Chapter 253: The woods outside the city meet on a narrow road
The book continues from the above, the last book said that Princess Danyang was lonely and left, His Royal Highness King Xian forcibly retained, a wisp of love words to build tenderness, half a light of tears turned into lovesickness, Li Shimin in the Liangyi Hall angrily threw the folds, and Chu Mofeng rode alone for thousands of miles under Weinan City, which led to the grass and startled the snake Chu Mofeng wanted to capture the old man, the wind and the crane Wang Junkuo grass and trees are soldiers, and the woods Chu Mofeng guarded the plant and waited for the rabbit, and Huarong Dao Wang Junkuo calmly gave the head.
After eating slowly and leisurely, Chu Mofeng simply cleaned up, thinking that it was almost time, and then gathered in front of the bronze mirror to disguise himself, and then leaned against the door and quietly listened to the movement outside the door.
It was probably about to arrive, but I heard the voice of the man in the aisle, "Guest officer, the food you want is ready for you, bother you to open the door, and the small one will be sent in for you." ”
The man inside the door seemed to say something, and then he heard the man answer, and staggered downstairs. Chu Mofeng was in this room, just able to see the other party's door, looking through the crack in the door, about a tea time, only to see the door opened gently, first a person's head flashed out, after looking around, he found that there was no one, and then the whole person walked out, brought the tray at the door into the house, only to hear a 'bang', the door closed again.
Seeing this, Chu Mofeng sneered, tiptoed open his door, then closed it gently, and then walked downstairs.
After leaving the inn, Chu Mofeng inquired all the way, and finally found the carriage and horse shop in Weinan County, and when he entered the door, he found that there was only one guy lying in front of the counter napping in the carriage and horse shop, and he seemed to be asleep, and he didn't even notice Chu Mofeng entering the door.
Seeing this scene, Chu Mofeng frowned slightly, walked straight to the counter, stretched out his right hand, and his slender and white index finger and middle finger were slightly bent, and gently knocked three times on the counter, only to see that the guy suddenly woke up, found someone in front of him, hurriedly wiped the saliva on the corner of his mouth, and asked sleepily: "Does the guest officer want to rent a carriage?"
Pulling out his waist card from his arms, he put it on the counter and pushed it gently, Chu Mofeng looked at the guy and smiled a little meaningfully, "I'm looking for your shopkeeper." ”
Just glanced at the golden dragon on the waist card, the guy immediately trembled, got up and ran towards the backyard, and after a while, a handsome woman ran out with the guy, seeing Chu Mofeng standing with his hands in the lobby, he immediately knelt down and shouted, "Liu Piaopiao, the person in charge of the Weinan Youzi sub-station, has seen His Royal Highness King Xian. ”
Seeing that the other party was a young woman, Chu Mofeng thought to himself that the person in charge of the intelligence station absorbed by Ling'er was such a young girl? Thinking of this, Chu Mofeng frowned and asked: "This king remembers that the person in charge of the Weinan sub-station should be an old man, right? I don't know if the girl is ......?"
"His Royal Highness Qiqi, the previous person in charge was his father, but a few days ago he personally escorted the former Youzhou right leading general Wang Junkuo back to Beijing, was killed by this thief, the little woman learned of the existence of the wanderer from the letter left by her father, in view of the urgency of the situation, so the little woman had to take over the operation of the intelligence station from her father, and then report to Chang'an Station after some time. Hearing Chu Mofeng's question, the woman named Liu Piaopiao's eyes immediately turned red, and she explained the truth of the matter.
After listening to the other party's report, Chu Mofeng immediately saluted Liu Piaopiao and said: "The girl's festival mourning is changing, Fang is the king is abrupt, this matter will be reported to the capital station as soon as possible, as for the full power of the Weinan substation, from now on, I will bother the girl to worry about it." ”
I saw Liu Piaopiao saluting Chu Mofeng and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, your subordinates will definitely not live up to Your Highness's expectations." Then Liu Piaopiao looked around and whispered: "This is not a place to talk, please move to the backyard of Your Highness." Then he made a 'please' gesture to Chu Mofeng.
