Chapter 453 The whip catcher is a true hero (please vote for me!)
Originally, Commander Black didn't want to get involved in the struggle between the two gangsters, but Lin Zhuangyuan did not force him to join.
But unknowingly, the situation has developed to this point. At the level of commanding Hei, it is difficult to understand why two people who have never met have become mortal enemies from a distance.
However, Commander Hei still deeply understands what it means to be in a world where you can't help yourself.
The survival wisdom of the little man tells Commander Black that he can no longer hesitate!
If you hesitate any longer, not only will you continue to be suspected by the governor, but you will also lose Lin Zhuangyuan's friendship. In the end, you will not be human!
"Young Master Zhuangyuan, just tell me what to do!" Hei Xiao said decisively.
Lin Tailai came back from his thoughts and said, "Maybe I should go to the patrol camp with you and pretend to be your bodyguard?"
Commander Hei said subconsciously: "The governor's intentions are unclear. Isn't Duke Zhuang Yuan in danger?"
Lin Tailai replied: "As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
In the governor's office, even if Xu Souqian recognized me, he would not dare to do anything to me, otherwise the responsibility would be his.
And if Xu’s collection of money is not good for you, my presence will also be a kind of protection for you.”
Commander Hei immediately burst into tears of gratitude, Mr. Zhuangyuan is such a good person.
Lin Tailai turned around and said: "But it's still unclear what Xu's intention is in collecting the money, so we have to make two preparations.
If Xu Shuqian really had bad intentions that he shouldn't have, then he would have to adapt to circumstances and arrange for two to three hundred elites to secretly enter the city in the name of changing defenses with guest troops just to prevent this situation.
If Xu Shuqian really just wants to transfer you to Baoma City in Zhangjiakou, then we will "
"Just put the matter to rest?" Commander Hei still retained a trace of hope for peace. Maybe the governor didn't have any bad intentions yet and just wanted to transfer him away first.
"No!" Lin Tailai glanced at Commander Hei and said thoughtfully: "I heard that it's cold in the spring, so I'll give you some extra clothes."
Commander Black: "???"
I have no education, so I really can’t understand what Zhuangyuan Gong means!
In the governor's camp, Governor Xu heard the report and knew that Commander Black had followed the order and came to see him.
At this time, Governor Xu and Sanniangzi were sitting in the hall. He turned to Sanniangzi and said:
"Don't you respect the strong on your grassland? Today I will show you, Madam, who is the strong one in Xuanfu City."
Governor Xuanda has just taken office not long ago. He is not yet familiar with the situation and has not fully established his prestige. This is the time when the governor has the greatest say.
In order to get thirty thousand taels of silver, or to have both people and money, Governor Xu also worked hard and decided to show his strength in front of Sanniangzi and put some pressure on Sanniangzi.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the male's desire to express himself in front of his favorite female cannot be ruled out.
The third lady looked on with a cold eye. She knew very well what Ming Dynasty scholars were thinking.
What scholar wouldn't want to give a try to a woman who has a distinguished status, good looks, and no need to take responsibility?
But she doesn't mind if a man fantasizes about her, because only in this way can she make better use of this man.
Anyway, she has enough strength to make fantasies just fantasies.
The lieutenant general reported a few more words in a low voice, which made Governor Xu a little surprised.
According to common practice, the servants or guards brought by the black commander can only stay at the gate.
But the black commander can bring a follower into the camp to facilitate passing messages or other things.
At this time, the followers around Commander Hei were tall and majestic, carrying two iron whips on their backs, and they did not look like ordinary people.
This aroused the vigilance of the Chinese military officer, so he reported it to Governor Xu.
When Commander Hei came to the hall to see him, Governor Xu did not look at Commander Hei, but looked at Commander Hei and his entourage outside the door.
Although Governor Xu had never met Lin Zhuangyuan, Lin Zhuangyuan's figure was so recognizable, as well as the pair of double whips behind his back.
If you look closely, the follower's face seems to be slightly smeared with pot ash, slightly covering up his original appearance, and he does look like a black-faced giant.
When enemies met, Governor Xu couldn't help but curse a few times in his heart. It was just trying to hide the truth!
As for this so-called disguise, could it be more perfunctory? Who doesn't know that you are Lin Tailai?
As for Lin Tailai's motive for this behavior, Governor Xu could guess pretty well.
The only thing he was betting on was that he could not openly do anything to him, the imperial envoy, in the governor's office, which was also a prudent way to protect himself.
