Chapter 177: Far worse than the Taiping Army
"Wang Hu, didn't you say to drink, what do you want to do!"
Lord Ixiang became alert, took a few steps back, and pressed his right hand to his waist, intentionally or unintentionally, ready to draw the knife at any time.
"Don't worry, the villain is really going to take you to drink." Wang Hu's face was still flattering and humble, as usual, but he always felt a little weird in the eyes of Lord Yixiang: "It's just that I went to a place that Lord Xiang hadn't been to on weekdays." ”
"Where do you want to go?"
Lord Ika was not fooled, and while secretly peeking around, he prepared to turn around and return to the camp reads();. Although he didn't think that Wang Hu would dare to mess around, after all, there were 30,000 imperial troops outside the city, and the shape inside the city was also very unstable, so he couldn't say what would happen. The previous bit of alcohol had been dispelled by Wang Hu's abnormal movements.
Seeing that Lord Yixiang was wary and wary of himself, Wang Hu sighed, his waist straightened, and the flattery on his face was gone, and said, "Lin Mansion!" ”
Going to Lin's house for a drink?
Lord Yixiang's first reaction was that the other party thought that he had lived too long, after all, not long ago, the Good Friends Association had a bloody fight with the Lin family, and there were seven or eight hundred dead and wounded on both sides. But then Lord Ika understood something, and couldn't help but be shocked.
"You are from the Lin family!"
He took a few steps back, pulled out his knife with a bang, and was ready to make a move on Wang Hu.
"Lord Yixiang doesn't need to be so nervous, it's just you and me here."
Wang Hu spread his hands and signaled that he did not have a weapon.
This action made Lord Yixiang feel a little more at ease. He looked around again to confirm that there was no ambush nearby, and then he took a breath and said, "You colluded with the family, and you dared to take the initiative to identify yourself, and you wanted to take me to the Lin family, what are your intentions?" ”
Wang Hu smiled faintly and said, "Why are the words used by the incense lord so ugly, it's not because of any intentions, but because I want to show the incense lord a clear way." After all, the incense lord has always taken care of Wang Hu, and he can't bear to see the incense lord in calamity. ”
"Alarmist!"
Lord Yixiang snorted, feeling that Wang Hu was deliberately exaggerating to scare himself.
"Lord Ixiang doesn't believe it?" Wang Hu shook his head and deliberately said: "A leaf is blind, I don't see Mount Tai, it's sad!" ”
He sighed again and again, and stomped his feet to leave.
The pro-soldiers simply wanted to leave, but Lord Yixiang was not steady. His body shook twice, but in the end he couldn't hold back, opened his mouth to stop the other party, and asked, "To make it clear, where is the catastrophe coming?" ”
was stopped by Lord Yixiang, and Wang Hu knew that his business was done.
He turned around unhurriedly and said to Lord Ixiang: "The most elite city guard divisions of the empire have already surrounded Wu'an. A full 26,000 elites, the strongest army in the Eastern Continent! In such a desperate situation, Lord Ixiang still had faith in the Good Friends Society, and stayed on this shipwreck and refused to come. ”
City Guards?
Like a thunderclap exploding in his ears, Lord Ixiang was stunned for a moment, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground. It took a long time to recover from the shock and said to Wang Hu: "Where are the city guards?" Aren't the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers outside fighting the banner of the Qinghe River? Both Lord Wang and Elder Xiang Hua have said it! ”
"You believed what they said? What if the king himself was deceived? ”
Wang Hu showed a sarcastic expression, making Lord Yixiang feel like falling into an ice cave.
"But ......"
The prestige of the City Guard Legion and the Praetorian Guard Legion plunged Lord Ika into confusion, and he was at a loss for a while.
"Why don't you come with me? If you are worried that the Lin family will take the opportunity to be unfavorable to you, Wang Hu can only say that there is no need. Whether it succeeds or not, you will be sent out in the end! ”
"After all, the Lord of the Association has been gracious to me......
Lord Ika is still a little hesitant reads();.
But what he was really worried about was that Shanyou would kill so many people in the Lin family, was the other party's guarantee reliable?
"The Lord of the King will be kind to the Lord of the Incense, but the Lord of the Incense has also done things for him for so many years, and no one owes anyone. What's more, the ship of the Good Friends Association is about to sink, and those who stay on it and don't leave will all be buried with it in the end. The incense master has great skills, doesn't he want to seek a more glorious future? With the reputation of the Lin family for three hundred years, how could they deceive the incense master in such a trivial matter? ”
The temptation in Wang Hu's words, as well as the desire to be promoted and make a fortune, moved Lord Yixiang.
Seeing that the other party's face seemed to be tempted, he was silent, and Wang Hu knew that the other party agreed. stepped forward to grab the other party, helped him put away the knife, avoided the avenue inspected by the Good Friends Association, and dragged Lord Yixiang to the back door of the Lin Mansion.
A team of generals had already answered here, confirmed their identities, and brought Lord Ixiang into the door.
The pomp and luxury of a century-old family are far from what a wealthy family in a small place can imagine. The pavilions and pavilions are bent and the water is brilliant...... All kinds of luxury and beauty that Lord Yixiang had never dreamed of made him consciously rise in awe and inferiority, and his steps were much lighter, and he followed behind the Lin family generals step by step. After going around for more than ten minutes, Lord Yixiang was a little dizzy, and he was led into a side hall.
