Chapter 4 Clever Schemes

Xie Tong didn't say a few words, and also lived in the post station.

After dinner, he lay on the bed in the post station, thinking about how to steal this jade pendant and how to leave Yingzhou. He is now a left-sided general of the Tang Army, and if he is known to have penetrated into the enemy camp, he will be sentenced to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason.

He was thinking about these questions, and suddenly someone knocked on his window, Xie Tong hurriedly got up and opened the window, and the person who came was Yi Wuxing.

Xie Tong said in a low voice, "How did Big Brother find here!"

Yi Wuxing smiled and said, "I don't even have this ability, I have already been killed by Xue Yantuo's horse thief, where does the robber leader live, when will we do it." ”

Xie Tong pointed to the next door and said, "As expected, it should be living next door."

Yi Wudaunt said, "I'll go and deal with him, and then take the jade pendant and leave."

Xie Tong said, "Big brother, it's definitely not right now, if something happens like this, with Zhu Wen's shrewdness, he will definitely suspect him, and it will be very bad, I will visit Zhu Wen in a while, big brother is letting go, remember to be careful."

Yi Wudaunt said: "Brother Xian, don't worry." ”

Xie Tong said again, "It's best for the eldest brother to fake the military order, in the name of defecting to the Tang army, trick them into leaving quickly, and the younger brother doesn't dare to guarantee how long Zhu Wen's army will be able to catch up."

Yi Wudaunt said, "Is Zhu Wen really so shrewd? Hey, when I see a hero, I really want to see it."

His so-called insight must refer to the fight, how could Xie Tong tolerate him making such an unwise move, and hurriedly said, "Big brother, the business is important, everything is careful."

Yi Wudaunt nodded with a smile and said, "Then how did Brother Xian get out of here?"

Xie Tong said, "Lao Tzu has his own tricks." He packed up and went out to Juwen.

Zhu Wen still met him at the dilapidated headquarters. He ordered tea to be served, and when there were only two people left in the house. said: "Virtuous brother, don't blame the big brother for being ruthless!"

Seeing that he had returned to his old appearance, Xie Tong said, "How can this be! My little brother understands very well!"

Zhu Wen laughed, his face was also a lot kinder, he hadn't seen him for a few months, he no longer had the feeling of being refreshed at the beginning, instead of a tired face, he took a sip of tea, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, is the virtuous brother famous over there!"

That side refers to the Tang Empire.

Xie Tong followed his example and took a sip of hot tea. "How could it be! The little brother is still in a state of wandering, otherwise how would he come back here!" He didn't dare to tell the truth, with Zhu Wen's shrewdness, he would definitely guess his purpose and intentions, and it was unknown if he could let him go back and throw him away.

Zhu Wen smiled, "Good boy, you dare to lie to me." Is it true that Lao Tzu is deaf and blind? Do you still have to hide Lao Tzu's break with the Sima family in Chang'an?"

Xie Tong was shocked, knowing that Zhu Wen must have eyeliner in Chang'an, but he didn't know if the news was timely. If it is timely, you should know the deeds of his fame in the battle at the division meeting.

Zhu Wen continued: "It's a pity that you don't fight for it! Not only did you not hit the Sima family hard, but you also ended up in disgrace, which is really a shame for Lao Tzu!"

Xie Tong smiled. He said, "There's no way! The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, I'm a hairy boy, what kind of storm can I set off!"

Zhu Wen said: "Sure enough, it's useless!"

Xie Tong said, "How is the eldest brother here." Meng Kai: They didn't have any bad ideas, right? I think Meng Peng, they are very respectful to their eldest brother!"

Zhu Wen said, "Meng Kai has been holding a sword worship conference for a long time, although it was held inexplicably. But it was always the loss of the green steel sword, which made the general very unhappy. Naturally, there will be no good fruit to eat, it has been very low-key recently, but it is still not bad and kind, it is not the time to get rid of them for the time being, plus the eldest brother has recently recaptured Yingzhou, and he is in the limelight, how dare he compete with me, as for these two hairy boys, they are just sent to monitor me, how can I let them come nonsense. He paused, then added, "Another very important piece of news for you?"

Before Zhu Wen could finish speaking, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, followed by a knock on the door.

Zhu Wen said unhappily, "Come in!"

The people who came were Meng Peng and Lu Jing, and the two of them said breathlessly, "General Qiyu, the big thing is not good, the post station is on fire!"

Xie Tong was startled, knowing that it was Yi Wudren's hand.

Zhu Wen snorted coldly, "What's so strange about being on fire, just fighting the fire, you don't need to notify me of this little thing!"

Meng Peng said cautiously, "The fire has already been extinguished?"

Zhu Wen said: "It's all extinguished, what are you going to report for!"

Lu Jingdao, "But the master of Fan Zhai is in the post station, he didn't come out, and he has been burned to death!"

"What?" Zhu Wen couldn't sit still any longer, he stood up suddenly, his eyes revealing a fierce light, and said, "Take me forward."

With that, he quickly walked out of the door, flew on his horse, and galloped to the post station in a puff of smoke. Xie Tong and the others followed closely behind him.

