In the reeds on the eastern outskirts of Jiankang City, a group of strong men with swords and soldiers who seemed to be full of evil spirit shuttled through it, and the leader of them was the doorman of the King of Nanton, the head of the Han Penghui. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"General, we took a lot of risks to capture those servants and kidnap them out of the city, why did we take them away so easily?"

There was a scar in front of him, and the strong man who looked a little hideous said curiously. In his early years, when Peng Hui was fighting in the Northland, he was given the rank of miscellaneous general from Qianhu, so his subordinates called him so.

Hearing this question, everyone also looked at Peng Hui in front of them. These people have come together, and they have been raiding the Northland for a living in the past, and they are all cruel and aggressive people by nature. Although he is now invested in the Nanton Palace, he has food and clothing, and his life can be described as worry-free, but for this group of murderers who are used to licking blood from the knife edge, such a life is too dull and tasteless.

Therefore, after receiving this errand, everyone was sharpening their knives and preparing to kill, but before the action, they were strictly ordered not to harm people's lives. After succeeding, he ran dozens of miles in one night, hid in the wilderness on the outskirts of the city for several days, and endured mosquito bites. At the last moment, however, the order was given to leave the captives in the wilderness, and they retreated.

"The king's order, how can you question it!"

Peng Hui was also not very cheerful, quite depressed, and when he heard this question, he even lowered his face and scolded angrily. But after all, it was the old subordinates who had followed him for many years, born and died, and seeing that everyone was confused and did not dare to speak, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Now that we are under the king's door, we are no longer the great river of the past, but we can't do things without scruples like before." ”

"Killing that guy is just a trivial matter, but after all, he is the old surname of the Northland Wang clan, and a little punishment will not harm people's lives. But if he is really killed, the Duzhong County Government and the like will be forced to discuss things or have to investigate strictly to the end, and it will be a trouble for the king at that time. Besides, the reputation of such a noble family is much more important than life. They dare to go against the king's wishes, and this lesson is enough to discredit them, which is much more serious than killing them! ”

When everyone heard Peng Hui's explanation, although they were still puzzled in their hearts, their dissatisfaction was finally alleviated. Then someone laughed and said: "It's ridiculous to say, that guy has a good reputation in the capital recently, and what kind of martial arts strategy and talent of knowing the army is not enough." After several times of rushing and killing, he obediently abandoned the soldiers and surrendered, and he had no martial arts and blood. is so unbearable, but it also deserves to be praised! ”

Someone next to him smiled and said: "It's rare to have a good background in others, Wang Guang, your surname is not bad, but your eldest father is not from Langya." If not, we will now call you a lord and an envoy, so why should I bow down to others and listen to the dispatch. ”

Wang Guang, who was laughed at and ridiculed, couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "I am also a descendant of the king's family, but the encounter is the difference between heaven and earth, and I blame only my grandfather and father, who can't earn me a good background!" ”

After Peng Hui heard this, he turned around and slapped that Wang Guang: "How can you insult your ancestors!" Why do you have to pity yourself, princes and princes are all human beings. We have all the martial arts, but all we have is just a background! Now we are all under the king's door and conspiring for great things. The king of the other day holds the authority, and those of us who follow the dragon are also the choice of the leopard tail marquis! Now the position of Liyang Sun's internal history may not be unexpected. For several generations, it was also a famous family at that time! ”

Listening to Peng Hui's description of this wonderful prospect, everyone was also overjoyed, and they were already gearing up along the way, eager to help King Nanton achieve great things. In the past, they sacrificed their lives to fight, but only for a little wealth, but now there is a huge future of a leopard's tail marquis, and it makes people's blood tremble when they think about it!

Hearing the cheerful talk of his subordinates, Peng Hui was also quite excited in his heart, and felt that taking refuge in King Nanton was the most proud move in his life. If there were no such opportunities, how could he dare to have such a beautiful dream with his reckless and despicable people!

The group of people quickly passed through this reedy swing and entered a garden villa on the eastern outskirts of Jiankang City along the path between the barren mountains. After entering the door, Peng Hui said to everyone in a deep voice: "I will stay here for the next few days, and I will not return to the city until this storm in the capital has passed." If you can't bear to go out lonely and wander and leak your whereabouts and ruin the king's affairs, don't blame me for ignoring the friendship of the past! ”

When everyone heard this, they responded awe-inspiringly: "Follow the general's order!" ”

However, they didn't know that the deeds of their group had already fallen into the eyes of the onlookers on the high slope opposite the villa. Seeing the crowd marching into the manor, the watchman crept down the high slope, detoured in the other direction, turned on his horse, and galloped away to the capital.

――――――

At the same time, in the other corner of the reed swing. Duch, with his hands and feet tied, lay on the meadow, his body was red and swollen from mosquito bites.

The tribesmen who were also bound untied each other, and then hurriedly stepped forward to help Du He up, and one of them was not without a lack of indignation: "Why did Rokuro wait for me to abandon my weapon on the eve of yesterday? Although there are many people who sneak attack, we can fight our way out of the battle and send Rokuro out of the encirclement, and we will never be so humiliated! ”

Duch sat on the grass and moved his numb hands and feet, and when he heard this, he smiled and said: "I have waited in the capital, and I have neither insoluble old enmity nor abundant goods. Although I don't know the intentions of those people, in this central part of Gyeonggi, it is useless to kill me, but to provoke my own sin. In that case, why bother to fight for human life for a senseless fight. There are outlaws in the world, and a small gap can donate their lives. You are all my brothers and sisters, how can you die so easily! ”

When the Du family members heard this, they felt a lot of emotion in their hearts, but they still said: "After all, it's too dangerous!" Those murderers are in a hurry, and their evil thoughts are not small, if you plan badly, you will be killed! Don't do it again in the future, if you really ...... Alas, how will I meet the ancestor in the future! ”

"Once is already shocking, how can you hope for it again!"