However, due to various considerations, Governor Xu did not reveal the true identity of this black-faced man.
We are planning to launch a mutiny. If everyone knows that Lin Tailai is here, how can we let the outside rebels start a mutiny against the "air"?
Since Lin Tailai pretended to hide his identity, Governor Xu pretended not to know.
Lin Tailai pretended not to know that the governor already knew. This was very political.
However, Governor Xu still dispatched two hundred soldiers to guard the lobby so that he could truly feel at ease.
After all, Lin Tailai is famous for his bravery and the famous "Hundred Enemies". If he were to forcefully attack him and perform the trick of "capture the thief first, capture the king", he would suffer a big loss!
And with a murderer like Lin Tailai present, there is no need to take down the black commander on the spot to avoid causing complications.
After that, the official process began. Governor Xu announced the decision to transfer the black commander to guard Ma City, and then introduced Sanniangzi to the black commander.
"Have a banquet! Serve the wine!" Governor Xu ordered Chang Sui again.
The third lady also noticed the majestic black-faced man playing with an iron whip outside the door, and asked Commander Hei, "Who is this?"
Commander Black replied: "He is a little brother, and he is now training with me."
Sanniangzi chuckled a few times. Do you really think she is so secluded from information?
I have not been idle these past few days. I have already inquired about him and know what the new imperial envoy is like.
"The whip catcher is a real hero, so I can give him a seat!" the third lady pretended to say again.
I don’t know what she is thinking. Maybe she is deeply influenced by Chinese culture and wants to pretend to be a cultural figure.
Perhaps he was selling a good deal to Commissioner Lin, which made Governor Xu a little unhappy.
While Sanniangzi was exchanging greetings with Commander Hei, the lieutenant general walked up to Governor Xu and whispered a few words.
"Nothing unusual was seen, nor was anyone suspected of Lin Tailai coming out of the Black Mansion."
Governor Xu took a few glances at the black-faced man outside the door, and could confirm from the side that this man was Lin Tailai.
Otherwise, with Lin Tailai's defensive attitude, he would definitely not dare to live in the already empty Black Mansion with only a dozen followers, and he would definitely have to change places.
Maybe Lin Tailai didn't expect that he could organize a mutiny today with lightning speed, right?
This is called the speed of soldiers, and the only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed!
"If there is no abnormality, let the outside start to start! Before the banquet is over, this court will have results!" Governor Xu ordered the Chinese officer with a sneer.
What a joke! Lin Tailai thought that hiding here would be completely safe? Do you know what is unwarranted?
Now the rebels only think that you, Lin Qin's envoy, are still in the Black Mansion! It will not affect the siege of the Black Mansion and start a mutiny at all!
As long as the mutiny itself happened, what does it matter whether you, Lin Tailai, were present or not, or whether you were blocked by the rebels?
Originally, what I was enjoying was a process, and I didn’t really expect the rebels to do anything to you, Qin Cheng Lin.
The worst case scenario is that you, Lin Tailai, provoked the mutiny and then irresponsibly fled into the governor's palace!
It's good to be like this now. You can keep an eye on Lin Tailai personally and let the soldiers change to be safe.
Following the governor's order, seven to eight hundred rebel soldiers gathered and rushed to the Black Mansion located to the west of Zhenshuo Tower.
The composition of the rebels was very complex. Some were impoverished and had no other choice but to look forward to spring rewards. Some were recruited by relatives and friends to encourage them to increase their numbers. There were also those from the governor's Biao camp who were responsible for guiding emotions.
Anyway, as soon as the rebels came out, people from various barracks along the way poked their heads out to watch the excitement. If they didn't do their own thing and didn't receive orders, they would just watch for a while.
After all, in the border towns, raising soldiers to raise riots is not an earth-shattering event. Only the mainland would make such a fuss.
Near Hei's Mansion is the barracks directly under Hei's command, but the governor's messengers have already been riding horses back and forth.
He shouted loudly: "The governor's military order states that the enemy and ourselves are not clear. The soldiers in the camp are not allowed to move without permission. It is forbidden to leave the camp! To avoid being mistaken for rioters!"
After losing contact with Commander Black, receiving no orders from their superiors, and hearing military orders from the governor, the officers and soldiers in the camp could only stare at him with big eyes.
The rebel soldiers surrounded the Black Mansion and shouted slogans: "Gou Imperial Envoy will pay! Gou Imperial Envoy will pay! Gou Imperial Envoy will pay!"
