Chapter 238: Missing
Shen Yangui on the tree got the opportunity and immediately threw the knife in his hand.
The leader lowered his head, his chin touched a trace of coldness, and his eyes drooped, and the two-foot white blade slanted downward.
A drop of blood quickly slid down the blade to the tip of the knife, and when the beads of blood gathered into a crystal full drop, he covered his neck and knelt straight.
I can't say half a complete word.
The people on both sides didn't react, turned their heads and looked down, "General Cui!" ”
The adjutant shouted: "There is an ambush!" Guard against! ”
Before the words fell, Shen Yangui was like a ghost, silently falling in the center of the crowd, and she reached out to pull the instrument knife back.
There was a pop, and blood splattered.
That General Cui fell down completely, and with the dream of meritorious service, he bid farewell to his short life.
The soldiers next to him drew their swords one after another, automatically formed a circle, and surrounded Shen Yangui.
As pointed by the long knife, just wait for an order to take Shen Yangui's life.
"Stop it!"
Shen Yangui held the token high in his hand and shouted with the strength of his chest: "This is the Golden Order of the Regent's Palace!" Whoever sees this golden order, if he sees the regent, all the soldiers will listen to the order!! ”
You did not dare to step forward, nor did you kneel, only the torches occasionally burst into sparks, shaking the figures.
The adjutant in charge of tonight's encirclement and suppression operation glanced at the two centurions at this moment.
When the mulberry girl on the high ground saw it, she was so frightened that her soul flew out of her body, and she couldn't help it.
Shen Yangui listened to the movement of the dead branches and grass leaves, threw the golden order into the sky, held the knife in both hands, turned his body and broke the blade, and with two bangs, half of the centurion knife remained.
When the two of them were shocked, Shen Yangui stopped and waved his knife.
Jin Lingluo fell, and his head flew.
Shen Yangui lunged to stabilize his body and reached out to catch Jin Ling.
The lieutenant smashed his head on the head of one of the centurions, and he snorted and sat on the ground.
Shen Yangui swept with cold eyes, clenched the instrument knife, and maintained a high degree of vigilance.
"Who else?"
Shentu Wujian garrisoned here, although he secretly poked and poked a lot of rebellious things, and was also in front of the real king of Lizhou, but he did not dare to rebel openly after all.
Most of the soldiers at the bottom are servants, and after two or three years, they will go back to their respective homes, and Shen Yangui firmly believes that they obey orders, just to find a way to survive.
The soldier unconsciously took a step back.
The encirclement was opened.
Seeing this, Shen Yangui slowly stood up and said in a loud voice:
"Shen Tu has no trouble plotting against him, the regent has already noticed that the new hussar general has led 100,000 horses day and night, and will rush to this place in a few days, waiting for those who don't know! Not to be pursued! Abandon the helpers now! Afterwards, the merit will be rewarded! The Stubborn! Zhu Jiu Clan!! ”
Looking at the golden tokens shining in the firelight, as well as General Cui and the centurion who lost their heads, those who can give orders are all dead, what are you still struggling with?
All the soldiers knelt down.
"See His Royal Highness the Regent!"
Kneeling down and saluting in unison, the two teams that had stolen the high ground looked at this side, a little at a loss.
A centurion rushed from the high ground, knelt forward, clasped his hands into fists, and said:
"My lord, these are ordinary soldiers in the army, the general ordered, if you dare not obey, you will be separated, and it is not our will to oppress the people, and please regent Mingjian!"
Another centurion said: "I am a villager from this nearby village, and after serving for a year, I am used to seeing that dog thief conniving at his relatives and making a fortune, and I don't want to kill him for a day!" ”
"We are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light!"
"We wish too!"
There were more and more echoes, and Shen Yangui breathed a sigh of relief, and he could feel pain in his hands.
She looked at the centurion who had been the first to defect, "What's your name?" ”
"Chen Tong, centurion of the lowly cavalry battalion."
"Cavalry battalion?"
Shen Yangui saw that all the people who came tonight were from the infantry camp.
Chen Tong replied: "If you go back and go back to your lordship, you shouldn't have come here tonight, but you heard it by chance and took the initiative to apply for it." ”
"Oh?"
Take the initiative to apply, which is in a hurry to make meritorious service?
The knife in Shen Yangui's hand slowly raised.
Chen Tong continued: "The lowly army is to serve the country, protect the old and the young, not to oppress the compatriots, and now the people who should be protected, but they were forced by the old thief to defend themselves with a knife, I am a man, ashamed, tonight the old thief wants to use a knife, slaughter these poor women, I can't bear to see this, bring my brothers over, thinking about the critical time, save everyone." ”
He truthfully reported the troops sent by Shentu Wuji, and the leading general Cui Li was the nephew of Shentu Wuji's henchman, and he would be able to officially seal the general after his triumph tonight.
The people who went up the mountain and entered the forest were called thousands, but in fact there were only five hundred, and there were five people from Baihualou.