After the two came to the backyard, before Chu Mofeng could speak, Liu Piaopiao suddenly whispered: "My subordinates know that the purpose of His Royal Highness's coming this time is for Wang Junkuo's dog thief, you can rest assured, this thief is now hiding in the inn in the city and never dares to show up, his subordinates have already sent people to monitor the inn day and night, according to the shopkeeper's confession, since the thief entered the inn, he has been hiding in the guest room, and the subordinates are inconvenient to go in to investigate, so they can only stay on the periphery." ”
After listening to Liu Piaopiao's report, Chu Mofeng secretly said hello in his heart, he wanted to pat her on the shoulder to show encouragement, thinking that men and women would not kiss her, so he gave her a fist salute instead, "Good job, I knew that your people were monitoring on the periphery, and this king would not spend that money to stay in the inn, but it doesn't matter, sometimes this king can't take care of it, and there are still your people on the periphery, so this king can rest assured." ”
"My subordinates have heard my father mention it more than once, saying that His Royal Highness loves the people like a son and cares about the people. Liu Piaopiao's heart warmed when he heard this, since he was a child, the officials he saw in his eyes, whether it was the former Sui or the Tang Dynasty, wanton waste of state funds has been commonplace, but since this was born, the evil deeds of the past officialdom gradually began to disappear, and after His Majesty succeeded to the throne, rectified the imperial examination, rectified the rule of officials, and investigated corrupt officials, a series of measures let the world see the hope of being strong, there were rumors in the market that half of the policies implemented by the Tang Dynasty were written by the people in front of them, which inevitably made Liu Piaopiao admire.
Seeing that the other party's eyes had begun to shine, thinking of his 'bad deeds', Chu Mofeng immediately coughed lightly and said: "Since this is the case, then the Weinan branch station needs to be vigilant during this time, if there is a need for this king to come to transfer people, by the way, how to go to Weinan County?"
"After His Highness went out, he walked along the original road to the entrance of the central street, and then walked east about two streets to see the gate of the county government. After listening to Liu Piaopiao's guidance, Chu Mofeng immediately said goodbye to the other party and walked in the direction of the county office.
All the way to the horse slowly forward, after a while, he came to the gate of the county office, and walked straight into the county government hall, only to see two officials come up to meet him, and said viciously: "Who trespassed into the county government court? If you don't report the grievances, leave quickly, otherwise don't blame this water and fire stick for being ruthless." ”
"I'm going to tell you master, someone from the capital, come out and see you quickly. Seeing this, Chu Mofeng took out his forehead and waist card and shook it, then picked a chair and sat in the county hall like this.
The two officials heard that it was from the capital, and they couldn't help but be cautious, as the saying goes, the official is a big man who crushes people to death, even if there is a seven-grade official in the capital, this Weinan county town must also be greeted respectfully, thinking of this, one of the officials trotted and went to the back hall to pass the word.
I only heard the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the direction of the back hall, and then I saw the Weinan County Commander wearing an official uniform running out with the master, and when he saw that Chu Mofeng had not waited for the other party to introduce, he immediately knelt down and shouted: "Xiaguan Weinan County ordered Liu Yunqing to see His Royal Highness King Xian, I don't know if His Royal Highness will miss the distance when he arrives, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive his sins." ”
Hearing that the other party recognized him, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Oh, your county commander actually knows who I am?"
