At some point, Hu Duo came over, pointed at the flag guard below the city, and said, "Is that General Xi Daxi, the subordinate of Xi Zhenzheng? He just came to deliver orders, why is his tone so stiff?"
It's indeed a bit stiff.
According to common sense, Daxi should at least call him "Hu Cishi" instead of calling him by his first name.
Listen to the second half of the order: Violators will be punished as traitors: beheaded...
This order could not be any harder, as if it were a forced prisoner. How could Hu Duo not be surprised?
He wondered if it was because Xi Kangsheng had such an attitude towards Hu Shichang that Da Xi would give orders in this tone?
Also, we have already won, so what do you mean by not letting the city gate open?
Is it possible to suspect that there are still thieves in the city?
After waiting for a long time, he did not hear Li Shixian's response. Hu Duo instinctively looked up and found that Li Shixian's eyes were bulging, staring closely at the city, and his whole body seemed to be trembling.
Looking to the side, Guo Yuzhi had already burst into tears, trembling like a flower branch. If he hadn't been holding Li Shixian's arm tightly, he might have collapsed to the ground from crying?
Hu Duo's heart skipped a beat: "What happened?"
But still no response.
Hu Duo suddenly turned his head and stared at Li Shixian's two sons.
Li Chenghong and Li Chengxue were not much better. They stared at the city in a daze as if they had seen a ghost.
Hu Duo shouted urgently: "Chenghong, Chengxue, what happened?"
The two brothers trembled violently, as if they were waking up from a dream.
After exhaling for several times, Li Chenghong raised his arm and pointed tremblingly at the city: "That...that's the second brother..."
"How... how is it possible?" Hu Duo screamed as if he heard a thunderbolt.
"It's the second brother, it's really the second brother..." Li Chengxue wiped away his tears, crying and laughing, "When my father and mother knelt down, the man also knelt down... who else could it be if he wasn't the second brother?" Hu Duo stiffened suddenly.
At that time, he was just looking at Da Xi at the gate and the order in his hand. He didn't care whether anyone was kneeling behind him?
"How is that possible?" Hu Duo screamed and threw himself on the wall, "Li Chengzhi has no official or position. Why should he hold the emperor's orders on his behalf and order tens of thousands of troops?"
Looking up, the cavalry seemed to be returning. Daxi was saying something to a general in golden armor. His attitude was very respectful.
What kind of joke are you telling?
That was Xi Kangsheng's nephew, a fifth-rank general. How could he have such an attitude towards Li Chengzhi?
Not talking about official position and family background, it is also impossible to talk about age?
Hu Duo looked at it carefully: the general seemed to be injured, there were bruises on his face, and his face was not clearly visible.
In fact, even if he could see clearly, Hu Duo had never met Li Chengzhi, so he could only judge from his age.
Unable to see his face, Hu Duo looked elsewhere. When he saw the ridge on the general's head, he was shocked.
Although the armor in the army has a fixed pattern, most of the generals' armors have been modified.
The main reason is that the imperial court's uniforms cut corners. If they want to save their lives at critical moments, most generals will change their uniforms.
Some simply discard them and only wear home-made or family-heirloom armor during war, so there are all kinds of them.
In particular, Douchun has various styles such as tiger head, phoenix wings, wolf face, and Suan Ni to show its power.
But Li Shixian is definitely the only one in the Wei Dynasty who has the wings wider than his shoulders.
When asked why, Li Shixian euphemistically called it "Biao-winged Eagle"!!!
It means that others are just tigers, but grandpa is a tiger with wings...
Others just smiled after hearing this...
But at this time, that winged bird was actually worn on the head of the golden-armored general?
As if his soul were filled with happiness, Hu Duo raised his head suddenly and looked at the broken flag on the right.
The word "李" fluttering in the wind seemed to hit Hu Duo's face like a whip.
Still in disbelief, Hu Duo exclaimed in shock: "Why...is it Li Chengzhi? Why..."
