Chapter 10: Coaxing
Song Tu's cold eyes were filled with cold light, as long as he could achieve his goal, he would do whatever it took to achieve his goal.
Life is for him, but mustard!
"That's the only way, Ben Hou will do it."
Although he does not want to lose the support of the people, there is no other way at this time.
Zhou Duan assumed the posture of a corporal of the deputy Lixian, arched his hand towards Song Tu, and in his return salute, turned around and strode away.
Darkness before dawn!
In this prosperous and wealthy city of Yongzhou, there are thousands of households, and it is destined to be difficult tonight!
After Tianying left Qilin Residence, he went out of the city as fast as possible to meet Jiang Chuge.
The two discussed and decided to return to the city to meet Qin Ying.
As soon as the two entered the city, a large number of soldiers poured onto the city wall, and many officers and soldiers with torches, going from house to house to collect food and arrest strong men appeared in the streets.
The slightest disobedience to resist is the destruction of the whole door.
Jiang Chuge tried to stop it, but was stopped by Tianying: "Miss Jiang, if you go out at this time, you will definitely ruin your master's plan, and more people will die!" ”
Aquila's words, though ruthless, are true.
Jiang Chuge gritted his teeth with hatred, couldn't help but rush out, and secretly followed one of the officers and soldiers with Tianying to see what they were going to do.
Soon, they discovered that the purpose of these officers and soldiers was to gather food, as well as to capture people to make weapons and armor.
Although it was still night, it was still very fast.
When the people learned that some people had died because they had resisted the payment of food, or had been requisitioned to build weapons and armor, they did not resist, but no one was poisoned.
The streets were full of officers and soldiers, and just in case, Tianying went straight to the light skill and brought Jiang Chuge back to the post house.
At this time, the sky was about to dawn, but the two Qin Ying brothers were all sitting quietly in the study, listening to the news that Yang Hong and others sent back from time to time, with mixed joys and sorrows.
Sky Eagle took Jiang Chuge into the open window silently, Qin Ying was the first to notice, suddenly raised his head to look, his eyes quickly swept over Jiang Chuge, and saw that although she was a little embarrassed, there was no injury on her body, and she was secretly relieved in her heart.
Sky Eagle quickly told Qin Ying what the two of them had seen on the way here.
Qin Ying said that he already knew.
"Now, Zhou Duan is already a battle of trapped beasts, and all this king needs is an opportunity to kill him."
Qin Ying groaned slightly, and the Sky Eagle commanded: "You immediately sneak into the Yongzhou Marquis Mansion, find out the identity of the middle-aged man who was regarded as a guest of honor by Zhou Duan, with the honorific title of 'Sir', this person is fighting the idea of the Honglin Fire Dragon, if possible, kill him!" ”
"Yes!"
Tianying did not hesitate, quickly took the order and left, and before leaving, returned the tiger talisman that Qin Yiqi handed over to him when he met Jiang Chuge outside Yongzhou City that day.
"Jiang Chuge, after a hard night's work, don't stand, sit down."
As soon as Sky Eagle left, Qin Yiqi opened his mouth.
"Lord Xie Qi."
There are five chairs in the study, one behind the desk, and two on the left and right sides of the desk.
Qin Ying and Qin Yiqi sat on the left and right sides of the desk, respectively.
Jiang Chuge hesitated for a while, and finally sat down next to Qin Yiqi.
All along, she has always intended to keep her distance from Qin Ying.
And after Shi Wushuang said those words, he was even more resistant to Qin Ying in his heart.
Seeing that she chose to sit next to her, Qin Yiqi raised his eyebrows, and a few hints of banter flashed in his eyes when he looked at Qin Ying.
Qin Ying's already expressionless face sank more and more after coming into contact with the gaze that made him unhappy.
He glanced at Qin Yiqi fiercely.
Although Qin Yiqi is an elder brother, he has always been a little jealous of Qin Ying in his heart, seeing him like this, he didn't dare to provoke anymore, and said to Jiang Chuge with a dry laugh: "Jiang Chuge, do you think Zhou Duan will come to the post house to settle accounts with Qin Ying tomorrow morning?" ”
"Back to the prince of Qi, the minister thinks it won't."
Feeling the weirdness of the atmosphere in the study, Jiang Chuge responded in a proper manner.
