Chapter 374: The Hot Jade Seal
The jade seal of the country is a double-edged sword!
Wang Jin knew it from the time he got it, so he threw it out. Zeng Toushi didn't know that it was a trap, thinking that he had a baby and was complacent, and he was excited. Even if you run a big guy Yu Baosi, it doesn't hurt.
They thought that others didn't know that they had jade seals, but everyone in the world knew that they went to the palace to steal, but they didn't know that others knew.
So indulge in joy and sweet dreams!
But as we move into May, the weather gets hotter. Before waiting for the baby jade seal to be sent to the northern Dajin Kingdom, Wanyan Agu was beaten to ask for merit. Zeng Rong, the actual controller of Zengtou City, sensed that something was wrong.
First of all, the originally lively market town has become more and more deserted, and in the past, the Duanyang Festival was approaching and lively. Not to mention the rest of the caravans transporting goods at the moment, there are not even people who come to sell lotus lanterns and sing acrobatics.
The second is that someone drove the cattle and sheep to graze, and then they never returned. In the next few days, more than 10 families came to report, and several groups of people were sent to search, as if a stone had sunk into the sea and there was no return, which made Zengtou City alert or panic.
The last point is that there are many strangers wandering around Zengtou City. When the team of Zengtou City approached, they turned into birds and beasts and disappeared without a trace. Sometimes, when there are fewer pursuers, they will be attacked and killed on the spot.
This is the case in all directions of Zengtou City!
"This is not normal!" Zeng Lane gathered a few more sons, his face full of solemnity. Since getting the jade seal of the country, Shi Wengong and Su Ding, the deputy teachers of Zhuangshang, have gradually been alienated. There is no opportunity to participate in such a meeting.
"Father, could it be that Yu Baosi made a ghost?" Zeng Tu asked suspiciously.
Zeng Lang nodded,
sighed: "Now it seems that most of the time." Rumors spread everywhere, saying that the jade seal was in Zengtou City, attracting cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods. ”
"What am I talking about?" Zeng Mi stomped his feet fiercely: "He doesn't know the jade seal." You had to kill them, but you let them run away and cause a commotion. ”
"Okay, let's talk about it when it happens!" The boss once scolded his brother and emphasized solemnly: "The top priority at the moment is how to deal with it? ”
"Yes, big brother is right!" Zeng Kui and Zeng Sheng echoed one after another. The old guy looked at his eldest son, and his face was relieved.
Seeing this, Zeng Mi didn't want to say more, so he changed the topic: "The situation around modern times is unknown, and the number of enemies is not clear, so there should be a lot of people." ”
"Father, the current situation is not good, why don't you invite the teacher over to discuss?" Zeng Tu thought of Shi Wengong, a brave and resourceful teacher, and thought about the proposal.
"No, I didn't tell it before, but now I say it, but it adds mustard." Zeng Lang was also a little moved, but he shook his head after a moment of silence.
"What do you think you should do?"
"Yes, people are afraid that something will happen sooner or later."
"Father, why don't we take the initiative?"
"No! We do not know the enemy's situation, so as to avoid being scattered and ambushed. Tell the men to assemble, and each of you will bring someone to guard against it. At the same time, he made preparations with both hands, asked for help from the Song court, and contacted the north. ”
has lived for most of his life, and he has become old and fine. I can't say that he is a wise man, but he is also experienced. The command is in good order and acts separately. The five tigers of the Zeng family are simple-minded and reckless, and they think that their father is very capable.
And Zeng Tou City's approach is correct.
There are currently enemies in all directions
Person. To the north is Tianhu's 5,000 army, to the west is 2,000 cavalry from Baoqi Mountain, to the east is Liangshanbo's 3,000 elites, and to the south is Wang Qing's 3,000 minions. In addition, there are people from all walks of life who rushed over from all walks of life, and the number is about three or two thousand, as if surrounded by groups.
Zengtou City is a tyrant in Lingzhou, and its own strength should not be underestimated. Of the high-rollers from all sides, none of them were the first to come out. Until more and more people rushed over, occupying the advantage, many people were bold and eager to try.
Hedong Tianhu has the largest number of people, the strongest strength, and the most arrogant. Taking advantage of the night, he took the lead in attacking Zengtou City. Wang Qing was anxious to establish his authority and was not to be outdone. After shouting for two quarters of an hour from the north, they attacked from the south, trying to flank the north and south.
