Chapter 22 The East Enters the Decree Mansion
Ma Shangqing, the general of the family, came to the lobby, glanced at the top, and knelt on the ground, "Report, the cold soul general of the imperial court, sent General Fu Fang to discuss the matter, and now he is outside the lobby, please show the old lady?" ”
Just now, the hall was confirming the news of the second master Linghu, and they were reporting one by one, until the news of his killing came.
No one believed. The point is that none of them are eyewitnesses, they are all word of mouth, and no one can give definite information.
Therefore, from the old lady who is high, to the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, etc., they don't believe it. He Lingfu, in this small town is the sky, most of the people, like livestock for his family to drive, no one dares to provoke, dare to resist, let alone dare to kill the second son of Lingfu. In the eyes of Lingfu, the people in the town are as humble as ants, and they dare to kill the second master of Lingfu, isn't this a rebellion? Aren't you afraid of being wiped out by the Nine Clans?
None of the people who reported the news had seen it with their own eyes, and they were all rebuked for being blind and useless. Therefore, it is still undecidable whether Linghu was killed, where, who killed, how many people, and whether to send someone to arrest the murderer. The point is that the arrogance in his bones makes the main members of the Ling Mansion believe this fact.
The old lady couldn't, so he had to send his family again to find out the news. But the strange thing is that none of the generals who were newly sent out to inquire about the news have come back, and they have sunk into the sea.
The more anxious he was, the more there was no news, which provoked several sons of the mansion to scold the rice bucket. They lived deep in the castle of Lingfu, and who knew that the people sent out were captured by the town's armed forces and disposed of cleanly.
When he was in a hurry, he suddenly heard Ma Shangqing's report, but he didn't hear it clearly, and looked at him. Seeing this, Ma Shangqing said loudly: "Back to the old lady, Lord Cold Soul of the Imperial Court, send General Fu Fang to discuss important matters." ”
This time, the hall was completely silent, and they looked at Ma Shangqing, the general, but they didn't say a word.
Seeing that there was no order, the general Ma Shangqing was afraid that the old lady would turn his ears, so he repeated it again loudly.
The old lady paused slightly, and then he relieved himself, and he didn't dare to slack off, and ordered: "Please invite the master of the imperial court to come to the court." ”
After a while, Dongfang carried a black python war spear, carried two long and short swords at his waist, and wore a ghost mask, and walked up to the lobby proudly.
He stood in the center and glanced at the old lady Ling sitting above. I thought to myself, he is also magnificent enough, and he didn't sit down to greet him, which shows his confidence, but you can know how arrogant he is on weekdays, and he can't live forever.
I saw that this made the old lady have a thin face, gray hair, and under a pair of residual eyebrows, her small eyes were bright and breathtaking. The high nose bridge is curved, the thin lips are oblique, not angry but mighty, and a majestic look.
At the same time, he also looked at Dongfang: dressed in black, the nether mask covered his face, but it couldn't stop the angular face. The bright eyes that were revealed were not angry and arrogant, and people did not dare to look directly.
At this time, Dongfang put the black python spear on the ground with a "bang", and then, calmly saluted upwards, and said: "I am the subordinate general under the command of the cold soul general with Ling Xu, I am Fu Fang, and I am responsible for hunting down the remnants of the previous dynasty." Today, near the town, traces of the Qin prisoners were found, and General Teyilen ordered that all the generals of the government should be transferred to participate in the battle. After a pause, he deliberately gave the old lady time to react, and then continued: "Please order the old lady to give the order, quickly gather the generals, and follow me to arrest the Qin criminal." ”
The old lady was surprised at first, and then groaned, thinking, when will the imperial court be short of soldiers and major generals, and it will be the turn of the generals to use my Lingfu? So, he hesitated a little and asked, "It is incumbent upon him to exterminate the Qin criminals." However, the family members of the Ling family nursing home are not in the army. Even if it is General Leng's intention, he has to reluctantly make it difficult, I don't know if the general has a token of General Leng? ”
When Dongfang heard this, he knew that he didn't believe it and became suspicious. I thought to myself, at this time, one omission will be wasted. So, Nai was-for-tat and said loudly: "Old lady Ling, with all due respect, do you doubt me, or do you doubt General Leng's loyalty to the imperial court?" After saying that, he impatiently took out the arrow, shook it upward, and put it into his arms arrogantly.
