Chapter 62: Difficult Things to Do (3)
Everyone in the Zhenfu Division knows that I am Liao Jianzhong's person, and I am also happy to rely on this mountain, so although I am a small general banner, many people are very polite to me. Just as Liao Jianzhong said, the next day, Liu Tong found me, said a few words of gossip, and then looked serious, and told me to lead my brothers in the evening, change into civilian clothes, and go out with him.
I asked knowingly, "My lord, what are we going to do on such a cold day?" Liu Tong looked at me, suddenly changed his smile, and said, "Don't you know?" I'm acting on the orders of Lord Liao, and you should know that. ”
I still pretended not to know, and said, "I really don't know, I haven't heard what Lord Liao said in the past few days." Liu Tong smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't know, follow me tomorrow and listen to my command." ”
Before leaving, Liu Tong left another sentence: "Tomorrow's action, remember to keep it secret!" ”
After Liu Tong left, I called Ning Boyang and Hardy, saying that when I went out on an errand at night, I must prepare cotton clothes, Ning Boyang listened, and said: "Second brother, what is important, you have to go out at night, this day is cold, it is strange if you don't freeze us to death!" I didn't know Liu Tong's intentions, but I shook my head and said, "We obey the order, don't ask anything else." ”
During the whole day, I was in the Zhenfu Division, and I didn't go anywhere, I kept thinking about how to deal with it tomorrow, I was actually very puzzled, relying on my strength to save Mu Bin, Liao Jianzhong looked up to me a little too much, but he was always very cautious in doing things, and he must have a reason. Hardy and Ning Boyang saw that I had always been very serious, and they didn't dare to be careless, so they urged their subordinates to prepare for their outfits.
The night came soon, it was dark, more than 20 people, all had been packed, I went to find Liu Tong, and when I got to him, I saw Tan Sheng and Gu Dachun also changed into civilian clothes and were talking, seeing that I was coming, Liu Tong smiled and said: "Zhang Ying, you came just in time, Tan Sheng and Gu Dachun also follow you, you will set off together tomorrow!" ”
If you talk about ability, I'm afraid that I am the best, Tan Sheng and Gu Dachun are useless guys, they follow me, I'm afraid it's a robbery, sure enough, Liu Tong said again: "You are all newcomers, you should have the opportunity to exercise, this is also the arrangement of Lord Liao!" ”
As soon as I heard that it was Liao Jianzhong's arrangement, I immediately guessed that he must have put his heart into it, this Tan Sheng and Gu Dachun are both father-in-law's people, they went out with them, and the ambush was not needed, and it was estimated that he was just a spectator. I couldn't help but blame Liao Jianzhong secretly, I didn't know how to save people, and I got two eyeliner, which is too difficult! After thinking about it, he would definitely arrange such a big thing.
I don't know when it snowed outside, but Liu Tong was overjoyed, led us on horseback, quietly left the Zhenfu Division, and went straight to the outside of the city. Although we were warmly dressed, the snow was falling heavily, and we couldn't help but complain.
After walking for about an hour, we came to a village outside the city, but the snow stopped and the cold gradually rose. Liu Tong led us to a large mansion, there was also a wind outside, and without saying a word, he led us in, only to find that many horses were eating grass in the yard, and through the window, you could see the shadows in the east wing, and many people were eating.
Ning Boyang wanted to go over and have a look, but Liu Tong shouted in a low voice: "Don't go over, go to the West Wing." After another boo gesture, we went to the west wing, opened the cotton curtain, and a hot air came to our faces, which was wide and long, and the two large fire kang had already prepared two large and one small three tables of meals, and the house was full of aroma.
Liu Tong took off his veil and said: "We will stay here tonight, after eating, we will sleep here, we will set off tomorrow morning, we must not go out without authorization, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”
As he spoke, he beckoned everyone to eat. We walked for more than an hour, and we were cold and hungry, and we were not polite, and we ate directly to the table. Liu Tong sat at the small table, called me over, and found Tan Sheng and Gu Dachun, although there was no wine, I could see that the food at the small table was better than the big table.
