Chapter 531, a looming crisis

The general hurriedly turned over and dismounted, glanced at the black-clothed men who were escorted, and saluted Anqian: "I don't know that Miss is here, I missed the welcome, forgive my sins!" Ancy snorted. The general glanced at the black-clothed people behind Anqian again, and asked cautiously, "Miss, I don't know what's going on with those black-clothed people?" Anqian snorted coldly and said, "I'm going to ask you!" The general's heart sank, and he forced a smile: "Miss said that you are laughing, how will the last general know those people in black?" "Really? But they said it was the official army! Hmph, as an official soldier, he actually pretended to be a bandit to rob a merchant traveler, and he robbed my head, it is really an unforgivable crime! I'm going to hand them all over to my uncle!" ”

The general nodded in agreement, but his expression looked a little unnatural. Then he smiled and said, "If Zhao Tongzhi knew that Miss was coming, he would be very surprised!" Please invite the young lady to the Command Mansion, so that Zhao Commander and the last general can enjoy the friendship of the landlord! ”

Seeing that the other party was so earnest, it was not easy to refuse, and she was frightened last night, and she also wanted to rest in the Sword Pavilion. Turning around, he asked Yang Peng, "Brother Yang, how about we go to the Sword Pavilion to rest for two days before leaving?" Yang Peng nodded, looked at Luo Yanran, and asked, "Miss Luo, are you with us?" Luo Yanran said: "Since Brother Yang is going to rest for two days, Little Sister will naturally stay!" "The tone is gentle and heartwarming. Ancy frowned, very displeased. Turning his head to the general, he said, "General Lao is leading the way!" The general hurriedly agreed, then turned over and led his officers and soldiers to lead the way. The group followed closely and meandered up the plank road to enter the gate of the Sword Pavilion built of huge stones.

As soon as you enter the city gate, the prosperous scene comes to your face, on the small bluestone street, the pedestrians are bustling like weaving, the shops on both sides stretch, the flags are like clouds, all kinds of shouts are filled in the air, very noisy. This Sword Pavilion, although the scale is not large, but because it is located on the throat key in and out of Sichuan in the north, so the business and travel are gathered, very prosperous, and the small Sword Pavilion is much more prosperous than most of the state capitals!

Yang Peng said to Anqian: "Let's go to the inn and settle down first." An Qian nodded, and then said to Yang Peng gently: "Big brother can do whatever he says!" The general frowned slightly, and then said, "The last general will go and report the news of Miss's arrival to Zhao Tong!" Then he involuntarily glanced at the men in black, turned his horse's head, and led his officers and soldiers to go.

Yang Peng and his entourage escorted those black-clothed people to settle down in a large inn in the Sword Pavilion. Yang Peng and his subordinates lived in a separate courtyard, and the men in black were imprisoned in a room in the courtyard. An Qian and Luo Yanran live in two courtyards next to them.

As soon as Yang Peng sat down, the maidservants of the two young ladies came at the same time. The two women glanced at each other hostilely, and then rushed to salute Yang Peng and said, "Brother Yang, my young lady has prepared a banquet, and the special maid has come to invite her!" The two women said in unison, saying exactly the same thing, and when they finished speaking, they both glared at each other angrily. Yang Peng smiled, "I'm really flattered!" I appreciate the kindness of the two young ladies, but I have already eaten, and you go back to thank your young ladies for me. The two maidservants were very depressed when they saw Yang Peng's refusal. Luo Yanran's maidservant Yun'er said: "This is really unfortunate, the maid must bring Brother Yang's words." Anqian's maidservant Nuan'er also said: "The maid must bring Brother Yang's words to my young lady!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded. The two women saluted again and left.

Yang Peng let out a long breath. Zhao Xiang'er pursed her lips and smiled, and said to Yang Peng teasingly: "It seems that those two young ladies are interesting to the eldest brother!" Yang Peng laughed self-deprecatingly.

