Chapter Seventy-Two: Cool
The newly sealed king of Northern Liao, His Royal Highness Dayan Jiu set up a strange plot to annihilate 400 soldiers of Western Shu on the bank of the Xishui River in one fell swoop, beheaded the enemy general Chen Chong, destroyed 200 warriors of the Eastern Wilderness Iron Sword, killed the enemy's first iron sword, captured 400 Beirong cavalry, and surrendered the news of Huang Taiji's one person to the king landing outside the city in an instant, and the people in the city took the initiative to rush to the streets and began to celebrate vigorously. Because of this battle, the annihilation of the enemy is still secondary, mainly to kill the enemy Iron Sword in the minds of the people of Dayan, which is the big place that makes them feel proud of their eyebrows.
As soon as the news spread in King's Landing, it had already reached the princes' study and the Seven Great Families. Among the princes, except for the second prince Ji Ping's gloomy silence and the eighth prince Ji Qian's anger, the rest of the princes were very calm, not happy or sad. And among the Seven Great Families, Wei Huang of the Wei clan in Shangzhou frowned when he heard the news, locked himself in the study, and sat in the study all day, and only at night did he walk out of the study with a tired face and send a secret letter to the head of the Wei family. When Bai Jin heard the news, his face was unwavering. When Li Muzhi heard the battle situation of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, he said to himself, "Long March, this kid, really has a budding day!" ”。 Prime Minister Pei Wenju's face was indifferent. Liu Pingyuan, the secretary of the military department, was playing chess with his nephew, Ji Hongchang, the third prince, and when he heard the news, Liu Pingyuan just said lightly: "Qingqing's performance today is good." He continued to play chess with his head down, so that Ji Hongchang was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. Cui Jingsheng just snorted coldly. Only Wang You's father and son, who were the most incompatible with Ji Qingchen, sat in the study and discussed for nearly two hours before Wang Wenhe left with relief.
However, even though everyone's reactions were different, everyone still set their eyes on Ji Qingchen. Because the two-day time given to him by Emperor Yan is about to expire, if he can't find Princess Dream before tonight, he can only be cut off from the prince's closed imprisonment.
Among these people, Ji Qingchen is the most concerned about Bai Zhiquan and Bai Shangwu father and son of the Lingnan Mission.
Of course, the Western Shu and Eastern Wilderness missions were also very concerned, but last night's battle, if the heart of Sima Zhao of the Western Shu and Eastern Wilderness was revealed, Emperor Yan was furious, and sent the heads of Chen Chong and four hundred soldiers of Western Shu and the Iron Sword of the Eastern Wilderness and two hundred iron sword warriors to the pavilion of the two missions, which frightened Han Peng and Zhang Mo of the two missions to the ground, and only took a breath of relief, and immediately attacked to explain to Emperor Yan, and sent an urgent message to the country's fast horse, explaining this big incident that happened in King's Landing, so as to make corresponding countermeasures.
So when the time came, everyone was surprised to see that Ji Qingchen had not yet moved, and was still cowering in the house. When I heard that the king of Northern Liao was looking for fun in the mansion, many people speculated that this might be the king of Northern Liao who knew that he was about to be demoted to a concubine, and he would have to be confined in the palace, so he wanted to enjoy it again in the last time.
Smart people naturally can't guess like this, but they can't believe it.
Because Ji Qingchen's behavior is too abnormal!
Even Emperor Yan, who was reading at night in the imperial study of Ganlu Palace and waiting for the results, heard Wei Zhongxian's statement, his face was confused, and he couldn't understand where his son was playing.
Minutes and seconds pass!
In the midst of everyone's schadenfreude, the husband rang the son's voice.
At this time, Ji Qingchen of the Northern Liao Palace, who was already wearing a moon-white python robe and wearing a wolf blade on his waist, appeared in the main hall of the palace. In addition to Guo Quan, Zhang Rang and the newly surrendered Huang Taiji in the main hall, the rest are all Bai Xiangcheng and Li Changzheng, the backbone of the Xiaocai battalion. Ji Qingchen's gaze was cold and murderous, and his cold eyes were filled with bloodthirsty greed, like a vicious wolf on the grassland who had found food.
He put his left hand on the wolf's blade, and said in a cold tone without any emotion, "Everyone, tonight we are going to close the net and arrest people. Now this king has ordered Bai Xiang City, you lead 300 Xiao cavalry battalions to give me all the dens of the Changle Gang in King's Landing City before the ugly time. ”
"No!" Bai Xiangcheng commanded.
"Li Changzheng, Liu Qingqing." Ji Qingchen ordered, "The two of you led the three hundred cavalry battalions to confiscate all the properties in King's Landing City before the ugly time, and you are not allowed to miss a place, otherwise the military law will deal with it." ”
"No!" Li Changzheng and Liu Qingqing took the order.
"The rest go with the king!" Ji Qingchen said, did not say the specific address, but left the main hall out of the Northern Liao Palace, everyone followed his steps closely, as soon as they left the palace began to act separately, Ji Qingchen led the three hundred cavalry battalion, galloped to Jiang Guifang.
In an instant, three hundred horsemen arrived at Jiang Guifang.
At this time, Jiang Kwai Fong was the time when the guests were full of guests and singing and dancing.