"Your Royal Highness, the younger brother of the lower official is Liu Santong, the captain of the county gate of this county, and it was the younger brother who told the lower official that you paid a private visit to Weinan County, and I hope that Your Highness will not blame. Liu Yunqing said with guilt on his face when he heard this: "Although the world knows that His Royal Highness is strong in martial arts, since you are in Weinan County, protecting your safety is the top priority of this county." ”
Chu Mofeng waved his hand when he heard this, and then said to Liu Yunqing: "This king came today to arrest the traitor Wang Junkuo, according to this king's investigation, this person is now hiding in the inn in the city, this king means that tomorrow morning, Guixian Ya ......" In the end, Chu Mofeng almost commanded Liu Yunqing's ear, and the latter nodded when he heard this, "Your Highness, rest assured, the lower officials will definitely do what you instruct." ”
"Tomorrow I will keep an eye on Wang Junkuo, you let Brother Ling block the three gates, leaving only the North City Gate open, then Wang Junkuo will definitely leave from the North City Gate, and the rest of the things will be done by this king, and afterwards this king will ask for credit for you and Brother Ling in front of His Majesty." Seeing this, Chu Mofeng thought for a moment, and then said softly: "Is there any place to ambush outside the North City Gate of Weinan County?"
"Your Highness Qiqi, as far as the officials know, there is a forest on the road leading to the Turkic direction outside the north of the city, I wonder if I can help Your Highness?" After a careful search in his mind, Liu Yunqing suddenly remembered the forest in the north of the city.
Seeing this, Chu Mofeng nodded, then got up and said goodbye to the Weinan County Order, and returned to the inn alone.
At the beginning of the second day, I only heard the sound of gongs on the street outside the house, mixed with the sound of someone shouting, "Receiving the notice from the direction of the capital, there have been large armies stationed in Weinan County recently, from now on the eastern, western, and southern gates of the city are temporarily closed, leaving only the north gate to travel, and the various inns, wine shops, tooth shops and other places in the city will strictly check the guest information from now on, and if there is any falsehood, you can be arrested and killed on the spot." ”
Hearing the shouts outside the door, Chu Mofeng hooked the corners of his mouth, thinking that this first step was completed, and then it was up to him to see if this Liu Yunqing could deceive the people in the house, thinking of this Chu Mofeng walked to the bronze mirror and dressed up, then pushed open the door and ran downstairs, at this moment the first floor of the inn was full of people, except for a few guests who Chu Mofeng had seen, the rest were merchants carrying goods, and ordinary people were dressed up, and everyone was sitting in the lobby on the first floor, listening to a person who looked like an official shouting," Ladies and gentlemen, since the beginning of the morning, the three gates are closed, if you need to go out of the city, please go to the north gate, and at the beginning of this afternoon, all the shops and households in the county will be checked, focusing on the inventory of foreign population. ”
I saw a man in the crowd shouting: "Brother Guancha, what is the reason for this? The government has to give an explanation." ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, the imperial court is going to start using troops against the Turks, our Weinan County is one of the only roads to the Turks, the inventory is to find out whether there are Turkic spies mixed in, you have to think about it, if the imperial court turns a blind eye to the harassment of the Turks, it will not be us who will be unlucky at that time, so for the stability of your life, please cooperate more." I saw that the official said what Chu Mofeng told Liu Yunqing yesterday word for word.
Chu Mofeng, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn't help but applaud this person in his heart, but as soon as this person's voice fell, the crowd couldn't help but talk, "Brother Cha is right, the court is sympathetic to us, we can't drag the court back, check, check seriously, start with the little girl's carriage and horse shop." In the crowd, Chu Mofeng accidentally caught a glimpse of Liu Piaopiao, who was coaxing, and the latter saw that he was discovered by Chu Mofeng, and immediately made a grimace at Chu Mofeng.
When they heard this, they dispersed, and the official told the innkeeper to prepare the guest register so that he could come for inspection at noon, and then left the inn in a hurry, and walked towards the next shop.
Seeing this, Chu Mofeng immediately went upstairs, returned to his room, and after sorting out his bags, Chu Mofeng continued to come to the crack of the door and stared at the opposite room, sure enough, about seven o'clock, the opposite door suddenly opened, and a thin man walked out wearing a hat, the brim of his hat was pressed low, as if he didn't want others to see his face clearly, this person walked out of the guest room and walked straight downstairs. After this person disappeared at the staircase, Chu Mofeng also hurriedly walked out, slowly walked towards the staircase, and went down the stairs step by step to the junction of the first and second floors, only to hear that the man seemed to be checking out, "Shopkeeper, check out, I am going out of the city today." ”
I saw the shopkeeper smile slightly, and then opened the account book and whispered: "The guest officer has spent a total of half a cent in the small shop these days, and when the guest officer came to stay, he had already paid the consistent money, and now the villain is looking for you half a cent, and you wait for the villain to find the money for you." Then the shopkeeper turned around and rummaged through the box behind the counter for the whole hanging money.
