Jingnan Hou
Just when the stone was about to hit Zheng Fan's head,
A low cry came:
"Magic pill, do you want to kill us!"
"Buzz!"
The stone began to slow down, and finally, it stopped in front of Zheng Fan's forehead, perhaps because the deceleration was too fast, resulting in a faint smell of burning in the air, and even the bangs on Zheng Fan's forehead were scalded.
Zuo Jiqian heard the voice behind him, and he was lying on the ground and subconsciously wanted to turn his head and look back.
"Bang!"
Ah Ming kicked him in the head,
Zuo Jiqian, who was already injured, was directly kicked and fainted.
"He's your father!"
Ah Ming clutched his left hand and shouted.
His left hand had turned blue-purple, apparently gathering the venom that had spread after the needle on his body had been suppressed there.
At this time, a slightly immature child's voice came from among the stones:
"I'm doing what I'm told."
"Obey? Listen to whom? Ah Ming asked.
"I............ Father's life. ”
The word father was bitten out, and he said it extremely reluctantly.
Ah Ming looked at Zheng Fan with some doubts, and Zheng Fan also looked at Ah Ming with some doubts, saying that he didn't want to give this kind of order.
He said...... Son, smash! ”
"............" Zheng Fan.
……
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
A group of cavalry hurried over and gathered at the north gate of Nanwang City.
The guards at the city gate of the north tower immediately closed the city gate, and a group of archers at the city gate were already in place, and the captain of the north gate guard even pulled out his saber and shouted to the army below that was obviously the same as the Yan army:
"Who is coming, why is it attacking the tower!"
Then
Among the incoming troops, a middle-aged man wearing a black cloak and gilded armor slowly urged the beast under his crotch out of battle.
Dayan tradition, look at people first and look at horses.
Generally, the higher the status, the better the quality of the beast, this middle-aged man has four legs under the crotch, the physique is amazing, and there are three long black horns on the head, exuding a vicious aura around the body.
simply threw the unicorn under Xu Wenzu's crotch out of eighteen streets in terms of quality.
The middle-aged man did not report his identity,
But this armor and this mount,
In fact, many soldiers on the city gate have recognized their identities,
The captain of the city guard opened his mouth even more,
"Hou ............ Hou Ye ......"
The man raised the purple-gold token in his hand,
Raised his voice:
"There are rebels in Nanwang City who are plotting rebellion, and Ben Hou led the army into the city to quell the chaos, but those who obstruct it are regarded as chaotic thieves and henchmen, and they will be killed!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Behind him, thousands of cavalry raised their blades together and shouted in unison.
The title system of the four major countries is different, and the marquis is the top on the side of Dayan, and non-royal families are not allowed to be crowned kings.
The first marquis of Dayan, naturally the marquis of Zhenbei, under the command of the Hou Mansion, 300,000 Zhenbei troops, suppressed the barbarians for a hundred years;
However, in the south of Dayan, there is also a Marquis of Jingnan, who is in charge of 50,000 Jingnan troops.
In fact, the real south is located in the south for the Great Yan to guard the front line of the country, has never been the Nanwangcheng as the core of the fortress system, the Yan people are good at attacking but not good at defending, even in the most difficult years in the face of the strongest barbarian royal court, the Yan people also take the initiative to attack the barbarian cavalry frontal battle.
What is really regarded as the greatest threat by the border towns of Qianguo is the 50,000 Jingnan Army.
There were 50,000 Jingnan troops in the army, and even if the border defense line of Yan State was completely abolished, the Qianguo army would not dare to go north easily.
Once there are more people in the Northern Expedition, the Jingnan Army can rely on the mobility of its cavalry to fight or retreat, detour or intercept calmly, which is enough to win Dayan to transfer troops from other places to meet the battle.
It's just that, unlike the Zhenbei Marquis, the Ji family doesn't want to create another Zhenbei Hou Mansion, so each generation of Jingnan Marquis is canonized by the emperor himself.
