Chapter 55: See Xiao Zhuge again
Hua Chong heard that someone was coming from Hongze Lake, so he secretly went outside the hall. Although it was daytime, it was obvious that what was going to be said in it didn't want to be heard by the minions, but I saw that the lights in the room were flickering, and all the windows were closed.www.biquge.info
Hua Chong walked around to the side of the hall and saw Jiang Ping lying in front of a window, secretly looking inside. Hua Chong walked up to him, also clicked a piece of window paper, and looked inside.
Jiang Ping's location is very good, he is behind the side of the visitor, and he can see the side face of the visitor, but if the visitor does not look back, he will not find Jiang Ping. Hua Chong borrowed the hole in the window paper by Jiang Ping's side, and secretly looked inside, and sure enough, two people came, one of them was Xiao Zhuge Shen Zhongyuan, and the other was a middle-aged man with a medium stature and white skin.
This man said that he had fair skin and looked pretty good, but it was a pity that he had several pockmarks on his face, which ruined the scenery. Hua Chong didn't recognize this person, and asked Jiang Ping in a low voice: "Fourth brother, who is that pockmark?"
Jiang Ping also said in a low voice: "He is the second village master of Hongze Lake, called Su Zhenjiang, just because of that pockmark, the rivers and lakes call him 'Mamian Town Sea Dragon'!"
It seems that Wu Ze still attaches great importance to the three swords of Taihu Lake, Hua Chong suddenly raised his vigilance, after all, he has not a deep relationship with the three swords of Taihu Lake, although he relied on the five rats to get in touch with others, and promised them the benefits of the Dragon King Order. But after all, the Dragon King Order is still in Wu Ze's hands, in case Wu Ze's chips are even bigger than himself, Hua Chong doesn't dare to guarantee that this Taihu Three Swords will not be sold to them!
I heard Li Zixiu in the house say: "According to what the owner of Su Zhai said, these big places are going to be shot?"
Na Ma Mian Zhen Hailong said: "Yes, after leaving Taihu Lake, we will go to the second master of Heishui Lake to report the news, plus the heroes of Chaohu Lake, Lotus Lake, and Saturn Island just mentioned are all coming to cheer, as long as the three of you nod your head, make up twenty or thirty thousand horses, it will not be a problem!"
Li Zixiu sneered: "You said that all the Lotus Lake has gone, why doesn't Jiang Honglie from Dianchi Island go? His deputy head of the Lotus Gate, can he not have the same heart as Guo Dada? Besides, the ten gates of the South China Sea are all gone, they don't all seem to listen to the Dragon King's order, right? Cui Bolang does not have a complete grasp of the South China Sea generation, at least I heard that Lu Tianlin will not buy his account, will Lu Tianlin also go to Hongze Lake? Among the five great lakes, it seems that in addition to our Taihu Lake, Dongting Lake has not moved, doesn't Zhong Xiong join in the fun? His power is much greater than ours in Taihu. ”
Su Zhenjiang's face turned red, and just as he was about to explain, Shen Zhongyuan on the side got up and said, "Old Swordsman Li, you are thinking about Zhou Xiang very much, and Shen admires it." ”
Li Zixiu waved his hand and said: "Shen Junshi doesn't have to praise me, this matter is a rebellion! If you fail, you will lose your head! Although our Taihu Three Swords are nicknamed thieves, who in the Taihu Lake area does not say that we are a fair king? Our reputation of Taihu Three Swords is not stolen by robbery, this is the love of our friends in the rivers and lakes. Say something that shouldn't be said, who knows if your Xiangyang King will be able to accomplish his great things? What if it doesn't? We don't have three lives, but there are thousands of people on these 100 boats!"
Qiu Zhiyuan also said: "What the second brother said is right, you are the general rank with one mouth, but this thing is false, and the people under our command are real!"
