Chapter 262: The face is green
For the battle between Beiliao and Beirong, the news reached King's Landing City at the first time, and when the Eighth Prince Ji Qian heard the news, his face turned green all of a sudden, and he was angry and green. And at that time, he was in the queen's bedroom, and he was answering that the queen chose a princess for him, which woman of the Li family did he like? It was a eunuch who hurried up to him and told him the news. When he heard the news, the eighth prince Ji Qian couldn't stay for a moment, but he didn't dare to let the queen mother know that he had targeted Ji Qingchen in private and was attacking Ji Qingchen's power. Therefore, he could only endure it until the queen told him who he liked, and he said that he would let the queen mother decide, so he was able to get out and return to his house immediately.
"Tell me more about what's going on?" When he arrived at the mansion, he asked a secret guard beside him, trying his best to suppress his anger, but his voice still changed, becoming a little hoarse.
"Your Highness, whether it is in Beiliao or Beirong, our dead soldiers are all wiped out." The secret guard said cautiously, "There is not a single living mouth left, so I don't know what the specific battle situation is?" ”
"How do you know the results of the battle?" Ji Qian asked, now he had the urge to kill.
"The results of the battle in Beiliao are not clear, in the first battle of Beirong, all our 400 dead assassins were killed, and there were less than 200 people left in the opponent's 600 'iron clothes'." The Dark Guard whispered.
This news came from the secret agents of the Wei clan in front of him, because Shangzhou was not far from Beirong, and the Wei clan had a lot of contacts with Beirong, so an intelligence system was established in Beirong to get the news as soon as possible.
"Did you kill more than 300 'iron coats'? Useless waste! Ji Qian scolded.
When the secret guard on the side heard this, his face was a little ugly, but he didn't dare to refute, so he could only lower his head to prevent Ji Qian from seeing his expression.
Their 400 dead assassins died in battle, how can it be said that they killed nearly 400 people on the other side, which is considered to be equal, how can it be said that it is useless waste?
Besides, he also got the news that this time the "iron coat" action was followed by Beirong Governor Meng Li and Deputy Governor Zhou Shun, with these two powerful figures, it is also very good for his own side to achieve such results.
But he could only meditate on this in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it to Ji Qian, so he could only be reprimanded by Ji Qian.
"Is Cui San dead?" Ji Qian asked.
"Died in battle, we heard that Beirong is going to bury him!" The Dark Guard continued. For Cui San Beirong to be able to bury him, this made the dark guard feel a lot more comfortable. Cui San was not the most authoritative person in their Dead Assassin Battalion, but he was definitely one of the best superiors. Therefore, they were also very happy that Cui San could get such treatment.
"Isn't there any news from Beiliao?" Ji Qian is still not giving up, he thinks that the result of the first battle of Beirong will be so miserable, maybe the first battle of Beiliao can surprise him, he does not hesitate to risk being discovered by his mother, and the crown princess jointly planned this operation, he is not afraid of the loss of the dead assassins above, these people can be recruited and trained, he is afraid that this operation will not be fruitful.
"There is no news, not even their bones have been found." The guard replied.
"Does my uncle know about this matter?" Ji Qian asked.
Because it was the secret guard trained by the Cui clan who died, Ji Qian should be particularly concerned about Cui Jingsheng's attitude in this matter, if Cui Jingsheng is unhappy, it will be very unfavorable to Ji Qian. His dead soldiers have died in the previous encounters with Ji Qingchen, and the newly recruited ones are spent on training, so they will need Cui's dead assassins in the future.
"The head of the family already knows the way." The Dark Guard replied.
"Uncle, what did he say?" Ji Qian asked eagerly.
"Didn't say anything." The Dark Guard replied.
"Didn't say anything?" Ji Qian was stunned for a moment, a little unable to believe the words of the secret guard, this time he united with the crown princess, he sent out three hundred people, and now all of them are killed in battle, but his uncle didn't say anything?
"yes!" The secret guard also said puzzledly, "The head of the family really didn't say anything. ”
"Alright, you go down!" Ji Qian said.
"No!" The Dark Guard bowed and took the order and left.
But the next moment after the guard left, he heard the sound of things breaking in the study. This is Ji Qian playing with his temper, he is smashing things. Because the operation failed, the blow to him was very great. He deliberately dealt with Ji Qingchen, but Ji Qingchen just stayed in the palace, and a few henchmen destroyed themselves. Ji Qian couldn't bear this breath. However, he did not have much strength in his hands to carry out such an action, so he could only endure to vent his anger on the things in his study.
And at this moment, in Cui Jingsheng's study, Cui Jingsheng, the Taishi of Dayan and the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was sitting in front of the desk, and a middle-aged man with a straight body and a serious face stood in front of him. This middle-aged man was none other than Cui Da, the commander of the Dead Assassin Battalion. He also heard his subordinates say that the family lived in the study and waited for him before he came to see Cui Jingsheng. When he arrived at the study, he saw Cui Jingsheng closing his eyes and contemplating, so he stood here quietly and waited.
"Do you know the outcome of the battle of Beirong?" Cui Jingsheng opened his eyes and asked Cui Da.
"I already know the way of humiliation!" Cui Da replied.