Li Shixian also wanted to ask: Why?
But it looks like... it's true?
When Xi Kangsheng's nephew saw his son under the horse, he also got off the horse. After speaking, he waited for his son to get on the horse again before he got on the horse?
This is obviously to respect him...
Is it possible that I gave birth to a fake son?
Just as he was doubting himself, he suddenly felt a pain in his arm, and Li Shixian almost screamed.
Guo Yuzhi seemed to have used all his strength to hold Li Shixian's arm tightly, and even the arm armor seemed to be squeezed out of shape.
He kept shouting urgently: "Let's go... Chengzhi is leaving... Why doesn't he come to see us... Is he resenting us for leaving him in the fort and ignoring us..."
"Ma'am, please be gentle..."
Just after he whispered, when he heard the second half of Guo Yuzhi's sentence, Li Shixian froze suddenly and his face suddenly changed.
After several breaths, I heard him reply subconsciously: "It shouldn't be possible...? Chengzhi has orders in hand, and he has to control tens of thousands of troops. He clearly has important orders, so how can he come down to the city to see you and me?
?"
As he said this, Li Shixian was also muttering in his heart: No, definitely not... Even if he does temporarily, he will be relieved when his grandfather explains his difficulties to him when he enters the city...
Just as he was about to persuade Mrs. Wei a few more words, he suddenly felt his left arm loosen. Li Shixian instinctively raised his eyes and saw Guo Yuzhi jumping to the top of the city.
Li Shixian was horrified and subconsciously stretched out his hand, but he felt a strong force coming, as if he was slapped by a huge door panel. Not only was his arm knocked back, but his body was almost unsteady. p>
Then I heard a clear sound that made my membranes pierce my ears: "Chengzhi..."
I don't know how far the message spread, but Da Xi felt that his eardrums seemed to be itchy due to the shock. He turned around in disbelief and saw a slender figure standing on the top of the city.
After being shocked for a long time, he turned around and looked at Li Chengzhi with extremely strange eyes: "That's...the royal family, right? The energy in his body is so strong..."
What do you think?
Otherwise, where did my divine power come from?
Li Chengzhi glared at Da Xi: "It's all your fault..."
Forget it, you will have to kneel sooner or later, and this time is not the last time...
Li Chengzhi sighed, had to jump off his horse, knelt down respectfully, folded his hands again, and bowed deeply.
Of course, it’s okay not to kneel down, but at most you will be criticized behind your back: The Li family in his ancestral home passed down his family through "Poems", but Li Chengzhi didn't even learn "Etiquette"?
Da Xi burst out laughing, as if he was saying: This time it is your own choice, I am not the one who made you kneel...
Guo Yuzhi's tears flowed faster, as if he was crazy. He slumped on the top of the city and cried and laughed: "Husband... Chengzhi didn't blame us..."
"Yes, yes... no complaints... no complaints..." Li Shixian was moved and scared at the same time. After slowly approaching, he took Guo Yuzhi down with his hands like lightning.
The wall is six feet high. Even if nearly half of it was filled in by the rebels, it is still more than three feet high. How can you survive if you fall?
Li Chengzhi's kneeling was like a blow to Hu Duo's head.
Except for Xi Kangsheng's personal authorization, where did Li Chengzhi have the power to hold the emperor's orders and command tens of thousands of troops?
Even Xi Kangsheng’s nephew was so respectful to him?
Li Chengzhi has clearly become extremely favored by Xi Kangsheng...
But in this case, how useful can the position of "Captain Xiao Guan" given to Li Chengzhi by his uncle be?
Two thighs, one thick and one thin, even a fool knows which one is most beneficial to hug...
It’s also strange, Uncle Clan, how do you see it, granting Li Chengzhi an official position is also an act of kindness, why do you have to avoid Li Shixian?
Shouldn't we finalize the deal with Li Shixian as early as possible and not give Li Chengzhi a chance to regret it?
