Chapter 47: Blood Splattered Luoyang City
The little herald was much more arrogant when someone supported him, and he thought he could bluff everyone by moving out of the name of the prince, but the king of Jin in front of him didn't give him face, or he didn't give the prince face.
The herald gritted his teeth and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, don't embarrass me, I came here on the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, if you don't respect it, you will ignore His Royal Highness the Prince's order." β
"I'd like to see what you can do to me if I don't go?"
The elite soldiers brought by Yang Guang's voice fell one after another, putting their hands on the knife and preparing to unsheath it at any time, and the atmosphere became tense for a while.
The arrogant herald immediately died down, lost his arrogance, softened and said: "His Royal Highness King Jin, I am just a little herald, why do you embarrass me? β
"A little herald? I don't think so, this king is still standing with you, a little herald, but riding a tall horse and giving orders condescendingly. β
Hearing this, the little soldier immediately dismounted, and stepped forward with a flattering smile, and the people behind him naturally dismounted.
The herald was instructed by the prince to deliberately embarrass the king of Jin, but the king of Jin is a hard bone he can't gnaw on, and the herald who doesn't know how to be flexible is an arrow, and everyone has to let him if he really takes the name of the prince.
The herald was about to approach Yang Guang, but Li Feng and other guards stopped him.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, this is the document of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The herald handed it with respectful hands.
Yang Guang didn't mean to answer: "I still appreciate your unruly appearance before." β
The herald smiled: "It's a villain, you shouldn't be." β
"If the apology is useful, what is the use of the law, today the king is entertaining guests at the Peiguo Mansion, and he is disturbed, and the little herald is still suspected of committing a crime, so the letter from this person is believed by the king?"
Yang Guang took the letter handed over by the guard, didn't look at it, and tore it directly.
"Li Feng caught this thief who pretended to be the prince's herald and went to prison for interrogation, to see which one gave him so much courage to pretend to be the prince's subordinates."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Li Feng immediately led people to take down the three heralds, and the herald shouted: "Your Highness, you can't wait for me like this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows ......"
"If you know, you'll know."
Yang Guangman waved his hand nonchalantly to let them take them down, and then said to Zheng Yi: "Uncle, in order to interrogate this bold thief, you may have to borrow a prison in the city. β
Zheng Yi is not a person who is afraid of things, and immediately said: "Your Highness can use it with peace of mind, I will send someone to say hello." β
The two returned to the mansion, and Yang Guang said: "The good banquet was disturbed by a few big-headed soldiers who were not long-eyed. β
Zheng Yi smiled gently: "Your Highness's banquet is small, and the short-sighted herald dares to deliberately embarrass His Highness, and he must be punished well, but His Highness, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince explain it?" β
"Since you have come to shout, you have to go, let's leave for Luoyang tomorrow morning."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so embarrassed, Your Highness, I am afraid that you will inevitably be embarrassed when you go to Luoyang, Your Highness, you ......"
"Uncle, I'll still be able to handle it."
Yang Guang said this, and Zheng Yi didn't say much.
Early the next morning, Yang Guang was ready to set off with his troops, and at the gate of the city, Zheng Yi was expecting another team of men and horses to come.
There were no greetings, Zheng Yi said directly: "Your Highness, you asked some of the soldiers to send Yu Wenkai back first yesterday, and now your team is not satisfied, according to the establishment of the King of the Great Sui, I am here to make up for the scale of the soldiers accompanying you." β
Zheng Yi was afraid that Yang Guang's soldiers would not suffer enough, Yang Guang smiled and said: "Uncle friendship, I keep it in my heart, uncle take care of it, and come to see you and your aunt after having some fun." β
"His Royal Highness King Jin has a good journey."
Zheng Yi is a person who has been in the center of power for many years, and it is not necessarily true that you say that he is completely on the side of Yang Guang now, it will only be a multi-party trade-off, and he will definitely not offend Yang Yong head-on.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Under the city gate of Luoyang, Yang Yong waited for Yang Guang for one more day than expected.
When he saw Yang Guang's team thinking about the city gate, Yang Yong immediately ordered the gate of Luoyang City to be closed.
The city gate was closed, Yang Guang was not allowed to enter the city, and Li Feng, who was riding a horse, shouted: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin of the Great Sui has arrived in Luoyang City, open the door quickly." β
Yang Yong did not appear on the tower of the city gate, but the general who defended the city poked his head out.
"Whoever comes from the city with his troops, retreat quickly."
Yang Guang smiled disdainfully, Yang Yong always likes to engage in these small actions to respond to people, naΓ―ve and boring, and he can only have the upper hand in this kind of thing for a while.
Li Feng shouted: "This is His Royal Highness the King of Jin of the Great Sui Dynasty, open your eyes and take a good look." β
"I haven't been ordered, and I haven't passed it on, I don't know about it, please go into Wengcheng to check."
The urn city is a small Guo city at the gate of the city wall, it is a very important city defense facility, once the city gate before and after entering the urn city is closed, it really becomes the turtle in the urn, and it is naturally impossible to enter the urn city to be checked by them.
Yang Guang felt that Yang Yong didn't have the courage to really do it to himself, but a gentleman couldn't take risks if he didn't stand under the dangerous wall.
