Zhang Baihu suddenly realized: "General, I understand. What do you mean, let us recharge our batteries first, and wait until the time is right to launch a counterattack in the best condition?"
Shao Yan nodded: "That's right."
"But right now, Liang and Chu are not giving us a chance to breathe. How can we recuperate?" Zhang Baihu turned from joy to worry.
Shao Yan frowned slightly and said resolutely: "Since they arrived uninvited, we should do what landlords do and entertain them well."
Zhang Baihu was stunned and said angrily to himself, "This group of thieves killed my people, raped my wife and daughter, robbed my money, and they expect us to entertain them well? What kind of truth is this?"
Shao Yan saw his worries and immediately explained: "You don't need to be nervous. Everyone who comes is a guest, especially uninvited guests like this. Let's greet them with the northwest wind. If they massacre the city, let's let them all die."
Not found”
Zhang Baihu chuckled, and Shao Yan handed the wine jar in his hand to him and said with a smile: "Tonight is a good day for Cheng Yong to get married. Why don't I see you haven't drank a glass of wine? Come on, take a sip."
"
Zhang Baihu quickly declined and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me. Cheng Yong is Mo General's good brother. Today is his happy day. Of course Mo General is happy for him, but Mo General has always been too drunk, so..."
Seeing a bit of shame on his expression, Shao Yan knew that he was not lying. He remembered that Deng Bingtang had said before that Zhang Baihu was a good fighter, but he was really unsatisfactory in terms of drinking.
"Well, if you didn't drink it, it's because you didn't have a good taste. To be honest, I haven't smelled this fragrance for a long time. Just now the young couple came to pay tribute to me, and I just took a small sip, which was a bit unfinished.
, I want to drink to my heart's content tonight, haha..." After saying that, Shao Yan raised the wine jar with great ambition. Just as he was raising his neck and preparing to pour half of the jar of wine into his mouth, he heard a "swish" sound.
Suddenly an arrow shot from nowhere and hit the wine jar.
'Bang bang', the wine jar burst open, and all the wine was spilled on the ground in an instant. The strong aroma of wine spread in the air, and it smelled soothing. If it weren't for the wine jar blocking it, the arrow would have been shot directly at Shaoyan.
heart part
It was so dangerous that Shao Yan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Zhang Baihu was shocked. In order to avoid unexpected hidden weapons, he immediately opened his arms to block Shao Yan's body. The four masters drew out their scimitars and patrolled vigilantly.
all around
After a moment, I saw the three brothers of the Lu family hurriedly coming from the direction of the camp. Among them, the eldest Lu Jin still held the bow string in his hand. It was obvious that he had shot the arrow just now. Zhang Baihu thought that he intended to kill the king, so he hurriedly killed him.
Four masters protect the emperor's safety
Shao Yan is not the case. The three brothers of the Lu family are all hunters. The eldest brother, Lu Jin, is the most superb in his archery skills. He is known as being able to pierce the Yang with a hundred steps. If he had the intention of rebellion, he could kill himself with one arrow. But the reason why he
Shoot that wine jar, something must have happened
Just as Shao Yan expected, Lu Jin had no time to pay him the courtesy of a king and a minister, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened. We have been plotted against by thieves."
"What?" Shao Yan was confused and asked: "Tell me more carefully, what kind of thief, what kind of conspiracy? What is going on?"
The three brothers fell to their knees on the ground, unable to hold back their tears, and said in unison: "Your Majesty, our 20,000 brothers are all dead."
"Ah..." Zhang Baihu was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He stood there dumbfounded, as if he had stopped breathing for an instant.
Shao Yan was shocked. This news was undoubtedly a terrible news for him. All 20,000 soldiers were wiped out? This, this is too unbelievable. No, they must have lied about the military situation. He tried to control his emotions while questioning
He warned: "Tonight is Marshal Cheng's happy day. The three of you should not disturb the morale of the army here. Anyone who confuses the public with your evil words should be dealt with according to military law."
