Volume 2 The Journey to Nanhuai Chapter 84 Attack and Kill
"Father, you go alone, I'm afraid it's not appropriate..."As soon as the old Nanhuai King came out of the camp tent, Li Yaoyang was already waiting outside the tent with a big gun, and admonished.
"It's okay, with Lord Yi and Lord Liu of Lingyue Pavilion as guarantees, what can happen to you." The old Nanhuai King was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, and he was not worried about going to the meeting. The battlefield advantage was already on his side, and Yi Xiaodao successfully rebelled against Ling Yue Pavilion, this was a good opportunity to eradicate the Nanhuai family in one fell swoop, and the old Nanhuai King didn't want to miss it.
Li Yaoyang shook his head: "Otherwise, I will go with you, but I can keep you safe!" ”
Li Dingxing saw that his eldest brother had no opinions on weekdays, but today he insisted so much, and he was faintly uneasy in his heart, and said: "What the eldest brother said is right, my father and eldest brother go together, I am not afraid of 10,000, I am afraid of just in case." ”
The old Nanhuai King thought about it for a while and said, "It's not appropriate for Yang'er and me to go, the Nanhuai army still needs someone to lead it." Although Xing'er is good at archery and quite strategic, he is not a qualified commander. Why don't Xing'er go with me, then Yi Xiaodao has a good impression of you, and it is more appropriate for you to go with me. ”
Li Yaoyang looked at his second brother, although he still objected in his heart, he still nodded: "It's okay, second brother, you are careful in everything, if there is any situation, you will release arrows to warn, and the eldest brother will lead the troops to kill him!" ”
Seeing that his father and eldest brother had said so, Li Dingxing took the bow and quiver handed over by Nanhuai Jun, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't worry, eldest brother!" ”
Li Yaoyang sent the old Nanhuai king's father and son out of the camp, helped the old Nanhuai king to the horse, and said: "Father... Be careful, second brother, protect your father! ”
"Big brother, don't worry!" Li Dingxing jumped on his horse, and only fought with the old Nanhuai King and went towards Hangcheng.
Li Yaoyang returned to the camp, ordered the generals, held a big gun at the door of the camp, leaned on the doorpost, looked at the towering Hangzhou, and fell into deep thought.
……
Yi Xiaodao is in a very good mood today, last night Cui Ying and Gao Cui helped Xianglian'er to the city wall, and met Yi Xiaodao under the city.
As soon as Yi Xiaodao shouted out a sentence of "Pig Lotus", it attracted a burst of scolding from Xiang Lian'er, Yi Xiaodao listened to Xiang Lian'er's scolding in the city, not only was he not annoyed, but he raised his head and smirked happily. One laughed in the city for most of the night, and he didn't even notice when Cui Ying and Gao Cui helped Xianglian'er away.
"Lord Yi, all the clans in Nanhuai have arrived, but... The patriarch of the Zhu family is gone. As soon as Yi Xiaodao went up to the city tower, Gao Cui came over to inform him of the situation.
Yi Xiaodao frowned slightly, then waved his hand and said: "No matter, it's good that the rest of the families are here, as for the Zhu family... That's the matter of King Nanhuai. What kind of storm can a Zhu family set off in front of King Nanhuai? ”
Gao Cui nodded, and led Yi Xiaodao to the city wall, the patriarchs and elders of all the clans in Nanhuai had already arrived, and they sat in two rows in the hall of the city tower, Liu Zhiyun sat in the first row of seats, and the first seat of the other row was also empty, which was obviously reserved for Yi Xiaodao.
Yi Xiaodao walked over and bowed his hand to the elders of the various clans in Nanhuai one by one, although he didn't know him, but he was not the center of this contradiction, he should be polite, maybe he would be able to use it when he could.
As soon as Yi Xiaodao sat down, Cui Ying led the old Nanhuai King and Li Dingxing to the outside of the city tower.
Yi Xiaodao and Liu Zhiyun hurriedly got up and greeted them, and the relics of all ethnic groups were a little embarrassed for a while, neither sitting nor standing. If you go out to greet each other, this meeting is to talk about reconciliation, and to meet the hostility first is to be a head shorter; If it is not welcomed, the 30,000 Nanhuai troops under the city are not easy to deal with...
