Bringing the Sword into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 117 - Shocking the Grass to Startle the Snake
"Okay, I agree to what you said." Wan Jun looked into the young man's firm eyes and replied.
When Gu Xiao saw that Wan Jun had agreed to his request, he immediately said: "In that case, please mobilize your troops. I will capture the bandit leader alive." After saying this, Gu Xiao almost collapsed when he heard Wan Jun's answer.
A somersault.
Wan Jun stroked his beard and said with a smile: "There are no soldiers, only your men and my accompanying guards."
Gu Xiao didn't expect that Master Wan still didn't care about such a big thing, so he said anxiously: "Master Wan, this is no joke, this is about your life."
"If we mobilize our troops, I'm afraid the person behind Master Liu Village you mentioned will be completely hidden in the darkness." Wan Jun chuckled.
He stroked his long beard, looked at Gu Xiao and continued to speak: "If you want to fish, you have to prepare the bait first, right? Brother Mu, tell me about your plan. You can use our men to capture the bandit leader.
"
Gu Xiao didn't expect that Wan Jun would put his life in his hands so casually, but this was the second time he met him.
Sword eyebrows frowned slightly, Gu Xiao asked the doubts in his heart: "Why does Mr. Wan trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I am also sent by those assassins to lure the general into the situation?"
"I always trust those I employ and do not trust those I doubt. Now that I have chosen to trust you, I will entrust my life to you. Don't ask your mother-in-law. Brother Mu, tell me what you can do." Wan Jun waved his hand and stopped.
After leaving behind Yan Bin who was about to speak but hesitated.
Seeing the bold gesture of the northern commander, Gu Xiao felt that if he tried to shirk it, it would be a bit coy. He immediately frowned and fell into deep thought. He only had Mo Zhe under brother Tianya and these guards in Wan Jun's hands.
Gu Xiao fell into deep thought on how to annihilate all Chi Qianren's group, and how to capture Master Liu and the old man named Fei alive, not to mention there were more than a hundred bandits from Hutou Village.
Wan Jun looked at the brooding young man in front of him with great interest, as if the interception and killing had nothing to do with him. However, Yan Bin on the side had a serious look on his face. He approached Wan Jun and whispered in a low voice: "Sir, this matter is not trivial.
, it is better to report to the Holy Spirit and investigate this matter thoroughly."
Wan Jun shook his head slightly and did not respond to Yan Bin. Seeing the general like this, Yan Bin could not continue to speak. He was just thinking about how to persuade Wan Jun not to take risks himself, but he heard the young man speak.
"Yes." Gu Xiaoxing's eyes sparkled with light.
"However, we need to give in to General Wan." Gu Xiao stared at Wan Jun's long beard, with a 'monkey spirit' smirk on his face.
Wan Jun couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He was very familiar with this evil smile. When the man was marching, he would smile like this every time he had some tricks. Did he shoot himself in the foot? Wan Jun
I thought to myself.
Lin'er asked curiously: "What method have you thought of."
Pretending to be profound, Gu Xiao winked in Wan Jun's direction, then smiled with Lin'er and said, "Looking from a distance, General Wan looks somewhat similar to someone around us."
Lin'er didn't know what kind of medicine Gu Xiao was selling in the gourd, but she still followed Gu Xiao's gaze and looked at Wan Jun.
Wan Jun was looked at so closely by the young man and the girl that he felt a little at a loss.
Suddenly, I heard the freckled girl stroking her hands and smiling: "Xue Hu... If you don't tell me, I haven't noticed yet. Looking at it from a distance, Lord Wan and Xue Hu have some similarities in appearance."
After thinking about it, Lin'er said again: "That's not right. When we entered Lingzhou, the people from Chi Qianren's group had already seen Xue Hu..."
"It was precisely because they had seen it before that they realized that. Brother Xue has a lot of martial arts skills and is not afraid of hidden arrows. It is most suitable to pretend to be Lord Wan." Gu Xiao told him his method, then lowered his voice and continued.
"We only need to do this...this...can..."
