After coughing a few times, Fan Ru raised his body for this. He stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes, and said coldly: "Huh! I didn't expect this official to be sick, so they revealed the wolf ambition of these boys. Humph! They think that the official is sick, so they have no ability to deal with them. Don’t forget, this Fujian Road is still Lao Tzu’s. Tian Road, how about the manpower we arranged in the defenders before?"
Tian Lu hurriedly replied, "Master Hui, among the defenders in the city, nearly 60% of the soldiers are in our hands."
"Okay!" After hearing Tian Lu's answer, Fan Ruwei took a deep breath and stopped his cough temporarily. His face also recovered a little of the uprising hegemony and occupying Fujian Road, and he shouted: "Tian Road, now in the name of the official, call all the generals to the mansion. It is said that the official wants to discuss with them about the Fujian Road. About the selection of candidates. Huh! They think that the officer is very sick and has no ability to deal with them, so they will definitely come to the appointment. You will mobilize the soldiers and horses to ambush in the mansion. The officer will take this to clean up these disobedient. Dog thieves."
"My lord." Hearing Fan Ruwei's words, Tian Lu didn't immediately respond. Instead, he hesitated and said to Fan Ruwei, "Is it a bit wrong to do it in such a hurry? It's better to wait until we fully grasp the defense. Let the army do it again. That way, it can also reduce the losses of the Jianzhou defenders! Besides, our people have not yet ascertained the strength of the officials and generals who are not united with us? If we do so rashly, we will inevitably encounter What an accident!"
Fan Ruwei didn't give up this idea because of Tian Lu's persuasion. Instead, he shook his head and said firmly, "No, you must do it as soon as possible. Tian Lu, don't forget, the chief has to deal with more than just enemies. These dog minions are on the fence. In order for us to safely control the power of Fujian Road and completely free from the control of the emperor Laoer, we have to deal with one person."
When Fan Ru said that, Tian Lu immediately seemed to have thought of something, his eyes flashed, and he said hurriedly: "My lord. Do you mean that Gao An?"
"Yes. Cough cough!" Fan Ruwei coughed again, and quickly covered his mouth with a silk scarf, and said intermittently: "This man Gao An is very ambitious. We tried to test him by illness before, I'm afraid it's already It aroused his vigilance, otherwise he would not have escaped from Jianzhou so quickly. Humph! If he stayed in Jianzhou honestly, maybe the officer would really be deceived by him. But since he If he runs away in a hurry, it means he has a ghost in his heart. Cough cough. If in the future my son wants to hold the power of Fujian Road, the most threatening one is Gao An."
Although Fan Ruwei said so, Tian Lu hesitated and said, "My lord. Even if Gaoan has great ambitions for Fujian Road, according to intelligence, Gaoan is still staying in Fuzhou, Fujian Road. Then Gaoan and the adults are early. What does it matter to do it?"
If it were normal, Tian Lu wouldn't have asked Fan Ruwei so many questions. The main reason was that Fan Ruwei's command was too big this time. If one is not careful, Fan Ru will fall short for all these years of layout. As an extremely loyal counselor to Fan Ruwei, Tian Lu is responsible for questioning any problematic orders that Fan Ruwei puts forward.
Fan Ruwei also knew that Tian Lu was absolutely loyal to him, so he was not angry. He finally stopped his cough and took a deep breath. Then he said: "Whether it is the big families in Fujian or the officials, they are not angry. What they hope is not to stand on the stage to master the power of Fujian Road. What they like to do is to stand behind the scenes and manipulate a puppet to replace the official as the governor of Fujian Road. But in Fujian Road, in terms of fame and strength, There is no doubt that Gao An is the most suitable candidate for them. Don’t look at the remote Fuzhou where Gao An is still on Fujian Road. According to the official’s point of view, maybe Gao’an’s army will appear outside Jianzhou City to assist those bastards. On the contrary. So the official must take advantage of Gao An's still in Fuzhou, Fujian Road, to completely get rid of these officials and family members. Without them, even if Gao An wants to do it, it will be a lot more difficult."
As he said, Fan Ru flashed a hostile look for the originally chaotic eyes, and said coldly: "As long as the official is here, they never want to get Fujian Road."
