Chapter 62 Bloody Battle
Mencius Mo did not speak from beginning to end, but his eyes were so fierce that he also showed that he would never stop tonight.
"Young Master has always been respectful to the wise and use his power." Lang Shenshui carried his back with one hand behind his back, stroking his green beard with his hands, and said slowly: "Captain Meng is a righteous person, and the young master also appreciates you very much. You put down your dagger now and go with me to see the young master. As long as you admit that what you did tonight was instructed by Han Yunong, then Zhen Hou's Mansion guarantees that you will never be implicated because of this matter."
Meng Zimo laughed disdainfully and sneered.
Lang Shenshui continued: "Young Master also said that there are two positions for you to choose from. First, the escort supervisor of the Marquis' Mansion, and second, the deputy commander of the Changxin Wolf Cavalry, you can choose these two at will."
Of course, Meng Zimo knew that he had long believed in the wolf riding.
After the empire reached an agreement with the Xiling clans, it not only gave the three major clans of Xiling to the throne, but also gave great power.
In addition to allowing the three major clans to master the wealth of the three counties, more importantly, the three major clans all have their own troops.
This is the power obtained by the Xiling clans who insisted on it at the beginning. They called it the goal of preventing the Xiling rebels from causing trouble. Therefore, all the three clans all had a direct army with no more than 800 people and directly obeyed the orders of the three clans.
The troops under the command of Changxinhou, Changxian, County Changxian, were called Changxin Wolf Cavalry.
To the three major clans, the team under its command is its most powerful force and the foundation for maintaining its own power, so it is built at all costs.
Although there are not many people, they are all good at riding and shooting. They are well-equipped and well-equipped. They are truly elite cavalry.
The cost of investing in this team by major clans is extremely high. After all, it is a big killer weapon in their hands. Zhen Hou Mansion has always been very generous in building the Changxin Wolf Rider.
However, this army was not convenient to station in the city, but was stationed in a mining area that was only more than twenty miles away from Turtle City.
Although the real master of Changxin Langqi was the Zhen family, the Zhen Hou’s mansion has always promoted to the outside world that this army belongs to the court, and the Zhen family only manages the court. Once a rebel bandit in the territory is found to cause rebellion, the wolf cavalry can be mobilized to quell the rebellion at any time.
In addition to collecting taxes from the people, the Zhen family also had another important source of wealth that controlled the minerals in the area under its jurisdiction. The iron ore in Zhen County was very rich. It not only allowed to trade with the Guanzhong, but also had horse mine trade with the Udha people at one time.
The Changxin wolf soldiers were stationed near the mining area and monitored miners to mine iron ore like supervisors.
Lang Shenshui claimed that she could have made Meng Zimo the deputy commander of Changxin Langqi, which was a great temptation.
"Duwei Mansion has been established for so many years. Has the court ever taken care of you?" Lang Shenshui sighed: "What you eat is not the food from the court, but the gift from the Marquis' Mansion. The Zhen Hou Mansion has been supporting you. To put it bluntly, eating the food from the Zhen family, but making things difficult for the Marquis' Mansion everywhere. This is just a traitor. I know that you have a deep friendship with Han Yunong, but a man should not stick to any brotherly loyalty. What matters is your future. If you follow the young master, you will naturally have a bright future."
Meng Zimo laughed strangely, Lang Shenshui frowned and said lightly: "Young Master has given you a chance. If you don't want it, then I won't blame me." He slowly stepped back, raised his hand suddenly, waved forward, and the strong man who had just made a sudden move from the bed was next to Meng Zimo. When he saw the gesture, he was the first to pounce on Meng Zimo.
Several blue-clothed swordsmen obviously thought this was a good time to make contributions, so they were not willing to let the credit be easily taken away by others. They shouted out loud and raised their swords to slash at Meng Zimo.
Meng Zimo's eyes cold and she growled. Although she was just a short dagger in her hand, she bravely greeted the swordsmen in the blue.
Lang Shenshui knew that these swordsmen under his command were not bad at all, and they might not be the opponents of Meng Zimo, but they were numerous and powerful, so even if Mencius had wings, they would not be able to fly.
He also knew that when a person like Meng Zimo came to such a situation, he would never be able to surrender. It was a trapped beast that was still fighting. However, when such people fought to the death, they were often extremely fierce. Although they could not escape the siege, they might be hindered if they stayed nearby.
He was a cunning man. After leaving the room, he quickly turned around and ran. He arrived at the entrance of the stairs and quickly went downstairs. At this moment, at the entrance of the stairs, two swordsmen in green were protecting a young man in purple, both holding a knife in one hand and holding a torch in the other.
"Young Master, you're caught." Lang Shenshui saw the young master in purple and immediately asked for credit: "It's hard for him to fly tonight."
Of course, the young master in purple is Zhen Yujiang from Zhen Hou’s mansion.
Zhen Yujiang smiled and said, "Mr. Lang, you are indeed a smart and intelligent person. This plan is really amazing."
"My subordinates are just talking." Lang Shenshui said humbly: "If the young master had not listened to the advice and planned, there would have been no current results."
Zhen Yujiang laughed and said, "It's your credit and it's your credit, so you don't have to be polite. Yes, are you sure he must be Meng Zimo?"
"There is no mistake." Lang Shenshui said: "Although he is wearing a night-slide clothes, his figure is Meng Zimo, and he dare not speak from beginning to end. He must be worried that we will hear his true identity." He smiled deceitfully: "But this is also a waste of time. We already know who he is, and he still deceives himself. He will naturally know clearly after taking the head level later."
