Chapter 52: Sail South
There are hardly many pedestrians on the road, and even some shops are closed. =
Since the weather was so cold, the cold wind blew on their faces like knives, so they just walked slowly.
At this time, at an intersection.
Qingji Gongzi and Nie Zheng were dressed thick and thick all over their bodies, and even their faces were covered.
It was absolutely normal attire at the time, and nine out of ten people on the street wore it this way, because it was so cold that if you didn't keep warm, you would definitely freeze your ears.
In front of them was a flatbed truck with a dirty blanket on which were placed three bags of grain and a load of dry firewood, and in front of which was a small wooden plank.
A few words were written crookedly on it: good rice, a bag of 200 wen. Please do not make a counter-offer.
Almost everyone who passed by here almost scolded when they saw this, such a small bag of rice costs 200 Wen, thinking about money and going crazy, and deserving to come out to sell things on such a cold day.
There are almost no people who stop to ask about the price of rice, but many people ask about the price of dry firewood.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the market for dry firewood is becoming more and more popular, and there is a situation where supply exceeds demand.
Qingji Gongzi and Nie Zheng shook their heads, and then pointed to the fire in front of them, signaling that they still used it.
Those passers-by could only walk helplessly.
"It's so cold, it's unbearable."
The one who can't stand this kind of weather the most is Qingji Gongzi.
He is the prince of Wu, and the country of Wu is located in the south, when has he ever encountered this kind of weather that can freeze people's noses.
Nie Zheng also nodded approvingly, he had never encountered such extremely bad weather.
However, thanks to this kind of weather, there are hardly any soldiers patrolling the city on the streets, and it is estimated that all of them are warming up in the camp.
At this moment, an Iron Eagle Ruishi walked up to them and said softly, "They have come out, Sun Degong is wearing a black mink coat. ”
Nie Zheng and Qingji nodded knowingly, indicating that they understood.
Then the Iron Eagle Ruishi pretended to ask if he could bargain for the grain, and after Nie Zheng shook his head, the Iron Eagle Ruishi scolded and left.
At this time, Qingji Gongzi looked at an intersection not far away, and a carriage was parked at that intersection, and Yang Yuji and Meng Kuo were both sitting in the carriage.
Although they all hid in the car, they were able to hide from the cold wind. But I can't bake the fire, and I guess it's cold enough.
At this moment, a couple in ragged clothes with a small child came from not far away.
Seeing this, Qingji Gongzi and Nie Zheng couldn't help frowning.
Just yesterday, a ragged little child came to their car with a small bowl with a torn corner, looking at the bags with a wistful expression.
Looking at the child shivering in the cold wind, Qingji Gongzi gave him some rice with a kind heart.
I didn't expect the whole family to come today.
The couple and the child came to the car and looked at them wistfully.
Qingji Gongzi and Nie Zheng glanced at each other, and they both smiled bitterly.
At this time, Sun Degong and they are coming soon, and now it is better to send them away quickly.
Nie Zheng picked up a bag of rice and handed it to them, and then said impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't disturb our business, it's really bad luck to know you." ”
Seeing this, their family of three was overjoyed, and with this bag of rice, they should be able to fill their stomachs for a month.
So he quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, thank you." In the next life, our family is willing to be cows and horses to repay this kindness. ”
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't get in the way of our business."
Nie Zheng rushed to humanity with an impatient face.
The family of three left with great gratitude.
When several passers-by saw this, they all pointed at them, and secretly sighed that there are really good people in this world.
"We might be hurting them by doing that."
Qingji Gongzi said.
"I can't care about so much, I knew that I shouldn't have given them in the first place."
Nie Zheng said in a deep voice.
After saying that, he glanced at the carriage in the distance, and found that Yang Yuji and Meng Kuo on the carriage had already got off the carriage, and their bodies were tightly wrapped.
With a hat on his head, he leaned against a dead tree next to him, chatting and looking around.
Qingji shook his head and didn't say anything.
It didn't take long for Sun Degong and his party to appear in their field of vision.
The few pedestrians on the street saw Sun Degong and the others, and hurriedly got out of the way so as not to collide with them.
Qingji Gongzi was a little excited, and he quietly approached the grain cart, and his long sword was hidden under the cloth blanket of the grain cart.
Nie Zheng's expression remained unchanged, and he even gave those pro-soldiers a smile.
Those pro-soldiers snorted coldly, just a hillbilly.
Now that Sun Degong was only fifteen steps away from them, Nie Zheng felt a little blood boiling, as long as he suddenly attacked now, he would definitely be able to kill Sun Degong.
But he couldn't attack, because Lu Yan strictly ordered that the first wave of assassinations must be completed by Yoyuki.