Tian Lu's ability is quite outstanding, which is why he can be trusted so much by Fan Ru. Fan Ruwei is not a fool. A loyal but incompetent person, how can Fan Ruwei, who was born as a cruel bandit, let him stay by his side for so long
Under Tian Lu's arrangement, soldiers loyal to Fan Ruwei began to assemble in the entire mansion. At the same time, Tian Lu also sent people to notify the officials and generals of various ministries to come to the mansion to discuss important matters.
And as Fan Ruwei said before, the people who were invited didn't seem to have any doubts, and quickly rushed to the mansion of the economic envoy.
When everyone just entered the mansion. "Archery." The leading ambush leader shouted, and the long sword in his hand pointed at the crowd. Suddenly, all the arrows pointed towards Xia Cheng and shot out. Hundreds of arrows densely formed an arrow rain, enclosing everyone in an airtight manner.
"Huh." Facing the arrow rain in front of him, several officials were shot and killed immediately, but Xia Cheng in the general snorted coldly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He picked up the sword with one hand, and hurried to the ground facing the arrows. Roll down.
Suddenly, in front of Xia Cheng, a wall made of silver light appeared, blocking all those arrows. After the silver light dissipated, Xia Cheng placed the sword across his chest again, but there was no wound on his body.
The ambushes in the entire courtyard looked at Xia Cheng in disbelief. Hundreds of arrows were shot at the same time, but none of them could hit him. Is this still a human? For a while, everyone was stunned by Xia Cheng’s amazing skill, but they stopped, but it didn’t mean Xia Cheng would stop. Faced with these five or six hundred people, Xia Cheng even rushed with a sword. Going up, the two soldiers standing at the gate of the courtyard were the first to bear the brunt. Before they could react, Xia Cheng's sword swiftly swept their necks, and suddenly the two great heads flew like this.
"Kill him." Seeing Xia Cheng's hands, the ambush soldiers came back to their senses. The ambush leader swung his sword at Xia Cheng in horror and shouted at the surrounding men. In fact, there was no need for him to give orders. Driven by Xia Cheng's astonishing killing intent, the soldiers couldn't control their emotions, and they rushed towards Xia Cheng.
In the face of these enemies who were killing him, Xia Cheng didn't have the slightest fear on his face, except that the cold eyes of the cold stars narrowed slightly, revealing a touch of red light. Immediately afterwards, Xia Cheng struck hard at his feet, and the whole person flew up and rushed directly into the enemy. The sword in his hand danced up and down like a butterfly, but it brought countless blood.
Although it was said that Xia Cheng's best long-handled Mo sword could not be brought in, only a few people knew that Xia Cheng's swordsmanship was no worse than his swordsmanship. It's just that this sword is not suitable for battle on the battlefield, so he usually uses a long-handled sword and rarely shows his sword skills. Here today, Xia Cheng let these enemies have a good understanding of what real swordsmanship is.
In the wing room, I heard a scream outside. The adults who had retreated coldly looked at Tian Road in the wing room. One of the officials smiled faintly and said, "Tian, you say you Why is this necessary? For Fan Ru to lose his life for the bandit leader who is about to become white, it is not worth it."
"Huh." At this point, Tian Lu could also see that Chen Xiuping was well prepared. However, Tian Lu would not give up so easily. He snorted and looked at these Fujian's most powerful officials and generals with contempt. Scratch it. But even if you kill me, you can never expect a good result. Now Jianzhou is in the hands of the adults, and even if you can escape from the mansion, you can’t survive. If you know how to advance and retreat, just Surrender quickly. I should plead for you in front of the adults." Tian Lu is also a human, and he is also afraid of death. Although he speaks righteously, if he can survive, Tian Lu certainly hopes to live.
"Hmph. This guy is still dreaming of his spring and autumn dreams." After listening to Tian Lu's words, everyone sneered, while Shen Tao of the Shen brothers pointed at Tian Lu and said with a smile: "Fan Ru is old. We have known the calculations of things a long time ago. You thought we would be really that stupid, and came to your feast without any precautions? Tell you. The generals that you have high hopes for have already been taken down. The secret letter you sent was also put into our hands."
