Chapter 354: Temptation
Zheng Yichen didn't know how he returned to the barracks, he only remembered that he had been in a mess all the way, walking and walking, until he heard the soldiers saluting him, and he realized that he had returned to the most familiar handsome tent.
"Brother, I didn't expect the Cui family to be interesting enough this time, just now Cui Changshun sent someone to say that the money and people will be sent over as soon as possible, no later than three days."
When a young man in his early twenties saw Zheng Yichen, he greeted him happily.
This person is Zheng Yichen's younger brother Zheng Yinan, since Zheng Yichen slaughtered the Zheng family and seized power, the people of the Zheng family are deferential to him on the surface, but in fact they are centrifuged, and the only one who can tell him the truth is this brother who grew up with him since childhood.
Seeing Zheng Yinan's happy face, Zheng Yichen felt even more uncomfortable, shook his head and said, "Yinan, my brother may really be wrong, I'm afraid the Cui family will turn their faces on us." ”
"What?!"
Zheng Yinan's face changed, and he exclaimed: "Haven't the money and people arrived?" Why did the eldest brother say this? ”
Zheng Yichen smiled bitterly: "The bad is bad on this, the seven thousand people and horses transferred are all from Cui Lingdong, these people are not the displaced people recruited later, but the secret power of the Cui family that has been hidden for many years, and they can be described as loyal to the Cui family, the Cui family transferred these people to me, do you know what it means?" ”
Zheng Yinan's face changed: "They are here to spy on the eldest brother?!" ”
Zheng Yichen nodded: "Not only me, but also the entire Zheng family, not only surveillance, but also cutting it off if necessary." ”
Zheng Yinan's breath stagnated: "Big brother is saying that the Cui family plans to cross the river and demolish the bridge?" ”
Zheng Yichen's face gradually turned cold and said: "I'm afraid there may not be a bridge from the beginning, he Cui Huanchen is just using me, originally I thought that as long as I did my best, after the completion of the great cause of restoring the country, there would definitely be a seat in my Zheng family, but I didn't expect the Cui family to be so xenophobic."
Look at it, in the entire Xichuan, except for me who led 3,000 men and horses, who else was in charge of the army?
Maybe it's because of the 3,000 men and horses in my hands that the old man is restless, to the point where he wants to get rid of it as soon as possible. ”
Saying that, Zheng Yichen sneered: "He killed a subordinate who had a conflict with me in front of me today, at first I thought it was his protection of me, but now that I think about it, it is clearly killing chickens and monkeys, he wants to tell me that no matter who he is, as long as he dares to be disrespectful to the Cui family, he can get rid of it casually!" ”
"The Cui family is too deceitful, if it weren't for the eldest brother's sacrifice, how could his Cui family be where it is today?!"
Zheng Yinan said indignantly.
Zheng Yichen said dejectedly: "It's too late to say this, now it's man-made swords, I'm fish, I can only blame me for believing the old man's words at the beginning, so I planted the evil consequences in front of me." ”
"It's not too late!"
Zheng Yinan shook his head, looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, suddenly approached Zheng Yichen, and said in a low voice: "My brother came to my brother today to introduce someone to my brother. ”
Zheng Yichen frowned, looked Zheng Yinan up and down, and suddenly came back to his senses and became alert.
"Who do you want to introduce me?"
Zheng Yinan smiled mysteriously: "Please wait for a while in the handsome tent." ”
With that, he turned and left.
Intuition told Zheng Yichen that this person was probably extraordinary, and the blessings and misfortunes were unpredictable, and he wanted to stop Zheng Yinan, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his mouth, and he couldn't help but be even more upset.
After a while, Zheng Yinan really led a person to the handsome tent, this person was dressed as a soldier and didn't look outstanding, but Zheng Yichen just glanced at him and jumped up like a burning butt.
"It's you, you're still alive!"
In the Governor's Mansion, Cui Lingwen, who was dressed in military uniform, jumped off the horse and threw the reins of the horse casually, and several entourages hurriedly rushed to help him lead the horse.
Cui Lingwen ignored the old servants who stood at the door to greet him, stepped into the gate angrily, and walked straight towards the backyard.
"Young Master, you've traveled so far, why don't you take a break? Young master, young master? What's wrong with you, who upset you? ”
Cui Huanchen's personal old servant hurriedly caught up with him and asked loudly.