Yamashita said that there were 800 people, but in fact there were only 300 people.
In other words, in order to deal with less than thirty Sang Niu, Shentu Wujian really sent eight hundred people, which was to feed Cui Li's mouth.
Unfortunately, he still didn't have this life.
"This evening, the Shentu dog thief and his henchmen set off for Xianfa City overnight, and the brothers of the cavalry battalion brought dozens of war horses over to meet in the west, if you don't believe it, you can send Sister Niu to check it in person."
Dozens of war horses moved a lot, and Shen Yangui was not deaf.
Jingzhong did not send a hussar general, if she did not believe Chen Tong, the people who could be used in her hands were almost the same as nothing.
But just based on Chen Tong's words, believing him means handing over all the girls, even his own lives.
For Shen Yangui, this is a big gamble.
The time has come to test her.
Shen Yangui looked at the Sang Niu who was anxiously waiting for his news on the high ground, walked two steps slowly, turned around, looked through the layers of forest leaves, and looked at the pioneer city.
If it is Jingming, how will he choose at this moment?
The instrument knife was slowly raised, and the tip of the knife pointed at Chen Tong.
For her, the big gamble, Yu Chen Tong, why not?
Chen Tong straightened his spine, his eyes were firm, and he was not afraid at all.
"Chen Tong listens to orders!"
A flash of light flashed in Chen Tong's eyes, and with a snap, he covered his right hand with his left hand, "Humble duty!" ”
"From now on, you will be named the general of Zhengsi Pinzhongwu, and before the arrival of the hussar general's army, you will take over all the functions and powers of Shentu Wujian in Lizhou."
The centurion is a low-level officer, who has no rank and no rank, and directly skips the rank and is promoted to the fourth rank, if it is not for the war, it is unprecedented.
But now it's wartime.
Giving orders in times of danger cannot but be heavy.
As for taking over all the powers of Shentu Wuji, before Shentu Wuji is controlled, it is just an empty word.
Chen Tong kowtowed, "Thank you, Regent." ”
"Get up."
Shen Yangui glanced at the soldiers around him and talked to Chen Tong.
"The three hundred people under the mountain ......"
"It's also credible."
Shen Yangui nodded, she looked at the corpses lying on the ground, "If I had enough time to contact you in advance, I wouldn't have so many casualties tonight." ”
Chen Tongdao: "Adults don't have to feel guilty, those people died unjustly." ”
"How?"
"Shentu dog thief spoke, capturing a female bandit and a chivalrous man alive." He changed his words in time, "Reward ten taels of silver, give half a month of leave, they are rushing to the front, earning credit for themselves, don't you see that when you want to go to the master again, everyone is thundering and raining?" ”
In this way, those mechanisms are not wasted.
Shen Yangui: "The people in Beijing didn't have time to arrive before the Hundred Flowers Banquet, but we had to rescue the innocent woman before the Hundred Flowers Banquet." ”
"There are not only women, the dog thief is a good man, and many Xiaolangjun have also been abducted by him."
"Good man?"
Shen Yangui was surprised not by the good man himself.
She suddenly thought that Shen Tu Wujian treated Jingming so well in the past, would he keep thinking crookedly, but he didn't succeed?
She remembered Sang Niu's words again, there was something wrong with Yuelai Inn......
Jing Ming won't have an accident, right?
"Yes, I originally planned to take someone to meet with Sister Niu tonight and save people together......"
Chen Tong was still talking, Shen Yangui was a little uneasy, she asked Chen Tong to gather the remaining people, re-form, and go to Sang Niu's side again to explain the matter.
"You're so bold that you believe him?"
Shen Yangui's tone was slightly cold, "Do you have a choice?" ”
Sang Niu opened her mouth and held back the words.
"With Chen Tong's ability, he can completely replace Cui Li and command the remaining soldiers."
Shen Yangui looked at the corpses that were being dragged together in the forest, "There are still 400 people on the mountain, 300 people under the mountain in the east, and countless cavalry under the mountain in the west. ”
Sang Niu glanced at the girls.
Still fearful of the armoured soldiers, they put their swords at their feet and hugged each other, remaining on the high ground.
"What do you mean now? Princess Regent. ”
Shen Yangui heard the unconvincing in Sang Niu's tone.
The officials and bandits have been fighting for so long, and it is indeed a little difficult for her to shake hands and fight side by side with the people in the Shentu Wujian camp all of a sudden.
But there is no way to do it.
"Your people stay, stay with the girls, I will let Chen Tong leave a team to protect everyone, as for you, come with me into the city."
As if worried that Sang Niu would run, Shen Yangui grabbed her wrist tightly, "We'll go to Xianfa City now." ”
Sang Niu looked at the forest outside the firelight and said, "It's almost dawn." ”
Shen Yan looked up, the moon didn't know when to set, the stars disappeared, and the sky sank like ink.
"It's time for the sky to dawn!"
