Changsha Prefecture Pastoral Mansion.

Han Xuan was lying on the chair in all directions, covered with a thin layer of silk, two delicate maids were on the left and right, gently massaging and relaxing for him, and another maid was kneeling on the side, holding the fruit, peeling it constantly, and carefully putting the tender flesh of the fruit into Han Xuan's mouth. Not far from the lower seat, there are seven or eight beautiful singers and dancers who are constantly playing under the musicians, and the lotus steps are graceful and graceful. Han Xuan squinted his eyes lightly, his head kept shaking, looking at his enjoyment, as if he had forgotten all about the defeat in the morning.

Not so, the luxury in the state governor's mansion, the beams and pillars made of ancient sandalwood nanmu, carved with lifelike flying dragons; Precious and valuable utensils are everywhere in the room; There is also a screen about nine feet wide and six feet high on the side, on which the grass is green and the flowers are red, and the style of Xiangxi is on the paper. The degree of luxury is not even comparable to Zhang Lang's Moling Mansion.

While Han Xuan was enjoying himself, the steward of the State Pastoral Mansion hurriedly came.

He attached it to the root of Han Xuan's ear and said softly, "My lord, Yang Ling is back." ”

Han Xuan suddenly opened his cloudy eyes, and his small eyes were full of surprise: "Why did he come back, wasn't he arrested in Ancheng?" ”

The steward smiled: "This is all thanks to Yang Ling's cleverness, he took advantage of Zhang Jun's negligence in management and took the opportunity to run out." ”

Han Xuan clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, it's rare that I value him so much, and Yang Ling is also clever enough." ”

Compared with Han Xuan's scheming, the steward was a little worried, and he wondered, "Could this be Zhang Lang's trick?" This person is good at intrigue and trickery, so he must be guarded against. I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what if. ”

When Han Xuan said this to the steward, he was a little uncertain, and he couldn't hold the chess in his heart, so he muttered, "It makes sense." Otherwise, we will kill him directly, and save a scourge when the time comes. ”

The steward's heart tightened, although Yang Ling was not a peerless general, but at least he had followed Han Xuan for many years, and he had also made a lot of military exploits, and now, the words that came out of his mouth were so ruthless and unrighteous that he couldn't help but feel cold down his spine, but this steward didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "Why should the general be so worried, just let him come to see you?" As long as we interrogate it carefully, if there is really fraud in it, it will inevitably leak out. It's not too late to make a decision. ”

Han Xuan nodded again and again: "It makes sense, it makes sense, you go and bring Yang Ling up to see me." And while you are waiting, you will be at my side and carefully observe him to see if there is anything wrong with him. ”

The steward smiled flatteringly in a low voice: "Lord, it is better to arrange twenty sword and axe hands on the left and right sides to suppress people with momentum, if Yang Ling has a ghost in his heart, he will definitely swallow and vomit, and it will be difficult to justify himself." When the time comes, they can take it down and behead the demonstrator. ”

Han Xuan didn't have any opinions in his heart, and when he heard this, he felt that this plan was good, and laughed loudly: "Okay, you can arrange everything." ”

When he was young, the steward led Yang Ling, who was limping, up.

Yang Ling's face was pale, he had obviously lost blood, and his left arm was also wrapped in white gauze.

When Yang Ling saw Han Xuan, he hurriedly broke away from the attendants who were supporting him, took a few steps quickly, knelt on the ground with a plop and cried loudly: "General, you have to be the master for me." ”

Han Xuan snorted coldly, don't look over.

Yang Ling's heart was half cold, looking at the knife and axe hand on the side, cold sweat flowed from the corners of his forehead, and he shouted loudly: "General, you must believe in the last general, the last general was born and died for you, and there has never been a half-heartedness. Although the general is in Zhang Ying, in fact, he has always been on the general's side in his heart, and today he finally seized an opportunity and ran back. If the general still doesn't believe it, Yang Ling's multiple arrow wounds are ironclad evidence, and the soldiers defending the city can also testify. ”

Han Xuan was originally a person who didn't have any opinions, and when he said this to Yang Ling, he remembered Yang Ling before, and he believed it in his heart, but he still interrogated carefully according to what the steward said.

Yang Ling replied fluently, and told Han Xuan what he knew and experienced. Before that, Yang Ling also said: "General, the reason why the general forcibly escaped this time is because he got a big secret in the enemy barracks. It is precisely because of this that the last general ran out regardless of whether the time was ripe or not, and risked his life greatly. If it weren't for the agility of his skills, he would have died a long time ago. ”

Han Xuan couldn't help but feel good and asked, "What a big secret?" ”

Yang Ling looked at the knife and axe hand on the side, and stopped talking.