When it is time to return to the hometown or when the new emperor needs to install his cronies when he ascends the throne, the position of the Marquis of Jingnan will be changed in the same way as the position of the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor.
The original reigning Marquis of Jingnan will retain the marquis, but it will no longer be called Marquis of Jingnan, and the new Marquis of Jingnan will appear and sit in that position.
Therefore, the Jingnan Army, which is routinely equipped with 50,000, is actually more like a forbidden army that is not in the capital, and the Marquis of Jingnan is more like an official position than a title.
This generation of Jingnan Marquis is the younger brother of the queen's mother, that is, the uncle of the dynasty, and soon after this generation of Emperor Yan ascended the throne, he was named Jingnan Marquis and was in charge of the Jingnan Army.
"My lord, we ...... Can we open the gates? ”
A centurion asked the captain standing beside him.
After looking back at the city gate with some concern, the captain of the city guard also sensed the change on the side of the General Army's Mansion, and the city defense army had also been transferred.
But at this time, the Marquis of Jingnan led his army to enter Nanwangcheng......
The military and political division of the Yan State and the nominal non-interference with each other are basically useless in Beifeng County, and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is actually the soil emperor of Beifeng County, but in other places, it is implemented very well.
The Marquis of Jingnan can only lead the army to be stationed in the camp of the Jingnan Army on weekdays, because it is not hereditary, so he does not have a Hou Mansion.
Facing the pressure given by the Jingnan Army under the city tower,
The captain of the city guard gritted his teeth,
Road:
"Order, open the city gate, let the Jingnan army in, I don't believe it, Uncle Guo will rebel!"
The gates of the city were slowly opened,
The Marquis of Jingnan took the lead and rushed into the city gate, and behind him, the rolling iron cavalry of the Jingnan Army followed the fish.
As soon as I entered the city,
The Marquis of Jing Nan ordered his generals:
"Immediately master the four gates of Nanwang City, seal the treasury, and implement a street ban!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Under the leadership of their respective generals, the Jingnan Army began to fully disarm the defenders of Nanwangcheng, and all the key points and treasury were also controlled by the Jingnan Army.
While these things are in progress,
The Marquis of Jing Nan himself did not delay in the slightest, and led his personal guards to rush directly to the General Military Mansion.
The outside of the general army's mansion has been surrounded and controlled by the city defense army, and the general of the city defense army led by the city immediately knelt down and saluted the person after seeing the gilt armor and the beast under the crotch of the comer.
"See Master Hou!"
"See Master Hou!"
"You will immediately lead the army back to the camp, and you must not leave the camp without the order of the Hou Army, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"
Although the guards of the city defense army did not know why the Jingnan army suddenly entered the city, and it was not clear why the Marquis of Jingnan had to surrender everyone's weapons as soon as he came up, but because Xiao Dahai, the chief soldier of Nanwang City, had just passed away, and the prefect of Nanwang City was also killed by assassins in the previous chaos, so at this time, looking at the entire Nanwang City, there was no one who could have the qualifications to talk to Jingnan Hou in the official face.
Therefore, the city defense army did not resist, and under the restraint of its generals, they disarmed the Jingnan army and began to return to the camp at the same time.
The Marquis of Jingnan himself turned over and got off the beast, surrounded by a group of guards, and went straight to the general military mansion.
The palace of the general army has been completely controlled by the Jingnan army, and the rows of Jingnan army soldiers have been completely controlled around it, and the doctors in the city have been called to treat the wounded in the palace.
"How are the wounded?" Jing Nanhou opened his mouth and asked the lieutenant who came in first.
"Back to the Hou Ye, the assassin hid in the coffin first, and shot out the hidden weapon when everyone was mourning, and the needle was poisonous."
"Can it be saved?"
"If you go back to the Hou Ye, some people can be saved, and some people who are not physically strong or have other diseases may be ........."
"Heh......"
Jing Nanhou turned to ask:
"Have the assassins been caught?"
"Twenty-six assassins were killed, and none of them survived."
