Gai Huayang could ruthlessly abandon Fu Yucheng's life and break away from Wan Qiuqing's constraints, but Wan Qiuqing did not dare to completely ignore the existence of the Emperor's Order Arrow. Otherwise, Gai Huayang would not have been so arrogant in front of her.
The sword kills.
You cannot touch the person holding the emperor's arrow. This is a line that Wan Qiuqing dare not cross. If this red line is touched, even the master may not be able to solve the problem.
Huang Quan is as big as the sky, and anyone who touches it will die.
The arrival of the city defenders made Wan Qiuqing's heart sink to the bottom.
Feeling that there was only one way left, they rushed into the city lord's palace to rescue Qi Wuwei, then fought their way out and found a place to hide until Master Zhang Butcher came back to save them.
Otherwise, as long as they fall into the hands of Gai Huayang, this guy will definitely have a hundred ways to convict them of beheading and then kill them.
Thinking about it, Wan Qiuqing was about to take off the blindfold, but his arm was held down by an invisible force. Although this force was gone at the touch of a touch, Wan Qiuqing still clearly felt that it came from the city defenders.
In the direction of the direction, my heart couldn't help but move, and I retracted my hand.
Qiu Zhan got off his horse and walked quickly to the front. He knelt down on one knee and said to Gai Huayang, "Seeing the emperor ordering arrows is like seeing my emperor. Qiu Zhan, the guard of Yancheng, pays homage to my emperor. Long live my emperor!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!" All the soldiers knelt down and saluted.
Then he stood up and bowed his hands to Gai Huayang in salute, saying, "The last general Qiu Zhan has seen the Inspector, but he was a little late and surprised the Lord."
"Haha, it's not too late, it's not too late, the general came just in time." Gai Huayang smiled and cupped his hands at Qiu Zhan.
If Fu Yucheng heard what he said, he would probably be so angry that he would come alive and strangle him to death.
"General, quickly arrest these thieves who have no law, despise the imperial power, commit crimes in the streets, and kill soldiers," Gai Huayang said.
"Here!" Xiao Chong responded and immediately led his men forward to surround Wan Qiuqing and others.
Hearing the name "Xiao Chong", Gai Huayang's eyelids twitched twice, and his eyes immediately turned away from Xiao Chong.
Fu Yucheng had already told him the whole story of yesterday. When he heard that Fu Yucheng was so bold and led 50,000 cavalry to charge into Yancheng, he was finally killed by the Yancheng defenders. The 50,000 cavalry was almost the entire army.
Fu Yucheng even asked him to help him avenge the death of the defender commander Xiao Chong, and he almost cried because of Fu Yucheng's stupidity.
Yancheng is an important part of the empire. No one is allowed to lead troops close to it without permission, otherwise it will be directly regarded as rebellion. The Yancheng defender has the right to issue any attack order, so Fu Yucheng is basically seeking his own death.
He did not dare to accompany Fu Yucheng to do it. He scolded Fu Yucheng on the spot not to mention the matter again, otherwise the matter would become a big deal and they would be the ones left with the consequences.
Surrounded by Xiao Chong, Wan Qiuqing said nothing and watched the changes.
Zhang Xiaozu and others did not know the situation and were secretly anxious.
He then heard Qiu Zhan continue to say, "Yesterday around 5:30 pm, a group of rebels raided Yancheng. Fortunately, the defenders responded quickly and did not let the rebels succeed. It is a pity that the black-armored cavalry went out of the city to pursue and suppress the thieves.
Righteous to the Dharma on the spot.
Finally, I heard that the spies had come to report that the leader of the thief had probably disguised himself and infiltrated the patrol envoy's ceremonial guard, so he hurriedly brought people to protect your safety. I am afraid that the thief is extremely vicious and will be detrimental to you."
Gai Huayang gently stroked his beard, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and gave Qiu Zhan a meaningful look. He felt that the veteran general knew how to behave, so he accused Wan Qiuqing and his gang of thieves when they met. He couldn't help but feel that Fu Yucheng led the troops yesterday
The act of rushing into Yancheng was stupid enough, and he deserved his death.