Before arriving at the post station, I already smelled the pungent smell of smoke, the air was filled with all kinds of burning smells, and from a distance, the sporadic fires were still continuing, and the post station had collapsed for the most part, obviously the fire was extremely strong. Xie Tong knew very well what this sudden fire was about, compared to Yi Wudaunt's way and means of covering up his killing of Fan Zhai's master! It's just that this method is too vicious, with his Xie Tong's heart, he can't bear to do such a thing, although Fan Zhai's crime is extremely evil, but arson and burning the corpse are ruthless enough, and it is inevitable that it will not harm others. But after thinking about it, Yi Wudaunt's approach is right, the current situation is critical, if he can't cut through the mess quickly, he will be suspected by Zhu Wen and others, and all plans will be ruined, not to mention that the owner of Fan Zhai is innocent. On the battlefield, soft-heartedness and compassion are the most stupid.

Zhu Wen jumped off his horse and came to the collapsed post station. Meng Peng said cautiously, "General Zhu, the corpse of Master Fan Zhai is not far ahead!"

Everyone walked to the body of Fan Zhai's body, and Meng Peng had already ordered someone to lift the gray cloth covering his body.

Everyone saw that the owner of Fan Zhai had been burned beyond recognition, his clothes had been burned all over his body, his skin had almost been burned through, his hair had been burned out, the muscles of his face were hideously clumped together, his eyes were empty, his limbs were almost burned and deformed, and he had no other features except that he could identify the deceased as a person.

Zhu Wen didn't make a sound, he waved his hand, and motioned for his subordinates to carry the corpse down, after all, the burning was too terrifying, it was making people palpitate, Xie Tong looked very disgusting, I am afraid that he will not have the appetite to eat in the next few days.

Zhu Wen walked slowly around the post station, and said, "Everyone listen to the order, give me a good look around the post station, no one is allowed to approach, all the people who lived in the post station before, all I control, without my order, you must not leave Yingzhou, and the others will follow me back to the headquarters."

Everyone could see that Zhu Wen was really angry, after all, this was the leader of the thieves that Zhu Wen had just recruited, with 2,000 men and horses, and plenty of food and grass. It is very rare that now just after entering the city, he died at the post station, no matter what the reason, it is even more difficult to receive the people and horses of this Xitong Ancient Village!

Zhu Wen's face was as gray as earth, and when he returned to the headquarters, he sat on the big chair, although he didn't make everyone angry, but everyone knew that this fierce general was already furious, and he would burst into flames at any time.

Lu Jing and Meng Peng were even more scared, now that Zhu Wen was in the limelight, the two of them were not optimistic about Fan Zhai's master, so that Fan Zhai's master died, of course, they had to bear greater responsibility.

Meng Peng said, "General Zhu doesn't have to be too sorry, although the owner of Fan Zhai unfortunately died in the fire, it is still very easy to control Xitong Ancient Village, as long as our army presses the border, I am not afraid that they will not surrender." ”

Lu Jing said with a smile on his face, "What Brother Meng said is very true, General Zhu, the two of us are willing to lead the troops to Xitong Ancient Village, and we will definitely be able to take the village and return."

Zhu Wen couldn't wait to kick Lu Jing to death at this moment, this young man is too brainless, Zhu Wen wants the troops and food of Xitong Ancient Village, not to wipe out all the people in Ancient Village, they are not the imperial court's army of suppressors, there is no need to make such a meaningless loss.

Xie Tong also secretly laughed at Lu Jing, this person is indeed simple-minded, he didn't pay attention to Zhu Wen's intention to seek Xitong Ancient Village, and one-sidedly thought that it was just to eliminate violence and peace, which was really ridiculous, no wonder this person was useless. Far from his father's shrewdness.

Zhu Wen's face was not good, and after listening to Lu Jing's words, he did not react, but glanced at Xie Tong meaningfully.

Xie Tong said in his heart that the death of the master of Fan Zhai was so strange, I am afraid that it would be difficult to hide it from Zhu Wen, and I was even more afraid that he would think of all kinds of plans behind the scenes, so that he would suspect him Xie Tong, Yi Wuxing's side was already very tight, if Zhu Wen was allowed to see through the overall situation, it would be very dangerous for the soldiers to follow, so he was busy saying" General, I'm afraid this matter is not as serious as Lu Gongzi said, the owner of Fan Zhai unfortunately died, and we also expressed regret, but since it has become a fact, what needs to be done is nothing more than to redeem it, although the geographical location of Xitong Ancient Village is not important, but the soldiers, horses, and grain and grass are all needed by our army, Xie Tong is willing to go to the ancient village with Lu Gongzi tomorrow, touch the reaction of the ancient village, and make a decision after coming back to tell the adults!" Xie Tong deliberately threatened to go to Guzhai tomorrow, but in fact, he bought time for Yi Wuxing to leave, Yi Wuxing set fire to the post station, and when he knew the seriousness of the matter, he should be able to be alert.

Lu Jing had never seen Zhu Wen look at people like this, and hurriedly said, "The last general agrees with Commander Xie's idea, and will go to the ancient village as soon as the morning dawns, and ask the general to agree." He called himself the last general, presumably with the rank of military officer.

Zhu Wen's face softened a lot, and said, "You guys are too superficial, there are many signs that Master Fan Zhai was not directly burned to death by fire, or it can be said that he was killed and then burned to death by fire again!"

Several people all moved, and Rong said in unison, "What!"

What Meng Peng and Lu Jing thought was that there were actually people who killed people on the territory of Huangchao, and they were such an important person, not only accurate and well-informed, but also accurate, which was really terrifying.

Xie Tong was even more worried, Zhu Wen was too shrewd, and he could see through the illusion arranged by Yi Wudang at a glance, but he didn't know how many clues he could analyze from this illusion. (To be continued.) )
