gate so quickly?" ”

"About three or four hundred!" He Guocheng did not answer He Renlong's second question, he knew very well that if He Renlong knew that he had won the walled gate, he would never spare himself.

"Three or four hundred?" He Renlong sneered and shouted loudly: "Block the courtyard gate for me, women, cooks, and grooms block the courtyard gate, and the sons and daughters follow me to the roof, beating drums and blowing trumpets, then Liu Cheng has nothing to fear, as long as the other people in the village wake up, they can take him down!" ”

"Adult, the villain is incompetent, he got away with He Guocheng, please forgive me!" Hao Shaoqi knelt on the ground, he received two arrows on his shoulder, if it weren't for Jiahao, I'm afraid it would have been scrapped.

"Flash aside, you have to ask for guilt and wait until you cut off He Renlong's head!" Liu Cheng waved his hand in annoyance and shouted, "What about the bird hand? All of them are put into the house, and all the rabbits are driven out of the room. Dugu! Where is Dugu? ”

"The last general!" Du Gu hurriedly answered.

"You have seen Lord Zhao, immediately bring thirty people to me to find Zhao Wende and Lord Zhao back, if you hurt a single hair, don't come back to see me!"

"Yes, sir!"

While he was talking, there was a burst of drums and horns in the inner courtyard, obviously this was He Renlong's signal to his subordinates in the camp to ask for help, and Du Ruhu on the side said in a deep voice: "My lord, let's attack with fire, as long as there is a fire together, the hearts of He Renlong's troops will be in chaos!" ”

"No! What I want is He Renlong's head, and as soon as he sets it on fire, it will be messed up, but it will give him a chance to escape. Liu Cheng looked back at the houses that were the camp of the Ming army, and sneered: "Don't be afraid, Guoying has already guarded the gate of the village, so I'm not afraid of any more cats!" “

At this time, there was a sound of birds on the roof, and almost at the same time, there was a scream on the roof of the inner courtyard, and in Liu Cheng's position, an officer could clearly be seen falling from the courtyard wall, splashing red and white on the ground. The rest who were not hit also hurriedly hid, and the arrows in the courtyard suddenly thinned out. (To be continued.) )