At this time, the man seemed to be a little impatient, and immediately shouted in a low voice: "The shopkeeper's trouble is a little faster, and he has to hurry up next." ”
The shopkeeper was stunned at first, and then. smiled slightly apologetically and said, "I'm really sorry to keep the guest officer waiting, this is to find money to ask the guest officer to take it." ”
I saw the man take the money and look around, then dodge out of the door, walking in the direction of the north city gate, Chu Mofeng, who was monitoring in the corner, saw the target leaving, and then went downstairs to settle the bill and followed. The two of them walked towards the north gate one after the other, and when they came to the north gate, they found that this place was already heavily guarded, and as the captain of the city gate, Eliu Santong was checking at the city gate, and the man walked slowly forward with the flow of people, looking around from time to time, as if he was avoiding someone.
When he came to the city gate, the man handed over the inquest documents, and Liu Santong copied the documents and browsed them, and then said to the man: "Take off your hat, the official needs to see his face clearly." ”
When the man heard this, he didn't do anything at all, but whispered in a hoarse voice: "So that this official knows that the villain's face was damaged because of the fire, so as not to frighten the official, and I hope the official will be considerate." Immediately took out a few hangs of money from his arms and stuffed them into Liu Santong's hand, the other party didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to pretend to investigate the crowd, glanced in the direction of Chu Mofeng, and saw Chu Mofeng bowing slightly, Liu Santong immediately sneered and said: "Count your kid if you have a heart, let's go." ”
Seeing this, the man's hand that was originally holding the handle of the knife suddenly let go, gave a salute to Liu Santong, put away his inquest papers, and walked towards the city gate. Seeing this, Chu Mofeng in the crowd led the horse and passed through the north city gate smoothly, and as soon as he got out of the north city gate, Chu Mofeng immediately turned over his horse and galloped towards the woods in the north, and did not stop when he passed the man on the way.
Seeing that he had successfully left Weinan County, the man immediately raised his hat upward, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a pair of vulture eyes looked back at the north gate of Weinan County, thinking Uncle I am out, since the court is coming, why should I continue to stay in the city, in case the other party comes to close the door and catch the thief, uncle, I am not in danger and cannot get out.
Thinking that this man took off his hat and was on the side, revealing his original face, if any Youzhou people were here at this moment, he would definitely be able to recognize that this person was Wang Junkuo, the former right leading general of Youzhou. Thinking of the post guard he killed outside the east gate of Weinan County, Wang Junkuo couldn't help but sneer, "Unlucky guy, who made you have to ask questions along the way, if you don't want to be close, uncle, I can't kill you." ”
Just walked slowly all the way, Wang Junkuo calculated the distance in his heart, looked back from time to time, and thought that if a man on horseback passed by, it would be good to kill it and grab a horse, otherwise he would have to be tired to death when he walked out of the country, who knew that he was eager to look forward to it, but it backfired, and he was about to walk to the woods in front of him, and he didn't see a person riding a horse, which made Wang Junkuo suddenly feel a little tired, seeing a forest in front of him, Wang Junkuo suddenly cheered up, ready to rest first and then hurry.
Walking slowly into the woods along the official road, there was silence all around, the sun shone down through the dense leaves, splashing mottled on the ground, and the surrounding bushes suddenly stirred from time to time, which surprised Wang Junkuo, who was resting under the trees.
opened his burden and rummaged through, only to find a water bladder and a little dry food, which inevitably made Wang Junkuo secretly curse Li Shimin in his heart, why did this guy have to notify Weinan County of martial law today, if it was a few days later, he would have prepared enough food and water before going on the road. But after thinking about it again, it's really not okay to buy it when you encounter a tea stall along the way. Immediately, Wang Junkuo ate a mouthful of dry food and a mouthful of water.