Han Xuan waved his hand back from the forty sword and axe hands, and said impatiently: "What's the matter, say it quickly." ”

Yang Ling knelt on his legs and walked forward a few steps, came to Han Xuan's feet, and said in a low voice: "My subordinates have obtained a secret, which has a lot to do with Liu Qi and Huang Zhong?" ”

Han Xuan jumped up in shock when he heard this, and said loudly: "What does it matter? ”

Yang Ling said angrily: "It turns out that a fierce general in Zhang Lang's military camp is called Huang Xu, and this person is Huang Zhong's son. And Zhang Lang secretly and Huang Zhong have already exchanged letters, plotting against each other, just waiting for the best time to come to the inside and outside. Good to take Changsha City. ”

Han Xuan was shocked, the sweat on his forehead seeped down, he paced back and forth a few steps, and his face became more and more iron-clad and said: "Huang Zhong has long been prejudiced against this general, and he has repeatedly picked out right and wrong in front of Liu Qi, so he wants to abolish the post of a certain Changsha Taishou. This time, he dared to fornicate with the enemy, his heart can be punished, the crime is unforgivable, come on, go and arrest Huang Zhong for me, if you resist, you will be killed. ”

The steward hurriedly stopped: "The general can't be impulsive, Huang Zhong is hateful, but with Lord Liu Qi behind his back, it seems a little inappropriate to turn his face with Lord Liu because of this matter." Zhang Langjun came to the city, and the general started to commotion here, so why should this battle be fought. Spreading it out, it's not to make the celestials laugh off their big teeth. Besides, although Huang Zhong has had trouble with adults many times, if he thinks about it carefully, he is loyal to Liu Qi, and Lord Liu is the nephew of the lord, so it seems unlikely that this kind of thing will happen. ”

Han Xuan waved his long sleeves and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, no matter whether Huang Zhong collaborates with the enemy or not, if this person doesn't kill, it's hard to solve the hatred in my heart." Now that I have this great opportunity, how can I let it go. You immediately take a song of men and horses to arrest Huang Zhong. ”

When the steward saw this, he did not talk much, but went down to do things.

Yang Ling said with a flattering face: "The general is wise and far-sighted. There are generals here, so why not be afraid of Zhang Lang in Changsha. ”

Han Xuan fluttered, held his head high and said: "Originally, you were in the battle to defect and could be punished with death, but you made meritorious contributions and stole such important information. The past can be ignored. In the future, you will have to do a good job for General Ben. ”

Yang Ling was a little bottomless in his heart, but when he heard this, he was overjoyed, and he kept patting and saying: "Thank you for the general's grace not to kill, the general is charitable and has a big mind, sooner or later he will be famous all over the world, and he is not willing to be a cow and a horse for the general, and his life is enough after the saddle before the horse." ”

At this time, the guards who came from nowhere came in and muttered to Han Xuan, making Han Xuan's eyes slowly turn from surprise at the beginning, and finally smile.

Yang Ling asked, Han Xuan laughed and told the matter, and the two of them were talking about it.

Soon after, the steward returned.

Han Xuan's spirits perked up and asked, "How are things going?" Can Huang Zhong be killed? ”

The steward said with a strange face: "When his subordinates brought people to arrest him, he didn't resist at all. also threatened to find Taishou to judge you, so his subordinates were not easy to start, so they had to bring him over. In fact, the steward still didn't say something, that is, he wanted to tie up Huang Zhong on the spot to demonstrate his style. But Huang Zhong's attendants were all tall horses, staring at him like fierce gods and bullies, as long as he was a little embarrassed by Huang Zhong, it was difficult to guarantee that the soldiers would draw their swords. This made him have no courage at all, let alone kill him. can only invite him to Han Xuan's mansion, and then tie him up at the fox fake tiger power.

Han Xuan smiled gloomily in his mouth, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted, "Bring it up." ”

The soldiers escorted Huang Zhong, who was tied up with five flowers, and pushed Sang with the sound of incessant shouting.

Huang Zhong's eyes were round with anger, his beard was upside down, his strong and sturdy body shook slightly, and a powerful force came from the hands of the soldiers holding him, making their arms numb, and then they retreated uncontrollably. The soldiers were annoyed and angry, and just wanted to go up and give him a few blows, but they were glared at by Huang Zhong, and a powerful deterrent force spread throughout the hall, and those soldiers couldn't help but be pressed by his momentum, and they were stunned for a while, not daring to do anything wrong, and at the same time, Huang Zhong's voice sounded in his ears, and he said with endless might: "I will go, I don't need you to get in the way." ”

Han Xuanqi's hands and feet trembled, and while secretly hating the waiter's incompetence, he was also stunned by Huang Zhong's momentum in his heart. It wasn't until Huang Zhong stood straight in front of him with his back straight, his eyes squinting with mockery, that he was angry, and he couldn't help but say sharply: "Huang Zhong, your courage is not small, if you don't kneel when you see this general, do you still have a king in your eyes?" ”