"No life?"
"Yes, there are no survivors, and a few assassins who disguised themselves as Taoist priests committed suicide by poisoning after being seriously injured."
"Heh, twenty-six assassins, twenty-six Deadpools, when did this Great Yannan Wangcheng General Soldier's Mansion actually become a den of thieves, and there are so many hidden in one hiding.
Captain Chu. ”
"The last general!"
"Pass my order, search the whole city, Ben Hou doesn't believe it, he can make such a big fuss, he can arrange an ambush in the general army's mansion, there will be no assassins in this city!
No matter who it is, no matter which one,
If anyone is found to be implicated, he will be imprisoned immediately, dare to obstruct him, and exterminate his family! ”
"The last general obeys!"
When you have finished commanding things,
Jing Nanhou walked to the mourning hall,
On the mourning hall, the head of the prefect was placed on the offering table, and the surrounding area was covered with blood.
Fortunately, the dead and wounded have been transferred to other places in the house for resettlement and rescue, so the mourning hall seems to be a lot quieter, and it really has the atmosphere of the mourning hall.
Jing Nanhou stretched out his hand to take off three incense sticks, lit them, bowed, and inserted them into the incense burner.
At this time, a lieutenant came up and said:
"Master Hou, the sergeants found the body of Lord Xiao, the chief soldier of Nanwang City, in the toilet in the mansion."
"Hmm."
Jing Nanhou closed his eyes, answered, and said slowly:
"Lord Xiao must have been harmed by the assassins, so there is no need to hand it over to the servants to toss, give our chief military officer of the Great Yan Kingdom some face, and take care of the burial first.
That's right......"
Jing Nanhou stretched out his hand and picked up the head of the prefect,
Lost to the lieutenant,
Continued:
"The head of the prefect should be returned to his family first, and then find a few good tailors in the city and sew them."
"Yes."
The lieutenant went down, and not long after, another lieutenant stepped forward and said:
"Master Hou, the assassin's corpse has been verified."
"Verify? Who verifies it? ”
"Back to the Hou Ye, when the assassin made his move, there were two guards in the mourning hall, and they then slammed the guards of the General Military Mansion and killed the assassin."
"Oh?"
Jingnanhou seemed to be a little surprised,
Turn around
A few steps forward,
On the blood-stained steps at the main entrance of the mourning hall, he sat down with a golden sword.
"Bring the two of them up to Ben Hou."
"Yes!"
soon
Zheng Fan, under the guidance of a group of Jingnan soldiers, met the Marquis of Jinnan, who was sitting on the steps of the main gate of Lingtang.
Zheng Fan's white cultural robe has been dyed red by snow, but this snow-dyed style is also a good match.
Zuo Jiqian looked a little embarrassed, his left arm was bandaged, and his brain belt was bandaged, although the real handsome guy is handsome even if he shaves his head, but no matter how handsome the handsome guy loses too much snow and puts on a bandage, it will be called a hell of a life.
The two of them stood together,
The distinction is obvious.
After all, no one would tell Jing Nanhou and the others the details of the assassin before in advance, and those who have been behind as head dogs must have a good record of thieves.
"The last general Cuiliu Fort is guarded, Zheng Fan, see Master Hou!"
"The last general Ji retreated from the fort and moved to the left, see Lord Hou!"
The two knelt down on one knee together and saluted Jingnan Hou.
Jing Nanhou asked while playing with the jade wrench in his hand:
"Left Jiqian? The people of the Huwei Zuo family? ”
When Zuo Jiqian heard this, he immediately kowtowed again and said:
"It's the Huwei Zuo family."
The characteristics of gate valve politics are here, first talk about the family background, the family background is equal, and the family background is brilliant, which is the biggest stepping stone and the qualification to go to the table.
"Old man Zuo's body is okay?" Jing Nanhou asked.
Old man Zuo must be the contemporary patriarch of the Zuo family.
"Back to Hou Ye, grandpa's body is quite tough, and when the last general is at home, he often hears grandpa mention Hou Ye."
