"What the hell are you going to do? Kill them out according to Lao Hei's advice. What kind of abilities do these dogs have? They are all paper tigers." The second leader, Black Bear, widened his eyes and said angrily.
"N account" Wei Dongyang shouted coldly, "Just rely on your two kilograms of brute strength?"
"Then what do you think we should do?" Black Bear muttered unconvinced.
"What do you think, military advisor?" Wei Dongyang asked in a low voice.
Military advisor Ge Liang pondered for a moment and said: "Act according to the opportunity and be ready to withdraw to Liupan Mountain at any time."
¡¡
"Deng Deng Deng¡ª¡ª"
A dozen Lanzhou soldiers rushed up the stairs like wolves and tigers, swiping their shining swords brutally at several tenants who were about to flee downstairs.
¡°If you damn dare to run away, I will chop you up¡ª¡ª¡± A Lanzhou soldier who looked like a leader said viciously.
"Keng¡ª¡ª"
Daniel jumped over with a vertical leap, and Fang Tian's painted halberd flashed an arc of light and caught the jumping little leader.
The little leader was caught off guard and rolled downstairs, groaning as he fell. When he got up again, his face was full of peach blossoms, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. He was obviously furious.
"Kill that boy!" The little leader jumped up, roared repeatedly, waved the Mo Dao in his hand and pointed it at the big man at the top of the stairs.
"Hahaha - so happy, what a damn relief." The second leader Black Bear strode over, patted the big bull on the shoulder with his big fluffy hands, and said loudly and cheerfully, "This little brother has great arm strength."
A few days ago, although the two parties fought on Liupan Mountain, there was no chance for a real close-quarters confrontation, so Yang Xiao and Wei Dongyang met and did not know each other. As the robbers of the Liupan Mountain Military Division, they only knew that on Liupan Mountain, they suffered a secret loss from Qin Mansion who came from Luoyang. At this time, they did not think of Qin Mansion and Yang Xiao and Da in front of them. Ox phase peg.
Daniu Honest and Black Bear have similar minds. The two of them stand by the stairs and show sympathy to each other, but they have already angered the Lanzhou Prefecture soldiers who are always domineering. Without any urging from the little leader, everyone rushed upstairs again as if they had been beaten to death.
At this time, the leading general downstairs also saw clearly what was happening in front of him. These few people in Lanzhou City dared to blatantly stroke the tiger beards of the Lanzhou soldiers. It seemed that they had something to rely on, but he did not dissuade them at this moment. How about letting your subordinates go make some noise? Maybe we can find out their background? Lest this little lieutenant himself get kicked onto the steel plate. If it is really ordinary and reckless, he has plenty of means to deal with it.
The black bear has a tall body, broad bones, and thick muscles, like a mountain. It uses a ghost-headed sword to make tigers and tigers angry. The two of them guard there and beat the soldiers, making them howl and scream. The gourds rolled down the stairs one by one, no longer daring to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
When the general saw this, his heart became tense. He was coming with bad intentions. He was beaten to a pulp in the first attack. Those two rough guys are indeed very skilled in martial arts. It seems that the people behind them are of extraordinary origins and their aura is extraordinary.
In the middle is a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties who has a calm demeanor, two bright eyes, and high sun bulges on both sides. At first glance, he is a master of both internal and external skills; on the right is a middle-aged scribe of similar age. , he was standing there with a dignified look, his eyes were deep and his wisdom was like the sea; and on the left was a young man with short hair, his calm face looked resolute and cold.
"Stop" the deputy general quickly called to the castrated men.
"My brothers have offended me a lot, but I still want to pay attention to Haihan while I am on official business."
This general is very versatile and knows how to advance and retreat. Yang Xiao, Ge Liang, and Wei Dongyang looked at each other, and there was a hint of approval in their eyes.
"I don't know what to call this general?" Ge Liang bowed slightly and bowed, and asked with a smile.
The lieutenant general looked straight. The middle-aged scribe was skilled in etiquette. He seemed to be a man who had been in officialdom for a long time.
"My general's surname is Chang, and I have one correct name."
"General Chang, with all due respect, Heliando was assassinated. I'm afraid you are just being so brazen because of the situation."
Chang Zheng was stunned when he heard this. As expected, this middle-aged scribe's words were like pearls, as if he could read his own mind. After Heliando returned home after being assassinated at noon, he thought more and more about it and became furious. He summoned Chang Zheng and asked him to come back within two days. To capture the escaped assassin, Chang Zheng complained about the pain in his heart. Heliando had been sitting in Lanzhou Prefecture for several years and was like the "Emperor of the Earth". He must have had many enemies in the past. In addition, the Twenty-Seven Nations World Expo was about to be held, and he came from the Western Regions. There are so many merchants, wealthy merchants from the Central Plains, and three religions and nine schools. To find the assassin is undoubtedly to find a needle in a haystack, but I can't do nothing, so I have to pull a group of Lanzhou soldiers to create some noise in the city to let He General Lian Duo, take a look.
"how do I say this? "Chang Zheng saw through his thoughts and asked for advice respectfully.
Ge Liang smiled and said: "Let me make a suggestion. General He returned to the city and was assassinated. He was knocked down by an unknown weapon at the last moment. General Chang, do you know what kind of weapon that was?"
"What weapon?"
"Could it be that the general doesn't remember the Huainan army's attack on Luoyang that day?"