After thinking about it, Gu Lao, the eldest and most prestigious of the various clans, stood up tremblingly and walked out on crutches. When the rest of the ethnic groups saw it, they all stood up with a "hula", and a large group of people came to the door to greet the old Nanhuai King.
The old Nanhuai King was originally happy in his heart, but at this time, when he saw that the Nanhuai tribes finally lowered their heads, his heart was even more happy.
The old Nanhuai King glanced at the crowd, didn't see Zhu Ce, his nemesis, and asked, "Why didn't the Zhu family patriarch come?" Do you want the old man to go and invite him? ”
When the elders of all ethnic groups heard the prickly words of the old Nanhuai King, they were ashamed in their hearts, and finally Gu Lao said: "I am ashamed!" Listening to the words of the Zhu family, vainly trying to deduct the army of the old Nanhuai King deserves death... Please also ask the old Nanhuai King to bow to the old man..."After speaking, he threw away his crutches and was about to kneel.
The old Nanhuai King and Yi Xiaodao scolded secretly in their hearts at the same time: "Old fox, retreat is advance." "Why, since the people have already given enough face, the old king of Nanhuai had to step forward and support Gu Lao, and said: "This king still relies on your help in Nanhuai, Gu Lao is really serious." ”
After a polite tugging, everyone surrounded the king of Nanhuai and returned to the hall again, and sat down in the main order, and the king of Nanhuai naturally sat at the top, and the chair originally prepared for Zhu Ce by the head had been quietly removed by Gao Cui.
"Elders, everyone, this king came this time to pay tribute, I don't know where the tribute is now?" The old King Nanhuai defeated the family today and stabilized his head, but he still knew very well in his heart that as long as he found the Sui Gong, the position of the King of Nanhuai could be kept, so he didn't care about anything else, and it was the right thing to solve the problem of the Sui Gong.
The patriarch of the Lu family stood up and said: "Please also ask the king of Nanhuai Mingjian, we just listened to the nonsense of the Zhu family, and did not pay the annual tribute to the king of Nanhuai, as for where the annual tribute of the king of Nanhuai is now... I really don't know. ”
When the old Nanhuai King heard this, his sharp eyes swept over the people present, and everyone looked anxious, saying yes again and again, and it seemed that he had not faked.
"Could it be that the head of the Zhu family did it?" Yi Xiaodao reminded on the side.
Gu Lao slowly stood up: "No, although the Zhu family is powerful, they still can't do such a thing as robbing the Sui Gong, and they don't dare to do it, let alone do it." All our families in Hangzhou are here, and they can't resist the king of Nanhuai, how can they rob a single Zhu family? Moreover, we all have our own eyes and ears in the city, and we can all know what kind of movement there is, and it is impossible for the Zhu family to hide from so many of us. ”
The old King of Nanhuai also knew that what Gu Lao said was the truth, although General Xu did not bring many soldiers and horses, he was also a powerful general in the Nanhuai army, and ordinary people could not help him. Ling Yue Pavilion did have this strength, but Ling Yue Pavilion had no reason to rob the Sui Gong at all.
Yi Xiaodao saw that the old Nanhuai King's face was a little displeased, and said casually on the side: "The annual tribute belongs to the imperial court, and now it is lost in the territory of Nanhuai... If I send another copy, maybe... The imperial court will not pursue it. ”
After this reminder, the old eyes of the old Nanhuai King suddenly brightened, and he looked at the people of the family here: "Yes, I will send another copy now, so as not to hold the court accountable." What do you think? ”
Everyone looked at each other, needless to say, they had no room for bargaining at this time, but the amount of the annual tribute was not a joke, it was eight million taels! How did you get this out? The patriarchs of all ethnic groups are all embarrassed, you look at me, I look at you, and they are speechless.
The old Nanhuai King looked at everyone's reactions, stood up and said: "I still know the background of the thousand-year-old family, the Nanhuai Wangfu is only six hundred years, and it is not too difficult to gather the annual tribute, is it difficult for you thousand-year-old families to raise a few million taels of silver?" Or do you think the old man is not qualified to talk to you, and you want to talk to the 30,000 Nanhuai troops outside? I still want to talk to the imperial court! The old Nanhuai King stopped drinking at the end of his sentence, so frightened that no one present dared to speak. As a prince for a lifetime, his majesty is undoubtedly revealed.