Zhen Yujiang said: "But this person is cunning. Yesterday, he turned against Han Yunong in public in the court of Duwei's Mansion and cut off relations with Duwei's Mansion. Even if he was caught or killed, it would be difficult to find a handle for Han Yunong."
At this moment, the battle on the upper floor was very fierce. When two screams were heard, Zhen Yujiang couldn't help but frown.
"Young Master, don't worry, he is still fighting a trapped beast, and wants to fight to the death." Lang Shenshui saw Zhen Yujiang's concern and smiled: "After all, he is Han Yunong's capable general, and his skills are pretty good, but we have a lot of people and we will be able to kill him soon."
Zhen Yujiang looked up at the upstairs and nodded slightly.
A sudden fierce fight broke out in the building and screamed repeatedly, which naturally alarmed other guests. Some people opened the door in their clothes and took a look, and immediately shrank back. Others also knew that they must not watch the fun at this time. If you are not careful, you will even lose your life.
The timid closed the door tightly, and did not dare to stick out his head. He bravely left a crack in the door, hiding behind the door to see what was going on.
"Young Master, don't worry. Although Meng Zimo has cut off relations with the Duwei Mansion and seems to be unable to hold the Duwei Mansion accountable, Meng Zimo is just making a smart move this time." Lang Shenshui sneered: "Young Master, he left the Duwei Mansion yesterday and came to assassinate tonight, and we caught it on the spot. This assassination is equivalent to a rebel. Needless to say, Meng Zimo's crime of rebellion is understood, but everyone in the world understands that the purpose of Meng Zimo's departure from the Duwei Mansion is just to protect the Duwei Mansion. To be clearer, it is to protect Han Yunong."
Zhen Yujiang nodded and said, "That's natural. When this assassination incident spread, even a three-year-old child knew about Mencius's purpose."
"Mencius Mo protects the Duwei Mansion, but it just makes people feel that this matter must be related to Han Yunong." Lang Shenshui said slowly: "Maybe we cannot directly assassinate Han Yunong with Meng Zi Mo Xing. However, if a traitor came out of the Duwei Mansion, the old marquis could directly submit a memorial to the court, saying that the Duwei Mansion might have more rebels lurking, and it must be rectified again. As the Duwei Mansion, Han Yunong could not detect the rebellion under his command. This crime was enough to get him out of Xiling."
"No," Zhen Yujiang stretched his eyebrows: "Even if he did not participate in the assassination, he was still guilty of misunderstanding."
Lang Shenshui lowered his voice and said, "Once the court insists on protecting Han Yunong, we can put forward conditions to the court. If we do not reorganize the Duwei Mansion, we will no longer provide financial resources to the Xiling Duwei Mansion, unless the Tushicheng Duwei Mansion is completely clean and there are no thieves hiding it."
"If Han Yunong doesn't leave, we will naturally not agree." Zhen Yujiang sneered: "The court has more energy than Xiling, and the court has to focus on Murong in the southern border. Hehe, when Murong in the southern border raised an army to rebellion, the court finally spent so much money and could not pacify the southern border. Instead, it proposed to recruit Murong and also granted the title of King Jingnan. In recent years, the Murong clan's strength has increased and the court regarded it as a major concern. If the Murong clan does not get rid of it for a day, the court will not dare to cause trouble in Xiling for a day. Sacrifice of the small Han Yunong to stabilize the situation in Xiling, which is no pity for the court."
"Bang!"
As soon as Zhen Yujiang finished speaking, he flew down from the second floor and fell heavily in the lobby. Although he was not dead, he was already bleeding and unable to struggle.
Zhen Yujiang was shocked. At this time, he had already seen that Meng Zimo was holding a big knife in his hand and rushed from the room to the corridor. He had only had a dagger in his hand before, but the big knife in his hand was naturally snatched by him.
The corridor is narrow, and although there are many people in Zhenhou’s mansion, it is crowded.
However, Meng Zimo's body was covered with blood and there were already many bloody wounds. It can be seen that he was injured very much, but he was like a fierce tiger, fighting to the death.
"Young Master, let's retreat." Lang Shenshui was also a little shocked when he saw Meng Zimo so fierce. He saw that Meng Zimo was rushing to the stairs while chopping and slashing. He saw that he was about to rush down from the building. Zhen Yujiang was standing at the entrance of the stairs on the first floor at this time. If he was really rushed down by that fierce man, he would inevitably hurt Zhen Yujiang.
Zhen Yujiang could not have imagined that so many people were killed by Meng Zimo. He felt palpitations and hurriedly retreated, pointing at Meng Zimo who had already rushed to the stairs and shouting: "Catch him, grab him, and get him alive and reward him with a thousand taels of silver, and take someone else's head, and also reward one thousand taels of silver."
If you are seriously injured, you will have a brave man.
Zhen Yujiang's shouting made the swordsmen in the green cheer up and the sound of killing sounded louder. After all, a thousand taels of silver were enough to make many people no longer care about their lives.
"Click!"
The railing was cut off by a big knife. Meng Zimo, who was leaning against the railing, immediately fell back. Fortunately, he reacted very quickly. When he was injured, he still turned around quickly, spread his arms, and jumped down from the second floor. A swordsman in blue made a move very quickly. The moment Meng Zimo jumped down, the sword light flashed, and a deep knife edge had been cut on Meng Zimo's leg.
