Chapter 25: Murderous Heart
"Huangkou child, I swear to kill him!" After hearing the envoy's return, Bao Hong's already gloomy face became even more gloomy and infiltrating.
The envoy didn't dare to take a breath in front of Bao Hong, and after a while, Bao Hong said in a dark manner, "Immediately allocate 400 collars of deputy armor, 1,000 knives, 100 horses, 200 bows, 10,000 arrows to Chen Qiong, and attach 2,000 stones of grain and grass, and then send Chen Qiong to the official line in the afternoon." ”
"Lord Captain, wouldn't it be too generous to allocate so many weapons and grain and grass, the army of the counties that fought fiercely in the county town of Gepi has never received such a heavy reward." General Zhang Fang said with some surprise, knives and bows and arrows are enough, the most valuable thing is the four hundred oracle bones, even if it is more than 10,000 parts of Bao Hong, he is one of the eight captains appointed by Emperor Ling, and this time there are no more than forty percent of the soldiers in armor in the army who accompanied him south, and a pair of armor can often save a soldier several times and reduce his injuries. Once the injury recovers, he is a veteran who has gone through the battle formation, and his combat power will be improved by more than a few percent? This shows the importance of armor.
"That Chen Qiong killed Bai Jue, he should be rewarded, but there is a fate, no fate, tomorrow, send someone to Chen Qiong, summon him, you will take a team of knives and axes to lie in my line, to throw a cup as a number, once you hear the sound, you will be that Chen Qiong will be divided into corpses, spliced and hung at the city gate for three days, I will see who dares to be so bold, openly provoke me." Bao Hong's sneer was already murderous, and Chen Qiong was already a dead corpse in his eyes.
………
"This son of a bitch, he finally did a job." On the second day, a large number of weapons and grain and grass were constantly pulled into the camp, Chen Qiong smiled with joy, the horse has no night grass and no fat, no windfall is not rich, the last time in Runan County, Liu Yi's appreciation, Chen Qiong can recruit troops and buy horses, bird guns for artillery, this time Bao Hong transported a large number of ordnance, Chen Qiong's direct iron guard once broke through five hundred people, and after breaking several Yellow Turban rebellions, the cavalry also had more than 100 people, all wearing armor and holding sharp blades, and the archers also broke through 500 people. For the armies of other counties, it was much better.
"Lord Duwei, the war in Gebi is urgent, and I ask you to lead your troops to the battlefield as much as possible after receiving these burdens, so as to relieve the lack of troops." Yesterday's envoy arched his hand to Chen Qiong and said, "There was a lot of offense yesterday, please forgive me." ”
"It's okay, there was something wrong with my words and deeds yesterday, please tell the captain on my behalf, and say that after I break the yellow scarf, I will plead guilty to the captain again." In line with the truth that having milk is a mother, since this Bao Hong is rare and generous, Chen Qiong might as well say a few words of listening, and everyone carries the sedan chair.
"It just so happened that Lord Captain had already prepared some water and wine, and wanted to invite Captain Chen to talk about it, discuss the method of breaking the thief, and also resolve the previous grievances with Lord Captain. Chen Duwei still doesn't know that you killed the giant bandit Bai Jue, and Liu Yi, the Taishou of Runan, has already asked Lord Zhou Mu for credit, and presumably the official position of Lord Duwei will be changed soon. Ling Envoy's narrow eyes said with a smile, compared to yesterday, the nose is not a nose, and the eyes are not eyes, which are undoubtedly ten million times stronger. The captain sent a certain messenger to say, by the way, to congratulate Chen Duwei on his promotion. ”
"Haha, it's easy to say, I'll change my clothes first, and then I'll go to visit the captain, and by the way, I'll also apologize for the offense yesterday." As soon as Chen Qiong heard that she was going to be promoted, she was also very happy, Sister Ni, as soon as this official position is promoted, she will be able to bring more soldiers, and in this era when people's lives are not as good as dogs in troubled times, the ability to protect herself will be a little more secure.
"Lord Du Wei is going to go to the banquet set up by Captain Bao?" Chen arrived when he heard the news, and happened to meet Chen Qiong, who had changed into a gray robe.
"Exactly, then Bao Hong was finally generous, sent these weapons and grain and grass over, and received things, so what does it matter if I lead the army to Gepi to fight the rebellious army again." Chen Qiong pulled her sleeves and said, she is not used to wearing clothes in the Eastern Han Dynasty, her mouth is wide, and it is inconvenient to run.
"Lord Duwei, please be careful, this Bao Hong's name of greed and contempt has been remembered for a long time, and he is ruthless, so he is respectful and respectful, please go, I am afraid of evil intentions." Chen Zhi reminded.
"What? Do you think this is a Hongmen banquet carefully prepared by Bao Hong? Chen Qiong was shocked, and then said with some disbelief, "I am also an official of the imperial court, and I have merit in killing thieves, no matter how bold this Bao Hong is, I am afraid that he may not dare to harm me for no reason, right?" ”
"My lord, you must know that you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to prevent others. This Bao Hong has changed too much, and we need to be careful. Chen Zhi said bitterly again, "If the lord doesn't call the emperor out, then Bao Hong is helpless." ”
"It's not proper, I have already agreed to the envoy, and besides, Bao Hong has sent so many weapons, grain and grass, if I don't go, I am afraid that I will be ridiculed by others." Chen Qiong frowned and said, this era pays attention to a reputation, if you don't even dare to go to a banquet, and Bao Hong is still the boss, he has already made a polite gesture, if he wants to be precipitous again, I'm afraid it won't sound good if this word reaches Liu Xu Taishou.
"Please think twice!" Chen Zhi persuaded bitterly again.
"In this way, Er and Xu Chu each led a team of elite soldiers, and prepared to meet me near Bao Hongxingyuan, if I see that the situation is not good, I will take the opportunity to get out." After thinking about it for a while, Chen Qiong did not completely reject Chen Zhi's kindness.
"Whoa!" Chen Zhi knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he took the order and went out of the camp with Xu Chu.
After galloping for a while, they arrived near Bao Hong's military camp. However, Bao Hong was a hedonist, and his residence was a large mansion near Daying, which was also heavily guarded. From time to time, squads of soldiers patrol back and forth.
"I, Runan Chen Qiong, came at the invitation of the school captain." Chen Qiong showed the invitation at the guard in front of the door and said in a loud voice.
"It turned out to be Chen Duwei, a certain adult has already confessed, if Chen Duwei arrives, he should be directly led to Xingyuan!" The soldier smiled when he heard this, and led Chen Qiong inside.
This Bao Hong's line guards have increased a lot compared to last time. After walking less than 100 meters, he found a few small groups of soldiers, Chen Qiong's pupils shrank, originally he didn't pay too much attention to Bao Hong's banquet, but after Chen Zhi mentioned it, Chen Qiong took it to heart, and under careful observation, he really found something wrong, but at this time he had already arrived at Bao Hong's line, and he wanted to rush out by himself, but he was afraid that he would be chopped into meat sauce before he reached the door.
"Why did Duwei Chen hesitate?" The soldier quickly noticed that Chen Qiong's pace had slowed down, and asked out loud.
"I drank more water before I went out, and then I rode a horse for a while, and I wanted to go to the hut." Chen Qiong said with some embarrassment, it's not all lying, it's really a little like peeing.
"So-and-so, I'll take Duwei Chen to the thatched house." The soldier nodded when he heard this, Bao Hong didn't know about it for the time being, except for the general Zhang Fang, and as for the soldier who led the way, it was even more unclear, how could there be no reason not to meet Chen Qiong's request.
