Chapter Thirty-Nine: Jiang Lou
After Wang Lin finished saying these scenes, he glanced at Hou Cong, who had been silent, because the person who had the final say was not Mo Chang after all.
"Please ask General Wang to lead the way." After Hou Cong finished speaking, he personally helped Mo Chang into the carriage, and he and Murong Xing rode a horse to open the way beside Wang Lin, and when they turned around, they saw Bai Yi and Changkong guarding the carriage, Wei Yao drove the horse with a cautious face, and Dugu Zheng, Yuan You, Fluorescence and other people took the soldiers and horses in turn, extending to the road outside the city gate.
The atmosphere of Dew City is completely different from the scenery along the way. It stands to reason that this is the border city of Chengguo and the country, but I only saw that the houses were arranged strictly, looking more like a military camp than a private house, and I had never seen a lively business exchange, but I could hear the waves crashing on the shore, which may be the river.
Through half of the city, Wang Lin led everyone to a place, the six-story red wall and golden tile, the plaque in front of the gate said "Linjiang Building", Hou Cong dismounted first, and Bai Yi helped Mo Chang get off the carriage left and right. Then followed Wang Lin upstairs, which was clearly a state of vigilance on the surface. Wang Lin only pretended to turn a blind eye. Walking to the fourth floor, you can already overlook the entire city and the river facing the waves in the south.
At the riverside ferry, a big boat stopped there. Wang Lin looked at Bai Yi and spoke this time, "Has the girl ever been on a boat?" ”
"Sat once."
"The river is wide and wide, the wind and waves are uncertain, if you sit on it, you are not afraid. Since receiving the emperor's will, our ministry has been ordered to build ships, and yesterday it was just completed and launched, and today His Royal Highness has arrived. ”
Mo Chang retracted his gaze and continued to go upstairs first, Bai Yi didn't say anything, and walked up close to Mo Chang. The banquet was placed on the top floor, and at the top of the large row of tables, there was a single case, because Mo Chang, as a prince, could not eat at the same table with other people. On the big row table, except for Hou Cong who accompanied him, the other guests were all on Wang Lin's side, Bai Yi and Changkong were just standing in the back, while Murong Xing and the others were guarding the door, stairs and the next floor, corresponding to Wang Lin's soldiers one by one.
The dishes were all served, and Wang Lin's personal soldiers tried the silver needles one by one, presented them to Mo Chang on the case, and passed them to Hou Cong. After getting the approval of these two people, the silver needle was taken away, and Wang Lin also picked up the wine glass, "At the end of today, the general will lead his subordinates to welcome His Royal Highness King Yangxian and General Wuwei. ”
Mo Chang and Hou Cong both drank wine, and in the candlelight, the prince's white dragon robe emitted a faint light. Mo Chang looked back at the white clothes, "Did the girl bring it there?" ”
"If you go back to Your Highness, take it with you."
The white clothes presented a long brocade box.
Mo Chang held the brocade box in one hand and sprinkled it indifferently, "The road is far away, it is inevitable that it is simple, this thing talks about the heart,"
Wang Lin stepped forward and wanted to take it, but it was Bai Yi who took the brocade box back at the last moment, opened it, and it was a painting scroll.
Bai Yi didn't make the slightest big move, and gently unfolded the painting scroll.
It is Fang Mei's painting of "The Dragon Yin Everywhere Moonshines on Flowers".
The two generals on the left and the right around Wang Lin were shocked when they saw the painting, and when they drew their swords and were about to rise, the painting in the hand of the white-clothed general was only slightly raised.
The painting floated up in the air for only a zhang, the white clothes slanted to the left, and then to the right, no one could see what was going on, the necks of the two generals were cut open by the short sword, and they fell to the ground and died, and the white clothes returned to their original positions, just re-catching the painting that had fallen, as if nothing had happened, maintaining the same movement, and even the hand of the painting did not change the slightest.
Wang Lin and his other generals pressed their hands on their swords, but they did not dare to act rashly.
The slight sound of metal rubbing was a fog net formed by countless sword drawing movements - downstairs in Linjiang, the soldiers and horses assembled by Wang Lin as a border general had already walked out of the hidden place and surrounded the floor.
Although Bai Yi has such skills, it is difficult to defeat the enemy of thousands of people, and if people charge on horseback, dozens of people may have a chance to break through the layers of encirclement. However, being in the building is a trap.
For Wang Lin, the only disadvantage is that he is too close to Baiyi.