"The king of Nanhuai is angry, and we will make up the tribute for the year, so we will go back and make up, and ask the king of Nanhuai and Lord Yi to say a lot of good words in the court and give some time." Gu Lao stood up and became a peacemaker in a timely manner.
The old Nanhuai King looked at Yi Xiaodao to the left, and then looked at Liu Zhiyun to the right. The imperial court and Lingyue Pavilion were all out of the way at this time, and the old Nanhuai King and them had nothing to talk about at this time. As for the incident in my heart, the culprit Zhu family has disappeared, and it is not appropriate to ask these people for the crime.
Li Dingxing saw that his father was sad, and he understood that it was for his mother's business, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support his father and said, "Father, without further ado." They shouldn't have gone far yet, so let's go back and let the eldest brother lead the troops to chase them back. Presumably, all the patriarchs and seniors will also help us..."Li Dingxing glanced at everyone's reactions out of the corner of his eye.
The patriarchs of all ethnic groups scolded angrily in their hearts: "An old fox with a little fox said such things in public, isn't this putting himself on the fire and roasting? I just promised to gather the tribute, and now I have to be forced to promise to track down the Zhu family..."
Although the elders of all ethnic groups were angry, they had to agree at this time, and they had just promised to gather the annual tribute, and the eight million taels of silver had already gone out. Now if it is stiff because of this little thing, the eight million silver will be wasted, and as a family, you can't go back on your word.
Everyone had no choice but to agree, saying that they would send the children of the clan to explore the entire Nanhuai, and they would definitely be able to find out the Zhu family.
At this point, the old Nanhuai King knew that he had done enough, and if he put forward other requirements, these families might not be able to bear it, not to mention that he had nothing else to do. I had to help Li Dingxing and slowly walked out of the hall: "In this way, then please everyone, find the Zhu family first, and my Nanhuai Mansion will be thanked." ”
Hearing that there was a "heavy thanks", everyone felt relieved and came back, and hurriedly replied: "Don't dare, don't dare, the prince walks slowly." ”
Yi Xiaodao saw that everything had been negotiated, and Xiang Lian'er had also verified that it was safe, and everyone was happy, but there was still one thing in his heart. caught up with the father and son of King Nanhuai, supported the old King Nanhuai from the other side, and said, "Lord Wang, Yi has one more thing to ask for." ”
What kind of person is the old Nanhuai King, he said with a smile without waiting for Yi Xiaodao to say it: "Don't worry, Master Yi." Now that the family is willing to cooperate, what do you call it... Fang Long's little brother will be able to find it soon..."
Just when the old Nanhuai King "promised", a figure rushed down from the room, raised two feet, kicked Yi Xiaodao and Li Dingxing to both sides, stretched out a palm, and slapped it on the top of the old Nanhuai King's head.
Everything happened so fast that everyone didn't have time to react, and the old Nanhuai King was slapped to the ground, looked at Li Dingxing, and muttered: "Star... Child... Come on... Let your big brother... Don't rush... Move..."
The figure was none other than Elder Tang, who bent down and squatted down, and slashed at the back of the neck of the old Nanhuai King with his hand as a knife.
"What a gut!" Liu Zhiyun was suddenly shocked, but fortunately, he was the first person to react to the martial arts practice. She rushed out with an arrow step, and the thin sword at her waist had already been in her hand at some point, stabbing at Elder Tang's hand knife.
Yi Xiaodao also stood up with a carp, and a fire suddenly appeared in his palm, slapping towards Elder Tang's head.
Elder Tang smiled, turned his knife into a claw, grabbed the old Nanhuai King from the ground, jumped onto the city wall, and jumped a few steps in a row, avoiding the attack of the two.
"Old thing, it's time to hit the road!" Elder Tang took off the helmet of the old Nanhuai King, waved his hand knife again, and with a horizontal wave, the pale head of the old Nanhuai King was cut off from his head and fell to the city.
Li Yaoyang kept staring at the city wall of Hangzhou, and when he saw this scene, his mouth grew in shock, and he couldn't believe it. Li Dingxing fell to the ground, and when he looked up, he just happened to see the scene of the old Nanhuai King being cut off by Elder Tang.
"Daddy!!" Li Yaoyang and Li Dingxing were in the city and under the city, and shouted in unison...