The old lady did hesitate, but he only speculated according to common sense and felt that this matter was strange. Seeing that Dongfang was arrogant and covered his face with a ghostly mask, he didn't take him, the emperor of the earth, in his eyes, and he was very unhappy in his heart, but he didn't doubt the truth of Dongfang's identity, but only cared more about Dongfang's arrogance. His attitude is in the heart of the East, and he can't ask for it.
At this time, the old lady Ling on the high seat sneered in her heart: My son is under the command of General Leng with you, what is so great about you. Thinking of this, he smiled, and said in a sunny manner: "General, the pillar of the country, with the emperor's grace, came to the town today to arrest the Qin criminals, and it was quite hard. The old man has a lot of questions, is it just the general and you are the only one person, going to the soup for the court? If that's the case, I'm so impressed! ”
These few words, first raised and then suppressed, made the princes of the mansion very comfortable to hear, and nodded frequently. There is no need to ask, several of them are not convinced, and they are all secretly scolding in their hearts: "What are you arrogant, aren't you asking to come to the door of my Lingfu?" As the saying goes, a strong dragon doesn't crush the head snake. ”
Dongfang sprinkled, disagreed, and replied loudly: "As an official of the imperial court, under the grace of His Majesty, he should take the lead in the imperial court, sacrifice his life and forget his death, and do his best." This is also the vocation of the next. However, my people mainly operate in secret, and usually wear civilian clothes, not in the form of an army. After speaking, he paused slightly, and then his voice suddenly became high-pitched, blessed with some soul attack mana, and said: "Please order the old lady to gather all the generals in the mansion first, I want to speak." Of course, my men and horses will also act together. ”
These few words, as polite as they sound, are actually giving orders, and there is no room for maneuver.
The old lady's head was shocked "buzz, buzz, buzz", and there were bursts of heart palpitations, and the momentum just now plummeted.
However, the old guy shook his head, still unwilling to fall behind. Then, he rubbed his head inexplicably, shook it a few more times, and felt normal, and then said: "These generals are all slaves of the mansion, trained by the dog Lingxu himself, and they only listen to the orders of the generals of the mansion, which is difficult for outsiders to control." So, it must be commanded by the dogs, please don't blame the general? ”
When Dongfang heard this, it was exactly what I wanted, so he clenched his fists and said: "No matter how good it is, please order the old lady to gather the generals quickly, so as not to delay the military plane." ”
With a wave of the old lady's hand, several of his sons were ordered to go to the martial arts arena immediately.
Dongfang saw it and let go. So he nodded and smiled, hugged his fist at the old lady Ling, and said: "Old lady Ling, worthy of being a loyal minister of Dachang Kingdom, I will say a lot of good things for General Ling Xuan in front of General Leng." After saying that, he turned around and went with him.
For a while, the rhythmic drum sounded suddenly, and it was the drum used by the Lingfu to gather the soldiers.
Hearing this drum, all the generals must quickly go to the martial arts arena to point the mao, drum through the three links, and behead those who fail to meet the deadline in the palace, which is the iron law of the government.
Hundreds of generals, each with a sword, have lined up in the martial arts arena, and at a glance, they are indeed well-trained and powerful. Dongfang secretly praised in his heart: It is worthy of Ling Xu's training, this general is really a talent, but it is a pity that he is willing to be Sima Shijun's lackey.
The second master Linghu was not there, and the third master Lingmu had a chance to come out, he looked at the east proudly, and asked provocatively: "General Fufang, the soldiers of the Lingfu have been assembled, I don't know..., where are the general's soldiers?" ”
What you really want. Dongfang smiled at Ling Mu and said, "Okay, then let your general Ma Shangqing, pass on my general order, and secretly enter the mansion." ”
At this time, Ma Shangqing was also in the queue, and when he heard Dongfang ordering him, he came out in response.
Dongfang walked down the general's platform with a sense of matter, came to his side, and solemnly ordered: "Ma Shangqing, this general knows that you are bold and capable, and now orders you to quickly leave the gate of the Lingfu, turn right to the corner of the first block, and order my herald Dian Xiao, quickly bring the army to the Lingfu martial arts field, listen to my general's order, and there must be no mistake." ”
Ma Shangqing left in response, and his heart was still a little happy. He wondered if there would be another reward for a while, and that was also uncertain.