Lu Jin was so anxious that he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I don't have time to explain to you. In short, Zhang Yunniang is a spy sent by Jin Dingguo. She took other spies who were mixed in our army and poisoned the wine in advance.
The soldiers drank to their heart's content tonight. Except for those brothers at the checkpoint, all the other brothers were poisoned and died. The jar of wine you just had, Your Majesty, was prepared for you by Zhang Yunniang herself."
Shao Yan's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly remembered that before Zhang Yunniang and Cheng Yong went to church, Zhang Yunniang had given this wine jar to him in front of Cheng Yong and all the soldiers, saying that it was to repay Emperor Donglin for saving his life. Unexpectedly, it was
A pot of poisonous wine. Fortunately, Lu Jin discovered it in time, otherwise his life would have been in vain.
My day, it turns out that she was arranged by Jin Dingguo. No wonder she suddenly appeared after missing for a few days? Shao Yan suddenly turned around and asked Lu Jin: "How is Marshal Cheng doing now?"
"Marshal Cheng, he - he -" Lu Jin was crying, unable to continue speaking. The second and third children lowered their heads dejectedly.
"Answer me honestly, has Marshal Cheng been killed?" Shao Yan guessed the second half of the sentence through those dejected faces.
"Yes" the three brothers said in unison
"Push", Shao Yan tilted his body and spit out a large mouthful of thick blood. His eye circles were slightly red, and hot tears flowed down the bridge of his nose uncontrollably. After a long time, he stamped his foot angrily,
He said harshly: "Damn it, arrest Zhang Yunniang immediately."
"collapse--"
Before Lu Jin and Zhang Baihu could execute the order, they heard a loud noise coming from the military camp. It was like countless tons of explosives being ignited at the same time, or like a sudden earthquake. In an instant, the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, sparks were flying, and gunpowder smoke.
diffuse
Seeing that the camp was bombed, Shao Yan's heart felt as sharp as a knife. He clenched his fists with both hands. Although he didn't know the situation inside, he could never abandon his soldiers, so he couldn't help but pull out his fists.
With the sword on his waist, he angrily ran toward the camp.
"Your Majesty——, Your Majesty——" Zhang Baihu, Lu Jin and others saw this and hurriedly chased after them.
Shao Yan did not go back directly to the camp. Instead, he went to the top of the highest nearby mountain and leaned over to look at the camp. He saw that the camp had been bombed into ruins. The old tents no longer existed. The ground was full of messes. The soldiers
Most of them were blown to pieces, and some only had half an arm or half a lower limb left. It is difficult to see a complete body.
Only one corner of the damaged Donglin flag was burned. Thick smoke slowly rose from the vast open ground. The air was filled with the smell of burnt cloth and hair.
Seeing the miserable scenes, Shao Yan's heart was broken. He was just thinking about how to build a huge empire. Unexpectedly, after a while, his hope drifted away with the smoke.
Suddenly, a group of people suddenly appeared in the sight. The leader was Jin Dingguo, who was wearing a suit of iron armor. He was holding a big sword in one hand and holding the bride Zhang Yuniang's shoulder with the other. The two of them sometimes raised eyebrows and sometimes spoke boldly.
He made some intimate gestures as if celebrating the victory of the war. Behind him were two surrendered generals from the Donglin Kingdom, Zheng Qingyi and Li Guangyou.
"Jin Ye, you are so evil. You insist on pretending to be Zhang Yunniang and getting married to someone else. If you come a step later, I will have to marry someone else." Zhang Yunniang pouted and used her breasts to hit Jin Dingguo as she spoke.
arm
Jin Dingguo looked around, then took the opportunity to grab her breasts, and said proudly: "Baby, how can I let you have a bridal chamber with someone else? You know, if you don't pretend to be Zhang Yunniang, how can you get the title of Emperor?"
What about their trust? Anyway, they have never seen the real Zhang Yunniang. In order to annex Donglin Kingdom as soon as possible, you should act as a bitter trick for me. After the success, I will give you whatever you want."
