Zhao Chengxiao, whose pseudonym was "Zhao Heizi", found an inconspicuous opportunity, whispered a few words to Qiu Yizhi, and then laughed loudly: "Hahaha, what kind of persuasion department is really not worthy of its name! We beat him to pieces in just a few seconds. I heard that the emperor is currently at war with Prince Youyan. How can he defeat the wise and powerful Prince Youyan if he relies on you guys
The iron-headed dragon dressed as a "mountain eagle" also echoed: "You want me to see these bastards from the Good Encouragement Department just doing menial jobs like washing dishes and wiping tables, and going into battle to kill the enemy? Damn! They deserve it too!" "
Zhao Heizi took over the conversation and said, "Didn't they say that they took over the task of escorting the imperial prisoners today? I want to see what kind of imperial prisoners they are, and they actually have to dispatch so many soldiers to escort them?" After that, he gave orders. The subordinate said, "Young men, help me push the prison van in!"
The ground of the Taoist temple hall was extremely damaged, and there were two stone steps from the outside to the inside. Everyone tried their best to push the prison cart holding Dai Luanxiang in.
Qiu Yizhi was tied loosely and symbolically in a corner with a rope. He peeked in the direction of the prison car and saw a man in the prison car who was slender and handsome. Although he was wearing prison clothes, he naturally showed an air of calmness and dignity. The look on his face—it was indeed Dai Luanxiang, the famous Han general.
Qiu Yi had fought hand-to-hand with Dai Luanxiang on the battlefield a few days ago, and even talked to him under the introduction of his adoptive father Youyan King Zheng Rong. Seeing that this majestic and famous general was now reduced to a prisoner, he felt extremely emotional. . But he was even more afraid that Dai Luanxiang would recognize his appearance and his plan would fail, so he quickly lowered his head, raised his ears, and listened carefully to the movements in the hall.
I heard Zhao Heizi say to Dai Luanxiang very respectfully: "This good man is a loyal minister and a good general at first glance. He must have offended the treacherous minister and the ignorant king, so he was framed by this group of hawks and dogs from the Good Counseling Department and escorted here. I really feel wronged to you."
Dai Luanxiang saw that the ground in the hall was covered with blood, and thirty or forty mutilated corpses were lying in random directions, and he knew that a fight had just occurred here. But after all, he is a veteran who has experienced battles for a long time. He did not panic when he saw such a scene, and did not answer the question. Instead, he asked: "Where did this strong man come from? You have offended the Secretary of Encouragement. Do you know the consequences?"
Zhao Heizi replied: "The villain is just a penniless junior in the world, why should he care about it? This counselor has always bullied the weak. The villain only acted out of righteous indignation. How could he care about the consequences?"
Jin Deqiang, who was tied up like a rice dumpling, listened to Zhao Heizi's high-sounding words and hurriedly cursed: "You kid farted! Who bullied the weak? You are the bully who has no integrity and bullies the good! Tell you, you are farting now! It’s not too late for me to come out. If the Zajia family is happy, I’ll give you a quick knife in Caishi’s mouth to save you from the pain of Ling Chi!”
Zhao Heizi didn't have time to refute after hearing this, but the "Mountain Eagle" Tietou Jiao scolded him first: "You're not fucking honest? Come on, slap me!"
The two tall and thick men under him agreed, raised their arms, and slapped Jin Deqiang numerous times on the face. How could Jin Deqiang, a man who was used to being pampered and pampered, withstand such a beating? In just a moment, his mouth was covered with blood and he fainted.
Seeing this, Zhao Heizi smiled "hum" in his nostrils and said, "I am talking to this good man. If any of you dare to interrupt, you will end up like this golden eunuch." After saying that, he immediately changed his face and asked with a smile. Dai Luanxiang said, "Don't you know the name of this good man? I hope you can enlighten me!"