Cui Lingwen stopped, turned his head and said with a gloomy face: "Is Xu Rui back?" ”
The old servant's face froze, and he was thinking about how to answer, when he heard Cui Lingwen roar angrily: "The whole Xichuan knows that he is back, why do you want to hide it from me?" ”
The old servant said with a bitter face: "Young master, it was the head of the family who didn't let you tell you, saying that he was afraid that you would be too impulsive." ”
"Impulsive?"
Cui Lingwen sneered: "He, Xu Rui, was able to humiliate me like this in the past, isn't it because he has the power in his hands and has soldiers behind him?" Now on the other hand, I am the one who has the right to have soldiers, and I want him to taste what I tasted at the beginning, is this also impulsive? ”
Seeing Cui Lingwen angrily, the old servant hurriedly patted him on the back and said: "A little Xu Rui, we have to clean up sooner or later, the young master doesn't know, it is said that Xu Rui came back this time with an army of 100,000." ”
"What?!"
Hearing the 100,000 army, the corners of Cui Lingwen's lips twitched, and the arrogance of Fang Cai suddenly weakened by three points.
The old servant saw that he seemed to calm down, so he wanted to persuade him again, but Cui Lingwen suddenly laughed.
"What about the 100,000 army, at the moment Xichuan is already the Xichuan of my Cui family, not to mention that there are still the left-behind generals of the Southern Dynasty here, how much wind and waves can a little Xu Rui make? I'm going to go to the grandfather to ask for someone, this time Xu Rui must not survive, and he must not die! ”
With that, Cui Lingwen took another big step and walked towards the backyard.
"Young master, the head of the family is meeting with distinguished guests, you must not trespass, young master!"
The old servant was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but Cui Lingwen didn't listen at all and still went his own way.
The old servant had no choice, gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, grabbed Cui Lingwen's wrist and grabbed him, and then leaned into his ear and whispered: "Young master, tell you the truth, the master has already figured out a way to deal with Xu Rui, and it will be clear in the next few days, Xu Rui's child is already a grasshopper after the autumn, and it won't be a few days, you can bear with it, after these few days, you can take him what you want!" ”
"Really?!"
Cui Lingwen was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "The master has already made a move?" How does he want to deal with Xu Rui? ”
The old servant shook his head with a wry smile and said, "How can such a confidential old slave know? However, the head of the family said that Xu Rui will definitely not be able to escape this time, don't you know his old man's methods, if he can be so confident, he must be ten percent sure. ”
Cui Lingwen nodded: "The master has been cautious all his life, and it will naturally not be wrong to let him take action in person, so I will endure it for two more days." Oh, by the way, what kind of distinguished guest is the grandfather seeing? ”
The old servant looked around and said in a low voice: "It's the left-behind general of the Southern Dynasty, I heard that this time they will also go all out to help us eradicate Xu Rui!" ”
Cui Lingwen's eyes lit up and he laughed: "Okay! In this way, Xu Rui has great ability and doesn't want to escape from Xichuan, hmph, this time I want him to see and understand, what is real pain! ”
Hundreds of miles away, due to the Cui family's shrinking defense line, Tianqiwei was able to carry a large number of materials and calmly shuttle around Xichuan, avoiding the huge consumption of successive vicious battles, which is undoubtedly the greatest blessing for Tianqiwei with only three or four hundred people, and all this is thanks to the shameless Cui Lingchen.
In the Apocalypse Guard, a carriage moved slowly, and Lin Shaodong and Xu Rui sat opposite each other in the carriage.
"The latest news from the outside, the remnants of the Wuling pro-army have no longer concealed their strategic intentions and have begun to retreat south, I am afraid that there is not much time left for us, and my subordinates are really worried that this time is not enough for us to solve Xichuan."
Lin Shaodong said worriedly.
Xu Rui was originally looking at the map carefully, but when he heard his words, he raised his head and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry, you can see the victory or defeat of Xichuan in a few days." ”
Lin Shaodong was stunned: "There are more than 100 counties in Xichuan, and we only have a few hundred people in our hands, although we have artillery in hand, we can't guard a county seat with one or two people, right?" How to solve it? ”
Xu Rui smiled: "You think too much, won't solving the Cui family solve Xichuan?" As for how to solve it, don't you think Ben Shuai is strategizing? ”
As he spoke, Xu Rui laughed.
I don't know why, as long as he saw Xu Rui's confident smile, Lin Shaodong felt confident in his heart.