Hu Duo felt anxious and pulled Li Shixian, who was not shy and wanted to hold his wife in his arms, and said urgently: "Huaide, I have an urgent matter to discuss with you..."
Li Shixian's heart was in a state of confusion, and he was thinking of finding a quiet place to spend time with his wife. One or two, ten thousand people didn't want to talk to Hu Duo.
He raised his head impatiently and pointed to the left and right: "You can tell people everything you want..."
The people around are either Li Shixian's concubines or Li Shixian's sons. There is really nothing that cannot be said.
Hu Duo pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Uncle Li Chengzhi has been awarded the position of Captain Xiaoguan. If Xi Zhenshou asks after entering the city, Huaide, you can't regret it..."
Li Shixian was shocked: "When did it happen...why didn't I know?"
"Uncle will inform you in the future..." Hu Duo said perfunctorily, and took out a handwritten letter from his arms, "It was shot into the city last night, written by Baozong...Uncle did his best.
, not only awarded Chengzhi a seventh-rank captain, but also a double title..."
It's just fart...
Not only was Li Shixian not happy, he was shocked and angry.
Is Hu Shichang trying to take advantage of God's will and actually blame my son?
And Chengzhi, are you blind or blind in mind, why are you coming to seek help from an official at this time?
What’s the difference between giving away the credit you’ve gained?
Confused?
Cursing in his heart, Li Shixian subconsciously took over the handwritten letter.
But after just one glance, his expression changed.
The letter said: I am afraid of changes, so I am seeking an official position to deal with it...
What "change"?
Who has to deal with it?
Just as he was wondering, a hand stretched out from his side like lightning and snatched the handwritten letter away.
Li Shixian turned around and saw, who else could it be if it wasn’t Madam?
Guo Yuzhi just swept it away, and he breathed a long sigh of relief as if he had survived the disaster.
Li Shixian was dumbfounded: There were clearly tears hanging from the corners of Madam's eyes, but her face was like a spring breeze blowing and flowers blooming?
Madam, what's wrong?
Guo Yuzhi returned the handwriting to Hu Duo with a smile: "I'm afraid you have remembered it wrong, this is not my son's handwriting..."
After another pause, he said: "My son can't write such ugly words..."
Hu Duo's face changed wildly.
Are you obviously going to regret it on the spot?
His eyes narrowed and he stared at Li Shixian closely: "Huaide, even if you betray your trust, you can't be so quick, right?"
It’s really fast!
But for Li Shixian, there is no pressure at all: he can still weigh it up whether he is a son or a friend.
Besides, there is no good person in the Hu family. If it were Hu Duo, he would fall out of favor faster than himself...
He was just a little worried. Has Chengzhi admitted it to Xi Zhenshou?
If I go back on my word again, wouldn't it mean that I have become a different person inside and outside when the confrontation comes?
At the same time, I am also suspicious. My wife has always been dignified and virtuous. In the past, she would advise myself from time to time: Only by keeping one's word can one stand on one's word, and only by being sincere can one maintain one's integrity. She said that in the future, she would be less likely to engage in such things as not recognizing people when they fall out with each other...
But why is it the other way around today?
After sharing the same bed for nearly twenty years, I still don’t know what Li Shixian is hesitating about. Guo Yuzhi’s silver teeth trembled with anger: Li Huaide, they are going to crush your son to ashes, but you are still hesitating here...
She secretly hated Li Shixian for a while, but seeing that Li Shixian still couldn't react, she squinted her phoenix eyes and looked at Li Shixian like a knife: "The one who gave Chengzhi the title of Captain Xiao Guan, or the double title... This is an attempt to murder.
My son..."
The last sentence was so subtle that Li Shixian almost didn't hear it clearly.
What happened to the double seal?
At most, Hu Shichang was greedy for his son's achievements, but why did he want to murder his son...
