Alas!

Five days ago, the edict from the imperial court had been sent to Huai'an City, and it was also sent to him, and he had also read it, and there was only one edict, that is, to transfer troops to the north and quell the chaos.

Afterwards.

That is, three days ago, the imperial court issued another edict, and Zhang Rui, the prince of the British dynasty, would serve as a special envoy to come to Lianghuai to reward the army on behalf of Chongzhen, and at the same time, along with condolences to their officials at all levels of [Lianghuai].

Regarding the meaning of the imperial court, not only he Huang Degong, but also the officials at all levels of [Lianghuai] are like mirrors, and this prince came here for nothing more than the Lianghuai camp in Huang Degong's hands.

Therefore, he was worried about this, and he had previously sent the men and horses of [Wolong Water Village] to plot against Zhang Rui, but those wastes actually missed.

Afterward.

I heard that Zhang Rui was trapped by the manpower of the [Salt Gang].

He was also relieved by this.

But he didn't expect that [Salt Gang] and Zhang Rui were actually in the same group, and he was actually tricked.

A move [Ming Xiu Plank Road, Secretly Crossing Chen Cang], made his situation extremely passive and embarrassing, if he sent someone to poison Zhang Rui again, then everyone in the world would scold him.

After that, he will completely lose the hearts and minds of the people.

If that's really the case, he will be ruined and completely lose everything he has now, so now he Huang Degong not only can't harm Zhang Rui, but also ensures Zhang Rui's personal safety in [Shuntian City].

【Lianghuai Camp】

200,000 troops.

This is Huang Degong's hard work for nearly ten years, and this is also the biggest trump card in his hand, how can he give it easily.

This is what he used to save his life.

Now in troubled times, Huang Degong clearly understands the truth that there is a soldier in his hand and does not panic.

Once the imperial court transfers the soldiers and horses of the two Huai battalions to Henan to resist Gao Xianzhi, then these soldiers and horses will also be like meat buns and dogs, and they must not come back.

He can't let Zhang Rui and the imperial court take away his soldiers and horses, otherwise, he will become a bare-bones commander, a nominal "two Huai Festival envoys", and his Huang Degong is not uncommon to do, and he is not willing to do it.

Of course, what worries Huang Degong the most is that there are too many people who have offended over the years, and once he has no military power, these people will definitely eat him alive and let him die without a place to bury.

Also, the power, wealth, and women he now has will be robbed by others.

These are also unacceptable to him.

"My lord, I just received a report that the mansion of the political envoy Zhou Peigong was ransacked by a gang of thieves, killing and injuring hundreds of people."

"Among them are the bodies of the Bloody Knights."

"What do you think of this case?"

Meng Xuqing said very humbly.

"Bloody Knight?!"

"Master Meng, what is the situation for you to tell this official carefully?"

Huang Degong's face on the side immediately became cautious.

Bloody Knight!

As we all know, this is an elite trump card under King Fu, which has always been used to eradicate dissidents, kill people and sell goods, in short, do not do good things.

He didn't expect King Fu to poison a political envoy of the Ming Kingdom so easily.

A touch of helpless desolation arises spontaneously.

He was worried about whether he would have such a day. Fu Wang Zhu Jing has a cold nature, don't look at his current harmless appearance of humans and animals, but in fact, he is ruthless and vicious.

He'd already learned that.

"My lord, after our preliminary investigation, it should be these blood-clothed knights who went to kill Lord Zhou, but someone hunted these blood-clothed knights and rescued Lord Zhou."

"At present, we don't know who did it to the Bloody Knight, but this can show that we [Huai'an City] have an unknown force."

"My lord, I propose to strengthen the vigilance of the four city gates."

Meng Xuqing said.

"That's right."

"This official will inform the city defense battalion to increase the vigilance of the city gate and the number and frequency of patrols in the city, and now it is an eventful autumn in [Huai'an City], we must be extremely careful."

"Lord Meng, as the prefect of Huai'an Mansion, you can't relax the security affairs in the city, and after you go back, you must strengthen your inspection of all squares and streets in the city."

"We must take precautions before they happen and find this unknown force that has infiltrated my [Huai'an City]."

Huang Degong on the side said earnestly.

"Yes!"

Meng Xuqing said.

"Master Meng, you are also the official of our [Lianghuai], at this time, we must unite, understand? You also see the style of Prince Fu and the matter of Zhou Peigong, we must take this as a warning. ”

Huang Degong reminded.

"Don't worry, my lord. I was born as a person of [Lianghuai], and I am also a ghost of [Lianghuai] when I die, and I know how to do it. ”

Meng Xuqing said.

"Good!"

Huang Degong said with a very satisfied chin.

"Go ahead."

"Yes!"

As soon as he sent Meng Xuqing away, Huang Degong was not idle, he immediately went to Tianxiang Pavilion, he wanted to see King Fu, Zhou Peigong's matter was a big trouble, and it must be properly resolved.

.......

Tianxiang Pavilion, backyard.

As soon as Fu King Zhu Jing received the report from his subordinates, his face immediately became gloomy and scary.

The blood-clothed knights he had worked so hard to assemble were all folded in the Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Peigong's whereabouts are unknown.

"Zhang Rui, are you sure he's still in Suite Five?"

King Fu asked suddenly.

He has always been scheming, and he put the object of suspicion on Zhang Rui at the first time, because he knew that the person who [Huai'an City] could not want Zhou Peigong to die was Zhang Rui.

In addition, his Blood-Clad Knight has experienced a hundred battles, and it is definitely not something that ordinary forces can do to destroy the Blood-Cloaked Knight.

As the true master of [Huai'an City], he clearly knew that looking at the whole city, no one could threaten his blood-clothed knights, so this force could only come from outside, so Zhang Rui naturally became the primary object of suspicion.

Nanyin's body trembled slightly, and after that, he said truthfully: "Master, I, I sent someone to keep an eye on it, and I didn't find anyone entering and leaving Suite No. 5. ”

"Nanyin, you go and show this king to see if Zhang Rui is in Suite No. 5?"

"Remember not to alarm him."

King Fu said compassionately.

The defeat of the Bloody Knight was the first mistake in his life, and he hated it.

He didn't like the feeling of not being in control.

"Call Guan Sheng, Sima Chaoqun is here to see this king."

He said again.

This time he's going on a killing spree.

Whether Zhang Rui's people eliminated his Bloody Knights, this time he was ready to go on a killing spree and dig out all these rats.

"No!"

Nanyin called.

Afterwards.

She stepped back respectfully.

First, she sent someone to summon Guan Sheng and Sima Chaoqun, and then she asked people to prepare some food, and under the pretext of delivering food, she went to Suite No. 5 to explore the reality.

Five minutes later, Nanyin appeared outside Suite 5 with three beautiful maids and three food boxes.

"Lord Shizi, it's time for dinner, and the slave maid has prepared some wine and food for you."

She called softly outside the door, for fear of angering Zhang Rui.

All along, she was responsible for sending people to keep an eye on Zhang Rui, and she never found anyone coming in or out, so she believed that Zhang Rui was in the house, which was one of the reasons why she was so careful.

Once Zhang Rui is angered, the consequences will be very serious.

“......”

One second, two seconds, three seconds......

Thirty seconds later, there was still no response.

Nanyin's face began to gradually become solemn.

She panicked.

If Zhang Rui really "disappeared" under her nose, then what happened just now, nine times out of ten, was his doing, the fall of the Bloody Knights, the cause of trouble, once King Fu was angry, she would also be blamed, and the consequences were not something she could bear.

That's why she's so scared.
