Chapter 111: Raiding the General's Mansion
Shen Lingxi has long understood Prime Minister Li Cheng's tricks, and from the sudden attack on the mansion of Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, he can know that this Prime Minister Li Chenggou jumped over the wall in a hurry, and he would directly pose a threat to the people in the mansion of General Pingbei.
Shen Lingxi didn't want to wait until Prime Minister Li Cheng sent someone to arrest her, so she fled in a hurry, so she slipped out of the Pingbei General's Mansion in advance.
Although the housekeeper Tuoba Hao knew that Prime Minister Li Cheng might send someone to disadvantage the people in the Pingbei General's Mansion, as the housekeeper of the mansion, Tuoba Hao still chose to stick to it.
Therefore, the subordinates of the mansion were busy fleeing, and the housekeeper Tuoba Hao was busy preventing these people from escaping, at least if they left, they couldn't take away the property of the Pingbei General Mansion.
As for the belongings of the Pingbei General's Mansion, Shen Lingxi didn't look down on them, some scattered silver and porcelain furniture or something, these things could be worth a few dollars, and even if these things were worth a fortune, they were nothing compared to their nicknames.
Only the housekeeper Tuoba Hao didn't understand, at least Shen Lingxi thought so, so he didn't bother to care about this, Shen Lingxi disguised himself and left the Pingbei General's Mansion.
Because Jianye City is at war, it is almost impossible to get out of Jianye City now, because every city gate is heavily guarded at any time, and soldiers are forbidden to patrol back and forth on the city wall at any time, and it is almost difficult for Shen Lingxi to go out and join the Pingbei general Tuoba Jun.
However, Shen Lingxi didn't really want to go out of Jianye City, first of all, there was a war outside, this sword was eyeless, in case he encountered a rebel soldier and lost his life, it would be too worthwhile.
And in fact, staying in Jianye City, Shen Lingxi felt that it was easier to understand the entire current situation, after all, Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, was going to enter the city to usurp the throne in the end, and some of the situation in the palace, Shen Lingxi felt that it was easier to grasp in Jianye City.
It's just that Prime Minister Li Cheng may search for him everywhere, and for this point, Shen Lingxi feels that with Lin Feng and Cheap Niang doing internal responses in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is unlikely that he will be caught by Prime Minister Li Cheng.
And to be honest, Prime Minister Li Cheng has never seen himself at all, so as long as he disguises himself and dresses up, don't be recognized by the people of the Pingbei General Mansion, even if he swaggers in front of Prime Minister Li Cheng, Prime Minister Li Cheng will not recognize himself as Yu Wenlong, the major general of the Pingbei General Mansion.
Sure enough, not long after Shen Lingxi left the Pingbei General's Mansion, a team of forbidden troops with the appearance of about a few hundred people suddenly appeared in front of the Pingbei General's Mansion.
Soon surrounded the entire Pingbei General Mansion, because he knew that the Pingbei General was fighting against Prime Minister Li Cheng's forbidden army, so some of the guards of the Pingbei General chose to leave temporarily, after all, who won and who lost, I don't know, if I still want to stay in the Pingbei General Mansion at this time, some guards feel that the risk is too great, and if it is not good, it will affect the family.
So there were not a few guards from the Pingbei General's Mansion who fled with them.
Originally, there were nearly 1,000 guards and soldiers of General Pingbei, but when they learned that General Pingbei had killed or wounded 10,000 or 20,000 people on the first day of attacking the city, these guards joined the fleeing team.
In the eyes of ordinary people, even if General Pingbei's army is more than Prime Minister Li Cheng's forbidden army, but after all, the city wall of Jianye is very high, and many people feel that it is unrealistic for General Pingbei's 80,000 troops to attack Jianye City.
With the siege of the Pingbei general Tuoba Jun, some powerful people in Jianye City also began to choose the side team, of course, judging from the current situation, most of the people of Jianye, or some of the officials below, many still choose to believe in Prime Minister Li Cheng, believing that the forbidden army can hold Jianye City.
So in this case, the Pingbei General's Mansion seems to be a little isolated.
Soon the forbidden army occupied the Pingbei General's Mansion, during which there was only a small conflict, and after killing dozens of the guards of the Pingbei General's Mansion, the other guards of the Pingbei General's Mansion had basically surrendered.