After shouting several times to ensure that the nearby streets could hear it, the rebels began to attack the Black Mansion.
Easily, the rebel soldiers rushed into the already empty Black Mansion. After a while, thick smoke billowed out of the Black Mansion again.
Nearby, a number of the governor's cronies have been monitoring the scene and constantly reporting the latest situation to the governor's office.
Listening to one piece of news after another, a long-lost smile appeared on Governor Xu's face.
Thanks to my meticulous planning, everything went smoothly, really smoothly.
Thinking of this, Governor Xu couldn't help but glance at the black-faced man outside the door. What's the difference between Lin Tailai's behavior and Ma Su's self-destruction?
The principle "the most dangerous place is the safest place" cannot be applied casually!
Once you're here, don't even think about leaving. No matter whether you, Lin Qin, reveal your identity or not, you are already trapped in the governor's palace!
Apart from anything else, now that the mutiny against Qin Envoy Lin has occurred, the most important thing next is to fight for the "right to interpret."
As long as he is willing to accept the money, you and Lin Qin will not even think of sending a single word of the memorial in time!
In the golden time in the future, the imperial court will only receive his unilateral memorial from Xu Souqian and his explanation for the mutiny!
It was you, Imperial Commissioner Lin, who stopped the payment of rewards without authorization, which triggered the mutiny!
Moreover, you, Imperial Commissioner Lin, have arbitrarily interfered in foreign-related affairs, causing dissatisfaction among friendly people abroad and undermining the overall situation of the imperial court!
How could Qin En Lin, who had been temporarily "silenced", use his promise to collect money to argue with the court?
In the lobby of the palace, a small-scale banquet was still going on, but Governor Xu's mind was not on the banquet at all, and his mind was filled with thoughts about the future.
If the mutiny outside has ended, then the banquet should also end, right?
At this moment, chaotic shouts suddenly came from the direction of the camp gate.
Everyone who was toasting stopped their hands and looked towards the door in surprise.
The lieutenant general rushed in and shouted to Governor Xu: "Two or three hundred officers and soldiers suddenly appeared outside the camp! They are going to attack the gate!"
Governor Xu was a little confused, where did the rebels come from? There was no such arrangement.
The Chinese officer continued: "They claim to be the imperial envoy's escort! There are rebels in the city targeting the imperial envoy, so they came to Xingyuan to ask for shelter!"
Governor Xu looked at the black-faced giant at the entrance of the lobby in confusion. Did your two or three hundred guards fall from the sky?
Are you, the guards, seriously ill? You didn't resist in the Black Mansion, you allowed the Black Mansion to be burned down by the rebels, and yet you came all the way here?
The Chinese officer asked: "What should I do? Please tell me from the military!"
"No!" Governor Xu said decisively, "Most of them are fake, let them go!"
Only if your brain is flooded will you put these two to three hundred "enemy troops" in the trenches!
The lieutenant general took the order and left, but in the blink of an eye, he turned back and ran back, shouting in panic: "It's a big deal, the gate can't block it!"
Governor Xu found it unbelievable and cursed: "You bastard! How can you not stop it?"
The lieutenant general looked at the two hundred elite pacesetters who were deployed to guard the lobby speechlessly. Governor, why do you think the gate can't stop the enemy's attack?
Apart from those who take turns to rest, those who are sent out to guide the rebels, those who are on duty elsewhere, and the two hundred elites who defend Lin Zhuangyuan here in the lobby, how much defensive force can there be at the gate?
Governor Xu also thought of the problem and ordered sternly: "If you dare to attack the rebel army in Xingyuan, you will be killed without mercy! Don't you dare to take action?"
In the blink of an eye again, the lieutenant general turned back and ran back again, as if he was delirious and said incoherently:
"The Yimen has also been lost! Imperial envoys! They have imperial envoys!"
Governor Xu: "???"
What is "imperial envoy"? Is this a weapon that sounds like "imperial envoy"? Is it because the officer's mouth is malfunctioning or his ears are malfunctioning?
Before Governor Xu could react, Hei Xiao, a fifty-year-old military attache, jumped out of the lobby at a speed that was not commensurate with his age, and then jumped out of the lobby with a few long strides.
There is no need to explain everything anymore, because Governor Xu has seen it with his own eyes.
A tall and majestic man with steel whips in both hands led a large group of officers and soldiers and rushed over from the front!
There were two guardians beside the giant man. One held a rectangular guard and the other held a yellow edict. They shouted loudly: "Imperial Commissioner Lin is here!"