Just when he was about to think about it, Li Shixian's face changed wildly. He turned around and stared at Hu Duo like a hungry wolf: "Captain Xiaoguan, who belongs to both the governor's office and Gaoping Town..."
Hu Duo responded instinctively: "This is Captain Xiao Guan..."
He couldn't figure out why he was an official from the seventh rank, but in the eyes of this couple, they were like snakes and scorpions.
A stream of evil fire rushed straight to Li Shixian's forehead. He raised his fist and pounced forward, as if he was going to hit Hu Duo in the face.
He finally knew why his wife felt as if she had suffered a disaster after seeing that the letter was not written by Chengzhi himself.
And you can fall out of love sooner than you, a husband like him?
The town army uses troops internally without authorization, which is tantamount to conspiracy!
If your son really wants to marry Hu Shichang, the commander of Xiaoguan, how can he get the credit?
Not only does Li Chengzhi want to be killed, but his family may also be affected...
But before his feet were lifted, his body seemed to be nailed to the ground. Li Shixian turned around and saw that it was Guo Yuzhi who was hugging him tightly.
Guo Yuzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Go home..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Li Shixian was stunned at first, and then his face turned pale: Madam is obviously afraid that Hu Shichang will jump over the wall...
In just an instant, the angry look on Li Shixian's face disappeared completely.
He originally wanted to smile at Hu Duo, but he thought it was too fake, so he grimaced: "Jiexiu, you can think about the rights and wrongs for yourself...Li Mou takes the first step..."
As he spoke, he cupped his hands slightly, supported Guo Yuzhi, and walked down the city regardless.
Afterwards, a large number of concubines and concubines followed...
"Huaide... Huaide..." Hu Duo called twice. Not only did Li Shixian not stop, but he walked even faster. Hu Duo jumped in anger.
At this point, he still hadn't figured out why Li Shixian's face suddenly changed when he heard the word "double seal", as if he had been struck by lightning?
Although there is an extra level of restraint from Gaoping Zhenjun, the power of Captain Xiao Guan is also doubled...
Um...wrong?
Gaoping Zhenjun?
Thinking of these four words, Hu Duo's face turned pale.
No wonder the clan uncle has to turn his back on Li Shixian?
It's over, it's all over...
I shouldn't have, absolutely shouldn't, but I was exposed in advance?
As long as Li Shixian can send a message to Li Chengzhi, the appointment will be ruined immediately... How can the clan uncle get the credit?
And Li Shixian’s mother-in-law is obviously afraid that she and her uncle will jump over the wall and use them as hostages to blackmail Li Chengzhi?
How is this different from rebellion?
This woman really dares to think...
At this point, there was no trace of blood on Hu Duo's face, his eyes were all red, and he was running towards Hu Shichang like crazy...
……
"Captain Li, why is this happening?"
Da Xi asked, pointing to the white-armored soldiers who were tiptoeing as if they didn't even dare to show their anger.
He couldn't figure out why Li Chengzhi left tens of thousands of troops unused and only asked them to defend the four wings, instead relying only on his brigade of white-armored soldiers to hunt them down?
The battlefield is two to three miles in radius, and with just these five hundred soldiers, how long will it take to search?
What's even more strange is that not only did he not let the soldiers speak loudly, but he even asked them to walk softly?
Could it be that Li Chengzhi was afraid of disturbing the substitute's clear dream?
"Just in case!" Li Chengzhi replied with lingering fear, "Recalling the fire formation yesterday, even I shudder..."
He is really not being perfunctory.
God knows how much kerosene the rebels got?
Being able to build one does not necessarily mean that you cannot build a second one. Send fewer people in, and if Liu Huiwang jumps over the wall and burns it again, fewer people will die.
As soon as he heard about yesterday's fire formation, Da Xi couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine.
Never seen before, people have been burned into fireballs, but they can still howl and rush towards the military formation?
"Yes, just in case..." Da Xi nodded repeatedly.