Yang Guang walked out by himself and asked the soldiers on the city wall: "I am Yang Guang, the king of Jin, who is the person who guards the city?" β
"The last general Li Dang, please forgive me, the last general did not get any news, the king of Jin is going to enter the city, in order to prevent someone from pretending to be routine business, please enter the urn city for inspection, and the accompanying soldiers will unload their armor and enter the city."
Li Feng anxiously came to Yang Guang's side: "Your Highness, you must not." β
"I know I'm bringing those heralds from yesterday."
Yesterday's heralds were tied up and taken to the city gate, kneeling in the direction of the city gate, with some injuries on their bodies, and tortured.
They all confessed that it was the prince who asked them to deliberately disgust Yang Guang.
General Li said that he had not received the news and had not informed the king in advance that he was going to enter the palace, but the king had met these three heralds before and said that the prince invited the king to enter Luoyang City."
Yang Guang smiled disdainfully and continued: "I'll just say that the three thieves don't look like a good person, His Royal Highness the Prince's command are all wise and martial soldiers, how can there be this kind of thief version of the soldiers, since there is no communication in advance, it means that these people are pretending to be the prince's subordinates to convey letters, this is a capital crime, come to someone, go to the knife." β
Li Feng sneered, and the long knife came out of its sheath, and the bright sharp blade shone brightly in the sun.
Yang Guang took a step back slightly and said, "General Li and these people are the people who pretend to be the prince and send false information, do you recognize them?" β
Li Dang looked at the three people who were arrested at the city gate, he never thought that Yang Guang would arrest the herald, and Yang Yong, who was not far behind him, looked ugly.
Why didn't Yang Guang take every step of the way he preset.
He wanted to embarrass Yang Guang to see him make a fool of himself, but now he was embarrassed.
Li Dang took a step back and whispered, "His Royal Highness the Prince, those are all your subordinates, you can't see death without saving it." β
"Isn't it just sitting down now that I'm deliberately making things difficult, no."
Li Dang said anxiously: "But in this case, King Jin will really do it." β
"Hmph, he doesn't have the guts, but he's just scared."
Yang Guang under the city continued to shout: "General Li, confirm that you don't know these three people." β
"Naturally, it doesn't ...... I don't know. β
"If you don't know, it's simple, Li Feng will do it."
Li Feng raised the knife high, the reflected sunlight was very dazzling, and his hand raised and fell.
"Wait......"
Li Dang, the guard on the city wall, still couldn't hold back his shouting.
But Li Feng's knife couldn't stop, the knife was very sharp, and when the knife went down, the head fell to the ground, and the blood splashed, and the herald's head rolled twice on the ground, and his eyes looked at the city wall viciously, and then he lost his life.
It's too late, and I can only pay attention to it in the next life.
Blood spattered at the city gate, Li Dang on the city wall didn't know what to do, the prince clenched his fists now, and he didn't know what to do, he didn't expect Yang Guang to really kill people in front of the city gate.
Yang Guang shouted at Li Dang on the city wall: "Since it is a person who pretends to be a liar, it is not a pity to die, why is General Li shouting and so on." β
Li Dang is panicking now, judging from his performance just now, the prince will not come forward for his subordinates, it is his own subordinates brought out from the capital, as if this life can be sacrificed at any time in exchange for benefits.
Doing things for the prince may be regarded as an outcast by the prince, and he is an outcast who has no idea of rescue.
The reason why he chose to help the prince at the beginning was very simple, he was an ordinary guard in the city, and the prince naturally couldn't ask for it when he came to woo him, even if he offended the king of Jin, he could make money no matter how he could please the prince, and his future prospects were unlimited.
But in today's confrontation, he understood that the prince was cold-blooded, the king of Jin was ruthless, and he really shouldn't be involved in this kind of contradiction between the royal children.
Mingzhe protects himself, and no one wants to be an outcast.
Li Dang's tone softened immediately: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, please calm your anger, blood splashing Luoyang City is not good for you, the last general will send someone to ask if there is a mistake in the inner city, and please wait a while." β
Facing the softness in the guard's tone, Yang Guang didn't think that this was the prince behind him who bowed his head when he saw that he was killing, the prince was not such a person.
"Go, I'll give you a quarter of an hour, if you don't come back in a quarter of an hour, I'll go back to Daxing City directly."
Li Dang turned around, and the prince behind him turned pale, and reprimanded: "Who allows you to make an assertion." β
Li Dang's face was ugly, but he squeezed out a flattering expression: "His Royal Highness the Prince, let His Royal Highness the King of Jin kill people under the city like this, and the news will be transmitted back to Daxing City, and Your Majesty will not be able to get rid of it if he blames us." β
"With me on top, what are you afraid of?"
Yang Guang said this, Li Dang was even more afraid, will the prince stand up to it? I'm afraid it's their fate.
Li Dang didn't know what to do, and at this time a voice sounded: "Open the city gate." β
Everyone turned around and looked, and Yuan Xiao had arrived.
With his approval, Li Dang went down and ordered someone to open the city gate.
Yang Yong looked at his father-in-law suspiciously.
Yuan Xiaoyuan said to Yang Yong earnestly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you have to use different ways for different people, the King of Jin has always been a person who has never suffered a loss, Your Highness, I am afraid it will be difficult to get benefits from a head-to-head confrontation with him." β
"So what do you say?"
"What does King Jin care about the most?"
"The second child has always pretended, and I don't know."
"People who love to pretend are naturally most cherished by fame? Moreover, the king of Jin attached great importance to his own reputation among the people. β