After hearing this, Lin'er couldn't help but clapped her hands and praised her, and even the battle-hardened Wan Jun nodded slightly. However, Gu Xiao continued to speak: "It is necessary to break the grass to scare the snake, and now we still need one person to be the one to break the grass.
"
"Who is it?" Not only Lin'er, but also Wan Jun and Yan Bin couldn't help but ask.
"Zhang Siwei, who was just dismissed by your Excellency." Gu Xiao spoke confidently.
——
Zhang Chongzhi originally thought that he would get rid of all the charges, relying on his brother-in-law, and Wan Jun would show off some face no matter what, but he did not expect that Wan Jun would give up his post as a bodyguard so casually.
Although Cao Si had accepted all the charges, looking at the look in Si Cheng's eyes when he had just dismissed him from his position as chief of defense, Zhang Siwei feared that the matter was not that simple. Zhang Siwei walked around in his room angrily and said, "When I get back,
Now that you are here, let my brother-in-law read your book carefully in front of the Holy Master."
Just as he was secretly angry, he heard two secretly talking to each other outside the prison: "Hey, have you heard? This time, Zhang Siwei has offended the wrong person."
"What's wrong? There's really a big deal tonight. Did you hear that a big shot has come to our capital?"
"I heard that, that's what I'm talking about. Isn't Zhang Siwei on weekdays close to the Haw Par Escort? I heard that this big shot sent people to secretly investigate the Haw Par Escort, saying that he was suspected of collaborating with bandits."
"Collaborating with bandits?"
"Yes, it is said that the Tiger and Leopard Escort Agency is secretly collaborating with the mountain bandits in Lingzhou Green Forest. Not to mention the usual robbery activities, I heard that the bandit leader also wants to take action against this big shot."
"Don't talk nonsense. Have you checked this matter clearly?"
"Of course, I was on duty tonight. I happened to pass by the back hall of the Yamen on patrol and heard what the big shot told his subordinates. Not only that, the man also said that he would use Zhang Siwei's life as a warning to others tomorrow."
"Strange, then why did I hear that I just dismissed Zhang Siwei's official position? There are forces in the capital behind him. How can I just kill him?"
"Secretly collaborating with bandits and conspiring to assassinate... I heard that your Excellency has sent people to investigate clearly. Who can tell me who can save his life?"
"Then why do we have to kill Zhang Siwei tomorrow?"
"I heard that the gentleman didn't want to delay his trip tomorrow. I heard the implication of his words was that he didn't take those rabble in his eyes. He said that he wanted to take the mountain road in the southwest instead, and let people pretend to be walking on the main road, and by the way, he wanted to take the mountain road in the southwest.
The mob was wiped out."
"Hush, how can small people like us know about such a big thing? Is there anyone else who knows about this?"
"No, only you and I know."
"Listen to my brother, you can just keep this in your stomach and pretend you don't know."
"Don't worry, I don't dare to say nonsense. It's just a pity that Zhang Siwei treats our brothers well. You think, we Siwei can be regarded as official servants after all. We kill at will. It's really...sigh."
"Stop talking, stop talking, go change the guard quickly..."
Zhang Siwei heard this so clearly that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. Just now he was still cursing secretly that he would wait until he returned to Beijing before trying to take revenge on him. Now it sounds like he is afraid that he will die tomorrow if he doesn't survive.
It’s Lingzhou.
Sitting back at the table helplessly, Zhang Siwei was so frightened that his face turned pale, his hands and feet were cold, and he murmured to himself: "It's over, it's over. No, I just accepted some bribes, and the crime will not lead to death, no,
We cannot sit still and wait for death.”
Zhang Siwei was so frightened that he could not think normally. Only the idea of running as far away as possible appeared in his mind. He hurriedly rummaged in the room and found all the banknotes he had accumulated in daily life.
, and randomly pulled a few pieces of clothing and tied them into a baggage.
Just after packing his baggage, Zhang Siwei suddenly thought about where he could go. Just now the two men had secretly discussed that he was involved in the major case of the assassination of Wan Jun by the Haw Leopard Escort Bureau and Lingzhou Green Forest.
"It's an important assassination case, yes. Since he wants me to die, I can't let him live. If according to what those two people said, if Wan Jun dies, no one will know about it. If I don't do anything, I will
We have to find a way to inform the assassins." Zhang Siwei forced himself to calm down, thinking about how to save his life.