"Any thoughts?" Choi asked.
"They lost this battle, and they were not surprised at all." Cui Da is not shocking, he is endless!
"For what?" Cui Jingsheng asked lightly.
"Because we are fighting deep into the enemy's hinterland, we are at a loss in terms of the right time, place and people, and the other side is still outnumbered by us, our defeat is inevitable, if we win this battle, this will surprise me." Cui Da Lang replied.
"You should know the strength of the Wei Assassin's Dead Assassin, what kind of combat power our own assassins have, and you also know very well, four hundred people against six hundred enemies, what can you analyze in this way?" Cui Jingsheng asked, this is what he really wants to know.
"If we don't count the two of Beirong Governor Meng Li and Deputy Governor Zhou Shun, we will win this battle, but we still lose. However, it can also be seen from this that the 'Iron Suit' is not as terrible as we think, and we overestimated their strength before. Cui Da pondered for a moment and replied, "If they are not in Beirong, we are also not in King's Landing, and we both go to a strange place for a decisive battle, and four hundred of them can annihilate six hundred of them." ”
"So, you can guess the strength of the 'inner factory' now?" Choi asked.
"The reason why we overestimate the combat effectiveness of the 'Iron Suit' is because every time they act, they cooperate with the 'Inner Factory', but now from the perspective of the combat effectiveness of the 'Iron Suit', the current 'Inner Factory' has developed very strongly, and now although they only have 400 people, we may need to pay double the price to solve these 400 people." Cui Da pondered for a moment before giving Cui Jingsheng's answer.
"What's your reason?" Choi asked.
"Because Zhang Rang is not Guo Quan, Guo Quanquan is brave, Zhang Rang is treacherous and cunning, just like a fox, there are many such old foxes in his 'inner factory', and the 'inner factory' is not like 'iron clothing' Because of Zhang Rang's relationship, as long as he has the strength, he dares to use anyone, so the inner factory has a large number of ruthless tasks, like the top ten offerings, like the top ten iron eagles, these people are all outlaws in the rivers and lakes, enough to fight ten enemies."
"It seems that the old man underestimated Zhang Rang!" Cui Jingsheng sighed and said, just when the "Inner Factory" was already at a disadvantage and was suppressed, he wanted to solve the "Inner Factory" and lose nearly a thousand dead assassins, which was an unbearable price for Cui Jingsheng now, because he had just lost three hundred people, and also lost a deputy commander, and his dead assassins totaled three thousand, which was an elite force of the Cui clan guarding them, and he didn't want to be consumed in the battle between Ji Qian and Ji Qingchen like this.
"If the head of the family wants to solve the 'inner factory' and do it now, try to eradicate them at the least cost." Cui Da asked for battle. He was raised by the Cui family, and this life belongs to the Cui family, as long as the Cui family says a word, he has no opinion on letting him die, let alone fighting for the Cui family? Besides, this time his dead assassin was killed in Beirong, and as the commander, he was also very unconvinced and angry, so he wanted to take revenge on the enemy.
"Don't use it for now, let's talk about it later!" Cui Jingsheng sighed and said, "The missing Dead Assassin should be replenished as soon as possible, and the integer of three thousand cannot be less." ”
This is the wealth of the Seven Great Families allowed by the Great Yan Ji Clan to have three thousand Dead Assassin Guards Clan. That's why Cui Jingsheng said so. And it is precisely because of the agreement between the Great Yan Ji clan and the Seven Great Families that the benefits are shared, and the wealth of the great families is not encroached upon. Only then can he get the support of the family and be able to rule until now, Guozhen has lasted for more than 800 years. This is a rare existence in the entire history of the dynasty.
"Humble command!" Cui Da said, hesitated for a moment, but he still spoke, "Family, Cui San's body is still in Beirong, Beirong said that he would be buried thickly, you see?" ”
"Is it Mengli?" Choi asked.
can say that a person is buried thickly, and a person with such power is only the governor Mengli in Beirong, even when Zhou Shun nods without Mengli, he does not dare to say that he will bury an enemy who killed his companion.
"Yes." Cui Da nodded slightly, he grew up with Cui San, fought together, and was like a brother, now that Cui San is dead, he is naturally very sad, but when he heard that Beirong buried Cui San, he was also a little comforted in his heart, but he was afraid that Cui Jingsheng would not agree, so he would ask this.
"Mengli's old man still knows a lot, he said that if he buries Cui San, he will definitely do what he says, since this is the case, let Cui San stay in Beirong!" Cui Jingsheng sighed.
"Thank you, master!" Cui bowed and said.
The reason why Cui Da and Cui Sanren took such names is because he trained ten people like Cui Da and Cui San since he was a child after becoming the head of the Cui family, so he gave them such names to make it easier to remember. But now, except for Cui Dahe in front of him and Cui Qi, who was still in the Assassin Camp of the Dead Soldiers, the remaining eight people had all been killed, and they died in the battle between him and his opponents, and in the secret competition with the Seven Great Families.
Now seeing Cui Da say this, he is also very emotional at this moment! waved his hand slightly to signal Cui Da to leave, and he was closed to recuperate.
Cui Da received the order and bowed down and exited the study.