After we finished eating quietly, and someone who looked like a family brought tea, everyone was already warm, Liu Tong got up and said, "Brothers, we will go on an errand tomorrow morning." As the saying goes, being in the public gate is regarded as a public business. Since everyone has entered the door of the brocade guard, they should obey the order. Tomorrow we will be ordered to intercept and kill the prisoners of the court, and there are many helpers, as you can see, and there are also our people over there, so this matter will be done. Remember, the action must be fast and clean, this is a low-hanging fruit and cannot be lost. I won't say much, everyone should rest early and recuperate. ”
He said to me again: "Mr. Zhang, I'll leave it to you here, I'll take a look elsewhere." I nodded, and after Liu Tong left, I asked everyone to lie down and rest.
The kang is very hot, the hot waist is very comfortable, I am lying next to Hardy and Ning Boyang, coming out of the city, they have not had time to talk to me, now everyone is lying down, Hardy asked in a low voice: "Second brother, who will we intercept tomorrow?" ”
I waved my hand and whispered, "Sleep well!" We'll talk about it tomorrow! ”
The weather was getting colder and colder, and we lay in ambush in the woods outside the city, but we did not dare to make a fire, so we had to stomp our feet in the snow, but our eyes were fixed on the official road into the woods.
There were about 30 of us, led by Liu Tong, all dressed in black and veiled. Before leaving, Liu Tong told us that the one who came with Mu Bin and the Qianhu Ye Chengda of Jinyiwei, but he was not with us, this person is very good at kung fu, everyone must be careful, obey the order, and then attack.
Naturally, I wished for this, and I told my men that all actions should be under my orders. Hearing that it was the interception and killing of Mu Bin, everyone was surprised, Ning Boyang asked me in a low voice why I wanted to assassinate Mu Bin, and it was even more painful to arrest and prosecute him directly. I shook my head and said that I didn't know what was going on, and that I had to do what I was told.
We were arranged in the recess on the right, and Liu Tong led a few people to ambush in front. I feel that the reason why we were allowed to participate may be because we are newcomers and are not familiar with Mu Bin. It's just that Liu Tong's people went to intercept and kill their former colleagues and bosses, which was a little too cruel.
I thought about it a lot last night, and I almost stayed up all night, tossing and turning, but in my ears was Hardy's snoring and Ning Boyang's snoring. I don't know much about the affairs of the court, but I just think that I was a colleague yesterday, and I have to fight today. Life is really incomprehensible, people who know and don't know can lie together, the so-called same bed and different dreams, probably so. I gradually felt that I was a chess piece, always being manipulated.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Hardy said suddenly, We heard the reputation, and sure enough, a few fast horses galloped on the official road, tightly guarding a car, presumably Mu Bin and others.
Tan Sheng's eyes were sharp, and he said in a low voice: "It's Ye Chengda in front!" He's a master! What should I do if I start fighting for a while? Ning Boyang glanced at him, smiled, seemed to laugh at his fat body, and said, "Needless to say, we listen to the general flag!" "The men approached, and were less than thirty paces away from us, and stopped, as if they knew we were here, and went no further. Liu Tong heard our words, turned around and made a gesture to shut up, signaling us to ambush and not act rashly. I was glad that they didn't come, so we didn't have to do it.
When he was happy, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the official road, and someone shouted: "Master Mu go slowly, Lord Li will send you some coils, I hope you will accept it!" "It turned out that someone came to deliver something, and I was happy in vain.
A sigh came from inside the car, and then he took away the people's belongings. The man dressed as a family member whispered a few words, but we didn't hear them clearly, and the man left.
Ye Cheng shouted, these people continued to move forward, and he walked in front. Liu Tong was overjoyed, gesticulating, and motioning for everyone to wait for the attack.
Ye Chengda urged the horse forward and explored the way ahead. Gradually walked in, the tripping horse rope slammed up, Ye Cheng was fast, but as soon as he lifted the reins, the horse stood up, and with a few long whistles, he actually crossed the tripping horse rope, and then Ye Cheng shouted: "There are assassins!" ”
As soon as the whistle sounded, Liu Tong and the others rushed out first and quickly surrounded them. Ye Chengda commanded the people behind him to protect the official sedan chair, jumped off the horse himself, pulled out his long sword, glanced at everyone, and said, "Who are you?" ”
Liu Tong didn't say anything, and with a wave of his hand, these people hugged him with various weapons. He waved his hand again and motioned for us to come out as well, and I had to lead everyone out of the room, but I only surrounded outside. A few people also tried to move forward before, Ye Chengda saw that there were many of us, and he fought and retreated, but he didn't panic and knocked over a few brothers neatly, and he held a sword in his left hand to protect the official sedan chair, and we were still around.