It is said to be a side hall, and its area and decoration are far more exquisite than those aristocratic families that Lord Ixiang has seen in Longshan.
antique red pine tables and chairs, delicately carved flower and bird patterns, exquisite tall cabinets and antique porcelain; There are even musicians with drums and drums, and the beautiful maid who looks like a flower chuckles and walks from the side and helps him to the seat, which is secretly fragrant and refreshing; On the banquet, the majestic nobles of the family are at the top, and their eyes are like electricity, making it difficult for people to look up and visualize their heroic posture.
Lord Yixiang was so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe, his mind was blank, and he couldn't even hear what the maid next to him was saying, so he just stared blankly at the cups, plates, chopsticks, and dishes and wine in front of him, lest he make some jokes.
"Brother Yi, are you here too?"
was smashed twice with his arm, and Lord Yixiang was in pain, so he barely recovered from the prestige of the family and secretly glanced at the person next to him. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, this look startled him.
It turned out to be a banner master of the Fuhu Battalion who was in charge of guarding the West Gate!
Although his status in the Good Friends Association is average, the other party is in charge of hundreds of people after all, and it can directly affect the safety of Ximen!
Lord Yixiang originally thought that the Lin family had only found him, but when he saw that this person was also called, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he hadn't rejected Wang Hu before. As far as the eye can see, there are two or three middle-level members of the Good Friends Association on the small table. In terms of status, he is considered a high incense master, but these people more or less hold military power and have the ability to influence the defense of Wu'an City.
If so many people were bought by the Lin family, they would launch a ...... together
Lord Ixiang's heart almost set off a stormy wave, and cold sweat flowed down.
The Lin family's ability is really terrifying!
"What are you thinking?"
Just as he was secretly sighing, a delicate sound suddenly sounded in his ears, and then two fragrant winds rushed from behind, and ********-like arms wrapped around him left and right. Before Lord Ika could react, two maids dressed in a thin gauze and a seductive spring color squeezed around him. A woman's green fingers pinched a longan grape and brought it to his mouth shyly; Seeing this, the other maid suddenly became angry, poured wine, and was also not to be outdone, and sent it to her lips.
This gentle battle, the dark incense attacked, and in an instant, the Lord of Ixiang was lost.
As the incense master of the Good Friends Association, he has seen a few women in the world, and it is still difficult to resist. The banner master of the Fuhu Camp next to him was even more unbearable, a few glasses of white wine belly, and the vigilance before entering the Lin Mansion had already been thrown out of the clouds. impatiently took the maid into his arms and put his hand on him, making the other party coquettish, and even ignoring the most basic etiquette.
"A few good men of the Good Friends Association, are you satisfied with my Lin family's hospitality?"
Looking at this scene, Lin Yunwu, the second son who is good at this, laughed, with a kind smile on his face that is common to the sons of the family, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
"Satisfied, satisfied!"
"Lin Mansion is really hospitable!"
Someone shouted vaguely, while reaching out to bring a plate of yellow croaker with soup to him, eating a mouth full of oil - fresh big yellow croaker, in the vicinity of Wu'an is extremely rare, this plate of materials alone costs 100 gold, and money may not be able to buy it.
Looking at the unbearable sight in the hall, as well as the laughter and coquettishness of the maids, Lin Yunwu's eyes flashed with deep disdain and disdain, and he took the wine glass and drank it all.
After putting on a false smile again, he exclaimed, "Everyone, come on, drink this cup full!" ”
………
In the corner of the lively side hall, someone peeked secretly behind the pearl curtain.
Seeing the scene at the table, the leading governor Qian Boming sneered, and said: "This governor was thinking about whether to give them the position of wing captain. Now it seems, hehe! ”
It doesn't need to be that much trouble at all.
"Co-Captain? Just them, too? ”
Kang He, who was a defeated soldier, shook his head, feeling annoyed and puzzled in his heart, he would be defeated by such a group of people!
"After all, it's a group of people who don't have much knowledge, and it's the limit to be able to do this." From the moment he learned that the city guards were coming to the city not long ago, Lin Yunwen knew that the overall situation had been decided, and the Lin family should be fine. After letting go of the burden and self-blame in his heart, he reverted back to his original chic posture, and said with a smile that made the girl intoxicated: "Isn't the rebellion in the empire like this in the past few years? Compared with the Taiping Army, these people are far behind! ”
"Taiping Army!"
Hearing Lin Yunwen mention this name that made him suffer humiliation, Kang He gritted his teeth, his heart was extremely hateful, and he said indignantly: "This gang of traitors, the news is really well-informed. It must have been learned that the imperial army had arrived, so he went to the east. ”
"Where can you go east?"
Lin Yunwen shook his head, obviously disagreeing.
The Lin family had already discussed this issue, but in the end there was no solution. However, he believed that with Chen Wu's methods, he must have his own plans, and it was by no means what it seemed on the surface.
"That's right!"
As if thinking of something, Lin Yunwen took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Qian Boming: "This is a secret letter found by my Lin family's spies in Chen Wu's temporary residence after the Taiping Army marched eastward. Xu was accidentally missed when they evacuated in a hurry. ”
The Taiping Army, there are even the same party!