Although Duch's tone was relaxed, his mood was heavy. The night before, he had been attacked inside the courtyard gate, and he had already guessed who was coming. Although the garrison of Jiankang City is relaxed, it is not a wilderness where there is no prohibition on entering and exiting, and there are guards near the big truss gate to strictly check to prevent the impact of the chaotic people. There are not many people who can mobilize more than 100 soldiers in the capital, and even fewer people who harbor malicious intentions towards themselves.

As soon as I thought about it, the answer was about to come out, most likely the king of Nanton. As for why King Nanton would target him, Duch also quickly had a guess.

Regarding the situation of King Nanton in the current situation, Du He had heard Chu Jiye talk about it a long time ago, and he had also gained something in the capital recently. The family had offended King Nanton earlier, although they were rescued by the Shen family. As his reputation in the capital grew, it was inevitable that King Nanton would think of the old gap, and he probably wanted to use this as a threat in the hope of getting in touch with the Shen family, but he was refused, so his resentment turned to himself.

In this regard, Du He did not feel that he was affected and suffered an unjustified disaster, after all, it was his family who offended the king of Nanton first. On the contrary, he was faintly worried that the king of Nanton had gone to such great lengths to send people to kidnap him out of the city, and it was definitely not just for the sake of intimidation, there must have been other arrangements. He knew that what he had done would be too bad if it were to be spread, so he was anxious and eager to know what the situation was in the capital now.

If this matter only damaged his reputation, it would be fine, but now that he is famous in the capital, it has a great relationship with the support of the Shen family, and he is most afraid that Shen Zhezi's reputation will also be affected by this. At that time, not only will he not be able to repay the favor, but he will be affected by Shen Zhezi, so he really doesn't know how to face Shen Zhezi.

"Everyone's okay, right? If it's all right, we'll go back to the capital now! ”

Although everyone suffered from flesh and skin, they were not seriously injured, and after hearing this, they got up one after another, picked up some bamboo sticks and sticks on the side of the road, held them in their hands, and hugged Du He and walked in the direction of Duzhong.

After passing through the reeds, the group recognized the direction and hurried along the avenue. After more than an hour, the east fence gate was already vaguely in sight, but before he was about to go to the fence gate, Du He's heart moved, if it was really the king of Nanton who sent someone to kidnap him this time, then his whereabouts must be accurate, but I am afraid that there is already a layout near the fence gate.

Therefore, Du He was not in a hurry to pass through the door, but first sent a family soldier with no special appearance to observe. After a while, the family soldiers hurriedly walked back, and said with a gloomy expression: "Liulang's expectations are not bad, there are really a group of guards behind the fence to strictly check the past travels, and many interrogations are looking for me. ”

Du Heluo groaned, asked the soldiers to come forward and give a few words, and then let him into the city, while he led the others to find a place outside the city to stay and hide.

When it was getting late, more than a hundred knights galloped out of the capital, and when they reached the fence gate, they were blocked by the guards, and one of the knights stepped forward to hand over the voucher and said: "My family Langjun is going out of the city because of urgent matters, and I hope that your family will be convenient." ”

The other party took it and looked at it, and his face suddenly became awe-inspiring: "It turns out that Haiyan Man is going out of the city, and it will be late, I don't know if Shen Lang needs a guard to accompany him?" ”

"I'm tired."

Shen Zhezi nodded on the horse, and the general of the guard couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he really just said politely, but he didn't expect the other party to take it seriously. But the words have already been spoken, and they can only be separated from a group of nearly 100 people who stand together with the Shen family.

"Lang Jun ......"

Liu Meng, who was on the horse, let out a low call, looked at several figures hurrying to the city from the fence gate, and his fingers were already buckled with bowstrings.

"Let them go, I'm afraid that King Nanton will be too late to believe."

Shen Zhezi sneered, and even if he slapped the horse through the wide open fence, the other soldiers followed suit. As for the guards who were sent to accompany the guards, they had no horses, so they could only run all the way to follow with a bitter face.

After the group crossed a stream, Shen Zhezi asked people to summon the Du family's messenger and asked, "Where is Du Jun now?" ”

The soldier stood on the single-plank bridge and shouted the code words agreed earlier, and after a while, Du He and a group of embarrassed people came out from behind the bushes and shouted from afar: "It's Shen Lang who came? ”

Knowing that Du He was fine, Shen Zhezi also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he guessed that King Nanton would not dare to really harm Duhe, he was not completely sure, which could be regarded as a test for Duhe. If even this kind of emergency can't save your life, there will naturally be no safety in the more dangerous Yuzhou in the future.

Seeing Du He, who had a sad and dejected look on his face, Shen Zhezi bowed his head slightly on the horseback and said: "Brother Daohui is unharmed, that's the best, it's inconvenient to comfort at the moment, please Brother Daohui get on the horse, I'll take you to take revenge!" ”

Before the words fell, a servant of the Shen family sent the idle horses in the team, Du He turned over and got on the horse, and before he had time to say more, Shen Zhezi had already turned his horse and rushed in another direction, and he was worth following quickly.

In the darkness of the night, a group of knights roared across the stream, and soon stopped in front of a grand garden house.

Shen Zhezi paused, raised the whip in his hand and pointed at the door of the court and said, "Kill!" Except for the leader, not a single one remains! ”
