Chapter 184: Layout
Feng Mu couldn't help himself to block in front of Wang Shouren, the drunkard Hua Qingfeng glanced at it obliquely, and the wine jug in his hand suddenly flew over.
The wine jug struck Wang Shouren's chest, Feng Mu jumped up and slapped his palm on the wine jug, the wine jug was shattered, but his palm cut a few holes, and some blood flowed out.
Feng Mu stared at Hua Qingfeng with a solemn expression, this person was crazy, and he didn't know if he was really drunk or fake, if he insisted on making a move, he would definitely not be able to stop him. But he looked at Master Mengbai and Xiao Chucai next to him, and neither of them had any intention of making a move.
"Ziyou, you step aside, this hero's martial arts are several times higher than yours, why do you bother to use your mantis arm as a car? Since he shot at me, there must be a reason for it. ”
Hua Qingfeng on the opposite side glanced at Wang Shouren, Wang Shouren's expression remained unchanged, and he looked serious. Hua Qingfeng opened his mouth and said, "Lord Wang, do you know a woman named Zhao Yuwu?"
Hearing this name, a trace of sadness flashed on Wang Shouren's calm face, he lowered his head, and replied guiltily: "Wang naturally knows, she is the third brother's sister and my best friend. ”
Hua Qingfeng gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice word by word: "Since you are a friend, why did you kill her?"
Wang Shouren's face turned pale, and he said in an indignant tone: "She did die because of Wang, but I didn't kill her, and when I arrived, she was already dying." ”
"Who is the murderer?" Hua Qingfeng shouted violently, shaking everyone's eardrums, Wang Shouren shook his head helplessly, sighed and said: "I don't know, I have been investigating this matter for ten years, and the murderer has not been found so far." ”
Feng Mu heard that it was Grandpa Xu's sister, which aroused his curiosity again, Grandpa Xu assumed the name Zhao Sanshui in order to cut off the past, how could it be Zhao Yuwu's brother.
Hua Qingfeng was not satisfied with Wang Shouren's answer, and asked again: "Then can you find any clues?"
Wang Shouren took out a golden bell from his arms, Hua Qingfeng's eyes were so sharp, after seeing the golden bell, his figure disappeared from the spot in a flash. Feng Mu was shocked, thinking that he was out of control and wanted to make a move on Wang Shouren, so he hurriedly made a move to stop him, and was slapped away by Hua Qingfeng, but fortunately, the other party did not use internal force, otherwise he would be useless if he did not die.
Feng Mu took a few steps back one after another, and was about to speak, but found that Hua Qingfeng had just snatched the golden bell with his hands, and his haggard face was full of vicissitudes, and he muttered to himself: "I just said that you had already discarded it, but I didn't expect you to stay by your side until you died." ”
Wang Shouren shook his head and said: "Your Excellency must be Hua Qingfeng, she asked me to return this golden bell to you before she died, but I asked someone to look around, and you seemed to have disappeared, and after a few years, I thought you were long gone, so I gave up." ”
Hua Qingfeng said movingly: "Ten years ago, I was plotted by a master of unknown origin and almost died, so I had to recuperate in a remote farmhouse and retreat for five years before recovering. After leaving the customs, I learned that Ah Wu was no longer there, until half a year ago Shushan entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, I had no intention to choose to betray Shushan, but I couldn't find out what happened back then, so I had to drink and spend time. ”
Wang Shouren glanced at the decadent Hua Qingfeng and said: "Your Excellency has a lot of skills, you shouldn't be so depressed, now that King Ning is rebelling, why don't you help me put down the rebellion, it can be regarded as serving the court and benefiting the people?"
Hua Qingfeng took the golden bell and didn't take Wang Shouren's words seriously at all, he sighed in a deep voice: "My heart is like ashes, I only think about avenging Ah Wu, whether King Ning rebels, whether the people flee, what does it have to do with me?"