Yun'er and Nuan'er walked out of the courtyard together. Nuan'er glared angrily, "What are you doing with me?" Yun'er rolled her eyes and said confrontedly: "What is the smelly beauty, I will follow you?" It's you who follow me! Nuan'er snorted, with a look of contempt on her face, and said in a weird manner: "I know, your young lady also misses Brother Yang!" It's really a toad who wants to eat swan meat, and he doesn't go back to take care of himself! How could Brother Yang like a cheap woman like her! ”

Yun'er was furious, "Your young lady is a cheap woman!" Isn't it just a relative of a petty official, in the eyes of Brother Yang, it's not a fart! "The Xuanfu envoy is not a petty official, he is definitely a feudal official, but compared to Yang Peng's true identity, Yun'er's words are really true. Nuan'er was furious when she saw that the other party dared to despise her own young lady and her uncle, and immediately slapped Yun'er with a wave of her hand. Yun'er was afraid of her, and immediately slapped her back. Nuan'er pounced on Yun'er's neck, and Yun'er pinched her neck without showing weakness, and then the two rolled to the ground and scuffled together.

The voices of the two soon attracted the servants and guards of both sides. The two girls on both sides couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the two girls tearing their hair and tearing their clothes into a mess. The old men on both sides hurriedly beckoned their own people to go up and fight, but for some reason, the servants and guards on both sides actually quarreled, and then they started to fight, shouting and screaming in pain, and the scene was chaotic.

The ladies on both sides, as well as Yang Peng and others, arrived one after another, and they couldn't help but be taken aback when they saw the scene in front of them. Yang Peng took a deep breath and shouted suddenly: "Stop!" The loud sound was like thunder, and everyone was startled, and they stopped fighting one after another, looking at Yang Peng with a panicked face.

Yang Peng stepped forward and said angrily: "It's all my own people, what's so bad to say, why do you want to do it?" Neither side was silent.

Yang Peng saw Yun'er and Nuan'er, and saw that the two pretty little girls had messy hair and their clothes were torn in a mess, which was really funny and angry, and raised his voice: "No matter what it is, it's all over here, and no more things are allowed!" Although Yang Peng was not their master, what Yang Peng said made them feel that they did not dare to disobey and obey, and they all agreed. Luo Yanran and An Qian were embarrassed to come to see Yang Peng, and they went down with their own people.

Yang Peng shook his head and said, "What a mess!" Then he turned and went back. Zhao Xiang'er smiled and said to Wang Kai: "King Yan's headache is still to come!" Wang Kai didn't know what to do, and Zhao Xiang'er didn't explain and followed Yang Peng's footsteps to enter.

Luo Yanran led Yun'er back to the room. Seeing Yun'er's hair scattered and disheveled, she was angry and asked angrily, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Yun'er's mouth was deflated, and she looked like she was about to cry, and choked up: "Yes, it's that Nuan'er, she scolded Miss and beat me!" I, I'm so angry that I started with her! Luo Yanran said: "I asked you to invite Brother Yang, how could you get involved with that Nuan'er?" Also, how did the servant guards on both sides get started? Yun'er wiped her tears and sobbed: "She, she also went to invite Brother Yang, the two of us, the two of us quarreled outside the yard, she scolded Miss first, and then she did it first, and I did it!" Later, later, everyone came, and somehow, they also fought! ”

Luo Yanran roughly understood what happened, sighed, and couldn't help muttering: "This looks like Brother Yang has seen it, I really don't know what Brother Yang will think?" The words are full of apprehension. Yun'er sobbed and said, "It's obvious that they are not right first, Brother Yang is so wise, he will definitely not look down on Miss!" Luo Yanran sighed again. glanced at Yun'er, who was still wiping her tears, and said angrily: "I think that Nuan'er looks much worse than you, why do you keep crying?" Yun'er wiped a handful of tears, pouted and said, "People, people just can't help it!" Luo Yanran said in a doting tone: "Okay, let's go down and change it, this is not a proper look!" Yun'er nodded, saluted Luo Yanran, and went down.

