Chapter 188: Taking Jinling (3)
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Shao Lao Er took out a monocular from the water, and took the telescope to observe the city wall of Nanjing in the distance, this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, can he force the Qi Overseers to sign the alliance under the city with the two hundred people in his hands?
"It's better to sneak directly into the city and kill that Qi overseer, the young master is still a woman's benevolence." Shao Lao Er pondered.
Could Zhao Yun not want to kill him? The answer is yes, it's best to kill. But after the death of the Qi Overseer, who will take over his territory? In case Sun Chuanfang or other direct bigwigs came, these demon kings of the mixed world were not comparable to the defeated generals of the Qi Commander's army, and Zhao Yun, a rookie, would definitely be pinched to death in front of them.
Shao Lao Er and Zhao Yun set off from Yixing at the same time, but one was by boat and the other by plane, and these two different means of transportation are not comparable in terms of speed.
Zhao Yun had just rushed back to Yixing from Langxi on the front foot, and Meng Shentong, the commander of the 23rd Regiment, led his rapid reaction force to rush outside the county seat.
Although Meng Shentong didn't come for this matter, seeing Ercheng's smiling face, there was no need to pierce this layer of window paper, so he pretended to follow Ercheng into the county seat and went straight to the county office. Of course, with Meng Shentong, the two-hundred-person bicycle team also naturally poured into the county.
All the way to the county office, Meng Shentong looked around, the city was as usual, the people were in order, there was no precursor to rebellion, and even he was confused now, could it be a false report of intelligence? This Zhao Yun is a big financier, and he has taken a lot of benefits in the past, if he makes a mistake, he will lose a lot of extra money in the future! Thinking about it, it was better to find an acquaintance to ask about the situation, so he asked Ercheng, "What about Deputy County Magistrate Xu?" ”
Cheng Mushan, the head of the militia group, immediately stepped forward and replied, "Deputy county magistrate Xu, he is already waiting in the county office, you know that our county magistrate generally does not work in the county office, so the affairs in the county government also need someone to preside over it." ”
"Wait?" Meng Shentong thought about it for a while, and replied, "Don't make it too grand, if there are too many people, I won't go." ”
Cheng Muqing, the chief of the police department who is the boss of the Cheng family, saw that Meng Shentong had shirked something, and immediately said, "There are few people, they are all a few officials in the county. ”
Meng Shentong glanced at him a few times, and then asked, "What about Captain Zhou?" "This week, Luo Ke is the head of the county garrison regiment and the military commander of the county, why didn't he show up this time?
Speaking of Zhou Luo, Cheng Muqing said in a weird manner, "Head Zhou led people to find Head Guo to discuss the robbers on the road." This head Guo is angry, if he doesn't find something to do for him, I'm afraid he will cause trouble for us again! ”
This Guo Shenqian wanted to make a big fuss about the county, but the rumors were boiling, and Meng Shentong had already heard about it. At that time, I thought that Guo Shenqian, a bandit, had attacked the city, and his team was going to kill Guo Shenqian first! I didn't expect Nanjing to suppress Zhao Yun, this suppression of Zhao Yun is also a suppression of his own wealth! Although Meng Shentong had to obey the orders of the Qi Governors, Meng Shentong was Zhu Xi's man, not a hardcore Qi Commander's subordinate. So he also expressed his opinion, "It's really not calm on the ground recently! There are robbers on the road and lake bandits on the water. Where did they all come from? ”
The three of them all smiled bitterly after speaking, who is making trouble about these things, these three all know it.
"Forget it, there is wine today, and we are drunk today, let's go to the deputy county magistrate Xu, the head of the county seat!" Meng Shen informed that once Zhao Yun entered the eyes of the Qi Governors, he would not be able to escape this catastrophe, and sooner or later Zhao Yun's wealth would be bitten by the Qi Commanders, and as for how much to bite and how little to bite, it would depend on Zhao Yun's ability.
Meng Shentong and Er Cheng didn't say a word, but the bicycle team behind him began to disperse to all corners of the city, and when they reached the county office, there were only eighty people behind them.
"Head Meng, what does this mean?" Cheng Muqing asked, holding back the fire.
"Oh! It's not like they haven't had a holiday in a long time! This time I came to the meeting, and they stopped by the city to buy some daily necessities. Rest assured, by the time we finish the meeting, they'll be almost done. Meng Shentong said with a sloppy look.
Ercheng didn't have the slightest displeasure on his face, but he had already scolded in his heart, "Isn't it just that I'm afraid of an ambush!" Also procurement, I'll see what you will take later! ”
Seeing Meng Shentong enter the county seat safely, outside the city, Guo Shenqian's spies quickly reported to his boss.
"Head Guo, this time, Head Meng specially asked our county magistrate to set up a table and drink wine in the county seat, and specially invited the nearby head to accompany him to resolve the contradiction between you and our county magistrate." Zhou Luo limped on one leg and stood on Guo Shenqian's territory for a long time, and Guo Shenqian, who had set up a full shelf, met him.
Zhou Luo was already on fire in his heart at this moment, if it weren't for Zhao Yun's previous plan, Zhou Luo wouldn't say that he would lead the team to fight against this bandit surnamed Guo, as long as he had to put on a bad face. But now Master Zhou Luo Zhou still has to be amiable and smiling.