Chang Zheng exclaimed in surprise: "You mean that weapon is a bomb invented by His Highness Changsun?"
"Hehehe¡ª¡ª" Ge Liang said with a smile, "General Chang is indeed well-informed."
"Then you mean His Highness Changsun sent someone to assassinate General He?" Chang Zheng's face suddenly darkened when he saw the middle-aged scribe confirming it.
"That's not necessarily the case," Ge Liang said. "The Twenty-Seven Nations World Expo is just around the corner. Envoys and businessmen from all over the world are gathering in Lanzhou, and there are countless three religions and nine schools."
"What do you mean by that?" Chang Zheng became confused when he heard this.
Ge Liang walked down the stairs slowly, came to Chang Zheng, and said seriously: "I suggest you go back and report to General Heliando, and ask him how many of his opponents are related to the Luoyang bomb. Follow this route The clues will get twice the result with half the effort, don¡¯t you think so, General Chang?¡±
Chang Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said loudly: "Sir, you really have a good plan. I will go back right now."
Lanzhou City, the residence of General Heliando
Chang Zheng stood respectfully beside Heliando and told him exactly what Ge Liang said in Shifang Inn.
Helianduo nodded repeatedly after hearing this. The middle-aged scribe Ge Liangti's opinions were very pertinent and greatly narrowed the scope of the originally clueless assassination case. I have been in Lanzhou for many years and have many enemies. At least many of the twenty-seven countries in the Western Region hate me. Especially now that I am on the side of Tubo. The relationship between Tubo and Tuyuhun has been tense in recent years. The border wars are endless, and the Tubo Kingdom has the potential to invade Tuyuhun. Do the Tuyuhun monarchs and ministers hate their own blood? After the opening of the Twenty-Seven Kingdom Expo, I am afraid there will be two more groups of enemies, one group is from The other group from the Sui Dynasty coming from the east were Shangguan Beloved who had already arrived in the city and was preparing to raise an army to investigate.
Alas - but Tubo has risen and is no longer the small border country that relied on the Sui Dynasty. The times are different, and what can be done about it?
Enemies, enemies related to the Luoyang soil bomb? Heliando's mind suddenly lit up when he thought of this.
"Chang Zheng," Helianduo asked, "What's the news from Liangzhou City?"
"The commander-in-chief means¡ª¡ª"
"We have opened the 27-nation World Expo in Lanzhou City, replacing Zhangye. Is there any news from Luoyang?"
Chang Zhengdao: "We have some news about the commander-in-chief. A general sent from Luoyang named Cui Xuanji arrived in Liangzhou a few days ago with more than 10,000 Chang'an soldiers."
"Cui Xuanji?" Helianduo underestimated, unable to remember that there was such a general named Cui in the Daxing Palace.
"Commander" Chang Zheng stepped forward and said: "This Cui Xuanji is a distant relative of Cui Yixuan, a popular figure next to the current prince."
¡°Hehehehe¡ª¡ª¡± Helianduo sneered, ¡°Cui Shi, a relative of the Minister of War, has really extraordinary methods. In just a few months, he has laid such a big plan in the court.¡±
"We also brought more than 10,000 elite soldiers. I'm afraid the man in Daxing Palace won't be able to sit there." When Helianduo said this, his eyes suddenly burst into light.
Although more than 10,000 elite soldiers are not in his eyes, the meaning behind them is thought-provoking.
Does Daxing Palace know that he has joined the Tubo Kingdom?
Who cares about being a thief, Helianduo thought in his mind that Daxing Palace was not taking care of itself now, so how could it care about him? As long as he followed Tubo and helped him destroy Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun would be his territory. What would he have to fear then? Daxing Palace
"Then there was no other news about the 10,000 elite soldiers brought by Cui Xuanji?"
"We left Liangzhou City yesterday, and we are about to arrive in Lanzhou," Chang Zheng replied, "General, do you think that the assassin is from Cui Xuanji?"
Helianduo¡¯s eyes narrowed and he said in a cold voice: ¡°Currently, only Daxing Palace has soil bombs. Do you think it¡¯s them?¡±
Chang Zheng was shocked. It didn't matter whether he was Cui Xuanji or not. General He wanted to use this as a hook to break away from the Sui Dynasty. It seemed that Cui Xuanji was going to suffer.
Sure enough, Helian Duo's cold voice sounded: "Chang Zheng called all the guards and counselors here. I, the general, have something to say."
"Yes, I will go right away."
Another wing of Heliando Mansion
Shangguan Chong'er and several staff brought from Zhangye were sitting in the room discussing matters.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside. Several people stood up and walked towards the entrance, opening the room.I saw that the courtyard in the distance was filled with Lanzhou soldiers standing at three steps, one post, and five steps.
Shangguan Beloved frowned slightly, what did Heliando want to do? He really dared to brazenly rebel?
¡°General, they want to imprison us,¡± a guard next to him said harshly.
"What are you doing?" Shangguan Chong'er came out and said coldly, "Call your General He quickly."
The leader chuckled and said: "General Shangguan, please forgive me for obeying my order. General He said you can live here with peace of mind. As for the Zhangye soldiers you brought to the city, we, General He, will treat them well."
"There's nothing you dare not do," the leader said with a smile, "General He just said that he will marry General you when we are done. It will be difficult for you to be a widow for so many years."
"Unbridled" Shangguan Chong'er had never heard such nonsense and was already furious. .
