Chapter 514: "Loyal Minister" Hu Qing

Hu Qing took on an important role in the task of rescuing Li Liangzuo, he led a team of nearly 100 people to be responsible for picking up Zhang Wei on the other side of the forest, and the exit of the secret passage in the post well was also there, and after Zhang Wei rescued Li Liangzuo from the secret passage, he would escape on a fast horse in the caravan, and the team led by Hu Qing would also be responsible for breaking the rear, and scattering and escaping so that the Song army could not distinguish which team was escorting Li Liangzuo, it can be said that the relationship was heavy, but unfortunately Zhang Wei saw the wrong person, The whole plan failed at the beginning.

Speaking of Hu Qing's life is really big, he led nearly 100 people are all die-hard loyalists of Western Xia, after finding that they were surrounded by the Song army, these people not only did not surrender, but also fought to the death, as a result, almost all of them died, only a few people were captured, among which Hu Qing also wanted to die for the loyalty of Western Xia, but unfortunately he was old and frail, and he couldn't even hold a knife, and finally was captured by an ordinary Song army and became one of the few survivors.

When Zhao Yan took Huang Wude to the outside of the forest, he happened to see the dejected Hu Qing and others being escorted over, and the other captives were all wounded, but Hu Qing was intact, but at this time he was also a wolf, and his body and face were full of mud, but even so, Hu Qing still straightened his waist, as if he was a generous and righteous man.

"Hu Qing, or it would be more appropriate to call you Wu Hao, right?" I saw Zhao Yan come to Hu Qing and said with a smile on his face.

"I didn't expect the county king to already know the identity of the old man, could it be that Zhang Wei recruited all the qiē?" Hu Qing heard Zhao Yan's words reveal his identity, but at the moment he made a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, and even when he mentioned Zhang Wei, he still showed a disdainful expression on his face, because his identity was only known to Zhang Wei, so he wanted to come. It must have been Zhang Wei who confessed himself in order to survive after being arrested, which made him a little contemptuous of Zhang Wei, and even more ashamed of his old friend Zhang Yuan for having such a son.

Seeing the expression on Hu Qing's face, Zhao Yan and Huang Wude also guessed what each other was thinking, and the two couldn't help but glance at each other with strange expressions at the moment, and then laughed. After a while, Zhao Yan deliberately smiled and said: "Hu Qing, I heard that you have always regarded yourself as a loyal minister of Western Xia, but why have you not been reused, could it be that the emperor of Western Xia looks down on you?" ”

"Hmph, Emperor Wulie has the grace of knowing his subordinates, and the old man has long been determined to repay the country with death, so you little tricks to sow discord don't need to be played!" Hu Qing was very disdainful of Zhao Yan's words, don't look at him as a Han, but he is more loyal to Western Xia than most party members. Therefore, Zhao Yan's words did not work for him at all.

Seeing this Hu Qing looking like a loyal minister of Western Xia, Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and just wanted to mock a few words, but then he saw Huang Wude and said with a smile: "Hu Qing, you have lived such a long time in vain, but you are still a fool, but I hope that the more loyal ministers like you in Western Xia, the better, so that it will be much easier for us to attack Western Xia before!" ”

"What do you mean?" Hu Qing heard that Huang Wude had something to say. He asked loudly with a pair of cloudy old eyes.

"Lao Huang means that you are not enough to succeed and more than to lose, if the Western Xia Manchu Dynasty is a loyal minister like you. I'm afraid that our Great Song Dynasty doesn't need to mobilize troops to attack the Western Xia, because such a Western Xia will have no threat to our Great Song Dynasty! Zhao Yan also understood what Huang Wude meant at this time, and continued at the moment.

"You...... How dare you despise the old man! I...... I ......" Zhao Yan and Huang Wude's words finally stimulated Hu Qing's nerves, although he had no ambition in Western Xia, he had always been very conceited, thinking that his talent was not under his friend Zhang Yuan. It's just that his luck is not good, so he didn't make any achievements, this time Xixia was destroyed, Li Liangzuo was arrested, but Hu Qing was secretly happy in his heart. Because he thinks that this is an opportunity given to him by God, and even in the past few days, he has been dreaming of rescuing Li Liangzuo, and assisting him to restore the country and become the master of a generation of Zhongxing, but now Zhao Yan and the others say that he has not succeeded enough and has more than failed, which makes Lao Hu Qing can't help but tremble all over his body, and he can't even speak, fortunately he doesn't have a heart attack, otherwise he would have had a seizure on the spot.

"Hu Qing, don't be in a hurry to get angry first, let me ask you, do you know why we saw through your plan?" Zhao Yan asked with a smile. Originally, seeing that the other party was an old man, he didn't want to embarrass Hu Qing too much, but this Hu Qing not only became a traitor, but also did it rightly, which made him angry, so he was ready to fight this old traitor.