After a 'full meal', Wang Junkuo got up and tidied up his clothes, continued to walk forward, and gradually walked along the official road to the middle of the woods, at this moment Wang Junkuo came from the soles of his feet a burst of pain, spread along the two thighs to the whole body, in view of the carriage from Youzhou to come, and the purchase of horses needs to be registered, and show the permission of the government, which makes Wang Junkuo, who is a fugitive, inevitably a little embarrassed, although he is a military general, but he has been pampered all year round, and he has long been unable to stand the suffering of the military.
Just like this step by step forward, is waiting to rest again Wang Junkuo, suddenly heard a horse roaring sound, which made the tired Wang Junkuo suddenly excited, along the source of the sound to look, only to see a big tree in front of the horse, a snow-white horse standing in place, is leisurely eating the grass under the tree, Wang Junkuo saw this, endured the pain under his feet, quickly ran forward, untied the reins and turned over the horse, just ready to turn the horse's head and rush forward, who knew that at this time there was a whistle in the air, the crotch of the horse as if receiving an order, first the front hooves were raised high, and then fell heavily, and the entire hind hooves were raised high, instantly lifted Wang Junkuo down.
Caught off guard, Wang Junkuo immediately fell a dog to chew, the whole person was lying on the ground in embarrassment, just about to get up, suddenly a golden light flew in, embarrassingly inserted in front of him, Wang Junkuo saw this The horizontal knife in his hand came out, and he looked around vigilantly and shouted: "Who is doing something here, get out." ”
I heard a majestic voice shouting from the woods: "Wang Junkuo, the former general of the right leading army in Youzhou, killed the post guard outside Weinan County because he was suspected of being denounced, and then prepared to wait for the opportunity to flee to the Turks, I don't know if what I said is right?"
Hearing that the other party revealed his origin, Wang Junkuo's heart trembled, and he held the horizontal knife in his hand tightly and said: "Who are you? How can you know about me? If you have the courage to show up, don't hide in the dark." Although he said so, Wang Junkuo still slowly moved in the direction of the horse, in a vain attempt to take advantage of the other party's unpreparedness, and fled on the horse again, who knew that he picked up the reins, only to see a golden light hit again, Wang Junkuo saw that a lazy donkey rolled to the side, and looked up to see a dart straight into the tree.
Immediately, Wang Junkuo couldn't help but be terrified, brandishing a horizontal knife in his hand and shouting: "You come out, you come out, what kind of ability is it to hide in the dark and sneak attack with darts?"
As soon as the words fell, I heard Fang Cai's voice sound again, "Hey, as you wish." Immediately I saw a person flashing out from behind a big tree in front of him, and the two iron shovels in his hands were very eye-catching, Wang Junkuo saw this and his heart was horizontal, and he clenched his horizontal knife and rushed towards the other party, "Lao Tzu killed you, see how you still control your horse?"
I saw the other party sneer, as if stunned, standing in place, letting Wang Junkuo rush towards him, seeing that the other party did not react, Wang Junkuo couldn't help but laugh, thinking that Lao Tzu killed you first, it is estimated that you should have good things on you, and after replenishment, Lao Tzu will ride your horse and leave, and you will be a lonely ghost in the depths of this wood.
Kankan rushed to the other party, Wang Junkuo's hand horizontal knife was raised high, towards the top of the opponent's head, who knew that the opponent's left hand just waved upwards slightly, only to hear the sound of 'bang', Wang Junkuo's tiger mouth suddenly came from a tearing pain, and then saw the opponent's right hand weapon stabbed forward, stabbed on the heart guard inside Wang Junkuo's clothes, and then a mountain-like force hit along the heart guard, and immediately pushed Wang Junkuo out several steps.
