Chapter 27, the mysterious three
"Childe, there should have been a large group of people passing by here just now, and it looks like it should be a marching army. ”
On the pipeline to Yunzhou, there are three people and three riders at this moment. A man in his thirties, of medium height, with a slightly dark complexion revealing a sense of majesty, dismounted and observed the road, and then said to a man in his twenties.
"How can there be an army passing by at this time? Isn't it for Gongzi?" another man in his thirties with a grim face said, "Shall we change our route to bypass Yunzhou City?"
The man with a slightly dark face said: "We deliberately hid our whereabouts along the way, I don't think it will be for Gongzi, the nearest garrison from here is the Yong'an Army, it may be the men and horses they sent." ”
The young man with a handsome face, who had not spoken, and was called Gongzi by them, said, "How many people are there?"
"Five hundred rides. ”
"This is not a wartime, so many people and horses can't come out without a military talisman, could it be that something big happened in Yunzhou City? Let's go and see. The young man said.
"But Childe's safety ......"
"It's okay, like you said, they shouldn't be for me, let's go. After the young man finished speaking, he drove forward, and two men in their thirties also hurried to follow.
The three of them walked to a fork in the road and found that there was no trace of marching on the official road leading to Yunzhou City, but turned to the fork next to it.
"Where does this road lead?" asked the young man.
"I don't know. Both replied at the same time.
"Check it out!"
After the young man finished speaking, without waiting for the two to answer, he turned around and drove towards the fork in the road, and the two men in their thirties had no choice but to follow.
The three of them had not gone far when they heard the sound of fighting, and then they saw a building.
"Childe wait here, let Brother Guo stay, I'll go check it out." The darkened man said.
"No need, since it's so close, there is no difference between two more steps and two less, don't worry, I won't step forward later. The young man smiled.
"Okay. ”
The three of them continued to move forward, and saw the two sitting on the same horse, the man behind him holding the waist of the man in front of him with one hand, and the other hand on the shoulder of the man, and a military general sitting on the horse next to him, watching the fight not far away.
The young man looked at the two people sitting on the same horse and smiled, "The relationship between these two should be extraordinary. ”
The arrival of these three people also attracted the attention of the three people, and they turned back almost at the same time, and at the same time said, "Who are you?"
"Oh, it turns out that you don't know them either, and the master still thinks it's the reinforcements arranged by your Li Gongzi?"
It was Meng Xiaofan who spoke, and when he saw the three of them suddenly coming, he thought it was Li Gang's arrangement, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Childe was wrong, those two were not friends, but enemies, and the man in the back took the man in front of him hostage with a sword. The grim face of the man surnamed Guo showed a smile at this moment.
The young man also laughed: "I said that their relationship is extraordinary, and I didn't say that they are friends!"
"Hey~" The man surnamed Guo sighed and said helplessly: "You always bully me like this." ”
His words made the young man and the dark-faced man laugh at the same time.
"Who the hell are you?" General Wu roared, "If it's okay, get out of here!"
General Wu saw that Chen Qi's martial arts were strong, and he knew that he was not Chen Qi's opponent, so he didn't dare to step forward, but wanted to consume Chen Qi through these hundreds of people, and then wait for him to be exhausted and then surprise him, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Chen Qi's physical strength decline at all, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart.
"You should be the general of Zhao Ning of the Yong'an Army, not only what happened here, but let him send so many people. The man with a slightly dark face looked at General Wu and said lightly.
"Who are you, and why do you know the name of my general?" General Wu asked in surprise.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that you dare to send troops without permission!" the darkened man's tone turned cold, and there was a great majesty in his words.
In the face of this majesty, General Wu was a little frightened, because even the chief general of their Yong'an Army did not have this kind of majesty, he forcibly calmed down and said: "Xingyun Temple gathered a large number of suspicious people, there is a suspicion of rebellion, my general should be invited by the prefect of Yunzhou, sent troops to encircle and suppress. ”
"Full of nonsense!" Meng Xiaofan reprimanded, "These are all fleeing victims, how can they rebel? It is clear that you are colluding and acting recklessly." ”
General Wu said angrily: "There is no rebellion, why are you fighting against the officers and soldiers?"