Huang Zhong sneered and sneered: "If you don't have to be loyal to your duties, you haven't committed any offenses, Han Taishou caught Huang here indiscriminately, do you have a royal law in your eyes?" ”

Han Xuan blew his beard angrily and glared, and said angrily: "Huang Zhong, you don't kneel first when you meet, and you will be convicted later." And what you have done, you know in your own heart, do you still have to keep too much to do it? ”

Huang Zhong snorted coldly, didn't look at Han Xuan, ignored his existence, and said lightly: "If you want to add sin, there is no word, if you have any ghost thoughts, say it." Huang Zhongxing is upright, sitting upright, what are you afraid of? ”

Han Xuan laughed cruelly and asked, "Huang Zhong, do you have children under your knees?" ”

Huang Zhong was stunned in his heart, and said without thinking about it: "Yes." ”

Han Xuan's eyes dilated, and the corners of his mouth said with a hint of sneer: "How many men and how many women?" ”

Huang Zhong: "There is only one dog. ”

Han Xuan suddenly stood up and said sharply, "Is it called Huang Xu?" ”

Huang Zhong's surname is upright, open-minded, and he didn't think about any excuses at all: "Exactly." ”

Han Xuan suddenly squinted his eyes into a slit, but the murderous intent that flashed out of his cloudy eyes could not escape Huang Zhong's keen eyes, and when he was feeling a little pimple in his heart, Han Xuan said coldly: "Huang Xu is now a confidant general under Jiangdong Zhang Lang, you know it too, right?" ”

Huang Zhong suddenly remembered Han Xuan's narrow mind, looked at his eyes like a poisonous scorpion several times, faintly understood Han Xuan's thoughts in his heart, and said angrily: "Although Huang Xu is my son of Huang Zhong, he has been separated for many years, and Huang Zhong doesn't know where he is now. Even if he is Zhang Lang's general, one is Zhang and the other is Liu. Since ancient times, there is no father and son on the battlefield, if the battlefield meets in the future, but it is also their master, although loyalty does not understand the book of etiquette, but also knows the word loyalty, this heart is the lord, said that the moon can be edicted, how can you frame Zhongliang here? ”

Han Xuan couldn't help clapping his palms and said loudly: "Wonderful, wonderful, Huang Zhong didn't expect you to have such a good mouth." The city guards underestimate you. Yang Ling. Han Xuan suddenly changed his voice and shouted at Yang Ling, "Tell Huang Zhong what you know." ”

Yang Ling immediately took the position and responded: "I don't understand." Yang Ling crutches, back and forth around Huang Zhong slowly two times, and finally couldn't stand Huang Zhong's murderous eyes, shouted, to strengthen his courage, and then said: "Huang Zhong, you have been plotting with Zhang Lang for a long time, when the deputy general surrendered, he was in Zhang Ying, if it wasn't for eavesdropping on the dialogue between Zhang Lang and Huang Xu, the deputy general would not know that you and Zhang Lang had this collusion. Huang Zhong, what else do you have to say now? ”

Huang Zhong couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, his voice covered the entire hall, making everyone inside feel that his chest was pressed like a heavy stone, extremely depressed, and his face was extremely pale, as if he had aged a lot all of a sudden, and his voice was still full of countless grief and desolation: "Poor Huang Zhong is dedicated to serving the Liu family, but in the end he is killed by a murderer, you say that I conspire with Zhang Lang, but what evidence is there?" It's hard to use this bend to convict Huang with a few words? Huang Zhong was not convinced. ”

Han Xuan's heart "plopped" and jumped non-stop, Huang Zhong's courage is well-known in Changsha, in case he is forced to jump off the wall in a hurry, it is not a counter-erosion of rice, but Han Xuan's eyes fell on the thick hemp rope on Huang Zhong's body, and the knot was wrapped back and forth on Huang Zhong's body countless times, and his courage couldn't help but grow a lot, and he said sharply: "Good Huang Zhong, you are still unrepentant when you die." When Huang Xu besieged Liu Qi, Huang Xu's subordinates showed mercy several times and did not kill Liu Qi, who didn't know that Liu Qi ran for Huang Xu's illness in many ways and was kind, so his subordinates showed mercy and did not kill Liu Qi. And later, you obviously led reinforcements to defeat the Huang Xu army with Liu Qi, but in the end, why didn't you chase and kill? Don't you have no selfishness in your heart? If it weren't for the fact that the guards who knew about it reported to me just now, I really couldn't do anything about you. ”

Huang Zhong was silent.

Seeing that Huang Zhong was silent, Han Xuan's heart became even more angry, he waved his hand and said angrily: "Come on, pull Huang Zhong down and cut me down." ”
