Chapter 0014: Please Die First. No, let's ask my brother to die first
Hearing Feng Shuangli's reminder, Ai Nengqi's eyes widened suddenly, his throat twitched, he looked around, and said in surprise:
"Are you saying that the assassination of my father-in-law was arranged by the eldest brother?"
After Ainengqi finished speaking, he vigorously denied it:
"Impossible, impossible!"
Fourteen years ago, after his father-in-law launched an uprising in Mizhi County, Shaanxi, the eldest brother began to follow his father-in-law.
For so many years, the eldest brother has been able to fight well and has always been valued by his father-in-law.
Among the four adopted sons, only the eldest brother Sun Kewang has the most military power.
Over the years, only the second brother Li Dingguo can be compared with it.
So Ainengqi also wants to make greater achievements to prove himself.
But now that he suddenly heard the news that the eldest brother had sent someone to assassinate his father-in-law, Ainengqi didn't believe it, and he couldn't believe it!
How could the eldest brother Sun Kewang be the kind of person who likes to kill his father like Lu Bu?
Feng Shuangli also thought that his guess was too shocking, so he said:
"General, the king is expanding too fast, and it is inevitable that some people will not be of the same mind as us.
Besides, the rumors spread too fast, and the army was in turmoil, so we still stopped the troops for the time being.
He went back to see if King Onishi was well, and pushed the artillery and ladders into the city. ”
Although his face was ugly, he still nodded.
As a son of man, when he heard that his father-in-law did not know the life and death of his father-in-law, he should go back to pay a visit.
This Shu Wangfu is here, and he can't run away, so let the dog Shu King live for a while.
"Collect the troops and rest for the time being."
After Ai Nengqi gave the order, he took people out of the outer city of the Shu Palace.
He's going to see for himself, he's going to see.
In case the matter is really as Feng Shuangli guessed, it is better to discuss it with the second and third brothers.
The back garden of the Shu Palace.
The round King of Shu was wandering by the well.
It's definitely not good for the vassal king to fall into the hands of thieves.
The king of Shu knew that a few days ago, King Rui was executed in Chongqing.
Farther away, King Xiang and King Guiyang were all killed.
What's even more terrifying is that Zhang Xianzhong executed the queen of Chu and shared his flesh with his subordinates.
How could he not be afraid of all this?
The king of Shu asked the king of Taiping who had fled to him for refuge:
"Why don't you ask my brother first?"
"It's better for my brother to invite first."
King Taiping's face turned pale, and he was not willing to commit suicide if he hadn't reached the last step.
The King of Shu was also trembling, took a small step back, and gave up half of his body:
"It's better for my younger brother to die first, the wellhead is too small, lonely and fatter, I'm afraid that I will be stuck in the middle and delay my brother's martyrdom."
The Taiping King's head shook like a rattle, and he jumped back a big step by relying on his youth:
"It's better for my brother to die first, give us an example!"
As for the concubines of the second king, they were all lining up in the back to wipe their tears, waiting to jump into the well.
If they don't commit suicide, they will be even worse if they fall into the hands of thieves.
How rich it used to be, how bleak it is now.
"No, no, no, my brother dies first."
"It's better for my brother to die first."
"My brother dies first!"
"Brother dies first!"
The two kings tried their best to ask the other party to make a sample first, and persuaded the other party to jump into the well and die for the country.
At this moment, there was a long announcement.
The second king was startled and hurried to the well.
Don't think about it, it must be broken.
If you don't die, it's too late.
fell into the hands of Zhang Xianzhong, and there was not even a whole corpse.
"Your Highness, Zhang Xianzhong is dead."
The second king stepped into the well with one leg, holding the mouth of the well with both hands, waiting for who would jump first.
When they heard the news, they looked at each other and sat down on the edge of the well.
I almost jumped off and died for my country.
Zuo Qianhu was originally quite excited, but he was also shocked when he saw this scene.
Is this a distrust of yourself to hold the inner city?
That's why you want to die early?