Stepping back repeatedly, Wang Junkuo kicked the ground with his right foot, stabilized his figure, raised his eyes to look ahead, and immediately shouted in horror: "King Xian... Your Royal Highness, how can it be you?"
"Wang Junkuo, the king of the account book never counted with you back then, I thought you could take it as a warning and no longer do evil in this life, who knows that you will not repent, and this time you will kill my subordinates again, you say, what should this king do this time?"
"Your Royal Highness King Xian, are you the only one who came today?" Seeing Chu Mofeng coming step by step, Wang Junkuo's eyes rolled, looked around and said, "What about the group of little ladies under your command? It can't be hidden in the woods, right?"
"Don't be afraid, none of them came, this time the king came alone. Hearing Wang Junkuo ask this, Chu Mofeng of course knew what he was thinking, and immediately sneered and said, "Kill you, I will use half of my strength to be enough." After speaking, without waiting for Wang Junkuo to react, the whole person kicked under his feet and rushed towards Wang Junkuo.
Seeing the other party rushing over, Wang Junkuo thought with some disdain in his heart, saying that this person's martial arts are the best in the world, it is estimated that people seem to be hindered by his status and touted it, see I slaughtered you with a knife today, and it also made Li Shimin feel a pain. Thinking of this, Wang Junkuo held the horizontal knife in his hand and rushed towards the direction of Chu Mofeng.
Seeing that the two were about to meet, Chu Mofeng stabbed Wang Junkuo's chest with a double sword in his hand, and the other party hurriedly blocked the knife in his chest when he saw this, and Wang Junkuo had already found that his heart shield seemed to be damaged, so he didn't dare to rely on the heart guard to resist the opponent's attack.
The tip of the gong was on the blade of the knife, making a sound of tooth soreness, and then Chu Mofeng's left hand waved from the bottom to the top, and pulled at Wang Junkuo's knife, and the other party immediately raised the knife with his arm upward, and suddenly the empty door was wide open, and then Chu Mofeng held the iron shovel with both hands, and pressed the handle against Wang Junkuo's chest with the handle, and the handle was pressed against the heart guard, making a dull sound, which also made Wang Junkuo retreat helplessly.
And Chu Mofeng was unforgiving, and rushed forward with the other party's figure, burning the sky and destroying the world with both hands in the process of marching, Wang Junkuo could only try his best to resist in the panic, after blocking ten times in a row, Wang Junkuo's arm was already sore, and the strength of the block in his hand was weakened a lot, Chu Mofeng saw this and pulled up again, the other party immediately couldn't hold the horizontal knife in his hand, and let it fly into the air, and then Chu Mofeng kicked sideways and kicked Wang Junkuo's abdomen, and Wang Junkuo suddenly bowed into a shrimp shape after eating pain, and then Chu Mofeng jumped on the spot, stepped on Wang Junkuo's back and jumped high, and put the burning sky and destroying the world behind him in mid-air, Xin hand-copied the opponent's horizontal knife, and when it fell, it happened to fall behind the other party.
At this time, Wang Junkuo endured the pain and straightened up, and Chu Mofeng's figure had been lost in his field of vision, and before he could turn around to look for it, he only felt a trace of coolness coming from his throat, and then he lost consciousness and slowly fell to the ground, and the moment the whole person fell to the ground, the corpse had already separated, and the blood in the cavity gushed out, staining the ground and the bushes red.
Tearing off the other party's clothes and wrapping his head, Chu Mofeng walked to his mount, turned over and drove towards the north gate of Weinan County. Walking to the north gate of Weinan County, Chu Mofeng shouted to Liu Santong, who was looking forward to the city wall: "The whole city has lifted martial law, and this king will return to Chang'an immediately, and we will see you in the future." Immediately, Chu Mofeng flicked his horse's head and galloped away in the direction of Chang'an......
As the saying goes, three people become tigers, and it is terrifying, and look at Xiao Yu in Chang'an City to strike again, and then look at Li Xiaochang's plot to rebel, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