Shen Zhongyuan raised his eyebrows and said to Qiu Zhiyuan: "It turns out that the master of the big village is afraid that we will swallow your Taihu Lake?"
Qiu Zhiyuan didn't hide it, and said sharply: "If you want to come to Taihu Lake, I will never be afraid of you, give us Hongze Lake, who knows what is going on inside?"
Li Zixiu said helpfully: "The eldest brother is very worried, this Taihu foundation can't be destroyed on our temporary greed." ”
Shen Zhongyuan smiled when he heard this: "In this case, I will tell you the truth." First of all, why didn't Dongting Lake send people here, because Zhong Xiong himself was the governor of the right army under the command of King Xiangyang! When the army was raised in the future, Zhong Dashuai was responsible for leading the troops south and advancing Jiangdong. And the lord of Wu Dazhai of Hongze Lake is responsible for blocking the Yangtze River, blocking the north and south, the south is rich, imagine that the south is owned by me, what is the difficulty of sweeping the world?"
Li Zixiu and Qiu Zhiyuan both looked shocked, they didn't expect that four of the forces of the Great Lakes had already returned to the King of Xiangyang!
Shen Zhongyuan continued: "This is just to say that our sailors, on the dry road, the prince named the golden-faced god Lan Xiao of the Black Wolf Mountain as the vanguard officer, the silver-faced god Lan Yong as the deputy vanguard, and the 50,000-strong army directly took Junzhou! The first-class royal official Lei Ying in the palace is the generalissimo, the governor is the army of land and water, and the Western Xia State has sent troops to join the Datong Yanwangzhai and the Shaanxi Chaotianling to divide the troops to attack the northwest, and the Great Liao has sent troops to Liaodong to take the three passes!
Qiu Zhiyuan looked at Li Zixiu with a surprised expression, at this moment he was already six gods and no master, thinking that the king of Xiangyang actually had such a big power, he felt that he had agreed to this deceit a little early. Even Hua Chong and Jiang Ping, who were eavesdropping outside the window, were secretly frightened, but they didn't expect that King Xiangyang had been holding back, and he was actually planning to kill with one blow!
Li Zixiu was more steady than him, at least he didn't show panic on the surface, walked a few steps slowly, came to Shen Zhongyuan, and sneered: "Shen Junshi told us so much news, aren't you afraid that we will report to the official?"
Shen Zhongyuan shook his head: "Don't be afraid!"
With a sneer on his face, Li Zixiu suddenly made a move! I saw Li Zixiu shake his hands, and the short swords on both sides of his waist were crossed over Shen Zhongyuan's neck! Li Zixiu shouted: "Don't you know that my apprentice is on an errand in the imperial court? I want to come to defraud Taihu Lake! You are still tender! You deceived us into Hongze Lake with clever words, and you have not only seized Taihu Lake, but also accepted our brothers' men and horses, and you are daydreaming!"
Qiu Zhiyuan was shocked when he saw this, he didn't expect Li Zixiu to actually tell their relationship with Kaifeng Mansion, Xia Yuqi was also shocked, stood up from his seat, and was about to make a move.
Shen Zhongyuan did not change his face, let the two swords stand on his neck, looked at Li Zixiu and sneered: "I have long known your relationship with Kaifeng Mansion, Lu Fang of Trap Island is your disciple, and the Bai family brothers have learned skills from the old swordsman Xia. ”
Li Zixiu's swords closed slightly, and a trace of blood oozed from Shen Zhongyuan's neck, Li Zixiu said coldly: "Since you know, why do you still come!"
Shen Zhongyuan said: "Because I think you are a smart person, but now I find that I am wrong, you are just a fool!"
Li Zixiu tightened his swords even harder, and shouted angrily: "You say it again!"
Shen Zhongyuan also roared: "I said you are a fool! Since you have a disciple in the imperial court, why don't you join us?"
Li Zixiu smiled: "Am I crazy?"