Once Yoyuki succeeded, then they immediately retreated.
Qingji gave Meng Kuo a gesture to them, and Meng Kuo said that he understood.
Meng Kuo said to Yoyuki, "Are you sure? ”
At the same time, he also signaled the two Iron Eagle Warriors on the other side of the street, signaling them to look out for the wind while slightly blocking pedestrians.
"As long as he's in my sight, there's absolutely no problem."
Yoyuki took out his strong bow from the car, although the weather was very cold, which made him a little uncomfortable.
But he believes that in about a hundred steps, he will be able to hit, which is the confidence of a peerless archer.
After saying that, he took out two arrows and held them in his hands.
The cluster of arrows not only showed a faint blue color, but also emitted a faint fishy smell, which was obviously smeared with poison.
"The first goal is Sun Degong, and the second goal is Xue Wenju. It's best to be able to kill both of them at once, and if you can't, kill the first one first. ”
Meng Kuo carefully looked around, letting him wind.
Fortunately, there are very few pedestrians around, so basically there is no big problem.
"I know."
Yoyuki looked indifferent, and then looked at the cavalry team passing through that intersection in the distance.
The intersection was not wide, only about fifteen meters, and it only took a few seconds for the cavalry to cross it, but that was enough.
At this time, Sun Degong didn't know that he had been targeted by death, as long as he passed through that intersection, then a fatal arrow would come over.
More and more cavalry passed through that junction and soon it was about to flow to Sun Degong.
Qingji Gongzi unconsciously felt that his breathing was heavier, and the green tendons on his hands were exposed.
Nie Zheng's face was indifferent, and he didn't even go to see Sun Degong.
Yoyuki stared intently into the distance, using the dead trees and his covered body to shield his bow and arrows.
At this moment, a horse suddenly came running from afar.
This quiet street is particularly noticeable.
"Master Sun, wait a minute."
The cavalry on the mount shouted loudly as he galloped.
Sun Degong and his personal soldiers hurriedly stopped, and they quickly recognized this person as one of Wang Huazhen's personal soldiers.
So Wang Huazhen smiled and said: "It turned out to be Wang Qiang, is there anything the governor is looking for me?" ”
"The governor has something important to discuss with you, so let you go to the governor's yamen as soon as possible."
The cavalryman said as soon as he stopped his horse.
Hearing this, Qingji Gongzi's face couldn't help but change drastically.
Nie Zheng also glanced up at Sun Degong.
"Alright then, let's go back."
Sun Degong said after a little deep groaning.
At this time, Nie Zheng had already drawn a long sword from under the car, put it behind him, and then walked towards Sun Degong.
Seeing this, Qingji also sighed.
"You're ......"
Seeing Nie Zheng, who looked indifferent, but was getting closer and closer to him, Sun Degong didn't know why he was a little uneasy.
"Die!"
Nie Zheng said very blandly.
Then he bypassed one of his own soldiers beside him like lightning and stabbed Sun Degong fiercely.
This sword was so unexpected that Sun Degong didn't even react.
It stabbed Sun Degong in the heart so hard that Nie Zheng was worried that he wasn't dead, so he wrenched the sword again, then pulled it out and stabbed it again.
"You ......"
Sun Degong looked at Nie Zheng with blood foaming at his mouth.
How can this be? He still has great glory and wealth that he has not enjoyed.
He doesn't want to die!
Seeing this, all the people opened their mouths in surprise.
Sun Degong was killed right in front of their eyes, isn't it true?
At this time, Qingji Gongzi also acted, he quickly killed the nearest soldier with his sword, and then killed Xue Wenju.
Xue Wenju was only two people away from him, and he believed that he would be able to kill him soon.
"There are assassins!"
I don't know who yelled loudly first.
Then those people reacted one after another, and one by one they slapped their horses and rushed towards these two people.
But cavalry must have speed to be lethal, and without speed they are not even as agile as infantry.
In the face of these pro-soldiers who were still riding on horses, Qingji brandished his sword, almost one by one, and quickly killed in front of Xue Wenju.
Seeing the murderous Qingji son, Xue Wenju was so frightened that he softened.
This happened so suddenly, before Xue Wenju could react, a sword stabbed him in the heart.
Xue Wenju tried his best to avoid the side, but he forgot that he was on the horse, and finally did not dodge.
The sword stabbed him through the cold.
Looking at the smiling Qingji Gongzi, Xue Wenju couldn't understand why he could still show such a smile when he was killing.
"They fought."
Meng Kuo said helplessly.
Yang Yuji didn't speak, but his face was a little unsightly, and his invincible archery couldn't shoot the enemy general.