"General, look, are the escaped thieves the same group?" Gai Huayang said with a long face and a serious look.
After saying that, he couldn't help but prick up his ears, and seemed to have heard Qiu Zhan shout, "Yes, it's them."
Then Wan Qiuqing and his group were not allowed to defend themselves, and they directly ordered people to take them down.
Then either hand the person over to him, or be more ruthless and chop off the head on the spot, so that there is no evidence of death.
Things were resolved perfectly.
The two of them went into the house hand in hand, had a drink, and waited until 3:30 noon to cut off Qi Wuwei's head, and the matter ended just like that.
Gai Huayang imagined it very well, because this was their usual method in official circles.
Telling lies with open eyes, framing people, killing people without blood.
Therefore, when he heard what Qiu Zhan said, the smile that could not be concealed at the corner of his mouth suddenly stiffened, and his perked ears raised a little higher, wondering if he had heard wrongly.
"Sir, you are kidding me. These are all good people from my southern border. How could they be rebels?" Qiu Zhan said, and introduced them one by one to Gai Huayang.
"This is the wife of the Lord of the City. When Yancheng was besieged by the Daya Army and the rebels, my wife was not inferior to her men. She led two thousand light cavalry to break out of the Daya Army's defense line and ran thousands of miles north, promptly conveying the emergency situation to the guard Baiyun.
The old prince of the city."
"The Yancheng defense battle was a complete victory, and Mrs. Qi's contribution was indispensable."
"This is Sanqingguan Tianwu Zhenren. During the war, Yancheng encountered the danger of ancient corpse poison. Tianwu Zhenren and several other powerful stars volunteered to go to the ancient corpse lair to exterminate the ancient corpses and protect the lives of the people in the southern border."
"These juniors are either unparalleled in wit or unparalleled in bravery. They all made great achievements in the defense of Yancheng. They are the rising talents of our southern border."
"How could they be rebels? What a joke, sir."
After hearing Qiu Zhan's solemn words that he had a good time, Wan Qiuqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt grateful to Qiu Zhan. Being able to help Qiu Zhan without fear of the emperor's arrows at this time was so heavy that it was unbearable.
Zhang Xiaozhu and others also breathed a sigh of relief, and the anxiety in their hearts suddenly disappeared.
Gai Huayang's expression was stiff and his eyes were terrifyingly gloomy. He felt that he was being played by Qiu Zhan.
"Then what did the general mean by what he said before?" Gai Huayang asked Qiu Zhan sideways and asked coldly.
"Back to your lord, the leader of the thief who attacked Yancheng yesterday disguised himself and infiltrated into your honor guard. I will lead his people to arrest the thief leader and protect your safety." Qiu Zhan replied.
Before Gai Huayang could speak, he gave the order: "All the officers and soldiers obey the order and quickly surround the city lord's palace. No suspicious person is allowed to be let go. Xiao Chong, lead people into the palace to search and help the inspector to arrest the leader of the thief."
"How outrageous!" Gai Huayang shouted angrily, "How could a bandit leader be included in my honor guard? General Qiu's intelligence must be wrong. The general accepted the order quickly and did not violate the majesty of the emperor."
Gai Huayang held up the emperor's arrow.
His arms were starting to tingle because he had been lifting them for so long.
He had to wonder if he was holding a fake Emperor's Order Arrow in his hand, otherwise why wouldn't it work so well?
brush brush brush
However, the city defenders did not listen to Gai Huayang's words, separated from the left and right, and began to surround the city lord's palace.
Xiao Chong called a group of troops and rushed towards the city lord's mansion.
Canglanglang!
Gai Huayang handed the Emperor's Order Arrow to his left hand and drew out the sword from his waist with his right hand. He opened his eyes angrily and shouted, "Who dares to take a step forward? Don't blame me for being ruthless with the sword. Qiu Zhan, you are so brave. In front of the Emperor's Order Arrow."
, are you going to lead a rebellion?"
Qiu Zhan raised his hand to signal Xiao Chong to stop.