At the same time, Nuan'er also cried in front of her own lady. Ancy listened to her narration and was furious, "Huh! What kind of thing is she, she dares to come and grab it from me! I'm sure she's going to look good! Then he wanted to use his uncle's relationship to teach that woman a good lesson. ……

The general who led Yang Peng and the others into the Sword Pavilion hurriedly entered the garrison mansion, and saw a middle-aged man in civilian clothes sitting on the top, like a civil official more than a military general, and bowed: "Subordinate Wang Kuo to meet the commander!" "It turns out that this middle-aged man who is concentrating on writing calligraphy is the garrison officer of the Sword Pavilion, Zhao Tong. This person's temperament is really not like a military general, and that handwriting, dragon flying and phoenix dance, actually has a bit of Wang Xizhi's style, which shows that his attainments in calligraphy are very extraordinary.

After Zhao Tongzhi finished writing the last word, he looked at his masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction, looking very happy. Putting down the brush, he raised his head to look at his subordinate Wang Kuo, who was standing in the west, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wang Kuo hurriedly said: "My lord, the last general saw Chen Tang just now......" Zhao Tong sighed, "Are they back?" Wang Kuo said: "I'm back, but I've been escorted back!" Zhao Tong's face changed greatly, "What? Bring it back? Who brought them back? ”

Wang Kuo said: "It's three caravans. Zhao Tongzhi was greatly annoyed, "It's simply unreasonable!" Is Chen Tang a pig? You'll be caught by a caravan! Wang Kuo said: "The number of the three caravans is seven or eight hundred, and the leader is the niece of the Xuanfu Envoy, Miss Anqian!" Zhao Tongzhi was taken aback and asked, "Is it the person who Xuanfu envoy?" Wang Kuo nodded.

Zhao Tongzhi anxiously paced back and forth, and couldn't help but say: "It's not good, it's not good!" The Xuanfu envoy and the pacification envoy have always been at odds with each other, and I am the one who pacified the envoy, and the Xuanfu envoy will definitely chase after him if he grasps such a handle! ”

Wang Kuo frowned and nodded, and said worriedly: "That's right!" If the Xuanfu envoy pursues it exhaustively, then many things will have to be exposed, and then we will be in big trouble! My lord, I think this matter must be reported to the pacification envoy immediately, and ask him to find a way to solve it! ”

Zhao Tongzhi hesitated for a while, shook his head and said, "No, if you report to the pacification envoy and ask about the cause and effect, how do you answer?" Do you want to say that we disguised ourselves as bandits to rob the merchants? How can such a thing be said? Wang Kuo also felt that these things were really difficult to tell the town envoy, and said with some embarrassment: "However, if you don't tell the town envoy, the situation will be even worse!" If they hand over Chen Tang and the others to the Xuanfu envoy, we will be finished! ”

Zhao Tong said coldly: "Then they have to be able to bring people to Chengdu!" Wang Kuo was stunned for a moment, then understood, his eyes couldn't help revealing a fierce color, and muttered: "Now it's the only way to go!" ”

Zhao Tongzhi asked, "Has Chen Tang's identity been revealed?" Wang Kuo thought for a while, shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be, otherwise they wouldn't have followed the last general to the Sword Pavilion." Chen Tang and they are also smart, and when they saw the last general, they didn't say anything. Zhao Tong nodded and said, "Then we'll give them a catch!" Kill them all, and this matter will be solved! Then he said to Wang Kuo: "Send someone to inquire about their whereabouts at once!" Wang Kuo said: "The last general has already sent someone, and he should come back now!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and the two followed the voice, only to see an officer rushing in, it was the officer sent by Wang Kuo to follow Yang Peng and them before. The officer walked quickly to the two of them and bowed, "Meet the commander, meet the commander!" Wang Kuo asked, "Where do they settle?" The officer replied, "My subordinates followed them to the outside of the Four Seas Inn, and I saw them enter the Four Seas Inn!" Later, the subordinates inquired with the shopkeeper and learned that they had rented three independent courtyards behind the passenger station. Zhao Tongzhi asked, "Chen Tang, where are they being held?" The officer said, "Commander Chen, they are all imprisoned in the bamboo garden." "The independent courtyards of the Four Seas Inn are named after plants, there are 'Bamboo Garden', there are 'Pine Garden', there are 'Chrysanthemum Garden', etc., there are nine independent courtyards, with different names, Yang Peng and his subordinates live in the 'Bamboo Garden'.