It's not even a cold door,
Oh no
It was Comrade Zheng Fan, the head of Qian, who didn't even have a door, kneeling silently to the side.
On his face, there was no envy of the family and jealousy of Zuo Jiqian receiving more attention.
Finally, after chatting with Zuo Jiqian, Jingnanhou finally paid a little attention to Zheng Fan,
Road:
"Your surname is Zheng?"
"The last general's surname is Zheng."
"What is the relationship between the Sanshi Zheng family and you?"
"If you go back to the Hou Ye, it doesn't matter."
"Nothing to do with it?" Jing Nanhou looked at Zheng Fan with some surprise.
The rules of the political game of Dayan, the probability of the children of the gate valve coming out is much greater because they have the vast amount of resources at their disposal, but it is not completely without room for the head to come out.
In fact, the most inspirational Qianshou of Dayan is the first generation of Zhenbei Hou, the first generation of Zhenbei Hou did not even have a door earlier, and he couldn't be called a cold family, but he rose by virtue of his military exploits, and his Li family also became the first gate valve of Dayan.
But under the current rules, once a person who has no family comes out, first, he will have low self-esteem and will take the initiative to find someone to pull the family tree; The second is that other gate valves will not give up the opportunity to absorb elites.
Therefore, some people will modify it and add it to the gate valve.
Jingnanhou didn't believe that the Sanshi Zheng family would let go of such a general with the same surname who had already been made into a garrison, after all, the influence of the Sanshi Zheng family was completely incomparable with the Zuo family.
It's nothing more than a ceremony, and then make up a story, such as how many generations ago, where did your family go and where you were separated from your ancestry, and now you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, that is, change a few words on the family tree.
This kind of atmosphere is the most common in Dayan.
Even in later generations, the Qing Dynasty died, but Gege's marriage was still a hot item.
"Where are you from?"
"If you go back to the Hou Ye, the last will come from Beifeng County."
"Beifeng County?" Jingnanhou pondered these words and continued to ask, "What does it have to do with the Li family?" ”
This is an authentic Hou Ye,
Although it is not hereditary, although there are only 50,000 Jingnan troops under his command,
But he is the nobleman at the forefront of the Dayan dynasty.
Zheng Fan didn't dare to learn from Zuo Jiqian in the way of fooling Xu Wenzu, and just opened his mouth to say nonsense to Jingnan Hou:
Ah, when my marquis is at home, he often mentions you to us as the marquis of Jingnan.
The one in front of you, but you can sit on an equal footing with Zhenbei Hou, and you can see Zhenbei Hou himself, you run the train with your mouth full, what if you derail?
So
Zheng Fan looked very modest this time,
Road:
"Fortunately, the Hou Mansion is not despicable to the boy, and the boy can be the lackey of the Hou Mansion."
Sometimes, the more low-key you are, the more people dare not underestimate you.
For example, Zuo Jiqian, who knelt beside Zheng Fan, did not have the slightest disdain for Zheng Fan's low background in his heart.
The people of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei are not prosperous, but the influence of the Hou Mansion is not bad at all, and the seven general soldiers under the command of the Hou Mansion are given the surname Li!
Jing Nanhou touched his wrench finger for a while,
Road:
"You've all had autopsies, Assassin, is there anything missing?"
Zuo Jiqian heard the words,
Immediately raise your head,
Positive color channel:
"Returning to the Hou Ye, there is an assassin who is not among the corpses, it is a female assassin, she was hiding in the coffin from the beginning, and she was the one who released the poisonous needle in the mourning hall.
The Admiral examined it twice and found that there was no female corpse among the assassin's corpses! ”
"Oh?"
Jingnanhou said "oh",
looked at Zheng Fan again,
Road:
"You say."
Zheng Fan immediately raised his head and said:
"The last general has never seen any woman, according to the last general's test, all the assassins, all of them were ambushed, and none of them escaped the net!"
"............" left to move forward.