He also thought that when he forced Hu Hu to leave Lingzhou, he had given him a pass document. Zhang Siwei slapped his head. Yes, he took advantage of tonight to go to Hu Hu and reveal Wan Jun's news to him. He
Isn't it the group of people from Tonglulin? As long as they can get it tomorrow, I will naturally have peace of mind.
As for him absconding in fear of crime, he will just save his life and return to the capital, use some money, and live incognito for a few years. When the time comes, he will change his identity, and no one will be able to find out.
Thinking of this, Zhang Siwei did not hesitate, packed his baggage, opened the door, and saw that no one was watching him in the room. He secretly rejoiced in his heart: "How can it be so easy to kill me?"
Relying on his familiarity with the patrols of the Duhu Department, Zhang Siwei avoided the guards all the way and came to the main gate of the Duhu Department. Seeing that there were many guards on duty, he had to bend down and search carefully at the base of the wall until he found a fugitive who had been chasing him.
I learned about a dog hole from the prisoner in the Department of Defense when he was leaving the capital.
Gritting his teeth, Zhang Siwei ducked into the dog hole, climbed out of the courtyard wall of the Imperial Guard in humiliation, stared at the courtyard full of hatred, and then disappeared into the night.
Zhang Siwei was about to leave. Several figures appeared on the courtyard wall. Gu Xiao and Lin'er looked at each other in disbelief. Yan Bin on the side was even more disbelieving and waved to the people who had already prepared to leave.
Holding back his smile, Yan Bin said to Gu Xiao, "I didn't expect that the heavily guarded Protectorate Division would have such a secret passage."
Gu Xiao scratched his head and replied: "Originally, I thought he couldn't escape, so we had to pretend to have a conflict with the guards in front of the door to give him a chance to escape, but it saves us some effort."
Lin'er shook his head and said with a smile: "You are still bullying the people during the day, but at night you escape through dog holes."
"Mu Shaoxia, our next step..." Seeing that Zhang Siwei had escaped from the Protectorate Department just as Gu Xiao expected, Yan Bin asked Gu Xiao about his next plan.
"Let's wait at the Lingzhou City Gate. We can't let them be stopped when they leave the city." Gu Xiao looked at Zhang Siwei's back and said calmly.
Several people turned over and landed back to the back hall. Wan Jun was already waiting for them. Seeing how many people came back, Wan Jun asked Gu Xiao, "Has he gone to Haw Leopard Escort Agency?"
Gu Xiao nodded and said: "Yes, we have to hurry up. Now we are divided into two groups. I will inform Brother Tianya."
Then he turned to Yan Bin and said, "Master Yan, please go to the city gate and let Zhang Siwei and the head of the Tiger and Leopard Escorts get out of the city smoothly."
Yan Bin received Wan Jun's order to temporarily follow Gu Xiao's instructions. After listening to Gu Xiao's instructions, he nodded immediately and walked quickly towards the city gate.
Then Gu Xiao bowed to Wan Jun and said: "It's all a show. To scare the snake, you need to weed the grass. The pretended search is only on Mr. Wan. You only need to disturb him. There is no need to tell the governor the reason."
Wan Jun has become the commander-in-chief of the Northern Territory, commanding a hundred thousand troops in Yanbei City. He has not listened to other people's orders for a long time. Seeing this young man's order and order, he suddenly felt a little dazed, as if he had returned to the army of the great prince many years ago.
, quickly withdrew his thoughts, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This matter will be taken care of by me."
Gu Xiao caught a glimpse of Wan Jun's long beard again and whispered to Lin'er: "I'm leaving and I should be back in the middle of the night. After Master Wan has alerted the snake, you..."
Wan Jun didn't know what Gu Xiao was selling in his gourd. He only heard the first half of the sentence, but the second half of the sentence became quieter and quieter. He saw that the freckled girl glanced at him after listening to his words, covered her mouth and chuckled. She couldn't help but feel worried.
, Is it too hasty to trust him so much just because his appearance is similar to that person? This chapter has been completed!
