The Light, The Sword

Chapter 61: Abandon the city

Views:

"Bah!" Wang Gui, who was stained with blood on his face but blackened by the smoke, spouted out a splash of soot residue or flesh and blood in his mouth, and took a long breath.

Hearing the terrifying shouts of fighting, I felt almost nothing at all.

Looking up, the beacon smoke was everywhere. Although the defending sergeants were still in a tight formation and resisting the overwhelming offensive of the Jurchens, they were clearly the end of the force.

Compared with the Jurchen cavalry outside the city, the number of defenders in the city was originally very different. At this time, most of them have already been withdrawn. If they had not made various preparations, it would be a miracle to be able to survive now.

What's more, this time the Jurchen cavalry made a comeback, and the offensive seemed to be three points more violent than the previous ones. It was obvious that they had the idea of breaking the city and then quickly, and it was even more difficult to stop.

It's just that the emperor's commander still hasn't seen a trace until now. If it's a quarter or three too late, I'm afraid that all of these sergeants will be buried in the city of Shuzhou.

The light of the sword in Wang Gui's hand flashed repeatedly, and he smashed several Jurchen sergeants who were eager to grab the city, and muttered in a low voice: "Fuck, it doesn't take long to be so fierce and fierce."

"what did you say?"

A faint voice came from behind him, which bluffed him.

He lifted the knife and turned around, but was seeing the emperor's official hand pressing left and right on the heads of the two Jurchen sergeants who were about to snatch up. He suddenly cracked his head and broke his neck and fell straight down the city. The next piece was knocked down again.

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Kuangyin's mouth: "It seems that the matter of slandering your father secretly, General Wang has done very well."

Wang Gui chuckled and was about to speak, but Su Er raised his knife and swept, and killed three Jurchen soldiers who were about to surge up.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the Jurchen horse outside the city that seemed to be out of sight, and smiled slightly: "The fire is almost over, raise the fire and abandon the city!"

……

Zong Ying was sitting on the turbulent carriage. Based on the time when she was taken out of the prison of Dali Temple, Zong Ying hoped to calculate where Wan Chengmao was going to release herself, but he was helpless with the thick curtains on the windows of the car. It was tightly covered, with no sight of the scenery along the road, and the vehicle schedule was even more twisted. Although he had lived in Lin'an for several years, he was quite familiar with the streets and lanes of Lin'an, but he couldn't guess.

There were no expressions on the faces of the several servants sitting in front of and behind them, and they didn't even mean to speak at all, but they also let Zong Ying cut off the idea of peeking out the wind from their mouths.

strange!

Everything in front of me is really strange.

He entered through scientific examinations. Although he has not had the opportunity to let go of his post, it is only a matter of time to follow the rules. Therefore, not only the laws of the Song Dynasty have been memorized by heart, but also the procedures and regulations of judicial offices such as Dali Temple. I also understand that according to the usual practice, if you don’t bring yourself to the lobby for interrogation, you should take to the torture room to torture a confession, and go around in the Dali Temple prison like yourself, but you were taken without any interrogation He was really unheard of the situation that came out.

No one in the courtroom knows that in recent years, most of the officials in Dali Temple have been in power. The prisons of Dali Temple are easy to get in and out of the prison.

It is beyond his common sense that someone like himself was taken out of Dali Temple without pushing him. Therefore, he has no way of inferring where Wan Qiang wants to take him.

However, even though he and Wan Tusao have never been known as intimate friends, they still know a little bit about Wan Tusao's character.

He was born in the same family as Wan Tuan, and he had a not-so-different relationship in the past years, but he was arrogant and unwilling to meet the rich and powerful, so he had been up and down for many years and left idle, but Wan Tuan was just right. On the contrary, he flattered his boss all the way, slid his beard and slapped his horse. Since then, he has soared up, and has been sitting in the position of Yushi Zhongcheng second only to Zaizhi. If it were not for the scandal of Yue Fei who had been exposed in court this time, I was afraid that he would be ranked as the Zaizhi. , It is just a matter of time.

The act of taking refuge in Qin Hui with flattery as the rank of advancement was quite undesirable for Zong Ying, but he never felt that it was so unbearable.

After all, Qin Hui has been in the country for more than ten years, stealing the hopes of the people from the world, and there are more than thousands of scribes in front of the Xiangfu gate all the time. What Wan Qiandao did is only because of the morals, although he is more shameless than others. It's a little bit, but it can't be said to be a big evil person.

However, when interacting with people, seeing the micro-knowledge, only relying on Wan Tumao’s desire to meet Qin Hui in the past, and a half selfish desire for revenge, when he framed Yue Fei, his methods were vicious, and he did nothing but the extreme. It makes people see what a villain's heart is buried under Wan Tongsao's polite face.

Just because she was in front of everyone yesterday, making fun of him so mercilessly, Zong Ying knew that Wan Tongmao must have a grudge, and she was afraid that she would be the first to deal with it, and it would never be possible to put it so softly. Over.

Could it be that Yue Shuai finally came out for everyone? !

Zong Ying was slightly happy, but immediately suppressed the idea.

impossible!

He naturally has enough confidence in Yue Fei, knowing that this Marshal Yue is even more important than himself for the lives of his brothers. On such issues of right and wrong, he would never allow Qin Hui and Wan Chengmao to persecute this military officer and sergeant in the name of two donations to such unscrupulous parties.

Up to now, Yue Shuai is still unbearable. I'm afraid it's just that this Yue Shuai is accustomed to making decisions and then moving. This intensified the quarrel between civil servants and generals, and even led to the instability of the Song Dynasty. If there is no complete plan, with absolute certainty, Yue Shuai can be reckless and act rashly.

And based on his understanding of Yue Fei, he knew better that although this Marshal Yue had always cared about himself because of his father's relationship, he still regarded his sergeants as brothers and sisters, on these issues. It will treat them equally, so if they wait for them to come up with a solution, they must rescue all the sergeants in the prison together, and will never just make their own debut, let Wan Yumao release himself, so favoring one another.

Only in this way, he also couldn't see his current situation even more clearly, and he couldn't guess what Wan Chengmao wanted to do with him.

I thought I was going to take it to a secret case-handling location in Dali Temple.

Zong Ying secretly smiled bitterly.

Perhaps this is the end of the matter, and I can only resign myself to my fate, and I don't need to think about it anymore.