The centurion of the forbidden army who took the lead in rushing into the Pingbei General's Mansion searched the entire Pingbei General's Mansion and found no trace of Shen Lingxi, so he arrested the housekeeper Tuoba Hao.
"Say, you major general of the Pingbei General's Mansion, where did he go, did you hide him? You people are all subordinates of the Pingbei General's Mansion, don't be so stupid and loyal, now that the Prime Minister has the final say in Jianye City, if you can't tell the traces of your young general, then I can only be unkind to you. ”
As he spoke, the Forbidden Centurion grabbed a guard who was tied up with five flowers, and then drew a knife and stabbed him into his body, directly stabbing the guard who was no longer able to resist.
Of course, a large stream of blood flowed out of the wound of this guard, and soon the guard died of excessive blood loss.
The housekeeper Tuoba Hao was frightened by this fierce centurion of the forbidden army, but he really didn't know Shen Lingxi's trace now, so his whole body trembled, and he didn't know what to do to save his life.
"You still don't say whether it's or not, anyway, the general of Pingbei Tuoba Jun killed so many forbidden army brothers on the wall of Jianye City, and now I want to avenge them, none of you can tell the whereabouts of your young general, then I will cut off your heads one by one, until someone says it." ”
Saying this, the centurion mentioned another guard of the Pingbei General's Mansion who was tied up with five flowers, and then without much hesitation, he directly cut off the head of this guard.
This scene was so terrifying that the people in the Pingbei General's Mansion who were present trembled with fright, and some of the subordinates were so frightened that they cried directly.
Butler Tuoba Hao is actually very frightened among these controlled people, because now the entire Pingbei General Mansion is his highest position, so in most cases, Butler Tuoba Hao is also the target of attention.
"Let us go, we really don't know where the young general went, we don't know! We can't just kill us all because we don't know! Please think twice!"
Some people began to plead, but it seemed that the centurion of the forbidden army was unmoved, so he slashed another subordinate from the Pingbei General's Mansion who was kneeling on the side to the ground.
"General Ben said, as long as I tell you the whereabouts of your major general, I will let you go, otherwise you will be dead. Don't have any illusions, if you don't say it, you will have to be buried with those dead soldiers of the Forbidden Army. ”
Because no one really knew Shen Lingxi's exact whereabouts, the left-behind personnel of the Pingbei General's Mansion were miserable, and all the red-eyed forbidden soldiers were dragged out one by one, and then they were all in different places.
The people who stayed behind at this time all regretted it a little, if they fled from the Pingbei General Mansion with the others, this would not be the case now.
And his loyalty to the Pingbei General's Mansion for a while, but in the end, in exchange for such an ending, many of the Pingbei General's Mansion personnel who were arrested by the forbidden soldiers regretted it very much, but now it is too late to think about it.
And the housekeeper Tuoba Hao is also being tied up by the forbidden soldiers now, and I believe that it will be his turn soon.
It didn't take long for the Pingbei General's Mansion to be killed by the forbidden soldiers' heads, and the situation in the Pingbei General's Mansion was several times more tragic than that of the Minister's Mansion.
It's just that these things don't have much to do with Shen Lingxi anymore, and now Shen Lingxi is in an ordinary bungalow, wearing the coarse cloth clothes of the people, and is observing the movements of the forbidden soldiers coming and going on the street outside the window.
As a member of the secret guard of the Feng Kingdom lurking beside the general Tuoba Jun of Pingbei, Shen Lingxi is now doing his best to make the Xuanwu Kingdom chaotic, and it is obvious that Shen Lingxi's mission has been very good so far.
As for the Pingbei General Mansion being slaughtered entirely, this Shen Lingxi really didn't feel much, it should be said that it was the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao.
The army of the Pingbei General's Mansion did not know how many soldiers of the Feng Kingdom had been slaughtered on the battlefield, and they did not know how many people of the Feng Kingdom had been slaughtered on the territory of the Feng Kingdom.
Now seeing that the Pingbei General's Mansion was slaughtered by the forbidden army of the Xuanwu Kingdom, Shen Lingxi, the culprit, just felt a little relieved.
What's more, most of the people who stayed in the Pingbei General's Mansion this time were the henchmen of the housekeeper Tuoba Hao, all of whom were guys with blood on their hands, and some ordinary subordinates, in fact, had already fled under Shen Lingxi's hint.
