Chapter 409: Adultery

This is the third and fourth squad that Han Yanzhi arranged to come over earlier. At the same time, after a clash between the cavalry of the first and second squads, they also temporarily forced the Jin soldiers who came to besiege them. So Han Shizhong's father and son hurriedly took the opportunity to lead the troops to retreat, although the golden vulture followed closely, but it was difficult to catch up for a while, and later saw that Han Shizhong's team was more and more, and thought that the father and son were good at martial arts. It is said that in the past two years, Jin Wushu's temperament has changed a lot, at least at the critical moment, he will no longer be manipulated by his violent temperament as before, and this time he also suppressed his anger and stopped chasing.

However, it was said that the Jin soldiers on the front line under the West Gate City saw the chaos of the rear army, and they all panicked, and several Song generals immediately commanded a counterattack and gradually stabilized their positions.

After a while, Han Shizhong led his troops to kill, and the morale of the Song soldiers in the city was greatly shaken when they saw this, and they all hissed and shouted, long live. The Jin soldiers hurriedly met the block, and were killed in a big mess. Suddenly, the Song soldiers opened the city gate, and when Han Shizhong led his troops to break in, the rear of the Jin army also sounded the horn of Mingjin to collect the troops.

With the withdrawal of the Jin Wushu army at the West Gate, the horns of the Jin army on both sides of the north gate and the east gate soon sounded one after another. It was getting dark, the sun was setting, and it was dusk again.

On this day, although the casualties of the two armies were not as tragic as those of the days before the siege, the thrilling danger was the most since the siege began. The West Gate, which was guarded by Chen Tao, was almost broken by the Jin people under the clever plan of the Golden Vultures. Most of the soldiers under Chen Tao's command died, and the surviving generals secretly hated Chen Tao for being selfish and incompetent today, forcing the brothers to die. These are already the same as Chen Tao, and they are all greedy for money and afraid of death, and they have secretly begun to discuss taking refuge in Jinren in order to save their lives and become rich. And Chen Tao, who escaped today, has this idea.

That night, the seats had just been dispersed. Chen Tao hurried home, and two henchmen were waiting in the mansion early in the morning. One of them, Ma Xin, and the other is named Li Hongtao. Chen Tao led the two to a remote courtyard in the house, and after entering the room, he closed the doors and windows tightly.

After a while, the three of them were sitting down, ready to discuss the matter of taking refuge, and suddenly someone outside the door reported urgently, saying that King Kang Zhao Gou and Han Shizhong were rushing to come, saying that there was an important military situation to discuss, and the guards in the palace went to stop them, but they were knocked over by Han Shizhong's righteous son Seven or eight people.

"Bastard!! This Han Shizhong is only from a humble family, and he dares to be so presumptuous and connive at the fake son to do evil in my house, it is too much to see anyone!! Chen Tao was furious when he heard this, but he relied on his prestige in the city, forgiving Han Shizhong and others for not daring to be disrespectful to him, but this time he was very bold.

"Humph! Adults, don't be impatient. In this Pingyang City, Han Shizhong is indeed not a person. His Royal Highness King Kekang is different, he is the Zhao royal family, although he is not favored, but it is not something we can deal with. Now Han Shizhong is looking for him to come over, I'm afraid that the person who came is not good, and adults need to be cautious. ”

Ma Xin's triangular eyes narrowed and snorted coldly. Chen Tao's face changed when he heard this, his big eyes swirled, and he hurriedly said to Li Hongtao beside him: "Ma Xin is right! Be prepared!! You quickly go to the back door, rush to the barracks, and explain the situation to the old man's brothers, but in case, the old man will quickly send someone to report!! ”

When Li Hongtao heard this, he hurriedly shook his spirits, gave up his hand, and then hurried out. Chen Tao and Ma Xin also rushed out together, but they wanted to buy time for Li Hongtao to meet Zhao Gou and Han Shizhong.

After a while, Chen Tao and Ma Xin came to a corridor, and when they heard Zhao Gou, Han Shizhong and several generals rushing over, they hurriedly knelt down on one knee to Zhao Gou led by him, and bowed his hand.

"The villain waits to meet His Royal Highness King Kang!"