"Oh? But why? ”
Seeing that Jiang Chuge was the same as what he thought, Qin Yiqi's eyes flashed a beautiful color, pretending to be puzzled.
"If he really planned to come, he would have come as soon as he knew about the accident between Zhoujiazhuang and Qilinju, but until now, he has not appeared."
Jiang Chuge felt that Qin Yiqi would not fail to think of this, but the other party was the prince after all, so she couldn't help but answer.
"Jiang Chuge, you come and go with the book."
Seeing that Jiang Chuge and Qin Yiqi were chatting non-stop, Qin Ying didn't feel good in her heart, so she got up with a rub, spit out such a sentence coldly, and turned around and went out.
"Yes!"
Jiang Chuge couldn't guess Qin Ying's thoughts, but she was now under his jurisdiction, and he asked her to go with him, and she couldn't refuse.
Yang Hong hid in the shadows, saw his prince and Jiang Chuge coming out of the house, and paid close attention to the eyeliner of Zhou Duan on the way forward, in case the news that Jiang Chuge was still in Yongzhou City leaked.
Jiang Chuge, who didn't know about this, followed Qin Ying until he entered his room.
"This king sees that you are not good-looking, so you can rest here for the time being, and recuperate, so that when this king wants to use you, you will not have enough energy."
is obviously a sentence that cares about people, but he said it tasted different.
Jiang Chuge felt that she could rest better in the study, but when she came into contact with Qin Ying's cold eyes, all the words were swallowed by her and turned into a simple "yes".
Seeing that she was obedient, Qin Ying pondered for a while, and asked the doubts in her heart: "Shi Wushuang likes you?" ”
"Huh?"
Jiang Chuge looked at Qin Ying with a confused expression, why did she ask such a strange question?
"He's always there when you need ......"
"Lord Wang, you misunderstood, I ...... with him Just friends. ”
Jiang Chuge finally understood, and hurriedly explained, as for the reason, even she didn't know.
"You can be friends with the divine doctor, Jiang Chuge, you are quite blessed."
Qin Ying spit out these words meaninglessly, turned to leave, but when he reached the door of the room, he suddenly paused, turned his back to her and said: "Since the age of fourteen, King Qi has been lingering in the flowers and not touching the leaves, causing peach blossom debts, if you don't want to get into trouble, it's best to keep your distance from him!" ”
After speaking, no matter how Jiang Chuge reacted, he walked away.
Jiang Chuge stepped forward and closed the door consciously, not thinking about Qin Ying's inexplicable words, bypassing the screen, lying on the table, sleepiness hit, and she quickly fell asleep.
These days of hard work and exhaustion are much more difficult than the autopsy in the autopsy room, Jiang Chuge is extremely sleepy and tired, and when he woke up, it was already evening.
She slowly opened her eyes, rubbed her sore neck from lying on her stomach for too long, got up and moved her shoulders, twisted her waist, poured a cup of herbal tea and drank it, then stepped behind the door, and quietly opened the door to see if there was anyone outside.
After a while, she found that there was no one, and she was about to open the door and go out, but the sound of conversation suddenly came into her ears.
It's Qin Yiqi's voice!
Could it be that she came to her?
Jiang Chuge reacted, took a few steps back, and the door was pushed open in the next moment.
Qin Ying was the first to step inside, and saw that she was awake, and there were obvious marks on the right side of her face because she had been lying on her stomach for too long.
He frowned slightly: "You slept on the table?" ”
"Hmm."
Jiang Chuge nodded, this is not an inn, she has no habit of sleeping in other people's beds, and that person is still a dignified prince.
Seeing her like this, Qin Ying's eyebrows twisted slightly, and he went straight past her and went inside, followed by Qin Yiqi and Yang Hong.
Both of them saw the marks on her face, but both pretended not to know.
The four of them sat around the table, and Qin Ying went straight to the point: "Zhou Duan originally wanted to stage a good show of the king forcing the ministers to rebel, but because the grain, grass, weapons and armor were destroyed, and the expropriation was tyrannical in the territories under his jurisdiction, which has caused public resentment and resentment, in order to prevent more people from being victimized, this king decided to take the initiative to attack......"
It has been two days since Qin Ying decided to take the initiative.