The fake Yun Niang snorted dissatisfiedly and said: "This is what you said. Don't be like last time and ignore your words."
"How could it be? I always tell the truth."
"Okay, then -" Fake Yun Niang rolled her eyes a few times, and suddenly said with a smile: "When the matter is completed, you ask the emperor to make me a first-class wife."
"This -" Jin Dingguo was stunned. As the name suggests, Madam Yipin, as the name suggests, looks like an official but not an official, but her level is the same as that of the Prime Minister, ranking first in the Yipin. Since ancient times, this title has been reserved for the family members of officials who have made great contributions. If not, even if they are
It’s hard for the prime minister’s wife to get this title
Seeing that he didn't express his position, the fake Yun Niang pushed his arm away angrily and hummed: "I knew you would break your promise. If I had known this, I should have really married that Cheng Yongde."
"No, why would I break my promise? Am I that kind of person?" Jin Dingguo is also a veteran in love, and he still has the ability to coax women. He then hugged her in his arms and said affectionately: "Let's
The 20,000 soldiers and horses of Donglin Kingdom were taken away this time, all because of your ingenious plan. Based on this, it will not be a problem for the emperor to make you a first-class wife, but-"
"Just what?"
"It's just that the whereabouts of the best emperor are currently unknown. Mr. Wang asked us to capture the best emperor alive. Even if he dies, we must see his body. If we can do this well, maybe I will be the prince in the future, and you can
It’s natural to become a princess.”
"Really?" Fake Yun Niang was immediately filled with joy, "That's great, then let's go find the best emperor without further delay."
"Yes," Jin Dingguo nodded, and then divided his soldiers into several teams. He, Zheng Qingyi, and Li Guangyou each led a team, and launched a dragnet search on all the hills in the back mountain range. The fake Yun Niang deliberately moved her body as she walked.
They landed on Jin Dingguo, and the two were flirting and flirting as they walked. Most of the conversation was about the details of how they designed Shao Yan to be fooled and how they poisoned 20,000 soldiers.
Shao Yan was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He regretted that he had been too hasty and believed the fake Yun Niang's one-sided words as truth. He didn't even have any precautions. He only knew that she was Zhang Fugui's sister and could be regarded as a family member of the martyr.
You should enjoy preferential treatment, but in the end, it will lead to the wolf entering the house.
At the same time, Zhang Baihu and Lu Jin quietly came up from behind. Zhang Baihu tiptoed to Shao Yan and whispered: "Your Majesty, we can't stay here any longer. Get out quickly."
"
Shao Yan nodded: "I know, but I want to do one more thing before leaving."
"If your Majesty has anything to do, just ask me, I will do it for you." Seeing Shao Yan's eyes full of hatred, Zhang Baihu quickly added: "If you want to take a risk, I'm sorry that I can't agree."
Shao Yan shook his head and said: "I'm sorry for Cheng Yong, I'm sorry for the soldiers, I mistakenly trusted this bitch, so I asked me to end her life." He took the bow and arrow from Lu Jin's hand, and without any explanation, he immediately took out one
With a red-feathered wooden arrow, tighten the bowstring and aim at the fake Yun Niang who is arrogantly arrogant.
Although Shao Yan was not good at archery, this arrow was surprisingly accurate. A hundred meters away, a scream was heard from the camp. When Jin Dingguo and others reacted, they discovered that the fake Yun Niang had been inserted between her eyebrows.
A long arrow was shot, and blood overflowed from the wound. It split into two streams from the bridge of her nose and flowed onto her face. Her body shook a little and then she fell down and died suddenly.
"There is an assassin, over there." Jin Dingguo shouted, heading in the direction of the arrow, and rushed towards the top of the mountain with his men. Zhang Baihu, Lu Jin and others couldn't help but sweat, and hurriedly escorted Shao Yan.
They ran down the mountain. Since they took a shortcut and Zhang Baihu was very familiar with the terrain in this area, they soon left Jin Dingguo's group far behind.