Guo Shen listened to Zhou Luo's intentions after chattering, and he didn't say anything, just lying on the Taishi chair and squinting. It wasn't until he got the report from his subordinates that he sighed and stood up, "Captain Zhou is so polite, then if I don't go, my brother won't be on the road!" Little ones, put our posture out. Let's go to the county seat and have a good time! ”
Guo Shenqian and his entourage of four or five hundred people poured into the city.
As soon as he entered the city, Guo Shenqian, who had always believed in his sixth sense, felt that there was something wrong with today's atmosphere, and the guards standing at the gate of the city were still those guards in the county seat, but Guo Shenqian just felt a little different.
He beckoned at the moment, lingered at the city gate for a while, and watched the people at the city gate enter and leave the city, as usual, there was nothing special.
Looking at the brothers around him again, Guo Shenqian still didn't find anything abnormal, but he was uneasy in his heart, and after thinking about it, for the sake of safety, he transferred the number one hundred of his brothers to guard the city gate of the county seat. At this moment, the teahouses and restaurants around the city gate were immediately occupied by these bandits and bullies.
Guo Shenqian saw that even though there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping around, there was still no surprise, and he felt that he had been in the house for too long recently, and he was a little nervous. But be careful to make the ship of ten thousand years. Be careful a hundred times and you won't die, as long as you're not careful once, it's over.
Ignoring the iron face of the head of Zhou Luo Zhou beside him, he went straight to the county government after complaining about the crime, and saw the bicycle troops at the gate of the county government and the county government gate with a lot of red lanterns hanging today.
This bicycle unit, Guo Shenqian knows that it is Meng Shentong's signature team, and all of them are elite. But it is precisely because Meng Shentong is here that Guo Shenqian dares to step into the gate of the county, why?
Because Guo Shenqian knew that Zhou Luo and Zhao Yun were too close, if he joined forces with Zhao Yun to yin himself, then he would be Longyou Shoal. And Meng Shentong is Zhu Xi's person, a subordinate of the Jiangsu Overseer, and a regular army. If you join forces with them to plot yourself, that's what the Qi Overseers mean.
At that moment, he left his subordinates at the gate, and the bicycle team occupied both sides of the gate, and led more than 20 henchmen into the gate of the county government.
After Guo Shenqian entered the county hall, he saw Deputy County Magistrate Xu at first sight, and secretly looked at Deputy County Magistrate Xu a few times, Guo Shenqian thought in his heart, "What's the matter?" Why is this guy's face so ugly today! ”
Guo Shenqian cautiously looked around with the corner of his eye, but he didn't find anything unusual in the county office. I gave a few of my confidants a look, and after they understood, they stood very tacitly between the lobby and the door without communication, just in case. Seeing that the arrangement was completed, Guo Shenqian, who was struggling, pretended to be relaxed and entered the county hall with the Cheng brothers who came to greet him at the gate of the county government.
Deputy County Magistrate Xu's face is pale now, but he knows that Zhao Yun is going to make some movement in this lobby today, but Xu Da Fat, who has never dealt with money, has not experienced this kind of "roommate" once, so he is inevitably a little nervous.
After Guo Shenqian entered the lobby, he found that there were only Deputy County Magistrate Xu and Meng Shentong in the lobby, plus the Cheng brothers and Zhou Luo around him, and there was one person missing.
Meng Shentong was slightly stunned when he saw Guo Shenqian enter the door, and guessed that today was either the White Tiger Hall or the Hongmen Banquet. immediately took out the pistol on his waist and pointed it at Deputy County Magistrate Xu and asked. "Deputy County Magistrate Xu, why hasn't today's protagonist arrived yet!"
In fact, when Meng Shentong saw Deputy County Magistrate Xu for the first time today, he knew that this big fat man Xu must have something to do today, so he was already secretly on guard.
"Huh!" It was not Deputy County Magistrate Xu who answered him, but a burst of laughter from behind the screen in the lobby, (Isn't it always like this when the big boss appears?) "Since Captain Meng has seen through it, let's start! ”
"Bang! Boom! Boom! After several rings, the red lanterns hanging under the gate of the county government and the eaves of the lobby suddenly burst open, spilling a large amount of gray mist.
"Oh no, it's lime, my eyes!" With several loud noises, someone outside the hall was immediately hit.
"Bang!" In the confusion, I don't know who fired a shot first, hitting one of Commander Meng's subordinates, which stabbed the hornet's nest.
Guo Shenqian's subordinates had seen that their regiment leader had just entered the lobby, and Meng Shentong took out his pistol, and then heard what Meng Shentong said, because the distance was too far, he didn't hear clearly, but the next gray fog magnified this misunderstanding infinitely. And after hearing the gunshots, Guo Shenqian's subordinates didn't care whether anyone was injured on their side, and immediately snorted their heads and beat Meng Shentong's subordinates.
You must know that Guo Shenqian is a bandit! How much discipline can his subordinates have, but since they can become Guo Shenqian's henchmen brought into the county government, they still have some skills under their hands, and as soon as they shoot, although they have the influence of gray fog, their marksmanship is extremely accurate, and a wave of random guns passed over and put more than a dozen of them on the other side.