Although Dai Luanxiang was cared for by Cheng Yan along the way, he also suffered a lot from Jin Deqiang. When he saw the tall and dark man in front of him teaching him a lesson, he felt very happy and said: "The last general Dai Luanxiang, I don't know how powerful the warrior is. What’s your surname?”
When Zhao Chengxiao and Tietou Jiao heard the words "Dai Luanxiang", they quickly pretended to be extremely surprised and bowed their heads: "It turns out to be Dai Luanxiang, Marshal Dai!"
Dai Luanxiang's reputation is well-known throughout the country, and there are many people who admire him like this. But now that he is in an unexpected situation, there are still people who can admire him so much. Dai Luanxiang can't help but be touched: "Alas! With Dai's current status, how many strong men can Dai is very happy to call me 'Marshal'!"
Zhao Heizi knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up, and said: "Marshal Dai is so famous that everyone in the world doesn't know about it. Even though I fell into the trap of being a bandit on Stone Forest Mountain, I admire him wholeheartedly and always want to defect to the marshal. But thinking about it I am from a humble background and have a bad reputation, so I don’t dare to come here to seek trouble. I never expected to meet the marshal here. This is really God’s will!”
He suddenly remembered that Dai Luanxiang was still in the prison car, and hurriedly cursed himself: "Oh! I am such a fool! The marshal has been in the prison car for so long, and I was still talking. Why didn't I think of letting the marshal out? "After that, he started to dismantle the prison car himself.
However, Guan Shansi's prison car was built very solidly, and Zhao Heizi was unable to do anything with it with his bare hands. When everyone saw this, they hurriedly came over to help. After wasting all their efforts, they finally tore the prison car into pieces and then helped Dai Luanxiang down.
Dai Luanxiang stood in the prison car for a whole day. His limbs were already weak, but he was still wearing a pair of extremely heavy wooden shackles, and he immediately collapsed.
Zhao Heizi was really anxious when he saw it. He turned around and asked Cheng Yan: "Hey! I think you are the leader! Where is the key to the wooden shackles? Hand it over to me quickly!"
Cheng Yan said: "This brave man, Marshal Dai, may have been wronged, but the court has its own rules and regulations. If you open this shackles without authorization, it will be equivalent to a prison robbery, and it will be a disaster!"
Zhao Chengxiao said heartily: "Two months ago, I really robbed the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and the person I rescued was Prince Youyan, who had a higher status than Dai Luanxiang. He was already a heinous prisoner of the imperial court, but now Aren’t you living a good life today?”
So he chuckled and said: "You kid is about to go to see the King of Hell, but you are still thinking about whether I am dead or alive... You are a man. Well, I won't embarrass you. Come here, help me. Give this official a try and search him!"
Someone on both sides had already obeyed the order and came forward and started groping around Cheng Yan.
Cheng Yan was not tied up any more tightly than Jin De, so he could only watch helplessly as the bandits retrieved a bunch of keys from his body, opened the shackles on Dai Luanxiang, and finally sighed to himself: This mission was finally screwed up. Got it!
However, Zhao Chengxiao ignored him and ordered his men to strip off the clothes of several soldiers of the Guanshan Division and make them into a futon. He supported Dai Luanxiang on the futon and cooked the food. He also took the ready-made wine and mutton and gave them to him to eat.
Dai Luanxiang came from a family of generals, and his health was already good. After drinking some wine and meat, he had regained his strength. He said to Zhao Heizi: "Dai is a right and wrong person now. Dai takes the good intentions of this strong man seriously. This strong man once It seems that he is not an ordinary person, and he will have his own use in the future. If the future of a warrior is delayed because of Dai, then Dai will be guilty of a big sin!"