The King of Shu immediately got up, ran to Zuo Qianhu, held his hand and said:
"Zixiong, is this true?"
Zuo Qianhu retracted his hand from the fat King of Shu:
"Now that the thieves have retreated, it must be a big mess in the army, and Your Highness can rest for a few more days.
When the inner city is breached, it is not too late to be martyred.
Otherwise, if the soldiers knew that the king of Shu had thrown himself into the well, he would be in chaos. ”
"Ancestors bless, Zhang Xianzhong is dead!"
The King of Taiping held the mouth of the well and laughed, so that he would have a chance to live?
The King of Shu said excitedly: "Zixiong, do you know how the thief Zhang Xianzhong died?" ”
"Your Highness, maybe Qin Zuoming killed him!"
Zuo Qianhu landed with a word, and the King of Shu was stunned.
"Qin Zuoming killed?"
"He's thirteen!" The King of Shu's face was full of disbelief:
"Sichuan Governor Long Wenguang can't do it with 30,000 people, how can he kill Zhang Xianzhong with thirteen people?"
"Your Highness, the twelve horsemen of Tongzhou won more with less, and they could also kill and injure hundreds of Tartars.
If the outcome of a war can be determined by the number of people alone, how can there be Guandu and Chibi?
Your Royal Highness, don't forget, Taizu's battle of Poyang Lake was also a victory with less! ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The King of Shu nodded again and again: "Did Qin Zuoming really do it?" ”
"Your Highness, those war horses taken away from the Shu Palace, the subordinates will not admit their mistakes, Qin Zuoming's voice came from afar, and I also think it is very similar."
"Hahaha." King Taiping, who was holding the mouth of the well, laughed and said: "It turned out to be the Qin family, and it is really my loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
"I can't wait to give him all the money!" The King of Shu clapped his fist and said excitedly: "Where is Qin Zuoming?" ”
"I guess I'm going to spread the word around."
"Hey, such a loyal minister, he is not by the side of the lonely king."
The king of Shu felt that Qin Zuoming was there, so he retreated.
Zuo Qianhu sighed secretly.
Even if Qin Zuoming killed Zhang Xianzhong, the thief would definitely retaliate even more frantically, and he immediately asked:
"Your Highness, now that the thief army has retreated, I hope that the King of Shu can go up to the city wall to reward the soldiers and eat more meat."
"Good!" The king of Shu agreed: "Let's go, we all have a good meal." ”
Since the thief Zhang Xianzhong is dead, he doesn't want to die now.
The news of Zhang Xianzhong's killing immediately spread throughout the inner city.
Many Ming soldiers shouted with joy: "The Ming army is mighty! ”
The besieging thieves looked at each other, and the news that Zhang Xianzhong was killed by the Ming army really affected the morale of the army.
Ainengqi hurriedly walked in the direction of the north gate with a large group of guards, and heard on the way that the king was indeed dead.
The eldest brother Sun Kewang will surround the Ming army that killed the king on the watchtower of the Chengdu Mansion.
It has not yet been captured, and it is said that many mines have been laid, which has caused panic among the people.
Ai Nengqi didn't care about this, and went straight to the government secretary's office.
"Second brother, how is my father-in-law?"
As soon as Ai Nengqi entered the gate of the mansion, he saw the second brother standing at the door, surrounded by armor soldiers.
All the swords were unsheathed to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
Li Dingguo's face was very ugly, and when he saw Ai Nengqi coming, he directly reprimanded:
"Fourth brother, didn't the eldest brother say that let you occupy the Chengdu Mansion along the way, and then go straight to the Shu Palace, why are there any fish that have slipped through the net?"
Ai Nengqi said with a look of wrongedness: "Second brother, I have indeed cleared all the officers and soldiers. ”
"Why?"
Ai Nengqi pulled Li Dingguo to the side and whispered a recount of the affairs of the thirteen cavalry officers.
"What?" After Li Dingguo heard this, he immediately shouted angrily: "Fourth brother, what do you mean? ”
