Chapter 116: Killing the Imperial Court Envoy
"Hey, no matter what, this Xiao Yun is still too sharp! If he continues to do this in the future, he will make countless enemies!" Xi Zhicai sighed, he was still not very optimistic about Xiao Yun.
"You, you are still cautious at this point, sometimes it is still necessary to take dangerous measures in some things, so that you can surprise them and achieve the expected effect.
"Just like this time, if Xiao Yun didn't spread the news of the Xiongnu invasion to Xia, and didn't openly issue a recruitment order to attract people with lofty ideals to help him, how could he resist the hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu army? How could he annihilate the enemy and achieve victory?
"You must know that he is not from the Shi clan, he has no background, he knows that the Han Empire is about to have an accident, and in the case that the imperial court and the state assassin do not support him, he can firmly occupy the righteousness, regard the Xiongnu invasion as an opportunity, turn bad things into good things, and recruit many talents, not only successfully defeated the Xiongnu this time, but also strengthened his own foundation and strengthened his own strength, such a character even I admire!" Guo Jia squinted his eyes and sighed leisurely.
"It seems that Fengxiao, you are very optimistic about this Xiao Yun!" Xi Zhicai's expression moved, and he said with a smile.
"Yes, I'm looking forward to how he will deal with the difficulties of the imperial court next, how to gain a foothold in this troubled world?" Guo Jia looked at the north and smiled slightly.
......
And the state, Shuofang County.
At noon, a group of nearly 100 light horsemen came quickly towards the Shuofang County Guard's Mansion, and every time they arrived at a city gate or checkpoint, the leader didn't know what he had taken out?
Unhindered all the way, this cavalry soon arrived in front of the Shuofang County Guard.
"Where is Xiao Yun! Come out and take the order!" the leading general shouted loudly at the county guard.
Hearing that it was the holy decree that had arrived, the guards of the county guard mansion immediately went in to report, and after a while, Chen Hong and several civil officials hurriedly came out to prepare to greet the envoy.
"Under Chen Hong, I've seen the general!" Chen Hong said respectfully to the generals led by him.
"What about Xiao Yun, why didn't you see him come out to greet us and wait?" the general asked angrily with a calm face.
"Back to the general, my county guard is in retreat, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the pass in a short time, if the general is not in a hurry, you can wait a few times, or if there is anything, you can talk to me first!" Chen Hong said politely.
After Xiao Yun finished the war, he entered the secret room to retreat and broke through, and he has not yet left the customs for several years, but because Xiao Yun has often retreated like this before, Chen Hong and the others have become accustomed to it!
"Hmph, what's the matter? Why don't you call him out directly! How can you wait a little longer for such an important matter?" the general shouted angrily and coldly.
Listening to this general's words, Chen Hong's face couldn't help but change, knowing that the other party must have come to find trouble!
You must know that martial artists can't be disturbed casually when they are in retreat and cultivate, otherwise it may affect the breakthrough of cultivators, and it is more likely to cause cultivators to go mad, this common sense is known to all cultivators, but this general still insists that Xiao Yun immediately come out to receive the order, isn't this deliberately difficult!
"Doesn't the general know that martial artists can't be disturbed casually when they are in retreat and cultivating?" Chen Hong also straightened up, his eyes staring at the general tightly, and said in a deep voice.
"Bastard, does General Ben need you to teach me! Xiao Yun has already violated the law of the Han Dynasty, we are here to arrest him, so I don't care if it will disturb his cultivation, you immediately take us to Xiao Yun's retreat place, let us take people!" The general rebuked Chen Hong loudly.
"Yes! How come I don't know that our county guard has violated that law? Our lord has just defeated the invasion of the Xiongnu and defended the territory of the Han Empire, and now you have come to tell me that our lord is guilty, which is ridiculous! I think you are a fake envoy! You must be spies sent by the Huns! Evil, take down all these Hun spies for me!"
Huo Qingtong suddenly appeared with Dian Wei and a large number of other guards, and in a few words, he determined that this envoy was a Xiongnu spy, and immediately ordered Dian Wei and others to take it down.