Zhao Gou's face froze, and he said coldly: "General Chen and General Ma, please." ”

When the two of them saw that Zhao Gou's face was not good, they were both worried in their hearts. Chen Tao got up, and hurriedly asked with a smile: "The villain is discussing tomorrow's war with Ma Xin, I don't know if His Royal Highness King Kang came to miss the welcome, and I hope His Royal Highness King Kang is not strange." ”

"If it's really good to discuss the military situation, I'm afraid that someone has a ghost and wants to commit treason!!" Zhao Gou's face became colder and colder, and the words he said were like arrows, piercing into the hearts of Chen Tao and Ma Xin, frightening the two of them, and they hurriedly knelt down again and begged for mercy, each shouting innocence.

Zhao Gou snorted coldly and didn't respond. Chen Tao suddenly glared at Han Shizhong, who was looking at him coldly, and shouted: "His Royal Highness King Kang, don't believe what those low-born rats say, villains have served the court for generations, and they are loyal to Bixia, the sun and the moon can be learned, and there is no slightest dissent~~!" ”

Zhao Gou listened, let out a long sigh, turned around, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said lightly: "If you are really loyal to my Great Song, why are you so cowardly in today's battle." Now that the country is in the autumn of critical survival, the righteous people of the world are willing to shed their blood for the country, and they will not hesitate to fight for the country. As a defense envoy of Pingyang, you are cowardly and afraid of war, and you are secretly discussing with your subordinates tonight, what are your intentions, and do you still use me to explain it!? ”

"Your Highness, forgive your sins, forgive your sins~~!! The villain has no dissent, he is wronged, wronged~~!! When Chen Tao heard this, his face changed drastically, and he actually fell to Zhao Gou's feet and kowtowed to beg for mercy. Seeing this, Ma Xin also hurriedly bowed, and said that he was wronged.

"The Great Song Dynasty was harmed by these selfish traitors who were greedy for life and afraid of death, so that the disasters were endless, and the thieves rose one after another, get out of the way of this king!!" Seeing that Chen Tao still did not admit his guilt, Zhao Gou was furious and kicked him away. Chen Tao screamed, his body rolled, and Ma Xin, who was behind, hurriedly held on.

Suddenly, Chen Tao's face changed, his tears were contained, his eyes showed a bit of vicious dog color, and he hissed: "Zhao Gou~~!! If you want to convict the old man, bring the evidence, just rely on your one-sided words, and say that the old man is treasonous, I am afraid that the world will not accept it!! ”

“hahahaha~~!! What a Chen Tao, you finally showed your true colors!! Someone~~!! Zhao Gou suddenly shouted, and suddenly saw a team of soldiers coming over with the housekeeper in Chen Tao's mansion. The housekeeper was about fifty or sixty years old, and under Chen Tao's angry gaze, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to face it.

"Don't be afraid, with this king here, no one will dare to hurt half of your hair. Expose the wickedness of this traitor!! Zhao Gou said coldly. When the old housekeeper heard this, he hurriedly thanked him first, and just as he was about to open his mouth, Chen Tao began to hiss and scold. Han Shizhong hated these traitors the most in his life, and when he took one step, he slapped Chen Tao away. Chen Tao screamed and passed out. Seeing this, Ma Xin hurriedly shouted murder, and there was a sudden chaos in the house.

When the guards and subordinates in the palace rushed one after another, some of them wanted to take the opportunity to escape and inform Chen Tao's henchmen. Suddenly, there was a burst of shouting outside the house, and a team of soldiers and horses arrived, and those who wanted to sneak out were all arrested.

"Pass my order, whoever dares to be presumptuous will be sentenced to treason, and the local will be beheaded!!" Zhao Gou shouted, and suddenly the guards and subordinates who rushed to him were all frightened, and they knelt down one after another, shouting for mercy.

After a while, the soldiers and horses outside the mansion rushed in and quickly guarded the exits of Chen Tao's mansion. At this time, Han Yan directly led the name of Zhao Gou, brought two buckets, and then under Zhao Gou's signal, he woke up Chen Tao.

Chen Tao woke up in shock, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that there were soldiers in neat armor in front of him, and his face suddenly changed drastically in fright, and for a while, the whole person was stunned like a wooden chicken.

At this time, the old housekeeper had already opened his mouth and told Chen Tao and Jin Ren about their fornication. But it was the old housekeeper who heard Chen Tao's conversation with his confidant outside the door one day, so he learned. And Han Shizhong Xu earlier, because of the leakage of the news, he suspected Chen Tao, and secretly sent people to contact the people in his mansion, and finally made a breakthrough here in his mansion steward in recent days.

After Han Shizhong heard about it, he originally wanted to persuade Zhao Gou to kill Chen Tao urgently. But Zhao Gou thinks that Chen Tao's prestige in the city is not low, and now that the strong enemy is outside, he is afraid of causing chaos in the city and being taken advantage of by the Jin people.