Li Chengzhi ignored him again and raised his eyes to look at the white-armored soldiers searching side by side with cold eyes.
To be honest, Li Chengzhi is really not 100% sure if he is asked to guarantee that the substitute is hidden underground.
First, he judged based on some flaws revealed by the one he had captured, and concluded that the stand-in was 80% still alive.
Secondly, the place is so big, where else can it be hidden except underground?
Just like what he told Da Xi: The rebels can build a Bagua Fire Array with a radius of two miles. How difficult is it to dig a hole in the ground or build a basement?
If it is really hidden underground, it would be very simple: the place is not big or small, but the terrain is slightly higher and will not be flooded at the first sight of rain. There are only a few places, so focus on searching. The second thing is, it’s okay for people not to eat, but they have to breathe, right?
Li Chengzhi didn’t believe that he couldn’t find any traces...
What if there are still no traces?
Li Chengzhi raised his head and looked at the city wall not far away: That means sneaking into the city.
As if he had a telepathic connection or an intuition, he always felt that the substitute was not far away from him...
Seeing that Li Chengzhi was silent, as if he had no intention of talking, Da Xi didn't want to talk much, so he just stayed with him quietly.
Time gradually passed. For almost an hour, five hundred white-armored soldiers lined up in two rows, almost facing each other, and the soldiers were crowded together. They searched the northern half back and forth twice, but found nothing unusual.
Li Chengzhi asked the soldiers around him to give flag orders and asked them to search the southern half.
Continuing from west to east, five hundred soldiers bent over and stared, following each footprint. Even if they encountered an ant, they would poke it with the tip of their spear to see if there was a hole hidden underneath.
It was only about two miles from the edge of the battlefield to the bottom of the city wall, but the soldiers walked for half an hour, which shows how careful they were.
After arriving under the wall, Da Xi couldn't help but sigh when he saw Li Chengzhi's personal guard Zhuangshuai raised a black flag and waved it left and right three times to indicate that nothing was abnormal.
It seems that Li Chengzhi guessed wrong...
He was just thinking about whether to order some Li Chengzhi and ask him to find a random corpse to hand over, but he heard Li Chengzhi laugh wildly: "I'm just telling you, you know it's impossible, why do you have to go to all this trouble?" Before he even finished speaking, Li Chengzhi suddenly clamped down on the horse's belly, and the snow-white Rouran horse neighed and bolted out like an arrow.
What did Li Chengzhi...discover?
But the white-armored soldiers didn’t find anything?
Da Xi's head was full of questions and he called out urgently: "Captain Li?"
Li Chengzhi did not respond, but waved, asking him to follow.
Da Xi spurred his horse on and chased after him.
……
Li Shixian and Guo Yuzhi have returned home, and Hu Shichang and Hu Duo have also disappeared. Although there are many people on the city wall, no one recognizes Li Chengzhi.
Everyone only knew that this general seemed to be of a higher rank than Da Xi. When they saw him rushing to the city, they were about to address him when they heard Li Chengzhi shout coldly: "Stop..."
Li Rui suddenly pulled out the green flag and pointed toward the city.
The guard's words reached the tip of his tongue, but he was suddenly choked back.
That's right, Li Chengzhi just wanted him to shut up...
"Captain Li..." Da Xi led his cavalry to chase after him.
Li Chengzhi waved his hand fiercely, meaning that he would not say anything, and then dismounted.
Da Xi looked puzzled and jumped off his horse, following closely behind Li Chengzhi.
The two of them walked up the slope one after another...the slope that had been filled in to half of the city wall, was more than ten feet wide, and was about thirty-four steps long from top to bottom.
Da Xi had already reacted: Could it be that what Li Chengzhi meant was... that people are hiding under here?
It's really possible: just like plowing the ground, the battlefield has been searched back and forth twice, not to mention people, not even a trace has been found, and 99% of them are not underground.
After all the calculations, this is the only place left...
