Chapter 31 Ambush
Huang Qinhu was dejectedly invited to the village by armored warriors. What he saw along the way was even more shocking to Huang Qinhu.
Along the way, there is a post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. Not to mention people, not even a pigeon may be able to fly out of the boundaries of Heifeng Village.
When we arrived at the top of the mountain, there was a battalion of soldiers and horses training in the village.
The military system of the Shuo Kingdom: There are five troops, with one corps leader; the second corps, with one commander; the five corps, with the first team leader; the second team, the tun, with one hundred commanders; the second tun, the qu, with one hundred commanders;
One is the military marquis; the second is the department, with a Sima; the second is the camp, with a school captain.
If we include the scouts who were sentry along the way, there are now more than a thousand elite soldiers on Black Wind Mountain who are worthy of fighting.
Huang Qinhu had not forgotten who managed his eldest nephew's official career, and when he thought about Kan Yi's polite attitude towards his eldest nephew, he didn't realize that these people were all in the same group.
With such strength, if they were caught off guard and cooperated internally and externally, it would be easy to capture Yanzhou Prefecture.
But even if the blessed king could take over Ji Province, so what? The Emperor of Dashuo owned eighteen inner provinces, including a land of abundant fish and rice like Jiangnan, and a place for garrisoning troops like Saibei.
.
During the three hundred and seven years of Dashuo's peace, I have never heard of anyone who could dominate the world with just one province. How difficult it is!
Huang Qinhu is pessimistic about his elder brother's impulsiveness.
However, Meng Dafu didn't seem to think so.
"Brother, why don't you tell the brothers about such a good thing? Maybe we can still have the power of following the dragon!"
Meng Dafu rolled his eyes and suddenly shouted loudly, trying to attract the attention of the two leaders.
"Master Qiu, no, now it's time to call you General Qiu. How can we, Lao Meng, be counted as one of us?"
Meng Dafu's abacus was also very loud. Unlike Huang Qinhu, who had a son and a daughter, he himself was dying, so he could feed himself and the whole family.
The country has been at peace for more than three hundred years, and the hierarchy has almost been completely solidified. There is truly no poor family in the upper class, and no noble son in the lower class.
Unless you are a talented martial arts prodigy or a talented scholar, it will be difficult for ordinary people like him to have enough food and clothing, let alone cross the class.
Under such circumstances, King Fu's rebellion undoubtedly gave him hope. Who said that we, Lao Meng, were hopeless? If we were lucky, we might be able to become a hereditary and indiscriminate marquis!
"Brother Meng is also well aware of King Fu's righteousness. Are you willing to contribute your efforts to King Qing?"
The fifth leader, no, should be the current Zhou Junhou, said with a smile.
"Old Five, don't be rude." Qiu Daorong stopped Friday's joke and turned to Meng Dafu with a pleasant look.
"It's a good thing that Brother Meng abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, but the prince has other plans for the Weiyuan Escort Bureau. As long as you and I work together, His Highness will not treat the heroes badly."
After bowing his hands, Qiu Daorong gave Meng Dafu a dose of reassurance.
"But these days, I hope you can stay in the village with peace of mind. There are many traps on the mountain, so as not to damage the peace."
…
On the other side, bidding farewell to Chen Zhennan, Chen Qingzhi went to the Yamen as usual.
"Master Chen, Master Huang, and Master Kan Yi, please come to the hall to discuss this."
Chen Qingzhi's buttocks hadn't even warmed up yet when a young official from You Xing came over and said respectfully.
Huang Xuelin, the only one among the four patrolmen in Yanzhou Prefecture who has not been infiltrated.
This man is a descendant of a wealthy family in the mansion, and his family members have elders who are serving as officials in the court. It is difficult to persuade such a wealthy descendant to rebel!
Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
Now that King Fu's rebellion is imminent, in order to ensure that all seven provinces of Ji Province are under control as soon as possible, such unstable factors must naturally be resolved.
As for how to solve it, hasn't Wu Kanyi already handed in his answer sheet?
"Two nephews, I called you here today because of a case. Have you heard of the name of Wu Zhaosun, the sword chasing the wind?"
Wu Zhaosun was the unlucky man who died inexplicably at the hands of Chen Qingzhi four years ago.
"Wind Chasing Sword Wu Zhaosun, my subordinates seem to have heard of this person's name. This thief is the third boss of Fengying Village in Dongchang Prefecture. Because he was discovered to have had an affair with his eldest brother's concubine, he killed and silenced him and then went down the mountain. Now his whereabouts are unknown. Why do you want to mention this thief?"
Huang Xuelin was born into a noble family and had always looked down upon those bastards like Lu Lin, and even scorned such disloyal and unjust people.
"This man fled to Yanzhou a few days ago. Now I have received a tip that he is hiding in Wangjiazhuang, nine miles north of Fucheng. I want you two to bring him back, whether alive or dead."
Wu Kanyi's expression was solemn, he put his hands on his chest and stared at the two people in front of him like an eagle.
The news that Wu Zhaosun died at the hands of Chen Qingzhi was deliberately suppressed by Yunlai Inn. Everyone in the Weiyuan Escort Bureau also received money and was given a hush order, so it is understandable that Huang Xuelin did not know about it.
Using the name of a dead man to trick Huang Xuelin into going out to handle the case, it is self-evident what Wu Kanyian was thinking.
Furthermore, apart from Wu Kanyi, the person with the highest cultivation level among the six sects is Chen Qingzhi. Now his breakthrough is still a secret in the Yamen.
Sending him to capture Huang Xuelin was also Wu Kanyi's mature move to seek stability.
"only!"
The two responded in unison.
"Go to the stables to pick up two fast horses and set off immediately. Don't let the news leak out."
After signing a sheet and throwing it to Chen Qingzhi, Wu Kanyi waved his hand and signaled the two of them to leave.
"Brother Huang, please give me your advice on this mission."
On the way to the stable, Chen Qingzhi looked calm and didn't look strange at all.
"Most of the people in the green forest live up to their reputations. Master Wu is also firm. I can take down the thief in less than five moves."
The implication is that Chen Qingzhi is here to share the credit.
Obviously, although he never said it, he may not have felt in his heart that Chen Qingzhi got this position through his connections.
Although this is indeed true.
"Then we'll have to rely on Brother Huang's methods."
They are all dying, so why should Chen Qingzhi not obey him?
Ah, yes, yes, everything you said is right.
…
"The six doors are open to handle the case. All idle people should get out of the way!"
Two moments later, the two of them had arrived outside Wangjiazhuang.
How could a concierge from a small village dare to stop this official in his turquoise embroidered clothes and six door badges?
"I have heard that there is a rebellious party here. The number is limited to five. I want to see the person in charge of Zhuangzi, otherwise I will be punished for treason."
He pushed the door open roughly and strode into the village. Huang Xuelin glanced at it roughly and gave instructions in a deep voice.
It’s a shame, they are the best at it.
However, there was dead silence all around, and the concierge who was acting hurriedly just now seemed to be a different person, quietly watching his performance.
"Five, four, three..."
"Brother Huang, there's no need to count. That head Wu San is not here."
"But you are right about one thing. The people standing here today are indeed treasonous people."
There was the sound of Zhuangzi's door closing behind him.