Wang Kuo said to Zhao Tong: "The Four Seas Inn is the property of the lord and the father-in-law, which is much more convenient!" Zhao Tongzhi smiled and nodded, "This is called 'Heaven has a way to go, and Hell has no door but breaks in', and they should die here!" Then he said to the officer: "You go and invite my father-in-law immediately!" The officer answered and ran down.

Soon after, a middle-aged man dressed in silk and silk and gold and jade, very rich, with a meaty face, came in. Seeing Zhao Tongzhi, he said with a smile on his face: "I don't know what you have to do when your son-in-law summons you?" Zhao Tongzhi smiled and saluted the middle-aged man, and said, "There is something I want to ask my father-in-law for help!" The middle-aged man patted his chest and said arrogantly: "What does Xianxu command, just say it!" Zhao Tongzhi walked next to the middle-aged man and whispered: "I want to deal with the people who live in Yuezhang's inn, I want to ask Yuezhang to help, and you will sweat medicine on their food!" ……”

Hao Kui, the father-in-law of Zhao's command, returned to the Four Seas Inn, called the shopkeeper of the inn aside, and gave a careful order. The latter said yes and went down.

In the evening, the two Xiaoer sent the wine and food that Yang Peng and they wanted to the back yard. Not long after, a roe deer ran to the front hall and whispered to Hao Kui: "Master, they have eaten all the wine and food, and they all slept like dead pigs!" Hao Kui was very happy and said with a smile: "This matter is too easy!" Go and tell the ruler outside, that he will bring men in and fetch them at once. Xiao Er answered and ran down.

Xiao Er came out of the inn and went straight into the alley next to the inn, at this time, Wang Kuozheng led a thousand officers and soldiers to hide here. As soon as Xiao Er saw Wang Kuo, he said: "Commander Wang, you have succeeded, you can go and get people!" Wang Kuo immediately led a thousand officers and soldiers under his command into the inn, and the other guests in the inn suddenly saw these many officers and soldiers rushing in, and they were greatly frightened.

The officers and soldiers went straight to the back, and then divided into caravans and rushed into three courtyards. Hao Kui and Xiao Er followed Wang Kuo into the 'bamboo garden' where Yang Peng lived.

A large group of people poured into the bamboo garden and rushed into the rooms, only to be surprised to find that the rooms were empty and there was no one. Wang Kuo was puzzled and asked Hao Kui and the shopkeeper: "What about people?" Hao Kui asked the shopkeeper angrily: "Didn't you say that they all fell?" Why is there no one? The shopkeeper said in confusion: "I did see them fall with my own eyes!" How, how could this be? ”

At this moment, a huge shout suddenly came from all directions, and at the same time, the screams rang out one after another. The three of them were taken aback, and hurriedly ran out of the room, and saw that their own personnel were being shot to the ground by flying arrows, and countless people appeared on the surrounding roofs, walls, and bamboo forests, and they were bending their bows and arrows and shooting non-stop, and the locust-like arrows were flying all over the sky.

Wang Kuo and the others were terrified and at the same time felt incredulous. They don't understand how the other party knew about their intentions, and they didn't run away, and they dared to ambush the officers and soldiers on the spot?! It's incredible!

In the moment when the three of them were stunned, the officers and soldiers suffered a lot of casualties. Wang Kuo saw that there was no way to go on like this, so he immediately shouted: "Everyone rush out!" When the officers and soldiers heard his voice, they immediately felt a backbone, and subconsciously rushed towards the arch door that came in. However, before he reached the door, he saw a man and a horse rushing towards him, and he only felt that the horse was like a dragon and a tiger, majestic and unstoppable. Everyone stopped in shock. The knight slammed into the middle of the officers and soldiers, trampled with iron hooves, swept with spears, and killed the officers and soldiers to scatter their corpses and blood, and all the officers and soldiers were terrified and fled in all directions.