The third master Lingmu looked at Ma Shangqing's back as if he didn't believe it. I thought to myself, what to blow, return the army, I don't know how many soldiers there can be, if there are enough soldiers and horses, where will they come to my house to borrow soldiers?
Chapter Twenty-Three: Zhidian Xiao Lives Up to His Mission
Saying that, Ma Shangqing went out of the Lingfu, crossed the suspension bridge, turned right and came to the designated place, and saw a person looking left and right there. Ma Shangqing took a closer look, it was the shopkeeper of the Three Cups Drunken Winery, and there was no one else.
The little second child of this shop was in a hurry, and when he saw that Ma Shangqing was in a hurry, he expected that it was the general order of the East, so he deliberately straightened his chest.
Ma Shangqing ignored the shopkeeper and looked for someone. When the shopkeeper saw it, he talked and asked, "I said Ma Tou'er, but are you looking for Dian Xiao?" ”
Ma Shangqing was stunned for a moment and asked, "How do you know?" ”
"In Xiafu Fang, the herald, Dian Xiao is also."
When Ma Shangqing heard this, he was stunned and asked suspiciously: "You, are you..., the general's person?" ”
"Of course, the general also said that the general of the Lingfu family who gave him the order will be rewarded heavily afterwards."
Ma Shangqing was happy to hear it, but he was still a little puzzled, when did you become a herald when you ran away from the hall, it was too incredible.
The little second child of this shop usually does the errand of serving people, and he is the most observant. As soon as I saw Ma Shangqing's misty expression, I knew what this guy was thinking. So, he pretended to ask mysteriously, "Do you know the secret generals of the imperial court?" ”
"Naturally, I know that my uncle is still the commander of the secret general, and his soldiers will have a division of four thousand tigers and wolves!"
"So, the dark general, the dark general, is usually in the dark, not visible, just like me."
When Ma Shangqing heard this, he felt dizzy and reasonable, so he said: "The general ordered you to pass the order, and quickly lead the troops to the martial arts arena of the Lingfu, and there must be no mistakes." ”
"I've waited for the general's order." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he waved into the distance, only to see that an army drove out, all wearing masks. Miraculously, the weapons of this army are varied. What's more, there are people with hoes, sledgehammers, and fire tongs for striking iron.
Ma Shangqing was stunned, before he could react, the shopkeeper pushed him, couldn't help but say, led the army, and went straight to the martial arts arena of Lingfu.
……
At this time, above the lobby of the Ling Mansion, there was the old lady Ling. For some reason, he was always unsure of Dongfang with the mask, and his right eyelid jumped abruptly every few moments. The ominous premonition made his heart tighten more and more. I thought to myself, what can happen? He asked himself repeatedly, but he couldn't think of what would happen. With his mind, his position, he did not dare to doubt the East.
Just as the old lady was restless, the sharp-beaked monkey stumbled into the hall. I saw that he was holding a package in his left hand, and his right hand was bloody and shrugging, and he fell to the ground, and immediately howled with snot and tears: "Old lady, it's not good, woo..."
The old lady Ling, who sat majestically, was startled by the howl of the sharp-beaked monkey's cheeks, and everyone couldn't help but shudder, and her heart was pounding...
The relieved old lady Ling, the thief's bright eyes stared at the sharp-beaked monkey's gills that fell to the ground. The angry old Gao blurted out: "You're going to die..."
"Woo..., old lady..."
"Your father is dead, what are you doing here?"
"It's the second master who is dead, old lady, woo..."
The old lady was stunned, as if she didn't hear clearly, and asked with a trembling mouth: "What, what, what did you say?" ”
"The second master is dead, the second master is gone, my old lady..."
"You, you, you, are you telling the truth?" The thief's bright two little eyes dimmed suddenly.
The sharp-beaked monkey gills opened the package, "The second master's head is here, it's so miserable, old lady, woo..."
made the old man pay attention, but it was not the head of his second son, and his heart was painful.
He hated, he was angry, he opened his hands and grabbed into the air, as if he was going to catch something, the corners of his mouth kept trembling...
