Damn it, I finally couldn't hold it any longer. Shao Yan sneered secretly and pretended to be surprised: "Brother Zhang, what kind of song are you singing with my little brother? Although this is your copycat place, but
I won’t tolerate your lawless rampage. Do you know that it’s very rude of you to do this?”
Lian'er turned around and asked: "Brother Zhang Tong, what are you doing? Brother Shao is a guest of our cottage. Aren't you afraid of being blamed by your adoptive father for doing this?"
Zhang Tong raised his hands and said: "Second Miss, I apologize for being rude. If I don't do this today, you, the eldest miss, the helmsman, and all the brothers in the village will be destroyed in the hands of this Shao.
Don't look at this guy who looks like a scholar on the surface, but he is actually full of bad intentions. He pretends to be treating his wife's illness, but in fact he is lobbying the old helmsman to submit to the Donglin court. I think he is basically a spy sent by the Donglin Kingdom."
Are you full of bad ideas? Oh my god, I should be the one to say this to you. Shao Yan smiled and shook his head and said, "May I ask where brother Zhang Tong is from?"
"Why do you ask?" Zhang Tong glanced at him angrily and said casually: "Luo Jing"
"Luojing is the capital of Donglin, so Brother Zhang Tong should also be from Donglin. The reason why I persuaded the helmsman to join the imperial court was probably because your army faced the same enemy as us, but Brother Zhang Tong said
I am a spy sent by the Donglin Kingdom, can I think so? Could it be that Brother Zhang Tong has become a traitor from another country? If not, why would you turn your gun on your own people?"
"You——" In terms of eloquence, how can Zhang Tong be Shao Yan's opponent? He was asked in just a few words and his face turned red. However, this kid is born to be a stubborn donkey. He can't tell the truth, but there are a lot of fallacies. He continued: "The surname is Shao.
, I won’t talk nonsense with you. Now that the matter has come to an end, I won’t hide it from you. The helmsman has now left all the affairs of the village to me. You are the guest invited by the old helmsman, so I will naturally not make it difficult for you.
As for you, I will never allow you to stay here and disturb the morale of the army, so you have to take your people and leave here immediately." After saying that, he made a gesture, and the soldiers quickly pressed towards the three of them with knives.
This was what Shao Yan was waiting for. He knew very well that Zhang Tong did evil things, but he did not take human life lightly. But it would be hard to say as time went by. Although the feeling of being driven out was a bit uncomfortable, it was still a hundred times better than sitting back and waiting to die.
, so he immediately walked out of the room with Lian'er and Zheng Yuegui without saying a word.
In this way, Zhang Tong's men easily controlled the entire village, and he himself naturally took the top spot. However, the old helmsman and the Eighteenth Hall Master still refused to submit to him. These people were all from the mountain.
As the leader, no one is qualified to sit in this position without their collective vote. In a rage, Zhang Tong ordered them all to be imprisoned, and then selected eighteen people from among his subordinates to be the leaders of the hall.
A ridiculous farce
In order to make everyone obey him, Zhang Tong used various means to coerce the leaders of the rebel army, including his archrival Lao Yang. Lao Yang had already discussed with Miaoshan and others in advance. He first pretended to return the military talisman to Zhang Shun, and deliberately gave it to Zhang Shun.
He showed his goodwill in every possible way, and when night came, he led his more than 5,000 subordinates with lightning speed and quietly left the stronghold in the dead of night. Miaoshan, Bai Ruxue, and Liu Meng were responsible for the reception outside.
The next day, Zhang Tong was woken up early in the morning. The visitor truthfully reported to him what happened last night. Zhang Tong was furious and threatened to launch an army to attack. At this moment, a servant came to report that it was Liang Liang.
The special envoy of the army had arrived. When Zhang Tong heard this, half of his anger disappeared. He immediately got dressed and came to the living room. The so-called special envoy was a middle-aged man with a full beard.
After the two sides exchanged polite greetings, the special envoy said: "Zhang Tongzhi, oh, no, I should call you Zhang Duozhu now."