However, the three hundred Xiao cavalry battalion killed at the gate of Jiang Guifang, riding on a horse wearing a moon-white python robe, Ji Qingchen, who showed the demeanor of a king, did not say a word, and gave an order, two hundred wolf-like Xiao cavalry battalion soldiers rushed into Jiang Guifang, and the remaining 100 people surrounded Jiang Guifang tightly.
The people who came to Jiang Kwai Fong for recreation and entertainment were the children of the family of King's Landing, they had never seen anyone who dared to go wild in this place, they were riding on the white and tender, pink and tender beauty and lady galloping, and the shouting they heard suddenly affected their emotions, and they rushed out of Jiang Kwai Fong in a hurry, and they were about to scold, but at a glance, they saw the murderous general on the horse, so they closed their mouths, and did not forget to lick their faces and come forward to flatter Shi Li, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Nine!" ”
The rich business travelers who were still shouting loudly at the door were silenced one by one, and then looked at the bright lights, the eight seven-clawed dragon pythons embroidered with the moon-white python robe were like alive, and there were signs of broken clothes, which made the majestic Ji Qingchen add a bit of the temperament of the son of Tianlong, and they couldn't help but kneel in front of Ji Qingchen's horse, bowing their heads and not daring to look at the newly sealed King of Northern Liao.
As soon as they rushed into Jiang Kwai Fang, they showed the arrogance of bullying men and women on the streets, and it didn't take long for Jiang Kwai Fong to toss the world upside down, and no one was found, so they dragged the old bustard of Jiang Kwai Fong aside, handed a portrait of the dream princess to the old bustard, and asked viciously and fiercely, "Say it quickly, where are you hiding people?" ”
The old bustard can be described as a battle-hardened veteran, who can run a brothel in King's Landing City, what kind of arrogant kid, the soldier has never seen it, and besides, his own Jiang Kwai Fong's background is big enough, who dares to do anything to himself? But seeing a group of sons and brothers who used to smile and often ask him for girls in the red-eyed eyes, her previous momentum was gone, her confidence was gone, and she whispered tremblingly, "Several military masters, this girl doesn't know the old woman!" ”
"Smack-" Zuo Zongquan was furious, shook a crisp slap hard, and suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist, the tip of the sword was on the chest of the old bustard, and asked coldly, "You say it again?" ”
In their thinking, since His Royal Highness had already said that Princess Dream was in Jiang Kwai Fang, it must be in Jiang Kwai Fang, if they couldn't find it, it must be everyone in Jiang Kwai Fang who hid Princess Dream!
The long sword is cold!
has always been pampered, and was given enough face by a group of children of the family who eat, drank and had fun, how could the old bustard have been so desolate, and suddenly frightened and discolored, screaming in shock, looking miserable, but that is to say, he has never seen the woman in the painting.
This stumped Zuo Zongquan and others.
When they saw that the old bustard's hair was scattered, his face was pale with fright, and his whole body was trembling and embarrassed, they knew that the old woman was not lying.
But since the person is not in Jiang Kwai Fong, where is it? I can only go out to report to Ji Qingchen.
After quietly listening to the results of Zuo Zongquan's report, Ji Qingchen, who had a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, did not speak, but moved his gaze to the dark alley not far away, and said to himself, "I don't know how long you can hide?" Then he immediately retracted his gaze and said to Zuo Zongquan, "Then copy the property, seal the building, and then bring all the people to the Yamen of the King's Landing Prefect." ”
"No!" Zuo Zongquan took the order, strode into Jiang Kwai Fong, only to hear a burst of chickens flying and dogs jumping, and the 200 gentlemen who used to hang out of Jiang Kwai Fong drove out of Jiang Kwai Fong together with the ten alleys of Baiyin and more than 100 bewitching women and their prostitutes and old bustards, and rewarded the door of Jiang Kwai Fong.
Ji Qingchen didn't say a word about this group of pink, delicate women, but when he saw the ten boxes of silver, his eyes lit up, and he dared to openly embezzle in front of the public, and ordered nakedly, "The silver doesn't have to be sent to the prefect's yamen, just move to the Kunshan military camp!" ”
When Zuo Zongquan, Hou Xiaotian, Yang Zhixing and others heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and their eyebrows fluttered more excitedly than a yellow flower girl. In fact, this group of gentlemen is not short of these taels of silver, their family is solid, who does not have a million taels of silver, piled up in the treasury like a hill, but they are not used to seeing the silver copied out by themselves sent to the prefect's yamen, and they always feel very unhappy. Now when he heard Ji Qingchen's order, he tied the silver to the carriage cleanly, and began to pull it to the Kunshan military camp outside the city with a monkey look. Ji Qingchen, who watched it, was dumbfounded, wasn't he familiar with this group of gentlemen, and thought that he had encountered a group of bandits who robbed homes and houses and rebelled against food distribution!
However, the people of Jiang Guifang were escorted back to the prefect's yamen, and the silver was pulled back to the Kunshan military camp, but Princess Meng still did not find it, which made everyone lack interest, so they could only ride a horse and stand quietly beside Ji Qingchen and be silent.
After standing like this for half a pillar of incense, everyone heard Ji Qingchen's words, and they were so frightened that they almost didn't roll off the horse, so they listened to him order, "Are you cool tonight?" Do you want to play again? ”