"Since Your Excellency has made up your mind, it is inconvenient for Wang to force it, and it is imminent, so we will leave. ”
Wang Shouren said, and led the army to Ji'an, Feng Mu did not hesitate at all, and followed Wang Shouren's side.
Xiao Chucai looked at Feng Muyuan's back, a little reluctant, while Master Mengbai looked at Hua Qingfeng with a dignified face, folded his hands, and read the Dharma name softly. For Zhao Yuwu's death, he was equally sad and chose to become a monk, which is also an important reason. It's just that he has now escaped into the empty door and looked down on many things, but Hua Qingfeng was immersed in the past because he saw things and thought about people.
Wang Shouren and his entourage came to Ji'an, and Wu Wending, the prefect of Ji'an, was a big man with a vigorous and resolute style of action, ruthless methods, and a bold character.
When they arrived in Ji'an, Wang Shouren's army was stopped by many soldiers, and a fierce and vicious strong man stood in front of the formation and shouted, "I have received news that Governor Wang has arrived, please stand up and speak." ”
Wang Shouren pushed aside the soldiers in front of him, stood up without humility or arrogance, and said: "It is Wang Shouren below, dare to ask who you are?"
"Meet Lord Wang, his subordinate is Wu Wending, the prefect of Ji'an, I heard that Lord Wang fled from Nanchang without fear of difficulties, and fought with the chaotic party in Linjiang, his subordinates admired it tightly, and were willing to saddle the horse before and after, and wait for Lord Wang to send him. ”
"You and I are both officials of the imperial court, and quelling the rebellion is a matter of responsibility, but Governor Wu is serious, you and I can work together. ”
Wu Wending said loudly: "King Ning is going against the sky, and he will betray his relatives and leave, and your lordship, you are expected to return, and you have military power in your hands, and you have made meritorious contributions, in one fell swoop." ”
Wu Wending and Wang Shouren's thoughts coincided, and when Wang Shouren entered Ji'an City, he began to deploy counterinsurgency matters. Feng Mu did not leave an inch left and right, for fear that the good hands sent by King Ning would steal poison and murder Wang Shouren.
"According to the report from the spies, King Ning's troops totaled 80,000, and the elite main force was the palace guard, and the rest were all rabble, rivers and lakes, and they couldn't be put on the stage. In front of Wang Shouren, Governor Wu reported the basic situation of the enemy army.
Wang Shouren fell into deep thought, and sighed: "Although King Ning's army is an irregular army, its number should not be underestimated, how can we compete with the thousands of people on our side?"
"With a flag in hand, you can mobilize the troops around you at any time. ”
"It takes time to transfer troops, and the most important thing at the moment is to delay time," Wang Shouren said, then looked at the map carefully, and after a while, he said: "King Ning's rebellion this time is actually not fully prepared, and if he starts in a hurry, he will pay attention to a quick victory, so the first city he wants to conquer must be Nanjing." Nanjing is of great significance, once Nanjing falls, the entire Nanzhili will fall into the hands of King Ning, and he will occupy half of the country. So we can't let him succeed, the most troublesome thing at the moment is that the Nanjing Military Department has not yet learned the news of King Ning's rebellion, and has not made corresponding arrangements, and the time is urgent, and you must be prepared for bloody battles to the death. ”
All the officials present were shocked by these words, and Wu Wending said aloud at the moment: "Lord Wang, Wu is willing to take the initiative to ask for battle, lead his soldiers and horses to block the enemy first, delay time, and fight for the arrival of reinforcements." ”
"Governor Wu doesn't have to rush to death, I have my own arrangements, it will take ten days for all our reinforcements to be assembled, so it's good to delay for ten days. ”
Wu Wending had a bitter face and said: "The current situation is imminent, don't say ten days, even ten hours may not be able to delay it, is it really a definite defeat?"
Wang Shouren said with a smile: "Wang is confident that he will delay for ten days, and during this time, he will not attack us." ”
A kind of officials were dumbfounded, they felt incredible about Wang Shouren's words, but looking at Lord Wang's sworn expression, it didn't seem like he was opening his mouth.