Like Wan Qiuqing, he was also deeply afraid of the emperor's arrows.
Although Xiao Chong and others could force their way through, they could not attack Gai Huayang. However, Gai Huayang could attack the soldiers arbitrarily with the emperor's arrows. Qiu Zhan did not want the soldiers to lose their lives in vain.
"Old general, I have something to say, could you please take a few steps closer?" Wan Qiuqing said.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Zhan immediately stepped forward.
Wan Qiuqing lowered his voice and said in a voice that only Qiu Zhan could hear, "Old General, find a way to delay this for two days. Someone will come to solve this dilemma. I beg the General to find a way to protect the safety of my husband."
Hearing this, Qiu Zhan nodded, turned around and walked back to Gai Huayang, saying, "The emperor is so majestic that even the generals with 10,000 courage would not dare to attack, but if we let the rebel leader go uncaptured, we are also betraying the emperor's grace. It's better to do this."
The general will send troops to guard here for two days. During these two days, your Excellency will conduct a strict self-inspection in the mansion. If after two days, you confirm that the leader of the thief is indeed not hidden in the mansion, the general will lead his troops to evacuate immediately."
"It's ridiculous. If the inspector says there's nothing, why search?" Gai Huayang said coldly. Although he didn't hear what Wan Qiuqing said to Qiu Zhan, he guessed it as soon as Qiu Zhan opened his mouth.
He must have been asked to delay, so he couldn't agree to Qiu Zhan's request.
Qiu Zhan's tiger body trembled, and the commander's majesty suddenly burst out. He glared at Gai Huayang and shouted, "Why don't you respond, sir? Could it be that he colluded with the leader of the thieves privately and deliberately concealed his comrades? The general also heard that your Excellency summoned him overnight as soon as he arrived in Yancheng.
There are a lot of officials in Yancheng, but there is no news about these officials after they left. May I ask, sir, where are these officials now?"
Gai Huayang was forced by Qiu Zhan's momentum, his expression was horrified, and he took three big steps back with thumping steps. Suddenly he felt that he was not facing Qiu Zhan alone, but an entire army with thousands of horses and horses, but he still held on.
With a red face and a pinched neck, he yelled angrily, "General, don't slander anyone. I am loyal to the empire, so how could I collude with the leader of the thieves? All the officials are drinking tea in the house, so there is no need for the general to worry."
"It is very likely that there is a thief leader hiding in the mansion, and a group of officials from Yancheng have been invited to the mansion by your Excellency. How dare I not worry about it?" Qiu Zhan refused to give in, and there was a hidden meaning behind his words.
"The emperor's arrow is here, who dares to make a mistake?" Gai Huayang shouted angrily.
"I will not accept military orders abroad!" Qiu Zhan shouted.
Gai Huayang looked fierce, put the arrow of the emperor's arrow to his throat, and shouted: "Whoever dares to make this inspection envoy will kill himself here immediately. My grievances will be spread to the Jinluan Palace, and let my emperor see his loyalty."
How the sincere minister was forced to death by the rebellious ministers and thieves."
Holding the emperor's arrow in his hand, but helpless, he finally had to bear the injustice and hatred, and committed suicide with the emperor's arrow.
If this kind of thing really happened and it was reported to the Jinluan Palace in the imperial capital, without even thinking about it, Long Yan would be furious and the government and the public would be furious.
Qiu Zhan suddenly felt like he was being restrained by Gai Huayang.
"You can die if you want, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Suddenly a figure descended from the sky, stood next to Gai Huayang, looked at Gai Huayang with a half-smile and said, "If you want to die, hurry up, otherwise when I take away your command arrow, you won't be able to kill yourself with it."
"You, you" Gai Huayang was startled, especially when he heard that the visitor was trying to snatch the emperor's arrow. He was even more frightened and panicked. He took three big steps back, glared at the visitor and yelled, "Who are you?!"
The twelve guards on Gai Huayang's left and right sides hurriedly stepped forward with swords in hand, protecting Gai Huayang behind him... (https:)