"Oh, the county king, are you going to show off your talents to my defeated general?" Hu Qing was also out of the way at this time, anyway, he had already made plans to be loyal to Western Xia.

Seeing Hu Qing's attitude, Zhao Yan was also angry, but in the end, he stopped his anger and sneered: "Hu Qing, don't think too much about yourself, but this time I want to thank you, if you hadn't revealed your flaws yesterday, I'm afraid I wouldn't have doubted you, and maybe maybe I would really let Zhang Wei save Li Liangzuo!" ”

"You...... What do you mean? This...... That's impossible! Hu Qing heard Zhao Yan say that it was because he had revealed a flaw that he had led the failure of the entire rescue plan, which made him, who had always been conceited, unable to accept it at all.

"Haha~, what's impossible about this, the businessman you played yesterday was too much of a failure, although you deliberately pretended not to know the king, and you also thought you were smart and mistook me for a general, but you forgot one thing, that is, you are too calm, not only is you not afraid to see me, but you are also talking eloquently, this is not like the appearance that an ordinary businessman should have." Zhao Yan finally seized the opportunity to ridicule at this time, and there was no need to leave any affection for people like Hu Qing.

"What the county king said is that the old slave also felt that you were a businessman very wrong yesterday, and after going back, he discussed with the county king, and made some arrangements, but at night, Zhang Wei really plunged into the net we arranged, but the iron bar Li you found was really powerful, and he opened all the locks in the cage in such a short time, this is a rare talent." Huang Wude also laughed at this time and sneered at Hu Qing.

"This ...... That's impossible...... It is impossible to ......" Hu Qing heard Zhao Yan and Huang Wude's ridicule one after another, and his whole spirit collapsed, and a pair of old eyes widened, repeating the word "impossible" all the time. In fact, it's no wonder that he reacted so violently, after all, Zhao Yan and Huang Wude's words not only knocked off his pride, but also blamed him for the last bit of hope for the restoration of the Western Xia, which made Hu Qing, who had always regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Western Xia, really unacceptable.

"Hold it down and lock it up with that Zhang Wei, be careful not to let them fight!" Seeing that Hu Qing had already suffered such a huge blow, Zhao Yan didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, and waved his hand to send him to the post station to be imprisoned.

Next, Zhao Yan and Huang Wude went to Hu Qing's previous camp to take a look, and found that there were dead corpses everywhere, most of which were Hu Qing's subordinates, but there were also a small number of Great Song soldiers who died in battle, and now the people who cleaned the battlefield are picking out the corpses of the Great Song Dynasty soldiers, and then they will hold a funeral on the spot, as for Hu Qing's men, they were directly thrown into the forest to feed the beasts.

"King of the county, this is the tent where Hu Qing lives, there is a tunnel below, which can lead directly to the well of the post station, at that time, Zhang Wei just wanted to understand the tunnel of guò and escaped from the post station with Li Liangzuo on his back." When Zhao Yan came to an inconspicuous small tent, Huang Wude pointed to it and introduced.

Zhao Yan was also very interested when he heard this, and immediately stepped into the tent, only to see a big box in the corner of the tent against the east, and next to the box was a big hole, and there was a square indentation around the hole, which just coincided with the bottom of the box, and it seemed that this big box was pressed on the hole before.

I saw Zhao Yan walk to the entrance of the cave and look down, and found that the soil around the entrance of the cave was still very new, and it seemed that it should have been dug recently, which made Zhao Yan can't help but say to himself: "Zhang Wei, these people are really willing to work hard to save Li Liangzuo, digging such a long tunnel in such a cold weather, this amount of work is not small!" ”

As soon as Zhao Yan's words fell, he heard Huang Wude next to him suddenly pat the big box next to him and said, "Zhang Wei, those preparations are far more than that, what do you guess is in this box?" ”

"Oh? What is it? Zhao Yan also looked at Huang Wude very curiously.

"Hehe, this is a whole box of copper coins, if we send someone to search their camp, and enter this tent to prepare to move this box, Hu Qing will deliberately pounce on it and not let people move, the searching soldiers will definitely open the box, and the result will be found These copper coins, then Hu Qing will use these copper coins to bribe the other party, I am afraid that those who search will pay attention to all the copper coins in the box, where is there any effort to pay attention to what is under the box? What's more, the weight of this box of copper coins is not light, and there are not more than a dozen people who can't lift it at all, and even if the box is lifted, the hole below is covered with wooden planks and floating soil, and it can't be seen without careful search. Huang Wude said and reached out to open the box, and sure enough, he revealed a box full of copper coins.

"It's so calculating, our soldiers are not saints, I'm afraid most people will be fooled by this!" Zhao Yan also sighed when he heard this, the soldiers in the army are not only not saints, they are simply a group of wolves who see wealth, but this is also a helpless thing, I hope that after the army students enter the army in large numbers in the future, they can change these bad habits of the army.