Zhang Tong was delighted when he heard this. The special envoy continued: "Master Zhang, although you are now the leader of the rebel army, the eight sub-rudders in the south don't know about this yet. What Jin Ye means is that I hope you can
Write a book to them as soon as possible and ask them to surrender to our army. Anyone who refuses to obey will be dealt with according to military law."
Zhang Tong said with a smile: "Of course, since our army accepts your army's adaptation, we should obey your army's orders."
"It's the best." The special envoy stroked his beard and said: "Jin Ye also said that your department should pay special attention to the Donglin troops in the southwest. I heard that Donglin Kingdom has recently recovered dozens of islands and surrounding small and large bird islands.
, its power is growing day by day. When necessary, your department can order people to sneak into its border area secretly, so that in the future, we can cooperate with our Daliang army inside and outside to capture the best emperor Shao Yan alive."
"Definitely, one..." Zhang Tong nodded respectfully. He suddenly thought of something, stood up from his chair suddenly, and said in surprise: "Please, Mr. Special Envoy, please repeat it again, what is the name of the best emperor?"
Seeing how nervous he was, the special envoy "Shao Yan" couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong? Could it be that Captain Zhang has seen this person before?"
Zhang Tong thought, everything is really unpredictable. I never expected that this boy named Shao is actually the Emperor of Donglin. No wonder he is leaning towards the Donglin Kingdom in every word. If I had known this, I should not have let him go.
Te was stroking the beard around his mouth with his hands, and a malicious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said to himself, "Your mother, do you regret it? I am sitting in front of you now, but it's a pity that you won't recognize it."
It is not difficult to imagine that the so-called special envoy in front of him was disguised by Shao Yan. The real special envoy had been robbed by Miao Shan on the way. After Shao Yan took out the intention from the other party's mouth, he simply played a trick and acted it out himself.
As a result, Zhang Tong was naturally led by him.
Shao Yan is not an actor, but he has a talent for acting. Seeing that Zhang Tong has not spoken for a long time, he said suspiciously: "If Zhang Tong has really met Shao Yan, there is no need to be so nervous. Don't be afraid to speak bluntly to this special envoy.
This special envoy promises not to report it to Lord Jin."
Hearing what he said, Zhang Tong's complicated mood eased a lot, so he honestly told him the fact that Shao Yan had stayed here, and finally sighed and said: "If I knew that he was the best emperor, how could I let him go?"
If he leaves, he will be tied up to see Master Jin a long time ago."
Shao Yan hid his smile and said: "That's it, that's it. This special envoy believes that Captain Zhang is a man who understands righteousness. It is indeed a pity that he failed to catch Shao Yan this time, but it doesn't matter. There is a long way to go.
Things are always unpredictable, and you might be able to see him in a while."
"How can it be so easy?" Zhang Tong smiled bitterly: "To be honest with you, Special Envoy, I am really trying to make amends now, and it's too late to regret it."
Shao Yan waved his hand and said: "It's not too late, not at all. The road to Badaling is far away, and there are mostly mountain roads along the way. I don't think Shao Yan can go far at all. To tell you the truth, when this special envoy came, he encountered
I have been to a team of your army, and among them there was a man who looked exactly like the Supreme Emperor. I was not sure at the time, but now it seems that that person must be Shao Yan. Fortunately, I have sent someone to follow them. I'm sorry.
They cannot escape from my grasp."
Zhang Tong was immediately overjoyed, "That's very good. The people the special envoy mentioned must be Lao Yang's men. I was just about to find him to settle the account. I really couldn't find anything after wearing iron shoes. It took no effort at all. Special Envoy."
, I will send troops immediately." He said and left.
Shao Yan took his arm and said with a smile: "Master Zhang, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. In fact, I have one more thing to do as the special envoy is here."
"Sir, please speak"
"When this special envoy went up the mountain, I heard someone said that you arrested the old helmsman and the eighteenth hall master. Is this the case with Mr. Zhang?"
"That's right, it's not my fault. It's all their fault that they rely on their old age and refuse to obey me. My reputation as a little bully is not just blown away," Zhang Tong said disdainfully.