Shen Zhongyuan said helplessly: "That's it, since you can't figure it out, it's useless for Shen to say more." ”
Li Zixiu withdrew his double swords, looked at Shen Zhongyuan and said, "Say it, I'll listen to what Xiao Zhuge who is known as the Zhiguan Jianghu has high opinions!"
Shen Zhongyuan took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped the blood on his neck, and snorted lightly: "Li Zixiu, I treat you as a smart person, do you know how smart people gamble money?"
"I don't know!"
"Well, let me tell you, smart people don't put their chips on one side!
Li Zixiu sighed: "You want me to bet on both sides?"
"Yes, you went to Hongze Lake, in the future, the prince will ascend the throne, you are all the founding heroes, if the prince is unfortunately defeated, you still have apprentices to save your life!"
Li Zixiu laughed wildly for a while, and after laughing for a long time, he suddenly shouted: "Then why did you, the smartest person in the rivers and lakes, take refuge in the King of Xiangyang!" Li Zixiu stepped forward and said with a sneer: "Are you a spy of the imperial court?"
Shen Zhongyuan wiped the blood oozing from his neck again, pressed the wound with his hand, sat back on the chair, squinted at Li Zixiu and said arrogantly: "Because I want to send the king of Xiangyang to the throne with my ability!"
Li Zixiu inserted the double sword back into the scabbard, applauded: "What a powerful little Zhuge , Li is convinced, I am willing to go to Hongzehu and his party, what do you think of the eldest brother and third brother?"
Qiu Zhiyuan said: "Listen to you." ”
Xia Yuqi also said: "I will go with you." ”
Shen Zhongyuan was just about to speak, but Li Zixiu took over the conversation: "We go but go, but there are two conditions, you need to agree, if you can't agree, you will leave." ”
Shen Zhongyuan frowned and said, "What a request." ”
"First, we bring our own grain and grass, if there is a war, we will listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, and we will not be under the jurisdiction of your Hongze Lake. ”
"Okay, I promise. ”
"Second, when our brothers enter your territory, they need to speak on our ship, and we will not go to you alone, but if you have something to discuss, you must come to us. ”
"You are a guest army, and some concerns should also be there, I will show the county lord and the lord of Wu Dazhai, and there should be no problem with this matter. ”
"That's a promise?"
"I'll try my best. ”
"Then after you fight it down, we'll go again!"
Shen Zhongyuan nodded and said: "Yes, I will fly the pigeon and pass the book to the county lord, as long as the county lord nods, someone will pass the decree to Taihu Lake, and the two of us still need to go to Heishui Lake, so we will leave." ”
Li Zixiu arched his hand and didn't see him off, and Qiu Zhiyuan just bowed and said, "I'm not far away." ”
Shen Zhongyuan threw the bloodstained handkerchief on the ground, and walked out of the hall without looking back, Su Zhenjiang was also extremely displeased, and followed Shen Zhongyuan out without saying a word, and the two went straight down the soft ladder and got on their own boat.
When the two of them were far away, Hua Chong and Jiang Ping walked into the hall. Qiu Zhiyuan saw the two of them come in, and laughed: "The two of you have been listening outside for a long time, right?"
Hua Chong applauded and said: "Yes, we listened to a good show outside, Second Master Li is so good that he wants to capture the old man, it is really wonderful, even the little Zhuge of Zhiguan Jianghu has been coaxed by you." ”
Li Zixiu said with a smile: "Lord Hua is still above me, this little Zhuge is just like that." ”
While laughing and talking, Jiang Ping actually said: "I'm afraid this matter may not be so simple." ”
Everyone followed the sound, Jiang Ping picked up the handkerchief that Shen Zhongyuan had thrown away at the door, and at this time the handkerchief was shaken open, and the handkerchief stained red by blood was embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, and on either side of the dragon was a goshawk and a hunting dog.
Hua Chong saw this handkerchief and exclaimed, "This is the symbol of the Imperial City Division!"
