Although he was very optimistic about Wang Xiong, a brash man, it was a pity that Wang Xiong was loyal to Gao An, and Peng You could only look envious.
Gao An looked ashamed and fisted at Peng You and Zhang Wenxin and said: "The brother is so stubborn that he has caused trouble for Brother Peng and Master Zhang. Please forgive me, Brother Peng and Master Zhang." For Gao An's apology, Peng You just waved his hand. And I didn't care about seeing Peng You, Zhang Wenxin, who originally hated Wang Xiong and hated his teeth, could only give up.
Pressing this matter temporarily, Peng You frowned and said to Gao An again: "Brother Gao An, are you really going to Fujian Road? In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't have your majesty's appointment. He can't control us anyway. I promised my brother that the position of Chenzhou Capital’s control is still yours. I want to see if the people sent by Zhao Go dare to come? Huh. I killed him, so I'm afraid he won't succeed?"
When he said this, Peng You's face was cold, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. Obviously, if Liu He really came to earn this Chenzhou historical control, Peng You would really kill him. In this regard, Gao An shook his head and said, "The Holy Order is hard to violate. Whether or not the meaning of the imperial decree is the original intention of your majesty, but I am an official who is appointed by the sacred decree, how can I take the lead in violating the imperial decree? Since the sacred order sent me to Fujian Road, then I will go to Fujian Road to suppress the bandits. Don’t worry, Brother Peng, I will only take the soldiers and horses of my army on this trip, and I will return all the soldiers and horses to Brother Peng.” When he said this, Gao An’s face was Did not reveal any dissatisfaction, it seems to be really indifferent.
And Peng You, who was said to be the central issue by Gao An, had an embarrassment on his face. After he smiled, he said: "Brother Gao An said what did you say? Anyway, Brother Gao An helped me win Yuezhou, Yiyang and Chenzhou. Brother Gao’s contribution will not be forgotten. Let’s do it. Since the Gao’an brothers have decided to go, apart from the Gao’an brothers’ soldiers and horses, I will give the Gao’an brothers five thousand Chenzhou soldiers. After all, Fujian Lujun is the leader of the rebellion. Fan Ruwei’s territory, although Fan Ruwei has also taken refuge in the imperial court, but you and I all know how old Zhao Gou is now awarding the leaders of the rebels, he will definitely rule out dissidents. Brother Gao’an is going to Fujian, it’s hard to say. Since you will criticize Gao An brothers more, thank you for your military strength.” As he said, Peng You patted Gao An's shoulder boldly.
All the subordinates behind Peng You shook their heads secretly. Gao An has worked so hard over the past year to help Peng You lay a huge territory, but Peng You was finally assigned to Gao'an Five Thousand Chen State Soldiers, which was too unjust.
It didn't take long for Chenzhou to be taken down by Peng You. The so-called Chenzhou soldiers were all soldiers who had just been recruited into the army. Such a guilty thing, fortunately, Peng You still did it so confidently.
Gao An didn't seem to have any reaction, and he bowed his fist to Peng You and said, "So, I am disrespectful. Thank you Brother Peng."
"Hahahaha." Seeing that Gao An didn't make any comments, Peng You was of course happy. If it weren't for this imperial decree, he would have to send Chenzhou to Gao An.
But the result now is that he got Chenzhou for nothing, and also sent away the ambitious man Gao An. Immediately Peng You was even more happy. He smiled and said, "Brother Gao'an should not say that. You and I are brothers. Why do you have to live like this? Brother Gao'an went to Fujian this time. The journey is so long. Brother Gao An hosted a banquet to send off Brother Gao An." Hearing what Peng You said, he was anxious to send Gao An away. And Hu Yue and others shook their heads secretly, apparently disdainful of Peng You's behavior.
After coming out of Peng You, Gao An's face immediately became gloomy.
Although Gao An said so lightly just now, in Gao An's heart, where would he really want to give up Chenzhou, which he could only see? It was only during this time that Gao An had clearly felt the minds of his ally. If Gao An really accepted Chenzhou, he would have to face Peng You's army after a long time.
Instead of being beaten and fleeing by Peng You, it would be better to lead Fujian Road now. Although going to Fujian will inevitably encounter Fan Ruwei's troubles, Fan Ruwei has a very high reputation for this person, and he took his sacred mandate to Fujian Road to take office, presumably Fan Ruwei did not dare to go too far. Although he said that, Gao An still felt bitter in his heart.