The Shuibo Liangshan in the west and the cavalry of Baoqi Mountain in the east were invariably thrown in at the same time. The strongmen and thieves on the big and small hills seized the opportunity to cut into the cracks and rob the house. plundering gold, silver, money, cattle, sheep, and livestock. However, the city of Zengtou was outnumbered and mostly cavalry, relying on the terrain to beat the enemy.
The five tigers of the Zeng family are really fierce, and all of them are strong in martial arts. The Jurchens are indeed brave and good at fighting, and they are not afraid of death, even if they divide their troops to meet the enemy, they have an advantage.
It's a pity that there are many strong people on all sides, such as Dong Cheng, Wu Li, Zhu Jing, etc. under Tian Hu. Wang Qing took Tengji, He Ji, and Ouyang Shoutong, Ni Lin, Wen Zhongrong, and Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong in Liangshan, and there were also many masters in each mountain. Each exhibition can fight to the death with Zengtou City.
The market town was full of shouts of killing, and the two sides fought fiercely.
At dawn, there was no cover of darkness and night, and there were losses for each other, so they each led their troops to retreat.
The biggest loss is still Zengtou City, even though the Jurchens are brave and good at fighting, but they can't stand the many enemies and schemes
Stacked out. In addition, the whole family was there, and the house was set on fire, burning one by one, and the spreading fire burned a lot.
The sky was bright, and the bustling Zengtou City was ruined, and the corpses were scattered. The deserted streets, the smoky houses, the indescribable desolation!
In one night, thousands of people died, and two or three thousand were wounded. I had a premonition that a catastrophe was coming. Awakening that piece of jade seal is not a merit, but a life talisman.
At the same time, the two teachers in Zengtou City, Shi Wengong and Su Ding, encountered difficulties. During this time, he was alienated, left out in the cold, and was full of doubts. But since he heard that Zeng Tou City had stolen the heirloom jade seal in the palace, he suddenly realized.
No wonder Zeng Toushi has repeatedly taken action to avoid himself, no wonder he wanted to hunt down his partner Yu Baosi that night, it turned out to be really murderous. There was a fight last night, and the Zeng family did not come to squeak from beginning to end.
As if the two masters didn't exist!
What's even more chilling is that there are quite a few people secretly watching around their residence. Although it is well hidden, how can it be hidden from the two of them?
"Brother, you and I are outsiders after all!" Su Ding's voice was hoarse, and he said in a low voice: "We don't know, so we didn't have to be killed like Yu Baosi and others." ”
Shi Wengong looked a little confused, and didn't answer for a long time. Inexplicably, I remembered that Wang Jin laughed at him and said that he was Zeng Wengong, thinking about what Zeng Tou City did, it was not my race, and his heart would be different.
"Hey, hey, how are the two teachers worried?"
Strange laughter suddenly sounded in the room, and Shi Wengong and Su Ding turned their heads to look. I was shocked to find that there was a small man in the room at some point.
"Who are you? How did it appear here? Shi Wengong subconsciously touched the knife. Su fixed his body
It is also leaning forward slightly, and it can hurt people at any time.
"Two, the younger brother has moved from time to time, and he specially came to save the two teachers." The little man with rat eyebrows and rat eyes and sharp-beaked monkey gills is just the time to drum up the flea. Seeing that Shi Wengong and Su Ding were not looking good, they waved their hands again and again, and then said earnestly.
"The jade seal of the country was stolen by Zengtou City and intended to be given to Emperor Taizu of the Dajin Kingdom. aroused the anger of the people on the rivers and lakes, and the strongmen from all walks of life said less than 30,000 or 20,000 people. The imperial court was also furious, and sent a large army to escort the angels to Lingzhou, ordering the recovery of the jade seal and the expulsion of the Jurchens. ”
Shi Wengong and Su Ding contracted violently, indicating that their hearts were not at peace.
"How true are you?" Su Ding calmed down and asked in a hoarse voice.
"The court will come in three days at the latest." Shi Qian swore and said: "Jurchens, ungrateful, wolf-ambitious people, when you need you, the teacher shouts, don't abandon them like a shoe, like an outsider." Look at it! They suffered a loss last night, and they will come back soon to ask you to ......"
"Master, master, disaster is ......" As soon as the words fell, a familiar shout came from outside, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps. Shi Wengong and Su Ding looked at each other in astonishment, and then turned around, only to find that Shi Qian did not know where to go. Only a two-finger-wide note floated in front of Shi Wengong's eyes.