Unexpectedly, because of his momentary hesitation, Pingyang City was almost broken by the Jin people. So, Zhao Gou also made up his mind to eradicate Chen Tao tonight.

When the old housekeeper said Chen Tao's evil deeds, Chen Tao wanted to interrupt several times, but was frightened by Han Shizhong's eyes. After the old butler finished speaking, he still refused to admit his guilt.

At this moment, someone suddenly came and said a few words in Han Shizhong's ear. After hearing this, Han Shizhong smiled coldly and said to Chen Tao: "Hmph!! You old thing, you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin!! Okay, I'll let you die convincingly!! Bring that Li Hongtao here!! ”

Chen Tao suddenly changed color when he heard this, and glanced at Ma Xin, both of them had panicked eyes in their eyes.

When I was young, I saw Li Hongtao being escorted over by a big bundle of flowers. It turned out that Han Shizhong had been prepared and sent someone to wait at the back door. As soon as Li Hongtao came out, he was captured by Dong Min. Dong Min told Li Hongtao that the old housekeeper in Chen Tao's mansion had exposed Chen Tao's crimes. Li Hongtao was already timid, but later he was frightened by Dong Min, so he gave everything out. When Dong Min learned about it, he sent someone to inform Han Shizhong.

It is said that under Chen Tao's gaze, Li Hongtao trembled and did not dare to look directly. When Chen Tao saw this, he knew that Li Hongtao had also betrayed him, and seemed to understand that he had no way out, so he roared and pounced on Li Hongtao like a vicious dog.

"Thieves kill only ~~!! The old man treats you like a humerus!! You dare to betray the old man~~!! Chen Tao had a sudden attack, and Li Hongtao couldn't react, so he was thrown down suddenly. Chen Tao bit his ear, although Li Hongtao's body was much stronger than Chen Tao, but this time he was tied by hemp rope, it was difficult to struggle, screaming again and again, and in a hurry, he even opened his mouth and turned over to bite Chen Tao. The surrounding soldiers saw that they were about to evacuate the two.

Zhao Gou snorted coldly, raised his hand and said, "Just let these two traitorous villains bite the dog bones!" ”

Li Hongtao was so angry when he heard this, he couldn't help screaming. Chen Tao became more and more crazy, biting Li Hongtao's throat, Li Hongtao suddenly couldn't make a sound, and after a painful struggle, he was finally bitten to death by Chen Tao, an old mad dog.

And just when Chen Tao yelled and wanted to pounce on the old butler not far away, Han Shizhong couldn't bear to see this kind of scene again, stepped out and kicked him away. Several soldiers pounced and quickly captured Chen Tao.

Zhao Gou's face was gloomy, and after seeing it, he couldn't help frowning, with some anger in his eyes, and looked at Han Shizhong. Han Shizhong hurriedly arched his hand and replied: "This person is still available, Your Highness may wish to leave his dog life first, and wait for tomorrow to announce his crime in the army, so that everyone can have a clear understanding, so that the morale of the army can be quickly stabilized." ”

Ma Xin, who was already stunned by the fright next to him, heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying that he was willing to testify and expose it, just hoping that he could be lightly punished and save his life.

Zhao Gou listened, his expression was slightly restrained, and after a long sigh, he said to Han Shizhong: "You are right, just follow your orders." ”

At this time, it was already the second watch. Zhao Gou did not feel better because of solving Chen Tao's troubles, but he was still frowning, only feeling physically and mentally exhausted, and was about to disperse everyone.

Suddenly, there was a series of shouts and killings from the south gate. Zhao Gou, Han Shizhong and the others were suddenly frightened. Under Han Shizhong's order, Han Yanzhi hurriedly rushed out.

When he was young, Han Yanzhi came with a rare panic and reported: "His Royal Highness King Kang! Daddy! The torches around the south gate are chaotic, and the sound of killing is loud, and the Jin people seem to have entered the city!! ”

"What!! I ordered Xie Yuan to lead the troops to take over in the morning, why was he still killed by the Jin people in the city!? ”

Han Shizhong was obedient, and couldn't help but tighten his body, and an extremely ominous premonition enveloped his whole body, and he shouted quickly.

Zhao Gou was so angry that he lost his mind, suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, pounced on Chen Tao with a hideous face, and shouted: "Wow!! You have already had a hand, and you have already committed adultery to the city tonight!! ”