Another night is coming, and tonight is the time when all the strategies are put into practice.
Everything in the post house seems to be normal, but secretly it is a hidden murderous machine.
Four quarters of the day, the most tired time of the day for the human body.
Yang Hong's ten-member guards, in groups of two, carried out an assassination in the post house in batches, and the target of the assassination was the eyeliner that Zhou Duan sent into the post house to monitor Qin Ying.
And Qin Ying, Yang Hong, and Qin Yiqi personally took action to remove all the eyeliner outside the post house.
After that, under the cover of Qin Ying and Yang Hong, Qin Yiqi smoothly went out from the north gate of Yongzhou City and went to the Huben Camp for more than 100 miles to transfer troops.
Under the cover of darkness, everything is going on quietly.
Zhou Duan, who was trying his best to raise armaments, did not know that he was in a desperate situation at this time!
After Qin Yiqi left the city, he performed light skills and swept towards the direction of the Tiger Ben camp.
After daybreak, he found a horse market, bought a Mongolian horse of pure blood, put it on the saddle, and whipped away......
When Qin Yiqi galloped towards the tiger, Qin Ying began to face Zhou Duan head-on.
The news of King Yi's investigation in Yongzhou has already spread all over the streets and alleys of Yongzhou City, and the rampant expropriation and slaughter of the people in the past few days have already caused a riot among some bloody people.
Qin Ying sent several guards disguised as suffering civilians to stir up the crowd.
In less than an hour, a large number of people flocked to the outside of the post house, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, begging King Yi to uphold justice.
Since ancient times, those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, and the people's will is the same, so Qin Ying took a break from the Taoguang and obscure plan, and went to the Yongzhou Hou Mansion in accordance with the people's wishes.
Because the ten-man guard was hidden on the periphery of the Hou Mansion, intercepting and killing all those who intended to report to Zhou Duan, when Zhou Duan learned the news, Qin Ying had already arrived outside the gate of the Hou Mansion.
Zhou Duan was shocked, and hurriedly called someone to find Song Tu to discuss countermeasures, but was told that Song Tu was missing!
So, he ordered Xu Hu to go and dispatch troops, and he went outside the mansion to deal with Qin Ying.
Outside the gate of the Hou Mansion, which was solemn and solemn, and no one dared to stay, was crowded with resentful people at this time.
Seeing Zhou Duan come out, some people even shouted at him to kill, but after Qin Ying raised his hand to stop him, his voice gradually became quieter.
"Marquis Zhou, this king heard that you were tyrannical in the fiefdom, slaughtered the people, and caused resentment among the people, so he came to picket to determine if there was really such a thing?"
"Lord Wang, Yongzhou is the fief of the Marquis, how many times a year to pay grain, how much is the amount, how many people are requisitioned, and other small things, it seems that the prince doesn't need to bother, right?"
Zhou Duan's attitude was arrogant, and he didn't take Qin Ying into account at all.
"Definitely! You do have the right to set your own fiefdom taxes, but this is limited to a small extent affecting the daily life of the people, and now you have not only forcibly collected grain as a tax, but also arrested the people and made weapons, and this king has enough reason to suspect that you have treasonous intentions, and before the matter is investigated, this king must put you in prison! ”
After Qin Ying finished speaking, he waved his big hand, and Yang Hong behind him stepped forward with shackles, wanting to restrain Zhou Duan's hands and feet.
However, just as he was about to come into contact with Zhou Duan, Zhou Duan suddenly opened him with a palm.
Fortunately, Yang Hong had already taken precautions, otherwise he would have been injured!
"Lord Wang, since you are bent on condemning Ben Hou to death, Ben Hou can only have to rebel!"
While Zhou Duan waved Yang Hong away, his hand was clenched into a claw and attacked towards Qin Ying with a fierce momentum.
Qin Ying stood in place, looking coldly at his arrogant and disgusting face, his eyes were filled with a dense and cold killing intent!
Seeing that Qin Ying didn't take any action, he just stood in place so fixedly, and even the guards around him didn't show the slightest nervousness, and Zhou Duan's heart suddenly became alarmed.
Just when he was in crisis, Qin Ying suddenly moved!
His skills are far above Zhou Duan, and Zhou Duan didn't even see how he acted, he only felt a flower in front of him.
