Chapter 14: The Knife
Hu Guozhu stretched out his hand and put the knife on Cheng Xiaolian's neck: "Little bastard, are you tired of being crooked?" β
Cheng Xiaolian was already so nervous in his heart that he couldn't do it, and his face still pretended to be disdainful: "As long as you are not blind, everyone knows that King Pingxi is about to start an incident, and when the new dynasty is established, you are one step slower than Xia Guoxiang, but every step is slow, and when the time comes, you will have to lift shoes to Xia Guoxiang!" β
Hu Guozhu swung the knife fiercely, and the knife was directly inserted into Cheng Xiaolian's arm, and then nailed his arm to the ground: "Little bastard, you want to die!" β
Cheng Xiaolian knew that life and death were in an instant, and if he couldn't convince Hu Guozhu, he would die on the spot in a while!
He endured the severe pain and laughed contemptuously: "If you know the news and tell King Pingxi in advance, you will be the first hero at that time." You are Wu Sangui's son-in-law, in my opinion, Xia Guoxiang is Wu Sangui's son, if you can't grasp this opportunity, you will have to be ridden by him around the neck for the rest of your life! β
Hu Guozhu stretched out his hand and grabbed Cheng Xiaolian's neck: "Even you dare to mock me?" β
"I'm not mockingγγγγγγ You...... It's for youγγγγγγ Pointing the way to the roadγγγγγγ Ahem, ahem. β
Hu Guozhu let go of his hand: "Okay, I will promise you, if you dare to sin me, this matter will not shake my foundation, and when the time comes, I will make you regret living!" β
Saying that, Hu Guozhu shouted loudly at the back: "Bring a pen and paper for Lao Tzu!" β
Several pro-soldiers were dumbfounded, who still had paper and pen with them when they came out to cut people, but fortunately, there were many farmers around, and they grabbed it directly and put it on the table to study the ink.
Hu Guozhu roared: "Roll away for Lao Tzu, whoever dares to approach here will be killed!" β
Saying that, picking up the pen to dance with the dragon and the phoenix, Cheng Xiaolian scolded: "Can you let me go first!" β
Hu Guozhu ignored him, and wrote for half an hour before slowly putting away the pen, blowing the ink on it, and then holding up the paper: "Let's see if it's okay to write like this?" β
Cheng Xiaolian's bleeding eyes were already blackened, and he barely looked at it: "Yes, give it to them and let them leave." Your men are not allowed to follow, they must all be here to watch! β
Hu Guozhu snorted: "Lao Tzu has always spoken with a mouthful of spit and a mouthful of nails. As he spoke, he folded the paper and handed it to Zhang Peng: "Boy, if you dare to open it and take a look, or give it to someone else, I will slaughter your whole family!" β
Zhang Peng took the paper tremblingly and glanced at Cheng Xiaolian on the ground: "Third master, what's going on?" β
"You take the paper and hurry back, remember, this piece of paper is my life, no one can tell me when I go back to the house, wait for me to go back and give me the paper, if you really pass the paper out, no one can save you!"
Zhang Peng nodded: "I understand, when will you go back, third master?" β
Hu Guozhu laughed viciously: "He can't leave yet, you guys get out of here!" β
Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "Hurry up!" β
As soon as Zhang Peng gritted his teeth, he picked up Wang Wu and ran towards the city, Hu Guozhu snorted: "Come on, pick up this kid on the ground and give him some knife medicine, you can't let him die now!" β
Immediately, a soldier came over, grabbed the ends of his arm, pulled out the knife violently, poured the knife wound medicine on it, and then wrapped the wound with a cloth.
Hu Guozhu laughed: "Boy, three or four of the ten people who were hit by the knife on the battlefield have to die, if your kid's life is not good, don't blame me." β
Cheng Xiaolian snorted and said in his heart: With your bandaging method, it is a blessing not to be infected.
"Okay, boy, I've done everything I promised you, what about what you promised me?"
Cheng Xiaolian glanced at the people around him: "You can trust all of these?" β
Hu Guozhu endured his anger: "Let Lao Tzu stay away, no one is allowed to come without Lao Tzu's order." β
When everyone was far away, Cheng Xiaolian coughed and lowered his voice: "Zhu Guozhi replied that although King Pingxi is old, he still has the courage to be honest, it is better to delay it for another two years, and when he is too old to get on the horse, the Guanning Iron Horse will be wasted!" β
Hu Guozhu's eyes widened angrily: "This old horseman is really ruthless!" β
He no longer doubts the authenticity of Cheng Xiaolian's words, after all, this kind of thing can't be made up by a subordinate, and who can guess that the little emperor really wants to withdraw the domain?
Speaking of this, Cheng Xiaolian struck while the iron was hot: "I still have a deal to negotiate with the general, I don't know if the general is interested?" β
Hu Guozhu glanced him up and down: "Let's hear it." β
"Today's job I received is to collect rent, if the general can help me solve this trouble, then I can continue to pass on the news of the palace to the general in the future, and the general will have the advantage on the side of the king of Pingxi!"
Hu Guozhu smiled: "The prince has already arranged countless spies around Zhu Guozhi, why should I give you silver?" β
"Do they know the content of Zhu Guozhi's reply to the little emperor? In this situation, King Pingxi still doesn't dare to do anything to Zhu Guozhi, right? β
Hu Guozhu smacked his lips and thought about it for a long time: "I'll give you a hundred taels of silver tickets!" β
"Five hundred taels!"
"Boy, you don't want to get an inch!"
"General, if you can suppress Xia Guoxiang, there will be countless five hundred taels sent to your mansion in the future!"
Hu Guozhu slapped Cheng Xiaolian's head: "That's it! I don't know where such a freak as you came out, I'll give you five hundred taels, but if I find out that you take advantage on both sides and don't do anything on both sides, Lao Tzu will definitely cut off your hands and feet! β
"Don't worry, when we come out to do things, what we pay attention to is a letter, collect money from people, and eliminate disasters for others."
Hu Guozhu waved his hand: "In the future, if there is a situation, let people put the news with the doorman in my house, and I will tell the other side to receive the news." β
"Deal!"
After Hu Guozhu took people away, Cheng Xiaolian immediately knelt on the ground, his whole body was already soaked, the wound was still painful, and cold sweat was breaking out on his forehead.
Fortunately, Cheng Xiaolian remembered that the number two person in Wu Sangui's army was Xia Guoxiang, of course, Hu Guozhu, who was also Wu Sangui's son-in-law, did not have such great power, and even many generals in the army looked down on this person at all.
Therefore, Cheng Xiaolian judged on this basis that Hu Guozhu must be unconvinced in his heart, and even hated Xia Guoxiang to the bone marrow. That's why I came up with this idea, but I didn't expect to miss Hu Guozhu's ferocity, he even slaughtered three people without saying it, and also stabbed himself, today's game, even if he won the bet, it was a miserable victory.
Finally walked back to the front of the house, Zhang Peng and Wang Wu had been waiting for a long time, Cheng Xiaolian laughed and fainted on the ground.