With this lineup put out, who would dare to make a killing blow with the ordinary big-head soldiers?
Governor Xu's pupils shrank sharply. Is this the imperial envoy? Is this Lin Tailai?
Then outside the lobby, who is the black-faced giant man who is the entourage of Commander Hei who is being guarded tightly?
At this time, the black-faced giant man took off his thick fat coat and armor, and his body instantly shrunk several times, revealing a body as thin as a bamboo pole. He was tall and useless, and he was as light as a swallow flying away.
Already.
The third lady in the lobby looked red and white. Just now she pretended to say, "The whip catcher is really a hero." Now she feels like a fool!
Governor Xu stood at the door of the lobby in astonishment and cursed at the black commander who had not yet fled: "What a brave bitch! How dare you play tricks on this hospital and tear you alive!"
Commander Hei turned around helplessly and replied: "The official didn't say that he was Lin Zhuangyuan, it was all your own imagination!"
Governor Xu was going crazy! Just such a fake Lin Tailai restrained 200 of his own soldiers, prevented him from daring to act rashly, and captured the black commander on the spot!
In just a few thoughts, Imperial Envoy Lin and his guards had already rushed to the front of the hall!
Governor Xu was so frightened that he took two steps back from the entrance of the lobby before he dared to shout through the soldiers:
"Lin Tailai! You dare to attack the governor's office. You are committing a crime!"
Lin Tailai, who finally appeared, shouted: "There are rebels in the city trying to attack me, the imperial envoy!
I went to the governor's office to ask for asylum. As a result, you, the governor, not only refused to rescue me, but also told me to get away!
Is this how you treat imperial envoys? A three-year-old can tell who is committing the crime!"
Governor Xu: ""
Damn it! Could it be that you, Lin Tailai, secretly hide two to three hundred elites, just waiting to be "mutinied"?
With just a few words, he immediately took the moral high ground, and Lin Tai's morale was immediately boosted when he came here!
The main reason was that the imperial envoy on one side was taking the lead, while the governor on the other side was retreating. After comparing the two sides, they immediately made a judgment.
Besides, most of the more than 200 officers and soldiers assigned to Lin Qin from the Beijing camp were from the Liaodong squadron. After Li Rusong's orders, they knew that Governor Xu was an enemy, so they had a stronger will to fight.
Therefore, the last line of defense around Governor Xu, the two hundred elite guards guarding the lobby, could not hold back for long before they were smashed to pieces.
After Lin Tailai became famous, the number of times he did it himself became less and less. It has been a long time since he had such fun.
I entered a state of excitement today, as if I had turned on the unparalleled mowing mode, as if a god descended to earth, falling to the ground wherever I went!
The lobby only had a south-facing room and no back door. Governor Xu was blocked in the corner of the lobby with no way to escape.
He felt extremely regretful. If he had known better, he would have bribed the prison eunuch and built dozens of fire cannons to defend him!
In Xuanfu Town, all firearms are kept by the eunuchs who oversee the guns, and can only be taken out and handed over to the army for use in times of war.
Lin Tailai, whose legs and feet were moving, could not hold back his hand for a moment and punched Governor Xu down.
Governor Xu could only sit on the ground and shouted in a sullen tone: "Lin Tailai, as an imperial envoy, you dare to kidnap the governor!"
Lin Tailai said in surprise: "What? Is it strange that the imperial envoy kidnapped the governor?
If I were a military attaché in a border town and took the lead in starting a mutiny to coerce the governor, it wouldn't seem so weird, right?
But the military attache can do it, so why can’t I, the imperial envoy?
Is my status as an imperial envoy inferior to that of a military attache? Can’t the imperial envoy launch a mutiny?"
Governor Xu: ""
It seems very reasonable and cannot be refuted for a while.
Lin Tailai glanced at the beautiful young foreign woman in another corner and said maliciously:
"Furthermore, I have reason to suspect that because I suspended the horse market and re-examined various tribes, Governor Xu colluded with foreign tribes and wanted to kill me under the pretense of rebellion!"
Sanniangzi: ""
The sky is clear! It’s an unforeseen disaster! She just came to Governor Xu to talk to him! It’s all normal business dealings!
She has met Wang Chonggu, Fang Fengshi, Zheng Luo and other two or three generations of famous ministers in border towns, and she has also seen greedy ministers like Xu Souqian, but she has never seen an imperial envoy like this!