Gao An believed that his abilities were no worse than any of the rebels and the leading Southern Song generals in the world, but he had been mixed up for so many years, and he still had no achievements up to now. A mere commander, to be honest, Gao An really looked down upon him.
But there is no other way, now Gao An can only accept this result. "Ah! It's General Gao." Just as Gao An lowered his head and rushed towards his residence, a voice suddenly came over, interrupting Gao An's thoughts. Gao An raised his head and followed the voice and turned his head to look, but he saw the one on the left. A street corner, a group of people are walking towards themselves, the leader is a middle-aged man, wearing a suit of official clothes, looks a bit familiar.
When the middle-aged man saw Gao Anwang coming over, he waved quickly, and at the same time accelerated his pace, shouting: "Sure enough, it is General Gao." "Uh." When the other party came to him, Gao An subconsciously saluted, but it was a little bit. Looking at each other questioningly, he said, "Dare to ask the driver if..."
The middle-aged man was not unhappy at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "Ah. General Gao is such a noble man, how forgetful he is. It is no wonder that the last general and General Gao just met in a hurry. The last general Zhao Wenyi, once He was an officer in Chenzhou. When General Gao led the army to suppress bandits in Chenzhou, he would finally be lucky enough to see the general.” Hearing what the other party said, Gao An remembered that when Peng You used troops against Chenzhou, he had already After being rewarded by Gaozong, he naturally couldn't just act like this, so he found an excuse to help Gaoju in Chenzhou calm the chaos.
At that time, the rebels were prevalent in Chenzhou, and many officials in Chenzhou died tragically in the thieves. Among them, there were even the former Chenzhou commander and some local officials, so Peng You's excuse was also appropriate.
As the main force in the capture of Chenzhou, the three Gao'an brothers were naturally the first warriors to attack Chenzhou. It seems that at that time, they did encounter such a person. Moreover, it was this Zhao Wenyi who took the initiative to surrender, which enabled Gao An to take down Yuanling without blood. Thinking of the whole thing, Gao An immediately fisted at Zhao Wenyi and smiled: "It turned out to be Lord Zhao Wenyi. Gao is rude. Please don't blame Zhao Wenyi."
How could Zhao Wenyi blame Gao An? Now Zhao Wenyi has taken refuge in Peng You's account, and in his eyes, Gao An is Peng You's number one warrior. In the future, it is impossible to say that there will be many places to rely on Gao An, so it is too late for Zhao Wenyi to coddle with Gao An.
After the two exchanged a few words, Zhao Wenyi said: "General Gao. This time the final general was ordered by Lord Jiedu, Lord Peng, to come to Yiyang to report on his duties. Presumably General Gao also has important things to do, then General Gao. Dare to harass the general again. Let me say goodbye and visit the house another day." After that, Zhao Wenyi paid a deep respect to Gao An.
Gao An also hurriedly responded and said to Zhao Wenyi: "Since Master Zhao Wenyi has serious business to do, just go. Gao An almost missed the adult's matter. Gao An is leaving." After all, Gao An nodded to Zhao Wenyi, and then turned away. go with.
"Major General! Come, the old man toast you a glass. It's also a bad luck to wash away the major general." In the largest private room of a luxurious restaurant in Jiangling City, Zhong Pan was raising his glass and sitting opposite him with a smile Wang Kang said: "This time the major general suffered a disaster. Fortunately, nothing happened. The old man was shocked when he heard about it."
Wang Kang also picked up the wine glass and drank it in one sip, but said with a gloomy face: "This time I have lost my face, how can I stay in Jiangling City in the future? It seems that after a few days, I will still Go back to the southern army village and forget it." When Wang Kang said this, his eyes flickered, and it was obvious that he was insincere.
Zhong Pan's old eyes were narrowed into a slit, but he saw through Wang Kang's mind, but he filled Wang Kang with a smile, and said: "Why should the major general be so discouraged? The major general's martial arts is extraordinary and won The re-use of Jiedu. The lord king is even more in charge of a party. The major general can be said to have a promising future. Why should he be languishing for such a small matter? Come on. Drink! Drink!" Then, Zhong Pan It was another drink to Wang Kangjing.
In the private room, it is naturally impossible to have only Zhong Pan and Wang Kang. In order to entertain Wang Kang, Zhong Pan also recruited many singing girls to accompany him from several famous brothels in Jiangling City.
After all, Wang Kang is a young man. When these women with revealing clothes and enchanting behavior were so hooked, the wine immediately poured into his mouth without hesitation at all. This way of drinking, even the Brewmaster would have to get drunk. Seeing Wang Kang plopped and slipped under the table, Zhong Pan's mouth curled slightly, but he winked at the singing girls.