For a moment, he relieved his mind and asked in a trembling voice, "Who, who is it that killed your second master?" ”
So, the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks briefly recounted what happened at the Three Glasses Drunken Winery.
Later, Linghu and his four subordinates chased him down the street, and he and the stupid big man didn't know it. At that time, these two sad goods were attacked by Dahei, and they were seriously injured, in unbearable pain, and fainted to the ground. Later, the sharp-billed monkey cheeks woke up first, and the stupid big one never got up.
After Dongfang killed Linghu, the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks woke up, got up, glanced at the stupid big man who had passed out, and came out with three glasses of drunken winery. As soon as he saw that there was something wrong on the street, he hid in Tibet. Later, he secretly came to the scene, took advantage of the unpreparedness, collected Linghu's head, evaded the town's armament, and fled to Lingfu.
Along the way, he saw that the people in the town had copied the guys, all of them seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and they were excited...
After saying this, the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks suddenly snorted, "Old lady, these lowly ants, I'm afraid they're going to rebel?" ”
The old lady was indeed taken aback by this product again, and her right eyelid jumped suddenly.
"What howl? I have a general, who was trained by your uncle, and everyone can be a hundred, they are really tired and crooked. You, hurry up, hurry up and help me to the martial arts arena, I want to send troops, one by one will be severely punished, and there will be no forgiveness for killing! ”
……
Martial arts arena.
The civilians of the town are armed, all wearing masks and armed with various weapons. They were brought in by Ma Shangqing and Dian Xiao. As soon as the soldiers and horses stepped into the martial arts arena. There is no need to command, just surround the generals of the Lingfu family who are lined up. There are four of them in a team, dealing with a general. Four hundred people surrounded hundreds of Lingfu generals, and the number was four to one. The remaining 100 small town armies surrounded Dianjiangtai and watched the son-in-law of the Ling family and the housekeeper.
Several sons and daughters of the Ling family never dreamed that there would be such a force in the East. What they didn't expect was that they were surrounded in the center, including the hundreds of generals.
The generals are also confused, this secret general army has entered the martial arts arena, why do they surround them, this is not like goodwill.
……
At this time, the old lady arrived. Although he is old, he is still full of momentum. I saw that he stepped onto the Dianjiang platform step by step and stood beside Dongfang. And the sharp-beaked monkey gills, bent over, supported the old lady Ling with his left hand.
Dongfang, at a glance, I saw the sharp-beaked monkey's gills, and I couldn't help but be vigilant. The old lady Ling, who personally ascended to the general platform at this moment, was the key general to gather soldiers and horses to avenge his second son Linghu. Not only that, but it is also necessary to immediately suppress the small town ants who want to rebel.
At this time, the sharp-beaked monkey looked to the east, and suddenly froze, and his mind became trance. I thought to myself, although the secret general of this court wears a mask, how can he be so familiar? That temperament, demeanor, and body shape seem to have been seen somewhere.
Slowly, he combined the dark general in front of him with the three glasses of drunken winery Dongfang. This made his heart sink and he couldn't help but be afraid. Even more coincidentally, the breeze from the east, mixed with the peculiar smell of three glasses of drunkenness, made him confirm who the person under the mask was...
His pupils contracted little by little, shock, fear, and anger intertwined, making him howl madly: "Old lady..., it's him, it's him, it's him who killed the second master.... ”
The old lady Ling, with a posture, was about to order the generals to hunt down the murderer and suppress the people of the town. At this time, an unsuspecting howl close to his ear, which was parted by the sharp-beaked monkey's cheeks, was really sudden, and scared him so much that he couldn't help but cover his chest with his hands and almost fell down.
Everyone's eyes were on the sharp-beaked monkey's gills, looking at this startled goods. Then, following his fingers, look at the masked East....
I saw that Dongfang was calm and relaxed, and everything was under control. Exactly, there is a poem praising the East:
The boy was too frenzied, and the horizontal sword roared to the sky. Ten thousand horses in the army come and go, and the thieves will run away. The tiger descended the mountain, the golden dragon jumped over the river, flew straight down 90,000 feet, raised his eyebrows and unsheathed the sword. The demon cultivators and evil officials are all small, cheering and looking at their heads, today they will punish you and do the right thing for the sky!