"Here?" Da Xi lowered his voice and pointed downward.
Li Chengzhi didn't say yes or no, he just raised his head and looked at the city wall intently.
Da Xi took a closer look, Li Chengzhi was actually lost in thought?
No, it should be reminiscing...
After pausing for a few breaths, he saw Li Chengzhi suddenly as if in a dream, his thoughts wandering, and he said quietly: "Yesterday afternoon, when I asked Li Rui to come to the city to ask for official orders with Hu Baozong's handwriting, I still saw that there were still rioters there.
Filling the city with earth...
I also thought at the time that Liu Huiwang had gone crazy because he had not finished filling in the city for two months. Now he was about to lose. No matter how fast he could fill up, how many feet could he fill up? At this time, thinking about it, how could he be filling in the city? It was clear that he was filling in the city.
They are preparing for escape...
If you think about it more carefully, from beginning to end, Liu Huiwang had no need to attack the city. He only had to pretend to attack Jingzhou in a hurry and lure Xi Zheng to guard it. As long as Xi Zhen's defense was defeated, the entire Guanzhong would be in his pocket.
No matter how strong Jingzhou City is, it won't last long, so why waste lives?
Now that I think about it, this slope is not used to attack the city wall at all, but to escape after defeat..."
Li Chengzhi continued to recall: "There is another incident: when Hu Baozong fled to my Lijiapu, on the day of the Seventh Cooking Meeting, hundreds of monks suddenly appeared and went crazy to kill Hu Cishi, but they were finally killed by the state soldiers.
Execute...
I also thought at the time, if I were Liu Huiwang and there were so many insiders in the city, wouldn't it be better if I stayed in the city to find a way to open the city gate, or even stay in the city as a spy to spy on the inside story? Why do I have to do it for
Kill one Hu Shichang and expose everything? Now that I think about it, it’s just a part of it..."
Da Xi was horrified and asked: "There are still internal agents in the city... No... the substitute has already broken through the city wall and sneaked into the city?"
Li Chengzhi took a deep breath: "Besides this possibility, I can't think of any other way to become a substitute... As for whether it is possible, we will know by digging on the spot or entering the city. But..."
He paused for a moment and said with a gloomy face, "If this is really the case, there are tens of thousands of citizens in this city. If you want to find a substitute, you will have to go through a lot of trouble..."
More than just a lot of trouble?
Eighty times out of ten, it will cause chaos, and many people will die...
Da Xi's face darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "A person who walks a hundred steps is half-ninety, and the only difference is this last step. It is worth the trouble to clarify one's mind..."
He raised his head sharply: "Captain Li, are you going to mobilize the army to dig on the spot, or seal the city immediately?"
"If we can avoid causing too many casualties, it is better to try not to cause too many casualties. If we excavate suddenly, we will tell the substitute that we have seen through his conspiracy, and he will definitely jump over the wall..."
Li Chengzhi stared at the city wall and muttered: "But the city can still be sealed, and we must be careful not to leak the news when sending orders to Hu Shichang... But you and I have too big a goal, and we can't enter the city yet..."
He was afraid that there were spies on top of the city, even around Hu Shichang. If he or Da Xi suddenly entered the city, there was a high probability that they would launch an attack in advance.
God knows if it was just like outside the city, Liu Huiwang also dug secret passages and buried kerosene inside the city...
Li Chengzhi suddenly turned his head and shouted loudly: "Ape'er..."
Li Rui responded immediately and ran over quickly.
Li Chengzhi whispered in his ear for a while, and after finishing his explanation, he saw Da Xi reaching into his arms and handing a token to Li Rui.
Then Da Xi approached the city wall again and said that Governor Xi had an urgent order to pass on to Governor Hu and that the messenger needed to be hoisted up the city wall.
The guard did not dare to neglect, so he immediately put down the hanging basket and hoisted Li Rui and several guards up.