The singing girls immediately helped Wang Kang up. Several of them stroked Wang Kang's face with lush jade fingers, and shouted softly: "Major General. Major General! Come on! Wake up." It's just that now Wang Kang is flushed and unconsciously drunk, how can he respond to their calls.
Seeing that Wang Kang was indeed drunk, Zhong Pan nodded, but waved his hands to the singing girls and said, "You all get back. Someone will pay you silver at the door later." The famous singer was really reluctant to part with the handsome Wang Kang, but as soon as he heard Zhong Pan mentioning the silver pair, all of them suddenly had their eyes lit up, smiling at Zhong Pan Yifu, and then retired directly.
Immediately afterwards, Zhong Pan gave three high-fives, and immediately several servants ran out of the private room. Under Zhong Pan's instructions, they stepped forward and helped Wang Kang to walk outside.
Wang Kang, who was already drunk, would of course not have any reaction, he could only be at the mercy of these servants of Zhong Pan.
Soon, Zhong Pan followed these servants and drove the drunk Wang Kang directly out of the restaurant, but got into a carriage that was parked at the entrance of the restaurant. The carriage was also in a hurry. Set off, hurried towards Zhong Mansion as quickly as possible. Fortunately, it was late at night, and there were not many pedestrians on the streets, and the carriages were able to run wildly on the streets without hindrance.
And at the moment the carriage left the restaurant, in an alley not far from the restaurant, two dark shadows quietly protruded from the alley, but they were two ordinary men in common clothes.
Looking at the wagon that was drifting away, one of the men said to his companion: "You immediately report the matter to Master Yao, and I will continue to follow." The other man in black did not speak, but just nodded, then nodded. He jumped in the opposite direction and disappeared into the night.
And the man in black who stayed turned around, chasing the carriage that was about to disappear.
These two obviously belonged directly to Zhao Yan's intelligence organization, the Zhao Jiayi Army Spy Department. But under the leadership of Yao Da, the spy department of the Zhao Jiayi Army, the various efficiencies were not so fast. In less than half an hour, this information had been handed over to the desk of the letter king Zhao Zhen through Yao Da's hand.
At this moment, Wang Zhaozhen was already asleep, but after hearing that Yao Da had urgent information, Wang Zhaozhen didn't dare to slacken off. He hurriedly got up from Da Qiao’s bed and rushed to the study to meet Yao Da.
After reading the information sent by Yao Da, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's face suddenly became gloomy, and he snorted, but he held the information tightly in the palm of his hand.
Yao Da saw it, but he hurriedly stepped forward to the letter Wang Zhaozhen and said, "My lord. This time Zhong Pan has been in contact with Wang Kang frequently during this period, and seems to have another plan. Today, he has just been released from prison by Wang Kang, Kang Yinyan, his subordinates thought that Zhong Pan must be trying to do something. That's why they sent the information to the adults overnight."
What are you trying to do? Humph. Of course it was trying to kill me. The face of Xin Wang Zhaozhen became more and more gloomy. In fact, since Xin Wang Zhaozhen became the Jidu Envoy, he has not relaxed his surveillance of Zhong Pan. Although Zhong Pan is a horror, but this person's city is quite deep, believe Wang Zhaozhen will naturally be wary of one or two.
It now appears that Zhong Pan is afraid that he wants to use Wang Kang to engage in some conspiracy. Speaking of Wang Kang, Xinwang Zhaozhen didn't think about using Wang Kang as his own, but the current situation made Xinwang Zhaozhen have to dispel this idea.
The things that Wang De did in Nanjunzhai these days, the Zhaojiayi Army's spy department have transmitted them in detail. Over the years, Wang De has secretly cultivated his own power from the beginning to now expand their influence in Nanjunzhai with great fanfare, apparently trying to break Nanjunzhai out of the control of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen. If Wang De is still alive, then Wang Kang will never be able to surrender to himself. It's just to kill Wang De, but it's not easy.
Wang De's vigilance is really too high. Before he believed in Wang Zhaozhen, he asked Wang De to send his son to Jiangling. On the surface, it was a support, but it was actually a plea. But Wang De delivered Wang Kang without hesitation, which made Xin Wang Zhao Zhen feel a little slippery, even unable to hold his braid. However, this time Zhong Pan and Wang Kang got these small halls, but it was a good opportunity.
Although the letter king Zhao Zhen didn't know what Zhong Pan was making, he must be against him. Immediately believe Wang Zhao Zhen said in a cold voice: "Yao Da. From what you see, how should we deal with this matter?"