Wu Gao looked at Tian Lu with a gloomy face and said, "Do you really trust the spies you planted as I do? Humph. After receiving your secret letter, I asked you to plant them in the army. All the running dogs were killed. Now Jianzhou is no longer the Jianzhou where Fan Ru was the old thing. After today, Fujian Road will also change hands. Hahahaha!" At the end, Wu Gao couldn't help but feel it. Rejoicing, Yang Tian laughed.
Hearing Shen Tao and Wu Gao's words, Tian Lu's heart suddenly became cold. Since they can accurately spot the team, it shows that they are not lying. Unexpectedly, the situation that he and Fan Ru worked so hard to manage was already seen through by the other party. However, Tian Lu still said unwillingly, "Even so. You are going to die here today. Humph. I have arranged more than 600 good hands around. You guys can't stop them. The big deal, we will die together. ."
"Humph." Tian Lu's voice has not yet settled, and another cold snort sounded. Tian Lu couldn't help but tremble when he heard it. It was just this cold snort that ruined his plan, and now this cold snort is again. The sound made Tian Lu feel an ominous feeling in his heart. Turning his head and looking towards the door, I saw a tall man standing there, covered with blood stains all over his body. At first glance, he looked like an evil spirit crawling out of hell. I saw that man stepped into the wing room and shouted proudly: "Your subordinates are all dead now."
"Hehe." Seeing Xia Cheng coming in, Shen Tao, Wu Gao and others immediately changed their faces. Shen Tao smiled and said to Xia Cheng: "General Xia is really brave. Master Gao has General Xia's help. No wonder it has been invincible all these years."
"General Xia?" Tian Lu stared at Xia Cheng, and heard what Shen Tao and Wu Gao said. He seemed to understand something at once. In fact, he had met Xia Cheng several times before, but every time he saw Xia Cheng, Tian Lu's mind was more on Gao An, and Xia Cheng just rushed past him.
And when he just led the way for Chen Xiuping, Tian Lu didn't look at the followers carefully, so naturally he didn't find Xia Cheng hiding among them. After recognizing Xia Cheng now, Tian Lu immediately shouted: "Are you Gao An's general Xia Cheng?"
"Huh! That's right. It's Xia." Xia Cheng stretched out his hand and stroked his long beard. The sword in the other hand was directly retracted into the sheath, and he looked at Tian Lu proudly. In fact, according to Xia Cheng's idea, he would directly lead his troops to attack Jianzhou. With the assistance of the Chen family, Wu family, and Shen family, it would be easy to break Jianzhou.
But their think tank must make so many turns and make Xia Cheng hide beside these officials to protect the safety of these people. Originally, Xia Cheng was very unhappy in his heart, but now it seems that this has indeed greatly reduced the loss. After all, as long as these leaders are removed, all the soldiers and horses of Jianzhou will be Gao'an's subordinates in the future.
"Hahahaha!" Hearing that Xia Cheng assumed his identity, Tian Lu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, shaking his head while laughing, just looking at the expression on his face, the smile was mostly wry smile. Tian Lu looked at Xia Cheng and Chen Xiuping and said, "Unexpectedly, as the adults said, you still colluded with Gao An."
The word collusion made Chen Xiuping somewhat embarrassed, but after all, they are old oilmen in officialdom, and soon said with a smile: "No matter what the process is, now you have lost. How? As long as you are willing to surrender, then In front of Mr. Gao, this official is willing to be a referral for Mr. Tian."
"Humph." Tian Lu heard Chen Xiuping's suggestion, but he snorted coldly, and drew out the long sword around his waist casually, pointed at Chen Xiuping and shouted: "Don't think about it. I can't get rid of you for adults. People are incapable of being inferior. How can a man be greedy of life and be afraid of death, and betray his begs for glory
After all, Tian Lu flipped his wrist, and the long sword swiped directly on his neck, and immediately a large amount of blood was sprayed from the wound on his neck. As the blood poured out, Tian Lu's eyes gradually lost its brilliance, and his body fell weakly to the ground.