At this time, those big men who were ambushed in all directions put down their bows and arrows, drew their long knives and rushed up, crashing into the middle of the officers and soldiers and killing them. The officers and soldiers were panicking, where could they withstand such a fierce killing by the other party, and in an instant, the stars were scattered, chickens and dogs jumped and ran around like headless flies!

Wang Kuo and the others were terrified to the extreme, and wanted to escape, but they didn't know where to flee for a while. At this moment, I saw that terrible knight rushing to the front of the army. Wang Kuo subconsciously wanted to resist, but saw a cold light flash in front of him, and then he was shocked to find that the other party's spear had reached his throat! Wang Kuo was so frightened that he didn't dare to move! Hao Kui and the shopkeeper were pale, shrunk aside, and didn't dare to come out.

Yang Peng shouted: "Surrender or kill!" The hidden killers and caravan guards also shouted: "Surrender and don't kill, surrender and don't kill!" The officers and soldiers had nowhere to escape, and when they heard such shouts, the desire to survive overcame everything, and they subconsciously threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

Yang Peng ordered the captives to gather together, tie them with ropes, and watch them up. Yang Peng pulled Wang Kuo out, kicked him in the ass, and shouted: "Go back and tell Zhao Jue that Lao Tzu is not easy to mess with, tell him to recruit Fang Liang!" If you provoke Lao Tzu again, you will cut off his dog's head! Wang Kuo was pardoned, and ran out with a rolling belt.

Hao Kui plucked up his courage and said, "Hero, I, I'm just the owner of this store, just let me go!" Yang Peng looked at him and smiled coldly. Hao Kui was terrified, swallowed his saliva, and only felt that he had never seen such a terrible character in his life. Then I wondered in my heart: how could there be such a terrible figure in the caravan?

Wang Kai and Zhao Xiang'er rushed in and reported: "The master (big brother), it's all solved!" Yang Peng nodded and said to Zhao Xiang'er: "You stay in the inn and guard the prisoners!" Zhao Xiang'er hugged her fists and promised, and Yang Peng raised her voice and said, "The others come with me!" Then he turned over and left the courtyard, and the others followed.

At this time, in an inn near the Four Seas Inn, An Qian said with a pale face: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that Zhao Jue would really dare to do it?" He's so daring! Then he said worriedly: "I don't know what the situation is at the inn?" ”

Luo Yanran, who was sitting not far away, said: "Don't worry, just with Zhao Jue's third-rate goods, he is not worthy of stuffing Brother Yang's teeth!" ”

Anqian snorted and asked angrily, "How do you know?" Yun'er said proudly: "Brother Yang and our young lady have known each other for a long time, and our young lady is naturally clear about Brother Yang's affairs!" Miss An, if you want to know anything about Brother Yang, you can come and ask our young lady! ”

Ancy was so jealous that she snorted. At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. The two women were shocked and stood up. Ancy raised her voice and asked, "Who is it?" The outside replied, "I am Brother Yangmu's subordinate!" Yun'er and Nuan'er rushed over and opened the door, only to see a big man under Brother Yang standing at the door. The two girls stepped aside, and the big man walked in, saluted Luo Yanran and An Qian, and said, "The villain was ordered to tell the two young ladies that the enemies who attacked the inn have been eliminated!" The two girls breathed a sigh of relief, and Anqian exclaimed, "Brother Yang is really amazing!" Luo Yanran asked, "Can we go back?" Dahan said: "Brother Yang Mu wants the villain to tell the two young ladies, the matter is not over yet, please don't worry, stay here for the time being, the matter is solved, and someone will be sent to inform the two young ladies!" ”

When the two girls heard this, they couldn't help but be worried. Luo Yanran said worriedly: "I'm afraid that Zhao Jue won't give up!" Ann Qian's face changed, and she looked very panicked.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