Afterwards, we saw the army moving under the city again: they no longer only surrounded the battlefield, but divided into large groups and surrounded the state city.
Not long after, nearly 20,000 troops surrounded the city.
The guard on the city became more frightened as he watched, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Looking at the direction of the army below the city, it looks like they are about to attack the city?
The guard shouted to the soldiers and said in a hurry: "Quickly... report to Mr. Shi quickly..."
……
Governor's Mansion!
Hu Shichang put his hands behind his back and stared at the words in the hall, his eyes suddenly sharp and dull, and his face turned gloomy and clear.
The handwriting is a bit immature, and there is no character, but Xi Kangsheng has been in service for more than forty years, and he will be taken wherever he is an official.
He will never forget the scene when he wrote these words in his own hand on the day he started his career and became an official...
I have a good heart, and even though I died nine times, I still have no regrets!
Once upon a time, I was full of passion and ambition, vowing to help the world and save all people.
But before he knew it, he had drifted away from the world, and when he woke up, he realized that he had become the kind of person he once hated the most?
The world is evil and people's hearts are not ancient...
Hu Duo stood at the foot of the hall, as if a ladle of water had been poured on him, and the cold sweat on his head kept falling down.
After a short effort, there was a puddle between the feet.
He couldn't understand how, after reaching such a stage, his clan uncle still had the heart to appreciate calligraphy?
After enduring it for a long time, Hu Duo finally spoke: "Uncle Clan..."
As soon as the sound came out, even he was startled: it was hoarse and hoarse, as if he was cutting the bottom of a pot with an iron saw.
Hu Shichang waved his hand and sighed sadly: "The noble families and powerful people in Guanzhong have always regarded me, the Hu family, as a minion of Gao Zhao, and they would like to eviscerate the bones... Among them, there is the guard Xi Kangsheng... At this point, I am afraid that I have already
There is no room for maneuver..."
"No, there is still a chance..."
Hu Duo hissed, "I'm going to beg Li Huaide, I'm going to beg Li Chengzhi, I can kneel down for them..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Hu Shichang in a deep voice: "It's useless... there are many secrets that you don't know..."
He sighed again, pondered for a long time and then said, "Li Huaide was banned from Jingzhou, which was actually not Gao Sikong's intention... and Li Huaide also knew it clearly..."
Hu Duo suddenly raised his head and looked at Hu Shichang blankly.
Isn’t this telling myself that this is all your work, Uncle Clan?
In this way, wouldn’t the last road be cut off?
Not only will Li Shixian not help his uncle to cover up, he will 90% take this opportunity to add insult to injury...
After being stunned for a long time, he asked in a hissing voice: "Why?"
"Why else?" Hu Shichang laughed and said, "Stability can only be the stability of the Hu family..."
As if he was frozen, Hu Duo froze suddenly.
He understood everything: the clan uncle was not only targeting the Li family in his ancestral home, but also the Longxi Li family behind it...
Is it wrong for Uncle Clan to do this?
No!
If it were you, you would definitely do it this way.
But who could have expected that, just like a dying person, most of the body of the Li family in their ancestral home has been buried in the ground, and one day, they will suddenly turn over?
"It's useless to think too much!" Hu Shichang sighed sadly, "Let's make a decision early..."
Hu Duo felt a pain in his heart.
Uncle Clan clearly wants to take all the blame...
But the land, the money that Zhaoxuan Temple donates every year, and the Dingkou, have they all fallen into the pocket of the clan uncle?
Thinking of his father's indifference to him, seeing only Dafang's style, and his uncle's trust and help to him, Hu Duo immediately shed tears...
But what else can be done?
He knelt down with a "pop" sound.
But before his head hit the ground, he suddenly heard an urgent call from outside the hall: "Master Shi... Mr. Shi, it's not good, the army has surrounded the city..."
Hu Shichang frowned: Besieging the city?