Seeing Tian Luning's reluctance to follow, Xia Cheng's eyes showed some admiration, but this gaze was only a flash and disappeared. Immediately, Xia Cheng arrogantly shouted to Chen Xiuping, "Now Tian Lu is finished. Except, only Fan Ru is left for it. My brother has already said that Fan Ruwei cannot move him for the time being. You only need to have someone surround Fan Ruwei’s residence. When my brother comes, naturally I will go to see Fan Ruwei in person." After speaking, Xia Cheng turned around and walked straight out.
Although Xia Cheng's words were very rude, none of the people present dared to say that Xia Cheng was not. On the contrary, they all smiled and sent Xia Cheng away. When Xia Cheng's figure disappeared completely, everyone was relieved. Chen Xiuping's eyes flashed a cold light, and he turned to Wu Gao, who was next to him, and said: "General Wu. Now Jianzhou is new, the security in this city is still You have to rely on the general to maintain it. Especially for some Fan Ru who is a remnant, we must cut the grass and root."
Chen Xiuping's words were unclear, but Wu Gao heard clearly, so he immediately laughed and nodded to Chen Xiuping and said, "Master Chen, don't worry. Those Fan Ru can't live for the remnants." After that, Wu Gao waved his hand, and left the wing room with his entourage. Naturally, the other entourages could not stay in the wing room all the time. They went out from the wing room and took Tian Lu's corpse by the way. .
After seeing that only Chen Xiuping was left in the wing, Chen Xiuping's son said to his father with a face full of confusion: "Father. Didn't Xia Cheng just say that he can't do anything with Fan Ruwei? Then you let Wu Gao go. …"
Chen Xiuping smiled, but he glanced at the silent Shen family brother next to him, turned his head and said to Chen Deng: "Since Gao An wants to see Fan Ruwei in person, it's natural that we can't do anything to Fan Ruwei. But. Well, Fan Ruwei’s sons, daughters and wives cannot be ignored.” While speaking, Chen Xiuping’s eyes suddenly showed a trace of murder. Chen Xiuping might be his true face, but soon, Chen Xiuping is recovering. It's the kindness before.
In order to kill Chen Xiuping, Tian Lu had previously mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized in the entire mansion. Now that Tian Lu died like this, the entire mansion had fallen into the hands of Chen Xiuping. Naturally, Chen Xiuping and Ping will not let go of such a good opportunity to clean up the entire mansion. Except for Fan Ruwei’s wing, which does not move, as long as there is disobedience in other places, they will be detained. Cut and kill, for a time, blood flowed into the mansion.
After waiting for the night, Gao An finally rushed to the mansion and came with Gao An. In addition to Xia Cheng and Wang Xiong, there was also the mysterious young man.
As soon as he entered the mansion, he smelled the pungent bloody smell permeating the whole mansion. Gao An couldn't help frowning, and asked Xia Cheng behind him: "Brothers, have you killed a lot of people here?"
Hearing the question from the lord's eldest brother, "Uh!" Xia Cheng's throat moved, there was a suspicious sound in his throat, and his face was full of doubt. He shook his head and said, "General, no. I just killed hundreds of people in the inner yard. When I left, the front yard was already under control, so I didn't do anything at all?" Gao An's face was turned on after hearing Xia Cheng's words. As soon as it sank, Xia Cheng would naturally not lie to him. The mansion was so miserable, it could only be an explanation, and Chen Xiuping was here to kill him.
"My lord, don't think too much." The young man behind Gao An lacked the usual indifferent smile on his face, but showed a solemn face, and said to Gao An, "I still have to rely on them to control Fujian Road. But the adults can rest assured that it will not take long, as long as the adults successfully control the power of Fujian Road, the subordinates will have their own way to deal with them."
After hearing the young man say so, Gao An's face finally improved a little, nodded, and walked straight to the inner courtyard. Gao An is quite familiar with the situation of this mansion, so even if no one leads the way, Gao An accurately found the wing where Fan Ruwei was located. Here, they were already surrounded by Jianzhou soldiers and horses, but Chen Xiuping and the others also remembered Xia Cheng's confession, and did not enter without permission.
Gao An snorted coldly, and Wang Xiong, who was behind Gao An, immediately shouted to the soldiers who stood in front of them: "Why are you still stunned? Get out of here."