Since you can't kill and shoot enemy generals, it's the same with shooting minions.
The arrows in Yoyuki's hand shot out in a row, killing the cavalry who wanted to pass through the intersection and kill the young man of Qingji one by one.
More than twenty people only need to shoot more than twenty arrows, and it is very simple to kill all these people.
Seeing this, I felt a chill on my face.
Marksmen are terrible people!
"I'm going to help."
Meng Kuo said.
With that, he rode towards the junction.
A peerless swordsman, plus a number one warrior of the Wu Kingdom.
The two men suddenly attacked these cavalrymen who did not rush up, and killing people was really like cutting vegetables with a machete.
Coupled with the archery support of Yang Yuji from afar, except for Wang Huazhen, who reported the news, saw the opportunity quickly and fled quickly, everyone else was killed.
After killing these people, the four of them looked up to the sky and laughed, and then snatched the horses of the soldiers and left.
When the patrolmen arrived, all they were left with corpses all over the ground.
******
******
The death of Sun Degong and his party shook the entire city of Quang Ninh like a storm.
A total of twenty-seven people, including Sun Degong, were killed by four people in less than a minute.
When I think of this, many people are chilled.
If these four men come to assassinate them, will they be able to stop them?
Who killed Sun Degong was a matter of opinion.
Some people think that the Jurchens did it, because there was a sharpshooter among them.
The archer's archery was so terrible that he shot ten arrows, all ten of which pierced the throat, and three of them were poisoned arrows.
It is estimated that the only archers who can find such a powerful archer are the Jurchens, and since the Ming army popularized firearms, the archery skills of the Ming army have dropped significantly.
Some people also believe that it was done by people within the Ming army, because Sun Degong was trusted by Wang Huazhen, and there were many people who were jealous of him, and it may not be difficult to find a sharpshooter from the recklessness.
But many people scoff at this, are you a cabbage when you are an archer? If you have the ability, you can find me a look.
After Sun Degong's death, Wang Huazhen was furious and immediately ordered the entire city to be sealed down and the Assassins were hunted down.
It's just that I don't even know what the assassin looks like, so how to find it.
But after Shangguan's order, even if the order is unreasonable, it still has to be carried out.
So those soldiers and catchers went out one after another, and the whole city was sold.
After this investigation, the assassins were not found, but the Jurchen spies did find a lot.
Those soldiers are all overjoyed, how to say that this is also a credit.
So Jin Yiwei tortured those spies, and those who were willing to be spies for Houjin were definitely not loyal and unyielding people, and they had to confess some facts under the torture.
For example, the Xue family actually fornicated with the Jurchens, who were spies planted by the Jurchens in Guangning City, and the Xue family actually placed a child by Sun Degong's side.
This kid has recently won Sun Degong's trust and has been promoted one after another.
As soon as this news came out, it was a hornet's nest.
Why did Sun Degong want to be promoted to the position of a spy?
The Xue family was immediately imprisoned and then tortured.
A member of the Xue family was tortured, and finally confessed that Sun Degong had already secretly surrendered to the Jurchens, and planned to wait for the Jurchens to attack the city and cooperate with the Jurchens to open the city.
After learning the news, Wang Huazhen was first struck by lightning, and then furious, it is said that the governor Yamen moved out a basket of broken porcelain that day, and several servants who were not long-eyed were almost killed alive.
At this time, it doesn't matter who killed Sun Degong, what matters is how things should end the end.
If Xiong Tingbi knew, he wouldn't laugh off his big teeth.
The gatekeeper guerrilla appointed by Wang Huazhen was actually a spy of the Jurchens.
Who is he guarding the door for?
Jurchen or Ming?
Wang Huazhen had the intention to cover up the matter, but Jinyiwei had already intervened in the case, and the matter was finally known by the court officials.
Of course, the court was of course furious when it found out, and it was inevitable that Wang Huazhen would be scolded for a while.
Xiong Tingbi finally took advantage of this incident to save the game, so he united with several ministers with good relations to impeach Wang Huazhen for unknown acquaintances, and he should be removed from his post as governor of Liaodong.
Of course, Wang Huazhen would not agree, so the court made a fuss because of this matter.
At this time, Lu Yan had already left Liaodong by boat.
Lu Shoubei has a clean net worth, great military achievements, and has no intersection with Sun Guerrilla, of course, it is impossible to be a candidate to assassinate Sun Guerrilla.
Lu Yan left Quang Ninh as soon as the city gate opened, because after stopping in Quang Ninh for so long, it was time to go back to his life.
His reasons were so above board that they did not arouse anyone's suspicion at all.
So now Lu Yan took three Western giant ships to sail south and went straight to Taiwan at the first time.