"Give it to me, don't let any of them go, these Hun spies dare to resist, and they will be killed directly!" Dian Wei shouted at the many guards behind him, and quickly rushed towards the leading general.
"Kill! Wait for the Hun spies to dismount and surrender quickly!"
"You are so bold that you dare to come to the county guard mansion to assassinate you!"
"Jingle clang!"
In the face of the many guards who rushed forward with knives, this team of messengers subconsciously immediately drew their swords and resisted, but they didn't know that this happened to fall into Huo Qingtong's trap.
When giving Dian Wei an order, Huo Qingtong quietly gave Dian Wei a look, although Dian Wei was a bit honest and honest, but he was not stupid, he immediately knew what Huo Qingtong wanted him to do!
And the group of guards he brought with him were all elites selected from hundreds of thousands of troops, not only brave and powerful, but also loyal to Xiao Yun, and recently under the training of Dian Wei, he has exterminated several waves of mountain bandits, and his combat experience is extremely rich.
The leading general of this team is only a successive cultivator, how is Dian Wei's opponent, for Huo Qingtong's slander, he didn't even have a chance to open his mouth to defend himself, he was immediately slapped by Dian Wei and died of a broken heart, and the remaining nearly 100 people were soon killed by Dian Wei with his guards, leaving no one alive!
Chen Hong and several civil officials who watched the bloody scene turned pale, their faces were incredible, and they all looked at Huo Qingtong in shock, they really couldn't imagine that all this was done by the beautiful and bright woman in front of them?
Especially Chen Hong, how could he not see that this team of envoys was real, and it was not a Hun spy at all! But Huo Qingtong didn't give others a chance to speak at all, and directly judged that the other party was a Hun spy, and ordered Dian Wei and the others to immediately kill the killer and leave no one alive!
"Why! Why do you want to kill the killers! You know that they can't be Hun spies!" Chen Hong stared at Huo Qingtong tightly and asked sharply.
He couldn't understand how Huo Qingtong dared to be so bold? That was a sub-envoy sent by the imperial court! He would kill him! He was not polite at all! This made Chen Hong, who was deeply influenced by the idea of serving the country loyally, unable to accept it at all for a while!
"I'll explain it to you slowly when I have time!" Huo Qingtong said to Chen Hong with an indifferent face, and then ordered to several guards around him:
"Come on, send a few adults back to the house to rest!"
How could Huo Qingtong not know that this envoy was real? The words and deeds of the leading general had already let Huo Qingtong know what the other party was here for?
Before Xiao Yun retreated and cultivated, Huo Qingtong and Xiao Yun discussed how to deal with the difficulties of the imperial court, and finally decided that as long as they stood firmly on the righteousness, the imperial court would not dare to openly punish Xiao Yun's crimes in the face of disapproval, and it was estimated that the imperial court could only secretly make trouble and act secretly!
According to the information from Luoyang, Xiao Yun and Huo Qingtong learned that Emperor Ling of Han had not been to the court for a long time, and now the imperial court is basically the general He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants who are leading the overall situation, fighting openly and secretly!
So Xiao Yun is not afraid of the imperial court at all, Shuofang County is far away from the emperor, and the imperial court can't help him at all, when Emperor Han Ling dies of illness and the Han Empire is in chaos, it is time for him to act boldly, unrestrained, and compete for territory!
It's just that Xiao Yun and Huo Qingtong know all this, and they must never reveal it to others, including Chen Hong, after all, the other party doesn't know that the Han Empire is about to be in chaos now, and they don't know that Xiao Yun and Huo Qingtong have no loyalty to the Han Empire at all!
After ordering the guards to dispose of nearly 100 corpses on the ground, Huo Qingtong immediately released the news that the Huns were unwilling to fail, and even sent a team of nearly 100 spies to pretend to be messengers of big men, ready to assassinate Xiao Yun, but he didn't expect to be recognized by Xiao Yun in time in front of the county guard, and after a fierce battle, all the Hun spies were killed!
After this news spread quickly, people immediately scolded the Huns for not knowing etiquette, being barbaric and dirty, despicable and shameless, and not being able to afford to lose, and at the same time praised Xiao Yun for his intelligence and awesomeness!