If there is no escape, it can only be said that no one is to blame for this, and it can only be said that there is no courage to make a decision at the critical moment, so it is also to blame for being caught by the forbidden soldiers.
Just as Shen Lingxi was observing the next move of the forbidden soldiers, the housekeeper Tuoba Hao was being severely tortured by the centurion of the forbidden army.
"It seems that the housekeeper is really hard-hearted, so many of your subordinates have been killed, you have no sympathy at all, just watching them die, don't you feel heartache?"
The centurion looked at Tuoba Hao, the butler who was tied to the shelf, and threatened him with words for the last time, hoping to get the news he wanted to know from the mouth of the great butler of the Pingbei General's Mansion.
"I really don't know where the young general goes, please believe in the centurion, I'm just a subordinate of the Pingbei General Mansion, how can this young general tell me where he is going!"
The butler Tuoba Hao had just eaten a whip, although his body was scorching pain, but the current situation was not very bad, so he quickly thought about countermeasures, wanting to escape from the hands of this forbidden centurion.
"What, you don't know where your major general is, then what do you know, you can't count on it, you don't know anything if you say a few words, I'll let you go so easily, even if I agree, can the brothers of the forbidden army outside agree?"
The centurion saw that this guy named Tuoba Hao seemed to have been bold, so he wanted to ask for something other valuable from him, so that he would not run in vain when he came to the Pingbei General's Mansion today.
"This, although I usually manage some of the daily situations of the Pingbei General Mansion, but some confidential things, I don't know here, so there is really nothing to say, just let me go!"
The housekeeper Tuoba Hao is also a little bit of a six-god master now, so he speaks upside down, which means that there are no silver three hundred taels here.
Sure enough, the centurion of the forbidden army seemed to hear something crucial from his words, so he hurriedly asked: "Oh! Since the management is also surnamed Tuoba, then it must be related to the general of Pingbei Tuobajun! Since they are all royal surnames, then I will give you a chance to give the butler here, as long as you tell me some secrets of your Pingbei General Mansion, I can let you live." If you can help our forbidden army defeat the army of Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei outside the city, then maybe in front of the prime minister, you can make up for it, maybe you can get an official and a half position. This is better than you following General Pingbei to be a housekeeper! Haha, you say yes!"
The centurion of the forbidden army immediately grasped the mind of the butler Tuoba Hao, so he used this excuse to make up for his mistakes, hoping that Tuoba Hao could take refuge under the command of the prime minister.
The housekeeper Tuoba Hao is now the meat on the board of others, and he can chop it as much as he wants, so now in order to be able to escape with his life, there is nothing to worry about, after all, there is no small life, and the others are floating clouds.
"Okay, since the adults have said so, I will tell the adults some secrets that I know, but the adults must promise to spare my life, as for whether I can help the Prime Minister defeat the Pingbei general Tuoba Jun, it depends on the opportunity. ”
Hearing the butler Tuoba Hao say this, the centurion immediately came to his senses, so he hurriedly took a few steps closer.
"Great, the housekeeper is really a sensible person, since the general of Pingbei Tuoba Jun has no way to shelter you, then choosing to follow the prime minister is actually the wisest choice, then you can tell you everything you know in detail, I see if it can help this battle." ”
Seeing that there seemed to be hope for his life, the housekeeper Tuoba Hao hurriedly told the centurion of the forbidden army some of the news he knew, as well as the usual code words and secret words of the Pingbei General's Mansion.
"The code I know, and the code words are all that, some are for connectors, some are for transmitting news, in fact, this time the general of Pingbei Tuoba Jun only brought 80,000 people, and 20,000 are still stationed in the border area with Fengguo. In addition, more than 20,000 were killed and wounded on the first day, and now there are only less than 60,000 troops in the hands of Pingbei General Tuoba Jun, I think the forbidden army will definitely be able to defeat Pingbei General Tuoba Jun. ”
In order to survive, the housekeeper Tuoba Hao told all the details of the Pingbei general Tuoba Jun who he knew.
After listening to the long list of things that the butler Tuoba Hao said, the centurion of the forbidden army didn't know for a while which ones were useful and which ones could be used to deal with Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei.
"You said too much about this, I'll go and ask the strategists of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but don't worry, as long as what you say works, you can not only live, maybe the Prime Minister will reuse you, after all, you are also surnamed Tuoba, this Prime Minister will definitely consider it, haha!"