Meng Xiaofan said: "This is going to ask you, indiscriminately, forcibly entering the temple, if you don't resist, are you waiting for you to slaughter?"
The young man said at this time: "Rebellion is a big crime of the Nine Clans, and you can't say it lightly without conclusive evidence. ”
"I ......" Faced with the young man's questioning, General Wu was speechless for a while.
"We just thought they were suspicious, so we came to check, and they stopped it, and there was a conflict. Li Gang said.
Meng Xiaofan slapped him on the head, "You are still talking nonsense, you have already been here once before, saying that we robbed your family's property, but you have no evidence, this time you directly brought the troops over, I think it was all your ghost." ”
The young man said: "Since there is no conclusive evidence, you should not send troops directly, not to mention that your sending troops like this is not in line with the imperial military system." ”
General Wu said angrily: "Fu is not up to you, what are you, you dare to point fingers here, if you don't want to die, get out quickly." ”
When the dark-faced man heard General Wu say this, his face turned angry, and he leaped out of his horse, then drew his sword in the air and slashed at General Wu. His series of movements were extremely fast, and General Wu didn't react at all, and he was beheaded with a sword.
"Yong'an Army, listen, your general has been killed by me, if you don't want to die, stop immediately!"
The soldiers who were attacking the temple gate immediately stopped and looked back when they heard the sound, and saw that their main general was indeed dead, the body fell under the horse, and the head fell not far away.
"You are all people who have been ordered, I will not embarrass you, stop now and return to the Yong'an army garrison, otherwise, you will be like this. After the man with a slightly dark face finished speaking, he pointed at General Wu underground with his sword.
There was an officer-like humanitarian: "General Wu is dead, and if we go back like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to live." ”
The man said, "Go back and tell him, and say that someone will explain it to him in a month, and if he is smart enough, he will wait patiently for a month." ”
"This ......," the officer was still a little worried.
The man saw his concern, "I don't have to lie to you, and I won't joke with the lives of hundreds of you, if you go back and tell him what I said, he will definitely not embarrass you." ”
"Okay. Although the officer still couldn't fully believe his words in his heart, he had no other way, they couldn't take a Chen Qi, and now there were three more people, and one of them killed their general with a sword, if he didn't leave at this time, I am afraid he would really not be able to leave. The officer made up his mind, and then left Xingyun Temple with all the officers and men of the Yongan Army.
The people of the Yong'an Army left, leaving one hundred and ten of Li Gang's men, who all retreated to the side at this time, staring blankly at Li Gang, who was held hostage by Meng Xiaofan.
Li Gang was discouraged at this time, he thought about it and planned for more than half a month, but he didn't expect such an ending in the end.
Chen Qi stepped forward and saluted the three of them with fists, "Under Chen Qi, thank you for your help." ”
The young man looked at Chen Qi, "I see that Your Excellency's swordsmanship is extraordinary, even if we don't make a move, they can't help you." ”
Chen Qi said: "Childe has won the award!"
The young man asked, "How many victims are there in this monastery?"
"More than 3,000 people fled from Yuezhou, Hengzhou, and Qingzhou. ”
"Didn't the imperial court send people to help the disaster a few years ago? Why are so many people fleeing here now? ”
Chen Qi said: "This matter is a long story, I don't know if the three of you can move to the temple and let the victims tell you in person." ”
"Okay!" the young man jumped off his horse after speaking, and then followed Chen Qi towards the temple gate, and the two men in their thirties also hurriedly followed.
"Chen Qi," Meng Xiaofan shouted, "what should he do?"
Chen Qi turned around and said, "Let it go." I hope that Li Gongzi can get lost and don't come back to entangle, we just want to help these victims tide over the difficulties, we have no intention of going against you, and when the court receives the victims, we will leave Yunzhou. ”
"It's really cheap for you. Meng Xiaofan put away his sword as he spoke, and flew off his horse.
Li Gang looked at Chen Qi silently, did not speak, and after a while, he turned around and left, and his subordinates saw that the master was gone, and quickly fled.