He had fought in the end and seen the world, so he asked Mo Chang with a smile, "What does Your Highness mean by this?" ”
Mo Chang didn't answer, Hou Cong stood up and stood beside Bai Yi, "You dare to question Your Highness?" Even the emperor has to treat His Royal Highness politely, what kind of thing are you? In Linjiang Tower, as the emperor's general, you are sending the prince of Chengguo back on behalf of the emperor, and your generals are not honest, and they actually draw their swords, is they going to rebel? ”
"Not really." Wang Lin also stood up, calculating the certainty that he could escape the first blow of the white clothes: "The painting in Miss Yuwen's hand is a masterpiece of the prince, and the last general has been fortunate to receive it. My men have watched it and circulated it. Therefore, when I saw a similar work, I was just amazed. ”
Hou Cong smiled, "Isn't it?" There are also prophecies in the paintings, and some have come true. You will be more convinced, and you will be willing to be a cow or a horse, if he asks you to kill us, you are ready to do it. ”
Wang Lin also smiled, "With the skills of General Xiaohou and Miss Yuwen, how sure do you think you are to rush out from thousands of troops?" ”
Hou Cong's laughter deepened: "With General Wang's control of his subordinates, if they know that it was King Hui and not the crown prince who gave the order to let you kill, how many more of them listen to you?" How sure are you? ”
I don't know if it's the river wind or the river waves, it seems that there is a commotion.
Dugu Zheng and Yuan Youyou had already filled up a pass downstairs in Linjiang, ready to put on bamboo ears that were several times bigger, but I didn't expect this work, Wang Lin had already done it, it seems that it has been decided to let all the soldiers hear the movement upstairs, so as to act at the opportunity.
In the murderous quiet night, the conversation on the sixth floor was tantamount to a thunderclap on the ground to the officers and soldiers who were waiting for an order to fight, and naturally exploded into discussions.
Mo Chang laughed a few times, and seemed to think it was very funny, "There is a country in the north called Rakshasa, which is said to produce a kind of thing called a nesting doll, and there are small dolls in the big dolls, which are layered in, which is confusing." Today, on the riverside building, has it also become such a situation? General Xiaohou was ordered by the emperor to protect me to the south, but General Wang's subordinates thought that they were on the order of the prince and killed an entire group of us for the sake of the country's fortunes. Who knows, General Wang is actually acting on the orders of King Hui. If I die in Jiangbei, Chengguo will declare war on your country, and the prince will become a troublemaker. If the crown prince is deposed, those of you who have obeyed the prince's orders will not die well. When the time comes, no matter what day they die, everyone will drink together in Huangquan and wish His Royal Highness King Hui peace from afar, wouldn't it be happy? ”
Mo Chang's words never sparked any discussion again, because everyone was waiting to hear Wang Lin's response.
Wang Lin's voice was cold and firm, "It's the crown prince and King Hui, what's the difference?" We have been instructed not to let any of your party come near the river. Although these two died under the sword of Miss Yuwen, there were others, each of whom had relatives and relatives in their hometowns thousands of miles away, and lived under the control of the above. As a soldier, he had no choice but to obey his fate. ”
This is not so much for the people in the building as it is for the people outside the building.
Wang Lin followed King Hui with all his heart, and most of his subordinates thought that they were following the crown prince, the future emperor, and when he ascended the throne, even if the team was successful. How can King Hui have so much power to control everyone's family, but Wang Lin can-most of the low-level officers and soldiers are in this city, at this moment, you can't tell which people are Wang Lin's cronies, which people are not, which people are here, and which people are not at the scene, if you are not obedient, I don't know if the family members who are praying under the lights across a few streets to hurry over tonight will have an accident immediately.
As soon as Wang Lin's words fell, his subordinates who were still on the sixth floor pushed open the windows around him.
The waves of the river are surging, the wind of the river is swaying, and the night of the dew city, and the murderous aura of the whole city with the armor of the soldiers, all at once, surged up.
In the distance, I also seemed to hear a baby's cry, like the only dim light in the thick fog, a star of fireworks in the plot of life and death.
Mo Chang's mood seemed to be very good, and he even reasoned with interest, "I think, after you do it, after killing all of us regardless of national borders, we can only support our troops and respect ourselves, relying on the geographical location of Dew City, waiting for the emperor's decision, waiting for King Hui to be the crown prince." But what if that doesn't happen? ”
Wang Lin moved slightly, "There is no need to delay any longer, my heart has been decided." ”
"Don't worry," it was Hou Cong who spoke this time, "and ask General Wang to go to the window and take a look at the scenery." A real nesting doll is even more fun than you think. ”
Wang Lin was actually trying to go to the window. Because he had heard of Baiyi's name, but he didn't expect her to be so powerful. After seeing her kill people, she had long thought about finding a way out to save her life, and she was taking the lives of these people.
But when he got to the window, he panicked.