Zhao Chengxiao has admired Dai Luanxiang for a long time, and was very moved after hearing his words. However, he could not identify himself at the moment, but said: "The villain is falling grass on Shilin Mountain. Although it is far away from here, the terrain on the mountain is dangerous and the soldiers There is enough food, and the officers and soldiers have been rejected in several encirclement and suppression campaigns. Why don't Marshal Dai follow the villain up the mountain to avoid the limelight for a while, and wait until the emperor changes his mind before going back down the mountain? "
After hearing this, Dai Luanxiang waved his hand and said, "The Dai family has been loyal for generations. The emperor was deceived by a traitor for a moment, so Dai should remonstrate with all his strength. How can he be turned into a bandit?"
Zhao Chengxiao was actually waiting for Dai Luanxiang's words, and immediately changed his expression to an angry one and said: "Well, Dai Luanxiang, I intend to save you, but you still look down on me as a bandit? I'm afraid what happened today is not up to you. Come on! Tie up this ignorant Dai Luanxiang and send him to Shilin Mountain!"
This was a plan that had been planned in advance, but after hearing the order, the soldiers were still stunned for a moment. Then they tiptoed forward with a rope, tied up Dai Luanxiang tightly, and then led a horse. Lift him on horseback and send him out of the hall.
Seeing this, Zhao Heizi nodded with a smile and said to Qiu Yizhi: "Quan Budong, do you have any reinforcements? If not, please follow me up the mountain. I still have something to say to you. Let's go. !”
Qiu Yizhi's disguise as "Quan Budong" was a little angry. He stood up and said, "There is justice in the world! There is no need for you to do anything. The students can just go with you!" After saying that, he led the servant who was pretending to be a servant. Several people walked out of the hall with their heads held high.
Tietou Jiao, pretending to be the bandit leader on Stone Forest Mountain, said to Zhao Heizi: "What should we do with these bastards from the Good Counseling Department? There is no use keeping them, so we might as well kill them!"
Zhao Chengxiao replied: "Brother, don't be reckless. Although these imperial eagle dogs have done many evil things, their crimes are not worthy of death. If they are killed in vain, it will hurt the Yin bird. But letting them go like this will not be an advantage to them, so why not Cutting off one of their hand tendons and leg tendons will not hinder their ability to make a living, but they will not be able to do evil again."
Tietou Jiao was originally Zhao Chengxiao's subordinate. Hearing what he said, he naturally had no objections and applauded: "This is indeed a good idea! Children, let them choose whether they want to keep the left one or the right one!"
The officers and soldiers of Youyan who had been left in Kinki by Zheng Rong had always fought openly and openly with swords and shots. The military regulations of Youyan Road strictly prohibited surrendering soldiers without killing them. How could they be so cruel? On the other hand, the dozen or so bandits who came down from Yunmeng Mountain were wild and untamed. As soon as they heard this order, they immediately became energetic and went to commit murder with their swords in hand.
So all of a sudden, screams like howling ghosts and wolves could be heard in the main hall of this dilapidated Taoist temple, adding a bit of sadness and gloominess out of thin air.
Although Qiu Yizhi had experienced several battles, he had never seen such a cruel scene. He winked at Zhao Chengxiao and asked him to leave this Shura field quickly.
Seeing this, Zhao Chengxiao nodded quickly and said, "The big deal has been decided. It doesn't make much sense for us to stay here for a long time. Let's escort Marshal Dai back to Shilin Mountain!" Then he pointed at Qiu Yizhi and others and said, "This right Bu Dong is my enemy, and I have something to say to him. Let’s take him back to the mountain together. As for the rest of the Quanshan Division, let’s leave them here to fend for themselves!”
After hearing this, the Tietou Jiao quickly agreed, pretending to be the leader again, and ordered everyone to quickly exit the Taoist temple and go to the west. Only a group of soldiers from the Good Counseling Department were left, covering their bleeding hands and feet, screaming in the main hall. !
Eunuch Jin Deqiang had the tendons of his left hand and left foot severed, and blood flowed from the wounds. He turned to Cheng Yan and said, "General Cheng, it seems that we have failed in this job. How can we explain it to the superiors? ” (To be continued)