"Can Mr. Zhang Duo hand them over to me?" Seeing the surprise on his face, Shao Yan added: "Oh, that's right. Before this special envoy left, Mr. Jin mentioned this matter. He expected Zhang Duo to
Lord, when you take over this place this time, there will definitely be many difficulties, especially for these elders and big shots. He has made it clear that if Captain Zhang has difficulties, he can let me help you. If these people who oppose you are captured,
Just take them all to the capital."
"This, this is not good. Although they are annoying, they are still veterans of the cottage. If they are escorted to the capital, they will inevitably die. Once this matter comes out, how will the other leaders of the branch view me, Zhang Tong?
"
Even if you still have some conscience, Shao Yan snorted coldly and said: "You are now a member of the imperial court. If they oppose you, they are openly opposing the imperial court. On the other hand, if you refuse to hand them over to Lord Jin,
It shows that you have two minds, how can you make us trust you?"
Zhang Tong listened to what he said and felt that it made sense. He thought to himself that these old guys never gave me face anyway, so why should I be so taboo. Now that I was on the verge of riding a tiger, I simply sent Buddha to the west, and said without thinking:
"Okay, I'll just do it."
After a while, the old helmsman and the Eighteenth Hall Master were tied up and brought here. Shao Yan deliberately scolded them in an official tone in front of Zhang Tong, and then ordered his entourage to take them out. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Tong
Tong immediately asked people to count the troops, and then rushed to the mountains with the "special envoy"
During the march, Shao Yan sat on his horse and kept looking around with his eyes. He couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart, because the soldiers and horses brought by Lao Yang were ambushing all around here. It won't be long before all the rebels were killed.
The army will be separated into several sections and then defeated one by one. For these rebels, those who are willing to surrender will be spared death, and those who resist tenaciously will die.
Zhang Tong was very excited. He secretly swore that he would never let the best emperor and Lao Yang slip away again this time. Just as he was waving his whip and preparing to speed up the march, he suddenly heard "Alas" coming from behind him.
' He screamed and looked back, only to see Shao Yan covering his stomach with both hands and his whole upper body lying on the horse. He kept mumbling: "What's going on? Did he eat something bad? His stomach hurts.
ah?"
After hearing this, Zhang Tong quickly reined in the reins and asked puzzledly: "The special envoy was fine just now, why is it suddenly like this?"
Shao Yan covered his belly and said with a grimace: "I don't know, but before entering the mountain, I felt a little thirsty on the way, so I asked a passing sister-in-law for a bowl of water. Could it be..." At this point, he
He quickly shook his head and said: "No, my sister-in-law has no enmity with me and she will definitely not murder me. I must have accidentally eaten something."
Zhang Tong said angrily: "Your Majesty, Special Envoy, you know what people know but not what they know. Maybe you were deceived by that sister-in-law. Come on, please go back to the village and ask the doctor to come over."
"No, I just have a stomachache. I believe it will be fine in a while. We still need to hurry up and don't delay the business," Shao Yan said.
Zhang Tong had some doubts just now, worried that he was deliberately pretending to be ill, but now that he was so insistent, it was obviously not like he was pretending, so he handed over his hands and said: "In that case, brother, I will go first, special envoy, we will see you later."
Before leaving, four soldiers were left behind to protect Shao Yan.
After Zhang Tong led the large army to leave, Shao Yan slowly straightened up. The four soldiers were surprised. One of them wondered: "Sir, your stomach doesn't hurt anymore?"
"What do you think?" Shao Yan chuckled and took off his beard. The four soldiers recognized him at a glance and immediately slashed at him with their swords. Shao Yan grasped the reins with both hands and his whole body moved quickly.
When he rowed to the other side of the war horse, the four minions jumped into the air and stabbed him with their swords. Shao Yan unhurriedly took out his kick and hit one of the minions in the face.
When the man fell to the ground, Shao Yan stretched out his hands again and grabbed one of the soldiers onto the horse. Seeing this, the other two picked up their big swords and slashed at them. Unexpectedly, they all fell on their companions.
When the two saw that they had hacked their companion to death with their own hands, they were stunned. Shao Yan struck out with both fists at the same time. The two minions had no time to dodge and fell to the ground one after another...