When the army surrounded the battlefield, he felt a little strange: such a large battle was obviously to hunt down the main criminal. It seemed that Xi Kangsheng only won the battle, but did not catch Liu Huiwang.
Looking again at this time, it seems that there is no search outside the city, but it is suspected that Liu Huiwang has sneaked into the city?
How is that possible?
If Liu Huiwang could sneak into the city without knowing it, wouldn't it mean that he could easily break through the city wall?
Hu Shichang laughed and said: "Let him surround... If the army wants to enter the city, just open the door..."
"No!" the confidant responded. Just as he was about to walk out, he heard an urgent call from outside the hall.
This time two people came in, one was Hu Shichang's personal guard general, and the other was short and wearing white armor.
Hu Duo's pupils shrank sharply, he pointed at Li Rui and exclaimed: "You are Li...Li...how did you get in from outside the city?"
Li Rui responded respectfully: "Jun Huifu, you were dragged in by the defenders..."
With that said, he took out Da Xi's order letter and handed it to Hu Shichang: "General Da Xi asked me to inform Mr. Shi..."
Speaking of the second half of the sentence, Li Rui almost touched Hu Shichang's ear.
Although the two cronies were far away, Hu Duo was close at hand and could hear clearly: "The thieves chief has sneaked into the city... General Xi asked Mr. Shi to seal the city immediately. All idlers should close their doors and not go out without orders."
..."
"How is that possible?" Hu Shichang exclaimed, "How did Liu Huiwang get in?"
In fact, Li Rui had already guessed that there was a nine-tenth chance that there was a tunnel under the slope. But Li Chengzhi didn't explain it, so how could he dare to talk?
"Young people don't know... Is this how the general explained it?"
How is it possible...how is it possible?
Liu Huiwang is actually in the city?
Hu Shichang's breathing became rapid.
He turned his head sharply and turned to look at Hu Duo. He saw Hu Duo trembling all over, as if a drowning man had grasped a straw.
I thought about it with myself...
Hu Shichang took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Then the messenger went to report to General Xi and told him that I would seal the city immediately..."
Li Rui responded respectfully and was taken out of the house by the general.
Only two uncles and nephews, Hu Shichang and Hu Duo, were left in the hall.
Hu Duo was so excited that he couldn't even speak: "Uncle... God... God will never stop you..."
If Liu Huiwang is caught, it will not be less than the contribution to relieving Jingzhou...
"It is indeed a God-given opportunity..." Hu Shichang's eyes gleamed, "But this is the last chance left, so we must be cautious..."
Halfway through, Hu Shichang's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Jiexiu, go to the top of the city and keep a close eye on the movements of the officers and soldiers. If there is any abnormal movement, send someone to report it immediately... remember it, and don't relax at all..."
What's the use of keeping an eye on the officers and soldiers outside the city?
Shouldn't the whole city be searched immediately to capture Liu Huiwang before Da Xi and Li Chengzhi enter the city?
Hu Duo looked suspicious and was about to ask when he heard Hu Shichang angrily scolded: "Why don't you go quickly?"
Hu Duo had no choice but to bow and leave quickly.
Hu Shichang stared at his back and waited until Hu Duo left the courtyard and disappeared before letting out a heavy breath.
It was too late to search the city, so we could only see if we could keep an eye on Da Xi and Li Chengzhi, and find a way to find Liu Huiwang first...or even grab them directly...
This is a serious matter, one of which is the grave crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. How can the clan uncle implicate you?
While thinking, Hu Shichang shouted again: "Hu Yi!"
Like a ghost, a figure appeared silently from behind the screen wall. He didn't say a word, but just bowed towards Hu Shichang.
"Disperse all your people and keep a close eye on Da Xi and Li Chengzhi... Once you find Liu Huiwang, take action immediately... Remember, no matter the cost..."
"Well..." As if he had no tongue, Hu Yi just responded with his throat.
After everyone had left, Hu Shichang slowly let out a breath: Whether he lives or dies, it depends on today...