Then Yao Da seemed to have guessed that the King of Letter Zhao Zhen would ask himself, and there was a rift in his heart. He just thought for a moment, and then he folded his hands and replied: "Return to the Lord. According to the subordinates, it is not suitable for the adults to do anything to Zhong Pan and Wang Kang. Although Zhong Pan has a bad heart, he is the prefect of Jiangling Prefecture after all. Regarding affairs, besides, this person has a very high reputation both inside and outside the country. If the adult does not have any definite evidence in his hands, and if he rushes to Zhong Pan, I am afraid that it will cause criticism from the inside and the outside of the adult and affect the adult’s reputation."
"As for Wang Kang, it's just a foolish man. The adults don't need to take him to heart. The only thing to worry about is what kind of behavior Wang De, who is far away in the Nanjun Village, will behave. This naturally has his subordinates. The spy department of the Zhaojiayi Army shares the worries for the adults."
Yao Da’s analysis is also reasonable. Xin Wang Zhaozhen nodded and agreed with Yao Da’s statement. Indeed, if there is no real evidence to kill Zhong Pan and Wang Kang like this, it would only be a big deal. . But just sitting and waiting like this is not about believing in Wang Zhaozhen’s character. She immediately believed in Wang Zhaozhen’s character and said to Yao Da: "Yao Da, you order to go down and increase the monitoring of Nanjun Village. I want to know Wang De’s character anytime, anywhere. Trends. Also, the monitoring of the ministers in Jiangling City will also be strengthened. Especially those who have close contacts with Zhong Pan."
"Subordinates understand." Yao Da didn't have any objections, and said directly: "Please rest assured, your subordinates will do what the adults ordered properly."
"Also." The letter king Zhao Zhen suddenly thought of something, and said to Yao Da hurriedly: "You send a few more people, it is best to sneak into the Zhong Mansion. Let me hide in. Remember. Don't startle the snake." Yao Da immediately To the letter king Zhao Zhen respectfully said: "Subordinates obey." After Yao Da slowly retreated, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes and looked up at the night sky outside the window.
At the same time, in the backyard of the Zhong Mansion, Wang Kang, who was already in a mess, was lying on the incense couch in a daze.
Originally, because of the alcohol, Wang Kang was feeling a burst of heat all over his body, and suddenly a refreshing fragrance came from his nose, which made Wang Kang feel transparent and comfortable all over his body, especially from his forehead. A refreshing coolness just relieved the hotness in Wang Kang's body, and Wang Kang couldn't help but let out an ahhhh.
"Hehe." A sweet laugh like a silver bell pierced directly into Wang Kang's ears, and Wang Kang immediately shuddered, and his head suddenly became sober.
I just wanted to open my eyes, but the sequelae of drunkenness broke out. Suddenly, Wang Kang felt that his head was about to split apart, and he immediately covered his forehead with his hands, constantly. Rub it up.
At this time, a refreshing touch was brushed on both arms, and then a soft and charming voice sounded: "Head, does it hurt? Let me take a look."
"Uh." Hearing the crisp sound of the silver bell, Wang Kang immediately felt softness all over his body, but the vigilance of being a warrior made Wang Kang immediately open his eyes. But the moment Wang Kang opened his eyes, what was greeted by Wang Kang was a gorgeous face that Wang Kang had never seen before.
Wang Kang had seen many beautiful women before, but Wang Kang had never seen such a beautiful woman in front of him. This kind of beauty even made Wang Kang unable to describe it in words.
The stunning white face, long eyelashes, Shui Lingling eyes, pretty small nose bridge, and seductively curvy red lips make people look at it, and they can't forget this face. As if there was an inexplicable magic power, this face was deeply imprinted in the man's heart.
"Are you?" Wang Kang, who is usually able to talk, looks like a child who has not yet learned to speak, staring at the beauty in front of him dumbly, not knowing what to say.
"Hehe." Seeing Wang Kang's helpless and flushed expression, the woman couldn't help laughing again.
It's just that it's different from the women Wang Kang usually sees. Ordinary women, even if they laugh, are extremely subtle, and they have to cover their mouths with their sleeves, and they must not show their teeth.
But the woman in front of her had absolutely no scruples in this regard. Although she didn't laugh very much, she showed her white teeth, which gave Wang Kang a bright feeling in front of her eyes. I just wanted to open my mouth to say something, but after seeing the woman's stunning smile, my mind was completely blank, and I couldn't think of anything to say anymore.
